Lingzi is not too cold today

Chapter 61 In this world, there are not many people who treat me well
"It's time, you can hand it in."

In class, the finance teacher assigned some calculation questions as quizzes.

The content of the homework is relatively simple, nothing more than the conversion of currency exchange rates between different countries, as well as some fill-in-the-blank and question-and-answer questions.

Students place their homework on the podium one by one.

When Zhong Lingzi was handing in his homework, he accidentally glanced at Gongsun Jin and found that he was holding a pen in his hand.

There are very few people who insist on writing with a pen these days.

Gel pens are still more popular than fountain pens that leak ink like a disaster.

Gongsun Jin likes fountain pens purely because of the habits of his previous life.

When practicing handwriting with a pen, there is a sharp edge, and the handwriting is beautiful.

Zhong Lingzi didn't think it was strange, and when he left by mistake, he handed in his homework.

She glanced at the homework on the podium, the three characters Gongsun Jin, strong and powerful, very beautiful running script.

She felt a little familiar, and carefully looked at the handwriting of his fill-in-the-blank questions and quizzes, and felt that those fonts and the gloss of the ink seemed familiar.

When she returned to her seat, she suddenly realized that the handwriting on her previous bursary application form was exactly the same as that written by Gongsun Jin.

No, what is going on?
The more Zhong Lingzi thought about it, the more strange he felt.

After class, Gongsun Jin walked out of the classroom with a book in her arms, ready to go to the cafeteria to work part-time.

"Gongsun Jin, wait a minute."

Zhong Lingzi stopped him and trotted over.

"Is something wrong?"

"Did you write that word on my bursary application form?"

Zhong Lingzi was puzzled.

"Well, it's me."

Gongsun Jin didn't intend to hide it.

"what happened?"

Zhong Lingzi frowned slightly.

"I'll go back to the dormitory first, are you waiting for me downstairs?"

Gongsun Jin thought about it and decided to tell the truth.

"Row."

Gongsun Jin returned to the dormitory, took out the crumpled application form from the drawer, and handed it to her downstairs.

"Here is your original application form."

Zhong Lingzi took the ball of paper, thoughtful.

"Zhuang Xiaomeng gave this to me when he was chatting with me."

"She found it in a trash can."

After Gongsun Jin finished speaking, Zhong Lingzi suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

"That day she went to fetch water outside the corridor, and saw Ai Shuyu from our dormitory submitting a bursary application form."

"The class committee still finds it strange why there is only one."

"While passing the trash can, she saw Ai Shuyu throwing a ball of paper."

"This is it."

As Gongsun Jin said, she pouted at the crumpled application.

"I see."

When Zhong Lingzi heard this, his eyes flickered slightly.

"So, that application form later?"

"I asked Ouyang Rui for a copy, wrote it for you, and handed it in."

"Then it happened that I went to participate in the bursary selection, and I gave you a very high score."

Gongsun Jin said calmly.

Zhong Lingzi pursed his lips lightly when he heard the words, grateful in his heart, but still gave him a suspicious look.

"We don't seem to know each other very well."

"Why are you……"

The lack of love since she was a child made her extremely wary of outsiders.

Even if someone is kind to her, she will suspect that there are malicious needles hidden in the cotton of their kindness.

"Because you need that money very much."

"Bursaries are meant to go to those who need it most."

Gongsun Jin took it for granted, her eyes were pure and pure.

"Thank you, Gongsun Jin."

Zhong Lingzi looked into his eyes and thanked him sincerely.

She needed the money, badly.

"It's okay, I'm going to work."

Gongsun Jin didn't care, he just thought he had done a trivial thing.

Go back to the stall in the cafeteria and continue working.

On the way back to the dormitory, Zhong Lingzi took the crumpled application form and laughed at herself.

After entering the door, Ai Shuyu concentrated on reading the book and writing notes.

The head of the dormitory has been unknown in the dormitory, and he rarely talks.

The first impression that people give people is that they keep their ears shut and only read the books of sages and sages.

