Lin Chaoxi was very confused. What was going on?
There were so many WeChat messages that she could only keep scrolling through them. Not only were there more than a dozen missed calls on WeChat, but there were also many messages urging her.
Liu Zhiyuan - Even if you didn't want to go, you should have rejected me directly. What's the point of doing this now?
Liu Zhiyuan——Where are you?
Liu Zhiyuan——Why don’t you answer the phone?
Liu Zhiyuan - Director Chen is very busy, and this time he has reserved time specifically for your father.
She kept sliding it up, and finally, she saw it.
Liu Zhiyuan - I have contacted the chief of neurosurgery. He is free on Friday. I will come to pick you up.
Lin Chaoxi was so shocked that she seemed to have seen such a WeChat message when she was in the library yesterday. But she did not reply because she was interrupted by a call notifying her of a meeting.
In fact, it’s not that she forgot to reply, because she was hesitating whether to block him directly or delete him as a friend. After being interrupted, she completely forgot about it.
Lin Chaoxi went through the records from top to bottom again. How could there be a person like Liu Zhiyuan in the world? She didn't agree at all...
At this moment, her cell phone received another call. The caller was the academic director of her previous internship school.
Lin Zhaoxi picked up the phone bewilderedly.
"Xiao Lin, what's wrong with you?" The director asked right away.
Lin Zhaoxi: “…”
"Look, Xiao Liu had good intentions. He even took the initiative to help your father contact the hospital. How could you just let him go?"
"If both parties have agreed, it is called 'letting the pigeons go'. Unilaterally making decisions on one side does not fall into the category of 'letting the pigeons go'."
"What's your attitude?"
The director's voice was too loud, so Lin Chaoxi moved the phone away from his ear.
"I shouldn't have introduced an irresponsible girl like you to harm other boys. He was so enthusiastic that he contacted the director of the brain hospital for you and wanted to help you in your family's situation. People are all made of flesh and blood. How come you don't know how to be grateful?!"
"Well, so you should reflect on why you introduced me." Lin Chaoxi smiled.
"Lin Chaoxi!" the director shouted from the other end.
"Yes."
There was a sound of heavy breathing coming from the microphone. The director must have been so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick.
"I'm telling you, I will definitely report your internship attitude to your school, where you can come and go as you please. Every year, many graduates from your school try their best to come to our middle school. I will report your behavior to the Academic Affairs Office of your Sanwei University!"
"Well, then?"
"You'd better take care of Xiao Liu's matter for me! Otherwise, I will also talk to your Director Yan!"
"Director, it seems like it's the 21st century now..."
"What do you want to say?!"
"It should be out of fashion to force marriage."
After Lin Chaoxi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Lin Chaoxi hung up the phone. It would be a lie to say she wasn't angry. But it didn't affect her mood too much. She rationally blocked the director and Liu Zhiyuan's phone and WeChat.
When they looked up again, Lu Zhihao, Lao Wang and A Guang were all stunned.
There is gossip and concern in his eyes.
"The auntie on the phone was speaking so loudly, did you all hear it?" Lin Chaoxi asked.
The three of them nodded in unison.
"No, disciple, are you getting married? Master Tiandi, am I right? Why didn't you get your approval for this?" The skinny boy pushed his non-existent glasses again.
Lin Chaoxi laughed out loud: "It's no big deal. The owner of the internship school introduced me to a boy without Teacher Wang's consent, so I rejected him directly." Lin Chaoxi said.
"Director of the brain hospital?" Lu Zhihao asked, "What's his last name?"
"I don't know. They said it was neurosurgery."
"Alzheimer's should be treated by a neurologist..." Lu Zhihao was a little speechless, "Because you rejected him and didn't bring your father to the appointment, she went to the director of your internship school to put pressure on her?"
"yes……"
"This is too much!" Lu Zhihao was filled with righteous indignation, and seemed even angrier than she was. He took two deep breaths, and tried not to swear before saying to her, "You don't have to pay any attention to them."
Lin Zhaoxi nodded and said to Lu Zhihao, "Thank you."
"Senior sister...what's wrong with your father?" Shen Mei stood in front of the table, carrying a lot of things, and asked with concern.
Lu Zhihao had an expression that said, "Did I say something wrong again?"
"Alzheimer's." Lin Chaoxi said.
Ah Guang and Lao Wang both took a deep breath.
I don’t know if it was because of the phone call she received, but the meal became very silent and even Lao Wang and A Guang stopped joking.
Even these two comrades with low emotional intelligence spoke to her very politely and with a hint of sympathy.
In fact, Lin Chaoxi also wanted to say that Old Lin himself didn't care about this matter, and it was really nothing.
