Volume 1 Chapter 167 Extra: Become a better self first
The next afternoon, Du Ruo woke up alone in bed. She sat up with aches all over her body and looked around, only to see the house in a mess.
The sheets piled on the sofa, the underwear beads scattered on the ground, and the plastic bags in the trash can, they had rarely been so indulgent.
Tsk, the laws of love are indeed true.
She was in a daze when Xu Jingmo pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that she was awake, he walked over and gently rubbed her head. "Dinner is ready. I was just about to call you."
Du Ruo put her arms around his waist and rubbed his abdominal muscles lazily. Xu Jingmo gently pinched her shoulders to help her wake up.
Du Ruo suddenly remembered something, turned around and lifted the pillow to look for it, and asked, "Did you see what I put under the pillow when you changed the sheets?"
Xu Jingmo shook his left hand and chuckled, "Gift? I received it."
Only then did Du Ruo notice that he had already put on the gift that he had not given away.
A black leather bracelet with a gold lucky bead on it, and a black diamond inlaid on the bead, which is low-key and luxurious, shining brightly.
Xu Jingmo's wrist has distinct joints, strong and smooth lines with faint blue veins. The black leather rope forms a sharp contrast with his cold white skin, further highlighting the brilliance of the black diamond.
Du Ruo held his hand and admired it for a while, then curled her eyes in satisfaction and said proudly, "I have a good eye."
The bracelet looks good, and the hands look even better.
"That's still worse than me. No one has as good vision as me to find such a big treasure." Xu Jingmo responded with a smile, picked her up from the bed with skillful movements, and carried her to the bathroom to wash up.
Du Ruo stepped on his feet, enjoying his service with peace of mind, as if this was an unspoken understanding between the two of them. If she got tired, he would have to pay more.
After washing up, Xu Jingmo gently held her in one arm, held her slippers in the other hand, and walked downstairs steadily.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Du Ruo's laziness had not yet worn off. He propped up his chin and said, "Help me get a blue folder on the table in the study."
Xu Jingmo was serving her food and asked in confusion, "You're still reading documents while eating?"
Du Ruo hummed and urged, "I need it now, go quickly~"
Xu Jingmo went to get it obediently without opening it. When he came back, he handed it to her directly. He sat opposite her and was about to eat when he saw Du Ruo suddenly pull out a few sheets of paper from her folder, handed them to him and said excitedly, "Ding ding, the third gift, please check it!"
Xu Jingmo put down his chopsticks, took it curiously, took a look, and looked up at her in surprise.
Du Ruo held her face in her hands and said happily, "I've checked. The best teachers for your major are currently at Harvard. MIT and Stanford are also good. My suggestion is that you choose one of these three schools. Here are some tutor introductions that I asked someone to consult for you. You can take a look at which subject you are mainly interested in. Once you are sure, I will write a letter of introduction for you."
Xu Jingmo's mood at this moment was indescribable. He knew that Du Ruo was very busy recently, so he didn't think of disturbing her, let alone relying on her to do something. With his current resume, he would be more than qualified to apply to any school.
But he didn't expect that Du Ruo, despite being very busy, still took his affairs to heart, did so many investigations behind his back, and planned to use his connections to provide him with the most convenient help.
He asked blankly, "You want me to study abroad?"
Du Ruo tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "Don't you want to?"
Xu Jingmo said casually: "Aren't you in the country now?"
Du Ruo glanced at him helplessly, and couldn't help but stretched out his foot under the table to kick him lightly, and cursed: "Dead love brain."
Xu Jingmo wrapped his legs around her feet, smiled and put the documents aside, looked at her and said, "I saw that you were busy recently and I was not in a hurry to decide on a school, so I didn't think of telling you. Now that you are resting, let's talk about my admission to graduate school. Do you really want me to study abroad?"
Du Ruo nodded and replied seriously: "You don't need to consider whether I want you to study abroad. I am just giving you a suggestion. Since you have decided to pursue independent entrepreneurship in the future, the level of knowledge you are exposed to now is definitely not enough. Moreover, the most advanced technology and resources in this industry are currently abroad, so studying abroad is the right choice for you."
Xu Jingmo: "That's true, but I'm not you, a genius who can easily skip grades. If I go abroad for graduate school, we'll have to start a long-distance relationship again, at least for 1 or 2 years. Don't you miss me?"
Du Ruo: "Of course I will miss you, but it's not like we haven't been through this before, it's just a long-distance relationship. We've had this experience before, so what are we afraid of? Don't worry, if you're imprisoned, I'll definitely save you. Besides, even Baidu Encyclopedia knows that you're mine, and your belongings are all with me, so why would I be afraid that you'd run away?"
She said it lightly, as if she didn't take the separation between them seriously at all.
But unexpectedly, Xu Jingmo no longer had the reluctance and uneasiness he had felt before. They had been through so much together, and it seemed like a mere long-distance relationship was not a big deal.
He needs to become a better person first before he can love her better. There is still a long way to go for them in the future.
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't make a decision for a long time because he was afraid that she would think he didn't love her as much as before.
But she is Du Ruo...Du Ruo is the one who can only make people become better and better. She would not do such a thing as affecting her future for the sake of momentary greed.
Xu Jingmo couldn't help but stand up, walked to her side, put her on his lap, hugged her tightly, and chuckled: "I don't have such a high talent to attract the attention of the Federal Bureau. I'm just an ordinary international student. I'm a poor boy now, relying on you, a rich woman, to support me. It's impossible for me to run away. The whole world is your spy. I'm just afraid that you will be bored when I'm not by your side."
Du Ruo hugged him back, leaned lightly on his shoulder, reached out to unbutton a few of his pajamas, stroked the tattoo on his chest and said, "I'm not afraid of being bored, because I know our hearts are very close. Xu Jingmo, just go and become a better person. This time it's my turn to wait for you. I will wait for you obediently at home."
"Okay, I'll think about it seriously. Let's eat first." Xu Jingmo kissed her forehead lightly, responded, and didn't say anything else.
Du Ruo just thought that he needed time to consider and did not urge him to make a decision.
It was not until before going to bed at night that Du Ruo realized that he had already considered it in his mind. He only thought about it for a few hours and chose the school and tutor. He also expressed his gratitude to her with his actions.
"Thank you for the gift, Ruobao. I decided to spend the next few months with you before I go abroad."
What a bullshit rest day, it’s more tiring than working.
