Chapter 32
Back-to-school dinners are indeed a quick way to get to know each other.
In fact, only Lin Jiu, Zhou Jingmeng and Liu Qing were visiting the school in the afternoon. Tang Yazhi only showed up at dinner time.
They decided to have dinner at a restaurant outside the south gate of the school.
At first, the atmosphere was a bit cold. After all, it was the first time the four of us got together.
Zhou Jingmeng was quite lively and told some jokes to liven up the atmosphere. Once the atmosphere heated up, they started to discuss the topic of college entrance examination scores and complimented each other.
Later, we talked about our hometowns and expanded the topics, and the four of us became relatively familiar with each other.
Of course, in just one or two days, there won’t be any substantial progress in the relationship.
During military training, the four of us would go to the dormitory, the playground, and the cafeteria together, eat together, and occasionally have group night chats.
After the military training, the four of them got along very well. A big reason for this was that there were no troublemakers in the dormitory and everyone was easy to talk to.
"Oh my God, I'm so dark!" Zhou Jingmeng looked at herself in the full-length mirror, feeling a little worried.
Zhou Jingmeng bought the full-length mirror online. A few people paid for it and treated it as public property.
The dormitory is small, and there's not much room for a full-length mirror. Zhou Jingmeng's bed is next to the balcony, and she brought the mirror back to the dormitory.
Taking all the above factors into consideration, the full-length mirror was placed against the wall closest to her, and everyone in the dormitory approved it unanimously.
Every time Zhou Jingmeng returned to the dormitory and approached her desk, she would look in the mirror and admire her beauty. This time, after taking off her military training uniform and putting on her daily clothes, she could clearly see a big change, at least one shade darker.
Liu Qing was the only one in the dormitory for the time being. He was sitting at the table with his back to Zhou Jingmeng, browsing current affairs.
Hearing her say this, Liu Qing just kept comforting her: "Everyone in the dormitory is dark-skinned, not just you. You will be white in a few days."
"......You don't even look at me! Woohoo~" Seeing her perfunctory attitude, Zhou Jingmeng immediately covered her face and pretended to hide her tears.
Liu Qing turned around and looked Zhou Jingmeng up and down several times, and commented: "She is still beautiful, no need to be sad."
Zhou Jingmeng is 1.7 meters tall, thin, with delicate features and a very impressive appearance. Judging from her appearance alone, her family background is not poor. In fact, this is indeed the case. She is a native of Jinhai. Her father is a doctor and her mother is a university teacher.
"If I weren't dark, I would be more beautiful..." said Zhou Jingmeng.
Liu Qing interrupted her and said, "It will only take a few days. She will recover soon and her elegance will remain the same."
"I hope so..." As he spoke, Lin Jiu finished hanging the clothes on the balcony and pushed the door open.
Zhou Jingmeng looked at her fair face, then at herself in the mirror, and angrily said to Lin Jiu, "Why? I wear sunscreen from morning till night, and apply lotion and moisturizer every night. It takes so much effort... You don't even use skincare products, so why are you whiter than me?!"
"Really?" Lin Jiu held the light blue washbasin and looked in front of the mirror. He found that there was no difference in their skin color. "There's something wrong with your eyes. We both have the same skin color, and it's a bit dark."
Hearing this, Liu Qing carefully compared the skin color of the two people.
Although she had a better relationship with Zhou Jingmeng, she stood by Lin Jiu without hesitation this time. She said very objectively, "There really isn't much difference."
Zhou Jingmeng was speechless for a moment.
Lin Jiu walked towards the sink at the front door and said, "It's dark, so it's dark."
Zhou Jingmeng snorted twice, "A full man doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. You already have a boyfriend, so of course you don't care."
“…”
Putting the wash basin down with a clang, Lin Jiu looked at her and gave her a serious suggestion: "Why don't you ask Tang Yazhi to put on your makeup before you go out for a stroll? Then walk around the school and those handsome guys will automatically come around."
"Tang Yazhi is always away. She has dinner with friends every day. How can she have time to put on makeup for me?... Besides, I can't put on makeup every day."
Lin Jiu waved his hands helplessly, "It's over... You're already dark, there's nothing we can do." He walked a few steps and sat on the stool, closing his eyes and feeling the cold wind.
Zhou Jingmeng: “…”
Liu Qing smiled lightly and turned his gaze back to the phone screen.
Seeing that both of them ignored her, Zhou Jingmeng sat alone in her seat and sulked.
She took out her phone and looked at it for a few minutes. She didn't know what she saw when she suddenly screamed "Ah!"
Liu Qing turned around, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Jingmeng and Liu Qing looked at each other, then turned their heads slightly and moved their chins towards Lin Jiu.
She whispered to Liu Qing: "The school confession wall."
Liu Qing immediately took out his cell phone, and within a few seconds, his eyes widened slightly.
They both looked at Lin Jiu at the same time. Lin Jiu still had his head tilted back and his eyes closed, looking as if he was resting.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Jingmeng said, "Lin Jiu, take a look at the confession wall and see if the photo is your boyfriend. There are a lot of comments below asking for his contact information."
Lin Jiu opened his eyes and tilted his head to look at them: "Confession Wall?"
Zhou Jingmeng and Liu Qing nodded repeatedly.
Lin Jiu moved slowly, not even glancing at the phone on the table. He was a little surprised: "Do you still remember what my boyfriend looks like?"
She recalled everything that happened after school started, and it seemed that Chen Miao had not yet formally met her roommates.
Their first reaction when they saw the photo was her boyfriend?
Zhou Jingmeng immediately rolled her eyes, "Come on, is this the point?!"
On the other side, Liu Qing was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Zhou Jingmeng and wanted to let her take the question.
