Qian never thought that one day she would walk side by side with Yu Minglang on campus, and it actually felt okay, not uncomfortable at all.
"Your school’s greenery is quite nice."
Yu Minglang was obviously just making small talk.
Qian followed his gaze. On the road leading from the girls’ dormitory to the teaching building, clusters of photinia were lush and green. Although it wasn’t the blooming season, the greenery still looked quite pleasing.
These were often a target for complaints in the previous campus life. If he were here during the blooming season, slling that distinctive scent, she wondered if he would still say the sa things.
But with Yu Erha’s knack for not distinguishing between carnations and roses, using the photinia that slls like natural man-milk as a conversation starter wasn’t surprising.
Qian was lost in her own thoughts, amusing herself, while Yu Minglang looked at her lively eyes and felt a ticklish sensation inside.
He actually wanted to find a place to stamp a kiss on her moist little lips and see if his "technique" had improved over this ti.
But with so many people on campus, there was no chance to make a move...
Qian was filled with mischief ntally, while Yu Minglang was filled with suggestive thoughts, and their ntal wavelengths just didn’t match.
Passing through the playground, Qian suddenly stopped in front of the parallel bars.
"Yu Xiaoqiang, are you good with the parallel bars?"
"...What did you call ?"
"Xiaoqiang!" Qian felt incredibly satisfied seeing his fly-swallowing expression.
"Pick another na."
"...Qiang?"
"Are you hoping I’ll do sothing morable here?"
Like, just kiss right here!
"If you’ve got the guts, go ahead and kiss ," Qian challenged him firmly.
This guy had thick skin, but as long as he was outside, he would never do anything inappropriate in front of others.
Yu Minglang lowered his head, looking at the crowd going by, frustrated.
If they were in a more secluded place with no people, would she dare be this bold?
Qian looked leisurely at the sky, "Let’s compromise, I’ll stop calling you that, and you won’t call Chen Xiaoi, how about it?"
Silence.
"If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as you agreeing." The sa line spoken by a different person felt so satisfying.
The way he bullied Qian back then was how Qian was treating him now.
No temper.
He put on a stern face, which might scare others, but not Qian; after all, that was just his look, and she was used to it by now.
"Are you good with the horizontal bar?" she asked.
Yu Minglang responded with action.
Pulls, swings, spins—these basic moves were not appealing to him.
He went straight for a one-arm pull-up show, and after a few repetitions, began twisting skillfully. His speed and strength instantly made a few passing female students stop and exclaim in awe.
Yu Minglang gracefully jumped down, looking at Qian with a smug look unique to soone who’s just shown off. To him, these were small feats.
"These bars are no good; they’re too low. I’ll take you to my personal gym soti, and show you my training equipnt," he said. By the way, you can check out my firm muscles, whether it’s horizontal bars or parallel bars, arm strength, stamina, I’ve mastered it all.
Qian just nodded quietly and then flashed a faint smile.
"Actually, I just wanted to tell you that supposedly, soone once hanged themselves on these horizontal bars..."
College campus pressure, failing grades, breakups, thinking things over and then using a rope to hang oneself on the bars.
Yu Erha was greatly affected, stumbling over his own feet, completely thrown off by her words.
And seeing Qian’s mischievous face, he was both annoyed and tickled inside.
Passing through the playground and almost reaching the school gates, they walked behind the school’s stone monunt. Yu Minglang glanced around, realizing that they were in a blind spot. With the monunt in front and a tree behind, he quickly pulled Qian into his arms and, taking advantage of no one’s notice, swiftly kissed her on the lips.
Then he quickly scanned the area, perfect, no one noticed.
"There’s a leaf on your clothes, let get it off for you," he said, pretending to pat her clothes.
Qian slapped his hand away and glared at him, "Typical behavior!"
The hardware store was a bit of distance from the school, and as they walked there, Yu Minglang thoughtfully noticed just how familiar Qian was with the surroundings of this school.
"Did you familiarize yourself with the terrain before enrolling?"
He wasn’t sure whether to be relieved that his girl could handle university life independently or a bit forlorn that as her "boyfriend," all he could do was help her make the bed and put up the wall décor.
"So things you don’t need to familiarize yourself with are innate; you know this better than I do, right?" Judging from the way this guy was getting more skilled at nibbling, the female boss thought she couldn’t end up as a little wife, following his lead throughout.
If anyone’s leading, it’ll be her taking him along!
Her reply made Yu Minglang’s heart skip a beat, and his ears grew a bit warm.
Why did he feel like there was a hidden aning in her words?
After finishing their shopping, she didn’t rush to take him back to the dormitory. Instead, she walked with him all the way to the west side of the school dormitory, and Yu Minglang took the opportunity to also survey the campus where she would spend her next few years.
Occupying 4000 acres, with a construction area of 1 million square ters, the campus was lush green with trees casting shade, with beautiful lakes and mountains. The cultural environnt was excellent, but there were also downsides. He keenly sensed that, given this was a key university focused mainly on teacher education, the gender ratio wasn’t favorable.
Too few n, too many won. At his alma mater, there wasn’t a single girl, and having spent so long there, Yu Minglang understood the consequences of gender imbalance. Let’s just say, at a school with almost no girls, even if a sow walked in, the starved male students would see it as having delicate features. The few girls were practically treated like treasures.
At Qian’s school, the gender ratio was noticeably lopsided, which was unavoidable since the best psychology programs in the country were mostly in teacher-focused universities. After calculating the imbalanced gender ratio from passersby, Yu Minglang silently made a decision.
If he had ti, he needed to mail a couple of his photos to Qian to give her a visual refresh, lest in this female-dominated place, her standards beco blurred, and she starts seeing every odd duck as if they were Prince Charming...
His subtle and private scheming fell into Qian’s eyes as having a belly full of mischief and nowhere to unleash it.
"Over here." Qian pointed to the pavilion by the lake.
The lakeside was the university’s best spot for secret dates. During the ti of new enrollnts, this place temporarily emptied, and you couldn’t see pairs of cozy lovebirds, only the autumn wind creating ripples on the lake.
Yu Minglang began scanning the geographic location. Though this place was serene, it was well-connected and easily exposed within people’s line of sight, making it difficult to engage in any "technical" exchanges.
"Be serious, I have sothing to tell you, clear the garbage out of your mind for ."
