Chapter 16
After Gu Qingyue and Song Xiaoshu finished dinner, it started to rain heavily outside.
The car stopped a few steps away, and the two ran towards the parking lot in the rain. When they got in the car, Song Xiaoshu saw that the ends of Gu Qingyue's hair were wet and black from the rain, so Song Xiaoshu handed her a few tissues.
After wiping her face, Gu Qingyue bit the leather rope in her mouth, put her hands behind her head, and combed her long hair with her fingers. She skillfully gathered her long hair into a ball and finally tied it with a black leather rope.
Song Xiaoshu asked, "Isn't your hair still wet?"
"It's in the way." Gu Qingyue frowned and pushed a strand of hair that had fallen on her cheek behind her ear. She glanced at the opened hard cigarette box on the steering wheel. The box was light blue and it was not a domestic cigarette brand. She asked curiously, "What brand is this?"
"Bohem." Song Xiaoshu said, "Have you heard of it?"
Gu Qingyue's gaze lingered on it, her brows slightly furrowed. Song Xiaoshu assumed she wanted to smoke and handed her the cigarette box: "It's mint lemon flavored, not too strong. Want to try it?"
Gu Qingyue gripped the box, opened the lid, and pulled out a cigarette, which had a faint scent of lemon mint. It was a slender white cigarette, and Gu Qingyue toyed with it like a child with a rare toy.
When they encountered a red light, Song Xiaoshu slowly stopped the car and asked, "Have you ever smoked?"
"No." Gu Qingyue asked, "When did you touch this thing?"
"Back in my freshman year of high school." Song Xiaoshu stared at her face. "Do you want to give it a try?"
Gu Qingyue's curiosity got the better of her. She nodded slowly and bit the cigarette holder as she was told. Her lips were bright red, and the thin white cigarette was held between her soft lips, which inexplicably had a sense of temptation.
Song Xiaoshu looked away and handed her the lighter.
Gu Qingyue bit the cigarette holder, and a minty coolness filled her nostrils. She sniffed and said childishly, "It's so cool!"
Song Xiaoshu laughed.
Gu Qingyue returned to the dormitory, raised her hand to cover the door handle, and pressed down, but the door panel did not budge. She lowered her head, pulled her shoulder bag in front of her, and lowered her head to look for her keys, but saw the half-pack of cigarettes.
Gu Qingyue didn't know when she put Song Xiaoshu's cigarettes into her bag. She was slightly startled. Someone patted her shoulder from behind and she turned around subconsciously.
It was Chi Xiqian. She was holding a bouquet of roses, as gorgeous as she was. She asked in a friendly tone, "Why, you didn't bring your keys?"
"No." She took the key ring out of her bag, and the key bells jingled.
Chi Xiqian murmured, her eyes filled with scrutiny, "Qingyue, was it your boyfriend who just sent you back?"
Gu Qingyue subconsciously frowned, somewhat disgusted by the gossipy look in Chi Xiqian's eyes. She and Chi Xiqian were not very familiar with each other, having only hosted a song and dance party in their sophomore year. She shook her head, inserted the key into the lock, and said in a flat tone: "No, my friend."
Chi Xiqian said "oh" slowly, with some profound meaning.
Gu Qingyue pulled the key out of the lock, pushed the door open, and signaled that she was going in. Chi Xiqian tactfully said no more: "Then I'll go back to the dormitory first."
Gu Qingyue nodded and said, "Goodbye."
She closed the door, and Shu Miaomiao poked her face out from behind the curtain. Gu Qingyue was startled: "Are you in the dormitory?"
"Who are you talking to?" Shu Miaomiao asked with a smile, supporting her chin with one hand.
"Chi Xiqian."
Gu Qingyue put her hands on the edge of the table and changed into comfortable cotton slippers. Shu Miaomiao got out of bed and asked, "What do you have to talk about with her?"
"We just bumped into each other and chatted for a few minutes." Gu Qingyue asked, "Where are Xinhui and He Qing?"
"One has classes, and the other is meeting her boyfriend." Shu Miaomiao said angrily, "I'm the only one staying in the dorm all alone. It seems I need to find someone to date."
"Of course." Gu Qingyue said with a smile.
Gu Qingyue took the clothes and went to the bathroom to wash them.
In the evening, around ten o'clock, He Qing returned to the dormitory with a bag of desserts in his hand. He handed out a piece to everyone one by one: "This cake has good reviews. Brother Xun bought it for you as a midnight snack."
He Qing calls her boyfriend Yang Shuowen "Brother Xun". When Yang Shuowen first pursued He Qing, he often sent them some snacks in order to increase his popularity.
Shu Miaomiao looked at the piece of red velvet cheesecake in front of her and sighed: "I have to hold back!"
But within a minute, she sighed, "I really want to eat. What should I do?"
Jiang Xinhui wavered in the soldiers' morale, but she didn't take it seriously and said, "Well, if you want to eat, just eat it. It's just a small piece of cake, not high in calories."
Shu Miaomiao was still struggling. Gu Qingyue picked up a transparent fork, took a spoonful and put it into her mouth. The creamy and sweet taste melted between her lips and teeth. It was really good.
Shu Miaomiao frowned in confusion: "Qingyue, why can't you gain weight no matter how much you eat? I'm so angry!"
