Xiang Ling sat on the bed, looking calmly at Ji Qiulin and Jiang Yuanhai who were translating materials below. A lot of messy thoughts surged in his mind, and finally he put away his phone and climbed out of bed.
Su Luyang was typing on the computer downstairs. Seeing him come down right after going up, he asked curiously, "Frequent urination?"
Xiang Ling: "...Get lost."
Ji Qiulin glanced back and said, "Xiang Ling, it's just right that you're here. I have a problem."
Xiang Ling walked over, took a few glances and then started discussing with Ji Qiulin. Jiang Yuanhai joined in after listening for a while.
Ji Qiulin and Jiang Yuanhai were currently working on a major project for the institute, with over thirty people rushing to work. Xiang Ling had been absent due to other commitments. The project was so complex that the entire group sighed and worried until their hair turned gray.
Su Luyang sat opposite them and typed away on the keyboard. When he stopped to drink some water, he overheard what Xiang Ling and the others were discussing. The more he listened, the more horrified he became.
Is this really the English he has been speaking for all these years?
Su Luyang went abroad at a young age and never took the domestic English proficiency test. His English ability was entirely acquired through communication with others. Later, in order to study in France, he specially learned French systematically. In terms of vocabulary and grammar, his French is definitely better than his English.
Su Luyang stopped listening because he didn't understand. The thing that was giving him a headache was still right in front of him. No one in the dormitory could help him, so he had to rely on himself.
When Ji Qiulin and the others were finishing their discussion, Xiang Ling simply took over some of the content and sat back in his seat to work hard.
For a moment, the only sounds in the dormitory were the clacking of keyboards and the swish of pens across paper.
When Xiang Ling finished the two pieces of information in his hand, he looked up at the time and found that it was already past one o'clock.
He sat there in a daze for a while, thinking back to the message the deputy monitor had sent him. It was too late to talk to Ji Qiulin now, so he decided to find a time to talk privately tomorrow morning.
As a result, Xiang Ling didn't find time at all the next day. He was taken away by Professor Lin early in the morning. He was busy all day long and finally received news that he was needed to go to Y City for three days.
The notice came too suddenly and Xiang Ling had no choice. After returning to the dormitory at night, he told Su Luyang and the others about it while packing his clothes.
Su Luyang was reluctant: "It will take three days..."
Xiang Ling nodded: "It's just a tentative three days. We'll have to go and see the specific date."
Su Luyang complained: "Why does your hospital always issue notices at such short notice?"
Xiang Ling laughed twice. "How dare you, a computer science student, say that to me? Your department and the architecture department are the ones that are famous for being so quick to respond at short notice at University A."
Su Luyang said: "I have never received it."
Xiang Ling shook his head: "That's because you just enrolled. When the next semester or the semester after that starts, you will definitely receive frequent last-minute notices."
Su Luyang frowned: "Do computer science students have to travel frequently?"
Xiang Ling said: "It depends on your instructor, but aren't you studying computer science? Why are you asking me?"
Su Luyang laughed and said, "I don't know much about the domestic market."
Xiang Ling didn't think much about it. He packed his luggage, took out some clean clothes from the cabinet and went to take a shower.
Su Luyang stood there for a while, left the dormitory and went to a deserted place to make an overseas call.
After finishing the call, Su Luyang was going upstairs to the dormitory, but found that Xiang Ling, Jiang Yuanhai and Ji Qiulin came out of the dormitory one after another, and they looked unhappy.
He wanted to chase after her, but the phone rang again at this time. Su Luyang had to make a choice and finally returned to his original position to answer the phone.
Over there, Xiang Ling and the other two also walked to a deserted place and sat down.
Xiang Ling had come to tell them about the recent rumors. Ji Qiulin had indeed known about them for a long time, even a long time ago. However, the rumors had just started and were not widely circulated. Ji Qiulin was initially panicked, but later, when he saw that they had not spread far, he put it behind him.
In addition, there have been too many things going on recently and they have no time to take care of their own affairs. From morning to night, they only have eyes for those 26 letters. Now that it is brought up again, the three of them are shocked to realize that the rumor has spread again without their knowledge.
"There's one more thing..." Ji Qiulin pursed his lips for a moment before saying, "My mom and her family seem to be coming to University A soon."
Xiang Ling looked up in surprise and found that Jiang Yuanhai's expression had not changed. It was obvious that he had known it long ago.
"What are they here for?" Xiang Ling asked.
