After being harassed by Gao Hu for three consecutive days, I finally broke down. Even my determination to keep up with Lin Xiaolun was destroyed by him.
After the morning class, I stood in the lobby on the first floor of the teaching building and shouted to Gao Hu in despair: "Gao, what do you want to do?"
Facing the crowd that was slowly coming up, Gao Hu seemed a little embarrassed: "Well... I just want to look at you every moment."
"I'm not RMB." I kept my composure and tried my best to control myself from exploding.
"But I like you very much." Gao Hu grinned, revealing his white teeth, looking honest and sincere.
I suddenly felt a little bit sorry for it. If I lost my temper, wouldn't I be the murderer who killed the most innocent feelings of the teenager? But if I didn't lose my temper, I would definitely be suffocated.
I held my forehead in distress. How should I answer?
"Why is this so troublesome?"
Suddenly I heard Lin Xiaolun's voice from behind me. I felt like I had grabbed a life-saving straw and looked at Lin Xiaolun with expectation , hoping that he could save me from the dire straits.
Lin Xiaolun walked up to me, glanced at me, then smiled and said to Gao Hu, "Lele has been very outstanding since she was young, and many boys have a crush on her. Lele is not very good at talking, but she actually thinks you are good from the bottom of her heart, but because you appear frequently, it disrupts her daily routine, so she is a little distressed."
When Gao Hu heard this, he quickly said, "If that's the case, I can change it. Lele, I won't follow you every day in the future. If you need anything, just come to me, I will definitely help you without hesitation." As he said that, Gao Hu patted his chest.
I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Okay."
Gao Hu walked up to me cheerfully, put a note in my hand, and said softly: "This is my phone number. If you have any questions, just call me. I won't tell other people."
I burst out laughing, then nodded at him and said, "Well, I'll keep it a secret."
Gao Hu waved goodbye to me contentedly, and Lin Xiaolun shrugged and prepared to leave.
"Wait." I stretched out my arms to block Lin Xiaolun, "Let's eat together. Thank you for saving me."
"It's just a small favor, nothing to worry about," said Lin Xiaolun.
I put my hands on my hips and tilted my head to look at him: "Zhou Ji beef noodles from the snack street."
Lin Xiaolun didn't even look at me, and strode out of the teaching building. Seeing that I was still standing there in a daze, he said from a distance: "If you don't leave now, there will be no seats left."
I chuckled twice and quickly followed.
After drinking up all the beef noodle soup, I touched my round belly with satisfaction and burped.
Lin Xiaolun was still picking the few remaining noodles in the bowl and said, "Lele, the last time I met you at Walmart, you refused to respond no matter how I called you. Then you went to the United States without saying goodbye to me. I didn't see you when school started, and I really thought you were not coming."
I smiled apologetically, then thought about it and asked, "When was Wal-Mart?"
Lin Xiaolun sucked all the beef powder into his mouth, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said, "The night before you left for America."
"Come on." I rolled my eyes at him. "I can recognize you in a crowd, but you mistaken me for me. I didn't even go out that day!"
Lin Xiaolun looked at me deeply and said, "Maybe. No wonder you ignored me when I kept calling you."
I smiled narcissistically: "You must have missed me too much."
Lin Xiaolun patted my head and said with a smile, "Okay, go back after you finish eating and study hard. I'll call back later to ask about it, and say hello to your parents by the way."
I winked at Lin Xiaolun, gave him a thumbs up, and said with emotion: "A three-good boy."
Lin Xiaolun accepted my compliment, sent me back to the dormitory first, and then went back to the boys' dormitory alone.
I lay on the balcony, watching Lin Xiaolun walking away while talking on the phone, and my heart was filled with sweetness. This was the Lin Xiaolun I knew.
"Should I post this?" A mobile phone appeared in front of me.
I adjusted my posture and saw clearly that the video playing on my phone was the one in which Lin Xiaolun saved me from embarrassment.
I turned around and glared at Ding Chuchu who was licking a lollipop: "Did you also upload that video in the bathroom?"
Ding Chuchu nodded very honestly: "I am your military advisor."
"Great job." I shook my shoulders proudly and walked into the dormitory.
