Chapter 245 Blinded
Chapter 245 Blinded
Tao Shuxin naturally did not have the same freedom as Xu Mingyuan. He could arrange to go to school as a day student just by saying a word, but the little girl could not.
It’s not that there is no solution.
Universities like Jiangnan University, while having strict requirements on professional performance, are relatively free in terms of students' lives.
However, the girl was still very scared about the idea of living together. Even though they were actually living together, she didn't dare to easily agree to Xu Mingyuan's request and went to live in Xu Mingyuan's small home for the sake of a comfortable environment.
The main reason, of course, was her family. She was afraid that her mother would suddenly call her counselor and say that she had gone to live off campus.
Part of the reason is also due to one's own shame.
The little girl comforted herself in her heart that she just sneaked out of school to stay for a while, which could not be considered as living together...
Tao Shuxin was deceiving herself by looking for all kinds of excuses, just to give an explanation to her guilty conscience, and then stay with Xu Mingyuan with peace of mind.
Tao Shuxin's academic workload is relatively heavy, and his major is more in Chinese language. It is impossible for him to just muddle through all day like Xu Mingyuan, who majors in world history.
Tao Shuxin has very good self-discipline. He plays when he should play and studies when he should study, and he keeps the two things very separate.
Tao Shuxin reminded Xu Mingyuan several times that he should learn something during his college years and should not spend his precious time having fun, and there were some embarrassing things that were unspeakable.
Xu Mingyuan was speechless. He had a lot of trivial things to do every day. He was even busier than Tao Shuxin. His schedule was very full every day, and he always found time to accompany her.
It’s not that Xu Mingyuan doesn’t want to learn something, but there is really nothing to learn in the world history major. He would only listen to courses on Chinese history.
Professors of liberal arts universities these days have all experienced the earth-shaking changes after the reform and opening up, and the liberal ideas that were prevalent in the country in the 1980s and 1990s had a great psychological impact.
The teachers of world history courses all have a reflective spirit. When talking about the history of foreign countries, they always have to make some implicit self-criticism. Xu Mingyuan felt a headache listening to them.
It cannot be said that it is a completely bad thing. At least it educates students to know shame and then be brave.
But in Xu Mingyuan's opinion, the two professional teachers had stayed in the school for too long, like canaries bound by their thoughts, and were somewhat disconnected from the real society.
Xu Mingyuan likes to attend ideological and political classes. It is a wonderful thing to attend classes with a little girl, and the overall level of professors at Jiangnan University is quite good.
Although Xu Mingyuan's thoughts had already been determined, some of the things the professor occasionally said could still make him open his eyes and sound interesting.
One of the little girl’s favorite things to do on weekdays is to go to class with Xu Mingyuan.
I can still experience the unspeakable feelings of sneaking around under the table when I was in high school.
However, you don’t have to do small actions secretly anymore, you can do them openly.
You can hold hands openly and drink the same cup of milk tea. You don’t have to sit in the corner anymore. Instead, you can grab a seat in the first three rows.
Tao Shuxin was fascinated by this sweet feeling.
But what made Tao Shuxin feel embarrassed was that Xu Mingyuan's behavior was becoming more and more excessive. There were so many people in the first three rows, and he didn't care about other people's eyes, but he was too thin-skinned.
He is not allowed to pinch his elastic legs during class. He will only behave himself if he is pinched hard.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Mingyuan would be quiet for a while, waiting for the teacher to ask him to take notes, and then he would pull out his own hands and rub and knead them.
However, today he suddenly stopped his tricks, which made Tao Shuxin feel very strange, and the pen that was flying on his fingertips stopped subconsciously.
Although Xu Mingyuan still accompanied her to school and hurried over to eat breakfast with her, such a small change made Tao Shuxin feel a little uneasy.
Could it be that my charm has decreased?
Tao Shuxin was anxious. She heard that after a boy gets a girl's body, he won't care as much as before.
"Are you so honest today?"
Tao Shuxin glanced at him as if nothing had happened and whispered something.
Since this bastard isn't taking notes, why doesn't he bother me?
"Aren't you afraid that it will affect your note-taking?" Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"Is it?"
Tao Shuxin narrowed his eyes, very suspicious.
"Ah."
Xu Mingyuan nodded and continued to stare at the blackboard in a daze.
"You are hiding something from me."
Tao Shuxin was very unhappy.
"No."
Xu Mingyuan did not admit it.
"Yes."
Tao Shuxin started to pout and her little face looked downcast.
Then Xu Mingyuan's hand was pulled under the table and held by the angry little girl.
Tao Shuxin's cheeks were puffed up like little buns, and her little emotions were all on her face. How could Xu Mingyuan not see what she was thinking? It was just a sudden evil taste that made him want to tease her.
The little girl's hands were smooth and soft, but she used force, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly run away.
Xu Mingyuan didn't want her to be anxious for too long, so he whispered in her ear, "You don't have classes this afternoon, right?"
"Well, how did you know that?"
Tao Shuxin replied with a little emotion.
"Then go home and study in the afternoon." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"You wish!"
