Chapter 306: Worried
"Sister-in-law, is the girl who came to see you today your college classmate?"
"Hmm? What?"
Lu Youyou was reading the latest journal and didn't react to what Song Yunqing was saying.
Song Yunqing leaned against the window and pointed downstairs.
She had just come back with Lu Youyou and happened to meet Yu Qingtian downstairs. This was the second time she had met this international student who was also from China.
"We are not classmates, but we came to the United States in the same group." Lu Youyou replied casually.
Song Yunqing didn't have much in common with Yu Qingtian, but it was rare for her to meet a girl who was more outgoing than her, and who was also Chinese, so she was somewhat curious.
Thinking of Yu Qingtian holding a pile of newspapers to thank Lu Youyou, Song Yunqing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, did you teach her how to learn English?"
"Well, she said she couldn't practice speaking well and asked me what to do."
Yu Qingtian kept Lu Youyou's words in mind, read the newspaper every day and spoke boldly. Even though Song Yunqing was fluent in Chinese, she insisted on communicating in English.
Song Yunqing recalled: "It seems to be effective. Half a month ago, she was still stuttering when talking to me, but today she is much better."
Yu Qingtian was serious about flattering the boss and thanking him, and he even gritted his teeth and bought a few kilograms of oranges as a thank you gift.
On the other hand, Li Mingyue was worried about making Lu Youyou unhappy, so she didn't dare to be as "clingy" as Yu Qingtian.
She sat on the lawn in front of the library with a book in front of her. She only read half a page in half an hour.
Yu Qingtian came over here groaning, his features wrinkled: "I'm so tired, it's so heavy, hurry up, help me!"
Li Mingyue stood up immediately and saw that a large bag of oranges was brought back as it was. She asked in surprise, "Student Lu didn't want any?"
Yu Qingtian rubbed the red marks on his hands with a grimace and said, "She only took two, and let us eat the rest ourselves."
International students are not well off financially, so Lu Youyou naturally would not accept any thank-you gifts.
Li Mingyue just felt helpless. She and Yu Qingtian pooled their money to buy the oranges. She thought she could do anything to get closer to Lu Youyou, but Lu Youyou was still so unmoved.
"When you went there, was classmate Lu still in the dormitory?" Li Mingyue asked casually.
"Yes, she has classes in the afternoon, and she just happened to be back from having dinner with her roommate."
Li Mingyue lowered her head and remained silent.
Lu Youyou goes to the laboratory for the first three days of every week, and usually stays at school on Thursdays and Fridays. The man named Lawrence should be Lu Youyou’s colleague in the laboratory, and he would occasionally take her back if it was too late.
She had seen it once from afar, and gradually got some information out of Yu Qingtian.
But how can I approach Lawrence? He seems to rarely appear in school.
"Mingyue? Li Mingyue?" Yu Qingtian called her twice but got no response. He stretched out his hand and pushed her. "Do you want to eat?"
Li Mingyue came back to her senses, took half of the orange and took a tasteless bite.
It’s so sweet! She has never tasted such a sweet orange in her life. Why wouldn’t Lu Youyou want such a good thing?
Although she didn't know what project Lu Youyou was involved in, it was a Stanford professor's laboratory, so she went there just because she said so.
They are all international students, why is Lu Youyou so lucky, and why are the Rockefeller family members also close to her?
"Mingyue, I think Lu Youyou really has no interest in the hometown association. Why don't you just forget about it? If you keep asking, it will be annoying."
Yu Qingtian quickly finished half of the orange, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help it and peeled another one.
You’ve already bought it, it would be a waste if you don’t eat it!
As a result, Li Mingyue still didn't say anything after the second one was peeled. Yu Qingtian rolled his eyes and nudged her with his elbow.
"Hey, what are you daydreaming about? Did you hear what I just said?"
"What?"
"I say, Lu Youyou may not be interested in the hometown association, so don't mention it again."
Li Mingyue fell silent again. She had encouraged Yu Qingtian several times, both openly and secretly, but to no avail. It was really not appropriate to ask any more.
"Well, let's not ask. If there is a chance, we can get together with Lu classmate alone. What do you think?"
"It's fine with me. The key is to look at her. Lu is a very busy person. Even if you go to her dormitory to look for her, she may not be there every time."
Li Mingyue did not comment. Of course she would not be able to find anyone if she did not choose the right time, but she would not tell Yu Qingtian this.
That day, Lu Youyou received a call from Professor Hopkins in the dormitory.
"Lu, there is an academic exchange at UC Berkeley this afternoon. I'll ask Lawrence to pick you up."
"Do you need to prepare anything?"
"No, it's just a simple exchange meeting. Oh, and there will be a buffet in the evening. You just need to wear formal clothes."
In the dormitory, Song Yunqing was playing with hair dye. When she saw Lu Youyou coming back, she asked, "What color do you think I should change to? Gray or light blonde?"
"Gray?" Lu Youyou thought gray was pretty good.
"Okay, then gray. I don't have classes this afternoon, so I'll go dye it today."
Song Yunqing put away a pile of bottles and jars, and suddenly thought of something. She turned around and took Lu Youyou's arm: "Why don't you change your hairstyle too?"
"I'm going to Berkeley this afternoon."
"Ah? Is this what the phone call just now was about?"
"Um."
Song Yunqing pursed her lips and sighed, "Your professor likes you too much. He really doesn't leave you any free time at all!"
However, Song Yunqing was also happy for Lu Youyou. Even though their majors were different, she had heard of Professor Hopkins' name.
Seeing Lu Youyou standing in front of the closet, she asked curiously, "Why, is there a dress code this time?"
"Well, there's a buffet."
"This one, this one, will definitely look good with a suit jacket!"
Song Yunqing pointed to a white satin dress in the closet. It was a gift from her mother to Lu Youyou, and she helped pick it out.
Lu Youyou smiled and said, "Okay, this is it."
The skirt is simple and elegant, very suitable for this formal but not grand occasion.
"It's a pity that my cousin is not here. He wears a white shirt and you wear a white skirt. Tsk tsk, it's pleasing to the eyes just thinking about it!"
For CP fans like Song Yunqing, there is really no sweetness at all when their CP lives apart.
Just like now, Lu Youyou has changed her clothes, and she can only imagine Gu Qingye being by her side.
But even so, she still enjoyed it very much. There was no other way. She had only seen this pair of people who were so well matched from head to toe in her life.
"Sister-in-law, how about I ask the driver at home to take you there?"
Although Berkeley is not far away, Song Yunqing is still worried.
She stared at Lu Youyou and couldn't bear to look away. How could someone wear such a simple skirt so beautifully!
The better she looked, the more worried she became. Mr. Song also knew about the last time Lu Youyou encountered a robbery by Chi Mu Cang, and the family members warned them to be careful.
"It's okay, Lawrence will pick me up later."
"Laurence Rockefeller?"
"Um."
"That's fine."
