Chapter 15
When Song Xiaoshu contacted Gu Qingyue, she was lying in bed with the quilt covering her face, catching up on her sleep.
Last night, Gu Qingyue and Shu Miaomiao watched a horror movie and stayed up until three in the morning before going to bed. After getting up early and attending two classes, they went to bed without even having lunch.
The phone under the bed rang for a long time. It was Miaomiao who was lying on the opposite bed who heard it. She pulled aside the bed curtains and woke her up: "Qingyue, Qingyue, your phone is ringing."
Gu Qingyue opened her eyes, and Shu Miaomiao handed her the phone. At the end, she winked and teased, "It's Song Xiaoshu's call."
Gu Qingyue took it in a daze, still lying on the bed, and said "hello" weakly.
Song Xiaoshu laughed and said, "Did I wake you up?"
Gu Qingyue hummed in a disapproving tone.
Song Xiaoshu smiled again and said without any sincerity, "Sorry."
Gu Qingyue sat up from the bed and heard him say, "I'm here to return the book. Would it be convenient for you to come out?"
"Wait for me for twenty minutes." Gu Qingyue got out of bed.
"Okay." Song Xiaoshu said, "Take your time."
Gu Qingyue took her toiletries to the balcony to wash up, while Shu Miaomiao was taking a shower in the bathroom with Stefanie Sun's "Knowingly Willing" playing on her phone.
Every night with her inner story
Too bad I'm blind
the truth
That needs to be explained
But I couldn't hum a sound
......
Shu Miaomiao is a Cantonese song enthusiast, and the music app on her mobile phone is almost all Cantonese songs.
Influenced by her, Gu Qingyue also fell in love with Cantonese songs. Most of their WeChat chat records were about sharing Cantonese songs with each other.
When Shu Miaomiao came out of the bathroom, she saw her plain face, without even lipstick on, wearing an oversized black hoodie and light blue jeans. She said, "You're going out like this? At least put on some makeup."
"What kind of makeup?" Gu Qingyue was confused.
"Qingyue, do you really not know how popular Song Xiaoshu is among the girls in their school?" Shu Miaomiao said.
Gu Qingyue laughed: "I don't know."
"He's got a face like that, and he could debut. Okay, this handsome guy asked you out, but you didn't even put on some makeup to show your appreciation?" Shu Miaomiao held up a mirror and applied lipstick, then said, "You and your third uncle went to the theater, so at least you both put on full makeup."
Gu Qingyue hesitated: "We are going to the theater, it's different."
Gu Qingyue walked out of the dormitory and stopped when she passed the mirror on the corner of the stairs. She looked at herself in the mirror twice, wondering if she was dressed too casually.
The black hoodie, with its offset printed mouse and cat patterns, looked a bit childish, but it wasn't a big deal. Gu Qingyue examined it carefully for two seconds and nodded. It was just a casual outfit, nothing wrong with it. Shu Miaomiao was just overthinking it.
Outside the dormitory building in the west district, there is a tall banyan tree, which is said to have a history of more than 50 years.
The trees are lush and the sunlight shines through the dense gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
Song Xiaoshu stood under the banyan tree, one hand in his pocket and the other on his cell phone.
The young boy's figure was thin and upright, with a hint of frivolity.
Gu Qingyue took a step forward, and the next moment she noticed the clothes on him. She sighed inwardly and was thinking about whether she should go back and change her clothes. Song Xiaoshu had already seen her and walked towards her with a smile.
He was also wearing a black hooded pullover and dark blue jeans, but the hoodie had a small white trefoil logo on the right chest and three long white stripes on the sleeves.
Gu Qingyue greeted him nonchalantly, "Hi."
Song Xiaoshu looked her clothes up and down and laughed out loud: "Looking at it this way, it looks a bit like a couple's outfit?"
"How about I go upstairs and change my clothes, and you wait a little longer?"
Song Xiaoshu: "Do you care?"
Gu Qingyue pretended to be considerate and said, "No, I'm just worried that your girlfriend might misunderstand."
"I don't have a girlfriend." Song Xiaoshu said.
Gu Qingyue was stunned for a moment and looked at him. She was originally trying to find a tactful excuse to change her clothes.
Song Xiaoshu seemed to see through her thoughts, smiled, and said, "If you care, I can wait for you a little longer."
Gu Qingyue considered this possibility and hesitated for a few seconds. She took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Forget it, let's go."
Song Xiaoshu smiled.
During this period, there are fewer students in the library, as most of them are in the teaching building for classes.
Gu Qingyue returned the book for Song Xiaoshu. After they left the library, Song Xiaoshu asked, "Would you like to have dinner with me?"
Gu Qingyue was indeed a little hungry, and she nodded slowly.
She thought Song Xiaoshu was eating in a cafeteria near the school. When he brought her to the school gate, she looked at him in confusion: "Aren't you eating in the cafeteria?"
"No." He pulled a set of car keys from his jeans pocket and said, "Let's go out to eat."
Song Xiaoshu was driving a dark blue Subaru hardtop sports car. He opened the passenger door for Gu Qingyue. Gu Qingyue stopped, tilted her head to look at him, and asked, "Before you get in the car, do you mind if I ask you a question?"
"What?" Song Xiaoshu looked down at her.
"How many years have you had your driver's license?"
"I got my driver's license when I turned 18, about four years ago. I've also participated in a few car races. If you're worried," Song Xiaoshu pulled out his phone from his pocket. "I'll ask my family in Macau to send you photos of those trophies."
"No, that's not necessary." Gu Qingyue said embarrassedly.
Song Xiaoshu walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat.
As the car drove away from the school gate, Gu Qingyue played with her phone and asked, "Where are we going to eat?"
"Japanese food, how is it?"
Gu Qingyue nodded: "Okay, I'm not picky."
Gu Qingyue had never expected to run into Chen Jing again. Meeting Chen Jing's gaze, Gu Qingyue felt inexplicably guilty: "Teacher Chen."
Chen Jing glanced at Song Xiaoshu with a teasing look: "Eating out with friends?"
"Yeah." Gu Qingyue always felt that there was another layer of meaning behind Chen Jing's words about friends. She smiled and said, "Yes, I went out to eat with friends."
"Enjoy it." said Chen Jing.
Song Xiaoshu looked in the direction Chen Jing left and asked, "A teacher from your school?"
"right."
Song Xiaoshu put his hands in his pockets, a smile in his eyes, and asked mischievously, "Did he misunderstand something?"
Gu Qingyue looked down at her black hoodie and sighed resignedly, "Maybe. Maybe in a couple of days, my mom will let me bring my boyfriend home."
"I'd be happy to." Song Xiaoshu said half-jokingly.
Chen Jing left the Japanese restaurant, got in the car, and called Gu Hengsheng directly. After waiting for a minute, the call was finally connected. Chen Jing tapped the steering wheel with his fingers and said, "Guess who I met at dinner just now?"
Compared to the intense interest in Chen Jing's tone, Gu Hengsheng seemed rather uninterested. He asked, "Who?"
"Your niece, Gu Qingyue, is out for dinner with her boyfriend." Chen Jing laughed. "The couple is quite romantic, even wearing matching outfits."
