After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

Lu Huainan couldn't quite figure out where this feeling of loss came from, and could only try to suppress the inappropriate thoughts in his heart.

Time flies.

Three years later.

On the day of the school’s centenary celebration, many successful seniors were invited to return to the school to give speeches on stage.

Lu Huainan had no interest in these activities. His eyes wandered through the crowd for a long time, but he finally had no choice but to look away.

"Oh my god, isn't that the talented painter Duoduo? She also goes to this school!"

Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted and fell on Duoduo who was not far away.

The moment Lu Huainan saw Duoduo, his eyes were filled with shock and joy, but his heart was filled with uncontrollable ripples.

After not seeing her for many years, Duoduo has become even more beautiful and charming, with a glow of confidence shining on her.

She is no longer the little girl who was bullied by others.

His gaze stayed on Duoduo for a long time. It was no longer the look a professor gave his student, but a straightforward look with hidden feelings between them.

"Now, let us welcome the talented painter Duoduo as an outstanding senior student to come forward and communicate with each of our students."

The host invited Duoduo to the stage.

She was wearing a red dress, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

As soon as the school celebration ended, Lu Huainan couldn't wait to find Duoduo.

"Duoduo, I have a new answer to the question you asked me three years ago."

Lu Huainan looked at her lovingly, wanting to get a positive answer from her.

"I'm sorry, Duoduo is already my girlfriend, you don't have to hit on her anymore."

A low and hoarse voice was heard, and a handsome man in a black shirt suddenly appeared. He put his arms around Duoduo's shoulders as if declaring his sovereignty.

Lu Huainan's eyes dimmed in an instant, and he felt so lost that he couldn't express it in words. His heart felt sour and bitter.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Duoduo's previous feelings.

"Chen Yue, stop messing around."

Duoduo smiled and pushed away his hand on her shoulder, denying what Chen Yue had just said.

Lu Huainan saw hope again in the afternoon. He waited nervously and anxiously for Duoduo's answer.

But Duoduo just left a message saying that it was just a joke and asked Professor Lu not to take it seriously, and then left.

Lu Huainan wanted to chase after her to explain, but Duoduo's figure disappeared so quickly that he couldn't catch up at all. He could only press his eyebrows helplessly.

He repeatedly advised himself that there was no need to rush into the pursuit and to take it slow, as there was still a long time between them.

Duoduo seemed calm and composed, but as soon as she turned around, her tears burst out uncontrollably.

Chen Yue was startled. "Duoduo, what's wrong with you? Are you thinking about something unhappy again?"

He hurriedly handed her a tissue. Duoduo wiped her tears and forced a smile.

"So he is the one who made you sad. I should have punched him earlier if I had known."

Chen Yue said this jokingly, but he felt a little jealous in his heart.

He and Duoduo met when they were studying abroad. At that time, Duoduo was very quiet and it took him a long time to become friends with her.

Duoduo often hid by the creek near the school and cried secretly. He later found out that she was heartbroken by a man.

"It's in the past."

Duoduo pretended to be strong and spread her hands, "Look how well I am doing now."

Chen Yue said nothing more.

back home.

Duoduo locked herself in the room and secretly took out a small box hidden in the cabinet.

There were a lot of things in the box, all related to Lu Huainan.

His buttons, the pen he used, the hairpin he gave me on my birthday, and the love letter that was returned to me.

Duoduo wanted to throw away everything in the box, but in the end she couldn't bear to do so.

She rested at home for a week.

In fact, besides the school celebration, she returned to China for another reason, which was to find inspiration.

It had been a long time since she had created a satisfactory painting seriously.

Duoduo was really upset staying at home.

She changed her clothes and went out for a walk. Coincidentally, she met Lu Huainan in a park near her home.

He was talking to an old man when he caught a glimpse of Duoduo out of the corner of his eye and looked over at him in surprise.

Their eyes met, and the familiar throbbing made her heart flutter like a deer.

"Duoduo, what a coincidence! I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect that fate would let me meet you again."

Lu Huainan walked quickly to Duoduo.

Duoduo's mind told her that she should completely cut off ties with him, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't move at all.

"A lot of changes have happened in the country in the three years since you left. Can I take you around?"

He spoke tentatively.

After a long while, Duoduo finally agreed.

Lu Huainan took her to the newly built amusement park, and they sat on the carousel together. Occasionally their eyes met, but she would immediately look away.

After leaving the amusement park, Lu Huainan invited her to an art exhibition in the city.

Duoduo was lacking in inspiration, so she agreed without much hesitation.

When we met again, he dressed up and changed into a very formal suit.

Duoduo was a little surprised. This was the first time she saw him wearing formal clothes. He looked unexpectedly elegant and noble. She couldn't help blushing.

Lu Huainan and she were walking around the exhibition, and they happened to meet an acquaintance, who looked at Duoduo with some surprise.

"Professor Lu, is this your girlfriend?"

Duoduo was about to deny it, but Lu Huainan smiled and said, "Not yet. I'm still pursuing her."

When he said this, the other party was even more surprised.

Duoduo's face was red from head to toe. She glared at him, turned around and wanted to leave, but he held her hand.

"My words last time were from the bottom of my heart. I hope you can think about it carefully."

In front of so many people, he gazed at her devoutly and placed his true heart in front of her.

Duoduo pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, "You said you like me, how do you prove it?"

She wanted to see his actual actions rather than his confession.

Lu Huainan smiled knowingly: "I will prove it to you."

In the next half month, he proved his love with practical actions.

He gave her carefully selected brushes and paints, accompanied her on outings to find inspiration, and stopped downstairs every day waiting for her.

On a seemingly ordinary afternoon, when they passed the alley again, Duoduo stopped, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.

"I promise you."

She leaned over to his ear and whispered.

"Duoduo, thank you for accepting me." Lu Huainan was so happy and excited that he could hardly control himself and hugged her and spun around.

Duoduo buried her head in his arms and smiled with satisfaction.

What a good fate, the person she liked from the beginning finally ended up being with her.
