Chapter 157 Today is your birthday, you can do whatever you want Standing behind Liu Xingze, Wu Xianyu looked at their chat history. The few chat records were basically just saying good morning and good night, and there were some chats that looked very awkward. In the end, Liu Xingze confessed his feelings directly for no apparent reason. Immediately below the chat record of the confession on the phone was the rejection from squad leader Liu Shimin. Sighing, Wu Xianyu shook his head and sat back on the bed. He saw Shu Junfei's guitar hanging on the wall, took it down, plucked the strings, and sang a few lines. "This~feeling is not worth my hesitation, not worth my consideration, not worth my loving you" "pat" Liu Xingze's phone screen was blurred by tears. Hu Shuo clapped his hands when he saw this. "Oh no, I'm done, I'm peeing" "Hey, Xianyu, are you free? I'm already in a bad mood, and you sang this song to irritate Xiaoxing." Shu Junfei muttered something and returned to his seat, but in fact, they both knew that it would be good to vent their emotions. Just now, Liu Xingze was as dazed as a piece of wood. If you didn't know, you would think he was Jia Baoyu reincarnated. That was scary. Now it was good to cry, and they would feel relieved. "Hey, you're blaming me. Was it you who instigated Xingzai's sudden confession?" Wu Xianyu stopped plucking the strings, adjusted the strings habitually, maintained them, and put them back into the guitar case. "Well, the main thing is that the monitor really doesn't like Xingzai. It doesn't make any difference if she confesses it earlier or later."
“There’s a huge difference!” Wu Xianyu looked like he was looking at a bunch of rookies, but in reality he was the most experienced person in the dormitory. "Expand and Talk" Hu Shuo took out a bag of melon seeds from somewhere, gave Wu Xianyu a handful, and sat on his bed waiting for Wu Xianyu's speech. Shu Junfei grabbed a handful and placed them in front of Liu Xingze, then sat on Hu Shuo's bed and started eating melon seeds. "Ahem, first of all, confession should be the clarion call for final victory, not the charge to launch an attack. Do you understand this?" "Fuck, that seems to make sense." "Although I don't understand it, I think this sentence is awesome, Brother Xianyu, please continue." Hu Shuo and Shu Junfei both became interested. Even Liu Xingze, who was sitting in his seat, stopped crying and listened to Wu Xianyu's explanation silently. He now regretted very much that he had listened to the slander of his two elder brothers and made a confused confession. "It's very simple. Before you can confirm a relationship, you have to go through a process of getting to know each other, becoming familiar with each other, and being ambiguous. This period of time is also a process for both parties to understand each other. If both parties feel it's appropriate, then they can express their feelings. If it's not appropriate, then they shouldn't. It's that simple, but now most people do the opposite. I don't know when this trend started." Wu Xianyu couldn't help but eat some melon seeds and played the role of an emotional mentor. "Okay, now that we've discussed the general direction, let's talk about Xingzai. First of all, we made a mistake. Both parties are not familiar with each other yet. Let's talk about the most basic thing. What kind of boys does the monitor like? Do any of you three know?" “I don’t know anyway.” "Me too" Liu Xingze remained silent, but it seemed that he didn't know. Wu Xianyu shrugged. "So, it's not surprising that your confession failed. Doesn't the class monitor have a few good friends? Xingzai, you can try to ask her indirectly what kind of boys she likes. Change yourself a little, but also maintain your own style. You need to find the right balance." "Pa pa pa, what's an expert? Jie Zou is an expert. It's really enlightening. I think I have learned something." Shu Junfei clapped his hands vigorously. Although he didn't have a girl he liked for the time being, he felt that what Wu Xianyu said made sense. Wu Xianyu seemed to be reserved and pressed down with both hands "I don't dare to claim the title of expert. Besides, what I said is just my humble opinion. After all, I have only talked about it once. This experience is not suitable for everyone. I don't recommend you to accept it completely. Everyone has different views on love. It is better for everyone to act according to the situation." "What do you think I should do next about the salted fish pot?"
