After dinner, as Yan Su prepared to leave, Mo Liuxi gave her a key.
This is she murmured.
The key of my apartment, Mo Liuxi said. With this key, you can open my door and come into my apartment to cook for me when Im not at home, so you dont need to wait outside like earlier today.
This is inappropriate. I can just call you before I come over. Yan Su looked at the key, feeling pressed.
Take it. Itll be yours sooner or later. Mo Liuxi put the key into her pocket.
Yan Su blushed when she heard that. Its not like that. I havent accepted you, remember?
Whether you accept me or not, I have decided that I want you, Mo Liuxi responded, bossy and determined.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yan Sus heart thumped. She quickly returned to her apartment and packed her things.
Mo Liuxi walked her downstairs. Before she left, Mo Liuxi stood under the streetlight and looked at her, feeling so reluctant to part with her.
It was the first time hed felt that way about someone leaving.
Liuxi, go and stay with your Mom for the weekend. Ill try to come home by Sunday night.
Alright. Ill be waiting for you. Mo Liuxi didnt say much.
Those simple words hed said lingered in Yan Sus mind on her ride to the airport.
Shed once said the same thing to Shi Xiang.
Shed spent so many years waiting for him. Had she now finally met a boy who was willing to wait for her?
Perhaps, she shouldnt be so afraid of that.
Mo Liuxi was right. Was she going to let constantly waiting for Shi Xiang become the only thing that she had done in her best years?
She looked out the window. The car was driving on a street through the college town. Young couples held hands, walked together on the street, or sat together in the milk tea shops.
The girls were smilingly sweetly at their boyfriends.
Jiaojiao sighed. I miss my college years. These boys and girls remind me of my college boyfriends.
Yan Su looked at her and asked, Youre single, right? Why did you break up with your ex?
We graduated from college and chose different lives. Jiaojiao smiled. I had three relationships during college, all great. We got together because we liked each other.
Yan Su laughed. I didnt know about that side of you. Youve been working with me for over a year, but never had a new boyfriend. Is this job keeping you too busy?
Thats part of the reason. Once you graduate from school, relationships become complicated. Liking each other is no longer the only reason why two people get together. You have to think about if he has a good career, if his financial condition is good enough, if his family background is healthy, and his personality. Also, your parents will urge you to get married. All in all, its not as pure as before. Jiaojiao shook her head and sighed. Plus, most of the men want to get you into bed at the very beginning of your relationship. While youre thinking about your relationship, hes all about sex. Thats sad.
Yan Su chuckled.
Sometimes, I really envy you. Jiaojiao glanced at her and continued. Youth. Thats something you can never have twice.
Yan Su looked outside the window and fell into silence.
At 11:00 that night, the plane landed at the Hong Kong airport.
Yan Su switched on her phone and saw Mo Liuxis messageText me when you land to let me know that youre safe.
Yan Su felt warm-hearted. She put the phone back into her purse. After a short walk, she took the phone back out and sent him a few wordsIve arrived at HK.
Mo Liuxi immediately called her and said, Give me your address.
Why? Yan Su gave a start. You arent coming to visit me, are you?
No, I didnt even get my pass to Hong Kong yet. Besides, Im a wounded man. Mo Liuxi tittered and said, I understand how you feel. After all, boys always travel far away across the sea to see their girls in many TV dramas.
