Chapter 7: You used to be my goddess

  It's already past 3 pm, and the temperature in Ice City has clearly dropped. Liu Meng walked steadily through this former campus of his, starting from the 7th dormitory and circling around the school.

  Apartment 8 next to apartment 7, there is a ping-pong room in the basement. Not long after school started, Eldest, Dongdong and others often came over to play ping-pong. Liu Meng's ball skills were the worst, because he was zero-based, before going to college, it can be said that all kinds of sports and entertainment projects, one will not.

  The family was poor, so during the summer vacation, entertainment activities were just a group of little friends swimming and chasing each other in a small river ditch, or going to the neighboring village in groups to steal watermelons.

  These little rascals are so cruel, holding a big watermelon in their hands and trampling the smaller ones underfoot, being deeply hated by those melon farmers who often set dogs on them.

  Winter vacation, was in the village team's abandoned house playing marbles, playing cards, everyone's noses were frozen and runny with snot, having a great time.

  All the way until Spring Festival, I started picking up unexploded firecrackers everywhere, peeling out the gunpowder, and my hands were not idle without getting hurt.

  Turning a corner is the Second Canteen, which is relatively far from the main building. Normally, you don't have to queue for too long to eat here, and the food is quite good. During military training, we ate here.

  Walking to the entrance of the Second Canteen, you can see the plastic sports field. There is a lot of empty space around the sports field. I still remember that not long after the start of school, the founder of Crazy English came to Heilongjiang University of Science and Technology. That was also the first time Liu Meng saw someone with some fame.

  At that time, the scene was really shocking. The entire stadium was packed with students holding small pieces of paper and shouting English slogans together with the founder of Crazy towards the sky.

  Moreover, many classmates bought Crazy English teaching materials, Liu Meng also gritted his teeth and bought one. In order to study, he even specially bought a Bbg mini repeater, for a period of time, early in the morning, he ran to the edge of the stadium and shouted loudly.

  But anyway, I still haven't learned English well.

  And later on, the founder of Crazy English was indeed crazy, with news of him beating his wife and getting a divorce causing quite a stir.

  Thinking back to those sighs, at that time I was indeed too young and naive.

  Walking around the stadium, I came to the south side, where it was a vacant lot. Nowadays, this place is still smoky, but in winter, it's bustling with activity, as it's the ice rink built by Harbin Institute of Technology itself.

  Ice skating is still fun.

  The ice rink is further south, which is the main building, where many courses are held, and room 508 here is the machine room. Throughout the first year, Liu Meng spent more than half of his time in room 508, inserting a 3.5-inch floppy disk with limited capacity, and the hard-won results were stored inside.

  This thing is too unstable, often inexplicably losing files, leaving Liu Meng with no choice but to rewrite in a state of madness.

  Just as I was about to enter the very grand main building, a sign in front of me read: "Today in the history of Ice City Industrial University", this section was once entrusted by Director Li Xin to Liu Meng for a week.

  A little girl walked right up to him, instantly drawing Liu Meng's eyeballs. You know, in a place like Ice City Industrial University, beauties are rare and hard to come by.

  It's a bit difficult to meet a girl.

  All I saw was a beautiful woman wearing headphones, with very loud music playing American heavy metal that was full of feeling, dressed in sportswear and sports shoes.

  Even later on, Liu Meng still had a preference for girls with a bold and heroic personality, usually those who wore sporty clothes were more likely to have such qualities.

  This girl has very white skin, big eyes, and a high gaze. She didn't even give Liu Mang a glance, how could she possibly notice such an unremarkable short and thin guy?

  My head spun around for a moment, isn't this that guy, what's his name again?

  That's right!

  Liu Meng finally remembered her name.

  How could I have forgotten her? She was the first girl I had a crush on at Harbin Institute of Technology.

  It was the time when emotions were just awakening, and it was easy to have a good impression of girls who caught one's eye. Moreover, after experiencing three years of repression in high school, the emotional outburst was like a flood bursting through the dam, extremely swift and violent.

  The Department of Electrical Engineering has a total of 8 classes. Liu Meng is in Class 3, and this girl is in Class 2, also serving as a class cadre, seemingly the art committee member.

  Each class's small cadres' contact information was made into a table by instructor Li Xin, which naturally included Gu Pan's phone number.

  Loved beauty but didn't dare to express his feelings, mainly because Liu Meng's face was too tender at that time, and also because he was a poor student, with no money, and had no confidence in his heart.

  They first send text messages with their phone number, then make a call, but don't dare to meet in person. The other party has already known who he is through the phone number, but pretends not to know, actually just playing with him like a Sunday pastime, passing time.

  At the end of the first semester of freshman year, Liu Meng mustered up the courage to say he wanted to meet her, but the girl didn't take him seriously and that was the end of it.

  This girl and Zheng Wen, who was in the same class as Liu Meng, were both from Ice City and had a good relationship. Later, I heard Zheng Wen mention that her boyfriend in college was a high school classmate, but he went abroad later. Then, Gu Xian married a very ugly and extremely lecherous local tyrant.

  Later saw their wedding photos on social media.

  Watching Gu Dian getting farther and farther away, Liu Meng was still hesitant about whether to get to know her or not. He just felt that in this life, he must be more open-minded, and he must resolve the lingering shadow and regret from back then. He had never dared to greet Gu Dian openly and have a proper conversation with her face-to-face.

