"Of course, Wu has bigger ambitions, right, Wu?"
"Of course, it would be better for me to study abroad in my field."
"Then I wish you a safe journey, Wu. I'll toast you with tea instead of wine," Liu Qingmeng said, raising her teacup.
Wu Luoxi chuckled and glanced at Wang Xinghe. "Then I wish you both all the best. If you get married, my old classmate must send me a message. I will attend your wedding."
"Of course, we'll always be fine. Xinghe said he'll marry me after graduation."
"Ah? Ah, yes, we'll always be fine. I also salute you, Luo Xi, and wish you success in your studies!"
"Alright, then I'll take your good wishes."
Halfway through the meal, Wu Luoxi put down her chopsticks.
"Qingmeng, can I borrow your boyfriend for a few minutes?"
"Of course, Luo Xi, I'm not that petty. Go ahead, you two probably still have a lot to say."
"No, it's just that there are some things I want to say to Xinghe alone."
"light."
Liu Qingmeng clenched her fists under the table.
"Hey old classmate, come out with me for a bit."
Wang Xinghe glanced at Liu Qingmeng, then nodded.
Once outside, Wu Luoxi didn't say anything, but just kept walking forward.
"Luo Xi, where are we going?"
"What? Are you afraid I'll sell you off?"
"It's not that bad, it's just that we've gone too far, is that not a good idea?"
Wu Luoxi chuckled softly, but her eyes held a hint of sadness.
"Okay, let's do it here. How's this location? It's a large terrace with a view of Kyoto's bustling cityscape."
"Speak, what do you want with us?"
Wu Luoxi turned to look at Wang Xinghe, then threw herself into his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Wang Xinghe held his hands up.
"Luo Xi, let go of me quickly."
"What? You won't even let me hug you? This might be the only time in my life."
"There's no need to make it sound so sad."
"What? You think your school beauty Liu would have let us come out alone if it weren't for today?"
Wu Luoxi left Wang Xinghe's embrace, turned around, and said in a deliberately nonchalant manner.
"Why did you suddenly decide to go abroad?"
"Didn't I say that my major is better suited for studying abroad?"
"Is that all?"
"Otherwise what? What do you think?"
"Alright then, is there anything else?"
"No, let's go back. Otherwise, your school beauty Liu will get jealous, and someone will suffer when we get back."
"Who said that? She listens to me."
"Tch! You two are henpecked, you better behave yourselves, you hear? If she finds out you've broken up, I'll regret it!"
"Regret what?"
"Hey, are you a walking encyclopedia of questions? Hurry up and get out of here!"
"Alright, let's go back."
Wu Luoxi looked at Wang Xinghe in front of her and sighed, "Of course I regret going abroad. The main reason I went abroad was you! Goodbye to the boy who amazed me when I was eighteen."
She had prepared a lot to say, but swallowed it back down. Saying these words in her heart was as good as saying them to you face to face.
Best wishes, Xinghe.
"What are you doing, just standing there like an idiot?"
"I'm not going back. I've finished eating. You go back and eat with your girlfriend. I have things to do and a lot of things to pack. I need to go home and tidy up!"
"There's no rush."
"No, it's urgent. You should go back now. Goodbye!"
Does this goodbye mean never seeing each other again? Why does my heart ache so much?
"Okay then, bye-bye, drive carefully."
Wu Luoxi smiled and waved to Wang Xinghe, but the moment she turned around, her eyes welled up with tears. She ran to the bathroom in a disheveled state and started splashing cold water on her face repeatedly, ruining the exquisite makeup she had specially put on today.
"Hey, what are you feeling sad about? Are you still afraid of parting? Maybe being friends with someone you'll never see again is the best solution," Wang Xinghe said with a sigh.
"Oh, so your old flame is back from his rendezvous."
"Mengmeng, what are you saying? We're just friends."
"What kind of decent friend would specially invite you to dinner before going abroad? And then go out alone for such a long talk? Tell me, what did you talk about?"
"It's nothing, just some words of blessing. Luo Xi is gone, let's continue eating."
Seemingly noticing that Wang Xinghe was feeling down, Liu Qingmeng stopped joking and moved closer to him, taking his arm in her hand.
"Luo Xi is a good girl."
"ah?"
"What?! You think I'm that petty? I was just joking. She was open about what she liked and decisive about what she left. I admire her character."
"It's rare to see Mengmeng praising someone."
"Tch! What are you saying! Wait a minute, why do you smell of perfume?"
Liu Qingmeng sniffed Wang Xinghe's body.
"Hurry up and eat, Mengmeng. I noticed you didn't eat much. It's such a waste to have so much food on the table."
"Don't try to evade my question. Tell me now, what did you just do?" Liu Qingmeng asked, grabbing Wang Xinghe's ear.
"Mengmeng, Mengmeng, please let go first, okay?"
"No! Are you going to tell me or not?"
"It's nothing, she was leaving, right? So, they had a farewell hug, which was a way of wishing each other well."
"Oh, a farewell hug, huh!" Liu Qingmeng said, letting go of Wang Xinghe's ear and crossing her arms.
"It's nothing, just a light hug as a blessing. I can swear if you don't believe me."
"No, let's continue eating."
"Mengmeng, are you full?"
I'm full.
"I don't see you've eaten much, are you lying to me?"
"I'm not lying to you, I'm so angry I'm full."
"Oh, don't be jealous, you little jealous devil. I'll let you bring him back, okay?"
Wang Xinghe tried to hug Liu Qingmeng, but Liu Qingmeng dodged him.
"Don't hug me, I don't want to hug you, come with me!"
Liu Qingmeng stood up, grabbed Wang Xinghe, and walked out.
What are we going to do?
"Just follow me."
Liu Qingmeng pulled Wang Xinghe to the shopping mall next to the hotel.
"Sales assistant, please help him choose an outfit, thank you."
"Okay, miss and sir, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."
"Seriously? You're here to take me shopping for clothes?"
"Yes, is that not allowed?"
"I have clothes."
"Just wear it if I buy it for you. Stop talking nonsense and go try it on."
After Wang Xinghe finished trying on the clothes, he came out of the fitting room and Liu Qingmeng glanced at him.
"Swipe your card."
"Okay, ma'am, these three outfits total..."
"Okay, wrap up his original clothes."
"Okay, ma'am, please wait a moment."
"Let's go, this is the one."
"You've already paid."
"Otherwise what?"
"What about my old clothes?"
"I'll hold it for you."
