just to meet you

Chapter 11 I Can't Stop You from Loving Him, But You Can't Stop Me From Loving You
One day, when school was about to leave, Tong Xueer's cell phone "Dididi" rang.

She thought it was a message from Rong Xingye, and hurriedly took the phone out of her pocket.

Sure enough, it was a short message, but the location of the sender, and the impressively written name was actually "Mo Fan".

Could it be that he has something to do with himself?

She frowned, and hastily clicked on the reading button, "Xue'er, can I ask you out after school? See you at the Summer Island Western Restaurant."

Strange, all right, why would he ask himself out?

She was a little puzzled, thought about it, and replied with a brief message.

"What do you find me for?"

She just sent this message, and the reply message came quickly, "Of course there is something to do, but keep it secret for now. Be sure to come." At the end of the sentence, he even put a big smile on his face.

She thought about it helplessly, and had no choice but to send an "oh".

After school, Tong Xueer came to Xia Ridao Western Restaurant as scheduled and found that Mo Fan had already arrived.

The melodious violin sound echoed in every corner of the restaurant.

The atmosphere here is really romantic.

A dark red checked tablecloth was spread evenly on the table.

In the center of each table, there is a delicate fiery red rose.

This kind of arrangement is elegant and full of sentiment. It is the first time for her to come here, so she seems a little cramped.

As soon as Mo Fan saw her, he excitedly waved his arms towards her, "Xue'er, I'm here..."

She walked over quickly, and as soon as she sat down, a waiter in uniform respectfully brought a large glass of lemonade.

After she took a sip, she saw Mo Fan looking at her with a smile, and asked in puzzlement, "You came to me today, what's the matter?"

Mo Fan smiled at her mysteriously: "Don't worry, you will know in a while."

The doubts in Tong Xueer's heart became more and more intense. She stared intently at the two candles lit in the center of the table. The flickering candles looked very romantic.

"Candlelight dinner?" she said in surprise.

"Yes! My Cher is so smart!"

"Hey, are you exaggerating too much?" Tong Xueer automatically ignored the intimacy in his tone, and said a little playfully.

Mo Fan glanced at her and didn't answer, just snapped his fingers smartly.Then, a waiter walked towards them pushing a cart filled with birthday cakes.

Tong Xueer's eyes widened in surprise, she was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.

Immediately afterwards, the beautiful melody of the violin sounded on her right.

It is the charming "Melody of Love".

"It's actually "The Melody of Love"!" Her eyes were filled with surprise, "This is my favorite song since childhood."

"Really? You can say that, I really feel very happy." Mo Fan's eyes were affectionate.

They were talking when the car with the birthday cake came closer and stopped by their table.

The waiter bowed gracefully, and at the same time presented a large bouquet of fiery roses to Tong Xueer: "Miss Tong, these are the flowers that Mr. Mo Fan gave you."

"Flowers for me..." she murmured, looking at Mo Fan in surprise, but did not reach out to pick up the bouquet.

"Give it to me." Mo Fan stood up and took the large bouquet of roses in his hand.

"Mo Fan, today... is your birthday?" Tong Xueer looked at him in surprise.

Mo Fan nodded with a smile.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, I'm so rude that I didn't even buy you a gift." She blamed herself angrily.

"No..." Mo Fan smiled softly, "On the contrary, you have brought me the best gift."

Tong Xueer stared at him intently, not knowing the meaning of his words.

The next second—

He held up the cluster of fragrant roses in front of her again: "Xue'er, these are the flowers I gave you, please accept them." He said seriously.

"I...I..." Tong Xueer faltered, she stood up, her eyes were full of helplessness, "Today is your birthday, but I didn't even prepare a gift, how can I accept your flowers... Besides, it's a rose..."

She shook her head, refusing to pick up the flowers in his hand.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

"Xue'er, do you have the heart to let me hold it like this all the time? Is that how you plan to treat people whose birthday is today?" Mo Fan said childishly.

Tong Xueer had no choice but to take the big bunch of roses reluctantly.

