Chapter 70: The First Day After the Separation
The next day was the time for Xi Zimo to sign up, and he didn't let his family accompany him. Because if it weren't for Ji Lingbai, then the others would be no different.
Xi Zimo's high school was originally a direct high school of their junior high school, so he said that his family didn't pay much attention to it when he went. However, what I didn't expect was that Xi Zimo actually enrolled himself in the school.
"Mom, I signed up for the school. Xi Zimo announced the news when he went home.
"Oh. Ling Manlan didn't react at first, "What did you say?
Xi Zimo nodded, "Yes." ”
"You ......" Ling Manlan suddenly didn't know what to say, "Have you discussed it with anyone?"
"I'm just living on campus, do I need to talk to anyone? It's not a big deal. Xi Zimo couldn't quite understand Ling Manlan's thoughts.
"When your dad comes back, you talk to him. ”
Xi Zimo didn't understand why his mother reacted so much to just such a trivial matter as living in school.
"I disagree, he never lived outside. And what if he's bullied at school?"
"He's grown up and should try to be independent on his own. After all, he will always have to be alone in the future. ”
Xi Zimo didn't expect that his parents would quarrel over their own affairs.
It is precisely because the relationship between Xi Junhan and Ling Manlan has always been very stable, and they have never blushed. Now that he has quarreled because of his own affairs, Zimo feels very sorry not to go.
"Dad, Mom. Don't argue, I've already decided to live on campus. And I'm grown up, you don't have to worry. ”
Ling Manlan still wanted to persuade Xi Zimo. "Zimo, school is not as comfortable as at home, those boys often throw socks everywhere, and they don't take a bath for several days, can you bear it?"
Xi Zimo couldn't laugh or cry a little, "Mom, where did you hear the gossip? The current students are very qualified, and the things you said basically won't happen." ”
Ling Manlan didn't speak, but she still didn't look convinced.
"Dad, you ......" Xi Zimo was quite afraid that his father would compromise with his mother.
Xi Junhan patted Xi Zimo's shoulder, "Don't worry, your father supports you." Boys still have to be independent early, and it is a blessing to suffer. ”
Xi Zimo didn't know whether to be moved or what, why did the family feel that they would suffer?
Ji Lingbai still doesn't know the situation here in Xi Zimo, because she didn't sleep well the day before, she got up a little late today.
And it was Ding Caixia who brought back breakfast and told her to wake up when she had breakfast to eat.
"Why do you get up so early?" Ji Lingbai remembered that college students would get up very late.
Ding Caixia remembered the days when she was scolded by two other roommates when she first woke up early, "Did I wake you up?"
Ji Lingbai was the first person she had shown kindness to her since she went to college, and she didn't want to lose this friend.
"No, I just don't think there are many college students who get up so early. ”
Knowing that Ji Lingbai was not complaining about herself, Ding Caixia was a lot more relaxed. "That's good. I'm also used to it, and I can't lose when I get up at home at this time. ”
The food at Kyoto University is still very good, at least what Ding Caixia bought for Ji Lingbai today is very suitable for Ji Lingbai's appetite.
"Did you eat in the school cafeteria all this time?"
Ding Caixia nodded, and then realized that Ji Lingbai was eating, and she shouldn't have seen it.
"Yes, because the food in the school cafeteria is cheaper. Ding Caixia did not avoid Ji Lingbai.
Ji Lingbai has long had a basic guess about Ding Caixia's family background, but now it has just been confirmed. So she didn't have much of a reaction either.
After eating, the two were about to go to the library to have a look, when Ji Lingbai's mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Hey, Mother Ling, good afternoon!" Although he didn't know why Ling Manlan called him, Ji Lingbai still happily picked up the phone and greeted the other party.
"I'm not good at all now, your brother Zimo is going to make me angry to death. Ling Manlan said her purpose without any scruples.
"Zimo, what did he do. Ji Lingbai was a little curious, Xi Zimo has always been the one who makes the family feel at ease the most, what would he do to make Ling's mother so angry?
He didn't discuss it with anyone, and signed up for the school by himself. ”
Ji Lingbai never thought that what Ling Manlan was going to tell him was actually about this matter.
But he didn't expect that Xi Zimo would actually go to live in the school by himself, did I force him too hard? Ji Lingbai began to doubt himself.
"Mother Ling, Zimo is already so old, he should have his own ideas, and we still have to support him. Ji Lingbai was not by Xi Zimo's side, so he could only say that.
She hadn't spoken for a long time, in fact, Ling Manlan didn't know about it, but she was still reluctant.
"Hey, Mother Ling, I'll call Zimo later to talk about him, don't be too anxious. ”
Ling Manlan simply agreed, in fact, she also knew that Ji Lingbai's words might not work, because she had already found many people to persuade Xi Zimo, but Xi Zimo was determined to live in the school, and it was useless for anyone to say anything.
