After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Ye Zhi's question made Lu Tian feel very embarrassed.

If she had asked this question before today, he would have answered without hesitation: "What kind of mess are you thinking about? If I liked someone else, why would I kiss you that day?"

But now, he hesitated.

But not about this issue, but about your own heart.

Before today, he had never thought that if Jiang Baige said she liked him, he might not refuse.

Because Jiang Baige never said that.

She didn't even show any affection and kept pushing him away, except when she came to him for help.

As far as Lu Tian could remember, no one had ever been so unsympathetic to him.

But every time Jiang Baige came to him for help, he was very happy. So no matter what she said, he believed it, and he answered her questions truthfully.

But before that, he always thought that this was just the natural reaction of "fans" towards their "idols".

Which fan can refuse the idol’s request?

If that were possible, there wouldn’t be so many entertainment news accidentally making it to the front pages of society.

Now, he wasn't sure.

The moment he hesitated, the hope on Ye Zhi's face turned into gray. She was not sure why Lu Tian was with her.

Are you a substitute?

Because the person Lu Tian likes doesn't like him, so he chose himself as a second choice?

Or worse—

Although Lu Tian liked someone else, he also liked her at the same time. He could be with anyone, but she was the one who agreed first.

The two walked forward in silence.

Lu Tian didn't explain, nor did he coax her like he did just now. He just asked back: "Even if I said no, you wouldn't believe it, right?"

Ye Zhi was speechless, but she was not as angry as before.

She knew that Lu Tian was making up his mind - if he hadn't shown any hesitation, how could she not believe it? But at this moment, the cowardice in her body took over, making her unwilling to compete with him.

She didn't want to lose Lu Tian.

If she was unreasonable, she would push Lu Tian to someone else. That was not the result she wanted, even though her heart was as cold as ice at the moment.

It turned out that during the half year when she was thinking about him all the time, she was no longer the only girl in his world.

Even though they would call each other every day and say goodnight to each other before going to bed, when he heard that there were boys in school getting close to her, he would pretend to be jealous and say: "Men, none of them are good, stay away from them." He didn't care that he was also scolded, as if he was her best friend.

After sending Ye Zhi to the downstairs of the guesthouse, Lu Tian stopped and said he wanted to go back.

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment.

In the past few days, he came to accompany her because he knew she was not used to being alone in the dark.

They each lay on a narrow single bed, their hands crossing the aisle separated by the bedside table and gently resting on each other. She played the piano on his arm, and he told her in a disjointed manner what happened last semester.

Did they have a fight? Ye Zhi wanted to ask, but didn't dare.

At this time, Lu Tian added: "Because the school team will start morning training tomorrow, I am afraid of getting up too early and waking you up."

Maybe he was afraid that she would think too much.

Lu Tian is the kind of person who doesn't like to explain and likes to leave some space and leeway for each other. When we were friends, I felt that this was his gentleness. When we were boyfriends, I realized that he was avoiding conflicts - he would rather have a cold war than a heated argument.

But doesn’t the Cold War hurt relations?

Ye Zhi turned around and went upstairs alone.

When she was searching for the room card in her pocket, she felt for her cell phone. She took it out and sent a text message to Jiang Baige: [Senior, is it convenient for you tomorrow? I want to walk around the school.]

***

Jiang Baige got up before seven o'clock.

Lin Xingran, who was used to getting up early to practice oral English, was a little surprised: "Don't you have classes this morning? Why are you getting up so early?"

Jiang Baige stretched and yawned and said, "Lu Tian is not free today. I have to go accompany his girlfriend."

After a brief silence, Lin Xingran spoke up: "Listen to yourself, is the logic in your words reasonable? You are Lu Tian's mother or his sister, why do you take care of his girlfriend?"

Lin Xingran is right.

Jiang Baige nodded: "I think Ye Zhi is a good girl. Since her boyfriend is not available to accompany her, I will take her for a walk."

“It makes a lot more sense, but it’s still pretty weird.”

At this time, Wen Mian's voice came faintly from the upper bunk: "Xiao Bai is worthy of being a writer. Her view on love is more advanced than that of ordinary people like us... She is clearly a love rival, but she makes her sound like a real sister."

Lin Xingran laughed: "My sister? Even if my sister comes, I may not be able to accompany her."

"Okay, stop making fun of me. There are so many relationships between people. How can it be that someone is either a love rival or a sister..."

It may also be a relationship between helpers and the helped.

The person who is being helped has no idea what will happen to him in the future. He is immersed in youthful love, feeling sad and worried about gains and losses.

The two agreed to meet at the most famous Lover's Lake in the school.

This "Lover's Lake" was originally called "Bihu Lake". The water is clear and green all year round. However, there are limited places for dating in school, and the scenery and temperature here are pleasant, so it naturally became a dating destination for couples. I don't know when it started, but everyone referred to it as Lover's Lake.

If you want to ask for directions, only freshmen and students from other schools will ask “how to get to Bihu”.

"I didn't expect you knew it was called Lover's Lake." Jiang Baige was surprised once when they agreed on the location.

Ye Zhi took the milk tea handed to her by Jiang Baige, smiled and said thank you.

"When Lu Tian first came here, he complained to me that a nice Bihu Lake had to be called Lover's Lake, which made a single dog like him very embarrassed. After we got together, he even said happily that next time he came, he would not be a single dog. But now I am here, he is also in school, and the one who accompanies me is..."

She shook the milk tea in her hand: "He always liked to buy me all kinds of food and drinks before."

From here on, she started talking about her past with Lu Tian.

Inseparable playmates in childhood, the first love of a teenager, the hardship of parting after being separated from each other, the friendship of a teenager that has come to fruition...

With every sentence she spoke, Jiang Baige's heart sank a little.

Where does such a deep friendship and such a deep bond begin to break?

For the first time, Jiang Baige felt that this time, she might not be able to save Ye Zhi.

Unless fate gave her a golden finger, allowing her to know in advance where the paparazzi would take pictures, she would rush over and smash the paparazzi's camera.

Why? !

As if she really could know.

This incident was a big deal back then. She remembered that it was the year before the outbreak of the epidemic. In the photo, Lu Tian and Ye Zhi were wearing coats, but they were not very bulky, so it was at least late autumn.

It turns out that the breakthrough was not with Ye Zhi, because the paparazzi was following Lu Tian.

Jiang Baige jumped up from the stone bench, scaring Ye Zhi.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?"

"nothing."

I finally thought of a good way to save you, Jiang Baige thought. She suppressed her joyful expression and began to make new plans...
