one
Alright, alright, Comrade Su Yuemin, you can rest assured that I am doing well. I will visit you whenever I have the chance! My classmates are calling me, so I will hang up now. After comforting her father, Tian Xin quickly ended the call. She just wanted to tidy up her bed and get a good night's sleep to make up for the ten thousand points of damage she had suffered today
Indeed, indeed, you are our department's flower. As long as you are here, there is nothing that cannot be forgiven
The dawn arrives accompanied by a gentle breeze, and the girls' dormitory begins to come alive. The sounds of laughter, doors closing, and footsteps in the corridor create a morning symphony. Yet, none of this disturbs the room at the end of the corridor around the corner, which seems to be immersed in another quiet dimension of time and space
"Do not make excuses; a mistake is a mistake. Now find a place to sit down and do not waste everyone’s time any longer." The indifferent Zhuang Feize turned around and walked back to the podium, while Tian Xin awkwardly glanced at the hurriedly averted gazes of her classmates and sulkily walked to the empty seat next to Yang Cong to sit down
After waiting for a second, the person in front of her did not respond. Tian Xin looked over in confusion and found that Yang Cong, facing her, had a slight twitch in his eyes. He opened his mouth but said nothing. The people surrounding her, who had just been chattering away, also changed their demeanor, pursing their lips and remaining silent.
"It's nothing, really. It hasn't been long anyway. In fact, it's just that Zhuang Feize's aura is too strong, which makes it difficult for everyone to speak. We all support you!" Yang Cong patted her head, showing great affection.
Tianxin, please do not be angry. No one expected that Zhuang Feize would actually be our temporary counselor. He hadn't called your name before, and I thought he hadn't noticed that you were missing
Tianxin couldn't help but scoff inwardly, please, you were assigned by the school to take care of others, why act as if you have nothing to do with them?
Tianxin suddenly felt that his words were directed at her. Phrases like "not wanting to trouble others" and "being an adult" made her recall the unpleasant afternoon from yesterday
Tianxin, don't be foolish... Yang Cong anxiously tried to stop her, but Tianxin waved her hand to refuse him and gave him a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, I used to go on training exercises with my father's unit when I was young, being the lead soldier should be no problem. Besides..."
Isn't Su Tianxin the class leader? Naturally, she can take on this responsibility. Otherwise, how could she lead her classmates well? Zhuo Feize did not soften his heart; it was merely the indifference and disdain in his tone that made Tianxin somewhat angry
Although she is very angry, she still has to maintain a smile
As soon as Zhuang Feize's figure disappeared, Tian Xin seemed to hear the collective sigh of relief from the entire class, even Yang Cong, who had been unconsciously maintaining an upright posture, relaxed as well. He took photos of the materials with his phone and promptly shared them in the newly established class WeChat group.
"It's alright, Tianxin," Yang Cong, who had already finished sending the documents, looked up and smiled at her. "Girls have privileges in our academy; you just need to focus on looking beautiful and representing the academy. Leave these trivial matters to me."
Tian Xin was deep in thought, her expression somewhat grim, yet her eyes remained fixed on the person on stage, as if she were trying to see through him.
She turned her head to glance at the still expressionless Zhuang Feize beside her, smiling proudly: "I, Su Tianxin, do not wish to be looked down upon by anyone. Since it is my responsibility, it is only natural that I should bear it. Trust me."
Tianxin became increasingly angry, her whole being swelling up like a balloon, her face turning red: "I never expected that this annoying guy would actually become our temporary counselor. What should I do since he can't stand me?"
Zhuang Feize cast her a faint glance, said nothing further, grabbed the scattered documents on the table, and turned to leave
Why does this voice sound somewhat familiar? ... It's like ... ? ... a voice I heard yesterday?
