Chapter 51
The wedding will take place in May, which is four months away.
Originally, Leng's mother had planned to pick a date in February for their engagement, but after some discussion, Li's father decided that since the wedding was imminent, an engagement wasn't necessary. After all, planning the details of a wedding would be a hassle. However, they also consulted Li Qingzhu and Leng Qingxiu, and after their agreement, they canceled the engagement.
After the Spring Festival, school started again soon. Xu Li, who was teaching the first grade, had to go back to school at the end of February, while Li Qingzhu moved in with Leng Qingxiu.
"I'm going to live alone, and I'm really not used to it." Xu Li took Li Qingzhu's arm and leaned on her shoulder affectionately.
"Okay, I'll go see you when I have time. It's not that far away." Li Qingzhu pinched Xu Li's face and said with a smile.
"I was the one who met you first, yet you're going to spend the rest of your life with another man." Xu Li said this jokingly, but she felt very lonely inside. Even if Li Qingzhu and Leng Qingxiu's marriage was fake, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking of this, Xu Li's eyes blurred.
They had known each other since childhood and had been together from primary school to university. They had also lived together after graduation. Now that they were separating, they suddenly felt a little sad.
"Then you must be happy, joyful, and blessed. No matter what happens, if you are sad, come back to me, I am always here." Li Qingzhu had a very depressing period in her senior year of high school. Xu Li was not by her side, which made Xu Li feel very guilty.
She had originally chosen to take the art exam, as Xu Li thought becoming a painter would be quite interesting. However, that was a whim. After a few months of studying, she decided it wasn't right for her and stopped. It was already the first semester of her senior year, and when filling out her application, Xu Li chose the general entrance exam. Because she had previously focused on painting, her academic performance had become somewhat rusty. In the days leading up to the exam, Xu Li focused on her studies and didn't visit Li Qingzhu often.
Li Qingzhu knew Xu Li was pressed for time, so she didn't tell her about it, fearing her bad mood would affect her. But she desperately wanted to vent all that repressed emotion, so she chose to find someone online to talk to. No one knew her, so she could vent more easily.
Leng Qingxiu, who was standing by the car, looked at the two people who were reluctant to leave and waited patiently for them to finish speaking.
"I'll come to see you next Saturday, and we'll go shopping, eat, and watch a movie together." Li Qingzhu hugged Xu Li tightly.
"Okay. We have plenty of time. Well, go ahead. He's been waiting for a while."
Xu Li waved at Li Qingzhu and put on a relaxed smile.
After Li Qingzhu got in the car, Leng Qingxiu started the car.
"It seems that your friends don't want you to get married." Leng Qingxiu looked at the road ahead and spoke to Li Qingzhu naturally.
"We have known each other for a long time." Li Qingzhu looked at the road ahead and thought of the past between him and Xu Li. They were all beautiful memories and sincere feelings.
Leng Qingxiu nodded, "That's right."
"Actually, we don't have to live together so soon." After all, it was fake. Because Li's mother and Leng's mother felt that since they had both obtained their marriage, living together earlier or later would make no difference, so Li Qingzhu moved out.
Leng Qingxiu was a man with a wealth of experience, and also one with a wealth of experience in the love field. He was not a simple boy, so it would be difficult to impress him. Now that they had moved in together, they saw each other every day. She didn't believe that there wouldn't be some sparks between them.
"Why, you can't bear to leave your friend?" Leng Qingxiu smiled. He happened to be waiting for the traffic light. He turned his head and glanced at Li Qingzhu.
"A little bit," Li Qingzhu said truthfully. Living with Xu Li these days was indeed quite enjoyable.
"You're not crying, are you? I don't have a handkerchief in my pocket to wipe your tears." After saying that, he pretended to take out a handkerchief.
Leng Qingxiu's coat had no pockets, so his action was a bit deliberate and a little funny.
He didn't know why he wanted to tease her, but he felt that it was because of him that they separated. When Li Qingzhu got in the car just now, he thought she might be in a bad mood, so he did this.
"I didn't cry." Li Qingzhu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She could tell that Leng Qingxiu was trying to comfort her.
