Li You shook her head. “There’s no need to double-check.”
Pei Jingzhou asked her, “Why?”
“Because…” Li You turned around and smiled secretly. Seeing Pei Jingzhou following her, she immediately suppressed her smile. “Because I know what I’m doing. Why should 1 confirm it with you repeatedly?”
Pei Jingzhou murmured, “You’d better know what to do.”
Huh? Don’t believe her? Li You turned around and almost sprained her ankle. She quickly grabbed Pei Jingzhou’s arm, but Pei Jingzhou was faster than her. “You’re always so rash.”
Li You retracted her hand and snorted. “I’ve been rash since I was young. If I’m rash now, I’ll be rash in the future. It’s enough for you to suffer.”
Pei Jingzhou smiled imperceptibly. “Perhaps, but I’m already prepared.”
Li You spoke at her own pace. For a moment, she could not keep up with Pei Jingzhou’s words. She was stunned for a moment before asking, “What are you prepared for?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “Prepare to suffer for life.”
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, “Oh, then you’re really unlucky.”
Pei Jingzhou said, “A little.”
Li You became more and more addicted to acting. “1 pity you for three seconds.’
Pei Jingzhou thought about it seriously and said, “Isn’t three seconds too little? A lifetime is a long time. You have to sympathize for at least ten seconds.’
Li You’s expression was strange. “It’s not impossible.”
Pei Jingzhou rubbed her head. “Remember to wait for me in the afternoon.”
Li You did not resist Pei Jingzhou’s touch at all. She answered his question and asked, “Where will I wait for you?”
“Classroom.’
“Then which hotpot restaurant are we going to?” “The hotpot restaurant you’ve praised countless times.”
“Is there anyone else?”
“Who else do you want to invite?”
“Hotpot has to have more people, the more the merrier.” 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. “It’s noisy with too many people.”
Pei Jingzhou snorted. “Didn’t you just say that the more the merrier?”
Li You said, “You didn’t hear me clearly. I clearly said that it’s noisy when there are too many people. My head will be buzzing with noise.”
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 days…
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 Jingzhou’s 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 parents’ 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.
“Little You, have you thought it through?” 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 mother’s words, but she did not answer. She was silent, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Li Huaisheng cleared his throat and shouted, “Li You!”
Li You slowly raised her eyes. Her stuttering voice sounded muffled. “l, 1, I haven’t thought about it.”
Guan Suling got up and sat beside Li You. She pulled Li You’s hand and held it tightly in her palm. “Then let’s not leave the country. Can you stay with Grandma in the MO Residence?”
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. “Come with me. I want to ask you something.”
Li You’s heart skipped a beat. Looking at her mother’s 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, “What’s the reason for your hesitation?”
Li You stammered, “Don’t you… know?”
mo zhu sala, “I want co near you cell me yourself.”
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
You’s chin and raised her face a little. “Look at your mother when you speak. Don’t keep your head lowered. Say whatever you want.”
Li You looked at her mother squarely. “Actually, I don’t really want to go to
Country T.”
Nio Zhu smiled. “Then don’t go.”
Li You’s tone became a little anxious. “But if I don’t go to Country T, I can only see you guys once a year.”
MO Zhu asked, “Your worry is that you don’t want to go to Country T, but you don’t want to be separated from us for too long. You want both.”
Li You nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes.”
“Silly girl, how can there be so many things that can be the best of both worlds?” 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. “I can’t bear to leave the capital, but I can’t bear to leave you guys either. Although… although Grandma is by my side, that’s different.’
Nio Zhu smiled and asked, “What’s different?”
Li You lowered her eyes. “l want to stay by your side.”
MO Zhu said, “Then come overseas with us.’ Li You hesitated.. “But…
