Chapter 4: Bone Touching

Did you just see Ji Sixuan's face? It was almost enough to cause internal injuries!

At that time, Qiao Yu was having a meal with several classmates in the cafeteria. Suddenly, the two people sitting opposite him laughed in an unusually exaggerated manner, while also exchanging glances with him. When he turned around, he saw Ji Sixuan standing behind him.

Ji Sixuan was getting quite into it, "Recognizing bones, a human hand has 27 bones, and the teacher will test us on this in the next class. I feel like I could vomit from touching the human skeletal model all day; it's much more beneficial for memory to touch the real thing"

Qiao Yu took a book off the shelf, and at that moment, someone across from him also pulled out a book. Then, he caught a glimpse of a pair of smiling eyes through the gap between the books.

Isn't it a landmark building? Do you dare to say you haven't taken a photo of it?

After speaking, he looked at Wen Shaoqing and Lin Chen, with a slight hint of grandiloquent reproach, "Who allowed you to untie it? Didn't you see that some people simply do not want it to be untied? The tighter it is bound, the better."

Qiao Yu lowered his head and stared at the plate, smiled without saying a word, continued to eat, yet felt increasingly happy inside

A few days later, Qiao Yu once again "coincidentally encountered" Ji Sixuan in the library

That group of girls clearly harbored hostility towards Ji Sixuan, as one after another they rushed forward to take photos, with their numbers increasing, looking down on her with an air of arrogance and mockery on their faces

Wen Shaoqing looked innocent, "Wasn't it you who asked me to take a look?"

The usually taciturn Xiao Ziyuan suddenly spoke, "The truth is revealed in the details. Look, after being rejected by Qiao Yu when confessing, he can greet him with a calm demeanor and a smile, without any embarrassment. Who else can do that? This is what it means to be a master"

You concern yourself with so much; one is willing to pursue, and the other is willing to be pursued. This is called romantic interest! What do you understand?

That night, many people witnessed the usually calm and gentle Qiao Yu storming down the corridor, stepping on his shoelaces that had become hopelessly tangled.

Wen Shaoqing finished speaking and glanced at Xiao Ziyuan, "Why are you staring at me? It's not me who said it."

Lin Chen had an excited expression, "Who else could it be? I just heard today that someone saw Qiao being taken advantage of in the cafeteria a few days ago."

Ji Sixuan is a girl who is as tough as a boy. Her level of fierceness is likely unmatched even by boys

Serves her right! Isn't she the most shameless? Clearly, Senior Brother Qiao doesn't like her, yet she shamelessly pursues him.

Qiao Yu silently greeted and was about to leave

Qiao Yuben thought that the matter had come to an end, but little did he know that this was just the beginning. As the medical school courses deepened, he found himself completely at the mercy of a girl named Ji Sixuan, who was taking full advantage of him under the guise of "the drunken man's intention is not in the wine"

During those days of the late spring cold snap, although the sun was shining brightly, there was a strong wind blowing. Ji Sixuan and others were standing by, but there were always people trying to cut in line. As time passed, she felt a subtle annoyance and simply decided to watch how long they could continue to push ahead.

A group of people passed by, chatting and laughing, and noticed a crowd not far away quietly discussing something.

Her figure disappeared at the entrance of the cafeteria, and the two people who were having lunch with Qiao Yu could only pat their chests.

Wen Shaoqing recognized it at a glance, "Surgical knot? Who tied it?"

Senior Brother Qiao, I also want to take a photo with you

Xiao Ziyuan finished speaking and looked back at Qiao Yu, smiling gently, "Take care of it, you may continue."

When was the last time he got angry?" Lin Chen squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, "It's been too long, I can't remember.

Qiao Yu suddenly became serious, his gaze deepening, looking at Ji Sixuan with a smile that was not quite a smile, remaining silent and revealing no signs of joy or anger

Ji Sixuan's movements were swift, and Qiao Yu at that moment only found her method of tying shoelaces somewhat peculiar, without giving it much thought. However, when she finished tying and straightened up, he realized something was amiss

During that period, Ji Sixuan became so obsessed with practicing surgery that whenever she saw a rope-like object, she felt compelled to tie knots. The level of terror was such that Qiao Yu refrained from wearing shoes with laces for a considerable time, fearing that this girl might suddenly appear in front of him, squatting down to tie knots, and he would be unable to stop her

All of this took Ji Sixuan by surprise; it was only when she was pushed in front of the camera by Qiao Yu that she realized what was happening, tilting her head in delight as she looked at him

... ...

