Great Adventure
"Boss, I can't see clearly any of the photos you just sent me on WeChat. Did you send the wrong file?" Song Yu hurriedly pushed open the door of the film store.
Just half an hour ago, she received the electronic photos of the roll of film, but what was surprising was that every photo in the folder sent by the boss was unclear and completely blurry. When she received the photos, she happened to be not far from the film store, so she simply went directly to the store to ask.
The boss was a very young man. He was very enthusiastic when he saw someone coming and greeted them to look at the products in the store. However, when he heard Song Yu's question, he immediately sat back and rummaged through something in the back for a while. Without looking up, he said, "I just told you on WeChat that your roll of film is too old, and this is what it looks like when it's developed. If you don't believe me, here's the negative. You can take it to another store to have it developed and see if the effect is the same."
After saying that, he gave Song Yu a wrapped transparent plastic bag, which contained a long strip of brown film.
The result was already like this, and Song Yu had nothing more to say. It was indeed that the film had been stored for too long, and it was no wonder that the store developed and scanned it so blurry.
She walked out of the store with the bag in her hand, feeling not very happy. This way, she had lost her last chance to find 305.
[Lan Lin: How is it? How is it? Are the photos out? Is your Bai Yueguang handsome?]
After receiving the documents from the store, Song Yu cried to Lan Lin to calm down. She glanced at the film still in her hand, took a photo with her phone and sent it over. [The photos came out, but none of them were clear. The store owner said it was a problem with the film itself. He gave me the film and told me to try another store if I didn't believe him.]
Lan Lin: Why is that? It's okay. There are plenty of film processing shops. You can try a few more. Maybe his skills aren't up to par.
Even after receiving comfort, Song Yu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. "Do you think I shouldn't have been looking for her at all? It's been so long, maybe people have already forgotten who I am, and I'm still looking for her like a fool?"
Seeing this, Lan Lin called her directly and said, "If you don't want to look for it, just throw this roll of film into the trash can next to you."
"......" Song Yu doubted her ears. She took the phone away and took a look. "What did you say?"
"Look, judging by your reaction, I think you should just accept your fate and find a better place to do it again." Lan Lin slurred his words while eating. "Maybe the technology in the place you're looking for now is just not good enough. Anyway, you can't bear to leave, so it would be a shame to just give up."
"I found one online that has great reviews. Can I send you the link?"
Lan Lin's words and actions were simple and rough, but they were very effective on Song Yu. "Send it to me."
"By the way, you haven't forgotten my birthday in a few days, right? Have you prepared the gift for me? Is it something I like?" Lan Lin suddenly changed the subject and chuckled twice on the other end of the phone.
Song Yu was tired of standing, so he simply bent down and sat on the stone block next to him, holding up his phone to chat with Lan Lin, "Of course I'm ready, it must be something you like, don't worry."
"By the way, Rao Xin's store has finally reopened after so long of renovations. I plan to spend my birthday there."
"Sure." If Lan Lin hadn't mentioned it, Song Yu would have almost forgotten about this person. Ever since Rao Xin's store had problems, they had been busy and hadn't seen each other much.
"Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."
"Hey, wait a minute." Lan Lin's voice was filled with hesitation. "...I might need your help with something."
"What's the matter?" Song Yu became alert when he heard her tone.
"That's right. Can you please invite Xu Qiao over for my birthday?" Before Song Yu could speak, Lan Lin spoke first, "Yes, that's right. I know you've been avoiding him recently, but he's so handsome. I wanted to invite him over to make things more special. I asked him myself, and he said he wasn't familiar with the others, but he... should be familiar with you, right?"
"No." Song Yu refused bluntly, "You're not familiar with me anymore."
"Isn't he your tutor? You're his employer." Lan Lin begged softly, "Please, please, Miss Song."
Song Yu was stern and unselfish. "No, it's okay."
In the end, Lan Lin really had no choice but to give up, knowing that he couldn't persuade her.
She clicked on the link Lan Lin sent her. It was a Taobao link. She added the store's chat method through the homepage and told the store about her situation. After receiving a reply that she could give it a try, she immediately called a courier to send the bag away.
The once popular internet celebrity bar reopened after renovation. Rao Xin and his team did a great job in marketing. The news of the reopening was all over the social software. Even though Song Yu didn't pay attention, he was pushed to it once or twice.
As expected, there was a long queue at the door of the bar. Today was Lan Lin's birthday, and they had informed Rao Xin early on to ask him to reserve a large private room for them. Rao Xin was also very loyal, and when he heard that Lan Lin was going to celebrate his birthday in his shop, he gave them a 50% discount on all drinks.
As Lan Lin walked into the box, she screamed in surprise. She saw balloons and ribbons covering the walls, and the table was decorated with colorful things. There was even a big bouquet of bright red roses and a beautiful cake on the table. It must be said that although Rao Xin was often slapped by girls, he was still quite romantic.
At this time, there were already two or three people besides them. Lan Lin was smiling happily as he received the birthday gifts and took photos holding each gift box.
She had given Lan Lin her gift as soon as they met today. It was a pair of bracelets that she had been talking about. She had ordered them several months in advance. When Lan Lin saw them, he kissed her twice excitedly on the spot. She wiped it off with the back of her hand indifferently, then sat in the corner with her legs crossed, playing with her phone, with the obvious lip prints on her face.
Someone came over and touched her legs, "Move your legs." Then he sat down next to Song Yu, looked at her twice and said with a teasing look on his face, "Song Yu, you've been having a lot of fun all day. Where did the marks on your face come from? Did a man kiss you?"
