Stringy Wind in the Ear - Chap 20
Under the scorching sun, Li Xun really looked like a parent accompanying his child on a visit. I took him to the reception desk to verify his identity information, and then he reported to the School of Economics and Management where his major was located.
As we toured along the way, Li Xun introduced everything patiently.
At noon, they went to the canteen closest to the dormitory to eat. Song Yang took out his meal card from his bag, handed it to him with both hands, and said affectionately: “Its first time, I’ll give it to you.”
Li Xun took the meal card from him and stuffed it back into his trouser pocket: “Forget it, I’m afraid it can’t bear it.”
“It can take it!”
“No, it can’t.”
A bunch of students queuing around turned their eyes over in unison, as if they were watching a stage play, with smiles on their faces that spoke for themselves.
In the end, it was Li Xun who treated the guests. There were four bowls of pork rib noodles, and he ate three bowls himself. Song Yang burped after eating one bowl and waited for him while playing with his phone.
When it came to the third bowl, Song Yang looked up and asked, “Master, have you always had such a big appetite since you were a child? Your family is not going bankrupt because of your eating, is it?”
“The more you work, the more you eat. What do kids know?”
The student dormitory of T University is as big as four Yuqing communities, forming an “concave” shape, surrounding the supermarket, library, and athletic field stadium, basketball court, and tennis court.
To the south are the swimming pool and archery hall, and then the School of Economics and Management. The Sports Department is not far from the School of Economics and Management, and can be reached in about ten minutes on foot.
Song Yang finally got a feel for the surroundings and followed Li Xun to the car to get his luggage.
They arrived late, and there were not many people gathered downstairs of the dormitory. Some students hugged and said goodbye to their parents with tears in their eyes.
Song Yang dragged his suitcase and walked towards the elevator with big strides, while Li Xun followed behind him.
The new dormitory manager was very strict and spotted the “suspicious person” with her sharp eyes. She waved and said, “Hey, that parent, if you want to go in, you need to register here.”
Song Yang looked back at the parents and said, “Why don’t you send them off? I can go there again later.”
Li Xun went into the house and registered without saying a word.
In addition to the simple name, dormitory number and contact number, there is also a column for “Relationship with student”. With a slight pause in the pen, he shamelessly filled in: father.
The aunt looked him up and down in surprise: “You, your child is this big already?”
Li Xun rubbed the tip of his nose and found a decent excuse: “Stepfather.”
“Oh…” Auntie nodded thoughtfully and praised, “There are not many step-parents as responsible as you.”
Song Yang naturally didn’t know that he had done such a shameless thing. He just felt that the look in the dormitory manager’s eyes when he looked at him was a bit complicated, different from before, as if she was puzzled, and a little sympathetic.
Anyway, it’s weird.
Song Yang’s dormitory was on the sixth floor, in a four-person room. He was the last one to arrive. Two boys wearing glasses were sitting together looking at something, and another thin boy with slightly curly hair was lying on the bed playing with his cell phone.
The room was fairly clean and there was a fresh scent of fruit. He noticed that everyone had a box of cut fruit on their table, but everyone else’s was almost finished.
Song Yang stood shyly at the door like a newly married young girl, greeting everyone.
The three people smiled friendly and said in unison: “Hi, welcome, welcome.”
Song Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone seemed to be getting along well.
A little boy wearing glasses introduced himself first.
“My name is Yu Le.” His hair was a little long and tied into a small bun at the back of his head, making him look like a little artist.
The man wearing glasses next to him is called Jiang Luo. He is very tall and speaks with a strong Northeastern accent. You can tell he has a good personality the moment he opens his mouth. He took the initiative to help Song Yang drag the suitcase to the window.
The man who jumped off the bed was called Zhou Junlin, and the fruits on the table were the ones he brought from his hometown and freshly cut.
“Try it. It will definitely taste different from what you eat here.”
Song Yang was flattered and thanked them repeatedly. He was glad that he had brought an extra bag of snacks before leaving so that he could share them with everyone.
