Su Xiaoqiang was somewhat heartbroken. Compared to Xia Mi, he realized that he, who had been Xia Mi's deskmate for two years, was actually an outsider.

As expected, childhood sweethearts are no match for those born under the heavens.

"Since that's the case, you and Xia Mi can live together! I can't study as well as you, I'm not worthy to be your friend!" Su Xiaoqiang said this harshly, stormed off, and got into her car.

Upon seeing this, Lu Mingfei quickly stepped forward to explain.

As a result, Xia Mi grabbed his sleeve. When he turned around, he saw Xia Mi pursing her lips, her eyelashes trembling, looking pitiful as if she was terrified that Lu Ming would leave her.

Master Lu was immediately bewitched by the enchantress Xia Mi, and he couldn't bring himself to push her away.

It was during that moment of hesitation that the Rolls-Royce started up and sped away.

Aunt Liu was hoping Lu Mingfei hadn't gotten into the car. She couldn't imagine the master's expression if the young lady had taken Lu Mingfei home.

I'm afraid even tomorrow's sun won't be as warm as his.

Chu Zihang remained silent. He was wrong. Lu Mingfei's problem wasn't that he was popular; rather, he was just attracting unwanted attention from women.

Chu Zihang could understand what it felt like to be liked by many girls, but he was chaste and kept himself pure, never having any further interaction or contact with any girls.

For example, Xia Mi was quite enthusiastic towards Chu Zihang before, but now Chu Zihang doesn't connect Xia Mi with the cheerleading captain.

I have absolutely no face blindness.

Chu Zihang couldn't help Lu Mingfei with this either. He sighed inwardly and said, "Mingfei, I'll take you home."

He noticed that Xia Mi had arrived by taxi.

Lu Mingfei was moved and even thought about going to his senior brother's house to bother him, but he remembered that his senior brother's family was a blended family and he was not very clear about the family atmosphere. What if he went there and made his senior brother feel awkward?

Oh well, it's all fate.

He was destined to share a room with Teacher Da Ye—no, I mean, to share the rent.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons as she thanked Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang replied that he wouldn't be polite.

Xia Mi gave an address and sat in the back row.

Lu Mingfei sat in the passenger seat, feeling somewhat awkward and uncomfortable being alone with Xia Mi.

It was his senior brother who put his mind at ease.

While Chu Zihang was ostensibly driving, he was actually brainstorming, thinking about how to help Lu Mingfei.

He owes Lu Ming a favor, so it's reasonable for him to offer advice and help with his relationship.

It's definitely not because of gossip.

After thinking it over, Lu Mingfei went to school to figure out how to explain things to Qiang Ge.

From Qiang Ge's perspective, she accidentally slipped and kissed Lu Mingfei this afternoon, and as a result, Lu Mingfei ended up sleeping with another girl that night.

(Living in the same house is called sleeping together. Miss Su's theory.)

What a scumbag he is!

Despite having only a brotherly relationship with Su Xiaoqiang, Lu Mingfei still felt like he wasn't human.

Actually, it's not so bad; Lu Mingfei will be even worse in the future.

Xia Mi lowered her head, the light from the window shining on her profile, making her seem somewhat silent and guilty.

Actually...

Hehe! I won!

Teacher Daye's inner self was laughing hysterically, hands on hips.

……

Chu Zihang escorted Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi to the entrance of the residential area, but didn't go up to sit for a while. It was almost dawn, so he told them to get some rest.

Lu Mingfei carried his backpack, and Xia Mi helped push his suitcase. The two of them took the elevator, pressed the stair button, and waited quietly for the elevator to go up.

After a moment, only Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi remained in the space. Apart from the faint sound of the stairs rising, it seemed that only their heartbeats and breathing could be heard...

awkward.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei realized that he was going to spend the night at a girl's house. It was impossible not to feel excited, but he was also nervous.

He was afraid that his lifestyle would clash with Xia Mi's.

It's similar to how couples in love travel together before getting married; distance makes the heart grow fonder.

No one is perfect. After living together, you will gradually see the flaws in your partner that were previously hidden.

Only by accepting shortcomings can we last.

Lu Mingfei never thought about living with Xia Mi for the rest of his life, which was during the year before he went to university.

After that, contact will gradually decrease, and feelings will gradually fade.

Inevitable.

