The campus of Linhai University is very large. It is said that in order to build a beautiful campus, the school diverted water from the surrounding Linjiang River and built an artificial lake. So when walking on the campus, you can occasionally see criss-crossing rivers with water flowing slowly inside.
It continuously exchanges living water from the artificial lake.
At this time, it was still far away from where Zhao Shiyan's dormitory building was. The sparse buildings passing around were either some college or some administrative unit.
It was not too late at this time, there were still students walking in groups on campus, and occasionally couples passed by the two of them holding hands.
The short-haired girl said she wanted to go for a walk with her, so Ling Zhi was naturally happy, but...
"Selfish..."
Ling Zhi pondered this word over and over in his mind. He was a little strange, why would a girl with short hair say that? She also said that she wanted to apologize to herself, since she had never done anything to regret herself.
Is she still worrying about the game just now? They said it wasn't her fault, it was all the fault of that green guy. Or maybe she is worrying about other things that she didn't notice.
However, Ling Zhi was not depressed because the short-haired girl said this. He believed that the girl was not the kind of person who plotted against others' backs, and instead had some expectations.
"What on earth is this girl thinking?"
Ling Zhi was a little impatient, but on the surface he remained calm and walked silently beside the girl without urging her.
The short-haired girl lost her previous liveliness and exuberance, and walked slowly with her head lowered. When she reached a bridge, she suddenly raised her head, the hesitation on her face was gone, and she said seriously:
"Senior, actually, I have never had a real golfing friend. I fell in love with billiards for some special reason when I was very young, and I often pestered my parents to take me to play."
"After I went to college, I played with my roommates a few times, but none of them were interested, so I often practiced alone in the ball room near the school."
"Occasionally I meet some boys who invite me to play with them, but their skills are average and they can't even hold some connecting rods. They may feel embarrassed themselves, so most of them won't take the initiative to invite me to play with them again.
."
"Occasionally I meet some people who are good players and leave their contact information. I rarely go to appointments later. If I want to say why,...it's probably because of the aura you mentioned before. Yes, I don't like it.
Their aura.”
The short-haired girl paused and continued.
"Yes, most of those who dare to take the initiative to invite me are not too boring. They basically want to show off, and they don't feel that they are playing well. In other words, you can feel that they are not playing for fun."
"I have always felt that it would be difficult for me to have a long-term golf partner. I have also been reflecting on myself, whether I am too harsh on others, just playing ball, but in the end I still don't want to
I made do with it until I met my senior."
"Before I met my senior, I had a bad impression of this ball room because of the smoker. After that time, I secretly swore that if I met someone with a bad impression in that ball room again in the future,
Man, I will never go there again.”
"However, my senior gave me a completely different feeling. Although I felt that you were a little careless when you first played, you treated every ball very seriously, and your purpose can be seen in every shot.
Instead of just poking around when there is no chance. At that time, I felt that I was very lucky to meet a boy with a clean aura like my senior."
Ling Zhi listened quietly to the short-haired girl's words without any impatience.
"However, I also had some very dark and selfish thoughts. For example, that time, I asked my senior to join me and Mengyao in the game. In fact, part of it was because I wanted to play with the senior, and the other part was...
yes……"
The girl spoke slower and softer, as if she was losing confidence. But in the end, she still said it slowly:
"I want to use the seniors as a shield to avoid encountering some unreasonable people again."
Hearing this, Ling Zhi suddenly realized. He finally understood where the short-haired girl's heart was, and he hurriedly said:
"How can such a thing be called..."
"This is indeed my selfish intention."
The girl interrupted Ling Zhi and continued on her own:
"Originally, I wanted to hide this selfishness forever. From now on, we can play with each other and just be ordinary golfers."
"That day you changed your mind and suddenly decided to come to my game with Mengyao. You don't know how happy I am."
"However, today's conflict made me realize that my own selfishness has brought trouble to senior. Although senior, you may not mind playing in that ball room again, but that smoker may not keep his promise. So if we meet again
When it comes to him, you will definitely not be at peace with each other. All this is because of my willfulness."
"so."
The short-haired girl stopped, turned to Ling Zhi, and continued:
"I must apologize to the senior, I'm sorry, please forgive me."
The short-haired girl wanted to bend down and bow to apologize. Ling Zhi subconsciously wanted to hold her shoulders, but suddenly realized that there was something in both hands.
Ling Zhi hurriedly put the pole box on the ground, put the book on the pole box, stood up and quickly helped the girl's shoulders.
Ling Zhi didn't mean to blame the girl, but he felt very guilty.
All this time, he had failed to try to think about the difficulties she faced from the girl's perspective, and had underestimated her popularity as a woman in the ball room.
Yes, that's right. An outstanding girl like her is a light wherever she goes. How could no one pay attention to her? That's why some of the people who look at her have bad intentions.
Easy to understand.
When the short-haired girl saw Ling Zhi helping her up, she slowly raised her head and whispered with twinkling eyes:
"Senior, aren't you willing to play ball with me anymore?"