After Li Xun entered the room, he did not introduce himself to everyone. Everyone assumed that they were brothers and did not ask any further questions. They just politely asked about Song Yang’s background.
After learning that he was a local, the group of people started to urge him to take them on a tour of South City. Song Yang promised to agree, and the boys soon became enthusiastic.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Li Xun opened the door a crack and found that it was the dormitory manager, so he opened the door.
Auntie raised her hand and went straight to the point: “Song Yang’s father, look, is this your car key? It fell on my desk.”
The three people in the dormitory all looked at him in shock and said in unison: “Dad?——”
Song Yang spat out the fruit he had just chewed halfway, and kept coughing. His face turned red and he couldn’t speak at all.
Just as he was pointing at Li Xunneng to explain, he unexpectedly took the key and prepared to slip away: “I’m leaving first, kids.”
Everyone said in unison: “Uncle, take care——”
Song Yang finally caught his breath and took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and drank it guzzlingly.
Yu Le and Jiang Luo looked at each other, and both read a message from each other’s eyes – Song Yang didn’t seem to look much like his father.
Although this seems outrageous, everyone has their own ideas.
For example, a reconstituted family, or an adoptive relationship that is inconvenient to disclose, thus making this outrageous thing reliable.
Finally, Yu Le patted Song Yang on the back and showed an envious look: “Your father is really young.”
Jiang Luo: “Very handsome.”
It’s a good thing to be associated with a male god and be praised, but this relationship still needs to be explained——
At this time, Zhou Junlin narrowed his eyes, gently stroked his chest, and sighed: “Your father has a really good figure.”
Song Yang coughed even more violently.
The other two also noticed something was wrong and looked at Zhou Junlin and said, “Brother, something is wrong with you.”
Zhou Junlin didn’t say anything, left a mysterious smile, and went to bed to play with his phone.
After the welcome party ended in the evening, they dragged their tired bodies back to the dormitory and took turns washing up.
The dormitory conditions at T University are quite good. Each dormitory has a public balcony and washing machine. The seniors who lived here last year left a few cacti on the windowsill and wrote words on the pots.
“I wish you all academic success and hope you will reach greater heights.”
After enduring a scorching summer, several pots of cactus are still full of vitality, and even have a few small flower buds sprouting.
After taking a shower, Song Yang came out and saw Yu Le and Jiang Luo, both of them were huddled in front of Zhou Junlin’s desk, whispering to each other.
He wiped his hair, walked over and asked, “What are you doing?”
There was a tablet standing on Yu Le’s desk, with photos of Jam Hsiao in the album and some fruits in front of the tablet.
Jiang Luo held three pens in his hand, and said in a low voice with an unfathomable look on his face, “Pray for rain.”
Yu Le: “Hurry up and bring some offerings. There is strength in numbers!”
Song Yang: “…”
There will be military training tomorrow and the weather forecast has a high temperature warning. Everyone worships Lao Xiao devoutly and sings a song. Only Song Yang climbs onto the bed early.
He thought that these three roommates were crazy, and the other three also thought that he was crazy. After all, who would sleep with an arrow in their arms? ?
The arrow was given to him by Li Xun. It was the only thing he would not forget even if it was not written in his memo.
Before going to bed, Song Yang placed it next to his pillow and considerately covered it with a small pillowcase.
After a busy day, he fell asleep before he could even hear his roommate snoring.
Because of the military training, Li Xun did not ask him to go jogging in the morning, so Song Yang set an alarm for around six o’clock.
But before the time came, he was awakened by the groaning of his roommate.
“Why is it still sunny?”
Then, Jiang Luo stuck his head out from behind the bed curtains: “Is it because we didn’t give enough offerings that it didn’t work?”
Song Yang: “…”
One dared to speak, and the other dared to listen. Yu Le took out all the sweet potatoes that he hadn’t finished eating last night and put them on the table, and kept chanting: “Please pray to the living Bodhisattva for help! Next time, tell me in your dream what you want to eat.”
Song Yang: “…………”
I don’t know how he got into T University with this IQ.
