Chapter 2012: Going
He looked at her with his dark eyes, his pink lips slightly pursed and his expression slightly awkward. “I don’t hate you. Don’t keep asking.”
Tang Wu smiled. “Then, can I kiss you again before I leave?”
His lips moved. “Okay…”
She pushed him against the door, stood on her toes, and pressed her lips against his.
Tang Wu returned to the hot spring villa and found Bo Cixue and Nan Xun.
Seeing that she was back, the two of them clicked their tongues and said, “Did you settle it?”
Tang Wu brushed her long hair away. “Who do you think I am? How could I not settle it?”
Looking at Tang Wu’s happy face, Bo Cixue and Nan Xun felt ashamed.
Tang Wu sighed. “Brother Lan is really a treasure. I haven’t seen such an innocent boy for a long time. Wouldn’t it be too sinful if I don’t take responsibility for flirting with him?”
Tang Wu knew that there would be no future between Lan Yue and her in the future. Lan Yue had to know it too. He did not ask her about the future and they both knew the difference between being interested and being together for a long time.
Nan Xun smiled. “What era are we in now? You don’t have to be so conservative. Besides, Brother Lan and Chu Li spent a few years together. After they broke up, he didn’t pester her. He’s more open-minded than you.”
Tang Wu nodded. “That’s true. He might have accepted me so quickly because he’s angry at Chu Li.”
Tang Wu did not think about the future. After all, Lan Yue was younger than her and had infinite possibilities in the future. Besides, from her experience with falling in love with Lin Xiurui, the passion had faded away after the two of them had been together for a long time, leaving only hate.
Both she and Lan Yue had experienced relationships that were not very pleasant. Once they started a new relationship, they should just indulge themselves in the present.
Tang Wu lay on the bed after showering and sent Lan Yue a message. “Good night.”
After Tang Wu left, Lan Yue went to Xiang Yingjie’s room and untied him.
Xiang Yingjie looked at Lan Yue angrily and fiercely.
He was an athlete but had been tied up by a woman.
If word got out, what would happen to his reputation?
And what made him the most angry was that Lan Yue knew Tang Wu and had even smashed his way into the room with a brick.
Xiang Yingjie thought of how Lan Yue had responded to him silently every time he mentioned Tang Wu in the dormitory. He thought that Lan Yue was the least interested in her.
He did not expect him to steal his woman!
Xiang Yingjie raised his fist and was about to swing it at Lan Yue when Lan Yue grabbed his fist, his expression calm. “I knew her before you.”
With that said, he left.
Xiang Yingjie punched the wall and glared at Lan Yue with red eyes. “Do you think she will be sincere to you? Why don’t you go and ask around? Who is she? She’s the young lady of the Tang family. Her marriage doesn’t depend on her own decisions. She just sees that you’re young and good-looking and wants to play with you. Even if you win the championship title, you’re just a lackey in front of the Tang family. They won’t let a poor brat like you in.”
Lan Yue paused and left without saying anything.
On the day Tang Wu and Bo Cixue went to M University, Tang Wu thought of Lan Yue when they were resting in the VIP lounge of the airport. She took out her phone and scrolled to his feed.
There were only three messages on his feed.
They were all about swimming.
However, one of them had been posted this morning. It was a photo of a green plant by the roadside.
He had probably not gone for training today but gone to the hospital.
Tang Wu sent him a message. “I’m going to M Country. I’ll only be back in about a week. Send me a photo of you.”
She only said that. With Lan Yue’s personality, he probably wouldn’t send her photos.
The announcement signaled the boarding. Tang Wu put away her phone and was about to get up when her WeChat chimed.
Lan Yue had sent her a photo.
It was a photo of him in his swimming trunks, about to jump into the pool.
He was good-looking and had defined abdominal muscles.
Tang Wu replied with a nosebleed emoji.
She put her phone in her pocket and got on the plane with Bo Cixue.
In the hospital.
Lan Yue went to the washroom to wash fruits for Lan Nuo.
He took it out and saw Lan Nuo smiling at his phone. He walked over. “What are you laughing at?”
“Brother Yue, you have a girlfriend.” Lan Nuo blinked at Lan Yue. “She doesn’t look like Chu Li, but she’s prettier than Chu Li.”
Lan Yue took back his phone and looked at the chat records.
The corners of his eyes twitched when he realized that the photo of him swimming was in the chat.
“You sent it?”
Lan Nuo nodded. “I took a photo secretly when you brought me to see you swim that day. That sister asked you for a photo just now and I sent it to her. I think that sister will definitely like your extremely handsome face.”
Lan Yue deleted it, but it was too late.
Lan Yue looked at Lan Nuo. “Don’t spout nonsense in the future.”
“Why? The nurse said that young ladies like young men with abdominal muscles.”
Lan Yue was speechless.
When they arrived at M University, Bo Cixue and Tang Wu finished their graduation ceremony and Bo Cixue booked a flight back.
Tang Wu looked at Bo Cixue and said worriedly, “If you really want to go to the west, the environment there is bad. I think you should at least bring a bodyguard with you.”
Bo Cixue shook her head. “I’ll be fine alone. My family will know if I bring my bodyguards.”
Tang Wu knew Bo Cixue’s personality. She was beautiful on the outside and seemed to need protection. She was easygoing and lazy, but in fact, as long as she was interested, she would do it no matter how difficult or dangerous it was. She was so bold that Tang Wu worried for her sometimes.
“Remember to report your schedule to me every day. If I don’t receive your message every day, I’ll go and find you personally.”
There were only five days left until Bo Cixue went to work. She could not delay any further, or she would have to rush back to work after seeing Ye Jie.
She returned to the country first, before taking a flight to W City in the west.
When they arrived at W City, she had to take a bus to town.
Before Bo Cixue came, she had called and asked Ah You about what their schedule was like. Ye Jie was doing an investigation in a place called Lin Town.
There were no buses in W City to Lin Town. when Bo Cixue arrived at the county, the sky was already getting dark and there were no buses that went straight to Lin Town.
As such, she could only find a hotel to rest for the night.
There was no hotel in town and the hotel conditions were average. Bo Cixue was tired from the long journey and after taking a bath, she fell asleep on the bed.
When she woke up the next day, it started to rain heavily.
She arrived at the bus stop and asked about the bus going to town.
The conductor told her that because of the heavy rain, the only bridge to town was broken and would take two to three days to be repaired.
Hearing this, Bo Cixue almost blacked out.
Did the heavens think that it was improper for her to come and find Ye Jie? Was she not going to see him at all?
Bo Cixue pursed her lips and looked at the dark sky. She took out her phone and made a call.
