Genius Girlfriend - Chapter 100
Back then, when Lin Zhixia was in junior high school at Provincial No. 1 Middle School, he always got the first place in the class. As for the second place in the class, either Jiang Yubai or Shen Jianxuan.
Shen Jixuan has excellent grades and successfully got the recommended place. He is a freshman in the School of Mathematics this year and Lin Zhixia’s younger brother.
The former classmate turned out to be today’s schoolboy.
Shen Jixuan was not embarrassed at all. The moment he saw Lin Zhixia, he waved at her and shouted openly: “Lin Zhixia!”
“Have you noticed that Lin Zhixia has grown taller?” Duan Qiyan suddenly commented.
Duan Qiyan folded his arms and stood beside Shen Jixuan, his back straight. He wore a peaked cap, a cotton shirt with the university emblem, and a pair of loose sports trousers. He was satisfied with his outfit and hoped that Lin Zhixia would notice him.
After the end of his middle school career, Duan Qiyan matured a lot. He had long forgotten the title of “The First God of War” that he was proud of when he was a child. As he grows older, he has seen the cruel side of life-for example, in his third year of high school, he failed to secure a place in Peking University and Tsinghua University, so he could only bite the bullet and prepare for the college entrance examination.
Fortunately, his foundation is still there.
Duan Qiyan performed well, ranking top 30 in the province in total score of college entrance examination.
The teachers at the admissions office scrambled for him.
What is there to grab?
Duan Qiyan is destined to be alumni with Lin Zhixia and Shen Shixuan.
The crowds everywhere are like a sea, and the bustle is still there. Lin Zhixia is getting closer and closer, with a hint of surprise in her tone: “You are all here? Great, I want to invite you to dinner. Any other classmates?”
Shen Jixuan pointed in another direction: “Tang Tingting, your high school tablemate, she is also here. She is at the university next door.”
“The university next door?” Lin Zhixia was a little surprised.
Taking advantage of Tang Tingting’s absence, Duan Qiyan mocked coldly: “She said that the university next door is stronger in engineering and has more men. She wants to go to college where there are more men. I really laughed. I think she just wants to do it in college. Bastard…”
Lin Zhixia has a balance in his heart. To her, Tang Tingting weighs far more than Duan Qiyan. She chose to help Tang Tingting speak: “You are all 17 or 18 years old. Isn’t it normal to fall in love?”
Duan Qiyan raised his eyebrows: “Did you talk about it?”
Lin Zhixia firmly denied: “I don’t have one.”
Duan Qiyan’s father called him not far away: “Son, my father’s good son! Have you read the “New Student Guide”, did you get the medical card? Don’t forget to go to the medical checkup. Mom and Dad have booked a car in the afternoon , I’m going to climb the Great Wall, son, take care of yourself, mom and dad leave first, call if you have anything!”
Duan Qiyan carried two large bags of suitcases alone. He raised his hands vigorously, and said, “Dad, don’t go, I haven’t entered the dormitory yet…”
Duan Qiyan’s voice was so low that his parents did not hear it. He was like a lone wolf, watching his parents disappear at the end of the boulevard. He couldn’t believe that his parents would leave him in order to climb the Great Wall-he was an excellent child who was ranked in the top 30 in the province in the college entrance examination and was scrambled by Tsinghua University in turn.
Duan Qiyan stood there stupidly for a while.
Lin Zhixia kindly comforted him: “Don’t be sad. When I first came to Beijing, my parents told me that they were going to travel in Beijing. In fact, they lied to me. They did not travel. To save money, they sat in the evening. The train is home. Mom and Dad are the best people in the world to you…”
Duan Qiyan heard what Lin Zhixia said and believed it to be true.
He was even moved.
Thinking of his parents taking the train home overnight to save money, and pretending to be climbing the Great Wall, he felt a little uncomfortable. Mom and Dad weren’t so frugal before. Maybe it was because he was admitted to the best university in the country and wanted to save him some money. Hey, he got it, he got it. Sure enough, after a person graduates from high school, his mind will become very mature.
When Duan Qiyan and Lin Zhixia were speaking, Shen Jixuan had already found his dormitory on the map.
Shen Jixuan’s parents didn’t send him off, so he went lightly and came to Beijing alone. He has no suitcases, only a backpack. He seems to be not a freshman in college, but a leisurely and contented tourist.
