Everything Goes Smoothly

A campus ensemble story, with slow-burn humor.

Fragment 1: Regarding Bro Yang's fear of dogs.

"Woof!"

Gao Liyang: "Help—"

Zhou Xi chuckled: "You...

When Zhou Xi just arrived, he saw three girls following Gao Liyang. The three girls were whispering and conspiring, pushing each other, and finally, one of the shells was successfully launched and hit the target perfectly.

"So beautiful." Zhou Xi muttered softly and sniffed.

She is familiar with this scene. He is worthy of being a handsome man. Wherever he goes, he is a light bulb and attracts bees and butterflies.

She didn't bother the beauty, but squatted on the ground with her legs apart, watching them indifferently, and tried to piece together their wonderful conversation by moving her lips.

In this hazy atmosphere, the girl is wearing a beige waist-length jacket with a red miniskirt, and her slender calves are revealed under the leg-baring artifact.

The boy wore a black short down jacket and loose jeans, which set off his proportions perfectly.

They both wore scarves of the same color, how interesting.

“Crack!”

Zhou Xi adjusted the angle, and a photo full of CP feeling came out. She lowered her head to admire it, and wow, she was so envious and jealous.

I don't know when it started, last semester? No, there were still a few peach blossoms last semester, but this semester it seems there are none at all.

Her luck with handsome guys is completely over. No man within a few miles dares to look at her. Is she some kind of monster?

Zhou Xi bent down and smelled herself. There was no smell. Or was it because she had been with Gao Liyang for so long that she had been fascinated by his cynical scent and no other man dared to approach her?

What I said makes some sense. Girls like the temperament of a scumbag, but boys don't like girls with that temperament. Which boy doesn't want his girlfriend to be a sweet and sticky cake?

She is indeed too strong and ordinary people cannot suppress her.

Zhou Xi wanted to take another video, but his hands, which had been steady, suddenly started shaking.

No, it was fine. Why was that idiot Gao Liyang looking at her camera? Who told him to look at it? Wasn't it enough for him to look at beautiful women?

Then, she noticed Gao Liyang pointed at her, and the girl also looked at her. Gao Liyang said something to the girl again, and without paying attention to her reaction, he walked straight towards her.

On the phone, the video continued to add up second by second, and the numbers kept jumping.

The rhythm of the numbers will never be disrupted, but every step of Gao Liyang is neither 0.5 seconds faster nor 0.5 seconds slower, and is completely in tune with the beat.

It was just counting from one to ten, and then adding one, but when put together, Zhou Xi suddenly didn't know how to read it, or maybe he didn't dare to read it.

The field of view of the lens can obviously be adjusted in size, and countless beautiful moments have been recorded by this little thing, but at this moment she feels that it is too small, and the people she sees are not real and she feels uncomfortable.

Zhou Xi sighed, gave up struggling, looked up, his eyes jumped from the small mobile phone to Gao Liyang.

There were so many people around, tall and short, fat and thin, but Zhou Xi felt that none of them could compare to the person walking towards her.

It was such a short distance but he managed to turn it into a catwalk show, blinding everyone. No. 1 show was none other than Gao Liyang.

She didn't seem to know when this person's presence became so strong. He had already been quietly integrated into her memory.

She had taken all of the contact in, and now realized that there seemed to be no time left for her.

A shadow completely enveloped him. Zhou Xi looked up and felt a strange touch on his head.

"Don't move." Gao Liyang smiled and rubbed Zhou Xi's head mischievously. It felt really good.

Zhou Xi let his heart pound and sighed, "Happy birthday."

Gao Liyang stopped moving his hands. He thought Zhou Xi would slap him away, but despite this expectation, he still took action.

"Thanks."

Zhou Xi put away his phone, stood up, and threw a small thing to Gao Liyang.

"A birthday present."

The little thing hit Gao Liyang's chest and then bounced back. Gao Liyang was so scared that he tried to catch it in a panic.

“Yo!”

"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to catch it and smash it? I almost didn't catch it."

"If it breaks, you won't have any gifts." Zhou Xi supported his chin. It won't break if it falls. It's made of special materials.

"You can."

A small glass ball, very heavy, with flowing liquid inside, mixed with fine gold flakes, sparkling brightly.

In the middle is a Q-version man playing basketball, just in the motion of jumping and shooting, with his jersey half opened, revealing his round belly with a big symbol on it.

cross.

Gao Liyang recognized who it was at a glance; it was himself.

He held his forehead, but couldn't hide the smile in his eyes: "No, you observed so carefully, I, oh, don't give me some face!"

"Isn't it pretty?"

When Zhou Xi watched the little ones in the village playing ball, he took off his heavy coat even in the middle of winter.

She suddenly remembered the time when she followed Xiao Xiaoyu and the others to watch Gao Liyang and his group play basketball. She was in a daze in the audience when suddenly there were earth-shaking screams all around.

It turned out that Gao Liyang was jumping and shooting, and the three-pointer went in perfectly. Then he showed his defiant smile, lifted his clothes to wipe the sweat off his face, and as he moved, his four abdominal muscles were exposed.