——
Lu Zhihao also felt very depressed while eating.
After dinner, Lin Chaoxi left with the two boys to continue discussing issues related to the modeling competition.
Lu Zhihao and Shen Mei sat in their seats, the sunset light turned red. Lin Chaoxi was still very lively and cheerful, with no trace of gloom in her smile, and waved goodbye to them.
"Senior sister has a really nice personality." Shen Mei couldn't help but say as she looked at their receding figures.
"Yeah." Lu Zhihao looked down at WeChat.
In the chat group between him and Pei Zhihuajuan, Huajuan sent a message.
Huajuan——Where are you? I’m starving.
Lu Zhihao——Just now and Shen Mei invited Lin Chaoxi to dinner.
Huajuan—won’t you call me too?
Lu Zhihao - You are a big star, your identity is not suitable.
Huajuan--Comrade Lao Lu, your tone is quite low?
Lu Zhihao - Well, I just heard that Lin Chaoxi encountered some problems, and her father has that disease, it’s really not easy to hear.
Hanamaki - what happened?
Lu Zhihao simply wrote down what happened and pressed send. He stared at the screen for a while, but Pei Zhi still didn't reply.
——
Saturday afternoon, 13:20.
Sanmi University South, bus station.
The station was crowded with girls holding umbrellas and boys gathered together chatting.
When Lin Chaoxi arrived, a bus just arrived. She ran a few steps, but found that no one was getting on the bus at the station. Everyone was standing there, as if waiting for everyone to arrive before leaving.
Only primary school students would wait for each other like this. They were all so cute. Lin Chaoxi couldn't help but laugh.
She walked over slowly. There were already twenty or thirty people in the station, crowded together, and most of them gathered around Pei Zhi.
Seeing that there were so many people, Lin Chaoxi didn't go over. He nodded to Pei Zhiyao and found a shady place on the platform to stand.
Most of the senior students were doing internships, so the students participating in the competition were mostly juniors. The children were chattering, and Pei Zhi's voice occasionally rang out, chatting with them patiently and attentively.
Lin Chaoxi listened to them discussing the "em algorithm" for a while, and then talking about "where to go for barbecue".
This group of young people made the entire modeling competition very interesting. Rather than a highly competitive group, they were more like a temporary class.
The student Pei, who is surrounded by many stars, is the class teacher (deputy class teacher).
The sun was shining brightly. Lin Chaoxi took a deep breath. The air was filled with the scent of grass.
Suddenly, her cell phone vibrated.
Ever since the series of bombings yesterday, she no longer dared to completely mute her phone.
It was her classmate Chen Bei, who had interned with her before, who sent her a WeChat message.
Chen Bei——Where are you?
Lin Zhaoxi——At the school gate.
Chen Bei——Where exactly?
Lin Zhaoxi - The bus stop at the South Gate.
Lin Zhaoxi replied subconsciously, and then felt a little strange.
Lin Zhaoxi——Are you coming to see me?
After sending this WeChat message, Chen Bei did not reply immediately.
She was a little puzzled and fiddled with her phone for a while, but couldn't help asking again.
Lin Chaoxi - I'm about to take the bus to attend a lecture, what's wrong?
Chen Bei——Please wait a moment.
Lin Chaoxi frowned and dialed the WeChat number directly.
At this moment, a black Mercedes entered the bus stop and slowly stopped.
The car window rolled down and Lin Chaoxi saw Liu Zhiyuan's face.
With a beep, Chen Bei hung up her phone.
The black car body reflected the dazzling sunlight, and Lin Chaoxi stood still.
"Come with me." Liu Zhiyuan took off his sunglasses and spoke in a cold voice.
The boys and girls in the station looked at each other, you pulled me, I pulled you, and their eyes seemed to be silently asking "What's wrong?" "Who is it?"
Lin Chaoxi had never encountered a situation where a blind date partner blocked her door, and she had no contingency plan in her mind.
"Lin Chaoxi, come with me and let's talk." Liu Zhiyuan repeated.
Following Liu Zhiyuan's gaze, everyone in the station began to focus their attention on her.
Those looks revealed gossip and anticipation, but no one spoke.
Lin Chaoxi was very embarrassed.
In fact, it’s not these students’ fault. If she were walking on the street and encountered a similar “relationship dispute”, they would probably choose to watch.
Lin Chaoxi held the phone, and perhaps driven by instinct, she subconsciously looked at Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi, however, lowered his head to look at his phone and didn't even look at her.
Lin Zhaoxi was stunned. What was she doing just now? She actually wanted to ask Pei Zhi for help. This was her private matter, and Pei Zhi would not interfere out of emotion or reason.
She was still very embarrassed, but she stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked to the Mercedes-Benz.
