Chapter 49

Jian Mei held his breath and was a little nervous. Finally, he lightly opened his lips and finally said, "I love you."

Lu Xingli's original action of turning the pages of the book paused.

The young man sitting at the desk seemed to be suddenly frozen. He was not someone who had no knowledge of human affairs since he was a child, and of course he understood the meaning of this sentence. He asked, "What did you say."

And this short question, inexplicably made Jane, who thought nothing of it, even more nervous.

He wanted to explain: "I, what I mean is actually..."

Lu Xingliang spoke one step ahead of him: "Did you have dinner with your friends and drink?"

Jane was stunned.

"No, I didn't drink." Jian Mei said honestly.

Lu Xing raised his eyebrows: "Then how to say this, someone taught you?"

If this phone call was made with someone else, there might be some ambiguity, but it was Lu Xing, who was like an old father, and what he got was education.

Jian Mei said with a guilty conscience: "No, I lost in Truth or Dare. This is punishment."

Lu Xing snorted and said nothing.

Just when Jian Mei was still thinking, Lu Xingliang's voice rang from the other end of the phone: "Then let's play, rest early after dinner, and say hello to my classmates for me."

Jian Mei: "Huh?"

Communication was hung up.

The classmates in the room looked at him. Lu Xingli's handling was so decent and graceful. Although he didn't reveal too much information, it also made everyone very curious. Come over: "Mimi, who is this from you?"

"His voice is nice."

"You blushed just now."

Jian Mei reacted slowly, he touched his cheek without realizing it, and said doubtfully, "Is there?"

Xiao Pang chuckled lightly, came over and sighed and said, "I thought you were a straight man and wouldn't be moved by ordinary people. It turns out that finding the right partner is the most important thing. I understand."

Jian Mei glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about, that's a friend of mine, I've known each other for a long time."

Xiao Pang suddenly realized: "This is Big Zhuang Brother!"

God, hearing this name is so down-to-earth. In Jian Mei's usual description, the life of Big Zhuang is so miserable. He knows that he has such a friend, but he always thinks that this is some kind of country spirit boy. Ah, damn it, just heard the voice, where is the spirit boy, is he clearly the overbearing president! But why does the boss call this name, it is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who hear it!

Jian Mei nodded: "I blushed, maybe it's a little hot in the room, you guys eat first, I'll go to the bathroom."

Little Fatty said, "Go, go."

However, compared to Jian Mei, who was teased, he could use the heat in the house to force himself to find a reason to comfort himself, while Lu Xingliang, who was sitting alone at the desk by the other half, fell into a brief silence, placing the case file at hand. For a long time, he hadn't been able to turn another page forward. His eyes stayed on the page, but his attention was not at all.

In fact, it is far from being as calm as it appears during the call. The habitual disguise is just a subconscious reaction, but of course, the actual inner state is of course the only one who knows best. The blank, the self-control that I should always be proud of, actually cracked at that moment,

If you ask yourself, of course it is not that he has never been confessed, on the contrary, from the time he can remember, there are not many people who have shown affection to him, but he has not been interested in these since he was a child, and of course he cannot have any reaction. He thought it was. His personality is dictated by his personality, but just now, for a moment, it was a feeling that he had never felt before. Of course, he is not a fool and will find excuses and reasons for himself, which is why he sits here in a daze the reason.

for nothing else—

Just because he clearly understood one point, this child Jian Mei, no matter what, has grown up in the end.

...

the other side

As soon as Jian Mei came out of the bathroom, she met the monitor Meng Ting who was standing against the wall around the corner.

Jian Mei paused to look at him: "Squad leader?"

Meng Ting raised her head: "Mimi."

"Well." Jian Mei said, "Why are you here, monitor, are you also going to the toilet?"

Meng Ting's palms were sweating unconsciously. She said, "Well... yes, me too."

Jian Mei smiled and said, "Then go."

Seeing that the man was about to leave, Meng Ting hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, wait a minute!"

Jian Mei looked back at her with some doubts: "What's wrong?"

Meng Ting can't say what happened to her. She is very nervous. She knows that Jane doesn't like anyone, but she is not reconciled. What if, if, feelings can be cultivated slowly. I would like to try it with her.

so

She finally said: "That, ignorant, I actually have some things that are inconvenient to say in school, but in fact, I have always been grateful to you."

Jian Mei blinked suspiciously, then thought for a while, and then tentatively said, "Squad leader, are you talking about something from your first year of high school?"

