Chapter 87: Beauty in Arms

Lin Shuliang spent a lazy Saturday in the dormitory. Luo Yun came back from sketching, and she started complaining crazily as soon as she entered the room.

"Lin Shuliang, why did you put Shen Xinghe on the blacklist? Do you know that he kept calling me and I couldn't stop him. Before I finished my sketching, he paid for the car and hired a car to take me back, just so that I could give you the phone and let you answer the call. What do you think, is he crazy or just stupid and rich?"

She finished her words quickly, and just as she finished speaking, the phone rang again. She handed the phone to Lin Shuliang, "Answer it yourself. I don't have the heart to deal with him anymore."

After she finished speaking, she went to the bathroom.

Lin Shuliang only had her head exposed. Her cell phone was placed next to her pillow. It was a bit cold, so she stretched her head to reach for the phone and put her ear close to it. "Hello?"

She had a slight cold and her voice was hoarse and broken.

"Why didn't you answer the phone? And you blocked me." She thought Shen Xinghe was as anxious as Luo Yun said, but the voice she heard was like someone who had just finished breakfast at the beach and was enjoying the leisurely ebb and flow of the tide.

She straightened her phone and said, "Maybe I pressed it accidentally. There have been a lot of sales calls recently and I blocked a lot of them. I must have made a mistake." She made up an excuse at random.

"But your cell phone number is unknown and cannot be dialed, otherwise I wouldn't have to ask Luo Yun to go back." He continued.

"..." She forgot about it. "Anyway, it was a mistake. What can I do for you?"

Shen Xinghe laughed, his voice was very low, "The girl who answered my call yesterday..."

"I don't want to listen. Hang up if you have nothing else to say." She endured the cold and reached out to hang up the phone.

Shen Xinghe glanced at the phone, not knowing what it meant.

The reason why he was so anxious to contact Lin Shuliang was that he thought something had happened to her, which was why she urged Luo Yun to go back to the dormitory.

He said to himself, "Is Lin Shuliang crazy?"

They were competing outside, a college science and technology competition, and there was a girl in the team. She saw Shen Xinghe outside and wanted to talk to him, and happened to hear the name Lin Shuliang.

She answered the phone yesterday and went out for a barbecue. Their team stayed in a guesthouse. When they came back, Shen Xinghe was asleep, so she didn't say anything. Now she remembered it after hearing it, "By the way, this girl called you yesterday."

"Which girl?"

"Shuliang, didn't you just say this name?" Her name is Yang Yaya, and she is a classmate of Shen Xinghe.

"What time did you answer it?"

"Well, it was around eleven o'clock. You left your phone outside to charge and you went to take a shower. I answered the phone and we went out for a barbecue. I forgot about it." She said a little embarrassedly, "Why? Did your girlfriend misunderstand you?"

"Nothing." He smiled inexplicably, feeling a little happy? She was angry because a girl answered his call.

It seems that she still has me in her heart, Shen Xinghe thought so and smiled like a fool.

…

"Have you explained it clearly?" Luo Yun came out and asked, wiping his hair.

"Well, it's nothing." She said nonchalantly, "Don't bother me, I want to go back to sleep."

"Wait, what is your relationship with him?"

"What does it matter? He has a girlfriend. It was a girl who answered the phone so late at night. What could she be doing? Are they just ordinary friends?" She was sullen and sat up suddenly, saying angrily.

"So this is, you are jealous and sulking, but that guy doesn't know what you are angry about, and he is still worried that you have been kidnapped, saying that it is an emergency." She looked down on Lin Shuliang, "If you do this, he won't know you are angry."

She fell down, wrapped herself up in the quilt, and rolled to the side of the wall. "I don't want to talk. I'm going to sleep."

Luo Yun refused to let her go. "During Christmas, the art troupe will have a masquerade party. Do you want to go?"

"No." She said firmly.

"Why not go? I'm going. I've already bought my clothes. I plan to dress as Snow White. If Jiang Yang comes, I'll prepare a prince's costume for him." Luo Yun's eyes were full of longing.

She turned around and put her hands under her head, "Are you and Jiang Yang confirmed in your relationship?"

"No." Luo Yun shook his head, "Not too fast, hehe..."

So sweet.

When they went out to eat at noon, Luo Yun asked her again, "What are you going to wear if you go?"

There was a poster of Harry Potter hanging next to her, so she said, "Harry Potter, and my magic wand."

"Okay, I'll prepare everything for you!"

"Why?"

"It would be boring for me to go alone. You should go too." Luo Yun gave the order and started choosing clothes.

Come to think of it, it’s been a while since we’ve seen such a commotion, so let’s go.

"Then I will take care of your meals for today and tomorrow." With that said, the two of them walked towards the cafeteria.

…

Lin Shuliang has been really free recently. There are probably no competitions or activities. Because of the previous incident, she was rejected several times when she signed up, so she didn't continue to sign up.

Xu Chen knew that she was free, so he would look for her to play from time to time. On this day, she was walking towards the dormitory with a bunch of food bought by Wang Zhiwen, when Xu Chen called again.

She found a place to rest, "What's wrong?"

"Are you going to Jiangcheng?" Xu Chen asked.

"What are you going to do?" She was so tired.

"Of course I'm going to have fun. My mom has just opened a hotel there, and it's free for a few days to try out, and meals are included. Do you want to go?"

She thought for a moment, "Is there a famous bar in Jiangcheng called Waiting for You?"

