I stood rooted to the ground in shock. My mind was in a mess. Things were really too complicated. It was so complicated that I didn't expect it at all. I looked at the stubborn Lan Gege in front of me and couldn't say a word.
The bag strap fell from my shoulder. I could only carry my bag with one hand and look at Lan Gege in surprise. Lan Gege's expression was relieved as she clenched her hands into a fist. Her right hand covered her chest and her left hand was placed on both sides of her thigh. She quietly observed my reaction.
"W-what did you just say?" I asked in disbelief.
Lan Gege turned her head and sighed to the side. She said in a serious tone,"What? Are you kidding me? I've said so much, but which sentence are you asking?”
I rubbed my face with my hands and calmed down a little. I was unwilling to take the truth that Lan Gege knew completely seriously, but I couldn't ignore it completely either. I had been with her for more than a year. Lan Gege was not the kind of person who liked to spread rumors, sow discord, and create trouble. Since she had said it, it meant that she definitely had relevant evidence. Lan Gege wouldn't lie to me. I couldn't doubt that. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. Yes, although I was very disgusted with her ability, it always made people feel that she was pervasive and had no secrets to speak of. But then again, the culprit was all for me. In Lan Gege's own words, instead of sitting still and waiting for death, and letting the school do whatever it wanted, it was better to rely on myself and use some abnormal means to obtain the information I needed. This was not breaking the rules, but a form of self-protection. I did not need others to make decisions for me. I knew very well how to walk the path and how to do things.
I sat back in my chair and raised my head, feeling extremely melancholic.
"Hey, come and sit down." I said to Lan Gege.
"What? Aren't you leaving? Why? Don't tell me that you suddenly have a conscience and want to apologize to me! I don't buy it. If so, you'd better save it.”Lan Gege pursed her lips and said deliberately in a fit of pique.
"Alright, it was my fault just now. You're not such a petty person. If you wanted to get angry, you would have done it long ago. I won't foolishly stay here and wait.”I imitated Lan Gege's usual confident tone and said,"I said something wrong, I take it back…Lan Gege, stop fooling around. Hurry up and sit here. I promise that no matter what you say in the future, I'll listen calmly.
…Hiss, why don't I go over and pull you?”Even though I felt awkward about being softened, who could I blame? Who asked me to not handle things calmly enough? Through this incident, I understood another principle-never anger Lan Gege, especially when the 'reason' is on her side. As I said that, I rolled up my sleeves and prepared to get up.
When Lan Gege heard this, she showed the usual proud attitude of a winner in satisfaction. Then, she casually shook her hair and walked over to me proudly. In the end, she sat next to me on the seat on my right. After that, Lan Gege stretched her legs out and placed her hands on her knees. She looked at me steadily." Since you've made a wise decision this time, I'll let you off this time…Tell me, what do you want to know?”
I coughed dryly to hide my awkwardness. I was also very curious, so I said," The list of documents for the economic seminar has always been strictly kept by the professor. Even I only 'know' about the existence of such a document. I have never seen it with my own eyes. Based on my understanding of the professor, unless he is willing to disclose the contents of the document, no one will be able to get their hands on this confidential list. Another point was that the nature of the seminar was just an ordinary academic exchange, so the decision was made by the professors of the department. They only needed to stamp their names with the principal to pass it. The list was with the professors, so the possibility of it being leaked was not high. Even if there was a rumor, it would only be limited to the economics department. It was still unclear whether the news was true or not. So, where did you hear that from?”
Lan Gege pulled her ears and replied in a half-relaxed tone,"I didn't hear about it. I saw the contents of the document with my own eyes. It was very detailed. The contents were arranged one by one. Hmm…although I don't understand most of the professional content, there are three words written in the column of 'confirmed candidators'. I can understand this, right? " Then I know. This thing must be related to you, so…" Lan Gege dragged out the last syllable, thinking about how to explain it in detail.
"So what?" My interest was really piqued. Could it be that Lan Gege really accidentally saw the document?! However, how could this be possible? Logically speaking, it was impossible to achieve, whether it was in theory or in action. The Professor was a rigorous and careful person. He would not leave any possibility for anyone.
"So, I took a few more glances.”Lan Gege's face turned slightly red and she continued to say a little embarrassedly,"So I carefully compared your name with the names of the others. In the end, I realized that, tsk, I'm not praising you, but the structure of your name is very well-proportioned. What font did the old man use? Anyway, it looked very vigorous and powerful, and it could be seen that it was written in one stroke.”Lan Gege crossed her fingers and commented with relish. However, she soon realized that she had gone off topic, so she waved her hand in embarrassment and hurriedly corrected herself,"Uh, no, that's not what I wanted to say. Start again…"
"Take your time. It's okay." I shrugged and continued habitually." I'm listening.”
Lan Gege smiled gratefully at me and became a little more serious. She returned to the main topic and said," Other than these differences, I found an even bigger difference. Next to your name, there is a pencil lightly marking the word 'to be confirmed' and a question mark. Although the words and symbols were written very softly, they were very obvious. I thought it was very strange at that time. Since the old man placed you at the top of the list, he should have valued you very much. Why were there strange words and question marks? I think there must be a problem here. Sigh, to be honest, I really had the urge to rush to the old man and ask him what he meant. But then, I thought about it again. I can't do it now. On the one hand, the old man probably doesn't remember who I am anymore. If he asks me questions like 'who am I' or 'what is my relationship with Ju Dianqing', how long do I have to explain? What about the long history, right? Besides, this isn't the main point. If the old man finds out that it was his own carelessness that allowed a rookie like me to take advantage of the loophole, wouldn't the old man's proud personality be affected? I don't care if he takes a blow or not. The problem is that I'm afraid of causing trouble for you, right? If the old man was embarrassed, who could guarantee that he wouldn't vent his anger on you? Any random reason would be enough to make you suffer, and you were such an honest and wooden person in front of him…On the other hand, it was completely unwise to act rashly before you knew the old man's true intentions. But what if I misinterpret the old man's intentions? I mean, if it's a good thing, I can't let you mess it up, right? In short, no matter what the old man means, I think it's better to wait and see before I figure it out.”Lan Gege calmed down in one breath. After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to ask for my opinion on her analysis.
