On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chen Mo didn't speak.

He could only spend a few days with his parents each time before they had to part ways, which made it a little difficult for him to smile.

"Hey, don't look like that, it's not like we'll never see each other again!

" Chen Xi patted his shoulder casually, but there was a hint of guilt hidden in her eyes.

"Your birthday is over, you're an adult now, you're all grown up now, you need to learn to fly on your own!

Qingqing, keep an eye on him for Auntie!

""Mm.

" Su Yuqing nodded seriously.

Chen Xi gave a few more instructions, then yawned and left.

Only Chen Mo and Su Yuqing remained in the living room.

The space, which had been bustling and noisy all day, suddenly fell silent, leaving only the sound of each other's heartbeats and breaths.

The tacit understanding and warmth after a wonderful day together flowed in the air.

The two exchanged a smile, needing no words.

"Are you tired?

" Chen Mo looked at Su Yuqing's eyes, which were somewhat tired but still bright.

"Yeah, a little, but I'm very happy, especially happy.

" Su Yuqing's voice was tinged with contentment and languor.

"Let's tidy up the house tomorrow, get some rest.

" Chen Mo lowered his head and placed a kiss on the top of her head.

When the two finished washing up, changed into comfortable pajamas, and went back to bed, it was already close to midnight.

The city lights outside the window still shone brightly, but inside the room was quiet.

Su Yuqing lay on her side, facing Chen Mo, tracing his outline in the darkness by the faint light from the window.

The events of today replayed in my mind like scenes from a movie, and a strong emotion welled up in my heart.

She reached out and gently stroked Chen Mo's cheek.

Chen Mo turned around and pulled her into his arms.

Su Yuqing nestled in his arms, her cheek pressed against his warm chest.

Listening to his steady heartbeat, she felt a sense of calm, peace, and happiness.

Soon, a wave of exhaustion washed over her, and her eyelids gradually grew heavy and closed.

But a sweet smile remained on her lips.

"Happy birthday~" Her voice gradually faded, her breathing became long and even, and she finally drifted into a sweet dream.

Chen Mo held her close, feeling the softness of her body and the trust in her embrace, a sense of peace and contentment filling his heart.

He lowered his head and placed a gentle goodnight kiss on the sleeping girl's forehead before drifting off to sleep.

A few days later, two admission notices for the Clinical Medicine (eight-year undergraduate-doctoral program) program at Xiangchuan Medical College of Central Hunan University arrived with the sound of a doorbell.

The rest of the summer vacation flew by amidst busy preparations and sweet moments spent together.

The two of them bought daily necessities together and researched rental information in Xiangchuan, but ultimately decided to live in the school dormitory for a year to get used to the environment and interpersonal relationships with classmates.

The most important thing is that living together makes it increasingly difficult for the two of them to control themselves.

In the days leading up to my departure, a faint sense of melancholy permeated the house.

Grandpa and Grandma checked their luggage again and again, nagging them with reminders like "Remember to wear more clothes when it gets cold" and "Eat on time," their eyes filled with reluctance.

Although the two children lived in a city apart from them, it was only the distance between the new city and the old city, and they could see each other by taking a bus.

Now that they've left, they're going to another province.

It won't be easy to meet again.

Although Chen Xi was far away overseas, the video calls never stopped.

He lamented that he was too busy to see him off, and repeatedly emphasized various precautions.

Finally, he couldn't help but tease, "Qingqing, you have to keep an eye on this kid when he goes to Zhongxiang University.

Don't let him be lured away by the hot girls from Hunan!

"Su Yuqing simply smiled and agreed to her future mother-in-law's advice, without taking it to heart.

After all, she had a lot of confidence in her relationship with Chen Mo.

In the last period before leaving, Chen Mo, Su Yuqing, Zhao Yueyue, Huang Mao, Zhou Hao and others gathered again to say their final goodbyes.

After all, they would be going their separate ways.

The gathering was filled with a group of young people's uncertainty and expectations for the future.

Only Chen Mo remained relatively calm.

The air was slightly cool in the early morning of September.

After saying goodbye to his grandparents, Li Fengzhi, Li Gang, and others who came to see him off, Chen Mo took Su Yuqing's hand and walked into the bustling airport.

Grandpa and Grandma stood outside the security checkpoint, waving vigorously, their figures appearing somewhat blurry in the backlight.

Su Yuqing turned around and saw her grandmother quietly wiping the corner of her eye.

This instantly reminded her of her maternal grandmother, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, her eyes also becoming a little hot.

Chen Mo felt the slight tremor in her fingertips, gripped her hand even tighter, and whispered, "I'll be back for winter break.

"Since Chen Xi couldn't come to see them off, out of a sense of indebtedness, she upgraded their tickets to first class.

They went directly to the exclusive check-in area for first class/business class/airline elite members.

There are significantly fewer check-in counters here than in economy class.

Unlike the crowded economy class check-in area, the first class check-in counters are remarkably spacious and quiet.

The ground staff were friendly and efficient in processing the check-in procedures.

Watching her suitcase being sent away with a priority tag, Su Yuqing was filled with curiosity, after all, this was her first time on a plane, and her first time traveling far from home.

The furthest I've ever been from Jiangcheng was Bikong Island, which I visited by ferry.

Every trip is a new experience for her.

After checking in, the ground staff directed them to the [First Class/Business Class/Airline Elite Member Security Checkpoint].

Su Yuqing could clearly feel the efficiency here.

The hustle and bustle was instantly shut out behind you by the dedicated fast security check lane.

The guide led them to the first-class VIP lounge.

The moment she pushed open the door, Su Yuqing paused slightly.

This place was completely different from the waiting hall she had imagined.

Soft lighting, large and comfortable sofas arranged in a staggered pattern, and the busy scene of airplanes taking off and landing outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is filtered into a silent picture by the soundproof glass.

The air was filled with the aroma of freshly ground coffee, delicate pastries, and food.

The buffet table is stocked with a wide variety of hot and cold dishes, fresh fruits and desserts, while the bar offers a variety of drinks.

"Isn't this a lounge?

Why does it feel like a restaurant?

" Su Yuqing looked around curiously.

"This is what the airport waiting area is like.

It's all self-service and free.

What would you like to eat?

" Chen Mo looked at her gently.

"Huh?

All this food is free?

" Su Yuqing looked around in surprise.

"It's not exactly free, we've already paid for our tickets," Chen Mo replied with a smile.

"Will eating before boarding the plane cause motion sickness?

" Su Yuqing had never flown before, so she could only quietly learn from Chen Mo's experience, afraid of making a fool of herself.

"Don't worry, just don't eat too much.

If you couldn't eat before boarding a plane, the lounge here wouldn't be designed this way.

It's okay to grab a bite before your flight," Chen Mo said with a smile, patting Su Yuqing's hand.
