Chapter 33 (End of Text) I miss you too, boyfriend.
When Meng Xi woke up the next day, Lu Yu was gone, and she was all alone.
She clearly remembered that she had been holding him the whole time...
Meng Xi looked down and saw that she was holding her teddy bear doll.
Lu Yu didn't want to wake her, and he didn't want her to worry, so he quietly left.
At this point, Meng Xi could only choose to believe him, believe that he could handle things well, and believe that he could come back.
Since Lu Yu left.
Aunt Xu left the Lu family to focus on her career, and Meng Xi became increasingly taciturn in the Lu family.
Days passed by, and she went to work part-time every morning and returned home in the evening, living a quiet and repetitive life.
Lu Yu flew to the United States alone. He seemed very busy there, only occasionally calling or messaging her to inquire about her situation.
Meng Xi could only detect the weariness in Lu Yu's voice during their few minutes of daily phone calls.
Summer has arrived quietly, and the results of the college entrance examinations have been released.
Late at night, Meng Xi and Song Siyu were lying in bed, chatting on WeChat and encouraging each other. Song Siyu sighed and said, "Xi Xi, I'm so nervous. What if I don't do well on the exam?"
Meng Xi turned over, and the cloud-shaped bedside lamp emitted a warm orange light.
He gently comforted her, "How could that be? Your grades have always been very stable; they won't be bad."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the chat box on WeChat and felt a little sad.
Lu Yu has not yet replied.
Considering the time difference, it should be broad daylight where he is, and he should be very busy right now.
It's normal not to reply.
It took Meng Xi almost half a month to finally confirm her own feelings.
She likes Lu Yu.
I like it whether you do well on the test or not.
In this bustling and noisy world, she liked Lu Yu the most.
At such an important moment in her life, she desperately wanted Lu Yu to be by her side, accompanying her.
On the empty space next to Meng Xi's bed was the new laptop that Aunt Xu had bought. She opened the page to check her grades.
Song Siyu said through the receiver, "3...2...1...! Xi Xi, refresh quickly!"
Meng Xi immediately pressed F5 on the keyboard to refresh the page, but the main page showed that it had crashed.
"Ah, I can't log in, the system crashed!" Song Siyu said in a distressed tone, "I won't be able to sleep tonight if I can't see my grades, sigh."
Meng Xi had just offered a few words of comfort when a call notification popped up on her phone; it was from Lu Yu.
She immediately hung up the WeChat voice call and answered the phone cautiously with a "hello".
"Meng Xi," Lu Yu called her softly. The voice on the other end sounded hollow and noisy. "I'm at the company. I just finished a meeting and came out to call you. Have the results come out yet?"
Hearing his voice, Meng Xi felt a warmth in her heart. She smiled and said gently, "The webpage is stuck here and can't be refreshed."
She paused, then asked, "How have you been over there lately? Is everything going well?"
Lu Yu on the other end seemed to be socializing with someone, his voice conveying a calm and familiar tone, completely unlike the image Meng Xi had of him before.
He said, "I'm fine. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be able to go back next month."
After saying this, Lu Yu moved from the floor-to-ceiling window of the office building to the sofa and chuckled softly: "Meng Xi, I've prepared a gift for you."
Huh?
Meng Xi was a little curious, "What gift? Is it to celebrate my grades? But I haven't even gotten my score yet..."
And it's midnight in China right now...?
Lu Yu said, "Yes."
It should be delivered in a little while.
After exchanging a few words, Lu Yu hung up in a hurry. Meng Xi knew he was busy, so she obediently didn't bother him anymore.
She looked at the crash page on her laptop and pressed F5 to refresh again.
Meng Xi looked at the message in the center of the page, was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while before covering her mouth and laughing.
A line of small print on the page reads: [Student scores will not be released at this time.]
Meng Xi's heart began to pound wildly.
With this line of text, it means she has entered the top 50 in the province!
Given this, her admission to Qingwu University is a foregone conclusion.
[Xi Xi, are you out yet?]
Song Siyu sent a voice message.
I got 689!
This is better than I expected! I can go to Qingwu University!
【Xi Xi?】
Meng Xi read through each message and replied with a smile: 【Great! We can be alumni again!】
My score is being kept confidential; I don't know the exact result yet.
Song Siyu typed quickly: 【Ahhhhh! Xi Xi, you're in the top 50!】
Meng Xi sent a smiley face and typed: 【Tonight was perfect, go to sleep early.】
I just mentioned that Lu Yu prepared a gift for me, and it will be delivered soon.
But back home, it's the early morning, so who would deliver a gift? Besides, this is the Lu family's residence.
She had just lain down when there was a knock on the door. "Miss Xi Xi, are you asleep?"
Meng Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately jumped out of bed to open the door.
It's so late, does anyone really bring a gift?
I opened the door, and there was a maid standing there.
She smiled and handed an envelope to Meng Xi.
Meng Xi opened it and saw a wine-red card inside, with intricate patterns and rose petals, and in the middle it said...
"Tomorrow night at nine o'clock."
In fact, Meng Xi had guessed what Lu Yu would give her.
Is it roses, clothes, or jewelry?
The gifts seem to be just these kinds of things.
But speaking of which, perhaps she should give Lu Yu a gift too?
Meng Xi said thank you, put the envelope away, and closed the door.
She took out her phone, opened Lu Yu's chat interface, and after thinking for a while, typed out each word carefully.
