At that moment, Shen Xiaomeng was surrounded by a group of her classmates, including Qinglan, as they chatted and laughed while walking out of the classroom building.
Qinglan stopped in her tracks and nudged Shen Xiaomeng with her elbow. "Mengmeng, look," she said, gesturing with her lips.
Behind them was a group of boys from their major who were also in the same class.
All their eyes were on Hao Chuanze, who was holding a balloon. Hao Chuanze walked toward the crowd, heading straight for Shen Xiaomeng. As a result, this incident spread throughout A University, with everyone saying that giving balloons to pursue girls was now more popular and effective than giving roses.
Later, Shen Xiaomeng wondered if she would have rejected Hao Chuanze if he had been holding roses instead of a balloon that day, as the rumors suggested.
Of course, she wouldn't have rejected him, but she felt that Hao Chuanze pursuing her with a balloon was cuter and more reliable than if he had been holding roses.
By the end of April, with Labor Day approaching.
Lin Xi suddenly received a call from Lu Chenyu, who told her that he, along with Chen Yang and Yao Mengni, planned to come to Beijing to see her during the holiday.
This news excited Lin Xi because, over the past six months, although Lu Chenyu hadn't contacted her as frequently as other couples in love did, he had made progress by usually being the one to call her.
This time was even more special; during the call, he told her how much he missed her and expressed his desire to see her for Labor Day.
"Since you miss me, why don't you contact me more often like other couples do?" Lin Xi wondered to herself.
However, it was fine this way. Lin Xi wasn't someone who liked to cling too much. Most importantly, she didn't want Lu Chenyu to become someone who called every day with sweet nothings. She felt that kind of love was too superficial.
In contrast, a boy like Lu Chenyu, who almost never said "I love you" or "I miss you," had a deeper and more stable affection. So when he suddenly whispered "I miss you" on the phone, it made Lin Xi's heart tremble more than it would for other girls in love.
"Mm." Her voice was so soft that she could barely hear it herself.
Lin Xi's heart realized that in front of the person she loved, a heart could become this soft; even a single word could shatter it, and just a breath could melt it away.
"However, Lin Xi, knowing that I was coming to see you, Chen Yang and Yao Mengni both insisted on coming with me," Lu Chenyu continued.
"Great!" Lin Xi clapped her hands in delight.
If in the past Lu Chenyu had always listened to Lin Xi, now Lin Xi was completely obedient in front of Lu Chenyu. As long as she could hear his voice and see him, she felt happy no matter what.
After finishing the serious talk, holding the phone, the two fell silent, listening to each other's breathing.
When feelings run deep, they can also fade; love can be silent at its deepest!
Talking on the phone with Lu Chenyu was often like this—silent on both ends, simply listening to each other's breaths.
Lin Xi didn't know where the eloquent Lu Chenyu from before had gone; of course, the articulate version of herself was also nowhere to be found.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but smile, her lips curving into a lovely crescent.
As soon as Lin Xi returned to her dormitory, Su Hailu wandered over from the next room.
"Are you a hound? Can you track people by scent?" Lin Xi was in a great mood today and was happy to tease Su Hailu.
"You stop it, I'm not a hunting dog, but someone else is a hunting dog, waiting for you downstairs in the dormitory all afternoon," Su Hailu said in a teasing tone.
"Who? Waiting for me all afternoon? Why is it that they only look for me when I'm not around, and you just happen to be here?" Lin Xi knew who Su Hailu was referring to, so she pretended not to know.
"Go ahead and pretend, it's still your childhood sweetheart," Su Hailu said as she walked to the window and looked outside.
Outside, a lonely and frail figure blended into the crowd, slowly moving away from the Girls' Dormitory building.
This afternoon, An Shaojie had indeed waited downstairs at the Girls' Dormitory for Lin Xi all afternoon. Su Hailu stood on the balcony, holding a cup of water, looking down at him for the entire afternoon. It wasn't until she had finished five cups of water that she saw him leave with a forlorn expression.
Just as he left, Lin Xi's cheerful figure appeared around the corner of a public phone downstairs.
She knew that Lin Xi had returned; she knew there was his figure outside the window.
"He is very lonely," she suddenly murmured to herself.
Lin Xi was completely immersed in her own joy and did not hear what Su Hailu said.
On May Day, Lu Chenyu arrived in Beijing again.
This time, he felt neither as excited nor as anxious as before. Upon seeing Lin Xi waiting for them at the station, his mood improved even more because Lin Xi was not accompanied by her childhood friend An Shaojie. Moreover, this time Chen Yang and Meng Ni were with him; even if An Shaojie were present, these two lively characters would still tease An Shaojie and stand up for him.
Last time, Lu Chenyu had come to Beijing full of joy but left feeling downcast. They had long since learned the reason behind it. This time, besides wanting to see Lin Xi, they also came with the intention of getting to know An Shaojie better.
After bringing them back to school, the first thing was to arrange accommodation, meals, and rest for them nearby.
It wasn't until evening that Lin Xi took them around the campus.
On this May Day, the sunset bathed the entire campus in a warm glow, painting it like a humorous picture of orange and crimson intertwined.
They sat on the largest lawn in front of the teaching building, chatting about love and their future lives.
Behind them, a couple was swinging on a swing set.
The girl in the blue floral dress sitting on the swing was Shen Xiaomeng. She held an ice cream cone in her hand, eating it while turning back to giggle at the tall, handsome boy pushing her.
The handsome boy was, of course, Hao Chuanze, who had caught up with her holding a bunch of balloons.
His eyes were filled with affection, and a gentle smile played on his lips as he supported Shen Xiaomeng's back with his large hand, pushing her high into the air as if she were flying towards the clouds they imagined, only to quickly bring her back into his grasp. Her long hair danced in the wind.
He pushed her casually yet seemed completely focused on her at the same time.
Shen Xiaomeng had her eyes half-closed, enjoying the ice cream as if she had entrusted everything to him.
It was still early May, not yet summer, especially in the north where it hadn't turned hot yet; it wasn't even warm. However, Shen Xiaomeng from the south loved eating ice cream during this season. Whenever she wanted one, Hao Chuanze would keep buying them for her. She had eaten five ice creams in a row, her lips turning purple from the cold and her speech becoming slurred, but she still smiled at him behind her.
"Focus and be careful," Hao Chuanze reminded her as he pushed her.
"I just want to look at you," Shen Xiaomeng playfully replied, twisting her head back to gaze at him.
