Chapter 479 War and Chaos
Chapter 479 War and Chaos
At the end of get out of class, people were coming and going in the corridor, and students were walking in a hurry.
However, when they pass by here, they will involuntarily slow down their pace.
Tang Song, dressed in a suit and with an outstanding temperament, appeared particularly different in the university environment which was full of youthful vitality yet slightly immature.
The female college students who had come out early to see their male idol had different expressions when they saw the scene in front of them.
Qian Lele is actually quite famous in their college.
Previously, photos of her setting up a stall were posted on the school forum, attracting quite a bit of attention.
Because she lived frugally and worked part-time every day, I don’t know who started it, but she got the nickname “Cinderella”.
In addition to praise, there is naturally a hint of teasing.
Especially some girls in their major are not very interested in this "Cinderella" who is seeking attention.
Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Since they were close enough, after being shocked, Shi Xueqi and Li Wenjia couldn't help but secretly look at the male god who was so close to them.
Then, he met a pair of eyes with a gentle smile.
These are a pair of impressive eyes, with clear black and white and crystal clear.
Their faces instantly turned red like ripe apples.
Shi Xueqi stammered, "Le Le... this is... your friend?"
"Hello, classmates. I am Lele's friend, Tang Song." There was a reassuring calmness in his voice.
"Hello... I'm Lele's classmate Shi Xueqi." "Hello, Brother Tang Song, I'm Li Wenjia."
The two of them quickly bent down and greeted each other, their expressions somewhat awkward and flustered.
They are all students in the computer department. They are of average looks and have never met such an outstanding boy. Now they feel their palms are sweating.
After a brief chat, Tang Song smiled and nodded, "Then we'll leave first. Bye."
"Bye~" "Bye~"
"Xueqi, Wenjia, bye."
Qian Lele said goodbye to his two classmates, followed closely behind Tang Song, walked through the bustling crowd, and headed towards the stairwell.
She could feel that someone was looking at her at this moment.
There is envy, curiosity, and other complex and difficult to distinguish emotions.
She is not a person who likes to be in the spotlight, and she is very uncomfortable with this situation.
As the two figures gradually disappeared, discussions and whispers began to spread.
……
As I walked out of the teaching building, the cool evening breeze blew on my face, slightly cooling my hot cheeks.
Looking at Tang Song who was sitting next to her, breathing in the scent coming from him, Qian Lele squeezed her fingers hard.
Only after feeling the clear pain did I realize that these were not dreams.
It has been a month since the Chinese Valentine's Day. She only saw him briefly in the Weiguang Coffee branch in the ancient city and didn't say a word.
During this period, she experienced the start of school, moving into the dormitory, making new friends, etc.
She actually had a lot to say to him and wanted to chat with him.
Sometimes, when she learned something new, saw beautiful scenery, or had some insights, and wanted to talk to him, she would take bus No. 31 and go to Yanjingtian City after 13 stops.
But I didn't dare to disturb him.
I just silently hoped that he would suddenly appear in front of me like he is now.
"Le Le, it's been 20 days since summer vacation started, right?" Tang Song suddenly asked.
Qian Lele quickly collected his thoughts and said softly, "Yes, exactly 20 days."
Tang Song smiled and tilted his head, looking at her with bright eyes, "Now you are also a junior, what do you think?"
Qian Lele pursed her lips and tried to organize her words. "There are many more professional courses, and the difficulty has also increased. Unlike the freshman and sophomore years, the current study is more about preparing for future employment. Postgraduate entrance examinations, employment, and civil service examinations, my classmates have been discussing these recently..."
"Yeah." Tang Song nodded gently. "Junior year is an important turning point in college. The pace of life will definitely change. Are you able to adapt?"
"I don't feel anything. After all, I've been working part-time, especially now I'm doing front-end work, which is equivalent to a semi-employed state..."
The two walked side by side on the path in the campus, chatting quietly.
On the way, Tang Song saw many familiar scenes in the "Study God Dungeon", "Cloud Library", "Leisure Forest", "Bloody Basketball Court"...
Looking at the "piggy bank" Qian Lele beside him, a look of emotion flashed in his eyes.
The half month he spent at the Normal University was truly an unforgettable memory for him.
Students were coming and going around them, and from time to time someone would cast strange looks at them.
Qian Lele looked down at her toes and talked to Tang Song about her recent situation and what she had learned. Her cheeks flushed with nervousness and joy.
After Weiguang Coffee completed its financing, it established its own technical department. Currently, she is a part-time front-end worker with a fixed salary of 2500 yuan per month.
There is no need to punch in and out and the work is not much, so it is the part-time job that all students dream of.
Occasionally, Tang Song would ask her to help develop web pages and write JS interactions, and she would be paid on a per-time basis.
