Several female classmates who were close friends occupied a seat for her and waved her to come and sit.
As soon as Lin Mai sat down in the seat reserved for her by her friend, the monitor came.
Inform her that at the end of this month, that is, on December 31st, the freshman class will hold a New Year's Day social dance.
Everyone must participate.
The class monitor asked her not to run away with her schoolbag as soon as school was over.
Lin Mai is not interested in activities such as dancing at all.
But the squad leader has already informed her that it would be bad if she didn't participate.
Students in the 1980s, even the proud Qingdao students, did not have many talents, so there were very few students who could dance ballroom.
If you don't know how to dance ballroom, you won't be able to hold the New Year's Day party.
In order to ensure that the New Year's Day party goes smoothly, the class monitor invited several male and female students from the art school to teach everyone how to dance.
At noon, the roommates ate lunch in a hurry and went to learn to dance happily.
They originally wanted to drag Lin Mai away, but they couldn't pull him alive, so they had to give up.
This year, the school cafeteria sells spiced pig's feet at noon.
Isn’t eating spiced pig’s feet more delicious than learning to dance?
Lin Mai bought one and ate it with gusto, not realizing at all that Gong Xueqin and Du Juan were sitting at a dining table not far away.
Gong Xueqin touched Du Juan with her elbow and motioned her to look at Lin Mai.
Du Juan glanced at Lin Mai and asked inexplicably: "Why do you want me to look at her?"
Gong Xueqin told Du Juan about the scene she saw at the school gate that morning.
He reminded her: "You have to keep a close eye on your boyfriend. I think he is interested in Lin Mai."
Gong Xueqin put a piece of Dongpo meat into his mouth: "What about Linmai?"
"Lin Mai." Gong Xueqin hesitated and said matter-of-factly, "Her husband is handsome and capable.
I think she was not interested in your boyfriend, so she chatted with your boyfriend for a few words perfunctorily, then made an excuse and ran away."
Du Juan said oh, but there was nothing more to say, and Gong Xueqin didn't say much.
Lin Mai left the canteen after finishing lunch.
Gong Xueqin and Du Juan also finished their lunch and followed Lin Mai more than ten meters behind.
Gong Xueqin was a little curious when she saw that Lin Mai didn't go back to the dormitory or go to the auditorium where he learned to dance, but instead walked towards the library:
"Huh? Aren't all the first-year students learning ballroom dancing? Why doesn't Lin Mai go?"
Du Juan stared at Lin Mai's back with a slightly serious expression, but said nothing.
Gong Xueqin suddenly widened his eyes and said, "I remember you asked Shi Lei to have lunch with you at noon, and Shi Lei said he was going to the library to read at noon.
It can't be such a coincidence, right? He and Lin Mai both go to the library to read?"
Du Juan's face became more and more serious.
Gong Xueqin tugged on her sleeves and encouraged, "Let's go over and have a look."
Du Juan remained silent and let Gong Xueqin pull her to follow Lin Mai secretly.
Lin Mai went to the library, found a book on hypnosis and started reading.
After watching for a few minutes, she felt someone walking up to her.
She looked up and saw that it was Shi Lei.
Lin Mai asked politely: "Senior, you want to read a book too."
Shi Lei sat down next to her.
He nodded, pointed at the book in her hand and said, "Do you also like to read books on this subject?"
The smile on Lin Mai's face froze.
She didn't want anyone to know that she was reading a book on this subject, as if her privacy was being spied on.
But reading in the library is not considered privacy.
Otherwise, she would have driven Shi Lei away on the grounds that he was peeping into her privacy.
She smiled dryly and said, "I don't like it very much, I just look at it casually."
After saying that, he stood up and changed his position to sit down.
When Shi Lei saw this, he knew in his heart that Lin Mai was deliberately avoiding him, and his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
He sat there for a moment, mustered up the courage, walked up to Lin Mai, and asked in a low voice: "Did I do something wrong to make you avoid me like this?"
Lin Mai looked at him with some sympathy.
How could she tell him that she was avoiding him because of his girlfriend's wishes?
Tell Shi Lei the truth, and there may be problems with his relationship with Du Juan.
The two of them can break up, but it must not be because of her.
Lin Mai smiled apologetically at Shi Lei: "My professor is a jealous person. I'm afraid that he will be jealous if I have frequent contact with you."
There is no other way, Fang Zhuoran can only take the blame for this.
Lin Mai said with profound meaning: "The flower of love is very delicate. It depends on both parties to take good care of it. I dare not neglect it for a moment."
After that, he lowered his head and read the book.
Shi Lei had no choice but to walk away in embarrassment, found a book on the bookshelf, and sat down casually.
Gong Xueqin, who was hiding behind the bookshelf and pretending to be looking for books, saw her and sighed and said to Du Juan: "Alas! Although Lin Mai walks upright and sits upright.
But she is so beautiful, dressed fashionably, and has a good temperament.
What boy wouldn't be in love with her when he saw her? No wonder your boyfriend is so fascinated by her that he neglects you.
So, when a girl is too beautiful, sometimes it is the original sin."
Du Juan's face was gloomy.
Soon it was time for afternoon classes. Lin Mai restored the books and left the library.
Shi Lei believed what Lin Mai told him. In order to avoid causing trouble to her, he waited for Lin Mai to leave for five or six minutes before leaving.
As soon as he walked out of the library, he saw Du Juan standing outside the library, looking at him eagerly.
Shi Lei said in surprise: "Why are you standing here? The wind is so strong, I'm not afraid of getting sick."
As he spoke, he walked up to Du Juan in two steps, stretched out his hand to hold her hand and test her body temperature.
But Du Juan slapped her away and said sarcastically: "Do you still care that I'm going to blow the whistle?"
"Of course I will care." Shi Lei asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you? You're so angry, as if you've eaten explosives."
Du Juan sneered: "What's wrong with me? My own boyfriend is obsessed with a married woman, you ask me what's wrong!
Let me just say, I want to have a meal with you at noon, but you find a reason to refuse.
It turns out that you wanted to come to the library to express your love to the beautiful woman, but it’s such a pity that she didn’t pay attention to you at all.”
As soon as Shi Lei heard this, he understood that Du Juan had seen all the scenes of him chatting with Lin Mai in the library just now.
He had always been ashamed of his behavior just now, but now that he was being ridiculed by Du Juan, he felt a little embarrassed on his face.
He suppressed his anger and said, "Can you please stop speaking so harshly?
I'm a man, it doesn't matter,
Lin Mai is a woman and already married.
If these words reach her husband's ears, it will cause conflicts between her husband and wife."
Du Juan sarcastically said: "You really care about Lin Mai, you are afraid that she and her husband will have conflicts.
Since you're afraid of conflicts between her and her husband, then don't flirt with her!"
Shi Lei said angrily: "I didn't flirt with her. She and I met in the library. It was purely by chance. You are overthinking it.
Besides, I am an independent person and I don’t even have normal social interactions.
Saying a few words to Lin Mai is like showing your love to her, so don’t be so dirty in your heart, okay!"
Seeing that Shi Lei was angry, Du Juan didn't dare to continue to be tough with him, she pulled his sleeve weakly and said: "Lin Mai is too beautiful, too perfect.
I don’t like you getting too close to her, I feel very insecure, can you please stop getting close to her in the future?”
Shi Lei didn't want to cause any trouble to Lin Mai and had already decided in his mind to have less contact with her.
After listening to Du Juan's words, he nodded.
Du Juan immediately smiled, took his arm and left.
Gong Xueqin, who was hiding not far away and peeking, was quite disappointed.
This time it failed to break the relationship between Du Juan and Shi Lei.
