There was a trace of surprise in the huge study room, and the electronic pen held in Xi Wang's hand fiercely scratched a mark on the screen paper.

Her brows were slightly frowned, and she heard the words that Lu Ming said endlessly as soon as he entered the door, so vivid that she even doubted her own ears.

Xi Wang clicked Undo to remove the black mark that had slid down the screen, and put away the surprise on his face.

She looked up at the little girl standing at the door and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Ming rolled his throat, suppressing the tension in his heart, and said, "I want to study abroad."

Xi Wang frowned again, and asked, "Then, have you decided which university to go to?"

She thought it was just the little girl's whim, and the way of embracing herself dispelled her idea.

But Xi was wrong.

Lu Ming handed over a university's admission prospectus in front of her, "This is the top ten school in the world for comprehensive academic ability, and it is also the top five in the world for electronics majors."

Xi Wang looked at the recruitment brochure with a simple cover and a grandeur, his eyes darkened a little.

Of course she knows that this is a very good university, and she also knows that the world's top five electronics majors.

Because this is her alma mater, and it was the first place where she was sent abroad by Xi Yan.

Xi Wang's already complicated mood became even more chaotic. She raised her eyes to look at Lu Ming, and said calmly, "May I know why?"

"Maybe you are right, I need to go out and see a bigger world." Lu Ming replied, but secretly hid the other half of this sentence in his heart.

In this way, when I come back, I can really have the opportunity to stand side by side with you and let you accept me.

When Xi Wang heard Lu Ming's words, his heart ached slightly.

Obviously she was the one who persuaded Lu Ming that day, but now she has listened to her.

Obviously she should feel relieved, but she felt that her heart was getting more stuffy.

It was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.

Xi Wang: "You have to think clearly, you will be alone there."

Lu Ming shook his head, "Don't worry, Aunt Xi, Yu Sheng is also going to take a university entrance exam with me, and the university that Zhao Lin is going to take is also in this state."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Xi Wang looked down at the bilingual enrollment brochure, and the corner of his mouth twitched, his heart full of self-deprecation.

I asked her to listen to Yu Sheng more, but she actually wanted to follow that person.

As expected, this child has grown up and has her own plans, and she came to talk to her with all the chips she had prepared.

"Really think it over?" Xi Wang asked again.

The voice was faint, with a trace of bitterness that she didn't even notice.

Lu Ming nodded, "Yes."

Xi Wang looked at Lu Ming and nodded, hearing her confirmation, he didn't speak any more.

Sitting at the table, she flipped through the enrollment brochure in her hand, and looked at the familiar scene in the school photo, feeling a little relieved in her heart.

She thought, maybe the two of them were separated for a while, and they both wanted to go.

As Wang Manyan said a long time ago, sooner or later Lu Ming will bring someone she likes to her, even if it is a girl.

It is impossible for her to keep Luming private.

This feeling is indeed wrong.

After a long while, Xi Wang raised his head, looked at the little girl who had been standing nervously waiting for his next words, and said, "Okay, I will help you arrange lessons."

"Because you made a sudden decision, the next step will be bitter, so you have to be prepared." Xi Wang reminded again.

When Lu Ming heard this, his eyes became more determined, "Okay."

She has suffered a lot before, from elementary school to junior high school, she believes that even if she is far away in a foreign country, she can overcome it.

As long as she always wanted to come back, she wanted to come back brilliantly, and stood beside her openly.

"You can go back and do your homework." Xi Wang lowered his eyes again as he spoke.

Lu Ming looked at Xi Wang's lowered head, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She pursed her lower lip, and said goodbye obediently: "Then I'm leaving, Aunt Xi."

The room was silent, Xi Wang was silent, and Lu Ming left straight away.

And one second before the door was about to be closed, Xi Wang raised his head.

She watched the back of the grown little girl leaving, and a voice sounded in her heart: Is this kind of feeling really wrong?

Summer is coming in a blink of an eye. I don't know if it is Luming's illusion. This year's summer is extraordinarily hot.

In the sound of cicadas, she went downstairs with her suitcase. Today is the day she went abroad to study in the United States.

Lu Ming stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself today.She purposely wore a white dress that was similar in style to Xi Wang's when they first met.

The drapey fabric outlines her increasingly slender figure. Under the knee-length skirt is a pair of well-proportioned and slender legs. She specially put on a pair of white sneakers, which looks elegant and energetic as a whole.

Lu Ming pursed his lips painted with light red lip gloss.

The little girl's selfish hope that today's she can be remembered forever by Xi Wang, and that she can miss her for four years.

As soon as she went downstairs, Aunt Xu took the luggage from Lu Ming's hand with great reluctance: "Miss Xiaolu has to take care of herself when she goes there."

Lu Ming listened to what Aunt Xu had told him countless times, and felt warm in his heart. He nodded and said, "Yes, I will. Don't worry, Aunt Xu."

Aunt Xu urged them all the way, the two walked to the porch, the driver came over and put Lu Ming's last piece of luggage in the trunk, and said to Xi Wang who was standing by: "Miss, it's all packed."

Xi Wang nodded expressionlessly, glanced at Lu Ming, "Let's go."

There was no emotion in her voice, but Aunt Xu, who was standing at the door watching the car leave, knew that she had been standing here since early in the morning, staring at the family servant loading Lu Ming's luggage.

Their lady didn't say anything, but it didn't mean that she was really as cold as her voice.

On the way to the airport, Lu Ming and Xi Wang sat in the back. They haven't had such close contact for a long time.

Lu Ming counted with his fingers slightly, it seems that since the New Year, she has less contact with Xi Wang.

She is preparing for IELTS, interview, and various oral training.

