I want to have a normal campus romance

Hearing Xia Xiaoyao's words, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because I really didn't expect that she would care about me first at this time, instead of explaining things to the director.

Seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, I brushed off the dust on my clothes and replied casually:

"It's okay. And...are you concerned about me?"

"Ah? I just... didn't..."

It seemed that she didn't expect me to say that. She was even stunned for a moment before she reacted. She was about to say something, but as if she had thought of something, she crossed her arms and said:

"Yes, I just care about you, okay?"

Chapter 6 Silent Dialogue

"Yes, I just care about you, okay?"

This sudden straight ball directly hit me. To be honest, I really just asked casually just now, and I didn't expect this girl to have such a big reaction. And she was obviously shy just now... How did she suddenly become so frank?

Could it be that I have extraordinary charm? Although I was once praised as the most handsome man in the college, I really don’t think it is convincing that even “Beast Senior” can be included in the entertainment selection, and even ranked at the top.

"Since you said it's okay, I won't be polite."

Before I could come to my senses, Xia Xiaoyao suddenly took two quick steps forward, frowned, stared at me intently, then raised her foot and pretended to step on my right foot.

Damn... Was she just pretending to be shy just to trick me into saying this? This trick is too deep!

I closed my eyes helplessly, feeling a lot of emotions in my heart, just like a candidate who was ready to die in the exam, waiting for the invigilator to hand out the test paper. But after a long time, I still didn't feel the pain from my feet, but I felt like someone flicked my forehead.

I opened my eyes with some doubt, and saw Xia Xiaoyao looking at me with interest, with a sly smile and an expression as if she had succeeded. I immediately realized - I had been fooled!

Seeing her closing her eyes and sticking out her chest, with an expression as if she had avenged herself, I didn't feel much frustration of being fooled for a moment. Instead, I felt that Xia Xiaoyao looked...quite cute, like a naughty girl next door.

But it seemed that I hadn't responded to her for a long time, so she still opened one eye secretly with some uneasiness, and I responded with a smile. Then, for the first time in my life, I saw the whole process of a face slowly turning red, and even Xia Xiaoyao's ears were slightly red.

Maybe I've been watching too many anime recently, I even imagined those red cheeks, steaming like in the anime, like a steam princess.

"Humph, I should just crush you to death."

As if she was a little embarrassed, Xia Xiaoyao hurried away after saying this. Her back looked flustered and even embarrassed as she left, and she didn't look like she had succeeded in her plan at all.

Really, he feels like a little kid, not a big star at all.

Looking at her leaving back, I couldn't help laughing for a moment, straightened my clothes, then lifted the door curtain and followed her out. However, as soon as I went out, I saw a familiar face.

"Not bad, kid, you really get it right away."

Seeing the director's "educate this child" expression, I couldn't help but frown. Logically speaking, the male and female protagonists had close contact outside the play, which could cause a scandal, but instead of stopping it, they didn't take it seriously. If Xia Xiaoyao hadn't said that he was a well-known big director, I would have thought that he was a small movie director who changed his outfit and came out to find a job because Douban Media was finished.

"Well, that's not true..."

I was about to say something, but the director raised his hand to interrupt me, patted my shoulder, and spoke to me earnestly in the tone of an experienced person:

"I understand, I understand. Young people... it's normal to do some bold things occasionally in order to get into the mood for filming. I won't tell anyone about this. Don't be nervous."

It seems like you're thinking even more crookedly!

Seeing that he seemed to have understood everything, I finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to explain. However...what I couldn't understand was why Xia Xiaoyao didn't explain anything to him. She had argued with me before about whether she had a boyfriend, but this time she pretended nothing had happened. She didn't even explain to the director and went straight to the set.

With this thought in mind, I followed the crew back to the set. Almost everyone looked at me again at once, but perhaps because the director was next to me, this time there was less hostility or indignation in most people's eyes. It seemed that this director, who was so unruly when talking to me, was very majestic in the crew.

Looking at Xia Xiaoyao who was sitting on the bench quietly waiting for me, I just wanted to go up and say hello, but when she saw me coming, she suddenly avoided my sight and turned her head to the other side. Although this made me a little embarrassed for a while, I didn't say anything. It's human nature to avoid suspicion. After all, even if I didn't say it, she probably noticed that other people looked at us with a wrong look.

