"Uh... well, I'll come back next class."

Wang Xuefeng reluctantly bowed as the get out of class ended.

Candy raised an eyebrow, finally realizing that things were not so simple.

I thought Wang Xuefeng was just showing off because he was powerful.

Surprisingly, she was willing to be "driven away" rather than comply with my request to take off her scarf.

There must be something hidden here!

Having experienced romance and pleasure before, Candy, after a slight pause, guessed the answer in his mind with a high degree of accuracy.

But being someone who always cared about his image, he would never take back what he said.

So, intentionally or unintentionally, he called out to Wang Xuefeng as he stepped down from the podium.

"These are my notes. Remember to return them to me next class."

"Huh?" Wang Xuefeng was taken aback for a moment, then took the notebook with both hands: "Thank you, mentor."

"You can go now. Your understanding of this lesson is deep enough." Condy waved his hand expressionlessly, as if nothing had happened, and methodically organized the content to be taught in the next stage.

Wang Xuefeng held the thick notebook, and after a moment, chuckled somewhat sheepishly.

The crowd couldn't help but whisper among themselves...

"Is your understanding deep enough?"

Hearing this, it's clear that Professor Kangdi was giving Fengyuan face after all!

"Are you leaving?" Wang Xuefeng asked as he passed by Xiao He.

“It’s you who understands it better, not me. Why should I leave?” Xiao He glanced at him sideways.

"Oh... then I'll be going now." Wang Xuefeng didn't dare to linger at all.

Jinling was stunned again as she watched the dejected figure slink away.

Taking advantage of the fact that Xiao He was temporarily alone, she rushed forward and stuck to that spot, keeping all the other people with similar ideas out.

"You? When did you arrive?" Xiao He asked in surprise.

“Just now,” Jinling said.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao He asked, puzzled. He had never thought Jin Ling was a student who liked listening to large lectures.

I've come to find you!

Upon hearing this, Xiao He revealed a "as expected" expression.

While Professor Kangdi was organizing materials, Jinling secretly leaned close to Xiao He's ear and said, "I... I just wanted to have a chat with you... I'm a little nervous."

"What's there to be nervous about?" Xiao He asked, puzzled.

"I...I..." Jinling blushed and leaned closer, "I..."

"???"

"Oh well, never mind... I'll talk to you after class..."

Jinling buried her face in her hands, looking genuinely nervous.

-

At noon, the school bell rang.

Unusually, Xiao He did not drive, but instead accompanied Jinling on a stroll along the path leading to the canteen.

This was at Jinling's request, saying that there were too many people on the main campus road and it was inconvenient to whisper.

"Speak up, speak up, stop stammering," Xiao He said helplessly.

Jinling bit her lip, took seven or eight deep breaths, closed her eyes, and finally blurted out, "This is my first time dating... I don't know how... I'm so nervous... I don't know what to do..."

Xiao He frowned: "Then it's no use telling me."

"How could it be useless?" Jinling asked, puzzled. "Aren't you and Xuefeng on good terms? I want to ask how you usually treat him? Also, do you two ever argue?"

Xiao He twitched the corner of his mouth: "Is it good? You two argue all the time."

"No, not that kind of arguing, but that kind of, that kind of..." Jinling didn't know how to describe it: "That kind of arguing where you can't understand his thoughts, and he doesn't understand you either... is that it?"

"Don't you understand?"

Xiao He stroked his chin and after a long while said, "I can't think of anything right now either."

"So that means there's basically none left?" Jinling's eyes widened.

Xiao He thought about it carefully again before nodding firmly: "I think so."

"Yes! That's it!" Jinling suddenly grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently: "How did you do that?!"

"What do you mean, 'how'?" Xiao He looked bewildered. "I didn't do anything!"

Hearing him say that, Jinling was even more bewildered than he was.

"How could that be? Does everything he does just happen to suit your wishes?"

"At least it's not bad."

"Aren't you angry that he's seeing other girls?"

"That's his own business, why should I care?"

"..."

Jinling watched him silently.

"You really do... let them roam free?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao He felt as if a new world had opened up for him.

"Free-range? You can use that term like that?"

“That’s right…” Jinling walked along, her mind preoccupied as she scraped the grass with the soles of her shoes.

Seeing her depressed look, Xiao He couldn't help but recall Jia Bo's background and work. Indeed, there would be many social engagements and events, so there would naturally be many opportunities to come into contact with women.

"Is this what's bothering you?" Xiao He raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jinling sighed and shook her head, "I don't know either... that's why I came to find you..."

Seeing this, Xiao He shook his head and sighed. After a long while, he said, "I am not a love guru. If you insist on giving me advice, I can only say to take it easy and let things take their course."

"Let it be?"

"Um."

Jinling remained silent for a long time before letting out a long breath, seemingly putting her worries aside for the time being.

"Hey, Xuefeng, want to have dinner together?"

"I don't know, he just said he was going to the shooting range."

"Should we go find him?"

"Need not."

Jin Ling was taken aback: "Don't you guys eat together?"

"If we happen to be able to meet up, we'll eat together; if not, we'll each eat separately."

"oh oh."
