Chapter 22
Half an hour ago.
Yin Xue opened the school's second-hand trading group and saw someone selling a brand new pair of BOSS noise-cancelling headphones. The pink appearance was very cute, so she immediately sent a private message to that person. After agreeing on the price, the two of them met in the library to trade in person.
When Yin Xue got there, she found that the person looked familiar.
Isn’t that Gu Xun’s roommate?
Jiang Junnan came over and found Yin Xue familiar, so he asked directly, "I think we've met before. Are you Yue Qianling's friend?"
Yin Xue nodded and looked him over. Seeing that he was a tall man of about 1.8 meters, he didn't look like someone who would use pink headphones, so she asked, "Are these headphones yours?"
Jiang Junnan touched the back of his head helplessly, his eyes looking a little unnatural, "Of course it's not mine. How can a grown man like me use something like this?"
Seeing the doubt in Yin Xue's eyes, Jiang Junnan was afraid that she would think that his gift was not legitimate, so he immediately explained: "This was a gift I bought for my ex-girlfriend, but we broke up before I gave it to her. This is absolutely authentic, I brought the receipt, and I can show you the purchase record."
“Oh…I see…”
Yin Xue glanced at the shopping records and muttered, "It's a pity to break up after buying the gifts."
Jiang Junnan felt that if he continued talking, Yin Xue might guess that he was dumped, which would be embarrassing, so he said jokingly: "Hey, I'm just trying to fit in with the single atmosphere in our dormitory. Otherwise, I'd be the only one showing off my affection every day, which would be so out of place."
Yin Xue was about to take out her phone to pay, but when she heard what he said, she suddenly grasped the key point.
"Are all the people in your dormitory single?"
Jiang Junnan laughed, "Is this surprising? Our college is a famous college for monks. Even the school hunk can't find a girlfriend."
"Ah?" Yin Xue thought for a moment and asked, "Doesn't that Gu Xun in your dormitory have a girlfriend?"
"He has a shitty girlfriend!" Jiang Junnan said, "Which idiot spread this rumor?"
Yin Xue was also confused, "He said it himself, someone heard it."
Jiang Junnan paused for a moment, and suddenly figured out the key points. "Oh, this is his old trick to reject people. I see him use this trick at least ten times a year. It's a fatal blow, and it will never cause any trouble again."
Yin Xue half opened her mouth, figured out the truth of the matter, and let out an "ah" with a trailing syllable.
“So that’s how it is.”
Jiang Junnan suddenly tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "Are you asking this for Yue Qianling?"
"What?!"
Yin Xue suddenly shuddered, "No, I just asked casually."
Jiang Junnan smiled and said meaningfully, "Okay, he just made up his own rumor anyway, he doesn't have a girlfriend at all."
On the way back, Yin Xue thought more and more that it was ridiculous that Yue Qianling had been depressed for several months because of such a rumor.
So when she described today's experience vividly to Yue Qianling, she was stunned for a long time.
So, Gu Xun said that he had a girlfriend in order to reject the girl in the elevator at that time?
Yue Qianling began to recall the scene at that time. Every word of Gu Xun seemed to fit perfectly with this purpose.
The joy grew little by little in her heart.
Until it rolled and bubbled in her chest like boiling sugar water.
Yue Qianling, who had been lifeless at first, suddenly rolled over on the bed, covered her face with a pillow, and laughed muffledly.
In fact, Gu Xun must have noticed that she liked him, such as that time at Christmas.
But he didn't use such an excuse to reject her. What does this mean?
This means he definitely has a crush on her.
At this moment, she couldn't remember at all the cold look Gu Xun gave her. She just couldn't help but use these tiny things that seemed to have traces to follow to do her reading comprehension.
After a while, Yue Qianling looked at the ceiling and laughed again.
Thinking about how Gu Xun helped her block the drinking and confronted the supervisor tonight, she became more certain of this idea.
The emotions that had been suppressed for several months underwent a drastic change on this day because of the breaking of a rumor.
It has been a long time since she felt such pure happiness. Yue Qianling couldn't control the smile on her lips. She couldn't hide her joy at all. She wanted to find someone to share it with, but unfortunately Yin Xue was too far away from her.
Huang Jie, who shared a standard room with Yue Qianling, came out of the bathroom and saw Yue Qianling smiling foolishly on the bed. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you drink a lot tonight?"
Yue Qianling turned her head and looked at her, without saying anything, just smiling, with a slight blush on her face.
He looks quite drunk.
Huang Jie took out a small bottle from her bag and handed it to Yue Qianling.
"Fortunately, I was prepared. I knew that this kind of activity would involve drinking, so I prepared some hangover medicine."
