After listening to their conversation for a long time, Qinglan had a basic understanding of the personalities of the few people present. Therefore, she did not feel out of place or mind when responding to Yao Mengni, smiling as she said:
"Hello, I am another childhood friend of Lin Xi and her current friend. My name is Qinglan." Qinglan stepped forward confidently, introducing herself with humor and charm.
Yao Mengni laughed at both her own words and Qinglan's, saying, "Hello, I am Yao Mengni. It's nice to meet you."
Then Lin Xi introduced Qinglan, Lu Chenyu, and Chen Yang to each other.
From the moment Lin Xi appeared within Lu Chenyu's line of sight, his eyes never left her. He stared at her intently, causing those around them to blush, let alone Lin Xi. Under his burning gaze, Lin Xi kept her head down, afraid that his intense look would melt her away. She feared that if she looked up, she would see the hint of melancholy in his eyes, along with a touch of pain and suppressed longing.
How long had it been since she last saw him? The time wasn't very long, yet it felt like a century—long and distant.
He had lost a lot of weight; the mischievous smile he used to wear and his usual confident demeanor were gone.
Lin Xi's heart ached. Longing was also a kind of pain!
She could hardly control her emotions; tears almost fell in front of everyone. She nearly reached out to touch his face and almost wanted to hold him tightly.
After holding back her emotions for a while, she finally mustered the courage to lift her head, biting her lip as she boldly fixed her gaze on his face, scanning it back and forth repeatedly until their eyes finally met.
They stared at each other for a long time before the tears in Lin Xi's eyes could no longer be contained and began to flow down her cheeks.
He too could no longer hold back. In front of everyone, he gently pulled Lin Xi into his embrace, holding her tightly as his arms gradually tightened around her.
"Lin Xi." After holding back for so long, he finally called out her name from deep within his throat, low and resonant as if it had pierced through the earth's crust or descended from the clouds—a clear celestial sound.
Lin Xi was held tightly by him for what felt like an eternity.
It wasn't until Yao Mengni picked up her phone to call Hao Chuanze and Chen Yang called Simple that their voices pulled Lin Xi and Lu Chenyu back from their dreamlike state into reality.
"My Brother Zhe will be here soon," Yao Mengni said with satisfaction.
“Simple said she will be coming soon,” Chen Yang reported.
After a while, Hao Chuanze arrived. Naturally, Yao Mengni asked him to call Shen Xiaomeng.
Since Shen Xiaomeng was called, Qinglan consulted Lin Xi's opinion. Her dormitory only had Jiang Liuying and Hu Jiao'er left, so it would be better to invite them as well. Jiang Liuying and Hu Jiao'er had already known Lin Xi through Qinglan. Lin Xi often came to Qinglan's dormitory to hang out, and they always had fun together.
“Alright, let Shen Xiaomeng bring them down. They often shout about wanting to see my boyfriend and say that next time he should treat them. It's perfect to invite them all for a big gathering this time,” Lin Xi said happily, linking her arm with Lu Chenyu's and looking at him playfully and contentedly.
Lu Chenyu smiled and nodded, “Yeah, sounds good.”
After a while, Jiang Liuying and Hu Jiao'er arrived, and they each called their boyfriends Mosen and Zhou Xiaochuan over as well.
After waiting for a long time, Simple arrived. Noticing that An Shaojie was not in the crowd, she asked, “Where's Brother Shaojie?”
Brother Shaojie? Qinglan had already thought about whether to invite him over for a gathering, but she was unsure if it was appropriate for her to say it. She was waiting for Lin Xi to make a decision when Simple spoke up.
“Qinglan, let's invite Brother Shaojie,” Lin Xi turned to Qinglan and asked.
Qinglan nodded and said, “Okay.”
After picking up her phone and dialing the number, she suddenly didn't know how to explain the situation to An Shaojie. It wasn't until An Shaojie responded with two “hello” on the other end that Qinglan hurriedly said, “Lin Xi has friends here and wants you to come out, downstairs at Lin Xi's dormitory.”
Perhaps it was due to her own nervousness or fear of An Shaojie rejecting her; as soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for An Shaojie to respond, Qinglan hung up the phone.
She knew that only by saying it this way would An Shaojie come.
After hanging up with An Shaojie, Qinglan thought for a moment and decided to call Xu Wen as well. Having been in a relationship with him for so long and receiving so much care from him, she realized she had never introduced him to her friends or hometown folks. With so many friends from her hometown gathered together this time, Qinglan felt that inviting him to meet her friends would be a way of giving back to him. Deep down, Qinglan wanted to include him in her circle of closest people.
Yes, even if there might not be a future between them, Qinglan knew that they had already formed an emotional bond akin to family. Neither of them would abandon each other. She almost met his parents; therefore, integrating him into her life and bringing important people and matters related to her life into his was something she should do.
She called Xu Wen without consulting Lin Xi, as if it were a matter of course that bringing Xu Wen along was necessary.
Xu Wen and An Shaojie arrived almost simultaneously.
At the same time, Lin Xi also called her friend Su Hailu.
However, since there were many girls in their Business School, they lived in a large dormitory with ten people per room, and the relationships among roommates were not as harmonious as those in Qinglan's smaller dormitory. Therefore, Lin Xi did not invite any of her dorm mates.
The large group standing downstairs at the Girls' Dormitory was indeed a sight to behold, especially as they made their way out of campus, attracting countless glances.
A group of handsome men and beautiful women could elicit screams wherever they went.
Moreover, with the lively and cheerful Simple among them, she would wave and greet anyone who looked at them with a friendly smile, saying, "Hi, how are you?"
Or, "Hi, you all!"
"What a lively spirit," Qinglan said with a smile while playfully scolding her.
"Lanlan, if my brother and Sister Reiko were here too, it would be even more perfect," Simple said while linking arms with Qinglan.
"And Sister Shaomin too," Qinglan said half-jokingly and half-seriously. "Are you already rejecting her before she becomes your sister-in-law?" Simple playfully punched Qinglan and replied, "No way! She's from Shenzhen; it's impossible." "But one day there will be a big reunion. Maybe it will be soon at your brother's wedding when we all come together," Qinglan said with a giggle.
