Chapter 25: An Ordinary Special Enrollment Student

Today, the bookstore owner gave Ning Song a week's salary. It wasn't much money, but Ning Song was very happy. He planned to treat Qiao Qiao to a meal.

Qiao Qiao often bought him food, and his desk was almost filled with food.

He planned to treat Pu Yu, Shen Lingsi, Sheng Yan and all the others to a big meal once he got paid from his part-time job at the KTV!

He found a restaurant with good value for money on the food court using the review software and sent the location to Qiao Qiao.

Ning Song walked while reading the reviews of the restaurant in the comment section and took a look at their signature dishes.

As he was walking, suddenly a colorful paper airplane was thrown towards him.

Ning Song quickly reached out to catch it, and when he saw the paper plane almost flying to him, it suddenly turned in the air and flew back. In the light of the setting sun, he saw Li You catch the paper plane easily in his hand and smile at him wickedly.

Tsk, force the king.

Beside him were Liu Fang, Lin Li and others. They seemed to have just come out of the cafeteria after dinner. Lin Li was holding half a cup of milk tea in his hand.

Under the setting sun, several people had some bad habits. Lin Li was no longer the fierce guy in Dayangfang, but turned into the handsome and charming boy who wore uniform properly.

He felt that Lin Li might not just be Li You's admirer, he should have penetrated Li You's social circle and was to some extent his younger brother.

Apparently Liu Fang and the others also have a very good relationship with him.

Ning Song smiled and clapped his hands: "Wow, Brother You is so awesome."

Li You looked at him and said, "Pretend again."

Ning Song took the phone and walked away.

Li You laughed.

Ning Song saw him throw the paper plane at him again. This time the paper plane flew in front of him and he caught it.

It takes skill to stack paper airplanes. He took the paper airplane in his hand and examined it. Li You stacked it with an ordinary flyer.

When he looked up, Li You was already leaving with his men.

"Brother You." He called him.

Li You turned around.

"Have you signed up for the poetry recitation in your class?"

Li You said, "Do you think I can recite poetry?"

Lin Li and the others just laughed.

Ning Song also smiled, reached out and threw his paper airplane back.

His throw was not good. He had just spread the paper plane out and didn't fold it properly, so it couldn't fly. However, they were not far away, so Li You still caught it.

Ning Song has gone away.

Li You: “Hey!”

Ning Song did not look back.

Lin Li glanced at Li You and saw that Li You was looking at Ning Song's back with his tongue on his cheek. The setting sun shone on his face from the side, and his high nose was shining with sweat.

Ning Song arrived at the restaurant first, and Qiao Qiao arrived soon after.

They were having dinner when Qiao Qiao received a message. She read it, then looked up and showed her phone to Ning Song: "Li You asked me to give him your number."

Ning Song said, "Push it."

Qiao Qiao replied while saying, "Have you seen him in the past few days? I heard he has a boxing match in the next two days. Can he fight with his hands?"

Ning Song said, "At least there are no bandages around my hands anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a text message from Li You.

"Please check it on FB."

Ning Song opened FB and saw Li You's friend request.

FB is not Facebook, but the abbreviation is the same. It is the main social media in this world. The full name is friend bridge, which is roughly translated into Chinese as 友友桥 or 友友桥. It feels very similar to WeChat, but it is more widely used and has a wider scope. He also saw some videos on it that are not suitable for children.

Li You’s Facebook profile picture is a bloody boxing glove.

It might really be because people of the same kind sympathize with each other, when he saw Li You's portrait, he actually felt a little emotional.

He and Li You paid attention to each other.

Li You sent a message: "You have a bad temper."

Ning Song sent him an emoticon in which a man in ancient costume covered his chest and said, "I am so wronged!"

Including Sheng Yan, Qiao Qiao, Fan Duoduo and several old classmates, the number of people he follows has exceeded ten.

He usually doesn't play FB and finds it boring. After dinner, he had nothing to do and thought that since he had added them, he might as well add all the people around him.

Especially Pu Yu.

Pu Yu often sends messages with only a few words at a time, which he thinks is a waste of money.

To be honest, he only has Pu Yu's phone number now. He thinks Pu Yu is just like him and probably doesn't use social media much.

FB requires real names. He searched Pu Yu's name and found several people with the same name. He looked through them one by one but couldn't figure out which one was Pu Yu's.

