Li You shook her head. âThereâs no need to double-check.â
Pei Jingzhou asked her, âWhy?â
âBecauseâ¦â Li You turned around and smiled secretly. Seeing Pei Jingzhou following her, she immediately suppressed her smile. âBecause I know what Iâm doing. Why should 1 confirm it with you repeatedly?â
Pei Jingzhou murmured, âYouâd better know what to do.â
Huh? Donât believe her? Li You turned around and almost sprained her ankle. She quickly grabbed Pei Jingzhouâs arm, but Pei Jingzhou was faster than her. âYouâre always so rash.â
Li You retracted her hand and snorted. âIâve been rash since I was young. If Iâm rash now, Iâll be rash in the future. Itâs enough for you to suffer.â
Pei Jingzhou smiled imperceptibly. âPerhaps, but Iâm already prepared.â
Li You spoke at her own pace. For a moment, she could not keep up with Pei Jingzhouâs words. She was stunned for a moment before asking, âWhat are you prepared for?â
Pei Jingzhou said, âPrepare to suffer for life.â
As soon as he said this, Li You immediately stopped talking. She stared at Pei Jingzhou quietly for a few seconds, and the corners of her lips curled up crazily. Then, she said in a serious tone, âOh, then youâre really unlucky.â
Pei Jingzhou said, âA little.â
Li You became more and more addicted to acting. â1 pity you for three seconds.â
Pei Jingzhou thought about it seriously and said, âIsnât three seconds too little? A lifetime is a long time. You have to sympathize for at least ten seconds.â
Li Youâs expression was strange. âItâs not impossible.â
Pei Jingzhou rubbed her head. âRemember to wait for me in the afternoon.â
Li You did not resist Pei Jingzhouâs touch at all. She answered his question and asked, âWhere will I wait for you?â
âClassroom.â
âThen which hotpot restaurant are we going to?â âThe hotpot restaurant youâve praised countless times.â
âIs there anyone else?â
âWho else do you want to invite?â
âHotpot has to have more people, the more the merrier.â There was silence after that. Pei Jingzhou did not speak. Li You sensed that Pei Jingzhou was in a bad mood. She moved closer to him and smiled ingratiatingly. âItâs noisy with too many people.â
Pei Jingzhou snorted. âDidnât you just say that the more the merrier?â
Li You said, âYou didnât hear me clearly. I clearly said that itâs noisy when there are too many people. My head will be buzzing with noise.â
Pei Jingzhou did not expose her, but the smile on his lips became even gentler. The two of them had known each other for a long time. After Li You turned ten years old, she did not like to bicker with Pei Jingzhou.
Because Pei Jingzhou would give in to her every time, as time passed, Li You felt that she was the one bullying Pei Jingzhou. It seemed that she was the only one who could bully Pei Jingzhou?!
She was overjoyed.
Later on, she found out that every love blossoms in her life was pinched by Pei Jingzhou. The apples in her drawer were always placed by Pei Jingzhou when he came to her classroom in the morning. She participated in sports and broke her leg. Pei Jingzhou carried her for a month and seven daysâ¦
As long as they were in the same school, they could see each other almost every day.
However, because Pei Jingzhou was two years older than her, during the two years after Pei Jingzhou took the college entrance examination and left school, Li You thought about him all the time, even though the university he chose was not far from her high school.
It was unknown if it was because of her. Pei Jingzhouâs original life path was to study in England, but he changed his mind after the college entrance examination.
He chose to stay in the Capital University.
Li You was only 17 years old when she graduated from high school.
This year, Li Huaisheng happened to be going to the embassy in Country T.
MO Zhu would also go to Country T with Li Huaisheng. Before that, MO Zhu had been the mayor of Shen City for several years. During the three years that Li You was in high school, MO Zhu had been at home.
Li Huaisheng would be gone for several years. If MO Zhu went with him, it meant that if Li You stayed in the capital alone, she would not be able to stay by her parentsâ side for the next few years.
When Guan Suling found out that her son-in-law had gone to Country T for work, it was understandable for her daughter to go with him. However, she wanted to keep her granddaughter, Li You, behind. Otherwise, when she went to Country T, she could only look forward to Li You returning to the country at the end of the year.
On this day, Guan Suling specially came to the Li Mansion. After discussing with Li Huaisheng and MO Zhu, she finally decided to ask Li You what she thought.
âLittle You, have you thought it through?â MO Zhu looked at Li You, who was sitting opposite her, and asked gently.
In the huge living room, Li You was sitting alone at the side. Guan Suling was sitting at the side, while MO Zhu and Li Huaisheng were sitting on the sofa opposite Li You.
Li You heard her motherâs words, but she did not answer. She was silent, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Li Huaisheng cleared his throat and shouted, âLi You!â
Li You slowly raised her eyes. Her stuttering voice sounded muffled. âl, 1, I havenât thought about it.â
Guan Suling got up and sat beside Li You. She pulled Li Youâs hand and held it tightly in her palm. âThen letâs not leave the country. Can you stay with Grandma in the MO Residence?â
Li You looked at her hopeful grandmother and then at her parents sitting opposite her. She did not feel relaxed at all. Instead, she felt even more depressed.
MO Zhu seemed to have seen something. She stood up and walked over to Li
You. âCome with me. I want to ask you something.â
Li Youâs heart skipped a beat. Looking at her motherâs serious expression, she knew that she had to go. She slowly stood up and followed MO Zhu outside.
The night was just right. The ground that had been roasted during the day would only feel a little cold at night. There were only Li You and MO Zhu here. Li You was not as nervous as before. It was mainly because in front of her mother, she could confess some secrets.
MO Zhu asked with a gentle smile, âWhatâs the reason for your hesitation?â
Li You stammered, âDonât you⦠know?â
mo zhu sala, âI want co near you cell me yourself.â
Letting her say it herself was a little embarrassing for the process. She debated and mulled over how to say it was appropriate,
MO Zhu stepped forward and reached out. She pressed her palm against Li
Youâs chin and raised her face a little. âLook at your mother when you speak. Donât keep your head lowered. Say whatever you want.â
Li You looked at her mother squarely. âActually, I donât really want to go to
Country T.â
Nio Zhu smiled. âThen donât go.â
Li Youâs tone became a little anxious. âBut if I donât go to Country T, I can only see you guys once a year.â
MO Zhu asked, âYour worry is that you donât want to go to Country T, but you donât want to be separated from us for too long. You want both.â
Li You nodded vigorously. âYes, yes.â
âSilly girl, how can there be so many things that can be the best of both worlds?â When MO Zhu said this, her expression was as gentle as water. She turned around and raised her face slightly to look at the night sky.
Li You walked around to MO Zhu. âI canât bear to leave the capital, but I canât bear to leave you guys either. Although⦠although Grandma is by my side, thatâs different.â
Nio Zhu smiled and asked, âWhatâs different?â
Li You lowered her eyes. âl want to stay by your side.â
MO Zhu said, âThen come overseas with us.â Li You hesitated.. âButâ¦
