Chapter 574 Bai Qingxia "Maple Leaf" Lu Yuanqiu
The next day was the day I left school.

After packing his suitcase, Lu Yuanqiu called over the three people from the next dormitory. Leaning against his desk, he said to the four people in front of him, "Everyone... mainly Liang Jingfeng and you, senior, this summer you two may need to go to Lucheng. We need to rehearse face-to-face."

Liang Jingfeng couldn't help but complain, "Why should we go to Lucheng... Why can't you stay in Zhucheng?"

Lu Yuanqiu paused, then pointed at Zheng Yifeng and Zhong Jincheng, and said to Liang Jingfeng directly, "Because the three of us are from Lucheng."

Liang Jingfeng and Finger were taken aback. Liang Jingfeng's eyes widened slightly: "No wonder the three of you are always hanging out together."

"Wait, wait..." Fingel suddenly raised his hand, his eyes slightly narrowed as he recalled, "Why do I remember Lu Yuanqiu saying during military training last semester that you and Bai Qingxia went to the same high school? And that Bai Qingxia is also from Lucheng?"

Lu Yuanqiu exchanged glances with Zheng Yifeng and Zhong Jincheng before asking, "The four of us went to the same high school, didn't I say that?"

“I bet you never said that.” Liang Jingfeng said, his neck stiff and his expression serious.

Lu Yuanqiu pressed down on the corners of his mouth. He hadn't said it before, but he still replied in a serious tone: "Ah, I guess I forgot to mention it. The four of us agreed to go to the same university and choose the same major. There are two classes in clinical medicine, so we ended up in the same class."

The Taoist priest sitting on the suitcase nodded silently: "The student ID numbers are even linked together."

"Hey, I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out. It's quite a coincidence, isn't it? No wonder you're a Taoist priest, your observation skills are so sharp." Lu Yuanqiu sighed and gave Li Siyang a thumbs up.

The Taoist priest smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, and clasped his hands in response, "Not at all, not at all."

Zheng Yifeng added: "The reason why the student ID numbers are connected is because we in Lucheng all take the National College Entrance Examination Paper I. You can see that the student ID numbers of those who take the National College Entrance Examination Paper II, Paper III, and those from provinces that set their own exams are also connected."

“Ah…that makes sense, since Wei Zhiyu and I have the same student ID number.” Liang Jingfeng murmured.

Lu Yuanqiu gave Zheng Yifeng a high five from behind. He truly deserved to be called the top-notch support player.

The cleaning uncle turned around and noticed the blind spot: "So the four of you already knew Teacher Su?"

Just as Lu Yuanqiu was about to respond, Liang Jingfeng suddenly roared and forcefully locked the man in his arms: "Fine! You all knew about Zheng Yifeng and Teacher Su all along, but you kept quiet, didn't you?!"

"Damn it, can we get back to the main topic?!"

One minute later.

Liang Jingfeng lowered his eyebrows and compromised, saying, "...Then when are we going to Lucheng?"

"July 15th, I think. I've been trying to find someone to compose music for the lyrics for the past two weeks."

"Can you find someone?"

"It's not a big problem. If it really doesn't work, we can let Zheng Yifeng do it. He learns things incredibly fast." Lu Yuanqiu smiled and patted Zheng Yifeng on the shoulder.

Zheng Yifeng: "..."

The dormitory meeting ended, and it was almost time for the high-speed train to depart.

Lu Yuanqiu looked at the wooden bowl on the bookshelf, turned it around so that the side with the name and maple leaf faced him.

Bai Qingxia's hand-carved marks couldn't compare to those of a machine, but Lu Yuanqiu could still see the serious expression on her face as she carved through the somewhat irregular characters. Bai Qingxia, "Maple Leaf," Lu Yuanqiu.

The maple leaves here are hard not to feel a sense of love.

Lu Yuanqiu didn't think so at first, but upon closer reflection, the fact that the two names were engraved together and connected by a symbol meant something else entirely. Lu Yuanqiu didn't believe that the "maple leaf" represented "gift".

Moreover, he knew that Bai Qingxia had always been a very reserved girl in her speech, whether it was about friendship, family, or love.

In terms of friendship, she would never admit how good her friendship was with Zheng Yifeng, Zhong Jincheng, or even Liu Wangchun, but she would interpret this friendship by silently caring for her friends, such as never charging Zheng and Zhong for noodles, and showing "motherly" thoughtfulness when getting along with her best friend Liu Wangchun.

In terms of "love," Lu Yuanqiu had never easily heard the words "like" and "love" from Bai Qingxia's mouth, and he guessed that it would be the same even after they got together. But precisely because of this, every indirect expression of her feelings could make Lu Yuanqiu's heart flutter.

Because Lu Yuanqiu knew that even expressing her feelings indirectly was a kind of courage for her.

If one day Bai Qingxia were to utter the word "love" directly, there would only be two possibilities.

First: This Bai Qingxia is an imposter.

Second: She broke free from the shackles of her personality and habits; the love in her heart had erupted like a volcano, overcoming everything and becoming uncontrollable.

Like many Chinese parents who are not good at expressing their love verbally, Bai Qingxia is the most traditional girl Lu Yuanqiu has ever met. She is like a young lady from an ancient family who has traveled from ancient times. She is gentle and a bit old-fashioned. She is not good at speaking and her emotions are never expressed passionately. Instead, she silently nourishes everyone she cares about like a gentle stream.

Such a pure girl is rare. Lu Yuanqiu felt more than once that she was not suited to live in the modern world, a chaotic and corrupt place.

Seeing Lu Yuanqiu stroking the engravings on the bowl in a daze, the uncle came over to take a look: "Bowl number 001, that string of names was hand-carved by Xia, right... It's a little asymmetrical, your name should be moved up a bit."

“It’s alright… Uncle, don’t forget you have OCD.” Lu Yuanqiu turned to look at him.

"Hey, whatever you like is fine. If Xia's shop becomes a big hit in the future, this bowl of yours will be worth a lot of money... No, it's probably already worth a lot of money at school. I see those students wanting to buy thirty servings of noodles a day, just to quickly exchange for a bowl with a higher serial number."

"Hehe, I'm not selling."

Lu Yuanqiu responded with a smile, locked the wooden bowl in the cabinet, glanced at his watch, and said to the three people in the dormitory, "See you all, see you in sophomore year."

"Bye-Bye."

"Bye-bye, drive carefully."

There were still only four people on the high-speed train back.

“My senior originally wanted to go back with me, but I didn’t let her come,” Zhong Jincheng, who was sitting in the front row, said.

"Why?" Lu Yuanqiu asked, resting his elbows on the small table.

Zhong Jincheng clicked his tongue and said, "Well, it's not very convenient. She only has one relative in Lucheng, but she's a bit distant from that relative's family. I don't want her to stay in a hotel, since I can't be with her every moment. I also don't want her to stay at my house, because my dad's appearance might leave her with a bad impression."

"A model boyfriend." Lu Yuanqiu smiled, then asked, "When school starts, your senior will have to do an internship, right? Then you two won't be able to see each other often, will you?"
