Chapter 13 Chapter 13 This young man is young, but he has many tricks...
Mrs. Lin remained calm, raised her eyes slightly, and stared at Lin Qianyuan quietly.
She acted as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her. She was an outsider who stayed out of the situation, her emotions stable enough to tolerate all the farce.
Who doesn't know that domestic pets are not capable of attacking passersby at will, unless their owners have not properly leashed them?
Lin Qianyuan thought that next time she must tell Wu Ma that if these two ladies enter this small building again, Wu Ma should stand aside holding her sister so that they can see what a polite pet looks like.
Lin Qianyuan casually tossed the tissue into the trash can, its arc perfectly reflecting her current emotions. The trash can shook, and Lin Qianyuan perfectly matched the look Mrs. Lin wanted to see.
Mrs. Lin doesn't like using electronic products, so Lin Qianyuan wrote on a piece of paper with a pencil: "I'm sorry, I got up late today and took up a lot of your time."
Mrs. Lin finally let go of her skirt, her hands resting on her legs. With a nonchalant smile on her face, she picked up the pen and said, "You told me yesterday."
[I happened to be feeling a bit sleepy on the way here, so I stopped by to rest for a while.]
[Would you like to rest further?]
Lin Qianyuan looked up at her, the sympathy in his eyes truly imitating her noble demeanor. [I can wait until you have rested well before we go.]
Mrs. Lin stared at the words on the paper for a long time, then smiled and said, "No need."
Lin Qianyuan nodded meekly, "Okay."
There was nothing much to talk about between them. On the way to the hospital, Lin Qianyuan was so bored that she kept unlocking her phone, locking it, and unlocking it again. She never got tired of it.
Noticing that someone was watching her, she inadvertently stopped what she was doing, and the screen saver on her phone continued to light up.
Mrs. Lin recognized the woman in the screensaver, wearing a cheongsam, holding flowers, and smiling sweetly at the camera, without even taking a second look.
The woman who had almost taken her place.
Suddenly there was a sneering sound in the car, which was full of ridicule and contempt.
Lin Qianyuan couldn't hear, but that didn't stop her from imagining the expression on the person next to her face. Having thought so, she acted accordingly, their gazes meeting for a moment, both unexpected and expected.
As if frightened by the look of the person next to her, she hurriedly let go of the phone, and it fell to her feet.
There was no paper or pen in the car, so Lin Qianyuan quickly picked up his phone and looked very apologetic. "Is it because I didn't turn off the silent mode on my phone that I disturbed you, Madam Lin?"
She bit her lip, lowered her head, and continued in fear and trepidation: "I didn't mean to do that."
Mrs. Lin leaned to the side, neither answering the question nor denying that she had seen it. Instead, she asked with a sigh, "How long has Wenci been gone?"
I’m old and can’t remember clearly.
Mrs. Lin turned her head to look out the car window. The leaves of the sycamore trees had fallen, and the withered yellow leaves on the road flew past her eyes, just like the time that was passing by in a trance.
[You guys were on this road when the incident happened, right? It seemed like it was after Chinese New Year. Look at me, I really can't remember the exact day.]
Mrs. Lin patted her hand considerately. "You're so thoughtful. You must be the only one in the world who still cares about her."
The car just happened to stop in the parking space in front of the hospital. She let go of his hand, smiled gently, and said, "Let's go," and then she got out of the car first.
Lin Qianyuan looked at her back, her eyes dark and unclear, but she inexplicably wanted to laugh in her heart, so she got out of the car.
This is a private hospital. Before I even got close, someone who had been waiting outside the door came up to me and said, "Miss Ji."
Madam Lin nodded slightly, glanced back, and confirmed that Lin Qianyuan was behind her before she said to him, "If it's convenient, take us there now."
"Okay," the man agreed respectfully.
After entering the elevator, the man pressed the eighth and tenth floors. When they arrived at the eighth floor, he led Lin Qianyuan out of the elevator first, leaving Mrs. Lin to go to the top floor alone.
Outside the dean's office, Mrs. Lin knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in," a voice came from inside, and the door was opened. He shifted his gaze from the computer screen. After seeing who came in clearly, he continued to stare at the computer, pretending not to see it.
Mrs. Lin sat down and said, "Dad."
Dean Ji remained silent, and Madam Lin just stared at him. After all, she had raised him with all her heart. He took off his glasses and asked, "Did you come here with that kid from the Lin family?"
Mrs. Lin nodded lightly.
Dean Ji stared at her, and within a moment, he spoke as he had done back then: "Huaijun, is this really the life you wanted?"
It's just a mess.
From Ji Huaijun to Mrs. Lin, he asked her this question frequently.
Before being arranged by his family to give up medicine and go into business, Lin Fusheng was a student of Dean Ji. One Spring Festival, he came to visit Ji's house.
That was the first time Ji Huaijun met Lin Fusheng.
The young lady from a scholarly family blushed. Love words are rare in this world. Their first encounter, woven through the long river of time, was buried by fine sand, only to be blew by the wind, leaving only her eyes red again. She brushed aside the sand, stubbornly refusing to let go, never realizing that the tighter she held onto it, the faster it would slip away, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye.
