Chapter 165 Proud
"Whether you are tired or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Xu Mingyuan continued to crack melon seeds, interrupting her thoughts in a very unpleasant way.

"No?" Lin Jing turned her head to look at him, thought for a moment, nodded gently and said, "Indeed not."

"Isn't that all? Contact me less in the future."

"Hey, are you really that heartless? I've only contacted you a few times? You're already impatient? We agreed that we could be friends even if we weren't lovers."

Lin Jing threw a melon seed shell in front of Xu Mingyuan and said with a helpless smile.

"Did I say that?"

Xu Mingyuan asked doubtfully, this was not his style.

"I told you, it seems you have forgotten it a long time ago."

Lin Jing touched the plate and saw that there were only a few melon seeds left, so she grabbed a handful from Xu Mingyuan.

"Well, I've taken precautions in advance. I'm quite scheming."

Xu Mingyuan nodded perfunctorily.

"Aren't you different? You told me from the beginning that it was just for fun."

"I heard from that girl named Song Xiaowan that you mean I took advantage of you. No, how did you come up with this idea?"

Xu Mingyuan changed the subject.

"Tao Shuxin, aren't you two together?"

"What's her relationship with you?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"You said it yourself at the time. You wanted me to test Tao Shuxin's reaction."

"you go?"

"No, you said next that you found that I am quite good, so why not let me be your girlfriend?" Lin Jing said with a smile.

Xu Mingyuan lowered his head in deep thought. Usually, he would still remember some of the things that made a deep impression on him if someone reminded him of them.

I remember that I went there with the intention of confessing my feelings to her in a subtle way, and Lin Jing's reaction at that time was also very intriguing.

"Yeah, that's right, it was this time that you didn't hide when I held your hand."

"Yeah, you're not going to pretend to have amnesia anymore?"

Lin Jing smiled and took a sip of juice.

"You think too much. I'm really not as complicated as you think. Whether you believe it or not, just think of it as me forgetting some things due to a bump on my head. I don't mean to lie to you."

"Is it?"

"Believe it or not, you are a bit too narcissistic. I suggest you go see a doctor." Xu Mingyuan shook his head.

Lin Jing's smile got even wider when she said Yu Caiwei from Class 3 was not pretty. But when she said she was far inferior to Tao Shuxin, her expression turned a little colder.

These were all very subtle changes in expression, but Xu Mingyuan looked carefully and still caught them.

"Hey, you're saying I'm sick again." Lin Jing giggled.

"No, I'm serious." Xu Mingyuan frowned and continued, "You shouldn't go to Peking University or Tsinghua University. The students around you are all excellent. It would be strange if you weren't tired. You should just go to a good university. As the old saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."

"The pressure is okay, I can handle it."

Lin Jing kicked her calves and touched Xu Mingyuan's trouser legs.

"Actually, you are already very good. You are admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University. I envy you for having a good brain." Xu Mingyuan smiled.

"It's not as you said. If I didn't transfer schools, I wouldn't have passed the exam." Lin Jing sighed.

"It depends on the individual. Even if I were transferred to 800 schools, I still wouldn't be able to get in."

Xu Mingyuan called the waiter and threw down thirty yuan.

"It's my treat."

"I don't want to owe you a favor."

After Xu Mingyuan finished speaking, he stood up and left.

"Xu Mingyuan, let's make friends."

Lin Jing chased after him and tugged at Xu Mingyuan's sleeve.

"I don't want to have a friend who schemes against me behind my back. The road ahead is long. See you later."

Xu Mingyuan waved and got into a taxi.

Lin Jing stood at the intersection, looking at the receding taillights with a dazed look on her face.

She could see that Xu Mingyuan was really different. Whether he had lied to her or not, he was almost like a different person.

He is no longer the funny little boy he used to be. His ideas have become more resolute and it is difficult for him to be influenced by others.

It's a bit of a pity.

