Jian Yan sent Lin Leyao downstairs to the dormitory and went back without saying much. She always felt that something was wrong with his return this time, but she couldn't tell what it was, and her mind was in a mess.
When she returned to the dormitory, naturally some people came up to her and gossiped. Lin Leyao didn't say much and went to bed alone. She thought she would be fine after a good night's sleep. Unexpectedly, after waking up the next day, her mind was still a mess and she couldn't make sense of anything.
What exactly went wrong?
"Yaoyao, do you want to go to the Internet cafe?" Qiao Dandan asked while patting the head of Lin Leyao's bed. She has been playing a very popular online game recently, and it seems that she has met a boy who she can talk to very well, and she often goes to the Internet cafe.
"Go ahead. I have nothing to do anyway." Lin Leyao changed her clothes and went to the Internet cafe with Qiao Dandan. There were a lot of people there on the weekend, so the two did not sit together.
Lin Leyao was somewhat thankful for such a seat. She really couldn't stand the conversation between Qiao Dandan and that boy. The voices were so corny.
"What are you doing? Go! Use your skills! Hey, you with the chicken feather on your head, do you know how to move? Go up, go up!... The boss's skills have a wide range, remember to dodge, dodge... Hey, why are you dead again! That chicken feather! Why are you dead again! Are you an idiot?"
As soon as she sat down and before she put on her headphones, she heard the girl next to her loudly directing a "battle". She thought that if she put on her headphones, everything would be fine, but... the other person's voice was too loud and she couldn't watch the show at all.
Lin Leyao comforted herself that it was just a game copy and it would be over in a while. However, half an hour later, the girl next door had already started directing another battle and had no intention of stopping.
The already messy head completely exploded! Lin Leyao pulled off the headphones and said to the girl next to her: "Can you please keep your voice down?"
The other party was so loud... I couldn't hear him at all...
"Hello, could you please speak a little more quietly?" Lin Leyao said again.
The other party still didn't hear it.
She was already a little annoyed . An entire episode of the TV series was over and she didn't hear a single line!
"Hey! Can you keep your voice down?" Lin Leyao said even louder.
The girl finally heard it. She pulled off her headphones angrily and glanced at Lin Leyao.
She was ready to have a quarrel with the girl, but she said in a soft accent, "Did I bother you? Sorry, I can't stop playing games. Oh, are you watching "The Domineering CEO's Little Wife"? I've watched this TV series too, it's so cliché, but it's so cliché that you can't stop watching it. I always want to see how it can be more clichéd."
Huh? Lin Leyao was dumbfounded. She thought the other party would scold her like the chicken feather in the game, but she didn't expect her voice to be so gentle! So nice!
The strong contrast made her unsure of how to react.
"You have already watched episode 238, and there are only two episodes left to the end. You are so awesome. I have only watched episode 88. Come on, tell me a spoiler. Has the girl named Manman been discovered by the male protagonist? I tell you, this woman is amazing." The girl came close to Lin Leyao and asked softly. At this time, a very rough male voice came from the headset, as if he was looking for her.
"Your friends seem to be looking for you." Lin Leyao said, pointing at the game interface.
"Wait a minute, I'll explain to them." The girl pulled the headphones she had put down in front of her and yelled, "You guys are playing so badly, I'm done with it, just play by yourselves!"
There seemed to be some dissatisfaction over there, and the roars of several men came through the headphones.
"If you say you don't want to play, then don't play. A group of grown men who can't even compare to a woman have the nerve to play games. You idiots!" After cursing, the girl directly pressed the restart button.
The corners of Lin Leyao's mouth twitched. She looked at the girl in front of her who was smiling and waiting for her to reveal the secret. She always felt that she had met a schizophrenic patient.
"My name is Mingliang. Do you mind if I sit next to you and watch the show with you? I think this kind of melodramatic TV series is more exciting when watched together. It's boring to watch it alone." Mingliang saw Lin Leyao nod, so she pulled the chair over.
To make it convenient for couples, each computer in the Internet cafe is equipped with two pairs of headphones, which is very convenient for Mingliang and Lin Leyao.
Just as Mingliang said, melodramatic TV dramas are only enjoyable when watched and discussed with other people. With someone to accompany me, my mood doesn't seem to be so bad.
At the end of the TV series, Mingliang patted his chair and said, "It's so ridiculous! But the male lead is really handsome."
"It's quite handsome." Lin Leyao is not someone who can easily get along with others. At first, she agreed to let Mingliang come to watch the show just because he agreed with her point of view. After watching the show, the two of them disappeared.
