Xiang Ling's heart was beating very fast. For a moment, he couldn't even tell whether he was going crazy because he had drunk too much and was paralyzed by alcohol, or because the person in front of him was enough to make him intoxicated.
As the two of them looked at each other, Ji Qiulin tacitly agreed to the third wish.
Everyone returned to their original seats. Xiang Ling and Su Luyang sat down one after the other, watching quietly as Jiang Yuanhai held Ji Qiulin's hand and cut the cake piece by piece.
Jiang Yuanhai is tall and stands behind Ji Qiulin and hugs him. The two of them exchange joyful and happy expressions from time to time, which looks very warm no matter how you look at it.
After seeing such a scene, people will inevitably have a little bit of longing or sensitivity in their hearts, and Xiang Ling is no exception.
He turned his head to glance at Su Luyang, but he didn't know that Su Luyang was sitting behind him and looking at him.
Without warning, their eyes met again.
Su Luyang was stunned for a moment, then came over and asked Xiang Ling, "What's wrong?"
Xiang Ling shook his head. He didn't know what the relationship between him and Su Luyang was now. They held hands and kissed each other, but neither of them said anything.
But this is also good, Xiang Ling thought. He needs more time to sort himself out, and even more time to see whether Su Luyang is suitable for him. What if in the future he——
"Xiao Ling." Su Luyang suddenly said, "I have something to tell you. Can we talk alone later?"
Xiang Ling: “…”
"What... do you want to say?" Xiang Ling swallowed his saliva. He felt his legs and feet becoming uncontrollably weak.
"What do you mean?" Su Luyang chuckled twice and said meaningfully, "You know what you did in the cinema before."
Xiang Ling: “???”
Xiang Ling sobered up immediately.
"You!" Xiang Ling was shocked. "Wow, you are so shameless! It was you who came to hold my hand!"
Su Luyang was calm and composed: "Who told you to seduce me first and why didn't you reject me?"
Xiang Ling gritted his teeth. Under normal circumstances, he would have definitely gone back, but now he had something on his mind, and the words on his lips turned into a subconscious rejection: "Bah, shameless, talk about bullshit, no talk!"
"What are you talking about?" Ji Qiulin handed over a piece of cake. He looked at Xiang Ling and then at Su Luyang, "Just stop arguing."
"Whoever wants to argue with him is shameless." Xiang Ling felt embarrassed and angry.
Su Luyang just smiled and didn't refute.
"Okay, okay, eat the cake quickly. We still have to go sing after we finish here." Ji Qiulin brought another piece of cake and gave one to each of them.
After this incident, the two of them never found a suitable opportunity to chat alone, and Su Luyang also felt that Xiang Ling was avoiding him from his seemingly joking rejections just now.
So the matter ended there.
After the birthday party, the days returned to Xiang Ling going out early and coming back late, while Su Luyang buried his head in studying.
Their relationship did not become awkward because of what happened that day. They would occasionally make plans to have a meal together and say a few dirty words from time to time.
Everything looks the same as before.
After Xiang Ling and the others selected the actors, they began to rehearse intensively. Ji Qiulin did not participate in this National Day celebration, but he played a role in the entire drama that was very different from himself.
Vice President Luo Ruixue did have a seat in this program. They couldn't use all newcomers. After all, the National Day celebrations were no joke, and they still needed veterans to hold the scene.
They didn't have much time, and luckily most of the people selected had a foundation in dance and music, otherwise they would probably just be standing on the stage as a group in the end.
The person who gave Xiang Ling the biggest surprise during this period was Wang Baiyi.
When Xiang Ling asked him to join the company, he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that this junior was very compatible with him and wanted to make friends with him. So after knowing that the other party liked reading, he asked him to join the company as a screenwriter.
But on the day of the welcome event, Xiang Ling and his friends played a game to liven up the atmosphere. The loser had to show off his talent, and then Wang Baiyi sang a song.
It is obvious that there is a problem with the pitch, and it may be because he is too nervous and the pronunciation is also tight, but Wang Baiyi's voice is really nice.
The simplest two words to describe it are clean.
And because of his pitch, when he sings, it feels like he is slowly telling a story. It doesn't feel like he is singing, but more like he is having a conversation with people through music.
It just happened to coincide with the musical.
Xiang Ling never expected that Wang Baiyi had such potential when singing. If he was trained well, he would definitely be amazing in the future.
Unfortunately, Wang Boyi was a little restrained and said that he would rather learn screenwriting than be a musical actor.
Xiang Ling didn't force him, but just told him that if he wanted to, he could try it anytime in the future.
Then the old screenwriters in the club were not happy, especially the editor-in-chief Zhang Yun, who was so angry that his eyebrows stood up. He said that they had finally found a talented junior, and they should not think of transferring Wang Baiyi out of their group to sing, as he was a treasure.
Xiang Ling was at a loss for words and had to pretend to agree, but deep down he still wanted to let Wang Baiyi play.
After another rehearsal, Xiang Ling took Ji Qiulin to the food street for dinner. As soon as they reached the street corner, they saw Su Luyang and a beautiful girl in a pink plaid skirt standing at the door of the milk tea shop and talking.
"Eh..." Ji Qiulin said, "Isn't that Su Luyang? What is he doing there? Picking up girls?"
Xiang Ling didn't answer this question. Instead, he looked at the girl twice more and finally confirmed: "She is from the photography club. I have seen that girl before. She is a freshman."
"Pfft, how come you even remember people from the photography club?" Ji Qiulin was speechless, but he didn't doubt it, because Xiang Ling had an amazing memory.
"I spoke to her a few words on the day of the recruitment, and she's so beautiful, how could I possibly forget?" Xiang Ling said, "Let's go. I guess they just finished their activities, so they should come out and relax now. We won't disturb them."
