Qing Kai Chapter 38

Jiang Ling had thought about several kinds of opening remarks.

But the facts have proved that courage is the most turbulent thing when you stay in bed and make up for your time.

At the critical moment, when the wind blew, her courage disappeared. She couldn't say a word.

Fortunately, Lin Qing Kai didn't ask her anything, only saying, "Wait for me."

Jiang Ling lay there quietly, listening to his steady breathing.

The moon was fine. The whole dormitory building on the opposite side was dimmed with lights, and moonlight fell on every sunken balcony.

She watched.

There were footsteps on the other end, the earphone cord rubbed against the clothes, and finally, the balcony door was closed.

"A few roommates are talking nonsense," Lin Qing Kai tore off the earphones, and his voice reverberated, "I just saw your WeChat." He said this in a calm and casual tone.

Like talking with a friend, or, like with a girlfriend.

Jiang Ling likes this kind of indistinct intimacy the most. She thought for a while, and followed his topic: "What are you talking about?"

Lin Qingkai smiled, somewhat inexplicably, "Guy things?"

"Huh?" Jiang Ling didn't immediately understand.

There was silence. Then there was a sound, she could already tell it was a lighter.

He lit a cigarette. "You don't understand?"

Jiang Ling said yes.

Lin Qing Kai's voice lowered, "Talk about how to make you more comfortable."

"What..." Jiang Ling's face was hot.

She has heard that night chats in male dormitories tend to be rather perverted. She also understands that he will not say anything to people casually, which is a general topic.

But as soon as these words came out, she was cut from the girl's heart to the channel that was not suitable for children.

She pressed her index finger down the railing. "What does it have to do with me..."

Lin Qing Kai was lazily answering on the other side, "Who does it have to do with?"

How should I know?

Jiang Ling's eager thinking seemed to be resurrected. She whispered: "Your phone rang in the morning." 

It was about the girl who sent him a message when she came out of the cafeteria.

She didn't know what she was thinking, she knew he didn't reply, and she didn't know why she had to mention it again.

After mentioning it, her heart was empty.

But Lin Qing Kai laughed. "What?" He said softly, as if there was a little bit of indulgence, "You're starting to be jealous now?"

"Why?" She retorted. She also felt that there was a vague meaning in his words.

Without being able to think about it, Lin Qing Kai answered when someone called his name over there in his dormitory.

Jiang Ling is very well-behaved: "Then I will go to bed first." 

"Okay."

He took off the phone and licked his lips.

He slowly drew out the remaining cigarette before entering the room: "What's wrong?"

"Look at this!" The roommates were watching a video on a mobile phone and shouting back at him: "Big breasts, thin waist, and tender voice. Here, is this wave of swaying, great?"

Lin Qing Kai glanced at the white female body on the screen, "It's okay."

There was little interest.

Jiang Ling climbed back to the bed and turned on the small lamp.

Although he didn't ask a word about what she wanted to ask, he didn't ignore her when he saw her message and he called instead.

This seems to be the first relatively normal phone call since the two met. There was no purpose in getting into bed, just a few words.

"Is it Lin Qing Kai?" Her tablemate held her pen cap against her chin and smirked, "You two can develop at a fast speed, and you have already reached the level of a good night call before going to bed."

What a bad good night call...

Jiang Ling silently slandered: The development is even faster and it might scare you to death.

The next day was the weekend again.

On his birthday, the class monitor called some classmates to sing at a karaoke bar.

After the love letter incident, the two can be said that they were not far apart and that they were not close, they were just normal classmates. This time, basically two-thirds of the people in the class have to go. Jiang Ling was no longer frustrated, she was invited, and she mixed in the crowd and went to KTV.

Seven o'clock in the evening. There are still quite a few people waiting to set up private rooms.

A group of people clamored to one side, waiting for the class monitor to check the reservation information.

In about five minutes, the store door was opened again. Several boys came in one after the other.

Jiang Ling turned to look and found that the two in front were slightly familiar, as if they were those who had eaten together with her last time.

After all eyes were turned away, the last one was indeed Lin Qing Kai.

She stood sideways with her tablemate, and a few classmates were half in front of her.

He didn't see her.

After coming in unhurriedly, he slouched and stood aside.

The two were far apart, and there were several groups of people in between. Several classmates also noticed him, looked at him a few more times, and then glanced at Jiang Ling again.

After Jiang Ling hesitated, she didn't step up to say hello.

Before school, he sent a message. She didn't think anything was wrong, so she didn't ask much but she ran into him here.

Soon, the class monitor shouted and left together. Jiang Ling followed at the end of the crowd and went to take the elevator.

She can't wait for another more batch of people waiting for the elevator.

The space was much looser this last time. After entering, a few people came in according to the floor, talking and laughing.

Lin Qing Kai and his friends.

"Hey, Jiang Ling!" It was his friend again, "It's such a coincidence."

Jiang Ling smiled. She had already noticed them.

There are a few more boys, and the space is suddenly constricted.

The elevator doors closed. Two groups of people talked about their own things, and they were all very lively.

Except for Jiang Ling.

She stood next to the wall, and Lin Qing Kai was leaning against her, facing her, a little closer.

She lowered her eyes, and she could smell the light scent on his cotton short sleeves, mixed with his body temperature.

She was always a little embarrassed when she faced him in front of people. Thinking of the phone call last night, she didn't know what to say. Her eyes fluttered a little, and she refused to look at his face.

Lin Qing Kai looked at her like this and smiled faintly.

"This is your business?" he asked.

There was a slight tremor in his chest.

Jiang Ling nodded, "Classmate has his birthday today."

"Which classmate?" The question was rather casual.

"Our monitor."

Lin Qing Kai gave her a smile.

Since there were classmates around him, it was not easy to explain directly. It was vague but there was heat on the left side of her waist. It was his palm. The fingertips are hot and a bit dry. There was no movement, just holding the place on her waistline, holding it around.

Her breathing slowed down.

The two were already standing close, and the others were busy with each other, but no one noticed them.

However, when Jiang Ling was touched by him, she would have so many reactions.

She bit her lip and pushed him quietly. Lin Qing Kai chuckled and didn't let go.

Jiang Ling did it herself.

She gently broke his fingers from her waist one by one.

Lin Qing Kai was quite cooperative. She hooked his fingertips and he let her pick it up. Then hold her back.

This happened back and forth several times, the meaning is quietly different.

Every time the fingers touched each other, it was ambiguous. His knuckles, palm, and slight bones all became clear in touch this touch.

Jiang Ling's ears and heart were soft.

She shook his hand this way for the first time.
