With a "click", Deng Shasha closed the dormitory door.
Deng Shasha said: "I closed the door. The fairies in our dormitory are only for us to see."
Lin Zhixia laughed loudly, slapped the table, and asked generously: "Am I beautiful?"
Lin Zhixia was wearing a burgundy long skirt with a V-shaped neckline, revealing her delicate collarbone and graceful neck. Looking down, she had a slender waist and long legs. The hem of her skirt flowed like gauze, and had a light, smoky drape that matched her fair skin perfectly.
Feng Yuan looked her up and down and exclaimed, "You are so beautiful."
Deng Shasha thought for a moment, "You are dressed so beautifully, where are you going? Is the school holding a dance?"
While packing up the gift boxes, Lin Zhixia responded, "My friend's school is holding a dance next week."
Deng Shasha's biggest hobby in life is to help other girls put on makeup. She volunteered: "Do you want to put on makeup? I'll teach you."
Lin Zhixia politely declined Deng Shasha's offer. The next morning, Lin Zhixia suddenly had another idea and went to the mall to buy a lipstick to match her new dress.
On the evening of the dance, Lin Zhixia put on a skirt and shoes, and tied her hair up. She used the hairpin that Jiang Yubai gave her.
At this time, the dusk colored the sky, and the light and shadow of dusk enveloped the teaching building. Lin Zhixia strolled in the campus, and the whole person was light and floating. On the road, several classmates glanced at her from time to time, but she didn't care about other people's eyes and looked up at the school gate.
Jiang Yubai has already appeared.
He was waiting patiently for her to approach.
Lin Zhixia lifted her skirt with her left hand and trotted towards Jiang Yubai.
The sun was setting, the dusk was deepening, and under the dim street lights, her skirt fluttered in the wind like a butterfly spreading its wings to fly.
Jiang Yubai stared at her in fascination. He couldn't help but stretch out a hand towards her, wanting to catch her the moment she ran over.
She was not used to wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes. When he held her arms, she fell directly on him and crashed into his arms. Before he had time to fully appreciate it, she took another step back and broke free from his restraints.
"Let's go and get in the car." Lin Zhixia suggested.
Jiang Yubai opened the car door like a responsible driver.
Lin Zhixia got into the car, carefully adjusted the hem of her skirt, and asked again: "Am I pretty?"
Lin Zhixia expected Jiang Yubai to say "You are so beautiful, you are a fairy from heaven", but unfortunately he never said that. His encouragement and comments were either positive or objective and calm. He would never praise Lin Zhixia's appearance openly like Deng Shasha.
Just as Lin Zhixia predicted, Jiang Yubai replied modestly, "Beautiful."
"Turn your face around, look at me, and compliment me again." Lin Zhixia ordered in an irresistible tone.
Jiang Yubai didn't look at her. His sight went beyond the car window. The city at night was full of lights. The lights were reflected in his eyes and fell on the ends of his hair. What was he thinking about? He successfully aroused Lin Zhixia's curiosity.
Lin Zhixia put her hand on the back of his hand, and it was like touching a switch, which immediately made him say: "I prepared a necklace for you."
He fished out an exquisite box from the secret compartment.
The box contained a rose gold necklace with a heart-shaped carnelian pendant. Lin Zhixia stretched out her finger and poked the pendant. Jiang Yubai thought her action was as cute as a kitten. He tried to restrain his admiration for her and pretended to be calm and reminded her: "You said that you would accept the gift I bought with my own money."
"How do you make money?" Lin Zhixia asked.
Jiang Yubai summarized it simply: "Investment."
Lin Zhixia was amazed: "You can make a lot of money so quickly by investing? You are amazing."
Jiang Yubai said modestly: "Not that great. My father often helps me, and I have an investment consultant. If you were to do it, you would be better than me."
"No," Lin Zhixia denied firmly, "You are better at that than I am."
Jiang Yubai didn't say anything else. He took out the necklace from the box.
The car was still moving forward steadily, and Lin Zhixia suddenly understood Jiang Yubai's intention. She sat sideways on the leather chair with her back to Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai put the necklace on her awkwardly, and stretched his fingers from behind her neck, hooked the red chalcedony pendant, and slightly adjusted the position. The two of them kept silent tacitly, and the atmosphere around them was subtle and could not be exposed. Finally, Lin Zhixia said, "Thank you, the necklace is very beautiful."
Jiang Yubai noticed the golden hairpin she used to tie her hair up - it was a gift from him for her thirteenth birthday, and it matched the necklace she wore today. He whispered to himself, "You look the best."
Lin Zhixia pricked up her ears: "What did you say?"
Jiang Yubai regained his serious and dignified demeanor: "Nothing, we're almost there."
Lin Zhixia wanted to dig those words out of his mouth. She pulled his sleeve and said, "I heard it. Repeat it again."