Yue Qianling stared at the hangover medicine in her hand, suddenly thought of something, sat up abruptly and took the bottle of medicine.
"Lend it to me!"
After saying that, she ran out with the medicine.
She had just taken two steps out of the door when she turned back and walked to the bathroom mirror.
Tsk, all the makeup is ruined.
Yue Qianling quickly took out her makeup bag from her luggage and sat down at the table to touch up her makeup carefully.
"Why are you putting on makeup?"
Huang Jie looked at her actions and couldn't help asking, "Is there any other activity I don't know about?"
"No."
Yue Qianling put on some foundation and said with a smile, "I'm going to go out and find someone."
Huang Jie walked up to her and saw how serious she was. She smiled and said, "You don't look like you're looking for a person. You look like you're looking for a duck."
Yue Qianling: “…”
She ignored Huang Jie, pursed her lips, applied the lipstick evenly, turned around and asked, "Does this color look good?"
"She looks good." Huang Jie glanced at her perfunctorily and asked, "What are you doing? A blind date?"
Yue Qianling didn't know how to explain, so she stammered, "The environment here is so good, I'm going to take some photos later."
After saying that, she went back to looking through the clothes she had brought.
But after looking around, there were only hoodies, jeans and some solid color short-sleeved shirts.
When she was packing her luggage yesterday, she thought that she couldn't go out in front of Gu Xun who had a girlfriend, so she chose simple and comfortable clothes.
Now it seems a bit too plain.
So Yue Qianling turned his attention to Huang Jie.
"Can you lend me some clothes?"
Twenty minutes later, Yue Qianling changed into the short-sleeved white dress brought by Huang Jie, took a bottle of hangover medicine, and left the room.
The company booked dozens of standard rooms for this team-building event. The administrative staff distributed room arrangements to each department, and Yue Qianling found Gu Xun's room number on it.
The hotel corridor was long and quiet, with only one or two doors occasionally open and unclear voices coming from them.
Yue Qianling was wearing flat shoes, her skirt was fluttering, and the carpet was soft and dense. She felt like she was walking on clouds.
A colleague came out of the room halfway through and happened to meet Yue Qianling. His eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Oh, I haven't seen you wearing a skirt for a long time. It's pure white. You look like a fairy."
Yue Qianling blinked at her and said with a smile: "Please remove the word 'like'."
The colleague smiled and patted her shoulders twice, then turned around and went to look for the elevator.
Walking to the door of 1024, Yue Qianling straightened her hair and rang the doorbell.
It was Yi Hong who came to open the door. He was a little surprised when he saw Yue Qianling standing at the door through his drunken eyes.
"What's the matter?"
Yue Qianling glanced into the room inconspicuously.
There was no light on the balcony, only a few bedside spotlights in the room emitted a faint glow.
He was standing there answering the phone, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt. Because of the glass door, his back blended into the night, but his long legs were particularly eye-catching.
"I'm looking for Gu Xun."
Yue Qianling retracted his gaze and spoke softly.
Yi Hong was not surprised at all. After all, Yue Qianling was the second person to come to see him tonight.
He turned around and shouted, "Gu Xun, Yue Qianling is here to see you!"
Gu Xun turned around and looked through the glass door. Under the bright light, Yue Qianling's slender figure was a little blurry.
He glanced at her briefly, and the tone of the female voice on the phone suddenly changed, "Did I hear correctly? Yue Qianling? Isn't that your Aunt Ju's daughter?"
Without waiting for Gu Xun to answer, Gu Pingyun asked again: "You are still together so late?"
She was clearly arguing strongly just now, but when she heard Yue Qianling's name, her attention suddenly turned.
Gu Xun sighed, "It's just a company team building. I have something else to do, so I won't talk about it for now."
He hung up the phone, opened the balcony door, and walked towards Yue Qianling.
At the same time, Yi Hong turned around and went back to his room. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He turned his back to Yue Qianling and gave Gu Xun a teasing look.
Gu Xun ignored his gaze and walked straight towards Yue Qianling.
"What's up?"
Yue Qianling handed Huang Jie's hangover medicine to him and said, "Well, my colleague brought some hangover medicine. I saw that you seemed to drink a lot tonight, so I brought some to you."
In fact, Gu Xun was fine and didn't feel much, but Yi Hong was indeed a little drunk. He had just sung from Fish Leong to Tu Honggang, and even said that he wanted to hold a bathroom concert, which was a sign of him becoming unconscious.
So he took the medicine and said, "Thank you."
Yue Qianling lowered his hands and opened his mouth. After a moment, he hesitated and said, "Um...thank you for what happened today. I don't know if the supervisor will make things difficult for you."
