Chapter 308 Do you have time to come and see me off?
Before Zhao Zhaodi could answer, Chen Runping spoke up first:
"Ye Wentao, is there anything you can't say to my face? Why are you being so mysterious?"
As he spoke, he tightened his grip on Zhao Zhaodi's hand, holding it firmly and refusing to loosen it even slightly.
"This is between me and Zhao Zhaodi! Are you really that insecure, Chen Runping?"
Ye Wentao's gaze remained firmly fixed on Zhao Zhaodi, as if everything around him was irrelevant, and he didn't even glance at Chen Runping.
At this moment, Zhao Zhaodi forcefully broke free from Chen Runping's tight grip on her hand and softly replied:
"Okay, let's go then."
After speaking, Ye Wentao led Zhao Zhaodi towards the movie theater without hesitation, and the distance between them and Chen Runping increased to about 20 meters.
When they reached a relatively quiet corner, Ye Wentao finally stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhao Zhaodi with a pained expression, saying:
“Zhao Zhaodi, actually I didn’t mean to follow you two. This morning, I was looking for you, but I happened to see Chen Runping riding a bicycle with you on the back. At that moment, I had a bad feeling and wanted to find out what was going on, so I followed you here.”
After saying these words, Ye Wentao seemed to have all his strength drained away, and he looked extremely dejected.
Facing the sorrowful man before her, Zhao Zhaodi simply responded with a curt remark:
"Oh, what exactly do you want to see me about?"
"I'm here to tell you that my flight to the US is at 4 PM on the 9th. Although you rejected me, I hope this won't affect our friendship. You chose Chen Runping, and I wish you both well, but don't give up your dreams because of love. If he betrays you, I will always keep a place for you."
Ye Wentao said.
"No, I will definitely go to country M to pursue a master's degree after graduating from university."
Zhao Zhaodi spoke firmly, her eyes revealing her anticipation and confidence for her future studies.
Hearing this, Ye Wentao breathed a slight sigh of relief, but a bitter smile remained on his face as he softly replied:
"That's good. In that case, let's continue with our agreement to meet in Country M."
His voice was slightly low, as if concealing unspeakable emotions.
"Well, I definitely will!"
Zhao Zhaodi nodded vigorously, her gaze meeting Ye Wentao's. They could both see the promise and expectation in each other's eyes.
After a moment of silence, Ye Wentao hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered up the courage to ask:
"So... will you have time to come and see me off on the 9th?"
He stared intently at Zhao Zhaodi's face, as if trying to capture every subtle change in her expression.
Zhao Zhaodi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and replied:
"Yes, that's fine."
Although it was just two simple words, they warmed Ye Wentao's heart.
At this moment, Ye Wentao slowly extended his right hand, maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor, and forced a bitter smile as he said:
"Then I wish you and him happiness and a fulfilling life together."
After he finished speaking, he waited quietly for Zhao Zhaodi to respond.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhaodi also reached out her hand without hesitation and gently grasped Ye Wentao's hand.
The moment their palms touched, Ye Wentao felt a strange electric current flow through his body.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Wentao turned around and walked towards Chen Runping with slightly heavy steps.
He stopped as he approached, gazed into Chen Runping's eyes, and said solemnly:
“I sincerely hope that you can treat Zhao Di well. If I find out that you dare to bully her even a little bit, I will never let you off easily.”
His words were full of warning.
Facing Ye Wentao's sharp gaze, Chen Runping did not back down at all, but nodded earnestly in response:
"Don't worry, my love for her is only deeper and stronger than yours. I will not let her suffer the slightest grievance."
Upon hearing Chen Runping's words, Ye Wentao shook his head with a wry smile, then resolutely turned and left.
His figure gradually faded into the distance, eventually disappearing into the crowd.
As Zhao Zhaodi watched Ye Wentao's retreating figure, a wave of emotion washed over her.
Chen Runping, who was beside her, noticed her unusual behavior, reached out and gently pinched her nose, asking in a slightly teasing tone:
"What's wrong? Are you a little reluctant to part with it?"
Zhao Zhaodi playfully punched Chen Runping's chest, feigning anger, and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
However, her gaze remained fixed on the direction Ye Wentao had left, lingering there for a long time.
"What did Ye Wentao say to you? May I know?"
Chen Runping asked.
"His flight to the US is at 4 pm on the 9th, and she wants me to see him off."
Zhao Zhaodi said.
Chen Runping felt a little displeased upon hearing this.
"So, did you agree?"
Chen Runping asked.
"Ah."
Zhao Zhaodi said.
Chen Runping felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and after a few minutes of silence, he finally spoke:
"Then I'll go with you to see him off."
"Ah."
Zhao Zhaodi blurted it out.
Chen Runping felt much better after hearing this.
Chen Runping took Zhao Zhaodi's hand and walked to the bicycle. The two rode the bicycle towards Wang Bin's house.
Days passed by, and soon it was the 9th.
Zhao Zhaodi arrived at the airport on time.
When Ye Wentao saw her, his eyes were filled with surprise and delight.
"Thank you for coming."
Ye Wentao said.
Ye Wentao handed him an exquisite notebook.
"Here, take this. It contains some of my academic thoughts that might be useful to you."
Zhao Zhaodi accepted the notebook, deeply moved.
Just then, Chen Runping also rushed over.
He walked over to Zhao Zhaodi and naturally put his arm around her shoulder.
Upon seeing this, Ye Wentao felt a mix of emotions.
As the boarding announcement came on, Ye Wentao took a deep breath and casually said goodbye to the two of them.
As she watched the plane take off, Zhao Zhaodi silently prayed for his safe journey.
On the way back, Chen Runping looked at Zhao Zhaodi for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say to her:
“I know you value his friendship, and I respect the relationship between you.”
Zhao Zhaodi looked up at him and smiled with satisfaction.
Since then, time has flown by, and Chen Runping and Zhao Zhaodi have gone to the library together almost every day to study and research.
Zhao Zhaodi is determined to apply to study in Country M and is busy preparing various materials for this purpose.
At the same time, Zhao Laidi also completed the important battle of the college entrance examination, and then threw herself into the busy work of the graduation reunion.
