When Song Linchu was still a few years old, his father passed away unexpectedly, and his mother was seriously ill when he was young. He had to force himself to spread his plump wings to support his home at an age when others were still being coquettish and sheltered.
In his impression, he has hardly received any protection from male elders.
So he was already very touched when he saw Tan Yue spend so much time finding someone to help him teach Yuan Ruidong a lesson with that bad move. He didn't expect Tan Yue to be able to do this, and Song Linchu was a little at a loss for a while.
After the man left, Song Linchu said nervously, "Mr. Tan, it's enough to scare you. You don't need to delay the business because of me."
"It's not because of you," Tan Yue roughly scanned the document, then closed it and put it aside, said calmly, "I just wanted to change my partner."
"..."
Well, the whole paragraph breaks down.
Bai was moved.
Sure enough, he was still the big straight man who was born alone.
Seeing Song Linchu's dejected expression, Tan Yue raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly.
He was able to have the position he is today, all because of deliberation and scheming. He has been dormant and planning in secret for nearly ten years, so he is also extraordinarily indifferent, and generally does not easily help anyone.
Occasionally, it's just that he is willing to help out in such a situation, and he doesn't want others to worry about returning the favor.
Of course Song Linchu couldn't guess what Tan Yue was thinking. He still had classes in the afternoon, so he went back to school first.
As soon as he reached the school gate, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Song Linchu."
Song Linchu turned his head and saw a girl wearing a furry rabbit ear hat, trotting over.
"Sister Zhou." Song Linchu smiled and greeted her.
The girl's name is Zhou Kexin, she is a talented girl from the art department of their school, and also the director of the entertainment department of their school's student union.
"It's really you, what a coincidence," Zhou Kexin ran up to him and said with a smile, "I happen to have something to ask you, let's talk while walking."
Song Linchu walked with her into the school and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Just... the annual campus singer contest is about to start, you know." Zhou Kexin blinked at him.
Song Linchu: "..."
He doesn't want to understand.
The Campus Singer Contest that Zhou Kexin was talking about was jointly organized by their university and the Hang University next door.
Since the school leaders of both sides attach great importance to it, it is held in a decent manner every year, which can be regarded as a major event for their schools.
Zhou Kexin heard Song Linchu sing once by chance, so he followed him and invited him to participate in the competition every year, but Song Linchu refused.
"I'm not good." Song Linchu said.
Zhou Kexin: "Do you think I believe it?"
"..." Song Linchu begged for forgiveness with a bitter face, "Senior sister, please let me go, it's not like no one is attending."
"No, I have a hard time this time! It's just that I'm about to resign as a minister. I've been in the job for two years, and the champion of the singer contest has been won by the next door. I'm very depressed. I want to do it one last time before I get laid off. struggle."
In this singing competition, the schools of the two sides seem to be the first to compete in friendship, but they are actually competing secretly. The competition is very fierce, and after several years, each has won or lost.
But since Song Linchu's class, a big guy who is very good at singing has come to Hangda University. It is said that he has also participated in their Haidutai singer selection variety show, and almost reached the finals.
This is equivalent to a professional slinging an amateur, so the champions of the past two years have been taken by the next door.
Song Linchu helped his forehead: "Do you have any misunderstanding about my strength?"
He just sang better than ordinary people.
Zhou Kexin said: "That's different. You have so many fans, so many people will definitely watch the competition. In this way, at least we will not lose in momentum."
Song Linchu: "..."
Dare to say that he is just a tool to gain popularity.
Since Hangda is also good-looking and very popular, not only does he crush them in terms of strength every year, but the people who go to see him on the spot are also overwhelming, which also has a great impact on the players.
Especially last year, it was estimated that the opponent's momentum was too great. The two students who were very promising to get the rankings on their side did not perform well. The championship and the second season were all contracted by the next door. Some extreme students directly taunted them on the forum.
"Give me a chance to be honorably laid off," Zhou Kexin begged, "OK?"
Song Linchu supported his forehead and said, "I'll think about it, and I'll give you an answer tonight."
"Okay!" Zhou Kexin immediately beamed with joy, "Then I'll wait for your good news."
It wasn't that Song Linchu put on airs and didn't want to participate, the main reason was that it was too showy and the follow-up was very annoying.
When he was in high school, he was arrested to participate in a solo at an art festival, which not only caused a sensation in the school, but the video was spread to other schools. Every day, someone stopped him at the school gate and asked him for WeChat. Song Linchu was numb.
Ever since he turned down every opportunity to show off.
Song Linchu returned to the dormitory, it was still lunch break, Li Chang was alone in the dormitory, and he was having a sticky video with his girlfriend.
Li Chang's girlfriend is a professional flight attendant at the Air University next door, and she is also a flower.
People in their dormitory used to make fun of Li Chang, saying that he must have saved the Milky Way in his previous life in order to have such a beautiful girlfriend.
