Berry Muffins

Chapter 18 University

18

The summer vacation is coming to an end soon, and Tao Lan also reserved some time to prepare for the start of school. Han Xu, a part-time job in the dessert shop, reserved it for him. After school starts, he can go there in the evenings and weekends.The friendship with Lu Yuqing is one aspect, but Han Xu himself also likes Tao Lan, he is serious and careful, and he is also diligent in his work.

Moreover, Tao Lan's birthday is coming soon. When grandma was still around, she would secretly buy him a small cake every year, and only dared to go back after eating in the small park outside.After grandma passed away, he never bought cakes for his birthday.

Because it was his birthday this time, he originally wanted to buy a beautiful big cake, but in the end he was a little reluctant to pay, so he chose a small cake.Anyway, it's enough for two people to eat. Lu Yuqing doesn't like to eat this kind of sweet and greasy food.

Unexpectedly, when he returned home with a small cake and soda, his face was covered in fireworks at the door.

The living room is full of lively traces of decoration, and there is also a big and beautiful strawberry cake on the dining table.

Tao Lan was in a state of shock. He didn't expect Lu Yuqing to remember his birthday, and even secretly bought a cake to celebrate his birthday.

·

Two cakes, one large and one small, were neatly arranged on the dining table, as well as some beautiful soda drinks and wine.

"Happy birthday." Lu Yuqing put candles on both cakes, Tao Lan also blew them out twice and made wishes twice.

Sure enough, the two people who don't like sweets can't finish eating so many cakes. The unfinished part can only be frozen in the refrigerator and reduced to breakfast for the next few days.

Tao Lan is already an adult, so he also tried beer with Lu Yuqing, but he regretted it after only one sip.

"Hmm...this tastes terrible." Tao Lan complained honestly.

Lu Yuqing smiled softly, and took a big sip herself: "Children's taste."

Tao Lan glared at him, and muttered in a low voice, "Obviously I don't drink well."

Although the voice was very low, it was still heard by Lu Yuqing, who had a keen hearing.Tao Lan's poor cheek flesh suffered again.

Lu Yuqing is such a person, he doesn't let people tell the truth even though he is a bad drinker.

"I'm an adult, I can find a girlfriend." Lu Yuqing looked into Tao Lan's eyes and suddenly said with a half-smile.

Tao Lan happened to be drinking a lactic acid bacteria drink and almost choked on it. He beat his heart exaggeratedly, then shook his head blushing.

"Don't all boys of seventeen or eighteen want to fall in love?"

Tao Lan bit her lower lip and shook her head again.

Lu Yuqing didn't continue this topic, but opened another can of beer neatly.

·

The two drank slowly like this, until Tao Lan felt a little dizzy at the end.Beer is indeed much easier to drink than sparkling fruit wine...

"You drank too much last time, it was a friend who sent you back."

Tao Lan glared at Lu Yuqing with a blushing face, and began to accuse him of his crimes.

Lu Yuqing paid a little more attention this time, at least he didn't let himself drink too much. Hearing Tao Lan say this, he couldn't help thinking about when it happened.

About the last time those two people came to drink with him?

He does remember drinking a little too much, and he doesn't remember how he got home.

"Still treating me like a cat... Special, special bastard."

Tao Lan complained again, her eyes were also red, especially like a little rabbit who has been wronged and has nowhere to vent.

Lu Yuqing only thought he was cute, and even the little mole dotted in the middle of his Adam's apple looked interesting.

"I shouldn't be like this."

Lu Yuqing propped her chin up with her hands, and her unstandard peach blossom eyes were slightly squinted, looking sly and a bit wicked.

Seeing his denial, Tao Lan curled her lips angrily, Xingxing's eyes were full of grief and indignation, and she was still muttering over and over in a low voice.

Lu Yuqing smiled and patted his head, always having the illusion of turning a stray kitten into a cute little one at home.

·

Tao Lan was supported and hugged by Lu Yuqing back to the bedroom, and fell straight on her soft bed, her eyes still staring blankly at the figure directly above.

His fingers grabbed the hem of Lu Yuqing's shirt.

"Good boy." Lu Yuqing pinched his face and said with a smile, "Let go."

Tao Lan shook his head, suddenly smiled lightly, and said with blurred eyes: "Brother Lu...you are so kind."

Lu Yuqing: "?"

Lu Yuqing looked at him with lowered eyes for a while, then smiled helplessly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tao Lan was very stubborn when he was drunk, and seemed very dissatisfied with Lu Yuqing's rebuttal to him. He grabbed the hem of his shirt and refused to let go, staring straight at Lu Yuqing with a pair of almond eyes.

"I always thought you were fine..."

Tao Lan blinked and felt sleepy again, the muttering behind her was too soft for Lu Yuqing to hear clearly.

"I'm not really good."