As for her job as a baker in a cafe, she now only goes there two or three times a week and is still paid $15 an hour.
The combined monthly salary of the three is more than 4000 yuan, which is equivalent to the income of a full-time employee.
However, she heard that Weiguang Coffee has begun to build its own central kitchen and will cancel most of the baking work in the stores in the future.
Because the central kitchen is too far from the school, I definitely won’t be able to work part-time at that time.
But even so, she was very satisfied.
After deducting her own living expenses, she can still take good care of the family, allowing her mother to relax a little.
...
In the autumn on the Normal University campus, the branches of trees are no longer lush.
The sparse leaves trembled in the wind, making a slight rustling sound.
When we came to a three-way intersection.
Qian Lele pursed her lips and asked, "Brother, where are we going to eat?"
"Hmm..." Tang Song thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "How about going to the cafeteria? It's your treat."
"Okay! Let's go this way. I just recharged my card, so you can eat whatever you want!" Qian Lele's eyes lit up instantly.
"Then I'll let you spend money today." Tang Song smiled and followed her to the path on the left.
It was a cloudy evening and the sky had completely darkened.
The two took a few steps forward and the street lights on both sides lit up one after another.
The dim light shone on the two people, stretching their shadows into long and intertwined ones.
Qian Lele walked briskly in front to lead the way, looking back at Tang Song from time to time, with an unconcealable smile on her lips.
She always wanted to do something for Tang Song, but she knew that he lacked nothing.
I was particularly happy to be able to treat him to a meal.
Chatting and laughing, the two came to the familiar First Canteen.
Unlike the deserted time during the summer vacation, the cafeteria is now bustling with activity. The whole building is brightly lit and all the stalls are open.
Qian Lele took Tang Song to the third floor, which is Ningwei Creative Restaurant, with familiarity.
It mainly sells local flavors and trendy snacks. They are more expensive than those downstairs, but also taste better.
Qian Lele pointed to different windows and introduced them while asking about his preferences.
Qian Lele is very generous. As long as Tang Song is interested in something, she will just swipe her credit card to buy it.
Crumb cakes, vermicelli, roujiamo, stone pot rice, and drinks.
After finding a seat by the window and sitting down, Qian Lele handed the chopsticks to Tang Song and said, "Try it and see if it tastes good."
Tang Song tasted the rice noodles in the bowl, and the rich soup slid across his tongue, bringing a burst of fresh fragrance.
Then he took another bite of the crumb pie filled with potato chips and ham, with a satisfied smile on his face, "It's delicious."
Qian Lele's eyes immediately curved into two crescents, "As long as you like it."
She seldom came to the cafeteria on the third floor, but she always heard from her classmates that the food was delicious, so she brought Tang Song here.
When I saw that he really liked it, I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in my heart.
"You eat the stone pot rice first, and we'll switch later." Tang Song pushed the stone pot and put a bottle of drink in front of her.
When Qian Lele heard the word "exchange", her face turned red. She said "hmm" and lowered her head to start eating.
Dating is very common in college, especially in normal schools, where there are more girls than boys.
She often sees couples buying two meals and then exchanging them.
This kind of intimate behavior made her a little shy.
The cafeteria was bustling with people.
The two chatted while eating delicious food.
In this warm and lively environment, Qian Lele also seemed to become cheerful, showing the youthful vitality that a girl of this age should have.
……
7pm.
The two walked out of the cafeteria side by side and headed towards the girls' dormitory.
Qian Lele looked at the dormitory building which was gradually approaching, with deep reluctance in his eyes.
An hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye.
She knew that Tang Song was very busy. Today was a weekday and he had to work tomorrow. It was already very difficult for him to come and see her.
But for the first time, she felt "dissatisfied" in her heart, and always felt that it was not enough.
I still want to be with him and do more.
I feel particularly sad when I think about this separation and that it may take another month before I can see him again.
Although she deliberately slowed down her pace, the girls' dormitory still appeared in front of her little by little.
She turned around and looked at the boy opposite her.
Under the soft light, he looked a little blurry and haloed.
"Boom, boom--" Qian Lele heard his own heartbeat again.
A surge of blood rushed to my head.
"Brother!" Her voice was a little loud because she was too excited.
Tang Song raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Lele?"
Qian Lele bit her plump lips and said, "I...I...I haven't been to the pedestrian street for several days. Can you...spend some time to go shopping with me? And Sister Wen who sells grilled sausages has been talking about you all the time..."
Her voice got lower and lower, and she looked down at her toes, feeling ashamed of her own willfulness and selfishness.