Seeing him come back, Li Chang said a few words to his girlfriend, ended the call, and exaggeratedly said to Song Linchu: "Finally back, it's incredible, our little darling has also learned not to return all night."
"Fuck you." Song Linchu scolded with a smile.
"Didn't you go to the senior's birthday party yesterday? I heard the voice of the person who answered the phone didn't sound like a senior. You won't be kidnapped by some stinky man."
"..." You are right.
But Song Linchu didn't tell him what happened last night, so as not to worry him. Anyway, it's all over, so he just said vaguely: "A friend of mine."
"Oh," Li Chang didn't ask, "It's good that you're fine."
Song Linchu sat down at his desk, took out his mobile phone and wanted to say something to Tan Yue, but was afraid that he would choke him back and make him angry.
After a while, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Chang who was sending a message to his girlfriend with a silly smile again: "I want to ask you something."
Li Chang asked, "Ah?" and then said, "You ask."
"How did you chase your girlfriend?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Li Chang got excited, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, actually, it wasn't me chasing her, it was she who first came to express her goodwill to me."
Song Linchu looked at him with an expression of "just blow it up".
"Really, I'm very good at basketball. I was the main force of the school basketball team in high school. How to put it, it's pretty cool. After a school basketball game, she took the initiative to add me and said that I was very like Her idol, Rukawa Kaede, comes and goes, you know."
Song Linchu: "..."
I understand it, but it has no reference value at all.
He doesn't know how to play basketball, and Tan Yue probably doesn't know Rukawa Feng either.
"Why do you ask this suddenly? You can't be in love with some girl and want to chase after it?"
Song Linchu denied: "No."
"Hey! Your expression tells me yes!" Li Chang dragged a chair to his side, "Then you should ask the right person. I, Li Chang, are known as the master of feelings. How many people come to ask me how to chase a girlfriend."
I don’t know if it’s a master of feelings, but it’s true that many people go to ask for advice.
After all, not everyone has the ability to catch up with Xihua.
Song Linchu squinted at him: "Tell me about it."
"Of course it is to let the other party see your shining point. Look, every time you participate in a competition and stand under the spotlight to receive an award, don't many people come to ask you to express their love for you on WeChat? This is you Your shining point, your charm, isn't my girlfriend also conquered by my handsome basketball appearance!"
Song Linchu nodded thoughtfully.
It seems... makes sense.
That night, Zhou Kexin received the news that Song Linchu had confirmed his participation.
***
In the blink of an eye, it was Wednesday, Song Linchu and they had no class in the afternoon, so he told Tan Yue, and made a medicinal meal for him.
This time I made beef herbal soup, which is still delicious and fresh, just smelling it makes people move their index fingers.
The smog of the hot soup is lingering on the face of the person. Tan Yue's face is like a cedar in the cold mountain, and it looks a little warm at this time.
"Is there something wrong?"
Tan Yue drank the last sip of soup slowly, put down the spoon, and looked at the person sitting across from him who was looking at him eagerly.
The young man's eyes are black and clear, with a bit of innocence that doesn't know much about the world. When looking at people like this, it will make people have the urge to pluck all the stars in the sky for him.
"It's not a big deal, just want to ask if you are free this Saturday night?"
"No."
Song Linchu: "..."
Why didn't you play the cards according to the routine!
At least ask something first!
It's okay, he didn't ask, Song Linchu said it himself.
"I participated in our school's singing competition. The preliminary competition will be broadcast live on Apple TV on Saturday. Would you like to come to the live broadcast room to cheer me on?"
Tan Yue asked back: "Come on, can you see it?"
"..." Good question, he really couldn't see it.
But is that the point?
"Although I can't see it, as long as I think of you and see it again, I will be full of strength and perform better and better!"
Tan Yue wiped his mouth with paper, but didn't speak.
Song Linchu immediately said: "My rival is also participating in this competition. Winning or losing is very important to me. If I lose, I will be ridiculed in the face by him. Do you have the heart to see me being mocked in the face?"
"You can't bear it, right!" Before Tan Yue spoke, Song Linchu was afraid of humiliating himself, so he immediately spoke for him, looked at him pitifully, and made a big move, "Brother——"
Tan Yue paused.
This was the first time Song Linchu called his elder brother. Unlike the cold words on WeChat, his voice was clear, with a slight rise in the end. It didn't sound like a address, but rather like a baby.
Due to family reasons, Tan Yue doesn't like the name "brother".
Only now did he realize that this title could be so intimate.
"Oh," Tan Yue finally let go, "We'll see when the time comes."
"..." It's all like this, we'll see it later, are you human!
Song Linchu gritted his teeth, it's okay, he will come to harass him again on Saturday.
If he doesn't watch the live broadcast, just cut out the part of his performance and send it to him!
If he still doesn't see it, send him a photo!
Really, as long as he works hard enough, a straight man of steel can also be broken into a paper clip!
