Chapter 70: Club Building

Jin Yuanbao was bored at home alone.

Chew the cat bowl, sleep, touch the paws, and play on the climbing frame.

Finally, I collapsed in front of the French window, watching the sunset outside and the clouds rolling in the sky.

A sparrow landed on the air conditioner outside the window. Jin Yuanbao stared at the hopping little shadow, his nose almost touching the glass. He jumped to the window sill and tiptoed, ready to catch it in one fell swoop.

He seized the opportunity and launched a burst of fire, but he didn't expect that there was another window outside. The gold ingot was hit so hard that it made him dizzy and fell to the ground with a plop.

It was so embarrassing. Jin Yuanbao chose to lie down and pretend to be dead.

Suddenly.

There was a slight sound outside the door.

Jin Yuanbao pricked up his ears, twitched the tip of his tail slightly, and opened his eyes wide, which had been closed.

It stepped on its four legs and ran towards the entrance without stopping.

*

Lin Qingxu had just entered the code to unlock the door and opened it when she saw a kitten sitting on the rug in the entrance hall, its tail twitching. Upon seeing her, it meowed loudly and sweetly.

Lin Qingxu squatted down and stroked its fur, put down his things, washed his hands, and fed it a cat snack.

At that time, Jin Yuanbao was just a little fat, not like the big fat boy he would be a few years later.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of Jin Yuanbao licking. It was obvious that Kan Zhao had not returned yet.

He'd been incredibly busy lately, with seemingly endless club events. Even though they lived under the same roof, their encounters had become much less frequent, mostly before 8 a.m.

Night fell, and soon after, Kan Zhao sent a voice message, saying he would be back later. He also told Lin Qingxu to lock the doors and windows.

His voice came through the receiver, slightly hoarse from being busy, and the background noise was a bit noisy.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qingxu fed Jin Yuanbao cat food.

With nothing to do in the evening, Lin Qingxu took some chips and drinks from the snack cabinet, curled up on the sofa, and randomly chose an old movie.

The lights were off. The images flowed, the light in the room dimmed, and the light and shadow on the screen shifted, reflecting her face.

After eating and drinking his fill, Jin Yuanbao jumped onto the sofa, found a comfortable spot next to Lin Qingxu's legs, curled up and watched with her.

The film's slow tempo, the period music, and the somewhat drawn-out plot soon made one drowsy. Jin Yuanbao, curled up beside her legs, yawned widely, shifted his posture, and continued to play.

The phone vibrated, it was Ruan Yanyan's call request.

After a year, she had already mastered the study methods of college. Ruan Yanyan also upgraded to a thin and light laptop. After all, except for rendering, a gaming laptop was more convenient, but other tasks could be handled by a thin and light laptop.

The main thing was that it was light, making it easier to carry than before. As a result, her university life had become much more relaxed these days. She also had the leisure to check on Lin Qingxu's situation.

The couple they've been supporting for so long finally have some clues. Ruan Yanyan couldn't help but get excited as she spoke, getting straight to the point. "Qing Xu, how's the confession going? Have you made your move?"

"We're still preparing, but it should be almost done."

"Sure, sure." Ruan Yanyan suddenly thought, "Have you decided on the flowers for Kan Zhao? What kind? I heard that when buying flowers, you should choose those with good meanings."

"I'm going to make an order tomorrow." She's also been selecting flower varieties lately. Since it's her first time, and she doesn't want to make any mistakes in the details, she's inevitably going to be a bit meticulous.

"Hey, don't make a decision yet." Ruan Yanyan's tone rose a little, with some excitement and mystery. "I'm telling you, I've got you covered! It's definitely a surprise!"

"What are you planning to buy?" Lin Qingxu asked.

"Hey, keep it a secret for now!" Ruan Yanyan kept it a secret. "Anyway, leave it to me! I guarantee your confession will be a truly memorable one!"

She gave a few more instructions, such as what clothes to wear and what time would be the most appropriate time, and finally hung up the phone with Lin Qingxu with satisfaction.

Until there was no sound from the other side of the phone, Lin Qingxu put down the phone, and the living room returned to silence, with only the insignificant dialogue in the movie remaining.

Lin Qingxu looked at Jin Yuanbao sleeping soundly beside his legs, and thought of Ruan Yanyan's words "definitely a surprise". The drowsiness in his heart caused by the movie dissipated, and was replaced by a subtle, mixed with uneasy expectation.

*

The clock struck nine. Seeing it wasn't too late, Lin Qingxu went to take a shower. After washing her face and drying her hair, she slumped back onto the sofa, ready to finish watching that boring old movie.

There were several messages from Ruan Yanyan on the home screen of the phone, which she had sent a few minutes ago.

Lin Qingxu opened the conversation interface, and several pictures of different bouquets popped up.

Yanyan doesn't eat salt: [Quick. Let me give you some advice. Which one feels the best?]

The flowers in the picture are of different styles, including champagne roses with a color mixed between champagne and light pink, pure white calla lilies...there are quite a lot of varieties.

Lin Qingxu was attracted by the dark red roses in the corner. She circled the picture and sent it to Ruan Yanyan.

Yanyan doesn't eat salt: [OK! Got it! I'll give you some advice.]

She just said this, without mentioning whether she would prepare according to this. Then she disappeared again, leaving a suspense.

Lin Qingxu curled her lips slightly and was about to put down her phone, but her fingertips accidentally clicked on a push notification of a Weibo post.

Algorithm recommendations are always amazing. She clearly didn't know the blogger before, but perhaps because they had the same friend, this update was seen by Lin Qingxu.

A nine-square grid of photos captured the lively scene inside the private room. There were group photos and individual selfies. Several photos were arranged in the shape of a heart, and in the center was a photo of Kan Zhao and the girl side by side.

The surroundings were decorated with glittering heart stickers and cute animal designs. The girl was beaming, while Kan Zhao seemed rather aloof, keeping a clear distance from her. He held his phone to his lips as he spoke, a smile playing on his lips.

This was probably a candid photo, as Kan Zhao wasn't looking at the camera. The photo also showed signs of being deliberately cropped.

Lin Qingxu clicked on the accompanying text.

[The best birthday gift is your company! My crush is here too! He seems a little aloof, though. I'm still happy though~]

Below are all blessings.

It is said that the male protagonist's attitude seems to have gradually softened. At least at the beginning he refused to add any contact information. Later, the two added each other as friends. Now the other party is willing to celebrate the birthday together. The future is really promising.

For a moment, the movie's dialogue suddenly blurred into distant background noise in Lin Qingxu's ears.

Jin Yuanbao seemed to notice her change in mood and rubbed his head against her arm.

"fine."

Lin Qingxu comforted it.

Perhaps this is just a figment of the imagination, and it doesn't mean anything. Kan Zhao in the photo doesn't show any closeness to the blogger who posted the article.

But I couldn't help but think about how the so-called club building turned into a solo birthday party...

His usually calm and careful logical thinking ability seemed to be completely nullified in an instant.

She believed in Kan Zhao.

But Lin Qingxu found that the little courage she had accumulated in the past few days began to crumble.

Maybe it's because she's not strong enough.
