Lin Dongyang answered the phone call, speaking twice and then saying, “I’ll go down right now.”
He hung up the phone call and sent a message to Qiao Yichen in the game: [I’m going downstairs]
As soon as he pressed enter, Lin Dongyang didn’t look at the computer screen again. He took the keys to the door and left, completely unaware of the ‘okay’ that Qiao Yichen had sent at almost the same time.
And from the time it was sent, it could be seen that this word wasn’t a reply to the last sentence.
When Lin Dongyang came downstairs, he saw a beautiful girl with a fluttering skirt standing not far away. After the rain, the weather was a bit humid, but Liu Yiyi was swaying like a delicate flower that just bloomed after the rain.
When she saw Lin Dongyang come out, she handed over the umbrella in her hand first, saying she was here to return it.
The umbrella was folded very neatly. At first glance you could tell it was done intentionally, as each fold was very smooth. Lin Dongyang took it and asked suspiciously. “Why are you here?” He clearly lent the umbrella to Wang Dan yesterday.
Liu Yiyi pushed her hair behind her ear, expressing her soft temperament to the maximum. In a shallow voice, she said, “Wang Dan said she might not have time, so I sent it over for her.”
“Then, thank you.” Lin Dongyang didn’t think about it. The umbrella had been specially sent by the other person, so naturally, he had to say thank you.
“It’s me that has to say thank you. If it wasn’t for your umbrella yesterday, I would have gotten wet. Maybe I would have frozen and caught a cold.” Liu Yiyi both advanced and retreated in a moderate manner. In addition to thanking him, she discreetly brought out her delicateness, with an endearing expression on her face.
Unfortunately, she had used this careful intention on the wrong person. Lin Dongyang didn’t follow her words to tell her to pay more attention to her health and so on, but changed the topic, “We’re all classmates. You didn’t go out to play ah?”
Liu Yiyi blinked her big eyes and said pitifully, “No. I wanted to go to the movies with Miaomiao, but she went out with her boyfriend at the last moment, so I didn’t dare to go to the horror movie alone.”
Lin Dongyang knew the Miaomiao she mentioned, it was He Miao’s nickname, and she was Liu Yiyi’s good roommate and good girl friend who walked hand in hand with her. But, He Miao had a bold and vigorous personality. She was the kind of person that when she was in a bad mood, she would attack verbally. He really didn’t know how these two people with very different personalities could become good friends.
“A newly released horror movie?” Hearing Liu Yiyi say this, Lin Dongyang became interested.
“Yes, it was just released yesterday. I heard from others that it’s not bad, and it just so happens that today is a holiday. So, Miaomiao and I bought two tickets planning to go together.”

“Let me see, which movie?” Lin Dongyang hadn’t been to the cinema for a long time. The last time he went he had watched a science fiction movie with his roommates, but that was a long time ago.

He looked at the bloody movie poster and praised it. “The poster is very good, it makes me want to go to the movie.”
Liu Yiyi’s almond eyes curved up slightly, a hint of a cunning smile flashed on her face. She naturally brought up the topic, “Why don’t I give one of the tickets to you?”
“No,” Lin Dongyang smiled and refused, “If your roommate comes back and wants to see it again, won’t there be no ticket? I’ll go back up first, thank you for sending this over.” He raised the umbrella in his hand, and casually thanked her once again, but the sense of distance was obvious.
Seeing that he was going to go, Liu Yiyi then shouted somewhat anxiously, “ She won’t come back! … I just don’t dare to go by myself, otherwise the two tickets will be wasted.”
Before Lin Dongyang could respond, a pair of hands reached out from behind him holding two bright red banknotes between his index and middle fingers. Qiao Yichen’s clear, cold voice rang out behind Lin Dongyang, “The money for the two tickets. Give me the ticket numbers.”
Lin Dongyang: “… Since when were you standing behind me?” Wasn’t Qiao Yichen playing the game in his dormitory? Lin Dongyang hadn’t noticed when he had come over at all.
Liu Yiyi also hadn’t been paying attention to the passing pedestrians. Her attention was completely focused on her own words, thinking about how to say what she wanted naturally without revealing her ultimate purpose. So, when someone had approached directly she had completely ignored them
Qiao Yichen gave Lin Dongyang a deep look, full of scorn and disbelief, “Didn’t you say we should go have a meal?”
Lin Dongyang suddenly realized that he had just said such a sentence, but had come down before Qiao Yichen could reply.
Qiao Yichen shook the two banknotes in his hand again to remind Liu Yiyi, “I’ll take the two tickets.”
Liu Yiyi’s little face, which had still been blowing in the spring breeze just now, flushed red at this moment! Her white fingers rubbed her skirt with inconspicuous small movements, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Qiao Yichen had made the other side uncomfortable, but Qiao Yichen didn’t have any self-awareness.
Lin Dongyang pressed Qiao Yichen’s hand down and criticised, “If you want to watch it, we can buy it again. What’s the point of grabbing tickets from other people? It’s not like there are no more.”
But no matter how you listen to this sentence, there was a sense of drawing a clear line. As if he was telling his person not to bother with an outsider.
Only then did Qiao Yichen withdraw the gesture of handing over money that had embarrassed the other party. Then, he stood to the side with his hands in his pockets in a calm manner, not caring in the least if he had made a girl lose face, and said to Lin Dongyag, “Let’s go eat.”
Lin Dongyang nodded, then said goodbye to Liu Yiyi, took his umbrella, and walked directly to the school canteen.
