Chapter 175 Warmth
Chapter 175 Warmth
Because of the delay, Tao Shuxin had to wait for another ten minutes.
The two of them became familiar with each other and would occasionally be entangled in trivial matters. If the agreed time was a few minutes late, no one would care.
Seeing Tao Shuxin strolling down to Building 11 with her schoolbag on her back, Xu Mingyuan walked up to her and hugged her.
"Didn't I text you to go first? Why are you here?"
"It would be so boring to go by myself, why not come here and wait for you for a while."
Tao Shuxin was quite resentful. She waited for a long time downstairs of the men's dormitory. Seeing the boys coming and going, she felt a little restrained.
Tao Shuxin, who is well-dressed and good-looking, always attracts some attention.
But if someone is waiting for someone downstairs in the men's dormitory, it means that she is probably already taken. Most of the boys in the Faculty of Arts are honest, and no one dares to approach her. At most, they will just look at her a few more times.
When school just started, people often asked Tao Shuxin for her contact information, but after seeing her hanging out with a handsome boy all day, few people came to her anymore.
On the contrary, more and more people came to talk to Xu Mingyuan.
The library of Jiangda University has a collection of more than 6 million books, and about 4,000 students come every day. Fortunately, the library is large enough and not crowded.
Most of the college students who come to the library nowadays come to borrow books and study.
There are really not many students like Xu Mingyuan and Tao Shuxin who come here to use the Internet.
There was an Internet cable port in the corner of the reading room, so Tao Shuxin took out the Internet cable for both of them from her bag and connected it to her laptop.
Although she can connect to the Internet in the dormitory, Tao Shuxin still prefers to stay with Xu Mingyuan.
Xu Mingyuan seemed to exude a reassuring aura, which made her miss him very much. She would miss him so much if she couldn't see him for a day.
As for why I didn't get a wireless network card, the main reason was of course to save money. Another reason was that the library was quieter than the study room in the teaching building, and there were roving administrators, which reduced the chances of him doing anything to me.
Tao Shuxin really liked to whisper in someone's ear, and the atmosphere of the library gave her a sense of what a university should be like in an elegant manner.
However, she was obviously not very suitable for the style of an artistic girl. After pretending for a while, she soon relaxed.
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan hadn't moved, she hung her legs over his side to rest and asked him to massage her.
Xu Mingyuan is not as idle as Tao Shuxin said. He spends most of his time writing plans carefully and thinking about his next step. It cannot be said that he has planned everything out, but he will try his best to do everything to the best of his ability.
Tao Shuxin found that she was being led astray by Xu Mingyuan. She initially thought that going to university must be for studying, and that there would be endless books to read and endless professional courses to memorize every day.
Now, whenever she has nothing to do, she would call Xu Mingyuan out and skip evening self-study just to spend more time with him.
It's not that it's completely useless. When the two of them are together, her learning efficiency will be very high.
When Xu Mingyuan was using a notebook, Tao Shuxin would take out a book to recite, wait for him to finish, and then have fun together, or ask him to teach her how to use the computer.
Feeling that her legs were changing from being pinched to being kneaded and there was no sign of stopping, Tao Shuxin realized that he was taking advantage of her again.
Glancing to the side, she saw that all the files on the laptop desktop had been saved into the USB drive. Knowing that he had finished his work, she reluctantly pushed his wrist, allowing the sole of his shoe to fall back to the ground.
After writing down all the knowledge points, Tao Shuxin put down his notebook, folded the book, and patted him lightly to indicate that he was done with his work as well.
After learning some common methods of using Excel spreadsheets, Tao Shuxin saw that an hour and a half had passed, so she tilted her head back and massaged her eyes with the back of her hand.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Tao Shuxin saw Xu Mingyuan still staring at the screen and curled her lips. She accused him in her heart of living such a rough life and not knowing how to take care of himself, so she stretched out her delicate fingers to help him massage the dark circles under his eyes.
"Hmph, I'm fine..."
Tao Shuxin spoke softly into his ear, looking forward to his response.
"Okay, okay, you're the best."
Xu Mingyuan smiled, kissed her smooth face, and tasted the chamomile scent of the hand cream.
"Virtue, oh, there are people here, I hate it..."
Tao Shuxin's eyes darted left and right, looking around guiltily.
The reading room is not like the study room where everyone sits facing the front. Here you can see your classmates face to face.
"Then let's wait until there are fewer people."
"Even if there are few people, it won't work..."
Tao Shuxin pouted cutely in resistance, but her voice sounded even more guilty.
I seem to be becoming more and more proactive recently. When the weather gets cold, Xu Mingyuan starts to act stupid and doesn't move. It's really annoying...
While browsing the classmates' website together, Xu Mingyuan added her as a friend and quickly recommended some friends over.
"You are not allowed to add them as friends secretly."
Tao Shuxin's eyes widened when she saw him looking through the recommended friends, and her roommate was among them.
She majors in Chinese language, and there are many pretty girls there.
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was not only unaware of it but also clicked on the photo to look at it, he became a little wary.
