Genius Girlfriend - v4 Chapter 104
In early July, with the help of Lin Zeqiu, Lin Zhixia packed up her things and left her alma mater for undergraduate.
Lin Zeqiu snatched all the heavy objects from Lin Zhixia. He dragged two suitcases, a huge backpack, and a heavy travel bag on his right shoulder.
July is the sweltering summer, the scorching sun is fiery, the heat waves are rolling, and the streets are hot. Lin Zeqiu’s sweat came out of his forehead, slid down along the line of his face, and stuck on his clothes, leaving a trace of no deepness or shallowness.
The levers of the suitcase were a bit stuck, and the wheels were not smooth enough, but the suitcase was full of clothes, shoes, skin cream, and odds and ends. Lin Zeqiu worked hard to **** her sister’s luggage, and did not dislike her with too many things and heavy boxes along the way.
Lin Zhixia was embarrassed: “Brother, are you tired? Give me the backpack and travel bag.”
“It’s not your turn to carry it,” Lin Zeqiu refused, “Don’t be stubborn with me, you are wasting my strength by pulling my bag.”
Lin Zhixia originally tightened the strap of his schoolbag, hearing his words, she immediately released her hand.
On the way back, Lin Zeqiu has been taking care of her. He bought her a box lunch on the train and washed a bowl of fresh strawberries-the strawberries were wrapped in foam paper after he bought them in the morning, stuffed into a school bag, and brought to the train. He also asked her: “Can I eat strawberries in Cambridge?”
“Yes.” Lin Zhixia confirmed.
He still sighed: “There are guns abroad that are poisonous. Goods, you usually stay in school, don’t go to remote suburbs alone.”
Lin Zhixia held a strawberry and did not answer.
This night, Lin Zeqiu slept unsteadily and woke up several times at night.
The wheels of the train rumbling loudly, he propped the bed with the elbow of his right hand and turned his head to look to the other side. He saw that Lin Zhixia was sleeping peacefully on the opposite bed. He remembered how she looked when she was a child-so short, so thin, with only a pair of big and bright eyes. She always looked up at him and asked him some particularly annoying questions, which made him suspect that he was a fool and that his sister was a normal person. But she grew up suddenly, understood others, and never hurt him anymore, so she just left.
He once felt extremely irritable because of her, why didn’t the heavens give him the same intelligence? Then he finally accepted the reality, and she was almost seventeen years old.
She is no longer afraid of ghost stories, no longer afraid of strangers, no fear of darkness, no escape from the unknown.
She can be on her own, and she can be the leader alone, and her parents are proud of her. In fact, he is also proud of her.
Lin Zeqiu’s eyes had a slight tide.
The sky outside the window of the car gradually brightened, the dawn of dawn broke through the night, the sky was bright, and the floating clouds were like clouds. He changed his clothes, sat by the window to admire the scenery, and calmed down slowly.
Although he has just turned 20, he has to admit that his mentality is like an old bird watching the bird fly away, with both ardent expectations and worries.
This summer, both Lin Zeqiu and Lin Zhixia stayed at home without any travel plans.
The lives of the siblings are full of rules. They go to bed early and get up early and keep exercising. However, Lin Zhixia occasionally slept in, and Lin Zeqiu went out for a morning jog alone. He often went around to a breakfast shop in the east gate of the community, brought back some biscuits, soup dumplings, and tofu nao, put them on the table, and then asked Lin Zhixia to get up.
After the meal, Lin Zeqiu wrote the code and Lin Zhixia read the book.
The doctoral supervisor gave Lin Zhixia a list of books, and she quickly finished reading those books. She is looking forward to the upcoming PhD life.
Up to now, she has prepared all the materials for studying abroad, and the visa is almost done. The school has assigned her a dormitory. She saw photos of the dormitory on the Internet-it is a single room with a set of desks and chairs, It has a single bed, a red sofa chair, separate toilet and bathroom.
The price of the dormitory is very expensive. The cost is calculated on a weekly basis. It is more than 100 pounds a week, and the total monthly price is more than 6,000 yuan. Even if Lin Zhixia has a scholarship, she still feels distressed. After all, her undergraduate dormitory fee is only 1,000 a year. RMB yuan.
Lin Zeqiu asked her if her scholarship was enough, and she said it was enough, but she felt that the prices abroad were so high. Lin Zeqiu taught her seriously: “You are talking to your classmates outside, don’t tell people that you think this is too expensive…”
“Why can’t you say?” Lin Zhixia asked.
Lin Zeqiu said with earnest heart: “It’s a bit poor, do you understand?”
Lin Zhixia smiled carelessly: “I don’t care what others think of me.”
This answer was beyond Lin Zeqiu’s expectation.
He sat on the sofa in the living room, watching Lin Zhixia finishing the manuscript.