A faint smugness flashed in Mo Fan's eyes.

He took the delicate candle from the waiter, turned his face, and smiled evilly at her: "Xue'er, do you want to come and light the candle with me?"

"Ah... ok... ok." Tong Xueer froze for a moment, stood up hastily, took the candle from Mo Fan's hand, and inserted it carefully.

There are 18 in total.

"This cake is really beautiful." She admired sincerely, turned her head to look into Mo Fan's eyes, "Mo Fan, please make a birthday wish." She suggested enthusiastically.

Mo Fan nodded, clasped his hands together, and closed his eyes tightly.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes again and blew out the candles in one breath.

When I sat down at the dining table again, a series of exquisite delicacies had already been put on the table.

Tong Xueer looked at Mo Fan, complaining in her tone, "Just coming here empty-handed, the more I think about it, the more I feel that I'm really rude." She looked a little annoyed.

"What does it matter?" Mo Fan smiled disapprovingly, "The most important thing is that you can come here and celebrate my birthday with me."

"Mo Fan..." Tong Xueer suddenly didn't know what to say.

Mo Fan looked at her deeply, his eyes full of deep affection, and he asked her in a gentle and affectionate voice: "Xue'er, do you know what my birthday wish is this year?"

She shook her head blankly, her fingers twisted together nervously, a little at a loss.

"Actually... my birthday wish this year is that the girl I like can accept my confession and become my girlfriend." His tone was pious, and his eyes sparkled with hope.

"The girl you like..." She smiled softly, "I think your wish will definitely come true, a person as outstanding as you is one of the best treasures in Sandia College..."

"Is it a treasure?" He looked directly into her eyes and said affectionately: "Then Xue'er, how about you owning this treasure?"

"what?"

"I mean……"

"Mo Fan!" Tong Xueer hastily interrupted him, "This joke is not funny at all." Even though she had vaguely understood something from his expectant gaze just now.She lowered her head, deliberately avoiding his anxious gaze, so at a loss.

But what she didn't expect was that he stood up, walked around the table, and walked towards her.

She looked at him in surprise, at this moment, she really wanted to run away.

But he didn't give her such a chance.

Like an elegant magician, he took out a beautiful gift box from his pocket, gently opened it with his slender fingers, and there was a beautiful ring lying quietly inside the gift box!

The next second—

He had already knelt down beside her.

He looked at her, his eyes filled with unmelted affection, and he handed the ring to her, his voice full of expectation, "Although even I can't tell myself, what is the reason for this kind of liking?" When did it germinate? Maybe it was when you took good care of me in the hospital, maybe we saw your beautiful side face when we played together in the snow, or maybe, as early as the first time I knocked down your textbook at school, I Destined to love you."

There was a slight smile on his lips: "Or, liking someone is an involuntary thing, but I can be sure, Tong Xueer, I really like you. My heart is completely For you, in the days to come, can I treat you well as a boyfriend within the scope of love? If you can nod, then this is my best birthday present. You are the only one who can help me realize my birthday wish at this moment."

"I...I..." Tong Xueer looked at the pious Mo Fan at a loss, but she couldn't say a word. She didn't know what to say at this moment to refuse, so as not to let him go too far Disappointed, looking at his eyes full of expectation, she really couldn't bear the light of hope in his eyes to dim!
When she was in a dilemma, she heard Mo Fan's pious voice continue to say: "Xue'er, can you? Can you agree to my pursuit and become my girlfriend?"

"Yes... I'm sorry..." Tong Xueer refused with a trembling voice.

She clenched her hands tightly, her phalanges turned white, and her slender fingers trembled slightly.She knows that her refusal will hurt him, but no matter what, she can't deceive him, nor can she deceive her feelings, can she?
Therefore, even though there were countless unbearable things in her heart, she still mustered up the courage to say the words of rejection.

His eyes were immediately filled with a hurt look. Although he tried his best to suppress his emotions, the disappointment and pain in his eyes still couldn't be concealed.

In an instant, the light of the broken diamonds inlaid on that beautiful ring seemed to have dimmed.