I have always been very serious. Ji Si and Tu Shu Xuan straightened up, their hands properly placed behind their backs as they earnestly looked into his eyes and replied, "I have always been seriously teasing you"

Qiao Yu paused for a moment, having seen something, and stood by the side for a long time. Suddenly, as if realizing something, he spoke, "It seems that I... really have never taken a photo."

Ji Sixuan beckoned with her finger, unaware of how many people would be willing to lend to her; she would likely spare no effort even if it meant exhausting herself to death

The boy responsible for taking photos smiled happily, "I don't mind, Brother Qiao."

On a certain Saturday, she unusually woke up early, intending to drag her roommate along for a photo shoot. However, Sanbao was curled up in bed pretending to be dead, and He Ge was a "heavyweight" figure, making it impossible for her to move him. As for Suiyi, who always prioritized sleep quality, she did not dare to disturb her. In the end, she could only go alone.

In fact, in the eyes of the public, Qiao Yu and Ji Sixuan are merely engaging in a trivial game, with one pursuing and the other evading. Qiao Yu's attitude is crucial; he has always seemed rather indifferent towards Ji Sixuan, treating her as nothing particularly special. The onlookers are content to watch the spectacle. However, when matters accumulate to a certain extent, a catalyst will inevitably emerge to disrupt this tranquility, and in this case, the catalyst was a photograph.

Qiao Yu is well-known for his good relationships with others. Moreover, even when someone else cut in line, he spoke politely, causing several people to blush and hurriedly say it was no problem

Sigh, this reason truly leaves me at a loss for words. Lin Chen gazed at the ceiling with a sorrowful expression, saying, "Why is it that no one comes to touch my hand and acknowledge my existence?"

The words have become increasingly harsh. Qiao Yu gradually closed his eyes, his smile fading, and his brows lightly furrowing. He turned around and glanced at the few girls before lowering his eyelids, making it difficult to discern the emotions flowing beneath. When he spoke, his voice was tinged with a chill, "It was merely a joke; there is no need to express it so harshly. With Ji Sixuan's qualities, there will be no shortage of suitors. If it is because of me, I do not consider myself that charming. Even if one insists on compatibility, perhaps it is I who am unworthy of her. If among the boys pursuing her there are those you admire, and you feel jealous, then you are misplacing your blame. You should blame yourselves for not being able to attract the attention of your desired ones, rather than blaming her."

Qiao Yu lowered his head and continued to fight, "Don't talk nonsense, she is just identifying bones"

When kittens and puppies feel fear and anger, their fur stands on end, making them appear larger in size, as if to intimidate their opponent. Ji Sixuan bent down and approached Qiao Yu, blinking her eyes innocently and asking, "Qiao Yu, do you want to overpower me?"

As soon as the flash went off, a girl rushed forward

Hey, hey, hey, quick, take a look, is Qiao Yu... angry? That's quite rare.

Her fingers were slender and cool, gently resting on his hand, slightly pressing against the bones of his hand. Qiao Yu involuntarily felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and when he looked up, he saw her smiling eyes and brows.

With a statement that was a double entendre, Wen Shaoqing and Lin Chen shook their shoulders and laughed uncontrollably

So, Wen Shaoqing, who did you borrow that specimen from

Qiao Yu gently patted her on the back, smiling as she looked ahead, "Look at the camera."

A group of people waiting for Qiao Yu, who were originally bored and watching the commotion, suddenly became agitated upon seeing this

I originally just wanted to scare her; how could I really bear to be harsh with her? After all, she is just a young girl, and her complexion changed.

Are there still so many people queuing up to take photos now

That morning, Qiao Yu arranged to play basketball with someone, but due to the strong wind, he returned after playing for a while

You scared me to death; I almost thought you were going to turn against me.

Qiao Yu was speechless, "Did I ask you to comment on this?!"

He looked at the deadlock with a bewildered expression, then glanced at the girl in front of him who was smiling and laughing. What is he... ? ... Has he been played again ?

The library was quiet, perhaps due to the previous incident that made her cautious; Ji Sixuan remained silent, merely smiling at him.

As Wen Shaoqing entered the dormitory, he saw Qiao Yu bent over in a chair, struggling with his shoelaces, while Lin Chen swaggered in front of him, walking towards the door and sighing as he went.

