After the self-study class on Friday, the boys and girls in Class 1 of Grade 2, who had just finished their group rehearsal, began to move from the playground to the classroom. Lin Sitian passed by the atrium and saw a few students standing on the west side of the second floor of the office building, discussing something with the teacher. She noticed Zhou Sheng's figure with her sharp eyes and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

He seemed to be getting more and more handsome recently, and even his old-fashioned black-framed glasses gave him a hint of coolness and gentleness. He listened to the teacher with his face tilted to the side and his chin slightly raised, his expression calm and expressionless.

Maybe it was because her gaze was too intense, but Zhou Sheng actually turned around and looked over at her.

Their eyes met, Lin Sitian paused, then waved at him happily.

Even though they were at a distance, Lin Sitian saw Zhou Sheng smile.

"The sour smell of love." Yang Xuelin snorted coldly.

"You're jealous. You're jealous that I found such a great boyfriend like Zhou Sheng."

"No, I'm immune to this type. I still like athletic guys like Meng Qiaoyu." Yang Xuelin said as she walked. "But Zhou Sheng's popularity in our school has really increased a lot recently. You two are in a relationship but it's not public. You should be careful and don't let anyone snatch you away."

Lin Sitian didn't seem to have heard the last half of her words at all, "It must be all because of the nourishment of love..."

"Shit, no couple is innocent when the dog dies."

The two were chatting when Yuan Xiao brushed past Lin Sitian, who subconsciously took a half step back.

"What are you doing?" Yang Xuelin was puzzled.

“…Afraid of the teacher?”——mentality.

"You used to call me little teacher every day, and I never saw you restrain yourself."

Lin Sitian waved her hand, "How are they the same?"

"But I always feel that Yuan Xiao's eyes are looking at you a little strangely recently."

"Is there?" Lin Sitian looked at Yuan Xiao's back as he walked away, thoughtfully.

Early Saturday morning, the doorbell of Lin Sitian's house rang.

Lin Sitian opened the door happily. The young man stood tall with his back straight, holding a cake gift box in his hands.

She was no longer surprised and welcomed Zhou Sheng in with a smile.

"Is your grandma not here?" Zhou Sheng first took a quick look around the room and asked quietly.

Lin Sitian kept it a secret and asked, "Do you think she's here?"

This time Zhou Sheng's reaction seemed different from last time. He hesitated for a while and said, "All right."

Lin Sitian's smile widened. "Not here anymore. I prepare food for myself on weekends. She plays mahjong all day... The last time you came was the first time you delivered something to her house. What about this time? Why are you delivering something again?"

"I think if the elders are at home, you should at least bring some gifts."

"Then what about not being here?"

"Then I'll comfort my girlfriend." Zhou Sheng put the cake on the table. "If you're not eating it right away, it's best to put it in the refrigerator. I bought a low-fat mousse cake."

"It turns out that it's my turn only when grandma doesn't eat."

Zhou Sheng hurriedly explained: "No, there are only two of you in your family now, so if you want to eat, shouldn't you eat together? I bought it for you originally." - Otherwise, he would not have bought the cake.

The refrigerator door slammed shut, and Lin Sitian looked at him with a smile, "Why are you so easy to fool, you idiot."

It was Zhou Sheng who took the initiative to propose the visit this weekend, mainly to make up for the missed study progress this week and to help Lin Sitian with the dance moves. So before the business was completed, Lin Sitian knew that Zhou Sheng would not allow the two of them to indulge in love.

Therefore, Lin Sitian was extremely focused when doing the questions, and Zhou Sheng would never have thought that her seriousness at this moment was for indulgence in the next moment.

It was already afternoon when the homework and make-up projects were basically completed. After getting the last "√", Lin Sitian collapsed on the bed exhausted.

"My speed in solving problems has become faster recently." Lin Sitian stretched lazily, feeling a little smug.

Zhou Sheng's pen was still spinning. He glanced at her calmly and said, "Sit down."

Lin Sitian ignored him and turned around to look at him while holding the doll. "I've already finished and you won't let me relax for a while."

"You are wearing a short skirt." Zhou Sheng reminded.

She was dressed more casually today than last time because it was already past the beginning of summer and she was only wearing a pure cotton house dress.

"How about that?" Lin Sitian raised her foot and touched his back with her toes. "Last time I had to restrain myself because it was not justified. Today, he is my boyfriend, so I can't seduce him?"

Zhou Sheng shuddered as a tingling sensation came from his spine, and put his pen on the table. "You are teasing me now, are you going to do it again later?" He said it seriously, but he knew that if she continued to be so unruly, he would be the first to surrender.