"It's good that you didn't cry. If you did, I would have to comfort you. Tsk, that would be so frustrating." The words were heartbreaking, but the tone was gentle. Li Qingzhu inexplicably heard a sense of doting.
About an hour later, Leng Qingxiu pulled into a residential complex. Li Qingzhu looked at the buildings, which resembled the style of early European and American castles. The entire complex consisted of single-family villas, not arranged neatly like in other residential complexes. Instead, the layout seemed random, yet the overall aesthetic remained aesthetically pleasing.
As soon as the car stopped, Li Qingzhu unbuckled his seat belt and went to get the gifts with Leng Qingxiu.
"The password here is 820161. But you don't have to remember it if you can't. Just record your fingerprint." Leng Qingxiu lifted the suitcase and walked up the long stairs in one breath.
Li Qingzhu knew that she didn't have the strength to lift another suitcase and walk up so many stairs, so she took the light things and followed.
"The master and mistress are here." Aunt Zhao heard the sound of the door opening and hurriedly took the things from Li Qingzhu's hand.
"I'll help Madam take her things to the room first." Aunt Zhao learned from Leng Qingxiu last night that Li Qingzhu was moving in today.
After Leng Qingxiu lifted up one suitcase, he lifted up another.
Li Qingzhu looked at Leng Qingxiu, who was holding her suitcase with a calm expression. She stood at the door looking at him, and smiled on her pretty face, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Leng!"
Leng Qingxiu saw Li Qingzhu leaning against the door waiting for him, and he felt a little like he was married.
"This scene makes me want to kiss you." Leng Qingxiu said jokingly while still holding the handle of the suitcase.
Li Qingzhu raised an eyebrow, her smile growing more pronounced. Without moving, she replied, "You wish." She blew a kiss as she spoke. "It's just my hard work pay."
"Heh." Leng Qingxiu watched Li Qingzhu blow him a kiss and leave, and a light laugh came out of his mouth.
Seeing Li Qingzhu's frank actions, Leng Qingxiu was confused. He shook his head and walked into the house.
Leng Qingxiu took the suitcase to the upstairs room and left. Something happened at the company, so Leng Qingxiu had to spend the entire morning to pick her up, which was the maximum he could do. He might have done it for Leng's mother's sake.
After Leng Qingxiu left, Li Qingzhu packed her things in her room. The room was large, with a large cloakroom that was empty, as if it had been specially packed for her.
There are several oil paintings hanging on the wall, all of which are landscape paintings.
There was also a brand new dressing table, which Li Qingzhu was very satisfied with. Leng Qingxiu had at least made good arrangements for her life.
Li Qingzhu walked around the room, then casually looked at the layout of the entire house. At this time, she was in a different mood.

After Li Qingzhu moved out, Xu Li looked at the empty house and felt bored, so she decided to go out for a walk.
Passing by a flower shop, Xu Li stopped and took a look inside. Seeing the bright red roses, Xu Li felt much better and bought a few, planning to put them in the living room.
Xu Li was about to pay and leave when a young man came into the flower shop with a little girl.
"Hello, welcome!" The florist's eyes lit up when she saw the young man. But then she thought, maybe he already has a girlfriend. Or, she glanced at the little girl and sighed, maybe the handsome guy is already married.
"I want to buy my sister's flower for my mother!" The little girl pointed at the rose in Xu Li's hand and pouted.
"That flower is very beautiful. Mom will definitely like it." The little girl looked up at Jiang Huizhou, her eyes full of longing.
Following his niece's voice, Jiang Huizhou looked at Xu Li who had already reached the door, and his pupils naturally dilated.
She wore a yellow long skirt, a white sweater and a white scarf. She tied her hair into a bun, which made her look cute, but also elegant and intellectual.
He didn't see how beautiful the roses were, but the person he saw was very beautiful.
"Uncle, I also want to buy that red flower for my mother." Seeing that her uncle did not respond to her, the little girl thought he did not hear her, so she said it again.
"Okay. Buy some red roses for Mom." Jiang Huizhou held his niece's hand tightly and said to the boss, "Hello, could you please give me a small bouquet of red roses?"