Speak softly and take your time.

It's hard to imagine that she would be such a person.

"Ai Shuyu, I have something to say to you alone."

Zhong Lingzi looked at the other two in the dormitory, and said softly.

"What's the matter, can't you say it in person?"

Ai Shuyu's pen tip paused slightly, and her voice was calm.

"Okay, then I'll say it directly."

"You, do you hate me? What did I do in the dormitory that displeased you?"

Zhong Lingzi was also thinking about whether he had offended her somewhere, violated her taboo.

Lin Na and Hu Jing looked over, a little surprised.

"No, everyone's personality is different. You just don't like to talk, how can I hate you?"

Ai Shuyu looked back at her, speaking sincerely.

Meeting those eyes can even breed self-doubt and guilt.

Zhong Lingzi stared at her eyes, trying to find something in her eyes.

Ai Shuyu didn't avoid her eyes, the two just looked at each other.

After a long time, Zhong Lingzi said leisurely, "I liked lying very much when I was young."

"Whenever I lie, I look the person in the eye and don't look back."

"Because I know that the more guilty a person is, the less he dares to look him in the eye."

"So I did the opposite, just like you are doing now."

Zhong Lingzi pursed her lips.

When Ai Shuyu heard this, her eyes became briefly flustered.

"If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself."

"Every time I lie like you, I will repeatedly hint to myself that what I am telling is not a lie, it is the truth."

"But, no matter how pretending it is, a fake can't become real."

"What do you mean? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Ai Shuyu said, making a puzzled and surprised expression.

Seeing her innocent expression, Zhong Lingzi suddenly smiled.

"Snapped!"

A slap caught off guard, very crisp.

Hu Jing was stunned, Lin Na was startled, and forgot to watch the variety show on her phone.

Zhong Lingzi raised his chin slightly, his gaze was cold and haughty.

Ai Shuyu stared at her blankly, covering her face with her hands.

The hot and swollen face, with a strong sense of humiliation, made her startled and angry.

"you?"

Zhong Lingzi took out the application form for the bursary for poor students.

"Why don't you explain?"

"Um?"

Ai Shuyu panicked all of a sudden, her eyes flickering again and again.

"I didn't offend you, did I?"

"Why, are you throwing my application in the trash?"

Zhong Lingzi questioned.

Lin Na and Hu Jing looked at each other with astonishment.

Ai Shuyu faltered, unable to speak.

"You put Lin Na's mobile phone in my suitcase too?"

Zhong Lingzi tilted his head and continued to ask.

Lin Na frowned when she heard this, and looked at Ai Shuyu with vigilance.

"no!"

Ai Shuyu flatly denied it.

"You don't have to rush to deny it, yes or no, I already have the answer in my heart."

After Zhong Lingzi finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and prepared to call the police.

"Fingerprints can be stored for more than a week. Check who's fingerprints are on Lin Na's phone case, and the truth will be revealed."

At first she didn't want to pursue it, but this incident damaged her reputation in school.

Many people spread false rumors, which caused many people in the class to have a very bad impression of her, and they often talked about her in private.

"Don't! Don't! Don't call the police!"

Ai Shuyu panicked and began to pray.

If this incident becomes serious, she may not be able to stay in school in the future.

If you are demerited, the postgraduate entrance examination and evaluation of excellence will be useless.

Zhong Lingzi pressed three buttons in front of her, and finally hovered his finger on the answer button.

"I did it, don't call the police."

Ai Shuyu lowered her head, swallowing softly, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

"Shu Yu, why are you doing this?"

Lin Na was very shocked, looking at her with some fear.

With such a roommate, no one can guarantee whether there will be other moths in the future.

"That is, why did you wrong me in the first place?"

Hu Jing was also very angry.

"sorry Sorry!"

Ai Shuyu apologized while crying.

"What's the use of being sorry? I hate people saying sorry to me the most."

"I'll chop off your legs, and after I'm sorry, I'll give you a pair of wheelchairs. Do you still want to thank me?"

"This matter must be resolved. Let the counselor know. It's not private."

