19. The Sacred Ivory Tower
Zhang Nanyan walked all the way and asked all the way, and finally found the dormitory building.
She asked the dormitory manager aunt to find Teacher Lin, and the dormitory manager broadcast for a long time without anyone answering.
"Oh, come to think of it, they went out together in the dormitory just now." The dormitory manager said, "You can come back later." ”
Zhang Nanyan walked out of the dormitory building and sat on the side of the road in front of the dormitory building.
From evening to dark, Zhang Nanyan looked at every student who returned to the dormitory, for fear of missing Teacher Lin.
It was almost twelve o'clock, and the number of people on campus was gradually decreasing, and the lights in the dormitory buildings were all turned off.
The heat had not yet dissipated, and mosquitoes were buzzing under the street lights.
Without the students coming and going on campus, it's a rare quiet time of the day.
Zhang Nanyan sat alone on the stone bench on the side of the road, and couldn't help but be a little scared.
From J City to the capital, she has always been in the crowd, in a noisy environment, in the face of strangers of all shapes, she will be nervous and defensive, but the crowd will also give her courage. Now, the surroundings were quiet, and she was the only one left.
Before, so many bad things happened, Zhang Nanyan had a thought to go to the capital and find Teacher Lin. At this moment, she thought for the first time, what if she couldn't find Teacher Lin? What if Ms. Lin happens to have gone somewhere else, or even if he has left the capital, or if she remembers the wrong address? There is a vast sea of people, what if she can't find Teacher Lin?
Teacher Lin hoped that she would be admitted to university, but she didn't even take the college entrance examination. What face did she have to meet Teacher Lin? Mr. Lin will definitely be disappointed.
She is just a mountain person who graduated from high school, and she has no ability to stand in a city full of college students, she will only drag Teacher Lin down......
The more Zhang Nanyan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the more she thought about it, the more desperate she became.
"Meow~"
A cat meow sounded not far away.
Zhang Nanyan was startled and looked over. I saw a fat cat standing in the grass, staring at Zhang Nanyan.
"It's you, why don't you come home so late?" Zhang Nanyan said softly.
The fat cat looked at Zhang Nanyan, walked over arrogantly, and lay down not far from Zhang Nanyan.
"Are you here to accompany me? You're so nice. ”
The fat cat lies on the ground and purrs.
……
I don't know what time it is, Zhang Nanyan was groggy, her eyes were half-closed and half-open.
A faint voice came.
"Tsk, Lin Dong, you are really ruthless, Miss Jiang has drunk like that, and you don't feel distressed?"
"What nonsense, Jiang Ling is about to go abroad."
"Play stupid! Play stupid again! Who doesn't know that she likes you, I see, this going abroad is the law of agitation. ”
"You're stupid, you're still agitated! What a good thing it is to go abroad, we don't have that fate! ”
“…… Dongdong, don't go, I want you to send me ......" A boy pinched his voice and pretended to lean on another boy: "Haha, you still say that she is not interesting to you?" They all hugged it on the spot and didn't let go. ”
"Get out of the way!"
The sound of laughter and scolding is getting closer and closer.
Zhang Nanyan opened her eyes with a thrill.
She saw four boys walking shoulder to shoulder on the road not far away.
One of the boys, tall and thin, wearing a shirt and jeans, walked in a very straight posture, and was the most conspicuous compared to the other three swaying boys.
Zhang Nanyan opened her mouth, but her throat was blocked, and she didn't scream when she opened her mouth for the first time.
He approached, the smile on his face was bright and clear, his smile was as warm as ever, and a little more youthful than he remembered.
Zhang Nanyan swallowed her saliva, her mouth was extremely dry, and she finally called out softly: "Teacher Lin......"
"Hahaha...... Just your kid has a lot of peach blossoms......"
"Go back to sleep, I'm sleepy." ……
The boy in the shirt suddenly stopped and asked suspiciously, "Hey, how did I hear someone call me?" ”
"Drunk, who is there in the middle of the night! At this moment, Jiang Ling must be calling you...... Dong Dong ...... ...... Building"
"Go aside!" Lin Dong pushed his companion.
"Teacher Lin!" Zhang Nanyan raised her voice and shouted again.
Lin Dong followed the sound and finally saw Zhang Nanyan standing next to the small garden.
Lin Dong was stunned.
