Chapter 506 Slip away
Entering March.
The weather was still cold and the wind was howling.
Perhaps it was because it snowed a few days ago, and after melting, it seeped into the soil, providing moisture. There were no dark clouds during the day, and there was plenty of sunshine, so plants began to grow.
The flower beds and branches of the trees on the roadside are dotted with buds, vitality is emerging, and the silence is gradually fading away.
At noon.
After enduring two big classes in the morning, Lu You and his three roommates went to the cafeteria together.
Looking around, there were only black heads, with a few different colored ones in between.
Lu You glanced around, didn't see the one he liked, and immediately looked away.
"What are you going to eat?"
"casual."
"It's all right."
Zhang Zhichuang and Bi Yangde were the only two human-machine operators. Lu You had gotten used to it and shifted his gaze to Gong Qing.
"Old Gong, you go ahead."
Gong Qing stared at a certain spot and asked, "Are you in a hurry to get back to the dormitory?"
"No." Lu You shook his head.
"Same as above."
"plus one."
"How about spicy hotpot?" Gong Qing looked at the expressions of the three people one by one. Seeing that Zhang Zhichuang was a little hesitant, he immediately added, "I'll treat you."
The hesitation on Zhang Zhichuang's face disappeared instantly, and he smiled brightly.
"I listen to the boss in everything. I eat whatever the boss eats."
"Can you order extra spicy for once? The mild spicy option is not spicy enough every time."
This is the downside of dining with a large group of people: it is difficult to satisfy everyone.
Gong Qing patted Bi Yangde on the shoulder and said, "If you really want to save some energy, I suggest you order a separate pot. Anyway, we pay by pound, and the price is the same."
"Row."
Four people, two large iron basins, one half full and one piled high, went to the counter and handed them to the aunt to weigh.
"One hundred and fifty-two."
Gong Qing happily took out his mobile phone to scan the code to pay, and in return he received two license plates.
On average, each person costs more than 30 yuan. I can only say that eating on campus is relatively cheap. The same amount of food in a restaurant outside would cost at least 300 yuan.
The group found an empty table and sat down.
Lu You and Gong Qing sat at one end, while Zhang Zhichuang and Bi Yangde sat opposite them.
"A notice was sent in the class group saying that we will have a physical fitness test next month. Do you have any ideas?" Zhang Zhichuang clasped his hands together and looked around at everyone.
"Physical fitness test?" Gong Qing's expression changed slightly. "What are the items?"
"Eight things: height, weight, vital capacity, sit-ups, long jump, pull-ups, and 50-meter and 1000-meter timing."
"We have to run 1000 meters!?" Gong Qing's face became uglier, "What will happen if we don't run?"
"I'm not sure either. I heard that failing the physical test will affect scholarship assessment and award selection, and may even affect graduation."
"Zhao! Running 1000 meters can kill people, what should I do?"
Compared to Gong Qing who was scratching his head anxiously, Bi Yangde looked indifferent.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't there still a month left? Starting today, jog two kilometers every day for seven days to let your body adapt, and then gradually increase the intensity. You can speed up your laps and increase your mileage. After a month, I won't say how much improvement you've made, but I guarantee you'll be able to run a thousand meters."
"Just one month, is it enough time?" Gong Qing expressed his doubt.
"You've heard of this saying, 'Sharpen your spear before you go into battle. Even if it's not sharp, it's still bright.'"
Gong Qing thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Although cramming at the last minute would not be of much use, it was better than doing nothing.
"Lao Bi, let's run together tonight."
"Thank you for your invitation, but I'm sorry, I have an appointment." Bi Yangde said sorry, but the smile on his face did not show any apology at all.
"Tsk, you bastard who values women over friends!" Gong Qing turned his gaze to Zhang Zhichuang.
Before Gong Qing could speak, Zhang Zhichuang took the initiative.
"Hey, don't look for me. I have an appointment too."
"You're shit too!"
As for Lu You, Gong Qing had no intention of asking, nor was there any need to ask. Bi Yangde and Zhang Zhichuang both had company, so it was impossible for Lu You to be idle alone. Asking would only bring humiliation upon himself.
ten minutes later.
Two iron pots were placed on the table, along with four bowls of white rice and four bowls of seaweed egg drop soup.
Rice can be refilled once and soup is free.
Lu You placed his phone next to the bowl, opened WeChat, and took a piece of duck meat into his mouth.
The texture is soft, dry, fragrant and spicy, which is really good.
【Lu You: Are you there, boss? 】
[Lu You: Have you got the ear hooks I ordered? ]
Lu You picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks and ate a big mouthful of rice.
The green vegetables were placed at the bottom and absorbed enough chili oil. Lu You suddenly felt his scalp tingling and his body getting hot.
At this time, the message sent received a reply.
[Boss: My young master, do you think making gold jewelry is origami cranes? ]
[Boss: It’s been less than two weeks since you placed the order. How can it be so fast?]
【Lu You: Can’t rush the work? I need it urgently.】
[Boss: In business, first come first served is the rule.]
[Boss: I still have a few orders ahead of you. I can't just leave them there, right? Should I continue my business?]
Lu You was scratching his head, wishing he could just place the order a month in advance.
However, we didn’t order any gifts at that time, so we couldn’t make the order in advance even if we wanted to.