Her cell phone vibrated, but she didn't look at it. Instead, she looked at the young man in the passenger seat.
"Let's talk here."
Liu Zhiyuan: "It was my fault yesterday. I didn't know Director Wang would call and scold you later."
Lin Zhaoxi: "Yes. Thank you for arranging to take my dad to see a doctor. I happened to be busy yesterday and didn't see the phone. I also forgot to directly reject you before. I'm sorry."
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up: "We really need to have a good talk. Give me a chance."
Liu Zhiyuan's lines were developing more and more like those in a romance drama. Some people around him even laughed out loud. Lin Zhaoxi subconsciously avoided Liu Zhiyuan's sight and glanced at the phone in her hand.
Pei Zhi——What happened?
Lin Chaoxi's heart trembled. At the other end of the bus stop, the boy had put down his phone and was looking at her calmly.
Lin Chaoxi——It was so awkward, I ran into my previous blind date partner.
She said it honestly.
To be honest, her heart was bleeding. Why did she even tell her boyfriend about her blind date? She was basically admitting that she was a leftover woman who was unwanted by everyone.
"Lin Chaoxi!" Liu Zhiyuan raised his voice.
Even though it was very embarrassing to be watched by others, Lin Chaoxi decided to make things clear in person: "I have to go to a lecture, so I can't go with you. Besides, we have only met once, and I have already explained some things to you via WeChat."
Liu Zhiyuan: "You also know it's just one side, why are you so arbitrary?"
The young man's eyes were burning, completely overlapping with the image of him standing in the cafeteria and giving her money.
Lin Chaoxi did not answer.
"Where are you going to attend the lecture? I'll take you there. Get in the car now." Liu Zhiyuan answered in an anxious tone that sounded almost like an order.
Behind the station, the bus announcement sounded, a No. 169 bus stopped, the door opened, and the driver honked the horn hard.
Lin Chaoxi felt the crowd around her loosen up a little, she looked to her side and saw Pei Zhi walking towards her.
The boy was tall and slender, and a small shadow covered her.
"Pei Zhi?" Liu Zhiyuan said in surprise.
Pei Zhiwei lowered his head and nodded to the people in the car.
Liu Zhiyuan: "What do you want?"
Pei Zhi explained calmly: "We are going to the University Town Lecture Hall together, and you are blocking the bus lane."
Liu Zhiyuan just looked at her: "I can take you there, just give me some time and we can talk."
"Hey, are you a bit troubled?"
"Girls don't even want to get in your car, it's clear they're rejecting you."
"I've given you some face by not telling you the truth, so why are you still pestering me?"
Suddenly, at the bus stop, some of her junior classmates started to speak up for her.
Liu Zhiyuan's face suddenly turned pale.
"Driving a Mercedes is so great?"
"You can take a Didi taxi, it's nothing big, I'm here to give you a ride..."
Lin Chaoxi looked at those classmates who spoke up for justice with gratitude.
"What's the matter with you!" Liu Zhiyuan finally couldn't help but shouted.
"So fierce!"
"Don't be afraid, sister, we'll take you there!"
"Send it, how are you going to send it, by bicycle or Didi taxi?" Liu Zhiyuan shouted angrily.
The students stared at him, and many of them wanted to curse at him.
At this moment, the boy next to her slowly spoke.
"actually……"
Lin Zhaoxi looked to her side and saw Pei Zhi casually touching his pocket, pulling out a card and handing it to her.
Lin Chaoxi took it subconsciously. On the front of the card were a few words "Yongchuan Bus Company", and on the back was Pei Zhi's ID photo.
In the photo, the boy is wearing a white shirt and has short hair, looking handsome and refreshing. It is rare that someone's ID photo looks like it has been photoshopped.
"We plan to take the bus." Pei Zhi said.
There was a moment of silence on the platform, and then everyone burst into laughter.
"Yes, yes, we are going to take the bus."
"The car is bigger than you!"
“There are more seats than you!”
The bus driver honked the horn again. At the bus cab, someone asked the driver to wait a little longer.
The boy naughtily grabbed the railing, popped his head out of the car door, and waved at them from a distance: "Let's go, hurry up!"
"Let's go, let's go."
"Master, drive around this car later."
The classmates at the station were talking, and Lin Chaoxi followed the crowd, being half pushed and half hugged, and got on the bus.
There are many bright and cheerful smiles around.
"That stupid Mercedes in front of us won't move." The driver cursed.
Lin Chaoxi held Pei Zhi's bus card and swiped it, deducting 0.9 yuan.
She turned around and saw the boy standing behind her, looking at her with the same calm eyes as always.
She handed the card back and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Pei Zhi replied.
