After saving Bai Yueguang's substitute

【Today's love temperature: 68℃】

532

The phone vibrated.

It was a WeChat message from Xu Zhinian.

【Zhi Nian: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh】

533

A question mark popped up above my head.

?

What kind of madness is he doing?

Before I could figure out how to respond.

The phone vibrated again.

534

【Zhi Nian withdrew a message】

I:? ? ?

535

I was even more puzzled, so I replied to him: What's wrong?

Zhinian: It’s nothing, I sent it wrong just now.

I said "oh" slowly.

536

The phone fell silent.

Xu Zhinian's WeChat avatar is a cool blue. At first glance, there is nothing there. When he clicks to enlarge it, he finds that there are patterns.

It's a map of the sky.

He seems to really like the stars.

537

After a few minutes, Xu Zhinian sent another message.

Zhinian: Mr. Jiang.

I'm here.

Zhinian: Did you see that video in Moments?

It turned out that he saw my likes.

I replied: Well, I see it.

Xu Zhinian sent a "crying" emoji.

Zhinian: Ahhh!

Zhinian: Does it sound terrible?

I originally wanted to tell the truth, but seeing the expression he posted, he seemed to be a little bit broken.

Afraid of shocking him, I decided to express it more tactfully and give him some comfort.

I'm okay.

Me: It's not hard to hear.

538

Zhinian: Really?

me: ah.

Zhinian: I know Mr. Jiang is trying to comfort me.

I paused.

Zhinian: But still very happy.

Me: Just be happy.

539

Zhinian: I never thought that Mr. Jiang would also watch Moments.

Me: Why can't I watch Moments?

Zhinian: Ah, I just feel that Mr. Jiang is not the kind of person who often goes on social software.

I:……

I solemnly called out his name: Xu Zhinian.

Zhinian: Huh?

Me: I am 28 this year

me: not 48

Zhinian: ...

Me: I'm only 5 years older than you.

540

The chat box was silent for a moment.

After a while, Xu Zhinian sent a voice message.

Xu Zhinian: "Ah, Mr. Jiang, I don't mean that. I just think that Mr. Jiang is so busy that he shouldn't have so much time to watch Moments."

541

His voice is transmitted through the Internet, which is a little different from the real timbre, and the familiarity can be regained after hearing it.

Because he was in a hurry to explain, he spoke a little faster than usual, sounding very lively.

Very nice.

Since Xu Zhinian went to school, I seldom heard him talk like this in my ear, and I still miss it for a while.

I turned on the voice, put the phone to my ear, and listened again.

542

Probably because I haven't replied for too long, Xu Zhinian sent a question mark anxiously.

Zhinian:?

Zhinian: Mr. Jiang?

I'm here.

Zhinian: Oh, did I bother you?

I do not have.

543

I asked him: Don't you want me to see that video?

Zhinian: Ah, no!

Zhinian: It's just that I play too badly!I feel very embarrassed to let Mr. Jiang hear it!

Zhinian: I haven't finished learning that song, if I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have asked my roommate to shoot it!

I'm fine.

544

When it comes to the video, I am still worried about who I want to play Xu Zhinian's song for.

Me: When you learn it, you can play it again for me, so maybe it can replace my memory of watching the video.

Zhinian: Good!I will definitely study hard!

545

I nodded contentedly.

That way it doesn't matter who he wants to play to, someone else or me.

I could eventually hear him play it all over again.

This business is not bad.

546

Still, I wonder, who would he play it to, if not me?

Jiang Shengsheng?Or a new friend he met at school?

It seemed too obvious to ask directly, so I decided to ask around.

Of course, I tell myself.

I'm just curious.

547

Me: You should have met a lot of new friends at school?

Zhinian: What?

Me: I chatted with you just now, and it seems that you are much more cheerful than before.

Zhinian: Ah, that’s because it’s on the Internet.

Zhinian: Actually, I still seldom talk to people in school, and I just transferred in this semester, so I haven't even gotten to know my classmates.

Zhinian: I was not like this before, obviously I can get along well with my classmates.

Zhinian: But now, when I face them, I suddenly don't know how to speak.

Zhinian: Mr. Jiang, is it bad that I am like this?

Me: This is not your problem.

548

Zhinian: Sometimes when I have a big class and there are a lot of people in the classroom, I will be very nervous.

Zhinian: I can only find a place with few people to attend lectures.

Zhinian: When I went downstairs a few days ago, a classmate helped me, but I subconsciously pushed him away.

Zhinian: I know he meant well and didn't mean to hurt me, but I can't control myself.

Zhinian: In school, I can't find the feeling of being in class a few years ago. I can't play and joke with the people around me like before.

Zhinian: I found that I could no longer integrate into them. The closer they got to me, the more scared I became.

549

Me: what are you afraid of?

Zhinian: I don't know, I'm just afraid.

Zhinian: Maybe it’s because I’m afraid that they will find out about my strangeness, or that they will know what happened to me.

