Lingzi is not too cold today

Chapter 78 I Sing With You
Inside the dormitory, Zhong Lingzi sat on a chair, rolled up her trouser legs, soaked a towel in hot water, wrung it dry, and wrapped it around her knees.

It hurt, but she didn't say a word.

The roommate asked her if it was okay and if she needed help, but she just shook her head and said "small things" in a very calm tone.

If it were any other girl, she would take a photo of her injury and send it to Moments with two pitiful words, and there would be many boys in the comment area asking for their care.

But Zhong Lingzi doesn't like to post on Moments, doesn't like to disclose her life, and doesn't need other people's comfort and sympathy.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

Ai Shuyu opened the door and saw Zhuang Xiaomeng at the door.

"I'm looking for Zhong Lingzi."

Zhuang Xiaomeng looked calm.

Ai Shuyu didn't say anything, just opened the door, returned to her seat, and continued to review with her notebook.

Zhong Lingzi looked sideways, saw that it was Zhuang Xiaomeng, and said, "It was Gongsun Jin who sent me back to the dormitory, but I have nothing to do with him."

"Didn't you say it? You don't have to explain this to me."

Zhuang Xiaomeng was a little surprised by her frankness.

"If you say that with your mouth, you will still care about it in your heart."

Zhong Lingzi was outspoken, which made Zhuang Xiaomeng a little embarrassed.

She was right, she cared.

Ai Shuyu's typing on the keyboard slowed down, and she pricked up her ears.

When the other two roommates heard her mention Gongsun Jin, they also raised their heads and looked over.

"He took the initiative to tell me, are you seriously injured?"

"Small wound."

Zhong Lingzi said coldly.

"He bought a pizza. I can't finish it by myself. Help me destroy half of it."

Zhuang Xiaomeng came over and took out pizza and egg tarts from the packaging bag.

"Thank you, but no need."

Zhong Lingzi shook his head, his tone was blunt, with a kind of indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away.

If it was given to her by Gongsun Jin, she would accept it.

She wouldn't take what Gongsun Jin gave Zhuang Xiaomeng.

And Zhong Lingzi doesn't like those cares that seem like charity.

"You...have a prejudice against me?"

Zhuang Xiaomeng asked in a low voice.

"No, you helped me before, and I'm quite grateful to you."

Zhong Lingzi looked at Ai Shuyu out of the corner of her eye, and lowered her voice.

"But we don't know each other well."

Zhuang Xiaomeng was a little at a loss when he heard the words, so he called Gongsun Jin.

"I want to share the pizza and egg tarts you bought with Zhong Lingzi, is that okay?"

"of course."

Gongsun Jin's answer was straightforward.

Zhuang Xiaomeng looked at Zhong Lingzi again after hearing the words.

Zhong Lingzi looked at her for a while, then turned away again.

"Help me share half of it."

Zhuang Xiaomeng sighed helplessly.

"Yuyu often mentions to me her good friend, Zhong Shu'er."

Hearing her mention Shu'er, Zhong Lingzi was slightly touched.

"Our sisters are good friends, so we can't be considered unfamiliar."

Looking into Zhuang Xiaomeng's eyes, the coldness in Zhong Lingzi's eyes lost a bit.

"Ah."

She nodded slightly.

Zhuang Xiao dreamed about it, and then put the pizza, milk tea, and egg tart on her table.

"Does the ointment need my help?"

"Need not."

Zhong Lingzi shook his head lightly, took out a piece of plaster and tore it off, and stuck it on his knee. The strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine was a bit pungent.

"Eat, you're welcome."

Taking the pizza from her hand, Zhong Lingzi slowly ate it.

Eating with someone you don't know very well can be a little weird.

Zhong Lingzi didn't like this feeling, although the pizza was really delicious.

After insisting on sharing half of her pizza and egg tart, and a cup of milk tea, Zhuang Xiaomeng returned to the dormitory.

After she left, Zhong Lingzi was relieved.

Looking at the food on the table, I don't know what to think.

When she climbed into bed to sleep, her knees couldn't be strained.

Roommate Lin Na asked her if she wanted to help, but Zhong Lingzi just waved her hand and said stubbornly no.

She propped herself up on her elbows and climbed up with great difficulty.

That night, she slept very late.

In the next few days, she may not be able to go to the cafeteria to work part-time, so she can only pin her hopes on the novel and earn some manuscript fees by making more hits.

She never publishes a single chapter, and rarely asks readers to subscribe.

Early the next morning, instead of asking the counselor for leave, she dragged her injured knee out of bed to wash, hopped downstairs on one foot, and then took the bus to and fro between the teaching buildings.

Classrooms are on the fifth floor, and the elevators are always crowded.

She held onto the stairs and hopped on one foot, stopping for a rest when she was tired, and then continued to go up.