Xu Mingyuan combined his past memories and had a general understanding of Lin Jing. She seemed easy to talk to on the surface, but she was very defensive psychologically, and it was impossible to talk to her.

If Xu Mingyuan was still the same as before, even if Lin Jing saw him again, her interest in him would decrease over time. Or if he found an ordinary girl to date, Lin Jing would probably feel that she had won a spiritual victory.

In fact, Lin Jing is not narcissistic, but her self-esteem is too strong.

After discovering this, Xu Mingyuan immediately lost interest. There are many gifted students in Peking University and Tsinghua University. With her self-esteem, it is unknown how long she can hold on.

……

"Brother, you didn't eat dinner?"

Yang Zhi put down the notebook and looked at the clock. It was not yet seven o'clock, and she thought he would not be back until at least eight o'clock.

"No, I forgot. Have you eaten?"

Xu Mingyuan hung up the clothes casually, leaving Xiao Yangzhi an opportunity to take it, and rubbed her hair with a smile.

No matter if he was worried or calculating, he instantly felt relaxed when he saw Xiao Yangzhi.

"I just ate not long ago, brother, what do you want to eat? I'll go out and buy it."

"No need, I'm not that hungry. Did you have noodles for dinner?"

"Well, brother, do you want to eat?"

Yang Zhi blinked her eyes, her little face filled with joy.

"Eat it. Don't make it too complicated. Just boil it in water. Don't we have vegetables at home? I'll make do with it."

"it is good."

After the hardworking little Yangzhi agreed, she immediately went to boil water without complaining. While the water was not boiling, she cleared away the books on the dining table.

After a few minutes, Yang Zhi came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles.

"Brother, the noodles are cooked, come and eat."

"Thank you." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"You're welcome."

Yang Zhi bit her lower lip lightly, with a hint of smile in her eyes.

"Haha, okay, I won't be polite with you."

Xu Mingyuan laughed and pulled her to sit down with him.

Xiao Yangzhi was asked to keep it simple, but she still added a poached egg to the noodles and cut a few slices of braised meat and cooked them together.

Xiao Yangzhi also made the two side dishes that he packed back at noon into a stew and reheated them.

It doesn’t look very good, but it tastes okay. Xiao Yangzhi can’t do anything else, but he can still heat up dishes.

"Come, have a pig's trotter."

Xu Mingyuan moved the plate in front of her.

"Brother, you eat it, I've already eaten it."

"Just eat it if I tell you to. Braised pig's trotters are not stewed pig's trotters. The meat is soft and rotten. It won't be indigestible."

"okay."

Yang Zhi couldn't refuse, so she picked up a pig's trotter and nibbled it in small bites, making her mouth full of the greasy and moist taste.

While chewing, Yang Zhi saw Xu Mingyuan stand up and walk towards the kitchen. Seeing this, Yang Zhi hurriedly asked, "Is it not delicious?"

"It's delicious. How can it not be delicious? You cooked such a big bowl. How can I finish it?"

“Not much…”

Yang Zhi frowned slightly. She always cooked according to her brother's appetite.

"Where do you get so much to say? Help me share some of the burden."

Xu Mingyuan took an empty bowl, scooped a few chopsticks of noodles from his big bowl, and put a small bowl in it.

"I can't eat it."

"If noodles don't make you hungry, how can you not eat them? Here, I'll give you half of the poached egg."

Xu Mingyuan picked up the fried egg and used both hands to try to break it with chopsticks.

"Ah..." Yang Zhi opened her mouth wide and bit off a small half of it. She said with a bulging mouth, "Brother, I really can't eat any more..."

"Okay, okay, I won't force you to eat it."

Xu Mingyuan stretched out his fingers and pressed Xiao Yangzhi's face.

Yang Zhi's cheeks puffed up, proving that she couldn't swallow it.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan put the fried egg with a crack back into his bowl and eat it without any concern, Yang Zhi's heart beat fast and she felt a little proud.
