"What are you looking at?" I didn't raise my head. I knew that Lan Gege had something to ask.
"Um…did you read the email I sent you?”When Lan Gege heard this, she immediately leaned forward and placed her elbows on the dining table.
"Yes, I saw it." I drank a mouthful of soup and replied indifferently.
"Did the old man look for you this morning?" Lan Gege realized that I didn't really want to talk about this topic, so she changed the topic and threw out another question.
"The professor asked me to go to his place when I have time.”I said honestly," I don't want to go today if I have the time.”I thought about it. I still had emotions in my heart. The professor would definitely put pressure on me. I didn't want to accept everything so muddle-headedly.
Lan Gege burst out laughing." I didn't expect a doll to be so childish. How cute."”
I stopped eating and pretended to be angry." Hey!”
Lan Gege stuck out her tongue playfully at me and asked in a relaxed tone,"Are you really angry at the old man?”
Angry? I just didn't want to compromise like this. I couldn't agree with the professor's wishful thinking." Not really. Have you ever seen anyone get angry because they were recommended to be a student council member?”
"But I can't tell that you're happy at all. If it were anyone else, they would have been so happy.”Lan Gege held her cheek with her right hand and muttered,"" It's because you're not interested in this kind of thing to begin with, but because of certain factors, you're passively involved. In addition, you feel that you've been 'deceived' by someone, making you feel helpless, inexplicable, and a little angry about this matter. Am I right?”
"Since you already know, why are you still asking me?”I looked into her eyes and said calmly.
Lan Gege bit her lips and thought for a moment before saying,"Hmm…Don't you want to know why the old man is doing this?”
Oh right, I remember now. Lan Gege mentioned the professor's secret in the last message.
"I'm not interested in knowing secrets. I feel very bored. Lan Gege, I'm begging you. I'll handle this matter myself. Don't interfere anymore.”I wanted to stop discussing this matter because I realized that the more I knew, the more hesitant I became. Was the matter that complicated? Why was it so tense?
Lan Gege's eyes widened in confusion."What's wrong? Why was there such a huge emotional contrast? She was fine just a moment ago, but she turned hostile the next second. I was helping you, and you still think I'm nagging…" The more Lan Gege spoke, the more aggrieved she became. Her fingers unconsciously drew circles on the table." I don't want to say so many things that you don't want to hear, but can I not say them?"! Didn't you say that you knew about this? Really, why do you feel so unbalanced every time you mention the old man? If you want to protect your mentor, you have to have time and things to do, right? You weren't angry when he hid the truth from you, but you complained when I told you the truth…Fine!”
Lan Gege turned her face to the side and ignored me.
I felt apologetic. Yes, if I had one-third of Lan Gege's ability, wouldn't I be able to find out these things myself? Also, I wasn't defending the professor. In fact, whenever I thought about how the professor was hiding things from me, I would have an inexplicable feeling. At this moment, Lan Gege was still feeding me information about the professor, which really annoyed me. I knew that everything the professor did was for my own good. Lan Gege did everything she could to help me. But why did it have to be so complicated and tiring?
I sighed lightly and apologized to Lan Gege."Alright, it's my fault. My attitude just now was very unfriendly. Miss Lan, don't take it to heart.”
Lan Gege stood up and put her hands in her pockets. She said coldly,"Thank you for treating me to a meal. I'm full now.”With that, she walked towards the entrance of the cafeteria.
I grabbed the bag and chased after her.
After coming out of cafeteria 1, Lan Gege had a long face and her hands were behind her back. She walked forward in large strides alone in a muffled voice. I caught up to her and said a few more soft words to ease the awkward atmosphere. I didn't expect Lan Gege to have a bad temper this time. She even had a personality and didn't say a word no matter what I said.
I was a little annoyed. It was noon, and I really didn't want to be snubbed. Just like that, when we reached the fork, Lan Gege, who was walking in front, stopped. She stood there in boredom and waited for me to walk up to her.
"Um, do you have classes in the afternoon?" Lan Gege raised her head and casually asked.
" Yes, statistics. All afternoon." I replied.
Lan Gege then meowed at the watch on her wrist and showed an expression of 'unfreezing' on her face."Are you going back to the dormitory now? There's still an hour and a half left."
I shook my head." No, the weather is good. I want to bask in the sun at noon. I can use this time to think about something.”I paused for a moment before adding,"Then, that's it for now. I'll go to the right. Bye.”
I walked at a brisk pace for about 10 meters along the road. When I turned around, I saw that Lan Gege had followed me closely. I pretended to adjust the bag strap on my shoulder. When Lan Gege approached me, I crossed my arms and lowered my head to ask with a smile,"What's wrong? Do you want to follow me? This road didn't seem to lead to the girls 'dormitory.”
Lan Gege puffed up her cheeks and muttered,"I, I want to bask in the sun too, can't I?”
I nodded my head in understanding. I thought to myself,'Lan Gege, just continue acting. Let's see how long you can last.'
"If that's the case, that's good. Then we still have a long way to go. Well, let me see. I'm going to the fountain. Where are you going?”I said it on purpose.
"…Fountain? What a coincidence, hehe ~ I originally wanted to go there too. Sunbathing, feeding gold and jade, and it was cooler to lean against the water.”Lan Gege laughed dryly and wiped the non-existent sweat on her face with the back of her hand.
"Oh? Then why don't we go together?" I suggest that we stop teasing her and give her a way out.
Lan Gege pretended to consider it for a moment before she agreed reluctantly.
I turned my face away and finally smiled. At the same time, I heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was not wise to 'quarrel' with Lan Gege, let alone for an inexplicable reason.
The fountain was located in the southwest of the school, close to the school library. It seemed to have been built only two or three years later than the first canteen. The fountain wasn't big, but the location was chosen carefully. A circle of willow trees was planted around the fountain, and a row of seats was installed under each willow tree for people to rest. In the summer, the pool would be filled with water. If one sat on a chair under the willow tree and read a book, the breeze would stir up the ripples in the pool, making one smell the scent of nature. In winter, especially when the weather was cold, a thin layer of ice would form on the water surface of the pool. Although the water level was not deep, for safety reasons, the school had people install a fence around the fountain. The water in the pool was not " dead water " because there was a group of goldfish living in it. Most of them were bought by students who lived in the school from the morning market and then released. Some people even released tadpoles and turtles into the fountain. In short, other than goldfish, no one knew if there were other creatures living in the fountain. After all, the fountain had been around for some time.
