The last time I called home was half a month ago. It was early June, the wheat harvest season, and my parents were very busy. They hung up after just a few words.
Half a month has passed, and the wheat at home must have been harvested. I wonder if the peanuts and corn have been planted.
"Jiaojiao, does heavy rain often occur in your plain area?" Lu Chen asked.
"It often rains in the summer, but not as often as in W City. However, we don't have typhoons there."
Lu Chen thought about the differences between plains and coastal cities and said, "Jiaojiao, typhoons are very scary. Try to stay out of the house during heavy rain."
"I see. Thank you, Lu Chen."
Lu Chen was a little reluctant, and said in a rather foul tone, "Little Lamb, what is our relationship? Why are you being so polite to me?"
Lin Jiaojiao knew Lu Chen was joking, so she didn't respond and changed the subject. "Lu Chen, are you from H City?"
"That's right." Lu Chen said, and suddenly laughed, "Jiaojiao, let me tell you, when I applied for college in the college entrance examination, my mother cried and refused to let me apply to a university in another city, so I applied to a university in H City."
"I can't bear to part with you." Lin Jiaojiao said, jokingly, "Our Lu Chen is too outstanding. Auntie is afraid that someone will trick you away."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Lu Chen couldn't help but recall that past event.
His mother was afraid that he would go abroad with Su Yu. The old lady just loved to worry about things. How could she do that when he had no plans to go abroad?
And even if he went abroad to study, it was not for Su Yu, but because he felt he needed it.
But when he heard the little sheep say the words "our Lu Chen", the past seemed to be forgotten. His heart beat unusually fast, but his tone was still very arrogant, as if he was hiding something, "Of course, I am just that good."
The two chatted casually about family matters. Lu Chen himself found it incredible. He never thought that one day he would chat about family matters with a girl and still feel unsatisfied.
Lu Chen was playing with the small box when he suddenly remembered that Little Sheep didn't answer his call. He started asking, "Little Sheep, who were you calling just now? I called two or three times but your line was always busy."
Lu Chen's thoughts are really jumping around. Why did he turn to this topic again?
"With my friend, what's the matter?" Lin Jiaojiao said.
After saying that, he felt a little pain in his waist from lying down, so he sat up again. He placed a doll pillow behind and in front of him, and poked them unconsciously with his little fingers.
On the table under the bed, the system cat was still crunching snacks like a little mouse.
The atmosphere was inexplicably warm.
Lu Chen's fingers gripping the box tightened unconsciously, his tone as casual as when he was chatting with his family just now, "What friend? Is it the person who helped you out last time?"
Lin Jiaojiao opened her rosy little mouth slightly in surprise. Lu Chen was really smart.
Thinking so, Lin Jiaojiao also praised, "Lu Chen, you are so amazing, you can guess this."
Although the girl praised him sweetly, Lu Chen was not as happy as before.
He didn't know what was wrong, and felt inexplicably lost.
But he couldn't ask Jiaojiao to have only him as a friend, as that would be too selfish.
"Little Lamb, are you two on good terms?" Lu Chen asked, unconsciously holding his breath.
Lin Jiaojiao paused her shaking legs as she listened to Lu Chen's words, and subtly sensed that something was wrong with his mood.
She did not respond to Lu Chen's words, but said, "Lu Chen, you are my best friend."
Lu Chen didn't want to laugh, but he couldn't control the upward movement of the corners of his lips.
"Smooth talk!"
"Lu Chen, you're talking about me!" The girl said angrily, "I declare that from now on you are no longer my best friend."
After being interrupted by Jiaojiao, Lu Chen returned to his usual nonchalant attitude, "It's okay, Jiaojiao is my best friend."
"Lu Chen, you are changing the concept." Lin Jiaojiao was a little dissatisfied.
"Okay, I was wrong. Little Lamb, please don't be so petty with me, okay?"
Lu Chen suddenly gave in, with an inexplicable doting tone in his voice.
Lin Jiaojiao was stunned and felt a little uncomfortable.
She and Lu Chen were just having fun, so why did he suddenly give in and let her do nothing?
The little lamb was very quiet and didn't say anything.
Lu Chen was a little uncertain. Was the little sheep really angry?
"Jiaojiao?"
"Ah...what's wrong?"
Hearing the girl's dazed tone, Lu Chen couldn't help laughing. He was really overthinking it. With the little lamb's temper, she usually wouldn't be angry with him.
"What is our Jiaojiao thinking about? She is in a daze."
"I didn't think about anything." Lin Jiaojiao's cheeks felt inexplicably hot, and she lowered her head and said angrily.
The two then chatted for a long time before hanging up the phone.
Looking at the call record that had ended, Lu Chen still felt a little reluctant.
I have been chatting with the little sheep for nearly an hour, but it still feels like it’s not enough.
What's wrong with him?
Suddenly I felt anxious and worried.
As he was thinking, Lu Chen suddenly realized that something was wrong!
He was fooled by the little lamb!
He clearly asked whether she had a good relationship with that man, but she replied that he was her best friend.
He was so happy to hear it that he laughed like a fool and his brain was no longer working.
——
As soon as I hung up the phone with Lu Chen, there was a knock on the dormitory door.
"Lin Jiaojiao, open the door, why did you lock it!" Wang Xiaoshi's voice was so loud that it seemed to penetrate the entire corridor.
The system cat, which had been eating for more than an hour, shivered with fear with its bulging belly.
Then the cat eyes widened in disbelief!
This majestic and domineering system is actually frightened by human voices!
Oh my god! It's been infected by the host and has become timid!
How terrible! How terrible!
Lin Jiaojiao didn't know what the system was thinking, so she urged quietly, "Tongtong, stop eating and become invisible quickly."
[Oh] The system said listlessly and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the mess on the table.
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the table speechlessly. She must teach the system a lesson next time and tell it not to throw garbage around.
"Lin Jiaojiao, you are not asleep, are you? Open the door!" Wang Xiaoshi didn't hear any movement and knocked harder.
Lin Jiaojiao woke up instantly, quickly got out of bed, and ran to open the door, "I'm coming!"
As soon as she opened the door, Lin Jiaojiao was a little surprised.
Because Wang Xiaoshi was in such a mess, her clothes were wet, and there were green unknown objects on them, a bit like leaves, and dirt. Her bun was also messy, and the loose hair on her forehead was wet by the rain and stuck to her forehead, and her makeup was a little smudged.
"Shishi, what's wrong with you?" Lin Jiaojiao asked carefully.
"It's all because of that big idiot Wang Yu." Wang Xiaoshi was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick, and she shouted loudly.
Lin Jiaojiao quickly pulled her into the house and closed the dormitory door. It would be troublesome if she was complained about, but it was related to her academic credits.
"Do you want to take a shower first? Don't catch a cold." Lin Jiaojiao suggested.
Wang Xiaoshi was so angry that she couldn't listen to anything. She slammed her bag on the ground and sat down on the stool without caring about the dirt on her body.