"Why add them? I'm just testing whether it works well or not." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
With the support of Jiangda’s technical team, Xu Mingyuan did not intend to completely copy Facebook at that time, but added some features that would only be available in the future.
In addition to the Moments, there is also an Alumni Circle, and a fan function has been added.
However, Xu Mingyuan was worried about missing the point, so he did not add the public circle. Since it is currently called the Classmates Network, it is not good to let strangers get involved.
Although Tao Shuxin was careful to protect this relationship, she was not so stubborn. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan had no intention of adding strangers as friends, she began to discuss which photo was better. The pixels in 04 were very poor, and most of the photos were taken with computer cameras. The pictures were dark and gloomy, which could suppress the appearance of the people. It was difficult to pick out a few good-looking people in a hundred photos.
But this picture is not photoshopped, and it is real. For a beauty like Tao Shuxin, the authenticity can be seen at a glance.
"Xu Mingyuan, there are posts discussing you."
Tao Shuxin shook his arm and pointed to a post on the campus forum. The title was: Our Beihai campus has also produced a genius. I heard that the CEO of Sailing Technology is a student of our campus.
Most of the replies were saying they didn't believe it, or questioning its authenticity. Some also asked what Sailing Technology was. Someone replied that it was Sail MP4, and the post became popular immediately.
Yuan Yue: He is from our campus. My roommate told me that he is a classmate from the College of Arts.
Someone replied below, Hao Zhiyang: He is not from the School of Arts, but from our School of Science. The alumni network we use was set up and developed by him.
Some people are discussing and some are replying to posts. It looks very lively.
Xu Mingyuan took a quick glance and turned it off, not caring.
He thinks that a nickname function should be added to separate the circle of friends and the circle of alumni, so that some students who don’t like to show off themselves will also be interested in replying to posts.
Otherwise, it would seem a bit too deliberate for Xu Mingyuan to use his own name to brag in replying to the post.
His post only has more than a hundred replies and is not the most popular post.
The most popular post is the one discussing who is the campus beauty of Jiangnan University. Nowadays, most of the posts are posted online by boys, and this type of post will remain popular in the next ten years.
In just a few days, there were thousands of replies, and half of them were contributed by a dozen people.
"Xiao Yuanyuan, it seems like you are going to be famous..."
Tao Shuxin was a little excited at first, but soon looked at him with confusion.
"What kind of address are you giving me? Can't you just call me by my name?"
It had been so many years, and this was the first time Xu Mingyuan heard these words from her mouth. He couldn't help but shudder.
"Hmph, I do!" Tao Shuxin replied dissatisfiedly.
"Excellent people will always be noticed. Sigh, it's annoying."
"Hey, you're just a cocky ass."
Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes in disgust and held him tightly unconsciously, afraid that he would run away if she wasn't careful.
It was almost nine o'clock, and the library would be empty soon.
The two packed up their things and went to an empty corner to linger for a while.
After sending her to the downstairs of the dormitory, Xu Mingyuan also returned to the dormitory.
As usual, after washing up, Xu Mingyuan waited until ten o'clock and called Xiao Yangzhi.
"It's my brother calling."
Yang Zhi said in a low voice.
"Yes." Xu Mingyuan smiled and asked, "How was your study today?"
They chatted for a while, and Xu Mingyuan heard that the person on the other end would sometimes cough quietly while covering the receiver, and Xiao Yangzhi would also pause when she spoke, as if she was suppressing her voice.
"you caught a cold?"
"Yes, I took some medicine. There have been a lot of colds due to the change of seasons. Brother, you should take care of yourself too."
Yang Zhi blocked the microphone and coughed twice before he could utter a complete sentence of concern.
"You were fine when you called me at noon. Why are you coughing now? Did you go home to take a shower?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
Although Xu Mingyuan usually didn't allow Xiao Yangzhi to call at noon, she knew that she didn't care about such a small matter and would always find free time to chat for a few minutes.
"Yes."
"Hey, I've told you that you only need to wash once a week in winter. Washing too often will reduce your immunity. Why do you run home instead of going back to the dormitory to sleep at noon?" Xu Mingyuan said with a frown.
"I'm a girl, so I need to wash more frequently, ahem..."
Yang Zhi's voice became weaker and weaker, and he coughed twice.
"Oh my god, is there no water in our house? Is the heating not on?"
Xu Mingyuan suddenly thought of this question.
"It's okay, it's still warm..." Yang Zhi said in a low voice.
"It's a good thing, why don't you tell me, I'll go back and turn off the heating water that night."
Xu Mingyuan paid the heating bill, but there was no one at home.
How can we heat up the house without heating water in this cold weather? Xiao Yangzhi went home to take a bath, and was blown by the cold wind outside. It would be strange if she didn't catch a cold.
"Brother, are you going home?"
Yang Zhi felt a little guilty when she heard Xu Mingyuan's reprimand, but she was even happier about the meaning behind her brother's words.
The cheeks that were flushed due to illness now became more moist and attractive...
