After ending the call with Editor Li, Lin Xiao quickly changed his clothes and drove to Lanting Yayuan.
As soon as she entered, You Wanjun rushed over.
The sight of the soft, fragrant woman in his arms made Lin Xiao pause slightly in surprise.
A moment later, Lin Xiao reached out and patted You Wanjun's soft, slender shoulders and back, and said with a smile, "Junjun, let me change my shoes first."
You Wanjun moved behind Lin Xiao, wrapped her arms around him from behind, and hummed, "You change."
Lin Xiao chuckled helplessly and had no choice but to change his shoes, albeit somewhat awkwardly.
Yu Wanjun was pressed against Lin Xiao's tall and sturdy body from behind, and the two walked towards the living room step by step like conjoined twins.
The two sat down on the sofa, but You Wanjun insisted on sitting next to Lin Xiao, right next to him.
She hugged Lin Xiao's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.
Then he let out a heavy sigh.
Lin Xiao asked with a smile, "Jun Jun, what's wrong with you? You look both happy and worried."
You Wanjun paused for a moment before saying, "I've taken on a movie role and I'll be joining the crew tomorrow. The filming schedule is very tight, and the director is very powerful and has a domineering personality. As the lead actor, I definitely won't be able to get time off to come back and see you."
Lin Xiaomo's dark eyes flickered slightly. He thought that it would be good to have Sunday free; at least he would have a day off.
It's perfect for drawing; I can easily complete my tasks without having to stay up all night.
So he laughed and asked, "How long will it take?"
You Wanjun felt a little better knowing that Lin Xiao was also reluctant to let her go.
"It's not a big-budget production, it's a realistic one. It will take three or four months if it's slow, and two or three months if it's fast. I'll try to come back to see you around New Year's Day."
Lin Xiao hummed in response, "Jun Jun, tell me, what's the story of this movie?"
You Wanjun gazed intently and spoke slowly, "This movie is about a newlywed wife whose husband dies in an accident, leaving her with his unborn child..."
...
...
Lin Xiao drove out of Lanting Yayuan, merged into the traffic, and headed towards the school.
The moon sets and the sun rises; Monday has come again.
As usual, Lin Xiao got up early to exercise, ate breakfast, and worked on his graduation project.
He ordered takeout for lunch, one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and with a coupon, it only cost 29 yuan in total, but he ate it with great relish.
After finishing his meal, he packed up the takeout containers and took them to the trash can in the stairwell outside to throw them away.
What Lin Xiao didn't know was that someone went to the stir-fry window on the second floor of the second canteen to look for him.
Not seeing Lin Xiao, Bai Youyou's clear and bright eyes were filled with disappointment.
Bai Youyou glanced at her phone; Sang Ting had sent her a voice message:
[Youyou, Lin Xiao hasn't come to the third canteen. I've searched everywhere, inside and out, but I can't find him! Have you found anything?]
Bai Youyou's eyes were filled with gloom, and she replied with two words in a depressed mood: 【No. *sobs* (emoji)
Sang Ting replied instantly: [Don't cry. emoji]
[Youyou, how about you invite the people from dorm 808 to have hot pot in dorm 901 in the group chat? Senior Lin Xiao will definitely come along. Then you can ask him what he's really thinking.]
Bai Youyou's eyes lit up. [Great. Emoji]
"Then come with me to buy some meat tonight. My senior likes fatty beef and bacon."
Sang Ting: [No problem. Emoji]
So at 1 p.m., Lin Xiao saw that Bai Youyou had invited him to a hot pot dinner in the group chat.
Aquaman has already agreed.
Before long, Bird Brother and Wei Ye also agreed.
Sang Ting also chattered on, saying she had bought a lot of meat and was going to have a big feast that night.
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment. Recently, he had deliberately avoided meeting Bai Youyou in order to end the business deal completely.
But unexpectedly, Sang Tingla's rice-cooking group is still putting its remaining value to use.
He wanted to leave the group chat, but felt that doing so might be too deliberate.
Even if a deal falls through, goodwill should remain.
Moreover, the deal between him and Bai Youyou wasn't that it couldn't be done; it was that the deal was over. Since it was done, the subtle feelings between them still remained.
So he thought about it and replied with an OK emoji.
After waking up from his afternoon nap, Lin Xiao tidied himself up and drove to Snow Dance Manor.
Nothing special happened that day.
As usual, Meng Fanxue and he played chess and enjoyed tea together, and then took Tangtang for a walk outside.
It was windy today, so the two of them flew a kite together.
The kite was said to have been painted by Meng Fanxue herself, depicting a fairy-like figure, like a celestial maiden, dancing.
Meng Fanxue invited Lin Xiao to stay for dinner as usual. Zhao Ma said there would be rabbit meat today, but Lin Xiao declined, saying he had plans with his roommate.
Zhao Ma seemed even more disappointed than Meng Fanxue, muttering, "Today's rabbits are even plumper than last time! I wonder if they'll get thinner if we let them stay for another week."
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "No need to wait for me. I'll make it for President Fan tonight. Don't make President Fan feel wronged."
Meng Fanxue's heart stirred. She looked at Lin Xiao and said softly with a smile, "No rush. It's settled then, we'll eat together next time."
Lin Xiao could only nod and smile, "I'll definitely do it next time. Thank you, Mr. Fan, and thank you, Aunt Zhao."
As darkness fell, Bird Brother and the others returned from get off work and went directly to room 901 of the Youth Education Apartment.
Bai Youyou and Sang Ting were constantly busy at home, washing and preparing vegetables, cooking rice, washing dishes, and simmering chicken soup base.
...
Bird and the others couldn't help, so they sat in the living room, turned on the projector, and watched a variety show.
Lin Xiao went downstairs and pressed the doorbell number 901. When Hai Wang heard the doorbell ring, he ran over to answer it and opened the unit door for Lin Xiao.
A short while later, Lin Xiao came in.
He changed into his navy blue men's slippers and greeted his roommates with a smile.
"Wow, you guys didn't even go back to your dorms, you came straight here!"
Neptune laughed, "Of course! We're always the most enthusiastic when it comes to meals. Besides, Junior Bai is treating us to hot pot, and I haven't had hot pot in ages. I'm so craving it."
Lin Xiao chatted with his roommates for a bit before heading to the kitchen.
Seeing Bai Youyou and Sang Ting busy running around, "Junior Bai, Junior Sang, thank you for your hard work!"
Bai Youyou turned around and saw Lin Xiao. Her eyes lit up, and she smiled, revealing a pair of cute and charming dimples.
"Senior, you're here!" A hint of joy was revealed in the cool and innocent voice.
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he hummed in response, instinctively about to ask, "Do you need my help?"
But the next moment, he suddenly realized that he was just like his roommates outside, a guest. They were all sitting down, and it would seem too proactive and unreserved for him to go and help them.
So he quietly slipped out and joined his roommates in their banter.
Inside the kitchen.
Sang Ting, holding a lettuce leaf in her hand, walked to Bai Youyou's side and whispered:
"Youyou, after we finish eating, I'll call Bird Brother and the others to leave first, so you and Lin Xiao can have some time alone."
Bai Youyou was chopping scallions with her sleeves rolled up when she heard this, and nodded, "Okay! Then I'll leave it to you, Tingting."
"Don't worry, I've got your back!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
