Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Chapter 156 Renting a House

The weekend arrived in a blink of an eye. Lu Youning dressed up specially and arrived at the interview location early.

Ruan Fuxi knew a few days ago that Lu Youning was going to be interviewed, so he came with her today. However, he did not enter the office and waited outside.

She knocked gently on the door. A voice called "Come in" came from inside. She pushed the door open and saw the members of the Propaganda Department busy making final preparations.

Lin Jiajia was among them, and she winked at Lu Youning, "Youning, come in quickly."

Department Head Yang Siyu came forward with a warm smile on her face. "So you know Jiajia, you know me? If I had known, I would have asked Jiajia to invite you. We'll be ready soon, so you can sit down for a while."

Lu Youning nodded slightly in thanks, "We are roommates." Then he sat down on a chair beside him.

She looked around and found that the walls of the office were covered with photos of various campus activities and excellent promotional posters, full of youthful vitality and creativity.

Soon, preparations were complete. Yang Siyu sat across from Lu Youning, turned on the recording device, and officially began the interview:

"Student Lu Youning, first I'd like to ask you to recall: what was your first reaction when you learned that you would be competing in calligraphy with the exchange students?"

Lu Youning gathered her thoughts briefly and replied, "Actually, I was quite surprised when I first heard about it, and a little nervous. After all, this is a competition between the school and the exchange students."

……

After the interview, Yang Siyu turned off the recording device, stood up, and thanked Lu Youning again: "Thank you very much for taking the time to accept our interview. Your sharing will surely bring a lot of inspiration and encouragement to the students."

Lu Youning also responded with a smile: "You're welcome. I hope this can be helpful to everyone."

Yang Siyu extended a friendly invitation: "I'm sorry to bother you to come over this weekend. I'll treat you to a meal."

Lu Youning smiled shyly and declined, "My boyfriend is waiting for me downstairs."

Yang Siyu laughed and joked, "Oh, so your boyfriend is here too. Didn't the post I posted a few days ago disappear? I suspect it was him who did it."

A member of the Propaganda Department said, "Minister, I'm sure it's him."

"That's because someone is thinking about his girlfriend." Another classmate said this and everyone laughed.

Lu Youning also laughed a few times, wondering why he was teasing her again. So she changed the subject and asked, "So the video of the competition that day was taken by a senior."

Yang Siyu explained: "Yes, this is my work habit."

"Well, I'll be leaving first. Bye." Lu Youning said and turned to leave the office.

As soon as I walked downstairs, I saw Ruan Fuxi standing under a tree. The sunlight shone on him through the gaps in the leaves, outlining a warm silhouette.

Ruan Fuxi saw Lu Youning and immediately smiled brightly. She came over and asked, "Is the interview over? Are you tired?"

Lu Youning gently took her boyfriend's arm and said, "It's okay. We just talked about calligraphy and competitions."

Ruan Fuxi looked at her gently: "You have always been the best in my heart, whether it is calligraphy or other aspects."

Lu Youning smiled shyly and asked, "Where are we going now?"

Ruan Fuxi said mysteriously, "I'll take you to a place."

The two left the school gate and took a taxi for about ten minutes to arrive at a residential complex.

The two stopped in front of a house and Ruan Fuxi took out the key.

With the crisp sound of unlocking, the door slowly opened and he stepped aside to let Lu Youning in first.

Lu Youning stepped into the house and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

"The house I rented."

Lu Youning was puzzled: "Why do you want to rent a house outside?"

"There's no particular reason. I was working on programming with my senior a while ago and often stayed up late, which always disturbed Liang Mufeng and the others' rest, so I wanted to rent a house."

Lu Youning nodded, then looked at the house carefully.

This is a house with an area of ​​about 80 square meters, two bedrooms and a living room. Although the space is not very spacious, the layout is compact and reasonable.

The south-facing master bedroom has a small balcony, and sunlight pours in unreservedly, making the whole room bright and warm.

A soft large bed occupies most of the space in the master bedroom. There is a dressing table next to the bed and a solid wood wardrobe near the door.

The second bedroom is relatively small and has been converted into a study. Opposite the second bedroom is the bathroom, and the living room is connected to the kitchen.

Although the whole house is not big, every corner is full of the breath of life and the warmth of home.

Ruan Fuxi pulled Lu Youning to sit on his lap, staring at her, and said, "How about it, do you want to live with me?"

"No, I don't want to move out for the time being." Lu Youning refused.

Ruan Fuxi's eyes darkened instantly. Although he had already anticipated that she might not agree, a sense of loss still surged in his heart involuntarily, and he lowered his eyes slightly.

Lu Youning looked at his lost look and felt a little sorry for him. She reached out and gently stroked Ruan Fuxi's face, her fingertips sliding over the contours of his cheek. She said in a gentle tone, "How about I occasionally stay here on weekends, and stay in the dormitory during classes on weekdays?"

Ruan Fuxi's eyes lit up instantly, like dim stars regaining their brilliance. He held Lu Youning's hand tightly, his voice filled with surprise and unconcealable joy: "Really? Not forcing it?"

Lu Youning laughed and patted his arm, "I'm happy to do it. No pressure."

Ruan Fuxi excitedly hugged Lu Youning into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and murmured, "Thank you!"

Lu Youning hugged him back, smiling and saying, "You're welcome!"

Then, Ruan Fuxi let her go and put the key he had prepared long ago into her hand. "Here, Ningning, today is the weekend."

"Yeah." Lu Youning pursed her lips shyly, reached out to take the key and put it in her bag.

"Are all the things in the room new ones you bought?" Lu Youning asked curiously, thinking about the new quilt she had just seen when she visited the room.

Ruan Fuxi nodded slightly, with a hint of tenderness and doting in her eyes: "Well, most of them are newly purchased. The only things left are the kitchen utensils and bathroom supplies."

Lu Youning stood up from his arms and said, "Then let's go buy some dishes and daily necessities."

Ruan Fuxi stood up happily and said, "Okay, let's go, we'll go have lunch first." Then he took Lu Youning's hand and they walked out of the house together.

The two first found a restaurant to have lunch, and then went to a nearby supermarket to buy some plates, bowls, chopsticks, and other kitchen utensils.

After buying kitchen utensils, they went to the daily necessities area and bought toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, shower gel and other items.

When the two passed by the clothing area, Lu Youning remembered that there were no pajamas in the rented house, so she pulled Ruan Fuxi to the pajamas area.
