"Isn't it bad to deceive your elders?"
She was still a little hesitant.
Ji Jialin saw that Meng Manxing was persuaded to keep trying.
"That's called a white lie. Besides, relationships are bound to end in failure. It's easy to explain if you find out later. You went with me over the weekend. I've helped you so many times, so helping me once isn't too much, right?"
“Can this be counted as a condition?”
When Ji Jialin heard this, he smiled and did not answer.
"Okay, okay, let's make it clear that I'm just going to eat and then I'll leave."
"Ok, just go in by yourself."
Meng Manxing stood at the school gate, watching the cars speeding away, feeling like she was being used and then discarded.
Realizing that she looked like a nagging woman, she quickly walked away.
What the hell, she was planning to get off at the school gate.
She shook off the messy thoughts in her mind and walked towards school while typing a text message to Teacher Lin.
"Teacher Lin, Liang Chan came to me again to provoke me. She wants me to be unable to participate in the competition. I have evidence that proves that she wants to harm me."
"That's outrageous. Manxing, don't be afraid. I'll rush back to school. Eat your meal and wait for me in the office. I can't let anyone get hurt."
Teacher Lin was so angry when he saw the text message.
Kids nowadays are really lawless. This time her father must take care of her.
The more Teacher Lin thought about it, the angrier she became. She dialed her phone and called her husband to give him a good scolding to vent her anger.
On Friday, in addition to sending the competition process to Meng Manxing, she also said a few more words of concern to her.
"Manxing, if Liang Chan does anything to you again, you must tell the teacher."
When she found Liang Chan on the list, she ran to the director's office, but the director said that Yang Hong had voluntarily withdrawn, and Liang Chan's father came forward to give his daughter a chance.
Seeing that the person involved did not deny it, she could only agree to the change.
But you can't touch Meng Manxing anymore.
Meng Manxing is the most talented student in recent years and cannot be buried by capital.
Meng Manxing watched the helpful teacher respond obediently, then went back to the dormitory to take a shower, edited out the irrelevant parts at the end of the recording, and went to Teacher Lin's office to wait after dinner.
After showing Teacher Lin the evidence and explaining in detail what happened at the stadium, she was released from the office.
Meng Manxing looked at the time which was almost five o'clock and sighed at Teacher Lin's responsibility. Walking along the path where the setting sun was, she chose a secluded chair and sat down to silently admire the afterglow of the sunset.
In the evening, the sky looked like rouge spilled by a fairy, the rosy glow was a sea of red, and its reflection on the lake surface created two colorful worlds.
She looked at the lake in front of her, took out her cell phone, carefully selected the angle and took a picture, then slowly left.
Ji Jialin, who was hiding under a big tree in the distance, looked at the profile photo of Meng Manxing on his phone and hung up his father's call impatiently.
"I told you I'd bring my girlfriend back. Just wait patiently and don't ask me questions all the time."
"Hey! How dare you talk to me like that, you little brat?"
There was a middle-aged man's voice with a strong voice on the other end of the phone.
Unfortunately, the only response he got was the sound of the phone being turned off.
"Forget it, for the sake of my future daughter-in-law, I'll endure it. If you come alone on the weekend, then you can eat fried meat on thin sticks!"
Father Ji put his phone aside angrily.
Ji Jialin sat down on the chair in front of Meng Manxing by the small lake, staring at the side profile photo illuminated by the setting sun. After looking for a while, he opened the chat box with Meng Manxing.
"Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
Ji Jialin heard his father nagging him to cook his signature dishes, and remembering Meng Manxing's question when they were having dinner in Tiancun before, he also asked the same question in return.
“I don’t eat ginger.”
Meng Manxing was taking a walk when he noticed his phone vibrating and quickly replied.
"OK."
Ji Jialin put down his phone and looked into the distance, imitating Meng Manxing's actions.
After a few hours of reflection, he was certain of one thing: he was somewhat in love with Meng Manxing.
The old man was not wrong.
He couldn't help but chuckle as he remembered the argument he had with his father.
"Boy, you're talking so nicely now. Don't get married, don't get married. When you really meet someone you like, even if your status is not equal, you want her to marry you."
I don’t know if it’s Teacher Lin’s influence, but Liang Chan hasn’t appeared in front of her for a week.
Yang Hong had seen her a few times, but every time she saw her, she was scared to death, like a mouse seeing a cat.
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday night.
Because she had to go home this weekend, she coordinated with Ji Jialin and chose Friday.
Meng Manxing looked at the only pill left in the dormitory and packed it carefully. Since she was going to visit someone else's house, she didn't dress ugly and specially chose the new clothes she wore on the first day of school.
After picking up her things, she put on the brown backpack again and left the dormitory.
Ji Jialin looked at Meng Manxing, who had specially chosen new clothes. When he saw the brown schoolbag, the smile in his eyes faded a little.
Well, it seems not for him.
"Please stop in front for a moment."
"What's wrong?"
Ji Jialin looked at the road ahead and replied.
"Even though it's just a pretense, I have to buy some fruit anyway."
Meng Manxing thought about the change he counted last night and realized that he could have enough left over to make ends meet by eating bread for the next few months.
Most of the royalties she earned were deposited into her card, and a small portion would be given back to her mother from time to time.
Her grandmother had been ill since last year and the family had extra medical expenses. Fortunately, although there was not much labor force at home, with the money saved in the early years and Meng Manxing's subsidy, they were able to make ends meet.
"Don't worry, I've prepared it early in the morning. Just give it to my dad later."
After hearing this, Ji Jialin took out a box from the mezzanine and handed it to Meng Manxing.
Meng Manxing took it in a daze and looked at the small words on the box. He found that it was tea, and a very expensive one at that.
"Since you're here to help me, I don't want you to spend any money, so just give this as a gift."
Ji Jialin glanced at Meng Manxing's expression and found an excuse to explain.
Meng Manxing turned her head to look at Ji Jialin who was driving seriously. She always felt that he had changed and would have ripped her off before.
"Okay."
But in the end she said nothing and let the car move forward.
Soon the car drove into a villa area.
Meng Manxing looked around and knew that the price must be high.
This realization made her admire Ji Jialin a little.
Living in such a nice place, he could actually accept sharing a bus with her and living in the countryside.
She got out of the car when it arrived in front of a retro villa. Before she saw anyone, she heard the cheerful voice of an uncle.
It really came true what Ji Jialin said in the car.
"My dad talks a lot, so if you don't want to answer, just nod your head."
