Chapter 487 Shu Lan Part 1 (Extra)
"Brother Meng, the official announcement for this year's game has been released. How about we go and watch it live?"
On the tree-lined path, students who were leaving class walked towards the school gate in groups of three or five, laughing and joking.
Seventeen-year-old Meng Tinglan was wearing a school uniform, with a schoolbag slung over his shoulder, and he listened to his good friends chattering with a relaxed look on his face.
The bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the trees, casting starlight on the boy's face.
"I have a photo shoot this weekend, so I might not have time." Meng Tinglan calculated the time in his mind, frowned, and felt a little regretful.
My friend sighed and joked, "Oh, big stars are different."
Meng Tinglan reached out and pushed his friend: "Come on, stop teasing me with this."
"Hey, am I wrong to call you a big star? Have you ever said that you want to enter the entertainment industry?" The friend stuck out his tongue and continued to tease, "Big star, if I can't make it in the future, you have to protect me."
"Give me a small role and I can satisfy my desire to be an actor."
The students all around looked over here, and when they recognized Meng Tinglan, they all looked at him eagerly, wanting to come up and ask for his autograph.
"Stop talking, everyone will recognize me soon!" Meng Tinglan quickly raised his hands to cover his face.
"It's Meng Tinglan. He actually went back to school to attend classes!"
"I like him so much, I want to get his autograph."
"I wanted to take a photo, but I didn't bring my phone."
The students were chattering, and Meng Tinglan saw that something was wrong, so he immediately pulled his friend and ran away.
"Oh, he ran away."
"Meng Tinglan!"
"Meng Tinglan, can you give me an autograph?"
Several female classmates who were nearby chased after him, and Meng Tinglan could only run forward with all his might.
"It's all your fault. I told you to stop yelling!" Meng Tinglan ran while blaming his friend.
My friend said with a smile: "This shows that you will really become a big star! So many people like you, you will have a lot of romantic opportunities in the future."
Meng Tinglan was embarrassed by his friend's teasing, so he raised his fist and pretended to hit someone: "You keep talking!"
My friend sped up, running while laughing: "Luolulu~~~Big star, big star!"
The two were chasing each other, not noticing at all that there was a girl in a red dress squatting under the shade of a tree beside the road.
Just as Meng Tinglan ran over, the girl suddenly stood up and turned out.
"careful!"
When Meng Tinglan saw her, it was too late to stop.
The girl had no time to react and shouted with a pale face: "Ah! Help!"
In a split second, he only had time to grab the girl he had knocked down, then quickly changed direction, and the two of them fell towards the flowerbed nearby.
"Are you okay?" In the flowerbed, the girl in a red dress pressed on Meng Tinglan, and her fair arms were scratched by the branches, leaving many red marks.
Meng Tinglan was not feeling well either, his entire back was aching from being poked by the flowerpot.
"Don't you have eyes? Don't you look at the road?" The girl in the red dress climbed up in a wolfish manner and suddenly became furious.
Meng Tinglan knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't talk back, but apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Did you fall anywhere? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Seeing that his attitude was not bad, the girl in the red dress felt her remaining anger stuck in her throat.
After a few seconds of silence, he said in a muffled voice: "No need to go to the hospital, it's not that serious."
Meng Tinglan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he could see the appearance of the girl in front of him clearly.
The red dress was as red as fire, and her face was pretty, especially her eyes with upturned corners, as if they were covered with hooks.
The warm summer breeze blew past, and my slightly messy long hair brushed across my face, making it seem a little unreal.
Meng Tinglan was mesmerized for a moment, and could only hear the heart in his chest beating faster and faster.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, can you hear me?" The girl's voice sounded again with a hint of annoyance.
Meng Tinglan suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his eyes with a guilty look, and said absentmindedly: "Ah? You...what did you say?"
The girl in red frowned and looked at him with a hint of disdain: "I say, do you know how to get to the girls' dormitory?"
Meng Tinglan blinked, and finally came back to his senses. Then he pointed in a direction: "Go that way."
"Thank you." The girl in the red dress said coldly, brushing off the dust on her skirt while walking forward.
Meng Tinglan was stunned for a few seconds, then realized that he hadn't asked the other person's name yet.
When he turned around and wanted to call out to her, he discovered that there was a hole in the girl's skirt.
"Wait!" He shouted quickly, then took out his school uniform jacket from his schoolbag, ran over and covered the girl's back.
"What?" The girl in the red dress frowned.
Meng Tinglan turned his head away, not daring to look at her again, and whispered: "You...your...skirt is torn..."
Hearing this, the girl's face changed drastically and she grabbed the coat he had wrapped around her, with a look of shame and anger on her face.
"You!" The girl stared at him, her eyes filled with anger and a hint of red.
Meng Tinglan looked at her and was about to cry. He was so scared that he stuttered even more: "It's just a small hole. Don't cry. I'll give you a new one."
The girl in the red skirt bit her lip and endured it for a long time, and finally raised her foot and kicked Meng Tinglan's calf: "It's all your fault! I don't want you to pay."
After saying that, the girl in the red dress turned around and ran away in embarrassment.
Meng Tinglan stood there, first touched his nose, then looked down at the footprints left on his pants.
"She has a bad temper...but she's so cute..."
On the other side, the girl in the red dress ran all the way to the girls’ dormitory and saw her cousin Wen Wan standing downstairs of the dormitory.
"Cousin." The girl ran over, her voice sounding a little aggrieved.
Wen Wan saw that she was wearing a boy's school uniform jacket, and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Shushu, what happened to you?"
Qiao Shu stamped her feet in annoyance: "Don't mention it. I was knocked down by someone who walked without paying attention, and my skirt was torn."
Hearing this, Wen Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you were bullied, how is it? Did you fall down?"
Qiao Shu: "No, my skirt was torn, so I used a male classmate's jacket to cover it up."
Wenwan smiled and came over to tidy up her messy hair: "Your cousin's dormitory has been arranged, let's go home."
On the other hand, Meng Tinglan's mind was filled with the girl in the red dress.
She was like a barbarian who had intruded into his world, staying there forcefully and could not be driven away.
When Meng Tinglan returned home, he ran into his mother who was seeing off a guest.
After the guests left, Meng Tinglan asked curiously, "Mom, who was that person?"
Mother Meng smiled gently and replied, "It's the housekeeper of the Wen family. He came to deliver the invitation. The day after tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Wen family."
"By the way, your brothers are busy, so you can come with me then."
"Oh, what about the one upstairs?" Meng Tinglan said, raising his chin towards the second floor.
The smile on Meng's mother's face faded a little, and she said, "Let her stay at home. If she goes out and causes trouble, she will cause trouble for us again."
Meng Tinglan: "That's great. If she goes, I won't go. I can't afford to lose face."
