Su Luyang turned his head and looked at Xiang Ling.
In fact, he heard everything Xiang Ling said when he was taking a shower.
The toilet door in that hotel was not soundproof, and Su Luyang walked from the shower to the sink to get his toothbrush, so he could hear it even more clearly.
That's why he pretended to be calm and walked in front of Xiang Ling, and even when Xiang Ling touched him, he didn't react; that's why he went to the balcony and smoked non-stop, even though he had been slowly quitting smoking since being with Xiang Ling.
Only then did Su Luyang truly understand what Jiang Yuanhai meant when he said, "Xiang Ling has actually always been very worried about you."
Xiang Ling asked him what he wanted to say in the hotel just now?
In fact, at that moment, Su Luyang wanted to tell Xiang Ling everything he had encountered in the past.
He wanted to prove that he actually trusted Xiang Ling.
Xiang Ling was right, he was indeed worried that they would break up after he said those words, but that was not the whole reason.
Su Luyang had concerns before because Xiang Ling didn't allow him to kiss or hug when they first started dating, and it was completely secretive. This inevitably reminded him of some bad things.
Su Luyang knew in his heart that Xiang Ling would not be the same as that person, but he couldn't help but think too much. What if? What if Xiang Ling really did the same thing as that person?
However, during this period of interaction, Su Luyang has completely understood what kind of person Xiang Ling is. They have passed the initial stage, and there are kisses and hugs, which they will openly share in front of their friends. Xiang Ling is using his own way, forcefully and slowly, to give him a sense of security.
Moreover, Xiang Ling is too kind. He will never choose to break up because of these troubles. He will only feel sad and heartbroken for himself.
Su Luyang didn't want Xiang Ling to be sad. He hoped that Xiang Ling could always be as happy as when they first met.
But after accidentally overhearing what Xiang Ling and his parents said, Su Luyang realized that he was extremely wrong. It was not that Xiang Ling would not be hurt if he said nothing.
He shouldn't just make up his own mind about what Xiang Ling needs and doesn't need. They should communicate more, be open and honest, and understand each other's needs more deeply. He is not Xiang Ling, and he can't know Xiang Ling's needs by just guessing.
While Xiang Ling gave him a sense of security, he was unable to give Xiang Ling the same response.
But now...
Su Luyang looked at Xiang Ling, shook his head, and whispered, "Nothing."
Now is not a good time.
Ji Qiulin's problem has not been resolved yet, and Xiang Ling is already in a bad mood. If he tells Xiang Ling about his own problems now, Su Luyang doesn't know how sad Xiang Ling will be.
Xiang Ling, perhaps overcome by emotion, was unwilling to let Su Luyang go, so he asked again, "What was that thing you just mentioned that made you even angrier?"
Su Luyang was silent.
Should I tell him now? And how should I say it to make Xiang Ling feel better?
After Su Luyang had sorted out his thoughts, he resolutely grasped Xiang Ling's hand, stared into his eyes, and said, "I... I've encountered many things that have made me even more angry. Which one do you want to hear about?"
Xiang Ling's eyelashes trembled slightly. He said, "If you are willing to tell me, I want to hear every single thing."
Su Luyang laughed: "They are all very unpleasant stories."
Xiang Ling also laughed: "Brother just likes hard-to-hear stories."
Su Luyang said helplessly: "Okay, let me think about which one to say."
Xiang Ling was a little nervous for a moment, and he tightened his grip on Su Lvyang's hand. He had asked the second question on impulse, but he hadn't expected Su Lvyang to actually open up and tell him.
He finally gained trust and was able to listen to Su Luyang's past stories.
"Before I tell you the story, guess which school I attended before I transferred," said Su Luyang.
Which school? Xiang Ling looked up and thought.
Deng Yan once said that Su Lvyang was a top student with excellent grades. Although Xiang Ling didn't understand computers, his love filter made him think that Su Lvyang was amazing. In addition, many teachers in their school liked Su Lvyang, which meant that Su Lvyang was a computer genius.
The computer god’s words… Xiang Ling frowned. He didn’t quite understand.
Xiang Ling guessed: "Harvard? MIT? Yale? Stanford?"
Su Luyang shook his head again and again, and finally said with a helpless smile: "Stop, stop, I'm not that awesome!"
"Where is that? I can't guess." Xiang Ling said.
Su Luyang reminded him, "I didn't study computer science before. My major is related to yours."
"Is it related to me?" Xiang Ling laughed. "What? Xiang Ling Research Institute?"
Su Luyang nodded: "Yes, I am the president of this research society."
Xiang Ling couldn't wait any longer: "What on earth is it? Tell me now!"
"Julia." Su Luyang said seriously.
"Juilliard?" Xiang Ling was stunned, and it took him several seconds to react. "Juilliard School of Music?"
Su Luyang nodded: "Yes, I study vocal music at the Juilliard School."
"How is this possible?" Xiang Ling was stunned.
But when he looked at Su Luyang's expression, he recalled Su Luyang's past sensitivity to music and rhythm, as well as the way he danced, walked, and spoke...it seemed as if everything made sense again.
Su Luyang is indeed a top student, but not a top student in the computer department, but a top student in the Juilliard School of Music.
