Chapter 397 Birmingham School Anniversary

Tang Shuo lowered his head and glanced at himself. It seemed that the situation was not much better than the one he had clumsily wrapped himself in.

But of course he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he immediately agreed.

After all, this is a prelude to breaking the ice between the two of them, and it cannot be messed up no matter what.

"I'm leaving first."

Li Yihe packed up the things he brought and put them aside. After saying hello to Tang Shuo, he prepared to leave.

Changing the dressing was just an excuse she made up to reassure herself, and even convincing herself was a bit of a stretch, let alone dealing with Tang Shuo.

Li Yihe didn't want to reveal her feelings to Tang Shuo at all, but she couldn't control herself, so she could only use this method of covering her ears and stealing the bell.

"Don't be impatient."

Tang Shuo put on his shirt and immediately said, "Let's have dinner before we leave. Someone has already gone out to buy something."

Seeing Li Yihe's hesitation, Tang Shuo immediately added, "Just consider it as my way of thanking you for helping me change the medicine."

Li Yihe nodded as if possessed by a mysterious force, and then sat down again.

"Drink some water." Tang Shuo said.

Li Yihe agreed and picked up the cup of water again.

“…”

Then both of them fell silent. There was no sound in the room, and an awkward atmosphere instantly enveloped them.

Tang Shuo picked up the remote control from the sofa and said to himself, "Let's watch TV for a while!"

Li Yihe deeply regretted agreeing to Tang Shuo's request. But wouldn't it seem a bit guilty to ask to leave at this time?

So she had no choice but to be patient and watch TV with Tang Shuo.

"Are you...are you used to living here?" Tang Shuo picked up a random topic and asked.

"Yeah." Li Yihe answered, but her eyes were always on the boring news program.

Tang Shuo opened his mouth, but didn't know how to continue the conversation.

In his opinion, this situation was even more difficult than what he had to deal with the Suns a year later.

Li Yihe glanced at Tang Shuo out of the corner of his eye and found it a little funny to see Tang Shuo sitting on the side scratching his ears and cheeks.

It seemed that since the beginning of their acquaintance, she had always been the one taking the initiative, while Tang Shuo had always played the passive role.

Thinking of this, Li Yihe recalled the time when they first met and raced together, and then they were trapped in the exhibition hall...

Just as Tang Shuo was racking his brains to find a topic for conversation, his attention was drawn to a piece of news that suddenly appeared on TV.

"To celebrate its 150th anniversary, the Birmingham Conservatoire will hold a grand celebration in two weeks. The Queen will be present with several princesses to watch the ceremony."

Tang Shuo's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately took out his cell phone.

When he was at the Pearl Conservatory of Music, he had been invited by a professor in Birmingham. Later, the curly-haired professor named Gavin had also contacted him privately, but he had never accepted.

His biggest headache these past two days was how to contact Louise, but he didn't expect to have such an opportunity.

"I'll make a call." Tang Shuo said to Li Yihe, then stood up and walked to the balcony.

Li Yihe had been watching Tang Shuo's actions, and the changes in Tang Shuo's facial expression naturally did not escape her Yanjing.

She was also very curious about why Tang Shuo suddenly became ecstatic as if he had gone crazy, so she secretly focused her attention on Tang Shuo.

As for the news just now, she didn't associate it with Tang Shuo at all.

…

Tang Shuo had never contacted Gavin, and the last time they contacted each other was more than a month ago, so Tang Shuo couldn't help but worry whether the other party still remembered him.

After taking out Gavin's phone number and dialing it, Tang Shuo held the phone with a nervous look on his face.

"Who?"

Hearing Gavin's voice, Tang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the current situation, it was a good start.

"I'm Tang Shuo." Tang Shuo replied.

There was a pause on the other end of the line. Just as Tang Shuo was about to tell him about the Pearl Conservatory of Music, Gavin on the other end of the line reacted first. "Tang, is that you? Are you planning to come to Birmingham?"

Tang Shuo smiled with emotion and replied, "I'm sorry, I don't have any intention of teaching."

"That's such a pity." Gavin said in surprise.

When he received Tang Shuo's call, he thought the other party had figured it out, but he didn't expect that the other party still did not agree.

"But I hope to attend your school's anniversary celebration in half a month." Tang Shuo directly stated his purpose.

"School anniversary." Gavin said on the other end of the phone, "I didn't expect you to know about our school anniversary event. No problem, just come when the time comes. I'll give you the invitation."

This time it was Tang Shuo's turn to be stunned. He never expected things to be so simple.

"Thank you." Tang Shuo said.

"You're welcome," Gavin replied. "It just so happens that several teachers at our school would like to meet you."

"Yeah." Tang Shuo agreed, then said, "I'll contact you when the time comes."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Shuo's excited mood finally calmed down.

He knew that this matter would not be so easy to resolve. Even if the queen brought the princess with her, there would definitely be a large number of police officers in front of the other party, and it would definitely be difficult to get close.

Furthermore, the Queen doesn't have only one princess, Louise, though the report didn't specify that. Judging from past practice, it's highly likely that the seldom-seen Louise won't be there.

But Tang Shuo didn't want to give up as long as there was a chance. It was better to make a wasted trip than to be in the current situation where he had no idea where to start.

Sitting back on the sofa, Li Yihe immediately said, "Do you want to attend the Birmingham school anniversary?"

When Tang Shuo made the call just now, he didn't think about avoiding Li Yihe at all, so the content of the call reached Li Yihe's ears almost word for word.

"Yeah." Tang Shuo admitted.

"Where are you going and what are you doing?" Li Yihe asked puzzledly.

"Something's going on."

Li Yihe frowned and fell silent. She was actually very curious about what Tang Shuo wanted to do there, but she remembered that she had no reason to ask.

Snap...

There was a strange noise from the door, and then Mason walked in with food in his hand.

Seeing an Asian beauty sitting in the room, Mason stopped in his tracks, nodded to Li Yihe, and asked, "Is this a guest?"

"Yes." Tang Shuo replied, then asked, "How many meals did you bring?"

"Three," Mason replied.

"Call and order another one." Tang Shuo said.

"No thanks." Mason shook his head hurriedly and said, "I'm not eating anymore. You guys can eat. I have something to go back for."

As he spoke, Mason had already placed the food on the table and walked out of the room.

Tang Shuo didn't force him, he stood up and knocked on Yu Haoran's door.

After Yu Haoran came out, he took a meal and went straight back to his room. Tang Shuo smiled at Li Yihe and said, "That's just how he is. Don't take it to heart."

Li Yihe nodded, and after having dinner with Tang Shuo, he said goodbye.

Tang Shuo then stood up, took out his coat, and said, "Let me see you off."

Li Yihe hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse Tang Shuo's request.

After the two of them left the building, they walked towards Li Yihe's residence. Although Li Yihe's residence was not very far from here, it was still a long way away. However, the two of them tacitly agreed not to ask for a taxi.

"Is Sister Su Ran okay now?" Li Yihe asked seemingly unintentionally.

Tang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "She's fine. She's due to give birth in three months."

"Congratulations." Li Yihe forced a smile.

In fact, Li Yihe already knew this from the photos sent by Li Ruiyi, and his blessings at this time were sincere.

Tang Shuo smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond to Li Yihe's words.

Li Yihe took a deep breath, stopped and said, "You don't have to send me off. I can take a taxi here."

Tang Shuo nodded and said, "Go slowly on the road."

He knew he should insist on continuing, but the topic just now made him hesitate.