"Why?" Mo Fan bit every word hard, "Could it be that Xue'er...has someone she likes already? That's why she can't like me..."

"Yes. I already have someone I like, and I like someone very much." Tong Xue'er's voice was a little low, but her words revealed incomparable firmness.

"The person I like very much..." He stood up feebly and asked in a low voice, "Is it Rong Xingye?"

"Yeah." Although she was surprised that he guessed the answer, she still nodded lightly, "As you said, love seems to be a very unreasonable thing. It is the feeling of liking someone. I can't even control myself." As she spoke, the corner of her mouth couldn't help revealing a trace of sweetness, "It seems that as long as I can see him every day, the whole world will become colorful."

Speaking of Rong Xingye, she couldn't help being completely immersed in such sweet joy, but she didn't notice the sadness that slipped through Mo Fan's eyes.

"Then...does he also like you with the same mood?"

"Yeah." She nodded slightly, with a touch of shyness on her cheeks, "The most beautiful thing in this world is when you like someone, and that person happens to be able to give you the same response."

"The same response..." Mo Fan repeated her words, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Xue'er, if the person you like is me, how good it would be..." He said every word He said suddenly, his voice full of pain.

"I'm sorry, Mo Fan...I..." The sadness on his face made her heart ache, she didn't know what to say, she just felt very guilty in her heart.However, how can you be the master of liking someone or not liking someone?There's nothing she can do about it...

She lowered her head, and couldn't bear to look into his eyes again, because there was too much sadness in them,
In the western restaurant, the cheerful music stopped at some point, and the surroundings became quiet, with heavy sadness spreading silently...

From then on, in order to avoid embarrassment and hope that Mo Fan would forget her feelings for her as soon as possible, Tong Xueer avoided meeting him as much as possible.

Every time he deliberately passed by the door of her class, she deliberately avoided him. Mo Fan soon found out that she deliberately avoided him, and he couldn't help but feel a little hurt in his heart.

This afternoon.

Sandia College.

The girl's hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor on the first floor.

The time for class is coming soon, and Tong Xueer hurriedly ran towards the class.

Sudden--

A tall figure stood in front of her.

She was startled, stopped in a hurry, raised her head hastily, she was surprised to see Mo Fan's familiar face.

"Mo...Mo Fan..." She looked a little panicked.

"Xue'er..." He called her name softly, "I know, you've been avoiding me recently."

"I didn't..." She hastily and softly denied.

"I know you are avoiding me on purpose..." His voice was still very gentle.

"I'm sorry..." She lowered her head and murmured.

A hurt light flashed in his eyes, and after a while, the sad mood eased a bit, he looked directly into her eyes, and a forced smile floated on the corner of his mouth: "Xue'er, you idiot, Why say sorry to me, what you have to do is to make yourself very happy. Because I like you, I want to see you happy."

"Mo Fan..." She called his name, hesitated to speak.

"So, shall we get along as we did before? Don't hide from me deliberately, and don't let me not find you. In that case, I will really feel very sad." He paused every word, affectionately and solemnly.

"Thank you, Mo Fan." Tong Xue'er raised her head and looked at him gratefully, her eyes seemed to be filled with steam.

"Xue'er...can you promise me one thing?"

"whats the matter?"

"Can you always remember that I like you in your heart. If one day, Rong Xingye bullies you or disappoints you, then please remember that I will always stand here, always standing here, waiting for you. "

"Mo Fan..."

"Xue'er, please remember, I will always like you with the current mood, and I will always like you... I can't stop you from liking him, but you can't stop me from liking you..."

"Mo Fan..." Tong Xueer's voice became choked up, she didn't know what to say at this moment, her eyes became moist, and tears slipped down the corners of her eyes...

Thank you, Mo Fan, thank you for liking me...

I will always remember your deep love...

However, I really hope, I really hope that you can forget me as soon as possible and live happily...

Time passed, the winter vacation was about to begin, and the time for the banquet was approaching day by day.

The Rong family villa.

weekend afternoon.

