In this nearly five years of love, four years of secret love and half a year of hard pursuit, finally there is a response.
Lin Jiayin felt that she hadn't given up, and pursued Shen Zhan bravely and persistently. From the indifference at the beginning to the unreal to the embrace she thought was a dream, the emotional balance between the two began to tilt in her direction .
Even though the relationship may still be unequal, she still likes him more than he likes her, she is still very happy, very happy, so happy that she suddenly cried.
Either sad, or happy, weeping with joy.
Lin Jiayin huddled in his arms, and secretly wiped away her tears, but she couldn't finish it anyway. She slowly raised her hand, careful not to touch Shen Zhan, and covered her mouth to cover her choking voice.
She sniffed, rubbed her head into his arms, and pressed her forehead against his warm chest.
Shen Zhan hugged her back and felt her hands clenched a little bit, making her cling to him tightly.
"Going to sleep." He whispered.
Lin Jiayin didn't dare to answer, and Shen Zhan would hear it with a crying tone when she spoke. She didn't want Shen Zhan to know that she was crying.
She nodded in a small arc, closed her eyes, and the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes flowed across her cheeks and into the corners of her mouth, with a faint salty taste.
After a while, Shen Zhan felt that holding her like this might make her uncomfortable and unable to sleep, so he let go of his arms, lay flat, and then supported her waist to move up.
Inadvertently stroking her hair wet with tears and sticking to her cheeks, Shen Zhan reached out to turn on the desk lamp and sat up.
"Why are you crying?"
Lin Jiayin's back was arched, her whole face was buried in the bed sheet, her messy long hair was spread out to cover half of her face, her eyes were closed and her hands were covering her mouth, and she sobbed briefly when she heard Shen Zhan's question It was a hurried, depressing voice that could not be restrained no matter how hard it was.
"Stop crying, okay?" Shen Zhan picked up her shoulders and put her on his stomach.
Lin Jiayin buried her face in his lap, her shoulders trembling with the frequency of crying.
"What's wrong?" Shen Zhan gently touched her back.
Lin Jiayin didn't speak, she was crying in a low voice.
Tears wet his pants, Shen Zhan lifted her entire upper body, Lin Jiayin frantically touched her tears.
"Is it because of Tao Mo?" Shen Zhan asked.
After Lin Jiayin sucked her nose twice, she nodded.
For some reason, she just didn't want Shen Zhan to know that it was because of him that she was crying.
She didn't think it was necessary or needed. It was her own business to like him all the time, and how much she liked him was also her own business.
If Shen Zhan knew, he might care more about her and like her more, but when he thought that this caring and liking came from her dedication, Lin Jiayin would feel sad and sad.
"No one in the world has a constant relationship with anyone, from unfamiliarity to intimacy, from intimacy to unfamiliarity. You will meet many people along the way, and you will always be separated from some people, and you will always be separated from others. When meeting some people, everyone is going to take a new path." Shen Zhan brushed off her hair and wiped away the tears on her face, "Don't be sad, okay?"
Lin Jiayin nodded.
"In the past, thank her for walking with you for a while, but in the days after that, everyone will go their own way. If we are no longer friends, we should treat them as strangers." Shen Zhan hugged her.
Lin Jiayin wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, and after a moment of silence, she raised her head: "What about you? Are you passing by too?"
"Me too," Shen Zhan said, "You are the only one who walks this road in life."
"So you will always be separated from me, right?" Lin Jiayin asked.
"Well, we just parted ways after reaching the end," he said, "I'll lead you along."
Lin Jiayin choked up and asked, "Where is the end?"
"Many years later, the average life expectancy of Chinese people will be seventy-two years old." Shen Zhan hugged her hand tightly in his arms.
Lin Jiayin looked into his eyes, tears were still falling, "It's a lifetime, right?"
"It's a lifetime." Shen Zhan put his chin on her shoulder and hugged her quietly.
Lin Jiayin didn't know how she fell asleep, it seemed that she fell asleep in Shen Zhan's arms, crying and falling asleep.
When I woke up, it was just dawn, and the light came in through the gaps in the ventilated windows, adding a few beams of light to the dark room.
