I want to have a normal campus romance

"Hey...are we there yet?"

Liu Tongtong's dazed voice sounded beside my ears. I turned my head slightly and found that she was looking around with sleepy eyes, like a child who had just woken up. Then, as if she had discovered something incredible, she put her little head on my shoulder and said to me with a smile:

"Hey... Bro, are you going to take me to the hotel?"

After hearing her words, I couldn't help but twitch my eyes. At the same time, I felt that this little girl was drunk and still worried about me. The hotel was obviously across the street. Besides... if I went to the hotel in this situation, people who didn't know me would think I picked up a corpse from the bar next door.

However, the speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. After hearing what Liu Tongtong said, many people around us cast various looks at us, which made me feel a little overwhelmed.

"Don't drink so much next time."

"I...I'm not drunk, just kidding...I'm a great drinker, okay!"

"Then what is this?"

"eleven!"

"..."

After hearing what Liu Tongtong said, I couldn't help but sigh, but I didn't deny it. After all, it was meaningless to deny such a thing. I hugged her slowly, helped her sit on the steps next to me, and then quickly walked into the supermarket next to me.

After getting a few bottles of mineral water and some hangover-relief yogurt, I quickly walked to the cashier to pay the bill, but the cashier looked at me, then at Liu Tongtong who was sitting on the steps in front of the door, and revealed a meaningful expression.

"Young man, please be safe."

After hearing what the uncle said, I was stunned at first, but when I saw him pointing his finger at a small shelf next to the cashier counter, looking at the exquisite blue and red small packages, and then looking at the couple hotel opposite, I just felt the corners of my mouth twitching uncontrollably.

My goodness, isn't this tempting me to go further and further down the path of breaking the law and committing crimes?

"Ahahahaha, uncle, you really know how to take jokes."

Seeing this, I quickly laughed, paid the bill in a hurry, and walked out with the bag, so as to prevent this unruly uncle from selling me some weird things again.

The nights in Jinhai are much colder than the days. Looking at Liu Tongtong who was shivering with her arms around her chest, I sighed, slowly took off my coat and put it on her, then sat down on the steps next to her.

Liu Tongtong was startled at first, but when she saw it was me, she seemed to calm down. She turned her head and slowly leaned on me.

I wanted to say something when I saw her like that, but when I saw that she looked exhausted, as if she had transferred all her weight to me, I stopped talking. Then I slowly took out the yogurt I had just bought from the plastic bag, unscrewed it, and handed it to her.

When Liu Tongtong saw the yogurt in my hand, she was stunned at first, then her eyes became a little complicated, and finally she even burst out laughing, which made me suddenly confused.

"why are you laughing?"

"There are countless men who want to get me drunk with wine, but you are the first one who wants to get me drunk with yogurt."

Chapter 100 Dream of Falling Flowers

I was stunned when I heard what Liu Tongtong said, but she was very satisfied with my reaction. She patted my thigh with laughter, and then held the yogurt I handed to her with both hands and drank it silently.

After the laughter, the surroundings became quiet again. At around nine o'clock in the evening, the streets were busy with traffic and there were still many people on the streets. In this lively atmosphere, we seemed out of place with our surroundings.

Liu Tongtong leaned her head on my shoulder and tightened the coat I put on her, and I let her lean on me. Perhaps in front of passers-by, this scene made us look as sweet as a couple in love.

But unfortunately, we are not a couple, and at this moment we are not as sweet as outsiders imagine. But if you ask me what the situation is now, I can’t explain it clearly...or rather, I have never been clear about our relationship from the beginning to the end.

We are said to be friends...but my relationship with Liu Tongtong is not that ordinary. Even though I know that this may be due to her personality, I still cannot associate our relationship with that of ordinary friends.

As I thought about this, I stared blankly at Liu Tongtong who was leaning on me. My movements were so large that I believed Liu Tongtong must have known that I was looking at her, but she seemed not to notice and kept drinking the yogurt in the bottle.

I opened my mouth and wanted to say something, but at this moment, the whistle of a passing car sounded around me, like a pre-set prank, quietly interrupting my original train of thought. Only a loud single tone was left in my ears, and Liu Tongtong looked at the street in front of her silently without saying a word.

This familiar sense of déjà vu made me stunned for a moment. Many memories that I had piled up in a corner of my memory burst out uncontrollably at this moment. That familiar and hazy voice slowly rang in my ears.

......

"So what is my identity? Am I a shield for your suitor? Or something else?"

