Chapter 88: Quietly, as if the phone was broken
The man's appearance was handsome and gentle, his speech was mild and polite, and his temperament was also very good.
Shen Li answered him: "It's okay!"
Liang Jingze carefully observed every micro-expression and every move she made, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth: "That means... it's still not bad."
After a few simple sentences, they fell into a short silence again. Liang Jingze picked up the glass and took a sip of water: "If you have time, take me to visit your school?"
"Mm, sure." Shen Li's posture was quite relaxed in front of him, without too much nervousness.
Liang Jingze: "But it might have to wait until the last two days. My schedule is quite full these few days, and I'm mostly in meetings."
Shen Li looked at the restaurant's surrounding environment. The layout was made with rockeries and flowing water, implying that flowing water brings wealth, and there was soothing light music. The atmosphere was very quiet: "It doesn't matter, I can wait until you have time."
Liang Jingze: "Then it's a deal. When the time comes, I'll send you a message, don't you dare not answer my call!"
Shen Li: "I won't."
While waiting for the meal, the two chatted one sentence after another, but most of the chat was about Shen Li's current major.
"The Philosophy Department is actually not bad. You can try to major in psychology. I think this kind of thing will be helpful to you. With your learning talent, it's not a difficult task."
Shen Li nodded: "I will consider it."
She wasn't a person good at communication, but in front of him, Liang Jingze took the initiative to lead the rhythm, making Shen Li's words become more.
Not mentioning the past, only chatting about the current status quo.
Most of the chat was about some special delicacies in Wuchuan and fun attractions.
The meal was served. Knowing she didn't eat much, Liang Jingze didn't order much. Several dishes were what she liked to eat, and the portions were just right, osmanthus honey lotus root, and a bowl of Su Shi cold noodles.
The cold noodles were enough for four people. Liang Jingze saw her finish eating, naturally took the empty bowl she had finished, and helped her serve another bowl: "I already ate in Haishi before coming, I'm not very hungry."
Shen Li told him: "This noodle tastes very similar to what Grandma made."
"Indeed. However... I think the taste made by the teacher's wife is even better."
Liang Jingze was the last batch of students taught by Grandpa before he passed away from illness. At that time, Liang Jingze wasn't very old either.
This matter was also something Shen Li only found out when chatting with him; he was once Grandpa's student.
Shen Li ate three bowls, and that bowl was only a few mouthfuls. After eating, she was already very full.
He only came to Wuchuan on the way to bring her medicine from Haishi. He still had to go to a meeting, so Shen Li didn't disturb him. After eating and sending her back to school.
Liang Jingze drove away.
Shen Li went to the afternoon class. She was prone to sleepiness when full, and listening to the topics with no progress on the stage, she sat in the fifth row and accidentally fell asleep.
With this sleep, she slept until the end of class. Finally, it was the cleaning aunt who woke her up: "Little girl, stop sleeping, class has been over for a while."
Shen Li heard someone calling her and opened her eyes, sleepy-eyed, seeing the sky outside, not knowing when it had darkened.
The whole person had no spirit and lowered her eyelids, until, when she walked to a familiar position.
She seemed to look over habitually and subconsciously.
Under the streetlamp, it was empty, with only a few flying insects.
At this hour, there was no one in this area of the teaching building.
Shen Li walked back to the dormitory slowly alone.
When she reached downstairs at the dormitory, she remembered she hadn't eaten dinner yet. Shen Li stopped and was still thinking about whether to go eat, but in her hesitation, she chose not to eat.
The cafeteria wasn't open today, and many snack shops and milk tea shops were also closed.
She was too lazy to run out again, anyway, she wasn't very hungry.
Just as the key opened the door, Shen Li's phone rang. She looked at it; it was just an irrelevant spam message.
At night, Shen Li rested at her usual time.
By eleven o'clock, Zhao Zhouyuan returned from outside. After washing up quickly, she went to bed.
However, after Shen Li woke up, she was already sitting under the bed, doing competition problems.
Stable course time, almost every day was the same arrangement.
Time passed very quickly.
Tomorrow was the last day of the National Day holiday, and there wasn't much holiday time left.
During this time, there wasn't much verbal communication between Shen Li and Zhao Zhouyuan.
It wasn't that they were deliberately avoiding each other, it was just that after class, Zhao Zhouyuan went to the study room with Li Xiaoya and Zhang Meiqi, and didn't return until very late at night.
In class, Zhao Zhouyuan went to the classroom very early to occupy a seat.
Her time just happened to miss Shen Li's.
Over the past few days, Shen Li had slept quite peacefully. She would wake up half-asleep at six o'clock on time. Every time, she could see her sitting under the bed, with a small desk lamp on, listening to the math competition explanation video.
Especially, these two days...
She was brushing problems like her life depended on it.
She seemed to care very much about the Olympiad test after the National Day.
Zhang Meiqi and Li Xiaoya came to find Zhao Zhouyuan to go to class at this time as usual.
They discussed in a low voice in the hallway: "Does she not study at all? If she doesn't want to study, why does she still go to class? It would be better to just stay in the dormitory?"
Zhang Meiqi: "Who are you talking about?"
Li Xiaoya: "Who else could it be, Shen Li! Haven't you noticed, every afternoon in class, she's sleeping. I don't understand, does she want to listen, or does she not want to listen!"
Zhao Zhouyuan thought about it, it had indeed been like this during this time. When she went to class, Shen Li was still sleeping, and after class... Shen Li was still sleeping.
She... every time noticed that she wasn't listening to the class at all.
Math was different. If you were slightly distracted and didn't understand in the middle, you almost didn't need to listen to the rest.
Because no matter how much you listened, you wouldn't understand.
That half-sheet of paper, she saw Shen Li was still blank, only writing the first three problems, and they were the answers copied from the blackboard.
Regarding representing the school in the math competition this time, she had the confidence that she would have a good result.
Shen Li walked slowly to class alone and looked at the phone message. It was quiet, as if the phone was broken.
Di Du.
The bedroom door was opened. A middle-aged woman in professional attire, with exquisite makeup, dressed in a capable manner, and with a steady temperament, was holding a five-year-old little boy in her arms, quietly wanting to put the child on the bed.
Xie Qin was sleeping on his stomach, half of his face buried in the pillow, his bangs covering his closed eyes. Suddenly, his voice was hoarse and sleepy: "Take this little bastard and get out!"
The woman patted him through the quilt: "What kind of talk is that, what little bastard, he's your younger brother."
"Baby, Mom has to go to work today, let your brother accompany you, okay."
"Okay!" The five-year-old little baby, whose teeth hadn't grown fully, laughed happily and climbed into Xie Qin's quilt.
He was so small that it made her worry, and this big one didn't make her worry any less.
"Son, what's wrong with you?" Noticing his abnormality during this time, she asked worriedly: "Why are you so listless." ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
