Anna originally planned to go to Lu Xiaolin, but Lu Xiaolin said that she grew up in Beijing and was more familiar than her, and said that she should wait and come to the bedroom to find her.

Anna agreed.

Lu Xiaolin quickly looked for it. The two were very happy to meet, talking and laughing. After talking about the latest situation, it was almost time for dinner.

At this time, there were no private restaurants in the university, only the cafeteria. Anna was going to invite Lu Xiaolin out to eat, but Lu Xiaolin said that she would eat in the cafeteria. I heard that the sweet and sour pork ribs in the canteen here are very famous, but she has never eaten them before. I want to try it. Anna took her to the cafeteria and made two sweet and sour chops with a base dish that sold the most expensive two cents and eight cents.

Lu Xiaolin ate with relish, and even said that it was delicious, and it really lived up to its reputation.

Anna's mind was not on eating, and when Lu Xiaolin was smiling, she pretended to ask casually: "Xiaolin, has there been any news of your brother recently?"

Lu Xiaolin said: "Isn't it in the army airline? Where else could he go?"

She should have no idea that Lu Zhongjun had been seconded by that "mysterious" department. Anna was a little disappointed in her heart, oh.

Lu Xiaolin took a piece of pork ribs and put it in her mouth, chewing it, and said vaguely: "Sister Anna, are you and my brother in love?"

Anna was startled and looked at Lu Xiaolin.

"Don't admit it!" Lu Xiaolin swallowed what was in her mouth and said with a grin, "My brother is stupid! The last time I said I was looking for a place to hang out, he told me to come to you, and I was weird. Later, I went back and deliberately told him that Young Master Lin from Hong Kong chased you after us and swam in the West Lake for two days, and he immediately changed his face. And when I went to Hongshijing to look for him before, he drove to the side of the school and waited for you for a long time, just to say a few words to you, and told me not to get out of the car. I asked him if he still didn't admit it, Sister Anna, did you think you were in love?"

Facing Lu Xiaolin, who was so single-handed, Anna didn't know how to answer for a while.

It's against your will to say no.

said yes, with the current state of himself and Lu Zhongjun, I always feel that it seems a bit inappropriate to make it public so early.

“…… I'm just in a hurry! It's the first time I've known that my brother is actually in a relationship with a woman! Sister Anna, you told me that I wouldn't tell anyone else! I won't tell my dad until my brother is ready to tell my dad himself! Oh, by the way, and Sister Hualan. ”

Hearing Hua Lan, the long-lost name, suddenly came out of Lu Xiaolin's mouth, and the tone sounded very familiar, Anna suddenly felt a little surprised, as if ......

As a sister-in-law, the relationship between the jealousy and the former rival and the sister-in-law is the same as that between herself and the sister-in-law.

Anna was taken aback by her own thoughts. Secretly laughed at himself, and said casually: "What's wrong with her?"

"Didn't she always like my brother? The last time she came to me, she asked you if I knew anything about you. Of course I don't know. Lu Xiaolin put down her chopsticks and grabbed one of Anna's hands, "Sister Anna, if you are really talking to my brother, don't hide it from me." I wish I had a sister-in-law! My brother likes you so much. Of course I like you too! Even if he doesn't like you one day, I still like you! Just tell me the truth!"

Anna hesitated, and finally admitted, "I'm with your brother...... It's really talking...... It's just not finalized yet...... Don't tell anyone about it yet. ”

"Great! Although I guess my dad is quite concerned about my brother's personal problems, I promise that I am the only one who knows before my brother says it!"

Lu Xiaolin nodded hurriedly, and looked at Anna's eyes and suddenly became much more affectionate.

Anna smiled and thanked her.

"Thank you, I want to thank you for telling me! Sister Anna, you probably don't know that my brother and my dad don't have a good relationship. Last time my dad was sick and hospitalized, my brother went to see it, but the two of them quarreled again after sitting for a while, and my dad yelled, I heard the nurse say that she was scared to death outside, and she wanted to go in and persuade but didn't dare. In the future, if you really become my sister-in-law, you have to persuade my brother and let him let my father order. Don't fight him anymore. I guess my brother will only listen to you. ”

Lu Xiaolin's words reminded Anna again of the old man on the hospital bed she had met in a hurry in junior high school.

Recalling that he pointed to the photo to tell him about his son's high-spirited appearance when he was young, it is hard to imagine that the relationship between father and son would be so stiff now.

"Your brother and your father, has the relationship always been like this?"

Anna couldn't help but ask.

"Almost......" Lu Xiaolin frowned, "When we were young, my dad was rarely at home. At that time, something happened at home, which made my brother very dissatisfied with my dad. In addition, their tempers are similar, and they will stand up without saying three words. In the past, when they were at home together, I had to be scared on the sidelines. But I know that they both actually care about each other in their hearts. It's just that no one is willing to give in first. ”

Anna was silent.

"Don't talk about these boring things!" Lu Xiaolin became happy again, "Sister Anna, let me tell you, my brother is older than me, not only always bullying me, but also taking care of me to death, and not allowing me to fall in love at school." Said that I was afraid that I would be deceived by a man and bullied or something. Now he's talking about it himself. The next time I see him, Sister Anna, you have to help me talk about him!"

Anna laughed.

"I'm full!"

Lu Xiaolin finally put down her chopsticks contentedly.

"Today's trip is really not in vain! not only did I eat delicious sweet and sour pork ribs, but I also found someone who could help me treat my brother!"

……

After eating, the two came out of the cafeteria, and Lu Xiaolin saw the news about tonight's weekend dance posted on the bulletin board, and immediately came to the energy and wanted to go with Anna.