Lin Qianyuan sat alone on a chair outside the examination room, unlocked her phone, and changed the screen saver back to the original one. Facing the photo of Song Wenci, she pressed delete, and the phone automatically popped up a confirmation option. After a few seconds, Lin Qianyuan clicked confirm.
She switched to the chat software and asked, "Teacher Pei, if you lose an argument with someone, what would you do?"
Pei Lanqing was in class at the moment. When he saw the message, he put down his pen and asked, "Why are you arguing?"
Lin Qianyuan: [It's just a small matter.]
Although the matter was not serious, she lost the argument after all. Pei Lanqing was a little worried about her mood, and even more worried about the other person's personal safety.
This class was about criminal law. Pei Lanqing flipped the book back, took a photo and sent it over.
Lin Qianyuan clicked on it: [Intentional injury refers to the act of intentionally and illegally injuring another person's body. Anyone who intentionally injures another person's body shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, or controlled release.]
Pei Lanqing: [It's okay if we lose the argument. We won't argue with others. You're still young, it's not good to make a big mistake.]
After a long time, Lin Qianyuan replied: [Oh.]
She changed the subject, "Teacher Pei, if the doctor suddenly told you that your lower limbs would be paralyzed, what would you do?"
Pei Lanqing was caught off guard by his saliva, coughing softly. He unconsciously glanced at his legs and answered truthfully, "Actively cooperate with treatment and avoid seeking medical advice."
Are you in the hospital?
【Um. 】
Pei Lanqing seemed to realize why she made such an assumption. After a moment, he asked, "Are you scared?"
Lin Qianyuan: [No.]
Without waiting for his reply, she sent a message, "I'm busy here, my phone is turned off."
Pei Lanqing: [Okay.]
November was already mid-November, and Pei Lanqing was busy not only attending classes but also reviewing courses that had finished earlier.
He prefers to study alone. Once he is immersed in it, it is difficult to be disturbed. It is normal for him to not be able to find anyone. Therefore, he does not go back to the dormitory at noon, but goes straight back to the library after lunch.
Song Jue walked around the fifth floor of the library for a full circle. Just when she suspected that her clubmate was lying, she saw the person she was looking for.
Song Jue walked over, gently pulled out a chair, put down his bag, and took out the book he wanted to review.
From the time she pulled out the chair to the time she took out the book, the person opposite her didn't even glance over at her.
Song Jue found a pen and wrote a few words on the notepad. Then he hesitated for a few seconds, turned the paper around, and handed it over.
It wasn't until then that Pei Lanqing noticed someone sitting across from him. He first glanced at a note that read, "What a coincidence." His gaze drifted across to the table.
Song Jue smiled at him. Pei Lanqing smiled and nodded, then handed the note back. He lowered his head and went back to reading.
Song Jue pursed his lips slightly, opened the book, occasionally secretly looked up at the opposite side, then quickly hid his face and hid behind the book, the smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared.
Winter nights come early. Small lights are hung on the trees outside the library. The warm yellow light sneaks into the eyes of the person standing by the window from the side, matching his temperament, gentle and calm.
Pei Lanqing marked the content he had finished reviewing, closed the book, and prepared to come back after dinner to continue reviewing.
"Where are you going?" Song Jue took a few quick steps and followed him.
This place is close to the stairs and away from the study area, so you can talk quietly.
Pei Lanqing looked in the direction of the voice, but before he could open his mouth, the person in front of him asked, "Are you planning on having dinner?"
Song Jue hesitated again and again, "How about..." Her cheeks flushed, her head lowered lower and lower, she hesitated for several seconds, but still did not say the following invitation.
She wanted to ask, "How about we go together?"
"No," Pei Lanqing smiled apologetically. His phone in his coat pocket vibrated at that moment. He took it out, not unlocking it, but still glanced down. "I have something else to do. I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he turned and left, not towards the elevator, but back.
Song Jue saw him tidying up the books on the table from afar. She looked away and remained silent.
Pei Lanqing didn't take the elevator downstairs. The cell phone in his pocket was vibrating continuously. Without thinking too much, Pei Lanqing could guess who it was.
He had only met one person who was looking for someone in this way.
Pei Lanqing leaned against the stairwell wall, a sense of resignation building within him. He pressed the answer button, resigned to fate. After the call was connected, the person on the other end began to speak, "Are you busy tonight?"
"If you have nothing to do, please have dinner with me."
"I'm at the gate of your school now."
"I..." Pei Lanqing had just opened his mouth when the only sound from the other end of the phone was a beep.
“…”
She couldn't hear me, so if she couldn't hear me, why was she still so keen on calling? Pei Lanqing sighed and found the chat box with Lin Qianyuan. [I have something to do.]
What's going on?
The top of each screen showed that the other was typing. Lin Qianyuan typed faster. [The test results are out.]
Pei Lanqing deleted the rejection he was about to send and pondered for a few seconds. [Is the situation okay?]
