The setting sun turned the veil of the sky red.

After watching Ji Chuan and He Ya leave arm in arm, Xia Ruoming chuckled.

"You guys are progressing really fast."

Then she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Ruomeng." That naturally cold voice came from behind.

"Miss Xu, what's the matter?"

Xia Ruoming's tone was quite helpless. She didn't know why Xu Fengwu kept pestering her recently. If she wanted to find someone to lick her, there were countless people in the school who would be happy to do so. She wouldn't be so uncomfortable just because she lost her.

"Let's go home together!" After saying this, Xu Fengwu directly took Xia Ruoming's arm with such a sweet smile on his face.

"We?" Xia Ruoming was just about to say that we live more than ten blocks away from each other, and you want to go home with me?

But after only half a second, the words were stuck in her throat because she remembered what she had said to Xu Fengwu when she was obsessed with him.

[Their homes are very close, so let her take Xu Fengwu's bag back.]

"Fengwu, our home..."

"I know you told me a beautiful lie, but I'm going to live at your house, so let's go back together." Before she could even finish her explanation, she was interrupted by Xu Fengwu. Xu Fengwu's eyes were flashing, and the expectation in his heart was completely written on his face.

(?_?)

Xia Ruoming was even more confused. Why did Xu Fengwu go to her house?

"No, Miss Xu, I don't think I agreed to let you visit my house, right?" Xia Ruoming spread her hands and made a deliberate expression of doubt.

"Aunt Liu agreed!" Xu Fengwu's eyes were full of stars and he looked confident of winning.

(??_??)

"Liu...my mother?" Xia Ruoming's tone was full of doubt, and there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

"Yes, it's Aunt Liu Ruoxue Liu."

“…”

Well, although I don’t know why, Xu Fengwu went to book her own home today, and it was obvious that she also knew where her home was. It didn’t seem realistic to get rid of her.

"Then you go first. I don't want to take the bus. Besides, I have to ride my bike back." After saying that, Xia Ruoming put on her backpack and was about to leave.

But Xu Fengwu still held her arm tightly, with no intention of letting go.

"Hey, just park the car here and we'll take a taxi back!"

Because he grabbed Xia Ruoming's sleeve, he almost pulled her coat off.

"No, I don't have any money."

"I'll pay for the taxi fare!" She pouted and looked at Xia Ruoming with a proud expression on her face.

“…”

Xia Ruoming fell silent again. She had indeed forgotten that the person in front of her seemed to be a wealthy woman. The taxi money was nothing to her.

Xu Fengwu didn't even give Xia Ruoming a chance to refuse again. He dragged Xia Ruoming to the back seat of the taxi. After telling the taxi driver to go to Rongcheng International, he also got on the back seat and leaned on Xia Ruoming's shoulder.

Xia Ruoming was also soft-hearted for a moment and was unable to push Xu Fengwu away.

"I say, Miss Xu, there are so many people who like you, and you pushed me away. Why are you chasing after me again? Isn't it good for us to live our own lives? Giving you musk pea flowers is also to tell you that we should both have a brand new beginning, right now, right here." Xia Ruoming combed Xu Fengwu's hair who was resting on her shoulder, and spoke to her softly.

"No... I don't want to live a separate life from you, I want you to come back to me. If you are unwilling to give me the same baby's breath as Teacher Xiao, then I will give it to you!" Perhaps it was because he had cried all his tears in the past two days, although Xu Fengwu's speech was still a little intermittent this time, he no longer cried as soon as he spoke like before.

"Heh... what's the point of returning to you?" Xia Ruoming laughed bitterly, "You said we are not from the same world. You are just not used to losing someone who protected you. We are destined not to go back, Xu Fengwu."

"Ruoming, I know that what I said that day hurt you deeply, and those words were not all my true thoughts..."

"At this point, there's no point in saying these things."

Xia Ruoming's tone was a little annoyed. She didn't know why. She had clearly been able to let go of Xu Fengwu before her rebirth, but Xu Fengwu's personality changed drastically after his rebirth, like a fishbone hooked in her throat, which she could neither swallow nor pull out.

"I know, Ruomeng. But I don't want to give up this last chance. I think it's not too late now."

When hearing this, Xia Ruoming subconsciously raised her eyebrows, thinking that Xu Fengwu would revert to his old ways and tell her that it was not too late to give her a chance to win her back.

"Ruoming, give me a chance. You've been chasing me for five years. This time, let me chase you for five years instead, okay?"

The faint light of the setting sun fell on Xia Ruoming's face through the car window, reflecting an unprecedented complex expression.

Confused, helpless, happy, sad, perhaps even Xia Ruoming herself didn't know what her emotions were at that moment.

She just turned her head and kept looking at the sky outside the window and never said another word along the way.

…

“Bang, bang, bang!”

After a brief knock on the door, Liu Ruoxue opened the door of her home, and Xia Ruoming and Xu Fengwu walked into the room.

"Mom, she said..."

"Oh, Xiao Xu's mother had something urgent to do and couldn't come home these few days. Xiao Xu left her keys at home and couldn't go back to live there. Her mother asked me if I could stay with her for a while, and I agreed. You two can sleep together. Anyway, when I bought your bed, it was originally a double bed, and the new quilt has been taken out for you, and it's on your bed."

"Of course, if you want to share a quilt with two people, Mom won't stop you."

Liu Ruoxue said casually while watching a food show on TV.

After hearing the explanation, Xia Ruoming just nodded quietly, neither expressing her agreement nor refuting Liu Ruoxue's opinion.

Xia Jingsong was working overtime today, so there were only three of them eating at the table.

"Ruoming, the hot and sour pig's feet made by Auntie are delicious, you should try it too."

"And this beef and egg custard, it's very tender and smooth. Ruoming, you've been studying so hard lately, eat more."

As Xu Fengwu spoke, he used chopsticks to pick up food for Xia Ruoming. She herself hadn't even taken a few bites.

"Xiao Xu, if you think it's delicious, eat more." Seeing Xu Fengwu who was picking up food for Xia Ruoming, Liu Ruoxue said to her with a smile, and then put a few more pieces of food into Xu Fengwu's bowl.

It was Xu Fengwu's attitude that made Xia Ruoming irritated. If it was the Xu Fengwu of the past, Xia Ruoming would not even have the slightest sympathy for her. But now, it was difficult for Xia Ruoming to say what her complicated emotions were and where they came from.

At this moment, she really wanted to walk down from the table, light a cigarette and calm down.

But Liu Ruoxue is at home now, so she doesn't dare to be so presumptuous.

It was clearly the family dinner time that Xia Ruoming enjoyed the most after her rebirth, but it was spent in an inexplicable atmosphere...
