"What Xu Mai said makes sense, especially since you've been admitted to Peking University, which is full of young and promising top students like you. You'll definitely have more to talk about academically and in life." Liu Yushu also said, "And you'll get to know many people your age. By then, you may not necessarily still like Xu Mai."
"If you live with Xu Mai now, I'm afraid you'll regret it when you meet a boy you really like in the capital in the future." Liu Yusu said with worry on her face, holding Lu Youxi's hand.
Liu Yusu felt that Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan were both at an age full of vigor and vitality, and it was hard to guarantee that they would not be unable to control themselves and do something if they lived together.
Especially since the two of them must like each other now, and they both look so good, first of all, they must be in line with each other's aesthetic standards in terms of appearance.
How could she not worry?
"Mom, Dad, I know your concerns." Lu Youxi said, "In fact, even if you have met many people and finally meet someone you like and marry, there is still the possibility of divorce. At that time, if Xu Mai and I really don't like each other anymore, we can just divorce. It doesn't conflict with living with him now."
"How can this be the same? You..." Liu Yusu stuttered, not knowing what to say. She felt embarrassed to talk about this with Lu Youxi, "You slept with him...slept with him, the two of you..."
"Mom." Lu Youxi held Liu Yusu's hand to comfort her, "What happened to me here will not be known to the imperial capital."
"But the villagers will spread gossip!" Liu Yusu said anxiously.
"Then let them spread it. Besides, haven't they spread enough gossip about me?" Lu Youxi said nonchalantly, "Early on, they had already spread rumors about my relationship with Xu Mai in a very bad way. They said that Xu Mai was naked and stayed at home with me, and I don't know what she was doing."
"Puh, puh, puh!" Liu Yushu quickly stopped Lu Youxi, "How can you be so careless with your words, kid?"
Before Lu Youxi responded, Liu Yusu started to feel embarrassed.
But Liu Yusu thought about it and felt that Lu Youxi was still a child at heart, and how could he know those things between husband and wife.
The schools in their town do not focus on physical hygiene and education related to the development of boys and girls.
She still remembered that when Lu Youxi had her first period, she was so scared that she almost cried.
It’s because I didn’t learn the relevant knowledge in school.
I guess Lu Youxi didn’t even know what she just said meant.
Thinking of this, Liu Yusu felt a little more at ease.
"This is the truth. They spread it like this before, and even spread worse things." Lu Youxi said nonchalantly, "In the eyes of the villagers, Xu Mai and I have been having an affair for a long time. Living separately won't change their minds. In fact, if we live separately, it will give them new topics for gossip and rumors."
Liu Yusu felt a little dizzy after hearing what Lu Youxi said, and felt that what Lu Youxi said seemed to make sense.
"So, why don't I move in with Grandma Xu?" Lu Youxi said, "Grandma Xu lives alone, and there are two empty bedrooms in her house. Xu Mai and I can each have one."
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. We sleep in separate rooms and won't do anything rash." Lu Youxi said, "I know my limits. I'm still young. Although I've obtained the marriage certificate with Xu Mai, I don't want to..."
Liu Yushu didn't expect that Lu Youxi was actually quite understanding! Lu Youxi always had big ideas.
She made the decision, no matter what others said.
"Sister, let me help you carry your luggage!" Lu Youxue hurried to follow.
Liu Yusu and Lu Zhenguo followed to the door. Liu Yusu's eyes were red. She felt sad watching her daughter leave home to live with someone else.
"Mom." Lu Youxi said helplessly, "Please don't make me feel like I'm not coming back. Anyway, I'm about to report to school, and I'll have to leave in a few days."
"But how can this be the same?" Liu Yushu hesitated, "You are getting married now..."
"Grandpa and grandma always say that their daughter belongs to another family after she gets married. Do you think so too?" Lu Youxi asked back.
"Of course not!" Liu Yushu hurriedly shook her head and explained, "That's not what I meant."
Lu Youxi smiled, "I know you definitely don't mean that. I always feel that no matter where the child goes, he or she is always the child of the family, and we are always a family. It doesn't mean that once you get married, you belong to someone else's family. When I get to the capital, settle down, and find a good house, I will take you over to live with me. Then won't we be together again?"
"Besides, I lived on campus at that time, and Xu Mai had his own things to deal with, so we were not together. I could go home and reunite with you on weekends or holidays." Lu Youxi continued.
Listening to Lu Youxi's description, Liu Yusu and Lu Zhenguo already had a picture in their minds.
Liu Yusu's eyes were no longer red, and she couldn't help but smile at the scene Lu Youxi described.
Lu Youxi hugged Liu Yusu and said, "Don't be sad."
Liu Yushu sighed, "It's my fault. I made you worry."
After comforting Liu Yusu, Lu Youxi took his luggage and left, and Lu Youxue hurried to follow.
Seeing Lu Youxi carrying a large bag and another on her back, Lu Youxue couldn't help but ask, "Sister, didn't you say you would report to the capital after staying for a few days? Why are you carrying so much luggage?"
Lu Youxi thought to herself, if she didn’t take so much, how could she stand out?
She had to let everyone in the village see her carrying a lot of luggage to look for Zhou Shuyan.
She didn't have much stuff, so in order to fill it up, she stuffed even bed sheets, quilt covers, and books from high school into her room.
"Girls have more things." Lu Youxi said perfunctorily to Lu Youxue.
"Sister, let me help you carry one." Lu Youxue reached out to Lu Youxi.
Lu Youxi weighed it carefully and gave Lu Youxue the smallest and lightest bag.