The person across from him quickly disappeared, and the next moment, that person circled around the bookshelf and came before him

Qiao Yu could not decline any longer. After taking a few group photos, he quickly made his escape. Just after taking a couple of steps, he heard the discussion of several girls behind him.

After indicating for her to go see the three roommates waiting at the cafeteria entrance, Ji Sixuan, still unsettled from his earlier scare, surprisingly nodded obediently and turned to leave.

Xiao Ziyuan raised his head from the book, glanced over, and calmly looked at Qiao Yu, who had a face full of righteous indignation, "Of course we must take action"

A group of people jokingly wandered off, and at the end of the line, Qiao Yu turned around to glance behind, as if searching for someone.

Since entering school, Ji Sixuan has wanted to take a photo, but it is not because she forgot and missed the open hours; rather, it is because she arrived too late and could not get in line

Wen Shaoqing added, "Yes, and last time, I even helped her borrow a semen analysis specimen"

Qiao Yu suddenly smiled, his handsome brows and eyes becoming even more striking. With a mix of amusement and helplessness, he asked, "Ji Sixuan, when on earth... will you be more serious?"

Ji Sixuan rolled her eyes and refused to look at them, suppressing her anger and enduring it again and again. Just as she was on the verge of exploding, Qiao Yu suddenly appeared behind her, grabbing her arm and leading her to the front of the building. He smiled and gestured to a few girls who were preparing to take a spot and the boys responsible for taking photos, "Excuse me, I'm in a hurry. Could you help take a group photo? I hope you don't mind"

Wen Shaoqing glanced a few more times, then raised his head and answered seriously, "From a technical perspective, the person who tied this surgical knot is likely a beginner. The force applied by both hands is uneven, which is why it is somewhat crooked after being tightened. Judging by the direction of the crookedness, this person is accustomed to using their right hand"

After speaking, she suddenly exclaimed "Oh!" and quickly took out hand cream from her bag, starting to apply it on Qiao Yu's hands. "Senior Qiao, frequently drawing and coming into contact with pens and paper can be quite harsh on your hands. It's good to apply some hand cream for maintenance from time to time."

Haha, well said

X has iconic architecture that has withstood the test of time for over a century. In order to protect the building, it is only open on the third Saturday of each month. The student union provides photographers to allow students to take commemorative photos.

Indeed, indeed, your stern expression is quite frightening; just now, Junior Sister Ji's face turned pale.

Qiao Yu shooed Lin Chen away like chasing a fly, and upon raising his head, he saw Wen Shaoqing and immediately called for help, "Come over and help me take a look!"

After Ji Sixuan greeted Qiao Yu with a smile, she set down her plate, raised her hand to rest on the hand that Qiao Yu was holding the chopsticks with, and began to caress along the bones. Qiao Yu, perhaps having developed an immunity from being teased for a long time, looked at their intertwined hands without furrowing his brows, calmly raising his head to look at her, "What are you doing?"

A few days later, Ji Sixuan openly flirted with Qiao Yu again in the school cafeteria

Ji Sixuan, pushed to the side, remained unperturbed. She cast a distant glance at Qiao Yu, surrounded by a group of girls, smiling with determination. Then, she turned and left.

That's right, what is she called, a demoness, with the surname Ji, called a prostitute!

Wen Shaoqing nodded in agreement, "That is indeed the case. Look at a master like you, Xiao Ziyuan, who is also surrounded by rumors. Everyone knows that there is a Yu Qianxia by Xiao Ziyuan's side, yet only Qiao Yu remains clear and untainted.

Ji Sixuan had never seen Qiao Yu like this before, feeling a bit flustered and just about to explain something when she saw him unable to hold back any longer, lowering his head and laughing. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, no more teasing. They are waiting for you, so hurry up and go."

Ji Sixuan looked down and noticed Qiao Yu's shoelace, her eyes brightening. She spoke softly while crouching down, "Your shoelace is undone, let me help you tie it up!"

As Qiao Yu approached, he only heard this sentence, "That thing... surely can't be borrowed by a girl, can it?"

After speaking, he began to touch again in a hands-on manner

A girl squatted in front of herself, and no matter how composed Qiao Yu was, he could not stand there openly. He followed her down and said, "No need, no need, I can do it myself"

I am showing you how to resolve this! Qiao Yu, unable to bear it any longer, turned to complain to Xiao Ziyuan, who had been silently reading under the lamp, "Boss, are you going to do something about this or not?!"

Lin Chen was confused, "From what Qiao Yu said, it doesn't seem like he is uninterested in Ji Sixuan."
