That day, Jiang Ningyu was about to cry when she ate in the cafeteria of Columbia. The hot food counter is rich in carb bombs, the crispy and tender chicken fries at the freshly fried counter, and there is even a bar-mixing counter!

She cried happily as she hugged the thick cheese pastrami roll, "This is the cafeteria of my dreams!" ”

And then unsurprisingly ate it.

Lin Xuyue accompanied her around the campus, and the maple treetops swayed movingly in the remnant sun and dawn. The boundless autumn wind blew people's hearts comfortably, until a girl with a good temperament ran over with a book in her arms and asked him shyly and timidly, "Are you going to tomorrow's ball?" Jiang Ningyu suddenly had a deeper sense of crisis.

There is no shortage of beautiful women among international students, enthusiastic beauties. Lin Xuyue's rank is already the best of the best, no matter how cold he looks, there is no shortage of admirers.

So, Jiang Ningyu pulled his sleeve and asked curiously, "What kind of ball?" ”

"Our college has chartered the art museum, and we will have a party in it tomorrow night."

"Party in a museum?"

"Well, do you want to see it?"

"Is that okay? I'm not here...... you're here," she whispered, just not letting go.

Noticing that the girl's expression became embarrassed, Lin Xuyue said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm not sure yet." Then when she walked away, she asked Jiang Ningyu with a smile, "Are you short-sighted?" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Ningyu didn't understand what he meant.

Lin Xuyue's eyes fell, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her speech was slow and methodical, like a teasing tone, "Otherwise, why don't you let me go?" ”

Jiang Ningyu let go of him as if she had just found out, "ah". Then he took a step closer to him, stood on tiptoe and leaned slightly.

Probably too close, beyond the safe social distance, Lin Xuyue immediately raised her hand and pressed her arms with a slight force.

Jiang Ningyu also knew that she was in this situation, very much like she was going to kiss him who was more than half a head taller, and it was understandable for him to stop him silently. But she pretended not to know, staring at his eyes curiously, "I'm not short-sighted, but I saw you wearing glasses today, are you short-sighted?" After saying that, he slowly took a step back.

Lin Xuyue's answer was, "If you don't have a degree, protect your eyes." ”

Jiang Ningyu praised sincerely, "You look good with glasses." Oh, it's not that you don't look good without glasses, or you look good with glasses, there is a ...... What does it feel like to be abstinent? ”

“……”

Lin Xuyue glanced at her helplessly, "Just like you're praising me." ”

Walking to the road around the park, Jiang Ningyu asked again, "Did that girl just now want to ask you to be your dance partner?" ”

He shook his head, "I don't know. ”

"Is she your one?"

"I guess I've seen it in the professional class."

"What's your name?"

“Almina？ Or Amelia...... I haven't spoken much, I can't remember. ”

"Oh, and if she asked you to be her dance partner, would you agree?"

"Don't you want to see it?" He asked rhetorically.

He meant that they were more familiar, a high school one, and if she was interested in the prom, he prioritized accompanying her. Jiang Ningyu knew the tacit understanding he delivered, but she didn't accept it when she saw it - she just wanted to put an end to the opposite sex around him, and she didn't want to play ambiguous with him, of course, she had to ask more bluntly.

"And if I'm not there, will you say yes?"

Her questioning was too thoughtful, and a fool could tell that something was wrong, Lin Xuyue looked at her strangely, and suddenly stopped answering.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ningyu pretended to be stupid.

"You ask so much......" he seemed to hesitate, trying to bring the subject over in a joking way, "...... Wouldn't it be interesting to me, would it? ”

As long as there is denial, the topic is over.

At that moment, the thought of the lightning flash made Jiang Ningyu pretend to nod, "That's right." He also asked rhetorically, "Can't it be interesting to you?" ”

Naturally, Lin Xuyue was shocked.

Seeing him stop, looking stunned and surprised, Jiang Ningyu touched his long hair that was swaying in the wind, and her tone was a little empty, "Scared you?" ”

“…… No. After a moment, Lin Xuyue slowly spoke, "It's just, it's not like what you would say." ”

"I like to play straight."

"Then you introduce me to a girlfriend ......"

"Let's not talk about it, shall we?" Jiang Ningyu hurriedly made a reason, "Didn't I have a brain pump at the time...... In the end, she looked at her mobile phone, and said hastily, "Oh, I have to go back to practice, don't send it bye." She smiled like a flower, waved at him, and turned around to show a shocked expression.

Run wild. Later, I received a message from Lin Xuyue, about the ball, and there was no mention of the confession.

However, before Jiang Ningyu went to bed, she thoughtfully sent a confession in the past, thinking that she felt very safe:

[Also, don't be stressed about tonight's affairs! I mean, when you want to fall in love in college, think about me first...... It's okay not to think about it, anyway, I don't want this to affect our friendship. 】

Her original intention was to worry that Lin Xuyue would be frightened and alienated again, so there would be no way to get his first-hand information, and the gains would outweigh the losses. Lu Li's guy was unreliable, and the difficult task of preventing him from falling in love with someone else was all on her.

Jiang Ningyu can't say that she is confident in herself, but in general, she still thinks she is very competitive. Don't talk about the appearance of these imaginary, let's just say that there is talent, and there are filters of old classmates, how can it be better than those girls I know newly, right?

Therefore, it is best that he does not have the idea of falling in love. If there is, then we have to use a more despicable way to stabilize him. Li Weiwei has never treated a person of the opposite sex differently, and it is rare to get the hang of it, she has to look at people first. More on that later.

She had a dream that night. In the dream, she found that the girls around Lin Xuyue were one after another. She couldn't cope with it, so she could only pretend to be in love and splash around, scaring those girls away one by one.

I woke up once in a daze, and saw Lin Xuyue reply to the message, just two words "no", I don't know if it means that there will be no pressure, no consideration, or it will not affect being friends.

But he posted a circle of friends. The maple red autumn scene taken casually attached a sentence:

“Every leaf speaks bliss to me， fluttering from the autumn tree.”

- Every falling autumn leaf tells me about ecstasy.
