After this, my relationship with Jiang Muyu developed rapidly, comparable to riding a rocket, especially when compared to the lukewarm couple next door.
One day during a break, my best friend came over to my seat, happily tugging at the sleeve of my school uniform without saying a word. After several questions, she shyly told me that Su Yi had held her hand. I thought it was something serious. I had already gotten used to it. After all, that Jiang Muyu had already held my hand and touched his abs a hundred times in a secluded corner on the way home from school.
Later that night, just before bed, he "accidentally" sent me a picture of his abs, quickly retracted it after the time limit had passed, and added an unnecessary explanation: "slipped."
Confirming our relationship with Jiang Muyu happened on an ordinary evening. He walked me home, and we were playfully teasing each other along the way. When we reached my front door, we saw my parents just getting home from work. So, he was invited into my house for "tea."
Once inside, he stood straight in the living room as if he were being punished, almost ready to salute. Before my parents could question him, he introduced himself: "Hello, Uncle and Auntie, my name is Jiang Muyu. The 'Mu' means admiration, and 'Yu' is the 'Yu' from Yuyu. I am the study representative of Class 2 in Grade 11 with good grades, ranked first in the year."
My dad's stern face immediately relaxed, and Jiang Muyu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief before continuing: "I like Classmate Song Yu, but it's purely emotional and respectful; I will never overstep boundaries. Please rest assured!"
"We usually discuss difficult study problems together and encourage each other. I promise to supervise Classmate Song Yu to study hard and improve her grades!"
"If you are still angry, just hit me instead; please don't scold Yuyu..." He then put on a pitiful act.
Hearing his eloquent words and seeing his righteous demeanor protecting me made my mom unable to hold back her laughter. She got up and pulled him to sit on the sofa, asking about his family. Jiang Muyu spoke candidly about everything.
It turned out that his family name Jiang was from Jiang Group! He even said they only ran a small company. Well, a small company with tens of thousands of employees.
After sitting at my house for nearly an hour, when he was about to leave, my parents were all smiles and looked like they wanted to pack me up and send me off with him.
"Yuyu, go see Jiang classmate off," my dad said affectionately.
I helplessly wore my Winnie the Pooh pajamas and sent him downstairs. Fortunately, he had called his family's driver in advance.
When I stepped outside, I found his driver already waiting downstairs. I stood on the steps and called out to him, quickly pecking a kiss on his cheek.
"See you tomorrow!" I turned around and ran back upstairs before he could see the blush on my face.
When I got home, my mom noticed my shy expression and pulled me aside for a "heart-to-heart" talk for half an hour. It wasn't until I repeatedly assured her that we would never do anything inappropriate and wouldn't neglect our studies that she finally let me go.
One must first learn to love oneself; to love oneself means to protect oneself. I understood that much.
Lying in bed, looking at the cute emoji of kisses and hugs that Jiang Muyu sent me, my heart felt as sweet as honey. I replied with the same emoji.
Kisses, hugs, and holding hands shouldn't be crossing any boundaries, right?
Just like that, we became more than just friends, while he and his buddy remained lukewarm, having barely held hands a few times. Unlike me, who had already accomplished what I wanted to do since our first meeting.
