Chapter 78 Parting
One day, Lu Yuzhu had an argument with her mother.
Because Lu Yuzhu herself loves jewelry design, she secretly drew many different design sketches and even secretly entered a competition.
When her mother found out about this, she strongly objected, telling her not to focus on it and admonishing her that she should study hard and learn architecture so that she could have a better future.
Then her mother canceled the competition for her.
Yes, Lu Yuzhu was forced to choose architecture as her major.
When Lu Yuzhu heard that her mother had thrown away some of her drawings that she had hidden in her room, she couldn't help but argue with her mother.
Her mother said many hurtful things, and sometimes Lu Yuzhu even wondered how someone like her mother could become a teacher.
She only uses a suppressive style of education, and even other people's hobbies and interests are not allowed if her mother doesn't like them.
Lu Yuzhu hung up the phone and cried alone in the bathroom for a long time.
She felt extremely depressed. She had been following her family's arrangements in everything, choosing a major she didn't like and learning many talents she didn't enjoy.
After crying, Lu Yuzhu looked indifferent and put all the design drawings she had made on the table into a bag.
She picked up the bag and left the dormitory, going downstairs.
Her mind kept replaying the words her parents had said to her, and her heart ached as if it were being pricked by needles.
Her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
Just then, she bumped into a solid back.
Ning Anyuan took two steps back with his back to Lu Yuzhu, unexpectedly knocking Lu Yuzhu, who wasn't looking where she was going, to the ground.
He quickly turned around, squatted down, and asked with concern, "Excuse me, classmate, I didn't notice someone behind me."
As Lu Yuzhu threw the bag, the sketches in her hand scattered all over the ground.
The tears that had just welled up in her eyes were suddenly knocked down.
When Ning Anyuan saw her crying, he panicked a little: "Did you hurt yourself? I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
"How about I take you to the infirmary to get checked out?"
Lu Yuzhu raised her head slightly and saw Ning Anyuan squatting in front of her.
She was slightly stunned.
Ning Anyuan was also quite surprised to see Lu Yuzhu: "It's you, Lu Yuzhu?"
"Excuse me, Lu, let me help you up."
If it's serious, I'll take you to the infirmary.
Ning Anyuan then reached out and helped her up.
Lu Yuzhu wiped away her tears and said somewhat awkwardly, "No...it's nothing."
Ning Anyuan felt extremely guilty, thinking that he had bumped into her and made her cry: "Don't cry, I'm really sorry."
"If she really hurt herself, we still need to go and check on her."
Ning Anyuan saw the scattered drawings next to her, and then squatted down to pick them up for her.
Lu Yuzhu saw this and went over to pick up the fallen artwork.
After picking up the drawings, Lu Yuzhu said to Ning Anyuan, "I'm really fine. I didn't cry because you bumped into me and hurt me. You don't need to worry about me."
Ning Anyuan looked at her. Lu Yuzhu's eyes were still red, and it seemed that she had been crying for a long time. She must have encountered something sad.
He hesitated for two seconds before saying, "Are you really alright?"
"Then let me treat you to a meal. You helped me find Little Orange last time, and this time I bumped into you again."
Lu Yuzhu quickly waved her hand: "No need, no need, it's not a big deal."
Then Lu Yuzhu walked to the trash can next to her and threw the design draft she was carrying into it.
Ning Anyuan was somewhat surprised when he saw it: "How did you lose them all? Your drawings were quite beautiful."
Then he suddenly remembered something: "But you and Tan Wen should be in the same major, right? Architecture?"
Tan Wen is Lu Yuzhu's roommate.
Lu Yuzhu lowered her head, her eyes dark and unfathomable.
She nodded: "Jewelry design is just a hobby of mine."
Then her gaze lingered on the trash can: "These won't be needed anymore."
Ning Anyuan noticed that her tone was a little off, so he invited Lu Yuzhu to dinner again.
Lu Yuzhu wasn't good at saying no, but she eventually agreed.
……
Ning Anyuan took Lu Yuzhu to a restaurant. After they ordered, Ning Anyuan took out his phone and showed Lu Yuzhu pictures of Xiao Juzi.
"Look, Little Orange's leg is much better now, and it's had a good appetite these past few days," Ning Anyuan said, holding up his phone.
Lu Yuzhu stared at the kitten on her phone, its round eyes looking at the camera; it was tiny and incredibly cute.
Ning Anyuan continued scrolling through the photo album, showing her videos of Xiao Ju Zi. As she watched, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
Ning Anyuan should take good care of it.
After putting his phone away, Ning Anyuan noticed that Lu Yuzhu's expression had softened and said, "I can tell you really like kittens, and you're quite responsible too."
“I think these kittens are like children, they need adults to take good care of them,” Lu Yuzhu replied with a slight smile.
Ning Anyuan started a long conversation with her, but at first Lu Yuzhu didn't intend to tell him her private affairs because she felt her family was in a terrible state.
As they got to know each other better, she realized that Ning Anyuan was a reliable person, and gradually she told him about these things.
Lu Yuzhu's parents not only had high expectations of her and put a lot of pressure on her, but their relationship had also broken down long ago.
Lu Yuzhu overheard her mother talking to someone, saying that they didn't divorce Lu Yuzhu's father because of her, and that if Lu Yuzhu didn't amount to anything in the future, she would be letting down all that hard work.
Isn't this yet another heavy blow to Lu Yuzhu?
It was from this point that the two gradually became acquainted. It could be said that Ning Anyuan was her psychological mentor, and she was able to get back into jewelry design because of his encouragement.
This made her feel that not everyone supported her.
Over time, the two of them gradually realized that a feeling was growing in their hearts.
Before she could even speak, Lu Yuzhu was about to be sent abroad.
Lu Yuzhu had no say in her family. She had tried to fight for it and she had objected, but ultimately, those two people were her parents.
She is still a student and has no leverage to fight against her family.
This happened very suddenly. They had already contacted schools and tutors abroad without consulting her, and Lu Yuzhu was only told about it on the way home when her mother picked her up.
That day, she had another big fight with her parents. They said that she had completely changed after going to university, and that she had learned to disobey them and argue with them.
Lu Yuzhu was once in despair. She knew that she was a weak and incompetent person. She felt very conflicted, but she also knew that her parents would not think from her perspective. She could never communicate with them.
She longed to grow up quickly and escape this home.
After locking herself in at home for a day, she went back to school with her mother to pack her things and go through the necessary procedures.
She hadn't seen Ning Anyuan for the past few days. The thought of that parting made her feel like she was being suffocated by something.
After they finished doing all that, Lu Yuzhu's mother pulled Lu Yuzhu away from the school.
She was conflicted, and then she took out her phone and sent a message to Ning Anyuan.
Lu Yuzhu: I'm leaving school now, I'm going abroad tomorrow. It's very sudden, it's a decision made by my parents.
Ning Anyuan quickly replied: Wait for me.
Ning Anyuan: See you again
Upon seeing this message, Lu Yuzhu suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Lu Yuzhu's mother noticed she hadn't followed and frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Hurry up and catch up!"
Lu Yuzhu gripped her phone, biting her lip. "Mom, I suddenly remembered I forgot something. I'll go back and get it, it'll be quick."
Then Lu Yuzhu turned around and started jogging.
Ning Anyuan: The old locust tree in the direction of your dormitory
After seeing the message, Lu Yuzhu quickened her pace.
Ning Anyuan had only been under the locust tree for a short time, and he was still panting.
He saw Lu Yuzhu running towards him.
Lu Yuzhu stopped in front of him, panting heavily, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him.
Ning Anyuan stared intently at her, but couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted to say.
Two seconds later, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
