Though her mind was racing with thoughts, Lu Youyou's arms acted on their own, wrapping around Xu Lie from behind. A smile crept onto her lips, filled with joy, as she lightly closed her eyes, revealing a hint of shyness. She felt the warmth and strength of Xu Lie's embrace, which brought her a sense of security. In that moment, she wished she could nestle in his arms for a lifetime.
She was like a wandering wild goose that had finally migrated from the cold north to find a warm nest. She longed to merge completely with Xu Lie. The emotions of youth often resemble poetry, and the blush on her cheeks was far more vivid and beautiful than any verse.
Ding.
The elevator doors slid open once more. Lu Ma, urged by Lu Ba to check why their daughter Lu Youyou hadn’t gone out to drive the electric car yet, was just about to step outside with a bag of garbage when she witnessed a scene that struck her like lightning!
Lu Youyou snapped back to reality from her daze, immediately letting go and turning around. Upon recognizing her mother, her face turned an even deeper shade of red, as if blood vessels beneath her skin were about to burst.
Both Lu Youyou and Lu Ma exchanged silent glances, their eyes wide in shock. The former wished she could dig three feet into the ground and hide completely. The latter had never expected that a simple trip downstairs to throw out kitchen waste would lead to such an explosive revelation.
Meanwhile, Xu Lie remained unfazed, greeting Lu Ma politely: "Hello, Auntie. It's nice to meet you; I am Xu Lie."
Having previously sent Mini Mecha to monitor the Lu Family out of concern for Lu Youyou’s safety during their first collaboration, Xu Lie was somewhat familiar with Lu Ba and Lu Ma’s appearances.
“Ah? Oh, um… hello.” Lu Ma recognized Xu Lie as well but found herself at a loss for words in such an awkward situation.
After exchanging greetings, Lu Youyou finally realized that she couldn’t dig through the ground with her toes while wearing shoes. Instead, she grabbed Xu Lie’s hand and bolted: “I—I’m going to school!”
As they ran off, Xu Lie waved back at Lu Ma: “Sorry! Youyou seems in a hurry for class. I’ll come by next time for a proper visit!”
Once they were out of sight, Lu Ma gradually regained her composure and hurriedly pressed the button to return home, eager to inform her husband about what had just happened. Garbage? What could be more important than this?
On the other side, after dragging Xu Lie to the area where electric cars were parked in their community, Lu Youyou finally stopped and gasped for breath. Her cheeks remained flushed as she lightly punched Xu Lie’s arm: “It’s all your fault!”
"My mom, my mom definitely told my dad about this!"
"Isn't that better?" Xu Lie said, his thick skin showing no signs of embarrassment. "This way, it will be more convenient for me to visit formally next time."
"You... you can't be serious!" Lu Youyou looked at Xu Lie in disbelief. "Are you really coming?"
"Hmm?" Xu Lie relaxed his posture with interest. "I could skip the visit if you want."
Naturally, Lu Youyou was not pleased. "No way! You still have to come!"
What is wrong with this person?
Lu Youyou was unsure whether to feel embarrassed or angry. They had already kissed, and now he was saying he might not come? Was he trying to avoid responsibility?
Xu Lie couldn't hold back his laughter; it was just too amusing. "So, should I visit or not?"
Lu Youyou's teeth were nearly grinding together as she realized Xu Lie was joking. She waved her small fist in a mock threat. "If you dare not come, hmph!"
