Chapter One: Life (05)

Zhao Dailin finally found the lighter, lowered her head to light it, took a puff, and said: "Don't beat around the bush with me, I ask you, are you really not planning to say hello?" After speaking, her gaze subtly indicated a certain direction.

Zhao Dailin sighed and hurried to catch up: "Are you really not going?"

He enjoys traveling and has been to many places. He once told her about one hundred secrets hidden in various corners of the world. Despite being well-read, she had never heard of those bizarre and absurd things. Every time she listened to his explanations, she was left in astonishment.

He has a good relationship with everyone, treats everyone well, and is the best to her

He stood outside the free-throw line, his hand raised high, eyes slightly squinted, his body lightly leaping off the ground for a moment, while aiming, he casually said to her: "Which city's university do you want to apply to? Let me know in advance."

She started smoking in high school, but she quit in recent years and doesn't smoke much anymore. She usually doesn't have much of an addiction, and when she occasionally feels the urge, she pops a candy in her mouth and quickly gets through her reading. Everyone says quitting smoking is difficult, but she finds it quite easy

When Yu Hao was still hesitating whether to muster the courage to speak to Professor Han, Lu Huaizheng's gaze shifted over again

The middle-aged man beside him cast a glance over, saying, "Be serious." However, his tone was not harsh, but rather gentle

He held his breath, threw the ball, and it landed lightly on the ground. Watching it steadily drop into the hoop, it spun a few times before touching down. Then, with his dirty hands that had just handled the ball, he gently tapped her on the back of the head, his eyes filled with a look that said, "Are you silly? You should scout the area and see if there are any universities nearby that I can get into."

That expression is entirely reminiscent of the smugness he displayed when he successfully played a trick on someone in the past

He attracts women

She wrote down his past characteristics and habits on paper

After finishing a cigarette, I felt alert and turned around to drive

Yu Hao looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Are you envious of me?"

The psychological activities at that time were incredibly complex

During my sophomore year, there was a course on applied psychology. The professor stated that if you have not seen someone for a long time and you miss them, you can infer what they might look like ten years later based on their previous habits

Yuhao adjusted the laptop on the table to an upright position, completely obscuring that annoying face, refusing to relent until not a single strand of hair was visible.

Zhao Dailin recalled a saying

Lu Huaizheng finally stopped smiling, pretended to cough lightly, and then no longer looked at her, adopting a serious demeanor as he began to listen to Professor Han's lecture

Yu Hao subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face

Thus, he may encounter a woman who captivates his heart during his journey, leading to a one-night affair

After several occurrences, Yuhao began to feel a bit anxious

Zhao Dailin finally nudged her with an arm: "Seize the opportunity, once this village is passed, there won't be this shop anymore"

When Yu Hao and Zhao Dailin walked out of the hall, they saw Lu Huaizheng and Lin Chang, along with a few others, gathered around a white Audi, smoking and chatting.

I truly do not find anything to envy about Yu Haozhen. She has a straightforward personality, is not smooth in her dealings, does not engage in any form of deception, and is not sweet-tongued. She certainly does not indulge in flattery or sycophancy.

Initially, he maintained a stern expression and averted his gaze, then a few seconds later, he lowered his head. Subsequently, I noticed his shoulders twitching twice, and finally realized that he was actually stifling a laugh, to the point that his shoulders were trembling.

Psychology suggests that if someone is frequently staring at you, do not overthink it; it may simply be that you did not wash your face properly before leaving home this morning

He leaned back, seeking a more comfortable position, with the smoke from his fingertips flickering in and out. Most of the time, he smiled warmly, but when the conversation turned to some adult topics, that smile took on a flirtatious quality, particularly enticing, just like before.

She feels that her skills are lacking, that she has let Professor Han down, and that she has brought shame to her mentor. She believes that the years spent studying have been in vain, producing only works that are unworthy of appreciation

He envisioned Lu Huaizheng at the age of 27, based on his appearance at 17

Furthermore, in the context of polygraph examinations, the approach is straightforward, without unnecessary complications or convolutions

Zhao Dailin was taken aback, "What is it?"

His thoughts are impure, filled with nonsensical talk

Smoke

Zhao Dailin stood side by side with Yu Hao, gazing at the group of men under the streetlight not far away. With a long sigh, she said, "Although you are quite peculiar in temperament, I sometimes envy you. Truly, you are beautiful and intelligent, though your emotional intelligence is not very high."

The men over there have finished their conversation and are preparing to leave

The dim streetlight enveloped his tall figure, as he leaned against the white car door, his silhouette appearing particularly elongated and clean. The black suit casually hung from the wrist of his hand that was tucked into his pocket. His habits had not changed, reminiscent of how he used to hang his school uniform. He did not like wearing the uniform, often letting it dangle from his wrist or shoulder. With an unlit cigarette between his lips, he lowered his head to borrow a light from Lin Chang across from him. Lin Chang held the lighter out, igniting it for him, and the two exchanged a few words, both laughing.

To put it nicely, this is being straightforward; to put it harshly, it is a lack of emotional intelligence

What do you want to tell me

He suddenly opened his hands towards her.

