I Want to Waste Away Time With You: Chapter 55

Lu Yu looked to be gentle as ever as if the dinner a couple of days ago didn’t have any effect on him. He stood next to Lu Wei Xi and smiled like a spring breeze, “Wei Xi, are you free this afternoon? The Student Union plans to have a cultural performance next month so I want to discuss with you some specific matters.”

His tone was very candid like he only wanted to talk business. Also, as luck would have it, Lu Wei Xi is the head of the Arts and Culture in the Student Union as well so no matter what she thought, she had no reason to reject him.

She bit her lips mulling over in her brain an excuse to reject him. Cheng Si Ran who sat across from her suddenly spoke up, “Xi Xi and I made plans this afternoon.”

This sentence came out of nowhere making all the student present stunned, including Lu Yu.

“Then….all right. We’ll talk next time.” Lu Yu reluctantly maintained his smile and nodded before turning around and left.

Only when his figure got further away did Lu Wei Xi returned back to her senses.

What did Cheng Si Ran say? Doesn’t she usually go along with Lu Yu all the time? Why did she make up an excuse to help her avoid that person?

Xia Nuan and Mu Ran Ran were also at a loss. Cheng Si Ran lowered her head and took a bite of her braised pork ribs. Looking slightly uncomfortable, she said, “Why are you all looking at me like that? Xi Xi already has a boyfriend, even if I don’t support it, I won’t force her to two-time.”

In the silent atmosphere, My Ran Ran finally lets a sigh of relief, “Queen, you have finally figured it out.”

Xia Nuan put the last spoonful of fried rice in her mouth and chewed as she agreed, “It really is worthy of celebration. I felt like I could suffocate to death this past couple of days due to the low pressure emitted by you two.”

Cheng Si Ran ran her hand through her hair still not feeling rest assured, “But Xi Xi, falling in love and falling in love again. Don’t be taken advantage of by him, you must make sure to protect yourself.”

“I shall obey your command, my queen.” Lu Wei Xi looked at her and couldn’t help but shriek.

Just like this, Lu Wei Xi and Cheng Si Ran made up.

After lunch, the group went back to class. Lu Wei Xi and Mu Ran Ran had the same history elective course in the afternoon so after class, they both went back to the dorm without doing anything.

Cheng Si Ran and Xia Nuan’s classes haven’t ended yet so there is no one in the dorm room at the moment. As always, after Mu Ran Ran came back, she immediately threw her bag aside and open up “Abandoned OL.” Lu Wei Xi stood to the side and silently mused, Mu Ran Ran really is amazing to play games every single day.

While still in a trance, her phone suddenly rang. She picked up the call and realized that it is from her mother empress.

As soon as she picked up the phone, Mama Lu followed the formality and asked her about her schoolwork and like. Then the conversation geared toward the topic most elderlies like to take about. “Sweetie, have you met any compatible boys recently? You just celebrated your 23rd birthday, it’s time to start dating.”

Lu Wei Xi unconsciously twirled the earphone cord as she naturally lied, “Aiya, mom. I’m only 23 years old. Why are you so anxious? Besides, I have to focus on my studies. Falling in love is something that will happen naturally on its own.” On the other end of the phone, Mama Lu seemed to be dissatisfied with her response and began to criticize and educate her.

She lowered her head and didn’t say anything. After a while, she gently appeased, “Mom don’t worry. I will tell you if I find someone suitable.”

After the call ended, Lu Wei Xi was left in a daze. She had only been with Jian Chi for a month. If she tells her mom now, it would be too fast.

She is not ready yet, she believes that….Jian Chi is also not prepared yet.

She turns on her computer and logs on to Sina Weibo. Before Lu Wei Xi could look through the homepage, she suddenly remembered something–––upload song.

She pulled up the folder with the song she recorded last weekend. Before she uploads it, she gave a listen one more time.

Lu Wei Xi put on her earphones and press the play button. She feels very nervous, not because she has to upload it but it is the song that Jian Chi heard her perform last winter at University T, “Marvelous Ability”

After what he said that night, Lu Wei Xi couldn’t contain it in her heart. She wanted to record this song again and put it out on the internet. It is….a small gift for him.

“I have heard the barren land become lively,

Heard the dust buried in the castle,

Heard the sky refuse to allow birds fly,

But I haven’t heard from you;

I understand that what’s in front of me is a bubble,

Silence is bitter medicine,

I understand what makes me proud,

But I can’t understand you;

I rejected a better and rounder moon,

Rejected the unknown madness,

Rejected the overbearing popularity,

But I didn’t reject you.”


The artist of this song is Chen Li, an independent singer whom Lu Wei Xi greatly admires. All of her works are unique. Someone once commented that before the end of her song, it is impossible to define its style. The tune is sorrowful, but her singing is brisk and her voice is natural. It is the type of sadness that grows vigorously overtime.

After listening through it and confirming that there is no BUG, Lu Wei Xi was satisfied and upload the link to 5sing on her Weibo.

She hopes that he will like it.

After it is uploaded, Lu Wei Xi stretched her limbs. In a short amount of time, after she refreshed the page, she already received a few dozen responses. They are all basically positive praises but there are the occasional messages that say her treble is hard to listen to. Lu Wei Xi didn’t put it to heart and just moved past it. After all, a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets in their heads. She never thought that she would be liked by everyone.

She turned her head to look at Mu Ran Ran. Currently, she is battling a Boss and has a pair of headsets on occasionally swearing through the microphone. Lu Wei Xi stared at her for a while and for some unknown reason suddenly thought of someone from a long, long, long time ago.

She still remembers that person’s ID is Old Age. Because he couldn’t bear to watch her be killed by the same person over and over again, he taught her to PK over and over again. He seemed like a very cold person.
