"Do you know Qin Guan?"
An innocent girl was looking at him with admiration in her bright black eyes.
"That's my brother! He is returning to China. Do you know who will pick him up from the airport? Liu Xiaoyang and I! We are his best friends!"
Li Jie was doomed to die for a woman. He would do anything if a woman asked in a flirtish manner.
As a result, the news spread all over campus overnight.
Huang Jiajia, who was a senior student now, was busy preparing for the postgraduate entrance exams and her thesis, as well as cherishing the passing happiness of student life.
She was a powerful sister at the college, so her girlfriends told her about the news. Words couldn't express her mixed feelings.
She sat in the empty grand hall for a long while before she fnally dialled a familiar number. Mou Xiaoliu's voice came from the other end of the line.
They had not contacted each other ever since Mou had graduated. As time went by, their precious memories faded away.
"Hello! It's me, Huang Jiajia."
"Jiajia? What happened? Why are you calling me?"
"What do you mean? Am I not allowed to call you?"
She was as bad-tempered as usual.
"No, I was just surprised. I'm very excited. I've… missed you."
After a long silence, came an unnatural response. "I missed you too..."
"I just wanted to tell you that Qin Guan is coming back."
"What? Why? Was he expelled?"
Her voice had gotten higher. Huang had to move the receiver away from her ear.
"Why are you so upset? According to Li Jie, he is coming back for work."
"You scared me!"
"If you are free, we could go see him at the airport."
"Okay, Jiajia. It was great to hear from you!"
"Oh, rubbish! I'll send you a text later."
"Okay. I'll pick you up from campus!"
"See you later!"
Huang hung up with a smile.
When Li Jie woke up, he found a team waiting under his dormitory.
"Li Jie, Li Jie! Get up! Where is Liu Xiaoyang?" the energetic girls shouted at him.
It was terrible for a man to be awakened early in the morning. Li Jie opened his window angrily.
"What are you doing? I'm sleeping!" When he saw the crowd below, he paused.
What happened? Did the American Army invade China?
He shook his head in an effort to wake up. Then he saw dozens of fellow students, both familiar and unfamiliar, looking at him as if he was a god.
"What happened?" he asked again, lowering his voice.
"Let's go to the airport to get Qin Guan!" the girls shouted together, led by Huang Jiajia.
Their flag was blowing in the wind. "Qin Guan, we love you!"
Li Jie was really annoyed. He was hangover, but he had to maintain his dignity before the girls.
Bang! He slapped his own face. "F*ck! What shall I do now?"
Before he could figure out a plan, Huang Jiajia shouted at him in a decisive voice, "Don't try to fool me! Don't blame this on Liu Xiaoyang. We are not some crazy fans. You won't lose face before your roommate!"
"Qin Guan is probably used to getting flowers and being applauded by fans. As his old friend, you can't meet him empty-handed. Look! We are the perfect team! You will be our leader!"
The girls were cheered up by Huang Jiajia. She is right. We are not some shameless fangirls. We support our idol considerately!
Li Jie scratched his messy hair. Then he craned his neck outside the window.
"Okay! Let's go together!"
"Yeah!"
Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei saw them waiting behind the railing.
