Twenty-one, finding reasons to meet (2)

  "Lan Xi, how did you calculate it?" asked Gu Xue Lin.

  Then, Lan Xie spoke up from the other side.

  "Mmm, mmm," Gu Xue Lin nodded continuously.

  I looked at Gu Xue Lin and shook my head helplessly.

  Then, he lowered his head to look at his phone, and a minute had already passed, but Ou Yang Xiao Xiao still hadn't sent him a text message.

  At this time, Gu Xue Lin took off her headphones and turned around, "Mu Xian, Lan Qi said that this month, the boys of Aries will have a peach blossom luck, do you believe it?"

  "Romantic luck?" I was stunned.

  "Yes," Gu Xue Lin nodded, "Lan Qi said that this is her calculation based on the international mainstream lunar three limits method, and calculated that this month, the moon in Aries has a conjunction with Venus, so there will be peach blossom luck."

  I glanced at Gu Xue Lin and forced a smile, "You believe this too?"

  Gu Xue Lin pouted, "Others have studied astrology for more than half a year."

  "She's a tour guide, not an astrologer. And yet, she hasn't even studied the four pillars and eight characters clearly, but she's going to study Jupiter and Mars? Isn't that ridiculous? Besides, she's only studied for half a year, not ten or eight years, who would believe her?" I said with disdain. "If she really has skills, let her calculate the next double color ball lottery. If she gets it right, then I'll believe her."

  "You're being unreasonable," Gao Xuelin was struck by my words, glared at me discontentedly and turned her head back with a huff.

  "Ah, let me tell you something, don't take things too seriously, if you do, you'll lose," I said with a smile.

  "This sentence should be given to you, is what you've been looking for all along," Gu Xue Lin retorted.

  "Hmm, isn't Lan Qi just back from Malaysia? Ask her to tell you about her experiences in Kuala Lumpur and Sarawak."

  Gu Xue Lin didn't say anything and turned her head away.

  At this time, Ouyang Xiao received a text message: You promised last time to let me see the script you wrote. When are you going to show it to me?

  I was stunned for a moment, then I remembered that when I met her, I told her I was a screenwriter, she asked me how many scripts I had written, I said six or seven, and at the time she said, "Find some time, let me take a look."

  The underlying message of this sentence is: why don't we meet up sometime?

  And when she and I parted ways, her last words were that she hoped our next meeting would be in bed.

  Do I have to take the script and go to her bed in the hotel?

  This idea is really maddening.

  How should I reply to her?

  I've been racking my brains, not wanting to break the silence, nor pretending to be serious, but also wanting her to know that I've actually been thinking about her during this time.

  How should I put it? How should I say it?

  Well, let's just say it that way.

  I glanced at Gu Xue Lin, she and Lan Qi were chatting about Malaysian cuisine, without noticing me at all.

  I started typing quickly: I've been thinking these past few days, whether or not to write you into my script, to write a beautiful story.

  I originally added the two words "love" at the beginning of the story, but then I thought about it, in a society where love is so cheap, talking to Ouyang Xiaoxiao about love would definitely make her despise and disdain me. Especially for someone like her, who has seen and experienced much, yet remains frivolous and unscrupulous.

  I thought at most it would take half a minute for Ouyang Xiaoxiao to reply to me with a short message.

  But what I didn't expect was that five minutes later, she replied: Keep in touch.

  I gripped my phone tightly and thought for a whole minute, but still couldn't figure out why her response was just those three words. All I could reply with were two words: "Okay".
