Chapter 84 The Only Rose on My Planet
Lin Shuliang was making a lot of noise, and Luo Yun felt something was wrong. She was chatting with Jiang Yang, so she said: My little darling seems to be crying, I'll go and comfort him.
Jiang Yang read it and replied to her: You don't understand romance. Don't move. I'll ask Lao Shen to go and it will be more efficient.
Shen Xinghe was on the balcony, thinking about how to solve the problem, smoking one cigarette after another.
Jiang Yang opened the door and said, "I heard from Luo Yun that Lin Shuliang seemed to be crying. She said she wanted to comfort her. I asked her to give you this opportunity."
"I know." His brows furrowed even deeper. Why was Lin Shuliang crying? She was not usually like this. He quickly checked online and there were indeed some bad comments. Did she see them?
Lin Shuliang did read it, but what made her lose control of her emotions was not the nonsense on the Internet, but her mother's gentleness.
Shen Xinghe went online to look for some cute emoticons, and when he sent the WeChat message to her, he carefully selected a little rabbit that said "Are you there?"
Her reply was simple, what's wrong?
Nothing, just wanted to ask if you are here. I am a bit bored, can I call you?
Yeah, sure.
After seeing this, he went to Baidu and spent a long time selecting the content before calling, "Are you still awake?"
"No, I was just chatting with my mom."
Now he knew why Lin Shuliang was sad.
"Well, instead of reading jokes today, I'll read you fairy tales. We have Mandarin classes and I need to practice. Just pretend you have nothing to do and listen." He found a lame excuse.
Lin Shuliang smiled, "You also offer Mandarin?"
"Well, just consider it as a favor, OK?"
"Okay~" She stretched out the last syllable of her voice, and it was funny to think of Shen Xinghe reading word by word.
"Then I'll read The Little Prince." He put on the headphones he had prepared and began to read: "When I was only six years old, I saw a wonderful illustration in a book called True Stories that described the primeval forest. It showed a python swallowing a big beast. The copy of that painting is on the top of the page.
The book states: "These pythons swallow their prey whole without chewing it, and are then unable to move; they digest their food during a long six-month sleep."
At that time, I thought a lot about the adventures in the jungle, so I also drew my first picture with colored pencils. My first work. It was like this..."
Lin Shuliang had read this book before. She read it with Shen Xinghe when they were in junior high school. Shen Xinghe went to borrow it and she snatched it away to read.
She really liked the little prince. Even if she saw thousands of roses, she thought the one on his planet was the most beautiful.
She listened fascinatedly, "Tell me, are poisonous snakes good or bad?"
"It depends on how you look at it. It bit the little prince, which was bad, but it was also because of it that the little prince was able to return to his own planet and see the rose he had been dreaming about. You could say it made the little prince successful." He drank some water and continued, "Many times, as long as you learn to use it, bad things can turn into good things."
"I feel like you are my life mentor, teaching me how to get out of this predicament. Haha... your serious look is a bit funny." Lin Shuliang smiled.
At least he laughed. After hearing that, Luo Yun and Shen Xinghe felt much more relieved.
"I'm not trying to comfort you. I'm trying to share the story of the Little Prince with you."
"Okay, okay, I won't disturb you. Please continue. I may need to go to sleep."
"Go to sleep." After saying that, Shen Xinghe continued.
Shen Xinghe read from the beginning to the end. As she listened, she fell into a deep sleep. She dreamed of the Little Prince’s planet, where she accompanied the Little Prince and watched 44 sunsets.
Jiang Yang saw that he was still outside, "Shen Xinghe, are you planning to sleep outside?"
He was so scared that he quickly pressed the mute button and said, "Shut up, I'm on the phone."
This time he went directly to the rooftop, fearing that Jiang Yang would disturb Lin Shuliang.
He stopped only after hearing steady breathing from the other side and said, "Good night."
He had been standing, and when he was about to get down, his feet were frozen. It was a bit cold in the autumn night.
…
Early in the morning, Lin Shuliang's cell phone was hacked. Needless to say, someone must have spread her number.
There may be some people who care about her, but there are more people cursing her. She couldn't sleep well on the weekend and turned off her phone.
Luo Yun was taking a shower when her cell phone rang. "Shuliang, answer the phone for me."
She just got up and saw it was Shen Xinghe, so she picked up the phone. Before she could say anything, the other party said, "Luo Yun, please ask Shuliang to answer the phone."
"I am. What's wrong?"
"Are you up yet?"
"Um."
"Then come down, I'll be waiting for you downstairs in your dormitory."
"Why are you here?"
"When we meet, remember to bring your cell phone and computer."
Jiang Yang stood by with an unhappy look on his face, "Can't you just mention that I'm here?"
"You called Luo Yun yourself, and it was Shuliang who answered the call."
"Tsk...you value women over friendship to such an extent!" Jiang Yang glanced at him.
After a while, Lin Shuliang hurried out the door, "I'm leaving first, Shen Xinghe is downstairs."
"So romantic, and yet they also launch a surprise attack!" Luo Yun was applying a facial mask and couldn't even finish his words.
She didn't have time to reply and ran downstairs.
