30: Liu Yu's longing

Chen Li, who was drinking heartily, felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He took it out and saw a message from Meng Yu:

"Hubby, we're done eating. Li Tingting is accompanying me back to the Dormitory. Are you guys still eating over there?"

Chen Li looked down and smiled: "We're just about finished too. You guys ate pretty fast."

"Yeah, they organized a group to go to KTV for the second half. Li Tingting and I didn't go, so we left early."

"Tomorrow is the weekend, do you have any plans?" Chen Li took a sip of his drink, his thoughts already drifting toward the house.

It was time to buy a Villa for Meng Yu. As for current large expenditures, buying a house was the most suitable choice at the moment.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know when she'd ever be able to use up that two-billion quota if she just relied on buying small, miscellaneous items.

"No," Meng Yu replied almost instantly, her tone filled with excitement, "Why, are you planning on taking me somewhere to have fun?"

"Tomorrow, we're going to buy a house."

After the message was sent, the other end was silent for quite a while. Chen Li could imagine her staring blankly at the screen, blinking in confusion.

"Buy... buy a house?"

She confirmed it again before cautiously replying with one word: "Okay..."

Meng Yu held her phone, her heart beating so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

Buying a house? Chen Li actually wanted to take her to buy a house. This was within her expectations, but the timing exceeded her anticipation.

She knew they would definitely buy a house, but she didn't expect Chen Li to do it so quickly.

To her, a house was more than just a place to live—it meant that she and Chen Li were really going to have a home of their own.

They were both from this province, and Qiongzhou was the best and most developed city within it. It was practically a matter of course that they would stay here to develop their futures.

Being able to have a small home of their own here was a wish she had secretly fantasized about in her heart, but had never spoken aloud.

She couldn't help but start imagining what their future life would be like—going to the supermarket together on weekends, cooking...

Cuddling on the sofa to watch movies at night... How wonderful it would be if the daily routines of ordinary couples could happen in their own home.

Beside her, Li Tingting saw her expression and couldn't help but lean over to tease her: "Yo, who are you chatting with that makes you so happy? Is it Wei Jie?"

Meng Yu shook her head, her tone carrying a hint of sweetness: "It's my boyfriend."

"When did you get a boyfriend? Is he from our school too?" Li Tingting looked surprised.

"I've always had one. He's from our school,"

Meng Yu chuckled, "I originally wanted to invite him to join us tonight, but he went to eat with his roommates."

Li Tingting silently sighed for Wei Jie in her heart—judging by his behavior tonight, it was obvious he really liked Meng Yu. Now, he had absolutely no chance.

At the same time, she also became deeply curious about this boyfriend Meng Yu mentioned:

What kind of boy could possibly win over a girl like Meng Yu, who was not only like a girl-next-door but also came from a good family background?

Li Tingting would have to ask her roommate, Liu Yu, that question; she knew everything clearly.

And at this very moment, Liu Yu was lying on her bed, restlessly refreshing Chen Li's WeChat chat box.

Over the past few days, she had been buying all sorts of things and had spent all her money. She had also tried to ask Chen Li out a couple of days ago but was politely declined, leaving her feeling restless and uneasy.

She would scroll through short videos for a bit, then open WeChat, over and over again,

hoping he would suddenly appear, yet afraid that being too proactive would annoy him.

She really missed him, even if he didn't give her money, it didn't matter—was it true that a woman could never forget the first man in her life?

She seemed to understand a little now.

Just as she was about to be swallowed by anxiety, her phone suddenly vibrated, and the screen lit up:

"Can you drive?"

It was Chen Li!

Liu Yu practically sprang up from her bed, her eyes glued to those words, repeatedly confirming it wasn't a hallucination.

Her fingertips trembled with excitement, and she instantly replied with the word "Yes," her heart beating as if it were about to burst.

"See you at the school gate in twenty minutes."

"Ok... Okay." She replied incoherently, completely overwhelmed by the joy of being favored tonight.

Chen Li, having had some drinks, had called a designated driver and was currently on the way to take Zhang Yixi and the others back to the Dormitory.

Tomorrow was the weekend, and everyone at the table had drunk to their hearts' content, supporting one another, unable to speak clearly.

Chen Li leaned back in his seat, watching the flowing lights outside the window, and decided not to return to the Dormitory tonight.

Thinking back to how he had declined Liu Yu's invitation a couple of days ago, the alcohol in Chen Li's system stirred some primal urges within him, rising along with the intoxication.

He didn't hesitate anymore, unlocked WeChat, and sent her a message directly.

In a sense, Liu Yu could be considered his first woman—no, rather, he and Liu Yu were each other's first.

He also intended to give her some money—a woman who was with him shouldn't have to live frugally.

After dropping off Guo Zihong and the others at the school gate, he leaned back in the passenger seat and relaxed, finally pulling out his phone to check his messages.

Liu Yu had already sent a message: "Chen Li, I'm at the gate. Where are you?"

He replied briefly: "In front of the stationery store, the black Mercedes-Benz."

It didn't take long before that familiar figure appeared in his line of sight.

Liu Yu's outfit tonight was casual yet striking—a simple pure white T-shirt,

and a pair of light blue ultra-short casual shorts, which showed off her long, straight legs without reservation.

Those legs had smooth lines and delicate skin, looking blindingly white in the hazy night, attracting the gazes of passersby.

Her face was even more exquisite and unforgettable—her clear eyes were like pools of spring water, her nose was elegant and straight, and her lips had a natural rosy tint.

Her figure was well-defined, the simple white T-shirt stretched to an amazing curve, and the lines below her slender waist were fully revealed.

Several passing boys kept turning back to look at her, their eyes full of restless desire.

It wasn't until they saw her open the door of the Mercedes-Benz and get in that those lingering gazes turned into disappointment and muttering.

Some were envious, others walked away sourly; Chen Li saw it all.

As soon as Liu Yu sat in the driver's seat, she smelled the faint scent of alcohol on Chen Li.

He was staring straight at her, a gaze that made her cheeks burn, yet she felt sweet inside.

Especially when he subconsciously swallowed, she couldn't help but laugh, leaned over, and gave him a light kiss on the face.

"Drive quickly." Chen Li urged impatiently.

Only then did Liu Yu notice the brand-new Maybach she was sitting in; the luxurious interior of the car left her speechless with surprise.

There was no need to ask; it was definitely a car Chen Li had just bought. She suppressed the shock in her heart, gripped the steering wheel, and slowly drove the car toward the Hotel.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Hotel and the car came to a stop, Chen Li quickly handled the check-in procedures.

The two walked into the elevator one after the other, and as soon as they entered the room, the last bit of restraint vanished.

From the door to the sofa, clothes were scattered messily on the floor. In this small but warm room, there were only the sounds of their intertwined breathing and gasps until late into the night, long and secret... (One hundred thousand words of battle scene omitted here)
