Lin Yu heard the affirmative answer, and his heart suddenly dropped.
This was an unexpected surprise.
He had never thought he would end up with Liu Ou at this mont.
But he also knew he couldn't refuse Liu Ou's confession because he liked her too.
Liking Liu Ou seed to be such a natural thing.
It started with that bag of soon-to-expire snacks, or maybe even earlier, probably from the Hai Ou avatar she used to secretly transfer money.
At first, it was just curiosity.
That night, grandmother returned and said, "This girl often cos to eat rice balls by herself."
Grandmother's tone was a bit puzzled, "She seems to live nearby, I feel like this young lady must be unhappy at ho or at school. She always looks down whenever she cos."
Lin Yu, who was helping to unload things at the ti, curiously asked, "Why is she unhappy?"
At school, she seed to have good relationships with everyone; she didn't look unhappy at all.
The old lady gave him a look of disdain, "How are you going to court a young lady with this attitude? Xiao Xie is much more thoughtful..."
Lin Yu was sowhat speechless, how did this relate to dating?
And he didn't want to date the "young ladies" anyway.
He really thought buying the nearly expired snacks was a good deal.
But Xie Xiao's reaction at that ti made Lin Yu wonder, maybe it was really rude?
However, Liu Ou took them with a smile, her smile was very natural as she spoke of the good deal.
Later on, Lin Yu transferred her money again. But she just patted the plastic bag ready for lunch and said, "I've eaten everything, you're not thinking of taking it back, are you?"
At that ti, Lin Yu felt she was a very comfortable person to be around, very cheerful, and he didn't understand why his grandmother said she was always in a bad mood.
Ti passed, and they got to know each other better.
Xie Xiao, that rascal, really managed to woo the senior girl.
It was truly miraculous.
Lin Yu had never seriously liked a girl before, and of course, celebrities didn't count.
So he couldn't understand Xie Xiao and Luo's feelings for the senior girl.
But that didn't prevent him from frequently being the third wheel.
Fortunately, he wasn't alone; there was also the helpless Liu Ou.
And just like that, it seed natural for them to beco familiar with each other.
On Saturday night, the three of them sat in a corner chatting and waiting for him.
Lin Yu was happy about it, like a little kid who suddenly had many good friends to share everything with. It was a delightful thing.
But now, two of those friends had started to cling to each other more and more.
Escorting Liu Ou ho had beco a habit for him.
Even though Liu Ou emphasized many tis that she could go back by herself.
It really wasn't far, just across the street.
Normally, Lin Yu was a person who disliked hassle. If it were soone else, he might really just stand across the street and watch the person enter the neighborhood and leave it at that, but with Liu Ou...
He still escorted her every ti.
At that ti, Lin Yu didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
Not until one night when he suddenly woke up from a dream.
Then he found himself soaking bedsheets in the yard in the middle of the night and smoked three cigarettes.
That's when he realized he might have fallen for Liu Ou.
A young man's affection is too clumsy and was quickly noticed.
Liu Ou began to dodge him intentionally or unintentionally, and Lin Yu felt saddened.
But he could understand, just because he liked her didn't an she had to like him back, right?
Logically, he could accept it, but emotionally, it seed he couldn't.
He still went ahead and kissed her, almost as if stealing a kiss through murky waters.
That night, the fireworks seed to change.
And Liu Ou did not dodge.
Lin Yu couldn't help thinking that maybe he still had a chance, right?

Liu Ou said that everything would wait until after the college entrance exam.
But after the exam, he found no ti to be alone with her.
Lin Yu had understood her aning.
Everything seed to have naturally passed by.
He and his grandmother moved to a neighboring city ahead of ti.
Once, Liu Ou did call him, but he missed it.
When he called back much later, she finally answered, "You've moved to the neighboring city already?"
Over the phone, Lin Yu always felt her tone seed sowhat rushed.
But since he was outside, his tone was hasty as well, "Yes, a couple of days ago."
There was a long silence on the other end before she said, "It's nothing. I was just passing by. Work hard when school starts."
That was the last ti they talked on the phone.
Once school started, he barely had any contact with Liu Ou, no calls, no WeChat.
He would occasionally see her updates on Monts and knew her college life was rich.
Lin Yu felt his college life was also rich and fulfilling.
Only occasionally, when he saw the pictures of other males in her Monts, he couldn't help but secretly compare them in his heart.
It seed none was better than him.
Of course, this was only in terms of appearance. If it ca to family,
Lin Yu was sowhat self-deprecating, as anyone would be better than him, at least they weren't in debt.
The uncontrollable inferiority of a young man's heart.
It wasn't until they had a video call with four of them that Lin Yu realized how much he missed her.
She looked a bit tanned and thinner, but she still looked the sa as he rembered.
The two didn't chat intentionally, just naturally joining in on Xie Xiao's conversations from ti to ti.
Occasionally, they spoke a few words to each other. Everything seed just as before,
yet it also seed different, and in the end, Lin Yu left in sothing akin to a panic.
He didn't have class, but he claid he still had things to do.
That day, he sat on the balcony smoking half a pack of cigarettes, and his roommate asked with concern what was wrong.
Lin Yu just smiled, "Nothing, just feeling a bit sad."
Why doesn't the girl I like, like back?
The good thing was that the current Lin Yu had learned to control his emotions.
It wasn't until after the sester ended and he went ho that he found out Liu Ou had started her vacation early, which surprised him since he thought she might travel first before returning.
But she went straight ho and even appeared at the stall the next day after he got back.
Grandma wasn't surprised, "Hai Ou is here? Eating rice balls today as well?"
Liu Ou glanced at Lin Yu and then said to grandma with a smile, "Yeah, still the rice balls..."
She bought the rice balls and left without lingering or sitting down in her usual corner.
Grandma ntioned that she had been like this for a while, coming over every other day.
And then the next day, she ca again, continuing for several days in a row.
They chatted like normal friends for a bit, and then Lin Yu would walk her ho, in silence the entire way.
Until today, when she was the first to speak.
Lin Yu thought maybe Xie Xiao had said sothing to her; otherwise, how could she have changed so suddenly?
But no matter, this ti she was the one who initiated it.
He wouldn't easily let go of what he had in his hands.
Lin Yu stretched out his arms and embraced her. His body was sowhat stiff, and he could feel that Liu Ou was as well, but Lin Yu still said softly, "I gave you a chance, and from now on, I won't let go easily."
In his arms, the girl also said softly, "Then don't let go, keep holding …"
Let fully possess a love that belongs to .