Ji Qiulin shook his head. "That's what Ah Hai's mother said, but we're not entirely sure whether they'll come or not. I just found out about this. I've been so busy these past two days that I didn't have time to tell you..."
At this point, Ji Qiulin couldn't help but sigh, slumping back against the back of his chair. "I originally thought hearing these words would be very painful, but I found that I had no time to feel pain after getting busy. I want to finish this quickly and sleep for three days and three nights, but I also want to never finish it so that I don't have to worry about those bad things."
Xiang Ling felt very uncomfortable when he heard him say this.
Ji Qiulin sat up again and said, "Don't worry, I can just make it public. I've come to terms with it these past few years at university. Someone who loves you will always love you no matter what, and someone who doesn't love you won't hear anything you say."
Xiang Ling was somewhat relieved about Ji Qiulin's change of mind, but he still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable: "You're such a good person, I don't like to hear people spread rumors."
Ji Qiulin laughed. "Uncle Wolf said in The Greatest Showman that they don't understand it now, but they will fall in love with you sooner or later. So one day, when they are willing to understand me as a person, rather than my physical structure, then I am very confident that they will like me. Even if they don't like me, it doesn't matter. I don't like them anyway."
Xiang Ling didn't expect that Ji Qiulin would comfort him in the end. He said with a smile, "Okay, okay. I know you've let it go."
Ji Qiulin patted Xiang Ling's shoulder like an older sister: "It's okay, don't worry, with your support and love for me, I'm already so happy that I want to fly."
Xiang Ling didn't say anything else, but he had his own plans in mind. This matter couldn't be let go so easily.
Thinking is one thing, doing is another. Xiang Ling's most important thing now is to go on a business trip to Y City. Fortunately, there are not so many courses in the third year, so he only has one class in these three days.
After returning to the dormitory, Xiang Ling took Su Luyang to the bathroom, kissed her passionately, and then whispered to her for a while.
Su Luyang has had a lot of schoolwork recently, and Xiang Ling is still typing on the keyboard after he goes to bed.
The professor who liked him very much gave him a lot of homework. Although he was busy, his ability was improving rapidly. Su Luyang was not stupid to begin with, and with guidance, he improved even faster.
The next day, Xiang Ling left with Professor Lin carrying his bag.
He almost handed over all the club activities to the vice president Xiao Tiantian. Now their musical is basically complete and only needs to continue rehearsing.
In terms of logistics, everyone's costumes, including props, have been mostly completed, and the music group's effect is much better than everyone imagined at the beginning, but they still don't have enough people, so they have to ask other clubs for help.
However, Xiang Ling did not spend time thinking about these things after leaving school. This time he came out with Professor Lin as a professor's assistant to accompany Professor Lin to attend the lecture at S University in Y City.
Professor Lin is the dean of the School of Foreign Languages and Literature at University A. He has spent most of his life studying foreign languages and literature and is a leading figure in the field.
Professor Lin is a doctoral supervisor. Due to his busy administrative duties, he has not supervised graduate students in recent years. It was Xiang Ling who worked tirelessly to make himself familiar to Professor Lin. In addition, Xiang Ling was talented and hardworking, so he was able to basically gain a foothold with Professor Lin.
Xiang Ling's performance at the seminar this time greatly increased his favorability. Professor Lin assigned him more tasks than before, including this lecture, the main content of which was about translation theory and techniques. Xiang Ling was not allowed to go before, but now his name has been added to the list.
Xiang Ling was in both pain and happiness during this period.
The more Professor Lin likes to use him, the more it means that he has a chance to become Professor Lin's graduate student. Having a lot of things to do is also a sweet burden.
But it's all empty talk now. According to Xiang Ling's plan, he will only start preparing for postgraduate studies next semester, so he should focus on the present things.
After arriving at S University, the other school sent several people to receive him. Xiang Ling followed Professor Lin, feeling inexplicably excited.
I think he had been so warmly welcoming visiting groups before, and now thanks to Professor Lin, he also enjoyed being received. How cool.
There were now seven of them, three of whom were professors and four were assistant students. When arranging accommodations, the professors each had a single room, while they shared a standard room with two people.
The person who lived in the same room with Xiang Ling was Professor Lin's student. Xiang Ling and him were familiar with each other and had eaten together several times.
His senior was Li Zhuchao, a PhD candidate in foreign linguistics and applied linguistics, and a very impressive senior. When Xiang Ling arrived, Li Zhuchao was still a graduate student, but now he's following Professor Lin's footsteps and moving into a more academic field.