Ling Zhi's thoughts returned and he smelled the scent of the short-haired girl's hair when she bent over. He let go of the girl's shoulders and said quickly:
"No, how is that possible? I'm just a little guilty for not noticing what you were thinking. It's not your fault, it's all that green guy's fault. You don't have to worry about causing any trouble to me. After all, we both proposed the competition together.
Yes, I am also responsible for the final conflict."
The girl was a little anxious and was about to speak, but Ling Zhi immediately answered:
"I know you have your persistence, otherwise you wouldn't have said the word 'apology' so solemnly. You said you used me as a shield, and I understand it. I don't blame you for this. Don't worry.
.And, rather..."
When the girl saw that Ling Zhi responded to her solemnly, she felt relieved, but when she saw that Ling Zhi hesitated to speak, she wondered:
"Rather, what's wrong, senior?"
Ling Zhi also hesitated, but the short-haired girl's firm apology made him make up his mind. He said:
"It would be better to say that I also have my own selfish motives."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's solemn expression disappeared in an instant, and she curved her mouth, replacing it with a sly expression. Perhaps because she felt relaxed after confessing her heart, the short-haired girl seemed to have no scruples, and turned to
He grabbed Ling Zhi's arm, swayed it around, and said:
"Oh? Does senior also have selfish motives? What is it? What is it? Come on, tell me. Senior, you can't lie. I've said it, but you have to say it. That's unfair! Senior, just say it boldly, I
I promise I won’t laugh at you, haha!..."
Ling Zhi suddenly had the illusion that he had a sister next door.
Although the short-haired girl has always given him the impression of being sunny and cheerful, and she occasionally has her own stubbornness. But today he realized that she also has a cold side when it comes to people she doesn't trust, and she also hides a lot of troubles.
Talk to the people around you. But what's going on with this cute trend now? Has she ever shown this side to others?
The short-haired girl realized that she might have knocked Ling Zhi out, so she quickly stopped, covered her mouth and explained with a smile:
"I'm sorry, senior, I went too far. However, although senior said that you also have your own selfish motives, I don't feel lost at all. On the contrary, I am a little happy. So, can you tell me? Senior?"
Looking at the girl's expectant eyes, Ling Zhi smiled and said slowly:
"It is said that on the table, the strong only like to fight with the strong. This sentence is what I said. I did approach you with a happy attitude at the beginning, because you played the ball well, so I
I really want to be a long-term golf partner with you, but..."
Ling Zhi hesitated for a moment, then organized his words and said:
"But then, I got greedy. I felt that chatting and getting along with you was very pleasant. I didn't want to enjoy this happiness alone. I also wanted to make you happy. So, I wanted to... think..."
Under the girl's gaze, Ling Zhi felt that there was no possibility of escaping anymore. He sighed and said:
"I want to be a true friend with you, not just a golfer. Sometimes when you have troubles, you can tell me. Although I may not be able to help, having one more person to talk to should make you feel better.
Of course, if there is a time when my help is really needed, as long as it is within my ability, I will spare no effort...to...help..."
Ling Zhi spoke slower and slower, because he saw that the short-haired girl next to him had covered her mouth and puffed up her cheeks, as if she couldn't bear to smile immediately.
Ling Zhi suddenly wanted to cover his face. He felt that if he said such embarrassing words, he would not be able to escape the fate of being laughed at!
However, the girl seemed to be able to hold back her smile this time. She fanned her lips with her hand as a fan and said:
"Sorry, senior, I almost couldn't hold it back. I forgot if I told you before, you are very cute when you say these words seriously, haha..."
After all, the girl couldn't hold back her smile and leaned over to laugh. Ling Zhi was a little helpless, was he so ignorant of himself? But looking at the short-haired girl laughing wildly, he didn't feel any disgust, and the soft place in his heart once again
Being touched, the desire to freeze time at this moment became stronger.
When the girl calmed down, she put away all her smiles and said solemnly to Ling Zhi:
"First of all, thank you, senior. Although I don't think I'm that capable, you said it was a pleasure getting along and chatting with me. I'm very happy."
"Secondly, you said you also want me to be happy, but I have always been happy since I met senior. Senior, you don't need to do anything else, as long as we are like before. So, I accept your selfishness.
, I am willing to be a true friend with you."
The short-haired girl looked at Ling Zhi with a smile.
Ling Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling very happy in his heart. He was about to say something like thanking her for being friends with him, when he saw the short-haired girl once again showed a sly expression, and ran up to Ling Zhi in a strange way, walking backwards and said:
"But senior, I always thought that we have been friends for a long time. So looking at your serious look, I thought you were going to say something more extraordinary, haha..."
After saying that, the short-haired girl smiled, turned around, opened her arms and ran out, leaving Ling Zhi alone and disheveled in the wind.
From time to time, I see the girl turning around and waving to Ling Zhi:
"Come on, senior, don't be dumbfounded."
Ling Zhi smiled and shook his head, picked up the rod box and book on the ground, and followed quickly.
