Chapter 18
The afternoon sunlight was weaker than the morning sunlight, and there was a slight breeze in the air, but the 4x100 relay race went on as usual.
The highlight of this relay race was Huang Liang representing Class B of the Computer Science Department and Lian Jian representing the Economics Department. Both of them were the champion and runner-up of the 100-meter individual sprint in the morning.
The team represented by these two people is also the favorite to win the 4x100m.
At 3:20 pm, the players from several teams were ready to go on the tracks where they had drawn lots.
As the word "start" fell, the scene became noisy with cheers, shouts and cheers, and the whole atmosphere became tense.
The athletes on the track competed for prizes, chasing each other and refusing to give up.
Lian Jian's team was now in the lead, leaving the others far behind.
Lian Jian was the second runner and passed the baton to the next person, but Huang Liang was the last person to take the baton in their team.
Originally, Lian Jian's team had left the other teams far behind thanks to him, but the last two legs ran very poorly, especially the last leg, and was directly overtaken by Huang Liang. So the 4x100m championship was finally won by Huang Liang's team.
After the awards were presented, someone ran up and gave Huang Liang a bouquet of flowers. Huang Liang took the flowers and came to Shi Miaomiao.
"Here, for you, flowers go with beautiful women."
Without waiting for Shi Miaomiao to refuse, Huang Liang stuffed the flowers into Shi Miaomiao's arms.
Everyone else at the scene was making a fuss, only Shi Miaomiao was staring blankly at Huang Liang's receding figure.
Lian Jian watched the dramatic scene unfolding before his eyes, which made him even more upset than not winning the 4x100m championship.
It was all because Huang Liang was too fast and he didn't have time to stop it.
Lian Jian sighed and walked to Shi Miaomiao, took the flower in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"This flower is so ugly. Let me keep it for you." Lian Jian said, and then threw it to a male classmate next to him.
"I'm just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. Give them to your partner." The boy looked at the flowers in his hand with a confused look on his face.
After realizing it, he said, "I don't have a girlfriend!"
…
After Lian Jian threw the flowers to the male classmate, he took Shi Miaomiao's hand and walked out.
"Come on, let's talk outside."
The two came to the famous ginkgo forest in the school. At this time, the ginkgo leaves were the yellowest and golden, and each one looked particularly beautiful.
Lian Jian pressed Shi Miaomiao onto the chair under the ginkgo tree: "Come, sit down."
Shi Miaomiao did not refuse and sat down as Lian Jian asked.
"What do you want to say?"
Shi Miaomiao's body was relaxed, and her face showed no sign of panic.
Lian Jian looked at her like this and didn't know what to say.
"You're not angry about what I did just now, are you?" After holding it in for a long time, Lian Jian finally said this.
"Why am I angry? What should I be angry about?" Shi Miaomiao asked back.
Seeing her like this, Lian Jian didn't know what to say.
"I'm glad you're not angry." Lian Jian quickly came in front of Shi Miaomiao with a smile on his face.
"I'm not angry, but you should still explain why you gave the flowers that Huang Liang gave me to someone else." Shi Miaomiao asked.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't pursue the matter?" Lian Jian looked at Shi Miaomiao in surprise.
"I won't pursue it, but that doesn't mean I won't ask anything." Shi Miaomiao was very reasonable and well-founded.
"Besides, the flower is so beautiful, it doesn't affect you at all."
Shi Miaomiao had a smile on her face and kept staring at Lian Jian's face, not wanting to miss any subtle expression on his face.
"It doesn't affect anything, I'm just unhappy." Lian Jianjun frowned slightly, but he didn't hide it and was very frank.
"Do you really want to receive that bouquet of flowers?" Lian Jianben was standing there, his dark eyes fixed on Shi Miaomiao's face.
Lian Jian's question made Shi Miaomiao speechless.
After thinking for a while, she said, "It's not a question of whether I want to receive that bouquet of flowers, it's a question of whether you... want me to receive that bouquet of flowers."
Lian Jian heard her answer and realized that she was a little awkward, but smiled: "Of course I don't want you to accept it."
"What about you? What do you think?" Lian Zhen looked at Shi Miaomiao directly with eager eyes.
Shi Miaomiao fell silent at this time, and time passed by minute by minute.
As Lian Jian waited, his expression became more and more serious.
Shi Miaomiao looked up at Lian Jian: "Lian Jian, I..."
Before Shi Miaomiao could finish her words, Lian Jian interrupted her: "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do in the dormitory. I'll be leaving first."
After saying this, Lian Jian strode away.
Shi Miaomiao looked at Lian Jian's departing back, feeling both amused and helpless.
She knew he wanted to hear her affirmative answer. She liked Lian Jian, but why was she hesitating?
Is it because I first came into contact with Lian Jian because of a mission, and now that I really like Lian Jian, do I feel that this relationship is not so pure?
Or maybe it was because he looked so much like her ex-boyfriend, she wasn't sure the real reason why she liked him.
But what does this have to do with Lian Jian? After all, I really like him now!
Looking at Lian Jian's lonely figure, she felt sorry for him.
Shi Miaomiao sat alone under the ginkgo tree and thought for a long time before returning to the dormitory.
In the evening, Shi Miaomiao washed up and lay down on the bed. The light of her mobile phone screen was sometimes bright and sometimes dim. She was sleeping on her side, but her slightly frowned brows could still be seen.
Staring at the chat interface with Lian Jian, clicking in and out again and again.
"well……"
Shi Miaomiao sighed, her heart in turmoil. Finally, she threw her phone aside and buried her head in the quilt, as if this would isolate her from the outside world.
The moon hung on the branches, and the boys' dormitory was still brightly lit.
The people in Lian Jian's dormitory were confused and puzzled when they saw that he had been acting abnormally since he came back at night.
"What's wrong with him?" Dormitory head Yang Cheng, who was lying on the bed, looked at the man who had not said a word since he came back, and asked Li Lei and Fang Li who were sitting in their seats playing games.
Li Lei and Fang Li stopped what they were doing, looked at Lian Jian who was sitting by the window, then looked at each other, full of confusion, and shook their heads together: "We don't know either."
Yang Cheng thought about the recent rumors circulating in the department and guessed, "Could it be that his confession was rejected?"
Seeing that Lian Jian still didn't react, the more he thought about it, the more this possibility seemed to be true. Yang Cheng continued to touch his chin, with a profound look on his face: "I don't know which classmate did it, but he actually rejected the recognized school idol of our department."
The other two looked at each other and agreed with this statement.
Li Lei: "Love is truly a magical thing."
Yang Cheng glanced at him and said teasingly: "What do you know? You just haven't gotten the hang of it yet."
"Alas, it's a pity that we can't taste the bitterness of love, otherwise we would be foolish like him."
He shook his head as he spoke.
Lian Jian was distracted for a moment, then suddenly woke up and realized that he was in the dormitory.
Seeing the current situation of the three people, the words blurted out: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Yang Cheng laughed and said, "How can we sleep when you are like this?"
Then he propped himself up and sat up, "Tell me, what happened."
"Yes, yes, do you need our advice?" Fang Li asked in his Mandarin mixed with dialect.
Although Li Lei didn't say anything, the eagerness in his eyes could not be ignored.
Lian Jian shook his head and said in a low voice: "Nothing."
Seeing him like this, Yang Cheng said seriously: "Why are you being so polite to us? We are brothers. Tell us so that we can give you some advice."
Lian Jian saw that Yang Cheng also cared about him, so he no longer concealed it.
"If you like a girl and you can feel that she likes you too, but you confess your feelings to her and she doesn't agree, why do you think that is?"
