Chapter 455 Fragrance
Chapter 455 Fragrance
There is a snowplow on campus, but it is only used to clear the main roads. The remaining corners still need to be cleared by students.
Generally speaking, by the third year, students will no longer be assigned outdoor labor tasks.
Unfortunately, there are more girls than boys in the College of Arts. The freshmen and sophomores can only sweep the snow on the steps, but they can’t push the snow on the road.
The first snow of winter is the hardest to clear. At this time, the weather is not yet cold enough to be dry, and the snow will melt into ice in less than a day after it falls on the ground. What’s more, it snowed heavily last night, and the layer of snow close to the ground was frozen into an ice shell.
"Who is this? Damn, Xu Mingyuan? No, Brother Yuan, why are you here sweeping the snow?"
Wu Chao, who was sweeping the snow while cursing, noticed a man in a black down jacket holding a shovel, bending over and shoveling ice hard.
Just when I was wondering which idiot was working so diligently, I took a quick look and found that it was Xu Mingyuan, who hadn't participated in outdoor work for a long time.
"I just happened to see you guys sweeping the snow, so I came over to clean up the mess. Doesn't this show that I'm also contributing?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"I didn't see you so diligent last year?" Wu Chao said.
"If we don't do it this year, we won't have another chance in the future. So we'll just do it for fun."
Xu Mingyuan continued to shovel the ice and snow on the ground.
During his college years, Xu Mingyuan only participated in outdoor labor regularly during his first semester living on campus. Then, during his sophomore year, he did not do much work.
Xu Mingyuan believed in doing whatever he wanted. He would do something when he felt like it, and if he found it boring, he would just give up. No one could control him anyway.
People who are free tend to enjoy life more, so whenever Xu Mingyuan does something, he strives to do it well and tries not to muddle through.
Wu Chao used to think Xu Mingyuan was a bit pretentious, but later he discovered that his father seemed to be of the same character.
Wu Chao does not have such a high level of attainment. He believes that young people should drive luxury cars around and show off. If they don’t even have material pursuits, what kind of young people are they?
"Where is Fan Tongtong? Why isn't she working with you?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
There were several couples in the class who were dating each other openly or secretly. Now that they had almost finished their work, they gathered together and chatted about something.
"She felt cold, so she went back to the classroom first." Wu Chao said.
"It's been going on for so long, are you still doing it?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Just chatting and having fun. I have nothing to do anyway."
"Ha, you're not as good as Zeng Ruilin."
Xu Mingyuan smiled and put down the work at hand, leaning on the shovel to rest. He had been working hard without eating much in the morning. Suddenly, when he looked up, he felt a little dizzy.
"Fuck, don't mention it. That bastard of his was able to find a good girl. I'm so damn envious!"
When Wu Chao heard Xu Mingyuan mention this, he couldn't hold it anymore.
Zeng Ruilin is a guy who has no ability but still pretends to be cool. He exudes a show-off temperament from head to toe. I don't know where he got the ability from, but he hooked up with a girl who has a pretty face and a good personality and conversation.
"Although Zeng Ruilin is unreliable, he still has some skills. Licking one girl is called a dog licker, and licking a group of girls is called a licking king. He has a clear goal, casting a wide net and focusing on catching fish. Why don't you learn from him?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"I won't do anything shameful!" Wu Chao said arrogantly.
"Awesome, Brother Chao has a bright future."
Xu Mingyuan gave a thumbs up, this silly bird finally had it in his life.
The third-year students were difficult to manage, so Ye Yining made a special trip to inspect them and asked the girls in the class to buy milk tea for the male students.
"We have cleared the snow this time, so our class won't be needed next time."
Seeing that the snow had been almost cleared, Ye Yining said encouragingly.
"Teacher Ye, you said the same thing last time it rained heavily." A boy in the class shouted.
"If we can't find anyone temporarily, is there anything our class can do to help? Come on, everyone, get your milk tea." Ye Yining greeted.
Having an incompetent counselor, the students under her also suffer. The college leaders would go to Ye Yining for help whenever there was something to do. She was thin-skinned and didn't know how to refuse the leaders' requests. Whenever she couldn't spare anyone, she would ask these third-year students to do the work.
Ye Yining knew she was in the wrong and didn't feel like finding fault, so she just went to distribute the milk tea.
Fortunately, the class fees for the world history major in the third year are sufficient. There is not only a rich young man in the class, but also a troublemaker Xu Mingyuan, who have saved a lot of money for the class fees, which is enough for Ye Yining to maintain her relationship with her classmates.
"Look, Xu Mingyuan is working hard. What else do you have to complain about?"
Suddenly, Ye Yining found Xu Mingyuan clearing the last bit of snow with a shovel. She was surprised and immediately pointed at him and said.
"Teacher Ye, can you please not put me on the fire?" Xu Mingyuan said helplessly.
"Why are you in the mood to come and work? Did you see the message I sent in the group yesterday?" Ye Yining asked.
"No, I just happened to meet you and I was embarrassed to hide away." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Are you still embarrassed? Here, I'll give you a cup of milk tea."
Ye Yining carried the bag and let Xu Mingyuan choose.
"I don't want to drink it, you can keep it for yourself." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Hurry up and take one. It's cold outside and it will get cool soon."
