The flowers are still sweet in Pinellia

Chapter 13

"Hey, the debate competition?" Shen Yiru exclaimed, causing the eyes of the three people in the dormitory to shift to her instantly.

"What's wrong?" Yang Xiao asked with some doubts.

Shen Yiru waved her hand, motioning her to keep silent, "Ah Xuan, I know your kindness, but I don't really want to go to the debate competition between the law departments of the two schools. Our dormitory? They should be the same. How do you Ask me this out of the blue."

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yiru looked at the crowd, "Ah Xuan said he wanted us to watch a debate match. But I refused."

"Debate competition?" Yang Xiao asked, "Is it held by our school?"

"Yeah. The debate match between S University and N University next door."

"N big?" Mu Yan was taken aback for a moment.

"En." Shen Yiru nodded, "It was organized by S University, and the two law schools held a friendly debate."

"Senior brother, the law school of N University, did you say who will be sent to the stage?" Mu Yan asked eagerly, "Did you say the name of the person?"

"Well, this Ah Xuan didn't tell me, but I heard from him that this year N University decided to let two new freshmen participate. I heard that the two newcomers are quite good." Shen Yiru said with emotion, "Scholar The law, with a sharp tongue, is the same as we learn languages."

"Brother, can you tell your ah Xuan, I want to see it." Mu Yan looked at Shen Yiru fixedly, with a firmness that could not be rejected in her tone.

Shen Yiru looked at Mu Yan in amazement, "Hey, do you want to see it, Mu Yan, a group of people are arguing over a question, is it interesting?"

Mu Yan nodded, "I want to see it, can you contact me?"

"Yeah." Looking at Mu Yan with a determined face, Shen Yiru picked up the phone again, "Okay, then I'll contact you again."

Shen Yiru went out to make a phone call, Dong Fangjing walked to her side and asked softly, "Mu Yan, are you going?"

"Well. I'm going." She was going, she had to go, she had to go no matter what.

With Mu Yan's persistence, Dong Fangjing understood that since the start of school, Mu Yan seldom went to N University on weekend afternoons, but went to N University's law building to wait whenever she had time.

The chances of them seeing each other during the course of the semester are even slimmer, she said.And this debate competition is the best opportunity to meet him, how could Mu Yan miss it?

The debate between N University and S University is scheduled to be held in the central auditorium of S University. S University is the organizer and should provide the venue, equipment and personnel.According to the news from Chen Xuanlin, the debate competition will be held in the central auditorium of S University at 14:30 on Tuesday.

Mu Yan and Dong Fangjing set off from the dormitory and walked for about half an hour before arriving at the school's central auditorium. This was the second time they had stepped into this place.

Mu Yan smiled lightly at the girl beside her, "Xusha, thank you for being with me."

"Mu Yan, based on our relationship, don't talk about it. I just don't know if it's him." Dong Fangjing was a little worried. Mu Yan expected so much. If it wasn't for that Lin Xia, how sad Mu Yan would be. She dare not imagine.

Mu Yan stared into the distance helplessly, "Yeah, we'll only find out when we're on stage."

The waiting process was long. After the two entered the arena, they found a moderate seat and sat down.There are more and more students around to watch, except for the staff who are busy on the stage, but there is still no figure they expect.

"Proposition [-], [-], [-], [-], counter-defense [-], [-], [-], [-]." Dong Fangjing looked at the nameplates set up by the staff, and asked, "Mu Yan, our school is the organizer, so it should be The defense."

"It should be. Debates are all in groups of four, and whoever organizes them should be the affirmative."

"But I really didn't expect so many students to come to see it." Looking at the densely packed students around, Dong Fangjing expressed emotion, "I thought only students from the law school would come."

"Well. Besides the law school students, there are also some people who really like to debate." Mu Yan paused, looked at Dong Fangjing, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her lips, "Of course there are people like us who have a special purpose." who came."

Dong Fangjing laughed muffledly and looked towards the stage.Finally, when the audience applauded enthusiastically, the protagonist on the stage arrived late.

Mu Yan stared at the staff without blinking. At the end, she smiled softly, "It turns out that the two freshmen in the legend are him and her."

"What's wrong?" Dong Fangjing was a little puzzled, "Isn't there him?"

There was a hint of a smile on his face, "The second argument on the opposite side is Lin Xia." The third argument on the opposite side is that girl.

Eh?Dong Fangjing suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking at the boy sitting on the right.Is that handsome boy Lin Xia?No wonder when he came on stage just now, there was quite a commotion in the audience, but she didn't expect that he was the one Mu Yan was thinking of.

