In fact, Lin Ze, who brought Meng Jiaqi, also felt a little embarrassed. For Lin Ze, Meng Jiaqi was a person he just met a few months ago.
At first, he just thought that he looked a little like Yingzhao. The memory of the first love whenheI was a teenager has long passed, but the goodwill left in his heart cant be erased.
So when Lin Ze saw Meng Jiaqi, who looked somewhat similar to Yingzhao, he naturally developed some good impressions of him.
After in-depth understanding, when he learned that Meng Jiaqi is a student of Shenglin College and that working in a bar is just a work-study program, and that he is not moved by money Lin Ze had a few more appreciations for him.
As for today, it was originally a small private gathering for them, and they didnt plan to bring Meng Jiaqi here. However, after Lin Ze inadvertently revealed it, Meng Jiaqi expressed his desire to participate.
After he heard that Lin Ze said that Yingzhao was a visiting professor at Sacred Forest College, he told Lin Ze that he had also taken Yingzhaos class and that he admired him very much.
He sincerely said to Lin Ze that he hoped to visit Yingzhao together, but Lin Ze couldnt resist Meng Jiaqis repeated pleas, so he brought him here.
But unsurprisingly, Yingzhao doesnt pay much attention to strangers.
Meng Jiaqi was very angry at Yingzhaos lukewarm attitude towards him, but when he thought of his purpose, he had to suppress his anger.
In order to ease the atmosphere at the dining table, Lin Ze hurriedly said to Yingzhao:
Xiaozhou, I heard that you were a visiting professor at the Holy Forest College recently, right? Which subject do you teach? Sure enough, among us Dr. Ying is still the most promising!
Yingzhao replied expressionlessly when he heard Lin Zes words:
I also said that it Im only a visiting professor. I only take a few classes a week, which are about mechanical engineering. The main teaching is practical skills. Havent you always been disinterested in this?
Meng Jiaqi knew that Lin Ze He was looking for a topic for him, he smiled gratefully at him, and hurriedly answered:
Professor Ying, I dont know if you have any impression of me. I am also a student of Sacred Forest Academy, and I have listened to your class! I have always admired you!
Yingzhao looked at Meng Jiaqis flattering face, his eyes flashed, and pretended to ask casually, Oh? So which major are you in?
Meng Jiaqi thought that Yingzhao wanted to chat with him, and immediately replied:
Its a biopharmaceutical major. Although it has nothing to do with machinery, I have always been interested in this, so I have also attended your class.
Yingzhaos memory has always been very good, and he has just come to St. Forestry College, and there were only two classes for students in total. Therefore, he naturally knew that Meng Jiaqi had never attended his class.
So he frowned and said to Meng Jiaqi with a puzzled look on his face:
But my course is only for students of this major. And, because the course is related to my experimental project, when doing practical exercises in the laboratory, you have to take a roll call first, and then the instructor will lead the team. You are a biopharmaceutical major, how could you possibly be able to take my class? (*hehe subtle yet makes a lot of damage)
Meng Jiaqi was stunned when he heard Yingzhaos words. Naturally, what he said was a lie. There were so many guest lecturers in the school, and there was no course that required such strict scrutiny.
Meng Jiaqi didnt expect that his lies would be exposed so easily, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while. Meng Jiaqis face turned red.
Then he looked at Yingzhao pitifully, matching his delicate appearance, as if Yingzhao was the one who did the wrong thing.
However, under the guidance of Yingzhao for many years, Lin Ze did not develop the habit of being foolish, and he was no longer the fool who would be easily deceived.
He naturally wouldnt think that Meng Jiaqi was right just because he pretended to be pitiful. On the contrary, because the other party behaved like this, his goodwill towards him decreased a bit.
Its just that after all this person was brought by him, so Lin Ze still had to smooth things out and said helplessly to Yingzhao:
Maybe Jiaqi remembered it wrong, Xiaozhou, dont mind.
Yingzhao blinked and looked carefully. After seeing Meng Jiaqis appearance, he turned to look at Lin Ze. Then he pushed his glasses stiffly, nodded to Meng Jiaqi.
Im sorry, I said something wrong just now. Ive never been good at communicating. If it embarrassed you, Im sorry.
Lin Ze grew up with Yingzhao from a young age, and he naturally knew that he had such a personality. Two friends couldnt help laughing when they saw Yingzhaos solemn apology, but actually stabbed the others spine twice.
Seeing this, Meng Jiaqi put away the pitiful expression on his face. He only felt that Yingzhao must have deliberately wanted to embarrass him, and his resentment towards him grew a little more.
After what happened just now, Meng Jiaqi didnt have anything to say at the dinner table so he sat there quietly eating the food in front of him.
On the other hand, Yingzhao had a pleasant conversation with a few childhood friends. Meng Jiaqi felt that there was an invisible wall between them, and he isolated himself.
