On November 25th, Su Luyang received a package.
Su Luyang went to get it secretly by himself, and locked it in his own metal cabinet after getting it.
Su Luyang was happy about this matter the whole day and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Xiang Ling had no idea what Su Luyang was so happy about, and he didn't tell her when asked. In the end, he could only assume that he was just having an intermittent seizure.
He has no time to care about Su Luyang's behavior recently. December is coming soon. The school will have a Christmas party at the end of December. The club has reserved programs to rehearse, and then their musical for this semester will be performed in the auditorium before New Year's Day.
Recently, Xiang Ling has been practicing music with his saxophone every day, and he also has to direct and supervise rehearsals. In order to stay in graduate school next semester, he cannot relax at all in his studies.
Working around the clock.
Now for Xiang Ling, the weekly class time is equivalent to rest time, because at least he can sit in the classroom and don’t have to run around.
But maybe Xiang Ling was too sensitive, he always felt that the atmosphere around him was not right recently. Many people were obviously chatting enthusiastically, but they immediately became quiet when they saw him coming. Xiang Ling occasionally eavesdropped, but he could not make any sense of it. He only vaguely heard a few words like "neither male nor female" and "pervert".
Xiang Ling had a bad feeling. The words he overheard made him very worried, but he had a lot of things to do recently and had no time to deal with the rumors in the class.
The class was a mess, and Xiang Ling went back to the dormitory with his schoolbag as soon as the get out of class was over.
All in vain.
There was no one in the dormitory. Xiang Ling then remembered that Ji Qiulin went to work in the coffee shop today, Jiang Yuanhai's translation work was not finished yet, and he had been following the professor recently, and Su Luyang had classes.
Xiang Ling was uneasy and wanted to go find Ji Qiulin, but just as he walked out the door, Professor Lin called him.
Xiang Ling had already decided to apply to be Professor Lin's graduate student, so there was no way he would not answer his call.
After taking two seconds to adjust his mood, Xiang Ling answered the phone.
"Xiao Ling, there is an urgent matter. Your get out of class is over, right? Do you have time now?" Professor Lin asked.
"You go ahead." Xiang Ling said.
"The German delegation arrived early, and the student who was previously scheduled to serve as the translator has not returned to school yet, so we are short of an interpreter," said Professor Lin.
Xiang Ling was surprised: "Arrived early? Wouldn't that mean they collided with the French?"
"Yes, this is the most troublesome thing. The principal plans to let them visit together." Professor Lin said.
Recently, University A held a teaching and research seminar. Three days later, before the seminar, delegations from various countries were arranged to visit and study at the school. Today was the French delegation, and tomorrow will be the German delegation.
Xiang Ling now understood why Professor Lin had to look for him, because he could speak both German and French.
"Professor, I have only learned French for a few months," Xiang Ling said.
"You don't need to go with the French group. They have other students. We're looking for you because there are two British people in the German group this time. Previously, we arranged one English-speaking student and one German-speaking student, but now they're both away, so we can't find anyone suitable at this time." Professor Lin said, "They will be here in twenty minutes."
Professor Lin added, "I really can't find anyone else except you. You have to follow the German group alone. I'm relying on you to translate German into English."
Xiang Ling had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
Before hanging up, Professor Lin said one last thing: "Put on some formal clothes. I'll send you the information."
In fact, Professor Lin had contacted Xiang Ling once before, but Xiang Ling had many other things to do at that time and was too busy to handle it, so he turned it down.
Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, the job finally fell on his head.
Time was running out, so Xiang Ling quickly changed his clothes, tied his hair, and headed out with his phone. On the way to the office, Xiang Ling raced to read the accompanying materials the professor had given him. Fortunately, he had a photographic memory, and by the time he got to the office, he had basically memorized most of it.
The professor and his colleagues had been waiting in the office for a long time. As soon as Xiang Ling arrived, they all rushed to the main door. On the way, the professor gave Xiang Ling some precautions.
Xiang Ling hadn't spoken German for a while. In order to practice, Xiang Ling directly translated the precautions the professor told him. By the time he arrived at the door, Xiang Ling had basically recovered his sense of language.
Professor Lin patted Xiang Ling on the shoulder, his satisfaction evident in his words.
After a group of people waited at the gate for about five minutes, the German group arrived. Five people got out of two cars: three men and two women, one of whom was British.
Only then did Xiang Ling realize that Professor Lin was not lying. He really couldn't find anyone to join the tour group. Otherwise, with so many people, it would be impossible for him to be the translator alone.
However, Xiang Ling also knew why Professor Lin didn't dare to look for other people.
Interpreting for a visiting delegation isn't just about translation; it requires flexibility and adaptability. Not everyone can do this well. Professor Lin had suffered several setbacks before, until he met Xiang Ling.
He has high EQ and IQ, good looks and temperament, excellent memory, and speaks multiple languages, which makes him very useful.
It’s fun to use it for a while, and it’s always fun to use it all the time.
Seeing that Xiang Ling was about to graduate, and fortunately he was going to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and chose to take the exam under him, Professor Lin was happy and satisfied.
It's rare to meet a student as talented and hardworking as Xiang Ling.