Xi Wang assigned her a lot of tasks, so many that Yu Sheng felt that some things were unnecessary, but Lu Ming still put in [-]% effort to keep up with each one.

Her oral English has improved rapidly, and she has also learned a lot of slang, and the communication with her host family has become extremely smooth a few days ago, and she is even better than Sheng.

Lu Ming looked at Xi Wang's face reflected on the glass.

She knew it was all thanks to the series of arrangements she had made for herself.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming felt less nervous, at least he hoped he still cared about himself.

It was just because of that incident that he had to distance himself from himself.

Just as Lu Ming wanted to sigh calmly, Xi Wang's voice sounded.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes playing over there, take this with you."

After all, Xi Wang took out a box from his bag.

It was the disinfectant she had prepared for Lu Ming's Xi Ji, but this time it was a squeeze bottle the size of a fist.

Lu Ming was flattered, took the bottle, and said, "Thank you, Aunt Xi."

Xi Wang: "Arrange your life well and make more friends."

Lu Ming: "Yes."

Xi Wang: "Don't go to dangerous things, it's not as good as in China."

Lu Ming: "Yes."

……

Lu Ming obediently wrote down every instruction Xi Wang gave, and it had been a long time since she and Xi Wang had done this.

And Xi Wang didn't know why she became nagging, she paused, turned her head to look out the window, and stopped talking.

The scenery outside the window receded quickly, and Lu Ming's side face was always in Xi Wang's sight.

Soon the car arrived at the boarding gate, and Wang Manyan, Zhao Rin, and Yu Sheng were already waiting for them there.

Zhao Lin had the quickest eyes, and was the first to find Lu Ming and Xi Wang who were walking towards this side. He waved his hands and said, "Aunt Xi! Lu Ming! Here!"

Hearing the sound, Yu Sheng also followed Zhao Rin's line of sight, and trotted to meet him.

Standing beside Lu Ming, she said to Xi Wang: "Hello, Aunt Xi."

Xi Wang let out a "hmm" and looked over Lu Ming at the little girl who was about to live with Lu Ming for four years, feeling more and more stuffy in his chest.

Yu Sheng: "Have you gone to get a ticket? Which row are you in?"

Lu Ming took out the ticket in his pocket and said, "3A"

Yu Sheng's eyes were a little more stunned, "Did you buy first class? I'll get on the plane later and ask if I can upgrade. I'll go to first class to accompany you."

Hearing this, Lu Ming showed a smile on his face, but the smile was a bit forced.

She knew that she should be happy when she heard this, but she couldn't be happy.

At this time, the broadcast also began to urge the passengers on Lu Ming's flight to start boarding, and several people walked towards the boarding gate with their luggage.

Especially at this time, the sadness of parting shrouded Lu Ming's head intensely, and her mind began to replay the fragments of her getting along with Xi Wang over the years.

That person will always appear every time I need it the most, saving myself from the mud and the cold wave, and illuminating myself like the sun.

The seed buried in Lu Ming's heart was trembling crazily, she walked forward step by step in the team, and reluctance accumulated in her eye sockets little by little.

When finally passing through the security check, Lu Ming looked back at Xi Wang.

The little girl bid farewell to the lonely figure in the distance with the loudest voice in her life: "Aunt Xi, I'm leaving!"

Lu Ming's voice deeply imprinted on Xi Wang's heart, and the piercing pain finally appeared on this woman who had been emotionally numb for more than 30 years.

Once upon a time, she thought that she was a cold-blooded and emotionless person like her mother, and that the company was their only goal in this life.

But when she brought Lu Ming home from the East Outer Hall that day, fate quietly separated her from Xi Yan's fate line.

Perhaps it was as Xi Ji said back then.

She is different from Xi Yan.

She is sentient.

Xi Wang stared closely at the slender little girl in the distance.

But Lu Ming was the first person to turn around and leave for the first time in these three years.

Wang Manyan watched the children go in, and sighed, "How do you feel about sending the children abroad with your own hands?"

Xi Wang glanced at Wang Manyan, turned and left without saying a word.

The hot summer sun scorched her face, and her brows were wrinkled.

very bad.

very bad.

Coming out of the airport, Xi Wang didn't go to the company but went straight home.

She skipped the wine cabinet, went straight to the refrigerator, took out a few bottles of beer, opened the door to the backyard and sat on the steps.

Now only Xiao Wu is left with one owner and one dog in the family. This silly dog ​​came over with a ball in its mouth, squatted beside Xi Wang, wagging its tail, and asked Xi Wang to accompany her.

She seemed to adapt quickly to the loss of one person in the family, and she didn't seem to adapt to the loss of one person in the family.

Xi Wang didn't like to accompany this kind of animal, so he opened the beer and drank it while sitting on the stairs.

And Xiao Wu refused to leave, lying at Xi Wang's feet.

The sun was setting, and the shadows of a person and a dog were projected in the backyard as usual.

Only this time it was no longer Lu Ming and Xiao Wu.

"She's gone." Xi Wang said lightly, so lightly that even she couldn't hear the emotion in her voice.

"Ugh~" Xiao Wu didn't bark, but lay down at Xi Wang's feet and whimpered.

Xi Wang heard the sound and looked at Xiao Wu, who lay on the ground with the nearly spoiled ball in front of him, looking at him quietly with a pair of pure black eyes.

He obviously didn't say a word, but he seemed to need himself more than anyone else.

Once upon a time, Lu Ming looked at him like this.

But it also made me feel sorry for it.

Xi Wang watched Xiao Wu like this for a long time, the bubbles of the beer were scorched by the sun and made a delicate bursting sound.

Finally, she leaned over and took the ball in front of Xiao Wu, stretched out her arms, and threw it with all her strength.

Just like what Lu Ming would do on weekdays.
