Time slowly passed, and the hands of the watch accurately pointed to eleven oâclock.
Lin Ze still hadnât come.
Gu Shengyin lowered her eyes.
No matter what the reason was, she was angry with Lin Ze.
Couldnât he at least make a phone call?
By eleven ten, there was still no sign of him, and her phone was silent.
When the server came back to ask if she needed anything, Gu Shengyin replied lightly that it wasnât necessary, sent a text message to Lin Ze, and got up to leave.
She had been thinking about why Lin Ze had asked her out today, and now, looking back, maybe it was just a whim?
For two days, Lin Ze did not reply to her text message.
On the day the college entrance exam results were released, Gu Shengyin also received an admission offer from a distant country.
Gu Shengyin did not attend the graduation banquet.
When Lin Ze finally arrived at school to apologize to the girl and express his feelings, he couldnât find her.
He asked a classmate from class three, and the person replied, "Are you talking about Zhong Changhuan? She went abroad! Yesterday she even posted her admission offer and plane ticket in the class group. Itâs the famous Gleis Design Academy, becoming a designer has always been her dream."
The words âgoing abroadâ seemed like a heavy hammer that struck Lin Ze on the head, and his face turned pale all of a sudden.
The classmate looked at him strangely and asked, "Are you okay, Lin Ze?"
Lin Ze collected himself and said absentmindedly, "The weatherâs too hot today, I just came in from outside, maybe Iâm a bit sunstruck."
The classmate was still a little worried, so Lin Ze forced a smile and said, "Itâs okay, Iâm just a bit dizzy, Iâll be fine after drinking some water and resting."
He returned to his seat somewhat disoriented.
After that, nothing seemed meaningful to Lin Ze.
He stared numbly as others cried and laughed, made toasts and took photos, but he just sat quietly, as if it all had nothing to do with him at all.
Indeed, it had nothing to do with him anymore.
He had always seemed unapproachable, so no one noticed anything was wrong with him.
Until everything was over, Song Tao came over and immediately saw that something was wrong with him.
By then, most people had already left, and in their private room, only Lin Ze was left.
Lin Ze lifted his head, with a confused expression: "Sheâs gone abroad."
Song Tao was stunned for a second before realizing who âsheâ referred to.
He was a bit surprised: "Zhong Changhuan went abroad? When?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "I donât know, I just found out about it."
Song Tao immediately focused on the crucial point: "Wait, youâre saying Zhong Changhuan went abroad without telling you?"
Lin Ze nodded.
Song Tao frowned: "Thatâs not right, she shouldnât have hidden this from you. Did she confess to you and you rejected her?"
Lin Ze shook his head again and recounted what happened a few days ago.
"Damn!" Song Taoâs eyes widened.
"You mean you asked her out, made her wait for over an hour, stood her up, and didnât even send a message?"
Song Tao sighed: "Dude, I canât help you with this. No girl would tolerate that."
Lin Ze growled lowly: "I didnât expect it, I just got out the door when I received the news that my mom had fainted and was hospitalized! When I arrived at the hospital and thought to call her, I realized my phone was stolen! I thought Iâd explain it in a few days, but who knew? Who knew!"
Who knew when he tried to reach her, his calls went unanswered, and she was no longer in the country.
