Chapter 7 (Part 2): If you embrace me ( VII )

Xie Boyu's cooking skills still can't make people compliment but Lu Man still didn't avoid it, eating the food with relish. Xie Boyu busily passed her the food but he had no appetite. He only ate a little bit then he put down his chopsticks.

Later, when he saw that Lu Man almost finished eating all the food, he walked away for a while. When he returned, he placed a key in front of Lu Man. She looked up. Xie Boyu said: "Don't knock on the door next time. Come in by yourself."

She was a little startled then she managed to react. Lu Man carefully received the key. When she looked at him again, she smiled like a daisy and said: "Okay." She understood that this is the Christmas gift that Xie Boyu prepared for her—SURPRISE!

(Megane: "Surprise" was written in English in the raws)


Her face was full of smiles, her eyes burning and looking at Xie Boyu: "I have a gift in return, do you want it?" When she said that, she rushed up while pouting her lips, as if she wanted to kiss him. She had a completely naughty and mischievous appearance.


Xie Boyu's eyes are gentle. His mouth coldly and faintly replied: "No need."


Lu Man, as if receiving a shock, showed a grievous appearance. It provoked him to laugh.


After Christmas is the final exams. The school has two major exams.


Although Lu Man can retain the true level that she can display, but from the grade she had from the previous 100 to the current ranking, it can be said that the leap of achievement is not too much. It's to the point that the grade teacher often said some words to Jiang Xi for her efforts.


After the end of the final exam, it was a little time away from the new year. The school arranged some make-up classes so Lu Man still had to go to school. The university holidays are different from that of high school. When she was still in class, Xie Boyu already began to rest but he stayed with her.


They are still the same as before.


In fact, although the relationship between the two was somewhat different, Xie Boyu had never done a behavior that overstepped the limits to her for a long time. Whether it's holding hands, kissing, or hugging, it's all the same.


Lu Man knows that all along, Xie Boyu was being obstructed by their age gap and the difference of their identity. From any point of view, this is good because it means that he wants to shoulder the responsibility for Jiang Xi's feelings.


Despite understanding it, Lu Man still feels a bit unhappy.


So why did she dislike the trashy second-hand system…… It's really not without reason.


The end of Lu Man's make-up classes coincides with Xie Boyu's birthday. After two classes in the afternoon, the school dismissed earlier than usual. She didn't directly return to the old villa. Instead, she went to the mall to choose a gift.


She went back as soon as she chose a gift for Xie Boyu. It's already six o'clock by then. The sky was turning black. From afar, she saw the lights from the old villa where Xie Boyu lived. When she got near, she heard the sound of laughter from inside.


Lu Man felt herself for her phone and looked at it. No calls nor message. She carried her things near the window. She tiptoed and stretched her head to peek at the house.There were a lot of people, young men and women, which are probably friends of Xie Boyu.


She saw a birthday cake. Perhaps his friends came to him to celebrate his birthday. Lu Man thought and thought. In the middle of confusion and ignorance, if she burst in, it will cause attention. She turned around and hesitated and chose the latter.

(Megane: I'm so confused of this paragraph. If anyone can help me, here are the raws: 她看到了有生日蛋糕,或许是谢博裕的朋友来给他过生日。路漫想了想,在懵懂无知闯进去和闹出动静引起注意转身就跑中间犹豫了一下,选中比较作的后者。)


She walked lightly to the door. She neatly arranged the cake and gift on her hand. She lifted her hand to knock on the door. She heard someone respond and went to the yard. She has a bit of confidence in Xie Boyu and it wasn't someone else who will answer the door.


Xie Boyu estimated the time and reckoned that it was around this time when she comes back. He heard the knocking on the door and he opened the door quicker than others. He didn't think that his friends will suddenly visit him for his birthday. This matter happened a bit too sudden.


Seeing that there was no one outside but there are things there, Xie Boyu's mouth turned into a straight line. His line of eyes began to search around for Lu Man's figure. Finally seeing her figure from behind  and leaving far, he immediately frowned.


Behind Xie Boyu, a friend saw him standing at the door. He also didn't see anyone outside the door and asked. He knew that there's something wrong. He called out and went to chase without even wearing a coat on his slim body.


Lu Man was originally slowly walking like her school walk when she seemed to hear footsteps behind her. She looked back and immediately hastened her pace. She rushed forward in a hurry, as if trying to escape sort of type.


The sky is completely dark and the dim gloomy street light drew the shadows very long. Beside the road, the tall ginkgo tree's leaves had long since fallen, leaving the solitary trunk. The wind is a bit stronger at night and there was a gust of coldness.


Lu Man felt the approaching Xie Boyu and he finally grabbed her arm. She stopped, not wanting to break away from his arm but she didn't turn around. Xie Boyu's voice came from behind: "How can you still leave when you're back?"


Silent for a moment, Lu Man said: "Nothing. Furthermore, you have guests. I won't go."


Xie Boyu explained: "They didn't give prior notice in advance. They suddenly came to me to celebrate my birthday……"


He was in the middle of talking when Lu Man said: "It's your friends. It's not good for me to go. I know, you definitely don't want them to know me. It's still better not to run into them."


Xie Boyu asked: "Why do you think so?"


Lu Man turned her body, her eyes flashing with tears. She didn't cry but her flattened mouth said: "I just know that you think I'm too young. So you never hold my hand, never hug me, not even……"


Xie Boyu froze slightly and sighed. He took a look around and held Lu Man's hand. He took her to the side, taking two steps. By the time Lu Man reaction came, her back was already pressed against the tree and Xie Boyu is standing in front of her.


His one hand is propped up on the tree trunk, confining her, while his other hand is holding her shoulder. She lifted her eyes to look at him. Xie Boyu had already stooped down and kissed her lips. His soft lips, his warm embrace, his body's impressively rich and refined flavor, this one moment is exceptionally fascinating.


The lingering kiss came to an end and the two people gasped.


Xie Boyu went close to her ear, his voice low and husky: "Don't slander me as you wish, okay?"


Lu Man reached out and hugged him, burying her face to his chest. She lowly answered: "Yes, I'm wrong……"


Xie Boyu slightly sighed. He lifted his hand and touched her hair. Then he touched her face: "Let's go back, ok?"


Lu Man, who was still buried in his chest, nodded.

Megane: Aiyah! A sweet part! I almost forgot this part! (@o@)