A quarter of an hour later, the counselor's office.

Xiong Yan had a private conversation with Zhong Lingzi and Ai Shuyu.

Based on the principle of not wanting to make things big, the final result is still private.

I gave Ai Shuyu a demerit and sanction, but it was not made public. If there is no violation of discipline within two years, the demerit and punishment will be cancelled.

At the same time, let Ai Shuyu apologize to Zhong Lingzi.

The counselor also specially sent a notice in the professional group to clarify for Zhong Lingzi.

"The stealing of the mobile phone is a rumor. This incident has caused a lot of trouble for student Zhong Lingzi. Please don't speculate for no reason. You must bear legal responsibility for spreading rumors and spreading inappropriate facts to infringe the reputation of others."

Three other people in the dormitory also testified together, accusing those who fabricated the facts.

So far, this matter has come to an end.

Zhong Lingzi was not very satisfied with the results of the counselor's handling, but she also knew that she couldn't get more.

Once something happens in the major, whether it is the counselor, the department head, or the dean, they will only think about pressing down.

When the four people left the counselor's office, they had different moods.

Zhong Lingzi was still the same as before, walking alone, going down the stairs very fast, leaving the other three far behind.

A lot of things, she thought it was over.

But it doesn't.

On the campus forum, there was a topic related to the beauty of each department.

Beautiful girls in various majors will be mentioned.

The people mentioned the most were Lin Xijun, Zhuang Xiaomeng, and Zhong Lingzi.

"Zhong Lingzi is really beautiful. I saw her up close. Her skin is super good."

"I've also seen that many people from online shops that sell clothing have asked her to be a model."

"As soon as she joined the music club, there were sophomores and juniors chasing after her."

"Is she still single?"

"Single, she said she wouldn't fall in love."

At this time, a person who claimed to be Zhong Lingzi's high school classmate made a comment.

"I know her from high school with her, she was a celebrity in our high school. Her mother is quite rich."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. Her mother is the mistress of a certain real estate owner. She must be rich (laughing)"

"You are also an alumnus of Yingwuzhou No. [-] Middle School? What a coincidence! I also went to the same high school as her, and I even know that the name of the real estate is Jiayuan (狗头)"

"Damn it, there's still this kind of melon? It's so wordy."

"Her mother cheated in marriage and was caught acting as a mistress, and her parents made trouble at school, and everyone knew about it (laughing and crying)"

In less than an afternoon, the matter of Zhong Lingzi's mother's cheating on her as a mistress was aroused.

People in the music club and the international trade major were talking wildly.

In the cafeteria, Gongsun Jin met at the stall.

Gao Le, a sophomore who worked part-time together, asked him, "Are you also majoring in international trade?"

"Ah."

"Do you know Zhong Lingzi? A very beautiful girl."

"Know, what's wrong?"

Hearing the name Zhong Lingzi, Gongsun Jin and Mian paused.

"Now there is a big melon saying that her mother cheated on her marriage and made her a mistress."

"What did you say?"

Gongsun Jin Hemian stopped and looked at her in surprise.

"Well, see for yourself."

Gao Le showed him the reply on the topic.

The information given by the whistleblower was very detailed, and some even posted photos of Zhong Lingzi when he was in high school.

Wearing a blue and white school uniform, she is very pure.

At that time, she didn't have a golden bob like she is now, but had long black hair, which looked pitiful.

Now her eyes are not so soft, but more sharp.

Gongsun Jin suddenly understood why she was so indifferent to Xiao Wanjun last night.

When we met next time, he was a little absent-minded.

Zhong Lingzi was completely unaware of these things, and when she came back from the bar after singing, she carried a guitar on her back and walked briskly.

The boss raised her salary to [-], because during the time she was resident, there were a lot of customers in the zero o'clock bar, and they all came to listen to Lingzi's singing.

"It's great! Earn 300 a day, and after a month, plus the manuscript fee."

"Whoo~"

Zhong Lingzi was so happy that she called her grandmother.

