The next day was a very fine day, the sun was shining through the blinds, and she sat up in bed and stretched lazily.

There was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom.

She asked, "Qiao Zhengqi, are you in there?" ”

Qiao Zhengqi's voice came from the bathroom: "Are you up?" I'll take a shower and make you breakfast. ”

Yuan Lu lifted the quilt, got off the bed, walked to the window and pushed the window, the air was very fresh, the sky was exceptionally blue, much more pleasing to the eye than the gray and yellow haze in City C.

Looking out from her room, you can see two crescent-shaped pools in the back yard, one large and one small, and the smaller one is a pool with warm water, which can also be soaked in winter.

Yuan Lu simply packed his luggage, picked out the clothes he was going to wear today, and put them on.

Qiao Zhengqi came out of the bathroom, a bath towel tied around his waist, and his upper body was naked. Naked, there are still undried droplets of water stuck on the muscles.

The two of them swallowed their throats unconsciously when they looked at each other.

Yuan Lu stepped up the movement of his hand and put the skirt off his head, but he came over and hugged her with bad intentions.

"Do you want my help?"

His body temperature was hot, as if he was about to burn her, and Yuan Lu's breathing became slightly short: "The zipper in the back." ”

His fingers brushed over her smooth back, and he heard her meow-like snort.

She exclaimed, "Where do you touch your fingers!" ”

Qiao Zhengqi bit her neck, and then helped her zip it up, "My temper is getting more and more funny." ”

Yuan Lu crossed his waist and said angrily: "Okay, I can't help but laugh next time." ”

Qiao Zhengqi raised his eyebrows, obviously looking forward to it.

"I won't interrupt you, I'll wash up."

"Hmm." He snuck up a kiss before letting go of her.

**********

After the two finished breakfast, Qiao Zhengqi drove the car to take Yuan Lu out.

Yuan Lu asked, "Where are we going now?" She couldn't understand the location in the navigation, but she was sure that she was going to his school.

"Look at the house."

"You want to buy a house?" What house to buy suddenly.

"You're going to buy it."

"Me!?" Yuan Lu's eyes widened, "I'm doing well in China, and I'll leave the United States to buy a house." ”

Qiao Zhengqi pinched her cheek with one hand: "Don't you want to stay with me?" ”

"Yes, but I'm doing a good job, and ......," she gagged, and didn't continue.

And the more than a week that she has been out with him has unconsciously touched the ardent desire in her heart for something, and she has made a very definite decision.

"Then stay with me, do you want me to say I miss you halfway around the world? I can't do it, I can't stand it, the limit of leaving you is thirteen days, have you forgotten? ”

He said a little aggrieved, and Yuan Lu was almost deceived by him, and asked, "So you took me to Boston in a hurry to buy a house with me?" ”

Qiao Zhengqi nodded and said: "I made an appointment with three agents to see the house, G University temporarily notified that there will be a seminar the day after tomorrow, we have to take the plane back to China before noon tomorrow, and today we have to see five or six houses in different places a day, the time has become a little tight, you may work harder." ”

Yuan Lu was stunned: "I don't have any money, and I can't afford to sell it." ”

Her deposit, sorry, didn't even reach six figures.

Qiao Zhengqi smiled a little evilly: "Who said you can't afford to sell it?" Sell it to me. ”

Yuan Lu snorted at him: "Qiao Zhengqi, you are becoming more and more faceless and skinless." ”

Qiao Zhengqi pinched her face, "What do you want your face for, it's enough for you." ”

If he is a scoundrel, you can't do anything about him, everyone has been abducted here by him, what other way can she fight him?

Qiao Zhengqi's tone became slightly gentle: "I also want to buy another set, now this set is a little far away from the school, and it is inconvenient to commute to work." In the past, it didn't matter if one person often stayed in the room, but in the future, when two people live together, I will try my best to commute normally, otherwise I won't feel at ease if you are home alone. ”

Yuan Lu bit her lip, stopped talking, and then said: "No, I'm not ready to have a showdown with my parents about our affairs, at least not for now, I'm not independent enough, and I don't have that confidence." ”

Qiao Zhengqi squeezed her hand hard: "Then when do you want to say it?" Yuan Lu, I won't let you wait, but can you not keep me waiting too long? ”

He has struggled for so many years, and since he saw her in the G library last year, he has completely recognized her as an indispensable part of his life, but she has been dodging their romance.

Yuan Lu looked out of the car window: "It's really not good...... It's not time to ...... yet."

She closed her eyes a little tiredly: "Qiao Zhengqi, wait, wait......"

When she is strong enough to match him, she also aspires to be that kind of person, to do meaningful things, to be recognized in her own industry.

Love is too superficial, not as good as a sandwich enough connotation, she is afraid that the initial love and sweetness, her short connotation is difficult to support their future.

He squeezed her hand and held it tightly.