It was clear that Mingliang didn't think so. She stopped Lin Leyao who was about to leave and asked, "Do you have any recommendations for TV series of this kind? This one was recommended by my classmate. I couldn't stop watching it. It's amazing... It's rare to see a TV series with so many idiots."
"I'm going back now. You can go ask your classmates more." Lin Leyao politely declined.
"You are leaving, and I am leaving too. Which school are you from? I'm from M University, what about you?" Mingliang held Lin Leyao's arm and refused to let go. "Leave me your WeChat number. I tell you, there is nothing in my circle of friends that you don't share unless you are a Chinese. You can add me without worry." As she spoke, she had already taken out her cell phone.
"I really have to leave." She looked up at Qiao Dandan, who was still chatting animatedly and had no intention of leaving. Lin Leyao's arm was held, so she could only take out her phone and add Mingliang as a friend.
This person was too enthusiastic, and Lin Leyao was a little uncomfortable.
"Ah? This avatar is your own photo, right? Oh my god, I've seen you!" Mingliang slapped her thigh and stood up when she saw Lin Leyao's WeChat avatar. She was so excited that she slapped her thigh so hard that she grimaced in pain.
"Pfft." Lin Leyao couldn't help laughing when she saw her like this, "You are really a weird person."
"I know you are from the Chemistry Department of M University. Your name is Lin Leyao. You are 1.67 meters tall. You are never late or leave early. You are a typical white, rich and beautiful woman. You are currently single. Your family is from M City. You were the top girl in our school in the college entrance examination. What else..." Mingliang racked his brains and thought for a long time before suddenly saying, "Also, 34C!"
After saying this, a group of boys turned to look at them, and Lin Leyao was so scared that she ran out of the Internet cafe.
Mingliang also ran out. Lin Leyao asked helplessly, "Who are you and how do you know me so well?"
"I heard all this from the boys in my class." His bright eyes stayed on Lin Leyao's chest. "So C is this big. I have never had any idea about anything other than A."
"I have to go back first." Lin Leyao still wasn't used to the enthusiastic Mingliang.
"Let's go back together. We are acquainted after fighting. Let's just be friends." Mingliang suddenly stood up straight and stretched out his right hand to Lin Leyao . "Hello, my name is Mingliang. From today on, we are friends. Please give me your advice. If you have any secrets to breast enhancement, please tell me. I will die for you."
Ah? The topic changed so quickly that she didn't react for a moment. Mingliang became her friend because of the secret of breast enlargement?
"I'm telling you, I'm not friends with you because of the secret to big breasts. I just think you're a nice person. Of course, it would be fine if you could tell me the secret to big breasts." Mingliang was taller than Lin Leyao, and she held her shoulders. "I'm telling you, if you get bullied at school in the future, just tell me my name, and I guarantee no one will dare to speak loudly to you."
"Are you the big sister?" Lin Leyao felt that she had made friends with a very important person.
"It's all empty reputation. I'm just a better fighter." Mingliang said modestly.
"Then please take good care of me in the future." Maybe it would be nice to make friends with a girl like this.
A long time later, Lin Leyao and Mingliang had a fight. Mingliang, who was knocked to the ground, cried out for the whole day, "You can't judge a person by his appearance." How could she be deceived by the false appearance of gentleness from the beginning? It was such a shame!
I don’t know if you have ever had this feeling: when you don’t know someone, you feel that the campus is so big that you will never meet him/her; after you get to know someone, you feel that the campus is so small that you can meet him/her no matter what.
For example, Lin Leyao and Mingliang.
Lin Leyao counted on her fingers and found that this was the fourth time she had met Mingliang today. Once in the cafeteria in the morning, once at the basketball court in the morning, once in the library in the afternoon, and now... at the dining table.
She stared blankly at the three people at the table except herself and asked, "Do you know each other?"
"Lin Leyao, you make me very sad when you say that. Jian Yan and I have been in the same class for three years in high school, and we have met several times. You actually asked such a question. Oh, my fragile heart..." Ma Ruge covered her chest and sang with an exaggerated expression, "You broke my heart, you made me cry..."
"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Mingliang." Lin Leyao has long been accustomed to Ma Ruge's exaggeration. Let alone singing, even if he was sitting on the ground with his hands covering his chest, she would not think it was exaggerated.
It’s just that Mingliang… They had just known each other for one day, and then she found out that she and Jian Yan actually knew each other. What… was going on?
Lin Leyao started to think wildly again. Did Jian Yan and Ming Liang know each other for a long time, or even knew each other earlier than she and Jian Yan? Or did they have a secret relationship? Or maybe the three of them were actually in a love triangle before.
