Barbecue restaurant entrance.

Shi Nuannuan looked at the flashing neon signs across the street, and said in a calm tone: "Senior, is there something wrong?" ”

"I'm sorry to bother you so late." Lin Shunian's gentle voice came, "Are you outside the school?" It seems that the sound is a bit noisy. ”

"Well, come out for dinner."

"That's ......" Although Lin Shunian wanted to know where she was, he was very smart and changed the topic at the right time, "Just now Mr. Guo sent me a message from the publishing house, about two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, you shouldn't have a class, right?" ”

She thought for a moment: "Yes, I don't have a class tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Then I'll wait for you downstairs in the dormitory at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon, okay? It would be better to go a little earlier. Lin Shunian asked for her opinion.

"Okay, I got it. Thank you seniors for your message. ”

"You're welcome." Lin Shunian's heart was a little lost in his politeness to her, but he was still as considerate and gentlemanly as ever, "Then I won't bother you first, but the outer circle of the university town is not safe, remember to go back to school early, if you have something, you can call me." ”

"I know, thank you, senior, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Nuannuan returned to the store, and Qin Anan had already stuffed the last string of chicken tips into his mouth.

"Finished eating?"

"Uh-huh, I'm full!"

She looked at her bulging cheeks amusedly: "Why don't you spit out bones?" ”

"Bah, bah, ......" Qin An'an spit out a pile of bones completely, and said quite proudly, "Look! A stunt I've mastered! ”

"Poof......

"Haha......"

Shi Nuan and Shi Feng couldn't help laughing.

"You two laugh at me!" She pretended to glare at the two of them, wiped her mouth and got up to leave.

"I'll pay for it." Shi Nuan Nuan took out her wallet.

Unexpectedly, the boss who passed by their table pointed to Shi Feng behind her, and said with a smile: "This handsome guy has already paid the bill, you are welcome to come again next time!" ”

Shi Nuannuan frowned and said, "Brother Shi Feng, how can I make you pay?" ”

Anyway, he was also invited by the two of them, and it was as if they wanted someone to pay for it.

"It's okay, I haven't invited you to dinner for a long time, so let me invite you to this meal."

Shi Feng spoke very confidently today, because he hid from his family and took another job, and he could earn an extra 1,500 yuan a month, just to be able to have money to invite Shi Nuannuan to have a meal and watch a movie or something.

However, he didn't plan to tell her about it, because he knew her character and didn't want her to be psychologically burdened and refuse his chance to get close to her.

"Then I'll treat you to dinner another day." Shi Nuannuan was no longer hypocritical, put away her wallet and said.

"Okay." He replied cheerfully.

The result was even better than he expected.

The three of them walked back to the school slowly, and when they were about to arrive at the school gate, Qin An'an saw a figure in front of him with sharp eyes, and shouted, "Senior Lin!" ”

Lin Shunian was carrying a plastic bag from a convenience store, looking as if he had just returned to school from outside.

"An An, Nuan Nuan, such a coincidence." He smiled and turned around, and at a glance saw the boy who was following Shi Nuannuan, "Who is this?" ”

"It's my cousin." Shi Nuannuan explained simply.

Lin Shunian showed a sudden realization: "I have the impression that I have seen it a few times in the past two years, right?" ”

"Hmm." The wind is unfamiliar and responds.

Although his reaction was very calm, there was a trace of vigilance against him in his heart - he had just spoken to Nuan Nuan on the phone, and now he met at the school gate, there was such a coincidence?

"There were a few people in the dormitory playing games, and if they lost, they had to go out to buy snacks for them to eat, but unfortunately I lost, so I just came back from the supermarket outside." His explanation was flawless, "Did you just finish eating it too?" ”

"Well, we're going back to the dorm too." Shi Nuannuan said, turned back to Shi Feng and said, "Brother Shi Feng, it's not too early, you don't have to go in, go back early, be careful on the road." ”

"Shall I take you downstairs in the dormitory?" Shifeng wants to give it an extra ride.

