C193 (1/2)

The school's bell rang again after school was let out. Chu Yu packed his stuff and walked out of the classroom after the class had ended.

Just as he walked a few steps, his phone rang.

”Class has ended?” A calm and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone, causing her heart to skip a beat. She was somewhat surprised by his sudden call.

Chu Yu nodded, then thought that this was a call, and opened his mouth again: ”How do you know?”

When the bell for the end of class rang, Xiang Qicheng called.

”I heard it.” Xiang Qicheng's tone of voice had lost its usual severity, and at the moment, he was joking around, with a trace of laziness, it was something rarely seen.

”Liar, has the company's matter been resolved?” Chu Yu laughed as he pouted, he then remembered to hide his smile and asked worriedly.

This was the first time they had talked on the phone since she came back to Australia from the Anlan City, and there was not a single text message between them. Other than the message he sent to Xiang Qicheng on the day she arrived in Australia to inform him of her safety, he coldly replied ”En, the two of them no longer have any connection at all.

However, it was not a long time. It was only a short half a month. She busied herself with the academy's pre-competition training and various courses. She wished she could divide the time into 48 hours a day, but there was still not enough. He busied himself with the company's affairs, surrounded by piles of documents every day, not even eating when he was busy.

Although they did not contact each other, the two of them had an inexplicable tacit understanding in their hearts, so much so that when they picked up the phone, they did not feel that it was strange at all.

”En, there's only one more item left. I'll come to Australia to find you in a few days.” Xiang Qicheng replied from the other side of the phone.

Chu Yu was finally relieved.

In Anlan City, she would always be able to find various kinds of news related to Xiang Family Group on the web, as if the matter was extremely serious. After arriving in Australia, she purposely avoided looking at the information online. Even if she accidentally saw it, she would immediately skip it and not click on it.

Because she believed that Xiang Qicheng would definitely be able to settle the matter this time. As expected, it had more or less been settled in the short span of half a month. Moreover, from his tone, it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

”Don't worry, I'm busy preparing for the international design competition right now. You can stay in the country for two days to accompany Old Mistress Xiang … Oh right, how is Old Mistress doing? ” Chu Yu slowed down his pace as he walked on the school path, holding the book in his hands.

Old Mistress Xiang was the one who was most reluctant to part with her when she went back to Australia. She kept patting the back of Chu Yu's hand, telling him to come back often to take a look before she left. After staying together for so many days, his feelings had finally come to fruition. Chu Yu was somewhat worried for Old Mistress Xiang as well.

”Grandmother missed you a lot, and asked you yesterday when you would be back. ”And …” Xiang Qicheng suddenly stopped talking, the other side of the phone went silent.

”What else?” Chu Yu could not help but ask.

”And when we're going to get married.” Xiang Qicheng's words were like a feather that entered Chu Yu's ears. When the wind blew, the trees on both sides of the school path rustled, and a few leaves slid down from Xiang Qicheng's shoulders to the ground.

She was clearly on the other side of the phone, but her face was still red. She couldn't help but smile as she said, ”Who said I'm going to marry you?”

Although he said it like that, Chu Yu's heart was filled with sweetness. She lifted her eyes to look at the blue sky and white clouds, and her mood inexplicably became good.

The two of them chatted for a while longer before hanging up. Chu Yu looked at his phone screen and laughed foolishly. When he raised his head, he realized that he was once again at the entrance of the school building.
