Chapter 51

The day before the school was on vacation, Lan Shuqing moved into the rented house. He would be a senior next semester, so Lan Shuqing simply paid a year's rent in one lump sum and finished his college life.

On the first day of moving, Li Liyue video-called Lan Shuqing, insisting on seeing if the house was in good condition. She didn't feel relieved until she saw that the house was neatly arranged and clean.

The other half is still with Lan Shuqing himself.

"Look at you, it's okay for you to study in Beijing, but you also have to do an internship there. When can you go home?"

Li Liyue was initially happy and proud that Lan Shuqing was going to Peking University, but later on, she felt a little overwhelmed. As a mother, she had never been separated from Lan Shuqing for more than a few months, especially since Lan Shuqing was busy with school and could only come home during holidays.

Moreover, after going to college, Lan Shuqing became more stable, but somehow he also gradually became aloof.

The specific manifestation is that she no longer acts coquettishly with her as often. Li Liyue is very sad, and feels that she is no longer under the control of her mother when she grows up.

After hearing Li Liyue's words, Lan Zhaoting continued, "Shu Qing, your mother misses you. You should go home when your internship is not busy."

Lan Shu nodded slightly, "I know, Dad."

Then she looked at Li Liyue again and said with a smile: "Mom, I bought you a summer skirt. It's on the way. Remember to pick it up."

Li Liyue curled her lips and said, "Okay, okay, then you take good care of yourself. If you really can't find a nanny, or I can take a look at you now..."

Lan Shuqing shouted helplessly, "Mom~"

Seeing her like this, Li Liyue immediately stopped thinking, "Then you can do it yourself."

Lan Shu nodded slightly, "I know."

The two chatted about other things. Lan Shuqing asked about Lan Qi's situation again. Knowing that the other party was still crying and working overtime, he didn't say anything more.

About half an hour later, Lan Shuqing hung up the video and lay on the bed playing with his phone.

Open your Moments and refresh it.

The first one that appears is a blank avatar.

Lan Shuqing had never seen Jiang Baifa’s Moments before. She straightened up and looked carefully. There was a crying emoticon on the Moments.

The copy reads: The barbecue place I've been thinking about is closed! It's closed!!!

The three exclamation marks were followed by three tearful emojis.

Lan Shu pursed her lips lightly, moved her fingertips, and swiped away, then saw another sister's circle of friends.

Caption: So good!

Attached was a video. Lan Shuqing clicked on it out of curiosity. It was an anime and one of the most popular CPs on Pear Station. She had seen it before, but hadn't looked closely at what this CP was.

Since she had nothing else to do, Lan Shuqing opened it and started reading. Halfway through, she closed it. She lay on her back on the bed, closed her eyes, and felt a little confused.

Lan Shuqing has been studious since childhood. He is talented and smart, so he learns things very quickly.

More than two years ago, when Jiang Bai refused her to take care of him, she had already checked it online.

Why do you want to be with another person all the time?

I miss you when I can’t see you, and I’m very happy when I see you. I want to give you the best.

The answers online are all that you like that person.

Love's like.

But she and Jiang Bai are both girls.

Then she searched again: Can girls be with girls?

The answer is yes.

So, Lan Shuqing knew a lot. She felt that she liked Jiang Bai, but Jiang Bai probably didn't like her, otherwise he wouldn't have been so cold to her at the beginning.

It is not easy for two girls to be together. If Jiang Bai doesn't like her, then forget it.

And sometimes she would wonder if it was because she had never met an older sister, so she mistook that feeling for love.

But when she went to college, she realized that it was not the case.

No one could make her fall in love at first sight like Jiang Bai did.

No one else would make her want to get close to him like Jiang Bai did.

No one can.

After going to college, Lan Shuqing also learned more things, such as that love really knows no gender or age.

She followed a couple on the blog. At first, she just wanted to see if there was really love between girls. Then she gradually discovered that the couple was just like ordinary couples. They would eat together, watch movies together, joke with each other, take photos together, and overcome difficulties together.

During this time, she also learned other related knowledge and read various stories. The one that impressed her the most was a comic from an island country.

It tells the story between a high school student and her teacher.

They never confirmed their relationship while they were high school students, but they cared about each other.

It was not until I graduated from high school and was admitted to a good university that I confirmed my relationship with the teacher.

So when Lan Shuqing recalls the past, she always remembers Jiang Bai telling her to study hard.

Just like an old lady.

Young old mother.

Woo~

The phone on the bed vibrated once, then a few more times.

Lan Shuqing collected her thoughts and opened her phone. It was a message from an anime avatar, the same sister who had just posted on WeChat Moments about having a crush on someone. Lan Shuqing's note for her was Qiuqiuyue.

Qiuqiuyue: I heard that our Shuqing is going to internship soon.

Qiuqiuyue: Come out and play tomorrow, I’ll treat you to dinner!

Enough of that!

