Wu Youyou felt the violent beating of Shi Zhan's heart in his chest, and she was instantly panicked. It turned out that Shi Zhan was just as nervous as she was.
When she looked up at him, she spoke softly.
"Shi Zhan, you can let go now!"
Shi Zhan then realized as if he had just woken up from a dream, and found that his arms were still tightly holding her.
So he coughed lightly, then pulled his arm back as if he'd been electrocuted, immediately turned and walked towards the door, leaving behind a remark...
"Get dressed, I'll be waiting for you outside!"
Seeing that Shi Zhan had already left, Wu Youyou slowly got out of bed.
Put on the prepared clothes as if you were wearing armor, then dry your hair and tie it up.
As Shi Zhan felt the cool breeze outside, the heat and excitement in his body gradually subsided like the tide.
Soon, Wu Youyou came out. Shi Zhan looked at her clothes, which added a touch of charm and made her look much more mature.
Wu Youyou felt a little shy under Shi Zhan's gaze, but since she was now dressed properly, which was much better than before, she said...
"Come on, take me home!"
When Shi Zhan took Wu Youyou back to the villa, it was noon. Liu Xiaolan knew that Shi Zhan would take Wu Youyou home at noon.
She rushed to the market early in the morning to buy a lot of vegetables and carefully prepared a sumptuous lunch, hoping that Wu Youyou would return.
The house was filled with distinguished guests, including Wu Maoyan, Wu Qifeng, Han Shuzhen, and Song Shaojie.
Looking at everyone and the table full of food, Wu Youyou was deeply moved.
At the dinner table, Liu Xiaolan kept putting food on Wu Youyou's plate, her eyes seemingly filled with a misty haze.
Wu Youyou knew that Liu Xiaolan was definitely overly worried. So she tried to comfort her.
"Little Lazy, I'm back safe and sound, so don't worry!"
“How could you be alright? You know, when Yang Min told me, I was almost scared to death. Look at you, you look haggard, and you even have a wound on your forehead. You must have suffered a lot.”
As Liu Xiaolan spoke, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.
Song Shaojie quickly handed over a tissue, then added,
"Youyou, you don't know, she was so worried she was almost going crazy. When she found out you were safe and sound, she was as happy as a child and dragged me to buy groceries first thing this morning."
Yang Min looked at her quietly, a faint smile on her face, without saying a word.
Seeing this, Wu Qifeng put some food into her bowl and said gently,
"You don't need to blame yourself, it's not your fault!"
Yang Min seemed unable to hold back any longer, and finally broke down in tears. This pampered young lady had never experienced anything like this before, watching helplessly as her best friend was kidnapped by thugs. She sobbed as she spoke.
"Youyou, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for letting those evil people kidnap you!"
Wu Youyou quickly put down her chopsticks, turned around, tightly grasped Yang Min's hand, gazed into her eyes, and solemnly said,
"Yang Min, thank goodness, they only captured me. That's the luckiest thing that ever happened to me. That's why you were able to notify Shi Zhan and the others to come and rescue me, wasn't it?" "But you were injured..."
Yang Min sobbed without saying a word.
Wu Youyou then added,
"You know what? When I was arrested, seeing those terrible conditions, I thought to myself, thank goodness you weren't arrested, otherwise, I would have been filled with guilt. Yang Min, you're so lucky. I'm already lucky enough to be alive. Can't you even smile?"
"Yes, please stop blaming yourself!"
Everyone echoed this sentiment.
Yang Min was relieved and a smile appeared on her face.
Wu Maoyan filled his glass with wine and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Shi Zhan.
"Shi Zhan, I am very grateful for your all-out help this time, which enabled us to successfully rescue my little sister. This cup is for you! Cheers!"
After saying that, Wu Maoyan drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp.
Shi Zhan readily agreed, raised his wine glass, and said to Wu Maoyan,
"Saving Youyou is what my heart desires, and it is something I must do, so there is no need for thanks!"
Everyone looked at Shi Zhan with admiration, knowing in their hearts that if it weren't for Shi Zhan this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
At this moment, Liu Xiaolan thought about going to school and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Youyou, we're starting school tomorrow. Military training will begin then, and I'm worried your body won't be able to handle it. Maybe you could ask for leave and go to school later!"
Wu Youyou was really looking forward to this military training. She couldn't possibly ask for leave, so she said with a smile...
"Don't worry, I'm really fine. I'll definitely participate in military training!"
Song Shaojie was somewhat curious.
"Youyou, this military training is no ordinary one. Look at the expectant look on your face."
Wu Youyou glanced at Shi Zhan, then smiled without saying a word.
This aroused Yang Min's suspicion, and she spoke up.
“I don’t go to the same school as you, so this military training has nothing to do with me. After school starts, I still need to discuss the schedule with the film crew. I won’t participate in the regular military training at my school, so I won’t have to endure that physical torment. But Youyou, Song Shaojie is right, why are you so looking forward to this military training?”
Wu Youyou smiled, remaining silent, only replying to Yang Min with one sentence.
"It's a secret; you'll find out when the time comes."
In the afternoon, Wu Youyou and everyone else packed their luggage together.
On the morning of the first day of school, the sun shone brightly on the earth.
Song Shaojie stood outside the villa early in the morning, like a steadfast lighthouse.
Just like when they first came to Kyoto, Wu Youyou and the others dragged their suitcases and walked towards him one by one.
As before, he carried their suitcases one by one into the trunk.
During the journey, Wu Youyou and the others were extremely excited, their hearts filled with anticipation, like a flock of birds about to spread their wings and take flight.
Yang Min, however, seemed a little reluctant to part, and she said softly,
"This summer vacation has been truly thrilling! You're all in the same school, so don't forget about me! Remember to come visit me later!"
Wu Youyou smiled broadly and said affectionately,
"How about we get together every weekend when everyone's not too busy?"
Liu Xiaolan thought this was a great idea, and happily said,
"That's great! Anyway, Yang Min's school is only two streets away from ours, so meeting her will be a piece of cake!"
"Yes, Yang Min, what are you afraid of? We live so close, it's not difficult to see each other every day, let alone once a weekend!"
Song Shaojie said with a grin as he drove.
Yang Min pouted instantly. She knew that the distance was not far and they could meet at any time, but she was really unhappy that she could not live in the same dormitory as Wu Youyou.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at Yang Min's school.
As she got out of the car, she said to Wu Youyou and Liu Xiaolan with a hint of resentment,
"I'm warning you, don't forget about me, your old roommate, just because you have a new one."
