I want to have a normal campus romance

"I'm sorry, you're a good person."

The young man thought that things had turned around, but after hearing the "good guy card" Liu Tongtong directly handed out, his eyes, which had regained their brightness, dimmed again. It was like a bolt from the blue, and he walked towards the door in a daze.

However, after seeing the situation here, the other two looked at me unfriendly. Seeing this, I took a step forward to disperse their aura. After all, sympathizing with that guy is one thing, and expressing one's own position is another.

Fortunately, apart from this, they did not take any further action. After all, although they were at the age of full vigor and vitality, fortunately they were college students like me, and not street thugs.

So a few people just looked at me unhappily, didn't say anything, just took the things they bought at the front desk, and left without looking back.

After seeing the three of them leave, Bai Yun awkwardly let go of her hands. She looked like a little white rabbit that had done something wrong, and I couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

It seemed like she was afraid that I would blame her for her sudden action just now... This made me feel a little amused, because if possible, I even hoped that she could hold me for a little longer.

Of course...this kind of thing is just something you can just think about. If you really do it, it might scare her.

So even though I was secretly delighted inside, on the surface I still pretended not to care and waved to her to show that it was okay.

But at this moment, I felt someone staring at me from behind, but when I turned around, I found that no one was looking at me.

Only Liu Tongtong, licking the ice cream cone in her hand, stopped in front of the glass curtain wall not far away, silently looking at the scenery not far away.

Is it an illusion?

That's not right. Why does it sound like I'm setting some kind of goal?

Of course... no matter what, it's better to leave here first. After all, because of what happened just now, quite a few people have gathered here.

Although I don't care about other people's eyes, the feeling of being watched is definitely not a good one.

Seeing more and more people gathering outside the dessert shop, I hurriedly took Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong and walked towards Binjiang Avenue outside the door. There were more people there, so we would be less conspicuous.

But when I got here, I found that there were indeed a lot of people here, or rather, a lot. Although it was not crowded, I have to say... the pedestrian street, which is usually deserted, was exceptionally lively today.

There are all kinds of stalls set up around, some selling snacks, some holding raffles, and even some painters setting up stalls to paint nearby.

Bai Yun seemed to have rarely been to such occasions. She followed me closely, looking around. In order to prevent us from getting separated, she held my clothes tightly and chatted with me from time to time along the way. The atmosphere, which had just become cold because of someone's approaching her, quickly eased a lot.

However, Liu Tongtong had no interest in the nearby scenery. Instead, she glanced at me from time to time, and sometimes even smiled casually.

Could it be that I put my clothes on backwards?

But after I checked, I found that there was nothing wrong with my clothes. Just when I looked up at her in confusion, the girl turned her head to the other side.

At this moment, I only felt Bai Yun pulling the corner of my clothes. I shuddered for no reason and even felt inexplicably guilty.

But when I turned around, I found that Bai Yun didn't look at me. Instead, she was standing in front of an ordinary stall. I followed her and took a quick look and found that it was a fortune-telling stall. There were many young couples stopping there to tell fortunes.

I saw the old fortune teller muttering something mysterious...but mostly he said some sweet words to make people happy. After all, only in this way...can those young couples happily pay the money and leave.

But just as we were about to leave, the old man suddenly stopped us and said to me:

"My young man, I see that you have a ruddy complexion, which means you have a peach blossom in your destiny. However, your forehead is dark...which conflicts with your peach blossom...I am afraid it is a peach blossom disaster! But it doesn't matter, I have a talisman here, which is very effective! Do you want to take a look?"

Chapter 166 Amulet

"what?"

After hearing what the old man said, the corners of my eyes twitched. Logically speaking...when selling things like amulets, everyone does it for good luck. Who would curse the customer right from the start?

Although I have learned some Feng Shui and I Ching from my grandfather, I have never seen any fortune teller who can tell a person's fortune by looking at his face without generating the eight characters. Maybe there is one... but I have never seen one.

Besides, if someone really had that ability, he would have gone to tell fortunes for those bigwigs in the business world. Who would set up a stall on a pedestrian street like this?

"Young man, if it weren't for our fate, I would never have warned you!"

"..."

"Don't disbelieve me, I'm telling you... You may face a bloody disaster, but it doesn't matter... The amulets I have here are very effective, they have all been blessed, and they will help you turn misfortune into good fortune."

After hearing what the old man said, Bai Yun, who was standing next to me, stared at me and blinked. Even Liu Tongtong, after hearing what he said, looked at me as if she saw something interesting, which made me feel a little headache.

Seeing that old man trying to sell me all kinds of outrageous amulets again, I glared at him unhappily. It seemed that he saw that I was not easy to fool, so he smiled awkwardly.

