Chapter 128: Don't Play Stupid
This time back in City C, I went to school first.
It was Liang Yi who accompanied me, and I didn't even go back to the dormitory. I went directly to the department office to find the dean.
I'm about to be a senior now, but to be honest, I don't even know who the dean of the department is, and it's a joke to say it.
However, because I often ask for leave, I see the counselor quite a lot.
Liang Yi glanced at me impatiently: "The counselor is one level higher than your students, in fact, in the department, he is in charge of this and that, depending on your relationship network in the school for three years." β
"Liang Xiaoliu," I squinted at him, "are you itching?"
Liang Yi snorted and turned his head.
I asked Lu Jingzhong, about the order of his good buddies, I have met Zhu Qihong, Li Yu, Zhou Yue and Liang Yi, and the top **oss has not seen it. But I saw **OSS's brother Pei Sicheng. I always thought they were quite naΓ―ve, when is it now, it's still my brother and brother to say it, in fact, when I first heard Lu Jingzhong introduce Zhu Qihong and Li Yu, I almost didn't laugh, but when I saw that they were all serious, I swallowed that smile into my stomach.
This time I came to see the dean, mainly to explain my academic situation during this period, and by the way, Liang Yilai came to say hello to the dean instead of his mother, who is the minister of education.
This is obviously a fake public benefit, which I originally disdained, but since it can achieve the goal, then why not do it?
Hey, the obvious official crushed people to death. What's more, this is not a big level, it's just big to the sky.
I found that Liang Yi is also very good, don't look at the childish appearance of dragging in front of acquaintances, now when I arrive at the dean's office, I am very authentic with a polite word.
Since there is Liang Yi to come forward. I'm going to get things done very well.
Out of the department building, I said to Liang Yi: "I'll go back to the dormitory, you can go first." β
Liang Yi was not happy when he heard this: "Throw it away when you run out, this is your hospitality." β
I knew that Liang Yi must be full of discomfort when he accompanied me to school, so he simply didn't move out Lu Jingzhong came to suppress him, and said, "Wait until Sister Ming'er invites you to have a good meal." β
"Who is rare......
Although Liang Yi said so, I hadn't taken two steps forward before I was stopped by Liang Yi.
Liang Yi rolled down the window and said in a special way: "Remember to bring ice cream when you invite me to eat." β
I was on the verge of laughing. It turned out that Liang Yi still remembered the stubble of ice cream. However, in order to save some face for Liang Yi, I endured it so that I didn't laugh out loud, and calmly compared an OK gesture.
Before I went back, I originally wanted to notify the three roommates one by one, but I felt that it would be a waste of saliva to repeat the same sentence three times, so I simply called Xue'er alone.
As soon as Xue'er heard that I was coming back, she was able to tear over the roof with a loud voice, so she hurriedly asked me, "Did you tell Sangsang and Wenwen?"
I said, "No, you're the first." β
So, Xue'er, the big mouth, dutifully helped me relay the news of my return to the dormitory to Sangsang and Wenwen.
It's just that when I opened the bedroom door, all I saw was Wen Wen and Xue'er.
As soon as Cher saw me, she gave me a bear hug: "Jiayin." I'm going to miss you! You're finally back!"
Wen Wen seemed very calm, and when I walked over, he hugged each other and said, "Welcome back." β
I have always felt that Wen Wen has a pair of eyes that can see through people, for example, when she says welcome back now, I always feel as if she knows something, although she is not a person in the upper circle of City C, but she belongs to the big family of City S, and the Gu family where Gu Qingcheng is located...... Isn't it also from S City? I hope I'm thinking too much about it.
When Xue'er quieted down, I asked, "Where's Sangsang?"
Wen Wen said: "She wants to be admitted to the graduate school of X University, change the environment, and go to X University." β
"X big?"
I suddenly thought that X University was the school where Lu Jingzhong graduated, and the last art exam was at X University.
Wen Wenqi sighed: "What's wrong?"
I shook my head, "It's fine." "Tuan Tu Xie carried.