Gu Xun heard this and wanted to say something, but he found that the colleagues passing by in the corridor were looking at the two of them, so he finally held back what he wanted to say, just touched his teeth with the tip of his tongue and said nonchalantly: "You don't have to take it to heart."
The corners of Yue Qianling's mouth curled up.
She didn't know that even if it wasn't her today, Gu Xun would have done the same if it was anyone he didn't know.
But before he could utter this sentence, loud singing suddenly came from behind him.
"The river flows eastward! The stars in the sky are the Big Dipper! Hey! Hey! The Big Dipper! A bowl of wine for a friend of life and death!"
“…”
“…”
Gu Xun looked back and suddenly laughed.
When Youyou turned back, she met Yue Qianling's smiling eyes.
When their eyes met, the curve of Gu Xun's mouth had not yet faded.
At that moment, Yue Qianling felt that the lights around her suddenly became brighter. Her eyes flashed and she could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
"The medicine you sent was quite timely."
"Well, you should rest early. Good night."
Although it was already late, many people were still in high spirits and went to the back mountain in groups of three or four to soak in the hot springs.
When Yue Qianling returned to the room, Huang Jie was changing into her swimsuit.
"Want to go to the hot springs?"
"I'm not going."
Yue Qianling shook her head, "I always feel like my period is coming."
"That's fine."
Huang Jie put on a bathrobe and took a towel and hurried out.
The room fell silent. Yue Qianling picked up her phone and saw that Xiaomai had sent many messages in the group.
[Xiaomi]: No chicken party tonight?
【Xiaomi】: Where are the people? Have you all gone to the festival?
【Wheat】: @Camel@School Grass@Glutinous Rice Small Mahua
[Xiaomi]: No way, am I the only one spending the holidays alone in the dormitory?
[Camel]: Here I come!
She thought about it and decided to play games for a while since Huang Jie would not be back for a while.
【Glutinous rice fried dough twist】: Here we come
[Xiaomi]: @School Prince’s sedan chair has been carried to your doorstep!
A few minutes passed.
【School Prince】: Top number.
Yue Qianling played very well in today's game, and even gave Xiaomai several kills to the AI.
"Oh my, you actually got killed." The camel said sarcastically, "Did the sun rise from the west? Or have you been possessed by a spirit?"
"Isn't this the basic operation of a person with a KD of more than 7 points?"
As they were talking, they encountered a lone wolf. Yue Qianling beat him to a pulp and stopped shooting. "Come on, Camel, come and get the head."
Camel smiled and went up to fire two more shots. While licking the food, he asked, "You seem to be in a good mood today. What good thing happened?"
Yue Qianling: "How do you know I'm in a good mood?"
camel:"……"
The two chatted for a while, and Luotuo suddenly said, "By the way, I haven't heard you mention your sweetheart for a long time. How is it going?"
Yue Qianling raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Seeing a six-fold mirror on the ground, he said, "Here is a six-fold mirror. Lin Xun, would you like to take it?"
"Mark it."
This is the third sentence he has said since entering the game, except for "Help me find a gun" and "Here is an M24".
After Yue Qianling finished marking, he sighed deeply, "How should I put it? I just feel that I have great hope now."
"oh?"
The camel coughed, "Why, you are walking very close now?"
"You could say that."
She smiled and said, "Hey Camel, let me ask you, if a boy is usually indifferent but protects you at critical moments, does this mean that he has a good impression of you?"
"Um……"
Camel, who usually responds quickly, was silent for a long time for some reason before he said, "Maybe. Is this boy usually very introverted?"
"Yes."
Yue Qianling said, "He is very introverted and doesn't like to talk."
The camel was silent again.
This fucking sounds like it really is the case.
It's over.
Brother, danger.
After a moment, the camel said, "Well, maybe that's the case."
"But..."
Yue Qianling turned over and lay on the bed to support her upper body, "Oh, forget it."
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, the camel was actually curious, "What's wrong, tell me?"
Yue Qianling was still thinking about how to organize her words when she heard Lin Xun, who had not participated in their conversation, suddenly speak.
"If you like it, go ahead and confess. What's the point of you telling us here?"
Confession?
Yue Qianling began to picture that scene in her mind.
no.
She didn't dare.
Seeing her silence, the camel jokingly asked, "Why, you don't dare?"
"What dare you?"
Yue Qianling chased a human robot and said, "Young people today only know how to attract and seduce."
She paused and said with disdain: "As for confession, that's old stuff from hundreds of years ago."
Lin Xun's sneer came from the headset, with a hint of contempt.
"Advanced mathematics is also an old thing from hundreds of years ago. Do you know it?"
