Chapter 15
Yue Qianling and Yin Xue's original plan was to get up, wash up, find a restaurant to eat, go shopping, and take the subway back to school around six or seven o'clock.
What a relaxing and enjoyable first day of the new year.
But reality is always worse than planned.
As it approached twelve o'clock, no one showed any intention of getting up.
In the end, I had takeout for lunch, and my original plan to go shopping turned into playing with my phone in bed.
After dawdling until around four or five in the afternoon, the two of them headed straight back to school.
Students who did not go out for the holiday gathered in restaurants near the school for dinner, so the pedestrian street around the school was particularly lively at this time.
Yin Xue came out of the subway station and saw such a lively scene, but she felt inexplicably sad.
"Alas, the Chinese New Year comes early this year. Winter vacation will start the week after next. It will be the last winter vacation in our lives. In a few months, we will no longer be students. I am so reluctant to let go."
Yue Qianling was originally in a happy mood, but after hearing what Yin Xue said, her mood was affected a little.
"Yeah, where can I live in the city's second ring road center with direct subway access and public transportation for 2,000 yuan a year?"
“…”
Yin Xue's delicate and melancholy mood suddenly disappeared. "You're right. We should start looking for an apartment when we come back next semester."
None of them are from Jiangcheng, and if they want to stay here to work, renting a house is an indispensable step.
However, the two of them work quite far from each other, so it seems difficult for them to continue living together.
While talking about this issue, they walked towards the pedestrian street opposite the school gate.
Over the past year, they have eaten at every restaurant near the school and are familiar with the taste and price of each one.
Perhaps because Luotuo mentioned coriander in the morning, Yue Qianling suddenly wanted to eat coriander beef from a Chinese restaurant, and Yin Xue had no objection, so the two of them went straight into the restaurant.
This store has always been doing good business. When Yue Qianling and Yin Xue walked in, there were only two tables left near the door.
After sitting down, the two of them ordered the dishes without even looking at the menu. After all, the most famous dish of this restaurant is the coriander beef. The two girls didn't have big appetites, so ordering a vegetarian dish and a soup would be enough.
They ordered their dishes familiarly and started playing with their phones.
Yue Qianling was so absorbed in reading Weibo that she didn't notice what was happening around her until the girls at the table behind her started whispering and a familiar name came up in their conversation.
"Hey, look, that's Gu Xun, right?"
Yue Qianling looked up suddenly as if a button was pressed, and saw Gu Xun and a boy walking in together.
Yue Qianling had seen that boy on the basketball court before. He seemed to be Gu Xun's roommate.
As soon as the two of them came in, they sat at the only remaining empty table, at opposite ends. Jiang Junnan faced Yue Qianling, while Gu Xun had his back to her.
The waiter quickly came up with the menu. They didn't look around, their attention was focused on the menu.
Yue Qianling nudged Yin Xue with her elbow calmly.
Yin Xue didn't recognize Gu Xun's back at first, but seeing Yue Qianling's reaction, who else could it be? So she whispered in Yue Qianling's ear: "What a coincidence, why don't you go say hello?"
"This is so awkward, what should I say hello to?"
Yue Qianling thought for a moment, "What a coincidence, you're here to eat too? And then he said, why don't I wash the dishes?"
Yin Xue curled her lips and sighed helplessly.
"Why can't you learn to be as smart and clever as some girls? I see some people can find opportunities to strike up a conversation anytime and anywhere."
Yue Qianling wanted to too.
If she was as capable as others, she wouldn't have missed so many opportunities.
After a while, the food arrived on Yue Qianling's table. The waiter brought two servings of coriander beef on a tray.
After placing one portion on their table, he took another one to Gu Xun.
Yue Qianling's attention has always been on them.
She saw Jiang Junnan frown at the coriander and push it towards Gu Xun.
Gu Xun picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
Yue Qianling couldn't see his expression from this angle, she only saw him taking one bite after another, and he seemed to like it very much.
Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but imagine many scenes, and felt a little proud, and couldn't help but share them.
