Chapter 67
After the call with Lu Weize ended, I lay down against his flat abdomen.
I reopened his phone and found that it only had utility apps, with nothing entertaining.
"Let's go to the Palace Museum tomorrow, then have Peking duck, and in the afternoon we can shop for clothes at Xidan."
"Sounds good."
I lay on top of him, looking up at him. "Lu Weize, you're a rich second generation."
Lu Weize raised an eyebrow. "How do you know?"
I didn't tell him about my family's situation or my mother's debts.
I didn't want to distract him, nor did I want him to see how messy things were at home.
Lu Weize smiled. "My dad is wealthy, but I'm not."
I blinked. "Then you need to work hard to make money in the future, earn a lot of money."
"Okay, I'll earn a lot of money for you to spend."
"Mm!"
...
The next day, I took Lu Weize for a tour around S University.
There was a mural wall on campus filled with impromptu graffiti by art students.
I pulled Lu Weize over to show him.
As soon as Lu Weize stood there, he became the most striking sight.
So handsome!
The girls at the art academy turned their heads to look.
I didn't like letting Lu Weize be seen by other girls, so I wrapped my large scarf around him, covering part of his face, and hurriedly pulled him away.
As we walked, Lu Weize asked, "When you were in America, did any boys pursue you?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Really."
"I didn't either," Lu Weize said. "I was busy every day and had no time to interact with girls."
I was speechless.
Once we returned to the room, Lu Weize asked again, "During military training in freshman year, did a lot of boys pursue you?"
"Yes," I answered honestly.
"What did you say?"
"I said I had a boyfriend."
"And then?"
"Then they stopped contacting me."
Lu Weize leaned in and kissed the tip of my nose with satisfaction: "Good girl."
I wrapped my arms around his neck: "What about you? Did any girls pursue you?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Really," Lu Weize said, "I won't like anyone else but you."
I felt sweet inside.
Lu Weize looked at me and asked, "Have you run into any old classmates from Luzhou?"
I shook my head. "No."
His gaze became deep.
"I will always be yours," he said softly.
"I know."
Lu Weize gently kissed me.
But suddenly, he became rough again.
I felt a bit uncomfortable and struggled slightly.
Lu Weize released me and stared intently into my eyes. "You’re not lying to me, are you?"
I nodded firmly. "Lu Weize, I would never lie to you, never."
Lu Weize cupped my face and kissed me again.
This time, he was gentle and lingering.
I closed my eyes, lost in his kiss.
Lu Weize...
My Lu Weize.
...
The next day, I took Lu Weize to the Palace Museum.
I excitedly introduced him to the various palaces.
Lu Weize pretended to know nothing, looking like a curious baby.
I couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Weize shot me a glare: "What are you laughing at?"
I hugged his arm: "Lu Weize, I've noticed that your ability to play dumb is getting better and better."
"Do you like it?"
"Yeah!"
Chapter 68
In the afternoon, the two of them went shopping for clothes in Xidan.
Taking advantage of the discounts, I picked out several trendy brand outfits for Lu Weize and also bought two down jackets.
Lu Weize only let me buy one item; the rest were all paid for by him.
In the evening, they went to eat roast duck at Quanjude.
At the dinner table, I kept looking at their photos on my phone.
Suddenly, I noticed something and stared at Lu Weize.
Lu Weize looked confused: "What's wrong?"
I stood up, walked behind Lu Weize, took his hands, and gestured a bit.
To my surprise, I found that in every photo, his hands were wrapped around my chest from behind!
Every single one!
Either hold it or press it.
He still had the nerve to smile so innocently.
“...”
I quickly deleted my Weibo post and glared at him angrily.
Lu Weize laughed, “I really didn’t mean to.”
“Who would believe you?”
“Exactly.” He took my hand and kissed it near his lips. “We’re already an old married couple, what’s wrong with a little touch?”
Just then, my phone rang.
I stood up, “I’ll step outside to take a call.”
Lu Weize nodded.
While I was outside taking the call, Lu Weize's phone rang as well.
The caller ID showed Li.
Lu Weize walked to the window to answer it.
“Lu Weize, I almost got hacked by the famous domestic hacker Red A. Fortunately, I discovered it in time and immediately expelled him.”