The TV is playing a series called “Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan”. Both he and Lin Zhixia grew up watching this drama. The soundtrack in the play is the same as before, but he absent-mindedly, secretly thought: in just a dozen years, life has changed drastically.
He leans back on the sofa, his collar is loose, and his posture is lazy.
Lin Zhixia buttoned the folder and said to him: “Tomorrow, Tang Tingting and I will go shopping on the street and will not go home for dinner at noon.”
“What clothes to buy?” Lin Zeqiu asked smoothly.
Lin Zhixia did not answer.
A few minutes later, Lin Zhixia ran to her parents’ bedroom and spoke to her mother in a sweet tone: “Mom, I will go shopping for clothes with Tang Tingting tomorrow, and I won’t go home at noon. Mom, don’t wait for me. Mom will eat first.”
“Okay,” Mom was cleaning in the bedroom, “What will Xia Xia eat tomorrow night?”
Lin Zhixia started to order: “Broiled silver carp, braised prawns in oil, and fried pork with wild rice, okay?”
Mom readily agreed, and Lin Zhixia was happier.
Early the next morning, Lin Zhixia put on a one-month white dress and made her hair very delicate. She put on a dark blue bow and a little coral lipstick before she went out to play with Tang Tingting.
Today’s Tang Tingting is also very dazzling. She and Lin Zhixia walked arm in arm on the commercial street, really feeling that they were the most beautiful girls in the whole block. Occasionally, when a boy asks them for contact information, Tang Tingting will laugh and refuse on the spot: “It’s inconvenient, sorry.”
They walked some distance down the street and found a well-known underwear shop.
Lin Zhixia walked into the store openly, followed by Tang Tingting. She asked Lin Zhixia in a low voice: “What is your size?”
Lin Zhixia said in a lighter voice: “The bust has increased by one size. I want to buy some new underwear before going abroad.”
Soon, Tang Tingting discovered the magic of Lin Zhixia. Lin Zhixia is not willing to try on clothes in person. She only has to look at the structure of her underwear, and then stand quietly for a while, as if she has completed a try on through her imagination.
“Do you have…3D image modeling technology in your brain?” Tang Tingting asked suspiciously.
Lin Zhixia smiled: “Maybe there is.”
Tang Tingting was sweetened by her smile.
After Lin Zhixia bought the clothes, she walked out of the shop arm in arm with Tang Tingting. They sat down in the coffee shop next door to rest. Lin Zhixia bought two cups of strawberry sundaes, one of which was given to Tang Tingting, and the other for herself.
Tang Tingting leaned close to Lin Zhixia’s shoulder, took out her mobile phone, took a group photo, then took a photo of the strawberry sundae on the table, and finally added the text “Xia Xia and my summer vacation” before sending the photo to Qzone. Intentionally show off in the circle of Provincial No. 1 Middle School.
Tang Tingting waited patiently for ten minutes.
Lin Zhixia almost finished eating the strawberry sundae before Tang Tingting turned on the phone again. She received dozens of likes, and Jiang Yubai was the first to leave a message: “Very beautiful.”
Tang Tingting asked him: “Who is more beautiful?”
Jiang Yubai even said: “Strawberry Sundae.”
Tang Tingting made an “oh” lipstick: “He really has a hand, this emotional intelligence is much better than Duan Qiyan.”
“Duan Qiyan?” Lin Zhixia caught the point.
Tang Tingting said, “He is a little stupid.”
“He is not stupid,” Lin Zhixia tried hard to speak for Duan Qiyan, “he is in the top 30 of the province’s college entrance examination for science.”
Tang Tingting couldn’t help but refute Lin Zhixia.
The blazing sun outside and the dry air did not affect Tang Tingting and Lin Zhixia’s determination to go shopping. They wandered on the street for a while, bought some trinkets, and ate lunch in a Liangpi shop…It was not until four o’clock in the afternoon that they reluctantly left at the bus stop.
Lin Zhixia carried the things he bought today and went home happily.
At this time, it was already early August, and Jiang Yubai was still intern at a company in Beijing. From morning to night, he has to learn a lot. In contrast, Lin Zhixia is obviously more leisurely. She enjoyed a rare holiday and respected Jiang Yubai’s work, and she never took the initiative to call him.
Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai kept in touch through QQ, SMS, WeChat, etc., chatting intermittently. A regular life day after day, in late August, Jiang Yubai sent a text message to Lin Zhixia. He said that he would return to the provincial capital tonight and asked her if she was free? He wants to watch the fireworks with her.
Every August, several “Music Fireworks Festivals” are held in the provincial capital.
It is said that the grand fireworks are blooming like flowers, can be like clouds, can bloom in the night sky with a fleeting radiance, and the bright moon and stars are eclipsed by the brilliance and changes.