So she whispered to Yin Xue again: "See, Gu Xun also likes coriander beef. Our tastes are quite compatible. At least we won't have any disagreements over food in the future."
“…”
Yin Xue put down her phone and glanced at her coldly, "Just because you see others eating the same dish, you are thinking about whether there will be any disagreements in the future. Does that mean that if someone invites you to dinner, you will start to consider where to buy a school district house in the future?"
Yin Xue, the sober person in the world.
Yue Qianling was speechless, Yin Xue patted her head, "My dear, don't let your imagination run wild. Instead of wasting your time, you might as well think about how to add her on WeChat first."
Yue Qianling stared at Gu Xun's back, her palms slightly sweaty.
That’s right. The last time they went back to school together, she missed a great opportunity because she was too nervous. Now that they met again today, she should give it a try.
Seeing that Gu Xun had already eaten several mouthfuls of coriander beef, Jiang Junnan couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and asked him, "Don't you not eat coriander? What's wrong with you today?"
"Why not give it a try?"
Gu Xun said this and took another bite.
"Of course, but do you have to?"
Jiang Junnan crossed his arms, looked at Gu Xun for a long while, then touched his chin, thought for a long time, and asked, "Do you have an incurable disease? Is coriander some kind of folk remedy?"
“…”
Sometimes Gu Xun really couldn’t understand why someone like Jiang Junnan would have a girlfriend.
He lost his appetite after being stared at, and looked at Jiang Junnan with dissatisfaction, saying, "I'm eating coriander, not poison. Can you please stop looking at me like that?"
"If there was a mirror, I would really like you to look at your expression when you eat coriander."
Jiang Junnan pushed another dish in front of Gu Xun and said earnestly, "You're about to vomit, so just don't eat it, okay? Brother, believe in modern medicine, don't believe in folk remedies, and let yourself go."
Gu Xun now had neither appetite nor mood.
Besides——
Cilantro tastes really gross.
He put down his chopsticks and picked up the kettle beside him to pour himself some water.
Jiang Junnan also doesn't eat coriander. There was only one other vegetarian dish on the table at the moment. He was looking forward to eating spare ribs, so he kept looking into the kitchen.
When he looked up, he saw Yue Qianling.
"Hey." He stretched out his leg and kicked Gu Xun, whispering, "Yue Qianling is here."
Gu Xun was drinking water and didn't hear clearly what he said. After he swallowed it, he said "Hmm?"
Jiang Junnan thought he didn't know Yue Qianling at all.
"Yue Qianling, you're from the Academy of Fine Arts, you don't even know this?"
Seeing that Gu Xun didn't say anything, he continued, "I moved here from Jiangbin Campus in my junior year. Like you, I'm a regular on our school's confession wall Weibo. Didn't we chat often in our dormitory before?"
Gu Xun put down the cup and looked back.
Yue Qianling was originally stealing glances, but was caught off guard when she met Gu Xun's gaze returning to her. She was immediately flustered and turned her head away, pretending to look at the scenery.
Seeing her like this, Yin Xue immediately pinched her thigh.
Yue Qianling shuddered all over and reacted. So she looked around and then turned her head stiffly, meeting Gu Xun's gaze again. She nodded at him stiffly as a greeting.
In fact, Gu Xun just heard what Jiang Junnan said, and his subconscious drove him to turn his head back.
Unexpectedly, she was actually there and greeted him.
Gu Xun had no choice but to nod as a response.
Turning back, Jiang Junnan asked in surprise: "Do you know each other?"
Gu Xun: “Yeah.”
Jiang Junnan: "When did you meet? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"
"My mom and her mom were classmates and we had dinner together once before."
Gu Xun briefly explained his relationship with Yue Qianling. Just as the waiter brought other dishes, he lowered his head and continued eating.
Jiang Junnan didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The topics of night conversation in the boys' dormitory are games, football, basketball and beautiful women.
Especially during the period when the people from the Academy of Fine Arts had just moved here from the Binjiang Campus, people in the dormitory would talk about Yue Qianling almost every two or three days.