【Lu You: When will the delivery be at the earliest?】
[Boss: No matter how fast, it has to be after Qingming Festival.]
Lu You checked the calendar. Qingming Festival is at the end of March, and the next month is April.
“It’s been quite long.”
[Lu You: Can the goods be delivered before May 1st? ]
[Boss: 90% sure.]
【Lu You: Why is it 90%?】
[Boss: Don’t be too confident when you speak.]
After the conversation ended, Lu You put away his phone, feeling a little heavy-hearted.
"We need to think about how to draw the pie."
……
It's almost eight o'clock in the evening.
Tang Wan pressed Ctrl+S, closed her laptop, and looked around quietly.
Everywhere you look, there is a busy scene, everyone is doing their own thing.
Tang Wan glanced at the wall clock at the front of the classroom, then packed her personal belongings, put on her schoolbag, and walked quietly behind Qin Que.
In her original position, Tang Wan couldn't see clearly what Qin Que was doing. She just thought she was concentrating on working on the computer. Now she saw clearly that she was actually playing Candy Crush to relax.
Tang Wan bent down and said in a low voice, "Senior, I want to discuss something with you."
Qin Que was startled and quickly turned off the game. He first looked to the front of the classroom and saw Song Wu working hard. Then he turned around and saw Tang Wan's face clearly, and he relaxed.
"What's wrong? Are you having trouble at work?"
Tang Wan waved her hand and said, "Private matter."
"You said."
"I want to leave early tonight." Fearing that Qin Que would disagree, Tang Wan immediately added, "Of course, I have completed the work you assigned me today, and the lecture promotion plan is almost finished. I will definitely hand it over to you this Friday."
Qin Que thought silently for a few seconds, then asked, "Why did you leave early?"
"Celebrating birthday with boyfriend."
"Yours or his?"
Tang Wan pointed at herself with her right hand and said, "My nineteenth birthday."
Qin Que stretched his neck and glanced at Song Wu again to make sure he was still working. He leaned over and approached Tang Wan, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"How are you two going to celebrate? Go to a hotel, get a room, and have sex till dawn?"
Tang Wan blinked, shocked, and had a completely new understanding of Qin Que's personality.
"Senior, do you think I will tell you?"
"Tsk, that's boring!" Qin Que looked disappointed, but she still pointed out the way for Tang Wan, "Go out through the back door, don't carry your schoolbag, hold it with your hands, and keep a calm expression, just pretend to go to the toilet."
"Okay, thank you, Senior!"
"You're welcome. Just treat me to a midnight snack tomorrow."
"must!"
As Qin Que said, Tang Wan carried her schoolbag and walked towards the back of the classroom as usual, while observing Song Wu's every move with her peripheral vision.
The journey that used to take less than ten seconds now felt like a year to Tang Wan.
Finally arriving at the door, only one door away from the outside world, Tang Wan became more cautious.
A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. This last step is often the easiest to go wrong.
Tang Wan stretched out her right hand, grasped the door handle, pressed down gently, opened the door, and stepped out with her left foot first, then her right foot.
The door slowly closes under the action of the door closer.
Tang Wan stood still and waited quietly for a few seconds.
There was no sound in the classroom. Tang Wan's tense nerves completely relaxed and she was filled with joy.
"Husband, I'm coming!"
Tang Wan put on her schoolbag and left quickly. She didn't want to stay in this office building for even a second.
……
Under the big tree near the entrance to the playground.
"I'm sorry, you must have waited for a long time!" Tang Wan supported her knees with her hands, breathing rapidly.
Lu You pulled open his right sleeve and said to his empty wrist in a fake tone, "We agreed to meet at 8 o'clock, but you only arrived at 9 o'clock, making me wait for more than an hour. What crime should you be punished for?"
"Are you kidding me?" Tang Wan rolled her eyes at Lu You. "I checked the time before I came here. It was not even eight o'clock. I even jogged all the way here. It took me ten minutes at most. How could it be nine o'clock?"
"I didn't scare you? You've become smarter!"
"What do you mean by being clever? I've always been clever!"
Lu You smiled and reached out to help Tang Wan comb her hair that was messy from running.
"There's no need to rush here. I've been here all along and I can't run away."
Tang Wan held Lu You's wrist, rubbed it against his palm, and said, "Trust between people is like the durability of game equipment. It gradually wears out until it breaks after repeated dishonesty. But equipment can be repaired with one click, but can trust be repaired?"
Lu You pinched Tang Wanfang's cheek and said with a smile: "My baby is really sensible."
Suddenly, Tang Wan noticed something strange, looked around Lu You, and then groped behind him.
"You didn't bring anything?"
"What should I bring when running?" Lu You pretended to be confused.
"If you keep pretending, I'll kill you."
Tang Wan's eyes were fierce and murderous, so Lu You couldn't tease her anymore.
"Don't worry!" Lu You took Tang Wan's hand and comforted her softly, "You will definitely have enough cake. Don't we still have to run? So, I told the owner of the cake shop to send the cake over at nine o'clock."
“What type of cake?”
"You'll know when it's delivered."
"What about the gift? Isn't it also in the hands of the cake shop owner?"
"Uh..." Lu You's brain was working quickly, and he pulled Tang Wan to the playground, "Let's run first! We can talk about the rest after we finish running."
