MTL - Chasing Summer-Chapter 76

Although Chi Yao doesn't seem to be in a good mood now.

But Lin Zhexia was in a good mood.

"Are you jealous?"

Lin Zhexia was a little happy in her heart, and said intentionally, "Although he is quite in line with my blind... original mate selection criteria...but I am a very dedicated person, don't worry."

She didn't take it seriously at first, and comforted her a few times during the meal.

"You are handsome too, you have to have confidence in yourself."

"I won't empathize with others."

"..."

But until the meal was over, Chi Yao's reaction was still a little weak, he turned his wrist wearing a black hair tie, and picked up the plate in front of her: "I'll pour it out after eating."

On the way back, Lin Zhexia was still trying to liven up the atmosphere.

Anyway, there are two days to sign up for new clubs, and she was not in a hurry to go back, so she asked him, "What club do you plan to join? Let me sign up for one with you."

Chi Yao put his hands in his pockets: "I won't participate."

"Why."

"Do not have time."

Lin Zhexia cautiously probed: "Then...then my roommate and I signed up for the skateboard club?"

Chi Yao glanced at her, and he was almost on the verge of writing "Don't report", but he retracted his eyes, still unable to bear to interfere with her social freedom, and said, "If you want to report, you can report."

"I did."

"..."

"You promise not to be angry." Lin Zhexia said again

Chi Yao sneered: "I still have to be happy and see you off?"

Lin Zhexia: "That's not necessary."

The two separated after eating.

Chi Yao still has something to do in her major, and she also has classes in the afternoon.

She went back to the dormitory to get her textbooks, and sat in the classroom waiting for the teacher to enter the class, wondering why Chi Yao was jealous.

Lin Zhexia thought that she might be the person who understood Chi Yao best in the world, not one of them.

But even so, she still couldn't quite understand it.

Why did Chi Yao care so much about a joke she made when she was a child.

No matter how you think about it, you should know that it was just a joke.

It was purely to annoy him, to take advantage of the quarrel.

"Class is over," Lin Zhexia was thinking in a daze, when the classmate sitting next to her reminded her, "What are you thinking, the teacher has been in class to see you for a long time."

Lin Zhexia came back to her senses and temporarily put aside the question just now.

On the other side, in Lian Da's professional classroom with its own teaching building.

"The progress of our project is still a bit slow..."

The professional teacher explained the tasks of the next stage in front of the blackboard, and made a pre-class summary, "Let's do the same for the next stage as before, Chi Yao, you are in charge."

Those who are called by the teacher sit in the back row of the classroom.

The classroom is a computer room. He seemed to have just woken up, with his hat drooped behind his head, and he responded calmly.

After joining the project team, it is not like ordinary classes where teachers explain the whole process in the classroom. They need to complete the practical tasks at hand more by themselves. After the professional teacher finished speaking, he left the classroom, and the leader of the entire classroom became Chi Yao.

But he is not like the monitor, he looks like the "boss" of the class.

"Brother Yao," several people gathered around to ask questions, "Let's talk about it, I've been thinking about it for a long time."

Chi Yao's attitude towards lecturing questions to them is not very good, but today is particularly bad: "Go straight out and turn right, the teacher's office. Ask yourself."

"Don't dare to ask," one of them said, "I went back to ask, but I was dragged and said that I don't have the spirit of independent research, so I don't want to be sent to my door to be reprimanded."

Chi Yao pinched the knuckles of his fingers, and then took the pen from the person next to him.

The man understood, opened the draft paper, and pressed the paper on top of a book: "Please."

Chi Yao casually wrote down a few steps on the paper.

When he threw down the pen, he asked a rare question: "Who brought the cigarettes?"

The school does not allow smoking in the teaching building, and several people immediately proved their innocence: "I didn't bring it."

"Me neither. I usually pay attention to my health and never smoke."

"Yes Brother Yao, no one in our class has cigarettes, don't worry, we are very law-abiding."

"You just search the whole classroom, but you can't find one."

"..." Chi Yao's forehead twitched. Surrounded by this group of people, he felt a bit of a headache. It was rare for him to swear, "Who the **** wants you to obey the law?"

"I mean, give me one if you have one. Understand?"

The entire classroom was silent for a few seconds.

Then the group of people who said they had no cigarettes took out cigarette cases from their pockets one after another. The colors of the cigarette cases were different, and there were all kinds of things.