So I didn't say anything else, and quickly walked to the bench, turned my back skillfully, and sat down next to Xia Xiaoyao. Then I reached out and held Xia Xiaoyao's hand, ready to continue filming with the same progress.

But perhaps because my action was a little sudden, Xia Xiaoyao was not prepared. The moment I touched her warm palm, she trembled slightly like a frightened animal, and quickly pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

"what..."

Hearing this sweet voice that was so charming that it almost captivated people to the core, I almost thought that I had just done something unspeakable. I was sure that it was her hand I just held, so why did she react so strongly?

Although she quickly realized her gaffe and held my hand again, this really hurt me badly. I could even see the blue veins on the forehead of the lighting technician standing in front of me, and many other people even looked at me with unfriendly eyes.

That's not the case, is it? I really didn't do anything just now!

Just when I was wondering why these people were so resentful for no apparent reason, the director's joyful voice suddenly sounded from behind me.

"Good, very good, keep it up! CUT!"

Huh? It's over? So smooth?

I thought Xia Xiaoyao would need some time to build up her emotions, and a few more takes to get into the groove, but I didn't expect she would succeed in just one go, even though she was in a very strange state just now.

"that..."

"I have something to go."

I turned to look at her with some confusion and was about to say something, but Xia Xiaoyao suddenly withdrew her hand, as if she was deliberately avoiding me. After saying a few words, she quickly got up and left.

Isn't this too weird? Even if it's to avoid suspicion, you can't even say a word, right?

I was about to catch up with her and ask what was going on, but I was suddenly stunned. Xia Xiaoyao and I are not very close, so what's the point of catching up with her, or is there anything to prove?

"Yeah, that's right, I didn't make a mistake."

When I was staring at Xia Xiaoyao's back in a daze, I suddenly heard the director's voice in my ears. I was startled and turned around, and found that he had come behind me without anyone noticing. Looking at his look as if he saw through everything, I even felt a little guilty for no reason.

"Boy, are you interested in pursuing a career in acting? Although your basic skills are poor, I can see that you still have some talent."

He occasionally gave me a look of approval while he was talking. For a moment, I even really thought I had a talent for this. But after the enthusiasm passed and I calmed down, I could clearly feel the gap between fantasy and reality. Apart from anything else, for a powerless person like me, jumping into the entertainment industry was like jumping into a sea of ​​fire.

Even if I was lucky enough to have a benefactor, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. Not to mention that I don’t like the life of a star who often has to show up in public and hype is as ordinary as eating. Moreover, I don’t have any talent that can be put on the table.

Just when I was thinking about how to politely refuse and leave, Xia Xiaoyao's assistant seemed to see my embarrassment, interrupted our conversation, and told the director that Xia Xiaoyao had something urgent to do and had to go back first, thus helping me out. I took the opportunity, found an excuse, and left as well.

But just when I was about to go back, I didn't expect that the assistant actually told me that Xia Xiaoyao wanted to give me a ride. This really confused me. She was just ignoring me, why did she suddenly invite me again? Is she going to tell me something?

Although I refused for a while, it was a long way from our dormitory building, and it was also on the way, so I still "reluctantly" accepted it.

But what puzzled me was that Xia Xiaoyao kept looking at the scenery outside the window the whole way and had no intention of talking to me at all, as if she was sulking.

Of course this is just my guess. After all, she is wearing a mask and sunglasses now, and I can't see the expression on her face at all. But I think based on my experience, I should be able to guess it right.

But Xia Xiaoyao's hot and cold attitude confused me.

Although I had many questions in my mind, I didn't have any suicidal thoughts of offending others when they were angry, so we didn't say a word to each other along the way. It was not until the assistant told me that we had arrived that I reacted.

Looking at Xia Xiaoyao who was looking out the window silently, and the assistant who was looking at me innocently, I opened the car door awkwardly, but then I remembered something and said to the assistant:

"Um...wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

The young assistant nodded silently, and I ran to the store downstairs to buy some things as a thank you for giving me a ride.

After much hesitation, I finally chose the clichéd milk tea. After all, there are only so many shops around here, and I can't give away stinky tofu or skewers, right? That would be too weird.