But after looking at Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong standing next to me, he grinned again, took out a few very cute amulets from his pile of amulets and started selling them:

"Two young ladies, one is extremely talented and beautiful, the other is extremely smart. I have a few amulets here for you to take a look at. This one is for locking love... a domineering boyfriend will be unfaithful in the future. Oh, and this one... can help people find true love, and it is also very effective."

“Are you a fortune teller or a salesman?”

Seeing that the old man was talking more and more fluently, I quickly interrupted him and took two steps forward and knocked on his desk. It seemed that he knew I was not someone to be trifled with, so although he was unwilling, he still stopped talking.

However, Bai Yun seemed to be very interested in those amulets. After all, those amulets were some cute little pendants. No wonder they were so popular with a girl like Bai Yun. Even her mobile phone had some cute little ornaments hanging on it.

But Liu Tongtong didn't seem to be interested in those amulets. Instead, she stood there, seemingly thinking about something.

At this time, Bai Yun seemed to have found a small pendant from the amulets. The boss grinned and introduced it to Bai Yun:

"Hehehe, little girl, you have good taste. This is a four-leaf clover amulet. The four leaves represent love, health, reputation and wealth. It can bring good luck and unexpected surprises to people."

After hearing what the old man said, I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart. The four-leaf clover is obviously a Western thing, but it's ridiculous that an amulet made of this thing can be blessed...

Especially when combined with the old man's attire, he looks like a Taoist priest holding a cross, totally like a charlatan.

"Um...how much is this?"

"Hey, this is the best amulet I have. I'll give you fifty--"

"Ok?"

Although spending money to buy happiness is one thing, being slaughtered is another. Seeing that old man opened his mouth so high, I narrowed my eyes slightly, and then glared at him fiercely.

The boss's expression stiffened when he saw this, then he swallowed, smiled awkwardly, and immediately coughed twice before changing his tone:

"Well... although I should sell this amulet to you for fifty dollars, but seeing that you and I have a connection, I will take a loss... I'll sell it to you for ten dollars."

When I heard what he said, I naturally knew that he suffered the loss with tears and made nine dollars in anger, but I didn't point anything out to him. After all, he was full of golden sentences and said all the nice things.

Things like amulets are nothing more than spending money to buy happiness. There is not much point in being nitpicking about who suffers a loss and who gains.

If I want to buy them, I can even buy dozens of the same amulets from Pinxixi for 9.9 yuan with free shipping.

What really matters is the added value behind it.

Looking at Bai Yun holding the four-leaf clover pendant with a faint smile on her face, I smiled too, then took out my phone from my pocket to pay, but unexpectedly Bai Yun paid before me.

"Hahaha, little girl...I hope you can find your soulmate soon!"

When the old man saw that the money was paid, he smiled even more and said a lot of good things. After Bai Yun heard what the old man said, her fair face turned slightly red, while Liu Tongtong looked at me meaningfully.

I don't know why, but after hearing what the old man said, I always felt that the atmosphere around me was a little wrong. The old man seemed to understand something, and his mouth, which was about to say a few more words, immediately closed.

Although I was a little confused, I didn't stay here for too long. But after I walked for a while, Liu Tongtong seemed to remember something, and suddenly put her hands together and said to me as if asking for help:

"Um... little brother, I have something to do...I will be back soon, don't worry about me, I will come to you later."

"what?"

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as you accept it!"

Seeing me standing there in a daze, Liu Tongtong turned around and left with a smile without waiting for me to react. When I came to my senses, I found that the girl had already run far away.

Is this a deliberate attempt to create an opportunity for Bai Yun and I to be alone? But that shouldn't be the case... If that were the case, this little girl wouldn't have followed me.

And looking at her expression, it seemed like she really had something to do.

"Tongtong is often busy with her own things, but she usually comes back soon."

As if she saw that I was a little stunned at the moment, Bai Yun, who was standing next to me, took the initiative to excuse her friend, as if she was afraid that I would misunderstand her.

Seeing Bai Yun like this, I couldn't help but feel a little amused, because maybe she didn't even know that Liu Tongtong had "sold" her.

But none of this matters. What matters is...what to do next?

To be honest, standing here and waiting for the girl might be a good choice. Although she didn't ask us to wait for her here, no matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't say to Bai Yun, "Let's go shopping first."

After all, Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong are good friends. I can't encourage Bai Yun to abandon her good friend and follow me shopping, right?

But what I didn't expect was that Bai Yun actually took the initiative to speak to me:

"Lin...Lin Ran."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Why don't we just walk around here and wait for Tongtong?"

"what?"

Chapter 167 Mirror Flowers and Moon in the Water

Although we were just strolling around the neighborhood, this was the first time that Bai Yun and I went shopping outside of school. In fact... until all this happened, I felt like I was dreaming.

