Chapter 10 Finding Faults

Qiu Tingxu raised his chin towards the team in front of him and asked him, "Guess which team you are standing in?"

The boy glanced at the dozen or so boys in front of him, then looked at the group of nearly twenty girls next to him.

Suddenly I realized: "I know, this is the boys' team. Yes, then your girlfriend is standing in the wrong place!"

Qiu Tingxu was amused by him, "Brother, was it purely luck that you were able to get into this school? It seems like you can't think straight."

This is not a small issue, it is about dignity, so the boy said angrily with a stern face: "I am not saying anything bad about you, but in just one minute, you have already personally attacked me twice. Are you polite?"

Qiu Tingxu spread his hands and said innocently: "Then is it polite for you to say that a boy is my girlfriend?"

The boy's jaw dropped to the ground: "Wha...what? He's a boy? Then why is his hair so long? And he's prettier than the girls!"

Qiu Tingxu glanced at Xu Yansheng. This man didn't respond to their conversation at all. He just kept looking down, as quiet as an exquisite doll in a display window.

He sighed softly, "Who says it's not true? Maybe it's God's preference for him. Besides, no one says boys can't be prettier than girls."

The girls' team had also gathered. The class assistant spoke at the front of the two teams, and her loud voice spread from the front to the back of the team.

It sounded strange yet clear as Xu Yansheng's earphones were not connected to the Bluetooth of his mobile phone.

He thought boredly that it was not the first time he was mistaken for a girl, and it would not be the last.

I've gotten used to it and never argue.

But this person has already explained it to him twice today, so why bother?

They were obviously not familiar with each other. Whether it was him and him, or him and others, they could only be considered strangers.

At best they can only be considered classmates in the future. Their misunderstanding will not have any impact on him. He will know everything when he needs to know it.

preference? No, this person doesn’t understand at all. There is no existence that would favor him, Xu Yansheng.

His name is Xu Yansheng, but he can only be a mute, how ironic.

***

On September 2, the school arranged for senior national defense students to give them military training.

They are only a few years older than the freshmen, but they are all extremely strict.

While they were having military training, Qiu Tingxu entered the dormitory carrying a medium-sized suitcase.

Dormitory number 603, sixth floor, Building 5, Nanyuan, right at the edge.

These floors were probably filled with freshmen, all of whom were out receiving ruthless training from the defense seniors, so the whole environment seemed exceptionally quiet.

It was so quiet that Qiu Tingxu was a little uncomfortable. After all, he had been moving among the students all the way here, and the noise was chaotic.

Before he came, there was only one person occupying this luxurious single room in the dormitory.

With his arrival, the space can be said to have been reduced by half. I wonder what expression my roommate will have when he comes back.

The dormitory is quite large, with a total of four beds, all with a bed above and a desk below.

There are two beds on each side of the door. At the left end is the bathroom, and at the right end is a sink that is large enough for two people to use at the same time.

There is a balcony between the bathroom and the sink. Although it is enclosed, the sunlight from the front window can shine directly in.

The only roommate occupied the first bed on the left. Qiu Tingxu evaluated for a few seconds and chose the bed closest to the sink.

There is a partition wall between the sink and the bed, so the water won't splash onto his side.

The humidity may still be quite heavy, but this can be solved by hanging a few absorbent bags.

He didn't want to go near the toilet or turn off the lights all day.

The light switch in the dormitory is right on the wall to the right after entering the door. Someone lying on the bed can turn it off by just reaching out.

But Qiu Tingxu, who had already studied in college for a year, didn't want to experience being yelled at by this person or yelled at by that person.

At night, unless you were the one who came in, the other three roommates would act as if they had no hands and would not turn off the lights on their own.

Of course, this was also because they had a very harmonious relationship. It was just a matter of extending a hand, so Qiu Tingxu didn't care much.

However, I didn’t know before that the world is so dangerous. If you want me to come again, I’m sorry, but I’ll decline.

He decided to give this lofty position to Xu Yansheng.

Hahaha, but Xu Yansheng might just ignore him and the other roommate. That’s good, so that there will be no lazy people in the dormitory.

He tried to move his wrist, but his left hand still had no strength. He was worried that forcing it would cause sequelae, so he wiped the bed with a wet rag with one hand.

Fortunately, the stairs between the two beds are designed in a user-friendly way. They have an inclined angle and are made of wooden planks, instead of going down vertically. Otherwise, it would be difficult to climb up with one hand.

After a whole hour, I finally cleaned my area, made the bed, and the suitcase was empty.

He stretched his body, washed the rag and hung it on the anti-theft net.

He muttered to himself, "It's so sunny, I should go to the playground with my iced Coke, and then buy some daily necessities."