The sky is clear and cloudless.

Warm sunlight slanted into the living room through the bright glass windows.

It's tea time.

Trays of exquisite pastries are neatly arranged on the marble dining table.

The coffee in the cup emits a strong aroma.

Grandpa Rong, who was sitting at the main seat, took a sip of coffee, put down his cup, and asked, "Old Chen, the banquet has been in preparation for a long time, how is it going?"

"Don't worry, master, I'm just going to report to you about the banquet. I've already arranged everything. According to your request, the time is set for next Wednesday. Miss Xueer's birthday happens to be the second day of the young master's winter vacation. God, do you think it's okay?" Uncle Chen bowed slightly and asked respectfully.

"Okay... But, will you be a little rushed in time?" Grandpa Rong looked a little worried.

"Master, don't worry, you will never be late. Basically, everything is ready. I personally checked every detail of the banquet, including the dress that Miss Tong will wear that day. It has also been made. Look at it, Miss Tong." Afterwards, he also expressed his satisfaction with the style and texture." Chen Bo, the housekeeper, said with confidence.

"No...Old Chen, you haven't understood what I mean. I'm thinking that the content of this banquet may need to be temporarily changed..." Grandpa Rong looked at Uncle Chen meaningfully.

"Master, what do you mean?" Uncle Chen suddenly realized, and looked at Grandpa Rong in disbelief.

"Yes, you're right, that's what I mean..." Grandpa Rong nodded affirmatively, then turned his gaze to Tong Xueer and Rong Xingye who were sitting beside him again, and asked with a smile: "Xue Son, we will become a real family in the future, what do you think of Grandpa's proposal?"

"A real family? Grandpa, aren't we already a family..." She looked at Grandpa Rong in a daze, with a playful look on her face.

"Stupid child... Grandpa means that he wants you to marry Hoshino, so that you will be grandpa's granddaughter-in-law. Xue'er, do you think Grandpa's arrangement is okay?" The old man's eyes were full of kindness.

"Grandpa..." Hearing what he said, Tong Xue'er's face turned red with embarrassment. She turned her head and peeked at Rong Xingye, her heart beating fast.

Rong Xingye turned his head, with a clear smile in his eyes, "Thank you, Grandpa." He said gratefully, looking very happy.

The coldness in his eyes was driven away by this warmth at some point.

Tong Xueer lowered her head shyly, but felt extremely joyful in her heart.

"Okay, okay..." Grandpa Rong nodded, "Since neither of you has any objections, I'll let Lao Chen start the preparations. Through this banquet, I want to announce to them that Xueer is our Rong family's daughter." A legitimate granddaughter-in-law." Grandpa Rong's tone was very excited.

The old man turned his head and looked at the housekeeper Uncle Chen with emotion: "Old Chen, this banquet should be held more grandly and enthusiastically. It is not only a banquet, but also an engagement ceremony." His tone was solemn.

Uncle Chen nodded hurriedly: "Master, don't worry, the banquet will be held as scheduled, and I will arrange everything properly. I will definitely bring you a special banquet."

All of this is like a beautiful dream...

Tong Xueer's heart was beating fast, and she pinched the back of her own hand fiercely.

it hurts!

It turns out that all this is really not a dream, it turns out that she can really become Rong Xingye's fiancee...

This is simply the happiest thing in the world.

Her heart is overflowing with happiness!

She turned her head and secretly looked at Rong Xingye who was sitting beside her.

He also looked sideways at her.

Four eyes facing each other.

She clearly saw that, similarly, his eyes were also filled with joyful light, as if overflowing with beautiful starlight...

Xue'er's heart was full of sweetness. At this moment, she suddenly thought of her uncle and aunt.I wonder if uncle is still angry?If they knew the news that she was about to get engaged, they would be happy for her too, right?No matter what, she must find time to go back with Hoshino to see them, and tell them the good news. Even if they have always been estranged, they still have to get their blessings...

Well, it must be like this... Xueer thought firmly in her heart.

After that day, Uncle Chen immediately went to prepare for the engagement banquet.