Jiang Yubai was still trying to cover up: "Since you heard it, there's no need for me to repeat it."
Lin Zhixia murmured quietly, "Jiang Yubai, I am to you..." The sound behind it became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible, but it was like a bunch of hidden arrows, piercing Jiang Yubai's heart. He quickly asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Zhixia smiled slightly and replied in kind, "Nothing, we're almost there."
As soon as the words fell, the car began to slow down and drove smoothly into a parking space. Lin Zhixia looked out and instantly entered a strange world of luxury cars. She even saw two extended Lincolns.
"Why is there an extended Lincoln?" Lin Zhixia was puzzled.
Jiang Yubai put aside his previous grudges and patiently answered, "Some classmates came along along the way."
Lin Zhixia nodded: "So, they were sitting in the same car..."
Jiang Yubai took her left hand, tied a hand flower around her wrist, and inserted a matching flower of the same color on the left collar of his suit jacket - this was one of the dress requirements for the graduation ball. However, Lin Zhixia said, "I remember that brides all wear hand flowers."
Jiang Yubai opened the car door and got out before her. When she passed in front of him, he added: "The groom also has matching flowers."
Lin Zhixia was about to answer when a girl suddenly shouted from a distance: "Jiang Yubai! Hey, Jiang Yubai!"
Lin Zhixia followed the voice and saw the girl walking towards them. She was wearing a dark blue halter dress, with delicate makeup and a charming figure. Her beautiful legs were faintly visible as she walked. A boy wearing glasses followed her closely, and she went straight to Jiang Yubai: "Why are you here just now? We've been waiting for you for more than ten minutes."
Jiang Yubai introduced: "She is my classmate, Zhao Gefei."
Zhao Gefei smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to Lin Zhixia: "Hello, you are Jiang Yubai's friend, right? Jiang Yubai mentioned you to me."
Zhao Gefei's nails were all dyed dark blue, with a few sparkling diamonds on them. She held Lin Zhixia's hand and complimented her, "Your skin is so white." Then she asked, "Don't you do your nails?"
Lin Zhixia said honestly, "I haven't had my nails done." She naturally walked in step with Zhao Gefei: "Did Jiang Yubai mention me to you?"
Zhao Gefei smiled and replied: "We all know that he has a friend from his hometown."
Lin Zhixia didn't answer. She looked at Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai met two male classmates. They were close to him and were about to go to Oxford University. The three of them walked and talked, and no one noticed what Lin Zhixia was doing.
At this time, Zhao Gefei said again: "There are more than ten people in our class who get along well with each other. The person next to me has a horse farm at home. We go to his horse farm to play on weekends. Jiang Yubai has also been there several times, right?"
The boy wearing glasses next to Zhao Gefei said quickly, "Yes."
Zhao Gefei turned around and asked Lin Zhixia: "Do you like riding horses? Let's go together next time when we are free."
Lin Zhixia just said: "I can't ride a horse."
"Oh?" Zhao Gefei said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you didn't know how to ride a horse. It's very simple, haven't you learned it?"
Lin Zhixia asked playfully: "What do you think is the difference between the existence of update operators and parity operators in BK and Parity transformation expressions?"
Zhao Gefei stood there in a daze.
Lin Zhixia repeated her question in English and French.
Zhao Gefei bit her lip, and Lin Zhixia apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I thought I was talking about the simplest physics and English."
Zhao Gefei struggled on his own and asked, "Did you make up a theory?"
"This is the foundation of quantum computing," Lin Zhixia asked, "It's really very simple. Haven't you learned it?"
Zhao Gefei had heard that Lin Zhixia had gone to college, but she had not expected that the physics knowledge in college would be so complicated and profound. She had learned physics very well in high school, but she had no idea what Lin Zhixia was talking about.
Her face turned slightly red and she couldn't continue talking. She walked quickly to the front, leaving Lin Zhixia and the boy wearing glasses behind.
The boy suddenly said, "Zhao Gefei is a very nice person, don't be angry."
Lin Zhixia answered honestly: "I'm not angry. I thought she liked the way we talked just now."
At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was dark, the night was deep, and the full moon was high in the sky. Students dressed in their best clothes walked into the auditorium where the banquet was held. The hall was divided into two areas: the restaurant and the dance floor. A group of high school graduates gathered in the dance floor. They danced in pairs to the music. The scene was very warm and beautiful.
Zhao Gefei is good at socializing and getting along with everyone. She can always talk to classmates from any country and make them laugh.
Zhao Gefei tried hard to show her charm, but Lin Zhixia didn't pay attention to her. Lin Zhixia was sitting in her seat, cutting a piece of strawberry cake with a knife and fork.
"Do you want to dance?" Jiang Yubai asked her.
Lin Zhixia said softly, "Let me eat some cake first. I was working in the laboratory this afternoon and didn't have time to eat dinner at night. I'm so hungry."