Lan Shu chuckled and replied: Did my brother tell you that?

Qiuqiuyue: Huh

Qiuqiuyue: He is still working overtime

Qiuqiuyue: She said she would take time to come to Beijing after finishing her work in the next two days.

Qiuqiuyue: I think he is worried about you

Lan Shuqing replied: Why do I feel like he misses you?

Then he jokingly replied: Sister-in-law~

The person on the other side seemed to be amused: Oh, our Shuqing is so cute~

Qiuqiuyue: Send me your address

Qiuqiuyue: I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon

Qiuqiuyue: Go shopping with me~ and have dinner with me~

Lan Shuqing: Okay, sister-in-law~

After agreeing on a time, Lan Shuqing took a screenshot and sent it to Lan Qi. Qiu Qiuyue's real name was Qiu Jinyue. She was Lan Qi's college classmate from the school next door, and now she is also Lan Qi's girlfriend.

How did they get together? It was an online relationship.

When Lan Shuqing first heard about Lan Qi's online romance, she found it very strange that her brother, who looked so serious, would actually fall in love online.

The key point is that the other party agreed, and the two of them talked for two years. It was really hard to believe, but later Lan Shuqing accidentally heard Lan Qi talking to the other party on the phone, feeling relaxed and comfortable. Lan Shuqing felt that this was how it should be.

Qiu Jinyue is currently working in Beijing. Lan Qi flies over every month, and comes once every two weeks when he is not busy. If Lan Shuqing is not busy either, the three of them will have dinner together, play some games, etc.

The next day, Qiu Jinyue arrived as promised, picked up Lan Shuqing, and went straight to the largest shopping mall nearby.

September is coming soon, and Qiu Jinyue wants to buy some autumn clothes. Lan Qi will also come to Beijing in a while, so they should prepare a gift for him together.

The two of them first went to the women's clothing store on the second floor. Qiu Jinyue was very optimistic about a niche store here. The design and materials were good, but the price was a bit expensive.

The Lan family would have several sets of clothes custom-made every season, so Lan Shuqing seldom went shopping for clothes. She didn't have any ideas, so she would just look around while Qiu Jinyue was choosing clothes.

Qiu Jinyue was picking out clothes while the shopping guide beside her was recommending them to her. It was a pity that she really liked some of the clothes that looked sassy, ​​but she couldn't wear that feeling. She glanced at the windbreaker on the shelf, then at Lan Shuqing who was standing beside her, and hurried over, "Shuqing, come here."

Lan Shuqing was pulled over by her, and a khaki slim-fit short jacket with retro elements was stuffed into her hand.

"Shu Qing, try this one."

The sales assistant on the side said very attentively: "There is only one piece of this dress left in our store. It suits this lady very well. You can try it on."

Lan Shu glanced at it lightly and thought it was okay. She changed her coat under Qiu Jinyue's gaze.

Qiu Jinyue noticed that Lan Shuqing had a bracelet on her wrist. She quickly grabbed Lan Shuqing's hand and said, "Hey, Shuqing, when did you buy a bracelet?"

Lan Shu raised his wrist slightly and said, "It was given to me by someone else."

"oh?"

Qiu Jinyue was very curious. She stared into Lan Shuqing's eyes and asked, "You rarely accept gifts from others. What kind of person are you?"

She noticed the specialness of the bracelet, "It's a bracelet with lucky beads."

Not only did he accept the gift, he also wore it close to his body. He must not be an ordinary friend.

In response to Qiu Jinyue's curious look, Lan Shu smiled lightly, then put on his coat and said to the mirror, "Sister Yueyue, this coat looks good. You have good taste."

Qiu Jinyue didn't mind her changing the subject. She also looked in the mirror, then at Lan Shuqing, revealing a satisfied expression, "Shuqing, you really are a clothes hanger. You look good in anything you wear."

Today, Lan Shuqing happened to be wearing a pair of black tights, which paired with this jacket made her legs look longer. She was tall and had no expression on her face. She looked exactly like Qiu Jinyue's favorite type, so cool.

Lan Shu glanced at herself in the mirror. She was dazed for a moment, then said to Qiu Jinyue, "Sister Yueyue, weren't you the one buying the clothes? Why are you picking them for me again?"

Qiu Jinyue waved her hands. "Oh, you're so pretty." Then she adjusted Lan Shu's collar and said to the salesperson beside her with great satisfaction, "We'll take this one."

The shopping guide's smile brightened a little more, "Okay."

Having satisfied her little interest, Qiu Jinyue finally began to pick her clothes seriously. She asked Lan Shuqing to help her with each selection. Qiu Jinyue's style was sweet and she liked cute things. In the end, she picked out a thin velvet coat and a slightly formal suit jacket. The former was for daily wear, and the latter was occasionally worn in business occasions.

In addition to clothes, Qiu Jinyue also picked out two cute scarves to wear when the weather gets colder.