"It's okay, I'll just send them downstairs to the dormitory, and it's a drop by with my dormitory." Lin Shunian walked over as he spoke, and naturally stood beside Shi Nuannuan.

It seems a bit deliberate to stay again, although Shi Feng is unwilling, he can only nod: "Okay, then I'll come to you next time." ”

Shi Nuannuan nodded, watching him leave, while Qin Anan on the side had a thoughtful expression.

After the two returned to the dormitory, they were about to wash, Qin Anan asked casually, "Nuan Nuan, does Brother Shi Feng have a girlfriend?" ”

Shi Nuannuan replied while taking off her shoes: "I haven't heard of it, and my uncle doesn't allow him to fall in love." ”

Qin Anan leaned over and asked, "No, he's a junior, and he is not allowed to have a girlfriend?" Wouldn't it be even more impossible to find this after graduation! ”

"How can it be so exaggerated......" she couldn't help but laugh.

"There's a scientific basis for that!" Qin Anan said, returned to his bedside, thinking about his various performances during the meal just now, and the guess in his heart became clearer and clearer.

She always felt that Shi Feng's eyes were very different when he looked at Shi Nuan, and it didn't look like the relationship between brothers and sisters on the surface. It's also possible that she's overhearted, but if it's true......

Boys' dormitory.

Lin Shunian returned to the bedroom with the bag, poured the snacks on the table, and said to the others: "I bought food, come and get it myself." ”

"Heh, Chairman Lin is so generous today!" A boy on the top bunk jumped down.

"So much to eat!"

"Thanks!"

Lin Shunian smiled and didn't say much, but everyone in the same bedroom could see that he was in a good mood.

"Is there anything good?"

"Nothing."

Naturally, he wouldn't tell others about his little thoughts, such as that he deliberately went to the supermarket to buy something, and then wandered back and forth at the school gate, just for those few minutes of chance encounter.

He was already happy because he could feel the relationship between him and her slowly getting closer.

The next day, Shi Nuannuan and Qin Anan finished lunch in the cafeteria, put down the tray and walked out, when they happened to meet a group of people walking in, they were wearing uniform sweatshirts and shorts, sweating profusely, full of youthful atmosphere and vitality, which attracted a lot of discussion and attention from girls.

"Warm!" Jiang Liequan squeezed out of the crowd with a basketball in his arms and ran to the two of them, "Are you done eating?" ”

"Well, are you just out of class?"

"There's been a basketball league lately, so I've been training intensively." Jiang Liequan looked very excited, because he hadn't seen Shi Nuan Nuan for many days, "Do you want us to go out for dessert?" I heard that a new dessert shop has opened, and it looks delicious. ”

Before Shi Nuannuan could answer, a few boys next to him laughed and came up to tease him-

"Yo, why didn't I know you liked sweets?"

"Is it because of the two big beauties in front of you? Hahaha......"

"I usually see you serious, why do you have a flammy tongue when you see a beautiful woman? Ready to go on a date? ”

"Go, go, don't talk nonsense!" He slapped them back and told them to go away.

"Oops, shy, aren't you? Hey hey ......"

A few people walked away with a strange smile.

Jiang Liequan blasted them away, and explained to Shi Nuannuan embarrassedly: "Don't listen to their nonsense, they are so stinky and virtuous!" ”

"It's okay, I see that your relationship is quite good."

Shi Nuannuan sometimes envies the friendship between boys, which can always be established so quickly, unlike herself, and even the girls in the class are not familiar with each other.

"Boys, it's ready in a minute." He scratched his head and wiped the sweat from his face, "Shall we go out now?" ”

"I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't go." She raised the file bag in her hand.

Jiang Liequan was obviously a little disappointed: "Ah, that's ......."

