Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love-Chapter 373: Because I Know I’m in Your Heart

Liu Ou, although she entered Lin Yu’s apartment last night, didn’t really have a good look around. This time, when she heard his gentle invitation,

she did feel a trace of interest.

After they were both packed, they headed over.

Lin Yu’s apartment was just across the street from the temporary apartment Liu Ou was renting.

It was a quick walk.

Lin Yu glanced at the time, "My roommate might be there too, not sure, his schedule at home is quite unpredictable."

Lin Yu’s roommate was also Chinese, and several other international students who had come out with Lin Yu had also invited him to live together.

But, they rented a large house to live in as a group.

Lin Yu didn’t really like that, so he politely declined, saying he had already found a place in advance.

In the end, he did find a place to share, just with one other person.

Lin Yu liked it very much.

If he really couldn’t find anything, he was even considering living on his own.

But after all, living alone in a foreign country isn’t very safe, and his family was worried.

"My housemate studies fashion design, he’s quite amazing. I even saw his work in a magazine before. He’s a good guy, named Ying Huang, but I call him Ying Ge," Lin Yu introduced softly to Liu Ou.

Liu Ou nodded, her thoughts drifting to the casually strewn female undergarments she had seen in the living room before.

She asked quietly, "Is Ying Ge’s relationship with women quite..."

Lin Yu remained silent for a moment; it wasn’t his nature to casually talk about others’ personal lives.

Though he wasn’t home much, indeed, he had seen Ying Huang bring different people over a few times.

Previously, when they discussed living together, they agreed not to interfere with each other’s social life, but they also agreed, as long as the other was still in the house, not to bring people over randomly.

Those few times Lin Yu saw, he was just coming back to fetch something unexpectedly.

He had asked Ying Huang this morning before bringing Liu Ou over today.

So when they arrived, the apartment was neat, clean, and bright.

Lin Yu was even stunned himself.

Liu Ou blinked, "If I hadn’t come yesterday, I would’ve really believed it."

Lin Yu couldn’t help but laugh, "He probably didn’t know you came over yesterday."

The apartment was actually not that big, and the living room was made very cozy. Your next read is at novelbuddy

But Liu Ou, recalling the mess in the living room from the day before, didn’t really feel like resting there.

Perhaps Lin Yu sensed her inner thoughts and led her straight into the bedroom, "You can check around. In any case, you know I haven’t had the chance to come home since yesterday."

Liu Ou gave him an amused look, then watched as he pushed open the bedroom door.

Inside, it was also quite messy.

The room was a guest room, with books piled high on both the bed and the desk.

Not an exaggeration—it was a lot of books. Since there was no bookshelf, they were simply stacked together.

At first glance, it was somewhat impressive.

Lin Yu took her hand and walked her into his own room, casually tossing clothes from the bed onto the desk chair with a helpless tone, "If I had known you’d come, I definitely would have tidied up in advance."

However, Liu Ou smiled at him, "But this is real."

Every corner bore traces of Lin Yu’s life.

One could imagine him lying on the bed reading, casually placing a book aside.

There were half-read books on the desk, and sheets of white paper filled with writing.

In front of Liu Ou’s eyes were visions of him studying, reading books.

She knew Lin Yu was always striving very hard to get ahead.

Everyone felt sorry for Liu Ou’s choices and waiting.

But, clearly, Lin Yu was the one who was the most tired and had been working the hardest.

Lin Yu invited her to sit on the bed, "There aren’t any spare chairs here, so sit here..."

No sooner had Liu Ou sat down than she reached out and hugged Lin Yu’s waist.

Lin Yu paused, then reached out to pat her head, "What’s wrong?"

"You’ve worked hard," Liu Ou said softly. "I’m feeling a bit of regret. If I had been more difficult, made you stay in China, you wouldn’t have to work so hard..."

You don’t need to be that great, just be by my side.

At least you wouldn’t have to be so exhausted.

You’re already outstanding enough.

The tenderness that brimmed in Lin Yu’s eyes couldn’t be contained by his eyelids.

He said softly, "I’m not tired, I just want to quickly, more quickly, get back to your side, and be good enough to deserve you, to make your parents feel at ease."

Under such circumstances, Lin Yu truly didn’t feel the exhaustion.

How tired could it be? There were so many people in the world, many living lives more strenuous and wearisome than his.

Though he wasn’t the luckiest, he also wasn’t the most unfortunate.

It was in Lin Yu’s nature not to complain about life.

Just as Grandma said, with the time spent complaining, you could accomplish a lot.

Yet at this moment, his heart couldn’t help but feel a bit of discomfort.

It was better not seeing her, but after seeing her, he felt uncomfortable.

After a hug, he would have to send them away in a few days.

This was inherently cruel.

The two embraced in silence, and Liu Ou said once more, "I really regret it."

These words were only spoken today.

The following days when they went out to play were still very joyful.

While Lin Yu was in class, Liu Ou would take Grandma to either watch TV at home,

or to stroll and shop nearby.

Actually, Grandma herself didn’t like traveling, so she didn’t have a strong desire to go out.

Liu Ou just accompanied her.

When they did go out, she brought her camera and took a lot of pictures.

When Lin Yu finished class, he would come find them.

The three of them walked and stopped, leaving behind many photos and videos.

The smiles on everyone’s faces were brilliant.

Until the sixth day of the new year, it was time for them to return.

Liu Ou had deliberately booked tickets for the sixth because Lin Yu had a full day of classes.

She and Grandma meant that there was no need for a send-off.

Saying goodbye would just make all three of them upset.

But Lin Yu still took the morning off.

He insisted on taking them to the airport, despite being scolded by Grandma for it.

Liu Ou watched him, left standing alone in the original spot,

quietly watching them leave.

At that moment, Liu Ou thought, she truly regretted it. Even Lin Yu, who stayed in China, was excellent enough...

Then, she murmured to Luo Yanran, "Luoluo, I wish I hadn’t been so ’magnanimous’ before, then he wouldn’t be left alone abroad."

On the other end, Luo Yanran fell silent for a moment before sighing softly, "But this wasn’t solely your choice, you just couldn’t bear to leave Hai Ou."

Liu Ou laughed at herself, "Yeah, I just couldn’t bear it. I want him to come back to my side sooner."

That way they could always be together.

Luo Yanran leaned gently against Xie Xiao, her eyes filled with pity for Lin Yu and Liu Ou, "Three years will pass by quickly, he will return to your side."

His ultimate destination is you after all.

Liu Ou on the other end also laughed, "I know, and before that, I also have to work even harder."

See, truly loving people, even if not together, are still working hard to become better.

Then they will always be moving forward in sync.

Distance can never separate us.

Because I know you have me in your heart.