A few days before the banquet, the beautifully printed invitations were sent out one by one.

When the invitation for the engagement ceremony was sent to Mo Fan, his heart seemed to be torn apart at this moment, and great sadness overflowed his whole heart.

He only glanced at the name on the invitation, then closed his eyes in pain.

The beautiful invitation slipped gently from his fingers...

As the birthday and the engagement party approached day by day, Xueer's emotions became more and more high, and she felt very happy when she thought that she would soon become Rong Xingye's fiancée.

This will probably be the most memorable birthday of her life.

Although Rong Xing was wild and indifferent, the smiles on his face now unconsciously increased.

three days.

In three more days, their engagement banquet will be held as scheduled.

This evening.

The Rong family villa.

The living room was brightly lit.

When Tong Xueer was playing with the puppy Guoguo, Grandpa Rong came over.

"Xue'er, what are you doing?" Grandpa Rong asked with a smile.

"Grandpa..." She stood up and hurriedly put Guoguo on the ground, "I'm playing with Guoguo, Grandpa, do you have anything to do with me?"

"It's actually nothing..." Grandpa Rong looked at her lovingly, "Come on, Xue'er, sit on the sofa and chat with Grandpa."

"Okay." Tong Xueer said, and sat beside him affectionately.

Grandpa Rong pointed to the photo frame in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Xue'er, do you know who the little boy in this photo is?"

She shook her head ignorantly.

"It's Hoshino. When this photo was taken, Hoshino was about five or six years old..." Grandpa Rong seemed to be in deep memory.

"It's actually Hoshino..." Tong Xue'er muttered to herself, and took the photo frame from her grandfather, "It's really similar, but I think he was cuter when he was a child." She giggled.

"Yeah, Hoshino was very cute when he was a child, his white and clean appearance was very cute...but..." Grandpa Rong's voice sank, "Hoshino is a poor child..."

"Poor..." Tong Xueer was puzzled.

"Yeah... When he was three years old, his parents died in a car accident, leaving only our grandparents and grandchildren to depend on each other. Later, Xiaoyu's appearance finally made him cheerful. Unexpectedly, several Years later, Xiaoyu also passed away due to an accident..." Grandpa Rong sighed heavily, his old face instantly filled with sadness.

"Grandpa... don't be sad..." Tong Xueer persuaded in a low voice, seeing her grandfather's sad look, her heart also tightened.

"It's okay, grandpa isn't sad, isn't all the hardships over..." Grandpa Rong smiled at her knowingly, "But Xueer, can you promise grandpa that you will treat Hoshino well in the future, Make up for all the love and warmth he lost before..."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I promise you, I will live happily with Hoshino..." she said firmly.

"Okay, okay, Grandpa believes in you, and he will have a very happy life." Hearing her affirmative words, a comfortable smile appeared on Grandpa Rong's face.

After chatting with grandpa, Tong Xueer went back to her room.

The dazzling light of the sunset filled the entire sky.

While she was reading a book, she was playing with an exquisite keychain in her hand. Suddenly, there were several hasty knocks on the door of the room.

dong dong dong.

"Who?" She put down the book in her hand, walked over to open the door in surprise.

The next second—

Rong Xingye's handsome face was reflected in her bright eyes.

"You...how come here?" She widened her eyes and looked at him in surprise.

He smiled slightly, with evil eyes in his eyes: "Is it strange that I came to see my fiancée?"

His words made her face turn crimson all of a sudden.

Before she could react and say something, he had already held her hand domineeringly, "Follow me." After saying that, he took her hand and ran out.

"Hey, Hoshino, where are you taking me?" she shouted in surprise.

"You'll know when we get there... Keep it secret for now." He turned his face and winked at her slyly, with a very mysterious look.

She had no choice but to let him hold her hand and ran out of the villa all the way.

He drove the beautiful sports car out of the garage, and after helping her fasten the seat belt considerately, he started the engine and the car started moving.

At this time, Tong Xueer suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Hoshino, I have something for you."

"What is it?"