Three minutes before class roll call, Zhong Lingzi stopped at the corner of the corridor, looked at the remaining two floors, leaned on the railing, panting slightly.

The classmates who came to class hurried past her, and no one stayed.

Gongsun Jin remembered the wrong classroom, so he came a little late.

When going up the stairs, I happened to see her back.

"Why don't you stay in the dormitory and have a good rest?"

Hearing this voice, she looked back.

Gongsun Jin came to her and squatted down.

"Come up."

Zhong Lingzi sighed leisurely, and leaned over to lean on his back.

Gongsun Jin held her calf and walked upstairs quickly.

"Put me down when you are almost at the door of the classroom."

Zhong Lingzi whispered.

"Well, I understand."

Gongsun Jin climbed up to the fifth floor with her on his back, and put her down when he was about to approach the door of the classroom.

"Thank you."

The moment Zhong Lingzi got off his back, Wang Xuetong, who came out of the bathroom, happened to notice him.

Wang Xuetong's eyes flickered slightly, thoughtfully.

When the two entered the classroom, the roll call had just started, and the person who checked the attendance in the student council happened to be Wang Lu.

The eyes of Wang Lu and Zhong Lingzi met for a moment, and then quickly moved away.

Since the public opinion spread before, the already unharmonious relationship between her and Zhong Lingzi deteriorated further.

She must hate me so much...

Wang Lu thought this way, but she never thought about improving her relationship with her.

The first two classes were management studies, and the teacher assigned group assignments.

The content of the homework is case analysis. Give a case of a leader, analyze his success and failure, and tell the key to managing a team or enterprise well.

As the team leader, Ouyang Rui thought for a long time and didn't know what suitable case to find.

"What's so difficult? The Battle of Guandu! Boss Cao and Yuan Shao, these two are typical leaders."

"Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao because he knew how to employ people, and he was better at being a leader than Yuan Shao. As a leader, Yuan Shao's counselors and factions were fighting among themselves. Obviously, he didn't manage well."

"You can use this as a case study to analyze the success and failure of their management team."

Lin Hui spoke eloquently, his face brimming with confidence.

"Huh? It seems to be really possible. Okay! Lin Hui!"

Ouyang Rui was overjoyed.

Lin Hui is currently an avid book fan of The Three Kingdoms, and he adores Boss Cao very much.

As the "author" of "Three Kingdoms", Gongsun Jin decided to use the plot of "his novel" as a case study after hearing their discussion, and her mood was quite complicated.

During recess, a girl ran over to deliver milk tea to Lin Hui.

Yi Katie watched this scene, her back molars were about to be crushed.

In front of his girlfriend, Lin Hui didn't dare to go too far, and decisively rejected her confession.

After the girl left, she said to Tang Fulin, "Fulin, do you want milk tea?"

After finishing speaking, he handed the milk tea to Tang Fulin.

"Drink, thank you."

Tang Fulin took it with a smile.

A cup of milk tea costs more than ten yuan, don't want it for nothing.

"The girl bought it for you specially, so you just gave it to someone else?"

Ouyang Rui joked.

"Hahahaha!"

Lin Hui laughed.

"Why is Mr. Lin laughing?"

Ouyang Rui continued to ask.

"Better teach me to betray the world, don't teach the world to defeat me."

Lin Hui said with a deep expression on his face.

Cao Cao's words are so classic that he regards them as the bible.

Gongsun Jin glanced at him, but said nothing.

After the management class, change the gap in the teaching building.

Zhong Lingzi waited for everyone in the class to leave before starting to move, following at the back of the crowd.

As he went downstairs, an arm was extended.

"You can take my arm if you don't mind."

Gongsun Jin fell at the end and said beside her.

Zhong Lingzi didn't hesitate too much, and directly took his forearm, and when she went downstairs, she was much more confident and bold.

The girl's arms were very soft, and they were so close that Gongsun Jin could feel the warmth of her body, as well as the familiar scent of milk.

"Did you grow up soaked in milk?"

"It's been there since childhood."

Gongsun Jin is not the first person to be curious about the milky scent on her body.

On the bumpy way down the stairs, the two got very close, and occasionally Gongsun Jin would even feel her hair brushing against his side face.

"I'll ride an electric car for you."

Gongsun Jin found a shared electric car downstairs, helped her sit in the back seat, and then drove towards the teaching building.

Zhong Lingzi sat behind him, and when walking through the campus, she couldn't help but think of Zhuang Xiaomeng sitting behind him before.

He and Zhuang Xiaomeng are a good match.

What about her?
She didn't wear a beautiful floral dress, so it shouldn't be appropriate.

When passing by the school bus, she caught a glimpse and saw Zhuang Xiaomeng sitting by the window, looking out.

The eyes of the two met briefly.

The roles of the two have been reversed.

"She had a good laugh."

Zhuang Xiaomeng looked away and muttered softly.