Ding Chuchu smiled thankfully and said, "I thought you were going to hit me."
How could I bear to hit my military advisor? It's immoral.
After this incident, my relationship with Lin Xiaolun improved a lot, which made me feel relieved . But the words of those girls kept lingering in my mind. They said that I was not worthy of Lin Xiaolun.
Indeed, Lin Xiaolun was handsome, very charming, sincere and gentle to everyone, and had excellent grades and many talents. As for me, I could only draw bad sketches, knew a little karate for self-defense, and could play a few simple songs on the piano. My grades were not very good, and even my appearance was average .
But what does it matter? I lay in bed, silently cheering myself up in my heart.
When I had some free time, I went to the library alone, hoping to borrow some extracurricular books that interested me.
My cell phone was vibrating in my pocket. I took it out and saw that it was Lin Xiaolun calling.
I found a suitable corner to talk and asked quietly, "Lin Xiaolun, what's the matter?"
Lin Xiaolun's voice was urgent on the phone: "Where are you?"
"The third floor of the library."
"I'll come to see you, wait for me." Lin Xiaolun said and hung up the phone in a hurry.
I was a little confused, so I quickly scanned and clocked in the borrowed books, and went to the library entrance to wait for Lin Xiaolun.
Lin Xiaolun ran over from a distance, stopped halfway, supported his knees with his hands, and gasped heavily.
Seeing this, I hurried over and said, "Lin Xiaolun."
Lin Xiaolun straightened up and looked at me, his eyes like two clear springs.
I was about to ask him what was wrong when he interrupted me.
"Don't move." Lin Xiaolun took a deep breath, walked over slowly, then stretched out his hands and hugged me tightly.
Lin Xiaolun held me with one hand and supported the back of my head with the other, his voice full of self-blame: "You fool..."
I felt weak all of a sudden when I heard the whispers, and the book in my hand fell to the ground. The autumn wind blew, and the leaves swirled in the air and fell on Lin Xiaolun's hair.
I was a little panicked and a little flattered, and didn't know what to say.
Lin Xiaolun picked up the book on the ground, dusted it off, and handed it to me. I took the book and asked uncertainly, "Lin Xiaolun? Are you Lin Xiaolun?"
Lin Xiaolun leaned forward and said with a smile: "Slap me and see if I am Lin Xiaolun."
I reached out my hand, touched Lin Xiaolun's face, and said with a smile, "Yes."
Lin Xiaolun's eyes were filled with guilt. He said, "Le Le, I'm sorry. I treated you like that before because I didn't understand the truth and was only concerned about my own sadness."
"How do you know you were wrong now?" I asked jokingly.
Lin Xiaolun's eyes flickered, and he said, "I called your mother, and she said you were very ill that day. You were afraid of heights on the plane, and you encountered strong air currents. You fainted on the plane and stayed in the hospital for a long time."
"Don't you know I'm sick?" I asked with a pout.
"I..." Lin Xiaolun explained, "I just didn't think it was that serious."
"Now you know, you have to accept the punishment for what you did wrong." I seized the opportunity and suggested.
Lin Xiaolun, who was blaming himself just now, immediately changed his expression and said firmly: "I will not be your slave anymore."
"Then be my boyfriend?" I became interested and said in a playful way.
Lin Xiaolun looked at me with disdain: "I've told you many times, you are a girl, a girl! You have to be reserved."
"Yes, yes, yes." I nodded in agreement and walked side by side with Lin Xiaolun. "There is a girl, beautiful and intelligent, with a kind heart and a gentle mind, who has been waiting in the boudoir for eighteen years."
Lin Xiaolun said I was thick-skinned, and I admitted it generously.
After two months of battle, I finally defeated Lin Xiaolun.
If I could do it all over again, even if I had to endure all the misfortunes, I would not want to defeat this young man in this battle.
At that time, I didn’t know that I would cherish him as my life.
In order to thank Military Advisor Ding for his secret efforts in helping Lin Xiaolun and I resolve the misunderstanding and reconcile, I bought him a set of works by the contemporary martial arts actor Feng Ge.
When Ding Chuchu received the gift, she immediately hugged me exaggeratedly and left a big lipstick mark on my cheek.
