Chapter 73 The Power of Love
After much hesitation, she agreed to go to the welcome party as there was nothing to do at the beginning of the school year and Luo Yun also wanted to go.
She specifically sent a message to Li Ran, saying that she wanted to go to their art troupe's meeting room or training ground, anyway, she had to confirm that they were this organization.
Li Ran was in a meeting when he saw the message from Lin Shuliang. He found an excuse to leave and sent her the detailed address. He also said, "It's right here in the art building. If you can't find it, call me on the voice phone and I'll pick you up."
"Yeah, OK, thank you!" She applied sunscreen all over before going out, because she was wearing a dress with a collar and a waistcoat, so she definitely had to do enough sun protection.
There was a huge crowd outside, it was just time for school to end.
She met Luo Yun in the lobby on the first floor of her dormitory. "The meal is on the table. I'm going to go see the art troupe. If possible, I plan to join. I've prepared a VIP seat for you."
"Good buddy, go ahead. By the way, Xu Chen is in the shop next to our dormitory. He just asked me where I was, and I said I was in the dormitory. It seems that he wants to see you for something, and you can just run into him when you go out." Luo Yun was holding a popsicle in his hand, his face was sunburned red, and he looked like a primary school student.
She lowered Luo Yun's hat and said, "I know, go back and have dinner."
When she went to get takeout, she really ran into Xu Chen, who was holding a cup of milk tea in his hand. "It's fate that brings us together. I met him without even calling him."
She took the milk tea and said, "Luo Yun told me that you were looking for me, so I came here on purpose. It's not that fate, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Let's go to that milk tea bar and sit down and talk." Xu Chen did not forget to give her a call.
"Don't be angry, I don't have an antenna and can't receive it." Lin Shuliang rolled her eyes and walked to the front.
Now he seemed to be much more normal than a few days ago. Xu Chen was very relieved. "Have you changed your personality? You are not as awkward as before."
"What nonsense." Lin Shuliang chose a seat near the door, sat down, and looked at Xu Chen with her chin in her hands.
"Don't look at me so lovingly. I feel embarrassed and too nervous to speak." He also imitated Lin Shuliang's movements and tilted his head to the back.
"If you don't want to talk, I'm leaving." Having known him for such a long time, Lin Shuliang understood him a little bit. If she continued to be rude to him, he would be rude for the whole day.
"Don't..." Xu Chen pulled her, "Sit down, come back and sit down and I'll tell you."
Lin Shuliang went back and sat down. "Two minutes."
"Well, a friend of mine who is in the student union wants to invite you to the welcome party."
What a coincidence!
"Does University A have several welcome parties? The university art troupe also invited me to attend." University is different. There is a lot of free time and many choices.
"Art troupe?" Xu Chen asked. "There's nothing we can do about it. Do you agree?"
Lin Shuliang nodded.
"Well, actually they all hold the same one, but there are also times when there are a lot of cases, because the host will say which organization the program is from when introducing it." Xu Chen explained, "They are really well-informed. How did they find you so quickly?"
Lin Shuliang spread her hands and put the chat record in front of him. "It happened a few days ago. I was bored in the dormitory, and Luo Yun also wanted to go see handsome guy, so I went. But I haven't found him yet, so I don't know the exact location."
"I'll take you there." He reached out to pull Lin Shuliang's collar, "Come with me."
When they were pulled outside to a crowded place, many people were staring at them. Lin Shuliang shook his hand away and said, "Just talk, why are you using your hands and feet?"
"You bite me."
"You can't smell the sweat on your body, right?" Lin Shuliang said with disgust.
The two of them played around like they used to, but the atmosphere wasn't so awkward anymore.
Li Ran had been waiting downstairs for a long time, but he didn't expect that there were two people coming. He stared at Xu Chen from a distance and hid the lemonade in his hand behind him.
"Li Ran." Lin Shuliang greeted, "Okay, go back, I know where it is."
"Li Ran, right?" Xu Chen looked at him and asked.
What is this, a man's intuition? He had long felt that this boy had been looking at Lin Shuliang, and would also look at him from time to time.
"Hello, Xu Chen." He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Xu Chen. He could no longer hide the lemonade, so he handed it to Lin Shuliang. "They bought too much just now. I've drunk it."
"I just drank a big cup of milk tea, thank you." Lin Shuliang really couldn't drink any more.
Xu Chen was very outgoing. "Let me drink it. I didn't have time to drink it just now." He quickly took it and took a big sip. "It tastes really good! Which store is it from? I'll go buy it next time."
"It's the one at the very end of the street on Wenhua Road," said Li Ran.
"Are the people in your art troupe in sync? You even know where they bought it." Xu Chen only admires people like Shen Xinghe who confront him directly. Otherwise, he would be a stubborn person.
Only he could do such a thing as seeing through something without pointing it out.
"Don't worry about choking yourself, hurry up and leave." Lin Shuliang glared at him, "Li Ran, let's go up."