"Grandma! I made a lot of money working part-time outside. The boss likes me very much and gave me a raise!"

"You don't have to work so hard!"

Grandma still said very little, she just asked him if the boss was a man or a woman.

Knowing that the boss is not a man, and Lingzi should not be taken care of by someone, she feels a little relieved.

"It's okay if you can't make money. Girls must not abuse themselves outside."

"It's okay to work part-time, but don't go astray."

"You know, I love myself very much."

Zhong Lingzi smiled slightly.

This indifferent girl seldom smiles, but when she smiles she is very pretty.

Gu Pan shines brightly, his eyes seem to be twinkling with stars.

"Let's eat something good today."

With a rare salary increase, Zhong Lingzi hesitated for a long time and decided to reward himself.

"The ramen cooked by Gongsun Jin is delicious, just eat the ramen."

She walked towards the stall of the cafeteria with the guitar on her back.

Thinking about eating clear soup ramen or beef ramen.

"Beef ramen is so expensive, and there are only a few pieces of meat. It's not worth it."

"But I really want to eat meat."

Zhong Lingzi drooped her head and rubbed her cheeks, but decided to order clear soup ramen.

"Zhong Lingzi, Zhong Lingzi, you are so bold that you want to order beef ramen? Are you bloated?"

"Instant noodles with ham sausage are a luxury you can't imagine."

While muttering, reminding herself not to forget to be frugal, she transferred 200 yuan to the family.

Gongsun Jin was talking to each other, thinking about Zhong Lingzi, a little absent-minded.

"Hi!"

When Zhong Lingzi came to the stall, when he was walking, he hopped on tiptoe, showing some girlish playfulness.

Her short, golden, ear-length hair swayed as she jumped.

She seems to be in a good mood today, very happy.

There was some warmth on the cold face in the past, with shallow dimples on the face, and a shimmer in the beautiful eyes.

Gongsun Jin looked a little absent-minded, she rarely showed such a smile.

"Give me a bowl of clear soup ramen."

Zhong Lingzi couldn't help smiling.

"Ah."

Gongsun Jin came back to his senses and began to prepare ramen.

The two seniors who worked part-time together looked at her with strange expressions.

Zhong Lingzi felt a little strange, and didn't understand why they were looking at her like this.

"Is it her?"

"Yes, it's her."

"It's because her mother cheated on someone and made her a mistress."

When Zhong Lingzi heard this, his body felt as if he had been electrocuted, and he looked back.

"Shh, she heard it."

From time to time, there were whispers in the cafeteria.

Many people were secretly looking at her, with puzzled, curious, ridiculed, or contemptuous eyes...

There are all kinds of eyes. If the eyes can cut people's blood like a knife, she should be riddled with holes by now.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Zhong Lingzi walked towards the girls who were talking, feeling a little apprehensive.

"nothing much."

The girl lowered her head to eat without speaking.

"I heard you guys say..."

Zhong Lingzi frowned slightly.

"Well, your mother is a real estate owner's mistress."

A girl with a hot temper spoke directly.

The eyes of the surrounding people looked over, and Gongsun Jin behind the stall also looked over.

Zhong Lingzi felt panic for a while, his knees felt weak, and he looked around at all kinds of strange faces.

"You...you are talking nonsense!"

"No...not at all..."

As she spoke, she took two steps back tremblingly, deceiving herself as she did when she was lying in childhood, trying to deceive herself.

But her eye sockets started to burn hot again, she couldn't lie to her own eyes.

how could be?

Why does everyone suddenly know?
why?
Her high school life was ruined like this.

She searched among the crowd, and found a peaceful woman eating at the dining table, clenched her fists, and walked towards her.

"Did you say that?"

Hearing this, Wang Lu put down her chopsticks and looked at her helplessly.

"I said no, would you believe me?"

Wang Lu also felt very wronged, although she hated Zhong Lingzi very much, it was not enough to publicize her family ugliness.

The real estate owner Zhong Lingzi's mother cheated on was her father.

