Chapter 25 Jealousy [VIP]
Lin Zhihua was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then let's talk while we walk around."
She looked up at him, meeting a pair of sparkling eyes. Those eyes, lacking their usual calmness and reserve, now looked at her with more focus than before, and with undisguised fondness.
Just like when they first started dating, Lin Zhihua felt a little moved. She leaned over and gently kissed him on the eyelid.
Fu Shengyan was caught off guard by the kiss and he was visibly happy, his eyes brightening.
The two of them walked to the playground, laughing and joking all the way. Outside the track, in addition to the students warming up on the spot, there were also many people walking together.
They held hands and joined the group of young couples taking a walk. The current situation was somewhat similar to when they were in college.
At the beginning of their freshman year, the two were assigned to different regiments for military training because of their different majors. However, the training locations were not far from each other. Occasionally, the instructors of Lin Zhihua's class would bring them to rest under the shade of the trees next to the playground.
Because of the number of students, Lin Zhihua, as a freshman, was lucky enough to be assigned to the dormitory for seniors in the Finance Department. She avoided the early morning bell and the housekeeping, and the dormitory was quiet before 8 o'clock.
Lin Zhihua always stayed in bed until the meeting time, folded her quilt in a hurry, and didn't even have breakfast.
The morning training wasn't very intense, but the strong sun made it easy to get heatstroke. Just two days into the training, Lin Zhihua fainted due to hypoglycemia. When she woke up in the infirmary, Fu Shengyan berated her.
Every morning after that, a takeaway without an order number would appear downstairs of her dormitory, and the ringing of her cell phone would wake her up at seven o'clock on time.
"Get up, I brought you some fish wontons from the East Canteen."
Lin Zhihua responded dazedly, half asleep and about to fall asleep again when the man on the other end of the line threatened coldly, "If you don't come down in three minutes, I'll tell Aunt Yun about your low blood sugar."
Lin Zhihua jumped up and said, "How old are you and you're still telling tales? Besides, do you want me to jump down and get it in three minutes? My dormitory is on the sixth floor!"
She got a busy tone on the other end of the line.
Over time, everyone in Lin Zhihua's dorm knew that a suitor was persistently waking her up every day. Lin Zhihua seemed to have feelings for him, and everyone thought she was about to get married. But a year passed, and no one even heard a word.
They secretly observed from behind and found that Lin Zhihua always came up with breakfast and never spoke to any man.
Which secret admirer is so shy that he doesn't even dare to say a word?
Ji Lingxiao also teased her, asking where she found the wake-up takeaway service and recommended one to her, asking for a monthly subscription.
She was at a loss for words and explained that it was a gift from her friend.
"Which friend has so much energy that he doesn't even sleep so early in the morning and goes around all the cafeterias?" Ji Lingxiao exclaimed in amazement, "Oh my, it's so good to be young."
Although they didn't see each other as often as they had in high school, their relationship wasn't as strained as it had been at the beginning. Shortly after military training ended, the "Hundred Regiments Offensive" began. Lin Zhihua applied for the archery club that Ji Lingxiao had strongly recommended, and unexpectedly saw Fu Shengyan at the venue.
"What a coincidence! You've also signed up for this club." Fu Shengyan approached casually. He wanted to strike up a conversation, but his words couldn't help but sound sarcastic. "I didn't realize you were into archery."
Lin Zhihua had indeed misunderstood. She rolled her eyes speechlessly and said unhappily, "I never thought someone with poor eyesight like you would like archery. I almost thought you signed up for the club just for me."
Fu Shengyan choked and closed his mouth in disappointment.
The current president is a handsome young man, who was also Ji Lingxiao's former apprentice. He takes good care of Lin Zhihua and always guides her movements carefully, which makes Fu Shengyan very jealous.
"Boss, I don't know how either. Can you teach me?" Whenever the boss wanted to demonstrate, he would push Lin Zhihua aside and talk nonsense with a shameless face.
After doing this many times, the president gradually came to his senses.
He did have a good impression of this beautiful and smart girl and wanted to spend more time with Lin Zhihua, but he was always interrupted by the clingy guy next to him.
Lin Zhihua gnashed her teeth at the two men's overt and covert jealousy. Fu Shengyan, despite holding his breath, was making rapid progress, while she could only barely hit the wooden target. She had no choice but to catch Ji Lingxiao, who finally had some free time during his break from writing his thesis, to return to the shooting range.
Ji Lingxiao saw through it immediately. She pretended to be angry and said to Fu Shengyan, "You have a lot of opinions about Xiao Zhihua. If you really can't make it, just quit the club."
Before the person involved could say anything, Lin Zhihua immediately became anxious and said, "No."
As soon as she said this, she froze for a moment and quickly tried to excuse herself, "He didn't mean to target me. He was just humbly seeking advice. There's no need to ask someone to quit the club because of this."
A sound.
The president was stunned for a moment and then looked at.
After this time, he came to the club less frequently and became Fu Shengyan.
"No, your strength is too weak. You're already panting after only a few draws. Adding to Lin Zhihua's question of "Why aren't you breathing?", he said to himself, "Every night from now on."
