Ji Bei rode his bicycle all the way out of the school. Although the road was flat and easy, his heart was pounding.

"Ji, are you very tired?" Bai Yan asked softly.

Ji Bei shook his head and immediately straightened his back: "Not tired at all." Although he was young, he was very strong.

Bai Yan chuckled softly, tugging at his clothes as she chatted casually with him: "Ji, what did you think of my class today? I've helped professors teach classes for junior students before, but this is the first time for a college student."

Ji Bei said, "It's...very good. The students all like Teacher Bai very much and think you are very gentle and kind."

"And what about Ji?" she asked softly.

Ji Bei's throat felt like it had been suddenly lifted, his voice dry and hoarse with nervousness. "I...I also really like Teacher Bai."

Bai Yan could sense the stiffness in the boy's body and chuckled, "That's good. I was worried about a generation gap between me and you young people."

"How could that be!" Ji Bei immediately said, "Teacher Bai, you are very young."

She is young, gentle, beautiful, and knowledgeable.

Shen Cong said she is a PhD from University A, which is the epitome of academic excellence.

He was a poor student since childhood, and he was able to get into Peking University because he won a world award in an e-sports competition and was admitted without taking the entrance exam.

Will she dislike a student who is a poor student?

"I'm not young anymore," Bai Yan sighed softly. "It feels like so long ago that I went to university. I really envy you young people."

Ji Bei, however, did not think so, as if there was a great distance between them.

"Student Ji, can you do me a favor?" Bai Yan suddenly thought of something and asked.

Ji Bei immediately replied, "Sure!" Then, realizing something, he asked, "Teacher, what do you need my help with?"

"Although this class is an elective, it still affects your credits, and I'm worried that I haven't prepared enough. Could you help me create a group chat so that I can communicate with everyone?"

Ji Bei readily agreed, and by then they had already arrived outside the school.

Bai Yan held out her phone, smiling as she looked at Ji Bei: "Then, Ji Bei, let's exchange contact information."

"Okay." Ji Bei tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips.

After they passed each other, the car Bai Yan had called arrived. She waved to Ji Bei, turned around, and got into the car.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Bai Yan saw the silly boy grinning at his phone for a while before covering his face with his mask. She smiled and shook her head.

Ji Bei was secretly pleased for a while before getting back on his bicycle.

Ji Bei pedaled his bicycle very fast and soon returned to his dormitory.

I was just about to check her Moments when I unexpectedly found a bright red notification on my Moments.

She liked his post!

With a heart full of excitement, Ji Bei opened her WeChat Moments, only to find that she had liked her post about failing all her courses last semester!

!!

He was about to delete the post on his WeChat Moments, but seeing the like made him hesitate. Soon after, she sent him a message: "Do you have to retake your exams this semester?"

Oh no! My poor academic record has been exposed!

Ji Bei looked troubled and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I had a fever during the exam." Yes, he did have a fever.

Bai Yan chuckled and replied, "Don't be so nervous. Failing a course is no big deal. We're friends outside of school. You helped me out today, didn't you? If you need tutoring, you can come to my lab. I guarantee you'll pass these courses."

Ji Bei hesitated for a moment. Shen Cong said that everyone in their research lab was very busy. Would his visit disturb her?

Bai Yan replied, "I've been a bit busy lately. But how could I not help out when I meet someone I click with? I'm even thinking of asking you to give me a ride next time I go to B University. Will you agree?"

"promise!"

Ji Bei chuckled to himself as he looked at his phone, while Shen Cong, who had just finished a losing streak at the internet cafe, returned.

Seeing Ji Bei in the dormitory, Shen Cong stared wide-eyed, pointed at his nose, and started cursing: "You heartless bastard!"

"You promised to help me rank up, but I've looked all over the internet cafes for you and I can't find you!"

"And then, I saw you on the school wall!"

"Big Champion, who did you upload on your bike?" Shen Cong said sarcastically, "What happened to the promise that my girlfriend for life was a game? What happened to the promise that I was your sweetheart?"

Ji Bei was shocked: "When did I ever say such a thing?"

“Little Sweetie never said that, but did you say she wasn’t interested in girls except for games?” Shen Cong questioned.

Ji Bei tried to keep his expression normal and said naturally, "I ran into Teacher Bai while I was riding my bike. Her high heels broke, and the school gate is far away, so I just took her to get a taxi."

"Teacher Bai?" Shen Cong was taken aback. "I was wondering why those clothes looked so familiar?"

He clicked his tongue again and said, "If this class had been taught by Professor Bai before, I wouldn't have failed last semester, would I?"

Professor Bai's lectures are humorous and engaging, unlike Professor Lin, who always uses medical jargon. They're only taking an elective health course, not a major course, so how could they possibly understand it?

Ji Bei chatted with Shen Cong casually, but her eyes were also on her phone screen. She didn't reply to him anymore, and then looked at her Moments with some disappointment.

Teacher Bai's WeChat Moments is very clean; she only posted one post recently: "I met a new friend today, and I'm so happy thanks to him! (heart emoji)"

The accompanying photo showed her broken shoe heel.

Ji Bei looked at this post on WeChat Moments. Even someone who never liked posts would give it a thumbs up. After looking at the post for a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead: "High heels!"
