When Tiantian didn’t answer the call, she sent him a text. “Sleeping?
Goodnight! I’m going to go take a shower and sleep too. See you tomorrow!”
He checked his phone. He was 30 km away from his destination. At the current speed, he could probably reach in about half an hour. It was already 11 p.m.
Tiantian hesitated. He really wanted to see Yang Ruoxi.
It was already late, so he couldn’t call her. Otherwise, he would have taken a taxi to her place or called her to the hotel.
Yang Ruoxi had just finished taking a shower, and she tossed and turned in her bed. She couldn’t wait to meet her boyfriend the next day.
She texted him once again. “You’re probably asleep. This all feels so surreal. Are
you really coming here tomorrow?”
Tiantian couldn’t ignore her this time. “You want to see me that much, Bao ‘er?”
“Of course! I want to see you right now! Hahaha… It’s alright. I can wait. Why didn’t you answer my call?”
Tiantian leaned against the bus window. He was about to arrive anyway. ‘Should I just tell her I’m here?’
“Why aren’t you replying?”
“Xixi, I’ll tell you the truth then. I’m about to reach the hotel you booked for me. I wanted to surprise you so I couldn’t accept the video call. You’d have found out. But anyway… that’s the truth.”
Yang Ruoxi sent him a confused emoji in reply.
“I wanted to see you so badly. The bus is heading to the location you sent me. It’s already late. Just send me a link to your location and I can visit. I will just meet you outside so that your father and grandmother don’t find out.” Yang Ruoxi was in a daze. Tiantian thought she might have dozed off.
She rubbed her eyes and pinched herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. She read Tiantian’s text aloud. ‘He’s coming today?!’
She called him. Tiantian picked up.
“Bao ‘er, do you not believe me? Send me your address, and I’ll meet you there in an hour or so.”
“You were already in Yun City when you told me you were coming tomorrow?”
“I wanted to give you a surprise. I missed you so much, and I don’t want to waste a single minute more. Are you mad at me for lying to you?”
Yang Ruoxi was overjoyed. “How can I be angry when you do something this sweet for me? How much longer will it take for you to arrive?”
“I might reach the hotel in about twenty minutes. Is the hotel far from your house?”
“No. It’s just ten minutes away. I’ll send you the location of my house. Text me when you arrive. I live on the first floor. My father and my grandmother both will be asleep by now.” Yang Ruoxi was busy thinking of a way to sneak Tiantian into her room.
The main door was creaky. If she opened it, it would wake everyone. Her father was a very light sleeper. Tiantian could climb through the window, but the widow was a little high. She could pass down a chair and have him climb up!
Yang Ruoxi sighed. Why did she feel like a thief in her own house?
She decided to talk to him from the window. She would be inside, and he would stand outside. They could meet properly the next morning.
Yang Ruoxi sent him the address to her house. Tiantian was happy. “Bao ‘er, my heart has already flown to you. I’ll send you a message when I’m there.”
“Alright. See you later.” Yang Ruoxi quickly put on her shoes.
She had just showered, so her hair was wet and messy. She wasn’t wearing any makeup.
Yang Ruoxi took out a blue velvet dress from the closet and changed into it, then she sat in front of the dressing mirror to apply some makeup. She ended up using the curler to set her hair.
Yang Ruoxi constantly checked her phone so that she didn’t miss his text.
After about fifteen minutes, she was ready.
She opened her room door quietly. The living room was dark. Her father must have already gone to sleep. Fortunately, their rooms were further away from the living room.
Her room had two windows. One faced north, and the other south. The south window opened to the backyard. Tiantian could talk to her from there.
People often assumed Yang Ruoxi was from a wealthy family. She was well-read and dressed elegantly. Maybe that was the reason why she had many suitors in her original world.
However, Yang Ruoxi was different from Lin Wan. Lin Wan was beautiful but in a cold and aloof kind of way. Most people didn’t dare get close to her. Yang
Ruoxi, in contrast, was very approachable.
Yang Ruoxi’s life hadn’t been a happy one, especially when it came to relationships. She had been in several relationships. Three of her exes had cheated on her. The last one wasn’t compatible, so Yang Roxi broke up with him.
Lin Wan had never been in a relationship before. Now that she met Li Yanchen, her feelings for him seemed to grow stronger every day.
When Yang Ruoxi and Lin Wan were talking about parallel worlds, she asked Lin Wan if she had gotten what she wanted here. Yang Ruoxi wondered if she would find someone who loved her here too.
After she got together with Tiantian, she realized that he was different. He cared about people. There had been two other women who wanted to be with him, but he had rejected them.
He had gotten a scholarship to study in Country Y. His academics were excellent. He liked to read, and he was really romantic. Sometimes, he would wait for Yang Ruoxi outside her class just so he could pass her some food. Tiantian even bought her flowers some days.
Tiantian’s family was also very open and understanding. Yang Ruoxi had seen his parents and grandparents. They got along with each other like they were all friends..