There was a military training mobilization meeting in the morning of the first day, and the main topic was officially started in the afternoon. The instructors taught everyone to sing military songs, stand at attention, and march in step.
The sun was scorching, the cicadas were chirping noisily, and the instructor’s hoarse commands and the students’ majestic roars drifted to every corner of the campus.
Li Xun could vaguely hear a few ghost roars in the archery hall. When he pushed the door open and went out, the roars were deafening, awakening his memories of campus life.
He was carrying a water bottle and somehow “passed by” the playground. He found that many teachers were also sitting in the stands and enjoying the freshman training as an entertainment. The unnatural feeling immediately disappeared.
The huge playground was filled with not-so-neat square teams, a vast expanse of green. The day was very hot, and the freshmen’s cheeks were flushed from the training, and they dared not even breathe.
He only knew one of the freshmen in the school, and his eyes unconsciously wandered around the square formation, wanting to see how the little guy was practicing.
With Song Yang’s endurance, military training should be no problem for him.
The department head saw him and patted the seat next to him. Li Xun walked over. He thought the head wanted to ask about the archery team, but Director Wang was like a ticket scalper. He mysteriously took out a telescope from his pocket and asked, “Do you want one?”
“…” Li Xun hesitated for a moment, but still took over.
He saw a large army resting under the shade of trees not far away, and there was a small head that looked very familiar.
really weird.
Even though everyone was wearing the same camouflage uniform today, he recognized Song Yang’s back at a glance.
His sleeves were rolled up high, revealing a muscular arm. He sat in a less casual position than the other boys, hugging his calves in a very obedient manner, like a small mushroom. His hair was neither long nor short, and had never been dyed. It was not the most eye-catching in the group, but it was smooth and shiny, which immediately set him apart from the unkempt boys.
Maybe it was too hot, so he shook his hat to fan himself, and someone immediately handed him a small fan.
Song Yang waved his hand and refused.
It was visible to the naked eye that 80% of the people sitting around him were female classmates, and some were hiding in the corners and taking secret photos.
Although Li Xun couldn’t see the phone screen from that angle, he knew that no one took a selfie with their little sisters covering their mouths and laughing.
It is undeniable that the little guy is indeed much more handsome than when they first met.
Firstly, he is older and more mature, and knows how to take care of himself. Also, the constant exercise makes his body shape look different from most boys of the same age.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, it is full of youthfulness.
Director Wang’s voice drifted past my ears: “It’s great to be young.”
Li Xun looked at the rows of teams that stood tall like rice seedlings and nodded, “Indeed.”
They are like seeds, burying their heads in the mud, waiting to sprout and bloom into gorgeous flowers next year.
Director Wang added: “At our age, our body functions have deteriorated, and we can’t help but accept our age.”
Li Xun disagreed with this and corrected him, “Your number starts with four and mine starts with three. We are not from the same generation. There is a big generation gap between us.” He deliberately used the word “you” to show respect to distinguish himself from the old man in front of him.
But it was useless. The old man had to give himself some psychological comfort, and drew a clear line between Li Xun and the young people. He said in a subtle way: “I sang “Boundless Oceans and Skies” at the welcome party last night, and found that many children have never even heard of Beyond.”
Li Xun held onto the telescope and forced himself towards the young man: “What is Beyond? I haven’t heard of it either.”
Director Wang was so angry that he blew his hair and glared.
Suddenly, someone in the camouflage team noticed the location of the stands and pointed in that direction.
Song Yang turned around, and the moment their eyes met, Li Xun immediately threw the hot “evidence of voyeurism” to the director.
——Yu Le was the first to discover the “suspicious person” holding a telescope in the stands.
Although Song Yang had solemnly introduced Li Xun’s identity to his roommates yesterday, and half-boastedly pointed out the subtle relationships between them as master and apprentice, neighbors, uncle and nephew, this group of people still preferred the father-son version.
Said it sounds more exciting.
When the group recognized Li Xun, they started to make a fuss like elementary school students, saying, “Hey, little sheep, your big sheep is here to see you!”
