Chapter 321 The College Entrance Examination Approaching
Lin Dongzhe was completely taken aback by Xiaoting's sudden words, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Xiaoting said she'd wait for him at Fudan University. What does that mean?
Did Xiaoting sense the special feeling hidden deep in her heart?
Or was it just ordinary encouragement from neighbors, friends, or classmates? He felt both excited and apprehensive.
He really wanted to ask and find out, but he was afraid that if he asked, he would be rejected, and then he might not even be able to be friends with him anymore.
Forget it, let’s wait a little longer.
Xiang Pengfei looked at Lin Dongzhe, who was staring blankly, and patted him on the head. "Dongzhe, my sister is talking to you, what are you daydreaming about?"
Lin Dongzhe quickly snapped out of his daze, nodding frantically and trying to make his voice sound calm. "Okay, I'll try my best, Zhuang Xiaoting, see you at Fudan."
Xiaoting gave a soft "hmm" and got up to walk into her own yard.
After walking a few steps, she turned back to look at Lin Dongzhe again.
The moment she turned around, her heart started racing, her face flushed, and she felt nervous.
She didn't know why she said she would wait for him in Shanghai, especially since her brother and Pengfei were there. It was really too bold of her.
Xiaoting walked into the house, her heart pounding the whole way. She secretly touched her slightly flushed face. Oh dear, how embarrassing!
Back in her room, she immediately threw herself onto the bed and covered her head with the blanket.
Zhuang Tunan watched his younger sister rush home in a panic, then turned his gaze to Lin Dongzhe, who was still squatting on the ground, looking dazed.
His heart skipped a beat. As someone with experience in relationships, he instantly understood his sister's feelings. Oh no! How could his sister have fallen for that rascal Lin Dongzhe?
He recalled how his younger sister used to complain about Lin Dongzhe being dirty when they were little, but the change now was so unexpected.
He had naively thought that it was only Lin Dongzhe who had feelings for his sister, but now it seems that girls' thoughts are really hard to fathom and can change in an instant.
Looking at Lin Dongzhe, Zhuang Tunan felt a surge of anger. The thought of his sister possibly having an affair with Lin Dongzhe in the future made him furious.
He walked a few steps to Lin Dongzhe, stood up, and couldn't help but kick him. Then he loudly called out to Pengfei, who was playing with the neighbor's children.
"Pengfei, come home!"
"Hey, bro, I'm coming!" Pengfei heard the call and immediately handed the sparkler back to the neighbor's kid, then ran over quickly.
He glanced at Lin Dongzhe, who was squatting on the ground. He had long seen through everything between Lin Dongzhe and his sister; the two of them had been eyeing each other for a long time.
As for who Green Bean is, of course it's his sister. I just hope the two of them can just let things take their natural course.
As long as Lin Dongzhe doesn't do anything too outrageous, his brother-in-law will turn a blind eye, since so far, their studies haven't been affected much.
Pengfei gave Lin Dongzhe a helpless look, wishing him good luck, and then quickly followed behind Tu Nan.
Lin Dongzhe stood up, patted the trouser leg that Zhuang Tunan had kicked, and instead of being angry, he smiled.
"Brother, if you're still not satisfied, kick him a couple more times."
In his view, Tu Nan's kick was more like a "special care" from his brother-in-law.
Zhuang Tunan turned around and glared at him, but didn't reply, and quickened his pace to go home.
Lin Dongzhe, with his hands in his pockets, hummed an off-key tune as he slowly closed the courtyard gate and returned to his room.
He immediately lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind filled with Xiaoting's words: "I'll be waiting for you at Fudan University."
These few simple words stirred up a storm in his heart.
He pondered repeatedly, Xiaoting had never said such things to anyone else, only to him. Did that mean he was special to her?
Thinking of this, Lin Dongzhe couldn't help but smile.
He became more and more excited as he thought about it, tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep.
