Chapter 35: Liang Qiqi, Happy Birthday
When it was close to noon on the second day, Liang Jinyi received a call from Xu Duan, so he immediately went downstairs with his schoolbag on his back.
Out of the dormitory building, Liang Jinyi saw Xu Duan standing in front of the building wearing a black backpack in white clothes, looking very refreshing.
Liang Jinyi approached, smiled at him, and asked, "Is your foot injury really healed?" ”
"Well," Xu Duan replied in a low voice, "Do you want me to take two steps to show you?" ”
Liang Jinyi hurriedly smiled and shook his head, "Don't be careful. ”
She bit the two words very hard, and Xu Duan laughed when she heard it.
"If you want to get better so quickly, it's thanks to you feeding me a week of bone broth."
What do you eat?
But she later checked on the Internet, and it didn't seem to have any scientific basis.
He's kidding her, isn't he?
Liang Jinyi lowered his head slightly, and did not answer Xu Duan's words.
It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the school together that Liang Jinyi secretly observed his walking pace, that she was sure that he was really good, and her heart was finally able to let go.
The two of them had a casual meal outside the school, and still took the subway to Xu Duan's grandfather's courtyard.
Then the two of them have chosen a book in the study, and will each find a place to read quietly for an afternoon, until it gets dark before returning to school.
For a period of time after that, every weekend, as long as Xu Duan and they didn't practice, he would take Liang Jinyi to his grandfather's study to spend most of the day.
Therefore, Liang Jinyi will take classes seriously and hard every Monday to Friday, do experiments, read books, and then start looking forward to Xu Duan's news from Friday night, and then look forward to the quiet and leisurely reading time in the weekend afternoon.
This kind of life lasted until the final exams, and after entering the final exam period, everyone was so busy that they didn't go anymore.
It's just that the two of them may have become more familiar with each other because of this fixed time every week, and even if they don't go to school, they will occasionally make an appointment to go to self-study together, or go to the cafeteria to have a few meals together.
The relationship between the two people is so natural that Liang Jinyi has to mistakenly think that she and Xu Duan seem to be in love, but in fact, what they do together seems to be just a normal interaction between friends, there are no intimate actions, no ambiguous words, and it is impossible for anyone to like whom.
But just like this, it makes Liang Jinyi feel very happy and satisfied.
Halfway through the final exam, the classmates were studying to buy tickets home in advance, Liang Jinyi thought that she would go back to Jincheng with Xu Duan during the winter vacation, so when the two of them had dinner together, Liang Jinyi vaguely mentioned to him about going home during the vacation.
But the news I got was that they had to take all of them back to the University for practical training this summer.
At the dinner table, Liang Jinyi hid his little loss very well, and just smiled and said to Xu Duan: "Oh, then I'll go back by myself, it's no problem." ”
The two of them didn't say anything more about this topic, and Liang Jinyi still felt endless loss when he lay in bed at night.
This summer, for nearly two months, I can't go to his grandfather's house every week to read books together, we can't make appointments or study or eat together, and we can't even take the train back to Jincheng together.
Liang Jinyi was a little worried, he couldn't see each other for nearly two months, and Kongda must be militarized management, and it may not even be possible to contact him on his mobile phone, so the kind of affection they have built up in the past two months will not be diluted.
The distance that finally got closer, if it became distant again, Liang Jinyi would feel heartache and sadness when he thought about it, and his eyes were a little sour unconsciously.
The phone suddenly began to vibrate, and Liang Jinyi blinked, picked it up and checked it.
Xu: [Did you sleep?] 】
LJY: [Not ...... yet]
As soon as Liang Jinyi's reply was sent, Xu Duan threw her a picture on WeChat, she clicked on it and was a little surprised.
She immediately edited the message and asked: [You guys are on summer vacation again? 】
Xu: [No, I helped my classmates buy tickets from the Internet, and by the way, I also booked one for you. 】
The glimmer of joy that had just risen in Liang Jinyi's heart disappeared in an instant, and she mechanically replied to Xu Duan with a "thank you", and then transferred the ticket money to him.
I turned off my phone and forced myself to sleep.
Three days later, the exam ended.
Early this morning, when Liang Jinyi walked out of the courtyard of the girls' apartment with her suitcase, she saw Xu Duan in a black sweatshirt at a glance.
He happened to see her and immediately ran towards her.
"Are you going to the station now?"
She immediately greeted him with a smile and replied, "Well, why are you so early?" ”
"The flying class has morning training every morning, and when I get used to it, I wake up when the time comes, and I come down to run when I can't sleep." Xu Duan explained.
Liang Jinyi nodded.
Xu Duan stretched out his hand and took the suitcase in Liang Jinyi's hand, "Let's go, send you to the school gate to take a taxi." ”
The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and when they arrived at the taxi landing point at the school gate, they watched two taxis in a row pass in front of them with their horns, but no one beckoned to stop them.
After standing for a while, Xu Duan first opened his mouth and said to Liang Jinyi: "We will gather at eight o'clock, we can only send you here, not to the station, you should pay attention to your own safety when there are many people." ”
Hearing this, Liang Jinyi raised her eyes to look at Xu Duan, and after looking at it for a while, she suddenly smiled unconsciously.
Originally, the inexplicable emotions in her heart suddenly dispersed.
