Tan Yunshu almost believed what Jing Ling said. After all, it was normal for boys to like watching war movies. But she subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and her intuition was always accurate, so she went through the whole process again from the beginning and tried it herself.
After carrying the giant bear back to the dormitory with the courier girl, she turned on her laptop, selected a war movie on the video website, paid to play it, and dragged the progress bar to the war segment. She turned up the volume to the maximum, then borrowed a cell phone from her roommate, dialed her own number, and after the call was connected, she put the phone next to the computer while keeping the call going. She then took the phone out of the dormitory and put the receiver to her ear.
"Da da da da - boom -" the sounds of gunfire and artillery fire intertwined. The same sound, but it feels different to the ears. And the sentence that was inserted in the middle was too obvious. I was watching a movie, and there happened to be someone making a phone call in the movie. How could there be such a coincidence?
Obviously, what Jing Ling said just now was a lie to her. But why would he lie? What's the point of doing this?
Tan Yunshu thought of a possibility, his eyes suddenly widened, filled with fear, and he stood there in a daze.
"Yunshu, what's wrong with you?" The girl from the next dormitory opened the door and came out. Seeing that her expression was not right, she asked with concern.
She was brought back to reality by the voice. She hung up the phone desperately, then found Jing Ling's number and called, "Please don't be in trouble... Please don't be in trouble..." The waiting time that usually passed in the blink of an eye was infinitely stretched at this moment. Every second seemed as long as a century. She finally heard the voice, but it was the voice she feared the most.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later..." The Chinese part is followed by a paragraph of English, and then the cycle repeats.
Tan Yunshu didn't believe it and called again several times, but still couldn't get through. She was panicking and felt powerless at the same time. "I should have thought of this earlier..."
She knew too well Tan Yunzhong's status in the family. She had held him in her hands since he was a child for fear of him falling, and held him in her mouth for fear of him melting. He was beaten so badly at the Jiang family that day, and the incident was caused by her. With the character of that family, how could they let it go so easily? Not only did he not come to her house to take revenge on her, but there weren't even any phone calls, text messages, or online messages. It was even quieter than if nothing had happened. She actually ignored such an obvious problem just because Jing Ling said it had been resolved.
Was it that she had become insensitive, or was it that his words had a deceptive power that made her believe them involuntarily?
She held her phone in her hand, leaning against the cold wall, and thought a lot. It had only been a few days since they first met, and they could barely be called friends, let alone acquaintances. But thinking back carefully on everything Jing Ling had done, she was so attentive, gentle and considerate that even her best friend couldn't be so attentive. Not to mention he knew her birthday...
Thinking of this, her heart tightened again.
"Please, don't be in any trouble!"
She suddenly felt a vibration in her hand. She was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she quickly raised the phone to her eyes. The moment he saw who was calling, his eyes darkened again. The two-word note was not Jing Ling, but Xin Yao.
She stared at the two words blankly, letting her phone continue to vibrate. Finally, it calmed down and the screen went dark. However, within two seconds, the phone responded again. It was Yang Xinyao calling.
"I've read his fortune before, and you are his destined one." Without any warning, these words suddenly came to her mind.
"Fortune telling..." she whispered, and an idea suddenly popped up in her mind. At the same time, she swiped her finger across the screen and put the phone to her ear, "Xinyao, help me! I want to know where Jing Ling is and what happened!"
"...Huh?" There was silence for a moment, and then the person on the other end responded with a word that was clearly filled with surprise.
Yang Xinyao happened to be passing by the imperial capital, so she called Tan Yunshu to ask him out for fun. Unexpectedly, the first thing she asked after the call was to ask about Jing Ling's situation.
"I say, Yunshu, it's okay for Jing Ling to forget his friends for the sake of a beautiful woman, but you must not learn from him!" In the private room of the milk tea shop in front of the school, Yang Xinyao said to Tan Yunshu while biting the straw of her drink. At this time, almost half an hour had passed since the two of them ended their conversation.
Her tone was obviously joking, but Tan Yunshu was not in the mood at the moment, "Xinyao, you said before that you can tell fortunes, right? Please help me, I called Jing Ling about forty minutes ago and heard gunshots. He lied to me and said he was watching a movie, but I tested it later and it was not the case at all. After that, I couldn't get through to him again...Xinyao, Jing Ling will be fine, right?"
Before this, Tan Yunshu was a staunch atheist. Instead of praying to gods and hoping for illusory favor, it was more realistic to work hard with his own hands. But at this moment, she couldn't help but start praying, hoping that person would be safe.
Compared to her nervousness, Yang Xinyao didn't seem to take it to heart at all. She waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, your Jing Ling is the reincarnation of Superman. Nothing will happen to him. Before he left, I calculated for him. Although the process was thrilling, he was safe and sound. The reason why he couldn't get through the phone was probably because his phone accidentally fell into the water or something."
"Don't worry, I promise he will be fine and will be back soon, so let's put his matter aside for now and talk about business. As the saying goes, only delicious food and beautiful women are worth living up to, so I passed by here and came to play with you, a beautiful lady. You must at least do your part as a host and take me out to eat some delicious food, right?"
"……good."
"Let's go, let's go eat something delicious!"
"Xinyao, what do you mean when you say Jingling and I are destined to be together?"
"It means literally that you two are destined to meet and fall in love at first sight. After all, fate is something illusory, and no one can say for sure that it can be calculated accurately, not to mention that his fate is so weird."
Yang Xinyao's guess was correct. Jing Ling really did accidentally drop his phone into the water, or rather, into the river. He hid in a tree and looked for an opportunity to eliminate the enemy. When the enemy's figure appeared in his sight, he hung upside down from the tree, aimed and fired. At the moment the gunshot rang out, accompanied by the sound of falling into the water, it was his cell phone.
The water in that section of the river was deep and muddy, so it was a bit difficult to retrieve the phone, so he gave up.
After he dealt with the pursuers, he successfully returned to the top of the mountain to reunite with the main force and left by helicopter. More than an hour had passed. He borrowed Captain Feihu's cell phone to call Tan Yunshu back, and simply explained that he had gone out to do something. She did not doubt it. After chatting for a few minutes, she suddenly asked him if he would be in school this weekend. She and Yang Xinyao came to play with him.
To thank him for his birthday present, she planned to treat him to a meal.
Jing Ling knew her too well and knew that this was definitely not her true thought but just an excuse. Something must have happened during the time when his phone was lost, but since she didn't say anything, he didn't ask and only answered her question, "Yes, see you on the weekend, I'll pick you up at the airport then." By then he had already returned to school.
Time soon came to the weekend, and Jing Ling set out for the airport at noon. It was a half-hour journey, and after arriving at the airport, he waited for nearly twenty minutes before he finally found the person.
He walked over with a smile and naturally took the suitcase from Tan Yunshu, but his hand was suddenly grabbed by her, and then he heard her ask, "Jing Ling, you like me, right?"
"Why do you think of asking this question?" Jing Ling looked at her.
"You just have to answer yes or no, or nod or shake your head." She tilted her head slightly, pursed her lips, and her eyes were stubborn.
"Yes, I like you." Jing Ling not only answered, but also nodded.
The next moment, Tan Yunshu suddenly let go of the suitcase, put his arms around his neck instead, and then stood on tiptoe.
A kiss with a sweet fragrance fell on the lips.
