Chapter 133 - 133

Chapter 133 Why did you all come together?That day, after Yun Ting left, Zhou Yang also made an excuse to leave. He didn't want to be a third wheel and wanted to give Lu Jiayan a chance to spend time with Yang Qingqing.However, Lu Jiayan is much more mature now. He is no longer in a hurry to bring up this matter. He treats Yang Qingqing as an ordinary friend and gets along peacefully, which he thinks is also very good.The two ate together, then went their separate ways, and nothing happened.Only Lu Jiayan knew that his feelings for Yang Qingqing had never changed.But he also sensed that Yang Qingqing really only considered him an acquaintance.He still felt sad, but he didn't want to shatter even the last bit of peace, because then he wouldn't even have the right to see her anymore.Lu Jiayan returned to the school gate, where his mother was waiting for him."Son, where have you been? Why aren't you home for dinner even though you don't have classes?""I had to go out for a bit, Mom. I'll be back in my dorm soon.""Wait, Xiaoyan, do you really have to treat your mother like this?"Lu Jiayan calmly looked at his mother and said, "How have I treated you? You're overthinking it. Go back!" After saying that, he went into the school without looking back.As Lu's mother watched her son's departing figure, she felt a pang of sadness. Ever since her son returned from the countryside, he had become distant from her. She guessed that it might be related to the girl he liked, but every time she tried to ask, he would interrupt her." Xiao Duo, look what delicious treats your pretty auntie brought you!" Yun Ting returned to the dormitory and smiled as she gave Xiao Duothe sugar-coated sesame cakes she had brought.Xiang Li, who was making matchboxes with Xiao Duo, looked up at Yun Ting and said, "You've gone to all this trouble again. You guys are always bringing food for Xiao Duo. How can this be?"Xu Jie found the job of pasting matchboxes forXiang Li. She was a local and quite familiar with these things. At first, Xu Jie was very arrogant and didn't pay much attention to them. But from some point on, she would occasionally share some of her good food with Xiao Duo.One day, she awkwardly asked Xiang Li if she would do a job pasting matchboxes. She said she could help her get the goods. Xiang Li was sure to agree, as this would give her some extra income. Although pasting matchboxes didn't earn much, it was better than nothing for her at the moment.Yun Ting waved her hand, "Sister Li, it's nothing. It's not like we bring it every day, so it won't cost much. It's just a treat for Xiao Duo.""Come on, Xiao Duo, have a taste."Xiao Duo looked at her mother with expectation in her eyes. Xiang Li felt a little sad seeing her daughter like this, and sighed helplessly, "Eat up! Quickly thank your auntie."Xiao Duo's eyes lit up, and she picked one up with her little hand and stuffed it into her mouth. With sugar crumbs stuck to the corners of her mouth, she mumbled, "Thank you, pretty auntie. It's so delicious, even sweeter than the white steamed buns in the cafeteria."Yun Ting gently pinched her little nose and laughed, "No wonder Xiao Duo's little mouth is so sweet! Haha... Eat slowly, don't choke.""Hey, have you guys heard? The requirements for the second college entrance exam are out." Liu Juan started gossiping since everyone in the dorm was there."I heard that some people from our batch who got married and left weren't going back. But with this new requirement, I reckon there will be even more divorces and people abandoning their wives and children. Sigh...""Oh, how pitiful is that child?""That depends on whether they have a conscience. A person with a conscience would naturally not do such a thing."The atmosphere became somewhat heavy when this topic was brought up."By the way, Juan'er, how's your studying going lately? Final exams are coming up soon," Zhao Hong changed the subject."Look at me, haven't I lost weight recently? I didn't do well on the midterm exams, and mycounselor nagged me for ages. I can't fail again this time.""The library has been packed lately. Everyone is studying with all their might, so we can't fall behind."Indeed, although Yun Ting had a good memory, she still dared not relax. During the midterm exam, she ranked first in the Foreign Languages ​​Department, making a name for herself. As the saying goes, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."That day, the afternoon sun shone through the library's glass windows, casting dappled shadows in the corridor.Yun Ting and Su Xiaomei had just come out of the library when they heard the girls whispering in the corridor."I just saw two male comrade downstairs. They were dressed like they were in uniform, one in military green and the other in navy blue. They were standing there so straight and handsome!""Yes, yes, I wonder who they're looking for. Lots of people are watching them."" Yun Ting, do you think we should go see how handsome those two male comrades they were talking about are?" Su Xiaomei asked her in a low voice.Yun Ting smiled and didn't take it to heart.Visitors from all over the country often come to Peking University, so it's not unusual to see people in uniforms."Are you swooning over a guy?""I understand. Your boyfriend is so handsome, he can't possibly see anyone else."Su Xiaomei looked around but didn't see the person they were talking about."Alas, it seems I am not fortunate enough to enjoy it.""Don't worry, your good fortune is yet to come!"As they walked and talked, Yun Ting suddenly stopped just as they turned the corner of the path leading to the dormitory building."What... happened? Wow... so that's where they are!" Su Xiaomei looked excitedly at the two people not far away." Yun Ting, you weren't interested just now, but now you can't even move your feet?"Downstairs in the dormitory, two figures stood with their backs to them. The one on the left was wearing a military green uniform, the epaulets gleaming in the sunlight, his posture as upright as a poplar tree; the one on the right was in thePublic Security College uniform, the sleeves rolled up, revealing his muscular forearms, and he was talking to someone next to him.Before Yun Ting could walk over, they seemed to sense something and looked over in their direction."Wow… Yun Ting, they're looking this way…" Su Xiaomei exclaimed excitedly, grabbing her arm."Sister!" Little brother Yun Xu saw her, his eyes lit up and he ran over, his dark blue uniform fluttering slightly as he ran.Second Brother Yun Huai also walked over quickly. His military green uniform made his features appear even more handsome, and a faint smile played on his lips.Yun Ting then belatedly remembered what her classmate had said earlier, a smile spreading across her face as she hugged her books and went to greet them: "Why did you all come together?"He looked his older and younger brothers over and saw that they had both gotten quite tanned. He smiled and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "You look pretty energetic!""Of course…" Yun Xu raised his head proudly, andYun Ting felt that this action was a little familiar."Little sister, how have you been lately? We've been busy with studies and training, so we haven't been able to come see you." The second brother affectionately patted his little sister's head."I'm fine. I can take care of myself and get along well with my classmates. Don't worry about me."Speaking of classmates, Yun Ting suddenly remembered that Su Xiaomei had just been with her. Looking over, she saw Su Xiaomei standing next to her, looking shyly at her second brother. She pulled her over and introduced her, " Su Xiaomei, this is my second brother Yun Huai, and this is my younger brother Yun Xu."Then he turned to his second brother and younger brother and introduced Su Xiaomei."Hello…""Hello... and hello to my younger brother."Yun Ting covered her face: "..." She seemed to have gone back to what she was saying earlier, indicating that she didn't recognize her.
