Lin Jianzhi was so frightened!
Her voice was shaking as if she was being electrocuted!
She knew she was definitely wrong, this would not work. Her parents would find out and give her a beating with mixed doubles!
They would break her legs!
As expected, none knows a daughter better than her mother.
Lin's mother immediately heard that her voice was wrong, and asked sternly: "Lin Jianzhi! What bad thing did you do?!"
Lin Jianzhi burst into tears all at once, stuttering without saying a word.
Lin's Mother: "Where are you?! Are you lying?!"
Lin Jianzhi: "Wah wah wah!"
Not far from the cabinet, Zhu Liheng was just about to find something to calm down. He casually saw the Coke that was previously placed on the cabinet.
He opened the can of Coke but hadn't drank a few sips when the little crybaby started sobbing over there.
Zhu Liheng put down the Coke and walked over.
He hadn't even gotten close yet when he heard Lin's mother yelling angrily over the phone.
He reached out and took the phone from Lin Jianzhi's hand.
Lin Jianzhi was so scared she almost jumped up!
Don't!
Don't say anything!
She had a guilty conscience, and her first reaction was to try to conceal all the key people.
But Zhu Liheng was tall, not only did he avoid Lin Jianzhi's attempt to grab the phone back, he also turned around and shook her off, taking a big step to the window.
Then, to Lin Jianzhi's terrified gaze, he spoke into the phone.
Zhu Liheng: "Auntie, it's me, Zhu Liheng."
Lin's mother was stunned for a moment, but her voice softened immediately: "Little Zhu?"
Zhu Liheng: "Yes, Lin Jianzhi is in my lab, just now when your call came, the electromagnetic fluctuations caused a light bulb to spark and she was scared and cried."
He started improvising on the spot.
Because he knew the nature of Lin's parents' work, he knew they didn't understand physics at all.
And indeed, there was a sphere in the lab.
This thing really sparked electricity!
Lin's mother was shocked and immediately started asking questions: "Are you guys okay now? No explosions, right? Is it dangerous?"
Zhu Liheng spoke calmly: "Don't worry Auntie, it's a safe experimental device within safety limits."
Lin's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
She didn't even react to why Lin Jianzhi would be with Zhu Liheng, and why they would be in the lab.
Zhu Liheng seamlessly started covering up: "Yes Auntie, let me not keep talking, it's getting late, I'll take Lin Jianzhi and her classmates back to the hotel first."
Lin's Mother: "Okay, okay, thank you so much Little Zhu!"
Zhu Liheng: "You're welcome, it's what I should do."
After hanging up the phone, he handed it back to Lin Jianzhi, calm from start to finish, even doing it in one go.
Lin Jianzhi was dumbfounded, still with tears on her face.
Zhu Liheng helplessly wanted to laugh, but in the end just sighed, reaching out to rub her head.
"Go to sleep," he said, going to wash up.
Then he laid down on the couch on his own initiative.
Lin Jianzhi looked at her phone, then looked at Zhu Liheng.
The awkward room, even the air had solidified.
Neither knew what to say, and eventually Zhu Liheng was the one to speak first: "The pajamas look nice."
The ones from this morning.
Lin Jianzhi's face turned red as she nodded vigorously: "Mm-hmm, I think they're pretty cute too."
The teddy bear pattern even had a little bow tied on the ears!
She burrowed into the quilt, feeling sorry for Zhu Liheng lying on the couch.
"You, do you want to come over and sleep?" she suggested.
Then her face turned red again, and she even hid in the quilt a bit.
Zhu Liheng looked at her playfully and asked, "What, not scared anymore?"
Lin Jianzhi was extremely embarrassed, using the quilt to cover her head.
But very soon, she felt the quilt over her head being lifted up.
Zhu Liheng sat on the edge of the bed looking at her.
Lin Jianzhi: "!!!"
Zhu Liheng reached out his hand...
Lin Jianzhi instinctively shrank back!
Click!
He had just turned off the lights.
Lin Jianzhi: "......"
Zhu Liheng felt her personality was very strange.
How exactly did this extreme tug-of-war personality, both bold and timid, loudmouth yet a crybaby, form?
He was about to go back to the couch, but was grabbed by the girl.
Then she started crying!
And it was particularly sad crying.
Zhu Liheng was dumbfounded and asked, "You don't want me to sleep on the couch?"
Lin Jianzhi: "Wah wah wah! That's not it."
Zhu Liheng was even more confused: "Then what is it?"
Lin Jianzhi: "I have to go back to Jingzhou tomorrow."
Zhu Liheng: "......"
He really couldn't keep up with her train of thought.
Eventually Lin Jianzhi cried herself to sleep. She had walked a lot yesterday afternoon, and had a shock in the evening, so she fell asleep soon.
Zhu Liheng breathed a sigh of relief and lay down to rest.
The night passed peacefully. The next morning, the two got up early.
Before going to the lab, Zhu Liheng first sent Lin Jianzhi to the high speed rail station.
But before leaving, Lin Jianzhi pulled him reluctantly and asked, "How much longer do you have to be busy in the lab?"
She remembered Zhu Liheng saying it was a month.
It's been more than a month now, still not over yet?
Zhu Liheng: "In the near future, just these few days, once it's done I'll go back."
Lin Jianzhi nodded: "Oh, oh, can it be completed before August 4th? I'm just asking, no problem if it can't make it."
Zhu Liheng: "It can."
Having received an affirmative answer, Lin Jianzhi happily smiled and walked into the high speed rail station without regrets.
Zhu Liheng watched her walk in the whole time until she was out of sight, and immediately opened Weibo.
Sure enough, she had posted again.
[If he leaves, what if I can't find him anymore?]
Zhu Liheng was completely confused.
Where was he leaving to?
Mars?
Unless he left Earth, Zhu Liheng really couldn't understand how she wouldn't be able to find him.
Their parents knew each other across multiple floors.
Zhu Liheng thought about it, a little worried about Lin Jianzhi's extreme lack of sense of security.
Going through his friends, it seemed like the only female was Ruan Tang?
He called Ruan Tang.
Zhu Liheng did not reveal the content of Lin Jianzhi's Weibo post, but relayed her situation and asked for a solution, preferably for Ruan Tang to communicate with her briefly.
In his opinion, since they were both girls, they should be able to communicate better.
But Ruan Tang's answer was unexpected: "I don't think she has any problems, the one with problems is you."
Zhu Liheng: "?"
Ruan Tang: "I can hear it, you're showing off your lovey-dovey relationship, right?"
Zhu Liheng was silent for a second, then asked: "One last question, what day is August 4th?"
Ruan Tang cursed loudly: "I knew you were showing off your relationship! If you want to celebrate Qixi Festival then do it! No need to show off! Hanging up!"
Looking at the hung up phone, Zhu Liheng suddenly understood.
