On the third day of the Lunar New Year, all the relatives who were due to visit had been visited, and Ling Zhi finally had time to sleep in.
Today, my mother went to work and there was no one to rush me, so Ling Zhi slept until 12 noon, then got up and cooked something for himself.
Two days ago, Zhao Shiyan and Li Mengyao also arrived home successfully, which made Ling Zhi completely relieved.
However, Zhao Shiyan kept complaining to himself, saying that he suspected that he was not his mother's biological child. Especially when he brought Mengyao back this time, Wei Hong really seemed to regard her as his own daughter, entertaining her with delicious food and drinks, which made Zhao Shiyan feel a little bit nervous.
Jealous.
Ling Zhi comforted her with a few words of laughter and tears, thinking that this was normal, other people's children were always the best, even his biological daughter could not compare.
Lunch was done, and after Ling Zhi settled the battle like a storm, he was ready to start his pleasant afternoon, but at this moment, he received a call:
"Hello? Nephew, what are you doing at home recently?"
Ling Zhi got angry when he heard that. Who are you calling "big nephew"? I'm not familiar with you!
"What else can you do? Just lie down! What about you? Are you still taking takeout orders?"
"What order are you running? You won't let me take a break during this rare holiday? Are you free today? Do you want to come out and play two rounds?"
"Okay! What about the old place?"
"Well, see you at the same place!"
After hanging up the phone, Lexus was ready to put on his clothes and go out.
The person calling him was his elementary school classmate Long Qiaoxin. Every Chinese New Year, the two of them would find opportunities to get together.
After Long Qiaoxin graduated from high school, he had no choice but to continue studying. He couldn't find a good job, so he just started delivering food. He did this for 8 years.
Ever since Ling Zhi went to college, Long Qiaoxin had not contacted Ling Zhi very often. The only few times he contacted Ling Zhi, Long Qiaoxin took the initiative to contact Ling Zhi. Ling Zhi rarely approached him.
This is not because Ling Zhi is heartless, but as we grow older, everyone has embarked on their own path. It would be fine if they usually work in the same city, but if they don't, then gradually there will be few common languages.
.
Furthermore, it's not like Ling Zhi hasn't told Long Qiaoxin about his daily life as a graduate student. Perhaps it's because the life of a graduate student is too far away from him, so his interests are also average. Slowly, Ling Zhi stopped sharing these things with him.
.
Although we no longer have the same language in common, our previous friendship is still there, so it’s okay to have an occasional ball date during the holidays.
20 minutes later, Lexus rode his bike to the place where he and Long Qiaoxin often played ball.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, there were still many people playing in the ball room. Ling Zhi took a closer look and found that Long Qiaoxin had occupied a table in the corner of the ball room. He was secretly glad that the old man came earlier, otherwise he would not have had to play.
.
"Hey! Man! Long time no see!"
Long Qiaoxin turned around and saw that it was Ling Zhi. He was overjoyed and gave Ling Zhi a big hug:
"Big nephew! We miss you so much!"
Ling Zhi pushed him away angrily. He didn't think this guy deserved a beating before, but since he got used to another person calling him "big nephew", he always felt that it was so inappropriate for Long Qiao to come up with this nickname.
accurate!
"Okay, stop being poor, come on, let's start... eh? Old Qiao, this can't be... your girlfriend!"
Only then did Ling Zhi notice a girl sitting on the chair next to her, scrolling through her mobile phone. The location where they were playing was very remote. Anyone who could sit next to this table must have an unusual relationship with Long Qiaoxin!
The girl seemed to have heard Ling Zhi's question. She raised her head, smiled and said hello:
"Hello, Lexus."
Ling Zhi was a little confused, why did she greet her as if she knew him, but he couldn't recognize her?
Just when Ling Zhi was recalling where he might have seen her, Long Qiaoxin sat next to the girl and hugged her waist:
"How's it going, Ling Zhi? Do you still recognize her? Don't tell me that you've even forgotten your old classmate."
After Lao Qiao's reminder, Ling Zhi immediately narrowed down the search scope in his mind and quickly came up with the answer:
"Hey! Qin Juan! Is that you? I almost didn't recognize you! The girl's 18th transformation, you are really different from when you were in elementary school!"
"We haven't seen each other for a few years. Isn't it normal to be different? You are also very different. I feel that you are much more mature than before. I still remember that you were very sensitive at that time. When others made fun of you, you would
At once......"
"Uh, no, no, no, don't talk about my dark history in front of Lao Qiao. But I'm really surprised. I thought you were a beauty in the class back then, but you ended up with Lao Qiao. No matter what
Say, congratulations!"
Qin Juan smiled faintly and said nothing. Long Qiaoxin looked proud, and he couldn't help but pinch the flesh of Qin Juan's waist.
He didn't know if it was Ling Zhi's misunderstanding, but he felt Qin Juan frowned slightly at that moment.
Hey, this old Qiao really doesn't know how to show mercy to others. Let's talk about him in private later.
Next, Ling Zhi and Long Qiaoxin finally started the main film, and the two began to chat while playing.
"By the way, brother, how many more years do you have until you graduate?"
Long Qiaoxin asked casually.
"Me? It's still early! I applied for a combined master's and doctoral degree program last semester, and there's really no guarantee that I will be able to graduate successfully."
"What? Are you going to study for a Ph.D. again? Are you really planning to read this book to the end?"
"Aren't I just trying to cross the river by feeling for stones? There are many things that you won't know if you can do without trying."
"That's true, but I really think you don't need to study any more. Just find a job and make money! Wouldn't it be nice to come back to our Ancheng to retire after making enough money? Damn it! You are so good at this!
As the year has passed, you have gained a lot!"
"Isn't that right? After all, I also won an amateur championship in Huacheng. It's a bit of progress after all."
"What did you say?"
"..."
The two people who reunited after a long separation had a pleasant conversation. Although they had different opinions on some things, they generally respected each other's choices.
But what Ling Zhi didn't notice was that when he mentioned the words "Master's and Ph.D.", Qin Juan, who was sitting next to him, suddenly raised his head, but in order to cover up her strangeness, she quickly recovered
He didn't look like he was checking his phone before, but he seemed a little careless.
The afternoon passed quickly, and Qin Juan also came up to play a few shots. That was because Ling Zhi played so well that it made Long Qiaoxin doubt his life. If he didn't let his girlfriend come to the rescue, Long Qiaoxin would be afraid.
He was going to announce his retirement from football on the spot!
After the fight, Ling Zhi casually found an excuse to go home. He didn't want to be a light bulb next.
Long Qiaoxin also wanted to have dinner with Qin Juan alone, so he didn't stay with Ling Zhi, saying that he would invite him out to eat next time.
After returning home, Ling Zhi cooked something to eat. When he was planning to have a video call with Zhao Shiyan while eating, he received a friend request from Qin Juan.
Ling Zhi was a little surprised. He had never seen Qin Juan since elementary school. Although he kept her contact information in the classmate list when he graduated, he never tried to add her.
At that time, Qin Juan was a popular person in the class. She could only ask others to leave her contact information.
So how did she know her contact information? Could it be that Lao Qiao told her?
Full of questions, Ling Zhi chose to accept Qin Juan's friend request.
"Hello, Ling Zhi, I got your WeChat account from Long Qiaoxin, and I want to ask you some questions."
"Was it difficult for you to take the postgraduate entrance examination to Huacheng University?"