Liu Xingze spoke for the first time after Wu Xianyu returned to the dormitory. Wu Xianyu looked at him, pondered for a while, and spoke with a cautious tone. "First of all, I think you should cheer up, at least not be like this now. You should also be able to see that the monitor is a strong person, so she definitely doesn't like those with a soft personality. In other words, even if she is soft, she can't be cowardly. As for the rest, I dare not say anything rashly, after all, I am not familiar with the monitor." "I understand" With a long sigh, Liu Xingze wiped his face, walked out of the dormitory, leaving behind a sentence "I'm going to wash my face" When Liu Xingze walked out of the dormitory, Wu Xianyu looked at the two people who were still eating melon seeds with a look of contempt. "You two single guys, stop causing trouble for others. You almost made her depressed." "Hey, I didn't expect Xiaoxing to be serious. I thought he was just drunk that day." Hu Shuo was cracking melon seeds, his eyes wandering, not daring to look at Wu Xianyu. "I also thought that Xingzai was just attracted by her beauty, I never thought that this guy was such a romantic man" "Junfei, what you said makes love at first sight sound vulgar. No matter if it's just lust or not, as long as you are ready to have a serious relationship, then you are serious." Liu Xingze's first relationship experience was not very smooth at the beginning, but under Wu Xianyu's guidance, he did not give up completely. He planned to take it slow and steady and work hard to get familiar with squad leader Liu Shimin. This has been going on for more than a month, and it is not known whether it has any effect or not, and whether Liu Shimin has any feelings for Liu Xingze, but Lin Miaomiao's birthday is coming soon. The two discussed it and decided to celebrate in private. After all, they had only been together with their roommates for a few months and were not too familiar with each other. If they invited everyone to their birthday party, it would feel like they were asking for gifts. So Lin Miaomiao decided to just have a small celebration with a few close friends. It happened that the 25th was a Saturday. In the afternoon, Lin Miaomiao and Wu Xianyu called Mai Ju, and the three of them played together for the whole afternoon and had dinner at the same time. After dinner, they sent Mai Ju back to Beijing Film Academy. Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao returned to Peking University. When they were about to go in, Wu Xianyu grabbed Lin Miaomiao. "Please wait a moment. I ordered takeout." "Hmm? You just had dinner. What takeaway did you order?" Lin Miaomiao was very confused. She wasn't having a meal with anyone else, so why was she pretending to be hungry? Wu Xianyu didn't rush to answer. He saw the delivery man's location on his phone and made a call. Not long after, a delivery man appeared, handed a cake box to Wu Xianyu, got on his bike and rode away. Seeing the cake, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but blink her eyes, looked at Wu Xianyu again, and gently shook the cake in his hand. Wu Xianyu hugged Lin Miaomiao and walked towards the school. “How can you celebrate your birthday without a cake? I specially ordered a smaller one, made of fondant. It looks good, suitable for taking photos and posting on WeChat Moments, and it’s also a little surprise for you.” "Hehe, this surprise is really not that big. This cake feels not much bigger than a bowl of instant noodles." Although the cake was not very big, Lin Miaomiao was obviously happier. The two held hands and returned to the graduate dormitory. Yuwan and Laotie were already in their own nests. When they saw their owner coming back, Yuwan trotted around their feet and rubbed their trouser legs twice, as if he had completed a task. After that, he went back to his nest without looking back. But Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao didn't care about that. They opened the cake box, revealing a gift box-shaped cake with red, pink and white as the main colors. It was very girly. Lin Miaomiao liked it very much. Her mouth was grinning from ear to ear. She hugged Wu Xianyu's face and kissed him hard twice. When she was about to take out her mobile phone to take a picture, Wu Xianyu handed over another box like a magic trick. "Use this." Seeing the logo on the box, Lin Miaomiao was very surprised "Oh, Xiaomi phone" After opening the package and seeing the brand new phone, Lin Miaomiao jumped on the ground excitedly, and looked at Wu Xianyu with tenderness in her eyes. "Baby, I'm so touched, you're so nice, mua~" This time it wasn't a kiss on the cheek. Their lips pressed directly against each other for a long time before they separated. Lin Miaomiao took a few photos of the cake with her old phone and asked Wu Xianyu “Is this cake edible?”