[Lu Yu.]
Let me give you a gift too.
Lu Yu had just finished his work when his phone on the table vibrated twice.
He leaned back in the chair behind him, picked up his phone, and swiped to turn on the screen.
The message read: "[Two unread messages from my 'potential girlfriend'.]"
He opened the message and guessed she had seen the envelope. His long, slender fingers tapped the screen a few times before replying: "[What gift?]"
Meng Xi's face flushed red, and she stammered, her hand trembling, "Didn't I tell you before that if I got into university, we'd be together openly and honestly?"
I passed the exam.
【real. 】
...
After typing those few words, Meng Xi's face was so hot that it felt like her hands were burning. She put down her phone and fanned herself with her hand to calm down for a while before picking it up again.
Lu Yu replied with just one sentence.
Don't say it.
I'll handle this myself.
Lu Yu stood up, loosened his tie, and strode out.
The assistant quickly walked over and asked, "Mr. Lu, what's going on?"
"Get back to China as soon as possible, ideally immediately."
He hesitated for a moment: "But what about President Lu..."
Lu Yu glared at him: "I'll explain."
He can't wait to see the girl he loves.
Right now.
The next day, Meng Xi slept very, very well.
She had a beautiful dream.
She dreamt that she was standing among blooming roses at dusk, and when she turned around, Lu Yu was right behind her.
She could feel his body temperature, touch him physically, and be with him forever.
Meng Xi sat up in bed and savored the dream for a moment before smiling gently.
Lu Yu will be back soon, which is a good omen, right?
She had never felt so relaxed and happy in the past few months.
It was as if all the unease, uncertainty, and hesitation that had weighed on her heart in the past had vanished into thin air.
She has the brightest tomorrow, and the best...
My fiancé.
Today is Meng Xi's day off. She doesn't have to go to work and can do whatever she wants all day.
Just after breakfast, a few people who were packing wardrobes arrived outside the Lu family's gate.
Meng Xi was a little puzzled and asked Uncle Gu in a gentle voice, "Uncle Gu, which room's wardrobe is broken and needs to be replaced?"
Uncle Gu looked at her with a loving smile: "Yours."
Meng Xi: ?
She watched helplessly as the group of people tidied up her room carefully for a long time, then moved in a huge and luxurious wardrobe, twice the size of her previous one.
Why would you want to use a changing room?
Before she could ask, Uncle Gu seemed to sense her confusion and said leisurely, "It was the young master's order. Perhaps—there's a problem."
After the renovation workers left and the maid cleaned her room, Meng Xi went in to look at her new wardrobe.
The clothes had been neatly arranged inside. Meng Xi stood in front of the wardrobe, with an envelope stuck in the center.
She opened it and saw a note that read: 【Get a bigger one, easier to hide next time—Lu Yu】
Meng Xi blushed the moment she saw it.
I remember the first time Lu Yu hid in my closet, he was still wearing my personal belongings.
So he bought a new wardrobe just in advance because he's coming back soon...?
Meng Xi opened the wardrobe door and thought about it seriously for a while.
She moved it around several times and finally cleared one side out.
This position should be enough for him...
As Meng Xi finished packing, she noticed an envelope on the table covered in rose petals.
She suddenly had a strong feeling that she wanted to go to the yard to see the roses.
It's as if Lu Yu could really come back.
Meng Xi hurriedly changed into a beautiful dress and walked all the way to the entrance of the Rose Courtyard. She looked up and saw...
A person walked towards us.
He wore a perfectly tailored black suit, his cool and sharp features were striking and assertive. He had an exceptionally handsome face, and his usually indifferent eyes held a burning passion for love.
Meng Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she almost thought she was seeing things.
It really is Lu Yu.
“Meng Xi.” Lu Yu walked towards her step by step against the backdrop of the twilight sunset.
He said, "I'm back."
Lu Yu's face showed signs of fatigue from long journeys, but his eyes shone with a captivating brilliance.
He smiled faintly, pulled Meng Xi into his arms, and said in a deep voice, "My girlfriend-to-be, aren't you going to officially make me your girlfriend today?"
Meng Xi blushed so deeply that her face looked like it was about to bleed. The guards around her and Uncle Gu, who was not far away, were all looking in her direction. Their close attention made her feel so shy that she had nowhere to escape.
She nestled in Lu Yu's arms, looked up at his handsome features, and, suppressing her shyness, nodded very seriously.
"Okay, I'll make you a permanent employee."
Lu Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled, then breathed intimately into her ear: "Is the wardrobe changed?"
Meng Xi nodded, but secretly pinched his firm, narrow waist: "You had this planned all along?"
Lu Yu laughed even more unrestrainedly, "Hey, girlfriend, it's fine if you don't let me hide it."
"We didn't sleep well last time anyway, so I'll sleep with you tonight, okay?"
He lowered his head and breathed warmly into her ear, his posture incredibly tender: "We won't do anything."
"real."
Lu Yu's voice became very soft, as if he had been suppressing it for a long time, filled with deep emotion: "Meng Xi, I miss you so much, I'm going crazy with longing."
Warm breath spread around her ear, and Meng Xi felt a pang of sadness.
It wasn't easy for them to get to this point, and there may be more difficulties and setbacks ahead.
But as long as he was there, she wasn't afraid.
Meng Xi quietly tiptoed to reach his lips, taking only a light, fleeting sip.
"I miss you too, boyfriend."