I called and ordered a table of dishes, and I was eating around a small round table.
There is one less person, and the three of us are still eating hotly, and Xue'er said that the hair that was tortured by the exam fell out one by one, but of course Wen Wen Xueba didn't have to worry.
Because neither of them is in the same major as me, naturally they don't know that my exam results are all due to others.
I put a chopstick crispy fish in my mouth, only to hear Wen Wen say: "Jiayin, the school has a piano competition recently, has your department notified me?"
I froze for a moment, then shook my head.
Cher said: "She has just come back now, where will she have time to read the announcement on the school website." β
As she spoke, Xue'er immediately picked up her phone and showed me the announcement, "As of today's registration deadline, Jiayin, hurry up and sign up!"
I hesitated in my heart, I didn't answer, Xue'er already wanted to turn on the computer, and Wen Wen pressed the back of her hand: "Eat first." β
My gaze met Wen Wen in mid-air, and I nodded slightly.
Xue'er is a typical heartless person, even if she is panicking to turn on the computer for me now, but when she eats, she forgets about this matter and starts to walk to the balcony to talk to her boyfriend Leizi on the phone.
I lowered my voice and asked Wen Wen, "How are Ah Xue and Leizi?"
Wen Wen said, "No." β
Xue'er and Leizi, a couple, in fact, in addition to Xue'er feeling good about herself in the bedroom, the three of us, as well as Xue'er's brother, don't really like Leizi, this person is too sleek, and too sophisticated, since Xie Zhunjia's incident, I feel that Leizi has become more and more unreliable, but, last year, Xue'er also pulled us to the rental house she rented outside, so that we witnessed a marriage proposal.
For a girl who is the pearl of the palm at home, willing to go out with a man to live in a dilapidated rental house of dozens of square meters, and accept his marriage proposal, I think, Xue'er is really in love.
I only hope that this relationship can blossom and bear fruit.
After Xue'er finished the call, she happily changed her clothes and went out.
Wen Wen stood against the bed railing: "It's a big night, this is going to participate in the beauty pageant?"
Wen Wen always spoke like this for a while, and Xue'er glared at Wen Wen from the floor-to-ceiling mirror and said, "I'm going on a date with my fiancΓ©." β
I suddenly remembered that last summer, Lu Jingzhong's friend Pei Sicheng asked me if I knew a classmate from the literature department, and I gave him Xue'er's phone number, so I asked Xue'er casually: "Do you remember that someone called you to inquire about someone?"
Xue'er was stunned for a moment, took off the sleeveless dress on her body and turned out a roll-neck shirt dress, before saying, "There are many people looking for me to inquire, which one are you talking about?"
I said, "With a three-year-old child." β
"Oh, he's looking for a girl in our class, I gave him the phone and didn't participate anymore, and I'm not good at matchmaking," Xue'er said, stepped on a pair of small high heels and walked out of the bedroom, and gave me a flying kiss before leaving: "Jiayin, you just came back today, what a dream!
Without Xue'er, the bedroom suddenly became quiet, and there was a hint of step-by-step smell when washing and going to bed.
It's just that I turned on the computer, facing another piano competition, I suddenly didn't know whether I wanted to participate or not, although I have been adhering to the spirit of focusing on participation, but since I participated, who doesn't want to get the ranking, but whether to get the ranking or not, there are personal efforts, of course, there are some irresistible factors of manpower.
Wen Wen was looking for books on the bookshelf, and when she noticed my stunnedness, she leaned over and looked at the computer screen twice, and said, "Sign up?"
I said, "I've been doing a lot lately, and even if I did, I don't think I would be able to find time to practice." β
"Sign up first, the deadline is today, you can choose not to sign up, but if you miss the opportunity to register, you won't be able to go when you want to. β
Wen Wen's words woke me up, I still signed up first, and when I entered the registration interface, I found that hundreds of people had already registered, and it seemed that there was still a round of primary selection in the department, and then the tutor recommended it.
I remembered the unpleasant experience of being temporarily changed last time, and I couldn't help but shake my head, wondering how far I could go if I was at my current level.
