Chapter Ninety-One: When She Liked Me

Fang Cuilan is a diligent and studious girl, and she has always been at the top of the sublimation class. I used to wonder how such a top student was made, but now, I see her attitude towards learning.

"Mao Xiaoer, can you help me see what is going on with this code?" She sat on my left and called me when I had a problem.

I leaned over and looked at her screen. There's a glaring mistake where she's pointing, and I've encountered it when I'm just learning to code, so I understand why she made that mistake and what she wanted the program to say here.

She had already grasped the pen in her right hand and lay down on the open notebook. As I explained in detail, she took notes very carefully.

The cute notebook in the style of a little girl is already neatly filled with many lines of records. I didn't look very closely, but I could see that it was all what the teacher had talked about these days. I feel like it's all a piece of cake for me, and it's not worth recording at all. For her, every knowledge point may be as precious as a treasure and should be carefully stored.

These days, we eat at noon in the designated canteen in the park. She would sit down with me every day and discuss with me the problems that came to mind during the day's practical training. I've never had a face-to-face meal with a girl like this every day, and it makes me feel like I'm on pins and needles.

I'd rather be alone in a corner and eat silently, so I sometimes find an excuse to stagger the time with her, but she is like a tail that can't be shaken off, always finding me and sitting next to me. Even if she had finished eating, she would sit down in front of me and wait for me after taking the plate to the designated collection point.

At first, I didn't pay much attention to it. But then, I noticed that her eyes sparkled more and more as she looked at me, like a reef bare in the sun after the waves had receded, and the smooth surface was so crystal clear that it seemed that there were countless stories hidden deep in it.

"Are you going to continue your graduate studies here, or are you going to look for a job?" She asked about me.

"I haven't quite figured it out. I didn't want to go to graduate school, but I didn't want to go to graduate school at the time. And now that the school has given us the qualification to protect the research, I think this pie picked up for nothing will not be eaten in vain. ”

"I think with your ability, if you look for a job now, those well-known IT companies must be all right." She smiled, her eyes still shining.

"Haha, thanks for the compliment. You're also very good, I really envy you for having such good grades. ”

"It's all in books, you see the programs you have to encounter in this real work, I basically can't write, haha!" As she spoke, she laughed shyly, and her eyes, which were already small and delicate, narrowed into a slit.

"So are you going to go to graduate school, or are you going to work?"

"Graduate school, of course! I'm not confident going out to work now. ”

"Haha, it's good to stay here for three more years."

"It doesn't have to be here." She retracted her smile and looked thoughtfully into the distance.

"Aren't all in our class able to keep our own school? Are you planning to give up your research qualifications and go to a foreign school? ”

"No, actually, do you know, not only our information sublimation class, but also the sublimation class of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, everyone actually wants to go to a better school that they admire for graduate school. Then, with everyone's hard work, the school agreed to give each sublimation class a place in the outer school. ”

"Then you're trying to get it, Colonel Parole?"

"I really want to go, but ......" She hesitated for a long time and lowered her head silently.

"But what?" I was very puzzled.

"But...... Belch...... But ......" she instantly raised her head again, her cheeks flushed, and continued to me with a smile, "but it's not that easy, just one spot, haha." ”

I smiled back awkwardly. In her gaze, I seemed to see a hope, a hope that overwhelmed me.

I remembered what He Xiaoyu once said, when a girl likes a boy, her eyes will be different.

Fang Cuilan looked at me with a look like those ignorant girls looking at me when the dance troupe was in the dance troupe; It's like when I was at the same table with Yan Jinfeng, she stared at me every time she was amused by me; It's like Qiao Qiao asked me about doing radio, and the way he smiled at me when he handed me the English dictionary after the page that day.

He Xiaoyu said that that is what a girl will look like when she likes a boy, and under the projection of this gaze, my inner reaction is my attitude towards that girl.

I was so proud when the girls of the dance troupe looked at me like that, and I took them under my account like a commander on top; When Yan Jinfeng cast such a gaze at me, I felt very excited, I think it was the most perfect favor of fate for me, I thought that I had become a winner in life, and I would fly with her forever; When Qiao Qiao cast such a gaze at me, I knew that what I liked in my heart was Lin Ximeng, but I was a little moved, and I tried my best to restrain this emotion.

And this kind of look, I only didn't notice it when Lin Ximeng looked at me. I don't know how I would feel if Lin Ximeng looked at me like this one day.

Now, in the face of Fang Cuilan, I actually have a little bit of emotion, and I try my best to restrain this emotion, and I have more reasons to help me restrain such an impulse.

Geng Qiming is my best partner in the class, whether it is under the pressure of public opinion, he is "by" thinking that he likes Fang Cuilan, or he really likes Fang Cuilan, like I used to be ashamed to express in front of everyone, I will not appear between him and Fang Cuilan. On the contrary, I will help him, bless him, and hope that he will break through all the shackles and not repeat my mistakes.

