Chapter 25: My Youth Is Coming to an End

At night, I was woken up by a rapid ringing of my mobile phone, and in a daze, I reached out and touched the phone under the pillow next to me, and pressed the connect button without looking.

"Sleeping?" Lu Yunzheng's deep and pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone, and I was so frightened that I trembled and got up from the bed without sleep.

I looked at myself in the dressing mirror next to the bed, and there were still a few tears on my pretty face.

"Hello? Listening? ”

Lu Yunzheng had been waiting for the other end of the phone to speak, and he raised his voice a little after I didn't make a sound.

"Well, listening." I sniffed and wiped my tears from the back of my hand.

"I want to call you for New Year's Eve at twelve o'clock," Lu Yunzheng paused and continued: "Someone here set off fireworks to light the house next door, and we called the police to come over and just deal with it."

It's been so long and it's the first time Lu Yunzheng has said so much to me.

"Hmm." I nodded, and Lu Yunzheng's few words actually swept away the sorrow in my heart.

"You...... What's wrong? Not used to living at my grandfather's place? Lu Yunzheng changed his hand with his mobile phone a little nervously, and he heard the faint sound of wiping tears on the phone.

"No, no, the people here are very nice, I'm very happy." I quickly cleared my throat and reorganized my mood, if he knew that I was secretly shedding tears alone because he didn't send me New Year's greetings, it would be a shame.

That night, the two of us hugged the phone and chatted a lot, from study to work to future planning, until I was so tired that Lu Yunzheng didn't hang up the phone.

—————————————————

Time waits for no one, and another year has passed in a blink of an eye, and my youth is coming to an end.

When graduation was approaching, the mood of the surrounding students was very impetuous, the college entrance examination, liberation, tearing books, graduation ceremony......

All of this made me feel fresh and unfamiliar, and after the graduation ceremony, I was blocked on the playground by Gu Zhou in my ill-fitting graduation gown.

Today's Gu Zhou looks particularly handsome, especially the diamond stud earring on one of his ears makes him even more handsome.

"Hey, Jiang Lanyue, you took photos with so many people, what about me?" His tone was like that of a child begging for candy from an adult, and I couldn't help but laugh when I heard it.

Chu Xiaoxiao on the side glanced at the two of us ambiguously, blinked her eyes and asked gossipingly, "Are you interested in our family Jiang Lanyue?" Why don't you want to take a photo with her? ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" I reached out and gently slapped Chu Xiaoxiao to signal her to shut up and stop coaxing, I can actually feel Gu Zhou's courtesy to me, but I have always been cautious to keep my distance from him, because I don't like him.

Gu Zhou, who was joking, was not angry, but came forward forcefully and pulled me to stand under the wisteria stand at the school.

"Chu Xiaoxiao's quick shot, remember to send it from my WeChat after the shooting!" Gu Zhou smiled cheerfully and stretched out his hands to draw two "V" words on my head.

"Senior Lu?" Suddenly, Chu Xiaoxiao put down the mobile phone that was taking pictures, pointed behind me and shouted in surprise.

I suspect that Chu Xiaoxiao is nervous again, Lu Yunzheng is obviously busy studying abroad, how could he appear here.

"Jiang Lanyue." However, in the next second, Lu Yunzheng's clear voice rang out, straight through my eardrums, and gave my brain a slam on it.

"Why are you back?" Without thinking about it, I turned around and ran over, looking Lu Yunzheng up and down excitedly.

He was wearing a black suit fabric trousers with a casual shirt-style white short sleeve on top of it, and he was staring at me with a lazy and playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I just got off the plane yesterday and stayed in the hotel for one night."

"Aren't you busy with the end of the semester at this time? How can I come back when I am free? "It's true that Lu Yunzheng came back at this time, the time is not right, he is a person who hasn't come back for the New Year for two years in a row.

"I'm done with the work over there, so I'm just taking the time to come back and have a look." Lu Yunzheng's handsome face was a little unnatural, and he seemed to have grown a little taller in just two years.

My heart was now completely filled with joy, and Lu Yunzheng looked over my shoulder at Gu Zhou behind me, with a little more mockery in his eyes.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" I smiled at Lu Yunzheng, thinking about where to pick him up and wash the dust.

"Hmm." Lu Yunzheng put his hands in his pockets, looked down at me, and his eyes fell on my hair.

"Then Senior Lu, you and Yueyue will go to dinner first, let's go back!"

Chu Xiaoxiao knew that this was our own family's business, so it was inconvenient to disturb it anymore, so she quickly pulled Gu Zhou away.

"Are you hungry?" I looked at Lu Yunzheng with some twist, and took off the inconvenient robe on my body.

"Not very hungry." Lu Yunzheng raised his hand and motioned for me to hand him the clothes.

"Then let's stop eating, you can accompany me to buy a pair of shoes." I handed him the dress and straightened the dress.

"What shoes?"

"Isn't it a graduation party in a few days, I want to wear little heels once."

Most girls want beautiful shoes in their adolescence, and I am no exception.

"Let's go."

Lu Yunzheng put the graduation gown he had just taken off in the back seat and let me sit in his co-pilot.

The car started smoothly and then slowly drove away from the school, I sat on the side and secretly looked at Lu Yunzheng's handsome side face that had matured a little, and my throat tightened for no reason: "Do you often drive abroad?"

"Not much." Lu Yunzheng turned his head to look at me and continued: "The school is relatively close to the house, and it will take ten minutes to walk."

I remembered the blonde and blue-eyed foreign beauty who was close to him on Chinese New Year's Eve when Lu Yunzheng went abroad for the first time, and I wanted to ask Lu Yunzheng if he had a girlfriend abroad.