The students on the boulevard were bustling, and the sound of suitcases mopping the floor one after another.
Lin Zhixia took the initiative to act as the guide for Duan Qiyan and Shen Jixuan. She clearly remembered the location of every building in the school. She promised the two old classmates that she would deliver them safely to the door of the boys’ dormitory.
Just as Lin Zhixia took a step, a girl’s voice came in her ear: “Xia Shen! Xia Shen!”
The breeze made Deng Shasha’s skirt rattle. She is holding a pancake in her left hand and a roll of ingredients in her right hand. She ran wildly on the long road intertwined with shades of trees, rushing towards Lin Zhixia like an enclave.
“She is my roommate!” Lin Zhixia introduced enthusiastically, “her name is Deng Shasha.”
As soon as Lin Zhixia finished speaking, Deng Shasha stopped.
A few minutes ago, Deng Shasha was shouldering the work of a volunteer, but she did not succeed in getting out. She waited for a while, and when the classmates who changed classes arrived, she did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately caught up with Lin Zhixia.
The two handsome schoolboys were close in front of them, and Deng Shasha changed her face, becoming gentle, generous, and amiable. She asked softly: “Oh, are these two schoolboys your fellow? The schoolboys in our school are really talented.”
“Hahahaha.” Lin Zhixia laughed.
Afterwards, she said boldly: “These two juniors are my classmates in middle school.”
As if to prove that what Lin Zhixia said was true, Duan Qiyan twisted the ground and called to Deng Shasha: “Senior Sister.” It was not enough for him to finish the call. He patted Shen Jianxuan lightly and urged: “You Why are you not called Senior Sister?”
Shen Jixuan smiled slightly: “Senior Sister.”
Between his smile, Deng Shasha’s soul was almost gone.
Today’s Deng Shasha can be considered a thousand tempered. She has seen several handsome guys-such as perfect Jiang Yubai, romantic and suave Tan Qianche, conservative abstinence Lin Zeqiu… In contrast, Shen Jianxuan may not be as eye-catching as the three handsome guys in front at first glance, but He laughed so much, and his eyes were very unusual. Deng Shasha felt that he was not easy.
Deng Shasha took Lin Zhixia’s arm and walked forward side by side with her.
Duan Qiyan and Shen Jixuan quietly followed behind them.
In early September, there is still unabated heat, the sky is extremely clear, and the autumn wind is warm and dry. Duan Qiyan carried a heavy suitcase with a thin layer of sweat on his back. He coughed and discussed with Shen Jixuan: “Hey, you have nothing in your hand. Help me carry it for a while, okay?”
Shen Jixuan was as lazy as walking on campus: “How many years have we known each other?”
“We are iron buddies? Six years of classmates and friends.” Duan Qiyan replied expectantly.
Shen Jixuan smiled more gently: “It’s been six years, how come you still don’t know what kind of person I am? Think about it seriously, will I help you carry your luggage?”
Duan Qiyan’s last hope was extinguished by a basin of cold water. He concluded: “Hey, you won’t, you have no power to bind a chicken.”
The description of “there is no power to bind a chicken” made Shen Jixuan feel concerned. Shen Jixuan is just not good at sports activities, it has no effect on life. He raised his head helplessly and looked into the distance, just in time to see a familiar figure.
He acted decisively and said her name: “Jin Baihui.”
Lin Zhixia also sighed: “It’s really Jin Baihui!”
Jin Baihui still has a neat short hair. She was wearing a sports suit, framed glasses, thin body, neat clothes, mixed among the crowds of people, and she also had a copy of “A Essential Dictionary of English for Graduate Students” in her hand.
The shadow of the sun slanted slightly, the shadow of the tree shook, and Duan Qiyan stood still. He suddenly increased his strength with both hands, lifted the suitcase fiercely, and walked straight ahead. His pace was too fast, and Lin Zhixia hurriedly called him: “Duan Qiyan, wait for me, have you looked at the map? You have taken a diversion…”
Duan Qiyan’s suitcases are cheap, and the pulley broke on the way. He secretly made up his mind to buy a new one in a few days.
Now, he can only rely on his own strength to carry luggage like a mountain picker.
Jin Baihui is three meters away from him. As the so-called “enemies meet, they are extremely jealous”, Duan Qiyan raised his chest proudly, staring at Jin Baihui, his eyes swept across her face. He is also like a headless fly, wandering around this huge campus in the Middle East.
