I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Going home for dinner on the weekend

The voice-activated lights in the dormitory corridor lit up one after another with the sound of footsteps, and then dimmed slowly the moment Xie Shuhan pushed the door open.

Only half a ray of moonlight filtered through the window, casting a slender silver mark on the floor.

Xie Shuhan walked to the desk and sat down, and gently took out the neatly folded star note.

He unfolded the note and ran his fingertips over the handwriting he had just written on it. The ink pen words glowed softly under the moonlight: “2560 days, eat together, a little happy.”

He refolded the note into the shape of a star and placed it in the jar.

At this moment, the cell phone ringing suddenly broke the silence of the dormitory.

The screen lit up, with a note from “Mom” popping up on it. It was Nangong Wan calling.

Xie Shuhan calmed down his thoughts and moved his fingertips across the screen to answer the call. His voice was always gentle: “Hello, Mom.”

“Hanhan, my precious son,” Nangong Wan’s friendly and slightly cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, like a warm spring breeze.

“It’s the weekend tomorrow, can you go home for dinner? Mom went to the market today and bought your favorite shrimps and fresh pork ribs. Tomorrow, she will make braised prawns and lotus root pork ribs soup for you.”

Xie Shuhan felt warm in his heart. He could imagine his mother’s crooked eyebrows on the other end of the phone, and his tone softened unconsciously: “Well, okay, I’ll go back tomorrow.”

“Okay!” Nangong Wan’s voice became even happier, “Then please pay attention to safety on the road and go to bed early. Don’t stay up late reading. Your health is the most important thing.”

“I know, Mom, you should go to bed early.” Xie Shuhan responded softly and hung up the phone.

The dormitory became quiet again, and the moonlight outside the window seemed to be brighter. It shone on the textbook on the desk, and the writing was clearly visible.

Xie Shuhan stood up, took the toiletries, and walked to the bathroom.

He turned on the hot water, and the warm water washed over his cheeks, dispelling some fatigue and allowing those subtle emotions caused by Lu Jin to temporarily settle.

At the same time, there was a completely different scene in the other dormitory.

When Lu Jin opened the door, the smile on his face almost overflowed, and his steps became much brisker.

The silver hair glowed softly under the light, as if coated with a layer of fine sunlight.

In the dormitory, Yu Yifan was playing games in front of the computer screen, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, and his mouth made “ouch” and “beautiful” sounds from time to time.

Normally, Lu Jin would probably find him noisy, but today he found the voice particularly pleasing to the ears, and even found Yu Yifan’s frowning appearance while playing games quite pleasing to the eye.

“Brother Jin, did you hug the beauty back or something?” Yu Yifan caught a glimpse of Lu Jin’s proud look from the corner of his eye. He controlled the game character and asked without looking back, “The smile on his face never stopped, as if he had won the lottery.”

Lu Jin leaned back on his chair, crossed his legs comfortably, crossed his hands behind his head, and said, “Not yet, but I had dinner with Xie Shuhan today.”

When he said this, there was unconcealable excitement in his tone, like a child who got his beloved candy.

“Promise.” Yu Yifan rolled his eyes at him, with a hint of disgust in his tone, “Isn’t it just to have a meal? If you can, your tail will be raised to the sky.”

Lu Jin didn’t care about his complaints, he was still immersed in his own little joy, and the smile on his lips became more and more obvious.

He even felt that if there really was a tail behind his butt, it would have been swung very fast by now, and he wished that the whole world would know that he had dinner with Xie Shuhan today.

After a while, he suddenly thought, tomorrow is the weekend, Xie Shuhan should be fine, right?Do you want to ask him out for some fun?

Once this idea came up, it quickly occupied Lu Jin’s thoughts like a wildly growing vine.

Lu Jin thought about it in his mind for a long time. He picked up the phone and tapped quickly on the screen with his fingers. After thinking about it for a long time, he typed out: “Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to go out for a walk together?”

After the transmission was successful, Lu Jin put his phone on the table and stared at the screen, fearing that he would miss Xie Shuhan’s reply.

