Two months later, Li Ruyue was preparing to return to school for a repeat year. She didn't want to delay too long and decided to go back as soon as possible. Although Father Li and Mother Li were worried, they still supported her decision.
When Li Ruyue returned to Jiuzhong to register, she happened to run into Wang Yueming. After two years apart, they finally met again.
Wang Yueming looked at Li Ruyue, his eyes slightly red. He remained silent for a long time before saying, "I finally found you."
Li Ruyue was at a loss for words. She felt complicated emotions. She never expected Wang Yueming would search for her so desperately. She never thought there would be a day when they would meet again.
Li Ruyue didn't know what to say, and Wang Yueming also remained quiet. They stood in the corridor, facing each other in silence. After a while, Wang Yueming quietly said, "I like you."
Li Ruyue's heart raced, leaving her flustered.
Wang Yueming gathered his courage and pleaded, "Can you like me again, please?"
Li Ruyue looked at him, her eyes feeling teary. She didn't want to give up either. She didn't want to wait any longer.
Lowering her head, Li Ruyue softly replied, "...Okay."
After hearing his confession, Wang Yueming immediately responded to her feelings. He stepped forward and tightly held Li Ruyue's hand. "I like you," he said.
Li Ruyue's heart raced again, leaving her unsure of what to do.
Wang Yueming continued, "I wasn't good to you before; I didn't like talking to you... but from now on, I will work hard to change. I will treat you well, listen to you, and accompany you to many places."
Li Ruyue felt a mix of emotions.
Wang Yueming: "......"
He pleaded, "Can you give me a chance, please?"
Li Ruyue: "......"
She was silent for a moment before softly replying, "Okay."
Wang Yueming: "......"
He widened his eyes, looking at her in disbelief.
Li Ruyue looked up at him and smiled, saying, "I said okay."
Wang Yueming: "......"
He was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly pulling her into his arms.
Li Ruyue nestled against his chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat. Suddenly, she remembered that in the past days, she actually had many opportunities to tell him—
"Goodbye, Wang Yueming."
But she didn't.
She didn't want him to see the version of herself from that time, nor did she want him to pity her.
She chose silence.
Li Ruyue felt sorry.
Leaning against Wang Yueming's embrace, she whispered an apology, "I'm sorry..."
Wang Yueming: "......"
He smiled gently and said, "It's good that you haven't forgotten me; otherwise, I really would have forgotten you."
Li Ruyue: "......"
She lifted her head and shot him a glare.
Wang Yueming: "......"
He laughed and gently ruffled her hair, teasingly saying, "I was just joking."
Li Ruyue: "......"
She puffed out her cheeks, pretending to be angry.
Wang Yueming: "......"
He laughed and hugged her, coaxing, "Alright, alright, don't be mad anymore..."
Li Ruyue: "......"
She leaned against him and thought about the past two years, feeling as if she were dreaming.
She had truly waited for this day.
Li Ruyue looked up at Wang Yueming and softly asked, "How did you find me?"
Wang Yueming: "......"
He smiled and said, "Because I have telepathy."
Li Ruyue: "......"
She was taken aback for a moment but quickly reacted, blushing as she punched him lightly.
Wang Yueming: "......"
He gasped and said pitifully, "Why did you hit me?"
Li Ruyue: "……"
She glared at him and said irritably, "Serves you right!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked away.
Wang Yueming: "……"
He quickly caught up to her, holding her hand tightly and refusing to let go.
Li Ruyue: "……"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she whispered, "What are you doing? There are so many people..."
Wang Yueming: "……"
He looked around seriously and said, "Where are the people?"
Li Ruyue: "……"
She glanced around and realized there really was no one, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
Wang Yueming: "……"
He leaned closer to her ear and said with a mischievous smile, "Even if there were people, it wouldn't matter. I'm kissing my girlfriend; who would dare to object?"
Li Ruyue: "……"
Her face turned red as she stammered, "Who—who is your girlfriend..."
Wang Yueming: "……"
He raised an eyebrow and pretended to be surprised, saying, "You are."
Li Ruyue: "……"
Her face turned even redder.
Wang Yueming: "……"
He tightened his grip on her hand and smiled cheerfully, saying, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it; you've already agreed to be with me."
Li Ruyue: "……"
She couldn't argue with him and had to fall silent.
Wang Yueming: "……"