They stood in a row as if they were handing in their homework, and took the initiative to say, "Which brand do you want to smoke? There are everything here. Do you want domestic or foreign products?"

Chi Yao raised his hand, took a lighter from someone, and then randomly took one out of the cigarette case closest to him.

Someone kindly reminded: "Remember to go to the corner at the end of the corridor to smoke, there is no surveillance, and you will not be caught. If you think the environment there is not good, you can also go to the small garden downstairs to enjoy the plants while..."

Before he finished speaking, Chi Yao had already left.

After Chi Yao left, several people whispered.

"...Brother Yao has such a temper today."

"Isn't he a non-smoker? Why did he suddenly start smoking?"

"Could it be lovelorn? No way." Someone said, "If we grow up like this and don't have seven girlfriends, it's fine to change one every day, seven days a week. How can we live if we still lose love?"

"..."

Chi Yao, who was "suspiciously broken in love" by everyone, walked to the end of the corridor.

At the corner was an empty corner blocked by green plants. He leaned against the wall and took out the lighter from his pocket.

There are many classrooms on this floor, and the voice of the classroom teacher in class can be heard from time to time.

Although he has not smoked for some time, he is still very skillful in holding the cigarette. With the cigarette between his fingers, he lowered his head and moved closer to his mouth to bite. Before he was about to press the lighter, he thought of something and put down his hand again. .

The unlit cigarette was quietly held between his fingers.

Chi Yao lowered his eyes.

He just suddenly thought of Lin Zhexia's eyes, those eyes when he seriously said "smoking is not good" to him at night under the street lamp.

never mind.

…

Anyway, on the way here, the craving for cigarettes caused by restlessness has gone down a lot.

He casually threw the cigarette in the trash can at hand, and then pressed the lighter in boredom.

The faint light of the lighter flickered.

After pressing the last button, he put away the lighter and called He Yang.

He Yang was in physical education class, and when he answered the phone, he just got off from watching the field and asked out of breath, "What's wrong?"

"Playing?"

"The first half just ended," He Yang said, "what?"

He Yang walked to the resting place, took a sip of water, "I have something to say."

Chi Yao's words came to his lips, he didn't know whether to say them, but finally he just said: "I want to catch up with you."

He Yang knew him very well: "Fart, when will you think of looking for me to catch up on the past, it's not bad if you don't forget about me."

Chi Yao was silent on the phone for a while.

Then he suddenly said: "I am with Lin Zhexia, she is the one I chased after."

He Yang: "I know, you guys have already shown me countless times about your love affair, so you don't need to call me and tell me about it again."

However, this time the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

Chi Yao didn't come here to show off, nor did he come here to bring up the past, he changed the subject and said in a low voice, "—Tell me, should I not chase her?"

He Yang: "?"

He Yang was a little dumbfounded: "No, what's going on, your relationship has changed?"

"Didn't it be fine before? You liked her before, and you finally got together. Are you the kind of man who doesn't cherish her when you get it?" He Yang made it clear, "This is not so good, brother, everyone You are such an acquainted friend, you can't mess up and give up that way, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

"..."

Chi Yao was given a headache by what he said, and interrupted: "Are you finished?"

He Yang: "There is one last sentence."

Chi Yao: "Hold on."

He Yang: "But if I don't say it, it's really hard. I want to call you a scumbag."

"..."

After He Yang finished speaking, he waited and waited: "Yao Yao, why don't you talk anymore."

Chi Yao's voice was cool: "I'm calling a car."

"Why are you calling a car? At this point, shouldn't you be in class?"

"Call a car to Lianyun Normal University," Chi Yao said, "then come to the basketball court."

"play basketball?"

"Beat."

He Yang rubbed his nose: "...It seems that I guessed wrong, what is it?"

Chi Yao was silent for a while.

In the end, rubbing his dry fingertips, he said something inexplicable for a long time: "She would have met many people."

He Yang couldn't understand at all: "Why are there so many people?"

"It's nothing." It was always difficult to speak from the bottom of his heart. Chi Yao was not an easy character to confide in, so he finally swallowed what he wanted to say, "I'm dead."

He Yang raised his voice: "No—you've said half of what you said, and you're whetting my appetite."

What responded to him was a series of cold reminders: the call has ended.

