This class is unavailable.
The sunlight shone in from the window and fell on the corner of Shi Guang's lips, which were slightly raised. At that moment, Lu Yu felt as if his heart was gently tickled by something, itching and numb.
He felt that the most amazing thing he had ever done in his life was not winning a championship or being admitted to Jiangcheng University.
Instead, it made this piece of ice that had not melted for thousands of years reveal a smile that even he himself was not aware of.
This thought made the pride and satisfaction in his heart almost overflow. He suppressed his laughter and simply folded the note carefully in half, then folded it again, and stuffed it into the pocket of his book as if it were a rare treasure.
Time was unaware of the rich inner thoughts of those around him. That smile appeared and faded just as quickly. He quickly calmed down and returned his attention to his textbook, but the slightly reddened ears still betrayed his uneasy heart.
However, their little movements, though covert, could not escape anyone's eyes.
Fatty Jiang, who was sitting diagonally behind them, took it all in. He wasn't paying any attention to what the professor was saying about the Dougong and the Angqiao. His entire attention was focused on the two guys in the front row who were oblivious to their surroundings.
He watched Lu Yu staring at Shi Guang's profile like a fool, watching them passing notes secretly.
Fat Jiang felt like he was about to suffocate.
He took out his cell phone and made a sad and angry accusation in the small group of three people in the dormitory who had no time for each other.
Fat Jiang: I can't continue this class for even a second! I'm asking to change seats! I don't want to sit here and watch the live broadcast!
Fat Jiang: You didn't see the look in Brother Lu's eyes. Tsk, tsk, so sticky you could pull a string! And the boss! The boss actually smiled at him! Smiled!
[Jiang Xiaopang: I'm almost dying of dog food! Brother Sun, where are you? Come out and give some advice! @Sun Rui]
A few seconds later, Sun Rui, who was attending a pricing model course in another building, saw his phone light up. He glanced at it and calmly replied in the group chat.
Sun Rui: According to social psychology, newly-formed couples will exhibit strong mutual attraction and exclusivity within 48 hours, which is normal. Also, you should focus on the mortise and tenon structure, not the hormonal structure, as this will be more beneficial for your final grade.
[Fat Jiang: …]
Just as Jiang Xiaopang was indignant and grief-stricken in the group chat, the door of the lecture hall was quietly pushed open, and counselor Zhou Sisi walked in. She did not disturb the old professor who was lecturing, but just stood in the last row, her eyes scanning the students.
Soon, her eyes fixed on the two figures sitting together in the middle of the classroom.
A knowing smile curled Zhou Sisi's lips. As a longtime fan of the #島光CP# online chat, she'd long been aware of the chemistry between the two students. After the welcome party last night, she'd been so excited she'd almost forgotten to write a summary report.
Seeing the two of them holding hands in class with her own eyes, she felt that the CP she was supporting finally had the most perfect after-sales service.
The old professor's lectures were a bit boring. Halfway through, he habitually stopped to let everyone have a short class discussion.
The classroom was instantly filled with buzzing discussions.
Lu Yu immediately seized the opportunity, turned sideways, and approached Shi Guang legitimately: "Did you understand the column reduction just now? Why do I feel like it's a heavenly book?"
"I understand a little." Shi Guang's voice was very low.
"Then tell me about it, boyfriend." Lu Yu used the title more and more smoothly, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone.
Shi Guang gave him a helpless look. He didn't explain directly. Instead, he picked up a pen and drew an extremely simple architectural cross-section diagram in the blank space of the book. A originally complex concept was clearly presented by him with a few lines.
His fingers are long and slender, and the way he holds the pen is very beautiful.
Lu Yu looked at the hand, and suddenly, as if possessed, he stretched out his own hand and placed it on the back of Shi Guang's hand that was drawing.
Shi Guang's body suddenly stiffened, and the tip of the pen drew an uncontrollable mark on the paper.
"You..." He raised his head, his eyes filled with obvious panic and confusion.
Lu Yu's palm was warm and dry, and he just wrapped it around his hand, without making any further moves or releasing it. He looked into Shi Guang's eyes and whispered in a serious tone, "Your hand is a little cold."