It doesn't feel like his style.

He asked Qiao Qiao: "Which one is Pu Yu's account?"

Qiao Qiao said: "He doesn't have Facebook, he has cancelled it."

Look up with reverence.

Qiao Qiao said while drinking juice: "He dropped out of school in junior high school."

"Deregistered?"

Qiao Qiao put down the juice and showed his usual gossipy look. He was wearing black-framed glasses today, which made him look more like a gossipy NPC. He adjusted his glasses and leaned over to say, "Speaking of which, many people know that he was not as lonely as he was in high school when he was in junior high school... He was a loner... At that time, he also played with his classmates. There were a few rich second-generations who had a good relationship with him. They would play ball together and have meals together. Later, their private chat records were stolen by someone. It was exposed, and the people who exposed it were not good people. They complained about Pu Yu in a small group, saying that he was quiet, boring, and pretentious. If it wasn't for his family's face, who would deal with someone like him? What's more, they even discussed asking Pu Yu for a birthday gift, saying that he would give it to you anyway... Anyway, it was quite embarrassing. At that time, this matter was spread very widely in our junior high school. It was probably at that time that he cancelled his social media account. "

Ning Song: “…”

"Later, several of those people transferred to other schools. I don't know if they did it on their own initiative or were forced to do so. The remaining one or two are almost strangers to Pu Yu now, and they all avoid him." Qiao Qiao said, "He hasn't joined any groups since then. Didn't you notice that he's not in any class groups? I think his aloofness has something to do with this incident. In fact, I think he's okay, and not particularly boring."

Ning Song said "hmm", and then regretted not inviting Pu Yu to dinner today.

After they finished their meal, Ning Song kept thinking about this. It was dark, and the food street was bustling. The aroma of food mixed together, forming a fireworks atmosphere under the golden street lights. There were a few junior high school students in the food street looking for food. They looked much younger, about thirteen or fourteen years old. Ning Song looked at them and thought that Pu Yu was probably about the same age in junior high school. He might be taller than these students, but his features must be just as young.

I don't know why I remembered that day at their house, when Pu Yu said to Liu Fen, "I feel a little bored."

Pu Yu was indeed a bit bored, but he suddenly realized that he might be even more bored in Pu Yu's eyes. He really felt that he was too bored, so he said that he "accommodated" him.

He doesn't have to work part-time tomorrow and can go to class as usual. He will definitely call Pu Yu to have lunch with him.

He tried to invite him along in the future.

As a result, when he arrived at the classroom the next day, he found that Pu Yu had asked for leave and left school.

He sent a message to Pu Yu: "Have you asked for leave?"

Pu Yu replied: "Yes."

Then he replied: "I'm going out to do something."

It is not easy to invite those big guys to give lectures in their school. They need to coordinate the time and arrange their food, clothing, housing and transportation in Upper East State. The scale of this Game Developers Conference in Upper East State, GDC, is the largest. Excellent game developers, designers and publishers from all over the world will come to participate in this event. Ordinary people can only take a quick look at the keynote speeches and activities to learn about the latest technologies and cutting-edge trends, but he wants to get Ning Song the qualifications for some important events. Shark EA is only a small company among game companies. If he wants to get enough attention from the big guys and have more meaningful face-to-face exchanges, he still has to pave the way in advance.

He wanted to bring Ning Song to communicate and learn with the big guys face to face, as a gift from [Sanma] to [The Cat That Doesn't Eat Fishy Food].

He didn't mean to hide it from him, he just heard him complain that being with him was depressing, and he was afraid that he would endure his dislike for him and be friends with him for other reasons.

He was afraid of losing the cat.

This meeting gift was also a compensation. He hoped that his selfish desires could be forgiven and that he and Ningsong could move forward together in the field they both liked.

Ningsong has had a very fulfilling time these days.

Fulfillment makes him happy.

Whether it is stage drama or part-time work, Ning Song can feel that he is growing rapidly.

He has now completely mastered all swimming styles. Once he becomes stronger and has more physical fitness, he should be able to pass the swimming class assessment requirements.

He really has a talent for sports. At least he has done well in the two sports classes he signed up for. Last week, he could barely draw the bow and arrow fully, and was laughed at by others. This week, he almost hit the red dot in the center! He shot several nine-rings, which attracted their coach!

So cool, so cool, so cool!

