"Hey, I'm going to have dinner with fellow villagers. I have to leave at 07:30. Please help me take the books back to the dormitory." In the first elective class of the sophomore semester, I just entered the classroom and found a place to sit down. The class bell didn't ring, and Zhang Qing, who was sitting beside him, already wanted to leave.

Xu Nuo casually opened the "Medical Ethics" on the table, and asked casually, "Aren't you afraid that the teacher will make mistakes in the first class?"

"No." Zhang Qing shook his head, tapped on the table with the signature pen in his hand, raised his head and squinted his eyes, and answered confidently: "I have inquired about this subject before I choose this subject. The teacher of our elective course in medical ethics is a kind person The little old man in the classroom is humorous and funny in class. The point is, he never rolls his name, and he still takes an open-book exam after the class is over. So you see, this class has not started yet, and there are only two rows in the front row and the two of us in this lecture theater So, I will go to the toilet for a while and pretend to go to the toilet, and the teacher probably won’t find anything. Even if they find out, people probably won’t check, after all, there are so many people.”

"That's fine." Xu Nuo had no choice but to nod in response.

It wasn't until the teacher entered the classroom that the conversation quieted down, and Zhang Qing glanced behind him boredly, before pursing his lips and saying, "No way?"

"What?" Xu Nuo heard her voice, turned sideways, and looked in the direction she was looking, and saw a tall, curly-haired young woman in fashionable clothes, step by step, naturally picking up the steps and going straight to the direction of the podium go.

The classroom was quiet for a moment, and after a few seconds, whispering began again. The small conversation in the auditorium filled with hundreds of people was enough to make the whole classroom noisy.Xu Nuo turned around, glanced at Zhang Qing with a smile that was not a smile, and raised his eyebrows on purpose and asked maliciously: "So the little old man in your eyes is a beautiful woman with wavy hair, thin makeup, and smooth walks." oh?"

Zhang Qing opened his mouth, followed the teacher to the podium, stared awkwardly at Xu Nuo, saw the playful expression on her clear face, and waved his hands: "Get up, my information should not be wrong. Yes, there must be a reason."

Xu Nuo shrugged, noncommittal.The phone in her pocket buzzed and vibrated, she lowered her head, took out the phone and slid it away, looked at the text message from Zhou Qingming on the screen, and smiled.

"Zhou Qingming's information?" Zhang Qing poked his head over, pretending to look at her phone screen, grinning: "By the way, you two have been together for so long, why is Zhou Qingming still so tired?"

For Zhang Qing, Xu Nuo never shied away from anything. During the whole freshman year, she got along with Zhang Qing who happened to be in the same major as her and in the same dormitory. Not to mention that she doesn't think there is anything invisible about her and Zhou Qingming's affairs, just to say that even if Zhang Qing really made a probe movement, she also understands that it is just a joke, and she will not really spy on it. own privacy.Although Xu Nuo didn't say much to her, he treated her sincerely and regarded her as a rare friend.

"She's back in Chengdu, and she'll probably come over later." Putting away her phone, Xu Nuo looked up at the podium.

"Didn't you say you'll be back tomorrow?"

"Well. I guess it's over early. It's still on the airport expressway." Xu Nuo nodded, his eyes fell on the slide, he looked at the self-introduction on the screen, and saw the teacher who was beyond Zhang Qing's expectation in the column of the name just now. Name: Yu Zan.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's going to be dark soon, and I'm in a hurry to see you before I get off the plane and go to my school. I said that you are shriveled, how can you compare with Zhou Qingming? Look at you every day. Shirt and jeans, just a face is a little more attractive, but you are not so afraid of being snatched away, right? I will run to you when I have a little time, to be honest, you~"

Deliberately paused his voice, Zhang Qing grinned, smirked and glanced ambiguously at Xu Nuo's long, white fingers on the table: "Do you have any extraordinary skills in some aspects? At the end of last semester, I saw her pick you up, but I felt more and more that the girl's face and figure were too delicate. Can there be no large group of men and women chasing you in their school? But why does she like you so much? Every time I look at your eyes, I can't wait to squeeze out the water softly."

Xu Nuo didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Qing's words at first, until she found that Zhang Qing had been staring at her hand, she suddenly understood what she meant, and suddenly felt a little burning in her ears, so she gave Zhang Qing a look: " Don't talk nonsense."

"All right, I'm talking nonsense, then tell me, your little Qingming has promised to introduce me to a girlfriend since freshman year, why hasn't there been any sign yet. Let's be kind, right? You can't be an emperor and eat meat. You don't even give me bones, do you? If you betray your name, you can't turn around and give it to Zhou Qingming, you have to ask for me."

Xu Nuo was so entangled by her that he let out a sigh of relief, turned around and glared at her again, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Just like you tie firecrackers on your tongue and let off endless firecrackers every day, who will be your girlfriend?" I can be annoyed to death by you, you are a Tang monk."

