Wang Yueming and Li Ruyue walked out of the restaurant. Li Ruyue followed Wang Yueming towards his motorcycle. After getting on, Wang Yueming suddenly asked, "Are you cold?" Li Ruyue shook her head, "No." Wang Yueming replied, "...Okay." He put on his helmet and started the engine. The motorcycle sped through the streets and quickly arrived at Li Ruyue's home.
Wang Yueming stopped the bike, and Li Ruyue got off. She said to him, "I'm going up now. Be careful on your way back." Wang Yueming responded, "...Okay." Li Ruyue turned to leave. As she entered the hallway and was about to go upstairs, she suddenly heard Wang Yueming call her name—"Li Ruyue."
Li Ruyue paused and looked back at him. Wang Yueming stood in place, watching her with deep eyes. Li Ruyue asked, "...What is it?" After a moment of silence, Wang Yueming said, "It's nothing." Li Ruyue replied, "..." She was speechless, "Then why did you call me?"
Wang Yueming remained silent for a long time before saying, "I miss you." Li Ruyue's face flushed, and she fell silent. Wang Yueming looked at her and suddenly asked, "Don't you miss me?" Li Ruyue's heart raced as she felt flustered. Wang Yueming stared at her with intense eyes, "Do you miss me?"
Li Ruyue: "......"
She didn't dare to look into his eyes, lowering her head and softly replying, "...... I miss you."
Her voice was very quiet, but Wang Yueming heard it.
He slightly curled the corners of his lips, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
He gently said, "I miss you too."
Li Ruyue: "......"
Her face turned even redder, her heart racing so fast it felt like it would leap out of her chest.
She couldn't bear to stay another second, turning around and running upstairs.
Wang Yueming stood downstairs, watching her figure disappear into the staircase, the smile in his eyes deepening gradually.
After that night, Li Ruyue never saw Wang Yueming again.
He still called her every day, but their conversations became fewer and fewer.
Sometimes, they couldn't even finish ten sentences.
Li Ruyue didn't know why, but she always felt an emptiness in her heart.
She really wanted to ask Wang Yueming what they should do in the future.
But she didn't dare.
She was afraid of hearing Wang Yueming's rejection.
Two weeks passed like this, and one day during a break, Zhang Kai suddenly said to Li Ruyue, "I'm treating you to dinner tomorrow night; you and your uncle and aunt must come."
Li Ruyue was taken aback: "Why are you suddenly inviting us to dinner?"
Zhang Kai blinked: "I have good news to tell you all."
Li Ruyue: "...... What good news?"
Zhang Kai said mysteriously, "It's a secret for now."
Li Ruyue: "......"
She was speechless: "Still being mysterious?"
Zhang Kai smiled: "Gotta keep the suspense."
Li Ruyue: "......"
She couldn't be bothered to ask further; she would find out tomorrow anyway.
That evening, Li Ruyue went to the restaurant with her parents as planned. Upon arriving, she noticed that Wang Yueming was also there.
She was a bit surprised and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Wang Yueming looked at her and replied, "Zhang Kai invited me."
Li Ruyue responded, "...oh." She thought to herself that Zhang Kai and Wang Yueming had a good relationship, even inviting him to this family gathering.
The four of them sat around the table and began ordering dishes. After placing their orders, Zhang Kai raised his glass and said to Father Li and Mother Li, "Uncle and Auntie, let me toast you first."
Father Li and Mother Li lifted their glasses and clinked them with his. After finishing their drinks, Mother Li eagerly asked, "Xiao Zhang, can you finally tell us what the good news is?"
Zhang Kai smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that the project Wang Yueming and I have been working on has received investment. We might be busy for a while, so I wanted to say goodbye in advance."
Father Li was taken aback and asked, "Are you leaving Jiangcheng?"
Zhang Kai shook his head, "Not really. We'll just be traveling frequently for work and might not be reachable sometimes."
Father Li replied, "Oh, that's good then."
Mother Li chimed in happily, "Congratulations! You finally achieved something."
Wang Yueming and Zhang Kai raised their glasses together and said, "Thank you, Uncle and Auntie." They clinked their glasses again and continued eating.
Halfway through the meal, Wang Yueming's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up to take a look and said to Zhang Kai, "I need to step out to take a call."
Zhang Kai replied, "Okay."
Wang Yueming stood up and left the private room. After a while, he returned and told Zhang Kai, "I have to go meet an investor tonight; I need to leave now."