But one minute passed, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and the phone screen still didn’t light up, and there was no movement at all.

“Did he fall asleep?” Lu Jin murmured to himself, feeling a little disappointed.

He looked at the time and saw that it was only after nine o’clock. Logically speaking, Xie Shuhan should not be asleep yet.

He picked up the phone and looked at it again to confirm that the message had been sent successfully, not intercepted, and not failed to be sent. He couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.

Did Xie Shuhan not want to go out with him?Or is there really something wrong with him?

While Lu Jin was thinking wildly, Xie Shuhan finished washing.

He put on a warm yellow home clothes. The soft fabric fit his body and made his skin whiter.

Her hair was still dripping after taking a shower, and the crystal water droplets slid down her hair, sliding along her slender neck and into her collar, leaving a faint trace of water.

He wiped his hair casually with a white towel, his movements lazy and natural. The wet hair stuck to the sides of his cheeks, covering some of his eyebrows, but making him look even more beautiful.

It looks like a picture of a beauty taking a bath, with a hint of softness that is not easy to detect in the coldness.

Xie Shuhan walked to the desk and picked up the mobile phone on the table.

The screen lit up, showing an unread message, which was sent by Lu Jin twenty minutes ago.

His fingertips paused on the screen for a moment, and his eyes fell on the message: “Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to go out for a walk together?”

Xie Shuhan’s fingertips hesitated on the screen for a moment, and finally typed the reply: “I want to go home tomorrow.”

After sending it, he put the phone aside and didn’t look at it again.

He walked to the bed, opened the quilt and lay down. The moonlight shone on his face through the window, making his eyelashes tremble slightly.

In fact, he felt a little regretful in his heart. If there was no agreement to go home, he might have agreed to Lu Jin’s invitation.

On the other side, Lu Jin was lying on the table, staring straight at the screen of his mobile phone, the expectations in his heart being dissipated little by little.

Just when he was about to give up, his phone suddenly vibrated and the screen lit up.

He immediately brightened up and quickly picked up his phone, expecting to see a reply from Xie Shuhan agreeing. Instead, what he saw were the words “I want to go home tomorrow.”

In an instant, the smile on Lu Jin’s face disappeared without a trace. His whole figure was like an eggplant beaten by frost, wilted, and even his silver hair seemed to have lost its luster, and was no longer as fluffy and curly as before.

He stared at the reply for a long time, tapped his fingers on the screen, and finally typed out only the words “Okay, okay,” with obvious disappointment and grievance in his tone.

After sending the message, Lu Jin threw his phone on the table and lay on the table with his elbows on the table, his hands on his chin, and his eyes looking blankly ahead.

“Brother Jin, what’s wrong with you?” Yu Yifan finally finished playing a game, turned around and saw Lu Jin’s listless look, and couldn’t help but ask, “You were fine just now, why did you suddenly wilt? It’s like a cucumber beaten by frost.”

“Nothing, just go and have fun with you.” Lu Jin said without raising his head, with a hint of impatience in his tone, not wanting to pay attention to anyone.

Yu Yifan curled his lips and muttered: “It’s inexplicable.” However, he didn’t ask any more questions, put on his headphones again, and continued playing games.

Lu Jin was lying on the table, his mind was in a mess.

He couldn’t help but start to reflect, was he a little too clingy to Xie Shuhan?

We just had a meal together, and I’m thinking about asking him out tomorrow. We’re not together yet. Will it annoy him to see him so frequently?

These thoughts were swirling in Lu Jin’s mind, making him feel even more uncomfortable.

He actually wanted to see Xie Shuhan every day, but he was afraid that if he was too eager, he would scare Xie Shuhan and make him feel disgusted. After all, Xie Shuhan had a cold temperament.

Lu Jin just lay on the table and thought for a long time. He thought to himself: It doesn’t matter. If it doesn’t work this time, there will be another time. Wait until he comes back from home and ask him out again.

At this time, Xie Shuhan was already lying on the bed and asleep.

The moonlight shone on his face, and his brows relaxed slightly.