I bought two cups of milk tea, then walked to the car and knocked on the door. The window slowly lowered, and I took the opportunity to pass the milk tea in.

"This is a thank you gift."

Xia Xiaoyao seemed to be stunned when she saw the milk tea in my hand. It took her a while to react before she took it. She looked at the milk tea in her hand, then looked at me. Just when I thought there was something wrong with the milk tea I bought, she said to me -

"Thank you."

For a moment, I suddenly felt that her behavior just now was more like shyness than anger, but before I could confirm it, after she finished speaking, she rolled up the car window and drove away in a hurry. Perhaps it was really as the young assistant said, she had urgent matters to deal with.

I waved in the direction the car was going, and only put my hands down after it disappeared from my sight, because I had a feeling that she was also waving at me from the car.

On the way back, everything around me was so ordinary. Nothing changed because of today’s special experience. For a moment, I even felt like I was dreaming. If I mentioned today’s experience to myself a few days ago, I would probably think that my future self was crazy.

Even now I feel that everything that happened from yesterday to today was just a dream. There is a sense of emptiness in my heart for a moment, as if I woke up from a dream. Now that I think about it carefully, I was just lucky and participated in the shooting of a MV for a popular star.

There is no intersection in our lives, and there will be no sparks due to some accidents. Maybe it is an unforgettable memory for me, but for her it may be just a small episode in life. There is nothing to be happy about or look forward to.

I pushed open the door and saw that the three men were just as I expected, they had all gotten up and were playing games. I opened the "Old Man Ring" that I had just downloaded yesterday and played for a while. I have to say that games are really the best way to eliminate a person's worries, because after I opened this game, all the doubts and worries in life turned into one thought at this moment - how to kill this bastard in front of me who had killed me dozens of times.

When I felt a little hungry, I turned around and saw that it was dark. I took off my headphones and skillfully took out the instant noodles from my cupboard, but when I saw the words "Old-style Pickled Cabbage" on the package... I don't know why I suddenly lost my appetite.

Uh, forget it, let’s go to the cafeteria to eat.

I was just about to ask the three of them if they wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat together, but I found that the three of them were huddled together furtively. I didn't know what they were looking at, but as an experienced person, I immediately smelled the scent of the girls, put down the mouse and hurried over.

"Look, the girl didn't even take me with her. How disloyal!"

But when I squeezed in, I found that it was not the pornographic picture I was familiar with, but a photo with great artistic color——

Under the morning sun, on the campus, on a bench, the girl looked at the figure beside her, her eyes revealing a youthful yet extremely pure emotion. This scene cannot be described in words, because the shy blush on the girl's face is better than a long speech.

Chapter 7 A wonderful encounter

"It's finally over. Old Zhao's class almost cured my insomnia. I think he has a better future as a psychologist than as a teacher."

After finishing the last class of the day, I opened the door, threw the calculus book in my hand onto the table, and then skillfully pulled over a chair and sat on it.

To be honest, everything about our major is good, but the most frustrating thing is that as long as we have classes, they must be early classes, and there is no chance to sleep in.

"Come on, Lin Ran, when have you ever suffered from insomnia? Don't you think so, Fatty... Fatty?"

When I heard what Xiao Li said, I subconsciously prepared to start my verbal attack mode and attack each other, but I didn't wait for Fatty to start the fight as usual. On the contrary, he was looking me back and forth with a scrutinizing look. Although I don't want to say...but he has been in this state since last night.

Even though I am a senior "philosophy master" and have had the honor of communicating with Master Beast, Teacher VAN, Billy and other masters, I cannot stand being followed around by a grown man for a whole day!

Seeing this, I quickly jumped behind Xiao Li, pushed him out gently, gave him a thumbs up and said:

"Come on, Xiao Li, Fatty has been transferred to a senior brother, your 'foundation' is here."

After hearing what I said, Xiao Li looked at Fatty in shock, and Lao Wang, who was standing next to me watching the show, looked at us both with even more shock after hearing what I said. After seeing our expressions, Fatty waved his hands, returned to his usual self, and lazily sat back on his sofa chair.

"Just kidding, I'm straight, okay? I was just thinking about the photo from yesterday. Don't you think that man's back looks a lot like Lin Ran?"

