Chapter 103 A Broken-hearted Song (2/2)
Thunder rumbled, a flash of purple lightning lit up the sky, amidst the dark surrounding. The rain poured down, like a waterfall, soaking him to the skin.
This time, Long Xi finally could not help going up to him with an umbrella, calling out to Yan Wangchuan and stuffing the umbrella into his hand.
Yan Wangchuan hurriedly sheltered himself and Long Xi, with the umbrella, then said faintly, ”I intend to apply for the Music Performance Department of the University of Film and Television in City B.” ”Xixi, I remember that on my seventh birthday, you folded a bottle of lucky stars and gave it to me, and inside each lucky star, there was a message. I am not asking for much. I just hope that you can send me another bottle of lucky stars, before I go for that exam. Is that alright?”
Long Xi was a girl who cried easily. At this time, she became bit tearful as she was deeply moved, from the bottom of her heart.
She nodded her head vigorously, to show that she would do that
Yan Wangchuan's eyes were full of glittering tears.
Long Xi wiped away her tears. Without taking the umbrella, she turned and ran back to the dormitory.
Yu Lanjie, who saw this scene from the windowsill, saw Long Xi coming back and asked with some concern, ”Little Xi, do you still have feelings for Yan Wangchuan? It's unfair to brother Mo Kun!”
Long Xi closed the door, put the lunch box on Yu Lanjie's desk and said, ”No, my heart only belongs to Brother Kun. But brother Wangchuan is not only my first love but also my good friend, my brother, and a part of my childhood. He just asked me to send him a bottle of lucky stars. How could I refuse that request?”
Yu Lanjie sighed and said, ”In fact, Master Wangchuan is also pathetic! Actually... I used to... that's... I also liked him when I was a freshman in high school!”
”Ah?” Long Xi was surprised. ”Really? How come I didn't know? You never mentioned anything!”
”At that time... we were not as close as we are right now. Besides, I know he's your first love. How can I tell that to you? Later, he was together with Man Shahua, and I slowly gave up hope.” Yu Lanjie's voice was almost inaudible.
Long Xi thought for a moment and asked, ”What about now? He's broken up with Man Shahua. Do you still have feelings for him? Actually, I think you two are a good match. He's able, you're beautiful, and you both like music.”
Yu Lanjie said shyly, ”I thought I had no feelings for him. I felt that I was in love with an illusory person, the Lord of Yulin, in the illusion. But these days, Master Wangchuan plays the violin so beautifully every evening, and I find myself feeling a little...”
Long Xi laughed and went into the bathroom. She closed the door, took off her wet clothes and shouted through the door, ”Dear, would you like me to pass on the message for you? You see, Weiwei used to love Xiaolu and it was an unrequited love. She pursued but failed to get him, it was so painful. Now, isn't that a good result? When it comes to Love, we must take the initiative to fight for it!”
Yu Lanjie stopped eating and said hurriedly, ”Don't do that. His mind is on you now, how will I ever catch his eyes? Besides my presence is so low-key, he might not even see me.”
Long Xi put shampoo on her long hair and said, ”Who said that? You've got character, just like a pure, white and elegant jasmine, a quiet and beautiful girl.”
Yu Lanjie smiled and said, ”Stop talking about me and let my affairs take their course! The weather forecast says it will be sunny on Saturday. What do you think? Could it be the wrong forecast? Doesn't brother Mo Kun's Star Invention Exclusive Sale Company officially open at nine o'clock on Saturday morning? As the company's nominated vice president, you have to attend the ribbon-cutting and opening ceremony!”
Long Xi stood washing her hair, and said, ”I'm a little worried, too. What attire should I use to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony? I do have a white suit jacket, that goes with a black lace dress. It's my design, elegant, fashionable, and magnificent. But I can't afford diamond buttons or anything of that sort, so the dress is suitable for civilians and for ordinary white-collar workers to wear. But I'm now the nominated female vice president, and it's such an important occasion for a new company. I heard Brother Kun saying that he’ll be inviting reporters from the TV station, so I should wear a better outfit, befitting the style of a female vice president. Moreover, I have to match the outfit with a suitable hairstyle, and jewels! I don't have any of those things! However, Brother Kun says that he'll deal with it and told me not to worry.”
Yu Lanjie laughed and said, ”Since brother Mo Kun said that, then it should not be a problem.”
She used to harbor secret feelings about Mo Kun, but later she also figured out that what she liked was actually the Lord of Yulin, which was illusory, like a dream like a bubble!
Now, she saw that Long Xi and Mo Kun had deep feelings for each other, and Long Xi treated her so well. That was when she made up her mind to put away that short and hopeless one-way secret love!
After taking a bath, Long Xi came out and saw Yu Lanjie, trying on a pair of new shoes.
It was a pair of white smiley face shoes.
On the tip of each smiley shoe, was a small opening, like a little mouth. Next to the little mouth there were a few mouse whiskers printed on it, and above the mouth, there was a pair of small eyes. It looked like a smiling face of a little mouse.
Yu Lanjie smiled and said, ”My daddy bought these smiley shoes when he went to Spain to direct a movie. They're cute, aren't they? It's said that this kind of smiley shoes was first invented by a famous Spanish designer, several years ago. Aren't they lovely?”
Long Xi laughed and praised them, ”Lovely! Your dad loves you very much! Did he go to Spain to direct his films? You mentioned previously, that he was a film director?”
Yu Lanjie said, ”Yes, but he's not very famous. Have you heard of him? His name is Yu Zhengrong!”
Long Xi said, ”Oh, it's him! I read in the newspaper that he recently directed a film that was shot in Spain. The film is called The Beautiful Sorrow of Spain. The film is now a commercial success, a box office hit. Besides, it's said that it may win awards. Your dad has now become a new favorite of the film kingdom, a hot property.”
Yu Lanjie said, ”Yeah, he seems to be riding high recently, feeling like he's going to fly to the sky! He's like the Buddha at home now, and my mother dotes on him, too!”
