Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

At this time, Ruan Fuxi had already washed the fruit and placed it in a basin and brought it out. He smiled and said, "You guys play for a while. Gu Siyuan and I will go downstairs to get the vegetables."

After hearing this, Lu Youning and Lu Yixiao simultaneously turned their gazes towards Ruan Fuxi. Lu Youning subconsciously nodded and said, "Do you want my help?"

Lu Yixiao also quickly agreed: "Yes, Ningning and I will go and help get it."

Ruan Fuxi refused with a gentle smile on his face, saying, "No, it's not much. We can handle it together." After that, he went out with Gu Siyuan.

Not long after, there was a sound at the door, and Ruan Fuxi and Gu Siyuan came back, each carrying several bags in their hands.

When Lu Youning saw this, he hurried forward to help. Several people took the dishes to the kitchen together and poured them into plates one by one.

Afterwards, everyone brought the dishes to the table, and the air was immediately filled with aroma, attracting the attention of several boys who were playing games.

Zuo Boyang sniffed hard and shouted, "Ruan Fuxi, where did you order this dish from? It smells so good."

Ruan Fuxi replied, "Shiyunfang, my mother ordered it."

Xiao Qi asked curiously, "Didn't they say that you have to make a reservation for that store? Auntie is really amazing."

Ruan Fuxi explained: "It was reserved two days ago, and you guys came over for dinner."

After hearing Ruan Fuxi's words, everyone sat around the dining table, their faces full of anticipation.

Before the meal, everyone raised their glasses and wished the birthday boy or girl a happy birthday. "Happy birthday! This is a birthday present!"

Ruan Fuxi smiled and clinked glasses with everyone, saying, "Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday. Let's eat."

Zuo Baiyang couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks, looking at the table full of tempting dishes, and joked, "Then we have to taste these delicacies that we took the trouble to order and see how delicious they are."

Everyone smiled and nodded after hearing this, and then started to pick up their chopsticks.

Xiao Qi picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in his mouth. As soon as he chewed it, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Wow, this tastes delicious, just the right amount of sweet and sour, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. No wonder they made a reservation."

After hearing this, the others also hurriedly picked up a piece and tasted it. For a moment, the table was filled with praise for this dish.

Lu Youning tasted the steamed fish. The fish meat was tender and smooth, melted in the mouth, and had no fishy smell at all. She couldn't help but eat two more chopsticks.

After dinner, Gu Siyuan took the cake out of the kitchen and placed it on the dining table.

There were two candles on the cake, a 1 and an 8, representing 18 years old.

It means that Ruan Fuxi has officially become an adult.

Ruan Fuxi lit the candles with a lighter, and everyone sang the birthday song. After a few seconds, Ruan Fuxi blew out the candles. He carefully cut a piece of cake for each person.

Lu Youning scooped a piece of cake with a small fork and put it into her mouth. As soon as she put it in her mouth, a rich milky aroma spread on the tip of her tongue. The delicate and dense taste was as light as a cloud, and the sweet but not greasy taste was just right.

After finishing the cake, everyone started clamoring to play Landlord. Ruan Fuxi found two decks of cards from under the coffee table and joined them in the fun.

Several people quickly sat together and began to shuffle and deal the cards skillfully. The atmosphere suddenly became more lively and cheerful.

Zuo Boyang arranged the cards in his hand and said confidently, "I'm going to beat you all today, so be careful."

Xiao Qi curled his lips and said jokingly, "Hey, don't brag too early, you might be the one who loses the most later."

A few girls also started playing with another deck of cards.

Lu Youning sat on the sofa, browsing her phone and occasionally watching Lu Yixiao and the others playing cards.

Half an hour later, Lu Youning propped up his head with his hands, yawned, and muttered to himself, "I feel sleepy because I'm full."

Seeing that Lu Youning looked very sleepy and her eyelids were drooping, Ruan Fuxi walked over to her, patted her arm gently, and motioned Lu Youning to follow him.

Lu Youning followed Ruan Fuxi to his room in a daze, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Fuxi looked at Lu Youning's dazed look and couldn't help but smile. He said softly, "You look so sleepy. It's quiet here. Why don't you lie down on my bed for a while? You can rest well and then go out and play."

As he said that, he walked to the bed, lifted a corner of the quilt, and patted the bed gently.

Lu Youning finally came back to her senses, her cheeks pink, and she scratched her head a little embarrassedly, saying, "Uh, no need, I'll just lean on the sofa for a while."

Ruan Fuxi saw what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Don't be so stubborn, go to sleep."

Lu Youning hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the sleepiness, so she slowly walked to the bed and lay down.

As soon as she touched the pillow, his unique fresh and pleasant scent entered her nose, mixed with the faint aroma of laundry detergent, making Lu Youning feel inexplicably at ease.

She gradually relaxed, and the comfortable feeling made her yawn again. She said vaguely, "Then I'll take a nap for a while. Thank you, Ruan Fuxi."

Ruan Fuxi helped her pull up the quilt and replied softly, "You're welcome. Have a good sleep. I'll be out first. Just call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he tiptoed out of the room, not forgetting to close the door, trying not to make any noise to disturb Lu Youning's rest.

When Lu Youning woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

For a moment, she was still in a daze and her consciousness was not fully awake. After she saw the surrounding environment clearly, she remembered that she had fallen asleep in Ruan Fuxi's room.

She turned her head and saw Ruan Fuxi sitting beside her, reading quietly. The afternoon sun shone through the window onto him, outlining his handsome profile.

She quickly sat up and said, "Why didn't you call me? What time is it now?"

Ruan Fuxi heard Lu Youning's voice, then put down the book in his hand, turned to look at her, with a gentle smile on his face, and said softly:

"Seeing you were sleeping soundly, I didn't have the heart to wake you up. It's already three o'clock in the afternoon."

Lu Youning didn't hear any sound outside, so she asked again, "It's so quiet outside, are they all gone?"

Ruan Fuxi nodded and replied, "Okay, let's go."

After hearing this, Lu Youning quickly stood up, put on his shoes, and said, "Thank you for the bed. I'll go back first." After that, he hurried out.

Ruan Fuxi quickly reached out and grabbed her arm. Lu Youning was pulled backward and suddenly hit a warm "wall". She was instantly surrounded by his warm breath.

Lu Youning was suddenly stunned, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

Ruan Fuxi slowly lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Lu Youning, I have something to tell you. I like you, I really do."

Lu Youning leaned against his chest blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"From the first time I noticed you, I was attracted to you.

Your smile and the way you study hard are like a ray of light shining into my world, making me unable to take my eyes off it.

As we got along later, I became more and more clear about my feelings towards you.

At that time, I was thinking, you study so hard, I can't disturb your studies because of my feelings.

At the same time, I also told myself that after graduation, if my feelings for you are still as hot as before, then I will pursue you without hesitation.

I don't know if we are suitable for each other, but I would like to ask you to give me a chance and give our future a chance.

Ruan Fuxi gently turned Lu Youning around and reached out to hold her slender wrist.

He looked at Lu Youning intently, his eyes full of sincerity and expectation, and asked in a trembling voice, "Can you be my girlfriend?"
