Chapter 43: Youth Campus Episode 16

  Afraid that something might happen, Teacher Li ordered them to send Huanzi and Yan Yu back home, so the boys split up to take action, although neither of them was very drunk.

  After Su Luo got off the plane and was tossed around to the hotel, it was almost two o'clock. Although she had been resting with her eyes closed all the way, she still felt very tired. Seeing the bed made her want to pounce on it and sleep immediately. But remembering what Pangzi had entrusted her with, she took out her phone and turned it on. She also worried that the fool didn't know if he was drunk or not, so she simply didn't send a text message and directly dialed his number.

  The fat boy was stuffed into the bedroom and lay quietly, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, wondering what he was thinking. Suddenly, the exclusive ringtone of that person rang out:

  "Are you asleep? I'm in the room." Su Luo's lazy voice came through the phone.

  "Not yet, but I'm home now, and it's just ended here. The room is fine, aren't you hungry? Let Xiaoi get you some midnight snacks or a hot cup of milk, you didn't eat much for dinner." He tried to make his tone sound natural, Xiaoi was Suoluo's assistant, often being "taught" by him, and of course, when she did well, he would secretly give her benefits.

  "Not hungry, I still have to wear a dress tomorrow, eating too much will make me bloated. It's so annoying, why are those young and slender ones thinner than each other? My belly is so big!" Su Luo pouted and complained, in front of the fatty she could always let her guard down and couldn't help but act coquettishly, occasionally being unreasonable and making a fuss, actually just wanting to hear him coax her."

  "It's not like you're a fairy, don't learn from those who are not good, learn from those with pointed faces and small bird legs, they look terrible. Listen, you're already thin enough, you should eat more, it would be better if you were a bit fatter."

  "Really? Then I'm not in the mood now, can I drink milk tomorrow morning?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "I'm craving the dishes you cook, lemon sea bass, pepper salt prawns, rose pork ribs, boiled white cabbage, and black chicken soup." Didn't want to hang up the phone, so continued to find topics to chat about.

  Pangzi's dad is a great chef, so he was able to eat so much when he was young. After Suoluo found out about this, she teased him for a long time. Now Pangzi has also inherited his father's culinary skills, and most of the dishes are learned from Suoluo who had anorexia after surgery.

  "When I come back, I'll pick you up and make it for you." After saying this, he couldn't hold back his tears, which flowed down his cheeks onto the pillowcase, wetting two patches on either side. Afraid that Su Luo would detect something unusual, he could only desperately cover his mouth.

  I want to cook for you for the rest of your life, is it okay?

  He wanted to ask, but couldn't bring himself to do so.

  It's audible that Yan Yu hasn't found her yet, otherwise she wouldn't be chatting with him so calmly. He wants to know what she's thinking, whether she'll turn back for that person, and if he still has a chance, but every time the words reach his lips, he swallows them, without even having the courage to probe.

  Because he was afraid of an ending he couldn't accept.

  He is now like a criminal suspect who has been arrested but not yet sentenced, knowing that the outcome will not be good, but still deceiving himself into hoping for acquittal. However, this possibility is extremely slim.

  "Alright, I'll accept an exclusive interview after the awards ceremony tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we'll take some flat shots in the morning and then you can head back. If everything goes smoothly, you should be able to arrive by 5 pm."

  "Hmm." The fat man didn't dare say more and just let go of his hand, responding with a single word.

  It's really shameful for a big man like him to cry so much, even if no one sees it. He wanted to wipe his tears with the back of his hand, but ended up smearing them all over his face instead.

  "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable or something? Your voice sounds really tired, and there's a nasal tone." Su Luo still detected the abnormality and was very worried.

  Don't be so good to me, I will miss you even more.

  The fat guy pressed down on the receiver, took two deep breaths, and coughed before barely finding his voice: "Nothing's wrong, I just had a bit too much to drink."

  "Is there honey at home? Get some hot water to soak it in, if not, soaking tea is also okay, to relieve the effects of alcohol. I said you have a good capacity for liquor but don't drink like this, it's too painful."

  "Okay, I'll go get it. From now on, I won't drink that much." She always made him say "okay".

  "Alright then, go to bed early and goodnight."

  "Good night."

  They hung up the phone respectively, but both were still thinking of each other, tossing and turning.

  This night, there is also one person destined to be sleepless.

  Yan Yu was also sent back home from the hospital, with his right hand wrapped up like a bear's paw, and he could only use his left hand to open the phone book. He stared at the new number for a long time, thinking of calling it out several times, but ultimately chose to give up.

  On one hand, considering it's already late at night and I don't want to disturb her rest, after all, she hasn't been feeling well. On the other hand, there are too many things I want to say, but I don't know where to start.