——Yes, the picking action.

Zhou Sheng suggested coming to her house on Saturday to help her figure out what was wrong with her dance moves. Feeling humiliated from the past week, Lin Sitian quickly sat up and said, "Don't waste time, come on!"

"Have you prepared what I told you to do on Friday?" Zhou Sheng turned around.

Lin Sitian took out her phone, turned on the video and handed it to him, "I've recorded it."

It's a video of them practicing dancing.

Zhou Sheng didn't answer. "Just send me the video. If you want to dance, do you need to prepare?"

"Oh yeah – that one is here today!"

"?"

Lin Sitian walked out of the room mysteriously, "Wait for me for a moment."

Even if Lin Sitian didn't say it, Zhou Sheng had no other choice. He clicked on the video sent by Lin Sitian and watched the recorded video carefully.

The girls in the screen were as colorful and vibrant as the flowers in the mountains in spring, but there was only one person who attracted his attention from beginning to end. Zhou Sheng himself did not notice it. He was just staring at her dancing on the screen. His lips could no longer be suppressed and curled up, and the dullness of the afternoon was swept away.

He always thought that laughing when watching girls dancing was something that only people like his second brother could do.

"Se-no~" accompanied by a prepared Japanese voice, the love cycle BGM sounded in the room. Zhou Sheng, who had not yet reacted, looked up and saw two cat ears cautiously poking out from the door, and a pair of clear and shining eyes under the ears.

Zhou Sheng was suddenly stunned. Lin Sitian walked out of the door biting her lip and tapping to the beat.

She was wearing a black outfit with a white lining and a wide, puffy skirt. Although it was short, you couldn't see anything inside. She wore a pair of black and pink cat ears on her head and a small bell with a lace bow tied on one side. If she tilted her head slightly, the bell would make a faint, crisp sound.

After the prelude, the girl started to dance. Although dancing in front of Zhou Sheng made Lin Sitian blush, she didn't hesitate at all. The movements were not difficult, but more about stepping on various beats and dancing with the hands. There were many fragmented movements to remember, and more often there was a key element - expression.

The dance developed from the earliest ACGN culture often imitates the characters in animation and games, and also inherits their various quirky expressions. Yuan Xiao also emphasized this when teaching them. Lin Sitian usually has a lot of small expressions. She used to browse a lot of small broken stations. She even learned the expressions when dancing. Whether it is puffing up her cheeks to show anger or smiling with curved eyebrows, opening her mouth in surprise or pouting her mouth to show pity, the corners of her eyes, eyebrows and lips all have a passion that can infect people.

It makes people feel that "everything in the mountains and seas is romantic", and their lips will smile and their hearts will beat wildly with enthusiasm.

Zhou Sheng had never been exposed to these things before. This was his first time watching people dance at such a close distance.

At this moment, Zhou Sheng felt that the world he had known for the past seventeen years was too narrow. Some simple yet beautiful youth was clearly within his reach, waiting for him to discover.

After the dance was over, Lin Sitian smiled with her two dimples, and stopped in the final pose and waved to him.

Dancing requires a lot of physical exertion, and her cheeks became rosy and her chest rose and fell slightly.

Heart-beating.

It seemed as if all his time had been taken away by her. He was at a loss, with only his heart beating.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Zhou Sheng didn't know what others would think of him, but at this moment his face was flushed, and what was more noticeable than his red face was his uncontrollable smile. After only two or three seconds of staring at Lin Sitian, he let out a frustrated wail and buried his face in his right hand.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Sitian was a little anxious and asked nervously, "Is it really bad? Is it not okay?"

Zhou Sheng still buried his face in his palms, and said in a low, muffled voice: "Too bad..."

Lin Sitian lowered her lips - she didn't believe what others said, but when Zhou Sheng said this, she completely lost her confidence.

Zhou Sheng glanced at her from between his fingers.

——Sure enough, it’s really too bad.

"It's too cute." Zhou Sheng half tilted his head back, pulled her close to him, and whispered against her forehead, "...My heart can't take it."

Lin Sitian blushed.

This didn't sound like something Zhou Sheng would say at all, and he tried to tell himself rationally that this must be a consolation.

——Zhou Sheng is a big liar.

"So I actually have no problem dancing?"

Zhou Sheng nodded, sliding his fingertips on the video progress bar, "Whether I'm watching the video or watching you dance live just now, I don't think there's anything wrong."

"Then why am I always criticized? Or did I really have many problems in dancing before, which have been corrected?" Lin Sitian curled her lips in confusion.

"Did she say that about you on Friday, too?"

