Chapter 106: Suspicion

There were only about ten people in total, but Qiao Lan and Luo Man were the only two people admitted to the hostel.

Luo Man covered his heart and said, "I didn't play well that day, I was afraid I wouldn't pass, but I never thought I would.

Liu Cancan was already in a bad mood, and Luo Man kept on talking about it, so Liu Cancan disliked him, "You've passed, so you've passed.

"What's it to you if I say mine? The seniors reminded me to prepare properly before, so what's wrong with me returning the favour?" Luo Man glared, "Why are you taking it out on us if you didn't get selected?"

"The senior even reminded Qiao Lan, why didn't Qiao Lan send a message to Ji Su?"

Qiao Lan: ......

What's the point of bringing her into it again for no good reason.

Qiao Lan, because of Tan Mo, does not usually go out with his flatmates except for classes and bedtime at night.

It's a little cooler outside and Qiao Lan doesn't really want to go outside to make a phone call, but it's noisy in the dorm, so she puts on her headphones and sends Tan Mo a text message.

Qiao Lan asked Tan Mo what she was doing and Tan Mo sent her a picture of a book, The World's Greatest Traders.

[Tan Mo didn't ask her why she was suddenly text chatting, and was very cooperative in talking to her, except for a few seconds after hearing Qiao Lan say she had passed the interview for the psychology club before writing back.

Tan Mo looked at the two words he had typed [congratulations] with a blank face, and finally deleted them to replace them with a slightly nicer tone.

[great]

Although he didn't want to congratulate Qiao Lan at all, and worse, he even wished Qiao Lan hadn't passed the interview, Qiao Lan did, because she was so good.

But he had already told Qiao Lan that he didn't care, and now he was putting on an unhappy face for no one to see.

Qiao Lan was in a good mood after passing the interview and he didn't need to upset Qiao Lan, after all, he had to be the perfect boyfriend every minute of every day so that he wouldn't upset her and make her dislike him in order to stay with him forever.

Compared to Qiao Lan's liking, his own mood is not really that important.

Tan Mo didn't notice that the books had been crumpled by him and, controlling his irritation, asked her as naturally as he could if there were any other people in the dormitory who had also chosen to go in.

Qiao Lan Reply, [one more]

Tan Mo felt a little better about himself.

If it was a voice chat or a video, Qiao Lan might have been able to tell something from Tan Mo's tone of voice and face, but now it's just text.

Tan Mo's tone was normal, not upset or odd, like the most normal of conversations, and once again, Qiao Lan didn't notice.

October 19th is Tan Mo's 18th birthday, which is very close, next week, on Sunday.

It was a holiday weekend and Qiao Lan felt that she couldn't stay in the study room as usual, so she had to go out on such a meaningful day.

Two days ago Qiao Lan was trying to plan ahead what to do for Tan Mo's birthday, either by finding something local to eat or going to the movies ......

After thinking about it for a long time, Qiao Lan was depressed by her lack of relationship experience.

Qiao Lan wrote it all down in a memo for future reference.

Qiao Lan screenshotted the memo and sent it to Tan Mo, who didn't respond at first and asked her what it was.

[Date plan, I checked it out on purpose], Qiao Lan said, [ MoMo , let's go out on your birthday!]

Tan Mo stares at this screenshot of his phone with a slight sweetness in his heart.

Qiao Lan took careful notes and must have picked them out after reading a lot, all the places he hadn't been to and places they hadn't been together.

Qiao Lan said they could plan a perfect birthday itinerary together, with a trip to the Oceanarium in the morning, a movie and a cup of tea in the afternoon, and a trip to the House of Horrors in the evening.

Qiao Lan is actually excited to talk about the House of Horrors.

Tan Mo's smile unconsciously spilled out of her lips, the unhappiness she had just felt washed away by Qiao Lan's intentions.

Maybe he was overthinking it, after all, Qiao Lan was not the only one who joined the club, and Peking University is very busy with studies, so there should not be many club activities.