Nanyin University is quite large, and the seniors are all very enthusiastic, especially Brother Siming who takes special care of me. Thinking back to today's experiences, Tianxin silently rolled her eyes in her heart; she was squeezed like a dog before even entering the school gate, her suitcase was broken, and to make matters worse, she ran into that so-called master, Zhuang Feize, and even stumbled twice in front of him
Hello? Tianxin, are you there? Hurry up, you are the class leader! Moreover, the school has assigned temporary counselors for the new students, we...
Tianxin's body stiffened, and she awkwardly stopped in place. Had she been discovered? Was it the temporary instructor that Yang Cong mentioned? At this moment, should she raise her head and bravely admit her mistake, or should she just say that she had entered the wrong classroom and quickly leave?
I see, then I can rest assured. You must take care of yourself. I’m telling you, come back this weekend, anyway..." The familiar nagging from the other end of the phone continued, finally pulling Tianxin back from her dislike for Zhuang Feize to reality. However, listening to this nagging still gave her a bit of a headache.
What is wrong with you? Yang Cong, why are your eyes twitching?" Tian Xin asked with some confusion
However, it is indeed my fault for causing you to wait and waste your time
It seemed that in this moment, the confidence emanating from Tianxin infected those around her. Yang Cong no longer intervened and also revealed a smile. Tianxin looked at her classmates, and everyone couldn't help but smile as well. The person who originally appeared delicate and fragile unexpectedly possessed such great spiritual strength, as if uniting the entire class together.
Why are you shaking your head? Never mind, let her go in first. Tianxin crouched down, opened the back door, and prepared to sneak in slowly. She had already calculated the route; as long as she kept her head down and avoided being noticed by others, it would be fine
I originally wanted to quietly and low-key start my new life, but why are there always so many setbacks
I didn't hear your voice, I'm not at ease, darling, quickly share with Daddy what you experienced today at Nanyin University! The tone of Su Yuemin on the other end of the phone was indulgent, just like how they usually chat at home
However, the people on the stage showed no reaction at all. Zhuang Feize cast a faint glance at the group of students sitting obediently in the classroom, not even directing an extra look at Tian Xin. He simply stated in a businesslike manner: "I am not your teacher; I am merely here to supervise you temporarily during the military training. Please do not disturb me unless there is a significant issue; it is mutually convenient for us."
Meeting
"Su Tianxin, you waste the entire class's time waiting for you to hold a meeting. Is it because your time is exceptionally different?" The mocking voice rang out again, making Tianxin unable to pretend to be dead any longer. She raised her head and looked at the person in front of her, whom she had only met twice and wished she would never see again in her lifetime, forcing out a smile: "Senior, I have my reasons..."
Such a cold senior, with his entire demeanor saying "Don't bother me unless it's necessary". They must have taken the wrong medicine to seek him out, right? The new students below shook their heads, just wanting to send him away as soon as possible
Could it be that unfortunate? Indeed, one should not speak ill of others behind their backs
Tian Xin, while tidying up her shattered emotions, hurriedly made her way to the office she had visited yesterday. Following the signs along the corridor, she soon arrived at the classroom door. Standing at the back door, she took a deep breath and, through the glass of the back door, immediately spotted Yang Cong, who was wearing a black and white checkered shirt, sitting in the right seat of the back row. What was even more surprising was that there was an empty seat next to him.
She took a deep breath and opened the door: a standard wooden combination bed, with a bare wooden board on top and a desk and wardrobe underneath. Tiexin struggled to shove her broken suitcase into the wardrobe, then unceremoniously sat down in the chair at the desk
Only then did she take a good look at Zhuang Feize, who was already standing at the podium. He wore a simple white shirt underneath a deep blue knitted sweater in a collegiate style, with even the top button fastened neatly, giving him an air of rigor and attention to detail. His soft black hair accentuated his sharply defined face, making it appear even paler. The gold-rimmed round glasses obscured his beautiful, narrow eyes, which not only failed to soften his overall demeanor but instead made him seem more meticulous and less approachable.
