Chapter 40 Return
A month later, Chi Jinjin left home again, but this time she was still very lucky because when she went to the next strange city, Tang Shi was still by her side.
After arriving at the station, Song Ci drove over to pick them up, first sent Chi Jinjin to the school gate, and then drove Tang Shi to her school.
Chi Jinjin looked up at the new school gate, which was exactly the same as the pattern on the bookmark.
She pulled her suitcase and stepped into this strange place.
With the help of my senior, I found my dormitory, which was a four-person dormitory.
"Are you from this dormitory too?"
The girl in bed number two came over and asked Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin nodded.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Zhou, and I'm also in this dormitory." The girl extended her hand and introduced herself.
"Hello." Chi Jinjin shook hands politely and replied, "My name is Chi Jinjin, just call me Jinjin."
"Okay, Jinjin." Zhou Zhou quickly became familiar with her and called her, then asked, "Jinjin, which department are you from?"
"Law, Class 527." Chi Jinjin returned.
Zhou Zhou said happily, "Oh, we are the same! Do you have other friends in the same class as you?"
Chi Jinjin shook her head, "No, it's just me."
"That's great. I don't have any friends either. How about we make friends, go to school together, and eat together in the future?" Zhou Zhou asked expectantly.
Chi Jinjin nodded.
Sometimes, the friendship between girls develops so quickly that just because of a few words, they can become inseparable in the future.
There was a class meeting in the evening, so Zhou Zhou and Chi Jinjin first took the books, then temporarily put them in the dormitory and went to the classroom.
There was a boy walking in front, and the book in his arms suddenly fell to the ground.
Chi Jinjin stepped forward to help him pick it up, but when the boy saw her, he said, "It's you, classmate Chi Jinjin."
Chi Jinjin was puzzled, "How do you know my name?"
She wondered, I don’t even know the person in front of me?
"Don't you know? You are a legend in our county. Your name is always above mine in the exams every year. It's hard for me not to know you." The boy laughed.
Chi Jinjin still couldn't remember the person in front of her. She must have never seen him before.
The boy seemed to see her confusion and simply introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Gao Yi."
When Chi Jinjin heard his name, she suddenly had some impression. There were only two people in their county who were admitted to Fuhua this year. One was her, and the other was the son of the village chief of the neighboring village, whose name seemed to be Gao Yi. Their family even held a celebration banquet.
"Hello." Chi Jinjin responded to him. Seeing the book in his arms was exactly the same as the new book she had just received, she asked in surprise, "Are you also in the law department?"
"Yes, I'm in Class 527, what about you?" Gao Yi replied.
Chi Jinjin said, "I'm also in 527."
"Really? That's such a coincidence. We will be classmates from now on." Gao Yi said with a smile.
Chi Jinjin nodded and said, "Let me get you some books."
"Thank you so much." Gao Yi said gratefully.
Chi Jinjin took some books and smiled back, "You're welcome."
Zhou Zhou also came over to help move some things, and the three of them walked upstairs while chatting.
From then on, she had another friend, Gao Yi, besides Zhou Zhou. On the way home, she also had Gao Yi by her side, and the long journey became much more interesting.
She and Gao Yi are friends in real life but enemies in academics. They often compete with each other and are the two top students in the law department and the teacher's favorites.
After Tang Shi settled down in school, she went to Chi Jinjin's school to find her during the Saturday holiday. She was worried that Chi Jinjin would be lonely and uncomfortable being alone in school.
But she saw Chi Jinjin, Zhou Zhou, Gao Yi and others together. The three of them were talking and laughing, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Chi Jinjin made a new friend, and logically she should be happy for her, but when she saw her holding hands with another girl, as if they had a good relationship, she felt a little lost in her heart.
Chi Jinjin suddenly saw Tang Shi in the distance and waved to her, "Tang Shi! I'm here!"
Tang Shi slowly came to her.
"Why are you here?" Chi Jinjin asked happily.
Tang Shi glanced at Zhou Zhou and Gao Yi and replied, "I came to find you to go out and play together."
"That's perfect. They and I are planning to go out too. Let's go together." Chi Jinjin said happily.
Tang Shi nodded, but he was not very willing in his heart.
Along the way, Chi Jinjin and Zhou Zhou discussed professional issues that she didn't understand. Seeing that they had so much to talk about, Tang Shi's sense of loss became even more serious. She suddenly felt like she was redundant and could not fit into Chi Jinjin's world.
