Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Mo Chunli walked up and asked with concern: "Did you eat something wrong? This morning, you were in so much pain that you couldn't even stand."

Lu Youning was too embarrassed to say that she was suffering from menstrual cramps, so she could only whisper in Chunli's ear, "It's just menstrual cramps." Then she smiled and said to the squad leader that it was okay.

The others chatted for a few more minutes and then went home.

Lu Youning and Ruan Fuxi dawdled in class for quite a while before finally taking bus No. 9 home. Due to their delay, the seats on the bus were already full, so they had to find a place to stand.

Ruan Fuxi was very considerate and even helped Lu Youning carry her schoolbag.

Ruan Fuxi looked at Lu Youning and asked with a smile, "Youning, what are your plans for the three-day New Year's Day holiday?"

Lu Youning shrugged and replied, "Nothing special, just reading at home. How about you?"

Ruan Fuxi: "I also plan to study at home. At most, I'll make an appointment with Gu Siyuan to play ball or games."

"Yeah, that's good."

Lu Youning looked up at him and suddenly remembered a time when they squeezed into a bus to go home. They were in the same position, maintaining the current posture. He lowered his head to protect her, and she looked up at the small mole on the bridge of his nose in a daze.

They're destined to be together...right? Lu Youning thought to herself.

Ruan Fuxi saw that Lu Youning was staring at him, the corners of his mouth curled up, his brows relaxed, and he was inexplicably in a good mood.

After realizing why he was laughing, Lu Youning didn't dare to look at him anymore and turned her face away to look at the scenery outside.

Before Ruan Fuxi got out of the car, he reached out and ruffled her hair. Lu Youning glared at him and muttered softly, "You're being so brazen."

Ruan Fuxi smiled brightly and said, "Send me a message to let me know you're safe when you get home."

……

As soon as Lu Youning got home, she went straight to her room, changed her sanitary pad and clothes, and then lay down on the bed. She thought she would get some sleep first, but in her daze, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to send a message to Ruan Fuxi to let him know she was safe.

She quickly took out her cell phone from the drawer, opened the chat interface, and typed a line of words: "I'm home, a little tired, I'll take a nap first, we'll talk later." Seeing that the message was sent successfully, she fell asleep without waiting for the other party to reply.

On the other side, Ruan Fuxi was playing a shooting game with Gu Siyuan and others and was at a critical moment when a message suddenly popped up.

Ruan Fuxi only took a quick glance before continuing to immerse himself in the game. As soon as the game ended, Gu Siyuan on the other side sent a message: "Brother Xi, let's play another round. This time, it's my turn to show off my prowess."

Ruan Fuxi: "I have something to do. I don't want to play anymore."

Ruan Fuxi quickly clicked on the message and saw that it was from Lu Youning. "I'm home, a little tired, I'll take a nap first, we'll talk later." Lu Youning's sleepy look seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

Her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, drooping limply, half covering her once lively eyes.

The corners of her mouth were no longer the usual smile, but were slightly turned down, with a hint of fatigue that was hard to conceal. Her cheeks also seemed to have lost their usual rosy glow and looked slightly pale.

When she sent this message, she exuded a sense of powerlessness as if she were overwhelmed by fatigue.

He remembered what the female clerk said when he bought sanitary napkins for her during the day, "Buying sanitary napkins for your girlfriend." For some reason, he didn't want to correct her at the time. Perhaps he was selfish.

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed, a smile with a hint of anticipation. Ruan Fuxi shook his head gently, as if trying to get rid of these messy yet beautiful thoughts in his mind.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance, his thoughts still lingering on Lu Youning. He knew that his feelings for Lu Youning were no longer just those of pure friends.

Ruan Fuxi sat back on the sofa and slid his fingers gently across the screen of his mobile phone. He wanted to send something to Lu Youning, but was afraid of disturbing her rest.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally typed out a line of words: "Have a good rest, I hope you have a good dream." He stared at the line of words for a while, as if pouring all his care into it, and then gently clicked send.

Lu Youning slept until around six in the evening. She slowly woke up and rubbed her sleepy eyes. She picked up her phone and saw a message from Ruan Fuxi: "Have a good rest. I hope you have a good dream."

The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, and her originally pale face became more gentle. There seemed to be stars hidden in her eyes, flashing a warm and reassuring light.

She got out of bed and walked out of the room. At this time, her parents were preparing dinner.

When Dad Lu heard the noise, he turned around and saw Lu Youning, and asked, "The house was so quiet when I came home today. I thought you weren't home yet, so I went to your room and found out you were sleeping."

As Father Lu spoke, he walked closer. Seeing that Lu Youning didn't look very well, he asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Youning didn't want her father to worry, so she quickly replied, "We had a New Year's Eve party at school last night, and I stayed up too late."

After hearing this, Dad Lu nodded and said, "Then eat more later to replenish your body."

At this time, Lu's mother brought out a plate of food from the kitchen. She took a closer look at Lu Youning's face, which looked just as sickly as it did during her period. She smiled and said, "You look listless. These are your favorite dishes. Eat more and you'll be full of energy."

Then he said, "Before going to bed, soak your feet in hot water, and then make a cup of brown sugar ginger tea."

Lu Youning: "Okay, Mom."

After dinner, Lu Youning said hello to her parents and returned to her room. She felt a bit lazy after eating and drinking, and didn't feel like doing homework today. She picked up her phone and replied to Ruan Fuxi's message.

A little grapefruit: "Thank you, I had a good sleep in the afternoon and slept until six o'clock."

Maybe Ruan Fuxi was also playing with her phone. She just sent the message and received a reply.

Ruan Fuxi teased, "Yeah, like a piglet."

A little pomelo: "Who looks like a piglet? You are the piglet." Lu Youning replied unconvinced.

Ruan Fuxi could imagine her angry expression, and fearing that she was really angry, he stopped joking and turned to care about her health. He asked, "Have you recovered almost completely after waking up?"

A little grapefruit: "Well, it's basically done. I'd like to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude. When are you free?"

Ruan Fuxi: "Sure, but I want to eat what you made yourself."

Lu Youning thought for a moment and replied, "That's fine. I can make it at home and bring it to you at school."

Ruan Fuxi: "Come to my house. My parents are busy on New Year's Day and are not at home. I'd like to invite Gu Siyuan and Lu Yixiao along. What do you think?"

Lu Youning was silent for a long time. Just when Ruan Fuxi thought she disagreed, she replied: "Then ask them in the group if they are free."