Gu Xun never interrupted, so Jiang Junnan always thought that he didn't know this person at all.
The result is not only knowing, but also recognizing.
The more Jiang Junnan thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed to him, and he couldn't help but steal a glance at Yue Qianling.
A few minutes later.
Jiang Junnan suddenly whispered, "Gu Xun, I want to tell you something, but you have to promise me first that you won't look back."
Gu Xun raised his eyebrows, "What is so mysterious?"
"I think..."
Jiang Junnan licked his lips and lowered his voice, "I think Yue Qianling likes you because she has glanced at you several times in the past few minutes."
“…”
Gu Xun's action of picking up the food paused for a moment. He curled the corners of his mouth, turned the direction of his chopsticks, and picked up a piece of coriander beef.
Jiang Junnan thought he didn't believe it, so he added, "Believe me, my intuition is absolutely right. The look in her eyes definitely shows that she likes you."
"Yeah." Gu Xun replied casually, "I see."
knew.
Just, get it? ? ?
Jiang Junnan couldn't believe what he heard.
"You just knew it with one sentence? Brother? That's Yue Qianling!"
Gu Xun raised his eyes and said nothing, but the expression on his face clearly expressed his meaning.
What else?
In fact, he had already had this feeling a while ago.
From the second time they met, he noticed that Yue Qianling always looked at him in an unnatural way, and she even didn't dare to look him directly in the eye.
But she often sneaked glances at him from out of his sight.
The frequency was so high that even Gu Xun himself accidentally discovered it a few times.
Including the few times they met later, she was always shy and couldn't even speak clearly.
Some things may not need to be stated explicitly, but Gu Xun knows it in his mind.
But today even Jiang Junnan saw it, so Gu Xun was even more certain about it.
but,
So what?
"You have a girlfriend, what are you so excited about?"
Gu Xun asked.
If it weren't for the fact that Yue Qianling was not far away from them, Jiang Junnan would have slammed the table.
"I'm so excited for you! Why don't you have any reaction?"
"I'm not familiar with her, and," Gu Xun paused for a moment, raised his eyelids, and said lightly, "I'm not obsessed with looks."
"Stop talking nonsense. You are just obsessed with looks. There are no men who are not obsessed with looks."
Jiang Junnan didn't believe a word of it. He thought Gu Xun was just showing off. "If you ever bring back a girl who looks average, I'll chop off her head and serve it to you as a side dish."
Gu Xun suddenly fell silent. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and his thoughts suddenly became a little scattered.
A vague but vivid face began to form in his mind.
After a while, he said as if talking to himself: "Maybe he is not bad looking."
Jiang Junnan: "What?"
"nothing."
Boys always eat faster.
They arrived at the restaurant at almost the same time. Yue Qianling and Yin Xue had only eaten halfway when Gu Xun and his table had already finished eating.
Jiang Junnan received a phone call and walked out first, leaving Gu Xun here to pay the bill.
Yin Xue saw the opportunity and tugged at Gu Xun's sleeve.
"While he is alone now, go find him and ask for his WeChat ID."
"Now?" Yue Qianling looked around in panic, "There are so many people here!"
"It's just that there are so many people that it's hard for him to refuse you!"
"What should I say then?"
Yin Xue sighed in frustration, "Just say it, just say it..."
But Yin Xue had no experience in pursuing boys, and she was stuck for a long time and couldn't think of what to say.
Until Gu Xun stood up and walked out, Yin Xue became anxious for Yue Qianling. She glanced around and suddenly saw a school card on the floor in the aisle.
"Here's the chance!" Yin Xue quickly pointed at the school card on the ground and said, "He lost his school card! You should send it to him and add WeChat at the same time. Isn't that a natural thing to do?!"
At this time, Yue Qianling was also a little anxious. After hearing what Yin Xue said, he suddenly thought it made sense, so he immediately picked up the school card and chased after him.
Gu Xun and Jiang Junnan had not gone far.
