Chapter 5, Soochow University

In the long alley of the night cage, rows of high eaves and low walls are quietly hidden in the night, and the stone road reflects the moonlight and shimmers with silver dew and extends into the distance.

Lin Zhibai, who was walking on the bluestone road, listened to the hustle and bustle passing by, and his heart was delicate.

Seeing Qin Ruyue again, she didn't seem to be as angry as she imagined.

It seems that seeing this familiar face, the knot of so many years of heart disappeared in an instant.

In fact, Lin Zhibai understood in his heart.

The fault is not Qin Ruyue, nor is it herself.

It's just that the throbbing of youth in his youth has been wrongly paid.

I like you as a very catchy word.

But just because I like you doesn't mean you have to like me.

Seeking perfection or pleasing in every possible way is wishful thinking on your own.

If that's the case, it doesn't seem fair to want a positive response from your sweetheart.

It's hard to settle.

But what is really difficult is the self-esteem of his youth.

After all, it's been many, many years.

—————

Back at the apartment, the figure downstairs had disappeared.

Lin Zhibai returned home.

After a light wash, go to bed.

In the past few days since he was reborn, he has gradually developed the habit of going to bed early and waking up early.

The main thing is also that there are no particularly interesting entertainments.

You can't go clubbing or play games all night, right?

These have long been tired of Lin Zhibai.

……

Following.

After waking up, Lin Zhibai put on his clothes and went out for a morning run.

The running section is about 5 kilometers from the community to the basketball court.

Once you are familiar with this rhythm, you can gradually increase the intensity.

Jogging all the way to the basketball court, Lin Zhibai saw Zhao Chanyi again.

After all, you can't ignore it if you want to.

The sky is slightly bright, and the morning light is slightly rippling.

She wore short sleeves and carried stone bricks on the construction site.

Lin Zhibai didn't make a sound to disturb, but sat on the bench and looked at her quietly.

When Zhao Chanyi's eyes came over, Lin Zhibai smiled and said hello, and then walked over.

"Why did you come here so early?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chanyi raised his wrist and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and replied lightly.

"Finish it early and rest for a while."

"Otherwise, it will get hotter and hotter after eight o'clock."

Lin Zhibai thought to himself.

Summers in Tin City are really hot.

Around eight o'clock in the morning, the temperature in the air increased at a terrifying rate.

At that time, it was normal for people to work on the surface and not prepare for heat stroke if they did not have the appropriate heatstroke prevention.

Not to mention doing such strenuous physical work on a construction site.

In fact, Lin Zhibai was quite curious.

Even if Zhao Chanyi's family is poor, she obviously has other ways to make money, why would a girl choose to work on the construction site.

Of course, Lin Zhibai just thought about it in his heart, and he didn't ask these words out loud without a sense of boundary, but smiled.

"Zhao Chanyi, I'm going to school tomorrow to fill in the volunteers, which school are you going to apply for?"

"Soochow University."

Zhao Chanyi didn't think twice.

Su Da?

Hearing this answer, Lin Zhibai's heart froze.

In his previous life, he accompanied Qin Ruyue to apply for the Modu Finance exam.

Originally, Soochow University was also one of his choices, and he liked Suzhou very much, but in order to accompany Qin Ruyue, he finally gave up this choice.

And now.

Lin Zhibai naturally will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Smiling, Lin Zhibai quipped.

"Su University, then we are likely to become alumni in the future."

Well?

Zhao Chanyi was stunned and rolled his eyes, and then said curiously.

"Are you going to go to school at Su University too?"

"yes."

Lin Zhibai talked exaggeratedly.

"Suzhou is not far from Xicheng, and it is only 20 minutes away by train."

"The most important thing is that I like the pace of life in Suzhou very much, not in a hurry, not as fast as the magic capital, not as impatient as Xicheng, and Suzhou has the most famous gardens in the world, I have been talking about it, and I have long wanted to see it."

"I guess you also applied for Su University for these reasons, right?"

"No, because my dad works in Suzhou, I want to go to him."

Ha?

The atmosphere was awkward all of a sudden.

Fortunately, Zhao Chanyi did not continue to delve into this topic, looked up at the sky and said.

"Then I'll go ahead ......"

"Well, you're busy, and I'm just getting ready to go back."

Lin Zhibai understood, said goodbye and left, and said a word of concern when he was about to come.

"Stay safe."

"Hmm."

………

The day passed quickly.

On this day, Qin Ruyue surprisingly didn't send any more messages to Lin Zhibai, and I don't know if it was because of yesterday's scene that made her still angry.

Lin Zhibai naturally didn't care, no one disturbed Le's leisure.

……

The next day.

Today is the day to return to school.

Early in the morning, Lin Zhibai was awakened by the noise outside the window while he was still asleep.

"Lin Zhibai, get up quickly, the sun is drying your butt!"

Listening to this familiar loud voice, Lin Zhibai opened his eyes angrily.

Glancing out the window, sure enough, it was still dark.

Get dressed and go downstairs.

Liu Ping, dressed in fancy clothes, was standing under the dim street lamp, wincing at him.

"You're sick, what time is it?"

"Hehe, I just came back, I slept at my uncle's house yesterday for a day, and now I'm not sleepy, why don't I come to play with you."

If you don't get sleepy, you have to let others not sleep?

Rao is Lin Zhibai's good temper was also a little speechless by Liu Ping.

But since he woke up, Lin Zhibai had no intention of going back to sleep, and took Liu Ping home.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Liu Ping exclaimed.

"Damn, is this your home?"

"Are you hiring a housekeeper?"

"When I came to your house before, your house was like a dog kennel, why is it so clean and tidy now."

Lin Zhibai ignored it, Liu Ping chattered a few words and then turned on the desktop computer in the living room.

Lin Zhibai went to the bathroom to wash.

When he came out of the bathroom again, he heard Liu Ping exclaim again and again, and the table slammed into the sky.

"Nima, this is a fake match, right?"

"Black Whistle! Definitely a black whistle! ”

Lin Zhibai raised his eyes and looked.

I saw the semi-final match between Brazil and Germany playing on the computer screen.

Lin Zhibai then remembered that today is the day of Brazil against Germany.

moved a chair, and Lin Zhibai sat down beside Liu Ping quietly.

At this point, the game time has reached 90 minutes of regular time, and the top right of the screen displays jaw-dropping numbers.

7 to 0.

Liu Ping's whole body was stunned.

Although he and Lin Zhibai are not senior football fans, they like to play basketball and know more or less about football.

Brazil are the favourites to win the World Cup, and they are the host again in this World Cup.

As a result, he was kicked 7-0 in 90 minutes, who can accept this thing?

Finally.

Brazil's Oscar scored a face-saving goal and the whistle blew for the end of the game.

The final score was fixed at 7-1, and Brazil's teammates and fans who stayed up late in front of the screen to watch the game spent a torturous 100 minutes.

Call.

Looking at this result, Lin Zhibai breathed a long sigh in his heart.

OK.

Nothing has changed.
