Chapter 7: Ending?
He Yu clenched her hands into fists, to Ye Xun’s side, and asked softly, “What were you talking about with her?”
“Nothing much, just a few random words. They asked me where I was from.” Ye Xun replied, “Maybe because, at first glance, I don’t look like the typical Chongqing inhabitant.”
He Yu smiled.
Behind her, Jiang Yu called out to He Yu and asked her what she thought about the clothing she was holding. He Yu didn’t ask anything more and walked away.
After a few people finished their shopping, it was already noon. Jiang Yu invited them to eat out at a restaurant on the fourth floor.
During the meal, Jiang Yu received messages on her phone from her company. Even on her vacation, the company wouldn’t give her a break. The product department sent her over a dozen messages, asking her to return to work early the next morning to take a look at a problematic product. It was quite a headache and looked like she would be busy all next week again.
And she was right. When Wednesday arrived, it was He Yu’s birthday, but she could only send her a few text messages, wishing her a happy birthday.
That day, He Yu also received a call from her brother and returned home to celebrate her birthday.
After the dinner and cake, Mother He walked He Yu out the door.
The pair of mother and daughter were silent the entire time, and when she was out the door, He Yu could not help but whisper, “Thanks, Mom.”
Mother He maintained a blank expression, thinking about what to say and glanced at her: “Next time…bring your girlfriend with you.”
She was still somewhat unable to accept this, and there was hesitation between her words, but for her to be able to say this was already hard enough for her. It showed she had thought about this a lot and had to overcome a few mental struggles of her own.
He Yu understood who Mother He was talking about; however, she didn’t acknowledge anything, but nodded: “Ok.”
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, choosing someone so young. She looks like a troublemaker too.” Mother He voiced her dissatisfaction as she called for a taxi. Then without saying another word, Mother He turned around and headed back inside.
He Yu watched her leave, with mixed feelings in her heart.
She had received Jiang Yun’s messages and the messages from her other friends as well. During the car ride back, she responded to each message.
However, she hadn’t received anything from a certain someone.
She opened the chat and sent a message to the other party: What are you doing?
The other party quickly responded: Waiting for you.
He Yu stepped inside the elevator and pressed the button for the 15th floor. When she saw those three words, her heart pounded. She realized something but was afraid to confirm it. She didn’t reply, and stared at the changing numbers, rapidly rising from 1 to 15.
Ding-
The elevator’s doors opened.
Suddenly, she felt her eyes water-Ye Xun standing in front of the door with a bouquet.
“Happy Birthday.” She handed the flowers to He Yu.
“Thank you.”
Then they both went silent. As soon as she entered the door, Ye Xun swept her into her arms, kissed her hair, kissed her forehead, kissed her nose, and then touched those pink lips. Every action was affectionate and gentle.
In response, He Yu grabbed her shoulder, threw the flowers onto the sofa, threw off her high heels, and hugged Ye Xun’s waist.

After tossing around all night, He Yu opened up Ye Xun’s gift for her-an an all-white box-inside was a ring, not the wedding kind, but a ring nonetheless.
Ye Xun kissed her neck and said: “I had it made over summer vacation, I asked a trusted contact to make it, do you like it?”
The voice was a little hoarse, tickling her heart.

The apartment opposite of hers, 1503, which had been empty, finally had a new occupant move in.
He Yu, who had been home these past few days, didn’t know until they came knocking on her door.
“Hello, my girlfriend.”
