Youluo frowned and opened her eyes, but Chu Yi was nowhere to be seen beside her.

He then slowly sat up.

Her body felt like it had been run over by a car; she was in pain all over.

With the culprit not around at the moment, Youluo had no chance to vent her anger on anyone.

If he were here, she would really want to kick him a few times.

Youlu thought to herself, "He really doesn't know how to restrain himself. The phrase 'there's plenty of time' doesn't exist in his dictionary."

It took Youluo a lot of effort to finish washing up. Seeing that Chu Yi wasn't upstairs, she got up and went downstairs.

Upon arriving in the living room, they looked around but couldn't find Chu Yi anywhere.

Youluo was immediately puzzled, "Where did he go at this time?"

When she came downstairs, she specifically checked her phone. It was only a little before nine o'clock, and she hadn't seen any messages from Chu Yi.

He also said he was taking her to meet his parents today, and that he probably wouldn't be going far and would be back soon.

Youluo's legs were so weak that she walked to the sofa and sat down to wait.

Sure enough, a commotion was heard at the door shortly afterward.

Youluo turned her head and saw Chu Yi walking in, wearing a white vest and black shorts.

Turns out they went for a run.

This man has extraordinary energy; he went at it several times during the night and still managed to get up early for a morning run.

If Chu Yi knew what she was thinking, he would definitely say that even if he worked all night, it wouldn't affect his morning run.

I've had the habit of jogging every morning since I joined the army. Unless there are special circumstances, I run five kilometers every morning without fail.

As soon as Chu Yi entered the room, he saw You Luo on the sofa, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, considering You Luo's extraordinary background, he immediately understood.

Chu Yi smiled and walked towards You Luo.

"woke up."

Youluo remained as composed as ever, nodding and saying, "Mm."

However, the slight redness at the corners of her ears betrayed her true feelings.

Chu Yi noticed the redness, but he didn't intend to expose it.

"I'm going to take a shower first. It's getting late. Let's go out to eat later."

Youluo said, "Okay."

Chu Yi came and went quickly.

A dozen minutes later, a noise came from the stairwell.

Youluo, who was looking at her phone, turned her head and saw Chu Yi walking down in a well-tailored dark suit.

Upon getting closer, she noticed that Chu Yi's short hair had also been carefully styled by him.

Seeing how much Chu Yi cares about his image.

Youluo felt a little guilty thinking about meeting her parents today.

She looked down at herself and realized that her clothes seemed a bit too casual.

Youluo looked up at Chu Yi and said, "Wait for me, I'm going to change my clothes. After all, it's the first time I'm meeting your family, and I need to show them my respect."

After saying that, he went straight upstairs without waiting for Chu Yi to speak.

Chu Yi watched his retreating figure, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

I was going to say it didn't matter, as long as it was you, I didn't care what you wore.

However, seeing how much Youluo valued today's meeting, Chu Yi felt a sweet warmth in his heart.

Because only Youluo cares about him, and therefore cares about his family's opinion of her.

To put it more bluntly, Youluo has feelings for him.

Youluo moved quickly, and soon she came down.

Chu Yi watched You Luo approach him from the stairwell, his eyes fixed on her, not wanting to blink.

At this moment, Youluo was wearing a Chanel-style dress, which perfectly outlined her slender figure, and her fair and long legs were particularly eye-catching.

Her long, dark hair was styled into an updo, with two soft, flowing strands framing her face, making her exceptionally captivating.

With her face adorned with exquisite makeup, she appeared less aloof than usual, and more elegant and noble, like a daughter of a prominent family.

Youluo walked to Chu Yi's side, looked at Chu Yi who was staring at her intently, and asked, "What's wrong? Is it because my clothes are inappropriate?"

Youluo looked down at her clothes. "These are some of the few clothes I can still wear that are presentable."

Chu Yi's announcement that he was going to meet her parents caught her somewhat off guard.

She usually likes to wear cheongsams, so she buys one or two sets of fashionable clothes every quarter in case of need.

Thinking that she shouldn't appear too mature at their first meeting, she carefully selected this outfit.

If this set doesn't fit either, then she'll have to buy a new one.

Hearing this, Chu Yi finally snapped out of his thoughts.

He looked up at Youluo and said, "It suits you perfectly. You look beautiful in anything."

Youluo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was worried that if the item wasn't suitable, she would have to buy it again, which would take up too much time. Plus, it was already almost 10 o'clock, and she was worried that making people wait a long time for their first meeting would leave a bad impression.

Youluo was lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice the lustful glint in Chuyi's eyes.

In the end, Chu Yi remembered that today was the first time he had brought Luo'er home, and he forced himself to suppress his inappropriate emotions.

Chu Yi cleared his throat, suppressing the unusual tone in his voice.

He slowly began to speak, "Let's go, let's have breakfast together first."

The two held hands and went out.

Chu Yi took You Luo to a specialty restaurant in the capital and they enjoyed the local morning tea. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they set off to meet the parents.

On the bus.

Looking out the window at the desolate scenery, she suddenly remembered something and quickly turned to Chu Yi, saying, "Yi, turn the corner up ahead, let's go to the supermarket first."

Chu Yi glanced at You Luo and, seeing her anxious expression, asked, "What's wrong?"

Youluo said, "Today is my first time meeting your family, and I can't go empty-handed. If you had told me earlier, I could have prepared according to their preferences. Right now, I can only go to the supermarket to buy some things to take with me, and I'll prepare more gifts for them later."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi did not turn away; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

The more Youluo cares about his family's opinions, the more it shows how important he is to her.

Seeing Chu Yi drive straight through the traffic light, You Luo said, "What's wrong with you? I told you to turn, why did you go straight?"

Chu Yi smiled and said slowly, "You are the best gift."

Upon hearing this, Youluo was taken aback at first, and then said, "Ayi, don't be silly. I've heard Yue say that your country is very particular about etiquette. Quick, turn the corner ahead, I know there's a big shopping mall nearby."

She had also spent some time in the capital, and given her professional habits, the first thing she did when she arrived at a new place was to familiarize herself with the terrain. Therefore, she was very familiar with some of the nearby landmarks.

Seeing that Youluo was genuinely anxious, Chu Yi decided not to tease her any further.

"Okay, I was wrong."

Youluo was a little confused. "Hmm?"

Chu Yi said, "I've prepared all the gifts, they're all in the trunk, just pick them up when you need them."