Lin Zhixia is yearning for it. But she has never seen it in person.
Jiang Yubai offered an invitation, and Lin Zhixia was pleased to attend the appointment.
That day happened to be Jiang Yubai’s birthday. Lin Zhixia brought a birthday gift specially prepared for him-it was a pair of small and cute wooden cat dolls. Lin Zhixia used a row of knives to carve out the kitten. One is called “Litchi” and the other one is called “Strawberry”.
Lin Zhixia clearly remembered that litchi was Jiang Yubai’s favorite fruit.
This year’s “Music Fireworks Festival” will officially open at 7:30 in the evening.
At around 7:20, Lin Zhixia arrived in the park.
There were many citizens with their families in the park. Lin Zhixia looked around and saw the old man holding a puff fan, and the child led by her parents… She wanted to call Jiang Yubai’s name, and there was a familiar voice behind her. Come: “I am here.”
Lin Zhixia turned her head and just met Shang Jiang Yubai’s gaze. They were standing by the lake in the park. She quietly approached a willow tree. The night wind blew her long skirt. The light skirt floated and her hair was a little messy, but in his opinion, she was beautiful and impeccable. .
The lights in the park were slightly dim, and she took out a pair of carved wood cats from the bag: “To you, happy birthday, Jiang Yubai.”
He accepted the gift and thanked her.
She asked again: “Why do you want to see the fireworks tonight?”
Before the words fell, the first cluster of fireworks was set off in the sky, and loud exclamations erupted from the crowd.
Brilliant flowers are red like roses, dotted with the boundless night sky, and the waves of the lake are like dreams and illusions, ripples rippling in the beautiful reflection. As the ripples spread from circle to circle, the fireworks gradually dissipated in the deep lake.
Lin Zhixia watched the night scene, but Jiang Yubai only looked at her: “Because I want to see you.”
She was taken aback for a moment.
He seemed to endure it for a long time, his voice dropped even lower, and he still said to himself: “I want to see you.”
He looked up at the sky, put his hands in his trouser pockets, his figure was long, standing still, like another tree rooted in the lake. He heard Lin Zhixia calling his name, and he lowered his head to look at her.
More fireworks were set off in the sky, the light and shadow reflected in his eyes, and there were waves in her heart. She felt the long-lost tension. The hot night breeze cooled the sweat in her palms, but made her mind boil for a while. She suddenly said to him, “Jiang Yubai, I like you, philosophy and biology. Like in the sense of learning.”
Jiang Yubai was frozen by her words. At that moment, the fireworks in front of me were not fireworks, but a vigorous cosmic explosion.
On this seventeen-year-old night, he almost cut off all noise from the outside world, and heard the sound of his accelerated heartbeat. So he used Lin Zhixia’s most understandable vocabulary and asked her directly: “Is this a sustainable, non-incidental, and deterministic feeling?”
Lin Zhixia answered without hesitation: “Of course.”
Her hair was blown to her eyes by the wind, and she raised her hand, trying to straighten her hair. However, Jiang Yubai pulled her hair behind her ears, and she unconsciously stepped back, just leaning against the willow tree.
She heard his light breathing, and saw his fingertips close to her cheek, only one centimeter away, and he withdrew his hand again in depression and restraint. Lin Zhixia smiled, holding his wrist and tilting her head quietly, her white face just pressed against his palm.
Jiang Yubai also smiled: “So you like me so much.”
“What about you?” Lin Zhixia asked him, “Do you like me?”
She already knew the answer.
But she still has to listen to him.
He seemed to be paying tribute in a temple. He was extraordinarily calm, calm, determined and sincerely said: “I like you very much.”
Lin Zhixia only thinks that every word of him is sweet. She seemed to have just eaten a piece of honey, and her bones were about to soften. She asked, “Do I have many advantages?”
Jiang Yubai briefly summarized: “The advantages are innumerable.”
“Since when did you like me? Elementary school?”
“No.”
“How about junior high school?”
“Not like.”
“High school?”
“I am not sure.”
Lin Zhixia took Jiang Yubai’s hand and walked out of the park with him. The firework convention is not over yet, and they just want to find a place to take a walk. At the corner of Long Street, there is no one around, Jiang Yubai’s right hand is about to burn. He held Lin Zhixia’s hand, fumbled for her finger bones, and stroked her fingertips. The simplest touch also made him uneasy, and he wanted to take a step closer.
Lin Zhixia is still immersed in the joy of successful confession.
Jiang Yubai found his driver and sent Lin Zhixia back to her home.
Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai bid farewell at the gate of Ancheng District. Jiang Yubai got out of the car and stood outside the gate, watching her disappear into the dim lights.
The new semester is about to begin.
He has never looked forward to school as much as he does today.