Seeing that the topic was not right, I quickly tried to fool him by laughing it off like I did yesterday, but the fat man didn't seem to buy it. He still looked at me with suspicion, and for a moment I even felt that his glasses were flashing white light that only appears in anime.

"You were called to a meeting yesterday morning, and you haven't been in the right state since you came back. You are totally unlike your usual self. My experience of watching Conan for more than 2,000 episodes tells me that something big must have happened during this period!"

Oh my god, when did the fat guy become a detective? Can Conan solve cases these days?

Looking at the fat man's penetrating eyes, I just felt a little hairy on my back. I even felt the exclusive saxophone music of the suspect's confession in Conan ringing in my ears.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Uh ah...I'll go open the door!"

Just when I was struggling with how to answer, there was a sudden rapid knock on the door of the quiet dormitory. At that moment, I felt as if I had ascended from hell to heaven, so I took two steps at a time and quickly walked to the door before they could react.

But the moment I grasped the door handle, a strong sense of déjà vu made me suddenly stunned.

Thinking back on what I've experienced in the past two days, it seems like a girl will appear whenever I open the door. The day before yesterday it was Xiao Jingwen, yesterday it was Xia Xiaoyao, and today it's......

Although I am not superstitious, who can say for sure about metaphysics? Thinking of this, I took a deep breath. At this moment, I felt like a player who had recharged 648 times to draw a "wife". I opened the door with great nervousness and anticipation.

"Ah, Brother Lin, it's me... Um..."

"Peng!"

Damn, I really shouldn't believe in metaphysics. Where's the girl I promised to meet? Why is it a rough guy this time? Damn it, return the goods!!!

"Brother Lin, Boss Lin, don't close the door! My brother is in trouble... Help! Open the door!"

I didn't even need to think about it. Just by hearing this, I guessed that it was a troublesome matter. However, we were classmates who lived in opposite dormitories, and we were both members of the Student Union, so I couldn't just stand by and watch him get hurt.

So I sighed and opened the door again, but when I saw that he was holding a stack of documents, my eyes twitched. Although I had already guessed it, I still asked symbolically:

"What's going on this time?"

"Brother Lin, this is really urgent. Our department has to hold a meeting now. These documents need to be given to the School of Finance... er, the Student Union of the Department of Finance. I have to leave now. I'll give these to you. I'll definitely treat you to a meal some other day!"

I was just about to grab him and ask him which battalion's equipment... no, where is the chicken leg that he said he would treat me to last time, but I didn't expect him to throw the information in his hand into my hand and ran away.

Damn, this old pigeon runs pretty fast!

Looking at the thick stack of documents in my hand, I felt both headache and happiness. The headache was that I finally had no classes in the afternoon, and my plan to have a good rest and slack off was ruined. The happiness was that I temporarily escaped from the misery of being interrogated by a few buddies.

After all, although we often played together, we could control ourselves when something really happened, so they let me leave the dormitory after saying that we would settle the score later.

...

I followed the address he sent me on WeChat and came to the meeting place. However, when I arrived, I still suspected that I had seen it wrong. I looked back and forth several times because... I really couldn't understand why the meeting place would be in the cafeteria.

I looked at the time and found that it was still early for the agreed time, so I went to the window and bought a few buns to prepare for my lunch. After all, buns are quick and affordable for college students like us. Other windows have to queue for a long time, but for buns, it only takes a few tens of seconds from ordering to picking up. Even after I finished the bun in my hand, some students who ordered spicy hot pot had not yet received their meals.

I looked around and found the most conspicuous seat in the cafeteria to sit down. This way, it would be convenient for my classmates from the Finance Department to find me. After all, the guy only told me to meet in the cafeteria, but he didn't say where in the cafeteria. The cafeteria in our school is not big or small, and it can accommodate thousands of people for dining. If I really have to look for them one by one, wouldn't I be exhausted to death?

I put the thick stack of documents on the dining table and was about to check my phone to kill some time, but I found that for some reason, a lot of people were looking at me, and some of them had looks so intense that they almost had a heart in their eyes.

Why are so many people looking at me? Has the seal of my beauty been lifted? Someone finally discovered that I am a hidden potential stock? But... why are all men looking at me? ? ?

Holy shit, are these people crazy? Or did I miss some human evolution?
