Wang Jinglu lay on the table, one hand propped up, staring blankly at the glass window in front of him and the light on the opposite floor outside the window.

She was in a daze.

For her, this kind of time in a daze is not too common.

After a long while, she picked up her phone and clicked on the text message, but hesitated for a moment, then put it back again, got up and walked around the room—but the more she walked, the more irritated she became.

There was a knock on the door, and she stood still and said, "Mom?"

Tao Huijun pushed the door in, smiled, and asked, "Mother heard it just now, someone called you?"

Wang Jing nodded expressionlessly, "Hmm".

"What's the matter?" Tao Huijun asked again.

Wang Jinglu opened her mouth and closed it again, looking more and more irritable, and then she said, "Mom, don't you care about my business in the future, okay? You have to ask ...... when I answer the phone."

Tao Huijun hurriedly raised his hand, "Okay, okay, mom doesn't ask, mom doesn't ask......"

Just before leaving, she still had a smile on her face.

It seems to be ...... Really happy.

That's right, the call just now was from Zhao Yumin.

Don't even think about it, the number must be Dad...... Or maybe his mother gave it to him.

He asked Wang Jinglu to eat together.

At that time, Wang Jinglu was slightly stunned, but before she could speak, the other party seemed to have expected that she was likely to refuse directly, so he immediately said: "Xiaolu, don't be in a hurry to refuse me, okay? The time is very arbitrary, Friday, Saturday, weekend, you can do it, noon, evening, you can do it." Think about it, okay? Give me a chance. ”

It should be said that although I have only met twice, and I am still deeply vigilant, it is really difficult for a man like Zhao Yumin to be disgusted, even if Wang Jinglu, even if she is disgusted with Zhao Yumin's approach to herself, but she still can't have any displeasure with him as a person.

There is no doubt that he is an excellent man who can easily make girls fall in love.

In particular, the voice, tone, and attitude of his speech...... It's really not easy for people to be ruthless enough to say the word "refuse".

And with Wang Jinglu's character, she never wanted to embarrass people and couldn't say anything powerful, so once someone blocked the words before she spoke, she immediately became entangled, so that until the other party hung up the phone, she couldn't say the words of refusal.

So, when the phone hung up, she kept remorseful.

Blame yourself, blame yourself...... Too unassertive, too indecisive in handling things.

So what to do?

Call back the phone and reject him?

Well, it's doable.

She even pinched the tone of her speech, simulating and practicing in a low voice, "Hello, Mr. Zhao Yumin? I'm Wang Jinglu...... Yes, it's me. I'm sorry, I've been reviewing my homework lately, I'm busy, and I really don't have time, so ...... I'm sorry. ”

After practicing twice, she felt that it was not good, her tone and attitude were too soft, and it would make him not too desperate.

So......

"Hello, Mr. Zhao Yumin? I'm Wang Jinglu. Yes, I thought about it just now, thank you for the invitation, but I don't have time. And I already have a boyfriend, so please don't call me in the future, okay? I don't want him to misunderstand......"

It seems to be ...... again Too hard?

"If I say that, I will definitely be weak at that time, and I'm afraid I will even have to tremble in my voice......"

She simply covered her face and collapsed on her back on the bed.

"I'm really useless!" she thought, "If it were my sister, she would definitely not be as troublesome as me!

"I'm not interested!" she must have said.

Just these four words, I don't know how many boys have choked to death!

So, what to do? Go to dinner with him?

Don't even think about it!

If it's another girl, they may think, isn't it just a meal, who is it not eating with? and it is not asking you to pay for a treat, and you will not eat for nothing, at least you will earn a good meal! Why not?

But Wang Jinglu is different.

More than ten years of simple life, the family influence she has received since she was a child, and the figure that is filling her heart day by day, will make her extremely repulsive to this kind of thing.

Even she felt that as long as she thought about eating with other men, she would feel a kind of betrayal guilt in her heart.

I can't possibly like him, so why eat with him?

My sister said that for things you don't like and people you don't like, you have to beat them to death with a stick, don't give each other or give yourself any chance!

She felt that her sister was right!

Thinking of this, she showed a resolute look on her face and reached out to grab the phone.

However, when she flipped to the other party's caller number, her fingers stopped there, and she couldn't fall for a long time.

"It's so hard, how the hell am I supposed to say it so I don't hurt him?"

Underneath the unfamiliar number whose name has not been stored so far is Li Qian's name.

"Shall I tell him, let him call me back?" she thought.

But after thinking about it, I still forget it.

Although he was a little reluctant to admit it in his heart, in fact, Wang Jinglu knew very well in his heart that compared with a mature and personable man like Zhao Yumin, Li Qian was still very immature. Let him help himself make this call, what can he say?

Is it threatening?

That made him and Li Qian extremely weak.

"Forget it," she thought, "I never called back anyway, and he should have understood that I was refusing." Well, yes, that's it, if he wants to call again, then I'll just say no. ”

Thinking like this, Wang Jinglu suddenly felt a little relieved.