"Hey. You're too much." After being told by Xu Nuo, Zhang Qing was not angry, and made a big gesture of bowing to Xu Nuo, blinking and smiling: "We have agreed, After a while, this section is over and I'm leaving between classes. I will return late at night, and I don't think I'll see Xiao Qingming. When you see her, you have to rest assured about my affairs. There are little sisters, and we won't suffer if we get to know each other. Ah, I'm not a bad person either."

"You look like a nice guy when you're not talking."

The class bell rang, and the teacher on the podium picked up the microphone, the surrounding voices were quieted down, and it slowly quieted down. It seems that the arrival of this young female teacher was really an accident like what Xiao Z said. Everyone looked at her and waited. Then she explained why the funny little old man she promised didn't come, and a dignified female college student came instead.

The teacher simply explained that she is a direct student of the little old man teacher, and the master is busy temporarily, so she will temporarily lead the class for this elective course.

After listening to the teacher's explanation, Xu Nuo couldn't help but look up at the people on the podium. They looked very young, probably only 24-5. Unexpectedly, she had already received a Ph.D., and the course she chose was Hospital ethics, which means that this senior is studying medicine. This youthful and beautiful appearance is not only in line with the image of an ordinary female doctor, but also completely incompatible with the unkempt appearance of a medical student that Xu Nuo thinks is caused by heavy studies. incompatible.

After hearing her explanation, the other students also sighed. It is true that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this school, and no one should underestimate them.

Xu Nuo didn't have the slightest foundation in medicine, and moreover, ethics mostly consisted of text lectures. At the end of a class, Xu Nuo felt a little boring. Going to ask the teacher a question, adding a QQ by the way, the not too bright light from the slides fell into her eyes, she blinked, a little sleepy.

"I'm leaving, remember to take my book back." Zhang Qing stood up with his bag on his back, and whispered in Xu Nuo's ear.

Xu Nuo waved her hand and said nothing, she yawned, her eyes were a little sore, she had little rest recently, and the sophomore class made her a little out of breath, but if she didn't persevere this year, the junior and senior year In four or two years, she will become mediocre.She is going abroad, and there are not many places to study abroad in the department. The instructor is very optimistic about her, but she still dare not take it lightly.Xiao Z is more like a comrade-in-arms with her here, and the two have a common goal of studying in France, which is another reason why they have many common topics.

She hasn't told anyone about this matter yet. This is a decision she has made since her freshman year. She has been working hard for it silently, but she hasn't told anyone. On the side of her parents, she is the one who doesn't talk much, but For Zhou Qingming, at the beginning, although she tried her best to play a good girlfriend for this relationship, she couldn't really enter the role and didn't know what position she should stand in to discuss the future with her. Now, It's because Zhou Qingming is very talented in the piano field, and she is deeply liked by her teacher. She always flies around the country and even the world with her teacher, to participate in some performances or gain knowledge with the teacher, and they are still young. The future plans are too far away, and she is afraid that if she mentions them, it will affect the decisions that Zhou Qingming may meet.This delay lasted for more than a year, and the more time passed, the less she knew how to speak.

Xu Nuo squinted her eyes and fell asleep in a daze during the 10-minute break between classes. She raised her head and rubbed her eyes when she heard the sound of a microphone in her ear. textbook, she turned her head sideways, and her eyes fell on the people around her, but she saw Zhou Qingming's somewhat blurred face.She thought she had read it wrong, blinked, and when she opened it again, she saw Zhou Qingming's gentle and clear smiling face. She lost her mind for a moment, then took out her phone and glanced at the clean screen, then looked up awkwardly Ask: "Why did it arrive so soon?"

Zhou Qingming blinked at her, pursed her lips and smiled brightly, stretched out her hand to take her left hand on the table, and replied without any affectation: "I miss you, so please drive faster, master. "

Xu Nuo lowered his eyebrows, glanced at the suitcase under Zhou Qingming's seat, and then looked up at her face, which still had the slightly darker makeup from the show, feeling sour for a moment, bit her lip, and said nothing.

"What's the matter?" Seeing her sad expression, Zhou Qingming tilted her head and asked softly, "Don't you miss me? But I miss you so much. I haven't seen you for two weeks. Most of the performances are at night. You are busy studying, and I dare not call you when I am finished..."

Xu Nuo shook his head, held Zhou Qingming's slender fingers with his backhand, and gently slid his fingertips over the thin cocoon shell on her fingertips, and asked with a smile, "Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, I can see you, so I'm not tired at all." Zhou Qingming just finished speaking, and couldn't help but covered his mouth and yawned.

Xu Nuo looked into her bright eyes, patted her hand with a helpless smile, and pointed to the table: "Lie down and rest, it's over in an hour."

"Yeah." Zhou Qingming nodded obediently. It was probably because the two weeks of running around had exhausted her to the extreme. She didn't say much, but just grabbed Xu Nuo's hand and put it on her lap, and soon fell asleep. past.

