Although the taste wasn’t great, the warm soy milk in his stomach was quite fulfilling.

  Lu Yuanyuan turned quiet and he also didn’t speak again. While swiping on his phone, he finished the entire soy milk. When he was getting up to throw away his trash, Yan Chuan stepped through the front door and entered the classroom.

  Su Lin casually put the empty cup on the table, leaned back in his chair, and watched boredly as Yan Chuan opened the roll call and began to read the names.

  “Senior.”

  “……”

  When he heard the familiar voice, he paused a little.

  “Senior.” Lu Yuanyuan called out again.

  Su Lin turned his head.

  Watching as Lu Yuanyuan pushed a small pile of paper onto his empty desk, the stack of papers stapled in the upper left corner.

  The cover page read: Deuxième cours [second lesson]

  This was—

  Before he could ask, Lu Yuanyuan’s name was called out by Yan Chuan.

  After she answered, she slightly moved closer to his side.

  The voice that was already small was even smaller, “Teacher Yan sent an email saying that people who didn’t bring the PowerPoint to class would have homework this weekend.”

  “……”

  Su Lin looked at her after she finished. Her white cheeks were pink, “That…. I didn’t know if you would forget to print it, so I just printed two copies.”

  Her expression was a little shy and a little embarrassed.

  When Lu Yuanyuan went to print it yesterday, she remembered that she and Su Lin had decided to be seatmates and that Su Lin had only brought his cell phone to class last time.

  She inexplicably felt that he wouldn’t read Teacher Yan’s email this time and there was a good chance that he wouldn’t print the PowerPoint.

  He was also the only person she knew in this class, so she simply printed two copies.

  She observed his expression. He was looking at the paper on the table that she handed over, his eyelashes covering his eyes were slightly fluttering.

  After a while, Su Lin raised his eyes and looked straight at her.

  His eyes were hooked on the inner corners and raised, with a small curve at the end of the eyes. The faint darkness under his eyes didn’t detract from the good looks of his face.

  “One person a week.” His thin lips opened and closed, and suddenly a sentence came out.

  What one person a week?

  Lu Yuanyuan was dazed: “…… Huh?”

  “I said, the French PowerPoint,” Su Lin looked at her, “We’ll take turns to print. Next week, I’ll print.”

  “……”

  He said this with his normal expression. His voice intonation was the same as usual, like saying something like “Today’s soy milk was tasty”.

  Lu Yuanyuan understood. In this way, they could lessen the number of trips to the library.

  She nodded: “Okay. Then, I’ll trouble you, senior.”

  Next, Yan Chuan really went around to check one by one. He wrote down the names of all the people who didn’t bring the PowerPoint in a small book before starting today’s lesson.

  During the break in the middle of class, Lu Yuanyuan wanted to go to the bathroom. Just as she stood up, she didn’t expect Su Lin to also simultaneously stand.

  He was much taller than her. She tilted her head up, he lowered his.

  The two stared at each other for a while, and Lu Yuanyuan was the first to return to her senses: “Senior, I…. need to go out for a while.”

  Her finger pointed to the corridor.

  Because the two were seated in the row that was against the wall and she sat inside. When she wanted to get out of her seat, Su Lin had to stand up to make way for her.

  He nodded and turned sideways to let her out.

  When Lu Yuanyuan passed by him, she smelled a nice scent.

  For a moment, she felt that the scent was a little familiar.

  But until she finished going to the bathroom, she couldn’t remember where she had smelled it. She couldn’t remember and didn’t dwell on it. She shook the water droplets off of her hands and reentered the classroom through the back door.

  When she was about to return to her seat, her footsteps stopped.

  A few girls were surrounding Su Lin’s seat.

  Lu Yuanyuan tried to reduce her presence and tried to pass by at turtle speed.

  She approached closer and closer and heard a dainty girl ask: “…… Then, senior, may I add your WeChat?”

  “……” Lu Yuanyuan stood still and didn’t move.

  Then came Su Lin’s slightly impatient voice, “I don’t use WeChat.”

  “…… ” Hmm?

  Lu Yuanyuan’s eyes widened.

  She clearly saw him open the WeChat app during class ah….

  The girls froze in place, evidently not expecting him to say that.

  But they still did not give up, continuing to interrogate, “Then, senior, you usually use QQ1?”

  Senior: “No, I don’t.”

  “…… What about your phone number?”

  Senior: “My phone doesn’t have a sim card.”

  Lu Yuanyuan: “……”

  This was awkward.

  “Everyone go back to your seats and sit down, we’ll continue with the lecture.”

  Just as both sides fell silent and Lu Yuanyuan was trapped by the back door in a dilemma, Yan Chuan’s voice came.

  The girls scattered with some resentment on their faces.

  Lu Yuanyuan sighed with relief and also went back to her seat without delay.

  After the class was over, Yan Chuan arranged the homework for those who didn’t print the PowerPoint, and dismissed them from class on time.

  Lu Yuanyuan packed up her school bag and wanted to pick up the trash from breakfast to throw away-

  When a hand extended over from the side.

  The fingers were long and bony, with neat lines on its palm.

  She looked at the hand’s owner. He was holding the soy milk bag.

  He looked at her, his expression unchanged, “I’ll help you throw it on the way.”

  Lu Yuanyuan blinked.

  “…… Ah,” After understanding, she immediately handed the bag to his hand, “Alright, thank you senior!”

  After saying that, she was a little lost in thought.

  Listening to Lin Xi’s words, she felt that Senior Su was a person who was very difficult to approach, a person who existed inside of legends.

  Just now, the person during the break, she also could see it.

  But….

  Lu Yuanyuan’s head automatically replayed the scene a moment ago when he went to the front of the classroom to throw away the trash.

  Difficult to approach?

  That seemed…. not exactly right.

 

Today was my first day practice driving and my instructor must think I’m the dumbest person in the world. I didn’t know what the R or N on the PRNDL was (call me London Tipton) and I almost hit like three parked cars. I hope I see none of you ever on the road because I can’t guarantee your safety. Thank god I refused to go with my brother’s previous instructor because literally the first thing my brother did was drive halfway across the city?? Like his FIRST time at the wheel. & we live in a city with a population of 1 million!!! If that were me, I would’ve, FOR SURE, been honked at a millions times and caused a 10 car pile up.