The host said "the debate begins", and the two sides immediately started a war of words.The theme of this debate revolved around "can the pursuit of money and morality be unified?" Several people on the stage argued brilliantly, and the audience listened attentively.

Suddenly, a burst of low-pitched discussions reached Dong Fangjing's ears.She looked to her right, and the two girls sitting next to her were also having a lively discussion.

"The second defense of the opposite side is very handsome. Just now the second defense of the affirmative side asked him a question, and his answer was really wonderful. Of course, he is also good-looking."

"Yeah, he cooperated very well with the opposing party's three debates, aren't they a couple?"

"Very good, right, two of you."

Dong Fangjing glanced at them. The girl thought her words had disturbed her, so she quickly shut her mouth and looked seriously at the stage.

Dong Fangjing returned her attention to the stage, and the wonderful performance of the second debate of the opposite side won warm applause from the audience.Lin Xia, it turned out that the boy who was speechless during the affirmative and second arguments was Lin Xia who Mu Yan had always liked.

"It's amazing." Dong Fangjing couldn't help admiring. Just now, Lin Xia seized a weakness in the words of Zheng Fang's second debate, and then launched a series of attacks on him, and his teammate, the opponent's third defense, did his part. Zhengfang also launched a challenge.

"Yes, he has always been excellent." Mu Yan smiled, whether it was before or now.

He was so outstanding on the stage, even though he was only a freshman, he was able to fight the opponents with his tongue and make the affirmative speechless.

Dong Fangjing glanced at Mu Yan, and then looked at Lin Xia who was thinking seriously on the stage.

Finally, this time Mu Yan didn't pretend, but appeared in front of him with her true face.

However, with so many people in the audience, he couldn't see her.

The core of the debate competition lies in the word "debate". The debaters of S University and N University are evenly matched.You attack and I defend, you defend and I attack, and neither side admits defeat.It can be said that there is no real winner or loser in the debate.

Finally, the debate ended perfectly with the warm applause of the audience.

Looking at the bustling scattered crowd around, Mu Yan smiled slightly at Dong Fangjing, "Shasha, can you wait with me for a while?"

Dong Fangjing didn't speak, just nodded.

Time passed by every minute and every second, more than half of the audience in the audience had left, and when there were only a few people left in the venue, Dong Fangjing patted Mu Yan's hand, "Mu Yan, let's go, They've all gone backstage."

"Well. It's good to see him once." She shouldn't be too greedy, this is enough.Mu Yan turned her head and smiled apologetically at Dong Fangjing, "Shasha, can you wait for me a little longer, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door." Dong Fangjing nodded, Mu Yan's smile made her feel a little relieved, seeing him, isn't this exactly what Mu Yan hoped for?

……

It's just that she didn't expect that Mu Yan would look like that five minutes later.

"Mu Yan..." Seeing her pale face, Dong Fangjing hurried up to support her, "What's wrong?"

Mu Yan shook her head, but didn't speak.

That girl was the person she had met a few times.

Although she doesn't want to admit it, she is her, and her face has been deeply engraved in Mu Yan's heart, and she can't forget it even if she wants to.

If she had known she wouldn't go to the bathroom, she might have been able to lie to herself a little longer.

"What's going on?" Dong Fangjing was very upset, didn't she just go to the bathroom, could it be?
Suddenly, a possibility came to her mind, "Mu Yan, have you seen him?"

Mu Yan's voice trembled a little, "Yes, not only saw him, but also saw a very exciting picture."

She slowly closed her eyes, trying to restrain herself from thinking about what she had just seen.

Hearing this, Dong Fangjing suddenly opened her eyes wide and was completely taken aback, "What's going on, what exciting scene?"

Mu Yan showed a wry smile, and said softly, "At the door of the bathroom, he was hugging a girl, I saw it."

When she walked in, she happened to see such a picture, Lin Xia was hugging a girl, handsome and beautiful, what a seductive picture, but in her eyes, it became ironic.

Mu Yan recognized at a glance that the girl was the opponent Sanbian who was on the stage just now, and she was also the girl who carried her luggage for her and went to class with him.

After a while, Dong Fangjing asked softly again, "Did he see you?"

There was a bit of bitterness on the corner of his lips, "No, he didn't see me, his back was facing me."

Dong Fangjing wanted to say, if he saw you and still hugged that girl, maybe it was really to stimulate you.However, since Lin Xia didn't see her, she still did that.Maybe they really have an unusual relationship.Dong Fangjing hesitated for a moment, but finally did not speak.

"Now I should finally believe that he really let go, I should bless him, shouldn't I?"

