Chapter 233: Actually, I Want to Kiss You Goodbye
The car stopped at the entrance of the girls’ dormitory. Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao, still inside the car, remained silent.
In front of the main gate, couples said their reluctant goodbyes one after another. The dormitory aunt urged the students to hurry inside, as the gate was about to close.
“Senior Student Ziyi, I… I’m going up now. Thank you.” Ye Chuxiao turned to open the car door, but Lu Ziyi grasped her wrist.
Ye Chuxiao was startled, her eyes widening. In the dim car, the two looked at each other, their eyes shining brightly, as if they had endless words to say, yet… they didn’t know how to express them.
The dormitory aunt’s loud voice called out again, this time calling out names: “Ye Chuxiao, hurry up, the gate is closing! Lu Ziyi, if you want to date, come back early tomorrow!”
The students around the main gate were amused by the dormitory aunt’s words and looked towards Lu Ziyi’s car.
Not many students at the university owned cars, and Lu Ziyi often drove Ye Chuxiao back, so everyone basically recognized his car.
Ye Chuxiao, whose name was called, felt embarrassed and lowered her head slightly, saying, “I’m going up now, Senior Student Ziyi.”
“Xiaoxiao,” Lu Ziyi didn’t let go. He gazed intently into Ye Chuxiao’s eyes and said in a low, clear voice, “I love you, Xiaoxiao! No matter how many people love you, I will never give up!”
“Senior Student Ziyi…” Ye Chuxiao choked up. She knew how sincere he was, how good he was to her!
A jumble of emotions welled up in her heart. After a while, Ye Chuxiao said softly, “Thank you, Senior Student Ziyi! I…”
“Go on up, Xiaoxiao.” Lu Ziyi placed his hand on Ye Chuxiao’s head, gently stroking her soft hair, and said affectionately, “Sleep well, goodnight.”
“Mhm.” Ye Chuxiao smiled faintly.
Lu Ziyi released Ye Chuxiao’s hand.
Ye Chuxiao pushed open the car door, but then suddenly turned back and hugged Lu Ziyi, who was watching her get out.
In that instant, Lu Ziyi felt a warm body rush into his arms, soft, yet it seemed to make his heart tremble immensely!
Ye Chuxiao hugged him tightly, murmuring by Lu Ziyi’s ear, “Goodnight, Senior Student Ziyi!”
Before Lu Ziyi could react, Ye Chuxiao let go, got out of the car, and ran into the dormitory gate.
Lu Ziyi stared blankly in the direction Ye Chuxiao had run, and even after she disappeared, he remained… stunned.
The moment Xiaoxiao embraced him left a very deep imprint on his memory.
The night he wanted to propose to Xiaoxiao, she was drunk. She said she loved him, and he loved her just the same!
But love ultimately leads to marriage. Love can be between two people, but marriage involves two families.
Xiaoxiao grew up with Lin Chusheng. Lu Ziyi could easily imagine the parents of the Lin Family and the Ye Family expecting them to naturally fall in love and get married.
It was one thing for Lin Chusheng to voluntarily give up, but now he was saying with such conviction that he loved Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao’s family might prioritize Lin Chusheng and the Lin Family. They knew each other well and would likely prefer to entrust Xiaoxiao to Lin Chusheng and the Lin Family, wouldn’t they?
“Xiaoxiao,” Lu Ziyi’s heart felt as heavy as a mountain. He murmured, “I will work very, very hard to make your family believe that I can also give you a lifetime of happiness!”
Ye Chuxiao returned to the dormitory, her mood low and heavy. As soon as she entered, she heard Bai Qianqian exclaim with great joy, “Xiaoxiao, you didn’t even tell us such wonderful news first!”
