"Yes, I know, I know. You're really busy. You're so young. Alright, I'll hang up first.”The professor's angry voice stopped, and the busy tone came from the other end of the phone.
I put away my phone and heaved a sigh of relief. I looked up at the blue sky.
At this moment, Lan Gege was curled up in her chair and giggled non-stop. She laughed and said,"I've seen it for myself. You're really something. You don't even blink when you lie. Your logic is quite smooth.”Then, Lan Gege restrained herself a little and continued,"However, aren't you afraid that the old man will be angry if you reject him directly like this?”
I stretched my hands to the sky and replied indifferently," The professor is already angry…"
Lan Gege nodded in understanding and said,"Yes, that's for sure. It's the first time I've been rejected by my favorite student. I can't accept it so quickly, right?”
I put down my hand and looked down at Lan Gege."Oh, since when did Miss Lan start to worry about whether the old man will be angry? I'm very surprised."
Lan Gege tilted her head and rolled her eyes. She said a little unconfidently,"No, it's just that…why do I feel like I'm the one who forced you to do something wrong to the old man because I took your lunch break? Why did he feel guilty? Sigh, did I delay your business?”Lan Gege said pitifully as she scratched her ears in frustration and frustration.
I studied the content of his words and smiled unconsciously."No, I still have to thank you for helping me this time. It's fine to slack off for a day occasionally. However, how did you come up with this reason?”I grabbed Lan Gege's left hand and pointed at the words in her palm." You know that I'm too busy with school. How would I have time to go out and work?" Besides, it wasn't the holidays now. Would the professor believe it?”
Lan Gege quickly withdrew her left hand and rubbed it with a wet tissue. She pouted and admitted defeat."Isn't it because time is tight? How can I think so much? Sigh, failure, failure…"
I comforted Lan Gege and joked,"You have to remember next time. You have to stay calm in the face of danger, okay?”
Lan Gege looked at the fountain in the distance gloomily. She waved her fingers and remained silent.
After a long while, Lan Gege sat up with a " carp jump ". She propped her hands on the edge of the chair and searched the floor for the slippers that had been thrown away earlier. She was even humming a little tune that she had composed herself.
I took this opportunity to adjust my sitting posture before my right leg went completely numb. Thanks to Lan Gege, I finally experienced the feeling of maintaining the same position for a long time today.
"Ju, what are you going to tell the old man tomorrow?”Lan Gege asked directly.
"Didn't I say it before? Just answer as you want.”I answered casually.
Lan Gege sat on the edge of the chair and bent down to break a dandelion growing in the cracks of the ground. She blew lightly and the seed immediately scattered in all directions. Lan Gege handed me the dried dandelion in her hand and said meaningfully,"Dandelions can survive without roots. The wind can bring them anywhere. As long as there is sunlight, no matter where the seeds end up, they can start to germinate and grow again.”
I looked at the remaining dried meat in my hand and was confused." Why? Are you feeling sentimental again?”
Lan Gege seemed to have noticed my carelessness. She had already reached the point where she couldn't tolerate my stubbornness anymore, so she stood up abruptly and placed her hands on her hips. She moved in front of me and said in exasperation,"Ju, I know that it's not because the old man made the decision for you and hid the truth from you. It's because you're disgusted with this position that you got through nepotism. To be honest, I don't believe that you're not interested in the position of president or vice president of the student council! Yes, that's right. I know you don't want to take advantage of others. You think that if you accept the recommendation letter, you won't be on the same starting line as your competitors. You don't want to accept charity from others even if it's a trivial advantage. Indigo, you've always been the most obedient to the old man's arrangements. Why can't you listen to him again this time?”
I lowered my head and sighed. It turned out that Lan Gege was still unwilling to give up on this topic. I leaned back against the chair and placed my hands on both sides of my knees. I raised my head and looked straight into Lan Gege's eyes."That's right. I just want to rely on my own ability to try and fight for it. I don't want to rely on a recommendation letter to easily get the opportunity that so many people dream of. "I have to admit that you're indeed very powerful. You have a way to get first-hand information that no one knows. You're the first to come and tell me the real rules of the game. I'm very grateful to you for this. But have you ever thought about it? Others don't know yet. How many people like me only know how to believe in the student handbook and respect the students? Don't you know how many people's chances can be squeezed out by just one spot? What about those who still believed that there would always be hope as long as they worked hard? I can't believe I was one of them just a few days ago. In just a few short days, my situation has changed completely. This is the so-called 'ascending to the heavens in a single step', right? Why should I be interested in a campaign that was unfair from the start?”
Lan Gege stood rooted to the ground and listened to me in a daze. She didn't reply. I think she probably didn't expect me to complain to her about my true thoughts. I continued to look into Lan Gege's eyes and said,"No matter what the reason is, I can understand why the professor did this. It's just that he has unlimited hope for me. He hopes that I can develop in other areas besides academic achievements. To quote you, he treats me as his favorite student and grooms me. Such a good opportunity is rare. I can understand why he decided for me without my consent. I'm not angry at all. Who doesn't want their students to make a difference? Which department's professor would be willing to let go of this opportunity for their student? Don't I understand this? What was that? 'The professor's secret doesn't exist at all. It's a reason that anyone can think of, but you're using it to make things mysterious. I just don't want to expose it. Lan Gege, don't think that you're the smartest, the most calculative, and the best for me.'”
After saying that, I turned my head to the side and stopped looking at her. Lan Gege, didn't you say that you know me very well? Then why are you still persuading me to accept this? Do you really know what I'm thinking?
