Chapter 517: Think about it every day, dream about it at night
Chapter 517: Thinking during the day and dreaming at night
After buying clothes, Shu Lin and Gong Chengyu had dinner out together and went to see a movie together.
This is a youth campus movie with a very simple and beautiful plot. It is about love in college.
Shu Lin was watching, drinking milk tea and eating popcorn.
When she was in school, she was the kind of top-notch student who was obsessed with studying, so she never thought about falling in love. Now that she looks at such a young campus romance, she always feels a little regretful.
Because she was thinking about something, she didn't pay attention when she went to get the popcorn, and she and Gong Chengyu put their hands into the paper box.
The next second, she subconsciously looked over and met the man's eyes in the dim light.
In this dark environment, people's senses will be infinitely magnified, and she could feel the temperature of the man's fingertips very clearly.
Dong-dong-dong, she seemed to hear her own heartbeat in the noisy background of the movie.
Just when Shu Lin was about to take back her hand, Gong Chengyu squeezed her hand out and took a piece of popcorn from it with an indifferent expression.
Shu Lin was furious and lowered her voice: "Gong, do you know what it means to give priority to ladies?"
This man just took advantage of her confusion to grab popcorn from her. He really had no grace at all!
What made her even more angry was, why could he be so calm and composed when she was in a state of confusion?
Just when she was unhappy, the man stretched out his long finger and stuffed the popcorn on his fingertip into her mouth: "Isn't it just a popcorn? Look how anxious you are! Stingy!"
The sweet taste of popcorn spread in her mouth. When Shu Lin reacted, she realized that Gong Chengyu was feeding her just now? This is something only couples do!
She felt her face was burning. Fortunately, she was in a movie theater now, otherwise Gong Chengyu would notice something strange about her.
In fact, her worries were completely unnecessary. Gong Chengyu was also panicking inside, but he was just trying to stay calm on the surface.
Just now, he first touched her hand while taking popcorn, and felt that the woman's hands were really soft. But when he touched her lips again while feeding her, he realized that they could be softer!
The atmosphere was a bit awkward and ambiguous. Shu Lin randomly picked a topic: "After watching this movie, I suddenly regretted that I didn't have a pure love affair when I was in school."
Gong Chengyu was silent for a while, and then said in a strange tone: "Really? Although you and Su Lifei have not yet established a relationship, it is almost like falling in love."
"It's almost the same, but it's obviously a lot different, okay? I haven't even held his hand, so what kind of love is that?" Shu Lin immediately retorted.
But as soon as she said the words, she felt even more embarrassed because she had just touched Gong Chengyu's hand. Didn't this bring the topic back again?
At this moment, Gong Chengyu looked thoughtful and seemed to be thinking about it?
In order to divert his attention, Shu Lin immediately continued: "What about you? Didn't you also immerse yourself in studying back then? Don't you regret not having talked about it?"
"I...actually it's not bad. It's not bad to fall in love with my studies. At least my grades won't leave me." Gong Chengyu joked half-jokingly.
For some reason, when he heard her say that she had never held hands with Su Lifei, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
At that time, he was also the kind of academic who was obsessed with academics, and he was the same type of person as Shu Lin. After graduation, he even gave up his position as president of the Gong Group and became the principal of an elite university in order to continue to devote himself to scientific research. So for a scientific researcher like him, neither money nor women are attractive.
Shu Lin didn't know what was going on, and asked subconsciously: "Even if you weren't in love at that time, didn't you have a crush on any female classmate?"
Boys at that age have very strong hormone secretions, so who doesn’t have a white moonlight in their heart?
Gong Chengyu thought about it seriously, and then said: "No."
To be precise, the female classmate he paid most attention to throughout college was Shu Lin! Of course, it's just to compete with her for grades. They compete for the No. 1 spot all year round, and they fall out whenever they disagree!
After watching the movie, the two returned home together.
That night Gong Chengyu had a dream. He dreamed of some things that happened in college, and they flashed by like a movie scene.
At that time, Su Lifei had not gone abroad yet, so he and Shu Lin ate together every day and went to self-study together.
He stood in the corner and looked at them, thinking to himself, if this woman Shu Lin fell in love, wouldn't the top grader be his?
He should have been happy, but he couldn't be happy because he didn't want this unfair competition.
So before a certain final exam, Gong Chengyu called Shu Lin to the end of the corridor alone: "Shu Lin, I hope you don't fall in love and waste your studies."
Shu Lin looked at him inexplicably: "Gong, do you care if I fall in love? I won't date you anyway!"
Gong Chengyu explained to her with a serious face: "If you don't show your strength, then even if I win you it will be meaningless and there will be no sense of achievement at all."
Shu Lin was a little dumbfounded by his reason, but her eyes flashed and she took advantage of the situation and said: "Don't worry, Gong Chengyu, I can't give up competing with you for first place, because...because my family is very poor, and I don't even have breakfast." I can’t afford it anymore! The scholarship is very important to me. The first place will receive two thousand yuan more than the second place. Two thousand yuan is enough for my living expenses for one semester..."
After saying that, she raised her red eyes and glanced at him, looking very pitiful.
Gong Chengyu didn’t know where he was in the wrong situation at that time, but for the first time in his life, he felt compassion for this man.
Although he looked like a poor student in school, he was just pretending to be poor. He didn't expect that Shu Lin was really that poor!
So in that final exam, he accidentally failed to write an English composition, and the first place went to Shu Lin.
Not only that, he even secretly stuffed breakfast under her desk several times during exam review.
He felt that he was doing this to make her full, because only when she was full could she study with all her strength and compete with him well!
But soon, Gong Chengyu discovered that he had been deceived.
After school one day, he accidentally saw Shulin walking into a remote alley next to the school.
At first he was worried that she was in danger, so he followed her in secretly. Unexpectedly, she turned around and got into a limited edition luxury car! Later, he sent someone to investigate and found out that she was the eldest daughter of the Shu family! The reason why he looked very poor in school was because Su Lifei's family background was not good, so she didn't want him to feel too inferior!
After learning all this, Gong Chengyu felt that he was too stupid and ridiculous.
He didn’t tell Shulin about his deliberate betrayal, but he never wanted to let her go.
Although these things are dreams, they did happen that year. But at the end of the dream, the picture suddenly changed, which was exactly the opposite of the beginning of the dream. Gong Chengyu himself became the one who ate and studied with Shu Lin, just like a campus couple, while Su Lifei stood in the corner and watched them silently...
At this moment, Gong Chengyu woke up.
It was still dark outside. I checked my phone and found that I had only slept for two hours.
The experience in the dream seemed as long as several years had passed, so real and vivid.
Especially at the end of the dream, why did he suddenly turn into Su Lifei and accompany Shu Lin in the school? This is ridiculous!
Gong Chengyu closed his eyes again, but couldn’t fall asleep again...