Have you known each other for a long time?
This might make her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Are you asking me about Jian Yan and me?" Mingliang pulled the stool away with a look of disgust. "I'm not familiar with this kind of scheming person. I really am not familiar with him."
"How do you know he is a scheming person if you don't know him well?" Lin Leyao asked back.
"I heard it." Mingliang pointed at Ma Ruge and said, "I heard it from him. That's not right, Yaoyao, isn't it a good thing that I know your friend? Why do you look so serious? It seems that my knowing Jian Yan is a big deal for you. Could it be that... you and Jian Yan... wow, what a perfect match."
"Mingliang, I think we are a good match." Ma Ruge finally stopped flattering Mingliang and moved closer to him to flatter him, "Look, I am so good-looking and you are so talented."
"Get lost!" Mingliang pushed Ma Ruge aside with a look of disgust and continued to tease Lin Leyao, "Yaoyao, I heard that you and Jian Yan are childhood sweethearts. As the saying goes, a man rides on a childhood sweetheart, and a man plays with his childhood sweetheart. It means that you two are a perfect match."
"Are you sure you know the meaning of these two sentences?" Lin Leyao asked.
Mingliang shook his head: "I've heard it often, but I don't really understand it. But it doesn't matter if I don't understand, as long as you understand it."
"Stop showing off your culture, let's order food first." Lin Leyao didn't want to continue this topic, so she picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes. She didn't even notice that the dishes she ordered included not only her favorites, but also the ones Jian Yan liked.
From beginning to end, Jian Yan didn't say a word. He kept pondering Lin Leyao's expression. He noticed her every frown and hesitation. She still lacked trust in love.
After sending Lin Leyao back to the dormitory, Mingliang asked Jian Yan: "If she knew that I became friends with her because I made a bet with you, would she hate you?"
"I don't know, but I believe you will become her best friend." Jian Yan looked up at the girls' dormitory building, "Mingliang, I believe you can make her firm."
"Don't flatter me. I'll be thankful if you don't try to trick me." Her meeting with Lin Leyao was an accident, but she had already agreed with Jian Yan that she wanted to be friends with her. Jian Yan said that Lin Leyao would be the most suitable person to be Mingliang's friend. She didn't believe it, so they made a bet.
When Mingliang was thinking about how to approach Lin Leyao, she came to him, so everything became logical. Including today's dinner, it was also to prevent people from being suspected of various things in the future.
"Jian Yan, I don't understand why you do this." Mingliang sighed. She had been thinking about this for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She already knew that Lin Leyao was a good girl and was worthy of getting to know her. She was glad to know this girl, but she was also worried that one day she would know the truth.
"You will understand later." Jian Yan said in a deep voice.
"Don't give me that. You are such a pretentious person. I don't know whether I will understand you in the future. I only know that if Lin Leyao finds out one day, you will die a miserable death." Mingliang threatened.
"No, if she did, she wouldn't be the Lin Le Yao I knew." He was certain about Lin Le Yao.
"Hey, big brother and big sister, are you two ignoring my existence? Although I am handsome, you can't just pretend I don't exist." Ma Ruge inserted himself between the two of them and rubbed his body towards Mingliang. "Sister Mingliang, can we go out on a date tomorrow?"
"Not interested." Mingliang rolled his eyes and turned away, leaving Jian Yan and Ma Ruge there.
"You work so hard for her, what if she falls in love with someone else one day?" After Mingliang left, Ma Ruge put away her playful smile and became serious.
"As long as she is happy." Jian Yan said.
Huh? Ma Ruge felt that this answer was not Jian Yan's style. How could a narcissistic person like him speak so implicitly? It was unscientific.
Sure enough, Jian Yan added: "I won't give her any chance to fall in love with someone else."
"Will you die if you don't pretend?" Ma Ruge asked.
In short: "It's better than someone who doesn't even have the capital to pretend."
Ma Ruge: "Jian Yan, I want to break up with you!"
Jian Yan: "Oh."
Ma Ruge cursed Jian Yan in his heart. This guy has mastered the art of using a small force to achieve a great result. There is no flaw in it! One day, one day, he will find a chance to ridicule him! Definitely!
After walking a few steps, Jian Yan turned around and saw Ma Ruge clenching her fist and swearing secretly, and said with a slight warning: "If you don't like Mingliang, don't joke around anymore in the future. There are some jokes you can't afford to make."
Ma Ruge didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Jian Yan did not explain it to him. He knew that not everyone could see their feelings and moods clearly. Even if some things were explained in detail, the person who should not understand would still not understand. As a friend, he could only give a brief explanation.