"Uh..." Tang Song blinked and reached out to ruffle her hair. "What are you thinking about? I didn't come here just to have a meal with you. It's not even 8 o'clock yet. Hurry and put your schoolbag back in the dormitory and walk around with me."
Hearing her words, Qian Lele raised his head suddenly, with a surprised smile on his face, "Okay brother, wait for me, right away!"
After saying that, Qian Lele turned around and ran towards the dormitory building.
Looking at her graceful back, Tang Song shook his head and chuckled, with an inexplicable emotion rising in his heart.
...
The door of dormitory 201 was pushed open forcefully.
Qian Lele ran in, put his backpack on the bed, and started rummaging through the cupboard.
Wu Siqi, who was lying on the bed playing with her phone, asked curiously, "What's wrong, Lele? What's the matter that makes you so anxious?"
"It's okay, I'll find some clothes." Qian Lele replied and took out a clean white shirt and a pair of tight jeans from the closet.
I drew the curtains of the dormitory, quickly took off my autumn clothes, and started changing clothes.
Just now when she was with Tang Song, she felt very inferior because she was dressed casually.
But she really doesn't have any autumn clothes that are good, only this set of clothes is pretty good. She bought it in the store because she sometimes has to go to the headquarters of Weiguang Coffee for meetings.
Looking at her anxious roommate, Wu Siqi's eyes flashed with gossip. She sat up from the bed and asked in surprise, "Le Le, are you going on a date with a boy?"
"Ah!" Qian Lele cried out, her face instantly turning red, "I... just walked around..."
She stammered and didn't even know what she was saying.
Wu Siqi smacked her lips. "It seems that I guessed it right. Alas, what's the good of dating? Just 20 days after the start of school, Jingrong has a boyfriend, and now even a pure girl like you is deeply involved in it."
Hearing the word "in love", Qian Lele's body trembled, and hurriedly denied: "No, it's not what you think, we are just friends."
"Okay, okay, we are friends! Haha——" Wu Siqi smiled, then turned and said with a sad face: "Oh, forget it, I won't worry about your business anymore, my own business is still a mess."
Qian Lele asked in a low voice: "Sister Siqi, have you found an internship unit yet?"
"No." Wu Siqi sighed, "It's too difficult to find a good company. The few companies I interviewed were not suitable."
"There will always be the right one, just take your time." Qian Lele comforted her and didn't say anything else.
In order to give her a better environment, Teacher Jiang specially helped her to change her dormitory.
But apart from her, everyone else is a senior and is facing the pressure of postgraduate entrance exams and employment.
Of course, these seniors are very nice and the atmosphere is much better than before.
She put on her shirt, untied her ponytail, and combed it quickly and carefully.
Qian Lele looked at herself in the mirror, pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then took out the tube of Chanel lipstick hidden in the pocket of her backpack.
Apply carefully on lips.
Because she had never put on makeup before, her movements seemed unfamiliar and clumsy.
After doing all this, Qian Lele picked up his cell phone, said goodbye to Wu Siqi, and walked out quickly.
When she was near the dormitory door, she slowed down again, and nervously touched her lipstick at the reflection in the glass mirror.
The moment she walked out of the dormitory building and saw Tang Song's figure, her heartbeat began to accelerate involuntarily.
He was standing on the curb, looking down at his phone.
With his suit jacket casually draped over his arm, his figure appeared particularly tall under the dim street lights, and his whole body exuded a mature and warm aura.
Qian Lele took a deep breath and moved closer to him.
Noticing the movement, Tang Song raised his head and turned to look at her.
A gentle smile appeared on her face, "Changed your clothes? You look beautiful."
The simple white shirt gently sticks to her body, outlining her graceful figure.
The neckline was slightly open, highlighting her slender neck and delicate face.
The jeans tightly wrap around her slender legs, and the smooth lines show her youthful vitality.
A kind of charm unique to female college students lingers around her.
Qian Lele felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, and her face turned red again.
"Well... I was dressed too casually just now, so I changed into something a little more formal." She lowered her head, her voice so soft that it almost blended into the night.
Tang Song took a few steps closer and stroked her thick long hair with his hand. His movements were natural and intimate. "It looks very beautiful and suits you very well."
He spoke sincerely, and an irrepressible joy flashed in Qian Lele's eyes, and her heart finally settled down.
There is no girl who doesn't love beauty, and she is no exception.
"Thank you, brother." She mustered up the courage to look up and glance at him, and found that his eyes were still on her. She quickly lowered her head, her heart beating faster, and she didn't dare to look at him any more.
"Let's go to the Pedestrian Street Night Market."
"Yeah!" Qian Lele nodded vigorously, followed him, and tried to calm his inner excitement.
At this moment, her left hand was suddenly wrapped in a warm touch.