For Xu Nuo, at the end of the elective course, which was a bit soft and boring, the senior teacher with a special name and a pretty face suddenly made a decision that everyone didn't expect, calling roll call.

As soon as she heard her talk, Xu Nuo's sleepy mind suddenly recovered, and he stared at the direction of the podium with wide eyes.

I saw that Teacher Yu slowly flipping through the roster of electives, looking down at the names line by line, everyone fell silent, holding their breath as if waiting for a late execution.

"Zhang Qing."

When Teacher Yu's clear voice came from the stereo in the aisle, Xu Nuo felt that her ears were lifted from her head for a moment. After hesitating for a second, she bit the bullet and raised her head to look at the podium and answered. :"exist."

Yu Zan glanced in her direction with meaningful eyes, when Xu Nuo thought she saw something, she turned her head and called another person's name.

Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, put his books and Xiao Z's books into the backpack and got ready to leave get out of class.

After the roll call lasted for about 1 minute, Yu Zan's voice raised Xu Nuo's ears again. That promise made her almost faint on the spot. How could it be such a coincidence?

Just when Xu Nuo was hesitating and not knowing what to do, Yu Zan knocked on the microphone to remind everyone to keep quiet, and said again: "French department, Xu Nuo, are you there?"

Xu Nuo grabbed her fingers and lowered her head, trying to force herself to pretend that she was not there, but she felt a little depressed in her heart. She was going to take the blame for skipping class for Zhang Qing.

"Promise, the promise of the French department, isn't there?"

Yu Zan's voice fell again, and Zhou Qingming woke up from a deep sleep. She raised her head, glanced at the teacher in front of the podium suspiciously, and turned her head to promise to use a voice that was not too loud but enough for most people to hear clearly. Asked: "The teacher is calling you...why don't you answer?"

After finishing speaking, he raised Xu Nuo's hand in a daze and looked at Yu Zan and said, "Teacher, Xu Nuo is here."

Xu Nuo was forced to raise her hand, wishing she could dig a hole and bury herself. When she got nervous, she forgot that Zhou Qingming could replace Little Z in the roll call. Leaving a particularly poor image will affect the credits.

The classmates in class were stunned for a moment when they heard Zhou Qingming's words, and then turned their heads to look at them and laughed.

Yu Zan patted the microphone, turned his head, his gaze first fell on Zhou Qingming, and then turned to Xu Nuo, who was blushing to the base of his ears, staring at Xu Nuo with eyes that seemed casual but always carried some meaning, Question: "So, may I ask, this student, are you Xu Nuo or Zhang Qing?"

"...I'm sorry, teacher, I'm Xu Nuo." Xu Nuo stood up, glanced at Yu Zan quickly, and then lowered his head. This scene was simply too embarrassing.

After class, Xu Nuo originally planned to do it like this, and went back to tell Zhang Qing that she was called, but Zhou Qingming, who came back to his senses, dragged her and chased her from the first row of the classroom to the outside of the teaching building to stop Yu Zan. Lu, beg her forgiveness.

Unexpectedly, after Zhou Qingming talked pitifully for a long time, Yu Zan just raised his eyebrows, and asked her with a calm expression that did not match her age: "I'm afraid you are not a student of our school."

"I..." Zhou Qingming was at a loss for words for a moment, and he held his breath and stopped talking.

Xu Nuo squeezed Zhou Qingming's hand, took a deep breath, and faced Yu Zan. For some reason, from the beginning of the roll call, she always felt that the person in front of her looked at her strangely, which made her feel a little helpless. The feeling of being targeted, but I have never met her before, and I have never confronted anyone, how could I offend her?

"Miss Yu, I'm sorry, what happened today is my fault, if you want to record it, please remember my name."

After hearing what Yu Zan said, he looked sideways at Xu Nuo, glanced at her with a look that didn't fit his teacher status, and sneered: "I don't know, you are quite loyal."

"..." Yu Zan's words made Xu Nuo even more confused, and she looked at her suspiciously: "I promise to answer for her."

"Huh," Yu Zan snorted softly, raised his hand to brush his long hair, looked at Xu Nuo with the same meaningful eyes as in the classroom just now, and said calmly: "Go back, don't worry, I Won't remember any of your names. Just bored, trying to make sure of something."

"..."

"Thank you, teacher!" Xu Nuo didn't understand what was going on, and when she was puzzled, Zhou Qingming had already reacted one step ahead of her, and pulled her to bow to Yu Zan to thank him: "Sure enough, you are so young and beautiful, and you are so young and beautiful. Those old naughty people who insist on roll call... Oh, teacher, it's different!"

Yu Zan raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.When he turned to leave, he glanced at Xu Nuo and Zhou Qingming's hand, and sighed.

Xu Nuo stood on the spot and watched her back slowly being swallowed by the crowd. She had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. She couldn't explain why. She always felt that this Teacher Yu was very different from Yan Ruyi in some aspects. picture...
