By around 6:30 a.m., after their run, they each headed back to their dorms to freshen up and shower. Zhou Mo was waiting for her downstairs on his bike at 7:00.
Yiyi slung her backpack over her shoulder, hopped onto Zhou Mo’s bike, and seeing her roommates who had just run back, she waved cheerfully at them.
"Having a boyfriend to take care of you really is different, huh? Look at her, all smug,"
As Zou Wenqing wiped her sweat and stamped her feet with envy, Qiao Shan chuckled, "Let’s go, you’ve got your sisters to keep you company just the sa."
"No way, I need to find myself a boyfriend too. I want my boyfriend to take care of as well."
Zou Wenqing’s boastful declaration prompted Wen Ya to purse her lips and giggle, "Just be careful we don’t end up finding brothers instead of boyfriends, girl!"
Today, they chose to eat at Zhilan Garden’s buffet restaurant near Zijing Apartnts. Breakfast was fifteen yuan per person, all-you-can-eat. They each had a free al card from the school that allowed them to waltz in, pick whatever they wanted, and because they had just finished exercising, they went for high-protein foods to replenish themselves: milk, eggs, beef, vegetable salads, and sandwiches. They ate well and felt satisfyingly full, not to ntion it was all very nutritious.
At 7:30, they headed straight for the lecture hall. They thought they were early, but so had arrived even earlier. They took over the whole fifth row—eight seats in total—just right for the eight of them from both dorms. They took the center seats, then started texting on their phones, urging the others to hurry up.
Fifteen minutes later, the others gasped for breath as they ran up. Yiyi, seeing their pitiful state, frowned and said,
"I told you to get up earlier. You just wouldn’t listen. Do you know what it ans to sleep in at Tsinghua?"
Zou Wenqing, panting like a cow, waved her hands frantically at her, but Yiyi didn’t get it: "What are you talking about?"
While catching her breath, Qiao Shan translated, "She’s telling you to shut up!"
Yiyi was taken aback, and Wen Ya picked up Yiyi’s book-saving seat, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.
"The child’s had a shock today. You’d better find her a boyfriend to calm her down,"
Yiyi: "..." I don’t even have a boyfriend yet, and I’m supposed to comfort you. Who’s going to comfort , huh?
But she didn’t dare say that out loud.
As for why she didn’t dare, who knows what she was thinking at the ti?
The one who ca to lecture them was a professor from the Physics Departnt. While taking attendance with his reading glasses on, he suddenly paused when he reached Zhou Mo’s na.
"Co on, which one of you is Zhou Mo? Stand up, let have a look."
Zhou Mo, not understanding why, slowly stood up: "Teacher, I am Zhou Mo."
"Oh, so you are Zhou Mo. Indeed a handso talent, but there’s one thing I don’t understand. Can you explain for ?"
"Please go ahead, teacher."
"You were originally guaranteed a spot in our Physics Departnt, so why did you choose to take the university entrance exam and ended up in the Computer Departnt?"
Zhou Mo: "..." Is this really an appropriate question?
Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh at his misfortune. She really wanted to see how Zhou Mo would respond. He couldn’t just say, "Teacher, I thought the Physics Departnt had poor job prospects," could he?
Ha ha ha... If he dared to say that, he’d probably be hunted down by the teachers in the Physics Departnt, right?
However, what caught Yiyi off guard was Zhou Mo grabbing the back of her collar and promptly hoisting her up.
"Teacher, my girlfriend Yiyi is right here. If I go to the Physics Departnt, what should I do if soone elopes with her?"
Pfft, the students were simultaneously sour and awkward eating dog food while being bowled over by Zhou Mo’s startling remark.
Yiyi was utterly bewildered as she glanced between Zhou Mo and the teacher, wishing she could crawl under the table right now. This was just too embarrassing.
To her surprise, the teacher had a mont of realization upon hearing the na Yiyi: "Yiyi?"
"Present, teacher, I’m here!" Yiyi raised her hand like a lucky cat, looking both silly and cute.
"So you’re the Yiyi that Professor Guan ntioned?"
Professor Guan? He ntioned her? When did Professor Liu not go to Physics but instead drop by the Art Departnt?
"Uh, maybe, probably, yes, I guess?"
"Good, good. Being rembered by Professor Guan and getting into the Computer Departnt is worth being noticed. Young man, your forethought is quite interesting."
Professor Liu waved Zhou Mo off, "All right, you two sit down. Young love is good, but you must keep up with your studies!"
Zhou Mo nodded at the teacher, while Yiyi was so mortified she was burning up and turning red, biting her teeth in hatred at Zhou Mo: "Nonsense!"
Zhou Mo glanced at her sideways, whether out of guilt or sothing else, he didn’t respond to her and just opened his book waiting for class to start.
Yiyi pinched his flesh with her fingernail, but he didn’t react, and she eventually gave up on her own accord, not knowing that when she did, his teeth were clenched in pain.
This class lasted a whole one and a half hours and for Yiyi, it felt both long and irkso. So much so that apart from chanically taking notes, her mind was almost blank, with Zhou Mo’s words reverberating in her head. Girlfriend? Since when was she his girlfriend?
Was this guy too high-handed? He had the audacity to publicize their relationship without even confessing?
Zhou Mo felt Yiyi’s searing glares countless tis, but he restrained himself from looking at her until the class ended.
Yiyi told her roommates to go ahead, and Qiao Shan, seeing her deep in thought, didn’t forget to remind her.
"The next class is a major course, it’s in Room 2, don’t get it wrong! We’re going ahead to grab seats."
They were in Room 6, and the upperclassn from their next class were already coming. Yiyi packed her things and left from the left side, Zhou Mo quickly followed, tugging at her sleeve: "Angry?"
Yiyi turned and glared at him: "Since when was I your girlfriend?"
"I thought you knew. Since high school, you’ve been mine. Everybody knows it!"
Yiyi: "...." This guy could really spout nonsense, counting high school too? Were they even from the sa world? Why didn’t she know?
"Get on the bike first; we still have to go to the classroom. If you’re unwilling, I can explain to others. Actually, choosing as your boyfriend is quite a good deal for you. Look, both our families know each other well, I treat you kindly, we can save the ti of getting to know each other, and we can study together, make progress together, take the graduate school entrance examination together, work together. Isn’t that wonderful?"
Yiyi: "...." So he could talk so much at once, it just depended on whether he wanted to.
She thought confession would be a boy at an appropriate occasion doing sothing romantic, but this straight man just claid her ownership directly. Why did that bother her so much?
But if you say she’s unwilling, it doesn’t seem like she is deep inside. She might even feel a little secretly thrilled?
What kind of bizarre psychology was this?
Ah, so tiring, so complicated; was she being overly sentintal?