"Friday was a class training, she focused on the whole class and ignored me."

Zhou Sheng closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again he said, "Then there is only one explanation."

"She's targeting me." Lin Sitian said the answer to the suspicions she had had in her mind for a long time. She remembered that Yang Xuelin had mentioned that Yuan Xiao had been looking at her strangely recently. She also remembered that day when Yuan Xiao almost discovered her and Zhou Sheng's hug in the stairwell... Maybe she really saw it?

Lin Sitian's eyes were fixed on Zhou Sheng's face. Could it be that Yuan Xiao really liked Zhou Sheng?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Sheng tilted his head.

Sure enough, having a boyfriend who is too nice can be dangerous.

Even if Yuan Xiao really liked Zhou Sheng and took her out on him, Lin Sitian had no intention of saying it out loud. It wasn't because she was soft-hearted. Whether Yuan Xiao said it or not was her own business. But she didn't want Yuan Xiao to become special in Zhou Sheng's eyes. At least now, for Zhou Sheng, the world was divided into four categories: a sea of ​​questions, humans, relatives and Lin Sitian.

She was not a girl with any unique skills, and she did not have the confidence to hold on to Zhou Sheng. At least until she became better, she hoped that Zhou Sheng would only see her.

"No, then if she is targeting me, there is no point in picking any more moves."

"No," Zhou Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at the video in his hand, "There is another way. I usually do this when facing my father."

"?"

"If you do it impeccably, she will have nothing to say."

"Didn't you just say that I danced well?"

"There aren't any major problems, but if you really want to find the details, you can still find them."

"..." Lin Sitian was skeptical, "You've never learned to dance."

"Well, so the fundamental difference between humans and animals is that humans use tools to achieve their goals." Zhou Sheng took out his own mobile phone, turned on Lin Sitian's mobile phone, clicked on the video that had been sent to him before, and the video shot on Zhou Sheng's own mobile phone was obviously of her just now.

"When did you..." Lin Sitian was surprised.

"I took the photo when you started dancing, and I was planning to make a comparison—" Zhou Sheng slid the progress bar, "At 35 seconds, your hands were not straightened, at 1 minute 28 seconds, your feet missed a beat, and at 1 minute 59, your turning was too slow, and..."

Zhou Sheng counted the differences between the two videos one by one. The differences were even more obvious when the group training video and the individual straight shot were put together for simultaneous comparison. As he said, Lin Sitian danced really well, but there were still some minor flaws. However, this was not just her problem. Everyone had some minor problems to a greater or lesser extent. Even Yuan Xiao herself had some inconsistencies with the group.

Lin Sitian had never thought that Zhou Sheng could have this skill before, and he observed it very carefully.

This is probably how boys think. When you are complaining to him and seeking emotional resonance, what he is really thinking about is how to solve the problem.

"If you correct those minor flaws, she won't have the right to criticize you anymore." Zhou Sheng sat up straight, like a grader, "Start practicing, I'll help you."

Lin Sitian's shoulders slumped down.

Isn't this all because of you?

An hour later, Lin Sitian was so tired that she didn't want to move anymore. Even the cat ears on her head had drooped.

Zhou Sheng carefully reviewed the video comparison as if he was grading her paper, and finally concluded: "No problem."

Lin Sitian lay on the bed and didn't want to pay attention to him.

I just asked him to help check if there was anything wrong with my dancing, I didn't ask him to be a real devil coach!

"Sweet?"

Lin Sitian pressed her face against the bed, flattening it, and said lazily, "I want to eat cake."

Zhou Sheng understood and put down his phone, "I'll go cut it."

When Zhou Sheng came in with the cake, Lin Sitian was already yawning.

"Come and eat." Zhou Sheng put the cake on the table.

Lin Sitian crawled to the bedside like a maggot, finally grew hands, and sat up.

"I have used up all my strength to get here. It all depends on you from now on." Lin Sitian supported her shoulders and raised her chin towards him.

Zhou Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and scooped a spoonful of mousse cake into her mouth.

Lin Sitian took it in her mouth and chewed it twice, smacking her lips: "It's not too sweet, and it doesn't taste greasy at all."

"My mom loves this restaurant. I asked her and she said girls all like this blueberry mousse."

Lin Sitian was stunned. "You...you asked your mother? Didn't she ask you why you bought a cake for a girl?"

"I didn't ask. She taught me to bring gifts when visiting a house. Why would I ask?"

“…”Because I’m a girl, idiot!

The more Lin Sitian thought about it, the faster her heart beat. She always wondered if Zhou Sheng's mother had discovered something.
