Su Qing couldn't help but laugh.
To tell the truth, she felt Su Qing would look better in white suspenders than Zheng Yanyan, because Zheng Yanyan was naturally a lively girl and it wouldn't be surprising to see her in any kind of outfit. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel✶fire.net
Whereas Su Qing was more dignified.
So, wearing white suspenders would create more of a contrast.
You can't say, thinking about Su Qing in white suspenders, Zhou Yuwen looked forward to it even more.
After finishing the meal, Zhou Yuwen went to the front desk and opened a room with a large bed.
Plans can't keep up with changes; by ten o'clock in the morning, the rain had stopped.
The trip to Suzhou was originally for a class, and the teacher wouldn't let the students just stay in the hotel, so taking advantage of the current free time, the teacher planned to take everyone for a visit to the Lion Grove Garden.
As for Zheng Yanyan and the other three girls, they could move freely. Yesterday, when they walked through Guanqian Street, Zheng Yanyan took many photos and posted them on social media, attracting countless likes from friends, which made Zheng Yanyan very happy; today she wanted to go to some upscale places in Suzhou.
Shen Yu said, then you should go check out the Suzhou Center, though it's not yet complete, it certainly counts as one of Suzhou's landmark buildings.
"Where is it?" Zheng Yanyan was indeed interested.
It was a pity, though, that neither Su Qing nor Lu Lin seemed very keen on going.
Lu Lin was always more of a homebody, and now that it had been raining, she preferred to lay in bed at the hotel even more.
Lu Lin not going didn't matter much to Zheng Yanyan, but the thought of Su Qing possibly having some encounter with Zhou Yuwen at the hotel gave Zheng Yanyan a sense of crisis.
Not until Su Qing said that she would not be at the hotel that day.
"I have a relative in Suzhou, and I need to go see her today." Su Qing seemed to know that Zheng Yanyan was worried about her and said somewhat speechlessly.
"You have relatives in Suzhou?" Zheng Yanyan asked with a light chuckle.
"No, no, of course, you can."
So, the four girls split up, Zheng Yanyan and Shen Yu going to Suzhou Center, Su Qing alone to the old town area, and Lu Lin laying like a corpse in the hotel.
Lying in bed until the afternoon and feeling bored, she sent Zhou Yuwen a message, asking where he was.
Zhou Yuwen said he was at the Suzhou Museum.
Lu Lin told him that Zheng Yanyan and the others had gone out to play.
"It's just me alone in the hotel."
"Oh, I'm in class," Zhou Yuwen replied.
Lu Lin was somewhat disappointed that Zhou Yuwen hadn't understood her hint.
After thinking for a moment, "Then shall I come find you?"
In half an hour, Lu Lin took a taxi to the entrance of the Suzhou Museum, and Zhou Yuwen came out to meet her.
The state of today's class was pretty much the same as yesterday's. Although some students took the initiative to get closer to Zhou Yuwen and chat with him,
Zhou Yuwen's response was always lukewarm— even when others wanted to become friends, they didn't know what topics to talk about.
After a while, when they turned around, they saw that another girl had joined Zhou Yuwen.
It seemed she was a close friend of Zhou Yuwen's girlfriend.
Now, nearly a term into the new academic year, compared to the beginning of the year, Zheng Yanyan and the others had changed noticeably, such as learning to wear makeup and elevating their clothing styles beyond the student level.
However, the change in Lu Lin didn't seem as significant; she would still wear a black T-shirt—and now that it was colder, she might layer it with a jacket—paired with black bootcut jeans below.
She didn't often sport a big smile on her face, but like most girls, she still hoped to spend more time with her boyfriend.
Sun Lili was teaching the students up front.
Zhou Yuwen walked behind with Lu Lin following along.
Since they were with acquaintances, it was awkward for them to hold hands.
Lu Lin had her hands stuffed in her jacket pockets.
It was a weekend, and the Suzhou Museum was quite crowded.
Most were parents bringing their children to experience the rich cultural history of the Jiangnan area.
A young couple was hugging their child while looking at jade artifacts.
The child was small, just learning to walk, so they put him on the ground to practice. Gazing up, hands outstretched, he made noises indicating he wanted to grab the jade pieces inside the glass case.
The young father said, "You can't touch that, it's jade. Say it with me, jade!"
The child babbled, "Eat!"
"You can't eat, you can't eat that, it's jade!"
Lu Lin, who was watching this scene from afar, couldn't help but snicker with laughter.
Zhou Yuwen, who hadn't initially noticed, looked over when he saw Lu Lin laughing, only then did he notice the young couple.
He asked her what was so funny.
Leaning on Zhou Yuwen, Lu Lin whispered to him that the little kid was a foodie, always thinking about eating.
Zhou Yuwen didn't understand why that was funny.
But, seeing Lu Lin covering her mouth, laughing happily, Zhou Yuwen just laughed along. Actually, Lu Lin looked quite beautiful when she laughed.
And Lu Lin, realizing Zhou Yuwen had been staring at her, stopped laughing after a bit. She shyly glared at Zhou Yuwen and muttered, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, you really like kids that much?" Zhou Yuwen asked.
Lu Lin said it was fun to watch others' kids, but not to raise her own.
Now that the teacher and classmates had moved to another gallery, Zhou Yuwen and Lu Lin had been left behind. Zhou Yuwen took Lu Lin's hand, saying, "If you like, we can have one of our own in the future."
"I would not have a child for you," Lu Lin said with a pout, her mouth curving sweetly even as she said, "Go find Zheng Yanyan to bear your children."
"No way, it has to be you, and we'll have one as flat-chested as you," Zhou Yuwen retorted.
"You," Lu Lin, who had barely cheered up for a moment, was taken aback by Zhou Yuwen's comment and was close to pinching him.
