Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Chapter 168 I Will Always Love You

After the start of the junior year, there were fewer courses, and Lu Youning had no other social activities besides attending classes.

Apart from the required class activities and calligraphy and painting association activities, Lu Youning rarely takes the initiative to make new friends or to get together with classmates he is not familiar with.

Part of the reason was her personality, but mostly it was because she felt that those were useless social interactions.

Lu Youning spent most of his spare time in the library.

Then find a seat by the window and sit down quietly to read.

Or I would sit in the library with my computer and write, often for hours.

Ruan Fuxi and a few friends rented a small office, set up a makeshift team, and started their entrepreneurial journey.

He is extremely busy every day and sometimes even works overtime on weekends. Although Lu Youning feels distressed when she sees him doing so, she will not stop him because that is his dream.

So I could only cook some delicious meals every day to nourish him.

During the National Day holiday, Lu Youning thought Ruan Fuxi would work overtime, but he said he would take her to Q City for a trip.

After Lu Yixiao and Gu Siyuan knew about it, they also wanted to go with them, under the pretext of reminiscing about the time they spent playing at the beach.

Although Lu Youning thought the reason was far-fetched, he agreed. They agreed to meet directly in Qingdao and booked the same hotel.

As soon as they met, Lu Youning and Lu Yixiao hugged each other excitedly.

"Ahhh! Ningning, you're finally here. I arrived at noon." Lu Yixiao hugged Lu Youning tightly, her voice full of joy.

"I missed you so much. It feels like we haven't been out together for a long time."

Lu Youning hugged her, and a smile tinged her tone, "I miss you too!"

Afterwards, they sat down on the sofa in the hotel lobby hand in hand and started chatting animatedly, completely ignoring the two boys they had left behind.

Ruan Fuxi stood aside with two pieces of luggage, watching. Gu Siyuan walked over helplessly and said, "Brother Xi, why did they leave us aside as soon as they met?"

Ruan Fuxi shrugged slightly, but there was a doting smile on her face, "Let them be, it's rare to be so happy." After that, she pulled her luggage to the front desk to check in.

Gu Siyuan put his hands on his hips and said, "Okay, let them talk." Then he followed Ruan Fuxi and chatted while waiting for the formalities to be processed.

Soon, Ruan Fuxi finished registering, took the room card, turned to Gu Siyuan and said, "Brother, please do me a favor later."

Gu Siyuan agreed without even thinking, "No problem, what can I do for you?"

Ruan Fuxi pushed the luggage to the side where there were fewer people and spoke in a low voice.

After hearing this, Gu Siyuan's face showed a look of surprise and excitement. He patted Ruan Fuxi's shoulder vigorously and said in a low voice: "Okay, Brother Xi, this is quite sudden, but don't worry, Xiaoxiao and I promise to complete the task."

"OK, please!"

After finishing their conversation, they walked to the sofa. Gu Siyuan smiled and said, "Sister Ning, Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about?"

Lu Yixiao glared at him and said, "Don't ask about girls' affairs."

Gu Siyuan replied helplessly: "Okay, I won't ask anymore, Auntie."

Lu Youning couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the two interact. She looked up at Ruan Fuxi and said apologetically, "Sorry, I was just busy chatting with Xiaoxiao. Have you checked in?"

Ruan Fuxi raised the key in his hand, said softly, "Let's put our luggage away first, rest for a while, and come down to eat later."

Afterwards, the four of them went upstairs together. The rooms were on the same floor, but quite far apart.

Ruan Fuxi swiped his card to open the door, then put his luggage aside and asked, "Are you tired?"

Lu Youning smiled and shook her head, tossed her bag aside, and fell back onto the bed, "Not bad."

Ruan Fuxi looked at her comfortable appearance and lay down beside her. He turned sideways and took her into his arms. "Then will you take a nap with me for a while?"

Lu Youning knew that he had been working overtime recently and was very tired. She rested her head on his arm and replied softly, "Okay."

Ruan Fuxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, tightened his arms around her, gently put his face on the top of her head, slowly closed his eyes, and soon, the sound of even breathing could be heard.

Lu Youning turned her head slightly and looked at his peaceful sleeping face. There was still some fatigue between his eyebrows even in his sleep. She felt distressed and moved more gently, for fear of disturbing him.

Time passed quietly, and Lu Youning also felt sleepy in this warm embrace. Her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she fell asleep unknowingly.

After an unknown amount of time, the light coming through the window turned dim.

Ruan Fuxi woke up slowly and looked at Lu Youning who was still sleeping in his arms, his eyes full of doting. He gently brushed away a few strands of hair in front of her forehead and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Lu Youning whimpered, slowly opened her eyes, and seeing Ruan Fuxi standing nearby, she murmured softly, "Xixi, what time is it?"

"It's about five o'clock. Let's get up, wash up, and go eat later."

Lu Youning stretched and turned over to sit up. "Okay, have we slept for that long?"

They went to the bathroom together to wash their faces and then went out.

They waited downstairs for a few minutes, and Gu Siyuan and Lu Yixiao also came down.

Q City is a coastal city, and seafood is the most abundant thing. They decided to try the local seafood feast as their first meal here.

The four of them walked along the street, visited a popular restaurant, and ordered a table full of seafood.

Sure enough, if you want to eat seafood, you have to go to seaside cities, where it is cheap and fresh.

After dinner, the four of them strolled slowly along the beach. The climate in Q City in October was the most pleasant, with the sea breeze blowing gently, seagulls circling low in the sky and crying, enjoying the afterglow of the sunset.

"Wow, so comfortable and beautiful!" Lu Youning couldn't help but exclaim.

She couldn't help but take out her cell phone, pulled Ruan Fuxi to stand by the railing, and took several photos with the sunset and the sea as the background.

"We want to shoot too." Lu Yixiao said as she pulled Gu Siyuan over.

They took a few selfies first, and then found a passerby nearby to help take a few photos.

The four of them were leaning on the railing, and the two boys were hugging their girlfriends, with happy and comfortable smiles on their faces.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, covering them with a layer of warm orange gauze, making the picture beautiful and warm.

After taking the photo, the four of them leaned on the railing and looked at the sea in the distance, unconsciously recalling their trip to Hainan when they took the college entrance examination.

"I remember the last time the four of us traveled together was the year we graduated from high school." Gu Siyuan suddenly said.

"Time flies. It was three years ago." Lu Yixiao also sighed.

"I miss us back then too." Lu Youning said with a smile.

"I hope we can be like this in the future." Ruan Fuxi took Lu Youning's hand and said softly.

Gu Siyuan shouted into the distance: "I wish us all happiness!"

The sound was carried far away by the sea breeze.

"Haha, of course I will!" Lu Yixiao responded loudly, with a bright smile on her face and her eyes full of longing for the future.

Lu Youning shook Ruan Fuxi's hand vigorously, turned to look at him, and the two smiled at each other, with the same determination and expectation in their smiles.

Then, Lu Youning also raised her voice and shouted, "No matter how much time passes, our friendship will never change!"

Ruan Fuxi continued: "I will always love you!"

“Ahhh! Ahhhh!”

Their shouting startled a flock of seagulls and attracted the attention of passers-by.

Lu Youning pulled Ruan Fuxi and ran. Gu Siyuan and Lu Yixiao smiled at each other and hurriedly caught up.

The four figures shuttled back and forth on the seaside trail, the sea breeze blew past their ears, carrying the scent of the sea and their laughter drifting away into the distance.
