After the exam, Zhuang Mingyue held an umbrella at the school gate. The rain splashed down and wet her pantyhose. In the past, he would rarely be late when he came to pick her up.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, she decided to call him.

The voice message that sounded on his cell phone indicated that his cell phone number was not in the service area.

Zhuang Mingyue rubbed her arms, lowered her head and sent him a message.

There was no reply to several messages in a row. There was originally an engagement photo shoot today, so logically speaking, he would not be late.

Is something delayed?

Zhuang Mingyue wanted to contact Assistant Shen, but she remembered that she did not have his mobile phone number.

Seeing the rain getting heavier, Zhuang Mingyue found a convenience store, sat opposite the window, and took out her homework from her schoolbag.

Time passed little by little, and the salesperson came over and reminded: "This classmate is almost eight o'clock now, and we are closing."

"Sorry, I forgot the time, I'm leaving now."

Zhuang Mingyue took the time to pack her things. She didn't expect that it took so long to do the questions.

The sky outside has become pitch black.

Except for the students from Imperial No. 2 Middle School who had just finished their evening self-study, there was no one on the street now.

In fact, Zhuang Mingyue didn't wait too long, only one and a half hours.

When he didn't come, Zhuang Mingyue couldn't tell what kind of emotion he was feeling in his heart. If he wanted to say that he was feeling disappointed, maybe there was a little bit of it.

It seems like this kind of waiting is a normal thing for her.

At this point, if you want to get a taxi, you have to walk a long way to the city center square.

An orange cat suddenly jumped out from the roadside. It was already soaked and rubbed at her feet, meowing in its throat.

Zhuang Mingyue squatted down, "...Are you sick? I'm sorry, I can't take you home. It's already very late. I'll come to see you tomorrow, okay?"

The little orange cat meowed again, thinking it agreed.

"Miss Mingyue~"

Zhuang Mingyue turned her head and looked sideways when she heard the voice. At some point, the familiar car parked not far from her.

It's Uncle Wang.

I didn't expect that he would drive here in person today.

Zhuang Mingyue lowered her head and glanced at the kitten, "It seems...I can take you home."

She took off her school uniform and picked up the little orange cat.

Zhuang Mingyue put away her umbrella and trotted into the rear passenger seat despite the light rain. She closed the door and felt the temperature inside the car, and the coldness dissipated a bit.

Wang Fu stepped on the accelerator, "Miss Mingyue, the wild cats outside may carry viruses, so it's best not to take them home casually."

Zhuang Mingyue took out a few paper towels, lowered her head, and wiped the cat's hair, "It doesn't matter. When we go back, we can just vaccinate him and make him a maggot. But this cat looks like he is almost an adult."

"

Wang Fu looked thoughtfully in the rearview mirror and glanced at Zhuang Mingyue, who looked like nothing had happened. "I hope Miss Mingyue won't be angry about what happened today. The fact that the eldest young master didn't come is purely because something happened to the company."

Zhuang Mingyue wiped the cat's hand and paused, "Well, I understand."

Seeing that she was still fine, Wang Fu didn't say anything else.

In less than an hour, we arrived at the Jiang family’s old residence.

The servant stepped forward and took Zhuang Mingyue's schoolbag, "Miss Mingyue, dinner has been prepared for you. Why are you wet?"

"I'm fine. Mom Qian, please give this kitten a bath, dry it and send it to my room."

"good."

Zhuang Mingyue took the opportunity to take a shower upstairs, change her clothes, and then have dinner. This was... the first time she sat at such a big table and had dinner alone.

She held the review materials given by Xu Yan in her hand and ate them slowly while memorizing them silently.

After eating early, we went upstairs.

Zhuang Mingyue had no time to think about anything else. The exam was coming in less than ten days. She had to be in the best condition to face this exam, even if she had already been admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

The results she got from this test should not be too ugly.

At 11:30 p.m., she memorized a few words before going to bed, put down the book in her hand, and was about to turn off the light when the little orange cat under the bed jumped onto the bed, consciously lying on the pillow next to her bed, with her feet

Step on the breasts back and forth.

Zhuang Mingyue left only a bedside lamp and touched its head, "Why are you stepping on its breasts at such a big age?"

"Good night, Xiaoju."

Zhuang Mingyue closed her eyes and put her hands together under her face, and soon fell asleep.

It was already half past two in the morning when Jiang Yushu came back.

"Young Master." The servant's heart skipped a beat when he saw the wound on Jiang Yushu's mouth. He had been there before and understood how the wound came about.

Jiang Yushu was fine when he went out today, but when he came back, there was a wound on his lip. It is self-evident what the cause was.

Jiang Yushu was exhausted, but he exuded a strong and gloomy aura, "Where is Mingyue?"

The servant said: "Miss Mingyue has taken a rest."

An unknown light flashed in Jiang Yushu's eyes, "Did she ask anything?"

The servant shook his head, "I didn't ask, but... it was almost nine o'clock when Miss Mingyue came back. After dinner, she went upstairs to rest. She must be exhausted."

"Master, have you eaten? The food is still hot."

"No need." Jiang Yushu didn't have much expression on his face. He raised his legs and went directly upstairs. "If you ask, just say that I have never been back."

"Ah? Okay...Okay, young master."

The servant looked at the backs of people going upstairs and thought deeply.

Are the eldest young master and Miss Mingyue having conflicts again?

I was fine when I went out this morning, but now I feel like a different person when I come back.

In the early morning, that ray of red sunlight had just climbed up the mountain...

It was a sunny morning and the air after the rain was very clear.

Zhuang Mingyue tied her hair in braids and hurried down from upstairs, "From now on, I will have two hours of exam time every day, and I won't have dinner at home. If Yushu comes back, remember to tell him for me."

"If he is busy at work recently, I can take a taxi myself. I'll leave first."

I drank a cup of soy milk in one breath and took out a fried dough stick with a paper towel.

Servant: "Miss Mingyue, you can only eat this much. Bring some toast."

Zhuang Mingyue: "That's enough."

Now every minute of her time is precious and she doesn't want to waste it.

In the next few days, Zhuang Mingyue rarely saw Jiang Yushu in the villa, and she was by herself most of the time.

That night, when she went downstairs to drink water, she met someone sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette. There was a choking smell of smoke in the air.

"When did you come back?" Zhuang Mingyue squinted her eyes lazily, her face blurred when she looked at him.

"It's been a while, why are you still not sleeping?" Jiang Yushu put down his feet on the coffee table, stood up and put out the cigarette butt in his hand, looking at Zhuang Mingyue with a cold look.

"Drink some water." Zhuang Mingyue scratched her hair and wore a long thin pajama that reached her knees. "I'm going upstairs first. You should go to bed early."

"Mingyue." He called her.

‘Huh?’ Zhuang Mingyue held the water glass and stopped when she was about to go upstairs. She turned around and looked at him, “What’s wrong?”

"I have discussed with grandma to temporarily postpone our engagement party!"