"actually, I--"

“Thump, thump—thump!”

......

I recalled in my mind the time when Liu Tongtong once dragged me to the club to recruit new members. When I think about it carefully, it actually happened just a few weeks ago, but I don’t know why... at this moment, it seems like everything happened in the past, just like a yellowed old photo.

Not until the long sound of the flute ended did time seem to resume its flow, and Liu Tongtong turned her head and looked at me slowly. Looking into her clear eyes, many things that I had not figured out before seemed to become clear at this moment.

I used to think that the important response was covered by thunder, car sounds, and bell sounds. It was just a cliché plot that only appears in stories. But now I seem to understand a lot. Maybe...it was not an accident caused by fate, but the result of deliberate arrangement.

Now that I think about it carefully, Liu Tongtong might not have been looking at the scenery in the distance at that time, but at the hour hand on the clock tower of our school. The response covered by the bell was not a trick of fate, but an alternative answer after an intentional pause.

Liu Tongtong is a smart girl. Maybe she can guess most of what I am thinking. The smarter a girl is, the more she will consider other people's emotions.

This reminds me of when Fatty was a freshman in college and was about to confess his love to a girl he liked, Xiao Li, Lao Wang and others went to support him. However, the girl seemed to have noticed something and changed the subject and made an excuse to leave before Fatty could even open his mouth.

Although Xiao Li and Lao Wang later encouraged Fatty to confess his feelings again, Fatty refused to go again no matter what, because Fatty and I knew that the girl did not refuse explicitly, but was just giving Fatty some face.

Maybe...not responding is itself an implicit response.

I thought I had lived a very clear life, and even believed that the men and women who fell into emotional traps were too confused or too indecisive. However, when I fell into it, I could not avoid becoming one of them.

"Brother, the taxi you called seems to be here."

"Huh? Oh oh oh."

Liu Tongtong's words woke me up from my self-centered world, and only then did I realize that there was a car parked in front of us. And only then did I realize that the car that just honked was the one in front of us.

Seeing this, I slowly helped Liu Tongtong up and walked towards the car in front of us. After hesitating for a moment, I still sat in the back seat with Liu Tongtong. After all, leaving a drunk person alone was more or less unsafe.

But this time was different from when we came here. We didn't laugh and play like usual. Instead, we maintained a tacit silence with each other, each thinking about our own things. When the driver saw us like this, he just smiled but didn't say anything.

I opened the car window slightly and breathed in the air outside. The night wind in Jinhai was a little cold, making me shiver unconsciously.

I subconsciously wanted to tighten my coat, but then I realized that my clothes were still on Liu Tongtong. Fortunately, Liu Tongtong didn't see my embarrassment because she was also staring blankly at the scenery outside the car window.

After arriving at the school, the driver dropped us off at the school gate. I wanted to help Liu Tongtong back to the dormitory, but she changed her words and suddenly ran behind me, put her arms around my neck and said:

"Brother, I'm drunk, please carry me."

"Ah? Weren't you drunk just now?"

"I drank that bottle of yogurt of yours and got drunk!"

"..."

It was the first time I heard that drinking yogurt would make one drunk, but I couldn't persuade this girl, so I sighed and finally carried her on my back again. Liu Tongtong smiled and pointed her finger forward, like a captain at the helm.

"set off!"

"Good good."

I walked on the campus streets with Liu Tongtong on my back. The campus at night was less lively and more chilled. Of course... this might also be because I deliberately chose some remote tree-lined paths to avoid running into acquaintances.

The remote path is sparsely populated, but it is a dating spot for couples. From time to time, you can see couples walking hand in hand nearby.

When they saw us, they would give us a smile. Some girls would clamor for their boyfriends to carry them on their backs. The boys would say that the girls were too heavy to carry, but they would honestly carry their girlfriends on their backs.

When Liu Tongtong and I saw this, we looked at each other and smiled as if we knew what was going on.

Originally, I planned to send Liu Tongtong directly back to the dormitory, but she said she wanted to sit for a while before going back. Perhaps she wanted to get rid of the smell of alcohol on her body, so we found an empty bench nearby and sat down.

The scenery here is very beautiful. In front of it is a wide artificial lake. The night breeze blows slowly, rustling the trees on the shore, and the flowers in the flower beds next to it also sway in the wind.

Liu Tongtong pushed the hair fluttering in the air behind her ears and stared at the flowers in the flowerbed next to her in a daze. It was not until another breeze blew by that she slowly came back to her senses.

"Is this Kikyo?"

