Chapter 23 Everyone is licking dogs, why bother each other
The next afternoon Qiu Yuan came to the Optics Valley Business Center of Jiangcheng University of the Arts.
This is one of the most prosperous business districts in Jiangcheng, and there are many universities around it. Therefore, every weekend, Optics Valley Business Center is full of couples from major universities meeting for travel.
It's a pity that Qiu Yuan doesn't have any girls to go out with.
There was still half an hour before the scheduled movie time with Lin Wanxiang. Qiu Yuan found a seat at the entrance of the cinema on the fourth floor of the shopping mall and sat down to wait silently.
Qiu Yuan didn't dress up much before going out today, just the most common black hooded T-shirt, black trousers and ordinary running shoes.
If it were a normal situation, a boy who really wanted to chase the girl would spend a while choosing clothes when he went out to watch a movie with a girl.
Qiuyuan's wardrobe also has two categories: 'clothes for daily wear' and 'clothes for picking up girls'.
But today Qiu Yuan is not here to pick up girls, Qiu Yuan is here to mine, and it is already worthy of Lin Wanxiang that he is not wearing work clothes.
Qiu Yuan waited alone in front of the theater for a long time. Finally, fifteen minutes before the movie started, Qiu Yuan saw Lin Wanxiang, who had arrived late, on the side of the corridor of the shopping mall.
But as Qiu Yuan expected, there was a boy beside Lin Wanxiang.
"No wonder you asked me out. Fortunately, it's just a gathering of friends."
Qiu Yuan held her chin and looked at the boy following Lin Wanxiang.
He seemed to have been walking around with Lin Wanxiang for a long time. Both hands were holding paper bags containing things that should be books.
Lin Wanxiang would say something from time to time as she walked beside him. The boy beside him would smile in agreement, but Lin Wanxiang's expression did not change.
Judging from Qiu Yuan's previous understanding of this female ghost, the fact that her expression has not changed means that she is very familiar with this boy.
Qiu Yuan guessed that the boy was the 'Bai Xingchuan' in Lin Wanxiang's WeChat note.
Judging from the information provided by Zhao Hanwei, his identity should be Wanxiang's childhood sweetheart.
I have to admit that Bai Xingchuan matches up well with Lin Wanxiang in terms of appearance. He is a cheerful and handsome guy, standing next to Lin Wanxiang with a height of 1.8 meters.
The look of these two people walking together attracted the attention of many people in the mall, and some little girls even stopped to take photos of them secretly.
Bai Xingchuan also seemed to enjoy shopping with Lin Wanxiang, his expression and movements were filled with a sense of pride.
He was showing off to passers-by that I have a girlfriend, that my girlfriend is so beautiful, and that I can watch movies with such a beautiful girlfriend.
Lin Wanxiang is indeed a treasure. Any man who has her can become dazzling even if he is just standing next to her.
The key is that your appearance must be up to standard, otherwise the dazzling brilliance will turn into jealous gazes.
But the more Qiu Yuan looked at the contented expression on Bai Xingchuan's face, the more pitiful he felt.
The reason for the pity is... when Lin Wanxiang walked in front of Qiu Yuan, she stopped and came to Qiu Yuan's side.
At this moment, the pleasant smile on Bai Xingchuan's face suddenly froze. The biggest reason for this froze might be that 'I thought I was going on a date with a girl alone today, but the girl also asked a boy out'.
This feeling is no less than eating a delicious piece of cream cake, only to find out that there is Ollie as a topping.
"Hello." Qiu Yuan greeted the two of them with a smile.
At this moment, Qiu Yuan, who was wearing all black, looked like a crow.
When Bai Xingchuan, the white swan, was still showing off his charm next to Lin Wanxiang, Qiu Yuan, the crow, suddenly flew to Wanxiang's shoulder and let out a harsh "click" sound.
This directly ruined Bai Xingchuan's good mood throughout the day. What was originally a sweet date with his childhood sweetheart turned into a bit depressed in an instant.
"Xingchuan, this is my classmate Qiu Yuan. Today he will watch Aunt Bai's movie with us." Lin Wanxiang didn't even notice the change in her childhood sweetheart's expression.
"Hello." Bai Xingchuan greeted Qiu Yuan generously, "Just call me Bai Xingchuan. I graduated from the 19th class of the Performance Department of Jiangcheng University of the Arts."
"Qiu Yuan, the Painting Department is also in the 19th class." Qiu Yuan thought about it, no wonder he didn't usually see him following Lin Wanxiang.
The Drama School of Jiangcheng University of the Arts is on another campus, and it takes at least an hour's drive to get to the Qiuyuan campus.
"Xingchuan, I'm going to pick up the tickets and buy some things. You guys are waiting here."
After Lin Wanxiang left these words, the girl turned around and walked into the cinema under Qiu Yuan's surprised gaze.
This woman really has no skills at all!
If the genders were reversed and replaced with scenes from harem works, if Lin Wanxiang dared to do this, someone would definitely put a knife to her neck and ask, 'Who is this Xiao Bichi?'
But what can I say... Girls have some privileges in this regard. Qiu Yuan felt that Bai Xingchuan was unlikely to put a knife to the neck of a woman like Lin Wanxiang.
"Qiu Yuan, how long have you known Xiao Wan?"
Bai Xingchuan didn't remain silent any longer. After seeing Lin Wanxiang leave, he asked mercilessly about Qiu Yuan, his potential love rival.
"Two days, I just met her yesterday."
Qiu Yuan's answer made Bai Xingchuan's face become a little relaxed, but he still tried to make his expression as natural as possible.
"What about you? Classmate Bai Xingchuan, how long have you and Wanxiang known each other?" Qiu Yuan threw the question to him again.
"It's been ten years. Xiaowan and I have known each other since elementary school."
Bai Xingchuan's answer this time was very proud and confident. It sounded like he was telling Qiu Yuan that there was no room for Qiu Yuan to interfere in the relationship between him and Lin Wanxiang.
"You've been chasing Wanxiang for ten years and you still haven't succeeded? Brother, I admire your perseverance." Qiu Yuan's next sentence was so boring that Bai Xingchuan almost couldn't catch it.
He pointed at Qiu Yuan as if Kong Yiji was trembling with anger, and said with trembling lips, "Why didn't you catch him?"
"Do you want me to ask you about your relationship with Wanxiang now?"
Qiu Yuan took the initiative in an instant. He seemed to realize something was wrong and quickly stood in front of Qiu Yuan.
"Don't!"
"..."
Qiu Yuan looked at his somewhat panicked expression, feeling as if he was trying to hide the humblest part of his heart after someone exposed it. Qiu Yuan understood this feeling, very well.
Finally, Qiu Yuan sighed and found a seat in the cinema to sit down, then patted the seat next to him and said.
"You still have some time, do you want to talk to me about your journey?" Bai Xingchuan actually accepted Qiu Yuan's suggestion after thinking about it.
Because the experience of chasing a girl, whether he catches her or not, is an experience worth showing off for a boy.
And Bai Xingchuan is actually not in a hurry. He feels that Qiu Yuan cannot pose any threat to him in terms of appearance. He has been chasing Lin Wanxiang for ten years without catching him. This shows how high Lin Wanxiang's vision is.
He also happened to give Qiu Yuan some sincere words and let him understand the difficulty and painful journey of pursuing Wan Xiang. This would at least make Qiu Yuan give up as soon as possible.
But Qiu Yuan never wanted to pursue Lin Wanxiang from the beginning. As for Bai Xingchuan's mental journey, Qiu Yuan only listened to it as a joke to pass the time.
But...how to put it.
Everyone is just a backup, so why bother making things difficult for each other?