But this question is a bit out of bounds for my younger sister, so I can only move out of Li Tinglan to ask after I turn a corner.

"Last time Aunt Li said that you brought back a foreign daughter-in-law, what happened?" I clutched the seat belt on my chest tightly with my fingers, for fear that I would accidentally reveal a little secret in my heart.

"She may have seen the senior sister next to me, I won't look for a girlfriend abroad." When Lu Yunzheng said this, he looked back at me meaningfully.

Lu Yunzheng's deep eyes seemed to have hooks in them, just looking at me directly, and with his handsome face, it almost hooked my soul.

"Oh, I see." I swallowed my saliva and looked straight ahead as if I was running away, avoiding Lu Yunzheng's playful gaze.

The car came to the most prosperous shopping street in the city, we parked in the underground garage, and the parking clerk hurriedly greeted Lu Yunzheng when he saw such a luxurious and asked Lu Yunzheng if he needed help.

"No, you don't." Lu Yunzheng replied politely, and then took me to continue looking for a suitable parking space.

I felt the safe and steady breath from him, and I couldn't help but feel that Lu Yunzheng had developed in the direction of a mature and attractive man, but I was still like a young yellow-haired girl, and I would only follow him.

Lu Yunzheng took me to a foreign brand shoe store with long legs, and I didn't know how to choose, so I could only follow him like a little daughter-in-law.

"What color dress do you wear?" Lu Yunzheng looked at the rows of different styles of high heels on the shelves with long fingers, and his expression didn't seem to be very satisfied.

"Huh? I haven't thought about it yet, so I'm wearing this? ”

Lu Yunzheng glanced at the little black dress on my body, frowned and said, "It's not suitable for you, is there anything else?"

"No, it's all in the wardrobe." My clothes are basically this style, which Li Tinglan invited a special designer to make, and usually takes me to various banquets to wear.

"Let's buy a new one."

"Huh??"

"Do you two want to pick up shoes?" The store manager walked over to the two of us, she casually looked at Lu Yunzheng's clothes, and immediately changed to a flattering smile on her face.

"Well, anything else?"

The store manager looked at the handsome man in his early twenties in front of him, his expensive outfit and cold and noble temperament all reminded him that his family background was not ordinary.

"Yes, yes, please come with me."

We went to the VIP room in the middle of the room, and the store manager asked someone to take out a few pairs of limited edition models from the back hall and present them to me.

One of the shoes caught my eye as soon as it appeared, with a creamy satin upper with a sleek line attached to it with a tonal ankle ring, and the most striking thing was that the ankle ring hung a string of delicate diamond tassels that ran down to the toe.

Lu Yunzheng looked at my eyes carefully, stretched out his hand to pick up the shoe and asked, "Like this?"

"Uh-huh!!" I nodded heavily and blinked at Lu Yunzheng.

"This young lady is really good eye, this is our new limited edition summer new product, this heel is very stable, Miss must be very suitable to wear it so white." The manager enthusiastically introduced the shoes, but I was worried that I wouldn't have enough money.

Originally, I called Lu Yunzheng to let him be a reference, but who knew that he took me directly to such a high-end place.

"That's it, wrap up." Lu Yunzheng waved his hand, took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it over.

"Wait, I'll pay for it myself!" When I came this time, I specially brought the card that Lao Jiang gave me, which was earned by Lao Jiang live broadcast himself, and he asked me to buy some clothes and bags to wear.

"Are you sure?" Lu Yunzheng glanced at my bank card, raised his eyebrows and smiled at me.

"Multi-...... How much? ”

"Hello, these shoes are twenty thousand." The manager smiled and instructed the clerk to wrap up the shoes, and replied respectfully as he stood aside.

“……”

I don't know how much money there is in this card, in case Lao Jiang doesn't even have 20,000, then I won't be a loser.

"You...... You pay it, and I owe you it, and I'll pay it back to you later. ”

In the end, I used the money given by Lao Jiang to buy a light blue dress for myself, and the two of us went back with my things.

After an afternoon of shopping, it was a little hot, and I saw an ice cream stand in the mall, and I ran over with great interest.

"Eat? I invite you. I asked, looking at the freezer with all sorts of colorful scoots of ice cream.

"Don't eat it." Lu Yunzheng was not interested in these sweets, so he shook his head decisively and refused.

Lu Yunzheng didn't eat it, I asked for 3 matcha-flavored ones, and I didn't give him an extra spoon.

Back in the car, I slipped into the wide back of my chair, pulled out my spoon and began to take small sips of ice cream.

After Lu Yunzheng fastened his seat belt, he found that I was eating with relish, frowned and put one hand on the steering wheel and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious! This matcha is not very sweet and greasy, with just the right amount of bitterness. I said as I shoved it into my mouth again.

"I'll taste it." Lu Yunzheng suddenly came over, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at the ice cream box in my hand.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't eat it? I only took one spoon ......"

Lu Yunzheng didn't care so much, he reached out and picked up the spoon I used before I could react, scooped it up and put it in his mouth.

“!!!!” I've eaten this spoon before! There's my saliva on it!

I was stunned in place, and my eyes were stunned as I watched Lu Yunzheng's licking movements.

"Yes, it's sweet." Lu Yunzheng finally gave me the spoon back, and there was a hint of a triumphant smile on the corner of his mouth.

My mind went blank, just staring mechanically at Lu Yunzheng's thin ruddy lips, his face was crimson, and in this empty carriage, I heard my heartbeat as fast as a drum hammer.