The person who came was a classmate from their department named Wang Ya. She was a straightforward person who spoke without much scruples, and she was full of jokes. Song Yu was quite familiar with her, so he didn't retort. Instead, he smiled and gestured to Lan Lin, "You want one too? Go to her side and line up so she can kiss you too."
Then he took a picture of his face with his phone and asked, "Is it obvious? I just wiped it off."
Wang Ya wiped her face with her hand but failed to wipe it off. "What kind of lipstick is she using? It doesn't even come off. I'll ask her for a link later." After saying that, she went straight to Lan Lin's position.
He wiped it on his face a few times with his hands, and sure enough, it didn't come off. Song Yu searched all over the table for a wet wipe, but after searching for a long time without any success, he simply gave up. Anyway, the light was so dim that few people could see it.
"Excuse me." A voice sounded above her head. Song Yu looked at her phone and subconsciously tightened her legs. After a while, she felt the sofa sink and someone sat next to her.
Is this a golden throne? Why does everyone want to sit next to her? She tilted her head, her vision dimming. She glanced but couldn't see who it was. Her heart resonated with the music in the bar, beating a little fast.
There were a few soft noises nearby. Song Yu was staring at his phone and didn't notice the noises. After a while, a snow-white tissue was handed to him from the right.
Song Yu was stunned for two seconds and touched his face, then said: "Thank you, but no, this can't be wiped off with just paper."
The low voice next to me lingered in my ears, making me feel a little itchy. "You'd better wipe it off. A lot of people are watching you."
She immediately stood up, avoiding the tissue, "Thank you, I'll just go to the bathroom and take care of it."
In order to conform to the overall fashionable and beautiful style, even the bathroom here is decorated very gorgeously. The crooked but design-conscious mirrors with faint white light on the edges are attached to the wall. Combined with the colorful lights above, everything looks so bizarre.
Song Yu stood in front of the mirror and checked her face. There were indeed some marks. She had wiped them with water but they didn't come off. Song Yu's skin was red. She complained in her heart, "Did Lan Lin choose such a waterproof and rubbing-resistant lipstick because he was planning to kiss the handsome guy tonight?"
She struggled in front of the mirror for five minutes and finally gave up. Let people see, she was thick-skinned anyway. She took a deep breath, turned off the water but couldn't find the tissue. She might as well have taken the tissue just now. She didn't know what she was afraid of. Thinking of this, the courage she had just built up was deflated again. She slapped her face hard and cheered herself up.
Just as she was about to leave, Lan Lin walked in. Seeing that she looked a little dazed, he said, "We've been looking for you for a long time. You're here! They were just looking for you."
Song Yu grabbed her hand and pointed at his face, "Do you have makeup remover? Look at what you've done. It can't be wiped off."
Lan Lin pointed at her and smiled for a long time, "I have makeup remover wipes in my bag, I'll give them to you." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go back to the box to get them for her.
"Wait a moment." Song Yu pulled her hand and pressed, "I'm asking you, didn't Xu Qiao say he couldn't come? Why did he suddenly come again?" Thinking of how stupidly stiff she was after seeing his face clearly just now, Song Yu wanted to slap herself to death.
Lan Lin said as if it was a matter of course, "I'm coming."
“…”
Seeing Song Yu's speechless look, Lan Lin patted her shoulder and said, "Relax, you don't allow others to socialize, and you don't allow others to be present in your presence. Don't be so stingy as a little girl."
"..." It was so well said that she had no way to refute it. "Okay, I can't argue with you."
"What are you thinking right now?" Lan Lin was surprised. "Why do you feel like you want to see me and yet you don't want to see me?"
"Do I?"
Lan Lin nodded seriously, "It's obvious."
She turned her head and looked at herself in the mirror, her thoughts were very complicated. In that dream, 305 looked exactly like Xu Qiao, and she felt a little panic for no reason.
Song Yu felt very scared that she couldn't tell the difference, so she could only stay away from Xu Qiao while looking for 305. Once she met 305 in person, she should be able to tell the difference, right?
Song Yu sighed, "Forget it, let's go back. You are the birthday boy today, you shouldn't be standing here listening to my nonsense."
"It's okay." Lan Lin opened her big eyes. "I love listening to your gossip, especially your own gossip."
"......" Song Yu pushed her out, "Go away."
The two men walked to the door of the box. The atmosphere inside seemed to be a little heated and strange shouts were heard one after another.
Song Yu pushed the door open without thinking too much. The first thing she saw was the glass bottle spinning on the table in the private room. She watched helplessly as the glass bottle swayed and stopped in her direction. "?"
The people in the box also saw Song Yu in the direction pointed by the glass bottle, and immediately there was a lot of noisy shouting, "Song Yu, did you lose the truth or dare game?"
"What? I didn't even participate." Song Yu was confused.
“…” Opposite me was a room full of people with piercing eyes.
"Okay, okay." What bad luck! Song Yu sighed in her heart, "I choose... truth or dare." Her eyes half-skimmed across the corner like a dragonfly on the water, and then she immediately changed her words, "No, it's still dare or dare."
"Hey, you can't change it like this." Someone immediately raised an objection.
She was of course very confident, "Well, I haven't officially participated yet. If you don't allow changes, then this round will be invalid and we'll have to start over."
On the other side, the boy in charge of arranging the punishment spoke up to stop them, his voice filled with indescribable excitement. He held up the punishment card he had just drawn, "Alright, alright, let's have a dare."
After that, he shook the card in his hand mysteriously and read out loud, "Please pick a person of the opposite sex here and kiss for 10 seconds."