"Wait a minute." Xu Chen called her, stuffed the lemonade into her hand, and then helped her straighten her collar. "You don't even know your clothes are in a mess." It sounded like the intimate words between lovers. He deliberately lowered his voice, but Li Ran next to him could hear it clearly.
Lin Shuliang knew he did it on purpose, so she didn't say anything and left with Li Ran.
Li Ran stood by and watched them. As he went upstairs, he said, "Xu Chen is very nice to you."
"Yeah." Lin Shuliang did not explain. According to Xu Chen's behavior, he should think that Li Ran likes her. She has no interest or energy to deal with these people's likes, so it's fine this way.
Li Ran had a gloomy expression and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He followed her silently, watching her slender back.
After meeting the members of the art troupe one by one, they were all very happy that Lin Shuliang had joined. Some of those who studied dance and had heard of her name came over to say hello to her.
But Lin Shuliang only knew Li Ran, so she asked him, "If I prepare a show, do you have any requirements?"
"Some people suggested that you dance your work from the Taoli Cup, 'Spring Birth', because our party is only a week later, and there may not be enough time to prepare a new program." He had selfish motives and wanted to see her dance again in a different identity.
"Okay, if you guys can do it, I can do it too. Although I'm using Spring Birth, I'll still make some adjustments. I'll go back and prepare first. If you need rehearsal or anything else, let me know."
Lin Shuliang left and the art troupe held an internal meeting.
"Li Ran, what program does Lin Shuliang plan to present?" asked the chairman.
"My suggestion to her is her Taoli Cup work "Spring Birth"."
"This has already been aired before, will it not feel fresh?"
"She said she would adjust, and I believe in her ability."
Some people who had opinions about Li Ran immediately started to speak in a sarcastic tone, "Li Ran became the vice president when he was a freshman, so he naturally has his own way of judging. Even if something goes wrong, he won't let us bear the responsibility, right?"
"Yes, I will take full responsibility for any problems she has. Even if the school has any opinions, they will be my responsibility." Li Ran made a harsh statement.
Jiang Wei tried to smooth things over, "Fang Hao, don't mind what Li Ran said. He's always like this, you know. Li Ran, please be polite when talking to Fang Hao."
Fang Hao joined the art troupe with them and studied media. Originally, the three of them had a good relationship, but when it came time to elect the vice chairman, he competed with Li Ran and lost.
He always thought that the reason why Li Ran was selected was because his family had invested in the school.
The presidium of the school-level organization of University A is different from that of ordinary schools. Being able to hold this position means having a lot of resources and tickets to attend some related events, which has many benefits. People like them who work in the media need to make themselves familiar to some bigwigs.
But this opportunity was snatched away by Li Ran, so he felt resentful and dissatisfied with Li Ran in various ways.
Everyone knows their style, and no one says anything. There aren't that many enthusiastic people in college.
Fortunately, Li Ran was not a good person. He left after explaining the matter clearly.
Jiang Wei followed him and said excitedly, "In the past, you always kept your words to yourself and never confronted him head-on. Something is wrong with you today. Are you trying to win the championship for your beloved?"
"Don't talk about it. I want to do it for Hongyan. She has a boyfriend."
"So fast! Didn't you just enter school?"
"She and Xu Chen went to the same high school, so they were probably boyfriend and girlfriend. I remember there was a competition in her senior year, and she was accompanied by a boy, who must have been Xu Chen." As he spoke, Li Ran's mood became a little lower.
"Whether she's married or not, it's not surprising for such an outstanding girl like her to have a boyfriend. As long as you have a good head, there is no corner that you can't dig." Jiang Wei is an optimistic person, but he also tends to think things are simple.
Li Ran glanced at him and didn't continue talking about this matter. "By the way, when arranging the seats, you have to leave dozens of seats. Isn't there a university town next door to us? Some people will come to try living here recently, and there are several famous universities. Our school will definitely invite them to watch the party."
"It's already hard to get a ticket, and yet there are still so many left." He sighed, "Are fifty seats enough?"
Li Ran thought for a moment and said, "This is the limit for now. I'll communicate with you when we need to add more."
…
Shen Xinghe was programming when Jiang Yang walked in with a smile on his face. "Do you know which university has the most beautiful girls?"
"I don't know." He wasn't interested either.
"A University!" Jiang Yang smiled, "A sacred place for beauties!"
This name made him look at Jiang Yang, "There are quite a lot of beauties." Because Lin Shuliang was also there.
"Really? Even you think so." Jiang Yang was lying on the hanging chair. "We can go there and enjoy some time in a few days."
Shen Xinghe stopped moving his hands instantly and turned his head. "What did you say?"
"Our school has a new campus there, and our major is moving there. We will arrange for some freshmen to go there and try out the dormitories and teaching buildings."
He closed his computer and quickly walked to Jiang Yang's side. "Where did you get the news? Who said it? Is there an official notice? Why are you looking at me? Show it to me quickly. By the way, is this confirmed, or is it..."
Jiang Yang was stunned. What kind of mysterious power could make the cold male god so crazy?
Of course it’s the power of love!