A complete Q-version figurine suddenly appeared in her mind. When she came to the city at the end of the year, she went to the old street to find a master she knew to make it.

"What you said, if I say it's not good-looking, then doesn't that mean I'm not good-looking?"

"It looks good, it looks good, it looks really good, your enlarged cross is really interesting." Gao Liyang felt embarrassed looking at his own small figure.

Zhou Xi felt tired of standing, so she squatted down again. She had originally told the master that she wanted to learn how to make this little thing, but after making two, the finished products were either missing arms and legs or looked ferocious.

Finally, she went back with two small boxes, one was a perfect Q-figure made by the master, and the other was a pair of damaged ones made by her.

"ha!"

Before the people arrived, Gao Liyang could smell the aroma of grilled sausages with chili powder.

"Gao..." Gao Liyang took a few steps back in fright. His hand trembled and the small glass ball slipped down his down jacket.

"fertile……"

Zhou Xi caught it quickly and glanced at Gao Liyang, his eyes filled with two words.

Rubbish.

Zhou Xi threw the food to Gao Liyang and asked Gao Yuanyuan: "Have you eaten the sausage?"

"Hey, it's four people!" Gao Yuanyuan took the stick and turned her head to point.

Only then did Zhou Xi realize that behind Gao Liyang, there were three people holding a sausage each and watching them quietly. It was all because Gao Liyang was tall and strong and blocked their view.

"Gao Liyang, don't worry, I didn't bring any braised pork tonight." Gao Yuanyuan saw Gao Liyang sneaking behind Zhou Xi at some point and was very afraid of her.

Hong Shao Rou is a community bull. He would go up to everyone he saw and say hello, stick out his tongue and wag his tail. Gao Yuanyuan knew that there would be many people around tonight and she couldn't stand Hong Shao Rou's noise.

Besides, these days, dogs are easier to get lost than people. Hong Shao Rou is not familiar with this place, and she doesn't want to let anything go wrong.

"Haha, that's good."

"Hey! Have you two had enough of your sweetness? The flowers we have been waiting for have all wilted." Xiao Xiaoyu licked the skewer and successfully swallowed a starch sausage.

"Miss."

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go. I'm starving." Xiao Xiaoyu hugged Zhou Xi's waist and turned around, throwing the skewer perfectly into the trash can.

Zhou Xi patted Xiao Xiaoyu's paw and carried it to Gao Yuanyuan: "I want to buy sausage too."

"Hey, hey, hey, you two go ahead, we'll go first. Yangyang, remember, three yuan for one, five yuan for two, don't get ripped off."

"I know."

Xiao Xiaoyu hugged Gao Yuanyuan sweetly and ran to the night market, with Lu Zisheng and Chen Yu following closely behind.

The sausage stall was set up on a small table with two small sausage grilling machines and a few bottles of seasoning on it. Boxes of sausages and a trash can were placed on the ground. It looked quite hygienic.

One of the couple was greeting the customers, packaging the starch sausages, inserting skewers and placing them on the machine, while the other one was grilling them, adding condiments, collecting money and chatting with the customers.

In the middle of winter, people always want to have something warm. Starch sausage is delicious, cheap, and doesn’t take up too much space in the stomach, so many people stop to pay.

Although the couple were wearing masks and looked no longer young, their calm and composed temperament made people feel comfortable, and some people even took pictures secretly.

But looking at the temperament of this couple, they don’t fit in here at all, as if they are here to experience life.

"Handsome guy, beautiful girl, give me some hot starch sausages, two for five yuan!"

"Okay." Gao Liyang scanned the code to pay, then stood with Zhou Xi waiting for the sausages.

"Handsome guy, are you bringing your girlfriend out to celebrate New Year's together?" The boss used the bottle unskillfully to add cooking oil to the grilled sausage.

"No, friend." Gao Liyang smiled.

Zhou Xi stared at the proprietress's beautiful eyes, which could not be covered even by a mask. His slender fingers, wearing gloves, struggled with the tight casing, moving slowly for fear of damaging the integrity of the starchy intestine.

It seemed that her gaze lingered for too long, and the proprietress looked up at her and smiled. Zhou Xi pursed her lips, nodded, and looked away.

The powdery grilled sausage is added with cooking oil, sizzles under high temperature, and then slowly turns slightly yellow.

"I don't believe it. If two people stood together, the man was talented and the woman was beautiful, even heaven wouldn't believe it."

The air was filled with the smell of tea.

"Really not, how can I be worthy of her? She is a top student in college, and I am a poor student. I am so ashamed." Gao Liyang smelled the fragrance and spoke more happily.

"You can't, hey, little girl, don't you like those with poor grades?"

Zhou Xi elbowed Gao Liyang. This guy was just trying to deceive people and made himself sound pathetic.

"No, he's a scumbag who specializes in deceiving young girls."

Gao Liyang: “…”

The boss also choked, frowned, and looked at Gao Liyang angrily: "Tsk, I really can't tell, I can't tell! This world is terrible."

"Boss, she just likes to talk nonsense, don't believe her, haha." Gao Liyang stretched out his arm and put his arm around Zhou Xi's shoulders.