During the meal, Chi Jinjin found that Tang Shi was a little quiet. She felt that Tang Shi seemed unhappy, but she didn't understand why Tang Shi was unhappy.
When it was time to part, Chi Jinjin asked Zhou Zhou and Gao Yi to go back first, and then she was alone with Tang Shi.
"Why don't you go with them?" Tang Shi asked.
Chi Jinjin said, "Because I want to know why you are not so happy today?"
"I'm not unhappy..." Tang Shi said hypocritically.
Chi Jinjin nodded and said deliberately, "Okay, maybe I'm overthinking it, then I'll go back."
As she said this, she made a gesture to leave.
"Hey!" Tang Shi grabbed Chi Jinjin's arm and asked, "Jinjin, you have more and more friends now. Will you forget me as a friend?"
Chi Jinjin understood why she was unhappy.
Smiling, he walked back to her, took her arm, and said, "What are you thinking about? I may have more and more friends, but you are my only best friend, and no one can replace you."
"That's more like it." Tang Shi's disappointment was swept away, and she felt happy. She said, "Actually, I'm just afraid that you will become more and more outstanding, and I will not be able to reach your circle in the future, and we will become people from two different worlds."
"How is that possible? Impossible." Chi Jinjin laughed, "No matter what our identities or status are in the future, we are always birds of a feather."
"Is that how the word is used?"
"Hey, you haven't even become a teacher yet, and you're already acting like one?"
Chi Jinjin teased.
"Don't give me that." Tang Shi was amused by Chi Jinjin.
In this world, jealousy doesn't just come from love. Sometimes, friendships between girls can also be jealous, and that's not much different from love...
Nan Xuqiu came back from outside and opened the door, only to see a room full of people in his house, the music was deafening, and there were wine bottles and food everywhere on the floor.
"Brother Xuqiu, you're back?" Lin Shuya came forward and said happily.
Nan Xuqiu glanced at the other people in the room and asked, "What's going on?"
"We are having a party, but I was afraid that my house would be targeted by paparazzi, so we came to your house. But don't worry, I will ask someone to clean up later." Lin Shuya replied.
Nan Xuqiu didn't say anything. He walked over and picked up his trampled book from under the table.
Lin Shuya was surprised and said hurriedly, "Brother Xuqiu, I... I didn't see your book here. I'll buy you another one when the time comes."
"No need." Nan Xuqiu replied, then went back into his room, took out all the things in the closet, and folded them into the suitcase.
Seeing this, Lin Shuya hurriedly asked, "Brother Xuqiu, what are you doing?"
"Move to another place." Nan Xuqiu replied, his tone becoming cold.
Lin Shuya noticed that Nan Xuqiu was angry, and signaled everyone watching at the door to leave, and then Nan Xuqiu apologized.
But Nan Xuqiu still insisted on moving out of his current residence and finding another one.
Two years later, Chi Jinjin was already a junior. Because she and Gao Yi had excellent grades and were considered representatives of both good character and good academic performance in the eyes of the department teachers, the two were arranged together to record a law department recruitment video.
"Stand closer," the teacher said in front of the camera. "Don't be shy. You are the face of our law department."
Gao Yi took the initiative to approach Chi Jinjin. Someone came next to him. Chi Jinjin subconsciously turned her head to look at him, and the two of them happened to look at each other at this moment.
"Yes, that's right." The teacher smiled with satisfaction and asked them to keep this posture. He took a photo of them together for cover promotion.
After taking a shower, Lin Shuya walked out of the bathroom wearing only a white T-shirt and shorts, her hair still wet.
Nan Xuqiu was reading a book on the sofa. She slowly walked over to him and sat down.
"Brother Xuqiu?" Lin Shuya called him softly.
Nan Xuqiu glanced at her and said, "Why don't you blow-dry your hair?"
"I'm too lazy to blow." She pressed her whole body against Nan Xuqiu's, staring at him intently.
But Nan Xuqiu just looked at the book in his hand and did not respond to her intimate gesture.
"Brother Xuqiu, stop reading. Don't you feel bored reading this crappy book every day?" Lin Shuya took the book from his hand and threw it on the ground. She straddled her long legs and sat directly on Nan Xuqiu's lap and kissed him on the face.
"Brother Xuqiu, let's do something interesting?" Her eyes were full of charm at this moment. Her long arms wrapped around Nan Xuqiu's neck, staring at his lips slowly.
But at this time, Nan Xuqiu turned his head away, raised his hand and pulled off her arms that were hanging around his neck, pushed her aside, and stood up from the sofa.
