Chapter 33: How Good Would It Be If You Were There?
After the party, Mu Yueli and Qiao Moze sent Professor Ding to the school gate. Professor Ding was not suitable to stay outside for a long time due to her old age and frailty, so she and the two proud protégés exchanged a few words of conversation at the school gate, and after agreeing on the time of the next teacher's meeting, she waved goodbye.
Mu Yueli and Qiao Moze watched Professor Ding leave, and when her figure was completely submerged in the night, Mu Yueli felt that the air around her seemed to gradually stop flowing as Professor Ding went away, and she was a little out of breath.
Right now, it's just her and him.
Mu Yueli wrung her fingers in pain, silently biting her lower lip, constantly piecing together appropriate sentences in her mind, hoping to leave the current situation naturally.
When she was searching her intestines and shaving her stomach and frowning, a voice as gentle as water slowly flowed into her ears from above her head: "Yueli, do you have time later?" How about we go for a walk on the shore of Yingyue Lake? ”
A panicked look flashed in Mu Yueli's eyes, she lowered her eyes, didn't dare to look up at him, and told herself over and over again in her heart that she had to refuse, but when the "good" word blurted out, Mu Yueli couldn't help but clench her fists, and really wanted to beat herself.
After hearing Mu Yueli's reply, Qiao Moze's originally somewhat nervous expression instantly relaxed, and his signature smile like the warm sun of May bloomed on his handsome face. He turned around with great satisfaction, turned his head slightly in the direction of Yingyue Lake, and motioned for Mu Yueli to go with her.
Qiao Moze was in front, Mu Yueli was behind, and along the way, the two chatted without a word about the changes in the Royal Academy in the past two years, or the gossip of the professors.
"The surface of Yingyue Lake seems to be much wider, and I remember that when I left two years ago, it didn't take so long to walk from the lakeside to the school gate." Qiao Moze said.
"Yes, the lake was widened last year, so it feels a bit far away......," Mu Yueli said with a strong sense of composure.
"The cherry blossoms on the lakeside were transplanted later, right?" Qiao Moze looked at the rows of unfamiliar cherry blossom trees beside him and asked.
"Well, I heard from the dean of education that these cherry blossom trees are all precious flowers that the school specially ordered from Japan, but it's a pity that the flowers have withered now......," Mu Yueli said regretfully.
"It's okay, I missed this year's flowering period, and there is a coming year, and I won't miss it again next year!" Qiao Moze suddenly stopped, slowly turned around, and looked at Mu Yueli, who had been walking behind him just now.
Mu Yueli kept his head down and followed behind Qiao Moze, thinking about his own thoughts, while walking forward casually, not noticing that he was standing in front of him.
Suddenly, her head hit a chest wall solidly, Mu Yueli didn't stand firmly, and couldn't help but stumble back a few steps, a pair of warm hands tightly grasped her arms, so that she didn't fall backwards.
Mu Yueli reflexively raised her head and met the burning gaze.
The evening breeze was blowing, and the fresh smell on his body hit him in wisps, like a medicine of charm, making Mu Yueli forget to think for a while.
"Senior Brother Moze...... The flowers have already thanked ......," Mu Yueli said thoughtlessly.
"It's okay, I'm back, I can wait for next year's flowering." He chuckled, not letting go at all.
Mu Yueli tentatively twisted her lower arm, not breaking free from his restraints, she lowered her head a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and tried to change the topic.
"By the way, senior brother, why did you come back suddenly? Didn't you say it would take four years to graduate? ”
"Yes, it was supposed to take four years, but I completed all the courses two years early and applied for early graduation."
"Oh......" Mu Yueli replied, but she didn't know how to continue the topic next.
"In the moon," Qiao Moze called softly, his eyes as clear as the water in the mountains reflected her shadow, and he leaned forward slightly, shortening the distance between him and her. "Do you know why I came back early?"
"Because I have a man tied to my heart......"
