Thus, these three days felt like years to Shao Tingyu. He made incessant calls to Lin Mengmeng. On the last day, he got up early and went to wait under Xie Ruan’s apartment. Lin Mengmeng, still in her sleep, was awakened by her phone’s ringtone. She picked up her phone, saw Shao Tingyu’s name on the screen, and a smile crept onto her lips. “Come to the window,” came the pleasant male voice from the phone. Following Shao Tingyu’s instructions, Lin Mengmeng went to the balcony and saw him leaning against his car, waving at her. At that moment, Xie Ruan, with sleep still in her eyes, walked out of her room. She glanced downstairs and teased Lin Mengmeng, “He really can’t bear to be without you, coming so early to pick you up.” Lin Mengmeng smiled, picked up the prepared gift, and bid Xie Ruan farewell. As she closed the car door, she was still panting from running so quickly. Shao Tingyu, amused, asked, “Why are you in such a hurry?” Looking at him, Lin Mengmeng’s smile overflowed, “Because I saw you, I wanted to run over.” A wave of joy passed through Shao Tingyu’s heart as he hugged Lin Mengmeng, planting a kiss on her forehead. “I missed you too.” They exchanged smiles, their hearts filled with unspoken longing.
Back at the Rainbow Bridge Villa, Lin Mengmeng led Shao Tingyu to the dressing room mirror, handing him a suit bag. “Try it on.” “What’s this?” Seeing Shao Tingyu’s confusion, she couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you remember it’s your birthday today?” Shao Tingyu was stunned, then realized, “You remembered?” “I never forgot.”
