Especially towards Troy, an enthusiastic old classmate, his attitude was a little too cold - it could even be said to be a little rude, because until now, he had mostly interacted with the other party by himself, and Zhang Ke had rarely helped.
And now that he was deliberately pulling himself close to him, it looked even more abnormal.
"It's nothing -" Zhang Ke frowned and said, "Just don't get too close to him. I haven't trusted this person since I was a student. Just try to stay with me."
"Since school days" is of course a lie. After all, Zhang Ke has long forgotten his entire past, let alone this alumnus whom he doesn't know at all. However, he feels that it would be easier for Yuan Mengmeng to tell it like this.
believe.
"Oh, I get it--"
Obviously, Zhang Ke misjudged the infatuation of the girl in love.
"You are afraid that he is too handsome and a top student with a promising future, and you are afraid that I will be snatched away by him, right?" Yuan Mengmeng said excitedly, "Humph, you finally have a sense of crisis. Let you
Being so cold to me these days should give you a sense of crisis."
"Ah? That's not what I meant. Isn't he handsome??" Zhang Ke couldn't laugh or cry, but Yuan Mengmeng held his hand tighter:
"Don't worry, no matter how handsome you are or how good your conditions are, they can't compare to one of your fingers in my heart. Didn't I not agree when Han Gang chased me before?"
"Ah, ha, ha, let's do it then." Zhang Ke thought that although the motives were different, the final effect seemed to be the same, so he didn't bother to explain.
"This is the botanical garden on the roof. How about it? It's very well maintained. It's as good as any botanical garden in the world." Troy said with some pride as he opened the door to the roof.
"It is indeed... very spectacular."
Zhang Ke and Yuan Mengmeng were a little shocked as they looked at the continuous sea of ​​green trees and colorful flowers in front of them. This was definitely a paradise for plants. It seemed to be the only quiet place in this noisy city. Located in
The high roof overlooks the hustle and bustle of the world.
The distribution density, growth height and lushness of various plants are comparable to those in a natural forest, without the strict and conspicuous artificial planning of ordinary botanical gardens, or even the feeling of greenhouse planting.
Thousands of plants gather on this floor, seeming to form a self-consistent and complete ecological system. Under the tall trees are clusters of dwarf shrubs, and dense herbaceous plants are covered with fragrant flowers of various colors. No plant is too obvious.
It is very abrupt or unsociable, like a wild peachland that has existed for a long time, with colorful fallen flowers and green corridors.
Even because of the luxuriant plants, the two of them could still see some small animals walking through the trees, such as squirrels, which are very rare in the city, and various small birds that cannot be named.
If a person were blindfolded and brought to this place, he would definitely think that he was sent to a wild forest far away from the world - and when he thought that this botanical garden was built on the roof of a modern building, Zhang Ke was shocked.
The feeling is even more overwhelming.
"How is this done... This is simply a park, no, a wildlife reserve." Yuan Mengmeng asked.
"I'm also very curious. I think the main reason is not only that the school has invested a lot of money to create a primitive ecological botanical garden, but also the excellent managers here who work hard to take care of it every day."
When Troy said this, there was no ordinary expression of admiration or admiration on his face. Instead, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. However, this detail was not noticed by Zhang Ke.
"Let's take a deeper look. Don't be afraid. Although this place looks like a primitive jungle, it is actually full of modern technological devices. You won't get lost or in danger." Troy smiled and extended his hand to Yuan Mengmeng.
He took action, "By the way, if you go west, there will be a flower field. Although the purpose is not for viewing, it is quite beautiful. Why don't you go and take a look?"
"Uh... ok, but..." Yuan Mengmeng glanced at Troy's hand with some embarrassment, and then at Zhang Ke. The meaning was obvious - she had a boyfriend, and in front of him
, it seemed a bit strange to accept Troy's invitation to hold hands.
Although foreigners are said to be open-minded and may think that it is okay to do this among friends, Yuan Mengmeng still has relatively traditional values ​​after all and cannot accept it so readily.
Of course Zhang Ke understood what she meant. He cleared his throat and was about to say something when he saw Troy passing through Yuan Mengmeng and coming to him, smiling and saying:
"Miss Yuan, you misunderstood. What I meant was that you can go over and see the flower fields by yourself. Your boyfriend and I have something to talk about - it is a secret topic between men. If you are listening next to him, he may be a little uncomfortable.
It’s natural.”
"You and me? Secret topic?" Zhang Ke frowned even more tightly. Although there was no definite evidence, he always felt that the other party would say something that would make his skin crawl.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought wrong - you old classmates should chat more, so I won't bother you. The flower field is over there, right? I'll be there right away..." After Yuan Mengmeng finished speaking, she became a little red.
He turned around with a face and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Ke:
"Wait a minute, I'll go take a look with you. Troy, if you have anything to say, let's talk while we walk."
"No, although it's a bit rude of me to do this, but these words can only be discussed when there are only two of us." Although Troy smiled, he shook his head very firmly.
"Okay, I understand, I'm going to avoid it right away." Yuan Mengmeng saw that the other party had said it so clearly, and knew that if she didn't leave quickly, she just couldn't read the air, so she hurriedly walked away.
Before leaving, he told Zhang Ke: "When you finish chatting later, you can come find me in the flower field."
"Then, if you have anything to say, you have to tell me one-on-one in private."
Looking at Yuan Mengmeng's retreating figure, the nameless fire in Zhang Ke's heart that he had suppressed because she was by his side now surged up again.
Sure enough, I didn't like the person in front of me very much, and the anger in my heart couldn't lie.
"Does taking away your 'now' girlfriend make you so dissatisfied?" Troy deliberately emphasized the word "now" very strongly, and his tone was a bit sinister.
"We haven't contacted each other for many years after graduation, right? What's the important secret?" Zhang Ke didn't answer, but asked instead.
"I have missed you all these years."
