Chapter 74: Suitable for Missing
"Where? Next to A University!" Li Panxi asked in surprise, the disposable cup in her hand was squeezed out of shape.
"Yeah." Her roommate had never seen her like this before. She had always been the epitome of a goddess. "But what's wrong with you? You reacted so strongly."
"No...it's okay. I'm just a little happy. I have a good friend who studies there. When I heard that I might go there, I was a little excited." She turned her back to her roommate, crumpled the cup into a ball, and threw it into the trash can. "Have you confirmed the time?"
"It seems so. The counselor said that students from both arts and science majors will move in. This is just a trial stay. We should move in next semester."
"Well, my friend would be very happy if he knew I was there. I'm going to go out and make a phone call." As she said this, she took out her cell phone, chose a coat from the closet, and planned to go to the rooftop.
"It's hot outside, why do you bring a coat?"
"I'm afraid I'll get cold if I talk for too long." She smiled, "Please open the door then."
When she got to the rooftop, she looked around and saw no one. She walked to a darker place, where there were no people. She took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, took a deep breath, and cursed, "Lin Shuliang, you really are haunting me. Since we are so destined to meet, I would be sorry if I didn't say hello to you."
After finishing her cigarette, she threw it on the ground and stomped on it a few times before going back.
…
Lin Shuliang was late for dance practice again, and it suddenly started to rain heavily. The people around her were picked up one after another.
In fact, she could just make a phone call, but she didn't because she didn't want to trouble others. But if Shen Xinghe was here, would she feel embarrassed to bother him?
She smiled bitterly and rushed into the rain. As soon as she left, Li Ran brought an umbrella, but the dance studio was empty.
Luo Yun was doing military training and she was practicing dancing, so the two of them only met at night.
She found a milk tea shop at school that was delicious and had plenty of milk tea. She wanted to take Luo Yun there but didn't have time.
She thought, if Shen Xinghe were there, she would definitely drag Shen Xinghe to taste it and then cheat him out of it.
Lin Shuliang didn't realize that she always thought of Shen Xinghe since they separated.
She would think about him when she was happy, sad, or when she encountered something delicious or fun. She didn't know why. She thought that she had a very good relationship with Shen Xinghe. Even if they quarreled when they were together, it was normal to miss him when they were apart.
Just like now, when she was practicing dancing, she could still think of the scene when she was talking to Shen Xinghe at the door of the dance studio of No. 1 Middle School. She accidentally sprained her ankle and sat aside to rest.
At that time, she woke up early in the morning and thought she had sprained her ankle, so she called Shen Xinghe over and even carried him like a princess...
She was grinning foolishly when Luo Yun called again!
Because this was her last day of military training, she was extremely happy.
As soon as the party ended, he went to the supermarket and bought a lot of food, saying it was for celebration. He also kept calling Lin Shuliang to ask what she wanted to eat.
"Ms. Luo Yun, I've told you, I'm in the dance studio now, use your phone to play music, don't keep calling me." She said while rubbing her foot, thinking: Fortunately, my foot injury is not serious.
"Oh, you just said you don't want bread, how about some fruit? My tear-jerking grandchildren time is finally over, don't you plan to celebrate with me?" Luo Yun paused, "You can't say you don't plan."
Lin Shuliang simply couldn't do anything about her. "I like everything you bought. Let's do this for now. I'll finish practicing it for the last time and then I'll come back to celebrate with you. What do you think?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Luo Yun hung up the phone with satisfaction.
The dance she choreographed this time has more modern elements than the last "Spring Birth". Since it is a welcome party, it should be more innovative and easier to be liked. With so many new students, it must give people some surprise.
Although her basic skills are still there, there were no competitions during the summer vacation, so she just had fun. Plus, due to her grandmother's affairs, she basically didn't train much. She has been in the dance studio these days.
You will always pay the price for your past actions, it's just a matter of time.
She practiced several pieces, following the music, and only stopped when she felt it was enough. She changed her clothes and prepared to go back to the dormitory. If she was a little slower, Luo Yun would probably start to urge her again.
She was closing the door when Li Ran came out of the elevator, holding an egg pie in his hand. "I said I'd bring you something to eat."
He has been doing this for the past few days, and even though Lin Shuliang obviously refused, he still enjoys doing it.
"You must accept it today. I've sent it to you so many times, but you didn't accept it. It's really frustrating."
Lin Shuliang had no choice but to take it. "Thank you, senior." She smelled the scent. "It smells good."
"It's fresh out of the oven, how can it not smell good? Are you going back to the dormitory? I'll take you there. My dormitory is just above yours anyway."
"Then you should say we're going together." Lin Shuliang said jokingly, "You art students all like to do this. It's obviously just a coincidence, but you have to say it so romantically."
"Aren't you studying art?" Li Ran asked with a smile.
They were the only ones in the elevator, so luckily they were talking and the atmosphere wasn't too awkward.
"How's the dance preparation going?" Li Ran asked as he walked downstairs.