Although I don't know much about flowers, I do know a little about some common flowers. After hearing what I said, Liu Tongtong smiled and praised me:

"I didn't expect...young man, you know a lot. Do you understand it well?"

"It's not understanding, it's just acquaintance."

"Then... do you know the language of Kikyo flowers?"

"Flower language?"

After I understood what Liu Tongtong said, I couldn't help but be stunned. As for the language of flowers, I only knew that roses represent romance and white lilies represent purity and elegance. I knew nothing about the rest. After all, who would specialize in this?

"Hey... I thought you knew, little brother."

"I'm not an encyclopedia, how can I know everything? Okay... I'll take you back, or the dormitory will be closed soon."

After hearing what I said, Liu Tongtong nodded, but her eyes remained on the gentian flowers in the flower bed.

"Do you like Kikyo very much?"

"like."

"Why don't you pick a few and take them back?"

Anyway, there are still a lot of gentian flowers in this flower bed, and the school won’t care as long as they are not destroyed intentionally. However, after hearing what I said, she shook her head lightly, and a hint of loneliness flashed across her usually smiling face, so much so that I even thought it was my illusion.

"Only if you don't pick them can you have more time to see them."

I was speechless for a moment, but these words were too real, making the atmosphere a little weird. She seemed to notice this, smiled at me slowly, then stood up from the bench, turned around and continued:

"Okay, I'll go back now. Thank you for today."

After hearing what Liu Tongtong said, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She clearly called me here to help block the drinking, but Liu Tongtong ended up getting a little drunk, so much so that her face is still a little red.

"I'll call Bai Yun and ask her to pick you up."

"No need, that would make Xiaoyun worry."

Just as I was about to take out my phone from my pocket, Liu Tongtong held my hand down and shook her head at me. I thought she was saying that she was drunk and would make Bai Yun worried, but for some reason, looking at her dark eyes, I felt that there was another hidden meaning.

"By the way, I'll return your clothes to you."

Liu Tongtong handed me the clothes and said jokingly:

"Being gentle to girls may be a sin."

"what?"

"Stupid! I'm leaving!"

Before I could react, Liu Tongtong walked towards the dormitory building not far away, leaving me alone standing there at a loss. When I reacted, I realized that Liu Tongtong had already gone far away.

"Why is this little girl acting so strange today?"

I sighed and was about to get up and leave, but my eyes were involuntarily drawn to the purple color next to me.

"The flower language of Platycodon grandiflorum?"

Looking at the Platycodon flowers in the flowerbed next to me, I slowly took out my phone and searched for the flower language of Platycodon -

The flower language of Platycodon flower is eternal love, love without regrets and hopelessness. According to legend, the blooming of platycodon represents the arrival of happiness, but some people are destined to miss happiness and cannot catch or keep it. Perhaps the best way to express your love is to send blessings from a distance, just like you are looking at the platycodon flowers from a distance.

Chapter 101 A bad start

"Dude, we're here."

"..."

"Dude?"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"We're here. Are you going to get off the car or not?"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

After hearing what the driver said, I couldn't help but smile awkwardly. I couldn't remember how many times I had been distracted today. Ever since last night, I couldn't help but think back to what happened yesterday. Those scenes were like an everlasting painting that lingered in my mind.

I slowly pushed open the car door and got out. In front of me was a luxurious door. The golden carvings on it told me that it was worth a lot of money. When I came to my senses, I found myself at the Zishan Garden Villa District.

I took a deep breath to clear my head, and at the same time straightened the suit I had put on specially, because I was not here to teach Mo Yuhan today, but to participate in the tutoring application that Mo Fushan mentioned.

Although this is not my first time here, the grand scene before me still makes me feel a little nervous. The carved gate is open today, unlike the closed ones in the past. The security guards who usually live in the security room also stand on both sides of the gate like welcoming guests.

I reported the house number to the security guard next to me as usual, and then walked towards the villa area. Unexpectedly, I was stopped by the security guard before I took two steps.

"Excuse me, sir, please show us your invitation letter. We need to register your information."

"Invitation card?"

After hearing what the security guard said, I was a little confused for a moment, because I had never heard of such a thing as an invitation letter. I wanted to find the security guard who I chatted with last time to help me prove my identity, but he didn't seem to be in the team.

"Sir, if you have the phone number of the owner of the villa area, you can also call to verify your identity."

When the security guard saw my stunned expression, he was also a little confused, but after all, he was a professionally trained senior security guard. After a brief pause, he reacted.