  The older you get, the more you think about it, and the more hesitant you become in doing things. If it were two years ago, he would have already used all his connections to find out which hotel she was staying at, and then rushed to her side as quickly as possible. But now, what he wants is not a momentary excitement and romance, but a lifetime of companionship and longevity.

  He wanted to do his best to make her the happiest woman in the world.

  Put down the phone and opened the computer to check a lot of information about spleen removal postoperative care and precautions, and copied and saved some useful ones.

  Also jumped over the wall to a foreign website, found several authoritative experts in this field, and planned to consult with Su Luo Luo's opinion, taking her to re-examine.

  Her health condition is his biggest concern at the moment. Now it finally makes sense why she only sang slow songs quietly in her early days, giving people a weak and melancholic impression. It wasn't because of the company's packaging arrangement, but because her body was really not good, unable to withstand intense exercise. But in high school, she was clearly very healthy and lively, jumping around like a rabbit every day. All of this is because of him, it's all his fault!

  Sorry, Luoluo, I made you suffer, it won't happen again!

  You silly girl! Is it worth it for me?

  He muttered to himself, his eyes reddening.

  I want to see her, I really miss her! Not the glamorous Lori on stage, but the real her.

  However, their connection was nothing more than being classmates. Not even a letter or a photo together existed.

  Yan Yu was very disappointed and sad, after rummaging through an old photo album, he finally found a group photo of his entire high school class, and smiled at the small figure the size of a fingernail on it.

  It's okay, this isn't just a dream of mine, we really did meet before.

  Yan Yun was weaving a web of happiness to envelop Su Luo, while Su Luo was entangled in how to get the fatty to take the initiative to break through that layer of window paper. The fatty was immersed in the sorrow and fear of loss, restless and uneasy.

  What they didn't expect was that the next thing would disrupt everyone's plan due to a post, and also bring the past to the surface. For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, causing countless netizens to sigh, guess, gossip, and curse...

  At first, it was only spread in a small circle. A netizen named "Heartbroken Goddess" wrote an article about how she pursued a certain boy in her class back then, how she was rejected, how she remained infatuated, how she gave up taking the college entrance exam to deliver his admission ticket, and how she unexpectedly got into a car accident. Years later, during the school anniversary, she expressed her feelings through song. The story was vividly told, with sincere words that moved everyone who read it as if they had witnessed it themselves.

  Of course, many people were moved and sighed that my goddess is so sentimental and has cried blindly! Some people also don't believe it, thinking that life is not a TV series, the blogger wants to be famous and crazy, using my goddess as a publicity stunt, there's no man who can resist my goddess' charm, purely nonsense fabrication!

  It was originally supposed to be a non-response, and after a long time, it would have been forgotten. But unexpectedly...

  A big V forwarded it and commented on Su Luo: "Goddess, tell me this isn't true!!!! You don't have a heart or belong to anyone!!!!! [crying][crying]"

  Because it's a marketing account, several familiar sketch comedians also forwarded it one after another. This is getting lively! Netizens swarmed to Su Luo's Weibo comments section like the Spring Festival rush, crying and begging for clarification, but she just posted "My alma mater, I'm fat and here! Happy 100th birthday!!" which perfectly matches the description in the article.

  In less than two hours, this message was pushed to the top of the hot topic list. Fortunately, at that time, the awards ceremony and interviews had all ended, otherwise Su Luo would have been hard-pressed to escape the reporters' pursuit and siege.

  Things haven't ended yet, next, various netizens claiming to be students of F City No. 1 Middle School, goddess alumni, and insiders began to show off their skills. First, the video of that day's school anniversary celebration was dug out, Su Luo wearing a school uniform playing guitar and singing is really touching, netizens carefully analyzed the lyrics word by word, it's even more serious than doing comprehension exercises for the college entrance exam.

  Soon, Yan Yu's identity and photos were also exposed, including his speech that day, the cover of the financial magazine, his net worth, and even a class photo from high school.

  More and more evidence is emerging, and those who did not believe are also defecting one after another.

  It's just an ordinary person, and the enthusiasm of the crowd wouldn't be so high, but it's a handsome guy and a beautiful girl, and such a touching story, so netizens are getting crazier and crazier, CP fans are emerging from scratch, and they're getting bigger and stronger.

  Some people also think that Yan Yu is a scumbag, not worthy of the goddess's devotion, and scolded him severely. In short, this matter has attracted the attention of the whole nation.

  By this time, several parties could no longer be unaware of it.

  Yan Yu was very anxious, and Pangzi was also in a hurry. They were worried that Su Luo would be affected by public opinion, suffer some grievances, or get hurt due to the media's crazy pursuit. Their own emotions took a back seat; her feelings and safety were what mattered most.

  Oddly enough, Suoluo vanished into thin air, and no one could find her.
