As the sun sets, only the sunset glow remains in the sky.
The student union dinner was scheduled for the evening. After sending her roommates off, Li Mengqin returned to the girls’ dormitory, waited for Li Xiaoya to come, and took her to the party.
They said they were worried that she was not familiar with the surrounding environment of the new district and would get lost, but there was no news until she finished taking a shower.
Since it was night, Li Mengqin stood on the balcony with her cell phone in her hand, thinking that if she hadn't come after dark, she would call her again.
If anything unexpected happened again, her roommates left her instant noodles and biscuits when they left, knowing that the cafeteria would be closed for the next two days.
It was just the end of August and the wind on the balcony was still a little hot in the evening.
But wearing short sleeves and a skirt, the wind brushing against her skin was still quite comfortable, just like a few furry puppies acting coquettishly around her.
She had met Wei Lai at the school gate before. He said that he had made an appointment with someone to go out and play together. She knew without guessing that the person must be Qingting.
Looking down from the balcony, Wei Lai was indeed waiting at the door of the girls' dormitory building diagonally opposite her. After a while, Qingting came out of the dormitory building, wearing a cool vest and skirt. She looked fresh and beautiful, and was indeed more popular with boys than her.
The two of them walked side by side, talking and laughing, which made her very envious.
"It turns out that he still likes her. He was just pretending during military training." Li Mengqin lay on the concrete railing of the balcony, muttering to herself.
Wei Lai was very serious during military training and almost never looked away. Even when practicing turning, Qingting moved in front of him and his eyes rarely wandered to her. They looked like just ordinary friends.
Now that I think about it, it was just that Wei Lai was serious about his work, and it had little to do with whether he liked it or not.
"Mengqin, are you there?"
"Here! Sister, you are finally here."
Li Xiaoya knocked on the dormitory door. Li Mengqin quickly put her worries aside and ran to open the door for her.
…
All students staying overnight must register with the dormitory manager.
When registering, Wei Lai specifically asked the dormitory manager what time the dormitories would close during holidays.
The dormitory manager looked at him strangely and told him the closing time of the dormitory.
In fact, Wei Lai had another question to ask: what would happen if I filled in my name to stay overnight and didn’t come back after the dormitory closed.
But thinking of the strange look of the dormitory manager, he still used his ability to get the answer.
After the dormitory closing time, if the person is not found during the dormitory inspection, according to school rules, the dormitory manager will first report it to the class teacher, and then the class teacher will decide whether to call the student or the student's parents.
In the end, no matter what the result is, the first time will be a demerit, the second time will be a detention, and the third time will be expulsion.
[That means we have four hours from now until the dorm closes. Maybe this will work...]
Wei Lai followed Qingting out of the school gate, glanced at the clock in the guard room, and an idea came to his mind.
"Xiaoting, have you decided where to eat?"
"No, I'm checking on my phone."
Qingting lowered her head and used her phone to search for nearby hotels and restaurants with their names displayed.
[I see. That's not today. Considering the time for eating and waiting, plus the round trip, and the need to wander around, time is too tight.]
After figuring it out, Wei Lai felt that the street lights outside the school that were gradually lighting up were particularly beautiful.
Qingting lowered her head, her eyes secretly drifting towards Wei Lai. Seeing that he didn't notice at all, there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.
"Hey, Wei Lai, what do you want to eat? There are so many restaurants around." Qingting raised her head and looked at Wei Lai straight, her eyes full of anticipation.
"We agreed that you would choose, why are you pushing the ball to my side again?"
Wei Lai always felt that Qingting's eyes were weird, so he couldn't help but use his ability again.
"I don't have anything in particular I want to eat. Since we're going to walk around the area, we need to eat a full stomach before we can have the energy to do so. Let's find the nearest store and eat whatever they have."
"No, we might as well buy something to eat while we're walking. Scientific evidence shows that eating can make people happy. If we eat while walking, we won't feel tired no matter how long we walk."
"Then we can eat while we walk around. But street food is usually not filling and expensive, so we should go Dutch from now on."
"No, I said it's my treat, so I have to treat. Besides, you can't really taste the food if you're walking and eating at the same time."
"Huh?"
Looking back at the light and shadow, Wei Lai couldn't help but feel a frown on his face.
[So going back on one's word is a natural skill for girls? ]
"I... forget it, I'll take a look at the map too." Wei Lai felt that he couldn't be too arbitrary, so he took out his mobile phone and prepared to check it.
First find out what places to eat are nearby. If the choice is really difficult, then try to find out more.
"If you can't think of anything, why don't we go to this dumpling shop? It's right in the mall. After eating dumplings, we can go shopping in the mall."
"Thank you so much."
As soon as she unlocked the phone, Qingting grabbed Wei Lai's wrist, pressed down his hand holding the phone, and showed him the address she had just saved.
[You've already made up your mind, yet you still ask me? Girls are so hard to understand.]
In any case, Wei Lai breathed a sigh of relief.
Qingting grabbed Wei Lai's wrist with one hand and held her cell phone with the other, and followed the navigation all the way to the shopping mall she mentioned.
Not to mention that Qingting was holding his hand all the time, Wei Lai looked around. This shopping mall was only two or three kilometers away from their school, not far. Even if he walked and shopped along the way, it would not take more than an hour to get there.
