Chapter 72 Psychosis

They walked all the way to the gate of No. 3 Middle School. Lin Jing let him go, trotted to the guard room, and knocked on the glass.

The old man in the duty room didn't open the window, but opened the door and walked out and said, "What's the matter?"

"Uncle Wang, do you still remember me?"

"Oh, I remember, you go to school here. School doesn't start until tomorrow, why are you here so early?"

"I've transferred to another school. Can I go in and take a look?"

"That won't do. The leader has stipulated that no one can be allowed in after the door is closed. You should wait until tomorrow."

"Uncle, please, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know how long it will take for me to come back next time, please open the door..."

Under Lin Jing's soft and hard persuasion, the usually difficult-to-talk-to security guard finally opened the lock of the small door.

"Just go for a walk and be out in ten minutes."

The old man took a bag of melon seeds with a smile, and when he saw Xu Mingyuan following behind him, he reminded him with a stern face.

"Okay, okay, I'll be out in five minutes."

Seeing that the old man had given in, Lin Jing quickly pulled Xu Mingyuan and hurried inside.

Seeing the young couple holding hands as soon as they entered the school gate, Uncle Wang smiled and shook his head, adding hot water to the teacup.

Young people are still full of energy. They want to walk around the campus in the middle of winter. But Uncle Wang is no longer surprised by such things.

The two of them strolled aimlessly and finally came to the edge of the playground.

"Remember this? We used to stay here for a long time."

Lin Jing pointed to two stools in the corner, pulled him over, and swept away a layer of fallen snow with her sleeves.

This is the grandstand of No. 3 Middle School, with rows of plastic seats on the concrete steps.

It is the rostrum for the flag-raising ceremony on Mondays and is also a place for students to rest on other days.

"It's so cold."

As soon as Lin Jing sat down, she frowned and looked at Xu Mingyuan.

"Come, sit on my lap."

Xu Mingyuan patted his thigh and pretended to pull her.

"Hehe, go away. It's been so long since we last met, and you've learned to make jokes."

Lin Jing gently patted Xu Mingyuan's hand away.

"What was I like before?"

"Hmm..." Lin Jing rested her chin on her hand and said softly, "You're stupid, you want to save face so much, sometimes you blush but pretend you don't care. I want to laugh every time, but I hold it back."

"Hey, everyone has an innocent side, don't you?"

Xu Mingyuan smiled, as if he had returned to the good old days.

"Me? I'm fine. I'm not as shy as you."

"What a pity! I still prefer girls who blush." ​​Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"No wonder you care so much about Tao Shuxin. I would blush too. How about you take a look?"

Lin Jing's peach-like eyes looked at him, sparkling in the dark night.

However, only the street lights in the distance were on, and when the light reached here, only a faint outline could be seen, and her face could not be seen clearly.

"You're not pretending. How can you stare at someone when you're blushing?"

"I'm really embarrassed, but you don't believe me when I tell you. Hey, are you two dating?"

"We are still good classmates."

"Hehe, does that mean I still have a chance?"

"The chances are slim. My grades aren't as good as yours, so I can't go to the same university as you."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, it's just a long-distance relationship." Lin Jing said with a smile.

"My grades weren't as good as hers, but she tried every way to help me improve them. I feel like if that day came, she would rather fail the exam."

"It feels useless." Lin Jing chuckled.

"See, this is the difference. The gap between actual actions and words is too big. There is no way to make up for it."

"You know what? I actually like you in my heart."

Lin Jing sighed softly.

"Really?" Xu Mingyuan was surprised.

"Of course. I've been with you for most of the semester. If I didn't like you, I'd be doing a disservice to my legs."

Lin Jing stretched out her long legs and placed them on the seat on the steps.

"If you like someone, but you can completely cut off contact, isn't your love a bit hypocritical?"

"Are you angry?" Lin Jing asked, turning her head.

"Guess." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"I don't know." Lin Jing shook her head. "I've thought of many ways to say goodbye, happy, sad, angry. I've thought of ways to deal with them all, but I didn't expect you to push me away."

"You are quite scheming."

"How can you say that about a girl?" Lin Jing laughed, "I just want to do everything better."

"Tell me, what on earth do you want from me?"

Xu Mingyuan had no shortage of pretty women along the way. In fact, one in a hundred was already pretty good, but when the base number was enlarged, looks were no longer a scarce resource, but money in hand was.

When he was young and promising, he still thought he was charming, but as he saw more, he naturally knew the truth.

But it is rare to find a girl like Lin Jing who is both beautiful and smart.

For Xu Mingyuan, whose spiritual needs far outweigh his material needs, having such a girl actively pursuing him greatly satisfies his vanity.

It’s a pity that Lin Jing is too young. It’s okay to tease the innocent little boy, but Xu Mingyuan is no longer the same person he used to be.

