"Seriously, during the day, do I really have to listen to this kind of dirty talk?"
As Shen Lang gripped the steering wheel, he nervously pleaded over the phone, "Please, can you tone it down? Your health isn't great as it is. Keep this up, and you might get tackled by ants just walking outside!"
"I'm so bored with you not coming over. When are you coming to hang out again?"
"Let's see, probably the day after tomorrow."
The actresses Shen Lang had signed were almost done with their other film commitments. The script and lines were all set, and once those actresses were free, Shen Lang would be diving into work.
"Alright, okay..."
"Alright, what?"
"Fine!!"
Shen Lang blushed and ended the call abruptly, his heart racing. He quickly silenced the WeChat notifications.
Arriving at the Li Yue Internet Café near Zhuhai University, Shen Lang took a while to calm down in the parking lot.
At that moment, Su Lexuan sent the location of the café along with a short video.
In the video, Ye Xinxin was furiously playing a game, occasionally turning into a piano player, coordinating with her teammates.
Ye Xinxin's outfit was still as hot as ever.
She wore an unbuttoned plaid shirt over a tank top with random English phrases, showing off a lot of her fair skin and highlighting her curvy figure.
Her lower half was in ripped, fringed jeans that showcased her long legs.
The final shot was of Su Lexuan's pretty face, laughing quietly with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Ha-ha, Shen Pig, come rescue us, someone's struggling~"
Today, Ye Xinxin hadn't gone home and was bored in her quiet dorm, so she insisted on going out with Su Lexuan.
Usually, Su Lexuan wouldn't let other girls join her and Shen Lang's private time. Who wants a third wheel when having a romantic outing?
But since Ye Xinxin was a long-time best friend, almost like a sister to Su Lexuan before she started dating Shen Lang, she was happy to include her.
Of course, before going out, Su Lexuan made it clear that Ye Xinxin could not continue hanging out with them after dinner.
Some things are off-limits for best friends—it's a matter of principle!
Ye Xinxin agreed immediately and jokingly teased her bestie: "Forget your friends when a guy is involved."
With the campus network under maintenance, Ye Xinxin suggested they wait for Shen Lang at the Internet café.
The Li Yue Internet Café was very close to Zhuhai University, and half the patrons were students from there.
During his school days, Shen Lang was a regular at this café, always coming with roommates on Friday and Saturday nights.
It was Saturday, and the café was packed. Those who couldn't get a computer either played on their phones in the lounge or hovered behind their friends who had a computer, giving enthusiastic, loud advice.
Shen Lang arrived at the seat number Su Lexuan sent, and from a distance, he saw Ye Xinxin biting her lip while playing games and Su Lexuan lounging on the sofa, scrolling through Douyin.
Approaching them, Shen Lang, admiring Su Lexuan's soft face, said, "You guys actually got a computer? Lucky you."
"Hehe, of course. Today is our lucky day as Aries!"
Su Lexuan happily turned off her phone, looked up with a big smile at Shen Lang, and in her delight, said, "That means I need to absorb your good luck."
"Aww, you're so annoying!"
Su Lexuan playfully rolled her eyes at Shen Lang but happily sat on his lap, leaning close and sweetly asking, "Shen Pig, have you missed me?"
Su Lexuan had been busy studying for the English CET-4 exam and hadn't dared to chat with Shen Lang at night to stay focused. Now that the exam was over and Shen Lang was right in front of her, all her pent-up longing burst out.
Su Lexuan was always lively and didn't care much about others' opinions. Just like on Valentine's Day, she dared to kiss Shen Lang passionately at her community entrance when the mood struck.
1: Flirtatious Question: "So, is there a reward for missing you?"
2: Unimpressed: "I told you before, I've been busy with starting a business and shooting short videos. This is a crucial period for my career; I can't just leave."
3: Eager: "I've missed you so much. I've saved up my feelings for a whole week and will give them all to you tonight!"
"Well, if I've missed you, is there a reward?"
Shen Lang playfully lifted Su Lexuan's little backside, holding her slim waist and pulling her into a sweet hug. He teased, "I need to absorb your luck."
The weather was a bit cool today. Su Lexuan wore a fleece-lined light pink hoodie with a light gray pleated skirt, white warm leg socks, and her hair in lively twin pigtails, radiating youthful energy.
In 2004, Su Lexuan was a typical young woman of the era, skilled with internet trends and loved dressing up, always trying out popular styles.
Each time Shen Lang met Su Lexuan, her outfit was different, like a fashion chameleon.
Su Lexuan tilted her head with a playful pout and pink lips, saying, "Well, you have to say you missed me to get anything."
Even though Su Lexuan loved Shen Lang, she always brought her unique stubbornness and pride into their relationship, forever trying to test her 'bad boy' boyfriend.
She hasn't fully expressed her feelings for Shen Lang yet. A brave and deep confession like Li Liusi's from last night might only come after they get married.