Seeing his evil smile, Tao Shuxin felt embarrassed and annoyed, and shook his hand away. So he was thinking of some bad ideas! He made her think wildly again, and Tao Shuxin didn't want to pay attention to this bad guy who was full of bad intentions.
"Are you going or not? Give me a definite answer."
"No! I don't have classes, but you have classes in the afternoon!"
Tao Shuxin refused without even thinking about it. Young girls should be more reserved.
This bad guy is not even hinting now, but giving clear hints. How can I possibly follow his wishes?
"If I want to go, I'll go. If I don't want to go, I won't go. What's the big deal about skipping a class?" Xu Mingyuan said nonchalantly.
"No, I don't want to delay your class!"
Tao Shuxin had already made up her mind. No matter how much he said today, she would never agree.
Reluctantly, she pushed his hand away. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was finally listening to the class seriously, Tao Shuxin started taking notes based on what the teacher said.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the teacher asked them to answer questions, Tao Shuxin had a thought of revenge, so she passed through Xu Mingyuan's arms and raised her hand high.
But it’s okay for her to behave like this in the back row, but in the third row, does that mean the teacher is as blind as she is?
Tao Shuxin's movements were large. The one who came to teach the ideological and political class today was still the stubborn Professor Li. He pressed the podium and frowned and said, "Girl in the pink jacket in the third row, you come and answer the question. Don't look around. I'm talking about you!"
"Ah? It's me?"
Tao Shuxin pointed at herself with her mouth open, stood up awkwardly, and read the answer from her notes.
Ideological and political courses should answer students' own opinions. Although Tao Shuxin's answer is correct, it is not very nutritious.
The two people's secret actions would affect some students around them. In order not to let the little girl bear the responsibility alone, Xu Mingyuan also raised his hand.
Xu Mingyuan's answer was quite good. He expressed his own views based on the current social situation. However, he did not deliberately express his views in order to exonerate Tao Shuxin. His answer was also impartial, which was just to divert the attention of the stubborn old professor.
"Professor Li is so fierce."
The ninety-minute class finally ended, and Tao Shuxin patted her chest with lingering fear.
"Who asked you to make trouble? You knew that Li Yajiang was a difficult old scholar, but you still insisted on sitting in the front row."
"I'm making trouble?" Tao Shuxin was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and grabbed his collar, saying with a look of grief and indignation: "You actually said I was making trouble! It was you who started it!"
"Tsk, tell me clearly, who started it? Weren't you the one who spoke to me first? You are framing a good person for no reason, right?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
When he did his little tricks, he always did it when the teacher wasn't paying attention. He was nothing like her, a silly girl, who was so excited and conspicuous.
"It's you, it's you, it's you!"
Knowing that he couldn't win the argument, Tao Shuxin started to act like a rogue and imitate him.
He put the notebook neatly into the shoulder bag, threw it to Xu Mingyuan, and asked him to carry it.
"Shu Xin, do you want to go to the cafeteria together?"
Tao Shuxin's roommate Cheng Shuang came over to say hello.
"No, thank you."
Tao Shuxin smiled and waved her hand, shrugged her shoulders and indicated that she wanted to go with Xu Mingyuan.
The courses she chose were all based on Xu Mingyuan's class schedule.
Apart from returning to the dormitory to rest at night, her interactions with her roommates were basically to see if Xu Mingyuan was busy.
After all, how can being with roommates be as happy as being with your loved one?
Xu Mingyuan chatted briefly with her roommate, then took the girl's delicate little hand and left the second teaching building.
The temperature warms up in March, and bulges appear on the branches. Soon, new buds will sprout in large numbers.
The cold loneliness will eventually pass. Tao Shuxin looked at the scenery around him and felt very good.
After all, Xu Mingyuan helped to excuse her in class, otherwise she would have been criticized.
Tao Shuxin was quite satisfied with Xu Mingyuan's performance. She started humming a song while tapping her feet.
"Let's go eat hotpot?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Shall we go now? Well, the rotating hot pot on the second floor is delicious. I haven't eaten it for a long time and I miss it."
Tao Shuxin smacked her lips. She was so greedy that she couldn't help swallowing her saliva whenever food and drink were mentioned.
"What's there to eat in that lousy hotpot on the second floor of the cafeteria? It's cheap and might even be made of zombie meat. Why don't we go buy some fresh beef, mutton and vegetables and eat them back home? Didn't you say you wanted to eat last time? Now's the chance."
Xu Mingyuan made a better suggestion.
"..."
Tao Shuxin didn't say anything, just stared at him with narrowed eyes.
"Hey, let's go."
Xu Mingyuan had an innocent look on his face, not knowing why she was looking at him, so he took the hand of the staggering little girl and walked towards the opposite direction of the cafeteria.
Tao Shuxin's pretty face turned red, and she felt that she was about to be led astray by Xu Mingyuan.
She used to be a good girl, but since she fell in love, she started to learn to lie.
I find reasons to deceive my parents, find excuses to deceive myself, and I don’t know when it will end...
