7. Lonely City (3)
Xia Linchen helped her very gentlemanly, his palm was thick and powerful.
This would have been a pair of hands holding a camera.
As soon as he thought of this, he looked into his eyes and remembered the story that Sister Bao had inquired from Wen Luo.
Wen Luo is not a person who talks a lot, and he only told Sister Bao some innocuous things after getting acquainted with him.
Xia Linchen in Wen Luo's mouth is probably the image of the sunny school grass that every girl loves when she was a girl. He is the best spokesperson for youth, has a handsome face, not bad grades, and most importantly, is very approachable and friends with everyone.
There is also a good way to make the girl who confesses to him return with a smile.
Eighteen-year-old Xia Linchen made an important decision on the day he became an adult, telling his mother, Zhuang Wanhua, that he would not stay in China to study at university, and in fact he did not plan to get this paper diploma anywhere. Studying abroad was only a delaying tactic for him, ostensibly to avoid his father's outburst.
He loved photography and made up his mind to follow this path, and no one could change him.
He joined a Chinese photography team, ran around the world with his companions, experienced the harshest environments, and saw the most beautiful scenery with his own eyes.
But I haven't forgotten the deformed family and the person in my heart.
Stepping on the land of City C again was perhaps the most wrong thing he had ever done, but he didn't regret it.
Xia Linchen moved, the young girl beside him was silent, and he could hear her thin breathing.
"Xia Linchen." She called his name for the first time.
"Huh?" He tilted his head and made an inquiring gesture.
Zhong Yi noticed that when he pronounced this monosyllable, the corners of his mouth would rise slightly.
"I'm sorry." Zhong said sincerely.
Xia Linchen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that she was apologizing for misunderstanding him when they met him for the first time. Then he smiled a little, his attitude became a little softer, and asked, "Is it sincere this time?" ”
was seen through.
Zhong Yi stuck out his tongue, and Xia Linchen couldn't see it.
"So you know."
Xia Linchen smiled and didn't continue.
The little girl's mind is easy to guess, although she wronged him, but after all, she was touched by that part, and she will be a little reluctant when she apologizes.
This little affection may not be felt by others, but he is so much older than her, and he has a smart ear, so he will find out.
"It's me who is wrong, I'll invite you to eat and make amends." Zhong smiled brightly, and suddenly thought that Wen Luo was not there, he may not have eaten lunch, "By the way, did you eat at noon?" ”
"Not yet, Wen Luo left me one." Xia Linchen turned around and groped all the way, wanting to go to the back kitchen.
Zhong Zhizhi, walked a few steps quickly, chased after him, and saw Xia Linchen touch a bento on the cooking table, and confirmed the location of the microwave oven little by little.
"I'll do it." She took the lunch box from Xia Linchen's hand and put it in the microwave oven on the side to heat it.
Xia Linchen didn't seem to be used to the help of others, and stood there slightly stiff, with an uncertain look in his dark eyes.
But in the end, he thanked him, and since he lost his sight, he has met the kindness and warmth of many people. He's not a person who doesn't know how to be grateful, but he's always uncomfortable.
The air was too quiet, and Zhongyi's gaze involuntarily moved to Xia Linchen, and he felt that it was rude to stare at people, but after thinking about it, he didn't know, so he was relieved to look at it boldly.
Her gaze fell on his hand, the bandages from the first meeting had been removed, leaving some light brown scars, mostly new pink.
"Ahem." Xia Linchen coughed lightly, and out of politeness, he turned his back to Zhong Yi, and avoided her gaze without a trace.
"Ding" sounded, breaking the slight embarrassment in the air, Zhong Yi helped him take it out, and set up the chopsticks again.
"Thank you." Xia Linchen bowed his head politely, his expression was indifferent.
I like to have classes in the afternoon, and after helping Xia Linchen warm up lunch, I said goodbye to him and went back to school.
