The Humble Spare Tire is Set After the Car Rolls Over

Chapter 49: Sleepwalking Like A Shadow Chasing The Light (2)

This is the beginning, but only the beginning.

After Lin Zheng had spoken to him a few words at that point, they were nodding acquaintances since then, and occasionally they would have a few conversations when they met in class. But more, there is no more.

Chaoci was very happy at first, but after a while, he became greedy again.

He is used to sitting in the last row of the classroom. After all, he is not their major. If he is in the middle, he always feels a little awkward. And Lin Zheng has a few good friends in this class—a person like him probably won’t be short of friends anywhere—so although he doesn’t come early every time, there are always friends who stay for him in the front row location.

In this way, it was a rare coincidence that they were able to sit together last time. Because the teacher in that class was very popular, many students from other majors came to take the class, so the seats were very tight.

Chao Ci always looked at Lin Zheng silently in the last row. Over the past year, he seems to have grown a lot taller, he should have been one meter nine. Just looking at the back, I felt a sense of oppression.

Loving Lin Zheng is probably the most outrageous thing Chao Ci has ever done in his life. Even if it’s just a heartfelt, careful love.

In addition to classes, it is difficult for Chao Ci to have some intersection with Lin Zheng in other places. He had inquired about whether Lin Zheng had participated in a club or student organization before, and if so, he would join. But later I heard that Lin Zheng did not participate in any school organization, it seems that he has already started to deal with some of his family business.

His family background is very mysterious, and his classmates can’t tell the specific one, two or three. He can only vaguely inquire about the edges of some industries, and the real huge ice body has never been revealed to the public.

In addition, Lin Zheng’s circle is also difficult for him to integrate into. Some of Lin Zheng’s close friends in high school had their homes on the top floor of their school. The high school group often chats about these people. From some rumors about these people, it can be vaguely seen that Lin Zheng is still close to those people. This is a circle that Chao Ci can never enter.

Several times of plucking up the courage, only a few words can be said between them.

Chao Ci felt that he was too greedy, but he still longed to talk to Lin Zheng more.

Slowly, he noticed that Lin Zheng often didn’t eat breakfast. Because he often saw that during the break of the first class, this person would take out a cold breakfast and eat a few bites at will.

Often eating cold breakfast is bad for the stomach.

Chao Ci thought, the next day he sat in another row where Lin Zheng often sat. Almost all of Lin Zheng’s friends also arrived. When Lin Zheng came, he sat next to his friend as usual. He looked a little tired and said a few words with his friend at random.

Chao Ci took out a thermal insulation box and handed it to Lin Zheng. He was so nervous that his hands were shaking.

Lin Zheng looked at the insulation box he handed over, and then turned to look at Chao Ci with a questioning expression.

“It’s breakfast.” Chao Ci whispered.

Chao Ci lives in the dormitory, but each floor of their dormitory has a communal kitchenette – although the small kitchen in the boys’ dormitory has basically never been used.

His voice was low, but everyone on Lin Zheng’s side heard it. The expressions of several boys became a little teasing. Lin Zheng wanted to refuse, but turned to look at Chao Ci, but didn’t say anything.

He opened the insulation box and found a bowl of shredded chicken porridge with mushrooms.

As soon as I opened it, the aroma was exuded, but fortunately, there was no class yet, and there were quite a few students rushing to eat breakfast, so it didn’t seem abrupt here.

Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows, took a few bites, and the taste was surprisingly good.

He eats fast, but doesn’t seem disrespectful enough to see his good tutoring. After eating a few mouthfuls, I saw another timid hand stretched out beside me, and heard the little beta say, “Give me the box.”

Lin Zheng returned the box to Chao Ci and said, “Thank you.”

Little Beta’s eyes suddenly lit up, and the rosy lips couldn’t help but lift up.

After that day, little beta brought Lin Zheng breakfast every day, and even Lin Zheng’s friends knew him.