I went to bed first, and sat at my desk to study.
I sent a message to Lu Jingzhong: "I slept in the dormitory at night. β
After a while, a text message was replied: "Hmm. β
I sent another message: "What a dream, Moda." β
After sending this text message, I put my phone aside and stopped looking at it, looking at Wen Wen, who was still sitting under the lamp and reading a book.
Whenever I see such a focused Wen Wen, I feel that I am particularly incompetent, in the past few years of college life, first to make money to play the piano for others to spend the past, and when I reached the junior year, I basically did not read a few books.
Wen Wen seemed to notice that I was looking at her from behind, put down the pen, turned around, and suddenly asked me for no reason: "Jiayin, are you in love?"
Me: "......"
I was completely unprepared, and I was blown up like a bomb by Wen Wen's words.
I wasn't ready to confess to my friends before, because Lu Jingzhong's identity is sensitive, and it's really hard for me to speak.
However, now that Wen Wen has seen it......
I asked, "How do you see that?"
Wen Wen smiled, the pen turning on the tips of his fingers, "I must have my own method." β
Now that it's all been seen through, I nodded: "Well, yes, it's been a year." β
Wen Wen opened his mouth wide at first, and then almost immediately regained his composure, and there was no wave on his face, "You really hide it deeply, but it's not difficult to guess, since this time last year, you don't go back to the dormitory much, only come back once in a while......"
Actually, not just one year, but four years.
In this atmosphere in the dead of night, there is always a desire to talk, especially after Qiao Chu left, I haven't talked to others about my own affairs for a long time, that feeling of no one listening, as if a flat boat is drifting in the sea, although I can also say it to Lu Jing, but it is completely different from what I tell my friends.
So, I sat up from the bed, leaned back on a pillow behind me, and began to speak.
"Actually, my boyfriend, who is now my husband...... Yes, we have received the certificate, but we haven't made up the wedding yet," I saw a look of surprise in Wen Wen's eyes, and continued, "It's Lu Jingzhong." β
Next, starting from four years ago, starting from my hometown, to Yangcheng, and then to C City, from the first time I met Lu Jingzhong, to Lu Jingzhong's departure, and then to goodbye a year ago.
When my mouth was dry, Wen Wen made me a glass of honey water and sent it to the bedside, I held the warm glass of water, and suddenly felt very warm.
I don't know, why did I pick these words to tell Wen Wen first, maybe Wen Wen has always been more calm and mature, although she and Qiao Chu's personalities are two extremes, but she is a good sister who can help me like Qiao Chu and can stand in front of me to shelter me from the wind and rain.
When I had finished everything I could think of, I drank a full glass of honey water, placed the glass on the table, and looked up at Wen Wen.
Wen Wen said: "Lu Jingzhong, is that the dead vi reported at the beginning of the year?"
I nodded.
Wen Wen walked over and hugged my shoulder: "Jiayin, you said that you are the most unlucky, and you are willing to exchange ten years of life for a day with a family like Xue'er...... Now, would you still like it?"
I suddenly remembered, yes, I once said such things to Wen Wen, because at that time, I felt that the heavens and the earth were gray, but now my light is back, not only Lu Jingzhong, but also Ice Cream and Yanyan, my two lovely babies.
I shook my head: "I don't want to. β
Wen Wen also closed the book, walked into the bathroom to wash, I suddenly remembered that Wen Wen was from S City, and should know the Gu family of the so-called famous family, so I raised my voice and asked her: "Wen Wen! Have you ever said hello to the Gu family?"
There was only the sound of water in the bathroom, and there was no warm answer, and when she came out while wiping her face with a towel, I asked again.
Wen Wen hung up the towel and said, "In the Cheng family, I don't care about business. β
"Oh," I rolled over, "What about Gu Qingcheng? Have you heard of it?" I heard Lu Jingzhong say that Gu Qingcheng is very famous in S City. β
Wen Wen was slapping the lotion on his face, and his voice was accompanied by the sound of a slap on his face: "I don't know." β
Forget it, I know that Wen Wen has always cared about her so-called illegitimate daughter's identity, except for going home during the winter and summer vacations, all the rest of the time is in school, either in the library or in the study room. Therefore, try to rely on yourself as much as possible, not on the Cheng family, and those things in the upper circles don't know.
