Tea-flavored Romance

"Let's go, weren't you the one who kept urging me to come?"

"I don't want to go anymore..."

"Alright, stop being childish." Ning Yuan reached out and hugged the girl's waist, skillfully placing her small hands on his waist, and kissed her red lips: "At most, I'll give you a chance to tell them some information you haven't heard of before after we get there."

"Can I say that you pursued me?" Lu Jiujiu asked, looking up.

"Of course, didn't I pursue you before?"

"But I always felt I agreed too quickly... and then I still couldn't..."

Ning Yuan then kissed the girl's warm lips again and chuckled, "Alright, it's time to go, or those people will say we're being arrogant and late."

Lu Jiujiu nodded obediently, and the two naturally took hands after parting. They walked downstairs side by side to the parking lot. Although they chatted intermittently along the way, the girl's expression clearly showed that she still had something on her mind.

As Ning Yuan leaned over to fasten Lu Hanhan's seatbelt in the passenger seat, she finally couldn't help but say, "Maybe we shouldn't say too much..."

"what happened?"

“Your status is different now. If many people know that you have a girlfriend, and they admit it to you in person, it will have an impact on you.”

Ning Yuan laughed upon hearing this, reaching out to pinch the girl's slightly chubby cheeks: "What are you thinking about all day long? You're my girlfriend, and that's the answer I'll give to anyone who asks. I'm busy making money every day so I can bring you home."

"Aren't I staying at your house the whole time?"

The girl's pure and lovely eyes stared at him without blinking. This gaze made Master Ning feel a little guilty, so he could only gently kiss the girl's forehead and explain:

“I mean openly and honestly, bringing you home in front of your old man.”

"Oh~ Are you afraid he'll hit you?"

"I wouldn't say I'm scared, although I am, but not that scared... cough cough... never mind, let's hurry up and set off, or I'll have to punish myself with three drinks later."

I was scared, but not completely scared.

The car drove through the traffic, and since there was still some time before rush hour, it barely stopped. The scenery passing by was mostly decorated with balloons and ribbons. Lu Jiujiu gazed longingly at the crowds and decorations on the street, and remarked:

"It seems quite lively outside today."

"Huh? Is today June 1st?" Master Ning, who had stopped at a traffic light, looked at the Children's Day banners and decorations on the street with a strange expression and said, "What kind of genius came up with the idea of ​​a gathering on Children's Day? A bunch of adults having a class reunion?"

"Oh, is today Children's Day?"

"uh-huh."

"So many children...that's wonderful."

Ning Yuan turned to look at his girlfriend, who was smiling at a group of children by the roadside, her expression seemingly radiating maternal warmth.

So it's true that girls all go through this stage when they reach a certain age? But seriously, he's only in his early twenties, it can't be that bad, right?

He couldn't help but gently place his hand on the back of the girl's hand and whisper, "We'll have children someday too."

Lu Jiujiu withdrew her gaze and slowly typed a question mark.

?

"What are you talking about? I just think their toys are really fun."

"..."

Ning Yuan turned his head away in anger and embarrassment. The light turned green, and he stepped on the gas and sped through the block.

"You were just saying..."

"I do not have."

"But you just said that."

"I do not have."

Lu Jiujiu looked at her boyfriend pitifully, and anyone who saw such pure and lovely eyes would probably be unable to refuse her request. Master Ning was stared at by her for a while and quickly gave in, sighing helplessly and covering his face, saying, "Okay, okay... I misunderstood just now... Let's stop at KFC later and I'll buy you a toy meal."

Lu Jiujiu: ヾ(゜▽゜ゞ)

Although it's not the answer I wanted, it seems alright this way.

It seems that even if I set off early, I still couldn't avoid the self-punishment of drinking three cups in the end... But there's nothing I can do, my girlfriend is just so adorable.

So what if it's Children's Day? Doesn't this just show that my girlfriend still has a childlike heart?

With this in mind, Master Ning had to temporarily change his route and go to a fast food restaurant. He bought a toy meal and gave it to a brother and sister, with Lu Jiujiu naturally taking the toy with her. The brother and sister seemed to have expected this good thing, and they argued fiercely over a piece of original recipe chicken.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied~"

"Let's go, those guys are probably here already... We need to hurry."

The consequence of changing the route at the last minute was naturally being late. Fortunately, Ning Yuan was already mentally prepared for this. He took Hanhan upstairs and drank three glasses of wine as soon as they stepped into the private room.

"Boss Ning is very generous."

"Ning Ge is awesome... His domineering aura hasn't diminished at all! Even after becoming a celebrity, he hasn't changed a bit! Awesome!"

"Based on this level of awareness, I'll let it go for now that you're late..."