Ding

The elevator doors slowly opened, and Xia Mi took out her key and pushed the door open first, followed closely by Lu Mingfei.

Xia Mi left the lights on; there was no need to save electricity for such a short time. She asked Lu Mingfei where she had put her suitcase.

Lu Mingfei said, "Put it wherever you think is suitable."

So Xia Mi said, "Let's go to your senior brother's room. Come with me."

Lu Mingfei's room was a small storage room, and everything was cleaned up, or rather, neatly stacked in the corner.

The room wasn't big; after putting in a bed and a table, there was basically no space left. Xia Mi thoughtfully brought her small fan from her room to Lu Mingfei's room.

She hadn't had time to buy a bed yet, so Xia Mi laid out several layers of thick bedding, along with a girly summer quilt.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry to trouble you to sleep on the floor first." Xia Mi clasped his hands together, feeling somewhat guilty.

"It's alright, it's alright," Lu Mingfei quickly waved his hand.

"I have some unopened toiletries for you to use, and towels too. Senior, think about what else we need, and we'll go buy it."

"I'm the kind of cactus that can survive with just a little water, thank you for your trouble, Professor Lao Daye," Lu Mingfei said sincerely.

Xia Mi pouted, "Alright then. Senior brother, get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"Mhm." Lu Mingfei nodded.

Xia Mi yawned, rubbed her eyes, said goodnight, turned and left the room to change into her little dinosaur pajamas.

Lu Mingfei gently closed the door, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed. The bedding was soft, and he could hardly feel the hardness of the floor.

This summer quilt also carried a faint scent of laundry detergent, as well as a certain subtle fragrance.

After all, it was a summer blanket that Xia Mi had used. Over time, even after washing, it would still retain her scent.

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, then folded the summer quilt and put it aside. It was summer anyway, so it didn't matter if he didn't have a quilt. He wasn't worried about catching a cold when the temperature dropped in the morning.

With his hands behind his head, Lu Mingfei still feels a sense of unreality.

Did he really escape his aunt's house and his "family of origin"?

But what happens after that?

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a little confused.

It's like a movie where the male and female leads run away from their wedding and board a bus. The camera pulls back for a long time, showing their faces going from joy to bewilderment.

After the happy and exciting moments are over, a sense of emptiness will remain.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei wasn't truly lost; he knew his goals.

Studying, living, finding parents.

Incidentally, this is to repay Teacher Daye for taking me in.

Although Xia Mi took the initiative to suggest living together, Lu Mingfei was still grateful to the girl for extending a helping hand to him, so that he wouldn't be left to drift alone.

Silent all night.

The sky is bright.

Before Lu Mingfei's biological alarm clock could wake him up, Xia Mi's knocking came at the door.

Lu Mingfei glanced at the time; it was 5:50 a.m., and Xia Mi was ten minutes earlier than him.

When Lu Mingfei got up and went out, he was even more surprised to find that Xia Mi had even prepared breakfast.

For breakfast, she had a simple bowl of plain white porridge with moderate calories, served with a side of crisp pickled vegetables. Xia Mi also peeled two soft, hard-boiled eggs and placed them in a small bowl.

"Xia Mi, what time did you get up?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"Five-thirty." Xia Mi replied immediately.

"So early."

"It's alright, there are plenty of people who get up earlier than me. As the old saying goes, the early bird catches the worm." Xia Mi smiled, "Senior brother, hurry up and wash your face and come eat."

Lu Mingfei hummed in agreement, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and noticed an unopened cup, toothpaste, and toothbrush on the sink. Remembering Xia Mi's words from last night, he felt a warmth in his heart.

Since Xia Mi had already said that, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to keep making excuses. Lu Mingfei was very straightforward and said he would buy Xia Mi another box of toothpaste when she was almost out.

The return doesn't have to be something tangible; something roughly the same is fine. Pay attention to small details. Living together isn't a long time, but it's not short either.

With time and adjustment, the relationship will naturally improve. Yes.

After washing up, it's time to eat.

Eating

Pickled vegetables are delicious, and plain porridge is tasty.

Lu Mingfei was in a good mood and drank two large bowls in a row.

Xia Mi cleared away the dishes and got up to wash them. Lu Mingfei went over to help, and this time Xia Mi didn't refuse, washing one bowl by herself.

"Oh right, I just remembered I took the day off yesterday, so I don't have to go to school today."