Shen Zhan was still sleeping with his eyes closed and his chin resting on her forehead. Lin Jiayin didn't dare to act rashly, not even moving the arm he was holding, for fear that he, who was sleeping so peacefully, would be woken up.
She could only lift her eyeballs up to see the faint sunlight shining on his side face.
As soon as Shen Zhan opened his eyes, it was Lin Jiayin. This feeling made him very comfortable, indescribably comfortable, as warm and soft as the first ray of sunlight entering his eyes in the morning.
"Did I wake you up?" Lin Jiayin blinked her swollen eyelids with difficulty.
Shen Zhan hummed softly, rubbed his chin against her head, and put his hands on her waist.
Lin Jiayin said, "Sleep a little longer, it's still early."
Shen Zhan looked at her for a while and closed his eyes, then opened them again after a while.
"Can't sleep anymore," he said.
"Huh?" Lin Jiayin moved to the side.
With this movement, Shen Zhan felt that his arm, which had been pressed for a long time, was numb from his shoulder to his fingers.
"Pressing you?" Lin Jiayin sat up straight away.
Shen Zhan slowly withdrew his hand, and it took a while before he recovered.
"It's only 7 o'clock now." Lin Jiayin went to check the mobile phone on the bedside table, "You can lie down for a while."
"Don't lie down anymore." Shen Zhan said.
Lin Jiayin turned her head, "Are you up?"
Shen Zhan smiled, grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms, then turned over and pressed her under him.
The mouth was pressed up, kissing and biting, Lin Jiayin almost couldn't breathe.
She leaned against the head of the bed to adjust her breathing.
Shen Zhan was also leaning against the head of the bed, with one leg stretched out, the other knee bent lazily, hugging the pillow lazily.
The sun became stronger, and the few beams of sunlight that came in turned from light yellow to warm orange.
The beam of light falling on Shen Zhan's face outlined his smooth and soft facial lines, high nose bridge, slightly parted lips, and raised chin... just like a beautiful boy who came out of a cartoon.
Lin Jiayin looked over, and Shen Zhan also tilted his head slightly.
Looking at each other, Shen Zhan frowned, and looked down subconsciously.
Lin Jiayin also followed his gaze.
The thin quilt had already fallen to the bottom of the bed during the kiss just now.
Shen Zhan's leg facing her was stretched out, and it was obvious that some indescribable part of the fabric was propped up.
Lin Jiayin was taken aback.
"It's like this when I just wake up in the morning." Shen Zhan put down the other leg as well.
It's more obvious now.
"What..." Lin Jiayin continued to watch.
"It'll be down in a while," he said.
"Oh." Lin Jiayin nodded.
"You'll never get down if you stare like this," he added.
"I... I'm going to wash my face first!" Lin Jiayin jumped off the bed, almost fell, and stumbled out of the bedroom as if fleeing for her life.
Because Lin Jiayin spent too long being an ostrich in the bathroom, Shen Zhan drove directly to school. When getting off the car, Shen Zhan asked her: "What class is this morning?"
Lin Jiayin opened the car door: "One section."
"Oh, then come to experiment after class, and have lunch together at noon." He said.
"Okay, I'll come over after class." Lin Jiayin nodded, one leg had already stepped out of the car door.
Shen Zhan called her to stop: "Wait."
"What?" She turned around.
"Kiss one." Shen Zhan pointed to his cheek, "Here."
Lin Jiayin leaned over and kissed her, Shen Zhan rubbed her hair, "Go."
Today was a skill class. Lin Jiayin put away her bag and went to the bathroom with her practice clothes. On the way, she met Tao Mo, and the two passed each other.
Lin Jiayin saw that her eyes were swollen, and she must have cried all night because they were more swollen than last time.
She didn't speak, just walked past her with her head down.
Lin Jiayin didn't speak, nor did she look back.
After changing into practice clothes and entering the dance studio, the skill teacher hadn't come yet, so everyone chatted and chatted.
In the past, she and Tao Mo would stand in the back corner and talk at this time.