"I heard that the military training will last until the National Day holiday. After another ten days or half a month, my hand will be almost healed. I will squat beside the square formation holding a watermelon and a spoon to eat it."

"Tsk, it's so exciting just thinking about it!"

He took all the bamboo shoots on the mountain.

…

Considering that he felt a bit hot wearing a sweatshirt yesterday, Qiu Tingxu specially found a loose and breathable long-sleeved shirt today. It has a lot of buttons, but it can be handled with one hand.

The weather in September is not cool enough, especially during the military training time. The sun seems to want to bake the freshmen to a crisp, emitting light and heat without any reservation.

There are very few people wearing long sleeves like Qiu Tingxu.

He walked on the road while rolling up the sleeve of his right hand and ignoring his left hand.

The last sleeve was hanging down and the other sleeve was rolled up, which looked weird and attracted the attention of many passers-by.

[These days, there are all kinds of trends...]

[Frog Fun, is this person really hot or really cold? 】

[Turtle, this brother is so handsome. Together with that tall beauty just now, they are the ceiling of appearance in Nan'an University! 】

[But do we have these two types of people in our school? Aren’t all the freshmen going to training? 】

…

Qiu Tingxu pricked up his ears and quietly approached the passerby who was walking towards him.

"Hey, senior, I'm a freshman, my phone ran out of battery, and I accidentally got separated from my friends. I wanted to ask if you've ever seen a very tall, very long-haired, very beautiful girl..."

Very beautiful, regardless of gender.

The senior student was excited: "Ah, I've seen her! Is the girl you are talking about 1.8 meters tall, with long black hair and neutral clothing?"

Qiu Tingxu nodded repeatedly.

The senior student said enthusiastically, “I saw him in Maple Grove, but I don’t know if he’s still there.”

Qiu Tingxu: "Then I will go find my friend first, thank you, senior!"

It seems that this mind-reading ability is still very useful at critical moments. I can hear Xu Yansheng's news just by walking on the street.

Two-thirds of the credit for this wave went to Xu Yansheng’s looks and his ability to read minds.

The remaining one third can be given to the senior. Although there is no reward, the intention is clear.

Qiu Tingxu walked towards the maple forest carrying a bottle of ice cola and a bottle of mineral water. When he crossed the Nanyuan playground, he seemed to have forgotten to stimulate the freshmen.

Nothing is more important than finding Xu Yansheng, nothing is more important than gaining peace of mind.

He stood behind the bench again and did not move forward immediately.

Xu Yansheng was here, still sitting on the bench with an open book on his lap.

The difference was that this time he was surrounded by several senior boys.

Qiu Tingxu couldn't hear what they were thinking, but sometimes, what some people said might not be clearer than what they thought in their hearts.

"Beauty, which college are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"Give me a favor and add me on WeChat?"

"I said, you've been sitting here for a long time. Who would sit here and read a book for no reason? Don't you just want us to notice you?"

"Hey, you didn't even look at us, do you look down on us?"

"Fuck, she really doesn't pay attention to us. Could she be asleep? Not sure, let me take a look."

A boy bent down to look at Xu Yansheng's drooping face and met a pair of half-closed eyes with no emotion at all.

It's too heavy, like a beautiful but inorganic glass bead, and a little creepy if you look closely.

The boy didn't dare to look at her for a long time, but when his eyes moved, he saw something that girls shouldn't have.

"I...I...Fuck, this is a man! Who said he was here to pick up beautiful women? Are you all blind?"

Qiu Tingxu leaned against a maple tree and raised his eyebrows, but did not go up immediately and continued to watch the show.

"What the hell? Can this be a man? Can a man be so beautiful? Can a man have such long hair?"

"Fuck, this guy is not a sissy, is he? He is a man, I can see his Adam's apple, and don't you think his chest is too flat?"

"What bad luck! I thought our school finally had a new beauty, but she turned out to be a sissy!"

"And he didn't say a word for a long time. Could he be mute?"

Xu Yansheng still didn't make any movement, as if they didn't exist.

Qiu Tingxu could hardly bear it any longer. He shook his shoulders, stood up straight, and prepared to go over and chase away the annoying flies.

But one of the boys, who looked good but a little greasy, started to take action. He felt that he had lost face this time and wanted to push Xu Yansheng, who was sitting on the chair, to teach him a lesson.

"Hey, say something! Are you dumb? No way, a dumb person won't be able to get into our school."

Before he could touch the person, Xu Yansheng slapped his arm away with such force that the person was spun half a circle.

Qiu Tingxu paused, curled his lips a little bit, and continued walking towards the bench.