  If I still act according to my usual character, then I can only repeat the tragedy, and I must change. Liu Meng, who had made up his mind, no longer hesitated.

  Liu Meng's personality is a typical contradictory body. When dealing with family and loved ones, he will be like an innocent child, naive and enthusiastic; when dealing with unrelated people, he rarely shows pity, thinking that those who are pitied must have something despicable about them, all because of weaknesses in his character, not making progress; when dealing with enemies or people who provoke him, once he has the opportunity, he will think of ways to strike back until the other person is afraid.

  Nowadays, even if it's someone who has nothing to do with you, or someone who annoys you, or someone who used to annoy you.

  He walked up quickly and patted Gu Xun's shoulder directly.

  It was Gu who was startled, taking two steps back and shifting his center of gravity, assuming the starting stance of Taekwondo, looking at this uninvited guest with a strange gaze, thinking that he must not be a madman.

  "Hello, I'm Liu Meng. You're Gu Tian, right?" Liu Meng said with a calm smile, trying to make himself look peaceful and normal, preferably a bit elegant.

  "Who are you? I know you? Where did you come from? What are you blindly talking about? What are you trying to get at? Believe me, I'll deal with you."

  A string of northeastern flavor shot out from her mouth, and Liu Meng was overwhelmed.

  This girl is really a Northeastern tigress.

  A bead of sweat rolled quietly down from Liu's forehead.

  “shutup！”

  "Don't say anything yet, listen to me."

  "I just took a look at you and thought you looked pretty good, so I'm telling you, nothing else to it."

  Liu Meng was also furious, and his impression of Gu Xian was extremely bad. He naturally wouldn't be polite, thinking to himself: I'm not even a match for you now, little girl, I might as well just swallow my own feces and die.

  Suddenly, she was caught off guard by a bold confession. For a moment, she couldn't understand if this weird guy was making a pass at her or not. She had seen many guys make passes before, but most of them would hold up a note with trembling hands and a dull gaze. Who would have thought that this guy would be so brazen?

  Suddenly, she felt even more disgusted and thought to herself, "Can't you see your own character? You're dressed so tackily, so short, so skinny, which mountain village did you come from?" She really wanted to ask him, "You're so country bumpkin, do you have the nerve to confess to me?"

  "I don't like you at all, confess already, finish confessing, and get lost."

  Liu Meng's temper flared up instantly, good temper is only for polite people, such an arrogant woman must be struck down mercilessly, struck down again and again.

  "Don't be so smug, I just think you look a little bit pretty, that's all. Even if you were to be my girlfriend, I'd still have to consider it carefully. You look good, but if you're empty inside, you're just an empty shell."

  "You bastard, are you kidding me? You're talking nonsense and think I'll be your girlfriend? Even if all the men in the world were dead and I was blind, I still wouldn't choose you. Get out of my sight." Gu Xian's temper flared up, what kind of person is this, no one has ever spoken to her like that before.

  She also practiced Taekwondo and said so while walking over with a raised trouser leg.

  Liu Meng quickly turned back and entered the main building, saying with a hard mouth: "You actually scolded your own father, too unfilial. A good man doesn't fight with a woman, I won't bother with you."

  Speed up the pace of running, this small board is really not necessarily beat Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan still belongs to a relatively plump sports athlete.

  He got up early in the morning for a run and thought to himself: I must grow to 176cm as soon as possible and work out to get an eight-pack.

  Without a tough body, how can you survive in Northeast China where there are tigresses everywhere?

  The more I think about it on the way, the angrier I get. What is this? A confession from a mentally ill stalker? Pick-up line? Neither of them makes sense, as disgusting as stepping in dog poop.

  Back home, still in a bad mood, she kicked off her shoes and walked into the spacious and luxurious living room with bare feet. Her mother scolded her and quickly got her slippers, also noticing that she was not in a good mood.

  Rouyin asked: "Pangpang, what's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with Dui?"

  "It's not like that at all." Gu Pan said stiffly, her face frozen in a scowl.

  "Oh no, who made our baby angry? Is it that Du Yi kid again? I'll go find his parents right now. How dare he bully our little Panpan!"

  "Oh dear mom, I've already said it's not Du Yi Ge, stop worrying about it."

  "What's going on, tell Mom about it, huh? Mom and you are good friends, no secrets between us, right?"

  I told Liu Meng about what happened today as soon as I got back.

  Mom listened and wanted to laugh out loud, but was afraid of laughing and making Mengmeng unhappy, so she held it in until her face turned red.

  "Mom, you're making fun of me, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Humph, I just got a hyaluronic acid injection, be careful or my face will freeze like this."

  As soon as she said that, her mother immediately lost her smile, touched her cheek, and was slightly worried: "Is it so serious?", hurriedly hugged her baby daughter in her arms, and comforted her: "This little guy is quite interesting, actually!"

  "But remember, Du Yi is my chosen son-in-law, I won't accept anyone else! When you're at Ice City Industrial University, be careful, Du Yi isn't studying in Ice City, I'll have to help him keep an eye on you."

  Gu Xuanzuan squirmed in her mother's arms, blushing and saying "Are you my mom or Du Yige's mom? We haven't even...".