Gu Qingyue was both amused and confused. She scooped a spoonful of mango mille-feuille and blocked Shu Miaomiao's mouth with it.
Shu Miaomiao took a bite, but still felt unsatisfied. She dug out a digital scale from under the desk and stepped on it barefoot. Seeing the weight on it, she uttered a sigh and jumped off the scale: "I'm fat again. No, I can't eat this."
"I'm going to bed, otherwise I won't be able to resist eating that piece of cake." Shu Miaomiao climbed onto the bed ladder and pulled the curtains.
Soon, the lights in the dormitory went out.
Gu Qingyue's face was pressed against the pillow, the light from the mobile phone screen shining on her face. Gu Qingyue opened WeChat, looked at the avatar of the blue sea, thought for a moment, and sent a message to Gu Hengsheng.
She was playing with her phone, waiting for his reply, and ten minutes later, WeChat popped up.
"I'll have time tomorrow."
The next day was a sunny day with bright sunshine. The winter light was not as scorching as the summer light, but warm.
Shu Miaomiao was wearing long-sleeved pajamas, her feet on a stool, savoring the leftover cake from last night while watching Gu Qingyue putting on makeup. She sipped her spoon and asked, "Do you want to go out?"
"Hmm." Gu Qingyue was drawing her eyebrows. Actually, her eyebrows were very nice-looking. The dark eyebrows contrasted with her snow-white skin, so she didn't need to draw any more makeup. Gu Qingyue disliked the eyebrow color being too light, so she just casually applied it twice and gave up.
Shu Miaomiao understood and said, "Are you going to see your third uncle?"
Gu Qingyue hummed softly, and Shu Miaomiao asked, "Does your third uncle have a girlfriend?"
"He said he was single."
Shu Miaomiao sighed, "Last week, registration for the elective course opened. I heard that his molecular biology course is overwhelmed with students. In previous years, there weren't enough students, so the course couldn't even be offered. When the class starts, if any female students find out that Teacher Gu is single, what a scene..."
Gu Qingyue felt inexplicably sad.
This worry was forgotten until she arrived at Gu Hengsheng's residence, raised her hand to ring the doorbell, and saw him.
He seemed to have just taken a shower, and the hair on his forehead was slightly wet. He was wearing a gray cashmere sweater and linen casual pants, with a white shirt underneath the cashmere sweater. He had a faint smell of pine wood on him.
Gu Qingyue took off her flat shoes and picked up a pair of men's cotton slippers from the shoe rack. Her feet were small, so half of the shoe was exposed. She kindly suggested, "Maybe you can buy a few pairs of women's slippers."
A few seconds after she finished speaking, she rejected the proposal: "Forget it, it's better not to buy it."
"Get whatever you want to drink."
Gu Qingyue was no longer so restrained. She walked to the refrigerator with ease and took out a bottle of carbohydrate drink, which immediately filled with steam.
She hooked her finger around the pull ring, and with a crackling sound, a puff of cold air came out. She took a sip and exclaimed, "So cold."
"In the middle of winter, it's better to drink less cold drinks," he said.
Gu Qingyue was about to respond when she felt something furry against the back of her foot. A chill ran down her spine, and she leaped onto a chair. When she came to her senses, the orange cat was squatting on the ground, tilting its head back and looking at her with an innocent expression.
Gu Qingyue hugged her knees and squatted on the high chair. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Hengsheng who came out of the room. "When did you bring it here?"
"Two days ago."
Gu Qingyue climbed down from the chair and held the orange cat in her arms. She asked, "Is it heavier again?"
"I think so." Gu Hengsheng frowned.
Gu Qingyue held the orange cat and walked to the sofa to sit down. She asked tentatively, "Have you met with Teacher Chen recently?"
Gu Hengsheng was opening a can of cat food. The orange cat smelled the food, jumped out of Gu Qingyue's arms, and slowly walked to the cat tray in the corner.
"No."
Gu Qingyue: "Oh, I met Teacher Chen a few days ago."
Gu Hengsheng stood up, walked to the kitchen counter, turned on the faucet to wash his hands, and said with a smile: "Qingyue, what do you want to say?"
"He didn't say anything about me?" Gu Qingyue hinted.
"Oh, I see." Gu Hengsheng said with a smile, "You mean about your boyfriend."
"He is not my boyfriend." Gu Qingyue said hurriedly.
Gu Hengsheng looked at her for a moment, and Gu Qingyue said, "You don't believe it?"
Her eyes sparkled, and he smiled and reassured her: "It's normal for you to fall in love at your age."
Gu Qingyue nodded and stood up from the sofa. She walked to the kitchen counter and picked up the Coke she had been drinking earlier. For some reason, it tasted a little off. Coke was always the most delicious the moment it was opened. When she drank it later, she always felt like something was missing, but she had no idea what it was.
Gu Hengsheng asked her, "Are you still drinking borscht today?"
Gu Qingyue squatted in front of the orange cat, watching it eat cat food. Hearing this, she tilted her head to look at Gu Hengsheng: "Can we order something else?"
"Okay." He said good-naturedly.
Gu Qingyue combed the cat's fur with her fingers, wondering what menu to change. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her fingertips, and she cried out softly. Looking down, she saw a small wound on the tip of her finger, and a trace of blood was already visible.