Then, the ghost made a miracle, and her finger fell on Li Qian's name.

The call went out.

She was inexplicably a little panicked, but she was also a little expectant.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he said.

"Uh, it's okay...... Did you sleep?" she said in a panic. After saying that, he was annoyed, it was only a quarter past eight, and it was strange that he would sleep!

Sure enough, he smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "No." What's wrong? Why don't you text?"

Although she couldn't see it, Wang Jinglu felt that her face must have turned red, because she felt a little hot—what a shame!

And, what's next? Call him yourself...... What's the matter?

The answer is, no.

She actually just wanted to hear the other person's voice, and it would be better if she could say a few more words. By the way, at this time, if he could tell a joke to make himself laugh, it would be perfect!

So after a moment of silence, she said, "Can you tell me a joke?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Qian should have been slightly stunned.

Then, he said, "I'm reviewing my homework, where do I want to get a joke for a while." ”

"Oh. Wang Jinglu was slightly disappointed, nodded subconsciously, and asked, "What are you reviewing?"

"I'm memorizing history, and I'm going to learn Russian for a while. "But history is so difficult, especially the history of the Soviet Union...... Do you know where the most powerful and greatest place in the USSR is?"

Listening to the previous Wang Jinglu, he was still puzzled, thinking that Li Qian's history is not too bad, isn't it modern and contemporary history, what is so difficult? But then I heard Li Qian suddenly turn the topic to the most powerful place in the Soviet Union......

She frowned and thought about it, not knowing what Li Qian meant, so she asked, "Where is it?"

"The Soviet people have successfully overcome difficulties that do not exist in other socialist countries!" he said earnestly.

"Oh. ”

Wang Jinglu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came back to her senses, and couldn't help but burst out laughing!

"Your mouth is really bad. She laughs.

But then, she suddenly became a little excited, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

On the other end of the phone, Li Qian didn't smile. He thought for a moment and said: "It is said that in the fifties, when the American diplomatic delegation visited the Soviet Union, Soviet officials accompanied them everywhere to see the great achievements of socialist construction, and proudly said that when the next five-year plan was completed, every family in the Soviet Union would have an airplane. The American officials were surprised and asked, "What is the use of the plane?" The Soviet official said, "Of course it works!" For example, if you are in Moscow and you hear that bread has been supplied to Leningrad, you can fly over and wait in line to receive bread......

Wang Jinglu laughed a rare "hehe".

Even if she usually laughs, at most she just purses her lips and smiles.

At this time, Li Qian also laughed and said, "Don't ask for it anymore, I can't think of it, I forgot about it." ”

Wang Jinglu turned over on the bed, suddenly thought of Li Qian reviewing his homework, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "You want to review Russian later?"

"Hmm. ”

"Shall I give you Russian lessons?"

"Huh?" he was a little surprised.

"Is it good?" asked Wang Jinglu excitedly.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, then he said, "That...... You're coming?"

Yes, there is no light on the roof, so you can't do your homework, you have to go to their house!

As soon as she thought of this, Wang Jinglu hesitated slightly.

Since everyone grew up, she hadn't been to the right door in a long, long time. Going to Li Qian's house at such a big night, his parents won't think much about it, right?

But soon, Wang Jinglu rolled over and jumped off the bed, although she was a little flustered, she was still very excited.

"I'll go!" she said.

…………

There was a knock on the door, and Li Qian rushed over to open the door, took out a new pair of slippers and put them in front of her.

Under the snowy overhead light, Wang Jinglu's face was a bright flush.

"Xiaolu is here to play?"

Mama Li, who was watching the TV series, turned around and said hello to Wang Jinglu, smiling.

Dad Li also turned around and gave a smile.

I don't know if Li Qian told me something in advance, in short, Li's mother was not as enthusiastic as she used to be - Wang Jinglu was afraid that she would be too enthusiastic and make it as if she was welcoming her daughter-in-law into the door.

"Hello Auntie, hello Uncle Li, I'll tutor Li Qian in Russian. She changed into her slippers and walked into the living room, blushing.

Dad Li nodded when he heard this, with a warm smile on his face, "Okay, good, Li Qian's Russian is very poor, you help him work hard!"

Wang Jinglu nodded, "Hmm".

At this time, Li's mother said, "That's ...... Xiao Qian, you take Xiao Lu to your room to sit, and take whatever you want to eat and drink in the refrigerator...... Xiaolu, then Auntie won't entertain you, Auntie watches TV series, you can tutor!"

Wang Jinglu nodded again, said "Okay", and then breathed a sigh of relief and followed Li Qian into his bedroom.

Li Qian closed the door, and when he saw Wang Jinglu looking back and forth in the room with a little curiosity, he smiled and said, "Sit down! ”

Wang Jinglu nodded, sat down on the edge of the bed, turned her head, and saw the history textbook and Russian textbook on the table.

"You're really reviewing your homework!" she was a little surprised.