"I'm practicing, it's OK."
"I feel relieved when you say that. You are the trump card of our art troupe. I heard that the student union in the school wanted to poach you, but I got there first." Someone had looked for Lin Shuliang, and their art troupe knew about it a long time ago, so they said that if Lin Shuliang couldn't come up with a decent show, their art troupe would be the one to be humiliated.
"No, Xu Chen just said it casually, it's not that serious." Lin Shuliang just wanted to walk faster.
A school bus came by, and Lin Shuliang said, "Let's take the bus. I've been practicing dancing all day and I'm a little tired."
Li Ran was a little hesitant. He actually wanted to take a walk with Lin Shuliang.
But Lin Shuliang had already boarded the bus. "Senior, I've already bought the ticket. Come on up."
He had no choice but to go up, but there was no seat next to Lin Shuliang, so he sat in the front and said nothing along the way.
Lin Shuliang thought he would take the car up, but he got off together. "It's not far from here. I'll see you go in before you go."
"..." Lin Shuliang nodded, "Thank you, senior, and your cake. Thank you. I'm leaving now."
"Yeah." Lin Shuliang left, and Li Ran chased after her, "By the way, Shuliang, have you copied your music?"
"No, no one informed me. I said I would ask you when the time comes, but I forgot."
Fang Hao was in charge of this matter. As expected, he deliberately omitted Lin Shuliang. At the noon meeting, everyone was still talking about having transferred all the music.
"Go back and send me one, and I'll help you resubmit it." Li Ran knew this matter was a bit troublesome, as the welcome party would be the day after tomorrow. "Yours is a piano piece, right?"
"Yeah, that's right." She nodded and immediately transferred the message to him from her phone. "This is it. It's usually hard to receive it online."
"OK, you can go back." Li Ran left in a hurry. He was busy handing over the music to the person in charge of the stage.
Luo Yun was alone in the dormitory, playing music at a deafening volume, and he also called people around the dormitory, making it very noisy.
This was the first time since I came to this school that there was such a commotion. Lin Shuliang couldn't wait to join in, "I'm back!"
We all had gone through military training together, so we knew each other and started playing together in no time.
They secretly bought some wine, just for fun, adding a little to their drinks as a token of their appreciation.
Lin Shuliang can't drink alcohol. She feels dizzy after drinking just a little.
She went to the balcony to enjoy the fresh air, and her cell phone rang in her pocket. She saw it was Shen Xinghe, and her lips couldn't help but raise, "Xinghe."
With just this sound, Shen Xinghe felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his whole body felt uncomfortable. "Have you been drinking?"
"Yeah, a little bit," she nodded.
Someone inside called her, "Shuliang, hurry up, don't hide."
"Come right up, I'm going to make a call." She turned on the tap and splashed some cold water on her face. "What do you want to call me about?"
"Can't I find you if I have nothing to do?" She always said this every time she called him. Shen Xinghe was getting impatient. "You just went to college and you've already found a place? You're running around so quickly."
Still the tone of a butler.
"No, we just finished the military training today. I was happy, so I played in the dormitory for a while." Lin Shuliang's patience with him was really increasing day by day, especially in the more than a month since they hadn't seen each other. She seemed to be more dependent on Shen Xinghe and always wanted him to be by her side.
"In your dormitory?"
"You are so smart, hehe..."
This voice, like a spell, poured into his ears, "Speak nicely." He originally wanted to say that he would go back to University A tomorrow, but now he didn't want to say it anymore.
"I was saying it nicely." She still felt aggrieved.
At this time, a girl ran out to the balcony, "Shuliang, I heard that you will perform at the welcome party?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Please bring me some tickets, please, please, please."
Lin Shuliang lifted her chin and said, "Since you've asked, I will definitely satisfy you! Give me a kiss first."
The intimate voices of two girls came from the other end. Shen Xinghe subconsciously put the phone away with a look of disgust.
"Shen Xinghe, why don't you say anything? Hello?"
He then leaned over and said, "You should wash up and go to bed early. Don't run out. You can't go anywhere. You can only move around in the dormitory. It's best to go to bed right away. I'm not by your side. If you run out, no one will look for you."
"That's right, then why aren't you by my side!" Lin Shuliang blurted out, completely unaware of how ambiguous her words were.
Shen Xinghe held the phone tighter, "Well, it's all my fault."
Maybe it was the sadness of being away from home for so many days, as well as the accumulated emotions, that Lin Shuliang actually started sobbing because of what he said, "Shen Xinghe is the most annoying. When he's not by my side, no one sends me an umbrella, and I can't share delicious food. It's better to be in Yuncheng, right?"
Shen Xinghe smoked again. It was raining over here, and the smoke he exhaled disappeared in the rain, turning into a hazy mist. "As long as you are here, anywhere is fine."
She didn't hear clearly, and the person on the other end was really pushing her, so she hung up.
Rainy nights are the best time to miss someone.