He felt that he had some talent for shooting and liked the feeling of shooting an arrow. Qiao Qiao said that he was not strong enough and it would be better for him to transfer to a high school, where the school was strong in sports and often won the school league championship.

After hearing this, he also wanted to give it a try, so he tried to hit the balloon in the amusement park of his school during the break. Wow, he actually hit the target every time.

Qiao Qiao: "You really have never played it before? You must be lying!"

Ning Song: "I think I can really turn around. Is the physical education class in our school getting better?"

He thinks shooting is much easier than archery!

Shooting is really cool.

In the meantime, they had also prepared their stage play costumes, and on Friday they had their first dress rehearsal with makeup on. Qiao Qiao tried to recommend the undistributed concert tickets to other performers in the stage play.

He especially recommended it to Sheng Yan enthusiastically.

Sheng Yan said: "I don't chase girl groups."

Ning Song immediately asked: "Are you going to chase after that rock band? Have you heard of Elope?"

Sheng Yan said: "I only pursue original singers."

"They are the original singers. Haven't you heard of 'Meteor'? How about 'Thousands of Times'? 'Cuckoo'?"

Sheng Yan said: "I know "Cuckoo"."

“It’s their band!”

Sheng Yan: “Oh.”

Ningsong saw that Anli was not moving, so he stopped.

Qiao Qiao immediately took the opportunity to recommend it to others: "Are you sure you don't want to watch girl groups? They are all super pretty girls."

Then Ning Song heard Sheng Yan say, "I like super handsome boys."

Ning Song immediately turned around and looked at Sheng Yan.

Oh oh oh.

Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and heard Li Qingyuan say, "Isn't IJ already out of fashion? The popular one now is Red Strawberry, right?"

Qiao Qiao immediately got angry: "You are the one who is out of fashion! They were just hidden for a year, okay? Now they are on tour!"

Li Qingyuan said calmly, "Why do we need to give away tickets? If you are slow, you won't be able to grab a Red Strawberry ticket. Scalpers are already driving up the price to an exorbitant level."

Qiao Qiao: “…”

Ning Song quickly pulled Qiao Qiao away.

Qiao Qiao said: "Stupid straight men don't know what beauty is, red strawberries have a bunch of artificial faces!"

Ning Song agreed: "Yes, yes, yes."

"You will know when you see me in person, I am the beautiful Caiying Oni."

Ning Song said: "I'm looking forward to it."

Sheng Yan laughed as he listened, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Ning Song's hat.

Ning Song straightened his hat and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be like this."

Sheng Yan laughed out loud this time.

He found Ningsong's nature very interesting and his mouth very powerful.

"Have you gained some weight?"

Ning Song looked up at him when he heard that, and the lights from the stage shone down on his face.

Ning Song was quite happy when talking about it, saying, "I gained a little over 3.5 kilograms this week, which is worth it for me to eat so much every meal."

"Then eat more." Sheng Yan smiled.

Ning Song turned around, took off his hat, and smoothed his hair. He felt a little hot wearing the hat, so he pushed his bangs back to reveal his smooth forehead and fanned himself with the hat.

Sheng Yan thinks Ning Song is actually quite good-looking.

If she were a little fatter, she would probably look better.

He smelled the fragrance of Ningsong's hair and asked, "What shampoo do you use?"

As he spoke, he came up and smelled it.

Ning Song didn't hear clearly, and just in time to see Chen Mo calling him, he ran over. This startled Li Qingyuan who was standing next to him, and he asked Sheng Yan, "What are you doing?"

Sheng Yan turned around: "What?"

"What do you smell?"

"Don't you think he smells nice?"

Li Qingyuan said: "I just think you are horny."

Sheng Yan raised his foot and kicked him.

Li Qingyuan smiled and dodged, and heard Chen Mo shout, "Please stop making noise on the stage."

Sheng Yan stood up and looked at Ning Song. He was dressed like a king, with a sword and long boots. He could go on stage without makeup. Ning Song was mixed in the crowd. His figure and dress were not outstanding, but he could recognize him at a glance.

It was Ning Song's first time to take part in a group performance, and he had been completely rushed into it. But now it was time for rehearsal, the music started, they put on their performance costumes, and a row of handsome young men accompanied two handsome older men onto the stage, and he felt excited.

He has very few scenes, only appearing to block the sword for Sheng Yan during the assassination battle in the fourth act. Then when Fu Huisheng pretended to pull out the sword, he fell to the ground.