After Xu Mingyuan picked a cup, Ye Yining continued to distribute it to the next person.
Once a woman reaches the age of 25, she can no longer hide her mature charm.
I remember when I first saw Ye Yining, her gestures could not hide her immature temperament, and she even deliberately dressed in a mature way. However, now, even if she wears a pure white coat, she will not look as pink as a girl.
Ye Yining has only grown older but not smarter, and she still hasn't made any progress in dealing with problems.
But at school, I only interact with a group of college students, so it is difficult to make any progress. It would be a waste for such a serious and responsible person.
"Don't you want to drink it?" Ye Yining asked when she saw Xu Mingyuan just holding the milk tea in his hand.
"No." Xu Mingyuan said.
"If you don't want to drink it, give it to me." Ye Yining said, stretching out her hand.
"Don't you want to drink too?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"It's a waste if you keep it."
"How can it be called a waste? I'm sending it to my girlfriend."
"If you hadn't come earlier, we would have calculated the number of people and bought milk tea. If we had known, we would have bought one more cup." Ye Yining said with a sigh.
"You didn't say it beforehand, but you said it afterwards. Teacher Ye, have you been working in the public institution for a long time? Have you become hypocritical? Oh, it's boring. I'm leaving first." Xu Mingyuan said.
"How am I hypocritical? Hey, remember to participate in class activities more often!"
The counselor had the most things to do in the morning. Seeing Xu Mingyuan leave without looking back, Ye Yining didn't talk to him much. She just stood there and shook her head helplessly.
"depend on mood."
Xu Mingyuan did not give a precise answer and just waved his hand.
Tao Shuxin had an 8 a.m. class today, and when Xu Mingyuan found her class, it was almost nine o'clock.
I promised Tao Shuxin last night that I would accompany her to class, but I was delayed for an hour by Xiao Yangzhi in the morning. When I arrived at school, I had to sweep the snow again, so I was late.
This class is an ideological and political class, a large class that the two of them take together. It will end completely in the first semester of the junior year, and there are only a few classes left. Tao Shuxin had urged Xu Mingyuan to come and attend the class long ago.
But Xu Mingyuan was still late.
Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes at Xu Mingyuan's behavior of not keeping his word and continued to listen to the class, not even drinking the milk tea he handed over.
Within two minutes, the bell for break rang and Tao Shuxin grabbed the milk tea.
"Huh, you're so late. Didn't we agree to go to class together?"
Tao Shuxin took a big sip of milk tea, puffing up her cheeks, and whined and complained to Xu Mingyuan.
"Aren't I earning money for you to drink milk tea?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"Come on, you think you can trick me by buying me a cup of milk tea?" Tao Shuxin said with a pout.
"I didn't buy it. I went to shovel ice. This is the hard work pay from the class. I couldn't bear to drink a single sip, so I quickly brought it to you." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Are you so diligent?" Tao Shuxin said in surprise.
"if not?"
"No wonder you feel so cold. I'm freezing." Tao Shuxin said.
"Then why don't you warm me up?" Xu Mingyuan said.
“There are so many people…”
Although he said that, Tao Shuxin still leaned closer to him.
"What are you afraid of? They are an old couple."
Xu Mingyuan hugged the girl tightly. They were already juniors, and the students who attended classes regularly already knew each other. Who would care about this? Besides, the corner position chosen by Tao Shuxin would not disturb others.
"Who is your old married couple...Huh? You smell so good."
Tao Shuxin's nose twitched, and she suddenly turned her head and sniffed Xu Mingyuan carefully.
"You smelled it wrong."
Xu Mingyuan said it as if he didn't care, but his heart skipped a beat.
He left in a hurry in the morning, but he still washed his hair. Could it be that Xiao Yangzhi was worried that he would catch a cold if he went out, so she didn't let him wash his hair?
"How could I smell it wrong? I recovered from my cold a long time ago." Tao Shuxin sniffed the scent of Xu Mingyuan carefully, lingered on his neck and took a few deep breaths before saying with certainty, "It's the scent of Xiaozhizhi!"
"Is this true?" Xu Mingyuan said with his eyes wide open.
"It must be!" Tao Shuxin left Xu Mingyuan's arms, took off a scarf from his down jacket, smelled it and said, "You're wearing the wrong scarf. This one belongs to Xiao Zhizhi."
"Oh, maybe I was in a hurry this morning and took the wrong one."
Xu Mingyuan relaxed instantly. If Tao Shuxin couldn't find a reason, he didn't know how to explain it.
"No way? Can't you smell it?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"I can't smell it. It's too cold in the winter and my nose isn't very good anymore."
Xu Mingyuan had long been accustomed to the smell of Xiao Yangzhi, so how could he possibly notice the fragrance on the scarf?
"Wow, it smells so good! How can I not smell it..."
Tao Shuxin held the scarf to cover her face. Hats and scarves were crocheted with wool and could not be washed frequently. The remaining fragrance was even stronger than that on Xiao Yangzhi.
"Here, I'll send it to her later."
"Just leave it there first, I'll put it on and you can smell it. It's really fragrant... Hey! You really want to smell it? You're a pervert!"
Tao Shuxin held up the scarf and saw Xu Mingyuan leaning his head over and really wanting to smell it, so she quickly took it away.
Xiao Yangzhi is your sister, how could you do this?
