Lu Youyou's heart raced violently, pumping blood straight to her brain, disrupting numerous neural pathways. It felt as if she were drunk, her feet light and unsteady. A gift? This guy had been busy at the research institute and still managed to prepare a gift for her?
Countless surprises and indescribable emotions surged within her as Lu Youyou hurried forward. "Is this an album?" she asked, her eager demeanor particularly charming.
"Why not open it and see?" Xu Lie smiled as he handed it over.
In fact, long before the Cang Hai Jue event, Xu Lie had thought about what kind of gift to choose for Lu Youyou. Should he give her jewelry that girls typically like? That didn’t seem right; during their time together, he hadn’t seen her wear any jewelry. Perhaps she was too young for that or simply didn’t like it—eliminated.
How about beauty products? That seemed more suitable, but the sentiment felt a bit lacking—eliminated again.
In the end, Xu Lie decided on an album that documented their memories together. He remembered how Lu Youyou had once insisted on taking a group photo with him, making several requests. Since she loved photos so much, an album would surely be a hit.
As for how the album came to be? Well, it was simply a matter of taking screenshots one by one. With a little investment, he could purchase this service and enjoy free streaming of the drama "Not Allowed to Fall in Love." He watched and selected suitable moments, capturing them until he had pieced together the album.
Though watching himself perform in a film and television drama was awkward enough to make him want to dig his toes into the floor, the outcome was worth it.
Lu Youyou eagerly flipped open the album, and the first photo left her stunned. The background featured the now-destroyed Ji University Building—a rare shot capturing both Lu Youyou and Xu Lie in the frame. They had been strangers at that time; how did this photo come about?
As she continued to flip through, she found images of Xu Lie confronting danger alongside her and moments where he had pulled her to safety during a fire.
Lu Youyou felt increasingly delighted as she looked at the photo, memories of their time together flooding back. A smile crept onto her lips, and she thought, does Xu Lie even know?
During the days right after their separation, she had stared at her phone screen every day, living off that one group photo of the two of them. Her eyes softened as she caressed the picture. "How did you manage to take this?" she wondered aloud.
Xu Lie had already prepared an excuse: "Don't forget about the Mini Mecha."
At his reminder, Lu Youyou recalled that little gadget and nodded in understanding, eagerly continuing to browse through the photos.
Hmm? She wasn’t going to ask more questions?
Xu Lie had thought up a story in case Lu Youyou asked why he had taken her picture so early; he would have just made up something about needing a backup. But now, she didn’t ask at all?
Stealing a glance at Lu Youyou's beaming smile, Xu Lie couldn’t help but smile back. It was better this way; as long as this silly girl was happy, that was all that mattered.
When Lu Youyou finally finished flipping through the album, she hugged it tightly to her chest, reluctant to let go. "But I didn’t know you were coming today," she said. "I didn’t prepare anything."
She couldn’t help but feel guilty seeing that even though Xu Lie was busy with research at the lab every day, he still remembered to bring her a gift. Meanwhile, she had nothing to offer him, and that made her feel even more self-critical.
Xu Lie waved it off casually. "No worries. Just treat me to a meal as a gift."
