After a few days, this matter gradually faded out of the public's view.
The investigation results of the out-of-control Alpha have not been made public, and it is unknown whether they were not found or the news was suppressed.
Therasis did issue a statement denying the online rumors and expressing a willingness to actively cooperate with the police investigation.
Thus, there was no follow-up to this matter.
However, Xia Huai Zhi has three professional courses to review for midterms recently and is too busy to care about anything else.
Since they last parted, she and Fu Lin haven't seen each other for some time.
Roughly calculated. . . it's been about ten days.
Although it didn't matter when they hadn't seen each other for four years before, now she seems to be more and more reluctant to be apart from him, and starts to miss him after just one or two days.
On this evening, she held her book and reviewed for several hours in a row, and suddenly came up with a bad idea in her head.
When a female college student is tired of reviewing, she should have something exciting to do. She opened her friend circle that hadn't been updated for a long time and posted a dynamic that only Fu Lin could see - "Yesterday I dreamed of kissing the person I like, guess who it is!!" To make it more realistic, she deliberately left a comment below - "One Rabbit Branch: Narrow the scope, this person is from our school." Fu Lin was indeed a student at their school a few months ago, so this hint was not entirely wrong, but it was easy to cause misunderstandings. What she wanted was this effect, she wanted to know if Fu Lin would have any special reaction. After everything was set up, she put down her phone and started the next stage of review with passion. It took about an hour before she reopened WeChat. Fu Lin liked her dynamic, but didn't leave any comments or come to chat with her privately. This reaction. . . was too calm![A Rabbit Branch]: Don't panic.
[A Rabbit Branch]: *pats head*
[Fu Lin]: . . .
Presumably, the other party really had nothing to say, only half a ellipsis was sent. But there was no way, female college students who were tormented by their studies would become a bit strange.
It's already midnight, it's time to sleep.
Xia Huaizhi stretched lazily and said to Li Qing, who was still reading seriously, "Qingqing, let's go to bed early, or we won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Li Qing suddenly put down the book, "What time is it now? Is it about to dawn?"
"No, it's only midnight."
Li Qing picked up the book again, "Oh, then it's still early, I'll keep reading, you go to sleep."
"Qingqing, you seem to have suddenly become hardworking recently." According to the past, Li Qing would have gone to bed early. "Ah, there's no way, this is a sweet burden."
Li Qing sighed with a smile, "I want to marry Fang Xun, so I have to pass his parents first. I don't have a job now, so I can only use my grades to prove my potential for development."
"Marriage? So early?"
Although she had recently used the Marriage Law as a prop, it wasn't until this kind of thing happened to her friend that she truly realized that "marriage" was already so close to her.
Li Qing replied, "It's not early to say that. My parents got married at this age, and their relationship is very good now."
"Well," Xia Huai Zhi smiled, "I wish you both the best!"
She quickly finished washing up and climbed into bed, staring at the ceiling lost in thought. As she thought, she became a little itchy and decided to send Fu Lin some strange messages.
[A Rabbit Branch]: Senior, why are you still single? Have you never been in love before?
Although it was already late, Fu Lin seemed to still be awake and replied quickly. [Fu Lin]: Because I don't want to.
[Fu Lin]: No.
[A Rabbit Branch]: Do you have someone you like?
[Fu Lin]: No.
[Fu Lin]: Go to bed early.
The implication is probably: Shut up and stop asking these messy questions.
Xia Huaizhi stopped asking any further questions.
[A Rabbit Branch]: Good night!
She put down her phone and fell into a sweet dream all night.
After several mid-term exams were over, Xia Huaizhi felt alive again. On the weekend, Li Qing was busy meeting Fang Xun's parents, while she planned to walk around the pedestrian street alone and relax.
The weather in Nangang City was still unpredictable as before. When she set off, it was a sunny day, but it started raining as soon as she arrived at the pedestrian street.
Fortunately, she didn't buy cotton candy this time, and the umbrella happened to be in her bag, so she didn't end up like last time.
Encountering the sudden rain again, she couldn't help but think of Fu Lin, who gave her the umbrella that day, and the coffee shop they met by chance.
So she followed her memory and found it easily.
When the door opened, the wind chime on the door handle made a crisp "ding-ling" sound, just like the one she heard that day.
However, today, the male protagonist she met was not here.
She ordered a cup of hot latte and sat in the seat where Fu Lin sat last time, as if she was with him.
By the time she slowly finished her coffee, the sound of the rain had disappeared.
In its place was -"I heard there's a rainbow outside, let's go see it!"
"Okay, let's go!"
"Wow, there are actually two rainbows appearing at the same time!"
Upon hearing their excited voices, Xia Huai Zhi couldn't help but want to go out and join in the fun.
After leaving the coffee shop, she walked to the intersection to avoid the obstruction of those tall buildings.
With a broad view, she finally saw two beautiful rainbows as she had hoped. The outer circle was slightly lighter in color, looking somewhat elusive, as if it would disappear in a blink of an eye.
In order to capture this fleeting scenery, she raised her phone towards the sky, intending to take a picture of this scene.
She wanted to share it with Fu Lin.
While looking for the angle, she took a small step back and accidentally bumped into a passerby behind her.
At the moment of impact, the person made an unconscious grunt, which happened to fall into her ear. This deep voice made her feel familiar.
So she turned her head--
Sure enough, it was Fu Lin who she had collided with.
Because they were very close, she heard Fu Lin let out a low sigh, and then he squatted down to pick up her fallen beret.
After picking it up, he found the dusty spot and lightly patted it a few times.
Xia Huai Zhi looked at Fu Lin squatting down to pick up her hat from a high place, and suddenly felt that he was a bit cute.
Moreover. . . he even patted the dust off her hat.
A bad idea uncontrollably emerged from the depths of Xia Huai Zhi's mind. She touched Fu Lin's head before he stood up.
His hair was soft and felt very smooth to the touch.
And there was also the scent of shampoo, which smelled good.
Fu Lin seemed to be startled by her, he looked up at her with a surprised expression she had never seen before.
If she didn't see it wrong, there was a faint blush on his face, so light that it was hard to notice.
After about three seconds of eye contact, Fu Lin suddenly stood up and walked towards the coffee shop without looking back.
He walked very fast, and his legs were long, she could hardly catch up with him.
When she got closer, she noticed that Fu Lin's ears were also red, but his face was completely unhappy.
Could it be. . . he was angry?
