The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 41 How far do I have to go to get into your heart~ (Additional chapter for Aria of the Night)
Coming out of the subway, Wu Xianyu had empty hands and his lips were tightly pursed. Lin Miaomiao threw the empty cup in her hand into the trash can and walked in front.

"Let's go back to the hotel"

Wu Xianyu said nothing, his hand on the shoulder strap of his guitar case as he followed behind Lin Miaomiao.

Not hearing Wu Xianyu's voice, Lin Miaomiao turned around and saw that he had a stern face. She walked over to him and poked him with her elbow.
"I just stole your drink, why are you so stingy?"

"Okay, okay, let's go back to the hotel."

Wu Xianyu didn't dare to say more, for fear that he would not be able to hold back his smile, and urged to hurry back to the hotel.

Lin Miaomiao looked at him with a smile that he couldn't suppress, and chuckled, and the two of them walked towards the hotel side by side.

Not long after, the two saw the entrance of the hotel. Just as they were about to go over, Wu Xianyu stopped and took a few steps back. He saw a figure in the store nearby.

"Haozi?"

Hearing the noise, Lin Miaomiao turned around and looked, and sure enough, she saw Jiang Tianhao sitting alone in the corner of a light food bar.

The two pushed the door open, indicated to the waiter that they were Jiang Tianhao's friends, and sat opposite Jiang Tianhao.

Sensing someone around, Jiang Tianhao raised his head and looked at the other person with red eyes. When he saw it was Wu Xianyu, he immediately lowered his head again.

But the two of them still saw it clearly, Wu Xianyu shook his head
"No way, why are you crying again? It's not worth it. She never wanted to be with you in the first place. You were the one who stuck to her."

"You do not understand"

Jiang Tianhao said sullenly, picked up the beer bottle on the table, filled the glass in front of him, and drank it in one gulp.

"When I came back this afternoon, Qian Sanyi invited Xiaoqi to visit his room, and Xiaoqi actually agreed."

"What's there to see in the room? Aren't they all twin rooms? There will be another person there, it's nothing to worry about."

Lin Miaomiao didn't think there was anything wrong with this. With a third party present, the two of them wouldn't do anything inappropriate even if they were too outrageous.

Jiang Tianhao raised his head and looked at the two of them with a sad look.
"However, Qian Sanyi's room was upgraded to a king-size bed room because he said he was not used to sleeping in the same room with other people, and the teacher agreed."

Lin Miaomiao was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to answer. With a single man and a single woman in the same room, who knows what sparks might fly, such as a kiss. Thinking of this, Lin Miaomiao glanced at Wu Xianyu's lips without leaving a trace.

But Wu Xianyu's thoughts were more adult. After all, those two had already hit home runs, and no one could predict what would happen. No matter how smart Qian Sanyi was, there was no blood supply to his brain at that time, and who knew if he would do something when he got hot-headed.

Watching Jiang Tianhao drinking one cup after another, Wu Xianyu thought for a long time and didn't know how to start. He felt that what he wanted to say was not very appropriate. He couldn't tell Jiang Tianhao that your goddess is now moaning under someone else's crotch. Wu Xianyu was afraid that this sentence would directly destroy Jiang Tianhao's spiritual world.

Just when there was silence, a burst of music suddenly sounded in the store. When I walked in, I didn't look carefully, but there was a microphone in the corner of the store. A waiter in work clothes stood there and spoke.

"I can't predict for you whether compromise will work.
But I am so reluctant to let my friends love me so painfully."

When Wu Xianyu heard this opening, he felt something was wrong. It sounded familiar. Sure enough, when that person sang the chorus

"Happy breakup, I wish you happiness, you can find someone better"

As soon as this line of lyrics came out, it was like a switch was pressed, and Jiang Tianhao's tears fell from his eye sockets like pearls that had broken off the string. However, he still bit his lips stubbornly to prevent himself from making any sound.

"Wow, we found out why Haozi was crying so sadly. If it weren't for this store, Haozi might have recovered a long time ago."

Wu Xianyu looked at the person who was immersed in his singing and forced himself to suppress his smile.

But Lin Miaomiao's patience was not as strong as Wu Xianyu's. When she saw Jiang Tianhao crying, she lowered her head and shrugged her shoulders. Not laughing was the last bit of dignity she left for Jiang Tianhao as his friend.

After the song ended, the staff came to Wu Xianyu and whispered
"Hello, we also have a song request service here, if you want to show off your singing skills that's fine too."

After all, Wu Xianyu was carrying a guitar on his back, which naturally made people think that he could sing.

Wu Xianyu looked at the microphone and remembered an emo hit song that he often saw when watching short videos in his previous life. He wondered if this song was out now.

But looking at Jiang Tianhao's condition, there would be no way to end this situation unless he hit him hard.