The class in the fourth teaching building is two microeconomics classes, and it talks about Adam Smith's free trade theory.

Anyone who has a little bit of professionalism and finance can't spare Adam Smith.

The teacher who gave the lectures taught very well. He did not follow the scriptures, but gave many vivid examples and vivid analogies.

So there is no difficulty in listening to the whole course.

There are no classes in the afternoon, which can be used for rest.

Zhong Lingzi was still the last one to leave the classroom, and Gongsun Jin followed her, letting her reach out and hold his arm.

The girl's arm looked very slender and weak, but when she grabbed his arm and went downstairs, she was so hard that it even made Gongsun Jin feel a little painful.

"Are you scared? It hurts me to hold it so tightly."

Gongsun Jin asked.

"Well, scared."

Zhong Lingzi did not deny it.

"But not afraid of death."

"I'm just worried that something will happen if I stumble and fall, and I won't be able to take care of my sister."

"You are a good sister."

Gongsun Jin nodded slightly.

"Not really good, just not bad enough."

Zhong Lingzi examined his own heart.

She felt that she was not kind, selfish and self-interested, with a cold and indifferent nature.

She also thought about leaving many times and let that oily sister fend for herself.

But whenever she packed up her things and was ready to go out, there was always an invisible thread wrapped around her ankle.

No matter how far she went, the thread would pull her back.

That invisible line is called the moral bottom line.

"Gongsun Jin, can you take me to Zero Bar?"

"You want to sing?"

"Well, you can sit there and sing."

Zhong Lingzi had a stubborn face.

"Can you tell me, why are you working so hard? Logically speaking, with your current salary as a resident singer, you shouldn't be so nervous."

Gongsun Jin was a little puzzled.

"What do you know? Don't children go to school without tuition fees? Have you ever been a housekeeper?"

"You know some people have a hard time just breathing?"

Zhong Lingzi was a little angry, and his tone was a little more serious.

After she finished speaking, she immediately realized that she was a little out of control.

"Sorry, I've been emotionally unstable lately."

"It's okay, I can understand."

"I'll go with you."

"Forget it, it's already troublesome for you."

He had already helped him a lot, Zhong Lingzi didn't want to trouble him any more.

"I will go with you."

Gongsun Jin's tone became very firm.

"I said no."

Before she finished speaking, Gongsun Jin interrupted her.

"You are a girl, your leg is injured and you can't walk."

"The bar environment is so chaotic, you will be bullied."

After Gongsun Jin finished speaking, he didn't care whether she agreed or not, but just loaded her on the electric car and drove her towards the outside of the school.

Zhong Lingzi slightly pursed the corners of her lips, she had a lot to say.

But when those words came to his lips, there were only two words left.

"Thank you."

When she reached the bar entrance, she refused Gongsun Jin's support, and jumped into the bar by herself.

Seeing that Zhong Lingzi was inconvenient to move, some people walked over there with malicious intentions, trying to strike up a conversation.

She ignored it, and these people continued to harass without knowing it.

Zhong Lingzi frowned slightly, if she was still agile, she might have greeted these people with a beer bottle, and then ran away.

At this time, it was Gongsun Jin who came over to protect her.

"Thank you."

Zhong Lingzi thanked him, and couldn't help blushing.

She found a chair on the stage and sat down, then hugged the guitar and began to play and sing.

Gongsun Jin sat under the stage, watching the restless people around her, while listening to her singing quietly.

Soon, a girl came to greet him and asked if he was Gongsun Jin.

Gongsun Jin just nodded slightly.

Many people in the audience had heard his songs, and many rich young women gathered around and invited him to drink.

Many fans also asked him if he could sing a song here.

Seeing the cheers getting stronger, Gongsun Jin took the initiative to go to the front desk to find the proprietress.

"Can I sing a song here?"

"You sing with us, I can't afford your performance fee."

The proprietress is naturally very happy.

Gongsun Jin is considered a popular singer now, singing in her bar can attract a lot of popularity for her.

"The performance fee is definitely still required, but it doesn't need to be particularly large."

"Some of my fans are here today, if after I sing, they consume expensive wine."

"How about you take out some dividends?"

"I remember you had drink holders in your bar, didn't you?"

Gongsun Jin looked at the young and beautiful women on the booth, and many of them were winking at him.

The proprietress gave him a surprised look, then nodded with a smile.

"can."

"Please give Lingzi a share of the dividends."

Gongsun Jin looked at Zhong Lingzi who was on the stage.

"it is good!"

When the proprietress heard the words, she immediately understood.

Amid the cheers of many fans, Gongsun Jin stepped onto the stage.

To be honest, he doesn't like the atmosphere of the bar, nor does he like to sing in this colorful world.

But there are always times when someone will make him willing.

"My fans, how about we sing a song together?"

He said this sentence to Zhong Lingzi on the stage.