Hanging up the phone, Ji Lingbai was a little depressed, she didn't think that Xi Zimo would prove herself like this because she thought he was still young.
"Ling Bai, what's wrong?" Ding Caixia is actually not a person who likes to take care of other people's affairs, but she still wants to know more about Ji Lingbai.
Ji Lingbai shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that my younger brother is going to live and study, and the family is not at ease." ”
"Your brother is so old, still don't you feel at ease to live and study?" Ding Caixia was a little surprised. Many of their students have been living in schools since elementary school.
Ji Lingbai was a little helpless, "Our side is different, and I am also living on campus for the first time now." ”
"That's it?" Ding Caixia nodded, "It's okay, you can ask me if you don't understand anything, I have many years of experience in living and studying." ”
Ji Lingbai laughed, "Okay, there must be something to trouble you." ”
The two went to the cafeteria together as they spoke. Kyoto University's cafeteria is generally quite acceptable, both in terms of price and quality.
Until it was dark, Ji Lingbai still didn't know how to persuade Xi Zimo. But the hand still dialed the familiar number uncontrollably.
"Zimo, I heard Ling's mother say that you signed up for the school?"
Xi Zimo was very happy when he answered the phone, but he didn't expect Ji Lingbai to call him for this question.
Today, I listened to too many remarks that I would not be able to stand and read, "Why, do you think I can't endure that suffering?
Ji Lingbai, who didn't know how to answer, suddenly clarified his attitude when he heard the other party's words.
"What do you want? Of course I'm rooting for you!"
Since you can't give him the company you want, give him the support he wants. This at least proves that the two are of the same mind.
"Really, Ling Bai, you support me. Xi Zimo was a little surprised, he had heard too much opposition this day.
Ji Lingbai smiled, "Of course, Zimo, whatever decision you make, I will support you." ”
Xi Zimo finally showed his first smile of the day. "Ling Bai, it's great that you can support me. After a pause, Xi Zimo continued, "Ling Bai, do you know, if even you object, I really don't know what to do. ”
Ji Lingbai didn't know, but she could understand it. Because she, like each other, sees each other's thoughts more than anyone else.
"By the way, Ling Bai, have you eaten?"
The topic of the two is finally not so tense and returns to a normal state.
"I just went to the cafeteria with your sister Caixia to eat. ”
"Well, what are you doing now?" I don't know if all long-distance couples ask this.
Although it feels a little redundant, I still want to know all the movements of the other party.
Ji Lingbai smiled, "Didn't do anything, didn't I call you again?"
Xi Zimo laughed twice, and also felt that his question was a little redundant.
Ji Lingbai suddenly remembered that Xi Zimo seemed to be going to participate in military training tomorrow.
"Zimo, it's going to be military training tomorrow, you remember to rest early, and you have to prepare sunscreen......" I was obviously very casual during my military training, but when I met Xi Zimo's military training, I couldn't wait to tell the other party everything I knew.
Xi Zimo listened carefully and gave a response from time to time. Before I knew it, the two talked until late.
Seeing Ding Caixia come out after taking a shower, Ji Lingbai took a look at the time and found that it was very late.
"Zimi, it's late, you still have military training tomorrow, go to bed. ”
"What about you?" Xi Zimo asked Ji Lingbai rhetorically.
"I'll go to sleep right away, too. ”
There was silence on both ends of the phone, and no one wanted to be the one who hung up first.
"Zimo, hang up the phone. ”
"You hang. Xi Zimo didn't listen to Ji Lingbai's words.
Ji Lingbai still felt that the other party should rest early, "Then, I'll hang up, you go to bed early." ”
After speaking, he hung up the phone, and even heard only half of the last sentence of the other party. Restraining the idea of beating over, Ji Lingbai got up and went to the bathroom.
Lying on the bed, Ji Lingbai felt that today's day had finally passed, and the first day without Xi Zimo was very unaccustomed.
Ji Lingbai turned over in bed for a long time, not knowing when he fell asleep.
"Zimo. Ji Lingbai woke up calling Xi Zimo's name, only to realize that Xi Zimo was no longer by his side.
"Ling Bai, are you okay. You seem to have slept late last night. ”
Ji Lingbai nodded, "It's the first time I've slept at school, I'm not used to it." In fact, this is only part of the reason, and the most critical problem is that Xi Zimo is not by his side.
Ding Caixia didn't think about it so much, she just thought that Ji Lingbai was not used to it. "That's fine, I got used to it after a few days of sleep, and I wasn't used to it the first time I slept either. ”
Ji Lingbai nodded and did not speak.
