Chapter 18 Playing the long game to catch the big fish ()

Zhao Jiadi was smoking a cigarette and lying on the chair in a daze. He had no reason to miss the days when his sister Wang Banjin was not crazy. After that incident, Wang Banjin went to Imperial College to eat, drink and have fun. He was no longer fine.

He was wasting his time and teasing the good man Zhao Baliang, and Brother Baliang gradually adapted to the days when no one got under the bed in the morning in Zhaojiacun to study the size of his lifeblood. There were no longer any women accompanying him to measure his height and it turned out that he was one centimeter taller.

It's still half a centimeter. Now Zhao Jiadi still occasionally wonders whether he should have knocked Wang Banjin out when she was a nun at the age of 30. Unknowingly, he lit the Yuxi cigarette in his hand, and then without knowing it

Unconsciously, the burnt cigarette burned him, and he threw the cigarette butt on the ground. Zhao Jiadi, who at least still had a sense of public morality, immediately stood up and wanted to pick up the cigarette butt, but found that someone had already squatted down to help him pick it up.

Mu Hongli, who walked out of the infirmary after a serious illness, had a much rosier face, because she had a very strong aura of a female literary youth, which inevitably meant that she was a bit repulsive. This unconventional rosiness made her look extremely attractive. Zhao Jia

At this moment, he neither coveted Mu Hongli nor had any paranoid thoughts about tit-for-tat in the classroom. He smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "I'm going to throw it away."

Mu Hongli hesitated to speak, but returned the cigarette butt to the young man she thought was called "Zhao Jiadi". Not wanting to wait for an insubstantial "thank you", Zhao Jiadi said kindly: "Then I'll leave first."

Throwing the cigarette butt into the trash can in the corridor, Zhao Jiadi walked cleanly and without any sloppiness. However, when he counted to 10, Mu Hongli had already followed him, but did not speak. Zhao Jiadi walked according to his memory.

Turning back along the original route, the bell rang when they passed a teaching building. Zhao Jiadi, who had originally planned to go back to the old school, couldn't help but ask, "Are you coming with me?"

Mu Hongli smiled and shook her head.

"I'm so grateful. Are you going to pledge yourself to me?" Zhao Jiadi put his hands behind his head and said something that would only be said in front of a specific person in a specific scene. It was neither serious nor treasonous.

"I am really grateful, but I am not ready to commit myself to you." Mu Hongli walked lightly, probably in a good mood. She stared at the face of the man not far from her. He was very young, but not immature. As for whether he was mature or mature,

Mu Hongli does not have piercing eyes, nor is she particularly discerning. Since she did not fall in love with Zhao Jia at first sight, she naturally cannot see that after all, she is just a good child in the traditional sense who has an excellent tutor but lives in an ivory tower and a greenhouse. She is slightly

He said sincerely and guiltily, "No matter who appears in your seat today and is picked out as a negative example by the Russian lecturer, I will not speak for him. Therefore, this has nothing to do with your identity or knowledge."

"You want me to take back that comment?" Zhao Jiadi said with a smile.

"No, that's your freedom. I just give my own explanation. I never try to convince anyone to argue with anyone. It's too thankless to occupy the moral high ground." Mu Hongli shook her head.

"Well, it's good that you have a clear conscience." Zhao Jiadi nodded. Mu Hongli's explanation was more reasonable. I guess this girl was tired of too many wild bees and butterflies dancing around her, so she would naturally be bitten by a snake.

I am used to keeping a distance from this group. Zhao Jiadi has always been very self-aware in this regard. He leapt across ranks and ranks to pursue the superior goddess, so it was reasonable to be treated as being included in the camp of the toad army at the beginning.

"Long live understanding." Mu Hongli smiled and agreed with Zhao Jiadi's so-called clear conscience.

Zhao Jiadi stopped and looked at Mu Hongli carefully, then he grinned with straight white teeth and said with a smile: "That's it, no goodbye. One last correction, my name is Zhao Jiadi, Jiangnan

The best of the best.”

No goodbye?

Mu Hongli was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the back, Mu Hongli wrinkled her delicate nose quietly and said to herself: "You are really prouder than me."

This time she didn't intend to catch up, because the first time she rushed out of the classroom she wanted to give a simple and clear explanation, the second time she rushed out of the infirmary because she wanted to say thank you, but when she followed the boy again, the taste changed.

That was no longer something Mu Hongli could bear. She didn't want to mislead anyone or imply anyone. But Mu Hongli suddenly caught a glimpse of the soaked back of Zhao Jiadi's T-shirt. The sun above his head was too hot, and he was dripping with sweat after just a few steps.

