When Qiao Lu spoke, a hint of shyness flashed across Qiao Meng's face.
But then, Qiao Meng said openly, "Yes, I haven't been to Xiangshan for a long time. Zhou Yu happened to be here, so I planned to go shopping with him! What's wrong with that?"
"Okay, okay, why not! Do you want to go shopping and buy some clothes or something?" Qiao Lu said cheerfully, and then took out his wallet from his pocket, "How about it, is the money enough? If not, I'll give you some more!"
"Oh, that's enough, I'm already working! Why do I need you to give me money?" Qiao Meng quickly waved her hands, indicating that she didn't need her father's financial support.
Then Qiao Meng grabbed Zhou Yu's arm and dragged him out the door, "Zhou Yu, let's go! It's just right that you're here! Otherwise, I wouldn't know who to find to go shopping with me!"
Qiao Meng pulled lightly, and Zhou Yu seemed to have his soul hooked away. He easily followed Qiao Meng out of the door, even forgetting to say hello before leaving.
Zhou Yu still felt a little dizzy about everything that was happening now, as if he was dreaming.
"Go ahead, go ahead! Have breakfast... No, um, if you don't come back for dinner in the evening, just call me or your mom and let her know!" Qiao Lu still said happily.
They knew a little about Zhou Yu's thoughts, but they did not stop him. Instead, they were happy to see it happen.
Just like Zhou Dahai and Wang Yufang, Qiao Lu and Huang Qing thought that Zhou Yu was someone they had watched grow up. He was a well-behaved child with good character, filial to his parents, and smart. Well, this was proven by the fact that Zhou Yu was admitted to a 211 university.
The most important point is that the child knows everything about the old couple, so they can rest assured.
After leaving the residential building, Zhou Yu was still a little dizzy, and Qiao Meng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw this.
It was this laugh that made Zhou Yu react, but when he saw the beautiful smile, Zhou Yu began to feel confused again.
"Idiot!" Seeing Zhou Yu's look, Qiao Meng rolled her eyes at him and walked straight forward.
"Qiao...Qiao Meng, wait for me! Where are we going?" Seeing Qiao Meng left first, Zhou Yu woke up completely and hurriedly chased after her, still asking stutteringly.
"Let's go shopping! What else can we do?"
......
When I got home again in the evening, it was already 9 o'clock.
Qiao Meng said they were going shopping, but she actually took Zhou Yu to Xiangshan Park and walked around for the entire afternoon.
During the conversation, Zhou Yu spoke a lot, somewhat nervously but seriously, telling Qiao Meng about the various interesting things that had happened to him in Wuzhou Middle School over the past six months.
And Qiao Meng just followed Zhou Yu quietly, looking at the high-spirited Zhou Yu with a smile in her eyes. Her bright eyes seemed to be saying, no matter what you say, I love to listen to it.
However, Zhou Yu, who was somewhat excited and dull, did not notice this at all.
Although he was extremely tired after walking all day, Zhou Yu felt that this afternoon was the happiest day in recent years. Even the day he found out he was admitted to Jiangcheng Normal University was not as happier as today.
After accompanying Qiao Meng on a day of shopping, Zhou Yu originally wanted to take Qiao Meng to a better restaurant for dinner, but Qiao Meng ended up taking him to his favorite pickled fish restaurant.
Looking at the store in front of him, Zhou Yu looked at Qiao Meng, a little hesitant, "Qiao Meng, don't you dislike fish? How about we go to another one? I remember there is a new Korean barbecue restaurant opened on the other side of the street. I remember you like barbecue the most. Let's..."
"Oh, you're so long-winded! Let's eat at this one!" Zhou Yu was interrupted by Qiao Meng before he could finish his words. Xiao Qiao reached out and took Zhou Yu's arm and walked towards the store, "I don't particularly like barbecue! I also like pickled fish, hehe..."
As for Zhou Yu, after Xiao Qiao held his arm, he knew nothing and obediently followed Qiao Meng into the store.
...
...
After dinner, Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng walked towards Qiao Meng's home.
While walking and chatting on the street, Zhou Yu felt a little embarrassed, "I agreed to treat you, but you ended up paying. This makes..."
Hearing Zhou Yu say this, Qiao Meng glared at Zhou Yu in dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with me paying! I have a job! You are still intern, how much money can you make! And..." When she said this, Qiao Meng seemed to think of something, her face suddenly turned red, and then she became quiet.
However, Zhou Yu missed this shy look again.
In Zhou Yu's mind, Qiao Meng was still frowning.
So beautiful! This is the only thought Zhou Yu has now.
In Zhou Yu's eyes, Qiao Meng looks so pretty even when she frowns!
The way home was so long, but now it was so short. Not long after, Zhou Yu sent Qiao Meng to the downstairs of her house with regret.
"Then I'll go home?" Qiao Meng raised her head and looked at Zhou Yu, who was a head taller than her, and blinked.
Zhou Yu felt a little reluctant, but still forced a smile, "Then I'm leaving!" After saying that, Zhou Yu strode back the way he came without looking back.
Only Qiao Meng was left there alone, mumbling something, but Zhou Yu could no longer hear her.
......
'I'm home now!'
The first thing Zhou Yu did after returning home was to send a text message to Qiao Meng.