"Are you hungry? I am. Do you want me to cook for you? I am a good cook. Let me tell you in secret, mom and dad won't be home until ten o'clock."

"Haha, forget it. Your parents are nice people. Don't make them worry."

Although the topic was very tempting, Xu Mingyuan still refused.

"Yes, that's why I've worked harder than other kids since I was young, and strived to be the best in everything I do."

Lin Jing also felt a little cold, so she closed her legs and put her hands into her sleeves.

"Niubi."

Xu Mingyuan nodded in praise, interrupting her brewing emotions.
"Giggle..."

Lin Jing laughed and said angrily: "How can you say that to a girl? You can say great, really good, etc., all are fine. You actually said, awesome, awesome, hahahaha..."

"Why did you want to transfer to South City?"

"My aunt lives in the south city. The schools there are better and the exam papers are easier. My grades are good enough to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, but I want to apply for a good major, and my score in No. 3 Middle School is not enough."

"Your score is still not as good as the top students. I will never get your score in my lifetime."

"Oh, you just didn't focus on your studies. If you study hard, you will definitely do better than me in the exam." Lin Jing chuckled.

"My teacher has been lying to me about this for more than ten years. I have known my limitations for a long time. Learning to a certain level still depends on talent. If you are not good enough, you are not good enough. It is difficult to make up for it." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"You wouldn't say that before. It seems like you've really changed."

"People change all the time, don't you?"

"I haven't changed. I've always been like this." Lin Jing shook her head.

"Stick to your heart, that's good."

"You know what's good this time?" Lin Jing laughed and asked, "Xu Mingyuan, do you think we will meet again in the future?"

"Not anymore."

"How can you be sure? Am I not back now?"

"You are already in your third year of high school. It must be difficult to transfer your school status, right? I think it will be quite troublesome for your family to transfer your school status. Chen Junjian is not smart enough to provoke you. Now it's terrible. You have lost both the wife and the army."

Lin Jing was silent for a while, then laughed, "Yeah, he just wanted to scare me that day, and I rushed up on purpose."

"Hiss, you ruthless man. Could it be that when I saw Chen Junjian blocking you that day, he was also pretending?"

"No, I didn't expect to push him that day. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened."

"Why are you doing this? Doesn't Chen Junjian like you very much?"

"I hate people like him. He doesn't rely on himself but on his parents. He also acts superior and looks down on everyone." Lin Jing said.

"It's normal, right? If I were him, I might be the same." Xu Mingyuan said.

"That's true, but when he saw my parents, he couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes. He thought they were unfashionable and dirty, but he turned around and smiled at me. Xu Mingyuan, don't you think this is disgusting?" Lin Jing asked.

"He had such a good life when he was little that it doesn't matter if he doesn't improve himself. Damn, if I did this to your parents, would you punish me?"

"No, we are all ordinary people." Lin Jing said with a smile.

"I am an ordinary person, but you are not an ordinary person, and ordinary people are not like you. Your self-esteem is too strong." Xu Mingyuan shook his head.

"Of course I won't be ordinary in the future, but now we are the same."

Lin Jing looked at him, but unfortunately she couldn't see the change in his expression, so she could only say, "Look, if I said the same thing as Chen Junjian, would you feel unhappy?"

"It's okay. Since you said so, it must be fake that you like me." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"How could that be? I feel very uncomfortable when I see you hooking up with Tao Shuxin." Lin Jing chuckled.

"Tsk tsk, that's hard to say." Xu Ming didn't know whether what she said was true or not, and continued: "Why did you come back to see me? Did Chen Junjian's parents want to ask me for mercy through you? To give you some money to improve the family's life?"

"How could that be? Someone found me. I didn't expect it to become such a big deal." Lin Jing was silent for a moment and said, "Besides, I will make sure my parents live a good life."

"Well, I believe this."

Xu Mingyuan nodded. Although he never heard of Lin Jing's name again, he thought that people like her would not have a bad life.

"It's true that I like you, and it's also true that I don't want to see you. I thought everything would be fine if I left, but I didn't expect Chen Junjian to hurt you so badly."

Lin Jing pursed her lips and said, "I came back just to apologize to you in person, nothing else."

"With you interfering, I have no peace at all." Xu Mingyuan laughed.

"Um...can you forgive me?"

"Are you sure this is the reason?"

"of course."

"Are you kidding me? If you wanted to say this, why didn't you just say it earlier? You're crazy, go play somewhere else."

Xu Mingyuan naturally didn't believe such a ridiculous reason. He shook off her hand and walked towards the school gate shivering with cold.

When I thought about having to come to this damn place for class tomorrow morning, I felt devastated again. It was a waste of my taxi fare.
