After breakfast, everybody decided not to go out and stayed in the dormitory to prepare their thesis defence for next Monday.
Shen Qinglan was the most relaxed one. She moved a chair to sit under the sun. She held a book in her hand and turned it casually.
“Qinglan, you know you"re drawing our hatred right now?” Yu Xiaoxuan said jealousy, while she had her hand on the keyboard typing. She only started her paper that day.
“Who told you to be lazy and not start it awhile ago? Now look, you"re in such a hurry.” Fang Tong swayed around her for a while.
“How much better are you than me? I"m not the only one rus.h.i.+ng my thesis.” It was just the pot calling the kettle black.
Fang Tong stopped talking.
Wu Qian didn"t speak. She was a little absent-minded. She looked at her mobile phone from time to time. Undoubtedly, her mobile phone was turned off, and she didn"t understand where her anxiety was coming from.
After hesitating for a while, Wu Qian finally reached for her mobile phone and pressed the power-on b.u.t.ton.
She set up a call reminder. As soon as the mobile phone was turned on, notifications came in. Several messages were sent by Chen Qingtian.
Wu Qian looked at them one by one, he was basically asking why she had left the hospital without saying h.e.l.lo, whether she was in better health or not, and where she was now.
Wu Qian"s eyes were a little hazy and she could not see the screen clearly. She blinked gently and replied to the messages.
[At school. Everything is fine.]
After a while, her cellphone rang, but Wu Qian didn"t answer it.
The mobile phone kept ringing, and Yu Xiaoxuan looked at her strangely, “Wu Qian, answer your phone.”
Wu Qian did not reply, picked up her cell phone, and walked out of the dormitory.
“Wu Qian"s att.i.tude seems strange today.” Yu Xiaoxuan said.
“Maybe something happened. If she doesn"t want to tell us, don"t worry about it and start writing your paper quickly.” Fang Tong said.
Yu Xiaoxuan didn"t say any more.
Shen Qinglan sat on the balcony. From her position, she could see downstairs. She saw Wu Qian walk out of the dormitory building and go to the big tree next to the dormitory building. A man was waiting there, and Wu Qian seemed to have been looking for this man.
Shen Qinglan had met this man before. When she was shopping with Fu Hengyi that day, they met twice. At that time, both of them behaved as if they were close. It seemed that Wu Qian"s depressed mood these past two days was related to this man.
She didn"t know what the man said but Wu Qian kept her head down. The man held Wu Qian in his arms and Wu Qian"s hand was beating on the man"s back. From what Shen Qinglan could see, she knew that she wasn"t using much strength.
Soon, Wu Qian and the man got into a sports car nearby.
Shen Qinglan"s beautiful eyes blinked and she looked away.
“Qinglan, what shall we have for lunch?” Yu Xiaoxuan stretched herself and asked Shen Qinglan who was on the balcony.
Shen Qinglan: “What do you want to eat? I"ll buy it.” She was the only one who had the most time in the dormitory right now.
As soon as she said that, Yu Xiaoxuan"s eyes brightened, she was a foodie and said that she was always full of motivation after she ate, “I want to eat Pizza Hut"s seafood pizza, as well as spaghetti, KFC"s spicy chicken wings and Orleans grilled wings, a Starbucks Latte Coffee, and…”
“Yu Xiaoxuan, are you a pig?” Fang Tong interrupted Yu Xiaoxuan and looked at her scornfully. “Although you are not famous now, you are still an artist. Pay attention to your image. If you eat so much, are you not afraid that your agent will directly cut you to pieces?”
Yu Xiaoxuan"s face broke. “But my agent is not here now. Let me eat for once for the last time.”
With a pitiful expression and an apathetic tone, Yu Xiaoxuan looks a bit like a poor child after being abandoned.
It was a pity that Fang Tong didn"t take her advice and rolled her eyes. “This trick is yours is of no use to me. I"m doing this for you. Eat less now, and you won"t have to experience as much pain when trying to lose weight in the future.”
“Qinglan…” Yu Xiaoxuan turned to look at Shen Qinglan.
Shen Qinglan closed jer book, “Fang Tong is right. I heard that Linda is very demanding of entertainers. Their first priority is for artists to control their bodies. If you want to survive under Linda, you"d better not eat junk food.”
Before Han Yi arranged Yu Xiaoxuan to be apart of Linda"s staff, he asked for the opinions of Shen Qinglan, who also had a basic understanding of Linda.
Yu Xiaoxuan didn"t speak, her face looked as if she was living a life without love.
In the end, Shen Qinglan ordered the meal online. Instead of the ones ordered by Yu Xiaoxuan, she ordered a plate of Fried Sweet and Sour Tenderloin, which she liked to eat. It was to comfort her little heart.
When Yu Xiaoxuan saw the plate of Fried Sweet and Sour Tenderloin, she was so moved that she almost cried.
“Qinglan, I knew you loved me the most. If I were a man in this life, I would marry you. I"ll give you a big sedan chair carried by eight men and ten li of feminine adornments.”
(*TN: Li – an ancient measure of length, approx. 500 m.)
Shen Qinglan smiled and didn"t reply. Even if she was a man in this life, she would already be a little too late.
Shen Qinglan lightly thought this.
After dinner, Shen Qinglan was responsible for cleaning up. The other two continued to struggle on their keyboards to hopefully finish their papers today. After all, tomorrow was Sat.u.r.day and they agreed to visit Qinglan"s house tomorrow.
“Qinglan, it"s clear that you didn"t go to a professional interns.h.i.+p at all, but your interns.h.i.+p report is just like the real one. How did you do it?” Yu Xiaoxuan flipped through Shen Qinglan"s interns.h.i.+p report and felt that she had received 10.000 critical damage.
Fang Tong was not surprised, “Qinglan"s strength is a mystery, this small interns.h.i.+p report is nothing. You forget when she was a soph.o.m.ore, she also helped a senior in physics to solve a physics problem. As a result, she was regarded as a G.o.ddess by that senior, and he even chased Qinglan for a whole academic school year and he delivered a semester"s worth of breakfast. No matter what Qinglan said to him, it didn"t work.”
Yu Xiaoxuan also thought of this and smiled. That silly senior often ran to their school even after his graduation.
“Qinglan, what did you say to that senior? Why didn"t he come anymore?” Yu Xiaoxuan was curious.
Shen Qinglan said lightly, “Nothing, I just told him that I was engaged. I would be marrying my fiance after graduation, and that I have a very good relations.h.i.+p with my fiance. I told him I hope he didn"t disturb my life anymore.”
That was… Yu Xiaoxuan gave her thumbs up admiringly. “You made up all of that. Why didn"t you say that to him earlier?”
“A simple young man finally took a fancy to a girl, but in the end, she had a master and this one strike would have made him feel minuscule. Qinglan didn"t want to say it earlier, because she was afraid that he would be unable to get up after such a fall. Later, when he graduated, he would have learned some through experience in society, and it would have improved his endurance.” Fang Tong said leisurely.
Yu Xiaoxuan looked at Shen Qinglan and saw that she has no objection to her reasoning. She knew that Fang Tong was right and silently mourned for the boy for a second.
What Shen Qinglan had in mind at the moment was that what she said at that time was not a lie. She was indeed a married person now.