Qin Anan interjected at this time: "Hey, I'm fine in the afternoon, I'll go with you!" ”

At this point, Jiang Liequan was embarrassed to refuse her, not to mention that she was still a good friend of Shi Nuannuan, and it might be beneficial to him to have a good relationship with her.

"Okay, then you wait for me to finish eating."

"Uh-huh!" Qin Anan nodded wildly.

So, Shi Nuannuan said goodbye to the two of them at the door of the cafeteria, walked back to the dormitory downstairs along the path, and saw Lin Shunian waiting there under the willow tree at the door of the dormitory from a distance.

"Senior." She stepped forward, "Excuse me, have you waited a long time?" ”

"I've just arrived, too." Lin Shunian looked at the direction she was coming from, smiled slightly, and looked gentle, "Did you just finish eating?" I knew I would have asked you to have dinner with me. ”

"Next time, I'll have a chance."

"Well, let's go, then."

"Okay."

Lin Shunian looked youthful wearing a white T-shirt, a light blue casual shirt and jeans, and white sneakers on his feet. It just so happened that Shi Nuan Nuan was wearing a light blue dress and white shoes, which looked very much like a couple's outfit.

The two walked side by side on the road, and met many people who knew Lin Shunian, and after they said hello, they would take a few more glances at Shi Nuannuan beside him, and their eyes were meaningful.

A few dared to ask, "Shu Nian, who is this?" ”

Although Lin Shunian explained that she was a senior sister, she did not draw a clear line, obviously they didn't believe in a simple relationship between seniors and sisters, so they were still talking to each other until they were far away.

"I'm sorry, it's all people I know, and they're joking."

"It's okay." She replied with a faint smile.

Seeing that she really didn't seem to be affected, Lin Shunian felt a faint loss in his heart.

I took a taxi at the school gate, because it was not the rush hour, so I arrived at the door of Ziyang Publishing House about half an hour later.

The building is very ordinary, and the style is also very simple, with gray walls and brown window frames, giving people a serious attitude. Although it has been renovated once, it was already fifteen years ago, and the two of them walked on the cement road, feeling a little nervous and nervous.

Lin Shunian looked at the watch on his wrist and said to her, "Although there are still twenty minutes left, let's go in early, right?" ”

"Okay."

After all, it is they who have a request for the publishing house, and it is basic etiquette to arrive early.

They went to the doorman to register their visit and then walked into the publishing house.

The front desk asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Hello, we have an appointment for Lu Xinchen and Lu Editor-in-Chief Lu to meet at two o'clock in the afternoon."

The front desk looked down and flipped through the information: "Yes, but he has something to go out and hasn't come back yet, so you can wait in the hall first." ”

"Okay, thanks."

The hall was full of people, it was very lively, they found a secluded place to sit down, and watched many people run to the front desk to consult, some were invited into the office, and some people, like them, could only wait in the hall.

However, fortunately, there is air conditioning in the room, so it is not too difficult.

Towards two o'clock, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses walked in with a black briefcase, and asked what he was doing when he passed by the front desk, and the front desk staff pointed in their direction.

So, the man walked up to them: "You are the students that Teacher Guo said, right?" ”

"Yes, hello!" Lin Shunian got up and shook hands with him, "My name is Lin Shunian." ”

Shi Nuannuan also got up and politely bowed slightly to him: "Hello, my name is Shi Nuannuan." ”

"The editor who was in charge of your essay collection last time has left, and now I'll take over, come with me." He briefly explained the situation and looked busy.

The three of them took the next elevator up to the fifth floor, passed through the staff who came and went, and followed him into his office.

He poured two glasses of boiled water and handed them to them, put down the briefcase in his hand while turning on the computer, and took out a large stack of materials from it: "I read a little bit of the essay collection last time, and your writing is good." ”

"Thank you."

Lu Xinchen raised his hand to stop his words, held his glasses, and continued: "I don't know how your teacher Guo talked to the previous editor-in-chief, maybe he promised you to reprint the essay collection, but I don't agree with this matter. ”