"Are you going to destroy me?" Gao Liyang smiled and whispered in Zhou Xi's ear.

Zhou Xi put his hands in his pockets, too lazy to argue with Gao Liyang.

"Would you like to take it to go? Mild, medium, spicy, or super spicy?"

“Not taking away, slightly spicy.”

"Eat it straight up, medium spicy."

The boss didn't stop moving his hands, looking suspiciously at the two people: "Is this, a young couple's hobby?"

"Yes, it is."

"Little girl, this is yours, be careful with the heat." The boss wrapped a tissue around the skewer and handed it to her.

"Thanks."

Zhou Xi glanced away from Gao Liyang, his meaning was very clear.

Gao Liyang let go of him: "Oh."

"Yours, young man."

"Thanks. Hey, boss, why don't you wrap a tissue for me?" Gao Liyang had no choice but to tear off a tissue himself.

"Why do you, a grown man, care so much? What's wrong with girls being treated well?"

"Okay, boss, business is booming, let's go!"

"Bye, come back when it's delicious!"

"Next year!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Xi heard the boss and the boss's wife whispering.

"Wife, are we getting old? Why are today's young couples so handsome and beautiful?"

"Be good, don't be so self-deprecating. You've been dealing with too many old men and women in the office."

The starch sausage was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was so hot that Zhou Xi opened her mouth and stayed still for three seconds. Gao Liyang saw that Zhou Xi had stopped and was standing there waiting for her.

"Tongtong!" Fu Xuanhua pushed away Yang Jinyang's hand, slid to Zhou Xi's side in a few steps, and touched him skillfully.

When Xu Shulan left, Fu Xuanhua also went there, but her department was very busy. She negotiated with the director for a whole night before he approved her for half a day off. She had lunch and hurried back.

She saw that Zhou Xi looked much better and calmer, and everything was moving in a good direction.

"Sister Fu, why are you and my brother here?"

Yang Jinyang stared at Zhou Xi from behind like a vengeful ghost, wishing he could chase her sister away right then and there. Xiangxiang's wife, upon seeing Zhou Xi, abandoned him and ran away! Without a second thought, he was so cheap!!!

"Brother." Zhou Xi greeted Yang Jinyang.

Gao Liyang waved his hand: "Hello, sister! Hello, brother!"

"Hey, hello, I remember you. You're very handsome. Gao Liyang, right?"

Yang Jinyang gritted his teeth, smiled, and nodded in response.

"Sister, you have a good memory. It's me."

Haha! His sister is surrounded by that flower-guarding messenger, why is he so haunting, holding a sausage, like a yellow-haired guy, how can he be worthy of her sister.

"Oh, yes, Tongtong, we were originally in the north, and we ended up here while walking."

"Xuanxuan, let's go." Yang Jinyang calmly took her back.

"Wait a minute." Fu Xuanhua pushed Yang Jinyang's face away, "Xiao Xi, are you planning to spend New Year's Eve with him?"

As soon as Zhou Xi saw Fu Xuanhua's eager eyes, he knew that his sister Fu must be having wild thoughts: "There are still four left. We bought sausages and left them behind."

"Is that so? Hey, Yang Jinyang, how about we celebrate New Year's Eve with them?"

Yang Jinyang firmly disagrees, he wants to be alone with his wife!

"Xuanxuan, you promised me, you..." Yang Jinyang winked at Zhou Xi.

"Sister Fu, we won't be your light bulbs anymore."

Fu Xuanhua chuckled: "I was just kidding, you kids are having more fun, we can't jump anymore."

Yang Jinyang pinched Fu Xuanhua's cheek: "You are just kidding me!"

"Don't touch me!"

Zhou Xi took a bite of the sausage and exchanged glances with Gao Liyang. "Sister Fu, we're leaving first. You guys can have fun. Happy New Year's Eve and Happy New Year."

"Yeah, Happy New Year's Eve and Happy New Year!"

Yang Jinyang looked at the backs of Zhou Xi and Gao Liyang, feeling unhappy all over and turned his head away.

"You're still looking!"

"Ah, Yang Jinyang, don't you think there's something interesting about Tongtong and this boy?"

"It's boring. Wait until I go back and teach that girl a lesson. You are not allowed to look at her anymore. Look at me!" Yang Jinyang held Fu Xuanhua's little face with his warm hands.

Fu Xuanhua twisted his neck and pointed: "Okay, I see, I want to eat grilled sausage, buy it for me."

Yang Jinyang lowered his head, kissed her, and rubbed against Fu Xuanhua again: "Wait, your husband will buy it for you!"

The sausage couple, who had already eaten a mouthful of dog food, said: "..."

The boss said he also wanted to be close to his wife, so after Yang Jinyang paid, while the sausages were still being processed, he ran to the boss's wife, took off his mask, revealing his superior facial features, lowered his head, rubbed against her, and had a good kiss.

Yang Jinyang: “…”

“Crack!”

Fu Xuanhua took a photo of Yang Jinyang, who was pouting speechlessly.

Yang Jinyang couldn't hold back his words and felt secretly happy.

My wife took a picture of me!