Yue Qianling clutched the school card and trotted a few steps to catch up with them.
"Gu Xun!"
Hearing the shout, Gu Xun and Jiang Junnan turned around at the same time.
Seeing that it was Yue Qianling, Jiang Junnan coughed artificially and whispered teasingly: "See, I was right, right? Now I'm catching up."
Gu Xun glanced at him coldly, and Jiang Junnan immediately put away his teasing expression.
But when Gu Xun looked at Yue Qianling again, his expression did not ease at all.
But Yue Qianling didn't think much about it.
Because she didn't seem to have seen any other expression on his face.
Even if there is, it looks even more stinky.
She took small steps over, tilted her head slightly, handed him the card, and said softly, "Your school card just fell to the ground, luckily you didn't walk far."
Hearing this, Jiang Junnan raised his eyebrows in surprise, thought for a moment, and then could not hide the teasing smile on the corner of his mouth.
In order to stifle his laughter, he put his hand to his mouth and turned his head away.
Gu Xun lowered his eyes and looked at the school card in Yue Qianling's hand. He felt so overwhelmed with emotions that he couldn't express, so he just curled the corners of his mouth.
"mine?"
Yue Qianling blinked, but before she could react to what he meant, she heard a breathless voice behind her shouting, "Classmate!"
Then, a boy wearing glasses ran up to Yue Qianling.
When I saw the school card in her hand, I felt relieved.
"Oh, I finally caught up with you, thank you."
"……?"
Yue Qianling glanced at the boy, then looked at the school card in her hand.
Name: Wan Xiaopeng.
At that moment, countless sparks flashed through Yue Qianling's mind.
She seemed to understand something, but still asked persistently, "Yours?"
The boy nodded, looked at the card in Yue Qianling's hand, and said, "Yes, thank you, thank you. I accidentally dropped it on the ground when I was eating just now."
Seeing Yue Qianling was stunned and had no intention of returning the card, the boy added: "Luckily you picked it up, otherwise it would be troublesome to apply for a new school card at this time."
“………………”
How to say it.
If killing was not illegal, Yue Qianling would have already picked up a knife to chop Yin Xue.
She just couldn't understand why the most embarrassing moments in her life always happened in front of Gu Xun.
Oh, Gu Xun.
She didn't dare to go to see Gu Xun at all now.
Just by feeling his gaze falling on her head, Yue Qianling was about to suffocate to death.
But now she has to maintain her image.
"You're welcome." She forced a smile, "Be more careful next time."
The boy nodded shyly, took the school card, but did not leave.
"Thank you." He cleared his throat, looked at Yue Qianling shyly, and said, "Then... can you add WeChat?"
Fuck.
Oh fuck fuck.
Why does the peach blossom have to come at this time? Why does it come at any other time? !
Yue Qianling was usually quite capable of handling this situation, but now in front of Gu Xun, she inexplicably felt a burning sensation on her face.
For some reason, she felt embarrassed and awkward when a strange boy approached her in front of Gu Xun, and she was afraid that if she didn't handle the situation well, Gu Xun would misunderstand her.
Her face flushed, she pursed her lips, glanced at Gu Xun, then quickly looked away and whispered, "No, it's not very convenient..."
The boy was immediately embarrassed.
It was not only because Yue Qianling rejected him, but also because of the look she just gave Gu Xun.
The boy clearly felt that Gu Xun's face looked very bad, even a little impatient, and Jiang Junnan next to him also seemed embarrassed.
He seemed to understand something.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He apologized quickly, "I didn't know you had a boyfriend!"
Then he immediately turned to Gu Xun and said, "I'm so sorry."
Yue Qianling: “……?”
She looked at Gu Xun in confusion.
The boy also looked at Gu Xun awkwardly.
Under the gaze of the two, Gu Xun turned his head and looked at Jiang Junnan without changing his expression.
"You?"
Jiang Junnan: "What?"
Gu Xun: "When did you change your girlfriend?"
Jiang Junnan: “…Ah?”
