Chapter 108 Travel Invitations
As National Day was coming, many working people and students were looking forward to it.
In the past, during holidays, Ling Tianyi always worked overtime. However, it was different now. Ling Tianyi did not make work plans for himself, but made a plan of having a baby. In fact, He mainly expected the happy process of having a baby.
Xia Xiaoluo went to school, but she did not have class. Instead she went to her dormitory to see Luo Xixi. “Xia Xiaoluo! Where have you been these days? It has been a long time since I saw you last time. It is so easy for you to study. You ask for leaves frequently.”
“Xixi, don’t you really fall in love with me? I just stayed at home for a few days. Do you miss me?” Although Xia Xiaoluo promised to Ling Tianyi that she would never play the game of pretending as a lesbian, she couldn’t help making fun of Luo Xixi when she saw her.
“Humph.” Luo Xixi took a scornful glance at her.
“I’ve received several invitations for you when you are off. Here you are!” Luo Xixi took out a dozen of invitations from her schoolbag.
“Ah? Why do you have so many invitations?” Asked Xia Xiaoluo suspiciously.
“Don’t you know? National Day is the traditional tourism season in Dwichen’s College!” Luo Xixi said calmly, continuing to operate her computer.
“Tourism season?” Xia Xiaoluo was puzzled.
“Dwichen’s College has an unwritten tradition that students spontaneously organize trips during National Day holidays every year. Some are classes, some are clubs, and some are friends. In a word, almost 90% of the students in Dwichen’s College will travel on National Day holiday every year.” Luo Xixi explained to Xia Xiaoluo while playing her computer.
“Then all these invitations are inviting me to travel?” Asked Xia Xiaoluo.
“Or what? Wedding invitations?” Luo Xixi said like a tough girl.
“Hah!” Xia Xiaoluo giggled, beginning to check the invitations one by one. There were a 5-day tour to Maldives organized by the monitor and several class committees; a romantic tour to France organized by some senior students of Arts; an Austrian music tour organized by FLY Dance Club, and a basketball tour organized by Fang Ruichen to watch basketball matches in the United States. In addition, there were many invitations from clubs and people Xia Xiaoluo did not know at all. They invited Xia Xiaoluo to Korea, Hong Kong, Spain, Dubai and so on.
“Xixi, where are you going?” Asked Xia Xiaoluo.
“Without going outside, the scholar knows everything in the world!” Luo Xixi said proudly, “A mouse in hand, a travel in mind.”
“Xixi, you mean you’re not going traveling?” Asked Xia Xiaoluo.
“Congratulations, you are right.” Luo Xixi was addicted to surfing the Internet. She would not go out if she had seven days off because she could surf the Internet freely.
“It’s seven days off! Will you regret?” Xia Xiaoluo asked again.
“It will be a pity if I go out to play, wasting my precious online time!” Luo Xixi said firmly, “By the way, Xiaoluo, you have received so many invitations. Where are you going?”
Xia Xiaoluo looked at the invitation over again. “I haven’t thought about it yet, but I’m sure I’ll go for a trip. I like to go out and play!”
“Xixi, you are well-read. Can you give me some advice? I’d like to listen to your advice.” Xia Xiaoluo came close to Luo Xixi.
Luo Xixi thought about it and said: “There are three things you need to pay attention to. First, go somewhere that the people you dislike won’t go. Second, National Day is an important holiday in China. There will be a lot of tourists at home and abroad so you should consider somewhere far away without so many people. Therefore, I don’t recommend you to choose the countries in Asia. Third, you’d better choose English-speaking countries or follow the students who can speak the local language fluently. Considering all the above, you don’t have many choices in your invitations.”
“Xixi, you are so smart. How to say that? Um…” Xia Xiaoluo admired Luo Xixi, but she could not find a suitable idiom to describe her. Luo Xixi said: “Think carefully!”
“Yes, yes! That’s it. Think carefully. Xixi, you are so smart and considerate.” As she was speaking, she began to check the invitations quickly.
“There are so many invitations!” Xia Xiaoluo said to herself.
“You become famous after your performance and become the new campus belle in Dwichen’s College so those self-confident groups all send you an invitation. If they can travel with you, it is worth of showing off.” Luo Xixi said calmly, but Xia Xiaoluo was confused.
“What do you mean, Xixi? Famous for dancing? The campus belle? Are you kidding?” Asked Xia Xiaoluo uncertainly. Although it was not a bad thing, in her mind, Ling Tianyi did not like such a high-profile thing.
“Check the BBS. There are many pictures of your dancing that day. I’ve already sent you an e-mail, but I guess you haven’t seen it.” Said Luo Xixi. Then she opened the BBS and clicked on the photos for Xia Xiaoluo.”