Jin Baihui turned a blind eye to Duan Qiyan.
When Lin Zhixia approached, Jin Baihui raised her head: “Are you a junior?”
“Yes,” Lin Zhixia did not shy away, “I will graduate next year.”
Jin Baihui said dryly: “Congratulations.”
Lin Zhixia nodded: “Come on.”
Jin Baihui asked again: “Cheer for yourself?”
“I’m cheering for you,” Lin Zhixia said sincerely, “I hope everything goes well for you in college.”
Looking at Duan Qiyan’s stubborn and tall back, she suddenly remembered something in the past, and tentatively said: “Time flies so fast, do you remember the winter vacation camp in junior high school?”
Jin Baihui pressed her lips tightly.
Lin Zhixia’s voice was even lighter: “We are alumni of middle school and university, in fact, we are very destined.”
Lin Zhixia will stop there. However, Jin Baihui understood her meaning.
Jin Baihui knew that Lin Zhixia was persuading her to apologize to Duan Qiyan.
In the winter vacation training camp that year, Jin Baihui firmly identified Duan Qiyan as a thief. Duan Qiyan stood alone on the podium and almost collapsed-this is the origin of Jin Baihui and Duan Qiyan’s antagonism.
Jin Baihui frowned slightly, and only said, “It’s a waste of time about Chen Zhizhi and rotten corn.”
Lin Zhixia waved to her: “Then I won’t disturb you, I’ll go now.”
Lin Zhixia walked out two steps, then suddenly turned around and asked her: “Are you free tonight? At half past six in the evening, I invite everyone to eat in the cafeteria.”
Jin Baihui said nothing. She didn’t promise or reject Lin Zhixia, which was in line with her indifference from childhood. She clutched a dictionary with her fingers. In the early autumn when the leaves were swaying, the sweat from her palm remained on the cover of the dictionary, printing a mist of sweat.
Under Deng Shasha’s guidance, Duan Qiyan and Shen Jixuan found their bedroom.
Soon, Duan Qiyan encountered a new challenge in life-he and Shen Jixuan were assigned to Room 304.
In other words, is Shen Jixuan Duan Qiyan’s roommate? !
Duan Qiyan had discovered it a long time ago. Shen Jixuan often teased him, but he couldn’t get angry with Shen Jixuan. As the saying goes-“reach out your hand and don’t hit the smiley person.” Shen Jixuan followed him like a shadow, just like his buddies, he was generous to buddies more than once or twice.
Duan Qiyan burst into air, sweating profusely and carried his luggage into room 304. Lin Zhixia wanted to help him when climbing the stairs, but he refused. Just kidding, how could he let a girl carry his luggage? Besides, the girl is still underage.
The environment of the 304 bedroom is better than Duan Qiyan imagined. The floor is clean, the balcony is bright, and there is no dirt on the bed. Duan Qiyan is satisfied.
He threw his luggage on the ground, squatted down to pack his things, while Shen Jixuan leaned against the door frame with his hands empty, looking at him condescendingly.
He couldn’t help asking: “Shen Shixuan, I just wanted to ask you, where’s your luggage? You didn’t bring any clothes, do you need someone to borrow it?”
Shen Jixuan took out his mobile phone and made a call. Before long, two young men in their twenties brought his luggage over. He handled VIP-level consignment services in the provincial capital—he was only willing to spend money, not effort.
Shen Jixuan’s behavior as a capitalist immediately reminded Lin Zhixia of Jiang Yubai. Jiang Yubai has also gone to college, is he used to eating in the cafeteria? Has he made new friends?
After returning to the bedroom, Lin Zhixia could not wait to have a QQ video chat with Jiang Yubai.
At around 5 pm Beijing time, Lin Zhixia was sitting on the bed, looking at the computer screen, and asked in surprise: “Jiang Yubai, is this your dormitory?”
Jiang Yubai’s room is very spacious, with transparent light and exquisite decoration. The furniture and furnishings in the room are all exquisite. There is also a pair of landscape oil paintings hanging on the wall. Under the oil paintings, there is a huge bed. A fluffy quilt covered with velvet.
“Your school is so rich, and your dormitory is so beautiful.” Lin Zhixia exclaimed.
Jiang Yubai said, “We haven’t officially started school yet, here is…”
“Your new house?” Lin Zhixia asked again.