This time, Lin Qianyuan didn't reply for several minutes.
Is this not good? The dim light reflected from the phone gradually dimmed. Pei Lanqing walked downstairs. After climbing a few steps, he stopped and sent a message: [Which door are you at?]
In less than ten minutes, he overturned his own thoughts and subconsciously called her.
It rang several times before the other party picked up and quickly hung up.
Lin Qianyuan responded to his last question, [Ximen.]
Pei Lanqing walked out of the library quickly.
It was the end of get out of class time, and the students walking on the road were all rushing to the dormitory or cafeteria, and few people were heading to the door.
The Imperial Capital University exudes an exceptionally charming charm at night. The downlights shine directly on these four golden characters, and the light of knowledge makes people unable to take their eyes away.
The driver came to his senses and saw through the rearview mirror that Lin Qianyuan's eyes were fixed on the school gate.
The half-lowered window wasn't enough for her to see the school name without looking up. She was waiting for someone. Thinking back to the strange smile on her face just now, he shuddered for no reason.
The face reflected in the rearview mirror suddenly smiled with relaxed brows. The driver turned around and saw a charming young man running out of the school gate.
Pei Lanqing paused for a moment, and after passing the sidewalk in front of the school gate, he ran to Lin Qianyuan in the evening breeze.
Lin Qianyuan was looking at him.
Pei Lanqing's hair was slightly damp, a few strands of hair on her forehead ruffled by the wind. She lay casually, her eyes hidden behind her soft and deep, her dark, bright pupils reflecting only her. He smiled and asked her to stretch out her hand, then placed something in her palm.
Lin Qianyuan looked down. It was a piece of candy. The colorful wrapper made it look glittering. The streetlights on both sides of the road suddenly lit up, and the light fell on them, clear and transparent.
The driver shook his head. This young man didn't look stupid. Since he was admitted to Imperial Capital University, he must be smart enough. Recalling Lin Qianyuan's expression when he received the call, the uncle only felt regretful.
He accidentally saw Lin Qianyuan following the other person with his eyes, waiting for him to get on the car. He closed his eyes and didn't bear to watch! Oh, oh, oh, he remembered that Miss Lin was very happy when she came to Imperial Capital University last time. The driver secretly complained in his heart, this young man is not very old, but he has a lot of tricks.
Pei Lanqing closed the car door and stuffed the large bag of candy from her schoolbag into Lin Qianyuan's arms, explaining, "I bought these on the way, so I came out a little late."
Lin Qianyuan just clenched the piece in his hand tightly, not caring about anything else. She typed on his phone, "Why buy it?"
Pei Lanqing blushed slightly, trying to console himself that it was due to his recent run. He typed slowly, "Because I'm afraid you'll be sad."
Pei Lanqing saw that she was still looking at her phone, and fearing she might misunderstand something, he quickly added, "I don't mean to express any sympathy. I just want to say that I'm worried you might be a little sad."
Lin Qianyuan remained silent. She now felt that the doctors in that hospital were all quacks. She did have a problem, but it wasn't with her ears or her immune system, it was with her heart. But just those two sentences had her heart pounding.
City roads are extremely congested during the evening rush hour.
The vehicle originally in the right lane suddenly changed lanes, and the driver slammed on the brakes. Due to inertia, the person in the back seat leaned forward uncontrollably.
Pei Lanqing raised his hand in time to protect Lin Qianyuan's forehead.
"Did you hit anything?" he asked.
Lin Qianyuan looked at him, unable to read his lips and not caring to. The driver glanced anxiously back, wondering how to explain. Just as he opened his mouth, he saw Lin Qianyuan leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed.
The car fell into an eerie silence. However, the candies, spread all over the car, made a very noticeable presence. At first glance, it looked like a sky full of stars.
After the car stopped, Pei Lanqing bent down to pick it up, but Lin Qianyuan held his wrist and said, "Don't pick it up."
Pei Lanqing was silent for a moment after hearing this, not noticing the movement of her hands. He asked cautiously, "Don't you want it anymore?"
"Yes," Lin Qianyuan asked him, "Why not?"
"That……"
"I don't want you to pick it up."
"Uncle Chen," Lin Qianyuan ordered, "Clean up this place later."
Uncle Chen nodded quickly and turned around to Pei Lanqing and said, "Don't worry, just leave it to me later." As long as Miss Lin didn't pursue the brake issue, he would do anything.
Pei Lanqing smiled sheepishly, "Sorry to bother you."
Uncle Chen was about to say a few more words to him with a smile, but after receiving a not-so-pleasant warning look, he immediately cut to the chase, "No trouble, no trouble."
Lin Qianyuan opened the car door, and before getting out, she turned around and said to him, "Pei Lanqing, you have to accompany me for dinner."
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Lin Qianyuan (domineering version): You have to accompany me for dinner, so don’t talk to others.
Pei Lanqing (young wife version): Oh oh oh, okay.
Uncle Chen (the candy-picking version): These two are exactly the same!
Author (crying with joy): I met a lot of little angels today, and my collection increased a lot. Thank you! (crying)
