Chapter 45
Lin Jianzhi couldn't help but think of him as soon as she entered the station. She looked at the chat box on her phone, wanting to send something but not knowing what to say.
Would he dislike it if she spoke nonsense to him?
But unexpectedly, Zhu Liheng messaged her first.
'Zhu Liheng: Let me know when you arrive home, just to be safe.'
'Lin Jianzhi: Okay.'
Lin Jianzhi blushed, feeling as sweet as honey in her heart.
'I miss you so much, Zhu Liheng!'
After typing these words, she silently deleted them.
Zhu Liheng, on his way to the research lab, looked at the top of the chat box that said 'The other party is typing...' and waited for a while, but ended up waiting for nothing.
He thought for a moment and sent another message.
'Zhu Liheng: I will return to Jingyi on August 4th, for sure.'
Even if I haven't finished my work at the lab, I will make time to see you.
He wanted to reassure Lin Jianzhi.
Looking at the message on her phone, Lin Jianzhi's heart blossomed with sweetness.
The high-speed train was quick, and an hour later, she was already back home in Jingyi City.
Mu Yin and the others were still enjoying themselves in another city...
Her parents were at work and not at home.
Lin Jianzhi tidied up her room, humming a cheerful tune, and eagerly awaited her acceptance letter.
At the end of July, acceptance letters from B University started to be sent out.
It was already July 28th, and she expected it to arrive in these few days.
The happiest thing was undoubtedly being accepted to a top university and being in the same city as the person she liked.
She was even happier because her university was just across the street from Zhu Liheng's university.
Compared to her time in Jingyi and Yanling, Lin Jianzhi was actually more looking forward to her university life in Yanjing.
She could go to A University to see Zhu Liheng anytime.
Lost in her thoughts, Lin Jianzhi went from thinking about university life to thinking about Zhu Liheng and everything they experienced in Yanling.
It felt like a surprise of happiness had fallen from the sky!
She reached out and touched her flushed face, unable to shake off the sensation of Zhu Liheng's kisses coming to her mind.
He always wore a white shirt, but it never got boring.
It was especially tempting when her fingers caressed her own cheeks.
They were so close to...
"Oh, Xiaojian! You're back?" Suddenly, her mother's voice came from the doorway.
Lin Jianzhi was startled and turned pale.
When her mother came closer and saw her, she was taken aback and quickly comforted her, saying, "Were you scared yesterday? Oh my! Next time you enter that experimental area, leave your phone outside! You scared Mom to death. As long as you're okay!"
Lin Jianzhi nodded absentmindedly, feeling extremely nervous.
She never expected her mom to believe Zhu Liheng's casual remarks about the lab and electric balls. They almost caused a spark on the sofa!
In the following days, Lin Jianzhi waited for her acceptance letter while waiting for Zhu Liheng.
Her friends' moments and social media were filled with photos of classmates traveling all over the place.
Among them, one photo was spread everywhere.
It was the one where Zhu Liheng and Lin Jianzhi were holding hands at the entrance of the Yanling Dinosaur Park!
This time, Lin Jianzhi didn't explain anymore.
Everything was real. They were boyfriend and girlfriend, together.
On the morning of August 3rd, Zhu Liheng gave her a phone call. The background noise was loud, as if he was calling from a high-speed rail station.
"I'm coming back today," he said.
While Lin Jianzhi held the phone and spoke, she rushed to the wardrobe to find clothes. "You're coming back today? I thought it would be tomorrow!"
Zhu Liheng had a hint of a smile in his voice. "Yes, the things at the research lab are already finished. You today..."
He paused mid-sentence.
"What?" Lin Jianzhi's heart skipped a beat and rose to her throat.
She was incredibly nervous!
Zhu Liheng was direct. "Can you come out tonight?"
Lin Jianzhi blushed even more. "Um, yes, I can."
She quickly rummaged through the wardrobe, picking and choosing.
Zhu Liheng continued, "I have some errands to run during the day, and I'll come to pick you up at night."
Lin Jianzhi replied, "Okay."
Zhu Liheng hesitated again.
Lin Jianzhi held her breath, feeling incredibly anxious!
Zhu Liheng said, "Bring your ID."
Those words made Lin Jianzhi's face flush.
But she didn't refuse; instead, she softly said, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jianzhi paced nervously around the room, going back and forth like a madwoman.
She threw all the nice clothes onto the bed and tried various outfits.
Although there was still time, it felt urgent to her.
She had to carefully select her clothes from head to toe, put together the best ensemble, and then do her makeup and hairstyle.
Ah! Right!
If she was going to stay outside, she would need to come up with a reason to explain to her parents.
Lin Jianzhi suddenly became busy like a spinning top.
Two hours later, she put down her phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
Her parents didn't say much, assuming she was going on a trip to the neighboring city. They reminded her to stay safe.
So Lin Jianzhi started to quickly tidy herself up, making herself look attractive.
At four-thirty in the afternoon, her phone rang.
Lin Jianzhi practically jumped to answer it. "Hello!"
The person on the other end paused for a moment, then spoke, "Hello? Is this Lin Jianzhi?"
Lin Jianzhi blinked. "Oh, yes, it's me."
It wasn't Zhu Liheng calling. She had answered too hastily and didn't check the caller ID.
The phone call began with cheerful congratulations. "Congratulations, Lin Jianzhi! Your acceptance letter from B University has arrived! Come and pick it up!"
Lin Jianzhi expressed her surprise and gratitude several times before rushing out of the house.
At the entrance of the residential complex, there was a security booth.
The security guard stood under the scorching sun, proudly chatting with a delivery guy.
Delivery guy: "Your community has produced a student who got into B University. Impressive!"
Security guard: "We even have a provincial top scorer living here, studying in the physics department at A University!"
Delivery guy: "Wow! A University and B University, both covered!"
Security guard: "Good feng shui! You should buy a house here when you get married in the future."
Delivery guy: "I'll work hard!"
Lin Jianzhi happened to overhear their conversation as she ran over, feeling a bit embarrassed. She took the acceptance letter from them.
The security guard was particularly excited. "Here she is! A talented student has arrived!"
Delivery guy: "The young girl is really amazing!"
Lin Jianzhi repeatedly waved her hands, blushing, and said a few words to the two people before finding an excuse to slip away.
She was dying to know what her acceptance letter looked like!
As she walked, she eagerly tore open the envelope, and when she caught sight of the full name of University B, her mouth almost split from ear to ear.
At that moment, an Audi A6 drove into the neighborhood.
Lin Jianzhi glanced at the license plate and rushed over with joy, holding the freshly opened acceptance letter in her hand.
Zhu Liheng!
The Audi A6 also noticed her and stopped in place.
She hurried to the passenger side of the Audi A6, knocking on the door with a bright smile, while raising the acceptance letter high in her hand.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing two faces with equally radiant smiles.
It was Zhu Liheng's parents!