Lin Jiayin looked obliquely at the empty corner ahead, and stood there for two seconds before moving forward.
In fact, when she came out of the Academic Affairs Office, all she could think about was that she didn't want to see Tao Mo again.
But now she is in a calm mood. I don't know if it's because of what Shen Zhan said to her yesterday. Anyway, she doesn't feel much, and she doesn't blame her anymore, and she won't play with her anymore.
When Zhang Zhihan walked into the classroom carrying the new G family bag, everyone looked over and started whispering after two seconds of silence, looking back and forth at Lin Jiayin, Tao Mo and Zhang Zhihan.
Tao Mo stood in the front corner, alone, the furthest diagonal distance from Lin Jiayin.
Zhang Zhihan glanced sideways at the past, and then told the people around what happened last night.
In fact, everyone knows that they all live on the same floor of a dormitory building, and many people even watched the scene with their own eyes.
But he still listened to Zhang Zhihan's narration happily, asking some detailed questions from time to time, and then echoed.
"Tsk, why is this kind of person?"
"How could she do that?"
blah blah blah...
"Are you all here? Warm up first when you're all here." The skill teacher came in and shouted.
Everyone broke up in a rush, and each found a partner to open each other's hips, step on the insteps, and pull the waist...
The dormitory for dance majors is for two people, and the partners are all roommates.
Lin Jiayin stood in place, and Tao Mo also stood in place.
"What are you two doing? Everyone has made a group, go over there... There is still an empty seat over there." The teacher pointed to the corner where there was no one.
Lin Jiayin walked over, but Tao Mo didn't move.
"What are you doing!" The skill teacher was surprised.
Everyone turned their eyes away.
After a while, Tao Mo walked over slowly.
"Hurry up! Then who... Liu Nana! Don't let the water go! Step on it!" The teacher walked over and stepped on the thigh of the girl lying on the ground mercilessly.
The girl groaned in pain.
"Let me go first." Lin Jiayin spoke first.
Tao Mo nodded.
In the following time, Lin Jiayin behaved normally, neither too indifferent nor particularly enthusiastic. Just like she treats other students.
"Lin Jia... Sister Lin, I..." After stepping on her feet, Tao Mo stood beside her.
Lin Jiayin asked, "What?"
"I..." Tao Mo pursed her lower lip.
"Lin Jiayin, Tao Mo, are you finished yet?" the teacher shouted, "Hurry up if you haven't finished!"
Lin Jiayin looked at the teacher and nodded.
After Tao Mo was silent for a while, she was discouraged and said, "Let's go."
"Brother? Boss? Immortal? Are you really not going!" Lin Qingxuan yelled at him lying on the table.
Shen Zhan nestled in the lazy chair, typing on the keyboard, without even looking at him.
"Father!" Lin Qingxuan shouted.
After pausing his fingers, Shen Zhan turned his head and said, "Get lost."
"You go, really, it's so fun." Lin Qingxuan said, "If you don't go, Dean Cheng will definitely look for you, and our school didn't win the first place in the information security competition last year, so... it's quite embarrassing."
Shen Zhan glanced at Fu Yanzhou, whose face was about to be pasted on the screen, and Lu Zhicheng, who was concentrating on drawing circuit diagrams, "The three of you are enough."
"Don't worry, I've inquired about it. University B is still competing with the team that won the first place last year." Lin Qingxuan said.
"Be more confident." Shen Zhan patted him on the shoulder.
Lin Qingxuan said: "I am quite confident in myself. After all, I am so smart, but... but I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"
Last year, his team lost to the must-win team of University B, mainly because the other two players were not strong enough.
"Oh." Shen Zhan turned his head and continued typing on the keyboard.
He is working on the development of a chip. This chip is favored by a well-known domestic technology company and has the idea of investing in SZ.
"Why don't you go?" Lin Qingxuan was crying.
Shen Zhan replied: "Waste of time."
"..."
Lin Qingxuan was a little speechless.
However, the information security confrontation competition is a waste of time, and it is still this kind of national college competition.