Standing up, Wu Xianyu took his guitar, walked to the microphone, and sat on the high stool brought by the waiter. He didn't remember the lyrics so clearly. After all, the short video was segmented, so he simply played a guitar first. After finding the feeling, Wu Xianyu spoke into the microphone.

"Fascinated by your eyes,
There are traces of the galaxy
Through the cracks of time,
It still really draws me in.”

Wu Xianyu directly replaced the lyrics with guitar when he didn't remember them.

"How long will it take before I can get close to you?
The person who is so close yet so far away

Waiting to meet you too,

"The Planet That Circumnavigates"

Lin Miaomiao stared in amazement as Jiang Tianhao broke down and cried, his voice almost covering up Wu Xianyu's singing, snot and tears streaming down his face.

Wu Xianyu didn't stop singing. Listening to Jiang Tianhao's crying, he felt it was even more touching. This song had to be accompanied by crying.

How far do I have to go to get into your heart?
How long will it take to get close to you?
The person who is so close yet so far away

How lucky do you have to be to find out?"

After the song ended, Wu Xianyu returned to his seat and looked at Jiang Tianhao, who had no strength to cry, and asked Lin Miaomiao beside him:
"How about it?"

"How about what?"

"I don't know where I heard that song, but it feels very suitable for this moment."

Lin Miaomiao looked at Wu Xianyu with strange eyes.

"It is indeed suitable, and it is also suitable for a black-hearted person like you. Are you going to make Haozi cry to death?"

"It's okay to vent your emotions. It's enough for a grown man to cry once. If you cry too much, people will look down on you."

After pouring himself a glass of beer and moistening his throat, Wu Xianyu patted Jiang Tianhao on the shoulder.
"Okay, I'm done crying, let's go back to the hotel. It's already past nine o'clock."

Jiang Tianhao raised his head. His eyes were swollen, but he was much calmer.
"Then let's go first. Let's pass by the pharmacy and see if there are any ice packs for sale."

When checking out, the clerk looked at Wu Xianyu

"Um, handsome guy, did you write that song yourself?"

"Ah? No, I forgot where I heard it."

Wu Xianyu denied it flatly. The clerk felt a little regretful and asked carefully:

"I just recorded you singing, it should be okay."

"It's okay, just do whatever you want. If you want to post it online, remember to mark that this song is not mine, although I can't remember who sang the original version."

The three of them walked out of the light snack bar and bought an ice pack for Jiang Tianhao nearby, trying to avoid acquaintances. The three of them took the elevator back to their respective rooms. When Lin Miaomiao returned to the room, she saw that Deng Xiaoqi had already changed into a nightgown and applied a facial mask, so she asked casually:

"Xiaoqi, have you finished your meal?"

"I've eaten, I've eaten, you're finally back, I'm so bored sitting alone in my room"

Having said that, Deng Xiaoqi sat on the bed motionless, and the expression on her face didn't show boredom.

Lin Miaomiao didn't take it seriously. She put down the bag she had been carrying all day and prepared to take off her clothes and take a shower.

After taking a hot shower, Lin Miaomiao felt something was wrong when she took the bath towel, but she didn't take it seriously. After she dried her hair, changed into pajamas and sat on the bed, she saw Deng Xiaoqi's half-dry hair, and Lin Miaomiao suddenly figured it out.

Both bath towels in the bathroom were dry!

Thinking of this, Lin Miaomiao looked at her phone, but her thoughts were wandering. If Deng Xiaoqi had just finished taking a shower, why was the towel in the bathroom dry? Did she ask the hotel to change it? That shouldn't be the case. Logically, the hotel should have changed it tomorrow. Could it be that
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Miaomiao suddenly tightened her grip on the phone, as if she had discovered an incredible secret.

After a while, Lin Miaomiao opened Wu Xianyu's chat page and thought that this person must be very tight-lipped. If she didn't find someone to talk to about this kind of thing, she would easily feel depressed.

Meow Meow Doesn't Eat Fish: Xianyu, I found something very important. I'm telling you, you have to promise not to spread it.

Xianyu: Go ahead, I keep my mouth shut.
Miaomiao doesn't eat fish: I found that Xiaoqi had taken a bath, but the bath towels in the bathroom were dry.
Salted Fish: Oh, I see. You don’t have to say anything. I’m not interested.
Meow Meow Doesn't Eat Fish: You know? How did you know? I haven't said anything yet.

Lin Miaomiao looked at Wu Xianyu's message and seemed to think of his calm face, but Lin Miaomiao couldn't stay calm. She panicked for a moment, and thought about all kinds of messed up plots in this moment, but she calmed down when she saw the message from Wu Xianyu.

Xianyu: I guess it was the day we saw the two of them getting in a car last time.
Xianyu: Because on the first day of school, I noticed something was wrong with the two of them. Qian Sanyi broke through Deng Xiaoqi's safe distance, but she didn't react at all.

