They had not seen each other for three years. She thought of him every day. She knew he was in China and could not possibly be here. The sight of him shocked her!
The books in her hand fell without her noticing. The leaves on the ground were sent flying as the person opposite her opened his arms. Her body reacted before her mind, and she ran over to him.
The person she longed for rushed over and swept her into his arms. At the moment, Mo Beihan felt completely at peace.
He could finally see his girl. He had waited for more than three years. He had missed her so much!
“Brother… Brother Beihan… why are you here?”
Gu Qingyao was so agitated her voice shook.
Mo Beihan bent to lean his forehead against hers and nuzzled her affectionately. “I’m here to see you!”
In the three years they had been apart, this girl had grown up. She was much more mature. She had lost her girlish air and was now more elegant and charming.
Gu Qingyao almost cried when she heard these words.
To see her!
He had come to see her!
Three years. She had been gone for three years. They were supposed to get married, but she had left at the last minute.
For both of them, the three years had been a torment!
But neither of them regretted it!
Mo Beihan held her hand and picked up the books she had scattered, then they left the campus, still holding hands.
“Come with me!”
Gu Qingyao clutched his arm and trotted along beside him.
“Why are you here? Is it for an interview? How did you know I was here? I just moved to this school for my doctorate. I stay nearby. I…”
Mo Beihan stopped. “You live nearby?”
Gu Qingyao nodded. “That’s right! Right over there.”
She pointed towards a place not far from the campus.
This was a different city from where the Qiao family lived, but an adjacent city that was not too far away. After she moved here to study, her mother bought a place for her for convenience.
She now lived here.
“Do you live alone?” Mo Beihan looked over. It was very near.
Gu Qingyao nodded. “Yes!”
“Let’s go!”
The moment Gu Qingyao finished speaking, Mo Beihan started to move, dragging her along. He walked so quickly that she almost had to run to keep up.
Gu Qingyao’s house was very near the school. Qiao Yuying especially found this house for her so that it would be convenient for her daughter to attend classes.
It was a small, two-story house. It looked rather old, but Qiao Yuying had found someone to renovate it. When they entered, it looked like a new house.
Gu Qingyao led Mo Beihan in. The moment they entered, he pressed her against the door, which slammed shut. Before she could even exclaim, her lips were blocked.
“Um…”
“Where’s the bedroom?”
Gu Qingyao’s heart was pounding. She was so nervous her mind went blank. “Up-upstairs…”
Mo Beihan carried her up the stairs, into the bedroom.
Gu Qingyao grew desperately nervous when the room door closed. She only heard him murmur in her ear, “Yao Yao, I can’t wait any longer!”
It was evening outside. They lay entwined with each other in the quiet twilight. The sky slowly darkened and the moon rose amidst a glittering sea of stars. When Gu Qingyao awoke, it was the next morning.
The light in the room was still on. She turned to look at the person next to her. She felt as though she was in a dream!
They… were together now?
After their past life, they were finally together in this life!
