After helping Dong Yike finish distributing the clothes, Yu Mobai received a call from Ji Mushu.
The two agreed to meet in a quiet grove of trees near the playground.
When he saw Ji Mushu, his eyes lit up.
Ji Mushu put her hair up again, which she hadn't done in a long time, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
She stood gracefully at the corner.
This made Yu Mobai very excited. He stepped forward and rubbed her head with his hand. "Wooden comb, why is your hair up?"
"If you don't like it, I can put it down."
Ji Mushu glanced at him and reached out to untie the leather strap.
"Don't."
Yu Mobai immediately grabbed her hand and chuckled dryly, "Beautiful, beautiful."
"What's so interesting about it?" Ji Mushu asked.
“You’re beautiful,” Yu Mobai replied immediately.
"Glib-tongued".
Ji Mushu gave a soft hum, but her eyes held a clear smile.
The students are mostly waiting on the playground to watch the excitement, while the nearby grove is deserted.
The bench for lovers is surrounded by lush foliage, but it is covered with a layer of dust due to years of dusting.
Yu Mobai smiled and blew the leaves off the stool. He planned to use the sports meet as an opportunity to ease the tension between himself and Ji Mushu.
After all, the two of them hadn't seen each other for several months.
Gently holding her slightly cold little hand, Ji Mushu did not refuse.
She sat in the chair, head down, seemingly lost in thought, her toes rustling the leaves on the ground.
Yu Mobai lifted her hair and tossed it to the other side so he could see Ji Mushu's face clearly.
He needed to clearly see Ji Mushu's expression before he could say anything next.
"You're not leaving again this time, are you?"
Ji Mushu merely raised her head slightly to glance at him, nodded her rounded chin, and then shook it.
"Um?"
Yu Mobai didn't understand what she meant.
"I don't know yet."
Ji Mushu said softly.
"What's there to think about?"
Yu Mobai became anxious upon hearing this. Hadn't they been chatting happily yesterday? Why did he suddenly change his mind today?
"Didn't I say yesterday that I would take you back to see that rapeseed field?"
"Also, Uncle Ji misses you too and wants to go back to the small county town to visit you."
"There are so many more stars in the abandoned train station than in North River City."
Ji Mushu smiled slightly, she had never seen Yu Mobai so anxious before.
My heart immediately felt warm.
However, we cannot forgive him so easily.
"oh."
Ji Mushu simply replied, "We'll see."
"What's there to say?"
Yu Mobai pulled her into his arms and said domineeringly, "We're not going back. I'll talk to Lü Changbin."
"Does your family own the school?"
Ji Mushu wrinkled her little nose and broke free from his embrace, "I said I wouldn't go, and I won't go."
Yu Mobai gave a dry laugh, "I'm just in a hurry."
"I've never seen you in such a hurry before."
Ji Mushu pouted, "You were completely unmoved when I confessed my feelings to you."
"I was too young then and didn't know how to cherish it."
Yu Mobai said with a sigh, "Now that I have this chance again, I think I will add another year to our relationship."
"The time limit is ten thousand years?"
Ji Mushu said with a tense expression, "Can you tell me something I don't know?"
"Um, let me think about it."
Yu Mobai pretended to think for a moment, but unfortunately, he lacked sufficient knowledge and could only come up with that one sentence.
"I hope to find someone like you, like a refreshing breeze in the mountains, like the warm light of an ancient city, from morning till night, from the wilderness to the study, as long as it's you in the end."
Are you planning to say that to me for the rest of your life?
Ji Mushu turned her head away in dissatisfaction, muttering under her breath, "You don't even know how to find some other sweet nothings."
"Forehead..."
Yu Mobai chuckled dryly, "I'll remember a few more sentences next time."
"snort."
Ji Mushu shook her head too hard, and her hair, which was tied up, came loose from the top of her head like a bouncy ball, instantly turning into long, flowing hair.
Yu Mobai bent down to pick up the hair tie from the ground, and started smoothing his hair from the roots, twisting it into a messy ball on his head.
"You're so annoying."
Ji Mushu gave a coquettish laugh and then tidied her hair again.
Yu Mobai couldn't help but sigh, thank goodness he wasn't a girl, otherwise this would have been too troublesome.
Just as the two of them fell silent, Qi Moliang suddenly appeared from the side.
"Brother Liang, what brings you here?"
Yu Mobai was somewhat surprised to see Qi Moliang; shouldn't he be at the company?
"I'm already a senior in college."
Qi Moliang scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look, "I figured this was the last sports meet, so I just wanted to come back and join in the fun."
"Is he coming back to reminisce about his youth?"
Yu Mobai said with a smile, "Brother Liang, which girl was your youth?"
"I've dedicated my youth to computer keyboards."
Qi Moliang gave a wry smile, "I don't know what happened. Why didn't I think about dating back then? Now that I'm about to graduate, I suddenly want to."