Within two seconds, Zhou Yu received a reply.
'It's good to be home, hurry up and wash up and go to bed! You've worked hard today!'
"Hey, it's not hard at all!"
"Go and rest quickly! I want to sleep too! I'm so sleepy!"
"Yeah, okay! Go to bed now!"
...
...
In the next few days, in addition to helping with housework, Zhou Yu would chat with Qiao Meng on his phone whenever he had time, and time soon came to the night of New Year's Eve.
The sounds of firecrackers and fireworks outside the window reminded Zhou Yu that it was almost time to say goodbye to 2011 and prepare to officially enter 2012.
After having New Year’s Eve dinner with his parents and watching the Spring Festival Gala with them for a while, Zhou Yu felt quite bored and went back to his room to read a book.
At 0:00 on the first day of the new year, Zhou Yu quickly took out his mobile phone and wrote a message "Happy New Year!" to Qiao Meng.
Two seconds later, there was a beep and a text message came back.
Zhou Yu quickly picked up his phone to check. Sure enough, it was a reply from Qiao Meng, also a blessing message with the words "Happy New Year to you too!"
Zhou Yu chuckled and continued the conversation from the beginning of the text message.
'What did you have for dinner tonight?'
"I ate a lot! Beef, lamb chops, etc. But I think the preserved duck your mother sent was the best!"
"As long as you like it! I'll ask my mom to make more next time and send it to you when the time comes!"
"Okay!"
...
...
In this way, the two chatted intermittently until Zhou Yu was about to fall asleep, when he received a text message. After reading the content of the text message, Zhou Yu suddenly lost all his sleepiness.
"Zhou Yu, I'm already 23! How long are you going to make me wait?"
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”
After sending this text message, Qiao Meng blushed and rolled around in bed in embarrassment.
"It's so annoying! It's all Zhou Yu's fault!" Qiao Meng angrily crawled out of the quilt, with only the upper half of her face showing.
God have mercy on her. Qiao Meng hid in her quilt for a long time, struggling with the dilemma. Finally, with a blushing face, she edited the text message and sent it to Zhou Yu.
There is really no other way. If she doesn't break this layer of window paper first, God knows whether she can be single before she turns 30!
......
When Zhou Yu saw this text message, he was completely stunned.
How to describe this state? It's very simple. Imagine that you just bought a lottery ticket, and when the prize is drawn in the evening, you suddenly find that you have won the first prize.
This is how Zhou Yu feels now.
I was confused, but after the confusion came ecstasy.
How could I, an ordinary college student who has not yet secured a job, have such a good thing happen to me? !
Zhou Yu just hasn’t been in a relationship and his love history is blank, but he’s not stupid. How can he not see what Qiao Meng’s text message is trying to express?
With trembling hands, he dialed the number he was chatting with. The phone rang only once before being picked up.
"Hello~"
The voice on the phone was as lively and gentle as ever.
Listening to the familiar and pleasant voice on the phone, Zhou Yu wanted to speak, but it was as if someone was blocking his throat. No matter how hard he tried, he seemed to have lost his voice and could not speak at all.
"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm hanging up!" Qiao Meng on the other end of the phone scolded.
Zhou Yu opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Qiao, Qiao Meng." As soon as the hoarse voice came out, even he was startled.
Zhou Yu quickly cleared his throat, "Ahem... Ahem... Qiao Meng, I, you, what did you mean by that sentence in your text message just now?"
"Great, Zhou Yu!" As soon as he said this, Zhou Yu's mind immediately flashed with the girl on the phone, her hands on her hips and her brows furrowed, "You really want a girl like me to speak first!"
Zhou Yu quickly explained, "I, no, I'm not, I didn't!"
Forcing himself to calm down, Zhou Yu slowly spoke, "I just feel like I'm in a dream. This dream is too unreal and too beautiful. I'm afraid I'll wake up soon!"
"Hehe, you are in a dream!"
"Ah?" Zhou Yu was confused.
"I was kidding you, idiot!" the person on the other end of the line cursed softly, "Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm hanging up!"
The hint was very clear. If Zhou Yu didn't take the initiative, he would deserve to be alone for the rest of his life.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Zhou Yu said quickly, "Don't hang up! You must not hang up!"
Zhou Yu encouraged himself secretly in his heart, and finally mustered up the courage to say to the phone, "Qiao Meng, I have never been in a relationship, so I don't know how to say sweet words."
"Once upon a time, I imagined that the most beautiful picture I could think of was that the first thing I saw when I woke up and opened my eyes every morning was you; and the last thing I saw before going to bed every night was also you."
"I want to hold your hand and walk with you through autumn, winter, spring and summer, from your youth to your gray hair."
"I... I have a lot more to say, but it seems like it's not enough no matter what I say. My mind is a little confused now, and I don't know what I'm talking about. Me, you, Qiao Meng, can you be my girlfriend?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, without any sound at all, which made Zhou Yu feel a little nervous.
What's going on? Why no response for so long?!
Just when Zhou Yu started to panic, a chuckle finally came from the other end of the phone.
"Puff"
"Yeah... OK~"
......
If you don't like the romance, just skip it.
Two chapters with over 6,000 words, that can be considered an indirect update, right?
