Wonderful Pet Shop

The so-called first-time raw and second-time cooked.What's more, in all fairness, Bai Ze himself did not object to Ruan Meng's kiss.So he didn't immediately push Ruan Meng away like an electric shock, but quickly weighed whether he should react very furiously or shyly and bewildered in this situation.He is weighing which kind of response can better stimulate Ruan Meng's feedback.

After a moment of hesitation, there was a sudden tingling sensation on his lips.It was Ruan Meng's tongue gently tracing the shape of his lips.

When the tingling sensation flowed through his limbs like light, Bai Ze suddenly had an extremely bad premonition.

He looked at Ruan Meng's blurred face because he was too close, his eyes were slightly closed, and his long eyelashes trembled with tension, casting a shallow shadow like a crow's feather under the reflection of the sun.

His expression was so devout, so intoxicated, like a young girl in love who finally mustered up the courage to confess her love to the boy she had been secretly in love with for a long time.

Bai Ze asked himself, if Ruan Meng was a girl, would you push him away?of course not.As a gentleman, you must know how to be sympathetic.

Then if the other party is a girl, he won't push him away, so how can he push Ruan Meng away because he is a boy because of sex discrimination?

Yep, so go for strategy two - pretend to be nervous and wait for the kiss to be over.

It might be two seconds, or three seconds, in short, the time seems to be very short, before the short Bai Ze has time to organize his thoughts and facial expressions, the warm touch on his lips has disappeared.

Bai Ze didn't know that his eyes were full of infatuation at that time, so before Ruan Meng left completely, he kissed him lightly again.

The extremely bad premonition from before once again sounded the alarm in Bai Ze's heart.

Ruan Meng backed away slightly, staying in the state where their noses were almost touching.

The breath is intertwined, hot and lingering.

"Professor, I like you." Ruan Meng said.Gently, slowly.As if afraid of frightening a bird, it fluttered its wings and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

Bai Ze clearly heard the sound of something breaking, and the alarm bell that started ringing just now made his brain ache.

He always feels that everything is still under his control, so he is always deliberately ignoring the changes in his heart.It wasn't until this moment that Bai Ze really understood that if it can be controlled by reason, it is not emotion.

Fortunately, rationality can't control the feelings that are about to move, but it can still control its own reactions.

Bai Ze sat quietly with his eyes downcast for two seconds, pushed his glasses, turned back to face the desk, and said in a calm tone, "Student Ruan Meng, you are a good classmate with a bright future. Don't be affected by personal emotional problems." own future."

There are other people's futures.

The last sentence twitched on the tip of Bai Ze's tongue, and finally swallowed it back.He knew that this sentence was the most fatal sentence.But because of this, he couldn't speak.

Putting people by my side for a year, isn't it just for this moment?Isn't it just to take him up to the clouds and then kick him into the abyss?Why not kick?

Because the "public" condition has not been met.Bai Ze found a reason for himself.

Bai Ze tore off a piece of post-it note, scribbled down a person's name and phone number, and handed it along with the stack of manuscripts without turning his head. "The editor-in-chief of the "Historical Survey" magazine, you should contact the submission matter yourself."

Ruan Meng looked down, raised his hand and pressed it back to the table, "This is your research result, Professor, I just helped to collect historical evidence."

Oh, interesting.Bai Ze moved his gaze from the manuscript to Ruan Meng's face, with a hint of sneer in his eyes, "Bribe me?"

Ruan Meng felt that it was strange for Professor Bai to look at him from such a condescending perspective, so he half-kneeled on the ground on one knee.

Bai Ze sounded the alarm again, and now he was really not calm, "What are you doing?!"

Ruan Meng looked up at him, stared into Bai Ze's eyes without avoiding it, and said, "Actually, Professor, you like me too, right?"

It's not good!How could this divine beast be tempted by you mortal fools!You really think highly of yourself!Who gave you the confidence to say such things shamelessly!ah? !

Although tens of thousands of beasts roared and galloped through his heart, Bai Ze remained calm on his face.He raised his hand to hold the mirror frame again, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Oh? Where did you see that?"

Hurry up and come from the truth!I must change it every minute! ! !

"Otherwise, why do you treat me so well?" Ruan Meng looked at the stack of manuscripts meaningfully, "Not to mention anything else, as far as this subject is concerned, it shouldn't be my achievement." Ruan Meng looked at Bai Ze, "Actually, you have already researched it clearly, right?... At least, you have already had this conjecture, but you just don't have the energy to collect historical evidence. Right?"

Bai Ze smiled faintly, "Student Ruan Meng, you are too narrow-minded. I am just a meritocracy. If you are not in my position, you will not know how happy I am when I see a good student like you." He picked up the stack of manuscripts and handed it over, "Don't let me down."

"What's the matter, girl? It's rare to go out to drink with my brothers, and I'm not in a high mood. I've been digging history all day, are you stupid?" Zhang Jianjun picked up the wine bottle and poured himself wine, squinting at Ruan Meng, who was silently licking skewers beside him. .

Ruan Meng looked down at the mutton skewers in his hand, smiled helplessly with one corner of his mouth tilted, and lowered his head to eat the meat.

"Hey hey." Tao Ran on the opposite side also pointed at him with a bunch of fingers, "Why do you look like you've lost your love?"

"Breakdown?" Xu Ming, who was sitting on the other side of Ruan Meng, almost spit out his wine, and quickly tilted his head to look at Ruan Meng.

Ruan Meng chewed the torn meat, swallowed it, and said softly, "En."

Everyone else froze!

look at each other.

"When did it happen?"