Qiao Yichen lagged behind him by a few steps, examining Liu Yiyi for a moment with a meaningful gaze. Liu Yiyi’s imposing character didn’t come out. Only after Qiao Yichen left did she stare at his back with a somewhat resentful gaze, gritting her teeth, completely losing her beautiful and lovely image.
She really regretted that she had left such information in his hands for him to use against her! She thought that he had stopped her to introduce himself because he wanted to get to know her. She didn’t expect that the other party would know Lin Dongyang and would secretly threaten her twice. However, the other party didn’t seem to say anything.
Indeed, Qiao Yichen didn’t say anything, only he knew about receiving the pink note. He wasn’t a person who likes to gossip, even if Liu Yiyi did something hurtful, it wasn’t related to him. It was only getting close to Lin Dongyang that Qiao Yichen didn’t allow in his heart.
He didn’t want a person he was involved with to be involved with a person like that at the same time.
Qiao Yichen went to the school canteen along with Lin Dongyang. Today’s canteen was practically empty, there were only a few people. Not only were there less students here, but there were even many food windows that had closed. It was a school holiday after all, the food would be wasted if it wasn’t eaten.
With fewer choices, Lin Dongyang picked and chose from the few food windows that were still open for business, but surprisingly there was none of his favourite, scrambled eggs with tomatoes! So, he casually picked two dishes that weren’t very appetizing.
Qiao Yichen sat down opposite Lin Dongyang and similarly ordered two dishes at random, not knowing if they were appetizing or not.
Lin Dongyang ate a few bites and found that the food was cold. It was fine to eat some cold food in this weather, but the problem was, the food wasn’t delicious ah!
Qiao Yichen looked at his actions in silence, watching him stop moving his chopsticks with a lack of appetite after only a few bites, then he asked, “Don’t want to eat?”
Lin Dongyang sighed. “I just ate some instant noodles at 10:30 in the morning, and now I’m not really hungry. The most important thing is that this dish is really not good…”
“This dish is okay.” Qiao Yichen didn’t ask Lin Dongyang if he wanted it, he just directly took it upon himself to put two pieces of his own meat dish, that tasted pretty good, on Lin Dongyang’s plate.
Lin Dongyang and his roommates would also do this kind of thing. In regular business time, the canteen’s dishes were numerous and they would inevitably be bewildered. If one looked at the delicious dish their roommates picked, they would definitely steal a taste by taking advantage of their unpreparedness. They would do this operation smoothly. Once, Fatty Han had stolen one of Li Wei’s two small chicken legs, and when Li Wei found out, he stole two shrimps from him as repayment.
But, when the same thing happened with Qiao Yichen, it felt different. Lin Dongyang was a little embarrassed, and it was precisely because he was embarrassed that he didn’t refute Qiao Yichen’s few good intentions. Even though he didn’t have an appetite, he also gave Qiao Yichen face by trying it.
“It looks like there is too much soy sauce, but it tastes pretty good. It was much better than this one I bought, if you don’t believe me, try it.”
Lin Dongyang returned the courtesy and shoved a piece of meat from his chopsticks into his mouth, then he picked up some from his own dish and put it onto Qiao Yichen’s plate.
Qiao Yichen didn’t show any embarrassment, inconvenience or anything like that and directly ate it. Lin Dongyang snickered, “How is it? Isn’t it just a little better than what you make?”
Mentioning the bowl of salty boiled noodles that were only half-cooked and without oil, Lin Dongyang couldn’t help but start teasing Qiao Yichen.
Qiao Yichen asked back, “Can you do it? Don’t just talk about me.”
Lin Dongyang: “At least I can cook boiled noodles ah. I reckon you’re at the level where you can’t even distinguish between salt and sugar.” Although he didn’t dare to say he could cook, his ability to cook rice and noodles was more than enough. This could definitely not be compared to Qiao Yichen, who couldn’t tell the difference between salt and sugar.
Qiao Yichen: “Then, why don’t you cook?”
Lin Dongyang: “You said you were going to cook for me. I didn’t force you.”
Qiao Yichen didn’t argue with him anymore. After all, it was indeed voluntary at that time. Lin Dongyang had consumed food in the morning and the current meal was unappetizing. So, he sat on the opposite side of the table and waited for Qiao Yichen to finish his meal.
After Qiao Yichen finished his meal and brought his plate to the designated point, for the staff to clean up, both of them walked back leisurely along the road.
“Do you have something to do this afternoon?” Qiao Yichen asked.
Thinking for a moment, Lin Dongyang replied, “No, I was a bit bored in the dormitory alone and wanted to go watch a movie. That horror movie just now looked pretty good!”
Qiao Yichen: “Buy a ticket if you want to go, I’ll pay for it.”
Lin Dongyang suddenly smiled happily, he was a hundred times willing! He even almost put his arm around Qiao Yichen’s shoulders and shouted ‘good brother!’ It wasn’t a matter of money, two movie tickets were only a few yuan. He just couldn’t stay in the dormitory alone and wanted to go out and relax. He couldn’t just play the game all day, right?
Since he wanted to go, then why did he reject Liu Yiyi when she asked him just now? Lin Dongyang said: The cinema is a special place for couples. He would rather be with the same sex than with the a person of the opposite sex who is not his girlfriend.
He took out his mobile phone and flipped through the movie showings and asked, “What time is it? There’s a 3pm showing in the afternoon, 5pm, 7pm, and 8pm.”
Qiao Yichen: “You can look and buy it.”
Lin Dongyang: “Then, let’s watch it at 5pm. Then it will finish just in time to come back to sleep after watching.”
Qiao Yichen said ‘en’ in agreement.
