"..."

After a brief pause, Lu Chen almost forgot that he had another important purpose for coming here today——

We must return the two hundred thousand to Lu Shuyu.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously wanted to take out his mobile phone to transfer money.

But the next second he remembered that he was still on the phone with Xia Yunian, so he had to silently retract his hand, coughed dryly and replied:

"Well, it's good. I can now speak a few simple words, and the money is enough..."

"That's it, that's good."

Lu Shuyu smiled and said, "If you are short of money, just tell me. I am very rich now."

Are you rich now?

"OK......"

Lu Chen nodded in confusion, feeling that there was some deeper meaning behind what the rich young lady said.

But he didn't think much about it. At this moment, he just wanted to get to the point.

So after a moment's silence, he finally took a deep breath and turned the topic to the thing that might explain everything.

"By the way, where have you been these days?"

"To Switzerland."

Lu Shuyu answered quickly, tilting his head to look over:

"Huh? Didn't Uncle Li tell you?"

"I didn't say it at first, but I did say it on the way here..."

Lu Chen paused and became increasingly nervous.

"So...you went to open the safe?"

"Ah."

Unexpectedly, Lu Shuyu still responded quickly.

But there was a flash of pain in his eyes.

She just said "hmm" and then stopped talking, as if she didn't understand what Lu Chen wanted to ask.

Lu Chen waited for a while, but had no choice but to speak again:

“Is it open?”

“…It’s open.”

This time, Lu Shuyu's answer was finally a beat slower, and his tone was no longer cheerful.

Looking up at Lu Chen, after a few seconds, she suddenly asked a question that was far off the topic.

"Lu Chen, do you still remember the day you took me to the cafeteria and around the campus?"

"Of course I remember..."

Lu Chen was stunned, not knowing why the rich girl asked this.

Lu Shuyu pursed her lips slightly, looked at the starless night sky with some regret, and murmured softly:

"You know what? Actually, I don't think instant noodles or wontons taste good."

"Shared bikes are hard to ride. I have to pedal really hard to keep up with you."

"The sun hat you bought is not breathable at all. It feels stuffy when I wear it."

"When you're not around, there are always boys taking secret photos of me. It annoys me, but I don't dare to tell you because I'm afraid you'll fight with them."

"Oh, and the pudding and iced cola were too cold. I had a stomachache for a long time after I got home..."

As Lu Chen's gaze gradually became more and more surprised, Lu Shuyu paused for a moment, turned to look at him with a happy smile on her face.

“But, that was the happiest day of my life.”

"There are beautiful flowers on Lover's Hill, the library is lively, and the playground smells good."

"The dorm manager praised me for being pretty. Your bed is so soft."

"Wang Tianyu was so silly that he didn't even dare to say a word when he saw me. It was so funny."

"By the way, I won't call his name wrong anymore."

"Next time you see him, remember to apologize to him for me."

"at last......"

"Lu Chen, I started to like you from that day."

The light from the street lamp fell on the swaying hem of her skirt, and her hair swayed in the evening breeze. Looking at Lu Chen, Lu Shuyu's expression was calm and serious from beginning to end.

There is no doubt that these words can be regarded as a "confession".

But to Lu Chen, it sounded more like a "farewell".

"I......"

His heart seemed to be suddenly grasped by a huge hand. He opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to say something.

But the next second, Lu Shuyu interrupted him softly:

"Hey, listen to me first."

"..."

His open mouth slowly closed again, Lu Chen tried to adjust his emotions and nodded slightly.

Lu Shuyu was silent for a while, and then continued:

"Later, we went shopping together, played claw machines, and went to Wang Tianyu's birthday party."

"That's when I started to hate Zhou Yan."

"You know, I don't actually hate her because she likes you too."

"It's because she had given up on you before, but now she regrets it."

"That's why I hate her, because I don't think she really likes you."

"Fortunately, you no longer like her. I was happy for a long time."

"It's just...it was only later that I found out that the person you liked was Wan Qing."

He lowered his head and when he said this, there was not pain in Lu Shuyu's eyes, but an indescribable regret.

At this point, Lu Chen actually knew exactly what the "giving up" meant when the rich young woman said "there will be no chance in the future".

But he couldn't say anything to keep her.

On the one hand, it’s because of Qingbao.

On the other hand, if we look back at what happened during his "relationship" with Lu Shuyu, it seems that he has no right to keep her.

What's more, Lu Shuyu has already made a decision.

When a person without a strong opinion suddenly develops one, this choice will be unshakable.

Therefore, he could only look at Lu Shuyu silently, listening to what the latter continued to say with a complicated mood that he himself did not understand.

"Lu Chen, Dad has already told you about us."

“When I first learned about this, I was actually troubled for a long time.”

"I don't know why grandpa did this, and I don't know why it was me."

"But soon I stopped worrying about it and became very happy."

"Because this way I'll have a reason to stay by your side, even if you already have someone you like."

"After all, I am your destined bride."

"So I went back to Shandong with you to meet your uncle and aunt before Wanqing did, and kept telling myself that you liked me, too."

"But it wasn't until now that I realized that Grandpa was wrong."

"I will never be better than classmate Wanqing. She is your bride, not me..."

"Oh, don't look at me like that! If you keep doing that I'm going to cry!"

Suddenly, Lu Shuyu turned her head away, not daring to look at Lu Chen again. She turned her back and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes.

After adjusting for a long time, when she turned back, her expression had become relaxed again.

"Humph, don't deny it. I have evidence."

She pouted and took out a small velvet box from her bag while speaking.

Regardless of Lu Chen's expression at the moment, Lu Shuyu directly opened the box, revealing the necklace inside.

"Look, this is what's in the safe."

"..."

A gust of night wind blew by, heralding the coming of a rainstorm.

Under the dim street lights, when Lu Chen saw the necklace clearly, he was stunned for a moment.

A thin silver chain, a dandelion pendant...this is the necklace I gave to Qingbao!

Absolutely right!

Of course, the necklace itself is not a "custom-made" style, and there is definitely not only one in the world.

But what Lu Shuyu just said was that this was taken from the safe...

so......

Looking up at Lu Shuyu blankly, at that moment, Lu Chen finally understood why she said that this necklace was the "evidence" that she would never be able to surpass Qin Wanqing.

There is no doubt that Lu Shuyu would not lie to himself about such a thing.