Once upon a time, I also fantasized that one day I would walk on the street with the girl who was like the white moonlight, just like an unspoken date between the two of us.

But when all this became a reality, I began to doubt everything around me, to the point that I even pinched my thigh.

It was not until the tingling pain like an electric current passed through my body that I was sure that everything before my eyes was not a dream.

As if to cool down, a little water mist was sprayed on the street. The sunlight penetrated the water mist and formed a visible beam of light in front of my eyes, just like the light that only appears in fairy tales, and then it was spread on each of us.

For a moment, I couldn't help but look next to me. The light shone on Bai Yun, making her look particularly charming, like an angel loved and blessed by God.

Perhaps feeling my gaze, Bai Yun looked towards me in confusion, and our eyes met.

Her eyes seemed a little erratic, as if she was trying to find something to focus on. She looked a little nervous, and I realized that I was too absorbed in watching her. Anyone would feel nervous if they kept staring at someone like this.

But just when I was about to say something to ease the embarrassment, I felt someone bumped into my shoulder, and I staggered and took a step to the side. The distance of a fist between Bai Yun and me disappeared as I took a step forward.

"Oh, sorry, uh—"

The man who bumped into me apologized to me, but when he saw Bai Yun beside me, his expression froze again, and then the apology on his face turned into a little envy, as if he was saying that I was really lucky.

“There are quite a lot of people.”

"Ah."

After hearing Bai Yun's response, I took two steps to the side awkwardly, leaving some space for us to maneuver.

But what I didn’t expect was that Bai Yun actually followed my footsteps and slowly moved towards me.

The crowd around was very lively, but I had no time to care about the crowded shops, because after I took that step unexpectedly, I was nervously thinking about what was going on in Bai Yun's mind?

What kind of person am I in Bai Yun's eyes? I don't think I am much better than others, nor do I think I am special. After all, those excellent and special talents should be sitting in the classrooms of Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Am I a classmate I met by accident, or a new friend I made as we get to know each other more and more, or...

Perhaps feeling my gaze, Bai Yun's body stiffened for a moment. In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, I quickly turned my head and casually looked around at the scenery that I no longer cared about.

But at this moment, I felt a resentful gaze coming towards me, which made me swallow immediately. When I looked sideways, I found that the gaze was clearly from Bai Yun.

What happened? What did I just do?

No, I clearly haven’t done anything yet.

Just when I was confused, I suddenly felt a slight coolness on the back of my hand, which brought me back to my senses immediately. That slight coolness was clearly Bai Yun's little hand.

Just when I was feeling a little secretly delighted because of the little accident where the backs of our hands just collided with each other, I suddenly felt a slightly cool and soft touch on the palm of my hand.

At this moment my mind went blank, and then my body felt like it was struck by lightning. After a brief stiffness, I felt a tingling sensation. It was not until I came to my senses and confirmed that I realized it was not my illusion. I was holding Bai Yun's hand.

“There are quite a lot of people.”

There was a hint of nervousness in Bai Yun's calm tone. The same sentence, spoken by different people, sounded different to me at this moment.

And her words...no matter what, they gave me an excuse to continue holding her hand.

We walked hand in hand on the street, and Bai Yun followed me with her head down, looking thoughtful. The people around us cast various glances at us from time to time, but they obviously all thought of me as her boyfriend.

I felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time, I felt an indescribable sense of pleasure, as if I were a person walking in a hot desert and unexpectedly drank a sip of cool spring water.

There was a sense of relief and satisfaction for drinking the clear spring water, but afterwards... I felt confused and frustrated by the endless yellow sand ahead, because that sip of the clear spring water had no direct relationship with whether I could get out of the desert.

Just like when Bai Yun and I held hands and were mistaken for a couple, it didn't mean that I took it for granted. But whether it was a coincidence or God's will, at least I was lucky enough to experience it once, which was a gift from God.

In the central square, the fountains that usually don't use water were spraying dazzling water columns under the sunlight, and beautiful and soothing songs were playing in the surrounding shopping malls. What made me laugh and cry was that... this song was unexpectedly familiar.

From time to time, people would hold bread crumbs and feed the white pigeons that were leisurely strolling on the benches in the square. Couples were strolling in the square, some were cuddling each other on the benches, and some were stopping by the fountain, forming a beautiful landscape.

Even though the crowd around us was no longer as crowded as before, neither of us let go of each other's hands. Perhaps we were used to it, or perhaps we had forgotten.

We walked around the square for a while, and then found an empty bench and sat down. To be honest... Bai Yun's hands were really comfortable to hold, soft and cool, and her delicate and smooth skin was like a flawless piece of jade.