Ji Qiulin raised his eyebrows. He vaguely smelled a sour smell.
"Su Luyang is gay." Ji Qiulin had to remind someone.
"Yeah." Xiang Ling nodded and answered in his heart, but this did not prevent the girl from being beautiful and wearing a beautiful skirt.
I'm not beautiful.
I am just strong, and a strong man who dreams of wearing beautiful skirts.
Before he could think about it, Su Luyang on the opposite side turned his head and saw the two of them. Then Xiang Ling looked at Su Luyang and said a few words to the girl, and came over here.
"Is the rehearsal over?" Su Luyang came quickly.
"Yes, come and have dinner. Have you eaten?" Ji Qiulin asked.
"No, I'll go with you." Su Luyang said.
For three people, we can just go to a small stir-fry restaurant and order some side dishes to share.
While waiting for the food, they chatted casually. As they were chatting, Xiang Ling's phone rang. It was the counselor calling.
Without any hesitation, Xiang Ling answered the call directly while sitting in his seat.
The counselor came to make a notification. After explaining things in a few words, he ended the call.
Ji Qiulin asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiang Ling said, "National Day is coming soon, and he asked me to compile a list of those who will stay on campus."
"Is that so?" Ji Qiulin nodded, then looked at Su Luyang and asked, "By the way, are you going home for National Day?"
Su Luyang shook his head.
"So are you going to stay in school or go out and play?" Xiang Ling asked.
"I haven't made up my mind yet." Su Luyang said, "Why, are you all leaving?"
Ji Qiulin nodded: "Yes, Ah Hai and I are going to Singapore, and Xiang Ling is going to France."
Su Luyang was a little surprised and turned to look at Xiang Ling: "You are going to France?"
"Yes, I had decided on it before," Xiang Ling said, "but I couldn't find anyone to go with me, so in the end I went alone."
Ji Qiulin paused after hearing this, his thoughts turning into a sentence: "Since Su Luyang, you don't know what to do during the National Day holiday, why don't you go to France with Xiang Ling?"
Xiang Ling: “…”
Su Luyang: “…”
This suggestion is damn tempting.
Xiang Ling looked at Su Luyang, and Su Luyang also looked at Xiang Ling. Both of them saw four big words in each other's eyes - ready to make a move.
Xiang Ling coughed lightly and said politely, "Is it convenient? You don't have to accompany me specially. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, forget it."
Su Luyang curled his eyes and said, "Please check if there are any seats left on your flight or at the hotel."
Xiang Ling did what he said and took out his mobile phone to check tickets. It was the National Day rush, and whether he could book a ticket depended entirely on luck.
"Ah, there are still two first-class tickets..." Xiang Ling looked up hesitantly. He was not sure whether Su Luyang was willing to buy a first-class ticket. Although he could feel that Su Luyang's living conditions were not bad, he was not sure to what extent.
"Are you sitting in first class?" Su Luyang asked.
Xiang Ling hesitated for a moment and did not nod immediately.
He did buy a first-class ticket, but he didn't want to affect Su Luyang because of his choice.
He already regretted his decision to travel with Su Luyang so easily. Traveling alone was very different from traveling with others.
When you travel alone, you can arrange your life however you want, and eat, drink, and have fun as you please.
But if there is one more person, you have to consider the other person's feelings, preferences, and even financial situation.
For example, if Su Luyang felt reluctant to buy a first-class ticket, or if Su Luyang felt that the hotel he booked was not suitable...
Once there is one more person in the plan, everything has to be rethought and new plans made.
"He is." Ji Qiulin answered for Xiang Ling.
Su Luyang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great. Please buy it for me. I was just thinking that if you didn't buy first class, I'd like to ask if you could upgrade to stay with me."
Xiang Ling: “…”
I should have thought of this earlier. How could Su Luyang, such a frivolous and sophisticated man, be broke? He usually spends countless trips on a pair of shoes.
"Are you sure you want to go? Can you prepare your passport and visa?" Xiang Ling asked. "I will stay there for the entire vacation."
"No problem, buy the ticket." Su Luyang said, "I'm sure I'm going."
Xiang Ling looked at Su Luyang twice more before lowering his head to enter his identity information and buy the plane ticket.
Su Luyang was watching from the side in amazement: "Xiang Ling, you actually remember my ID number?"
Before Xiang Ling could answer, Ji Qiulin laughed: "He not only remembers yours, he remembers the ID numbers of almost everyone in our class and the musical club."
Su Luyang couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
Ji Qiulin shook his head and said, "Why do you think Xiang Ling is so gifted in languages? He has an insanely good memory. I'd spend half an hour memorizing a word, but Xiang Ling can memorize it after just a few glances. He's a true model of photographic memory. He's also a real ace at memorizing numbers, okay? When he first entered military training, the instructor punished him by performing a talent show. He stood on the stage and recited pi to us. It was amazing."
"The key is that he recites it in several languages, alternating between them."
"Oh my God, you are so sensitive to numbers. When you were in high school, your teacher didn't even ask you to study science?" Su Luyang was stunned.
Xiang Ling raised his head and stared at Su Luyang with dead eyes: "Because I can only recite, but not calculate."
Ji Qiulin snickered, "Xiang Ling is a math idiot. He struggled mightily in high school math and could only barely pass the passing line."
"God closed a window for me so that I could better see the vast world from outside." Xiang Ling said proudly, "Although I am not good at math, my memory has enabled countless students of arts and science to grow under the endless lemon tree."
Su Luyang: “…”
Ji Qiulin: "..."
Ah, this expression really makes me want to strangle him to death.
