In the new semester of their senior year of high school, Xu Song, who had always sat alone, became deskmates with the new student, Ning Qingxu. After getting to know each other for a semester, they...

Chapter 64

Xu Song: "I didn't eat anything yesterday. I have no appetite at all."

Ning Qingxu: "I'll take you out to eat today. Are you still sleepy? Do you want to sleep?"

Xu Song didn't have the heart to wake anyone up so early in the morning, even though he wasn't sleepy at all.

Xu Song: "You go to sleep first."

Xu Song stayed up until after eight o'clock when Ning Qingxu called. His roommates were all awake, so Xu Song answered the call directly in the dormitory.

Ning Qingxu: "I'm coming to see you now?"

"Is this your boyfriend?" Chen Shu looked at him.

"Yes." Xu Song responded to Chen Shu, "Okay, come now."

Chen Shu still looked at him: "Aren't you going to tell him?"

Seeing that he was about to tell the story, Xu Song hung up the phone irritably: "Let's talk about it later."

Xinzhi sat up from the bed in a daze and roared, "You have a secret, right? Are you still brothers?"

Chen Shu used the morning class as an excuse and ran away with his books and notebooks.

"Okay! You are a bunch of treacherous beasts! I will never be friends with you again!" Xinzhi was furious.

Xu Song glanced at him and asked, "Who are you dating?"

Xinzhi didn't take it seriously and dawdled changing his clothes. He didn't have classes until the afternoon. Suddenly, something occurred to him and his eyes lit up as he asked, "Who did you just say was coming to see you? If you guys go out to play, can you take me with you?"

"My boyfriend." Xu Song said, "I'm moving out of the dormitory." Xu Song didn't look at him.

Xu Song didn't tell anyone that he was moving out of the dormitory. No one knew about it except Ning Qingxu, including Chen Shu who knew that he was pregnant.

Xinzhi was shocked to hear this. He immediately jumped down from the upper bunk and almost knelt in front of him: "No, bro, I'm just kidding. We'll be brothers forever!"

"Why so sudden?" Shi Yun seemed to have no emotional fluctuations.

"No, it's not because of you. My health is not good, so I may move back later." Xu Song packed up his clothes and various daily necessities, feeling a little reluctant.

Apart from the occasional lunch and dinner appointments, they only met in the dorm. His roommates were so kind to him, so it would be a little strange for him to move out all of a sudden.

"No, brother! I will never say such mean things again, really." Xinzhi confessed sincerely.

"Really, I don't blame you." Xu Song took out his phone and checked the time before continuing, "Do you have classes this afternoon? If not, I'll take you out to play."

Xinzhi said that the hard-working party is willing to take leave.

Shi Yun said he had time.

"OK."

Ning Qingxu arrived around nine o'clock and was waiting for him downstairs in the dormitory. Xinzhi insisted on helping Xu Song carry his things, and Shiyun also helped carry his suitcase.

So when they arrived at the dormitory building, Xinzhi was carrying a backpack, Shiyun was carrying a suitcase, and Xu Song was holding a cell phone and a power bank. This was the scene Ning Qingxu saw.

Ning Qingxu: "..."

"Oh my god!" Xinzhi excitedly touched Xu Song's arm and whispered, "Your boyfriend is even more handsome in person than in the photo!"

Ning Qingxu greeted them and took the things from their hands.

The temperature downstairs was much lower than upstairs, and anyone standing there would definitely be freezing, so when Xu Song heard Ning Qingxu was coming, he rushed downstairs at lightning speed. Ning Qingxu didn't wear gloves, and her knuckles were frozen red, which Xu Song even thought was a bit morbidly beautiful.

Xu Song pushed Xinzhi's hand away and turned to grab Ning Qingxu's hand, but it was held back. Although it was cold, he felt inexplicably relieved.

"Okay, okay, you forgot about your brothers because you have a sister-in-law." Xinzhi suddenly felt a little jealous, and ran to hold Shi Yun's hand to save face.

In order to impress the world, Xinzhi did what he said and really took a leave. After Xu Song put his luggage in the apartment, he followed Ning Qingxu and the others to a dessert shop near Ningcheng.

As soon as he entered the shop, he smelled a rich sweet aroma. The dessert shop was not crowded, and the interior decoration was warm colors, which reminded Xu Song of the restaurant he had eaten at before with Ning Qingxu and Li Ziyan, the student council member. But the aroma was different.

The heating was on indoors but it wasn't cold, so the guests were all dressed coolly.

The clerk at the front desk was also wearing a cute princess dress and smiling. The male clerk looked very formal in a suit. If you hadn't seen the name of the store, you would have almost thought it was a wedding scene.

The waiter led them inside the dessert shop, where the chocolate brown walls were decorated with descriptions of various desserts. They stopped just before the dessert shop's entrance, at a spot overlooking a clear river.

There was a small boat floating on the river, with a girl in a blue cheongsam and shawl rowing on it. The river was not deep, but very clear. There were no fish in the river, only some small stones sinking to the bottom.

There seemed to be many willow trees planted near the window, and the willow branches drooped down and were decorated by the breeze into a natural green curtain. It felt like I had arrived in the Jiangnan area.

Xu Song and Ning Qingxu sat on one side, Xinzhi and Shi Yun sat on the other side, and the clerk handed them two introduction sheets.

Shi Yun took the order and asked Xin Zhi what they wanted to eat. Xin Zhi ignored him and looked at the girl rowing outside the window. Suddenly, he felt distressed: "Oh my God, is that girl outside also employed by the dessert shop? It's too torturous, it's so cold."

Seeing his concerns, the clerk quickly explained, "Ah, we have heaters on by the river, so it won't be too cold."

"Turn on the heater outside?" Xinzhi was a little surprised.

"Well, everyone, what would you like to order?" The waiter stood aside. "Is there any customer allergic to osmanthus?"

"without."

Xu Song felt a little embarrassed looking at so many desserts.

"How about the bayberry and taro ball ice?" Ning Qingxu asked him.

"OK."

"Where's the strawberry mochi ice?" Ning Qingxu asked him again.

"Why is everything icy?"

"What about matcha yogurt?"

"good."

Compared to Xinzhi and the other two, Xu Song's dessert ordering went relatively smoothly, at least it didn't give the waiter a heart attack.

Shi Yun: "What is the spring water?"

Xinzhi: "That one is not tasty, too sweet."

Shi Yun: "Would you like some lychee pastry?"

New Knowledge: "Let me tell you, the lychee pastry is super dry and greasy, you're guaranteed to fail."

Shop assistant: “…”

After they ordered their desserts with great difficulty, the waiter fled the scene.

Xu Song noticed that Xinzhi had been staring at Ning Qingxu's neck and couldn't help asking, "This is my boyfriend, what are you looking at?"

"Uh, what's your boyfriend wearing around his neck? A necklace with letters on it?" Xinzhi commented. "He's quite unique."

"Yeah, it's a custom-made silver necklace. I gave it to him for his birthday."

When the desserts arrived, they filled the entire table, with bright colors and a strong aroma.

The desserts seemed to be sprinkled with osmanthus flowers. The osmanthus buds were slightly opened after waking up, emitting a faint floral fragrance.

The bayberry and taro ball ice is not greasy, and the light purple taro ball ice below is slightly sweet. The main taste is icy, and the sour and sweet bayberry just relieves the greasiness.