Me: That's not your fault.

550

Me: You haven't seen a crowd for three years.

Me: It's normal to be repelled.

Me: You just need time.

Zhinian: Really?

Me: Well, don't worry, take your time.

Me: You can't do it like in the past, and you don't have to force it. You don't have to think about getting along with every classmate, just find friends who suit you slowly.

Zhinian: Is that so?

Me: Yes, when I was in school, I didn't have friendship with everyone.

Me: I have a brother who has a very good relationship, but I have a normal relationship with most of my classmates.

Zhinian: If it is Mr. Jiang, it will give people a feeling that this is indeed the case.

Why do I?

Zhinian: Because Mr. Jiang's character is like this.

Zhinian: It seems very difficult to approach, and looks very indifferent.

Zhinian: But in fact, if you get closer to Mr. Jiang, you can feel Mr. Jiang's warmth.

551

I was embarrassed by what he said.

I changed the subject and said: You have been in school for so many days, you should have one or two close friends.

Tomoyen: If you say that, there are indeed.

who I am?

Zhinian: It's my roommate, this year's freshman, a very outgoing kid, very natural and familiar, always pulling me when going out.

Zhinian: Didn't I make up for the knowledge I lost before, and he would also lend me the textbooks.

Zhinian: By the way, that video was shot by him.

552

A roommate who shoots videos?

If I say before, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Now there is only rejoicing.

Thanks to his existence, Xu Zhinian is no longer alone in his campus life.

553

Me: So you're not bad at all.

Me: You just went back to school and you are not quite used to it yet.

Zhinian: Yes.

Me: So you don't have to be afraid.

Zhinian: Ahhh, I feel much better after being told by Mr. Jiang.

554

Zhinian: If I chat online instead of face to face, I'm not so nervous.

Me: It has become a lot more lively.

Zhinian: If it wasn't through WeChat, I probably wouldn't have talked so much with Mr. Jiang today.

Zhinian: I feel like I let go a lot here.

Me: Are you also nervous when facing me?

Zhinian: Yes.

Zhinian: But I'm not afraid of Mr. Jiang.

Me: Why is that?

Zhinian: ah ah ah ah ah I don't know how to describe it!

Zhinian: Let me use a metaphor...

Zhinian: It's the nervousness of seeing someone you like!

555

Jiang Mingyi, calm down, calm down.

I meditate in my heart.

He was just making a metaphor.

Don't take it seriously.

556

"Xiao Jiang?" Aunt Wang finished cleaning and saw that I was still on the sofa, so she couldn't help walking over.

"Your face seems a little red?" she asked, "Is it because you have caught a cold? The seasons have changed recently, the hot and cold air alternates, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. I will make you a bowl of ginger tea later."

I coughed subconsciously.

Mrs. Wang: "Do you really have a cold?!"

"No." I said quickly, "Maybe my face is a little hot because I'm wearing too much clothes."

Sister-in-law Wang responded, and left suspiciously.

557

I poured myself a glass of cold water.

The cold liquid flowed down his throat, and the heat on his face dropped slightly.

I slowed down and continued to look at my phone after I calmed down completely.

Zhinian: Mr. Jiang?

Me: Something happened just now.

Zhinian: Are you busy with work?

Zhinian: Am I taking up too much of your time today?

Me: No, it's a little thing, I'm done.

Zhinian: Oh oh!

558

Zhinian: Right!

Zhinian: Is Mr. Jiang at home this weekend?

I checked the schedule.

Me: The company has a project report meeting on weekends, and I'm going to chair it.

Zhinian: Is that so...

He seemed a little disappointed.

Me: But I should go back tonight.

Zhinian: Okay!

559

I smiled, and sent a message to Assistant Sun: I have something to do on the weekend night, so please postpone any entertainment.

Assistant Sun replied in seconds: Received!

560

Zhinian: Then I'll make Mr. Jiang a chicken wings and fresh shrimp stew tonight.

Zhinian: It is a new dish I learned recently.

me: ok.

561

Chicken Wings and Shrimp Casserole?

Never had it before.

But, it sounds pretty good.

562

I chatted with Xu Zhinian on WeChat for a while and listened to him talk about his daily life at school.

When I looked back at my watch, I realized that it was already late at night.

When I used to work overtime at home to read documents, why didn't I feel like several hours passed by as soon as I looked up?

Time seems to go by so fast tonight.

563

Me: It's so late, are you still awake?

Zhinian: Ah.

Zhinian: It's already 11 o'clock if you don't pay attention.

Zhinian: It seems that I should sleep.

Me: Well, go to bed early.

Zhinian: Mr. Jiang, can you say good night to me?

564

I thought about it, turned on the voice, and said something in a low voice.

"Good night."

565

A few minutes later, Xu Zhinian also sent a voice message.

I put the phone to my ear.

"Mr. Jiang, good night."

he said softly.