"Brother Xu Qiu?" Lin Shuya looked at him in confusion, her eyes full of doubt and unwillingness.
Nan Xuqiu bent down and picked up the book on the ground. Without any explanation, he said, "You have an announcement tomorrow, so go to bed early."
After saying that, he left Lin Shuya's house directly.
Lin Shuya angrily threw the pillow next to her to the ground.
Nan Xuqiu returned to his home. The room was dim. He did not turn on the lights, but walked into the bedroom and sat down on the platform in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with one foot on the platform and the other foot hanging over the edge. The bright moonlight shone on his profile, and he raised his eyes and looked slowly.
"I like you, but I'm too timid. I always retreat and avoid you again and again. I only dare to tell you to the moon..."
For some reason, every time when he was upset, he would inadvertently think of Chi Jinjinlai, who was sometimes timid and sometimes fearless.
At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang. Nan Xuqiu opened it and saw that it was Song Ci who sent a video call.
Nan Xuqiu answered the call, and soon Song Ci's face appeared on the screen.
"Lao Nan, where are you? Why are you so dark?" Song Ci asked.
Nan Xuqiu replied briefly, "Home."
"Then you went to bed too early. But I received the gift you gave me. It's great. You really understand me." Song Ci praised me.
It turns out that today is Song Ci’s birthday.
Judging from the video, it was very lively over there. Nan Xuqiu glanced carefully behind him and said, "Move your phone to the left. I can't see you anymore."
"Oh." Song Ci moved the phone a little to the left.
Sure enough, the person in the corner was Chi Jinjin. There was still cream on her face. She was sitting with Tang Shi. I don’t know what they were talking about, but she was smiling happily, as bright as before.
"Lao Nan, are you sure you can see me like this?" Song Ci asked in confusion.
Nan Xuqiu glanced at it and saw only Song Ci's head above him on the screen. He replied calmly, "Yeah."
"Song Ci, come here!" Tang Shi called him from behind.
Song Ci hung up the video call and ran to her side.
Nan Xuqiu did not log out immediately, but clicked on the contacts. He did not have many contacts. He used to have eleven, but after deleting Chi Jin, there were only ten left.
I used to be afraid that she would still be obsessed with me, so I deleted her as a friend. But now it seems that I am the one who is still obsessed with her?
Nan Xuqiu turned off his phone and looked out the window again...
Time is a gentle hand hidden in the darkness. When you are distracted and dazed, the stars move and things move away. Another year passes, and the seasons change and spring comes again.
Chi Jinjin and Tang Shi spent the whole day at the mall on the weekend. In the evening, Song Ci said that they had booked a private room to go singing together, and Tang Shi asked Song Ci to come and pick them up.
Soon they met at the mall.
"Why are you so late?" Tang Shi questioned Song Ci.
Song Ci said, "It's just that there's a traffic jam on the road."
Tang Shi looked behind him and asked, "Why are you alone? Where is Ji Yang?"
"He went to pick someone up and asked us to wait for him here." Song Ci replied.
"Oh." Tang Shi said.
Song Ci remembered something and asked them again, “Do you remember that in high school, there was a girl named Shen Moli in your class?”
"I remember, that's it?" Tang Shi replied. Although she couldn't even remember the man's face when she mentioned him, she still got angry.
Song Ci said, "I just heard that she cheated in the college entrance examination and was arrested and taken to the police station. All her college entrance examination results were canceled."
Having said that, Chi Jinjin seemed to vaguely remember that she had indeed not seen Shen Moli's name on the list of results. At that time, she was thinking about herself and didn't care. It turned out to be like this.
"Damn, she's so bold! She even dared to cheat on the college entrance exam." Tang Shi gloated, then suddenly frowned and questioned Song Ci, "Why do I feel like you care about her so much that you even want to know her news?"
"What are you asking? I just heard it occasionally." Song Ci replied.
Tang Shi stepped forward and kicked him, saying, "I don't believe it. Tell me, are you still obsessed with her?"
"What bullshit are you talking about? I've never had any interest in her at all!"
Chi Jinjin silently watched the two people fighting and quarreling in front of her. She used to be worried, but now she has become accustomed to it.
"Hey! No loud noises allowed in public, you two rascals!"
Ji Yang's voice suddenly came from above her head. Chi Jinjin turned around and looked up, only to see Ji Yang standing by the glass railing of the second-floor overpass. However, a boy slowly walked out from behind him, and that person was Nan Xuqiu!
