Jiang Yubai picked up the glass and poured a glass of water for Lin Zhixia.
He handed the cup to her, and she naturally lowered her head and drank water directly from the cup.
Jiang Yubai slowly adjusted the angle of the cup's rim, not daring to make the slightest mistake, so that Lin Zhixia could drink water more conveniently.
Jiang Yubai's service level is very high. He is considerate and meticulous, and Lin Zhixia can't help but admire him. She put her hand on his shoulder and said in a bold and casual manner: "Let's go, let's go dance."
Jiang Yubai took her wrist, led her up from her seat, and walked straight to the dance floor. He suddenly said, "During the three years of high school, I often think of elementary and junior high school."
Lin Zhixia really wanted to ask him, "Are you missing your elementary and junior high school life, or are you missing me as your desk mate?" She hesitated for a long time, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to ask.
This is so weird.
She is always used to speaking her mind, why is she being coy now?
She held his hand tightly, stole a glance at him, and then said, "I have been your deskmate for four years. This is one of the things that makes me happiest. I can recall every day of that time, what you wore, what time you arrived at school, what you said to me... I remember everything."
Jiang Yubai's palms seemed to be getting hotter. His heart was burning like fire, as if there was an endless amount of energy bursting out from the bottom of his heart, but he was not good at responding enthusiastically. He said calmly, "I envy your memory."
He was like countless ordinary people who forgot the details of precious moments.
Lin Zhixia patted his arm soothingly: "Don't envy me."
She explained: "Sometimes, I feel down and think of some bad things... Not just visual memories, but also sensory memories, can you understand? When I was a child in my hometown in the countryside, I was hungry. Whenever I think of that day, my stomach hurts a little."
Jiang Yubai took this phenomenon very seriously: "I've known you for seven years, and this is the first time I've heard you talk about sensory memory."
Near the dance floor, young couples are dancing gracefully. The girls have graceful postures and fluttering long skirts, while the boys smile and the atmosphere is ambiguous.
Jiang Yubai lowered his voice even lower: "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable. Don't endure the stomachache. If you really can't take it, go to the hospital."
A dim orange-yellow warm light enveloped the dance floor. Lin Zhixia raised her head and looked at him with a pair of bright and clear eyes in this dim environment.
He thought she would give a long speech.
But she just nodded: "Yeah!"
Jiang Yubai said to himself, "You always look happy..." He gently hugged her waist, and his soothing voice was low and gentle, floating into her ears. He said that she could tell him anything she encountered, and they would discuss and solve it together. He was not only her good friend, but also her supporter and follower.
The melodious music didn't stop, but Lin Zhixia stopped. She buried her face in his collar and praised him, "You are so nice, you are so nice."
She silently praised this touching friendship in her heart.
That night, Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai stayed on the dance floor for more than two hours.
At first, all the students were dancing the waltz, but then the music changed and the students formed a circle, changing partners randomly.
Lin Zhixia suddenly had an idea and decided to try some male dance steps.
She stopped a beautiful woman in a light pink halter dress - this beautiful woman was Korean and didn't speak Chinese very well. Lin Zhixia knew a little Korean, so she started chatting with her. She thought Lin Zhixia was a Chinese of the Korean ethnic group, so she immediately felt very friendly and reluctantly started dancing with Lin Zhixia.
Lin Zhixia held her wrist, watched her spin in circles under her hand, and praised her in Korean: "You are a good dancer."
Lin Zhixia gets along well with the Korean beauty.
Jiang Yubai read out her name: "Lin Zhixia?"
There was a lot of noise and music all around, so Lin Zhixia didn't hear what he said.
Jiang Yubai stood absentmindedly at the edge of the dance floor. Zhao Gefei invited him to dance, but he politely declined. Zhao Gefei blushed and insisted on asking him, "Which girl do you like?"
Jiang Yubai avoided the question.
Zhao Gefei asked again: "She has many advantages, right? Besides her looks and education."
Jiang Yubai knew them all: "Yes, she is smart, kind, simple, honest, optimistic, lively and loves to laugh..."
Zhao Gefei's right hand was across her chest, slightly covering her collar. She reminded him, "I have also been praised for being smart and kind."
Jiang Yubai held up a goblet and clinked glasses with her out of courtesy. His every word and action was elegant, but his words ruined the mood. He said, "Your partner is looking for you."
Zhao Gefei folded his hands and said, "Why don't you say something and leave me here?"
Jiang Yubai didn't answer. He walked to the other side of the corner.