This running lasted for an entire school year. Except when it snowed or rained, they would go to the playground together almost every night. Occasionally, when they were tired, they would take a walk together on campus.
In Lin Zhihua's opinion, his affection for her was very obvious, and there was always silent ambiguity when the two of them were together, but she waited and waited but never got a confession from him. Whenever she wanted to move forward, Fu Shengyan would step back silently.
She also remained stiff, and was reluctant to break the window paper, as if whoever said "I like you" first would lose.
But in Fu Shengyan's opinion, Lin Zhihua was always distant towards him, as if she could do the same thing with him with someone else.
She always has an inexplicable tacit understanding with him, understands his temper, knows when to stroke him in return, and also knows when to let go.
He didn't like this feeling, as if Lin Zhihua was communicating with another person through him.
He wanted her to love him, not because of "him".
The conflict between the two broke out during the summer vacation of their freshman year, when they quarreled over the holiday internship.
"Why are you joining in the fun of a newly established small company? Can't you see what Zhen Feiwen is thinking?" Fu Shengyan suppressed his anger and stopped her on the way home.
"I know." Lin Zhihua said nonchalantly, "But we've already agreed on this, and I'm very interested in the development direction of my senior brother's company..."
"Lin Zhizhi, you knew he was coming, but you still wanted to? Are you interested in him too?" Fu Shengyan was almost pissed off and laughed. "If you want an internship, can't you go to Fu Group? Could their company really use a freshman like you?"
Lin Zhihua was also provoked by him, and her voice became cold and hard, "So what! The Fu Group is short of me again? Who do you think you are to me? Do I need Young Master Fu's permission to do anything I want?"
Fu Shengyan choked, knowing he had said the wrong thing, and his tone softened a bit: "I didn't stop you from going, I was just worried about you..."
"Who cares?" Lin Zhihua scoffed. She knew what he was thinking, which only made her even angrier. Zhen Feiwen had pursued her before, but she had clearly rejected him. He had only expressed some regret and then invited her to join his team.
Lin Zhihua was quite impressed with the abilities of this senior and was interested in it, so she agreed to intern at the company during the summer vacation. There was nothing dirty between them as Fu Shengyan thought.
His mind was filled with nothing but love, and he was also a coward, Lin Zhihua sneered in his heart. Even if he had a crush on someone, he would only dare to confess to the shower head while taking a shower.
She walked past Fu Shengyan and said calmly, "Anyway, we can only be considered old classmates. Stop pointing fingers."
"I'm just an ordinary female college student. It's normal for me to be interested in outstanding men, but I still know my own limitations. I can't even dream of marrying someone like Young Master Fu, and getting an internship at the group is out of the question."
Fu Shengyan was so furious at her sarcasm that he was furious. He realized that he had angered her, but he was too stiff to lower his head and say anything softly. He could only follow her all the way home. He never expected that Lin Zhihua ignored him completely and even locked him outside the door.
"Lin Zhizhi, are you doing this on purpose?" He stretched out a hand and pressed against the door tightly, gritting his teeth.
"Yes, I did it on purpose." Lin Zhihua pressed her entire body against the door, exerting all her strength. She bit her lip, her eyes inexplicably red. "Fu Shengyan, you bastard, why do you care about me?"
Everyone remembers her, but he just forgot her. Now he doesn't even have the courage to start over with her. What a self-righteous guy!
"Ancestor, I can't control you! You can do whatever you want and go wherever you want, but can you let me in first?" Fu Shengyan didn't dare to use real force, for fear of knocking people down, so he could only remain in a stalemate.
He heard that the tone of the person inside was not right, and immediately all his anger disappeared. He wanted to coax them to let him in.
Lin Zhihua became even angrier after hearing this. Her face suddenly turned cold, and her tone became sarcastic. "Why did you dare to come into my house when you don't care about me? My yard is small and can't accommodate a giant like you."
Fu Shengyan was so angry that he couldn't help but retort, "You are being unreasonable, you know that?"
"Yes, I am being unreasonable!" Perhaps the anger stimulated her potential. Lin Zhihua suddenly exerted force with her thighs, and the door frame was hit with a dull sound. She actually closed the door abruptly.
With a gloomy face, she walked past Lin's father who dared not make a sound and returned to the room. She walked to the window and happened to meet Fu Shengyan's eyes below.
Fu Shengyan opened his mouth and was about to say something when the curtains were ruthlessly drawn.
He sat on the ground somewhat dejectedly and called her. As expected, there was a long busy tone.
"What happened next?" Fu Shengyan's heart ached. "How did we reconcile?"
Lin Zhihua blinked, rolled her eyes, and snorted softly, "Of course you deeply realized your mistake and knelt at your doorstep for three days and three nights. I felt sorry for you, so I reluctantly forgave you."
The tone of voice made it clear that the words were nonsense, so Fu Shengyan naturally didn't believe it.
"Tell me, wife." Fu Shengyan rested his head on her shoulder, his tone a little coquettish.
"Chen, move your head away." Lin Zhihua pushed his big head away a little, pondered for a moment, and then told the rest of the story.
