Chapter 17: Missed Appointment

  The first time I called this guy's phone, oh, the ringtone was still the beginning of "Wishes Under the Rainbow", giving people a very ethereal feeling.

  Lin Xing still remembers that this is a song by Tibetan singer Gen Drakpa, **at that time it had a very rough and wild Khampa Hanzi style. Lin Xing has listened to it before and is very interested in ethnic minority songs, if he must list some examples, they would be Phoenix Legend, Yong Zhong Er Jia, and Zhuoma.

  Lin Xing knew that the former academic tyrant had changed a bit after a month of hard work, at least, there was still a manly temperament. The bell rang three times before he pressed the answer key: "Hey, didn't you say we were going together tonight? What time is it? Are you waiting for the flowers to wither?"

  "My big sister, it's still early, I'm going to work at 7 o'clock!" Very crisp and neat.

  "Where?"

  "You pick," he said.

  "Alright, I'll contact you then!" and hung up.

  It wasn't until afterwards that Lin Xing came to his senses, thinking to himself: What's the point of being picky? Tonight isn't about enduring the night at the internet cafe? This guy is really cunning. Don't think that ladies first is noble, this is just shameless and rascal behavior.

  20:00 sharp.

  She opened her phone case and found no text messages or missed calls, Lin Xing felt a bit disappointed and secretly scolded "This is really ridiculous, even when flirting with girls, they don't do this. I've been alone in the internet cafe for an hour already. This is simply a blatant lie." Lin Xing got angry.

  It's really unbearable, Lin Xing also has lonely times, besides Lin Xing is still a young lady.

  Looking at the call log, Xiao Feng's phone had been called by Lin Xing eighteen times. The first three calls were unanswered, and the last fifteen calls went straight to voicemail. Seeing such a desperate number of calls, Lin Xing put down his phone and stared blankly at the computer screen.

  Chirp, chirp, the QQ message notification flashed on the screen. Lin Xing thought it was Xiao Feng's message, and indeed it was from Xiao Feng. He said: "Lin Xing is working overtime tonight, send me the name of the school you've filled out, I'll go fill it in tomorrow, then we can be together, trust me!"

  Seeing his message, he was slightly excited and more hateful. "You're also too unreliable, is there such a man as you?" Lin Xing sent these over when his avatar had already turned gray. Lin Xing thought he was hiding and teasing him, so he sent several in a row, but after a barrage of scolding, there was still no response. Lin Xing was desperate.

  Lin Xing reflected on himself, what was he doing? Was he really willing to believe that he had agreed to have a passionate romance with him at the same university that night? Was Lin Xing really going to send his school code to him? Would what he said be true? Alright, the initiative was in Lin Xing's hands, anyway the school had been chosen, whether or not to go was up to him, OK Lin Xing's school XXXXXXXXXX.

  Once a QQ message is sent, it's too late to regret, unless, unless you disconnect from the internet.

  Lin Xing changed his avatar to gray, which means he is offline.

  At this time, Lin Xing was so lonely again. At this time, he hoped that there were still good friends around him, such as Su Mei, Wang Zhen, Wen Xiaohui, Wen Hui, Tao Xinran and Lin Xing himself. But they all belonged to the past tense. Even he had to deceive Lin Xing. Emotions are just so ruthless. Having looked down on it but couldn't see through it, people who have forgotten still need to believe and wait in vain.

  I heard that a KFC has opened in the county town, and it's even open 24 hours. Why not go try it out? You can buy a cup of coffee and stay there overnight, which also saves on accommodation fees. Anyway, it's more comfortable than some black internet cafe, and the air is much fresher too.

  Oh my god, it was originally next to the bus stop, just for those...

  People are ready, okay, let's settle down here for now. Tomorrow we'll leave and return to Lin Xing's rural hometown. It's comfortable there and can purify Lin Xing's mind. The city's rhythm is too fast, Lin Xing's soul can't keep up.

  I believe that tomorrow morning, I will be able to see the sunrise from the mountaintop as I wish.