Qian Lele's eyes moved down and she saw Tang Song's slender and smooth hand.
Her body trembled violently and she subconsciously tried to break free.
This is certainly not to exclude him, but rather it is because of inferiority complex.
Because she often works part-time, her palms are not white and tender at all, and are even a little rough. Her knuckles are slightly deformed due to long-term typing and operating tools.
She was afraid that such a touch would make Tang Song feel uncomfortable, and she was even more afraid that he would be disappointed in her.
Feeling her slight stiffness, Tang Song tilted his head slightly, tightened his fingers a little, and held her hand more tightly.
Qian Lele bit her lip and stopped struggling, but her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
The campus is not quiet at night. The sounds of conversation, laughter, shouting... are heard everywhere.
But her ears seemed to be blocked out from all the noisy sounds.
Only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the sound of my own heartbeat echoed softly in the air.
...
The pedestrian street at night is like a brilliant galaxy, dotted with lights, reflecting the bustling crowds and lively scenes.
The start of the university school year coupled with the nice autumn weather makes the entire night market glow with unparalleled vitality and vigor.
The aroma of cumin on the barbecue stall, the sweetness of sugar-roasted chestnuts, the strong flavor of the spicy hot pot...
All kinds of tempting aromas float in the air.
Every stall was crowded with people, with the sounds of hawking and laughter rising and falling one after another. The hustle and bustle was not chaotic, but rather filled with the flavor of life.
Tang Song held Qian Lele's hand and walked briskly among the crowd.
Sometimes they stopped in front of a stall to pick up some small items, and sometimes they went into a small shop on the street to find some peace and quiet.
Qian Lele seemed particularly happy tonight, and even bought some small items like hair bands, socks, and hairpins.
Unfortunately, Sister Wen did not set up her stall today.
Tang Song bought a cumin and sesame-flavored starch sausage from another stall and shared it with Qian Lele.
The two of them walked around the night market for two full hours, only slowing down their pace a little when they walked out of the pedestrian street.
Afterwards, they walked into the grove of the Normal University and strolled along the winding path.
When I returned to the dormitory building, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
The coolness of the autumn night becomes more intense, and the breeze brings a bit of chill.
"Go to bed early, you have classes tomorrow." Tang Song handed her the plastic bag in his hand.
Qian Lele nodded, "Brother, be careful on the road and stay safe."
Her voice is light and warm, especially when she calls me "brother", it sounds very nice.
A faint smile appeared on Tang Song's lips. He leaned forward slightly and looked at her with burning eyes: "Call a few more times."
"Ah..." Qian Lele was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
"I mean the name." Tang Song added, with a mischievous smile in his eyes.
Qian Lele's face turned red, and she whispered, "Brother...Brother..."
"Okay, sister. Goodbye. Go back and sleep early. I'll come see you when I'm free. Of course, you can come see me anytime if you want."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Song reached out and gently embraced Cinderella's soft body and kissed her red cheek.
Shampoo and skin care products, mixed with the fragrance of the young girl, instantly filled his nasal cavity, fresh and sweet.
Qian Lele stood there in a daze, his heart beating as fast as a drum, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to become soft.
...
"What's going on, Lele? I heard you went on a date?"
"Tell us quickly, who is the boy? Is he from our school?"
"It's hard to imagine that a girl as innocent and cute as Lele would actually fall in love."
"Are there any photos? Let's see!"
As soon as Qian Lele pushed open the door of dormitory 201, several senior schoolmates immediately surrounded her and asked her questions non-stop.
Qian Lele denied it in panic and shyly, then hurried into the bathroom with the washbasin.
The moment she closed the door, she breathed a sigh of relief and began to go to the toilet and wash up as usual.
He climbed up to his upper bunk quietly and drew the bed curtains, isolating himself from the outside world.
Qian Lele took out an exquisite makeup bag from the bedside, took out a few skin care product samples from it, and began to do her skin care job clumsily.
Toner, eye cream, face cream.
These things, including the makeup bag, were given to her by her friend Qianqian.
It’s said to be a trial pack from a beauty salon, so it’s free.
She had specifically checked and found that although they were just trial products, each one was expensive and she had never been willing to use them before.
Last time, I gave kimchi to Qianqian without hesitation to express my gratitude for these gifts.
After finishing a simple skin care, she picked up the cute husky doll pillow and sat against the wall blankly.
Her fingers gently touched the kissed cheek, where the warmth of Tang Song's lips seemed to still remain.
The scenes that happened tonight played back before my eyes like a movie.
The lights in the dormitory went out at some point, and the laughter of the senior students became quieter and quieter.
The night flows silently, but thoughts spread wildly.
Qian Lele lay on the bed, silently feeling the chaos of being alone.