It turned out that he was waiting for her downstairs in the dormitory early in the morning to see her off, and it wasn't like he said that he couldn't sleep and go down for a run.
Thinking of this, my heart seemed to suddenly bloom, and Liang Jinyi's face also had a sweet smile.
"I know," Liang Jinyi replied to him, "It's not the first time I've gone by myself. ”
"It's not a long drive, don't sleep!"
Thinking of the last time the two went home together, Xu Duan reminded her intimately.
Liang Jinyi let out a low "oh", why do you think Xu Duan's two words of advice are somewhat ambiguous?
Then another taxi passed by and honked its horn twice, Xu Duan waved to stop it, helped Liang Jinyi put the suitcase into the trunk, and then opened the door to let Liang Jinyi get in the car.
Liang Jinyi sat in the back seat of the car, and Xu Duan bent down to her before closing the car door: "Send a message at home, we'll see you at school." ”
Liang Jinyi paused for a moment and smiled: "Okay." ”
The taxi started, Liang Jinyi looked at Xu Duan who was slowly reversing on the side of the road, getting farther and farther away, until she could no longer see his figure, she slowly sat upright.
On the way, she couldn't help but wonder, what did Xu Duan think about her, did he also like him a little bit?
At the train station, Liang Jinyi checked the ticket and got on the train, only to find that Xu Duan had booked a bullet train ticket for her this time, and the whole journey to Jincheng was only three hours.
It was close to noon after Liang Jinyi arrived home, and she sent a message to Xu Duan saying that she had arrived home, but Xu Duan had not replied for a long time.
Until one night two weeks later, Leung was taking a shower and Professor Xu was changing sheets in her bedroom.
The door of the bathroom was suddenly knocked by Professor Xu: "Qiqi, I just called for you, saying that I will call you in ten minutes." ”
Liang Jinyi heard it, thinking that Lin Yimo was looking for her to complain about Lu Ang's disappearance like a few days ago, so she casually said "oh", and she was not in a hurry, anyway, she couldn't get the call, and she would call again later.
But when she heard the word "male" added by Professor Xu, her heart immediately began to beat wildly.
I don't know why, when she heard that a boy called her, her first reaction was Xu Duan.
Knowing that it is not easy for him to make a phone call now, it is even more difficult to think about calling her when he has the opportunity, after all, they are not the kind of relationship that must be called now.
Afraid that if it was him, he missed the opportunity to call, Liang Jinyi took a shower casually and quickly, ran back to the bedroom, picked up his mobile phone and checked the call history.
When she saw the familiar phone number, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she couldn't help but roll back and forth on the bed with her mobile phone happily.
Just at this time, another call came from the mobile phone.
Liang Jinyi lay on the bed, cleared his throat, and quickly picked it up.
"Hey."
"Liang Qiqi?"
Xu Duan's voice immediately came out of the earpiece, with a faint smile, Liang Jinyi was slightly stunned when he heard it.
Her nickname, only the family will call her like this, and no one else knows.
"How do you know this?" Liang Jinyi was puzzled and asked him.
Xu Duan didn't answer the question, and said in a joking tone: "So that's what everyone in your family really calls you?" ”
Liang Jinyi closed his eyes, and a "hmm" sound was counted as an answer.
"That's good." Xu Duan chuckled.
Liang Jinyi pouted, "It's just a nickname, don't you have it?" ”
Xu Duan continued to laugh over there, and his tone was casual: "I'm sorry, I may have disappointed you, but I really didn't." ”
Liang Jinyi suddenly remembered what his aunt called him last time at his grandfather's house.
"Aduan ......"
As soon as Liang Jinyi said these two words, he was even stunned for a moment.
Obviously, Xu Duan was also stunned by her sudden two words, because the other end of the phone was suddenly quiet.
Liang Jinyi bit his lip and asked, "Doesn't this count?" ”
Then she heard Xu Duan chuckle again, and he said, "Okay, forget it." ”
The two of them each chuckled low on both ends of the phone, and suddenly Xu Duan asked Liang Jinyi again: "Liang Qiqi, is it because your birthday is in July?" ”
Liang Jinyi replied in a low voice, "Well, because I was born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, my family calls me Qiqi." ”
"Well, that's good." Xu Duan repeated this sentence again, paused, and his voice was serious, "Seriously." ”
Liang Jinyi was praised by him so seriously that the name was good, she was a little embarrassed, and then she also opened the topic and chatted with Xu Duan about something else.
I don't know how long we chatted, Liang Jinyi suddenly heard someone on Xu Duan's side calling him, and then the phone was still for a few seconds.
When there was any more movement, she heard Xu Duan say to her: "The instructor is looking for me, I have to go over and call you again if I have a chance." ”
Liang Jinyi was a little reluctant, but she also knew that the military orders in the army were like mountains, so she nodded in response: "Okay, you can go." ”
thought that the phone would be hung up immediately, but Liang Jinyi didn't expect Xu Duan to suddenly call her again.
"Liang Jinyi."
Liang Jinyi was stunned for a moment, and responded to him with a "hmm", "Is there anything else?" ”
"I can't call you tomorrow, I just want to tell you in advance today, Liang Qiqi, happy birthday!"
The phone hung up, and Liang Jinyi couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Xu Duan actually called her to say happy birthday.
She's probably going to have a happy insomnia tonight.
