Chapter 78
In the distance there were faint sounds of students talking and laughing. The sun gradually slanted, casting a long narrow strip of light on the ground.
Shao Qinghe was stepping into the beam of light, his arms folded, his camel-colored woolen coat against the light green half wall.
Chen Lanjun then smiled: "Why are you here?"
He walked over and stood in front of her desk, intentionally or unintentionally standing where the boy had just stood.
"What? I'm not ashamed to be seen?" Shao Qinghe said in a joking tone.
He just stood there quietly. Several girls who were passing by the classroom had already walked past, but suddenly pretended to have lost something, turned back, and looked over here excitedly.
This is normal. Shao Qinghe himself is outstanding in appearance. Nowadays, most male college students dress simply, mostly in blue and black clothes. In comparison, his pure British style is impossible not to attract attention.
Chen Lanjun could almost imagine that by tonight, a piece of news would be circulated among classmates: Have you heard? There’s a very handsome boy in school this afternoon.
But if he stood there a little longer, perhaps the rumor would include her name.
Between men and women, the reputation of the woman is more likely to be criticized. Add to that the Hong Kong nobleman and the mainland female student's awareness, and she will definitely be even more miserable amidst the rumors about the two of them.
Chen Lanjun was silent for two seconds.
In just two seconds, Shao Qinghe's face, which had been relatively relaxed, suddenly turned cold.
He leaned over and rested his palm on the corner of the table: "Alan, you don't really think so, do you?"
"How could that be? I just..." Chen Lanjun was stuck for a moment, "It's just that this is my university."
"so?"
Chen Lanjun was a little annoyed by his attitude. She already had a heavy academic burden, and she also had to worry about business matters. Shao Qinghe was still so inexplicable.
She took a deep breath and tried to change the subject: "What brings you here?"
Shao Qinghe said coldly: "If nothing happens, I can't come to see you, right?"
With a snap, Chen Lanjun put the cap back on the pen, raised her eyes, and called out to him, "Shao Qinghe, are you questioning me?"
Shao Qinghe looked at her silently.
The setting sun hit her expressionless face from the side, making her look like a statue of a goddess, or like the Mona Lisa collected in a museum, making people unable to help but explore and yet unable to guess.
Chen Lanjun - he really didn't understand her. She was always smiling when they were together, so she definitely wasn't annoying. So why didn't she want to get close to him among his teachers and friends?
He can't be that bad, right?
Shao Qinghe suddenly felt a little discouraged and sneered: "Yes, in what capacity can I question you?"
He stood up straight, put his hands in his pockets, and said, "Miss Chen, I came here to tell you that I am going back to Hong Kong. I hope you can write to me when you are free."
"But now it seems that this is a bit too much."
Chen Lanjun said nothing, but just clenched the pen in her hand.
Sure enough, I have to leave.
She forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid you won't come again in the future, right?"
"Probably," Shao Qinghe said, "The hotels here are generally on track, and I don't just have this one business to keep an eye on."
What's more, the existence that allowed him to stay didn't seem to welcome him very much.
Chen Lanjun nodded, unscrewed the cap of her pen, lowered her eyes and looked at the review materials.
"In that case, I wish Mr. Shao a safe journey."
She stared at the line of words, but she was so annoyed that she couldn't read a single word.
In fact, she had reviewed this line half an hour ago, but she had to have something to look at to keep her eyes focused.
The sight can be controlled, but the sound cannot be cut off.
She heard Shao Qinghe say "Goodbye" coldly.
Then came the rustling of clothes, the sound of footsteps, the sound of footsteps gradually fading away... and the creaking sound of the classroom door closing.
When some of the sounds faded away, Chen Lanjun raised her head.
As the sun sets, the light in the house becomes a little dimmer.
She put her pen aside and was in a daze for a while. When the sunlight faded completely and a call rang in the classroom, she picked up the pen again and continued to review.
There are so many things to review, and the requirements of Mingde University are definitely not empty. Whether you study it or not, the answers on the test paper cannot be false.
Chen Lanjun went to ask teacher Yin Yu what the key points were.
Yin Yu raised his glasses and said, "There is no key point. In other words, everything we learn now is the key point."
She said earnestly: "Student Chen, as a college student, the most important task is to study. Do you agree?"
Chen Lanjun frowned and said, "Teacher Yin, I understand what you mean."
"You'd better understand." Yin Yu looked at her, "I have heard about your business with relatives and friends. Although money is important, your own development is more important, and you should not ignore the truly important things because of a small profit."
Yin Yu stood up and patted her shoulder: "You are a college student after the resumption of the college entrance examination. You are born with responsibilities and should have some sense of responsibility for the country and the people. You are a smart student and should understand what I mean. Don't let some trivial matters or people interfere with you."
Chen Lanjun understood that these words were quite harsh for Yin Yu.
She put away the book in silence and said, "Thank you, teacher. I won't delay my studies."
That night, Chen Lanjun sat in the empty classroom after the lights were turned off, holding a flashlight and reading all night long.
I also took out the cooling oil. Feeling really sleepy, I took some and applied it on my temples.
On this winter night, the scent of cool oil filling the room and the faint light of the flashlight gradually calmed her heart.
I stayed up all night for several days and I don’t know how much sleep I got.
The dormitory head came to persuade her: "Lanjun, you should at least take a rest. Your chin has become a little pointy."
Lao Qi snatched the book from Chen Lanjun's hand without any hesitation: "Tomorrow is the first exam, why are you still not asleep? Do you want to sleep in the exam room?"
"Yes," other roommates came over holding the food they prepared at home, "Eat a few bites and get a good night's sleep so you can perform better in the exam tomorrow."
Fearing that Chen Lanjun would not give in, Lao Qi pretended to threaten her, "If you don't sleep, others will have to sleep too. You can't disturb us! So, go to bed quickly."
Having said that, Chen Lanjun had no choice but to surrender and went to bed obediently.
I didn't sleep well.
It was a dream. In the classroom shrouded in sunset, her consciousness seemed to be floating in the sunlight.
Shao Qinghe turned around indifferently and said "Goodbye".
When I woke up, the room was dizzy.
It's a cloudy day.
Chen Lanjun and her roommates got up and washed up one after another, discussed the distribution of today's examination rooms, and guessed what subjects would be tested.
We went downstairs together. It was time for everyone to go to the cafeteria for breakfast and there were a lot of people there.
Following the crowd to the outside of the dormitory hall, I heard an anxious voice: "Sister Lan—Sister Lan!"
I looked up and it was Atong.
If it wasn't a big deal, Atong wouldn't disturb her at this critical moment.
Chen Lanjun turned around and said to her roommate, "I'll go over there for a minute. I'll go to the cafeteria by myself later."
"Then hurry up." The dormitory head urged.
Chen Lanjun agreed and walked quickly towards Atong: "It's not convenient to talk here, come with me."
She led Atong to the back of the dormitory building, to a shady place.
"What's wrong?"
Atong said with difficulty: "The factory director... the factory director does not recognize the contract and wants to take back the management rights of the workshop."
…
All the bad things happened together.
Chen Lanjun couldn't help but curse: "Fuck that mother!"
