Chapter 496 Classroom 'Secret Meeting'
"Her? Her classmates call her 'Study Machine,' she's like a complete bookworm, who knows if she's a fan of any celebrities." Mu Yang shook his head. "But why are you suddenly asking this?"
"nothing."
Wen Ni didn't say anything more.
She remembered clearly that before the exchange meeting started, Liu Nan knocked her phone away and ran to ask Lu Jinye for an autograph, but she didn't get one.
Later, when entering the room, Liu Nan deliberately bumped into her water bottle, and during the Q&A session, she volunteered to answer the question, but her answer was completely irrelevant...
Well, so they're putting the blame on her again?
It's all Lu Jinye's fault, that male swindler.
Wen Ni shook her head, then looked at Mu Yang and the other person who were still standing in front of her and said, "You two should go to the cafeteria to get your food. Remember to order extra crispy pork."
"Okay, don't forget the autograph I asked for! We'll be waiting for you at the cafeteria!"
Mu Yang and Ma Weiwei nodded, glanced longingly in Lu Jinye's direction, and then reluctantly turned and left together.
A few minutes later
As the students left, the front and back doors of the multimedia lecture hall slowly closed.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Wen Ni, let's go stand guard outside." Qin Yuan, with great tact, led the bodyguards out, leaving the two of them alone.
The huge classroom fell silent instantly.
Where is my gift?
Wen Ni walked up to Lu Jinye, palm facing up.
He raised his hand and placed his own hand on top of his.
"Tsk, are you just trying to fool me?" Wen Ni slapped it away.
"I'm offering myself as a gift, and you don't even like it?" Lu Jinye leaned closer, wrapped his arm around her waist, and whispered lingeringly in her ear. This demeanor was completely different from his serious and proper manner when he was trying to avoid suspicion.
“Senior Lu, this is a classroom.” Wen Ni turned around, placed one hand against his chest, and pointed to the electronic device above their heads with the other. “There’s surveillance.”
"Don't worry, I'll have Qin Yuan delete it in a bit." Lu Jinye's eyes were dark. He pressed down on her arm and, without saying a word, lowered his head and planted a deep and lingering kiss on her!
The sound of students playing around could be heard coming from the hallway outside the door.
Wen Ni, who had almost succumbed to the kiss, suddenly came to her senses. She quickly pushed against his chest and took a step back.
"Why are you running away?" He took a step forward, bracing his hands on the table behind her, trapping her, his tone slightly displeased.
"Be careful your classmates don't see you." She put her hand on his collar and cautiously peered towards the door.
"I know I won't cause you any trouble." Lu Jinye smiled helplessly, gently pinching her chin with his fingers. "Although, secretly, I really want to acknowledge our relationship in front of everyone!"
"No way! Don't underestimate a woman's jealousy and fighting spirit. I don't want to be ganged up on." Wen Ni warned him seriously, then slapped a stack of photos on his chest. "My roommate asked me to pick a few and sign them."
"Don't you need to sign them all?" Lu Jinye took out a pen and flicked his wrist.
"There are dozens of these here. If you sign them all, I won't be able to explain our relationship. After all, I'm just a student, how could I possibly have the influence to make you sell your skills to me?"
"You really are cautious." Lu Jinye raised an eyelid, signed a document, and said in a deep voice, "Are you going to keep this a secret until the day we get married?"
"Marriage?" Wen Ni was stunned, and asked absentmindedly, "When? When did I agree to marry you?"
"Then who are you going to marry? Have you forgotten what you said yourself, that you wanted to have a home with me? The title of Mrs. Lu is not for nothing." Lu Jinye paused, looking at her with a half-smile. "The mourning period is almost over, and we should start preparing for our affairs. Grandpa in heaven will also be looking forward to that day."
"I... I was drunk that day and that's when I talked nonsense. Besides, I'm still in school! How can I get married?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? That's called speaking the truth when drunk. Also, Miss Wen Ni, you can get married in college."
"……but……"
She had considered marriage before, but they had never brought it up openly. Now that they were facing it head-on, she felt somewhat lost.
"I suddenly remembered something I forgot to tell you." Wen Ni hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised her head with a serious expression.
Seeing her serious expression, Lu Jinye hesitated, and the joking look on his face faded a bit. "What is it? Tell me."
“I once swore before my mother’s memorial tablet that I would not marry for three years, otherwise my husband’s whole family would die and my descendants would suffer.”
"..."
Lu Jinye remained silent for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing. "Is this what you wanted to talk about?"
“Yeah… what are you laughing at?” Wen Ni asked.
"I laugh at how ruthless you are to yourself, making such a vicious oath." Lu Jinye's smile carried a hint of bitterness. He put down his pen, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and the shadow cast by his brows reflected his gloomy mood. "I know that you accepting me is already a big step. I shouldn't have been so pushy. I should have given you time to slowly accept every step we'll take from here on out. It's just a three-year period, isn't it? There's less than a year left. I can wait."
"I……"
His somber tone made Wen Ni feel a pang of sadness. "Lu Jinye, the oath I made is real. It was made when I drew a line between Phoenix Village and Wen Yuanshan and the others. It wasn't something I made up."
She could only keep clarifying that she wasn't intentionally avoiding him, but she didn't know what to say to comfort him, nor how to explain her inner turmoil to him!
“I know, I believe you.” Lu Jinye sighed, and when he released her again, his face was calm and indifferent. “It’s getting late, and I have a meeting later. I’m afraid I can’t have lunch with you today.”
"Hmm...you go ahead and get busy."
Wen Ni nodded. She was always so calm and composed, very sensible and sensible, and never made demands.
Lu Jinye gave her a deep look, turned around, put his hand on the doorknob and pulled it open halfway, but then stopped!
"Wen Ni, every moment you're not by my side, I miss you madly, do you know that?"
"I know." Wen Ni looked at his back, her heart clenching.
"And you? Have you ever felt the same way I have, even for a moment?" Lu Jinye had his back to her, not turning around, but his expression was full of implicit expectation. "Or, for a fleeting moment, just a fleeting moment, have you ever missed me? Did you not want me to leave your side?"
“I’m not good at missing someone.” Wen Ni opened her mouth, her voice strained and stiff. “Because I’m afraid that if I think about it too much, I’ll develop more and more greed. With greed comes delusion. And when the moment comes that I have to lose someone, I won’t be able to let go.”
"..." Lu Jinye's hand on the doorknob tightened even more, his Adam's apple bobbing nervously. "Was there something I did wrong that made you afraid of losing me, and even thought about letting go?"
"No, you did a great job. It's me who wasn't good enough."
Wen Ni lowered her eyelashes, her voice cold yet clear. She stepped forward and gently embraced him from behind.
"I always tend to plan for the worst, neglecting your feelings and forgetting to reciprocate my emotions. But you know I'm not good at expressing these things, only this beating heart can tell you just how much I care about you! I admit I'm a novice when it comes to relationships, I still have a lot to learn. Would you be willing to help me?"
