Chapter 103 : Lu Yinxue's helplessness
The eye-catching red headline of the first edition attracted his attention. He struck hard and hit the first line of Jiang City's anti-corruption. Attached was a photograph of dozens of cash and foreign currency, and a dozen passbooks arranged like dominoes.
Wei Haiguo, former vice mayor of Jiangcheng City, secretary of the Political and Law Commission and director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, has been arrested on suspicion of corruption and bribery. The case is still being further investigated...
The old mad dog of the Wei family was caught, and the younger one became a toothless dog, unable to go crazy anymore. Xu Qing felt happy. This was really something worth rejoicing about. He should inform Aunt Zeng and her daughter of this good news as soon as possible.
She took out her phone and dialed home. After two beeps, the call went through. It was Aunt Zeng who answered the call. Xu Qing quickly recounted the news she had read in the newspaper and instructed her to buy a copy of Jiang City Daily immediately.
Xu Qing, who was in a good mood, finished a bowl of noodles and still felt that it was not enough. He ordered another bowl and ate slowly. Anyway, it was still early, so his eyes were intentionally looking at Senior Colonel Jiang's door.
Around eight o'clock, a lot of cars drove into the campus one after another. Many of the drivers were students. I don't know how many of them were bought by themselves. Maybe some of them were bought by parents who tightened their belts and saved money. In these years, it was dad who compared them, and dad who cheated them.
From afar, he saw a military jeep flying over. Lu Yinxue was sitting in the front row. Today, she was wearing a white dress, and her long hair was tied up in a ponytail. What made Xu Qing most excited was the red rope around her neck. He couldn't help but recall the scene when they kissed goodbye that day.
Xu Qing didn't recover until the jeep disappeared from sight. He took a deep breath and continued to eat his noodles. Obviously, his appetite was much worse. After only two bites, he felt that he couldn't eat anymore.
After paying the bill, he walked out of the breakfast stall and happened to see Pan Juan and a slender man with a refined appearance and gold-rimmed glasses walking over arm in arm, hurriedly smiling and greeting him.
Pan Juan smiled." You're early. This is my boyfriend Ge Feng."
Xu Qing smiled and greeted him." Hello, my name is Xu Qing."
Ge Feng smiled politely. Pan Juan took out a tag from her bag and handed it to Xu Qing." Hang this in the auditorium later. I'll call you when things are done."
Xu Qing smiled as he took the token and hung it around his neck. In fact, no one would stop him from entering the singing venue like this. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that he was a student at a glance.
He followed Pan Juan all the way to the Jiang Auditorium. There were already many people sitting inside. On the high platform in the center, there were a few students busy setting up microphones and adjusting the stereo. Pan Juan specially let Xu Qing sit in the back row and reminded him to hold the phone and come over as soon as the phone rang.
Xu Qing felt as if he was working underground. He was excited and nervous. He only hoped that he could see Lu Yinxue as soon as possible and describe the pain of missing her.
The singing competition started very quickly. Xu Qing adjusted his phone to vibrate and held it in his hand. Then, he enjoyed the performance on stage. To be fair, some of the college students 'singing standards were quite good. Even professional singers might not sing every song better than them. Reciting poems was called a passionate emotion, and it would also make people's emotions fluctuate. Xiao Xu watched with interest. He was looking forward to Lu Yinxue's performance on stage.
After half an hour or so, Pan Juan came on stage. She performed singing, singing an old song by Teresa Teng,"When Jun Comes Again." Not to mention her voice was a little natural, singing songs had a different charm.
The next person to appear was indeed Lu Yinxue. She recited the poem. Xu Qing stared blankly at the figure on the stage, not listening carefully to what she said. It was like a certain line in the poem: You see me, or you don't see me, I'll be there, neither sad nor happy; you read me, or you don't read me, love will be there, not coming nor going…
After Lu Yinxue finished her recitation, she bowed politely and slowly walked backstage. At this moment, Xu Qing's phone suddenly vibrated. He quickly picked up the call and heard a soft voice that had not been heard for a long time." You're here. Wait for me at the back door of the auditorium."
"Well, I'm sorry. I'll be right there." Xu Qing hung up the phone and quickly walked out of the auditorium. After identifying the direction, he went around to the back door.
Xu Qing rushed to the back door and saw a dreamy figure standing under an old banyan tree. Xu Qing quickly walked forward and held Lu Yinxue in his arms.
Lu Yinxue's body trembled slightly. She raised her head and looked at that long-lost face. Her eyes met, and everything was silent. Xu Qing lowered her head and kissed her trembling lips…
"Cough cough!" Two light coughs disturbed the young man who was kissing passionately under the tree. The two of them separated as if they were electrocuted. They turned around and saw Pan Juan looking at the two of them mockingly.
Lu Yinxue's pretty face was radiant. She didn't know why he kissed her the moment she saw him. She didn't have any thoughts of resisting at all. This was school!
Xu Qing's face was obviously growing. He smiled generously at Pan Juan and said," Thank you. Let's go eat later."
Pan Juan saw that Lu Yinxue, who was usually as cold as ice, actually had such a passionate side. She had a feeling of surprise in her heart. She was even more convinced of Xu Qing's identity. Look at this crazy chewing appearance. It would be strange if she wasn't a couple.
"Don't be too happy. There are still two soldiers guarding the door! You have to think of a way to elope." Pan Juan pointed in the direction of the school gate and shook her head helplessly.
Lu Yinxue blushed and lowered her head."What elopement? Don't say it so badly!" Grandfather sent them to protect me. They have no ill intentions."
Xu Qing frowned." Then will those soldiers care if we're together?"
Lu Yinxue pulled out a mini headset from her lapel and said," If I encounter any danger, they will rush over immediately. Now that I've turned this off, if they can't hear me in five minutes, they will come looking for me."
Xu Qing smiled and said,"Will they be in a difficult position if I take you out to eat now?" Don't change the subject, okay?"
"I will. I don't want Grandpa to worry, so we can't be together yet. Let's talk about it after this matter is over. Promise me, okay?" Lu Yinxue's voice was very gentle, but it carried a determined air.
"No, I'll take you out now. No one can stop us from being together." Xu Qing frowned and grabbed Lu Yinxue's hand.
"Qing, just listen to me, okay? I want to be with you too, but I can't right now!" Lu Yinxue's expression turned bitter. Tears welled up in her eyes, and even her voice began to tremble.
