Walking to the teacher's dormitory, scattered lights adorned the ancient red building. Even though it was winter, there were still remnants of Boston creeper on the walls, waiting in the cold wind for the warm sun of the coming year.
They entered the corridor. It was a typical tube-shaped apartment from the 70s and 80s. On the left and right sides of the stairs were narrow aisles with all kinds of junk piled up. There was old furniture, old sofas, old TV, bicycles, and even farm shovels. When passing by, they had to move sideways. If they were not careful, they would be injured by hidden weapons.
Xia Jinhe opened his handbag and rummaged through it for the key. At this time, a man coughed at the end of the aisle, followed by the sound of the toilet flushing and slippers moving quickly. A middle-aged man wearing glasses and red long johns came out.
The lights in the corridor were controlled by voice. The man's coughing turned all the lights on. When he saw Xia Jinhe coming back with a man and a woman, he didn't care about his image and shouted, "Professor Xia, did you just come back?"
Xia Jinhe replied indifferently and continued to open the door. When the man came over, he looked at Lu Yiwei with a strange gaze. Lu Yiwei nodded slightly and responded with a smile.
The door opened and the three of them went in, followed by the middle-aged man. He rubbed his arms back and forth with his body trembling. "Professor Xia, we can't let strangers stay overnight in our dormitory, especially men."
Xia Jinhe threw the key on the table and said coldly, "These two are my friends. It's none of your business!"
The man wasn't annoyed. He pointed at Lu Yiwei and asked, "Is this your friend too?"
Xia Jinhe suddenly made a bold move. He stepped forward and held Lu Yiwei's arm. "Yes, this is my boyfriend. Are you satisfied now?"
The man's expression was extremely ugly. He wanted to say something but stopped. After muttering a few words, he turned around and left.
After the man left, Xia Jinhe quickly withdrew his hand and stammered, "Yiwei, sit!"
Xia Jinhe's inexplicable behavior made Lu Yiwei somewhat puzzled. Just now, although there was a thick cotton-padded coat between them, Lu Yiwei could still feel the warmth in Xia Jinhe's cold and elegant appearance, which went straight to his heart. After Lu Yiwei sat down, he carefully observed the small room. There was a desk, a single bed, an antique file cabinet, and a simple wardrobe. That was all the big stuff, and the rest were small things.
The room was simple, but it was very clean. Especially on the bed, the quilt was neatly folded, the bedsheet was almost wrinkled, and there was even a teddy bear placed on it. There was an old-fashioned computer on the desk, with some photos on it. Most of them were of single people, with backgrounds of China and the United States. They were youthful and full of energy.
Placing a cup of tea before Lu Yiwei, Xia Jinhe smiled. "This room is simple, and the conditions aren't good. I hope that you won't take it to heart."
"It's pretty good. I've always wanted to have my own nest, but I've never had one after so many years." Lu Yiwei replied.
Yao Na had told her about Lu Yiwei's past, but Xia Jinhe didn't want to talk about it, so she changed the topic, "Take a seat first. I'll clean up the room for you next door."
After Xia Jinhe left, Yao Na came over and whispered, "Did you see that lecher? He's almost 35, and he's still single. He has been coveting our Jinhe and often comes to harass him. In the future, I'll leave Jinhe's safety to you. "
"Whether it succeeds or not is another matter. Don't you think it's too early to say that?" Lu Yiwei smiled.
"I've just asked Jinhe, and she doesn't have any opinion about you. She feels that you're a down-to-earth person, and she's willing to continue with you. If she wasn't willing, she wouldn't have brought you to the dormitory. You're a smart person, but you're still so dumb!" Yao Na replied with a straight face.
With a silly smile, Lu Yiwei suddenly felt that he was a little slow. It was already late, and after Xia Jinhe tidied up the room next door, Lu Yiwei went to bed. After Yao Na and Xia Jinhe washed up, they laid on the bed and chatted.
Yao Na and Xia Jinhe were high school classmates, and the two of them were close at that time. They were practically inseparable. After high school, Xia Jinhe was admitted into a university, while Yao Na was admitted into a junior college due to her mediocre grades. After graduation, Xia Jinhe went to America, while Yao Na was assigned to the County Urban Construction Bureau. Over the years, even though the two of them were far apart, the contact between them had never been interrupted. This kind of friendship was really not easy.