A semester passed, and on the Thursday of the last week, Lin Zheng sent a message to Chao Ci—they had already added WeChat at this time—and asked him to go to the cafe next to the teaching building after class.

There was only this sentence on their empty chat box, but it made Chao Ci’s brain freeze at a glance.

He didn’t listen to anything in the whole class, his mind seemed to be blank, and he seemed to be noisy, and he finally got through to the end of the get out of class.

After class, Lin Zheng walked out of the classroom, and Chao Ci followed him out.

At the cafe, Lin Zheng ordered a cappuccino for Chao Ci and an American coffee for himself.

Chao Ci held his cappuccino and looked at Lin Zheng. He wanted to break the silence, but he didn’t know what to say.

Lin Zheng spoke first: “Thank you for the breakfast you gave me this semester. I don’t want to eat it for so long. I chose a small gift and hope you can accept it.”

He said, took out a box and handed it to Chao Ci.

Chaoci recognizes the sign above, which is Vacheron Constantin.

He blushed suddenly and said, “This is too precious, I…”

Lin Zheng ignored Chao Ci’s refusal, his emerald green eyes looked at Chao Ci, as if he never really had any emotions.

He said: “I will take most of the next courses directly to take the exam. In the next semester, my courses are basically the later courses. It seems that you have taken physics as an elective, so don’t follow me to the lectures after that, it will not affect your studies. Benefit. Since it is a minor, failing a major will have an impact.”

Chao Ci pursed his lips.

He felt that Lin Zheng seemed to be caring about him and thinking of him, but in this vague joy, there was some ethereal illusion.

Do you care about him? Or just want to deal with a small hassle?

Lin Zheng saw that the beta on the opposite side kept his head down and didn’t speak, and he didn’t waste any more time. He was about to get up to say goodbye, but the beta suddenly raised his head,

“Senior.” He clutched the corner of his shirt nervously, “I like, like… you.”

He seems to have used the strength of his life to say this.

But it wasn’t so easy after speaking, those round eyes kept looking at Lin Zheng nervously.

Lin Zheng just nodded slightly.

“I know,” he said.

Whether it’s his tone or his eyebrows, it’s extremely flat.

“…”

Chao Ci opened his mouth and didn’t speak again.

It was like a ball that had been plucking up courage, but was suddenly punctured.

Lin Zheng stood up. Although he was still in the ivory tower, he already had an obvious sense of aggression belonging to the superior.

“I’ll go first,” he said.

Chao Ci stared blankly at the back of his leaving.

After Lin Zheng left, his eyes moved to the watch on the table again.

This is too precious for Chao Ci. He didn’t want to accept it, but seeing Lin Zheng’s undeniable expression, he felt a little embarrassed to do more entanglement and shirk on it.

After all, it was nothing to this man.

Chao Ci put away the watch and left in despair.

…

In the next semester, as Lin Zheng said, he will no longer take classes with the sophomore.

I heard that he has finished all those courses, and now he only takes some courses that are strictly required to come to class.

He seems to be in a hurry to graduate.

In the last semester of his junior year, Lin Zheng completed all the credits, completed the preliminary defense prepared for him by the teacher, and graduated from University A. At this time, Chao Ci was only in the second semester of his sophomore year.

Chao Ci gave up his minor in physics. He was really bad at physics. He used to study hard for Lin Zheng’s sake. After Lin Zheng left, he didn’t seem to need to take this course anymore. Moreover, he also wants to graduate as soon as possible.

Dropping out of a minor doesn’t really matter, it’s just that the courses you took in the past are all voided.

After withdrawing from the minor, Chao Ci suddenly had a lot of free time, he arranged it to the fullest, and finally graduated a year early. At this time, it had been a year and a half since Lin Zheng graduated.

He applied for a job at a hotel company in their city, because it was one of Lin Zheng’s family businesses, and after Lin Zheng graduated, he was managing the company, which is said to be a practice.

This company is also very famous in City A. There are countless graduates from prestigious schools who apply for jobs every year.