The feeling of being isolated in this way made him feel uncomfortable, and he looked at Lin Ze beside him with some help. However, at this time, Lin Ze no longer took care of him as much as he used to, but turned a blind eye to his eyes for help.
Sure enough, the main lord came back, and the substitute became dispensable!
Meng Jiaqi couldnt help but remembered the days when he was abandoned in his last life. In his last life, it was because of this person that he was reduced to such an extent that he died so embarrassingly.
With all his hard work in his life, he finally won Lin Zes admiration and goodwill. How could he be so easily broken by Ying Zhao.
Thinking of this, Meng Jiaqi lowered his head, and fierceness flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth in his heart and said:Yingzhou, you forced me to do all this! (*Poor of the original Yingzhou, the only thing he did was literally exist)
On the other hand, Ying Zhao, who was chatting with his friends, felt the obvious malice beside him, but the corner of his mouth was slightly curved. It seems that someone cant help but want to send it to the door to kill him.
By the time everyones dinner was over, it was already completely dark. It was just that the sky suddenly thundered and flashed, and it also poured heavy rain.
Yingzhao had never liked to drive, and now it was getting late. The roads are sparsely populated, and I am afraid that it is not so easy to call a car.
Just as he was about to pick up his mobile phone and call Lin Bo, he saw Lin Ze walk up to the side, looked at the heavy rain outside the door, and said to Yingzhao, Ill take you back to Lins house in a while. Otherwise, I can call a car but in this weather, but I dont know when it will arrive.
Yingzhao glanced at Meng Jiaqi who was following him after hearing Lin Zes words. Lin Ze immediately understood what Yingzhao meant, turned his head and said apologetically to Meng Jiaqi:
Jiaqi, Im sorry. Because Xiaozhou didnt drive, Im going to take him back today. Can you go back by car?
Meng Jiaqi was embarrassed, looking at the pouring rain outside, and the streets that were not crowded, he could only helplessly nodd.
Naturally, Yingzhao was not polite to Lin Ze, after all, he did not have the habit of waiting for a car alone at the risk of rain. Whats more, he would not be willing to sacrifice himself to provide convenience for people like Meng Jiaqi.
So naturally, Yingzhao returned to Lins old house in Lin Zes car. Although it was very late, Lin Yiting hadnt slept. He had been waiting for Ying Zhao in the living room.
It was only when he saw Yingzhao coming back in Lin Zes car, the scene of the two of them talking and laughing hurt Lin Yitings eyes.
Lin Ze saw Lin Yiting who was waiting in the living room and greeted politely, Big brother.
Lin Yiting nodded without saying anything, but Lin Bo immediately took Yingzhao and Lin Zes coats and brought them back for them a towel.
Because it was already very late, Lin Zes room was naturally reserved in the Lin familys old house, so Lin Ze decided to temporarily rest there tonight and return to his home the next day.
In fact, even though Lin Ze and Yingzhao still kept in touch for so many years, Lin Ze had already understood that Yingzhao had only his big brother in his heart from beginning to end.
Therefore, he had already buried his admiration for Yingzhao in his heart, and turned it into a friendship for the other party.
He had not seen each other for many years, and he also wanted to have a long talk with Yingzhao. But seeing the gloom in Lin Yitings eyes when he looked at him, Lin Ze swallowed the words he was about to say, and obediently returned to the room alone.
Yingzhao looked at Lin Yiting like this, raised his eyebrows, but just returned to his room in silence.
When Lin Yiting saw that Yingzhao actually returned home and didnt even say hello to him, he felt a sense of loss in his heart.
He stared at Yingzhao Lis back and reached out his hand to stop him, but he didnt know how to say the words of retention.
In the end, Lin Yiting could only silently watch Yingzhao return to his room and close the door.
He lowered his eyes, trying to hide the sourness in his heart. Lin Yiting went back to the room and listened to the sound of the torrential rain outside, only to feel distraught.
He was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. However, the sound of the rain outside the window did not mean to stop at all. Instead, it became heavier and heavier with thunders and lightings.
Lin Yiting sat up a little annoyed and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but at this time he heard a knock on the door.
He looked at the door with some doubts, because it was already midnight, and generally no one would disturb him. After a moment of silence, the knocking on the door continued.
Just as Lin Yiting was hesitating and decadently not wanting to answer, Yingzhaos voice suddenly came from outside the door. He whispered into the house, Brother Yiting, are you asleep?
Lin Yiting heard Yingzhaos voice and immediately called to the door, Is it you angel? Come in, the door is unlocked!
Then there was the sound of the doorknob being twisted open. Yingzhao walked into the room holding the pillow, locked the door of the room, and ran to Lin Yiting in a hurry, and quickly got into his bed in front of him.
Lin Yitings bed has always been very spacious, so even after Yingzhao got up, it didnt seem crowded. Just facing Yingzhaos sudden behavior, Lin Yiting was a little stunned.
Seeing that he had already lied down next to him, got into his bed and only revealed his face Lin Yiting asked him dumbly: Xiaozhou, what are you doing?