It hurts, but it's sober.

Only by getting up to a high enough height and being strong enough in her heart to a certain extent, she can deal with it calmly even if the storm she will face in the future is big. By that time, she already had an invincible shell, and the world had nothing to fear.

His temptation is too beautiful, fortunately, her mind is not hot, she knows what to do, and finally has her own pursuit, maintaining an independence is the one thing she desires most in the face of this relationship, and the only thing that can achieve this independence is her career.

Their love doesn't happen on a green campus, you don't have to worry about the future, you can enjoy the sweet and bitter jerkyness of adolescence. Naked reality.

The face is easy to age, people's hearts will change, and no matter how strong the emotion is, it will become a sense of dependence in the end.

People can live without love, but they can't become an island with no people.

***********

The two changed two places in the morning, looked at two houses, both of which were single-family villas with garden pools, not too far from MIT, and in the afternoon, Yuan Lu took a nap in the car, dozed off for half an hour, and when he opened his eyes, he came to a house again.

This house is much more beautiful than the two I saw in the morning, and even the gate of the house is carefully set and has a simulated ecosystem, and the first thing you enter when you open the gate is a yard.

The guest rooms are separated into a separate building, opposite the main room, which has a courtyard with a Romanesque fountain.

Qiao Zhengqi went to turn off the burglar alarm system of the house and walked to the main house with Yuan Lu.

The house is so big that people can't tell the room around, and the kitchen on the first floor is big enough, and the dining room and open kitchen of 40 square meters should be quite open.

There were drinks and mineral water prepared by the owner for the housekeeper in the refrigerator, Qiao Zhengqi wrung a bottle of water for Yuan Lu, and said, "This set is the best set among the few sets I picked, do you think it's good?" ”

Yuan Lu took a sip of water, walked out of the kitchen, went to the wine cabinet in the hall to look, pushed open the door and looked at the garage, and finally went around to the backyard.

The garden is particularly large, a whole half-open blue storm embellishes the color of the entire backyard, the pool is gourd-shaped, with a small pool with hot water on the side, and the owner also planted a lot of greens in the backyard.

She drank water and almost choked on a barking dog.

A West Heights that didn't know where to get out of the garden came running towards her.

Yuan Lu was stunned, and the West Heights ran straight at her, stopping vigilantly when he was about to approach her.

The original heron squatted down and patiently beckoned to it: "comehere, honey, comehere." ”

The puppy first approached her a little bit vigilantly, and then sniffed around the heron before gradually letting down his vigilance. The heron touched its head, and it squinted slightly with pleasure, looking pleasant.

"Qiao Zhengqi." Yuan Lu called him.

Qiao Zhengqi came out from behind the door and was stunned when he saw her squatting on the ground rubbing a puppy.

She looked up and smiled and said to him, "Do you think it looks like Pony?" Even the curvature of the tail curl is the same, but it is much more pleasing than Pony's grinding and exquisite, look at how close it is. ”

Qiao Zhengqi walked over, slowly squatted down, rubbed the puppy's back, and asked, "Do you like it?" ”

"Hmm."

"That's it?"

"Huh? I'm talking about dogs. ”

Qiao Zhengqi finished rubbing the dog, and then rubbed her, rubbing her like a puppy, "If you like it, you can buy it, but the cycle of buying a house is too long, and it is not the same as in China, that is, the purchase and transfer are transferred, and it is estimated that we will have to wait until the summer vacation here, and then we can entrust Devin, who has been looking at the house recently, and needs experience in this area." ”

"Buy your own name, I might ......"

Before she could finish speaking, he interrupted: "There is no other possibility, we will be together for the rest of our lives, this will be our home from now on, you are the hostess here, you will take care of this beautiful garden, Po may not be good at picking up this long distance when he is old, when the time comes, we will adopt a puppy, and I will paint another oil painting of you holding a puppy in the garden." ”

Yuan Lu bit her lower lip slightly, endured the words in her heart, and finally chose to respond to him with a smile.

He stood up from the ground and said to her very seriously and exactly: "Yuan Lu, we will be together for the rest of our lives, okay?" ”

She hung her head, clapped her hands to drive the puppy away, took a deep breath and stood up, smiled and said, "Okay." ”

He frowned and denied, "Not good." ”

"Huh?"

"Do you think one life is enough?"

“…… One life is not enough? ”

"I want your life and your life."

"Greed."

"I've never been so greedy for you."

“……”

"Qiao Zhengqi, you tell me honestly, where did you learn these flirting skills! The old man's girl's heart is about to explode! ”

"Hmm."

"What do you mean?"

"I just like what you mean."

“…… Perfunctory! She raised her fist to hit him, but he dodged when he saw the situation.

The meadows, the gardens, the pools, the eaves, the sunshine, the running lovers, the sweetness of May.

He gave her a house, as if he had built a castle in her heart that would never fall.