Xianyu: Normally, girls are more sensitive about their bodies, and if someone gets a little closer, they will reflexively move away.
Thinking about the few times she had come into contact with Wu Xianyu, Lin Miaomiao found that what Wu Xianyu said was right. Although she knew that the person was Wu Xianyu, she would sometimes unconsciously avoid him.

Then she thought about how Deng Xiaoqi and Qian Sanyi had been together in places with few people. Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but take a deep breath. The noise she made attracted Deng Xiaoqi, who looked over.
"What's wrong, Miaomiao?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I just saw a video where someone was tearing off the dead skin on his fingernail and ended up tearing off a large piece of skin. It was a bit scary."

"Hey, stop talking, it hurts already."

Deng Xiaoqi shook her body and chose not to look at Lin Miaomiao's phone.

Lin Miaomiao heaved a sigh of relief and was glad that Wu Xianyu had shown her the video on the subway. It was so impressive.

Meow Meow Doesn't Eat Fish: You observe very carefully. Oh, I don't want to share a room with Deng Xiaoqi anymore. It always feels weird.
Xianyu: You guys are not sleeping in the same bed, it's okay, just be careful not to mix up the things you use

Meow Meow doesn’t eat fish: Yeah, I got it.
Yawning, Lin Miaomiao rubbed her eyes and sent Wu Xianyu a final message.

Meow Meow Doesn't Eat Fish: I'm going to sleep now. I'm tired after playing all day. Good night.

Salted Fish: Good Night

Putting down his phone, Wu Xianyu got off the bed and turned off Jiang Tianhao's phone, which had been playing "Between Rainbows".
"My eyes are still swollen, and you're still listening to those songs. Stop playing them and go to sleep."

Turn off the lights and the room falls into darkness.

In the dark night, Jiang Tianhao opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and suddenly said

"Xianyu, you are lucky. You and Lin Miaomiao are in love with each other."

No sound was heard, and Jiang Tianhao was not surprised. He turned over and closed his eyes.

Although no one saw it, Wu Xianyu couldn't help rolling his eyes. What does this have to do with luck?

. . . . . .

The bus stopped at the entrance of Humble Administrator's Garden. Wu Xianyu looked at Jiang Tianhao beside him.

"How about it, am I right? If the school comes to Gusu, they must come to this place. I guess we will go to Tiger Hill tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, you are awesome, stop talking and get out of the car."

Jiang Tianhao is no longer as gloomy as he was yesterday, and it seems that he has come to his senses.

After getting off the bus with his guitar on his back, Wu Xianyu followed the team into this scenic spot that he had visited countless times. In his previous life, whenever classmates or relatives came to Gusu to play, he would act as a tour guide. He was really tired of it.

The school also arranged a tour guide for each class. Those who are willing to follow the tour guide to learn more can follow, and the school will not force those who don’t want to follow.

Wu Xianyu really had no interest in this attraction, so he simply followed the tour guide, who brought a little bee with him and introduced the attractions to the students following behind him.

"This is Lanxue Hall. Does anyone know how it got its name?"

"I don't know~"

"Then let me give you a hint, Li Bai's "Ode to Farewell to Lu"

"Standing alone in the world, the breeze sprinkles the orchid snow"

The tour guide's eyes lit up when he heard this poem, and he looked at the girl who spoke

"This female student answered it well, it's very good."

Lin Miaomiao accepted the director's compliment awkwardly and touched Wu Xianyu beside her.

"Why should I say that?"

"Because I don't want to be in the spotlight. By the way, the three characters of Lanxuetang are from Su Dongpo, taken from his works."

When Wu Xianyu saw the plaque, he suddenly thought of something and added something to Lin Miaomiao.

Rolling her eyes at Wu Xianyu, Lin Miaomiao didn't want to be in the limelight, especially one gained by cheating.

Following the guide's footsteps, we heard a lot of little knowledge and stories along the way. Lin Miaomiao didn't stop taking pictures. Wu Xianyu took a few glances at the photos taken by Lin Miaomiao and made a suggestion.
"Do you see those windows and hollowed-out areas? Let me tell you a little secret: if you take photos from those places, they will look good no matter how you take them. This is called framing the scenery. This is how ancient people viewed the scenery."

"Really? Let me try."

Keeping suspicious at all times is a habit that Lin Miaomiao developed when facing Wu Xianyu, but this time Wu Xianyu really did not lie to her. Lin Miaomiao stood by a square window and moved the camera over. After taking the picture, Lin Miaomiao herself was a little surprised.

But it’s not over yet. Wu Xianyu took Lin Miaomiao out of the team and came to a pond to teach Lin Miaomiao how to take pictures.
"Come, stand in my position, focus the camera on the pavilion, yes, just like that, look, the water in front of you, the lotus in the distance, the pavilion in the distance, and the Beisi Pagoda in the distance. This is called borrowed scenery. The best borrowed scenery in domestic gardens is here."

In Wu Xianyu's arms, Lin Miaomiao leaned against his chest, hearing the voice in her ears, and only wished time would stop at this moment.