“I can’t believe I am so beautiful!” Said Xia Xiaoluo narcissistically.
“Ugh!” Luo Xixi vomited at Xia Xiaoluo’s narcissism and made noises deliberately.
“Okay, Beauty Xia, go to check your invitations! If you want to see the photos, you can go home and check your QQ Mail. Now I’m going to write a program. I have no time to see the BBS with you.” Luo Xixi closed the BBS page. Xia Xiaoluo wanted to see more, but she did not force Luo Xixi.
“Okay, I’ll think about where to go! Xixi, I’ll bring you some presents.” Xia Xiaoluo said with a grin.
“No, I’m not interested in anything but computers!” Luo Xixi immediately refused her enthusiasm.
Xia Xiaoluo shrugged her shoulders. She knew Luo Xixi’s character. Although she spoke a little directly sometimes, she was a good person who helped her a lot. Anyway, whether Luo Xixi liked it or not, she would surely bring presents to Luo Xixi when she traveled. Of course, the same to Dou Ya, her best friend.
Now, Xia Xiaoluo was completely absorbed in the tour plan, completely forgetting what Ling Tianyi once said: National Day was a good opportunity to have a baby.
When Xia Xiaoluo was checking the invitations excitedly, Ling Tianyi called her. “Hello! What’s the matter?” Asked Xia Xiaoluo in a low voice.
Ling Tianyi was a little upset because Xiaoluo did not call him ‘Darling’. But he soon understood that there must be someone around her so it was inconvenient for her to call him ‘Darling’.
“I’ll pick you up at the school gate in ten minutes.” Ling Tianyi was driving on the way. Thinking of seeing his darling soon, he felt very happy.
“Okay, I’ll meet you right now!” Xia Xiaoluo looked at her watch. It was almost noon. She had no class this afternoon and she didn’t want to go dancing because of her menstruation. Instead she could go home with Ling Tianyi. He couldn’t make love to her during this special time.
Xia Xiaoluo said goodbye to Luo Xixi, carrying her large schoolbag. She ran to the school gate. Ling Tianyi did not arrive, so Xia Xiaoluo began to check those travel invitations again.
“Where did you go these days, Xia Xiaoluo? I can’t get in touch with you. I thought you are lost.” Fang Ruichen carried a large schoolbag and went to Xia Xiaoluo with a basketball.
“It’s none of your business! Go away! Don’t stand in front of me.” Xia Xiaoluo said unhappily. She wanted to drive Fang Ruichen away quickly. Ling Tianyi was coming. If he saw her talking with Fang Ruichen again, he would be angry.
Fang Ruichen was unhappy suddenly. After the dance that day, Xia Xiaoluo didn’t come to school anymore. He has been looking for Xia Xiaoluo for several days. He wanted to give Xia Xiaoluo the invitation to watch the basketball match in the United States personally, but he couldn’t find her. Finally, he had to give it to Luo Xixi and asked her to give it to Xia Xiaoluo when she returned her dormitory.
Fang Ruichen bought a hot dog at the school gate just now when seeing Xia Xiaoluo standing there with many invitations. He was happy to invite her sincerely, but Xia Xiaoluo was so indifferent and let him go away directly. He did not allow other people to refuse him like this.
“Xia Xiaoluo, are you crazy? Why do you get angry?” Fang Ruichen refused to leave, instead he argued with Xia Xiaoluo this time. Although it was time to play basketball, he wanted to know why Xia Xiaoluo treated him like this.
“Well, I’m in a bad mood today. Don’t bother me, will you?” Said Xia Xiaoluo. She only had one idea at the moment— Let Fang Ruichen leave quickly.
Unfortunately, Fang Ruichen did not leave, and Ouyang Ziqian came towards her far away.
“Xiaoluo, long time no see and nice to meet you here!” Ouyang Ziqian was still elegant and polite, with good image and temperament.
“Hello, Ouyang senior.” Xia Xiaoluo was speechless. The two men that Ling Tianyi hated most were both here, which drove her crazy.
“Xiaoluo, National Day is the tourism season in Dwichen’s College. FLY decides to go to Austria to enjoy a wonderful trip of music. I couldn’t find you these days, so I gave the invitation to Luo Xixi to hand it over. She has already given it to you, hasn’t she?” Ouyang Ziqian said modestly, in a gentle voice.
“The invitation was here, but Xiaoluo will not go with you. She will go with me to watch the basketball match in the United States.” Said Fang Ruichen predominantly.
Xia Xiaoluo wanted to curse him. She didn’t say that she would go to watch the basketball match with him! Fang Ruichen was talking nonsense here again. However, before Xia Xiaoluo could explain, Ling Tianyi stood behind them and stared at Xia Xiaoluo with angry eyes. It seemed that the volcano was about to erupt.
