Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Lin Yu watched the smile at the corners of her mouth and was also surprised by her words, "You? Will your parents agree?"

Initially, Liu Ou had basically compromised, and chose a major according to her parents' wishes. They all felt sorry for her, but they also respected her choice.

But now, she said she had changed her major.

Lin Yu was somewhat worried; he remembered the first time he went to Liu Ou's house and heard such a commotion at their doorstep.

Her parents both seemed to have bad tempers. Lin Yu frowned and said, "Are you still going back home?"

Liu Ou nodded, "Running away is useless. If I don't go back now, I'll have to face it sooner or later. They're not as terrible as you think."

Her voice was very light, "They have never laid a hand on me."

Even their reprimands were only with a stern tone; there was no frantic anger or blame like in other families.

What they said more often was, "Reflect on yourself!"

Of course, more often than not, they didn't have the time to care for her.

Liu Ou felt like her rebellious phase had arrived late.

She wasn't afraid of facing her irate parents.

She was even somewhat looking forward to it.

Lin Yu sighed, "Why would you change majors when everything was going well?"

Lin Yu knew that Liu Ou liked photography, but that didn't mean she genuinely disliked her original major.

On the contrary, she was actually quite fond of that major. What she liked least was her parents' attitude.

But since she had accepted it, why had she suddenly changed?

Lin Yu wasn't as emotionally perceptive as Xie Xiao, and naturally, he didn't think to reflect upon himself. His question was one of genuine confusion.

Liu Ou's gaze fixed on his face, "Because I don't want to be obedient in everything, I seem to be an adult now, and I really don't want to go into politics, nor do I want to find someone of matched social status like they did and then have to forcibly stay together every day when we can't stand each other."

Liu Ou's voice was very light, "I want to live my own life."

Though Lin Yu wasn't as delicate in feelings as Xie Xiao, with Liu Ou speaking to this extent, if he still didn't feel anything, he would be a fool indeed.

He clenched the hand by his side and opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.

What would be appropriate to say? To urge her not to be impulsive?

To advise her to listen to her parents?

But neither bystanders nor participants would think Liu Ou's parents were right.

It seemed that in their eyes, Liu Ou was more like a doll without thoughts, expected to walk every path they arranged and hoped for her.

Moreover, the control over Liu Ou wasn't out of love for her, but more about their desire for control and to make up for their own regrets.

Lin Yu had met Liu Ou's father and mother only once.

But at that time, despite knowing Liu Ou was sleeping in the room, they didn't soften their loud argument and the crashing of objects at all, and it was quite heated.

They simply didn't care about Liu Ou's feelings, and it was likely this had happened many times before.

So if you were to say that Liu Ou's parents truly loved her and wanted the best for her, Lin Yu couldn't say those words.

Lin Yu felt that Liu Ou was more like someone from a wealthy family that was poor in spirit, at least in terms of the emotional needs towards her family members.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Initially, what she probably liked was not the rice balls her grandmother made.

It was more like she liked her grandmother as a person.

The grandmother gave Lin Yu all her love, so even without parents, Lin Yu's spiritual world wasn't impoverished as he grew up with his grandmother.

He grew up in love.

Grandma gave all her love to him.

Lin Yu majored in psychology at university.

Right then, as he looked at Liu Ou, he finally understood the emotions in her eyes.

Liu Ou might like him, now at this very moment.

At first, it was unclear whether it was because of Grandma or because of Lin Yu himself.

Lin Yu believed that even Liu Ou couldn't explain it clearly.

But Lin Yu didn't feel very happy.

Because Liu Ou's feelings might be different from his own.

"Lin Yu, you should be able to tell, right?" Liu Ou was very sensitive to people's emotional changes; she looked at the suddenly silent Lin Yu.

She simply lost the interest to beat around the bush, "I think I kind of like you. After entering university, I met a lot of people, and I had suitors, but it seems I still like you."

If it were half a year ago, no one would have imagined that Liu Ou would be the first to say "I like you."

After Liu Ou spoke out, she felt relieved, as it wasn't as difficult as she thought.

However, the silence of Lin Yu before her caused the light in her eyes to gradually dim. Indeed, after so long, her previous evasive attitude was hurtful enough, wasn't it? Why should someone just smile and say yes to being together because you like them...

"Are you sure you like me?" Lin Yu finally spoke, "I'm very busy at university, I have to work on research projects every day, and I have numerous lab classes, not to mention my daily full schedule."

Lin Yu's voice was slow, "On Saturdays and Sundays, I have to come back to help grandma with the stall, and there's also the debt my family owes, which hasn't been fully paid off. Although I now have a relatively stable income, compared to many carefree university students, I am too busy."

Liu Ou looked at Lin Yu before her, her eyes slowly lighting up again.

Seeing the hesitation on his face, she said, "I might not even have time to give you a glance..."

Lin Yu looked at Liu Ou, "If that's the case, would you be willing to date me?"

It didn't matter to Lin Yu why she liked him; after all, it was still liking, wasn't it?

As long as they stayed together for a while, if they could continue to walk together, she would definitely come to like him as a person.

But Lin Yu was very aware of his own situation, and he actually shouldn't be dating under these conditions.

Even if Liu Ou hadn't been straightforward tonight, Discover exclusive tales at empire

Lin Yu wouldn't have suggested being together at all.

This would be unfair to Liu Ou, and his own burden would only get heavier.

But for Lin Yu to outright reject Liu Ou's feelings, he truly couldn't bring himself to do it.

This was the girl he had liked for over a year, the girl he still secretly held in his heart; how could he possibly reject her?

Even if the road ahead was difficult, he still wanted to try it out.

And given Liu Ou's current situation, if he rejected her, she would probably just stand still, wouldn't she?

Deep down, Lin Yu even shamelessly wondered whether Liu Ou was standing up to her family a little bit because of him.

If that were truly the case, how could he possibly leave her on her own?

Lin Yu found many excuses for himself, but in the end, it was because he liked Liu Ou.

So he didn't want to let go or miss this rare opportunity.

He saw the brightness in Liu Ou's eyes as it grew, and her smile became more radiant.

She said, "It's okay, I can come back to see you. My courses aren't busy. I know studying medicine must be tiring and busy for you, and I've always liked to travel around. I'll just come back to see you."

She paused for a moment, "The debt your family owes, you can pay it back slowly. At least I can support myself now. No one can tell what the future holds, but right now, I really do like you a lot."

"So, Lin Yu, let's date."