In the next scene, he just needs to lie down and pretend to be a corpse, listening to the two protagonists talking passionately. Recognition is separation.

He was lying on the stage, the light from the ceiling shining right on his face. Sheng Yan was standing in front of him reciting his lines. His face was so beautiful in the dazzling light that it made him feel dizzy.

So handsome, so handsome.

He sighed.

For a moment, he wondered what kind of life he would live if he had such beauty.

It can be troublesome.

Thinking of this, he decided to give up.

So he closed his eyes under the strong light. His eyelids were red, and he felt as if he was floating in the slight dizziness.

On the stage, Fu Huisheng's impassioned speech was clear and moving.

Then the two brothers hug each other, the younger brother blocks the arrow for his older brother and dies in his arms, and then the play ends.

When the show ended and the lights went out, he opened his eyes and groped his way to his feet.

Then he saw Fu Huisheng’s boyfriend, a gym student, standing on the stage with a gloomy face.

Fu Huisheng hurried over, and the gym student's boyfriend vigorously wiped the fake blood off his face.

It was contaminated when Sheng Yan touched my face just now.

It looks like he's going to die of jealousy.

Mr. Gao Hongxuan, do you know that it is actually very difficult to strike the right balance in the character of a jealous top? Your excessive jealousy will not make people scream with cuteness!

Forget it, as long as the couple likes it.

Seeing that Fu Huisheng seemed to enjoy the performance very much, he was pulled off the stage by Gao Hongxuan without even taking off his costume. However, he was stopped by their upright squad leader.

Chen Mo said, "Fu Huisheng, change your clothes before you leave."

Fu Huisheng coaxed patiently, "Be good, wait a moment."

Gao Hongxuan let go angrily, and when he saw Sheng Yan coming down the stage, he stared unhappily at Sheng Yan's hand that had touched his boyfriend's face.

Sheng Yan wiped the fake blood off his hands with a piece of paper and said, "Your boyfriend and I share a dressing room, why don't you go and take a look?"

Gao Hongxuan immediately chased after him when he heard this.

Li Qingyuan untied his costume and laughed, "Why did you mess with him?"

Sheng Yan said: "Is it that serious?"

"They are obsessed with their love. You have never been in love, so you don't understand this possessiveness."

“I wouldn’t be like this even when I’m in love,” Sheng Yan said.

"Don't talk big like that, or you'll get slapped in the face." Ning Song reminded him.

You won’t take the slap in the face approach!

Sheng Yan looked at him and reached out to touch his face, but missed as Ning Song dodged it flexibly.

The rehearsal ended at around 6:20. It was the first rehearsal and there were a lot of things going on, so it took longer than expected. Sheng Yan and Ning Songfan didn't even have time to eat because they had to go to Xingyue.

"Isn't it eight o'clock?" Qiao Qiao asked.

"There is employee training today, and Brother Xing asked us to go early." Ning Song said.

After changing clothes, the two of them came out of the rehearsal room. There were students rehearsing in all the rooms. Some had just finished like them, and some had just come to work overtime. There were people in almost every room. The sounds of instruments and singing mixed together. Ning Song suddenly heard a group of people reciting, "From tomorrow on, be a happy person."

Ning Songdu walked over and then stepped back.

Sheng Yan turned around to look at him, and saw a few people gathered at the door of the room next to him. Ning Song stood on tiptoe to look inside, with a very nice smile on his face.

He went over to take a look and saw Li You standing among a group of boys.

With wheat-colored skin and a tall stature, he stands out in the crowd.

He had a blank expression on his face and followed everyone in reciting poetry:

I wish you a bright future.

May your lover be your lifelong partner.

May you find happiness in this world.

I just want to face the sea and see the flowers blooming in spring!"

Li You was a little reluctant and awkward, and Ning Song laughed at him. Li You might have felt his gaze and looked over immediately. He then quickly pulled Sheng Yan away.

He was walking and laughing at the same time.

Sheng Yan smiled: "You are so happy."

Ning Song did not explain. He felt that this was some kind of secret between him and Li You. He shook his head proudly. Seeing him so proud, Sheng Yan reached out and ruffled his slightly curly hair again.

【Author’s words】

I really like this chapter, the gloomy Pu Yu, the sunny Sheng Yan, and the poetic Li You.