Seeing Jiang Yang was there, she regretted not asking Luo Yun to come down. Jiang Yang understood from her expression, "Don't worry about me. You go first. I'll call Luo Yun and bring her to see you."
Who would have thought that Shen Xinghe had no intention of waiting for him, "Let's go."
They went to a nearby milk tea shop, and Shen Xinghe took her phone from her. "You have a lot of calls and text messages, right? I forgot to remind you yesterday. Today is the weekend, so I came to help you sort it out."
"Solve what?"
"Of course, prevent those garbage from reaching your phone." Shen Xinghe said, his hands starting to move.
Lin Shuliang sat quietly beside him, feeling a little bored. He unlocked his phone and handed it to Lin Shuliang, "Play the game yourself."
She was secretly happy that her hands were busy, but when she took the phone, the wallpaper on it was a photo of the two of them.
She didn't remember the photo, but knew it was taken on Zhongshan Road. She locked the screen and said, "I don't want to play anymore."
Shen Xinghe saw her awkward expression and then remembered the wallpaper. He smiled and said, "Did you see it?"
"I didn't see anything. I went to buy food."
"I have your phone here, how are you going to pay?"
She went to the door and then fell back.
Shen Xinghe fiddled with it for a long time and finally got it right. "During this period, only people in your address book can contact you. All messages and calls from unknown numbers will be automatically blocked."
"It's so amazing, I even said I would change my number."
"You changed your number using your ID card, so you can find it whenever you want. Go buy some food, and I'll set up your computer."
I came all the way here just to set up a cell phone and computer for her. To be able to go to their school at this time, she must have left home very early.
Shen Xinghe was so good to her, she had to think it over carefully, and once she knew clearly that she also liked Shen Xinghe, she would agree to be with him.
If I don't think about it carefully, I will be sorry for him. Lin Shuliang always believed that if she liked someone, it would not be because she liked that person for being good to her, but because she liked him simply and their hearts were close to each other.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she met Luo Yun and Jiang Yang walking towards the dormitory. Luo Yun was almost smiling like a flower.
She didn't want to be a light bulb, but Luo Yun saw her, "Shuliang!"
She stopped and said, "I'm going to buy some food, would you like to join me?"
"Okay, you came so early in the morning. We haven't eaten yet." In order to save Shen Xinghe's face, Jiang Yang didn't say that he was dragged here by him.
As the three of them walked, Lin Shuliang wanted to find a topic to talk about, "I heard from Xinghe that you also offer Mandarin classes?"
Jiang Yang was surprised. "How can we offer such a subject when there are so many specialized courses? You may have heard it wrongly."
Then Shen Xinghe said that on purpose yesterday, and said he was helping.
She nodded. "Is that so—"
No one knew about their habit of telling jokes and stories to each other without any reservation.
Luo Yun said: "Shen Xinghe said anything to tease you."
She waved her hands, "No, I misunderstood. I thought his Mandarin was not good enough, so I asked him to sign up for a class, and he casually mentioned that there was such a class."
Jiang Yang jumped out, "Your requirements are too high. The station manager has approached him several times, either to ask him how to broadcast or to ask him to go to the station."
This could not be said. Luo Yun glared at him: "Do you really think those women came to Shen Xinghe for the broadcasting matter? Then why didn't they come to you?"
He subconsciously said, "Look for me too."
"!!!" Luo Yun stood still, looking aggrieved.
Lin Shuliang noticed that the atmosphere was not right and said, "I'm leaving first. There will be a lot of people here soon. You guys can just go to the milk tea shop and wait for me."
In fact, it is not new that Shen Xinghe is popular, but she still feels a little uncomfortable when she thinks of those beautiful and sweet-voiced young ladies hanging around Shen Xinghe. No wonder Luo Yun suddenly got angry.
Jiang Yang really doesn't know how to hide his true feelings when he speaks.
She went back with a bunch of food, but didn't see Luo Yun and the others.
"Luo Yun and Jiang Yang didn't come?"
"No." Shen Xinghe said.
She put a straw in the milk and passed it to him. "You're not going to hide from the quarrel, are you?"
As she spoke, she tore open the bread packaging and handed it to Shen Xinghe.
The bread and milk tasted delicious together. She was the one who opened it first, which showed her thoughtfulness. Shen Xinghe felt that the trip was not in vain and did not ask about Jiang Yang.
While eating, Lin Shuliang suddenly asked, "Are the girls at your school's broadcasting station pretty?"
He said casually, "It's OK."
Lin Shuliang suddenly became unhappy, "Oh."
This voice is not right. He looked up at Lin Shuliang and asked, "What did Jiang Yang say to you?"
"Nothing," she replied.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Shen Xinghe said nonchalantly: "The little prince saw more than one rose, but he still firmly believed that the rose on his planet, the one that was stubborn, strong-willed, and occasionally a little bit sharp-tongued, was the most beautiful. Similarly, you are the only rose on my planet."
She was drinking milk, her eyes wandering around, her hands tightly holding the milk bottle, pretending to be calm.
While they were talking, Lin Shuliang's computer was flashing email reminders, but she was so immersed in the sweet atmosphere that she didn't notice.
