"This mind, one wonders what it is thinking. It is astonishing how obvious things can elude it. I wonder what sort of ideas are cluttering it."
Oh dear, I was merely speculating, it's quite normal to be wrong. However, Qi Xiaojia doesn't seem to think so and has once again attacked me. Although her timing and excuse for attacking me seem far-fetched. It's a bit unreasonable.
Anyway, as an adult, I shouldn't dwell on it. Besides, I understand that one should never try to reason with a girl, even if she is clearly wrong and even if I am in the right. Especially when the girl is pretty. Otherwise, the outcome will be disastrous. Moreover, in my impression, apart from me, Qi Xiaojia doesn't usually talk to men, so I feel both frustrated and happy.
"Oh, Lin Feng, why can't your mind work more flexibly?"
What? Usually, when Qi Xiaojia attacks me, Ling Yuya always stands up for me and scolds Qi Xiaojia to save me some face. But today, she's behaving out of character and taking Qi Xiaojia's side.
"Lin Feng, Xiaojia and I are going to school."
Ling Yuya is even more anxious than I am, seeing that I'm not getting it. She gives me the answer.
"Going to school? To study at Huaxia University? Did you pass the postgraduate entrance exam?"
"Yes. Why, do you sound like you doubt that I can get into Huaxia University's graduate program?"
"No, no, you've misunderstood me. I didn't hear that you were taking the postgraduate entrance exam. You suddenly appeared, and I didn't think of that possibility."
Of course, I don't doubt Ling Yuya's abilities. When we graduated, Ling Yuya was fully qualified to enter the graduate program. However, for some reason, she gave up the opportunity and went home.
Even if she took the postgraduate entrance exam, with Huaxia University being one of the top three prestigious universities in the country and the competition ratio being 100:1, Ling Yuya would still have had the qualifications.
"However, Ling Yuya, we are friends no matter what. How come you didn't tell me about such good news as getting into graduate school? You didn't even let me be happy for you. If I hadn't run into you today, I wouldn't have known!"
At this point, I try to put on an angry expression, but my heart is a little sad, and I feel a bit of disappointment.
Ling Yuya probably only thinks of me as a friend, and just a regular friend at that. She didn't even mention the postgraduate entrance exam to me, although I can't be of any help to her. After all, my home is right next to Huaxia University, and the two of us are bound to run into each other no matter what.
"Do you really need to tell me? We don't have any relationship."
Qi Xiaojia became even more angry when she saw me ignoring her words. She finally got a chance to strike back and took it.
Feeling gloomy, I didn't remain indifferent this time when I heard Qi Xiaojia's words. Although I still didn't respond to her attack, my mood became even more downcast.
"Xiaojia," Ling Yuya saw that Qi Xiaojia was about to say something else and was afraid of making things more awkward for me, so she quickly stopped her.
"Lin Feng, Xiaojia is like this, don't mind her. Actually, I..." Ling Yuya's expression looked worried and nervous.
"Heh, it's nothing. Congratulations, Ling Yuya."
I interrupted Ling Yuya's words as I looked at her anxious expression. Anyway, Ling Yuya had returned to school to continue her studies, so there would be opportunities for us to meet in the future. For me, it was a happy thing.
"Ling Yuya, congratulations on becoming a graduate student and welcome back to Huaxia University. We should celebrate this good news properly. How about we go out for a meal together?"
Lu Tian was so jealous. As expected, he didn't have a chance to speak after this man appeared. He didn't know what to say and could only stand there like a wooden stake. But when this man reminded him, he remembered that he had originally planned to invite Ling Yuya to dinner, so he quickly spoke up to make Ling Yuya aware of his existence.
This Lu Tian had a personality, and was quite proactive, but obviously asking for trouble.
Ling Yuya, one of the four most beautiful women at Huaxia University, would be in great demand if she was so easily invited out. As far as I know, no one has ever successfully invited Ling Yuya.
"No, we have something to do."
Ling Yuya didn't speak, but Qi Xiaojia directly refused Lu Tian's invitation.
"How about another day?"
Lu Tian was not giving up.
"Let's talk about it another day. We have something to do, so we'll leave first."
After Qi Xiaojia finished speaking, she prepared to take Ling Yuya away.
"Alright then, Lu Tian, Lin Feng, goodbye."
"Very well, let's do it another day. Ling Yuya, if you ever need anything at school, come find me. I'm in the student council, you can ask around and find me there," Lu Tian said, somewhat reluctantly.
"Alright, thank you. I'll definitely trouble you in the future. Goodbye, Lin Feng."
Ling Yuya and Qi Xiaojia walked past me and headed towards the school.
"Hmph, playboy."
I don't know when or why I offended Qi Xiaojia, but when she walked past me, she muttered something under her breath. Although she didn't mention me by name, even a fool could tell she was talking about me.
She completely misunderstood me, but it didn't matter. Why did she call me a playboy and a great lover? I have nothing to do with those two characters. Although I would like to be that kind of person, I'm actually a very loyal person.
I have to endure it. After all, Qi Xiaojia is a beauty and Ling Yuya's bodyguard. I can't afford to offend her. If she whispers something in Ling Yuya's ear, my image in Ling Yuya's heart will be ruined.
Although it's impossible for anything to happen between Ling Yuya and me, I still care about my image in her eyes.
"Lin Feng."
"Yes?"
Ling Yuya walked more than a meter away before suddenly turning back and calling out my name, causing me to become nervous.
"Lin Feng, is your number still the same?"
"Yes."
"I'll call you another day. I don't know if you'll have time."
"Sure, just let me know if you need any help."
I don't know what Ling Yuya meant by this, but I'm excited and looking forward to seeing her again.
"Okay, Lin Feng. Goodbye."
Ling Yuya happily waved goodbye to me and headed towards the school, but Qi Xiaojia was not happy. She gave me a cold look, as if she would beat me up if I got too close to Ling Yuya.
As I watched Ling Yuya and Qi Xiaojia disappear, I turned around and saw Lu Tian clenching his fists, staring at me with fiery eyes. If Lu Tian hadn't been defeated by me before because of Li Tong, and knew that I was not easy to deal with, he probably would have already pounced on me with his fists.
But I'm a mature person and I don't care about him. I pretended not to see him and ignored his existence, walking straight home.