Meng Ting nodded.

In fact, although her family's family background is good, Meng Ting's education since childhood is relatively feudal and conservative, and she is also a little girl who loves to save face and be strong. remember that day the head teacher said that she would run for class cadre. She had been preparing for a long time, but what she did not expect was, She was so nervous before going on stage that she actually hiccupped.

It was so embarrassing at the time!

It was about time for her to speak, but she kept hiccups. After meticulously reciting the speech for a long time, it would be a blank in her mind. She thought that for a while, she might not say she was successful in the election, and she might even face being punished. The risk of ridicule, the whole person is not very good, that day, that is, at this time, she met Jian Mei.

It was also a freshman, and the teenager who was not familiar with her kindly asked her: "Are you uncomfortable?"

Meng Ting's face was flushed red, and her fidgeting appearance was indeed misleading. She wanted to shake her head, but who knew she hiccupped. , but to her surprise, Jian Mei didn't laugh at her. On the contrary, he just froze for a moment, and then comforted her: "It's okay, relax."

Meng Ting took a deep breath.

Jian Mei's hands were a little cold, but her fair and slender fingers were very beautiful. He held Meng Ting's hand, as if to help her press some acupuncture points. Meng Ting's anxious heart: "This is all right, it is the normal flow of Qi and blood in the body, don't be nervous, it will be fine soon."

She looked into his eyes, so peaceful and clear, that she unconsciously fell into a trance.

Jane said, "Okay."

Meng Ting was surprised that she was able to wander at such a time, but when she came back to her senses, she realized that she really didn't burp: "Really... okay?"

Jian Mei smiled: "Really."

The squad leader just called her name, and she didn't even have time to say thank you and was about to take the stage. Later, she learned that Jian Mei was also one of the candidates that day. As a competitor, he chose to help without hesitation. I, some people's appearances are too amazing, and they are destined to leave a heavy trace in the trajectory of life.

Standing in the corridor of the hotel, Meng Ting pulled away from her memories. She tugged at the corner of her clothes, finally overcoming her nervousness, and said softly, "Actually, you should understand what I mean..."

Jian Mei was stunned for a while, and then nodded neatly: "Understood."

Meng Ting raised her head suddenly, her eyes shining brightly: "Really?"

Jane said, "Really."

I really didn't expect the squad leader to remember a job from two years ago for so long, and now even if it's a birthday, he has to find his own separate thanks.

"You, did you misunderstand something?" Meng Ting hesitated and confirmed again: "I actually want to express my feelings to you."

Jane said, "I know."

Meng Ting was hesitant at first, then ecstatic: "Really, what do you mean?"

"Actually, monitor, you don't need to be so formal, I understand what you mean." Jian Mei felt that the monitor seemed to have magnified her credit, so she wanted to give Meng Ting some affirmation: "Because the monitor seemed to behave a little before... um , more strict, so I didn't even have a chance to tell you, I always felt that even without my help that day, you would definitely be selected, so you don't need to thank me, because you are really good, and I am very Appreciate yours."

excellent

Are you complimenting yourself?

Meng Ting's face turned red uncontrollably. She didn't expect to see that Jian Mei didn't speak very often, but her words were quite provocative: "Then, if you understand, we will..."

Jian Mei thought that she finally regained her confidence, so she smiled happily: "Then let's get along well after that."

Meng Ting's heart blossomed with joy. She was very grateful for her confession today. Sure enough, she would have a good result if she went all out. Now she finally communicated with her sweetheart very sweetly: "Yeah!"

Jane said: "Then I'll go back first."

Meng Ting nodded and said, "At night... are you going to take me home at night?"

Jian Mei doesn't know where the squad leader's ideas come from, they are not on the way!

"I made an appointment with Xiaopang to go to his house to sleep at night." Jian Mei said with some doubts: "Monitor, if your parents don't come to pick you up, let's take a taxi for you."

The sweetness in Meng Ting's heart was washed away a little. She didn't expect that it would be bad to get a job, but she would not give up, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll just call my dad, don't worry."

Jian Mei then smiled: "That's good."

The two of them went back one after the other, and the classmates in the class all looked sideways, looking at each other thoughtfully, trying to dig out some gossip from the two of them.

Cai Zhenzhen's friend Xiao Fei said, "Zhenzhen, don't tell me the squad leader is going to confess."