I like to walk into the bedroom, there is only one person in the small room. Cai Xiaotan, who lived by the window, looked away from the book and smiled at her. Zhong Yi put down his bag and moved a stool to sit beside her. She leaned back in her chair and leaned on it, holding her chin with her arms and asking, "What about the two of them?" ”
"I was called away by the squad leader." Seeing her come over to chat, Cai Xiaotan simply put down the book and concentrated on talking to her, "What about you?" Interested in that beautiful man in the flower shop? ”
In such a harmonious dormitory, Zhongyi has a good relationship with the three of them, but there are differences. For example, there are some things that she will only say to Cai Xiaotan.
So she replied frankly, "yes." ”
Cai Xiaotan didn't say anything else, just asked, "Why?" ”
"I don't know." Zhong Yi shook her head, she hadn't figured it out herself, she thought about it, and said, "I feel like I've seen him somewhere." ”
"The neighbor's little brother?" Cai Xiaotan put forward an idea.
Zhong Yi was amused by her, Cai Xiaotan is a beauty with a literary temperament, quiet, a little mysterious, and sometimes very humorous.
"Maybe I saw it when I was a kid." She said this, and chatted with Cai Xiaotan about other topics.
***
The afternoon class started at half past one, Sister Bao and Duan Xiaolu never returned to the dormitory, Zhong Yi and Cai Xiaotan were used to it, they packed their things and went to the classroom with their bags to occupy a seat.
The professor of this course was very famous, and the two of them arrived not too late, and the first few rows were all occupied.
Cai Xiaotan shrugged his shoulders in favor, found a middle window position, took out the textbooks and notebooks from his schoolbag, and spread them on the table one by one.
After a while, Sister Bao rushed in in a hurry, followed by Duan Xiaolu, who also had an unsightly face.
"What's wrong?" Cai Xiaotan pulled Sister Bao, who was in a hurry and was about to erupt, and asked softly.
Facing the soft Cai Xiaotan, Sister Bao didn't dare to play her trademark big voice, and she struggled for a long time, so she had to be dumbfounded.
Zhong Yi looked at another person with a black face and asked, "Xiaolu, don't be angry first, tell us what's going on." ”
Duan Xiaolu took a few deep breaths before calming down and said, "In next month's fashion design competition, Song Yaling and her sisters want a beautiful man in the flower shop to be a model and attract people's attention." Sister Bao felt that they were disrespectful to Xia Linchen like this, so she quarreled with Song Yaling. ”
The Fashion Design Contest is a tradition of Nanyi, which is held only once a year, and is registered in small groups, with a minimum of two people and a maximum of six people. They have always been a group of four, they didn't participate in the first year they entered the school, they finished fourth the year before, and last year they won the championship with their ingenious design.
Song Yaling was the runner-up last year, and she definitely wants to get back this year, but she didn't expect to come up with such a bad idea.
With Xia Linchen's appearance and figure, he is already the best choice to be a model. Song Yaling also seems to use his shortcomings to win sympathy points, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"I don't think he'll say yes." Zhong Yi said.
***
When it was approaching evening, Zhong wanted to go to the flower shop to find Xia Linchen, invite him to dinner to make amends, and by the way, he inquired about the tone, but before he could act, he received a call from his brother Zhong Yaoyang.
Zhong Yi picked it up with a smile and said with a smile: "Busy man, why did you remember to call me?" ”
"I just got off work, so I'll pick you up for dinner." Taking advantage of the red light, Zhong Yaoyang put on a Bluetooth headset, "There are still twenty minutes to get to the gate of your school." ”
"Oh, good." She didn't ask him why he suddenly asked her for dinner, she knew Zhong Yaoyang and knew that he must have his own reasons for doing things.
Zhong Yaoyang was very punctual, and Zhong Yi saw a familiar car twenty minutes later. After getting into the car, Zhong Yaoyang watched her fasten her seat belt before starting the car smoothly.
When he was not at home, Zhong Yaoyang drove himself, and he liked to see the direction he was driving, not the way home, so he had some guesses in his heart.
"Brother, is it your blind date or me?"
Zhong Yaoyang took the time to look at her, and hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile, but he didn't tell her the answer.
When they arrived at a high-end restaurant, a good-looking waiter led them to the door of the box. As soon as Zhong Yi pushed the door and saw the people inside, he was stunned in place.
Who can tell her that she is here to go on a blind date!