"I'll go! There really is a girl, it shouldn't be a Chinese ghost story! ”
Zhang Nanyan took two steps forward excitedly, and then stopped timidly: "Teacher Lin, it's me." ”
Lin Dong was a little in a hurry, he straightened his clothes and combed his hair before running over: "Zhang Nanyan, when did you come?" ”
"It's in the afternoon."
"It's so late, why are you here?" Lin Dong suddenly thought of something: "You won't be waiting for me here all the time, will you?" ”
Zhang Nanyan didn't want him to worry, so she hurriedly said, "Aunt Dormitory said that you went out to eat, so I'll wait here for a while." ”
"You silly girl, how long have you been waiting? Have you eaten? Tired or not? Sleepy or not? Lin Dong asked repeatedly, very annoyed: "Why don't you find a place to rest first, just wait so stupidly." ”
"I'm not hungry, I'm not tired, I've been sitting here resting for a long time." Zhang Nanyan explained in a panic that she didn't want to cause trouble to Teacher Lin, but wasn't her arrival the biggest trouble?
Zhang Nanyan felt extremely guilty.
"This beauty, shouldn't you be called Xiaoqian?" The other three boys came up, and one of them, the one with peach blossom eyes, asked.
Zhang Nanyan paused for a moment, she didn't understand why they said that: "My name is not Xiaoqian, my name is Zhang Nanyan." ”
"Xiaoyan......" Peach Blossom Eyes dragged a long voice, and the boys laughed.
Recently, there was a Hong Kong movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" that was very popular in universities, and the boys all regarded the heroine Xiao Qian as the goddess of their dreams, and they joked that Zhang Nanyan came from this allusion.
"Stop making a fuss." Lin Dong recovered from the shock of the first meeting and stopped his companion from making fun of Zhang Nanyan.
"They are my classmates, Hu Zhiyong, Sui Yang, he is Wu Zheng." Lin Dong pointed to his companions one by one and introduced them to Zhang Nanyan.
Zhang Nanyan smiled at them shyly.
Lin Dong's mind was blank, and there was a sweat in his palm: "It's so late, think about it first, and find a place for Nanyan to rest first." ”
Wu Zheng, who talked the most, ridiculed Zhang Nanyan's peach blossom eyes called Xiaoqian, and said: "What's so difficult about this, go to the hotel to open a room." ”
Lin Dong immediately said, "No! ”
"Why not? Don't you have to find a hotel for accommodation? Wu Zheng pointed at Lin Dong with a playful smile: "Oh, the heart is empty, the heart is empty, Lin Dong, what do you want?" ”
Lin Dong pushed Wu Zheng's hand away: "Nanyan is a girl, it's not safe to live in a hotel. Bai Jing and the others should have just arrived at the dormitory, so I went to them and asked Nanyan to spend the night in their dormitory. ”
Wu Zheng shook his head and gave a thumbs up: "Lin Dong, you are really good!" New love, old love together! ”
"What nonsense! It's better than going to a hotel! You go back first, I'll take Nanyan to the women's bed. ”
With that, Lin Dong picked up Zhang Nanyan and left.
Zhang Nanyan hurriedly looked back, she wanted to say hello to the fat cat, only to find that the fat cat didn't know when it had left.
"Thank you for being with me and getting a good night's sleep." Zhang Nanyan said to the fat cat in her heart, she was reluctant and confused, but she was full of hope for the future.
Zhang Nanyan was pulled by Lin Dong and walked briskly.
Lin Dong was tall and long-legged, and his steps were fast and big. She followed, trotting to keep up.
After a while, Zhang Nanyan was so tired that she was panting.
Lin Dong heard Zhang Nanyan's gasp, and then he reacted and stopped.
"I'm sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry. You're tired, take a rest. Lin Dong said with a smile.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw that he was still holding Zhang Nanyan's wrist, and immediately let go. Lin Dong was annoyed in his heart, what was wrong with him? Incoherent and at a loss, the tall image of being a teacher erected in front of Nanyan before can be regarded as a collapse.
Where could Zhang Nanyan see Lin Dong's nervousness, she was really so nervous that her hands and feet were numb and her mouth was dry.
"I'm fine...... I can keep ......up," she said cautiously while panting rapidly, for fear of causing trouble to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong secretly relieved his tension and said with a smile: "Then let's go, it's late, I'm afraid they will all sleep." ”
"Hmm."
The two of them walked through the campus late at night and walked towards the women's dormitory.