Most of Professor Lin’s students knew that Xiang Ling wanted to apply to be Professor Lin’s graduate student. Because Xiang Ling had a good personality and was good at dealing with people, most of the seniors had a good relationship with him.
There's no awkwardness at all living together.
Before going to bed at night, Xiang Ling held his mobile phone and texted Su Luyang on WeChat, talking sweet nothings to each other and saying sweet words as if they were risking their lives. Xiang Ling buried himself in the quilt and laughed so hard.
Li Zhuchao came out of the shower and saw him like that, and jokingly asked, "Are you in love?"
Xiang Ling nodded sweetly: "Yes, we have been together for more than two months."
"It's still the honeymoon period." Li Zhuchao said, "Congratulations."
"Thank you, senior." Xiang Ling was very happy and tapped his fingers on the screen.
Li Zhuchao tidied himself up and lay down on the bed. He glanced at Xiang Ling and suddenly said, "Do you know Luo Ruixue?"
Xiang Ling didn't react immediately. Why did he hear the name of his vice president Xiao Tiantian from his senior? He paused for two seconds before saying, "Yes, she is the vice president of our club."
Li Zhuchao nodded and said nothing more.
Xiang Ling glanced at Li Zhuchao and asked, "Do you know him too, Senior?"
Li Zhuchao said, "I met him at the bar."
Xiang Ling blinked, his mind going crazy.
Eighty percent of the bars Luo Ruixue goes to are probably gay. If the senior meets Luo Ruixue there, could it be that he is also gay?
Xiang Ling suddenly didn't know how to continue the topic.
Li Zhuchao was silent for a while, and then he asked after a long while: "Is he your boyfriend?"
Xiang Ling: “……?!”
Xiang Ling only mentioned the fact that he was gay in class and in the club. The scope was very small and he never spread it around. Most of his classmates and club members also did not talk about it casually, so not many people knew about it.
Why did Li Zhuchao know?
Perhaps Xiang Ling's expression was too blunt, so Li Zhuchao explained, "I've heard someone mention it by chance. Don't mind it. Also, after the last seminar, someone gossiped about you on the forum, so more people might know about your sexual orientation than you think. At least most people in our academy know about it."
Xiang Ling: “…”
Xiang Ling was shocked by the news, but he didn't intend to hide it. He was just a little surprised for a moment. Now that he realized it, he didn't think it was a big deal. He just said, "Luo Ruixue is not my boyfriend."
"Oh, I see." Li Zhuchao smiled.
Xiang Ling asked: "Why do you think he is my boyfriend?"
Li Zhuchao shook his head apologetically: "I only know him, I'm just guessing."
Xiang Ling: "...Okay."
Xiang Ling lowered his head and continued to play with his phone, but his expression was not as good as before. He didn't believe that Li Zhuchao was just guessing. There is no smoke without fire. He must have heard something before to have such a question.
But he couldn't ask in detail, because Li Zhuchao and he were not that familiar with each other.
Xiang Ling changed her mood, lay down and continued to send messages to her dear boyfriend.
Xiang Ling: Baby, our senior just asked me if my boyfriend is Xiao Tiantian [headache]
Su Luyang: Humph.
Xiang Ling: [Kiss][Kiss][Rose][Rose]
Su Luyang: Since you mentioned it first, let me tell you. Today a schoolmate handed me a love letter.
Xiang Ling: ???
Su Luyang: But I immediately told her that I had a lover.
Xiang Ling: Then why didn’t you tell me right away that you had breached the contract!
This was a small agreement between Xiang Ling and Su Luyang, because they both often encountered similar things. In order to avoid hearing false versions from others, they agreed that as long as someone confessed their love, or spread false rumors, etc., they would immediately tell the other party to avoid misunderstandings.
Su Luyang: I was wrong! [Kneeling down and begging for mercy.jpg]
Xiang Ling: No matter what, I will punish you.
Su Luyang: Hehehe, okay, I want my baby to receive “love education”, so please encourage me as much as you can.
Xiang Ling: [Furious] Could you please stop making every nice thing you say sound like a dirty joke?
Su Luyang: I only do this to you. Others can’t hear it even if they want to.
Xiang Ling: Humph, I know what I'm going to punish you for. Before I come back, you have to talk to me in a completely serious manner and no dirty jokes are allowed.
Su Luyang: [Thunderbolt from the blue.jpg]
Xiang Ling looked at the little man on the screen who was struck by lightning and burned to a crisp, and smiled sweetly again.
Oh, it’s so nice to have a boyfriend.
happy!
(Please see it as a word)
