The atmosphere during the first part of the meal was quite harmonious. All the roommates and classmates were quite awesome. This was not just one or two wingmen fighting, but the entire formation firing freely. Everyone talked about the things they had done with Cheng Ran, good or bad, there were a lot of exciting things. Jiang Hongshao just listened, occasionally interrupted to ask about the details, and laughed with everyone when they talked about the funny things. This scene was genuinely pleasing to the eye.
But there were still some troubles. Ever since Liu Wenyi and Hao Qian, who were beside Zhang Jing, came to the table, the 409 dormitory was worried about Cheng Ran. Sure enough, after a while, Hao Qian said, "By the way, you guys in No. 10 Middle School are very united. You organized an alumni association at school. Last time, a girl from Tsinghua University came to perform. Her name is Qin Qian. Later, she specially invited Cheng Ran to dinner, and we also participated. Cheng Ran, what did Qin Qian tell you? She said that you once did her a favor, and she thought about it and couldn't repay you... so she had to marry you. Ha, although she said it was a joke, there is no telling how much truth and falsehood there is in it. Oh, you are really lucky."
Everyone's voices lowered for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Li Wei suddenly felt that he was a sinner. He only blamed Hao Qian for hearing about what happened in front of the Eighth Teaching Building and sending him a text message, which led to Zhang Jing and a group of girls coming over.
Zhang Jing glanced at Hao Qian with a slightly dissatisfied look in her eyes. Although she knew what Hao Qian was thinking, she still didn't like her roommate playing these little tricks on her.
Hao Qian and Liu Wenyi exchanged glances with Zhang Jing, both showing expressions that showed they were ready to support you.
Everyone was paying attention to Jiang Hongshao's expression. If she suddenly fell silent or was in a low mood, it would not be surprising at all. However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Jiang Hongshao looked at Cheng Ran in amazement and smiled, "Qin Qian dances very well... and she is also very beautiful and outstanding. I like her very much. If you really like her, why not just go along with it? If you feel it is difficult to ask, you can ask your friends in Tsinghua to speak for you. Otherwise, I can go too. Girls are easier to talk to each other."
Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't even breathe.
In fact, when Hao Qian said this just now, some people present might have secretly said "oh" in their hearts, thinking of Cheng Ran, Cheng Ran, you are in big trouble this time.
However, now the two tigers were shocked again. What was going on with this sudden turn of events?!
Hao Qian's face turned pale and blue, and she felt that she had been a villain for nothing. But at the end, she and Liu Wenyi looked at Zhang Jing together, thinking, Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing, this person is really good!
Cheng Ran looked at Lao Jiang and smiled, "Really?"
“Of course you can like it, who asked you to like it…” Jiang Hongshao glanced over, but perhaps she still felt guilty and did not dare to meet Cheng Ran’s scorching gaze head-on.
Cheng Ran said "Oh" and looked at Jiang Hongshao carefully. She had already avoided him.
It can't be said that he was disappointed. Maybe others didn't understand, but Cheng Ran knew that with so many onlookers present today, Lao Jiang would most likely not reveal his true emotions.
No one dared to ask any more questions and quickly changed the subject.
In the end, Zhang Jing was not asked to pay for the meal. It was a rare occasion for Jiang Hongshao to come to USTC, and it was unreasonable for her to ask others to treat her, so Cheng Ran used the excuse of going to the toilet to pay for the meal.
After dinner, everyone came up with ideas, such as Cheng Ran accompanying Jiang Hongshao to visit the school, and taking Hongshao to the school cinema to watch a movie in the afternoon.
Zhang Jing said that they would not participate as they had classes in the afternoon and she did not dare to have her two roommates present at the same time. Although she did feel inexplicably lost when she heard about the incident in the Eighth Teaching Building today, she was instigated to attend the dinner.
After the three of them left, Liu Wenyi said, "Do you feel that the relationship between Jiang Hongshao and Cheng Ran is not as passionately in love as you imagined? If you insist, they are more like good friends. Look, which girl can be so frank and dare to say that she is helping others to pick up girls?"
Zhang Jing shook her head, indicating that it was difficult to comment, but thinking about what happened just now, she couldn't help but frown at Hao Qian, "What did you do today..."
Hao Qian rolled her eyes and said, "It's all for you."
Zhang Jing said, "No need, don't do this kind of thing again."
Hao Qian felt the coldness in Zhang Jing's words. She was really angry, so she puffed her cheeks. She felt that her kindness was being ignored and she became angry.