On the other hand, I was the one who was forced to leave my homeland and exiled here. On the road to employment, I will eventually make a different choice from others. So, even if I am willing to accept Fang Cuilan and covet the rest of my time with her in college, then when I graduate, when I am destined to part ways with her, I suddenly look back, isn't it a bamboo basket for nothing?

However, the most important point is that the person I love deeply, the person I think about for a long time, and the person I will always miss in my heart is Lin Ximeng!

Seeing that the day of Qixi Festival was approaching, I looked at the still bright crescent moon in the night sky, which hung quietly in the east, which was also the direction of Lin Ximeng. These days, she should also be interning in a unit she is expecting, she should be happy that she has learned something practical, and she should have noticed the upcoming Tanabata Festival. Will she think of me too?

On the day of Qixi Festival, I couldn't wait to call Lin Ximeng's phone after dinner.

"Dut...... Honk...... "Until ......the system hung up, Lin Ximeng didn't respond.

I sighed softly, not knowing whether to grieve that I didn't connect, or to be glad that I didn't know what to say on the phone. Over the years of liking her, I've never called her on Tanabata. He Xiaoyu encouraged me to seize these important days in order to better harvest the hearts of girls. But now, I've just mustered up the courage to grab such a tail. This is the last Tanabata before graduating from college, and I didn't be able to catch this tail.

Forget it, why do you want to do so much? It's better to wash up and go to bed early, just like usual.

At about eleven o'clock, just as I had just climbed into bed, my phone suddenly rang. I quickly rolled out of bed, picked up my phone, and looked at it, and there was "Lin Xi Dream" written on the screen!

I glanced at the other students in the room, and then rushed out of the dormitory like an arrow, and pressed the call button at the same time:

"Hey, Lin Ximeng!"

"Hey, Little Cat! I just saw your call at night, sorry, the phone has been muted and put in the bag. ”

"Aha, it's okay."

"Is there anything you want me to do?"

"Well, it's nothing particularly important, it's just, care about you." I didn't expect Lin Ximeng to call back, I don't know if I was nervous or excited, I was already incoherent.

"Haha, today is a good day." Lin Ximeng's voice sounded quite relaxed.

"Uh, haha, yes, it's Tanabata."

"So, what kind of blessing do you want to give me?"

"Uh, ah...... Happy Tanabata Festival! "I finally found a corner where I could make phone calls, in front of the windowsill in the stairwell of the dormitory.

"Happy on the Chinese Valentine's Day!"

"Have you been doing an internship lately?" I officially started talking.

"Yes, I did an internship at a bank in Nanjing."

"How does it feel?"

"It's good, I'm a little excited, haha, I'll tell you......"

Through the voice on the phone, I seemed to see Lin Ximeng's face full of sweet smiles, which is her confidence and enthusiasm from the bottom of her heart, and it is the symbol of her most fascination.

Lin Ximeng talked endlessly about the internship experience in the past few days, and I also let go of my inner restraint and described to her my experience of staying in school to participate in the ACM team training in the summer and the current experience of participating in the Android training.

It doesn't matter what I say, the important thing is that what I want to say is said smoothly, and I have had a great summer vacation. What I want to say is actually not important, the important thing is that I learned about Lin Ximeng's life during this time, and her internship life is full of vitality. It wasn't that important to know that she was still single, and the important thing was that I had never been so engaged in talking to her on the phone, so engaged that I had forgotten what time it was and where I was.

I only felt that the phone was getting heavier and heavier, until the arm holding the phone could no longer support it. I switched to holding it in my right hand, only to realize that my left arm was so sore that I lost consciousness.

Then, the right arm became more and more sore, and the pain became more and more painful. I had to bend down and lie down on the low windowsill, finally allowing my arms to rest.

Later, both legs and feet also protested. I ended up sitting on the stairs with my arms resting on my laps and my phone together in my hands.

Outside the window, the crescent moon was long gone, and a few dark clouds wandered leisurely, migrating from one treetop to another.

We talked like this, and neither of us wanted to stop until our eyelids lost their strength.

When the phone finally hung up, the time on the phone was frozen at two o'clock. Oh, my God! I'm not dreaming, I actually talked to Lin Ximeng for more than two hours! It's unprecedented!

I remembered what He Xiaoyu said, when a girl is willing to take the initiative to talk to me so devotedly, it shows that she likes me.

So, am I a success? Today, does it prove that Lin Ximeng likes me? Even if they cross the barrier of space, can the two of them be heart-to-heart with each other and let this relationship continue to heat up?

I held my phone to my chest and closed my eyes. I heard the sound of my heart beating, accompanied by a surging heat, like the sun baking the desert, like a blazing flame spreading over the mountains.

It's so sudden, this happiness!
