Chapter 229 No One Can Help but Love Liu Ou
Liu Ou had another suitcase at her feet.
Lin Yu strode over, and Liu Ou greeted him with outstretched arms and a smile.
Lin Yu reached out and lifted her into his arms.
Liu Ou, suddenly hoisted up, hastily wrapped her arms around him, slightly afraid.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing!"
"Holding my girlfriend~" Lin Yu said and pecked her on the lips, "Have you been waiting long?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Liu Ou shook her head, "No, I just got off the train and it hasn't been ten minutes; timed it pretty well."
Lin Yu couldn't resist and kissed her on the lips again.
It was Liu Ou who noticed two girls laughing as they came down from the building above, making her a bit embarrassed as she gently pushed Lin Yu, "Put me down, aren't you tired?"
Lin Yu replied as if it was obvious, "Not tired at all, you're too light."
After a few pats from her, he still set her down.
Liu Ou muttered softly, "Don't understand how you have time to exercise with your busy days."
How can you still have muscles?
Lin Yu sighed, "We do have some fitness equipment in the dormitory. As doctors, we can't afford to lack physical strength, that's what our teacher says."
After all, sometimes surgeries last several hours.
Sometimes there are several operations in one day, so doctors definitely need to be fit.
Even those who seem to have put on weight, the chubby doctors, they exercise in private too.
The saying that health is the capital of revolution suits them well.
Liu Ou laughed, blinked, leaned in, and whispered, "Your six-pack abs are also very sexy, I like them a lot."
Then Lin Yu's ears turned slightly red, somewhat embarrassed.
He picked up her suitcase with one hand and held her hand with the other, awkwardly changing the subject, "Let's go eat, we have a nine o'clock flight tonight..."
Liu Ou, watching his reddened ears, was full of amusement; her boyfriend was just too cute,
blushing at every tease.
Despite having been intimate, he still got embarrassed whenever teased in public.
But Liu Ou wouldn't dare at home or in a private space; he was too fierce.
Lin Yu glanced at the suitcase in his hand, "Isn't this a bit too much for just one day?"
Liu Ou made an indifferent sound, "Yeah, so let's go to the residential area across from the school and put the luggage away first."
Lin Yu stopped in his tracks, turned his head sharply towards her, his eyes filled with surprise, "What?"
Liu Ou still smiled, her face full of tenderness, "Didn't I tell you I was going out for an internship? I found a place for it, right here in this city."
She spoke earnestly, "You said you don't have time, right? No worries, I'm here now. My job is flexible."
Lin Yu digested the implications of her words. Liu Ou had come to his city?
Rented a place right across from the school?
"You... when did you plan this? You didn't even tell me beforehand, I... I should have helped you find a place..." Lin Yu felt he was struggling to speak clearly.
At that moment, he heard the thumping of his own heart, so loud.
But all the words he wanted to say jammed up at his lips, leaving him speechless.
In the end, he released the suitcase, once again took Liu Ou in his arms, and lowered his head to rest it on her slender shoulder, "Thank you for being willing to come."
Liu Ou wrapped her arms around him, "I've said from the start that distance isn't a problem, it doesn't matter if you don't have time; look, I'm here, aren't I?"
"Dr. Lin, it's okay, I'm here now, wherever you are, I can come find you."
Liu Ou's voice was soft, but it instantly brought tears to Lin Yu's eyes.
He met an exceptionally outstanding girl at the prime of his youth, and he thought there was no chance for them.
Though he didn't want to let go, he still hid all his thoughts, afraid of causing her trouble.
But at this moment, the girl suddenly took the initiative to approach him and asked, "Shall we give it a try?"
Lin Yu wasn't someone known for taking risks, as his circumstances didn't really allow it.
However, the one thing he did risk was falling for Liu Ou from the start—an adventure into a path ahead unclear.
Yet, he still went forward.
In the end, he only walked less than one-third of the way.
Suddenly, lights lit up on the path ahead.
The treasure he longed to find illuminated his way and then smiled at him, saying, "Aren't you coming over?"
Lin Yu couldn't help but be moved.
But he was also anxious because she was too perfect.
And what he could offer her was far too little.
But Liu Ou was strong in her own right, needing no one else to give her many things. She could acquire them herself.
Like with feelings, once she saw clearly, she could ask without hesitation, "Shall we try it?"
Once together, she would tell Lin Yu, "It's okay, distance is not a problem. If you're busy, I'll come to see you."
When Lin Yu hadn't finished paying off his debts, each time they went out, she would patiently and seriously say, "We go Dutch not because I want to keep things clear or because I don't trust you. I just hope you can feel at ease soon. Doctor Lin, work hard to make money, will you, to provide for me and grandma?"
After she graduated, Lin Yu was still in school.
She appeared in front of Lin Yu once more, with her luggage in tow, and said with a smile, "See, I'm here."
Lin Yu couldn't find a reason not to love Liu Ou; nobody could not love Liu Ou.
Every promise she made came true.
Lin Yu felt that it would indeed be embarrassing to cry, but tears had a mind of their own.
Otherwise, why would he actually start crying?
He was really tired after all, for Lin Yu was only in his early twenties.
But on this journey, each time he felt exhausted, there was always someone by his side to support him.
He couldn't have made it without the support of everyone around him.
Among them, Liu Ou was the most special one.
Ever since the two got together, it seemed that whenever he turned around, she and grandma would always be there, watching him from behind.
Lin Yu's voice was choked, "You came..."
Pity filled Liu Ou's eyes as she gently stroked his back. The boy looked so much taller than her, but at that moment, he hugged her tightly like a child, secretly shedding tears, looking pitiful yet endearing.
Her voice was tender, "Doctor Lin, I always keep my word. Here I am. You focus on your studies. Grandma wanted to accompany you through school but didn't succeed, so I'll do it for her,"
That soft yet steadfast voice hammered at Lin Yu's heart, "It's okay, we'll always be with you."
So go on and fly, young man, just like everyone else.
You are no different.
Lin Yu hummed softly, closing his eyes to stop the tears from flowing, "Alright, I'll work hard."
To study hard, to win the approval of your family.
And work hard... to marry you.
Liu Ou ruffled his hair with a helpless tone, "Okay now. If someone sees you crying, it's only you who'll feel awkward."
Lin Yu childishly retorted, "I don't care."
There's nothing embarrassing about holding one's own wife!
