Bai Ye sat at his desk, his eyes fixed on the complex function problem in front of him. His pen kept scribbling on the draft paper, but no matter how hard he thought and tried to calculate, he could not find a breakthrough to solve the problem.
The draft paper was almost completely filled with dense calculations, but the answer was still nowhere in sight.
Just as Bai Ye was feeling utterly frustrated, Su Zhimeng, who had just woken up from her sleep, gently leaned close to him. Looking at the problem that had stumped Bai Ye, she softly said:
"To solve this problem, you need to analyze the conditions first, and then use this formula to derive the solution..."
As she spoke, she gestured with her finger over the question, patiently guiding Bai Ye's train of thought.
Listening to Su Zhimeng's clear and concise explanation, Bai Ye's originally chaotic thoughts gradually became clear.
I have to say, this question does look somewhat familiar; it seems like I did a similar question in high school.
However, when faced with it again, a sense of unfamiliarity surged up like a tide, as if they had never met before.
However, after Su Zhimeng's guidance, the knowledge points hidden deep in his memory seemed to be awakened and jumped out one after another, rekindling Bai Ye's hope for the question.
Sigh! I can only blame myself for wasting a whole year after entering university. I was either addicted to games or didn't focus on my studies at all.
Over time, the once healthy and active brain seems to gradually become sluggish, almost turning into a little pig brain that only knows how to eat and sleep!
Finally, with Su Zhimeng's help, Bai Ye successfully solved the function problem that had troubled him for so long.
He breathed a sigh of relief and then looked up at Su Zhimeng.
The senior student's beautiful face still held a trace of sleepiness, and her eyes were slightly drowsy, which made people feel a sense of pity for her.
How adorable! Bai Ye couldn't help but exclaim to herself.
At this moment, Su Zhimeng, though somewhat dazed, still exuded a unique charm that deeply attracted Bai Ye's gaze.
"Senior, why don't you go back to sleep for a while? After all, lack of sleep is bad for your health."
Bai Ye suggested with a concerned expression.
Compared to completing homework and learning knowledge, he is now more concerned about Su Zhimeng's physical health.
Hearing Bai Ye's words, Su Zhimeng gently rubbed her eyes, which were slightly red from sleep, and shook her head with a smile to indicate her refusal.
"No need, I've already slept enough."
Bai Ye said with a worried look, "Senior, you must not overwork yourself. Please don't let giving me questions affect your rest time. If that happens, I will feel really bad and guilty."
At this moment, Su Zhimeng slowly extended her slender, jade-like hand and gently placed it on Bai Ye's forehead. Like the warm spring sun, she revealed a sweet smile that was both captivating and gentle, and whispered:
"It's not that serious! Giving you questions is a great way for me to test myself. It helps me understand my knowledge level and areas for improvement. It's not a waste of my time at all, so you can rest assured!"
However, Bai Ye knew perfectly well that Su Zhimeng said those words simply to avoid putting any burden on his mind.
At that moment, Bai Ye felt a mix of emotions. She was deeply moved by her senior's care and concern, but also felt a strong sense of self-reproach for constantly troubling her.
After a moment's hesitation and struggle, Bai Ye finally made up her mind to end the study plan, unable to bear continuing with this trouble any longer: "Senior, how about..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Zhimeng quickly placed her delicate hand against Bai Ye's lips, her movements gentle yet firm, preventing Bai Ye from uttering the words he was about to say.
Bai Ye was immediately bewildered and confused, staring wide-eyed at Su Zhimeng in front of him, completely not understanding why she suddenly covered his mouth, and not knowing what she wanted to do.
Immediately afterwards, Su Zhimeng gently shook her beautiful little head, her eyes tender yet firm, signaling to Bai Ye not to speak yet, but simply to listen quietly to what she had to say.
Seeing her senior's insistence, Bai Ye had no choice but to nod helplessly, indicating that she agreed to follow her arrangements.
Su Zhimeng slowly released her grip, her gaze fixed intently on Bai Ye, her small lips slightly parted:
"Junior, I wonder if you still remember what happened the semester before last?" Her voice was soft and melodious, as if carrying a slight, imperceptible tremor.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye frowned slightly, lost in thought. After a moment, he seemed to realize something and hesitantly asked, "Could it be... that you're referring to your birthday, senior?"
Hearing Bai Ye's answer, Su Zhimeng nodded slightly in affirmation. Then, she took a deep breath and continued:
"I'm sure you're aware of my family's situation. It was only after that day that I truly realized that in this vast world, I had lost my home in the true sense of the word. From now on, the so-called 'home' for me is nothing more than a place where I can temporarily stop and rest."
As she spoke, Su Zhimeng's eyes gradually reddened, tears welling up, but she forced herself not to let them fall.
Bai Ye listened silently to Su Zhimeng's story, and a strong feeling of pity welled up in his heart.
He clenched his fists involuntarily. At this moment, Su Zhimeng in front of him appeared so weak and helpless, which made his heart ache.
In fact, Bai Ye had some understanding of Su Zhimeng's family situation.
The senior's parents divorced a long time ago, and since then she has lived with her mother. Her mother remarried and took her with her to her adoptive father at a young age.
However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. On her birthday, her father confessed to her that he was about to start a new family.
Although her father assured her that he would always love her and that his love for her would not change because of his new family.
But this undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Su Zhimeng.