Lu Yuqing replied with lowered eyes, and slowly pulled away Tao Lan's hand.

·

Some people retain memories when they're drunk, some don't.

Tao Lan is lucky to be the latter, and Lu Yuqing is not a person who likes to review drunken memories for others.

After all, he doesn't drink very much himself, so if a bad friend reviews his drunken deeds, he will be beaten.

Under the double stimulation of kicking off the quilt drunk and greedy for coldness and choosing to eat cake for breakfast in order not to waste it, Tao Lan was honored to have a fever and a cold a few days before the start of military training.

Originally, the military training before entering S University was mandatory to live on campus, but seeing his sick and crooked appearance, Lu Yuqing also felt very helpless, so he asked someone to go to the hospital to give him a sick note to avoid the military training perfectly.

Tao Lan lay powerlessly on the bed and sniffed, only feeling dizzy.

"Ask for leave?"

Lu Yuqing poured him another cup of hot water, and said calmly, "Well, I have issued a sick note, and I can just escape the military training."

Tao Lan didn't have the strength to sit up, but he was still thinking about the start of the journal while he was dizzy.

Lu Yuqing was helpless: "It's the same to report for duty after the illness is better, but you don't need to participate in military training, just hide in the sick number pile."

"..." Tao Lan blinked and whispered, "It feels like cheating."

Lu Yuqing couldn't hold back: "Idiot."

-------------------------------------

After the fever subsided, Tao Lan went to report with his schoolbag and materials. He didn't choose to live on campus, so he saved a lot of accommodation fees anyway.

Sickly, Tao Lan went to the lounge for self-study, which was full of people who had taken sick leave like him and did not need to attend self-study.In fact, he was still a little dizzy, and after taking the medicine, he fell asleep on his stomach because he couldn't resist the force of the medicine.

His cold didn't get better until the military training was completely over.

Maybe it's because the course work is not easy, the real college life is not as rich and exciting as Tao Lan imagined.

At three o'clock and one line every day, I went to class and went home from work, and I almost tightened myself into a wind-up little superman.

Lu Yuqing also persuaded Tao Lan not to work so hard, but Tao Lan always promised to be good every time, and still eager to get a part-time job in the dessert shop.

Compared with high school, at least there is a lot more extracurricular time at will.

Many students choose to join clubs, or fall in love, and many choose to work part-time.

Individuals have personal choices.

·

The first few days of school just happened to be a hot day for recruiting new clubs. Tao Lan didn't like to join in the fun by nature, but he couldn't help but glance at it when he passed by, and he also took several flyers for recruiting new clubs.

It's just that he doesn't have any clubs that he wants to join. Although S University counts clubs as credits, they are not very attractive to him.

Because of his slow personality and the fact that he was still a day student after entering university, Tao Lan hadn’t made any new friends after more than a week of school. Life is also very comfortable.

If Lu Yuqing wasn't a senior this year, maybe the two of them could have dinner together.It's a pity that Lu Yuqing is now a social animal with half a foot in the society, and he is also very busy.

·

In the end, Tao Lan randomly chose a club to join, of course, referring to Lu Yuqing's opinion.

In the film club of S University, the general club activities are to watch movies together, and it doesn’t matter if you go to bed, just sign in, and it’s especially good for credits.

The current senior of the film club is Lu Yuqing's junior in the same department, and the two have also partnered in the same online distribution club before, which can be regarded as their friendship after drinking milk tea.

The president is also very easy to speak, and his voice is very pleasant, very energetic and has a bit of a youthful voice with his own personality.

I am a somewhat chubby little fat man.

The activities of the film club are basically carried out every two weeks, so Tao Lan will deliberately set aside time to participate on that day.

Over time, I also discovered that club activities are really easy to give birth to young lovers...

Some people get together after watching a movie.

·

After entering university, Tao Lan is much more cheerful than before, and he is no longer the overly introverted and shy boy he was back then.

Maybe it's because there is no need to worry anymore, the future is clear, and everything looks like the future can be expected.He also opened up a lot, his originally thin face became rounder, and the lines were softer and gentler.

The almond eyes with slightly drooping tails are the most outstanding feature, and there is also a beautiful light in the eyes.

It's a pity that he couldn't grow taller. Tao Lan's height was fixed at 177, and there was really no way to increase it. For this reason, he was sad for a while.

If possible, he still wants to grow to 180...

·

He always thought that he was unattractive and inconspicuous, so when he was confessed suddenly, he was very confused.

Especially when he was just leaving the library and walking on the campus path to go home, a big boy with a basketball suddenly jumped out of the crowd and said to him with a serious face that I like you.

All the environment is very inappropriate, even the boy's confession seems very abrupt.

He didn't even want to know the boy's name, just shook his head and ran away quickly, like a frightened rabbit.
