Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love-Chapter 369: My Girlfriend is Here

Liu Ou’s job wasn’t exactly easy, especially after she and An Ji returned to City C—it got even busier.

The new studio squeezed every second of their time.

But it also meant rapid growth.

An Ji wasn’t the type to oppress her employees; Liu Ou could already help take some small photos.

Mostly of kids or minor internet celebrities.

But that was already quite impressive.

So she was busy, the kind of busy where many times she wouldn’t get off work until three or four in the morning.

By year-end, it was even more hectic. They were originally supposed to have the day off on New Year’s Eve, but to see Lin Yu, Liu Ou had even asked An Ji for leave.

Although An Ji was a boss with a good temper, when things got busy, no one had it easy.

He just said to her, "Don’t let it happen again."

After all, asking for leave at the busiest time of the year wasn’t really justifiable.

But seeing Lin Yu in that moment seemed to make everything worth it.

The warmth of the hug in front of her, a heartbeat almost in sync with hers.

Liu Ou whispered, "I regret it, I don’t want to be so far away from you..."

She had always thought of herself as a strong girl, she had been since she was little.

Liu Ou had never thought she would have a vulnerable side.

Like now, she didn’t want to let go of the person in front of her, she regretted letting him go.

Without an embrace, you can tell yourself it’s okay, it was always like this before.

They’re just unable to hug each other, that’s all.

But only when embracing each other did she realize, how could it be okay? It really did matter.

She felt terribly distressed at this moment.

The quiet muttering from Liu Ou caused Lin Yu’s heart to ache.

When Lin Yu first came here, he missed her a lot, and he missed Grandma too.

Luckily, his studies kept him busy enough, so life was soon full.

But whenever there was a brief moment of downtime, he couldn’t help but think of her.

Everything wasn’t as easy as they thought, and the taste of missing someone was not pleasant.

But he had only been away for less than half a year.

Lin Yu said softly, "I’m sorry."

Liu Ou looked up at him with a smile from his embrace, "Don’t apologize. You make me think you had an affair."

The tone obviously joking.

Yet Lin Yu still took it seriously and said, "I didn’t. I love you. Although I’ve received romantic interests from people of the opposite sex... and the same sex, I’ve turned them all down, and I’ve told you right away."

Overseas, it seemed that they really weren’t very concerned about gender.

Lin Yu’s Eastern features certainly drew attention. Find more to read at novelbuddy

Mainly because he was also quite handsome.

Hearing Lin Yu mention this, Liu Ou couldn’t help but laugh.

She reached out to cover Lin Yu’s face, gazing at him intently, and then nodded seriously, "Mhm, my boyfriend is indeed very handsome."

The first time Lin Yu received advances from the same sex, he had a confused expression on his face during a video call with Liu Ou that evening, "Although Xie Xiao and I had all sorts of strange ’CP’ moments before... it seems they were serious!"

Liu Ou was also stunned at the time.

Now, she teased Lin Yu on purpose, "I have to say, my love rivals are really beyond guard."

Lin Yu leaned in and gave her a small kiss, "No need to be on guard. I am yours, I always keep that in mind."

So, there was never a chance for anyone else.

The two couldn’t really keep hiding in the bathroom forever.

After washing their hands, they came out.

The house was heated, so Lin Yu took off his coat and went in to assist his grandma.

Liu Ou was very aware that she genuinely couldn’t help with this matter.

So she sat on the sofa, constantly taking photos with her phone.

A boyfriend she hadn’t seen in so long deserved to be preserved in many pictures.

After all, she didn’t know when they would meet again.

Thinking of this, Liu Ou just wanted to sigh.

She suddenly wondered if perhaps her job was too demanding...

Inside the kitchen, the grandmother and grandson were preparing the last dish.

It seemed as though even the wrinkles in the old lady’s face were smiling as she caringly told Lin Yu to take care of his health and himself.

Lin Yu responded to each piece of advice.

"Grandma, are you tired from such a long plane ride? If you miss me, I’ll make the time to come back..." Lin Yu truly felt sorry, even he felt tired from the flight over.

Not to mention the elderly lady.

But the grandma waved her hand and said, "What are you talking about? I’m fine, I used to carry you all night without trouble, it’s only because I’ve gotten older."

She sighed, "At first, Liu Ou didn’t want me to come, said it was too far, too much of a hassle, she even suggested we just celebrate New Year at home, and video call you..."

As the old lady spoke, a hint of guilt crossed her face, "But I could see she missed you, and I missed you too. Thinking of you spending New Year alone abroad, it just made my heart ache, thinking you couldn’t even have a single bite of warm food..."

Lin Yu’s eyes reddened, but he still teased the old lady with a smile, "It’s not like that, Grandma. There are many Chinese restaurants here. If you hadn’t come, I would have spent the New Year with some classmates. It definitely wouldn’t be as lively as at home, but it wouldn’t be that miserable either."

He stretched out his hand to hug the old lady, "Don’t worry too much, I’m fine."

The old lady’s eyes reddened as she looked at him but didn’t remind him of it, merely nodding, "Alright, I know, but Grandma is getting old, I might not be up for this much longer. I just can’t bear to be away from Liu Ou..."

She turned to glance behind her at the living room, "That silly girl must really miss you, sometimes she runs over to my place during her lunch break, just to lie down in your room..."

The old lady’s tone was full of tender concern, "Such a young girl..."

Lin Yu also looked back, "Grandma, you’re still young... Once I’m not so busy, I’ll try my best to find time to come back..."

"It’s not about you coming back, but you have to be aware, Lin Yu. There’s a silly girl waiting for you to come home..." The old lady wasn’t doubting Lin Yu, but she wanted to teach the boy to be responsible and to know that he is always loved.

The outside world is so fascinating, sometimes even she, an old lady, gets attracted to it.

Not to mention Lin Yu, a young man.

Lacking guidance from older male figures,

The old lady could only remind him constantly.

Lin Yu smiled and said to his grandma, "I know, Grandma. Right now, I just want to graduate quickly and return to be with you all. You’ve worked hard too..."

The old lady said nothing more, just smiling and nodding.

On such a festive occasion, there was no need to keep bringing that up.

Soon, the three of them sat down together at the dining table.

Lin Yu even turned on the television.

Although the festival wasn’t celebrated here, they could still watch the Spring Festival Gala.

The three of them ate and drank, chatted, and watched the Spring Festival Gala.

It all felt like being back in China, another bustling year.

As the old lady was of advanced age, she went to rest after eating, unable to stay up any longer.

Lin Yu and Liu Ou were left to clean up.

The two of them chatted in low voices while tidying up.

Both had rare, relaxed expressions on their faces.

In the evening, Lin Yu’s roommate called with concern, wondering why he hadn’t come back yet.

The neighborhood wasn’t very safe at night, and the roommate had grown accustomed to Lin Yu being home by eleven.

So there was some worry at this time.

Lin Yu, looking at the girl playing with her phone next to him, smiled and told his roommate, "My girlfriend is here, I’m not going back tonight. Just letting you know in advance, Happy New Year."