In his ear, Xie Hongyi gave a cheerful shout that he had received a notification from the society that he had passed and bounced around the dormitory several times with joy, while Kong Sha next to him was looking unimpressed.

He and Xie Hongyi joined the same club, and if it wasn't for Xie Hongyi, he would never have joined this club.

Xie Hongyi is enrolled in a club called the Zen Society.

Xie Hongyi said she was fed up with watching her housemates fall in love every day, so she wanted to sign up for a Zen study club to calm her mind.

Who would have thought it really gave through.

Xie Hongyi was happier than Kong Sha's lividity, and said with great enthusiasm that their club was particularly active and had already set up a dinner party for this week.

Potluck?

Tan Mo froze.

He hadn't attended any of these and didn't know the flow of club activities, but now he realised that some of the club activities were actually not at school.

Wouldn't Qiao Lan's psychological society have so much shit too?

Before Tan Mo could ask Qiao Lan, Qiao Lan had actually received the news.

Luo Man asked her to look at the latest club discussion groups, and when Qiao Lan opened them, she saw that the newest group had 99+ messages and had @ herself.

Qiao Lan opened the group chat and found that they were chatting happily, and when she scrolled up, it wasn't just @ her, but @ the whole group, as new members join the club, and every day we have a meal together to welcome newcomers, so we take this opportunity to really get to know each other.

The booking is for 6.30pm on the 18th of October.

Eighteen?

Qiao Lan's mood, which had been quite enthusiastic, dropped by 80 per cent in an instant.

Because Tan Mo's birthday is on the 19th.

Although it wasn't the same day, Qiao Lan instinctively had the idea of leaving the day or so for Tan Mo, not realising that the dinner was booked the day before Tan Mo's birthday.

The group leader is now the Vice President of the Psychology Club, and after @ the whole group asked if everyone had time and deducted a 1 if they had time.

Qiao Lan flipped through the chat log from top to bottom, a smooth 1, as the 18th of October happened to be a Saturday and generally everyone was available, not to mention after late afternoon.

It's a bit unreasonable not to go to your first group event, but it's even more unreasonable to ask people to reschedule because of yourself.

Qiao Lan hesitated for a moment before clicking on her sister's private chat, asking her when the dinner would be and what time it would probably be over.

The schoolmistress replied quite quickly, [Everyone is just having a meal, it won't be too late, you can definitely go back to the hostel at ten].

Ten O'Clock ......

Qiao Lan wanted to say that it was still a bit late, but she was the only one left on the panel to give an answer, so Qiao Lan agreed after a few moments of silence.

After I replied to her, I told Tan Mo that I was going to attend a club activity next Saturday, but Tan Mo didn't reply for a long time.

Tan Mo didn't really know what to say back, and really, didn't want to say a word back.

I was not in a good mood, and it was so easy to think that the two of them could be together on their birthday without interruptions, only to turn around and get such news again.

He was going to say that he couldn't play anything in one day on Sunday, or he would go out on Saturday.

There's no need to talk about it now either.

Tan Mo was not impressed with this psychological club from the beginning, perhaps because of Ji Su, and now she is only bored.

Disgust at everything that disturbs him is mixed with an anger that cannot be ignored.

He was really angry, even at Qiao Lan.

But on second thought, what did Qiao Lan do wrong?

It's the 18th not the 19th, it's just a meal, everyone goes to Qiao Lan, there's no reason not to go, it's all normal.

Yes, it's normal.

Tan Mo repeated it over and over again in his mind, as if he was brainwashing himself, and by the end of the repetition he would have believed it if his heart hadn't still been in pain.

If all this is normal then why is he angry and why is it hard?

So in the end, does it mean that he is still the most abnormal?

Not wanting Qiao Lan to be exposed to other people, not wanting any traces of Qiao Lan's life other than his own, all the time for himself only, for Qiao Lan to see only him and only him.

Such thoughts.

In itself, it is very abnormal.
