Chapter 404 Be a good girl and wait for me at home
Xiao Cheng still had some finishing touches to complete, and Bai Lu also needed to inform Shang Chuyao that it was time to go home with her for the Mid-Autumn Festival and to visit the fruit farm.
The departure time is set for tomorrow morning.
After visiting my brothers and sisters in Hwaseong, I took a bus home from there.
It was afternoon.
As darkness fell, dark clouds began to gather, threatening rain.
Bai Lu needed to hurry to the school to inform Shang Chuyao, so she quickly changed her shoes at the entrance and prepared to leave.
A deep voice, taken from a moment of rest, came from inside the house: "Bring an umbrella."
"I see."
Bai Lu changed into her refreshing sandals, a must-have for rainy days, grabbed an umbrella from the shelf, and headed out.
As I turned to close the door, a tall figure came into view, and was right in front of me.
Bai Lu decisively pushed it away.
"I can go to school by myself. You still have work to finish, so you can't be late."
Xiao Cheng stood inside the door, frowning as he watched the door close and the slender figure gradually disappear.
I'm considering whether or not to make a move...
The door suddenly opened at the last moment before it was closed.
The girl holding the umbrella rushed in and kissed him on the cheek, saying, "Don't sneak out!"
"I can manage on my own. I'll come back after I tell Yao Yao. Be a good girl and wait for me at home, okay?"
The door closed this time, and the slender figure drifted away, but the soft warmth of her cheek remained, the lingering heat still present. Xiao Cheng's cool lips curled slightly.
Without further hesitation, he turned around and went back.
Let's finish those last few tasks first, and if she still hasn't returned, then we'll go pick her up.
Dormitory 506.
Shang Chuyao was lying on the bed reading a storybook, engrossed in it with her eyes shining.
Aside from reading economic and financial publications and business weekly, she is only interested in notebooks.
Aside from necessary market economy exploration, they basically stay home, almost as much as during the White Dew season.
Perhaps it is because they share similar interests, personalities, and a common drive to improve themselves that they are drawn together and have so much more to talk about besides life.
Because of her past life's experience of making the wrong friends, Bai Lu is now cautious in making friends, and all her friendships are based on the principle of "gentlemen's friendships, as light as water."
I will no longer easily place my trust or reliance on others.
I will not allow friendship to become a necessity in life.
They avoid mentioning anything that shouldn't be revealed, and when the topic of family comes up in conversation, alarm bells subconsciously ring in their minds.
They erected defenses in their hearts and refused to communicate further.
So Bailu had no friends afterward.
Until the 1990s, we had Xiao Cheng, Xiao Wei, Luo Shiliu, Xiao Dazhuang, Wang Hao, Zhang San Li Si, Awen Adai... the Xiao family, and many, many friends and family members.
Also, the first female friend I could open up to and communicate with was Shang Chuyao.
On the surface, Shang Chuyao appears to be a simple and innocent girl next door, and sometimes she even gives people the illusion of being silly, but in fact she is very smart.
Knowing when to say what, what to ask, and what not to ask.
Shang Chuyao wouldn't pry too much into Bai Lu's privacy. She wouldn't even touch on the minor details of things that Bai Lu never mentioned, completely ignoring them.
Because Bai Lu's relationship with her boyfriend is public, she can make some inappropriate jokes about him.
It wasn't excessive; realizing Bai Lu was embarrassed, she quickly stopped.
A friendship that is measured and discreet is comfortable to be around and is very suitable for the White Dew season.
Bai Lu also likes it very much.
"Yao Yao".
The door to dormitory 506 was open, and a call came after the knocking. Shang Chuyao looked up from her storybook.
The viewpoint is directly facing the doorway.
In an instant, my eyes involuntarily drooled... Ugh!
Their eyes sparkled with amazement at the feast for the eyes; the girl at the door was so beautiful!
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the girl emerged from the water like a lotus flower, bathed in the alternating golden and red glow. A soft halo enveloped her entire body, and the ends of her silky hair were adorned with a circle of light. She seemed like a goddess from a mythological story, stepping down from a dream into the mortal world, otherworldly and detached from the world.
Only one in the world, unparalleled in the world.
Suddenly, the poem came to Shang Chuyao's mind: "To travel far and wide to the human world for a spectacular feast, and to witness the magnificent beauty of the human world."
I'm so envious of Xiao Cheng!
Seeing such a stunning beauty every day, you'd be smiling in your sleep, wouldn't you?
However, Xiao Cheng was also a prodigy. He came to the school to pick up Bai Lu once and captivated a large number of girls. After two or three times, the girls' circle on campus was in an uproar.
After finding out that Xiao Cheng was Bai Lu's boyfriend, she felt nothing but envy, jealousy, and hatred, in addition to feeling inferior to him.
Not only was Shang Chuyao stunned by her beauty, but all the girls in dormitory 506 were also amazed and speechless.
Even Yan Weiwei, who usually likes to sow discord, couldn't find a fault with Bai Lu and stared at her for a long time.
What are you doing here?
Bai Lu looked puzzled: "I came to see Yao Yao. I knocked on the door and called for her. Didn't you hear me?"
Yan Weiwei choked.
The words went straight to Shang Chuyao, who was lying on the bed: "Did you hear that? You probably didn't. If you had, you would have gotten up long ago. Why would you deliberately lie on the bed and not move, making Bai Lu wait for so long?"
Their divisive tactics have resumed.
Shang Chuyao remained calm and composed as she quickly stood up: "Of course I heard it. I was just as amazed by the beauty as you, and I couldn't say a word!"
"It's normal not to react. You didn't react either just now, and you were practically drooling..."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Yan Weiwei refused to admit it, turned her head and wiped her face, then turned back and almost glared at Shang Chuyao to death.
If Shang Chuyao hadn't run so fast... Zhu Moli, who was on the upper bunk across from her, would have glared at her to death.
If you read too many vernacular novels, you'll find them spouting nonsense all day long, exaggerating the facts. In reality, Bai Lu is just a little prettier than the average person!
That's all!
"What does Lulu want from me? Is it because you're finally moving back in tonight?" Shang Chuyao's eyes lit up.
Who wouldn't want to see a beautiful woman every day when they open their eyes, even if they're not in the same dorm?
"What are you thinking about?" Bai Lu chuckled and patted Shang Chuyao's head. "Acheng and I are going to Huacheng to visit friends tomorrow. As I told you before, the first batch of technical backbones for the fruit factory will be here. After the dinner and delivering the mooncakes, we'll go straight home from Huacheng. Didn't you want to visit the fruit base?"
Let's pack our things and get ready tonight.
As partners, it is necessary for both parties to communicate regarding the future development of the factory.
As the investor, we have an even greater right to know our partners' strategic plans in order to assess the potential for economic growth and whether it is worthwhile to increase investment.
The light in Shang Chuyao's eyes didn't diminish; in fact, it shone even brighter: "Wait for me a moment, I'll go back and pack my things right away."
"No need to rush, we're leaving tomorrow morning."
Bai Lu watched as Shang Chuyao rushed into the dormitory and reminded her helplessly, "I'm going back to the dormitory to collect my clothes. I haven't collected the clothes I washed yesterday yet. If you have any questions, just go find me next door."
"Okay! I'll come find you as soon as I've packed my clothes!"
Compared to the noisy dormitory 506, dormitory 508 was very quiet, with an eerie silence.
As soon as Bai Lu entered the door, she was stared at by two pairs of eyes.
