Chapter 92 Cat-Eared Su Peixue
Lin Ran pulled the tab on the Coke, and the bubbles hissed. "Who do you want to call?"
Fatty Sun thought for a moment and shook his head. He was closest to Lin Ran, and he also had a few other good friends in the class who weren't in Luzhou.
Besides Lin Ran, the only other people in Luzhou were Gong Yu, Ye Shixuan, and Jiang Qianqian; his relationship with them was so-so. Since Lin Ran hadn't invited them, he naturally wouldn't either. He flipped the lamb skewers on the charcoal grill. "Ran-ge, if you eat alone with me, won't Xue-jie be angry?"
"I've already sent someone to deliver midnight snacks to her dorm."
"That makes four portions. Dating Sister Xue must be expensive, right?"
Lin Ran didn't care. He had observed several of Su Peixue's roommates, and they were all quite nice to her. Su Peixue wasn't very good at social interactions, and logically, her personality should have made her prone to isolation, but that wasn't the case.
Since she doesn't intentionally cultivate relationships, there's nothing wrong with Lin Ran helping her maintain them.
Just then, they heard the sound of a beer bottle falling and shattering on the ground. The two turned around and saw a man sitting with his head down next to a folding table in the corner of the food stall, with three empty beer bottles on the table.
"Gong Yu?" Fatty Sun squinted and recognized him.
It was indeed Gong Yu. His hair was unkempt, slicked back and shiny, and his collar was loose. The barbecue on the table was barely touched.
Gong Yu heard someone call his name, looked up, his face flushed red to the roots of his neck, his eyes also red. He saw Lin Ran and Fatty Sun, paused for a moment, then stood up, carrying a beer bottle, and staggered over.
"Old classmate, let's get together for a meal."
Lin Ran didn't say anything, but moved the plate on the table to the side to make room.
Gong Yu plopped down and called to the waiter, "Two more bottles of beer, please." He then filled the glasses for Lin Ran and Fatty Sun, the foam overflowing and spilling onto the table.
He picked up his cup, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp, letting out a long sigh.
"I'm not reconciled!" The cup slammed heavily on the table. "I've liked Ye Shixuan for three years, and I can't compare to a senior I just met."
He poured himself another full glass. "I could have gotten into a top-tier university. My score was high enough for Lushan University. I only went to Anhui University, a second-tier university, for her sake..."
Fatty Sun took a bite of a lamb skewer and felt sorry for Gong Yu, thinking how pitiful he looked.
They scored higher than me on the college entrance exam, but ended up going to a worse university than me.
And I met the wrong person. Unlike me, the girl I met online was really good to me. She even said she would send me her grandfather's tea leaves in the future.
Lin Ran recalled that in her previous life, she had given up a 211 university and gone to a second-tier university for Ye Shixuan, and then Ye Shixuan got together with the Porsche-driving senior during military training.
In his past life, it took him a long time to understand one thing: it wasn't Ye Shixuan's problem, it was his own. Ye Shixuan was just like that; no one forced him to like her. It was his own wishful thinking, his own inability to see people clearly, and his own belief that effort would be rewarded.
Complaining about others is useless; it will never improve you. At least in his past life, after Ye Shixuan, he hadn't suffered any losses in relationships. He didn't care who it was; he only did screening. Once he sensed something was wrong with the other person, he would cut ties immediately, without any hesitation.
Gong Yu downed another glass. "Lin Ran, didn't you see through her a long time ago, which is why you left?" He looked down at the foam in his glass. "Seeing that you didn't get Ye Shixuan either makes me much happier, bro!"
Before Lin Ran could speak, her phone rang. It was a video call. The screen showed Su Peixue's profile picture, along with a cat winking emoji.
He answered. The screen lit up, and on the other end were four girls' faces squeezed into one frame.
Song Yin held up her phone, Zhao Yining peeked in from the left with half her head in, and Tan Shuang stood behind her, only her glasses and forehead showing.
Su Peixue sat in the middle, holding a skewer of chicken wings in her hand, her cheeks puffed out, and a bit of cumin on her lips. On the table were foil boxes piled high with barbecue skewers.
"Thanks for the barbecue, brother-in-law!"
Song Yin's voice boomed from the screen. Zhao Yining followed with a shout of "Thank you, brother-in-law," then shrank back behind the bag of potato chips. Tan Shuang didn't speak, but nodded, her glasses reflecting light and obscuring most of her face.
Gong Yu leaned closer to look at the screen, his beer bottle hovering in mid-air. He saw Su Peixue, the girl who had amazed the entire school after graduating high school and was now the most popular college freshman in the city.
Then he saw Su Peixue swallow the chicken wing, wipe her mouth, and give Lin Ran a sweet smile on the other side of the screen.
Gong Yu slammed the beer bottle on the table.
I'm even more heartbroken!
tearful!
He picked up the beer bottle and chugged down half of it. Compared to Su Peixue, Ye Shixuan was nothing.
Gong Yu finished the bottle of wine, slumped onto the table, and mumbled something indistinctly.
Seeing that he was almost drunk, Lin Ran took out her phone, called a car, put him in the back seat, paid the fare, and told the driver the address of Anhui University of Technology.
Then I booked a room for Fatty Sun near the Olympic Sports Center and rode a shared bicycle back to my rented apartment.
After taking a shower, Lin Ran changed into a clean T-shirt as pajamas and was about to lie down on the bed when she saw the paper bag on the bedside table.
The bag Su Peixue had given him last time was full of her worn socks. Lin Ran picked up the paper bag, intending to wash them, but then thought about it. He had run around to several events today and had just eaten a big barbecue. Although his body recovered quickly, he was indeed a little mentally exhausted.
He put the paper bag back on the bedside table, saying, "We'll talk about it tomorrow." He turned off the light and went to sleep.
A gust of wind blew in through the window cracks, causing the paper bag to tilt and fall onto the pillow, spilling several pairs of socks that landed on Lin Ran's face...
early morning.
The sound of the door opening was very soft.
The key turned in the lock, and the door opened a crack.
Su Peixue walked in quietly, carrying a backpack and wearing a light pink sweatshirt dress that reached mid-thigh, revealing her calves covered in white stockings beneath the hem.
She walked to the bedside and saw Lin Ran lying on her back, her face covered in her stockings. She blinked, her pretty face flushing.
Immediately, he quietly took out a few things from his schoolbag and started fussing over himself.
Lin Ran woke up, not from the light, but from the fragrance in the air and a familiar silky touch.
He opened his eyes, and everything before him was a blurry black.
What's going on?
It's not dawn yet?
Not right.
Lin Ran scratched his face.
What the hell!
The black stockings worn by Su Peixue!
How did it get on my face?
At the same time, a soft, sweet voice came from beside me: "Good morning, zookeeper~".
Lin Ran froze and removed the stockings from her face.
How did Su Peixue end up here?
He was about to explain when he turned around and suddenly froze.
Su Peixue sat on the bed like a duck, wearing fluffy cat ear hair accessories. A pink collar with a small bell hanging from it was around her neck. The bell jingled softly when she moved.