Zhou Jingmeng leaned on the stool with a calm expression, "You don't know what your boyfriend looks like, right? Who wouldn't want to take a few more glances? I took a picture of him on the first day of school. I was planning to ask you for his contact information that evening, but he ended up being your boyfriend... Last night, when you were walking in the playground, you walked in front of Liu Qing and me, and the impression was even deeper."
"Oh...I see."
Lin Jiu got the answer to the question, suddenly realized it, and then looked straight at Zhou Jingmeng.
Zhou Jingmeng was frightened by Lin Jiu's gaze and subconsciously said, "Alright, your boyfriend has been targeted by others, go and protect your sovereignty."
Lin Jiu said slowly: "But I didn't add the school's confession wall..."
Zhou Jingmeng: “…”
Liu Qing: “…”
They never expected...
No wonder Lin Jiu didn’t take any action.
Lin Jiu stood up and walked to Zhou Jingmeng's side, leaning in front of the phone screen, "Let me see."
Zhou Jingmeng simply gave her the phone and said, "Take it and have a look yourself."
The dynamic is very simple, in the form of text plus pictures——
Please give me the contact information of this handsome guy~ Thank you so much!!!
With pictures.
There are two pictures in total. Both are wearing military training uniforms, without hats.
The first picture is a side profile. He is standing in the shade of a tree, leaning casually against the tree, looking down at his phone, as if replying to a message.
The second picture is from the front. He seems to have discovered the person taking the photo secretly. He frowns and looks at the camera with sharp eyes and is quite impatient.
Lin Jiu admired it for a few seconds.
To be honest, the photography skills are really good.
Lin Jiu glanced at Zhou Jingmeng, smiled faintly and said, "Please send me the picture later, I will save it."
“......Okay.” Zhou Jingmeng covered his forehead.
After looking through the comment section, I found that there are indeed many comments asking for contact information.
Among them, there seem to be quite a few comments from people I know.
Someone who seems to be from the School of Economics commented: The guy from the Finance 1 class next door has a partner.
Someone who was suspected to be my roommate commented: We are in the same dormitory, and his girlfriend is in our school, so forget it.
These two comments are particularly eye-catching among the comments, with few likes but a lot of replies——
Holy shit, who acted so quickly?!
[crying] emoticon.
The handsome guy was booked so early?
Who stole my boyfriend?
......
After looking at it for a few minutes, Lin Jiu returned the phone to Zhou Jingmeng and said, "Remember to forward the pictures to me."
Zhou Jingmeng never expected that Lin Jiu's reaction was so indifferent, as if he had eaten a melon that had nothing to do with her.
"No more?"
Lin Jiu: “No more.”
Zhou Jingmeng: "Why don't you do something else?"
Lin Jiu was puzzled: "What should I do?"
Zhou Jingmeng: "For example, domineering comments like 'He's my boyfriend, please don't disturb me.' or 'I'm his girlfriend, please go away.'"
Lin Jiu: "No need, it's enough that they all know he has a girlfriend, and there's no contact information for him there, so I'm too lazy to add another confession wall."
Too lazy to add a confession wall!
This is the main reason!!
Liu Qing: “…”
Zhou Jingmeng: “…”
The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.
Zhou Jingmeng felt sorry for his misfortune and was angry at his lack of fighting spirit. He glanced at Lin Jiu and quickly tapped the box.
My dear family! They are in love and have a great relationship, so please stop watching.
After taking a long breath, Zhou Jingmeng exuded a sense of indifference as if he had hidden his achievements and fame, and looked at Lin Jiu with pride.
That look seemed to say: You're welcome.
Liu Qing saw the new comment and gave Zhou Jingmeng a thumbs-up: "Domineering."
Lin Jiu glanced at the two of them: "......"
Patting Zhou Jingmeng on the shoulder, she said, "Give me the photo."
When Zhou Jingmeng heard the word "photo", he was stunned.
She yelled at Lin Jiu's departing figure, "Your boyfriend can watch whatever he wants and take as many pictures as he wants. Why is he missing these few pictures?"
Lin Jiu turned around, looking a little shy: "Sorry to take pictures..."
A second later, she added, "Also, I'm not very good at taking pictures. My skills are pretty poor."
Zhou Jingmeng and Liu Qing looked at each other for a second, then looked up at the ceiling in tacit understanding.
After taking a nap, Zhou Jingmeng suggested taking a walk in the center of Jinhai City.
Liu Qing agreed, but Lin Jiu refused.
She has an appointment with Chen Miao.
During the military training, they were clearly on the same playground, but they met only a few times.
It's like having a long-distance relationship.
Of course, this is mostly Lin Jiu's problem.
For convenience, she ate directly with her roommates.
She also suggested that Chen Miao take a nap in the dormitory at noon to avoid the hassle of driving. At the same time, he could also eat with his roommates and get to know them better.
Chen Miao had no objection to this.
He does not reject communication among classmates, and normal communication is a must.
The only thing that was hard to accept was that he and Lin Jiu were actually going to have an online romance.
Although it is not a real online love, it is better than online love.
After the first day of military training, Chen Miao was still full of energy, but Lin Jiu was so exhausted that he couldn't get up from his chair.
In her opinion, if Chen Miao came to find her downstairs in the dormitory, at most they would just meet and chat for a few minutes.
She thought it would be better to just chat online, then she wouldn't have to go downstairs.
So before Chen Miao came to see her, she specifically called him on video to tell him about this idea.
At first, Chen Miao refused, leaning back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest, and remained silent for a long time.
However, Lin Jiu, contrary to his usual behavior, looked at him pitifully for the first time, and he really couldn't bear to do it.
Although it was difficult to accept, he still agreed.
Yesterday's walk on the playground was one of the few times they met during the military training.
As for today, it’s an important date.