At that time, Yuhao did not pay him any mind, but these words have frequently appeared in her mind over the past few years

Zhao Dailin lowered her head and took out a cigarette, placing it in her mouth. She searched her entire body but could not find a lighter. She then took the cigarette out of her mouth and turned to her, saying: "The ones from our psychology institute are all quite clever, how did you turn out to be such an oddity? Isn't it said that those who study psychology have high emotional intelligence?"

At that time, Yu Hao had just had a paper on applied psychology accepted by an international academic journal. She also received an email from Professor Marcy Eddie, expressing his admiration and surprise after reading the paper published in the journal, and he requested other academic papers that Yu Hao had published.

He jokingly asked him when he became so serious about studying, suggesting that he could get into Tsinghua or Peking University.

If we stand up to go to the restroom now, there will be no one to present Professor Han's PowerPoint.

During the last meal at the institute, she nearly offended the director with a single remark

The dean thought to himself, how young, and in the blink of an eye, she is almost thirty. Shaking his head, he felt that this girl was rather unlikable.

Professor Han quickly intervened, saying, "They are still young, there is no need to rush."

I really want to take out a mirror to have a look. But there are so many pairs of eyes below.

... ...

The two were on the basketball court at the time. He demonstrated a beautiful and swift three-step layup, smiling as he retrieved the ball, saying: "What do Tsinghua and Peking University matter? Even if you get admitted, what does it mean? Learning is a never-ending journey, do you understand? So, do you want to apply to Tsinghua or Peking University?"

"It is often said that those who study psychology must have experienced psychological issues themselves. Have you ever experienced any?" Yu Hao responded with great indignation, "What you just said is utterly ridiculous. What difference is there between that and saying that those who have studied medicine never fall ill? One should not view others through such biased lenses."

Missing the recognition that night, I never expected to see Lu Huaizheng again at the military district

He sat next to a middle-aged man with a square face in the center of the first row, dressed in a neatly arranged military uniform, with the buttons meticulously fastened from bottom to top, and the collar snugly positioned just below the Adam's apple. Rarely sitting upright and composed, he appeared entirely different from his relaxed demeanor at the wedding banquet that day. Yu Hao recalled how he looked many years ago while playing basketball, indifferent to everything, yet taking the game quite seriously.

The dean immediately felt that this young girl was quite inept in social situations. If it were one of the young ladies from the neighboring institute, they would surely respond with smiles, asking the dean to help introduce a boyfriend, thereby also drawing closer to him.

Is there still a leaf stuck on her front teeth? But she clearly didn't say anything, and she doesn't have buck teeth.

The night is vast and indistinct, the trees sway with vigor, and the horizon seems to conceal a deep, thick black ink.

During the meal, the dean couldn't help but bring up this matter, saying, "We usually keep quiet, but we have accomplished something significant for our institute!" After saying this, he patted Professor Han on the shoulder, "Old Han, you shouldn't always keep Yu Hao locked up in the laboratory; let her go out more often. I heard she is almost twenty-eight and still doesn't have a boyfriend? You are not being a very competent mentor."

The beauty of a woman is manifested in three stages: the lower beauty is in the skin, the middle beauty is in the spirit, and the upper beauty is in the demeanor. She believes that her current state is at the stage of middle beauty

Zhao Dailin took a cigarette out of the cigarette box and handed it over, murmuring, "Do you know how to smoke?"

What do you ask this for

Yu Hao's smoking history may be longer than that of Zhao Dailin

She may have drawn her eyeliner unevenly

Professor Han smiled kindly and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Yu Hao, who said, "I quite enjoy staying in the laboratory"

She cast a quick glance at her, skillfully bringing it to her lips, then lowered her head to draw in the smoke. Her lips were beautifully shaped, with clear lines, and the slender cigarette was held between her lips, while her eyes were remarkably clear.

In two weeks, there will be a lecture on psychological communication in the Air Force. Yuhao is responsible for Professor Han's speech and the presentation of the PPT, so she sits next to Professor Han, looking at the sea of heads in the audience, and she immediately spots that person.

Zhao Dailin could not help but kick her at that moment. Yu Hao later realized that she had embarrassed the dean in front of so many people. However, once the words were spoken, it was too late to regret, so she simply chose not to think too much about it

He has an extreme preference for black and white colors

After finishing the writing, she tore the paper into shreds and angrily threw it into the trash can

Ms. Feng mentioned that turning twenty-eight is indeed a significant hurdle for women, and she finds this hurdle quite difficult to overcome

It is often said that those who study psychology possess high emotional intelligence and know how to interact with others, yet Yuhao is a peculiar exception, being someone who is impervious to oil and salt, and whose household is devoid of harmony.

Lu Huaizheng attentively focused on Professor Han's speech, while a middle-aged man beside him would occasionally whisper in his ear. He would slightly lower his head to listen respectfully and obediently. Occasionally, he would shift his gaze towards her, and although she did not shy away, their eyes would meet for a moment before he quickly looked away, only to unconsciously turn back a few minutes later.

He enjoys racing, pursuing speed and excitement

As the saying goes, one can see a person's future at the age of three, observe their character at seven, and by the age of seventeen, their thinking is fundamentally established.