What no one expected was that one of the people in the visiting group was an acquaintance of Xiang Ling.
The year he graduated from high school, Xiang Ling went to Germany to study. Because of his family connections, he found a host family with a very famous professor in the school.
Xiang Ling was very happy that the professor had come as well. He had thought that this was someone he might never see again in his life, but he didn't expect to meet him unexpectedly.
The professor's name was Hans. He was very kind and handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes, a real girl killer. In the evenings, they often grilled sausages and drank beer together in the yard.
It’s just that Professor Hans teaches economics, and Xiang Ling is completely clueless about these things. He seemed to understand them in a trance, but in fact he had no idea what the other person was talking about.
But they all love music and reading.
With this relationship in place, they quickly skipped the awkward phase of first meeting and had a pleasant conversation.
The German group arrived around lunchtime, and they'd occasionally run into students returning to their dormitories after class. Xiang Ling followed them, translating diligently, and when they reached Moonlight Lake, he saw Su Luyang and Ji Qiulin.
Ji Qiulin also noticed Xiang Ling and immediately patted Su Luyang. As soon as they arrived, they looked towards Xiang Ling.
Xiang Ling winked at the two of them. Su Luyang's first reaction was to come over, but after taking a step, he found that Xiang Ling's clothes were wrong and the people around him were wrong too.
Xiang Ling winked and deliberately raised his voice so that Su Luyang and the others nearby could hear clearly that he was translating.
However, after all the gibberish, Su Luyang and Ji Qiulin didn't understand anything.
But at least I know what he is doing.
Ji Qiulin made a heart shape with his hands to Xiang Ling, who accepted it with a smile and followed the professors to the food street.
When University A entertains friends from outside, they never go out to eat, but always have them eat at restaurants in their own school.
Xiang Ling's translation work was taking a long time. The German group's own translator was stuck in Germany for some reason and couldn't come. After Xiang Ling took over, he would have to wait until at least tomorrow, when the two students originally scheduled to accompany the group returned to school, before he could leave.
Fortunately, he didn't have classes in the afternoon, otherwise he would have to skip it.
During lunch, Xiang Ling sent a message to Su Luyang, telling him that he was temporarily pulled out to work as a translator and could not come back for dinner.
Su Luyang replied OK.
Xiang Ling composed himself and continued to concentrate on translating.
After spending an entire afternoon together and having dinner, Xiang Ling was finally able to go back to school after sending Detuan back to the hotel. However, when he was about to go back, Hans insisted on dragging him to reminisce about the past. The group then went to a bar, ate and drank, and when Xiang Ling finally escaped, he found that it was already past eleven o'clock.
A University has a curfew at 10 o'clock, and you can't even get through the main gate at 11 o'clock.
The phone only had 5% battery left, and there were six missed calls and countless WeChat messages.
Xiang Ling secretly cried out in alarm and ran around looking for a street power source. After finally connecting to it, the battery was only 1% left.
Xiang Ling called Su Luyang. As soon as the call was connected, before he could say anything, Xiang Ling couldn't wait to say, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't hear the phone ringing just now, and my phone was out of battery, so I just charged it!"
Su Luyang was very quiet, and after a long while he said, "Oh."
Xiang Ling: Playing with the ball, big baby is unhappy.
"There's an elder in the German delegation who helped me a lot before. I was dragged here to reminisce about the past, so I couldn't leave." Xiang Ling apologized, "I should have called you first to tell you. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Su Luyang was quiet for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Then you won't be coming back tonight?"
"I probably can't go back. I've already passed the access control point." Xiang Ling said.
Su Luyang was quiet again.
Xiang Ling drank a lot of alcohol and now he felt dizzy and weak, and was extremely sleepy. He was able to insist on making the call entirely because of his strong willpower.
Su Luyang remained silent. Xiang Ling stood on the street, unable to wait any longer. Just as he was about to say goodnight and hang up, Su Luyang's aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone: "I missed you."
Xiang Ling: “…”
"I couldn't get through to you just now. I thought something had happened to you. I asked your professor, and he said you went to a bar with a handsome blond guy," Su Luyang complained. "My heart sank."
Xiang Ling: "...That handsome guy is already fifty years old. He's the elder who helped me that I just mentioned. I lived in his house when I graduated from high school and went to study in Germany. He's a very good professor."
"Oh." Poor little Su Luyang said gloomily.
Xiang Ling felt both distressed and amused, and took advantage of his drunkenness to act cute: "Brother Luyang, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time. I just drank a lot of wine and feel dizzy. I'm planning to find a hotel to sleep in for the night. I'll go back to you tomorrow and apologize, okay?"
"Where are you now?" Su Luyang asked.
"North Street Avenue." Xiang Ling said, "I really can't make it. I'll hang up first."
"Wait!" Su Luyang said, "Turn back."
Xiang Ling: ???
Xiang Ling thought to himself, no way, and turned his head while holding the phone.
Su Luyang was standing under a street light not far away with a backpack on his back. The dim light enveloped him, making it impossible to see his face.
Xiang Ling blinked, his heartbeat suddenly accelerating.