It wasn't until after 3 a.m. that Lin Dongzhe finally drifted off to sleep, filled with joy. In his dream, he and Xiaoting strolled side by side on the university campus.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
On a sweltering day off in early June, Tu Nan and Zhang Wanshu successfully passed the entrance exam for graduate programs at Tongji University. This good news made both the Zhuang and Lin families extremely happy.
Zhuang Chaoying took half a watermelon out of the refrigerator.
Cut the watermelon into evenly sized pieces, arrange them one by one on three plates, and carefully stick a few toothpicks into each plate. Pick up one plate, walk over to Ah Ling who is watching TV in the living room, and place it on the coffee table.
"I'll go and bring them some watermelons."
Huang Ling picked up a toothpick, stuck a piece of watermelon into her mouth, and instantly felt the cool sensation spread from the tip of her tongue. She couldn't help but open her mouth and gently exhale.
"Chaoying, Xiaoting has been studying all morning and hasn't come downstairs. Let her come down for a walk and get some fresh air."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded, picked up the other two plates of watermelon, went up to the third floor, stopped in front of Xiaoting's room, and asked softly, "Xiaoting, is it convenient for you to come in?"
"Dad, come in."
Zhuang Chaoying pushed the door open with her arm and went inside.
Xiaoting was sitting at the table making toilet paper.
"Xiaoting, have some watermelon to cool off."
Xiaoting turned her head, a sweet smile on her face. "Dad, leave it here, I'll eat it after I finish this set of toilet paper."
Zhuang Chaoying sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at her daughter. "Xiaoting, you did very well in the recent mock exams. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Today is your day off. How about you go see a movie with Pengfei and Dongzhe, or go for a walk and relax your eyes?"
Xiaoting put down her pen, stood up, walked to Zhuang Chaoying's side, and gently pushed him to walk outside.
"Dad, I understand. You and Mom go watch TV, don't worry about me." With that, he pushed Zhuang Chaoying out of the room and then closed the door.
Zhuang Chaoying shook her head helplessly, sighing inwardly that her daughter had really grown up and had her own ideas.
He and Ah Ling were really worried that Xiao Ting was putting too much pressure on herself and affecting her health.
Zhuang Chaoying arrived at Pengfei's room and knocked on the door. "Pengfei, open the door."
"Uncle, the door isn't locked," Pengfei's voice came from inside the house.
Zhuang Chaoying carried a watermelon into the room and immediately saw Pengfei lying comfortably on the bed, holding a game console and playing Tetris with great concentration, his fingers dancing nimbly across the buttons.
"Pengfei, eat some watermelon, it's still cold."
He sat down next to Pengfei, took a toothpick, picked up a piece of watermelon, and held it to Pengfei's mouth.
The two children had completely different attitudes toward learning. One was so hardworking that it was worrying, while the other was relatively relaxed and easygoing. He thought to himself that it would be good if they could be balanced out.
Pengfei took a bite of watermelon, a satisfied look on his face. "So cool, so sweet!"
"Pengfei, are you done making the toilet paper?"
Pengfei ate watermelon, put the game console next to his pillow, and took the plate. "I'm done. My uncle laid a good foundation for us. Now I'm just waiting for the college entrance exam."
Zhuang Chaoying patted his head. "Later, you and Dongzhe take Xiaoting out for some fresh air and a walk."
Pengfei nodded as he ate watermelon. He understood what his uncle was worried about. Xiaoting was already an excellent student, but she was single-mindedly striving to excel. She wasn't satisfied with being first in the entire grade. He really couldn't understand the mindset of such a good student.
He and Dongzhe were already overjoyed to have made it into the top 50 in their grade in the third mock exam.
"Uncle, I understand. Don't worry, Lin Dongzhe will help liven things up with Xiaoting, so you don't need to worry."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded, and was about to say something more when she heard Ah Ling calling her loudly from downstairs. "Chaoying, the phone."