This reminded Mu Hongli of the scene of the boy running across campus carrying her on his back, thinking that he must have been very tired at that time. In his vague memory, even when he arrived at the infirmary, he had not wiped out sweat once.

This kind of person, no matter how bad he is, will never be bad to the core, right?

So Mu Hongli, who fell in love with an animal at the wrong time and in the wrong place, shouted: "Zhao Jiadi, I'll treat you to lunch."

Well, the men and women who poured out of the teaching building after class and rushed to the teaching building for class suddenly stared at the Russian flower who was determined not to fall in love and had been invulnerable for three years, as if they had seen a ghost during the day, and they did not recognize Mu Hongli.

All the male animals regretted putting a good flower in the manure pit. Some guys who had heard or seen Mu Hongli's style were even more stunned. It was so unprecedented. Mu Hongli, who regarded men as ants, actually took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the opposite sex?

"Is there wine and meat?" Zhao Jiadi turned around and asked in a silly and cheerful manner, ignoring the many eyes nearby that looked at him as an idiot.

"Drink from a big bowl and eat a big piece of meat." Mu Hongli covered her mouth and said with a smile, this guy is so cute.

Zhao Jiadi and Mu Hongli walked together naturally. Although it was only around ten o'clock, they could barely get to the lunch spot with a little delay. Although Mu Hongli was still not used to the strange "scrutiny" of the alumni around him.

"But after a while, I saw Zhao Jia's confident look for the first time, and I was very happy. I felt that this guy was really not a mortal. He just pretended to be stupid and idiotic in class and let the lecturer do his best for a long time, and then in high school -

The tide delivered a fatal blow, and finally left the battlefield in a brilliant manner. In fact, if the last paragraph was not too personal, Mu Hongli felt that it was a perfect one-man show. After all, in foreign languages, few students can excel academically.

Realm overwhelmed the mentor's momentum, and seeing Zhao Jiadi suddenly snickering, Mu Hongli asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Jiadi confessed honestly, "I thought we were a bit like the Condor Heroes at first, but after thinking about it, I felt that the guys next to me who almost had their eyes popping out must think that you are the little dragon girl, and I am at most that

You're just playing a small role."

Mu Hongli almost laughed out loud regardless of her image, and lowered her voice: "Don't tell bad jokes, my stomach still hurts."

"Generally speaking, it is okay to slice large angelica root and decoct it in water, or grind sophora flavescens and mix it with vinegar to swallow. These Chinese medicine prescriptions are all beneficial and harmless. They are more reliable than going to the doctor's office. Girls' health

You need to take good care of yourself, otherwise there will be many sequelae." Zhao Jiadi said softly.

Mu Hongli's face was tender and her cheeks were flushed. She didn't dare to respond. After all, people of the same sex can talk freely about dysmenorrhea. It's not that shameless to discuss it in depth with a boy. After a long time, Mu Hongli asked softly: "How do you understand this?"

"My grandfather was a local doctor when he was young. Later, he did not learn anything about elementary school. When I was a child, I always went into the mountains with him to collect herbs." Zhao Jiadi wrote lightly, "You are suffering from cold pain. If you can trust me, I will give you some advice."

You can prescribe a folk prescription, but the ingredients are a bit complicated, so I have to go to the pharmacy."

"Is this okay?" Mu Hongli said hesitantly, as if it was too troublesome for Zhao Jiadi, and for some reason she didn't suspect that Zhao Jiadi was a poor medical practitioner.

"Are you afraid that I will give you arsenic? Or sweat medicine?" Zhao Jiadi joked.

"I thought you were going to imitate a hero and ride away from the dust. Why are you still worried about the life and death of a weak woman like me?" Mu Hongli snorted, obviously still determined to leave Zhao Jia for the third time.

Worrying about it.

"A hero must have the demeanor of a hero, or else he will be regarded as a charlatan who wholesale sells the Sunflower Book or the Nine Yin Manual? This is called playing a long game to catch the big fish." Zhao Jiadi laughed.

The jokes are over here. Zhao Jiadi opened a dyeing workshop without getting a few colors. Mu Hongli gave some to Muhongli because the sun was too bright and it would only dazzle the eyes. Zhao Jiadi's words about "playing a long game to catch big fish" are not fake.

Being outstanding in science has given Zhao Jiadi an additional advantage, which is that he has an extremely clear grasp of the sense of distance. This is not simply the length of a line from a to b, but also includes the physical and mental distance between a man and a woman.
