Gong Xue looked at Jia Qian inexplicably, pursed her lips, and looked at her carefully for a while, until Jia Qian screamed, "Look what I'm doing, tell me quickly, how is Chen Lining, can I get into your old man's house?"
Fayan... Xiaoxue, don't just smile... talk... Xiaoxue..."
Gong Xue smiled silently, sliding her fingers on the smooth tabletop, and finally took the book that Chen Lining had placed on the table.
It was a law book with difficult and boring content, a subject that Jia Qian from the law department hated. Jia Qian also saw the title of the book, reflexively frowned, and glanced at Chen Lining, who was waiting to order in the student queue.
He glanced at him and lowered his voice and said: "I heard Mao Ningxun from his dormitory say that Chen Lining was the top scholar in liberal arts in the neighboring city last year. For some unknown reason, he gave up going to the National People's Congress and came to our school."
oh?
Are you also a person with a story?
Gong Xue couldn't help but look at Chen Lining's back.
Chen Lining was very efficient. After a while, he returned to his seat holding two trays firmly with both hands.
Gong Xue's farm chicken drumsticks, hot orange juice, and a box of freshly baked purple sweet potato tarts; I don't know if Chen Lining did it intentionally, but his food was mixed with Jiaqian's on the same tray. The most obvious thing is that Jiaqian must eat every meal.
The four boxes of Colonel's chicken nuggets she ordered were pushed to her side.
The aroma of fried chicken stimulated her taste buds, and Gong Xue was not polite. She peeled off the wrapper of the burger and ate it. The orange juice was very warm, and it was not the same temperature as usual. She sipped it and squinted her eyes with satisfaction.
Chen Lining is quite attentive.
Suddenly, a familiar food packaging bag was pushed in front of her eyes.
"It's freshly baked, eat it while it's hot!" What caught your eye was Jia Qian's smile that was sweeter and warmer than orange juice.
Is the reason why she is late because of this hot bag of fried chestnuts?
Only Jiaqian can remember her favorite food. Every time we get together, she always goes to the small store a few blocks away and waits for half an hour to buy a pack of hot chestnuts.
Bring it to her.
Chestnuts are valuable, but the friendship contained in them is priceless.
Gong Xue lowered her head, looked at the sugary chestnuts, and smiled, "I don't want to say thank you all the time, you forced me..."
Jia Qian smiled with a crooked eyebrow, reached across the table, reached over her chubby hand, shook her hard, and winked: "Then just say a few more words to prove that I am really a good person!"
Gong Xue burst into laughter, and even Chen Lining, who had a pale face, showed a rare smile.
I wonder if she ate too much ice cream, so Jia Qian winked with Gong Xue and lied about going to the bookstore next door to buy books, but she was actually going to the toilet.
Before Gong Xue could expose her hypocrisy, Chen Lining suddenly called out to the anxious Jia Qian. He took out a pack of rare brand tissue from his pocket and handed it to Jia Qian, "You forgot to bring it!" His eyes
, so gentle that it looks like you can squeeze out water...
When Jia Qian petrified and Gong Xue laughed again, Chen Lining pointed her extremely beautiful finger towards the newly vacated bathroom and said, "If it's too late, there will be no room."
Jia Qian's face turned red as she ran wildly to the sea and never returned.
Gong Xue and Chen Lining were facing each other in silence in the booth. The atmosphere was a bit strange, but not awkward. Gong Xue found that Chen Lining had a unique calming temperament. Even if there was no communication between them, it would not make him feel restless.
feeling..
Gong Xue shoulders a heavy responsibility, and while Jiaqian is not present, those same questions hidden in her heart require him to give an answer.
Chen Lining suddenly smiled, touched the rim of the drink glass, and spoke with a faint look: "Gong Xue, what do you want to ask me?"
Gong Xue took a sip of her drink and asked him calmly and generously: "Three questions. First, why do you like the ordinary Jia Qian; second, why didn't you go to the National People's Congress; third, your family."
Be concise and get to the point.
When a man and a woman fall in love, they cannot escape the tacky but practical reality. He is also an ordinary person. Since he has the courage to express his love, he should also have the ability to bear love.
Chen Lining did not answer immediately, and the expression on his face did not show the surprise or panic that ordinary people should have. He just lowered his eyes quietly and thought for a while before turning his clear eyes again to this unique and intelligent girl in front of him.
"I am an orphan." He answered the third question first.
Gong Xue was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and waited for the next step.
"I often hear Jiaqian mention you. Are you an orphan too?" There was no malice in his eyes.
Gong Xue suppressed a smile, nodded slowly, and admitted, "Yes. My parents are soldiers, and they died while performing their missions."
Chen Lining's gaze became much deeper than before, with a maturity that he should not have at his age. He looked at Gong Xue, smiled, and continued: "You are luckier than me. At least, you have an impression of your parents.
I...I am different from you. Because I am an abandoned baby."
Abandoned baby?!
Gong Xue's heart trembled, her fingers clenched the tissue on the table, and she looked straight at him.
Chen Lining seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of gaze with pity and concern. He smiled, turned the drink cup in a circle, and said: "I was adopted by my current adoptive parents when I was six years old in the orphanage.
They are famous businessmen in the neighboring city, and I have become a rich second generation with a fortune of hundreds of millions."
His tone was very calm, not like a rich man who grew up in a welfare institution, but like a erudite scholar. However, Gong Xue felt inexplicably heartbroken. Looking at the fact from this calm and indifferent face,
But it is a soul that has gone through all the vicissitudes of life and is riddled with holes.
It was precisely because she had experienced that kind of pain that she knew how valuable Chen Lining's smile and calmness were.
Chen Lining said: "As for me not reporting to the National People's Congress, the reason is somewhat similar to the reason you applied for Mobei University. My adoptive father was diagnosed with early-stage kidney cancer last year and had a kidney removed in Beijing. I wanted to be closer to him so that I could take care of him more easily."
Gong Xue looked at him, "Don't you regret it?"
Chen Lining smiled, with a faint brilliance in his eyes, "In the face of knowledge, there is no distinction between rich and poor, high or low, as long as you have the desire to know, you can become talented anywhere."
Gong Xue also smiled. At this moment, she felt that she and Chen Lining were really the same kind of people.
"Then what are you doing to Jiaqian..."
Mentioning Jia Qian's name, Chen Lining's expression became softer. His beautiful fingers tapped on the table, and a faint smile escaped from the corners of his lips, as if he was recalling some interesting past events.
"Jia Qian and I met at a charity event at a welfare home. You also know what kind of girl she is, so when she and I were assigned to a group to help comfort a five-year-old abandoned baby girl,
The warmth I feel from her body is countless times greater than that of that young girl..." Chen Lining smiled faintly, looked at Gong Xue, whose eyebrows gradually widened, and said, "It's actually very simple to fall in love.
There is no reason for the last person. Jia Qian can bring me a lifetime of joy and warmth, and I also want to use my whole life to love and protect her."
