âWhat is it? You guys secretly studied while I wasnât around. Iâm really sad!â
After Li Li learned that Tan Rou had become Tian Tianâs teacher, she pretended to be very sad. âNo, I donât want to tutor those students anymore. I want to go back to the Capital now.â
After Li Li returned from the Capital, many parents of students came to her and asked her to tutor their children. The parents were very generous, and Li Li did not want to reject them, so she accepted a few students.
âSure, but you have to finish tutoring those students before you can come back.â Tan Rou chuckled.
Li Li puffed up her cheeks and sighed. âHow would I have time to learn from you after I come back? I still have to run for the vice-president of the student council next semester.â
She had joined many clubs and school associations. She would be busy with many things next semester and would not have time to spend with Tan Rou and the others.
âLi Li, donât work too hard. Everyone has their own things to do. I think what youâre doing now is good. Thereâs no need to change yourself.â Tian Tian advised her.
âBut Iâm different. Iâm too stupid and I donât have anything special to show off. Thatâs why I want to learn new knowledge.â
âAlright⦠I was just joking. I havenât seen you guys in a long time. I miss you guys.â
âTime flies,â Tian Tian said. âThereâs only a month left. Youâll be able to see us in a month.â
Li Li then cheered up. âOkay, okay. Iâll see you at school.â
Just as Tian Tian had said, time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Tian Tian stayed in the Capital during the summer break and did not go home. School was about to start, so she had to go home to see her parents. It was also a good time to let them see the changes in her.
Tao Zhi wanted to go back with her, but Tian Tian rejected him. The comments on the Internet made Tian Tian realize the gap between her and Tao Zhi. She couldnât let Tao Zhi see her family yet.
Her parents didnât know about the trending topic last time, so she continued to hide it from them.
Half a month later, all the university students returned to school, and the university town became lively again.
Tan Rou went to the laboratory to report as usual, but she saw an unexpected person there.
âClass monitor, why are you here?â Tan Rou was very puzzled. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI heard that the universityâs laboratory is preparing to make an exception to admit undergraduate students, so I came over to take a look,â Xu Yan said lightly.
Tan Rou had indeed heard about this. School had just started at that time, so the recruitment document should not have been issued yet, right?
âOh, then which research group do you plan to apply for?â Tan Rou asked.
âI havenât thought about it yet.â Xu Yan replied.
How could Tan Rou not know what he was thinking? Although it was summer vacation, she had not lost contact with Shang Jin. Shang Jin said that Xu Yan was still concerned about her face. She did not know how to answer Xu Yan, so she chose to remain silent most of the time.
Xu Yan had seen Shang Jin before he went back, but Shang Jin was wearing a mask at that time, so he didnât see how her face had recovered.
âClass monitor, what do you think of Senior Shang?â Tan Rou suddenly said.
Xu Yan was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled and said, âI was quite annoyed with her at first. She always followed me when I was eating or walking back to the dormitory. She was like a sticky tape that I couldnât get rid of but she is very sunny and cheerful. When she is by my side, I always have a different feeling. Iâm very happy.â
âYou are happy.â Tan Rou said, âYou two are like two poles of a magnet. One is passionate like fire, and the other is cold like ice. When the two of you collide, you will melt into water. Isnât that great?â
âStop joking. We donât have that kind of relationship.â Xu Yan said.
âYou donât like Senior Shang at all?â Tan Rou asked.
Xu Yan fell silent. He didnât like to talk, and he didnât like to lie. He didnât even know how he felt about Shang Jin. He should like her a little.
âSchool just started.â Tan Rou said, âThe new semester needs a new atmosphere and a new beginning. If you like someone, then go after them boldly. If itâs not suitable, then let it go as soon as possible so that the two of you wonât feel uncomfortable.â
Xu Yan frowned. Tan Rou continued, âSenior Shang Jin will be back for class tomorrow. Go help her with her luggage.â
âAlright, Iâll go.â Xu Yan nodded.
