I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 16
byChapter 16 Wen Bei goes on an appointment
The early morning sun shines through the classroom windows, casting mottled light and shadow on the desks.
When Xie Shuhan walked into the classroom, the noisy voices almost lifted the roof, which was completely different from the previous quietness.
The students gathered together in twos and threes, with excited looks on their faces, and the discussion was lively.
“Have you heard? The school is going to hold a campus singing competition, and each department will nominate contestants!”
“Really or not? That would be so interesting! I wonder who will sign up?”
“There must be many great singers who can sing well, so I’m really lucky!”
Discussions continued, and Xie Shuhan walked straight to his seat and put his schoolbag in the hole of the table, still calmly moving.
Monitor Liu Qiwen was counting the number of people with the registration form. When he saw him coming in, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked over.
“Xie Shuhan,” Liu Qiwen said with an expectant smile on his face, “Do you want to participate in this campus singer competition? Everyone wants to hear what it’s like to hear the god of learning sing!”
He originally just asked casually, not expecting Xie Shuhan to agree.
After all, Xie Shuhan has always been aloof and taciturn, focusing on his studies and has never been interested in such campus activities.
Xie Shuhan raised his eyes to look at him. There was no wave in his eyes. After a few seconds of silence, he nodded lightly: “Okay.”
A simple word, but Liu Qiwen was stunned on the spot, and the registration form in his hand almost fell to the ground.
“You…you agreed?” He was caught off guard, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The surrounding students also heard their conversation, and instantly became quiet. They all turned to look at Xie Shuhan, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
“Did I hear correctly? Xie Shuhan actually agreed to participate in the singing competition?”
“Oh my God! I can actually hear the God of Learning singing in my lifetime. What a huge profit!”
“Who would have thought that the God of Study is not only good at studying, but also can sing? This is so versatile!”
After the surprise, there was heated discussion again in the classroom, and everyone was excited about the unexpected news.
Xie Shuhan, however, seemed not to have heard these comments. He sat down calmly, took out his textbook and started studying, as if he was not the one who just agreed to participate in the competition.
The news quickly spread throughout the campus as if it had wings, and soon dominated the home page of the campus forum.
“Surprise! Xie Shuhan, the cold god of learning, has come down to earth to compete in the campus singing competition and may be crowned a god!”
“Who knows! What kind of magical experience does it feel like for Xie Shuhan to sing? I’m already looking forward to it!”
“Does anyone know why the god of learning suddenly wants to participate in the singing competition? Is there any special reason?”
The posts on the forum are constantly refreshing, and everyone is speculating on the reason why Xie Shuhan participated in the competition.
Some say he wants to challenge himself, some say he does it for someone he likes, and some say he just does it on a whim.
There are various speculations and the popularity remains high.
Xie Shuhan didn’t care about all this. He participated in the competition just to find an outlet for his suppressed secret love. As for the outcome, he didn’t care.
When Lu Jin saw the news on the forum, he was really surprised.
He leaned on the back of the chair in the dormitory, sliding his fingers across the screen, looking at the posts about Xie Shuhan’s competition, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Xie Shuhan actually wants to sing?He was really curious about what Xie Shuhan would look like when he sang.
Lu Jin felt inexplicably excited at the thought of hearing Xie Shuhan’s singing, and the previous loss and depression also dissipated a lot.
He took out his mobile phone and wanted to send a message to Xie Shuhan and ask him what song he was going to sing. He hesitated and put the phone down again.
They are just friends now. If they are too proactive, they may arouse Xie Shuhan’s resentment.
There was no class in the afternoon, so Lu Jin went out to buy a thermos cup with excellent quality, boiled hot water in the dormitory, carefully poured it in, and then walked towards Duzhi Building with the thermos cup in hand.
He guessed that Xie Shuhan would most likely be reading in the previous classroom.
Sure enough, when he walked to the door of classroom 4032, he saw the familiar figure through the window.
Xie Shuhan was sitting by the window, and the sunlight fell on the top of his hair, casting a soft halo.
He was looking down at the book, his profile was cold and focused, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Lu Jin opened the door and walked in, his footsteps very gentle, for fear of disturbing him.
“Xie Shuhan.” He called softly, holding the thermos cup tightly in his hand, like a large dog waiting for praise.
Xie Shuhan raised his head and saw that it was him. There was no obvious emotion in his eyes, and he just asked calmly: “What’s wrong?”
“It’s for you,” Lu Jin handed the thermos cup to him with a flattering smile on his face, “You are sick. Drinking more hot water is good for your health. This is a new one I bought specially for you.”
Xie Shuhan reached out and took the thermos cup. His fingertips touched the body of the cup and felt the warm touch and the heavy feeling conveyed by the material. It was of extraordinary value at first glance.
He raised his eyes to look at Lu Jin, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
“Thank you,” he paused and said, “How much is it? I’ll transfer it to you.”
“No, no, no,” Lu Jin waved his hands quickly, with a brighter smile on his face, “I want to buy it for you.” He said the next sentence very softly.
Xie Shuhan really didn’t hear the last sentence clearly. He saw Lu Jin’s sincere eyes and didn’t ask any more questions. He just nodded: “Then I’ll treat you to dinner next time. I’ll treat it as thank you.”
“Okay!” Lu Jin’s eyes lit up, he immediately seized the opportunity and blurted out, “It’s better to choose a different day, let’s do it tonight!”
He was afraid that Xie Shuhan would refuse, so after he finished speaking, he stared into his eyes with a trace of expectation and nervousness.
Xie Shuhan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn’t expect him to be so eager.
He looked down at the thermos cup in his hand, then looked up at Lu Jin. After a few seconds of silence, he nodded lightly: “That’s okay.”
After receiving the affirmative answer, Lu Jin felt happy and couldn’t hide the smile on his face.
He was still struggling with how to approach Xie Shuhan, but he didn’t expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
“Then where should we eat at night?” Lu Jin asked, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
“The private restaurant in the back street of the school has good food and the taste is quite authentic,” Xie Shuhan thought for a moment and said, “I’ll wait for you there at six o’clock in the evening.”
“Okay! It’s a deal!” Lu Jin nodded vigorously, his heart full of expectations.
He watched Xie Shuhan lower his head to read again, and the sunlight fell on his face, outlining his exquisite outline, and he felt a little more fond in his heart.
Lu Jin didn’t interrupt any more, turned around and left the classroom gently.
Xie Shuhan in the classroom looked at Lu Jin’s leaving figure and then looked down at the thermos cup in his hand.
He unscrewed the lid, and warm water vapor hit his face, with a faint fragrance of tea.
He took a sip, and the warm tea slid down his throat, warming his stomach and heart.
The sun shines through the window and shines on the thermos cup, reflecting a warm light.
Xie Shuhan held the thermos cup, and the warmth from his fingertips gave him a long-lost warmth in his heart.
He lowered his head to read again, but this time, the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly raised.