Cai Zhenzhen ate the cake: "Meng Ting has always been quite timid, isn't she a self-proclaimed artistic talent, she usually wants to turn around like a poem when she says something, if she confesses, I can't imagine what she would say. "

Xiao Fei was a little worried: "Then will she succeed?"

After all, when the two of them just saw Meng Ting come back, their faces were rosy and happy.

Cai Zhenzhen shook her head affirmatively: "No."

Xiao Fei asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"Because there is no such concept in Jane's mind at all, even if Meng Ting confesses, as long as she doesn't hit a straight ball, Jane may think that people want to swoop and be brothers with him." Cai Zhenzhen rolled her eyes: "You will always be Can't understand straight men's thinking."

As she spoke, she glanced at the child sitting in a group of people who were laughing and communicating not far away.

Over the years, it can be seen with the naked eye that Jane has grown more and more, from a thin and weak child to a young man who is in the wind. In junior high school, this child was a little introverted and restrained. Now it seems that he can gradually integrate into the school, but even if he has slowly When he is cheerful, he can get along with people with ease, but he still has his own persistence and attitude towards life. In fact, he has a very gentle character that does not like to be noisy. He usually likes to be alone. Reading books, habitually living in their own world.

At first, Cai Zhenzhen felt that such people were boring.

But later, when she learned about the history of So Jian Mei's treatment in the hospital for so many years, she always looked at Jian Mei who was reading alone when no one was around, as if she could see through the teenager sitting at the table. To the appearance of the skinny child sitting alone on the hospital bed reading a book.

He has lived like that since he was a child.

He had to get used to living like that when the other kids were playing around.

Sometimes, Jian Mei's brain circuit is sometimes different from everyone else's. She always thought that this child was so stupid before, but then she realized that it was because he had no experience, he had no friends, and he had never been integrated into the group. He was still six years old. He was admitted to the hospital when he was young and ignorant, and he did not spend the life of an ordinary child.

Cai Zhenzhen took a sip of the fruit wine: "If you want to wait for him to wake up, you will have to wait for at least a few years."

Xiaofei said, "Zhenzhen, you know more about Jane than Tingting."

Cai Zhenzhen smiled and said nothing.

How long has it been since Meng Ting, she has been here for a long, long time, in terms of time and qualifications, how can this little girl compare to herself?

...

evening

Jian Mei washed up at Fatty's house, and lay on the bed to send a message to Lu Xingwang that he was safe.

Fatty came over and said, "Mimi, who are you sending a message to?"

Jian Mei replied, "Brother Da Zhuang."

"Tsk" Xiaopang said in a meaningful and elongated tone: "Tian Tian is a big and strong brother. Let me tell you, if you have such perseverance and perseverance to pick up a girl, you will definitely not worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law."

Jane put away her phone and said, "I don't plan to marry a wife."

Little Fatty was stunned: "What did you say, Mi Mi?"

"Really." Jian Mei was wearing aqua blue cartoon pajamas, he leaned on the pillow, his face was so calm: "Because you know my body, my disease is not completely cured, although the results of the review are all It's okay, but there is a possibility of recurrence at any time, I can't give the girl a stable future, and I don't want to delay others."

Xiao Pang felt a little uncomfortable: "Don't think like that. I think technology will be more developed in the future, and your disease will definitely be cured."

Jian Mei showed a smile to him, obviously he was the one being comforted, but he always gave him a feeling of healing: "Well, thank you."

Xiaopang was a little embarrassed, but he still wanted to comfort his brother, so he said a little more: "Don't worry, it's really not possible. If you really can't marry a wife, you can find a husband!"

"..."

A question mark slowly appeared on Jian Mei's head.

Little Fatty joked: "I think Big Zhuang is pretty good, how did you guys meet?"

Jian Mei said, "Don't be joking, you're just a friend, um... I know him on WeChat, so he's a netizen, but although he hasn't met, he's a very nice person."

Speaking of WeChat, Xiao Pang glanced at Jian Mei's mobile phone: "Speaking of ignorance, what brand is your mobile phone, I have never seen it, and I heard from Zhen Zhen and the others that you have been using a mobile phone for four years. , aren't you stuck, the system is old too."

"I don't know what brand it is, maybe it's a random brand." Jian Mei picked up the mobile phone that has been with him for many years: "It won't be old, it works very well, and it doesn't get stuck at all."

Xiaopang sighed with emotion: "A copycat machine is a cow."

Jian Mei followed and smiled. They chatted together for a long time, and finally fell asleep. He didn't know that he had a good night's sleep, but some people didn't rest well all night.