The competition is divided into two stages: online competition and offline competition. The online competition is an individual challenge competition, which adopts the mode of online problem-solving and clearance challenge, which is a bit like climbing a ladder, while the offline competition is conducted by the students in the online competition. live confrontation.
This competition cycle will take a long time, and the offline competition will last for several days.
"Go ahead." Lin Qingxuan said.
Shen Zhan ignored him.
"You will get it if you go first, the gold medal, what an honor." Lin Qingxuan persuaded him.
"I don't need it." Shen Zhan said.
Lin Qingxuan still wanted to say something to persuade him, but Shen Zhan really didn't need it. He had won too many awards, and the exaggeration was enough for two trucks.
"Hey, then I can only go with Lu Zhicheng and Fu Yanzhou." Lin Qingxuan pouted.
Lu Zhicheng is okay, Fu Yanzhou's hardware is quite strong, but he's not very good at information security... Well, he thinks it's very weak.
Lu Zhicheng suddenly turned his head: "This competition is sponsored by Ming Fai Technology."
"Minghui Technology?" Lin Qingxuan thought for a while, then looked at Shen Zhan: "Hey, is it the technology company that has investment plans?"
Shen Zhan hummed.
"Fuck, awesome." Lu Zhicheng's jaw dropped when he heard the conversation between Lin Qingxuan and Shen Zhan.
Ming Fai Technology is one of the top 500 companies in the world, so they would consider investing in a small company just founded by students with only 500,000 registered capital.
"It is said that they give offers based on the performance of the participating students." Lu Zhicheng said a little excitedly, and he looked at Shen Zhan, "You go, leave a good impression on Minghui, the investment is easier to get... and won the gold medal, probably next year I don’t have to worry about spring recruits, I heard from the previous seniors that Hui gave 200,000 in the first year.”
"Is it okay to be a little bit better." Lin Qingxuan looked at him, "You are fascinated by only 200,000 yuan."
"I'm different from you. I'm quite content with 200,000 yuan. After working for two years, I can buy a big house in the center of our county, and maybe I can buy a car worth tens of thousands more." Lu Zhi Enlightened.
"It's better to hang out with our big brother Shen and keep your seven-figure figure for a year." Lin Qingxuan said proudly.
"I don't have the money to invest in SZ, besides... besides..." Lu Zhicheng looked at Shen Zhan.
"The last project was done very well." Shen Zhan said suddenly.
"Really? I don't think the logical calculation part is rigorous enough, but I don't have time. If you give me two more days, I can do better." Lu Zhicheng said.
"Is SZ interested?" Shen Zhan asked him.
"Ah?" Lu Zhicheng hesitated for a while and then said, "Can you...?"
"I can't guarantee that you will have seven figures a year. Now the domestic area is developing rapidly, with rapid replacement, competition is very exciting, and the level of technology is also reaching a peak. It is difficult to make technological breakthroughs and take the lead in the entire field." Shen Zhan said: "But what I can guarantee is that as long as I am still in SZ, I will keep going."
After Lin Qingxuan looked left and right, he clapped his hands: "Applause! Awesome! Oh oh oh oh!"
"Shut up." Shen Zhan said.
Lu Zhicheng squeezed his fist, "Shen Zhan, I'll do it with you!"
"Those who didn't know thought you were going to blow up the bunker with Shen Zhan." Lin Qingxuan stood aside and laughed.
Lu Zhicheng also laughed, "I'll blow up the bunker too."
"Is Fu Yanzhou here?" He asked.
Lin Qingxuan glanced at the person who was wearing earphones and almost got into the densely packed technical documents on the computer screen, shrugged, "The second generation of high-ranking officials, what kind of business."
"Oh." Lu Zhicheng didn't expect that Fu Yanzhou, who dressed so casually and behaved so casually, turned out to be the second-generation official.
Yes, most of the students in Huaqing University have good families, very few of them are like him.
Lin Qingxuan saw that his smile was a little bit bitter, and comforted him with a long sigh: "Maybe you were a rich man in your previous life, or you will be a governor in your next life... Don't pay too much attention to such things, besides, you can still become a rich man in this life." The opportunity of the rich generation, we may be beggars in the next life." He looked at Shen Zhan who was typing on the keyboard, "Boss, are you right?"
