Chapter 129 1 Go deeper
Li Zhen realized that something was wrong with him because he used to set a countdown for every time they met, but even then he still felt that one hour was too long for him even though he was reluctant.
But recently, listening to her conversation, seeing how she treats people and handles situations, I find that she is actually more decent than the average person.
Especially when discussing things with her, she reacts quickly and intelligently, has a unique and novel perspective, broad and clear thinking, and of course, her values are upright and generous.
And all of this comes from her excellent upbringing, knowledge, insights and vision.
He initially disdained to acknowledge her erudition but later sincerely admired her. He even felt inferior to her in many aspects, and even most other people were inferior to her.
She does have many shortcomings of a spoiled daughter, but if you think about it carefully, many of them are just due to the differences in living and material levels.
The simplest example is that she spends tens of thousands of dollars to buy something, which may be a waste in his eyes, but in her cognition it is just a daily routine.
She is ignorant of grains and does not do any housework. She may be spoiled by him, but she has won various awards in domestic or international competitions in piano, horse riding, skiing, calligraphy and painting.
And just after he had these objective understandings and recognitions of her, he often found that the countdown seemed to be over not long after he met her.
When Li realized that he had turned off the countdown more and more often, and even deceived himself by secretly changing one hour to one hour and ten minutes, one hour and fifteen minutes, and one and a half hours... he panicked.
But when he adjusted it back to the original duration, he felt it was not enough, and then he made excuses, saying that the delay was because she ate too slowly, or that he had more time today, and he would definitely not do that again next time.
However, he did it again and again, but Lu Xingchen remained the same as before.
At the beginning, he would always leave at a certain time, and Lu Xingchen also strictly abided by this agreement. Even if she was halfway through a sentence and asked him to leave when the time came, she would immediately agree and rarely delayed.
Yes, she not only keeps her promises but is also punctual and is almost never late.
These are clearly advantages, but Li Zhen has been dissatisfied with this recently. He always secretly delays time, but she has never been reluctant to leave. When he says the time is up, she says see you next time and never tries to keep him.
There were even two times when she noticed that his alarm didn't ring when the time was up, and she took the initiative to ask him: "It seems that the time is up, did you forget to count down?"
Of course he couldn't admit that he had scheduled it for two hours, so he could only lie and say, "I forgot."
Her next sentence was: "Then you go back."
He had no choice but to leave, but when he reached the door he suddenly ran back for some unknown reason, excited and nervous, and decided to tell her that he had time today and give her another half an hour.
But there was no sign of Lu Xingchen at the place. He looked for a while and saw Lu Xingchen quickly got into a car outside the floor-to-ceiling window, leaving even faster than he did.
Li Zhen felt upset for the whole day because of this incident.
At this time, there was only half a month left before the three-month period was up, and Lu Xingchen did not show up for several days in a row. When she did show up, she was in a hurry. It was clearly the weekend, but she said the time was up an hour later, and left before he was embarrassed to remind her.
How could this be the look of her wanting to pursue him? !
Li Zhen had thought about whether she was playing hard to get as the deadline was approaching, but he learned from his classmates that Lu Xingchen was in training recently and was preparing to represent the school badminton team in the provincial youth competition.
Lu Xingchen is actually a returned overseas student specially recruited by Guangdong University. One of her identities is a gifted student. In her freshman year, she helped Guangdong University win the women's singles championship and the mixed doubles runner-up in the college badminton competition.
During the three-month period of pursuing him and having a trial relationship with him, not only was he busy with studies and starting a business, but Lu Xingchen was as well.
In addition to being busy with her studies, she also successfully published an academic paper entitled "Natural Language and Future AI". In addition to being published at Guangdong University, this paper has won awards on several well-known academic websites. The paper has also been included in the literature and has been used by many companies and individuals.
Li Zhen himself was also very good at studying, had successfully published papers, and had won many awards in the competitions he participated in, but when he heard about Lu Xingchen, a thought still popped up in his mind:
Why would a girl who is so outstanding, has such a good resume, and seems to have a very unusual family background fall for him?
Recently, because of Lu Xingchen's hot head, he forced himself to calm down under this thought. He made up his mind at the beginning that he would reject her without hesitation three months later, so why was he so worried about her recently? He and she were from two different worlds.
Li Zhen was determined to break up with Lu Xingchen. Even in the first two days, he was full of confidence, just waiting for Lu Xingchen to ask him out and then reject her harshly to show his determination.
But a few days passed and Lu Xingchen still didn't contact him, which had never happened since she started pursuing him.
If she had given up because she saw his unwavering resolve, then he would have been relieved.
But she left without even saying a word. Did she find that he wasn't as good as she imagined during their time together and she no longer liked him?
It's very contradictory. I never believed that she liked him before, but now it's hard to accept that she doesn't like him anymore.
Li Zhen felt a tightness in his chest. It was clear that the relationship had not started yet, but he inexplicably felt uncomfortable and unwilling to be abandoned.
Then he couldn't help but reflect on himself, wondering if he was too cold, too passive, and too shabby when he was with her?
Right, he used to make things difficult for her as a way to pass the time every time they met, and he took pleasure in asking her to do things she had never done before and eat things she had never eaten before, not to mention buying her gifts. So don't say you don't like Lu Xingchen, it's very likely that you are annoyed by him.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and finally he came to the conclusion, is it too late to remedy the situation now?
As soon as this thought came to Li Zhen, he felt like he was crazy!
His original intention was to break up the friendship!
Li Zhen, who was experiencing this kind of torture for the first time, changed his clothes and ran ten laps around the playground in one breath. However, at the beginning of the eleventh lap, he suddenly left the circular track and ran out, as if from that moment on, he had left the track of his own safety zone.
When he arrived near the gymnasium where Lu Xingchen was training, he was still conflicted. He wanted to give himself an excuse that he was just running and didn't want to enter the gym, but then he saw Lu Xingchen.
Under the setting sun, in the basketball court surrounded by iron nets, the man who was said to be in training was now playing a half-court basketball game of three-on-three with others on the court.
Three girls and three boys.
Her team consists of two women and one man, and the other team consists of two men and one woman.
The two girls in their team are both good at playing, but the boys are not so good.
Three players from the other team all played well, and with two boys as the main attackers, Lu Xingchen's team found it a bit difficult to play, but that did not prevent Lu Xingchen from performing well. She dribbled past opponents skillfully, passed the ball to her teammates, ran to receive the ball and made a layup!
Li Zhen looked at him and couldn't help but smile coldly.
Isn't this a training camp?
Aren't you so busy that you don't even have time to send him a text message?
Why do you have so much fun playing with others?
Looking at the scene in front of him, he was almost certain that Lu Xingchen didn't want to bother with him anymore, and he also wanted to leave before she found out. However, the unwillingness and reluctance in his heart made him resolutely walk to their sidelines and sit down on the bench outside the court.
Because it was the training center and there weren't many people there, he watched for about seven or eight minutes. The girl from Lu Xingchen's team put one hand on her waist and said to the people on the field, "It's no good. I just ran 10 kilometers and I can't keep going. I can't play anymore."
The other party, as the winner, was obviously not satisfied. Several people looked towards the sidelines, and then the tallest boy waved to him, "Classmate, do you want to play two games together?"
It was only at this time that Lu Xingchen noticed him standing on the sidelines. She was slightly stunned at first, then she smiled and waved her hand to greet him.
Li Zhen hesitated for a moment with a cold face, then stood up from the bench and walked towards the court.
