Chapter 140: We Will Meet Again

The Aloof Campus Belle was taken aback. "What?"

"You didn't know? I heard the modeling agency she just signed with is expanding overseas, so she's going to America."

Jiang Muye's eyes were complicated as well.

Earlier, Mi Lu and Leng Ruoli's affair had ended on bad terms.

But Jiang Muye never imagined Mi Lu would choose to leave.

If not for that business with the stolen video, Mi Lu and Leng Ruoli probably wouldn't have ended up so bitter with each other. After all, they had been such good friends.

Now Jiang Muye was rather worried about Leng Ruoli. He could tell from her absent-minded expression.

It was clear Leng Ruoli still cared about Mi Lu a great deal. It was just that right now there was no way for her to step down and smooth things over between them.

Time flew by, and Tuesday arrived in the blink of an eye.

It was also the day Mi Lu was leaving the country.

The sky was gloomy, not a trace of sunlight to be seen.

Jiang Muye came in holding a letter, and saw Leng Ruoli gazing absently at the sky outside the window.

"Ruoli." Jiang Muye called out once. Leng Ruoli didn't react, so he called again. Only then did Leng Ruoli snap to her senses, staring at Jiang Muye in a daze.

"Mi Lu asked me to give this to you." Jiang Muye handed her the letter.

He had no right to refuse on Leng Ruoli's behalf. Since it was from Mi Lu to Leng Ruoli, he would bring it before her. Whether she read it or not was for Leng Ruoli to decide.

Leng Ruoli's hand trembled. After hesitating for nearly a minute, she still took the letter.

Leng Ruoli opened the letter. Jiang Muye had no way of knowing what was written inside, but Leng Ruoli's eyes were clearly moist, and tears dripped onto the paper.

With tears in her eyes, Leng Ruoli clutched the letter fiercely to her chest and was suddenly sobbing too hard to speak.

"Don't cry." Jiang Muye looked at Leng Ruoli gently, took a tissue, and carefully wiped away her tears.

But Leng Ruoli still couldn't help the tears from falling.

"Get changed, we're leaving." After a mental struggle, Jiang Muye made a decision.

"Where to?"

"The airport," Jiang Muye answered.

Leng Ruoli was astonished, her red lips parting. "To find Sister Mi Lu?"

"What else? Your face is written all over with how much you miss her. If she really leaves, are you just going to wait to regret it?" Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow. "Who tied the knot must be the one to untie it. I'm not asking you two to make up, but at least talk it out."

Because Jiang Muye had been through it himself, he didn't want Leng Ruoli to have regrets.

Leng Ruoli grasped the situation. The corners of her eyes curved, and then she nodded at Jiang Muye, smiling. "Okay."

She changed her clothes, and under Jiang Muye's cover, they avoided the nurses' line of sight and slipped out of the hospital without a hitch.

At the airport, a plane had already landed.

Mi Lu wore brown-tinted sunglasses and a sexy black slip dress with a low-cut neckline, standing at the ticket gate.

Her figure was lonely, and her pretty face was full of desolation.

Just as she suppressed her disappointment and was about to check in, a hurried voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Sister Mi Lu!"

Mi Lu was thrilled, and whipped her head around.

She saw Leng Ruoli, appearing together with Jiang Muye.

In an instant, Mi Lu's eyes behind the sunglasses turned red as if sand had gotten in them, and the corners of her mouth pulled upward.

"Ruoli… Ruoli, why did you come?"

Leng Ruoli threw the letter right at Mi Lu. "What do you mean by this! Giving me three luxury houses, then giving me that blue diamond you'd collected for so long, and you even planned to write me a recommendation letter to help me get into grad school! You think I want that kind of compensation from you! You think that's enough to cut off our relationship!"

Leng Ruoli sobbed, gazing at Mi Lu. "I don't want that kind of compensation from you~ I want you to treat me well—long-term, forever!"

Her stubborn, determined look left Mi Lu slightly stunned.

Mi Lu was deeply moved. Her eyes glistened with tears, and she already understood what Leng Ruoli meant. She stepped forward and hugged Leng Ruoli directly. "Thank you."

Leng Ruoli clutched Mi Lu tightly. "Anyway, I won't forgive you. I'll never forgive you my whole life, so I'm punishing you—after you get to America, you still have to write me letters! At least four a week!"

"Okay~" Mi Lu hugged Leng Ruoli, nodding away.

Jiang Muye watched the two girls hugging each other and crying their eyes out.

It wasn't the way of asking after each other's well-being, but he could feel how deep their friendship ran.

The two talked about so much, so much, and it was only when the broadcast reminded them to board that Mi Lu wiped her tears and said to Leng Ruoli with great reluctance, "I have to go."

But Leng Ruoli's hand couldn't bear to let go of Mi Lu. Her eyes held attachment and unwillingness to part.

She took a deep breath.

And still let go of Mi Lu.

There's no feast that doesn't end in this world. Whoever leaves, the earth still turns all the same.

Isn't life just about having and saying goodbye to what's lost?

"Safe travels, take care of yourself," Jiang Muye said to Mi Lu with a faint smile.

But Mi Lu punched him lightly on the shoulder with a soft fist, her eyes red as she forced out a smile. "If Ruoli's groom isn't you in the future, I'll definitely give you a piece of my mind. And of course, if you treat her badly, I'll beat you up good."

This was the boy she had loved deeply, and being torn away from him so strongly naturally didn't feel good.

But she didn't deserve Jiang Muye.

She was too calculating, too easily swayed, had stolen her best friend's hard work, and then kept making mistake after mistake. She didn't belong in his world to begin with.

Only the purest Leng Ruoli was suited to him.

"Okay." Jiang Muye nodded. "Don't worry, no need for you to lift a hand. If I ever make Ruoli feel bad, I won't let myself off either."

"That's good." Mi Lu tried to put on a straightforward smile. She was just about to turn around when, as if possessed, she spun back and started running toward Jiang Muye.

Beyond Jiang Muye's expectations, Mi Lu ran back and hugged him tightly.

"You have to be happy, you absolutely have to be happy!" Mi Lu laughed and cried at once. It was clearly a blessing, yet the tears came streaming down.

In the end, she was still just a passerby in his life, but he was absolutely the irreplaceable leading man in hers.

Even at the final curtain, she had to make her presence felt with all her might. She believed her feelings would wither, but his happiness was still in full bloom, and that was enough.

Jiang Muye nodded and said, "Okay. Thank you, you too."

Mi Lu waved through her tears, and finally, carrying her bag, headed toward the gate, saying carelessly, "Goodbye—this time when I say goodbye, I mean we'll meet again~"

After watching Mi Lu leave, Leng Ruoli was sobbing too hard to speak.

Seeing her crumbling, unbearable expression, Jiang Muye without a shred of hesitation pulled Leng Ruoli to lean against his chest.

He gently stroked her hair, murmuring softly by her ear, "The world is small. You two will meet again."

Leng Ruoli nodded through her tears, and nestled tightly against Jiang Muye's body with longing.

Just like her and Jiang Muye.

Even if the years wore on, they would meet again.

For now, Mi Lu is temporarily mine—a one-yuan auction, thank you. Starting now, whoever gives the highest gift gets to have the great beauty Mi Lu, thank you.