Why had he never heard of it before? Xiang Ling was stunned by the news.
That is the Juilliard School, which can be said to be the Harvard of music schools and the dream school of countless students.
Su Luyang actually studied vocal music there for two years, and then suddenly transferred to their place to learn computer from scratch!
Why!
"You are too hardcore..." Xiang Ling said.
You're capable of getting into Juilliard, awesome.
It’s even more awesome to have the courage to quit halfway and start learning computer from scratch for unknown reasons.
"Then why did you transfer here to study computer science?" Xiang Ling asked.
Su Luyang said: "That's because——"
"Xiang Ling!" At this time, Xiang Ling's class counselor, Deng Yan, ran over from a distance.
The two turned to look at him, then looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and understood what each other meant.
Let’s deal with the things here first and deal with the other things later.
Xiang Ling had told Deng Yan about the situation here on the phone before. Deng Yan must have been anxious, as he ran here with messy hair and without even changing his clothes.
Su Luyang and Deng Yan were not familiar with each other and had only met twice. When he saw each other, he didn't show much expression. He first greeted him politely, and then signaled Xiang Ling to remind Deng Yan of his clothes.
Deng Yan came here as their pillar to negotiate with Ji Qiulin's parents, so he must not lose momentum from the beginning because of his clothes.
"Are Qiulin and Yuanhai okay?" Deng Yan asked as he straightened his clothes. "Are their injuries serious?"
Xiang Ling said, "When they called you, it was their turn to check. We came out right after that, and we don't know the result yet."
Deng Yu was surprised: "You weren't in there with me?"
Xiang Ling frowned: "Her mother is there, I'm afraid I can't control myself, so I came out to get some fresh air."
"Understood." Deng Yan patted Xiang Ling's shoulder. "Leave the rest to me. When you go in later, I'll take Qiulin and the others back to school."
"We're not going back to school," Su Luyang said. "It's past curfew. We'll stay outside tonight and go back early tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Deng Yan nodded and said to Xiang Ling, "You did the right thing. Don't get into a fight with them. Leave the matter to the school. Don't worry, the dean has said that no one can harm our students from the School of Foreign Languages."
No one knew that before Ji Qiulin was anonymously posted on the forum, Deng Yan was the only person at University A who knew about the incident, except Xiang Ling and Jiang Yuanwai.
It was Xiang Ling who suggested that Ji Qiulin confess.
Because Deng Yan, besides being Xiang Ling's counselor, was actually related to Xiang Ling and was one of his own. This was something only Xiang Ling and the other two knew about; not even Su Luyang had told them.
It was also because of Deng Yan that the three of them were able to live so easily in the first two years, and Xiang Ling dared to tell the class that he was gay at the beginning of the school year.
Xiang Ling is not stupid. He confessed his sexual orientation in class because he was confident. Otherwise, if he encountered a homophobic counselor, he would definitely not have an easy time.
Deng Yu had always known about Ji Qiulin's family affairs, and had probably guessed what kind of personalities her parents had from Ji Qiulin's few words.
He had prepared for today's situation a long time ago.
Xiang Ling was a little worried about Deng Yan: "What about the five of them? Can you handle it? We should stay with you. At least if I stand behind you, they shouldn't dare to make a move."
"No need. Wait until Qiulin and Yuanhai come out, then take them to rest." Deng Yan said, "It's so late and you're still not asleep. Do you want to go bald?"
"Fuck, I'm just worried that you'll get beaten up. Your arms and legs are so thin, they're not as thick as mine when put together." Xiang Ling said.
"This is in the hospital. They wouldn't dare do anything to me. And if they did, wouldn't I call the police?" Deng said. "I'm not their daughter. Anyone who dares to hit me can try."
Xiang Ling watched Deng Yan showing off with an expressionless face. In the end, he didn't say anything more, but just told Deng Yan to be careful.
After they entered, Ji Qiulin and others just came out. Deng Yan immediately stepped forward, protected Ji Qiulin behind him, and introduced himself to Ji Qiulin's parents.
Xiang Ling and Su Luyang also slipped over, intending to quietly take Ji Qiulin and the others away.
As a result, he was discovered by the bearded man next to Ji's mother after taking just a few steps, and was immediately scolded.
The atmosphere was a little tense. Deng Yan looked back at them, signaling them to be at ease. Then, under everyone's gaze, he leaned over to Ji's mother's ear and said a few words.
Xiang Ling saw Mother Ji's face turn pale and blue, and finally she yelled at the bearded man, while Deng Yan also waited for an opportunity to let them leave.
Xiang Ling and the others slipped away in confusion.
After leaving the hospital, the camera saw that everything was fine and left first. Xiang Ling and Su Luyang did not plan to return to the previous hotel, so they took the two patients to a new suite.
The four of them took a shower and came out. Xiang Ling applied medicine to Ji Qiulin, and Su Luyang applied medicine to Jiang Yuanhai, each taking care of one.
It was a chaotic day, and everyone was exhausted. They had no mood to talk much, so they all fell asleep after settling down.
The next day, they slept until nearly 12 o'clock.
Even Xiang Ling, who usually gets up early, was awakened by a call from Deng Yan.
They packed up and took the bus back to school together.
