I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 021

Standing in front of the gate of FD University, one could see a towering bronze statue inside the campus at a glance.

During the summer vacation, FD University could be visited at any time during the day.

The security guard in the gatehouse merely glanced at the two of them and waved them through.

Walking into the campus, Yan Xiaoman’s eyes were filled with curiosity, and she smiled, “The next four years will be spent here.”

Lin Xian asked, “Where are we going now?”

“I’ve already planned ahead. We’ll go to the Little White House first, then experience the Guanghua Demonic Wind at Guanghua Tower, and then stroll around Yan Garden…”

Yan Xiaoman looked serious, puffed out her cheeks, and counted on her fingers, outlining the day’s itinerary. She was incredibly cute.

Lin Xian couldn’t resist for a moment and leaned in to peck her smooth face.

“Ah!”

Caught by surprise, Yan Xiaoman let out a soft cry, and her pretty face instantly flushed red, like a startled fawn.

Quickly glancing around, she saw a few people scattered on the nearby lawn and chairs, making Yan Xiaoman’s face even redder.

“It’s over, they definitely saw us!” Yan Xiaoman covered her face, shyly.

Lin Xian put his arm around her shoulder and chuckled, “So what if they saw us? Aren’t little couples allowed to express their feelings?”

“Hmph! Bullying me again!”

Yan Xiaoman gave an arrogant snort, then extended her small hand and gently pinched his waist.

After some playful teasing, the two became even closer.

FD University truly lived up to its reputation as a prestigious school; its academic atmosphere was indeed excellent. Even though it was summer vacation, there were still groups of students visible in the school. These students were either quietly reading on the lawn or hurrying with piles of materials, appearing exceptionally busy.

The morning temperature was still relatively cool, and the two walked hand in hand through the campus.

The first stop was the Little White House, but it wasn’t open to visitors, so they just walked around outside before heading to the next location.

Guanghua Tower was considered the most distinctive building at FD University.

The entire building stood at 142 meters tall, and its unique architectural design created strong air convection nearby. Throughout spring, summer, autumn, and winter, one could personally experience the powerful winds, thus earning it the nickname “Guanghua Demonic Wind” among FD students.

As the two arrived in front of Guanghua Tower, they immediately felt a strong gust of wind.

“The wind is really strong, it’s amazing!” Yan Xiaoman exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s truly impressive!”

Lin Xian also couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, respecting the designer of Guanghua Tower.

At this point, as time passed, the temperature also began to gradually rise.

There was a central lawn in front of Guanghua Tower, and Lin Xian chuckled, “Let’s sit on the lawn for a bit.”

Yan Xiaoman nodded. After walking for half a circle, she was a bit tired too.

There were quite a few students on the central lawn, partly because there were more trees providing shade, and also because the lawn was directly in front of Guanghua Tower, allowing them to enjoy the coolness brought by the Guanghua Demonic Wind.

Finding a shaded spot, Lin Xian comfortably lay on the grass, hands clasped behind his head, and slightly turned his head to admire Yan Xiaoman’s profile.

“Why are you staring at me?” Yan Xiaoman felt a bit embarrassed by his gaze and pretended to look fierce.

Lin Xian lazily replied, “Can’t I admire my girlfriend?”

“Big pervert!”

Yan Xiaoman seemed to think of something, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

Not far away, a boy sat alone under the shade of a tree, holding a guitar, with a music score on the grass in front of him.

This guy seemed to be a beginner; his guitar playing was intermittent, and Lin Xian could hear several issues.

Envy flashed in Yan Xiaoman’s eyes, and she then asked, “Lin Xian, can you play the guitar?”

“I can! But my skill level isn’t very high.”

Lin Xian had learned guitar for two years, but that was during junior high. At that time, he had no particular goal for learning guitar; he simply thought it was cool.

Later, after entering high school, due to increased academic pressure and his obsession with LOL, he rarely practiced guitar.

Only occasionally, in his spare time, would he take it out and play to maintain his feel.

“I want to hear you play the guitar!” Yan Xiaoman said in a slightly coquettish tone.

“No problem, I’ll play for you when we go back to Jiangzhen City,” Lin Xian promised.

“Wait for me!”

Yan Xiaoman gritted her teeth, then suddenly stood up and quickly walked towards the boy in front.

Not long after, Lin Xian saw Yan Xiaoman running back with a guitar in her arms.

Seeing this, he was a bit surprised, then couldn’t help but sigh slightly.

A girl’s heart is always poetic.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he liked her!

“Lin Xian, Lin Xian, I borrowed the guitar!” Yan Xiaoman said happily.

Lin Xian sat up, took the guitar, then dotingly ruffled her hair and asked, “What song do you want to hear?”

“Any song you play is fine.”

Yan Xiaoman rested her chin on her hands, blinking her large eyes. Specks of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches, falling on her, making her as beautiful as a painting.

Strumming the strings a few times, Lin Xian habitually tuned the guitar by ear.

Soon, he found the feeling of playing the guitar again.

The mysterious cassette he bought from the system store not only contained beautiful songs, but more importantly, if he wished, the sheet music for that song would clearly appear in his mind.

Following the melody in his mind, Lin Xian sang and played.

“Every morning at half past seven, I wake up naturally.

The wind chimes ring, another day the clouds are light.

The scent of dried clothes is comforting.

Everything is soft and tranquil.

At every intersection, flowers bloom in the sunlight.

A beautiful love song comes from the small shop’s entrance.

It doesn’t take long to reach the destination.

The bustling crowd is full of kindness.

This is the most ordinary day.

Do you miss it too?

Not rushing, slowly walking home.

Just wasting time like this, without worries.

Only the evening breeze gently brushes my cheeks…”

Upon first listen, this song might not seem astonishing. Instead, it was like a gentle stream, unhurried, gradually permeating the soul.

It was also like a fragrant tea, the more you tasted, the more flavorful it became.

Lin Xian had not studied singing, so there were inevitably many flaws in his performance.

However, he poured emotion into it. A song with emotion was like being infused with a soul. The flaws caused by vocal technique were all buried within the emotion.

“Clap, clap, clap!”

After the song finished, applause suddenly erupted from around them.

Lin Xian then realized that at some point, seven or eight people had gathered under the shade of the tree beside him.

These people, both men and women, spontaneously applauded.

A short-haired guy gave a thumbs-up and praised, “Brother, that was awesome!”

“Big shot, you look unfamiliar, what’s your major?”

“Student, are you interested in joining our guitar club?” A long-haired girl stared at him intently, inviting him.
