Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 646: Extra - on Lu Zhizhou ③_1

The four years of university sped by, and Lu Zhizhou was on the verge of graduation. The closer it came, the more anxious she felt - graduation meant she had to return to her home country.

It also meant that her relationship with He Chenguang would be next to impossible to keep.

Lu Mojing had been calling her again and again, urging her to return home and pressure her into settling things with Xu Boyan...

"Zhuozhou, why have you been looking upset recently? Remember to talk to me if anything is bothering you."

He Chenguang looked at Lu Zhizhou, starting to worry.

Lu Zhizhou had been downcast these days, seemingly troubled. It made He Chenguang quite concerned.

"Nothing."

Lu Zhizhou shook her head, not knowing how to express her feelings.

Lu Mojing’s incessant calls urging her to return home were like a noose around her neck, which made Lu Zhizhou feel annoyed and flustered.

As the days crept closer, Lu Zhizhou felt increasingly uneasy.

On graduation day, they took graduation photos and fellow students from all around the world prepared to go their separate ways, some heading into the workforce and some returning home. Everyone ended up scattering completely.

Lu Mojing kept pushing Lu Zhizhou to return to China, but she delayed it for a few days.

"Zhuozhou, did you call me here for something?"

The sea breeze was gently blowing, Lu Zhizhou was facing the ocean with her back to He Chenguang. He Chenguang, watching her back, asked curiously.

There had been something strange about Lu Zhizhou these last few days.

"Chenguang, I have something to tell you."

Lu Zhizhou took a deep breath and turned around. The smile on her face was light, giving no clue that anything was amiss.

"Go ahead."

He Chenguang appeared somewhat dazed.

"We... should break up..."

Lu Zhizhou gently closed her eyes, her tone surprisingly calm.

However, only Lu Zhizhou herself knew that her heart was in turmoil. She was feeling so terrible that she could barely breathe.

"What?"

He Chenguang was stunned, he thought he had heard wrong. How could Lu Zhizhou propose breaking up?

They loved each other so much, the bond between them was so strong.

"I said, He Chenguang, I want to break up with you."

Lu Zhizhou’s voice hardened somewhat. Her facial expression did not change and she remained calm.

"You’re joking, right? Zhuozhou, today isn’t April Fool’s Day."

He Chenguang felt like he could hardly breathe. He shook his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Lu Zhizhou wanted to break up with him, but how could that be possible?

"I’m not joking, I’m serious. He Chenguang, I, Lu Zhizhou don’t like you anymore. We’ve been together for too long and I don’t feel the way I used to."

Lu Zhizhou spoke, the wind blowing through her hair. She suddenly felt very cold, perhaps because her heart was cold.

She felt hopeless, that she had no control over her own life. It felt like a failure.

If she could live her life over again, she would live differently.

"Lu Zhizhou, but I like you, no, I love you."

He Chenguang cried out passionately

"I don’t like you."

Lu Zhizhou left these words behind and left quickly, as if she were escaping.

He Chenguang stood still for a long time, unable to process what had just happened.

Later he was unable to get through to Lu Zhizhou on her phone. She didn’t come out to see him, he stood under her apartment building, but never saw Lu Zhizhou.

Lu Zhizhou fell into a slump for a few days at home, then packed her bags to return to Kyoto while Lu Mojing began to rush her again.

"Zhuozhou"

He Chenguang, who hadn’t seen Lu Zhizhou for a long time, finally saw Lu Zhizhou again and he was very excited.

"Where are you going..."

Then he saw the suitcase Lu Zhizhou was pulling. He was stunned.

"I am going back home, I have canceled the lease of the apartment, this is our final goodbye."

The smile was still bright on Lu Zhizhou’s face, as if it were the first time he had met Lu Zhizhou.

In his heart, He Chenguang felt choked up, too choked up to breathe. It was unbearable.

"Don’t go."

He Chenguang grabbed Lu Zhizhou’s hand, begging her not to leave.

"I’m sorry, I don’t love you anymore."

Lu Zhizhou shook off He Chenguang’s hand and left without any hesitation.

He Chenguang chased her to the airport, but he wasn’t able to stop Lu Zhizhou from leaving. He could only watch helplessly as Lu Zhizhou left him.

On the plane, Lu Zhizhou couldn’t help but break down in tears looking at the scenery outside the window, feeling a wave of mixed emotions.

Maybe she should never have studied abroad. If she hadn’t gone, she wouldn’t have met He Chenguang, wouldn’t have had everything that happened next.

Lu Zhizhou, you don’t even have the chance to pursue love, you are such a failure.

When she arrived in Kyoto it was afternoon. Before she could rest, Lu Mojing informed her that he had planned a welcome party for her. Sitting on the bench outside the airport, she was stroking her necklace, tears streaming down her face.

It was the last memento from He Chenguang.

——

"This is my daughter Zhizhou who has just returned from studying abroad."

Lu Mojing introduced Lu Zhizhou to the others.

Lu Zhizhou had always been a famous figure in Kyoto. Even though her fame had dwindled after being absent from Kyoto for a long time, everyone still recognized her name.

"Oh, this is Zhizhou, she has become even more beautiful."

"Zhizhou is as beautiful as ever."

"Without a doubt, the title of the most beautiful woman in Kyoto belongs to Zhizhou."

"Zhizhou has grown to be even more elegant and unassuming."

"Zhizhou is really beautiful."

"..."

All around were voices praising Lu Zhizhou. And indeed, Lu Zhizhou was deserving of the praise.

But hear all these voices, Lu Zhizhou didn’t feel happy. Instead, it made her uncomfortable.

"Respected uncles, aunts, and everyone, I am Zhizhou. Thank you all for attending my homecoming party, I would like to propose a toast."

There was a tender smile on Lu Zhizhou’s face, and she smiled in a way that was graced and proper, leaving no room for criticism.

Everyone present was smiling ear to ear.

Lu Zhizhou touched her neck, and suddenly realized that it was bare. She was taken aback.

The necklace - it seemed she had forgotten to take it with her. She felt a sudden surge of urgency.

Lu Mojing was still enthusiastically introducing his daughter and showing her off.

"Dad, I need to go look for something. I’ll be right back."

Lu Zhizhou was very anxious. She said this and hurriedly left, incredibly worried.

"Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t hurt you, did I?"

As soon as she turned the corner, Lu Zhizhou bumped into someone. She was horribly sorry and started apologizing, still incredibly agitated.

"It’s fine."

The person she bumped into replied coldly.

The woman, no, the girl in front of her was very beautiful and seemed quite aloof. But Lu Zhizhou didn’t have the time to worry about others.

"I’m sorry, I’m in a bit of a hurry."

Lu Zhizhou straightened out her white dress and apologized again.