Yao Na had a child, and Xia Jinhe was still single. Yao Na was naturally anxious for her good sister. If she hadn't been transferred to the Chuangwei Command Center, Yao Na would definitely not have thought of Lu Yiwei. It seemed that everything was destined. Lu Yiwei happened to break up with his girlfriend, so Yao Na couldn't wait to arrange for the two to meet.
Xia Jinhe had a good impression of Lu Yiwei. A clean and handsome face, neat and smart attire, and a well-proportioned figure, which basically conformed to her aesthetic standards. In fact, Xia Jinhe's requirements were not high. She didn't care about the other party's family or past. As long as the person was healthy and had affinity with her, it was fine.
In fact, this requirement was quite high. What was affinity with her? There were too many complicated elements in it. With such good conditions, there must be a lot of suitors, but why was she still single for so many years? It was because she hadn't met anyone who had affinity with her. And the appearance of Lu Yiwei made her eyes light up. She firmly believed that this person was the person she had been searching for.
Xia Jinhe belonged to the kind of cold and elegant and noble beauty, commonly known as the "ice beauty". She always treated people with an indifferent expression, and her heart was very strong. No matter how big the matter was, she would hide her emotions in the bottom of her heart, and no subtle changes could be seen on her face. She had a calm and composed look. For a woman with such potential, being a teacher was really a bit of a grievance. However, she liked simplicity, and this kind of life was also what she wanted. Character determined fate, it wasn't unreasonable.
Yao Na understood Xia Jinhe too well, so she didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Rosa, Lu Yiwei is a good person, but it's a pity that he is married twice. After a period of decline in his career, it will definitely improve in the future. What do you think?"
Xia Jinhe hugged her head and looked at the dancing stars in the sky through the gap of the curtains. "I don't care about this, as long as he is good."
Yao Na turned to the side and said, "Don't be too careless. I know you haven't gotten rid of your previous relationship. If it succeeds, then it's fine. If it doesn't, then forget it. I'll find you a better one, okay?"
Xia Jinhe smiled and shook her head. "My heart is already dead. Don't mention that ungrateful thing to me again. I've already said that Lu Yiwei is a good person. As long as he doesn't despise me for being an old lady, it's fine. "
Yao Na blushed and rubbed Xia Jinhe's shoulder. "Rosa, it's not that I want to nag you, but you are too stubborn. You say that you have forgotten him, but have you really forgotten him? I don't think so. Also, if you think that Lu Yiwei is a good person, then take the initiative and change that stinky face of yours. Don't always give people the cold look. If this goes on, even the most outstanding man will be scared away by you. "
Xia Jinhe turned around and smiled. "Sister Na, I understand. Don't worry, I'm no longer a three-year-old child. I know what to do. Uh … I have a pretty good impression of Lu Yiwei. Let's not talk about other things. My intuition tells me that he is the person who will accompany me for the rest of my life. " As Xia Jinhe spoke, she thought back to the time when she sat in the university's auditorium and watched Lu Yiwei arguing with each other. Ripples appeared in her heart. Who would have thought that after so many years, the two of them would miraculously come together?
Yao Na felt a lot more at ease when she heard this. She hugged Xia Jinhe and said, "I'm relieved to be able to settle your matter."
Lu Yiwei was lying in the dormitory next door. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He originally thought that he would be sad for a long time after breaking up with Su Meng. But now, he felt relaxed. In addition, he was very opposed to blind dates. If it wasn't for Yao Na forcing him, he wouldn't have come today. But after seeing Xia Jinhe, he felt that he was wrong. It wasn't the hot-blooded heroism of a young man, but the calm thinking of a middle-aged man made him more certain that this woman was the type he liked.
As mentioned earlier, Lu Yiwei had a crush on Tuo Ya, a girl who came from the Great Prairie. And Xia Jinhe's personality was surprisingly similar to Tuo Ya's. She was cold and elegant, and there was no lack of feminine charm. There was an unpredictable charm between her brows, which deeply attracted Lu Yiwei.
A shooting star in the night only existed for an instant, but it was formed in an eternity.