A soft scoff echoed in the quiet classroom, and Tianxin suddenly felt a drop in temperature around her, reminiscent of the feeling when a certain someone appeared.
How could he not notice? Tianxin dejectedly rested her head against the seat. As the only girl, Zhuang Feize should have been able to see that she was not included in the student handbook with just a glance, unless he was blind.
Seeing Yang Cong busy, Tian Xin felt a bit embarrassed, as she was nominally the class leader. After some thought, she softly said to Yang Cong: "I am sorry, Yang Cong, as the class leader, not only did I not contribute, but I also arrived late to the meeting"
... ...
"Rest assured, senior, I will definitely not let you down." Tianxin emphasized the word "let down" with a heavy accent, as she did not want to show any weakness in front of this arrogant and annoying guy, nor did she want him to look down on her
"Baby, answer the phone, baby, answer the phone..." The ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly rang
Tianxin's eyes suddenly became a bit moist; it had been less than a day since they parted, and she already began to miss her somewhat talkative father at home. She glanced around the empty dormitory and recalled her pink room at home, feeling a sudden pang of sadness in her heart
However, just as she was slowly moving forward like a crab, a pair of men's black Oxford shoes suddenly appeared in her line of sight, featuring beautiful brown laces paired with a black matte fabric, exuding a strong collegiate style
Zhuang Feize nodded in satisfaction, considering them to be perceptive. If it weren't for his mother insisting and secretly enrolling him, he wouldn't waste his time interacting with a group of freshmen. The thought of having to accompany them throughout the military training for the next half month made him unable to suppress his displeasure. Without paying attention to anyone else, he picked up his book and left directly.
At that moment, the phone by the pillow began to vibrate, and the increasingly intense sound finally pulled her out of her dream. However, she was simply too tired to even open her eyes, so she could only instinctively reach out and fumble around the pillow, not even looking at the screen, and directly brought it to her ear to answer: "Hello?"
What a year of misfortune
Tianxin looked at his indifferent back and secretly encouraged herself. Since things couldn't get any worse, what was there to be afraid of?
Thank you... thank you all. Compared to Zhuang Feize, you are simply angels. Having overcome the initial embarrassment of the first sentence, Tianxin spoke more and more fluently, her thoughts pouring out. I apologize for being late today and making you wait, but that Zhuang Feize is truly unbearable. I have been wanting to explain but he never gives me the chance, and yesterday he even threatened me with that cold gaze...
Then, let us look forward to the sense of responsibility of classmate Su Tianxin However, it is a pity that such a good atmosphere clearly did not allow Zhuang Feize to integrate into it, as he merely looked at the suddenly enthusiastic person in front of him with some confusion and instinctively uttered somewhat provocative words
Unfortunately, Tianxin no longer had the mood to appreciate it. Under the watchful eyes of the dormitory supervisor, Tianxin steeled herself and declined Yang Cong's offer to escort her upstairs. She huffed and puffed as she carried her luggage to the fourth floor, following the instructions on the registration form to find dormitory 437 at the end of the hallway.
The chaotic first day of school inflicted a significant amount of distress on Tianxin. Under the watchful protection of the smiling Yang Cong, she finally found her dormitory. Perhaps due to the scarcity of female students in the School of Mechanical Engineering, her dormitory was located on the edge of the living area, right next to a beautiful magnolia grove. Although it was early autumn, there were still sporadic magnolia flowers on the branches, emanating a delightful fragrance.
"This student, are you asking the whole class to play 'One, Two, Three, Wooden Man' with you?" The indifferent voice resembled a spring that had just melted from a high mountain, making one feel a chill to the bone
The classmates who had not left gathered around, their faces adorned with sincere smiles as they looked at her, their gazes pure. Tianxin looked up, and the gentle expressions in everyone's eyes made her feel immensely warm
She cannot let this guy underestimate her! The stubbornness deep within Su Tianxin was provoked, and she shot a resentful glance at the person in front of her. Although she was still a bit flustered, she forced herself to calm down and said to him: "I will take on the responsibility, I Su Tianxin will never let the class down, nor will I allow certain people to feel smug!"