"It's edible, except for the fondant on top. The cake shop gave us a small hammer to knock it open. Hey, it's quite ceremonial. Come on your birthday." As he spoke, Wu Xianyu handed a small wooden hammer to Lin Miaomiao. Lin Miaomiao waved it around. It was a little light and not very smooth to the touch, but considering that it was used to knock on the cake, she understood it. The ribbon-like decorations on the cake were easily knocked off, but when it came to the cake box underneath, Lin Miaomiao couldn't crack it open after several attempts. She then tried a little harder but still couldn't crack it open, so she handed the hammer to Wu Xianyu. "You try to knock it, I don't dare to use too much force, this thing is quite hard" "Then I'll try." Wu Xianyu took the small wooden hammer and tried to knock it, but it didn't open after five or six knocks. Wu Xianyu felt something was wrong, so he pushed the edge of the gift box with the wooden hammer, and a transparent board of unknown material was pushed out. Wu Xianyu, who was holding a wooden hammer, and Lin Miaomiao, who was recording the video with her mobile phone, were both stunned. Then Lin Miaomiao burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, what the hell is this, why is there a plastic plate inside, hahaha, the two of us knocked on it for a long time like idiots, but it turned out to be a plastic plate, hahahaha" Wu Xianyu was also at a loss for words. He took out his phone and looked at the instructions of the cake shop before he realized what was going on. "This thing is a candy piece, used to shape it. There is one around the box, but it's too thick, so I couldn't crack it open." "Hahaha, they're really like idiots, the two of them have been knocking on the door for a long time. No, I must draw this incident in a comic. It's killing me." Lin Miaomiao laughed so hard that she couldn't even straighten her back. It took her a long time to recover. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and tasted the small cakes inside the fondant cake. They tasted very good, but when Lin Miaomiao saw the remains of the fondant cake, she remembered the silly behavior of the two of them just now and couldn't help laughing again. "Okay, stop laughing, it's time to go to bed, it's almost ten o'clock." Wu Xianyu finished his portion of the cake in just a few bites. Seeing that Lin Miaomiao had almost finished eating, he picked her up sideways and walked towards the bedroom. "Today is your birthday, you can do whatever you want." "Really? Hey, I want you to wear a blindfold and that belt suit." Lin Miaomiao's voice came from the bedroom, her tone was excited, and after a few seconds, Wu Xianyu's helpless voice came out. "Okay, just this once, lower your voice." It has been two weeks since the Beginning of Winter, but the temperature in Beijing is not as low as expected. Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao are walking on the campus in autumn clothes. The sun is shining brightly today, and it is warm and comfortable. The roads in the school are already covered with fallen leaves, and the sanitation staff are cleaning them up. However, the cleaning speed is far behind the speed of the falling leaves. If another gust of wind blows, perhaps half a day's effort will be in vain. The two of them walked slowly, and Lin Miaomiao looked at her phone and suddenly spoke "Hey? Yuwan and Laotie are nearby." Looking up, Lin Miaomiao looked around according to the map, but did not see Yuwan and Laotie. Wu Xianyu looked at the leaves that the aunts had collected and put in the basket, and waved to Lin Miaomiao. "Given Yuwan's personality, do you think he would hide in this basket of fallen leaves?" "Well, it's very likely. Wait, I'll record a video." After saying that, Lin Miaomiao turned on the video recording on her Xiaomi 6, lowered her footsteps to the bamboo basket filled with fallen leaves, and pointed the camera of her mobile phone at the basket of golden fallen leaves. He took a small branch and gently stirred the fallen leaves. Sure enough, the fallen leaves began to stir, and then a cat's head popped out, with its back facing Lin Miaomiao. Lin Miaomiao put down the branch in her hand and pinched Yuwan's ears. Yuwan jumped out in fright. When he saw it was Lin Miaomiao, he walked forward flatteringly and meowed. Lin Miaomiao was holding Yuwan, and Wu Xianyu also found Laotie on a nearby tree. He blew a whistle, and Laotie jumped lightly from the branch and fell into Wu Xianyu's arms. The two men held the cats and walked side by side towards the playground. At this time, there were many people basking in the sun on the playground. The two men found a place and sat on the playground, combing the cats' hair while basking in the sun.
But he didn't enjoy such leisurely days for a few days because the temperature in Beijing started to drop. Seeing the lowest temperature on his mobile phone screen had reached minus 5 degrees Celsius, Liu Xingze put on his thickest clothes, even a cotton-padded jacket that he had bought but never worn, but he still felt the cold wind penetrating into his clothes. Seeing the little brother like this, Hu Shuo smiled and said "You obviously have no experience in winter. Don't think you don't have to worry just because the dormitories and classrooms have heaters. The outdoors are the most important. With your little coat, you'll catch a cold sooner or later." "What should I do?" After living together for a few months, Liu Xingze's speech has a bit of northeastern accent. On the way back to the dormitory from the classroom, Hu Shuo taught Liu Xingze the experience of wintering. "First of all, your little cotton-padded jacket is useless. It can't block the wind. If you trust me, just buy a military coat. It only costs a few dozen dollars. If you buy more, it's a scam. That thing can block the wind and keep you warm." "Oh, yes, Hu Shuo really wasn't talking nonsense this time. It's just that your image is not good. The worst that can happen is that the squad leader will look down on you again." Shu Junfei was interrupted by Hu Shuo in a playful manner and was pushed aside "Go away, why do you look down on me? If you really want to sacrifice your health for your demeanor, then the squad leader will look down on you. Listen to me, Xingzai, let's wear military coats together, and I'll see who dares to laugh." (End of this chapter)
