16. Don't leave yourself with regrets
Time is like a river, flowing slowly in spacious places and rushing in narrow places.
A semester is not long, but it is quite fast.
The final exam is the most uncomfortable time, and those who have studied seriously are afraid of playing abnormally, and those who have studied seriously are afraid of failing the course.
Li Youbin has nothing to be afraid of the final exam, he never cares about this, whether he does well or not in the exam is the result of his own efforts, and it is a big deal to do well in the next exam.
Of course, Li Youbin is the only one who thinks so.
His roommates were still very afraid of failing the course, so they all went to the library to review the day before the exam, and he was the only one lying in the dormitory playing games.
It's also a headache to play too many games.
Li Youbin felt that his eyes were a little dry, so he thought about buying a bottle of eye drops slowly.
When I went downstairs, I happened to meet Lu Chaoling, and her best friend was with her.
They put their arms around each other, and they seemed to have reconciled.
"Where?" Lu Chaoling also saw Li Youbin.
"Pharmacy."
"What's wrong?"
"Dry eyes, where are you?"
"Climb the mountain, together?"
"Hmm...... All right? Li Youbin glanced at her best friend.
"What's wrong?"
Went to the pharmacy and bought eye drops.
After coming out, he had a meeting with Lu Chaoling and them.
The only places they can go to are near the school, Renshou Mountain, or something.
Renshou Mountain is still quite high.
It is said that it is climbing the mountain, but in fact, it is walking up along the cement road, saying that it is not tired, and it is indeed a bit crazy to say that it is not tired, and it is disrespectful to the mountain.
Lu Chaoling and her best friend can see that they are indeed very tired, girls, they must not be as good as boys.
There is a peach blossom forest on the top of Renshou Mountain, which is a holy place for love, and there are couples everywhere.
It's normal for the two of them to hang around in pairs, but it's not appropriate for them to open this kind of place together, just like Li Youbin and the three of them.
He always felt that there were people around him looking at them with strange eyes, which may also be due to the psychological effect, as the saying goes, "the body is not afraid of the shadow", in fact, the people around him are busy with objects, no one wants to look at them, it is Li Youbin who feels awkward in his heart.
They found a place with fewer people.
"When will your department finish exams?" Lu Chaoling pulled her best friend to sit on the stone bench.
"Number ten." Li Youbin leaned aside.
"I'll go back after the exam?"
"Or else?"
"Don't you like me and don't plan to stay with me more?"
"Can you be my girlfriend with you?"
"I can't."
"That's not the end of it."
Sometimes when talking to Lu Chaoling about this, Li Youbin is always panicked in his heart, and people who obviously have a good impression of each other don't agree.
He always had a question, he knew that Lu Chaoling also had feelings for him, but he didn't understand why she kept rejecting him.
This situation makes him feel like a spare tire raised by the heroine in many dog-blood dramas, even if he knows very well that Lu Chao is not that kind of person, but he is always a little uncomfortable.
After being silent for a long time, Li Youbin spoke.
"What about you, when will the exam be over?"
"We finished the exam on the nineth, but I don't plan to go back, I want to play for a few more days."
"Dormitory 15 will not be allowed to live in."
"Then the fourteenth will go."
"You're really good at counting time."
Lu Chaoling's best friend looks like a very quiet girl, with loose hair and glasses, sitting quietly next to her to watch Lu Chaoling and Li Youbin chatting.
Maybe in her eyes, the relationship between Li Youbin and Lu Chaoling is also very funny, just like the smile on the corner of her mouth.
From the eyes of a bystander, the relationship between the two is indeed quite strange, obviously in love, one dare not say it seriously, and the other never listens carefully.
Words like love in their mouths are like jokes, saying that they just listen to them, and never take them to heart.
Just like Li Youbin often said that he likes Lu Chaoling, he is sincere, Lu Chaoling may think that he is joking, or forcibly make herself feel that he is joking, and jokes are easier for her to accept.
"You two are so weird." Lu Chaoling's best friend listened to the conversation between the two and said such a sentence.
"What's weird?" Lu Chaoling and Li Youbin looked at her best friend together.
"It's a lot like a couple, but it's not a couple."
"Like?" Lu Chaoling looked at Li Youbin, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds and both smiled.
"Like!"
In the eyes of outsiders, they are lovers, but in their own eyes, they seem to be missing something.
Lack of feeling? No, both of them have feelings for each other.
Lack of tacit understanding? No, they can all say the same thing sometimes.
What can be missing? There's nothing more missing. They really have all the conditions that all couples have, and they really don't have much to do except kiss and haven't slept with each other.
It's like a pair of lovers.
Every time Li Youbin wanted to speak and stopped, he wanted to confess to Lu Chaoling seriously. But he couldn't guess her heart, and he was afraid that he would completely lose her after he took action.
People who have been emotionally hurt will be cautious when they encounter them again in the future, for fear of repeating the same mistakes.
Li Youbin's idea is: Either they have always been friends, or they have always been lovers, don't be lovers first and then become friends, can such friends still be considered friends?
When Lu Chaoling was hungry when he played until more than seven o'clock in Renshou Mountain, several people left the mountain.
A new noodle shop has opened near the school, called "Zangzi Mixed Noodles".
Li Youbin took Lu Chaoling and them to this store.
The name of this shop is really interesting, because there is really only one kind of food in their store, "Zangzi noodles".
This is very strange, after all, people will always get tired of eating more than one kind of food, and it is difficult to attract customers with just one type of food. Just like the beef noodle restaurant below, although the name is beef noodle restaurant, there are still a lot of types of noodles in it, such as fried noodles and dry mixes.
The service attitude of the noodle restaurant is still very good, it may also be because it has just opened, and someone will bring you tea and pour water when you eat in the store, which is really much better than other points nearby.
The noodles in the noodles are pork.
Because there are a lot of Hui people in Lanzhi, they almost monopolize the catering industry, and even the school canteen is cooked by Hui people.
It is very difficult to eat pork here, and sometimes I don't even dare to ask if there is pork when I enter the store, for fear of being embarrassed by the Hui boss.
This meal is still quite comfortable, after all, I haven't seen pork in half a year.
After coming out, Lu Chaoling answered the phone and went back.
Before leaving, he put his hand on Li Youbin's shoulder and whispered something into his ear.
"Don't leave yourself with regrets."
Li Youbin bought a bottle of water, squatted on the side of the road and drank water, watching Lu Chaoling's gradually blurred back, and pondering the meaning of her words.
