Lin Yi thanked Teacher Tang for his enlightenment and felt that he had finally found some meaning in learning again. His learning status improved in the following days.
On this Sunday, Lin Yi rushed to school early because he felt that studying at home was too inefficient.
It was a snowy day. When Lin entered the dormitory, he was surprised to find that the dormitory director Lu Bowen had arrived earlier than him.
"Brother Lu, how are you doing today?" He said hello while dropping his bag.
"Today is Wang Siyuan's birthday."
Lin Yi reacted for a moment and then remembered that Wang Siyuan was referring to the elementary school girl wearing a red armband, Lu Bowen's current girlfriend.
"So, what kind of work did you do for her? You don't need me to put out the candles this time, right?"
Lao Lu was quite embarrassed, his whole face turned red: "I didn't prepare anything special, I just bought a gift."
Lin Yi is not as gossipy as Old Xiong. If he were here, he would have to ask what the gift was.
However, Lao Lu's voice suddenly dropped: "Actually, I invited her to have dinner with her, but she said she wanted to be with her parents and would have to wait until after evening self-study to have time."
In my impression, it's not time for them to break up yet.
So Lin Yi comforted her: "There's nothing you can do about spending your birthday with your parents. You don't suspect that she secretly dated someone else, right?"
"That's not true."
Lao Lu was not like this. He thought for a while and asked a question: "Lin Yi, will Gu Caiwei ask you for any gifts on her birthday?"
Lin Yi quickly recalled that the first time Gu Caiwei hinted wildly, she should take it, right?
I didn't say anything the last time, but I was very sure that I would prepare honestly because the relationship between the two of them is no longer the same.
"Why, she asked you for something?"
"No, she didn't ask me for anything."
Lin Yi looked a little confused when he saw the disappointed look on his face: "This kind of good girl who doesn't want anything is hard to find even with a lantern after leaving school. What are you worried about here?"
"It's just that... although she didn't ask for a gift from me, she doesn't seem to be planning to celebrate her birthday with me."
"If I hadn't called her, she wouldn't have asked me what I was going to do for her. I originally wanted to give her a surprise, but in the end, she also left dinner for her parents."
Lin Yi laughed: "You are not used to your girlfriend being too independent. You will miss this kind of person who can even solve birthdays by yourself."
Lao Lu felt that Lin Yi's words were really unlucky. What do you mean you will miss him in the future?
It's as if they can't make it to the end.
He felt that Lin Yi didn't really understand him, so he thought about it and added another piece of information: "You know Lin Yi, I am not Wang Siyuan's first love."
"How do you know it?"
"She told me herself that she had a relationship with her when she was in junior high school, and we got points after graduation."
Lin Yi gave his evaluation: "That's good, it means that the elementary school girl didn't fool you. Why, you still dislike her because it's not your first love?"
"It's not that I dislike it..."
Lao Lu felt that this feeling was both subtle and difficult to express because he was a boy.
"It's just that I feel like she doesn't need me very much. If I don't go to her, she rarely comes to me."
"This is even more true after the senior year of high school."
Lin Yi understood what he meant: "Maybe the elementary school girl is sensible and doesn't want to disturb you in your review and preparation for the exam?"
"Yes, I think so too."
"But if you don't even use me for birthdays, then am I still a boyfriend?"
It seems that Lao Lu's relationship has reached a crossroads.
As Lin Yi, who had read the reference answers in advance, he could only advise at this time: "Don't think too much, just enjoy the process."
Lao Lu shook his head: "I just think she doesn't like me that much."
…
After Lin Yi finished chatting with Lao Lu, he walked alone from the dormitory to the teaching building. He thought of the conversation with Lao Lu just now, and recalled the thoughts that were interrupted at Broken Star Lake a few days ago.
At noon on Sunday, the campus was deserted. Lin Yi stepped on the thin snow, leaving a long series of footprints behind him.
He did not go directly into the classroom, but instead went to the small attic - the top of Linzhong.
This is the place with the best view in the whole school. Through the transparent glass wall, you can see the snowflakes dancing outside, gradually turning the entire campus white.
Lin Yi took out his small Nokia and dialed Gu Caiwei's number.
Since she went to BJ, Lin Yi has not taken the initiative to contact her. Because she has signed up for several schools and her schedule for the school exam is very tight. In addition, she has to rehearse, so Gu Caiwei has not sent a few text messages.
The busy tone on the phone lasted for a minute and then hung up automatically.
Lin Yi was very patient and dialed again, but still no one answered.
After repeating this many times, I finally stopped trying.
He was a little depressed. Today was Sunday and Gu Caiwei probably wasn't taking the exam.
However, he was not too disappointed. He was still observing the snowy scene outside with great interest, looking for any differences between Linzhong campus in winter and usual.
Ten minutes later, his cell phone rang.
"Lin Yi, what's wrong with you? Mom said there were more than a dozen missed calls from you." The familiar voice on the other side sounded a little panicked, but it made him feel calm.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
He comforted him before continuing: "Is your mother here too?"
This meant that we were about to chat alone, and a "wait a moment" came from the receiver.
One minute later.
"I'm out, I'm alone now."
Lin Yi heard that she seemed to be holding a heater in her mouth: "Did you run outside?"
"yes!"
School belle Gu still sounded full of energy: "Lin Yi, let me tell you, it's really cold in Beijing. We must bring more clothes when we go to study here in the future."
"My mother said she took me here when I was little, but I have no memory at all."
“However, even though it’s super cold outside, the heating inside makes it very comfortable, so you don’t need to wear a coat at all.”
She was chattering to herself, and Lin Yi listened quietly without interrupting. She felt that the wind was also very gentle at this moment, and the snow was also very gentle.
"How was your exam?" He still remembered to ask something serious.
"It's not bad, hee hee. I'll tell you when I go back after I finish the exam."
She seemed to suddenly remember that the call was from Lin Yi: "By the way, why did you call me so many times all of a sudden?"
"I was practicing just now, and my mother came to me with her cell phone."
Lin Yi felt the chill there and sniffed: "It's nothing, I suddenly want to hear your voice."
"Ha ha!"
The person on the other side was stunned for a second, and then heard a clear laugh.
"Okay, I heard the sound too. It's cold outside. You should go back quickly."
Before she was about to hang up the phone, Lin whispered a message: "Gu Caiwei, it's snowing in Lin'an today, the first snow in 2012."
As if in a moment of bliss, the girl opposite understood this sentence.
