Figure 9 (above)

  Since Rui Xue's incident last week, my ears have been much cleaner.

  One day when I returned to the dormitory, Gao Yuanyuan asked me, "How come you haven't seen that little wife of yours at home for a while?"

  I said let me get rid of him, and Gao Yuanyuan even used an idiom to describe my feat at the time, called "great righteousness extinguishes kinship"

  ……

  So this is what female graduate students are like...

  That day I had just finished an experiment and returned to the dormitory, Liu Jing was online and saw me coming in, saying: "Your mobile phone has been ringing all the time."

  I just remembered that I forgot to bring my phone when I went to class, so I hurried over to the table to pick it up and take a look. Actually, there's probably only one person in all of Beijing who would be so anxious to find me... Shen Dong.

  I knew it...

  "Hello."

  He seemed to have just participated in some intense exercise, panting: "You're back?"

  "What's wrong? What have you been up to, panting like this?"

  "I didn't have class just now, I was playing ball with them."

  "Ahhh!!!!!!" I couldn't remain calm and shouted "You said you're playing ball? Basketball?????"

  He seemed to smile: "Yes, what are you so excited about?"

  OMG！

  You should have some self-awareness, okay? Don't you know how handsome you look when playing basketball?

  "Are you still playing? Now?"

  "Uh-huh, still fighting."

  "Wait for me! I'll go find you!" My excited hands waved wildly "Where? Where are you playing?"

  "Right at the gymnasium, you come. I'll wait for you."

  After hanging up the phone, I was like a chicken blood injection, my hands holding my cheeks and couldn't calm down no matter what. At the age of 20+, I blushed and had a racing heart for a young boy's handsome appearance, which sounds a bit unreasonable. But if this young boy were Shen Zhuo, I suddenly felt that this thing might be quite interesting!

  Liu Jing took a sip of water and looked at me: "Is that little handsome guy playing basketball?"

  I nodded slightly with some embarrassment.

  "How handsome!"

  "So handsome!!!!! He was admired by many girls in our school back then!!!"

  Liu Jing put down her water cup and looked at me solemnly: "I also want to see."

  "Alright, alright!" I nodded repeatedly "At the gym, let's go now."

  After arriving at the gym, they had already started playing. I don't know how many people were there, but basic basketball common sense still applied, so I only bought ten bottles of water, which was the kind of sports drink that Shen Dong loved to drink when he played ball.

  When I walked in, Shen Zhuo had just received a pass from his teammate and was about to launch an attack. Seeing me come in, he casually threw the ball to someone nearby and walked towards me. Everyone started to get a little confused, but when they saw me, they all burst out laughing.

  Even if I calm down, it's still embarrassing to get up. Shen Zhong turned his head and looked at those people: "Take a break, sister has bought water for you."

  After all, they are just a group of college students, with simple minds, rushing forward, drinking water while glancing at me with their eyes. To be honest, I've been with Shen Zhuang for so long that I'm used to these scrutinizing gazes, and besides, they didn't have any malicious intentions, so I naturally pretended not to notice.

  There was a person hooking Shen Dong's shoulder and looking at me, smiling: "So you little guy really has a famous owner. I thought you were..."

  Although we didn't finish what we were saying, we both understood each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Shen Dang smiled helplessly: "You're just too imaginative."

  "Hey!" The man jumped up "It's not that I think too much, you said we're here... just what I've seen with my own eyes, so many beauties coming and going one after another. Brother, I've never seen you bat an eyelid. At that time, I was wondering if it could be that rich families are now interested in playing that..."

  He looked at me: "Sister, don't blame me for speaking directly... You said you didn't know Shen Duan's determination, we really thought he was going to spend the rest of his life with his own hands."

  I smiled but didn't speak, isn't this obviously helping Shen Zhuo say good things?

  "This is Xia Ri, who lives in the bed opposite me."

  What a special name!

  "My name is Liu Jia."

  Shen Duan introduced the people around him again, I remembered roughly, and just felt that Xia Ri was quite likable. No wonder Shen Duan was exceptionally good to him.

  I pushed Liu Jing in front of me: "Hey, this is my roommate and classmate, Liu Jing."

  Liu Jing somewhat shyly greeted everyone, and a few people jokingly said she was the belle of the group. Liu Jing smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.

  "Uh..." A boy named Han Sixu who was sitting on the ground suddenly said "Next week's exam is Thought and Morality."

  "Good grief! I completely forgot about this! I haven't attended a single class!"

  Another boy chimed in: "What's there to be afraid of? Let Shen Zhuo go to the teacher's office, and a beauty trap will take care of everything. Ah...the answers will be there, and passing grades will be there too..."

  I smiled and said, "Thinking and moral education isn't that hard, is it?"

  Xia Ri walked over: "Sister, which university are you from?"

  "I'm just studying for my master's degree here."

  The words had just fallen. Several people burst into an uproar of unbelief, probably thinking it was unbelievable that I was older than Shen Zhuang.

  "Female graduate student..."

  I thought they were going to say something praiseworthy, and I had mentally prepared myself to accept the praise, but who knew their next sentence was...

  "Do you know Teacher Si Xiu?"

  I'm at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "There are so many moral education teachers in school, where can I go to get to know them?"

  "Ah!" Xia Ri anxiously grasped her hair "This is really making me unable to calm down!!!!!!"

  Everyone was amused by him, Shen Duan drank a mouthful of water and then stuffed the water into my arms, calling on everyone to start fighting again.

  Shen Zhuang playing basketball is really cool!

  His hair shines in the sunlight as he runs, giving off a different feeling from his usual self.

  Liu Jing sighed beside me: "Indeed, he's an extraordinary beautiful young man... I recall the manga I used to read when I was a kid... It turns out that there really are people this handsome in the world."

  I nodded sincerely: "Yes..."

  "You're really happy."

  This is true...

  "I think I'm happy, indeed a part of it comes from his excellence, but more is because he's good to me." I looked at Liu Jing "Dating isn't like reading comics, if he was a selfish person or his character wasn't great, I wouldn't choose him. After all, neither of us are the type who play around with love, once we fall in love, we take responsibility for each other and ourselves."

  "Really good."

  I nodded, looking at his dazzling and eye-catching handsome figure on the basketball court: "Yes... it's great to have him."