A group of old classmates quickly gathered around, creating a lively atmosphere. Lu Jiujiu was also soon pulled aside by the girls to chat.

Girls who have been separated for a long time usually exclaim in surprise when they meet again, jokingly teasing each other about how thinner or more beautiful they've become. But Lu Jiujiu was different...

Girls: Staring...

"Jiujiu, have you grown a little bit more...?"

"Yes, you can't tell on the surface, but I could feel it when we hugged just now..."

99: "It's a mistake, a misperception..."

The silly guy's inner monologue: It's all Ning Yuan's fault!

As the classmates gradually arrived, the lively chatter and laughter quickly brought the gathering to a climax. Ning Yuan and Lu Jiujiu sat next to each other as usual, and the others were used to this and showed no surprise.

These two were already this outrageous in high school! What's even stranger is that they started dating so late!

"Hey, why hasn't our teacher arrived yet?"

"Our old teacher is teaching a graduating class this year, but something came up and he can't make it, so we old classmates will have a get-together today, and we'll organize his gathering later..."

"Such a thing exists?" Master Ning said regretfully, "I was just thinking about reminiscing about my youth."

"Today isn't about reminiscing about your youth. We invited you here specifically to satisfy our curiosity... Come on, tell us about the entertainment industry. Has that diva actually been in a relationship?"

"Why ask about the diva? I'd like to ask... what's that up-and-coming actress like?"

A group of animals surrounded Master Ning, gossiping about the latest happenings in the entertainment industry. This scene caught him off guard, and he wondered if this was really a proper class reunion. Why didn't they talk about their own recent situations first, but instead cared more about these strange gossips?

We're men, shouldn't we talk about sensitive topics? Like the situation in the Middle East? Let's be bold and outspoken, young men! Is it proper for men not to discuss important matters?

Fake high school reunion: showing off and backstabbing, flaunting wealth and competing for power.

A real high school reunion: Holy crap, awesome! Yuan, say more, and I'll be bragging to my girlfriend when I get back.

Lu Jiujiu was surrounded by a group of girls, holding hands and seemingly chatting. However, she was holding a glass of juice instead of red wine or beer like the others.

"Hey~ Jiu Jiu, you still don't dare to drink?"

Lu Hanhan blushed: "I won't drink anymore... I can't just drink anything."

Everyone burst into laughter, seemingly recalling the story of their high school graduation dinner. Someone couldn't help but joke, "So, they've finally made it to the altar?"

"That's great! To be honest, I was a little surprised when Ning Yuan admitted it so readily. Normally, someone like him who's been in the entertainment industry for a while would hide his relationship, right?"

"What's there to hide? I think they had feelings for each other back in high school. From school uniforms to wedding dresses, it was so romantic."

They chatted back and forth, gradually drawing Lu Jiujiu's thoughts back to that simple and beautiful age in her memories. She felt as if she weren't in a hotel room, and the people around her weren't dressed in formal or casual clothes, but rather in blue and white school uniforms, sitting together in a classroom studying. The overhead fan whirred, and Ning Yuan sat beside her as always, shamelessly propping his chin up while doing his homework…

Many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The class reunion quickly ended in a pleasant atmosphere. After declining the invitations from the others to go singing together, Lu Jiujiu and Ning Yuan walked hand in hand down the street as night fell.

"I had a lot of fun at the gathering today. My classmates haven't changed at all."

"Um……"

"It's a pity I didn't get to see our homeroom teacher. He used to investigate our relationship. I wonder what his reaction will be if he sees us together now."

"Um……"

"Why are you staring at me?" Ning Yuan noticed the girl's unusual behavior, gently squeezed her small hand, and turned to meet Lu Jiujiu's clear and bright gaze.

"what happened?"

Lu Jiujiu shook her head, her eyes sparkling: "It's nothing."

So, in other people's eyes, Ningyuan and I already had that kind of relationship?

From school uniforms to wedding dresses... can we really do it?

Wedding dresses... getting married... these things don't seem so far away anymore.

If that's the case, then wouldn't other things also naturally follow the same pattern?

"Ningyuan~"

"Ok?"

Lu Jiujiu pointed to the Children's Day decorations by the roadside. Master Ning said helplessly, "We've already bought one toy, we can't buy a second one."

"I don't want toys this time," Lu Jiujiu said softly, blinking.

Master Ning was slightly taken aback, then gradually came to his senses...

You don't want a toy? You should have said so earlier.

……

"Ningyuan! Hurry up~ Ugh..."

"Okay, okay, it'll be out soon."

"But you just said that."

"That was just now, but now it's really almost out... And speaking of Jiu Bao, this really can't be rushed."

"Oh……"