Only Liu Wenyi sighed, took one of the two angry girls' arms, and dragged them back to the dormitory.
…
On the other hand, Cheng Ran and his group had no idea that they were being treated as third wheel. It happened that classes only started at four o'clock in the afternoon, and it seemed that they were planning to hang out with Cheng Ran and the others. No wonder they couldn't be driven away. Cheng Ran himself was quite popular in school, and his rumored girlfriend, a top student, came to HKUST. Everyone was curious about gossip and was determined to keep the two of them hanging.
But they still had a sense of propriety. When the two of them were walking, they just kept a distance from them and didn't get close to them or eavesdrop on what they were saying. They acted as if Jiang Hongshao had finally come to USTC, and as Cheng Ran's best friend, we had to accompany her and help make arrangements no matter what.
And they said they were going to see a movie, so they were quite good at it. The vanguard marched over first and turned back to say to Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao, "I bought the tickets for you!"
The most recent movie was at two o'clock, and it was Brave Heart. Movies nowadays are not like those in later times, where big movies are released every once in a while. In university campuses like HKUST, most of the movies played over and over are classic movies. The cinema is located in a sunken building next to the library. It's still one o'clock, and everyone is waiting. When they walked over just now, Jiang Hongshao was looking at the campus of HKUST, asking about the sculptures and saying that the vegetation is rich, but overall, neither of them mentioned the previous meal.
Standing here, watching Lao Jiang not looking at him but just standing there with her cheeks full of tenderness, Cheng Ran asked, "Do you want some ice cream?"
Jiang Hongshao stood there, turned her head, looked into his eyes again this time, and nodded.
"What flavor? Strawberry, vanilla, original."
"I want strawberries."
"good."
Cheng Ran led Li Wei to the campus water bar not far away and bought ice cream for everyone present. Li Wei took others', while he held a cone in each hand. When he came back, he handed the strawberry flavored cone to Jiang Hongshao. As a result, just as he handed it out, someone passed by like the wind. Cheng Ran subconsciously dodged and retreated. The upper layer of Jiang Hongshao's ice cream cone fell down, and part of it splashed on Cheng Ran's hand, which looked quite unsightly.
The boy who ran over there apologized hastily and ran away. Lao Guo, Li Wei and others chased after him, cursing. Seeing the scene of such evil forces, the man dared not stay. He said sorry, sorry, and ran faster than a rabbit, which made Cheng Ran a little messy. He retracted his hand and handed over the cream plain egg roll he bought for himself, "How about you eat this."
“It’s okay… I’ll stick with this…” Jiang Hongshao shook her head and took the egg roll with half of the cream missing from Cheng Ran’s hand. She carefully held the part of the shell that was not stained by the ice cream, slightly opened her pearly teeth, and started to bite it with a sizzling sound, looking very peaceful.
Seeing her virtuous look without any disdain, Cheng Ran's heart was touched.
But at the same time, I had a bad feeling.
Is Mercury retrograde today? Nothing is going well for me.
Soon the movie started and everyone walked inside and sat down. Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao sat in the front row, while Li Wei and his group sat in the back rows at the right time so as not to disturb them. Someone came to collect the tickets, and the movie started. The lights dimmed, the screen lit up, and the main film began. Jiang Hongshao, wearing a white coat and a blue tight sweater underneath, was next to him.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be their first time watching a movie, right
The heat from the girl's body seemed to be transmitted by the air flowing nearby, accompanied by a hint of the rich fragrance of orchid grass, which entered the nose faintly. As the breath went straight up, it seemed to reach the cerebral cortex, entering the depths of those yellowed memories and soul imprints.
What does it feel like
It doesn’t matter whether William Wallace on the screen can gain his freedom. What’s important is the glimpse of him entering the tent with the British princess played by Sophie Marceau. It is so thrilling that makes people want something to happen.
Think about Jiang Hongshao beside you, isn’t she a princess from Britain? Even Sophie Marceau’s sexiness and beauty, which combine with oriental temperament, are similar to her.
And just when the protagonist of the movie and Sophie Marceau were kissing and about to do something, the player jammed, the film source was a mess, the scene was in chaos and protests, and finally a group of people came out making a fuss. The venue staff hurriedly gave everyone invoices and promised that they could watch the next show in a few days.
This is simply... really not going well.
Cheng Ran looked at the girl next to him and began to think about the evil question he had to consider. How should he sleep tonight
Can I sleep or not