Dong Fangjing held Mu Yan's hand, she didn't know what to say at this moment.

Shen Yiru went out with her boyfriend, Yang Xiao went to participate in club activities, Dong Fangjing was the only one in the dormitory to accompany Mu Yan.

"Mu Yan..." Dong Fangjing patted her quilt, "Is it better?"

Since just now, Mu Yan has covered her in the quilt by herself, neither eating nor drinking, and if this continues... Dong Fangjing patted the quilt again, "Mu Yan, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry, cry Just come out, okay?"

Mu Yan didn't respond, and Dong Fangjing didn't know what she should say, so she sighed.

Suddenly, a pale face emerged from the quilt. Seeing her appearance, Dong Fangjing hurriedly asked, "Mu Yan, are you okay?"

"Fang Jing, I, I know I should give up, but, I... Seeing him hugging that girl, I feel really sad, very sad..."

He hugged her, although his back was turned to her, but Mu Yan could still imagine the expression on his face, it must be very gentle.

She has never been a magnanimous person, when she saw Lin Xia being intimate with another girl, she was really jealous and very sad.

She obviously told him that she never loved him, but when she saw him getting intimate with other girls, what right did she have to complain?

What qualifications does she have?Obviously hurt him like that, is he qualified to make him dislike others?

"Since you still love him, then after the college entrance examination, you can explain to him...that you are for him..."

"No." Mu Yan interrupted Dong Fangjing with a bleak smile, "Actually, I originally wanted to talk to him, but when I saw his disgusted eyes when I graduated from high school, I backed down."

"Dislike?" Dong Fangjing was stunned.

"Yeah..." She clearly remembered that when the graduation photo was taken, the teacher asked them to stand on the prepared table, and because she was tall, she was arranged in the last row.It's just that she never thought that Lin Xia was standing behind her.She accidentally leaned back, and the boy behind immediately let out a 'cut'. She looked back, but saw Lin Xia's expression of cold disgust.The eyes that hate the enemy like that hurt more than words.

"The confidence I built with great difficulty is gone. I dare not look him in the eyes, and I am even more afraid to hear his mocking words. I am afraid to hear him say, you said you acted such a drama for me You are so noble, may I be grateful that you are playing me like a monkey?

I'm scared, really scared, I'm afraid that if this happens, I won't even have the chance and courage to see him again.

So I concealed it and applied to S University, which is adjacent to N University. I stubbornly thought that all I needed to do was see his back, but after seeing him again, I still wanted to see him.Time and time again, like a drug, you get addicted and you can't quit. "

Tears, like raindrops with a broken thread, fell down.

However, he couldn't see it.

Dong Fangjing patted Mu Yan's shoulder lightly, why didn't she understand Mu Yan's feelings, because she also liked someone once, for seven whole years.

She also naively thought that as long as she could see him, as long as she knew that he was within her reach, she would be happy every day.

However, on the day when she woke up from the dream, she realized how painful it would be to fall from the clouds.

It is often said that "time is the cure for all sorrows." But people often forget that some things are easier to remember the longer they are.

What can be remembered is called memory.

There are some people, the more they want to forget him, the more they remember him deeply.

Humans are selfish creatures. How many people can say "I wish you happiness" from the bottom of their hearts without any jealousy when they see their loved one holding another's hand?

People who really let go may do this, but even if they let go, there will always be a little thought in their hearts, the original thought.

Dong Fangjing sighed, "Mu Yan, if you don't mind, can you tell me the story between you and him?"

……

"Ah..." The girl staggered forward.

Lin Xia quickly embraced the girl, and asked softly, "Yao Jia, are you alright?"

"Hmm." The girl stabilized her body in the boy's arms and whispered, "Can you help me a little more?"

The boy nodded, still maintaining this action.

After the girl tidied up the high heels that didn't suit her, she quickly raised her eyes to look at him, and smiled apologetically, "Lin Xia, I seem to have been seen by someone just now, I'm sorry..."

Just now there happened to be a beautiful girl who wanted to come in. Seeing her shocked expression, she probably wouldn't speak out.

Hearing this, a trace of discomfort quickly flashed across the boy's handsome face, and he suddenly let go of her hand that was still on him.

"Thank you, Lin Xia, if it weren't for you, I would definitely have fallen."

"Yeah." The boy nodded without saying anything.In the lecture hall at this time, the audience had already dispersed, and there should be some staff members left behind. It shouldn't be a problem if they saw it, since the two of them didn't have that kind of relationship anyway.

The boy turned around and straightened his clothes, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.