"Just the girl you mentioned before that 'you can find it at a glance'?"

"How did you confess?"

"What did the girl say?"

"Tell your buddies not to hold it back. This pile of ready-made experience is waiting to be passed on to you."

The brothers talked in a hurry.

Under the repeated instigation of his roommates, Ruan Meng slumped and said, "Half a month ago. I said... I like you."

"And then?" The roommates scratched their heads, all eyes focused on Ruan Meng's face.

"He, he said... afraid of delaying my future."

Tao Ran looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "Oh, this reason is quite fresh."

"Why is it delaying your future?" Chen Kai asked.

"It's just... we are together... probably not likely to be recognized by the society...?" Ruan Meng hesitated, and immediately regretted after speaking—has he been exposed?

"Oh shit! All right, girl! I can't tell!" Xu Ming patted Ruan Meng's shoulder twice, laughing loudly.

Li Jia frowned, "Hey, do you look like a boss?"

Xu Ming showed an expression of "Oh, what a big deal", leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Come on, let me guess, is the teacher in the history department you like?"

"Ah?!" Ruan Meng was startled.

Seeing Ruan Meng's sudden change of expression, Xu Ming smiled even more wickedly, "Surnamed Bai?"

Ruan Meng opened his eyes wide in horror, and was about to deny it with all his strength, when Xu Ming rushed forward and said with a smile, "Bai Ye?"

"...Huh?" Ruan Meng blinked.

Bai Ye, lecturer of the sophomore general history course in the Department of History, gender, female, fair skin, beautiful and long legs, 27 years old, unmarried.It is rumored that he is the direct disciple of Professor Bai Xuan, and he has excellent grades during school, so he stayed in the school to teach after graduating from graduate school, and is still studying for a Ph.D. under Professor Bai Xuan's name.According to the school schedule, Ruan Meng sees this sister twice a week.But apart from the "private meeting" with Bai Ze, Ruan Meng's other time in and out of the teaching and research room is mostly to help the sister print materials, move books and so on.

How did it become the object of pursuit?

...But it's good that I didn't guess Bai Ze.

Xu Ming looked at Ruan Meng's reaction and said disappointedly, "No?"

"Of course not." Ruan Meng quickly denied.Even if he didn't want to direct the disaster to Bai Ze, he couldn't let this innocent sister take the blame.

"Who is that?" Chen Kai asked.

Ruan Meng began to regret talking about this topic, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Zhang Jianjun tore a piece of meat, chewed it and said, "It's like this-let's not care about who you like, just look at what they said, 'I'm afraid it will delay your future'. This I didn't reject you explicitly, and it sounds like it's for your own good. If she really didn't mean that, I don't think she would say that. Just say 'I'm afraid of delaying my own future' and it's over."

"Yeah." The others echoed.

Ruan Meng: "Well... I think so too..."

"Damn it! If you think so yourself, then you're so depressed here, just catch up!" Li Jia yelled.

At that time, he just felt that the girl he was chasing after in high school also liked him, and he would be able to catch up with him no matter how hard he worked, so he resolutely gave up a better university and came to L University to accompany her.But under the repeated rejection of the girl, Li Jia gave up.Later, at a hometown meeting, the girl told him that she was always worried because Li Jia's family was too poor.She was afraid that she would lose to the cruel reality, and she was afraid that she would not be able to fight against her parents on her own, so before facing these huge difficulties, she wanted to know how firm her only comrade-in-arms was towards her... But the result of the temptation is nothing more than that.

The girl said that maybe her approach was wrong, but if she missed it, she missed it.

Because of two years of missing, it was enough for her to meet a new relationship.

"My bloody lesson is here." Li Jia was a little excited.

"Old Zhang is right. Girls, most of them have different opinions. If you really like it, don't give up too early." Xu Ming said, "It's the 21st century, don't be bound by those pedantic feudal frameworks anymore. How can there be so many "not allowed in the world"? Isn't diversity popular now? Look at the Hong Kong drama we watched a lot, Sir's younger brother is gay, everyone thinks he is sick, and almost drives him to death. But I read the news that day, and it seems that the Netherlands has passed a law recognizing homosexuality. Homosexuality has been recognized, so what are you afraid of?"

Coincidentally, I am gay with a teacher-student relationship... Ruan Meng secretly sighed.

"Let go of chasing. She really doesn't like you, she will definitely reject you, and won't say such ambiguous words. If you really give up, you will regret it." Li Jia was very sad, and urged Ruan Meng to continue Chase.

"Brother, I tell you, among all the things that make people regret, the most difficult thing to ignore, and the one that is impossible to ignore in a lifetime, is that you once had opportunities, capital, and ability, but you didn't try it, and watched it with your own eyes. If you take the opportunity to slip away, you will never forgive yourself in your life." Chen Kai said.

Zhang Jianjun didn't speak, just took a sip of wine, raised his hand and patted Ruan Meng's shoulder.

"Professor..." Bai Ye came to Bai Ze's desk with a stack of final exam papers, and called out in a low voice.

"Huh?" Bai Ze replied lazily, and turned to look at the paper that Bai Ye was holding down—the handwriting was too familiar. "What's wrong?"

Since he is Bai Ze's disciple, it is natural for Bai Ye to do such small things as correcting the final papers. "Well... I don't think it's a good sentence..."

The test papers are all bound together with sealed names and student numbers. As soon as Bai Ze took them, Bai Ye hurriedly said, "Everything else has been corrected, and this one is missing. Professor, you decide."

Bai Ze scanned the test paper from beginning to end, picked up the red pen and wrote a big 61 in the score column.