"It makes sense." Shen Zhan commented lightly.
Lu Zhicheng smiled, continued to touch the mouse and worked harder to draw the circuit diagram.
Lin Jiayin received a call halfway through the laboratory building.
It's Uncle Dahai calling.
"Xiaoyin, don't forget your birthday this Saturday, you forgot last year." Uncle Dahai said.
"I haven't forgotten, I remember it clearly, and I wrote it in the memo." Lin Jiayin said.
"That's good, bring your classmates over for barbecue on Saturday. Uncle has cleared all the big tables upstairs."
"Is it a big table?"
"That's right, it's the big round table upstairs that can seat a dozen people."
"...unusable."
"Why can't you use it? Didn't you say that you have a good relationship with your classmates last time? Please come over for a barbecue!"
Lin Jiayin was silent for a while.
"Maybe... maybe just bring one person."
"Ah? Just bring Tao Mo?" Uncle Dahai said, "Bring a few more classmates and call them if you have a good relationship. Uncle Dahai's barbecue here is enough."
Lin Jiayin didn't know how to answer.
Uncle Dahai always thought that she got along well with her classmates and had many friends, but there was only one Tao Mo.
No, now Tao Mo is not a friend either.
A female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Thirty yuan and eighty cents, I wiped off the change for you, and it counts as thirty yuan for you."
"That's it, it's settled. Bring a few more classmates. I'm shopping for vegetables, so I'll hang up first," said Uncle Dahai.
"it is good."
Lin Jiayin hung up the phone and continued walking, worrying all the way to the door of the laboratory, frowning and thinking about where to ask someone to eat barbecue.
She pushed open the anti-theft door that said "Do not knock at your own risk", and Lin Qingxuan was the first to see her, "Oh, sister Lin is here."
Lin Jiayin smiled at him.
Shen Zhan turned his head, "Come and sit."
Lin Jiayin walked over and sat down beside him.
"Play by yourself for a while, and we'll have dinner in half an hour." Shen Zhan said.
Lin Jiayin nodded: "You can do your work."
Lin Qingxuan clicked his tongue: "I'm so sour."
"You're so sour." Shen Zhan spit out three words lightly.
"Fuck...you have changed, the gods have become mortals." Lin Qingxuan said.
Shen Zhan ignored him, Lin Qingxuan returned to his seat and continued to work.
"That... I was wrong last time." Lu Zhicheng walked over and bowed to her, "I'm sorry."
Lin Jiayin was frightened, stood up abruptly, and then bowed to him after being taken aback, "I'm sorry."
In fact, afterward, she reflected that she was too impulsive, and she felt very sorry.
"It's the first time I've seen people apologize to each other like this." Lin Qingxuan looked on in a daze.
"Let me treat you to dinner." Lin Jiayin said.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhan stopped typing on the keyboard, and Lu Zhicheng was also dumbfounded.
"I invite you to eat." Lu Zhicheng said hastily.
"No, I invite you to dinner." Lin Jiayin looked at Lin Qingxuan and then at Fu Yanzhou, "There is also Xiaomei."
"Ah? Why?" Lin Qingxuan asked.
Lin Jiayin scratched her head, and said a little embarrassedly: "My uncle asked me to treat my classmates to dinner... I couldn't find anyone... He thought I had many good friends."
"Invite your classmates to dinner for no reason?" Lin Qingxuan was surprised.
Shen Zhan glanced at Lin Jiayin: "Her birthday."
"That's it." Lin Qingxuan understood, "Being a friend?"
Lin Jiayin nodded helplessly.
Lin Qingxuan raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "No."
"It doesn't matter if you don't go." Lin Jiayin pursed her lips.
Lin Qingxuan looked at Shen Zhan and threatened bluntly: "Think about the information security competition."
"Okay." Shen Zhan nodded without hesitation.
Lin Qingxuan snorted, "In the future, if you have anything to do, you can go directly to Sister Lin."
Shen Zhan glanced at him and said lazily, "Try."