Jiang Yubai is very popular. Even if he stands in a remote corner, many classmates come over to greet him. He chats with his classmates, holding a tall glass with mineral water in one hand. He shakes the glass and takes a sip of the mineral water. The light reflects off the glass, revealing a figure approaching - Lin Zhixia finally comes to her senses and runs towards him.
"Why don't you dance anymore?" Lin Zhixia asked him.
He said, "Everyone changed partners."
Lin Zhixia tilted her head: "You can also change your partner and dance with other girls."
Jiang Yubai smiled: "Then I might as well stand far away and watch you dance."
Lin Zhixia's left hand tugged at the hem of her skirt: "You..." The high-quality skirt was wrinkled by her, and she said, "You are good at talking."
Outside the window, night fell and the party was drawing to a close.
Lin Zhixia didn't want to go back too late, so Jiang Yubai took her away early. They got in the same car and headed straight to Lin Zhixia's university.
Jiang Yubai opened the car window, and the summer night wind blew in, making his short black hair look a little messy. He looked at the scenery outside the window that was rapidly receding, and said a few words from his heart: "I have graduated from high school and will soon go abroad to study at a university. I may not be able to come back during the holidays. When I was in Beijing, you went to the laboratory every day..." He realized that he had revealed a trace of resentment.
After a pause, he said, "That's good. If you like to learn, you should learn more and promote the advancement of human science and technology."
"I will miss you, Jiang Yubai." Lin Zhixia replied.
Jiang Yubai sat still.
Lin Zhixia took the flower on the left collar of his suit, and took off the flower on her wrist that she had worn all night and put it in his suit pocket. She didn't seem to feel sad at the separation, and only asked: "Will you miss me too?"
“Every day,” he replied.
Lin Zhixia smiled and said, "Okay."
She held the bouquet of flowers in her hand and gently stroked the pale red petals.
It was past eleven o'clock in the evening when Lin Zhixia returned to the dormitory. The lights were on and her three roommates were still awake.
The final exams of the second semester of the second year of college were approaching, and the students were reviewing nervously. Deng Shasha knelt on the upper floor and shouted, "You are finally back. I don't know how to do many questions. Save me, Xia Shen."
Lin Zhixia ran towards her quickly: "I'm coming."
Deng Shasha lay down slowly, looking at ease.
Lin Zhixia stepped onto the ladder, held onto the handrails of the bed frame with both hands, and asked excitedly, "Were the questions in previous years' exams difficult?"
Deng Shasha puffed up her cheeks.
How should I put it……
She seemed to hear a hint of excitement in Lin Zhixia's voice.
In order not to disappoint Lin Zhixia, Deng Shasha declared: "It's too difficult, too difficult to drive me crazy, too difficult to kill me. If you throw the test paper into the sky, it will blow a hole and Nuwa will have to repair the sky again. I get dizzy after looking at the questions once, suffocate after looking at them twice, and faint on the bed after looking at them three times."
Lin Zhixia was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Hurry up, hurry up, give me the test paper, let me see it, I want to do the test."
Deng Shasha respectfully handed over a test paper with both hands.
Lin Zhixia grabbed the test paper and jumped to the ground. She ran to her seat with the test paper in her hands, and read the questions on the test paper eagerly. Deng Shasha also told her: "Xia Shen, the average score of this course last year was 40 points... The full score is 100, and the average score is 40. The teacher is too harsh. I didn't expect it when I chose the course. I really didn't expect it. Since the God of Fate chose it, I followed suit..."
Deng Shasha was telling her miserable story, and Feng Yuan interrupted, "Is it that difficult?"
Deng Shasha swung her pillow while speaking: "There is a difference between humans and gods."
In fact, Deng Shasha could have asked Feng Yuan for advice, and Feng Yuan was willing to explain the topic to her. However, Feng Yuan's teaching method was "strict teachers produce excellent students". If Deng Shasha still didn't understand after listening twice, Feng Yuan would sigh. But Lin Zhixia never got impatient. She was helpful and her attitude was serious and meticulous.
Deng Shasha brought a chair and sat next to Lin Zhixia.
"Come on, God Xia, I'm ready." Deng Shasha picked up the paper and pen.
Lin Zhixia spread out the test paper and started from the first question. She was wearing a beautiful red dress and had a faint scent of perfume on her body. She held the pen and wrote on the test paper. Deng Shasha stared at her profile and couldn't help but express her admiration: "The boy who danced with you tonight is so lucky."
Lin Zhixia's handwriting paused.
The scene of the dance party replayed in her mind like a clear movie. Jiang Yubai was the undisputed leading actor, constantly giving her gentle yet firm strength.
