Timeless Love (When Bright Moon Encounter the Dark Clouds) Chapter 4: Wu Yu 01 (1)

——Wu Yu——

Previously, I had not intended to go on this trip.

Not only am I occupied with helping my professor, but I also needed to prepare for my internship in a company of my choosing. However, my mother suggested I take a break since I have been working hard for so long. She also mentioned Wu Miao to test my reaction.
