Back to Kyoto

"Goodbye, uncle."

"We're leaving now. Old man, drink less at home."

Long Aotian and Hu Yuying, carrying their suitcases, said goodbye to the old man at the entrance of the compound.

"Take your time on the road. Call me on video when you get to Kyoto." After saying that, the old man waved his hand, indicating that they should take their time and not be in a hurry.

"Let's go."

Long Aotian reached out his hand to Hu Yuying.

"Okay."

They took a taxi and arrived at the station.

"We're leaving again." Standing at the station and turning to look outside, Hu Yuying said softly.

"Yeah..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a gust of wind behind him. Before he could react, he felt a heavy weight on his body and his eyes were covered at the same time.

Li Qingxue jumped on Long Aotian's back. With a smile on her delicate little face, she winked at Hu Yuying.

"Is it Qingxue? Why did you come?"

Even though his eyes were covered, he could guess it was Qingxue.

"You guessed it right!"

Li Qingxue let go of Long Aotian, jumped off his back, and quickly walked to Hu Yuying's side. "Let's go back to Kyoto together."

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Hu Yuying asked with a smile.

When they decided to leave early, Hu Yuying had called Li Qingxue.

At that time, Li Qingxue meant that her family would send her...

"Of course, it's thanks to my eloquence. I said that I'm old enough and should learn to be independent. Anyway, here I am now." Li Qingxue playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Where are your luggage?" Long Aotian looked at Li Qingxue and asked.

"Over there." Li Qingxue pointed in a direction.

Long Aotian looked over and saw two lonely suitcases. He went over and picked them up.

"Sister, this ring is so beautiful. Did Long Aotian give it to you?"

Li Qingxue looked at the ring on Hu Yuying's finger and asked softly.

"Yes." Gently stroking the ring on her finger, Hu Yuying's smiling eyes involuntarily looked at Long Aotian.

"Let's go buy some snacks. The train ride will take more than ten hours." Hu Yuying took back her gaze, took Li Qingxue's hand, and walked towards a nearby store.

"Okay. Sister, you don't know. I gained three catties during this Spring Festival. Oh no, it's so hard to lose weight..."

Hearing what Qingxue said, Hu Yuying subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

She also ate a lot during this Spring Festival. She didn't know how much weight she had gained. She also had to lose weight when she got back to Kyoto.

They bought tickets and waited for the train to depart!

After getting on the train, Long Aotian put away the three people's suitcases. When he turned around, he saw the two girls, each with a lollipop in their mouths, sitting cross - legged on the bunk, discussing what to eat first.

Meanwhile, Lin Wanning's video call came in.

The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted until the early hours of the morning.

As the sky gradually brightened completely and the train's speed gradually slowed down.

When the three of them stood at the bustling Kyoto Station again.

A young girl walked towards them. She had chestnut - colored wavy long hair, a tall figure, long legs, and a curvy butt. Her fair little face had a kind of coldness that was stunning at first sight, making people unforgettable at a glance.

"Wanning, why did you perm and dye your hair?"

The big change in her image really surprised Li Qingxue.

Lin Wanning stepped forward and held Li Qingxue's little face with both hands. "How about it? Is it nice? And do you miss me?"

Then she looked at Hu Yuying and Long Aotian. "You're finally back. I miss you so much."

"Of course, I missed you." Hu Yuying said with a smile.

The three girls always had endless things to talk about when they were together, especially when facing Lin Wanning with a completely different look.

Seeing this, Long Aotian, carrying four suitcases by himself, said, "How about we go home and talk first?"

On the way back.

Lin Wanning also explained that her current hairstyle was designed by the makeup artist when she participated in the last competition.

It was just a one - time styling designed by the makeup artist.

She also thought this styling was very nice, so she went to the barbershop with the makeup artist's styling and had her hair permed and dyed.

She also talked about some things about Shen Mengjie.

"Anyway, you can go back and see for yourself. She seems quite pitiful."

As she was speaking, they had already arrived at the alley entrance of the quadrangle courtyard.

They opened the courtyard gate.

They saw Shen Mengjie cleaning the yard.

At this moment, Shen Mengjie didn't show the former arrogance and frivolity.

She looked very plain.

Without the former aggressiveness, she instead gave people a feeling of fragility.

The bruise on the corner of her mouth hadn't disappeared even after several days.

One could imagine how badly she was injured at that time.

"Mengjie, we brought some local specialties from Haian City. Come and have a taste with us." Hu Yuying said softly.

"Come on, have a taste together." Lin Wanning also said.

After getting along for these days, they were quite familiar with each other. When Lin Wanning was styling her hair before, Shen Mengjie had also given some advice.

It wasn't that they got along extremely well, but it wasn't bad either.

Now that everyone was back, it would be lively from now on.

Especially Lin Wanning, who really missed Hu Yuying's cooking.

After some discussion.

Hu Yuying would cook, Li Qingxue would help, and Long Aotian, Lin Wanning, and Shen Mengjie would go out to buy groceries.

"You all have such a good relationship." Walking on the road, Shen Mengjie said softly.

"It's all about getting along and getting used to each other over time." Long Aotian said with a smile. Thinking of the past, if they wanted to cook at home, they would always be in a mess before they could have a meal.

But as they got along, things got better and better.

Long Aotian didn't ask about what had happened to Shen Mengjie.

Some things are better not known.

"I'll leave today." Shen Mengjie nodded slightly and said.

It was time to go back to school these days. People were gradually returning to school.

The dormitory was also open, and they could live in it.

"Okay. If you need any help from me, you can tell me."

"I really envy your life. It's so good." Shen Mengjie didn't answer Long Aotian's question directly, but said this with a smile.

"Haha, it's okay." Long Aotian also smiled. Such a life would probably be happy for anyone.

"Brother, come and help me carry the groceries." Lin Wanning's voice suddenly rang out.

"Coming." Long Aotian took two steps forward and took the groceries from Lin Wanning's hands.

"Brother, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Let's go and have a look at the meat."

After Lin Wanning said that, she glanced at Shen Mengjie from the corner of her eye.

Although she felt a little sympathetic towards Shen Mengjie, she still couldn't get over the fact that Shen Mengjie had taken secretly - taken photos and tried to assert her sovereignty before...