Li Qian in his memory is not so fond of learning. At least when he got home, he never touched his textbooks.

Li Qian smiled and whispered, "You haven't been here for a long time, huh?"

Wang Jinglu smiled and nodded.

The large ceiling fan on the roof was whirring and turning, and it was not too hot in the house. It's just that for a while, it seems that the two of them don't know what to say, and the atmosphere is a little inexplicably awkward.

This is Li Qian's bedroom, which is naturally different from the roof of the building.

At this time, Wang Jinglu saw the guitar on the bedside, and was glad that she had finally found a topic, so she asked: "I remember that you don't like the guitar very much, why did you start tossing it again?

Li Qian took the guitar and shook it, "You're going straight to the Beijing Film Academy, and you don't allow me to pursue some art?"

Wang Jinglu smiled when she heard this.

After a while, she asked, "So what do you play now?" have you learned a few tunes?"

Li Qian sighed when he heard this, "Alas, where is it so easy to learn, I can play a little star now, and I can't play it smoothly." ”

Wang Jinglu smiled as usual, looked very interested, and said, "Can you play it for me?"

Li Qian pretended to sigh, picked up the guitar, plucked strings string by string, and sang word by word while playing it, "Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of small stars, hanging in the sky and shining brightly, like many small eyes." Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of small stars. ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Jinglu listened to such a simple, naïve and jerky performance, but she didn't mean to laugh at all, but encouraged Li Qian very seriously, "You play very well, although this piece is very simple, but you can play every note without making a mistake, it can be seen that you have really practiced very hard in the past few days! Don't worry, take your time, you will definitely become more and more familiar with the practice, and the better you will be! When the simple tune is mature, you can get in touch with the relatively complex ones." ”

Li Qian glanced at her helplessly, and sighed again, "Okay, you're really boring...... I lied to you just now, in fact, I'm already familiar with it, don't believe it, you ...... listen?"

As he spoke, he came to a particularly complicated and fancy guitar show-off splendor that made Wang Jinglu stunned on the spot. Then, an indescribable light gradually shone through her eyes.

When Li Qian finished showing off, she looked at Li Qian, a smile appeared on her face a little bit, her eyes were shining, and she asked, "So, it's okay for you to play and sing by yourself?"

Li Qian nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem!"

Wang Jinglu smiled and said, "Then you can sing me a song." ”

Li Qian turned his head and glanced at the Russian textbook on the table, "I said, is this considered tuition?"

Wang Jinglu also turned her head to look at the Russian textbook, and the smile on her face became brighter. She nodded without hesitation and said with certainty, "That's the tuition!"

Li Qian was speechless.

So he hugged his guitar and thought about it, okay, it's better to have a campus ballad.

Of course, it's the campus folk songs of this time and space.

"Do you remember that snowy winter,

We met by chance on the train,

You talk about your love,

Say that your heart has broken the mirror.

……”

As long as he started playing the guitar and singing, Li Qian's heart couldn't hold anything else, his eyes were full of guitars, and even when he was singing, he would often close his eyes and let himself be completely immersed in the melody.

The song is a very familiar song, and the key is that the person who sings it is different.

Wang Jinglu put her arms on the table, her hands supported her face, and looked at Li Qian who was sitting on the edge of the bed playing and singing to herself with a look of surprise and fascination.

By the end, her gaze had lost focus, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

At the end of the song, Li Qian opened his eyes, and Wang Jinglu also came back to his senses.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, is this tuition okay?"

Wang Jinglu smiled, turned his head a little weakly and glanced at the door, and whispered: "I've been in for a while, I can't always listen to you sing, or let's start making up the class, right?"

Li Qian rolled his eyes, "It's so hard to praise me?"

Wang Jinglu smiled again, "No, what you played just now, of course you need praise and encouragement, but now, you play so well, you don't need to praise! If you praise again, won't you be proud?"

Li Qian raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile while putting down his guitar: "Okay, I'll take your words as a compliment." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head, his gaze swept over Wang Jinglu, but he suddenly froze.

Wang Jinglu is slender, a seventeen-year-old girl, thin and weak, as if she has not fully opened, but her skin seems to have been washed with milk, and she has long been as moist and fair as an adult woman. When she was listening to the song just now, she put her snow-white arm on the table, causing the edge of the table to press a deep mark. It hurts a little for her when people see her, but there is an indescribable charm, which suddenly tugs at people's heartstrings.

Li Qian hurriedly lowered his head, coughed, and then raised his head and asked, "Then where are you going to start making up lessons for me?"

Wang Jinglu opened the textbook very seriously and said, "Start with the first lesson. ”

Li Qian nodded and said, "It's okay!"

But when the pages of the book were opened, Wang Jinglu stared at the textbook for a moment, and then suddenly turned to look at Li Qian.

"You're going to ...... You'll go to Beijing to join me, right?" she asked.

Li Qian nodded solemnly, "I will." ”

Wang Jinglu laughed slightly.