"My brother is so annoying! He still won't let me go to the ball! Sister Anna, which young man don't go to the ball now! Who is as old-fashioned as him! Let's go together! He doesn't know if he goes anyway! If you really know, you'll be angry with him!"

As if imagining the look that the elder brother might have after knowing that she took her future sister-in-law to the ball, Lu Xiaolin smiled happily.

Several of the eldest sisters in the same dormitory originally said that they would go to the dance party together in the evening. The eldest sisters, who were in their early thirties, had gone to the prom for the first time, had never skipped before, and asked Anna to teach them in the dormitory. Anna taught at the time. They asked Anna to go with them. Anna agreed. Seeing that Lu Xiaolin was also going at this time, he smiled and nodded.

When she returned to the dormitory, Lu Xiaolin and several eldest sisters who lived together were hot. At half-past six, the ball should begin, and the group dressed up and went arm-in-arms to the weekend ballroom, which had been converted into a multipurpose hall.

By the time Anna and her party went, the ball had already begun.

The Weekend Dance Party is a very popular weekend event for college students. There were a lot of people in it. Dance music is basically slow three slow four. The dance steps are simple. Lu Xiaolin and several eldest sisters soon had dance partners and went off the dance floor.

Anna stood alone in the corner of the ballroom, politely declining several invitations to dance, and her gaze passed through the crowd of heads and landed on a good-looking and good-looking senior boy not far away.

Although she had only been at the university for a week, Anna had already gotten to know the man. Zhu Jianbin, president of the student union. He gave a speech at the meeting to welcome new students. In the Department of Philosophy, the president of the debate club and a member of the poetry club, he can play a good guitar. He is the proud protégé of the head of the department, and his girlfriend is the daughter of the head of the department, who is said to be a few years older than him, and has gone to study in the United States last year. Zhu Jianbin has also just taken the TOEFL test and is applying to study in the United States at public expense, and the application index should be able to come down soon.

In short, this Zhu Jianbin is the so-called man of the year in the university.

When she first heard the name Zhu Jianbin , Anna remembered something.

The negative man who abandoned Li Mei after being admitted to the university is named Zhu Jianbin , and coincidentally, he is also in this university.

Anna once again politely declined a person who invited her to dance, and walked towards Zhu Jianbin .

……

Zhu Jianbin was standing on the edge of the dance floor, talking and laughing with a few other people, and the dance floor lights swept over his face, looking personable.

"Can you dance with me?" Anna stopped in front of him, and under the surprised gaze of the people on the side, she invited Zhu Jianbin to dance with a smile.

Traditionally, only boys have invited girls to dance, and rarely the other way around.

Zhu Jianbin was also slightly stunned, his eyes fell on Anna's face, and then he smiled, nodded in agreement, and the two got off the dance floor.

The dance music is only slow three. As soon as the two got off the dance floor, Zhu Jianbin said in a flattering tone: "I know you, Anna from the Chengdu Education Department, right? Many people are talking about you, saying that you are very proud, but you can look at you from a distance and not get close. The iceberg beauty is about you. I didn't expect to be invited to dance by you tonight, it's really my honor. ”

Anna asked him what kind of person he was.

"I used to come from Shanghai. Zhu Jianbin said with a smile, "I envy those younger students who have completed a complete set of basic education and have been successfully admitted to university." I used to be a social self-examiner. The effort I put in to be admitted to this university back then is still unbearable when I think about it. ”

Anna smiled in agreement and asked him where he was in Shanghai. After hearing what he said, he smiled and said, "What a coincidence, you actually lived and worked there? I have a very good friend who is also there, I don't know if you knew each other before." ”

"It's also an honor for me to meet Anna, your friend. What's your friend's name?" Zhu Jianbin said in a warm tone.

"Li Mei. Her name is Li Mei and she works as a teacher at Chunhe Primary School. Anna looked at him with a smile, "I wonder if you recognize him?"

Zhu Jianbin's expression changed suddenly, and he stepped on Anna with a pause.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" he quickly came to his senses and hurriedly apologized to Anna, then shook his head, "I haven't heard of this person." It's not a small place, and I can't know all of them. ”

"yes," Anna continued to smile in agreement, "it's a pity. Originally, I wanted you to know her, so I could ask you how she was doing. I haven't seen her in years. Last time, I wanted to go to her on a whim, but when I went, I found that she was gone. When asked her former colleagues, she said that her mother was gone, and she went to the north to seek refuge with relatives. ”

Zhu Jianbin hesitated and asked in a tentative tone: "Anna, when you went to find your friend, did you hear anything else about her?"

"No more. Anna sighed, "Her former colleagues don't know where she went. It's a pity that my friends for many years have cut off contact like this. ”

Zhu Jianbin seemed to breathe, his expression slowly returned to normal, and his dance steps became flexible again, and he said with a smile: "Yes, it's a pity." ”

"Your Excellency, I heard that your girlfriend has gone to study in the United States, are you going soon?" Anna smiled, "You are really talented and beautiful, and you are the envy of others." ”

"Where, where—"

Zhu Jianbin seemed to be a little reluctant to mention this topic, looked at Anna, and a smile appeared on his face, "If only she had half of you." ”

Anna sneered inwardly.

At the end of a dance song, Anna thanked Zhu Jianbin and when he turned around, Zhu Jianbin caught up and said in a low voice: "Anna, there will be an event in our poetry club in a few days, are you interested, and come to participate? We invited a very famous poet to come to the scene, and there will be an event at the end." ”

Anna agreed.