"This." She said as she took out a delicate keychain from her pocket.

"Keychain?"

"Yes." She nodded, "Don't you think this key chain is very unique? It's in the shape of a heart, like a beautiful love. Don't lose it, or I will punish you." , she smiled sweetly.

"Of order." Rong Xingye gave her a doting look, and also gave her a nice smile in return.

The night gradually fell.

The streamlined sports car turned a corner in the night and drove towards the wide road.

After half an hour.

The sports car stopped slowly.

Tong Xueer stepped out of the car in doubt, she looked around strangely, and there was a beautiful villa standing in front of her.

However, everything around is very strange.

Just as she was wondering, Rong Xingye had already stepped down from the other side of the sports car.

She walked over and looked at him suspiciously, "Where is this?"

Rong Xingye smiled mysteriously at her: "This is another villa of our Rong family, but usually I'm the only one who comes in and out here, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Oh, good. However, I still don't understand... What did you bring me here for?" Tong Xueer looked directly into his eyes, still confused.

"You'll know if you come in with me?" He said, holding her hand and walking towards the villa door.

He pressed a few digital passwords on the button next to the door, and then the door opened with a "squeak".

Rong Xingye turned his head to the side, and smiled mysteriously at Tong Xue'er, who was beside him with a surprised face, then took her hand domineeringly, and walked towards the villa.

It was obvious that few people came to this villa, so the tables on the window sills were covered with a thin layer of dust.

But it cannot be denied that the decoration inside the villa is really beautiful, it is a European pastoral decoration style, and it looks very comfortable and comfortable.

Tong Xueer was staring blankly at everything in the villa when the soft sound of the piano sounded in her ears.

She looked for the reputation of the piano——

She was surprised to see that Rong Xingye was sitting gracefully in front of the piano, pressing his slender fingers on the black and white keys, like a noble and handsome prince.

The soft sound of music flows slowly in the quiet air, which is so beautiful that it is suffocating!

She was completely stunned!

She never thought that Rong Xingye could play the piano so well!

The sound of the piano is like a thin layer of veil, enveloping people gently.She couldn't even move her feet, she could only just sink into this moving music...

Tong Xueer closed her eyes silently, completely immersed in the sound of the piano...

So until the sound of the piano stopped abruptly and Rong Xingye walked back in front of her again, she didn't realize...

Her cute appearance makes people feel affectionate.

Rong Xingye stared at her affectionately, with a slight smile on his handsome face.

The next second—

He actually leaned down gently, and placed a gentle kiss on her soft and ruddy lips.

A superficial kiss.

But it's shocking!
Tong Xueer opened her eyes like an electric shock!
"You...you..." She blushed with shame and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Xue'er, do you like it here?" He asked her softly.

"I like it." She nodded slightly.

"After that, this is a small world for the two of us, okay..."

"Hoshino..." Hearing him say that, she was extremely shy, but her heart was filled with joy.

"Then it's settled. I'll find time tomorrow to decorate this place as you like it. What do you think?"

"Okay, whatever you say is fine." She winked at him mischievously. "Also... you play really well!" She admired sincerely, but her heart was still beating violently because of the soft kiss just now.

"However, Hoshino, why did you suddenly think of bringing me here to play the piano for me?"

"Well...it will be your birthday in two days and our engagement party will be very busy. So, I want to give you my birthday present first."

Xueer nodded movedly, "Thank you, Hoshino. This is the best birthday present I have ever received."

"Fool!" He stretched out his hand and gently embraced her in his arms, his tone full of pampering.

Then, his deep but magnetic voice rang in her ears: "Xueer, thank you, thank you for coming to me, because of your coming, I can get out of the haze of the past, and I am no longer alone Just like that, stay by my side all the time, okay?"

She rested her head gently on his chest, and could hear his strong heartbeat.

She took a deep breath, "Hoshino, as long as you want, I will always be by your side. The earth is so big, we will still meet, if, if I look like someone, it must be for met you."

The soft lights fell around them, and at this moment, happiness lingered around the two of them for a long time...