"Who else is there besides you and Zhang Wen?"

As Zhong Lingzi spoke, his voice trembled a little.

"Clean your fucking mouth!"

Zhang Wen, who was at the table opposite Wang Lu, couldn't help standing up.

"Who cares about your mess?"

"It's the two of us who spread the word?"

"Wang Lu is also a victim! Your mother ruined her family. She didn't mention it to anyone."

"Why do you look so wronged?"

"Isn't your mother a mistress?"

"do not talk."

Wang Lu frowned and grabbed her.

The huge cafeteria suddenly fell silent, the chefs at the stalls, the students eating, and the aunts who were in charge of handling the leftovers.

Everyone was looking at her, and their eyes made her so scared that she wanted to escape from this world.

Zhong Lingzi stood on the spot, at a loss for what to do.

She looked back, behind the ramen stall, Gongsun Jin was also looking at her.

She avoided his eyes, she didn't want to see contempt in his eyes.

She had no friends in high school and was a total joke.

The original friends also gradually alienated her.

No matter who it is, as long as they quarrel with her, they will attack her with words like "little three's daughter" and "son of a bitch".

Then he looked at her speechless, ecstatic, and triumphant.

Her throat was choked, and she wanted to say something, but she felt powerless.

Gongsun Jin put down her half-stretched face, took off her mask and apron, and walked towards her.

He didn't know what he was doing, but when he saw the smile on her face disappear, he suddenly felt a little sad.

Then, the body seemed to be out of control, and moved a little closer to her.

Zhong Lingzi's vision was hazy, and someone took her hand.

She lowered her head, not looking at who that person was.

He has a very fresh scent, like cedar.

Under everyone's gaze, Gongsun Jin took her hand and walked outside.

Zhong Lingzi didn't resist, and let him hold her hand like a broken puppet.

The wind blowing from the setting mountain brushed away her hair from the temples, and the girl looked awe-inspiring.

There is a tear mole in the corner of her eye. Generally speaking, the mole growing here will make girls look charming.

But she doesn't have that kind of charming temperament, her temperament is very cold.

Zhong Lingzi didn't cry, but her eyes were a little red.

This surprised Gongsun Jin a little.

"If you're sad, it's better to cry."

"Tears are the most precious thing, reserved only for the deepest sorrow and the fullest happiness."

Zhong Lingzi shook his head stubbornly, and withdrew his hand from his.

She is not that fragile, and she is not obsessed with this short-lived warmth.

"I smoke a cigarette."

Zhong Lingzi took out the lighter, lit a women's cigarette, and smoked it by the side of the road.

The orange light spots flickered with her breathing.

The girl's pale face was ups and downs in the light and shadow.

The movement of her pinching the cigarette with her fingers was very elegant. When she was puffing out the clouds, Gongsun Jin felt the "sexiness" that only mature women could have from this young girl.

That sexiness is not dusty, but a sense of story and thickness after a lot of experience.

"Are you hungry? My treat."

Gongsun Jin said aloud.

"You have to find a reason to invite me to dinner."

Zhong Lingzi brushed off a piece of soot.

"You are my fan, I like to hear you sing."

Gongsun Jin responded.

"This reason sounds strange, but it seems reasonable."

Zhong Lingzi said calmly, returning to that proud look.

"What to eat?"

Gongsun Jin was a little relieved.

Zhong Lingzi thought for a while, then said softly, "Pizza, I've never ordered such an expensive thing in my life."

"Come on, I'll take you to eat pizza."

Gongsun Jin didn't hesitate at all.

Zhong Lingzi followed behind him with the guitar on her back.

The pizza is double cheese with grilled sausage and beef.

Gongsun Jin also ordered egg tarts, spaghetti bolognese and milk tea.

This is the first time Zhong Lingzi has eaten a whole pizza.

It was delicious and she loved it so much.

"Thank you, Gongsun Jin."

Zhong Lingzi ate the pizza and thanked her.

"Um?"

Gongsun Jin looked sideways at her.

"In this world, there are not many people who treat me well."
