The next morning, when Zhao Yuan got up to wash his face and brush his teeth, he saw Lin Wenxi hurriedly get up and follow him to the washstand. Zhao Yuan asked, "Why do you get up so early?"
"Today, I'm going to herd the sheep, just like a shepherd dog," Lin Wenxi mumbled.
"What do you mean, little lamb? Tell me. What're you up to?"
Lin Wenxi smiled without saying a word.
Lin Wenxi followed Zhao Yuan everywhere, which made the latter very confused. He pointed at the girls' dormitory building and said, "I'm going to deliver some breakfast food. Do you want to come with me?"
Lin Wenxi nodded earnestly.
"Are you saying that you want to watch me deliver breakfast to her?"
Lin Wenxi nodded again.
"So I'm the sheep?" Zhao Yuan could not help but cry out.
Lin Wenxi nodded again.
"You're courting death, little lamb!" Zhao Yuan stopped and shouted grump
Not long after the military training, the students had to take formal classes and lectures. Soon enough, they found out that these courses were as demanding as the military training. The university did not require the computer science majors to attend many lectures on their professional knowledge. When Lin Wenxi checked the university timetable, he found out that there were at most two one-hour lectures per weekday and sometimes, there were no classes or lectures to attend on Thursdays and Fridays. However, when he took a look at the exam arrangements. He could not help but gasp in astonishment. They had to take lots of courses and pass lots of exams within the following three months. Their compulsory courses included physics,which Lin Wenxi hated the most, English, advanced mathematics, discrete mathematics, geography, history, politics, ethics and morality and law basics. Their professional courses included C++ programming, java programming, lura scripting, object-or
One day, Chen Wanxin asked Shu Xiaoman to pick dance dresses for the dancing contest togther with her. After they decided on the dresses and told the shop owner all the sizes that they needed, Chen Wanxin invited Shu Xiaoman to drink a cup of coffee with her in the best cafe nearby. "What do you think about Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi?" Chen Yuxin asked with a smile. "They're great being together. I haven't seen another two boys in the university who get along with each other so well," replied Shu Xiaoman. "Well, you should know why Zhao Yuan treats Wenxi so well. It's because I asked him to do so in exchange for me being his girlfriend." Chen Wanxin took a sip of her coffee, picked out a good-looking sugar cube, and crushed it. "Well, it was because of that in the beginning," Shu Xiaoman said and took a sip of her coffee. After that, she added, "This black coffee has little sugar. Although it's bitter, it can stimulate the central
As Chen Wanxin's dancing team and Zhao Yuan's basketball team had been built up, Chen Wanxin invited all her team members and all the members of Zhao Yuan's team to have a party tonight. Everybody was excited upon hearing this suggestion and readily agreed. The three boys from Dorm No.216 enjoyed singing and drinking and could not wait to start the party and impress everyone. Zhao Yuan managed to invite another person to this party. He believed that this person's coming would pleasantly surprise everyone. Despite the complicated relationships between the guys of Dorm No.216 and the girls of Dorm No. 213, they never felt awkward playing together. All the girls of Dorm No. 213 would go to the party. Zhao Yuan also dragged Lin Wenxi, who was not on his basketball team, out of their dorm to join this party. Zhao Yuan said, "You should go out to play. You read that piano score every day. If you continue to do that, you'll get moss growing on you." Lin Wenxi sa
The boys and girls enjoyed themselves at the karaoke. They drank, sang, rolled dice and played poker or mahjong. Lin Wenxi and Gu Yu kept whispering to each other, and Zhao Yuan sat cross-legged beside them and looked at them smilingly. Sometimes, Zhao Yuan would leave to drink and then quickly come back. Lin Wenxi did not say a word to Zhao Yuan, but every time he felt tired, Zhao Yuan would notice that and approach him to let him lean on his body. Zhao Yuan took such a good care of the two boys. Shu Xiaoman was amazed upon seeing that. Suddenly, they heard a sweet female voice and could not help but listen to her attentively. She sang like an angel and deeply impressed everyone in the karaoke room. It was Zhang An'an singing a love song. "You're always brave and always protect me. I'm somewhat petty but care a lot about you. I'm really blessed to have you in my life..." Zheng Kai kicked Wang Xiang into the cente
Someone said confusedly, "Hasn't Zhang Dong always taken care of Lin Wenxi?" "What was going on?" Gu Yu asked Shu Xiaoman, the nearest bystander of the conflict, but she cried so hard that she could not utter a single word. Chen Wanxin contemplatively looked at Shu Xiaoman and felt very surprised. "Come on, they're grown-up men. Let them handle their own business. Let's continue to play," Wang Zhengjuan said and immediately came up with a game, which was similar to music chairs. Instead of snatching chairs, they passed around a sheet of paper with their mouths and the one who failed to pass the paper to the next person when the music stopped would be eliminated. The boys and girls felt excited upon hearing this idea. They asked the waiters to come in and clean the table for them. After that, they gleefully began to play. Shu Xiaoman did not seem to be interested in this game at all. She stood up and wanted to go out. Zhang An'a
When Lin Wenxi woke up again, he saw Zhao Yuan bent over his desk, snoring. It was winter now, but Zhao Yuan still wore only a thin sweater and a coat. Upon seeing that, Lin Wenxi could not help but think worriedly, "It was really cold and windy last night. He drank so much beer and went out to find me in the chilly weather. It's not good for his health no matter how strong he is." His nose twitched and he began to weep. He thought to himself, "Zhao Yuan, I know that you're optimistic and humorous and can make fun of anything, but what do you really think about me? Do you take me seriously? Or do you just treat me well because of a bet? I don't blame you. I can't blame you. My body was dirty. I can't ask you to adore me and cherish me." He got out of his bed and saw a cup of cold ginger tea on his desk. Beside the ginger tea, there were a few buns and tarts and a bottle of soy milk. He found a note beneath the bottle. It was left by Gu Xi.
Gu Xi continued to talk despite being aware of Lin Wenxi's cold attitude toward him. He told Lin Wenxi that there was a newly-opened piano store nearby. As they shared this common interest, they went to the piano store together. It was called Ziyun Piano Store. When Lin Wenxi saw this name, he found it somewhat familiar. The sales girl in the store greeted them cordially and invited Gu Xi to play a tune. Gu Xi shook Lin Wenxi's arm. To his surprise, Lin Wenxi was intrigued and quicky sat on the bench to play a peice of classical music. When enjoying the music, the sales girl noticed that Lin Wenxi's sleeves were too long and it hindered him from playing the piano smoothly. Before the boy realized it, the girl went over to roll the sleeve up for him, revealing some new bruises on his arm. Lin Wenxi was bruised from belt beating. He quickly rolled down his sleeves to cover his bruises and left. Gu Xi grabbed his hand and burst into tears. "Why
There was a small bar called Jifu Bar near Jifu University. It preferred to use some old songs from the 1980s as the background music. Sometimes, it would also play some American country music, blues and jazz. Zhao Yuan and Zhang Dong kept drinking until Zhang Dong got tipsy and bent over the table. Zhao Yuan asked in a deep voice. "Is there anything between you and Wenxi?" Zhang Dong was tipsy, but his mind was still clear. He told Zhao Yuan about his past and what he had done to Lin Wenxi. About nine years ago, Zhang Dong's parents had managed to transfer him from a middle school in Inner Mongolia to another one in Central China, since they believed that their son could receive a better education in the new school. Beyond their expectations, Zhang Dong had much difficulty with his lessons in the new school and gradually gave up his studies. He skipped classes, made friends with street hooligans and often got into fights with the bad boys.
