Her tablemate was still on the side and tirelessly reported: "Our classmates are saying that you two are really in love."
Her head was next to Jiang Ling's head, "It was at the KTV that day. After you went out, Zhao Xiaoyu and the others happened to go out to the bathroom. When she came back, she said that she saw you and Lin Qing Kai standing in the corridor, looking very ambiguous. She also said that you went to their private room or something."
Jiang Ling admitted: "Yes."
Her tablemate's eyes lit up, looking more excited as if she was the one who fell in love: "Then what?"
"Then nothing." Jiang Ling whispered.
Her tablemate comforted her: "It's okay. I think Lin Qing Kai likes you too."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Her tablemate changed a positive tone, "This kind of thing is clear to bystanders, I have read so many romance novels, I can still see this thing."
She is about to analyze further when the headteacher walked in with a thermos cup in his hand: "So noisy! The whole corridor can hear your noise! The mid-term exam is about to come and you still act like this!"
There was no sound in the room.
Her tablemate stuck out her tongue, and she continued to read her romance novels.
In that self-study session, the teacher repeatedly emphasized the importance of the mid-term exam on the podium, and Jiang Ling was absent-minded about the math problems.
Sometimes, she did feel that Lin Qing Kai liked her a little. But most of the time, it is always uncertain.
She looked at the brightly lit teaching building opposite, remembering that before leaving that morning, he held her chin and bowed his head to kiss her.
There is a clear smell of toothpaste on his lips and tongue.
They haven't seen each other for several days.
Suddenly there were more schoolwork to do and coupled with her decisiveness, Jiang Ling wanted to hide.
On this day, the evening self-study is over, and her tablemate is going to the canteen to buy ice cream, so she went along with her.
She had a hunch that Lin Qing Kai and the others will be there at this time.
She smiled when she saw him.
Among the bunch of boys gathered around, Lin Qing Kai stood with his back to her. He has a narrow waist and long legs, and he still looks lazy and outstanding.
The group of boys were laughing and being loud.
Jiang Ling was a little expectant and a little nervous. But when she approached, he didn't look back.
Too embarrassed to call him, Jiang Ling followed the students in the canteen.
She found an ice cream casually and then looked out through her head. Lin Qing Kai was no longer there.
Queuing to check out, she hesitated a few times and couldn't help sending out a message.
Soon, Lin Qing Kai called back.
"Where did you see me?" His voice was low, mixed in the summer night wind. The background is still the laughter of some boys.
Jiang Ling answered.
He asked again: "Still shy?"
She hummed. He heard one or two booing occasionally over the other side, but she didn't know what the yelling was about.
Lin Qing Kai smiled and said, "Come, I'll take you out to play."
He seems to be in the court outside.
Not far away.
Jiang Ling walked around and heard the melodious laughter when she got closer. The street lights are slightly dim, and she could see the boys laughing and playing.
That's the kind of youthfulness that belongs exclusively to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