I wiped the lipstick off my face in disdain and said unhappily, "You're usually so cold and arrogant, but when you see a martial arts novel, you act like you've won the lottery."
Ding Chuchu raised her eyebrows and said confidently, "I am happy to do so."
I leaned close to Ding Chuchu's ear and said mysteriously, "Do you want to go to the amusement park on Saturday? I'll treat you, along with Lin Xiaolun and Guo Lu."
"Go." Ding Chuchu replied quickly.
Inviting them to the amusement park was, on the one hand, to celebrate the reconciliation between Lin Xiaolun and I, and on the other hand, to consolidate the relationship between the four of us.
The four of us are a very wonderful combination. We have very different personalities, but we can get along well. We also get a lot of attention when we walk on the street.
Along the way, Ding Chuchu and I were much more excited than the two boys.
I was just about to invite Lin Xiaolun and Guo Lu to go to the haunted house together, but Ding Chuchu pulled me aside and said, "Forget it, Lele. Few boys like to come to the amusement park to begin with. Let's just play our own games and let them have fun on their own."
What Ding Chuchu said made sense, so Lin Xiaolun, Guo Lu and I agreed to meet at the entrance of the amusement park in three hours and go back together.
Ding Chuchu and I bought a pass and played all the games in the amusement park. We arrived at the entrance of the amusement park on time, each holding two ice creams, but Lin Xiaolun and Guo Lu had not arrived yet.
I handed the ice cream to Ding Chuchu and took out my cell phone to call Lin Xiaolun.
As soon as the call was connected, I opened my mouth and said, "Lin Xiaolun, you guys...ah? Guo Lu?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Where are you? We're already at the door." I looked around.
"Lele, I'm sorry. I had a sudden stomachache, so Lin Xiaolun sent me to the hospital. He's gone to get me some medicine now, and he forgot to bring his phone."
"Are you okay?" I was a little worried. Ding Chuchu came over and asked me what was wrong with her mouth.
I pointed at the phone, covered the receiver, and whispered, "Guo Lu has a stomachache, they went to the hospital first."
"I'm fine. I'll be fine . You can go back with Chuchu first."
I agreed, hung up the phone, and told Ding Chuchu about the situation.
Ding Chuchu handed me the ice cream and said, "Two for each person, lick the left side and then the right side. It's hot and it will melt."
Eating ice cream is a romantic thing, but when Ding Chuchu said it, it was particularly disgusting. I curled my lips and turned away: "No more."
"Qin Le, you are so heartless." Ding Chuchu followed while yelling.
After returning to the dormitory, I did not call Guo Lu and Lin Xiaolun again. I kept thinking about Lin Xiaolun's apology to me. I imitated Conan's way of thinking, pinching my chin, searching my mind for evidence that Lin Xiaolun was interested in me.
"Ding Chuchu, what do you think are my chances of success if I confess my feelings to Lin Xiaolun?" Whenever I couldn't make up my mind, I would ask my military advisor.
Ding Chuchu bit the pen, silently memorized the words she would have to dictate tomorrow morning, and answered me perfunctorily: "Half and half."
“Why is it so little?” My confidence just reached its peak, but it fell down again.
"Sister, don't be so ungrateful and get carried away by receiving a little benefit. When it comes to confessing your feelings, it's okay if you succeed, but it's embarrassing if you fail. So you'd better be absolutely sure before taking action. But the fact that you're asking for my opinion now proves that you're not sure." Ding Chuchu's words were well-reasoned and convinced me.
I stood up, turned around in front of the dressing mirror, and said, "Then I have to prepare carefully for a few days."
" Sister, learn some English words first to save yourself." Ding Chuchu advised me earnestly, "It would be a joke if Lin Xiaolun laughed at you for not being able to write a single word correctly."
"Thank you for the reminder." I came to my senses, spread out my English book, and then wrote a sticky note and stuck it on the wall to remind me at all times to pay attention to women's cultivation and moral character.
Ding Chuchu thinks that I am a princess living in a castle. Only after being hurt emotionally will I understand what I really want and what I want to do.
I swore solemnly that Lin Xiaolun would not let me get hurt.
When I said this, my tone was more firm than ever before.