The young girls in the decks below the stage screamed in unison.

The sound was so loud that it seemed to knock the roof off.

"Ah, Mr. Jin, I am your dog!"

"Xiao Jin stepped on me!"

Gongsun Jin is not very good at laughing, but Dou M fans especially like his coldness.

Zhong Lingzi didn't respond, just picked up the guitar and began to pluck the strings.

The prelude is a song she will definitely sing when she comes here.

There is only one audience in the audience, and they also want to sing thousands of songs for him.

Today, he sings with her.

"Looking back slowly, the night that once belonged to each other."

"Honghong is still you, give me the sunshine in my heart!"

The fans in the audience also sang together.

This surprised Zhong Lingzi, when she sang this song here in the past, there was no such lively scene.

"In the future, even if there are thousands of songs, they will float on my road in the distance."

"Even if there are thousands of evening stars in the future and the moon is brighter than tonight, they will not be as beautiful as today, and they must not make me appreciate them more."

"Ah~ because you are singing with me tonight."

When the last line of the lyrics fell, Gongsun Jin looked sideways at her.

She looked at him too.

The spotlights on the stage shone on each other's faces, shining brightly.

"Woo~hoo~"

"One more song! One more song!"

"Gongsun Jin!"

Fans spread their sleeves, calling out his name in unison, clamoring for another song.

Gongsun Jin readily agreed, and sang "Like an Old Man Comes" and "Like You".

"It's hard to turn down hospitality, but I'm allergic to alcohol and can't drink alcohol."

"I have to substitute fruit juice for wine."

Gongsun Jin picked up the juice and toasted with the fans who invited him to drink in the bar.

After drinking, many fans asked for group photos and autographs, and Gongsun Jin accepted them all.

When leaving with Zhong Lingzi, Gongsun Jin walked up to the proprietress, and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, how much commission can I get?"

"A few customers consumed more than a dozen bottles of Ace of Spades. Counting other wines, the total was 20 yuan based on a 4% commission."

The proprietress looked at the data in the background and wrote down a line of numbers on the paper.

"Okay, let's put it all in Lingzi's account."

Gongsun Jin knew that she had lied about the data, but she didn't go into it. Businessmen are very shrewd.

Zhong Lingzi who was on the side looked at his side face with a complicated expression.

"it is good."

The proprietress looked at Zhong Lingzi, deducted the 23500 that she had borrowed from her earlier, and paid 17000.

Seeing the money transfer received on WeChat, Zhong Lingzi blushed with excitement, and there was a gleam in her eyes.

"Come on, go back to school."

Seeing her excited look, Gongsun Jin also smiled slightly, and walked outside.

When leaving the bar, many fans were very reluctant and wanted to invite him to sit for a while.

Some extremely rich female fans even offered to give him their contact information.

Seeing all kinds of luxury cars parked outside the bar, Gongsun Jin was also a little surprised.

He doesn't know much about cars, he only recognizes a Maserati with the logo of the Trident, a Lamborghini Poison with a very low chassis, and a McLaren.

"My fans are all rich."

Gongsun Jin couldn't help feeling a little emotional, then got on the electric car and drove towards the school with his poor fan Zhong Lingzi.

The lights and shadows on the long street were mottled, high-rise buildings and heavy traffic all ran behind the two of them.

"I have made so much money for you, do you want to treat me to dinner?"

The wind blowing head-on shook Gongsun Jin's hair.

"Your fans are so rich, why do you want to find me?"

The sound of the car horn was very loud, and there was a din in his ears. Zhong Lingzi had to shout loudly to let him hear his own voice.

"The rice you invited is more delicious."

"alright."

The corners of Zhong Lingzi's mouth raised slightly.

In the days that followed, she lived frugally and did more work, and her younger sister's medical expenses for the second month were settled, so she was naturally happy.

"What do you want to treat me to? I want to eat something delicious."

Gongsun Jin joked.

"Sichuan style tofu pork rice bowl, how about?"

Zhong Lingzi looked at the Luosen store on the side of the road, it was the one that Gongsun Jin took her to.

She thought that bento was delicious.

Gongsun Jin sighed, he didn't want to eat instant hot bento.

Lawson's food can only be said to be filling, but it's really not delicious.

"What? It costs 12 yuan a piece! There are tofu and meat!"

Zhong Lingzi said seriously.

"Okay, then eat this."

Gongsun Jin didn't dislike it, after all, he was a prostitute for nothing.

"Hey, come and eat!"

When it was time to check out, the girl handed over a warm bento.

Taking revenge, she had a long-lost smile on her face.

Gongsun Jin also smiled, took the lunch box, sat on a bench by the side of the road, and ate with her.

She took small bites, making the sound of being scalded, and said it was delicious with satisfaction.

Maybe for her, the instant bento with meat and tofu is really delicious.