"It seems so. It's right next to the hotel. My mother also saw this business opportunity."

She had always wanted to go, but hadn't been able to do so. "If I go, when will I leave? And when will I be able to come back?"

"Leave in the afternoon, take the flight on Sunday evening."

"So soon? I'm at the door of Canteen No. 1 now, moving food to the dormitory. I don't know if I'll have enough time to tidy up. Luo Yun should follow." She took precautions first, as she knew Luo Yun's temper best.

"It's just one more person's business. Go ahead. I'll send her a message to invite her." Xu Chen saw someone who looked like Lin Shuliang in front of him. "Are you in Canteen No. 1?"

"Yeah, I just said that."

He walked forward and said, "Shen Xinghe is so romantic that he bought so much food for you." He deliberately glanced at which store it was from.

Lin Shuliang shook her head, "Shen Xinghe? How is that possible?" She said disdainfully. After that phone call that day, they had no contact with each other again. It must be that his girlfriend was unhappy, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. The Little Prince hasn't even finished reading.

Xu Chen just mentioned the name, and she thought so much. She patted her head and came to her senses, "Wang Zhiwen bought it. Last time he said he had to give me a gift. I just picked it up by express delivery, and I didn't expect there would be so many."

"Is it the guy who took advantage of the situation?" Xu Chen was a little unhappy. How could he be so good at winning people's hearts?

He still remembered the last time Lin Shuliang fell, he and Shen Xinghe reached out at the same time, and Wang Zhiwen benefited from it.

But Lin Shuliang didn't know, "Ah?"

"Nothing, move it yourself, I'm leaving."

Lin Shuliang thought he was joking, but he really left. "Hey, why are you leaving? Help me."

"If you can't move it, throw it away." He said without turning his head.

Lin Shuliang was furious.

Standing at the airport, Lin Shuliang felt that her hands were still shaking. If it weren't for the senior student passing by to help her, she would have moved until dark. Thinking of this, she glared at Xu Chen, "You are not a gentleman at all!"

"Yes, when you asked me to recite your words, I definitely agreed." Xu Chen did not forget to tease her and put his hand on her left cheek.

Lin Shuliang slapped his hand away, "Men and women should not touch each other, stay away from me."

Luo Yun took her hand and said excitedly: "I am a woman, so I can be close to you. I told you that I have always wanted to go to Jiangcheng, but I didn't go for various reasons. Finally, I have the chance."

"Calm down. Don't act like you just arrived in the city. Look at Shuliang..." Xu Chen looked at her and stopped talking.

Because Lin Shuliang was even more excited, "Yes, yes, I want to go there too, but I've never been there, especially the bar where you're waiting. There's a girl named A Lan who sings really well, with a hoarse and deep female voice that's too irresistible."

Xu Chen felt six solid black spots on his head, and he unconsciously moved his feet to the side, trying to get away from them.

Jiangcheng is not very close to their school Rongcheng. It takes an hour and a half by plane, and it was noon when they arrived in Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng is located in the south and is a bit hot.

Xu Chen's mother was waiting for them at the airport. "Are you here? Let's go. The car is waiting for you outside."

"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Shuliang and Luo Yun said in unison.

Xu Chen just smiled and said, "You don't have to come in person."

"Nothing, I'm not busy." She looked at Lin Shuliang, "Shuliang, I didn't greet you properly the last time we met. Hello, I'm Xu Chen's mother."

"Hello, Auntie."

Luo Yun also introduced himself, "Auntie, my name is Luo Yun."

"It's good to be young. Each one is prettier than the other." She looked admiring and took Shuliang by the hand, "Let's go."

Luo Yun frowned. Did your mother automatically treat Shuliang as her daughter-in-law?

Xu Chen shrugged, "This is our common wish."

Luo Yun: “…” It feels a bit like being on a pirate ship.

The hotel was beautifully decorated. Xu Chen's mother took them to the best room, arranging the triple rooms in a row, with Lin Shuliang in the middle. "Shuliang, you guys have a good rest, and then go out to play in the evening. Call me if you have anything."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Xu Chen still felt a little awkward getting along with his mother, but it was much better than last time.

Although Luo Yun had a room, he still stayed at Lin Shuliang's place and they went out excitedly before nightfall.

Of course Xu Chen is indispensable.

As they walked, Luo Yun kept replying to Jiang Yang's messages, "I'm in Jiangcheng, here to play, and I'll be waiting for you at your famous bar soon."

On Jiang Yang's side, they had a party after the game, playing K and talking. K said, "No. 5 and No. 9 are drinking a cup of wine together."

The ones mentioned were Shen Xinghe and Yang Yaya.

Yang Yaya looked at Shen Xinghe shyly, and he shook his head, "No, my girlfriend and I have never had a cup of wedding wine." Yang Yaya's eyes darkened.

The others disagreed, and she didn't want to embarrass Shen Xinghe. "I'm a girl and I'm at a greater disadvantage. I've never been in a relationship before. How about this? I'll sit next to him, clink glasses, and we won't be too far apart when we drink. Is that okay?"

Once the girl starts talking, no one has anything to say.

When Lin Shuliang and the others walked in, they saw Shen Xinghe and Yang Yaya drinking next to each other, both of them smiling sweetly.

Luo Yun didn't see it. "Jiang Yang said that they are all here, including Shen Xinghe."

Lin Shuliang looked in the direction of Shen Xinghe, "Well, the wine is flowing, and the beauty is in my arms, how conspicuous."