"What is this for?" Wen Wen changed the cream and rubbed it on his face.
I thought about it for a while, but I still told Wen Wen: "Gu Qingcheng...... It seems like my own brother......"
With a snap, the cream box in Wen Wen's hand fell to the ground, and suddenly shattered into several pieces on the ground, and the cream was all over the ground.
I couldn't help but prop up my arms to look at Wen Wen's expression, she lowered her head, the bangs on her forehead cast a black shadow on her head, and she actually squatted down directly to pick up the glass shards on the ground with her hands, I called her: "Don't use your hands!
Wen Wen seemed to have come back to his senses at this point, and walked to the wall to pick up a broom, but his movements were a little stiff.
I always feel that although Wen Wen said that he was not familiar with the Gu family, he knew Gu Qingcheng.
However, she was holding all the things in her heart, and she didn't want to say it, so I wouldn't ask, and I didn't feel that I told her everything from beginning to end, but she didn't tell me about this sense of imbalance, and if you want to keep it a secret, then the best way is to keep your mouth shut.
After a long time, I heard Wen Wen say: "Gu Qingcheng is my fiancΓ©. β
Me: "......"
This is a great news that I told Wen Wen, and she told me another piece of such exciting news, and I was almost stunned by this news.
For a while, I really didn't know whether to say congratulations or something else, so I simply paused, steadied my mind, and waited for what Wen Wen was going to say next.
Wen Wen also lay on the bed, holding his arms and looking at me: "It's just a relationship of interest, we've only met a few times, and you know that big families will always adopt the way of marriage between children in order to consolidate it." β
"Well, I know, but I think it's unfair. β
However, when Wen Wen said that it was just a partnership, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know why, I always feel that Gu Qingcheng seems to have hurt Wen Wen, but now that I hear Wen Wen deny it, I am relieved.
This feeling is really subtle, and unconsciously, I seem to have demarcated Gu Qingcheng into the circle around me, and I don't want anyone in this circle to be harmed.
Before going to bed, I glanced at my mobile phone, only to see that Lu Jingzhong had sent a lot of QQ messages, and the last one stopped: "Did you sleep?"
I immediately replied to him: "No, I just talked to Wen Wen." β
I originally thought that Lu Jingzhong had already slept, but after a while, he sent me a voice message, at this time the lights had been turned off, Wen Wen was lying on the bed reading a book, I simply turned out the headphones, and the voice was Lu Jingzhong's deep voice: "I just fell asleep with Yanyan." β
I smiled and typed, "Good Chinese father." β
For the next half hour, it was Lu Jingzhong who gave me a voice, and I typed to reply to him.
Me: "I've told Wen Wen our story, Wen Wen, you know, a very good friend of mine. β
Lu Jingzhong: "I know, S City." β
Me: "She just said that Gu Qingcheng was her fiancΓ©, and I was shocked." β
Writing this, it suddenly occurred to me that Lu Jingzhong was so powerful that he might already know about it, so he hid it from me alone.
"Did you know it early on?"
Lu Jingzhong spoke a little slower, and there seemed to be a smile in his voice: "What do you know?"
I sent three words: "Don't, pretend, stupid." β
Lu Jing resent a voice: "Hehe." β
Me: "......"
I glanced sideways at Wen Wen's side face again, the light of the desk lamp outlined her silhouette, in fact, Wen Wen is the most amazing one among the four people in our bedroom, the most beautiful, belongs to the kind of face that can be remembered at a glance, but, just like Qiao Chu originally said, if a woman wants to make a career, don't be too beautiful, originally, women will be divided into a vulnerable group in the workplace, if you are too beautiful, it is easy to be erased some of the internal efforts and qualities.