Jiang Yubai revealed: “I bought it last year. I don’t live in school… This can be regarded as my dormitory.”
Lin Zhixia put her hands on her cheeks: “I will be able to visit next year.”
Next, Lin Zhixia talked about the progress of her PhD application.
In April of this year, she passed IELTS (English Proficiency Test) and GRE (American Graduate Admission Test), and the final scores of these two tests were close to full marks.
She also has letters of recommendation from three teachers, including Gu Likai, Shen Zhaohua, and the deputy dean of the academy. Her university’s average score is extremely high, her laboratory experience is rich, and her research results are quite outstanding.
After hearing her application background, Jiang Yubai couldn’t help but praised: “You will definitely succeed.”
“Right,” Lin Zhixia patted the bed frame, “Shen Jixuan, Duan Qiyan, and Tang Tingting are all here in Beijing. I will invite them to dinner at 6:30 tonight in the cafeteria.”
Since entering university, Lin Zhixia has devoted himself to studying and rarely participates in group activities.
Her classmates are top students from all over the country, and most of them have high demands on themselves and are usually a little busy. They have to write essays, prepare for examinations, enter the company for internships… In private, Lin Zhixia and his classmates have almost no intersection.
The arrival of Shen Jixuan and others reminded her of a happy high school life.
The social experience brought to her by middle school and university is different-in middle school, she has a good relationship with the whole class. In college, she had a deep friendship with the seniors in the laboratory.
She said to Jiang Yubai: “Tonight, if only you were there…”
Before Jiang Yubai answered, Lin Zhixia thought suddenly: “I brought the laptop to the cafeteria and put it on the table so that everyone could look at you. It would be equivalent to you coming.”
Lin Zhixia did what he said.
At 6:30 in the evening, Lin Zhixia held the laptop and appeared in front of the students. She still looks happy and in a particularly good mood. Everyone looked at her, she immediately turned to the computer screen, and solemnly introduced: “Jiang Yubai!”
Jiang Yubai sat on a sofa chair. His face is as handsome as ever. He proactively greeted: “I’m not in Beijing, so I can only use this method to attend your party…”
“Is Cambridge fun?” Duan Qiyan asked immediately.
“Not bad.” Jiang Yubai replied.
“This is a QQ video, right?” Duan Qiyan said, “You and Lin Zhixia must always have QQ videos…”
Jiang Yubai interrupted him: “What are you going to eat tonight?”
Lin Zhixia reported a list of dishes: “Cold noodles, rice bowls, braised pig’s feet, spicy hot pot! Jiang Yubai, do you like these dishes?”
I don’t like it at all.
Jiang Yubai was somewhat thankful that he was not at this table.
The students in the canteen came and went, and Shen Jixuan and Duan Qiyan helped bring several dishes. Shen Jixuan’s seat was close to Lin Zhixia. He handily served Lin Zhixia a bowl of dishes, put it in front of her, and set up chopsticks for her. She immediately said, “Thank you.”
The corners of Shen Jixuan’s lips twitched slightly and a smile returned.
Jiang Yubai watched the scene and tapped his fingertips on the table gently. He hated himself for not being there. He would rather eat a pot of spicy incense.
“How is your college classmate?” Shen Jixuan said again.
Lin Zhixia replied: “Very good, my roommate is very nice…”
Before she finished her words, Tang Tingting took a deep breath and sighed, “Xiaxia, the cold noodles in your school are so delicious! It’s September 1st today, and it’s still very hot. The cold noodles are too much for me.”
Then, she turned her head and asked Jiang Yubai: “It’s a pity that you are not here with us, can you eat cold noodles there?”
Tang Tingting’s bowl tilted, and the noodle soup splashed out and spilled on Duan Qiyan’s legs. Duan Qiyan “hissed”, Tang Tingting hurriedly wiped it with her hand, and Duan Qiyan immediately accused: “Did you deliberately, why did you touch my thigh?”
“Who wants to touch your thigh?” Tang Tingting asked him back.
Duan Qiyan said generously: “Forget it, you apologize to me.”
Tang Tingting sneered: “You wore such short pants to go out without covering your knees. Do you blame me for touching your thighs?”
Duan Qiyan didn’t want to be familiar with Tang Tingting. But he suddenly heard a “I’m sorry”—that was not Tang Tingting’s voice, he was full of excitement. The moment he turned his head, he saw Jin Baihui.