When Zuo Qingshan saw Lu Xingliang, he exclaimed: "Your Highness, I heard that you came to give them extra training last night, and you didn't sleep all night?"

Lu Xing raised his eyebrows to look at him: "Is there any problem?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that." Zuo Qingshan touched his nose: "But can your body hold up?"

Lu Xingli ignored him.

Zuo Qingshan felt that this person didn't eat on time or sleep on time every day, so he said, "You can't go on like this. Be careful, I will make small reports with your children."

Anyway, he can't control His Royal Highness, but someone can control it. Jian Mei has a small mouth and asks if you are afraid.

Lu Xingliang glanced at him threateningly, and finally made people shut up.

He is shooting archery, which is his best item, but today, as if Zuo Qingshan said, his grades were unexpectedly bad, and he still missed a target.

Zuo Qingshan came over: "What's wrong with you, why are you always distracted today?"

Lu Xinglang put down his bow: "It's nothing."

"Tsk." Zuo Qingshan muttered softly as he watched his leaving back: "If I hadn't known that you were single at an older age, I would have wondered if you had recently lost your love."

Lu Xingliang paused, then walked out the door.

Although Zuo Qingshan is just talking nonsense, what cannot be refuted is that his mistake today is related to Jian Mei. He thought that the words last night had little effect on him. Who knows that there is no sleepiness at all at night. After training in the army for a night, he still has some distractions. This is not a good phenomenon. Being in the royal family, emotions are the biggest taboo. Now at such a juncture, he can't be distracted. His reason has always been what he should think. The proud thing, he didn't allow himself to fall off the chain at a critical period.

never mind

He thought, let's reduce the contact for the time being, give him some time to clear his mind, and let Jian Mei get along better with his friends.

Such a decision is good for both of them.

...

the next day

Jane was woken up by a phone call early in the morning.

He didn't expect that it was the squad leader who called. He picked it up in a circle and heard the squad leader's voice: "Mimi, I have something for you, can you go out today?"

Jane was puzzled: "What?"

Meng Ting is a little shy. After all, a girl is embarrassed when she wants to go on a date for the first time: "Keep it a secret first, I'll tell you when you come."

Jian Mei was helpless: "That's fine."

Fatty also woke up: "What's the matter?"

"The squad leader said he had something for me, like meeting at the mall." Jian Mei yawned: "Is it pretty close to your house? I don't have a car, so you can drive me there."

Fatty nodded: "Then you invite me to dinner."

Jian Mei is very generous: "No problem, let's go to eat after we get our stuff."

Xiao Pang quickly got up to wash and followed Jian Mei. Today was the weekend, and there were many people in the mall. Meng Ting finally waited for Jian Mei, and when she saw Xiao Pang next to her, she couldn't hold the smile on her face.

Jane said: "What do you want to give me, monitor?"

Meng Ting couldn't take out the things in her pockets in front of Xiaopang, so she could only temporarily pull out the reason: "Well, because you all helped me a lot before, I want to invite you to dinner."

Xiaopang said, "Monitor, you are too polite."

Meng Ting smiled embarrassingly.

Jian Mei said: "It's really polite, but since everyone is here, let me invite you to eat. What do you want to eat?"

"It's all right."

The two answer together.

Jian Mei wanted to say yes, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a child stumbled and walked. There was an uneven floor in front of him, and he was about to fall, so he quickly walked over to help him. After the child stood still, he turned around, but didn't. Carefully bumped into a passerby coming from behind, so I bowed my head and apologized: "I'm sorry."

The middle-aged man wearing a mask shook his head and left.

Jian Mei glanced at him more and felt a little strange.

Fatty came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Jian Mei shook her head gently: "Let's go upstairs to eat."

Xiao Pang responded quickly, although he didn't know why the monitor was weird, but it was not very happy to be able to eat and eat, and he also cared about what to do. The three discussed it and finally decided to eat hot pot and went to the top floor. After finding a hot pot restaurant and being seated, the waiter said, "The three of you can scan the QR code on your mobile phone to order."

Jian Mei nodded, and he subconsciously took out his mobile phone from his pocket, but soon, his movements froze in place.

Fatty and Meng Ting asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Jian Mei's face slowly became ugly, and then he quickly flipped through other pockets. Finally, the despair in his eyes became stronger and stronger. Finally, he raised his face and his eyes were red: "I seem to have lost my phone."