After hanging up the phone, Chi Yao leaned against the wall again, stared at the long corridor in front of him, and completed what he wanted to say in his heart.

——She would have met a lot of people. After she turned 18 and went to college, her life just started. Before she was with him, her world was very small, and the people she met were not many. many.

So maybe, she still doesn't know what it means to like.

She would agree to his pursuit, maybe because she thought he was not bad.

Maybe she hasn't met someone she really likes yet.

This person may be the skate club member who meets her mate selection criteria today, or it may be someone else.

All in all, she should be meeting more people, and possibly liking someone who better fits her criteria.

Thinking of this, Chi Yao found helplessly that he had no sense of security.

The two are clearly together, and their relationship is very stable. But because he cared too much, even if he was already together, he still cared too much about her.

I care about whether her love will last forever.

"Jingle Bell".

The get out of class bell rings.

In the afternoon, there were two big classes in succession. Lin Zhexia packed up her textbooks, just walked out of the classroom, and sent a message to Chi Yao.

-I'm out of class

- when do you finish and i come to meet you for dinner

In the past, the two would have dinner together.

But today, it was rare for Chi Yao to reject her.

Boyfriend: it will be late

Boyfriend: eat first

Lin Zhexia replied with an "oh".

Although it was just a text chat, she couldn't hear the sound, and couldn't detect the tone, but because of a special telepathy with Chi Yao, she vaguely felt that this person seemed to be still angry.

As if to confirm her guess.

He Yang's message happened to be sent over: You and Brother Yao had a conflict?

Lin Zhexia:?

He Yang didn't know whether to say it or not. After all, no matter how familiar he is, this is also a matter between couples. But according to his understanding of Chi Yao, he thought that this call was probably very important, so he reported it truthfully: I called and said some inexplicable things.

Lin Zhexia: ...

Lin Zhexia was a little dazed.

His vinegar, drink it.

That must be a century-old vinegar, which is still sour.

In the end, she replied to He Yang: It's a little conflict, it's nothing, don't worry about it.

Da Zhuang: All right, I’ll tell you anyway.

Lin Zhexia walked out following the class crowd with her head down, and when she was replying to He Yang's message with her head down, Lan Xiaoxue, who was in class in the same building, also walked to the stairs, and Lan Xiaoxue patted her: "What a coincidence."

Lin Zhexia raised her head: "Xiaoxue, can I ask you something."

Lan Xiaoxue: "Huh?"

Lin Zhexia handed her the book in her hand: "Help me take it back to the dormitory, and ask me for a vacation by the way, I may have something to do in the evening, and I won't be able to make it back."

After Lin Zhexia stuffed the book to her, there was only a bunch of keys left in her hand.

There are three keys hanging on the cartoon keychain, one for the Lin family, one for the dormitory, and the last one, which is the house that Chi Yao rented out of school.

After such a long time, she almost forgot the feeling of breaking into his house with a key.

After she arrived at Chi Yao's house, she looked around and found that the furnishings were similar to when she left.

She originally wanted to help Chi Yao clean up before he came back, but she found that there was nothing to clean up, so she could only curl up on the sofa, eating snacks and waiting for him to come back.

Chi Yao's "workload" tonight is indeed a lot, and he can't get away from the classroom after ten o'clock.

He took the time to send two messages to Lin Zhexia.

- back to the bedroom

- Lights out, go to bed early.

Lin Zhexia replied with a nodding emoji.

Girlfriend: Mmmm.

After eleven o'clock, he returned from the computer room.

At this point, the apartment lobby was empty and there was no one there.

He pressed the elevator button and went upstairs as usual. After opening the door, he raised his hand and pressed the key to turn on the light source in the living room. The moment he turned on the light, a figure moved on the sofa.

Lin Zhexia was sleeping curled up in a blanket, but was disturbed by the sound of the door opening and the light.

Chi Yao saw the **** the sofa with her hair covered, her eyes squinted, she was huddled in the blanket, she sat up from the sofa in a daze, and said to him, "You came back so late."

He didn't think there would be anyone in the family.

Never thought that Lin Zhexia would wait for him at home.

"..." Chi Yao put the key on the shelf at the entrance, his whole body was still covered with the chill outside, "Why are you here?"

Lin Zhexia's drowsiness dissipated quickly, she wrapped around the blanket and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I feel that my boyfriend is a little unhappy, so I came here to comfort him."