Zhuang Feize continued to add: "I am not your nanny. You are already adults and should take responsibility for your own actions, and you should not cause trouble for others." His voice had not changed at all, yet it made people unconsciously want to comply with what he said
Her mind was racing, yet she refused to lift her head. Although she had basically met everyone in the class, she still felt so embarrassed
Su Tianxin lay on the temporarily set up pink bed, covered with a pink space blanket featuring Hello Kitty, sleeping soundly like a little pig. If one got closer, they could hear her faint snoring, indicating that she was indeed exhausted from yesterday. Even in her dreams, her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she were dreaming of something unpleasant
Tianxin, this is Yang Cong! When we parted yesterday, I told you that there would be a meeting at 9 o'clock this morning. Did you forget?
Hehe, Senior, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to come back again... This glorious position in the front row is not quite suitable for someone as low-key as me, besides, I can't bear such a great responsibility. " Tianxin forced a smile, trying to ease the relationship between the two.
Indeed, senior, after all, it is quite a lot of pressure for a girl like Tianxin to walk in front. How about I take the lead instead? I can handle it.
Tian Xin suddenly opened her eyes, and the bright white ceiling came into her view. Still not fully awake, she momentarily did not know where she was, and it took her a while to adjust to the fact that she was now a student at the School of Mechanical Engineering of Nanyin University
It may be a bit small, but it doesn't matter; after all, I am living in a single room. Tianxin comforted herself in her heart, as it is indeed a rare opportunity to have a single room while attending university.
How can there be someone in this world who is so incompatible with oneself? Tianxin silently thought as she looked at the person on stage. Surely she couldn't say that she missed the meeting because she dreamt of him pursuing her all night, could she? Yet, she felt that she was just making excuses.
"Wait a moment, I will be there soon!" Tianxin was no longer interested in listening to him continue speaking. She quickly sat up with a start, "It's classroom 1109 in the office, right? Just hold on, I will get there as soon as possible!" Tianxin hurriedly hung up the phone, quickly got out of bed, brushed her teeth, didn't even have time to wash her face, and rushed out after getting dressed.
Isn't it so? That annoying Zhuang Feize inexplicably barged into her dreams, holding a pile of rare books and sternly demanding compensation from her. When Tianxin saw him, she just wanted to run away, but who would have thought that they ended up chasing each other in dreams all night long
Yes, yes, yes, please let us know if there is anything. In the future, if such situations arise again, we will assist you in handling them.
As long as one can move over quietly and take a seat, right? Tian Xin thought happily, her gaze unconsciously burning with intensity towards the empty seat. Yang Cong, who was already restless, also sensed this; he suddenly shot a glance at Tian Xin and quickly shook his head.
Indeed, our School of Mechanical Engineering is very united. Not only now, but we will continue to take care of you during the upcoming military training, as we promised yesterday. A promise is worth a thousand gold.
As soon as she heard the ringtone exclusive to her father, Tianxin quickly answered the phone: "Hello, Comrade Su Yuemin, what do you want? I have already sent you a message on WeChat to confirm my safety."
Since Su Tianxin feels apologetic, she must be willing to sacrifice herself for the benefit of her classmates. Coincidentally, the sun is quite strong this month, and the students at the front of the military training formation will have a tough time, so Su Tianxin should be happy to take this position, right? A cold voice came from behind, and Tianxin turned around stiffly, only to see that icy face.
Such people are the most detestable! What should we do? We won't be able to get along happily in the future! Tianxin couldn't help but glare at Zhuang Feize on the stage, but Zhuang Feize didn't care at all. He simply asked as per usual, "Is there anything else to ask? If not, we will adjourn the meeting. The specific military training arrangements have been provided in writing to Yang Cong, who will make the arrangements for you."