“He checked my background and yours too. I suspect he already knows about your relationship with Lin Chu.”
Lu Weize didn’t say anything and silently hung up the phone.
He gazed out the window, his expression serious.
...
When I returned from the phone call, I found Lu Weize lost in thought.
I knew exactly what was going on, but I said nothing and sat down to continue eating.
The two of us silently finished the meal, understanding each other without words.
Lu Weize kept wrapping duck for me; I ate one, and he wrapped another.
I was almost stuffed.
After the meal, we walked towards the Christmas tree in the square.
The surroundings were filled with a lively crowd, and everywhere was festive cheer.
I couldn't help but speak up: "Lu Weize, you don't trust me."
Lu Weize's voice was low: "I don't."
"You do." I stared at him. "You checked my position."
"Lin Chu!" Lu Weize stopped in his tracks, closed his eyes, suppressing his emotions. "It's you who hid it from me, being with someone else."
"You have a hundred thousand yuan deal with him, right? He was with you during your freshman year, wasn't he?"
I couldn't refute that.
I looked down at the ground, angrily stepping on the scarf beneath my feet.
Lu Weize looked at me coldly before turning to leave.
I raised my head and only saw Lu Weize's back as he walked into the snow.
I stood alone in the snow, with snowflakes falling gently around me.
Chapter 69
"Stop crying," Lu Weize said as he held me in his arms, comforting me with concern. "Be good, don't cry."
I cried even louder.
Lu Weize sighed helplessly. "As long as you explain everything to me, we can still be fine, okay?"
I shook my head while crying.
"What do you want me to do?" Lu Weize closed his eyes, suppressing the anger inside him. "Lin Chu, don't push me; otherwise, I really will leave."
In the end, I couldn't control myself and sent Lu Weize a breakup text while crying.
As soon as I sent it, I regretted it.
When Lu Weize received the message, he immediately called.
Hearing my cries, his heart softened completely.
"What I said earlier was a bit impulsive; don't take it to heart," Lu Weize said softly. "Where are you? Come down and hit me a few times to vent your anger, okay?"
I stood on the balcony, looking down at the street below.
Lu Weize stood under the streetlight, looking up at me.
His voice came through the phone: "I see you; come down."
I turned and ran downstairs.
Wearing only a thin nightgown, I was immediately hit by the cold wind as I rushed outside, making me shiver.
Lu Weize quickly took off his down jacket and wrapped me in it, then gently touched my hand.
It was icy cold.
He felt extremely pained and hurriedly pulled me into his embrace, holding me tightly.
“Lu Weize…” I sniffled and said, “I don’t want to break up.”
Lu Weize closed his eyes for a moment and sighed, “It’s my fault. What I just said was because my mind was in chaos. I… I don’t know what to do; I can’t think rationally.”
I looked at him with tear-filled eyes.
Lu Weize kissed my eyelids gently, “Let’s face this together, okay? Don’t keep your sadness to yourself; it hurts me.”
“I’m sorry, I apologize.” Lu Weize ruffled my hair, “Forgive me, alright?”
I finally nodded.
Lu Weize sighed in relief, “I’ll call Wang Ming in a bit and apologize to him at B University.”
“No need.” I shook my head, “I’m just friends with him… don’t make things difficult for him.”
“I’ve checked; he is indeed a well-known hacker. He needs money, and I can give him some.”
Lu Weize looked at me, “How about letting him help you sell your paintings?”
I lowered my eyes and remained silent.
“You don’t want to explain, and I won’t pressure you.” Lu Weize gently rubbed my cheek, “But please don’t mention breaking up again, okay?”
I nodded.
Lu Weize held me close and sighed deeply, “What am I going to do with you?”
In the evening, Lu Weize and I returned to the room.
Lu Weize sat on the bed and pulled me into his arms.
He kissed my ear and whispered, "You don't need to say anything; I understand everything."
I felt a lump in my throat and looked up at him.
Lu Weize smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I'll go to B University to find Wang Ming."
I nodded.
"From now on, he will help you pay back the money." Lu Weize ruffled my hair. "He wants to buy your paintings, and I'll cover the cost, okay?"
"Will he agree?"
Lu Weize nodded. "He will agree."
I looked at him in surprise.
Lu Weize kissed my forehead and said, "Alright, it's late. Let's go to sleep."