I sent a message to Lu Jingzhong: "Do you think Gu Qingcheng will be good to Wen Wen?"
After a long time, Lu Jingzhong didn't reply again, I thought he was asleep, so I removed the headphones, and began to browse some posts on the phone at will, and when the eyelids were about to droop, Lu Jingzhong replied with a voice, I immediately pressed it, and when the voice suddenly came out, I was startled, and quickly stuffed the phone into the quilt, and I didn't hear anything said, but Wen Wen plugged the headphones at this time to listen to the listening material, and I was relieved.
What Lu Jingzhong said was: "What do you want to do so much, if you want to know, when you see Gu Qingcheng, ask him." β
I looked at the empty ceiling and pursed my lips.
Since I knew that my parents were not biological parents, I was very eager to have the existence of family affection, different from the existence of Lu Jingzhong or ice cream and words, but another kind of blood bond, I have to say that the appearance of Gu Qingcheng just filled this part of the vacancy in my heart.
Therefore, I subconsciously think that Gu Qingcheng is a good person, maybe he is not good to others, but he is good to me.
I think what Lu Jingzhong said is right, when I meet Gu Qingcheng, I must make my relationship with Wen Wen clear, if it is good for me, then it must be good for my friends.
I was thinking about it when my phone rang.
I pressed the voice, and Lu Jingzhong's deep voice came from inside: "Moda, wife." β
Thinking of Lu Jingzhong's mouth shape when he said funny words like "Mo Mo Da", coupled with his handsome face, I felt very interesting, and I couldn't help laughing out loud, but unfortunately, I didn't see it with my own eyes.
After a long time, the first time I slept in the dormitory, I slept very well.
Maybe it's because since I went to university, I've made this my home, and then I've made Lu Jingzhong's Huayuan Suite my home.
Now, as long as there is Lu Jingzhong, I feel that it is home.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
I have been away from City C for nearly half a year, and I have the 10% shares transferred to me by Lu Jingzhong in my hand, so I naturally have to go to Lu's to show up often.
When I was thinking about what excuse I could use to go in and show my face, Lu Zhengyu's assistant called me and said that there was a shareholders' meeting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so please come on time to attend.
At noon, I went back to feed Yanyan.
The words are still the same noisy, even when they are breastfeeding, they are not restless at all.
Of course, there was also Lu Jingzhong, who was sitting on the side, and after teasing me for a while, I put the full words into the cradle, turned around and glared at Lu Jingzhong angrily: "Don't move your hands and feet." β
Lu Jingzhong's eyes flashed with a glimmer of essence, hugged me from behind and pressed my chest directly, and his warm breath spit in my ear: "I'm going to be suffocated......"
My ears were red, he kneaded me through the sweater, and poked up from the hem of the sweater, his fingertips were a little cold, touching my skin made me can't help but shrink a little, suppressing my own assertive panting breathing, but I heard Lu's mother's voice outside the door: "Have you finished feeding the child?" β
I hurriedly pushed Lu Jingzhong away, sorted out the wide sweater on my body, Lu Jingzhong stood by the wall with his arms crossed, and agreed: "Got it, Mom." β
However, the way he looked at me, there was a hint of nonchalance.
I glared at him.
Lu Jingzhong's smile was particularly harmless at this time, and I suspected that he looked like a recent college graduate, with red lips and a white face.
After Lu's mother came back from out of town, she now directly packed up her things and came to live in Huayuan, which happened to help Lu Jingzhong and me bring some ice cream and words.
Otherwise, the older generation always says that they want the younger generation to have children earlier, and they help bring them anyway when they have children, which is indeed the case.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lu Jingzhong was going to Jiage in the afternoon, and he happened to drive me to Lu's.
On the way, I asked Lu Jingzhong: "Is there any news from Zheng Rao?"
Lu Jingzhong said: "Last week, the Rong family sent her abroad to raise a baby. β
I couldn't help frowning: "Is she really pregnant? Last time she told me that she was fake pregnant, she just wanted to marry into the Rong family, and the child was an excuse." β