For some reason, Shi Guang's panic subsided under this clumsy expression of concern. He didn't struggle anymore, but simply let the man hold his hand. A numbing warmth began to spread from the back of his hand, spreading out little by little.
The short discussion ended, and the old professor resumed his lecture. Lu Yu reluctantly let go of his hand.
Shi Guang quickly withdrew his hand and hid it under the table, as if the burning warmth still lingered on it. He couldn't concentrate for the next half of the class, his mind filled with the warm touch.
Lu Yu felt that he had not held Shi Guang's hand long enough, so he used his little finger to gently hook the finger that was hanging by Shi Guang's side.
Shi Guang's body stiffened slightly, but he did not struggle.
As soon as the bell rang and the old professor left, Fat Jiang from the back row came up to him with a sad face.
"Brother Lu, Boss Shi Guang, you two have gone too far!" He complained through tears. "You're flirting and sneaking around right in front of a single person like me! Have you ever considered my feelings? My heart has shattered into a QR code; I can't even scan it!"
"What are you talking about?" Lu Yu was in a very good mood and gave him a punch with a smile. "This is called resource complementarity, do you understand? We are conducting an efficient study group activity."
"I don't believe you!" Fatty Jiang rolled his eyes. "Come on, come on, I have to kill you for lunch! It'll soothe my wounded heart! I want to eat the stir-fried beef from the second cafeteria!"
"No problem," Lu Yu agreed immediately, then turned around and said to Shi Guang, who was packing up, in a very natural tone, "Come on, your boyfriend will take you to eat something delicious."
Shi Guang paused while packing up his books.
The three words "boyfriend" came out of Lu Yu's mouth with a sense of self-righteous declaration, which made his cheeks start to feel hot again.
He didn't answer, which was considered as tacit consent.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the teaching building, they ran into Sun Rui, who had just finished class in another building, in the square downstairs.
Sun Rui was holding a thick book on "Econometrics". When he saw them, he just nodded calmly as a greeting.
"Brother Sun! You're finally here!" Fatty Jiang rushed forward as if he had found his group. "Come and take care of these two! They're completely lawless!"
Sun Rui pushed his glasses and his gaze stayed on the clasped hands of Lu Yu and Shi Guang for 0.5 seconds. Then he looked at the uncontrollable smile on Lu Yu's face, and finally turned to Shi Guang's slightly red ears.
"Data collection is complete," he said in his signature calm tone. "The conclusion is consistent with the online analysis. Fatty Jiang, your mood swings have exceeded the normal threshold. I recommend carbohydrate supplementation to alleviate the symptoms. Shall we go to the second cafeteria?"
"Go! We have to go!" Fatty Jiang was immediately distracted by the word "eat." "Brother Lu's treat! Stir-fried beef!"
Sun Rui nodded and looked at Lu Yu: "Congratulations. To celebrate, I suggest that you try to complete the modeling class this afternoon independently to test the positive impact of the new relationship on your personal abilities."
"..." Lu Yu's smile froze for a moment. "I think I still need Shi Guang to continue to provide me with one-on-one academic guidance."
The Second Canteen is the canteen with the largest flow of people in Jiangcheng University. At noon, which is the peak time for dining, the whole hall is bustling with people.
When Lu Yu and his group of four walked in, they caused quite a commotion.
The reason is simple. Lu Yu, who is walking in the front, is still holding Shi Guang's hand openly.
One was the newly crowned stage star at the welcome party, the other a cool, aloof academic who had long been at the top of the campus beauty rankings. The two of them appearing together in such an intimate gesture was as powerful as an asteroid hitting the Earth.
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? Lu Yu and Shi Guang... are holding hands?"
"So the speculations on the confession wall are all true? Are they really together?"
"Ahhh, our CP is real! I told you that look is definitely not simple!"
Various hushed discussions came from all directions like a tide.
Time subconsciously paused for a moment, and just as he was about to pull his hand back, Lu Yu held it tighter without leaving any trace.
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Yu said, his voice soft but just loud enough for him to hear clearly. "Let them see it. I wish the whole school knew."
He spoke frankly, as if he was declaring something that was self-evident.
Fat Jiang led the way, like a mobile Wi-Fi, automatically filtering out all unfriendly signals. He found a four-seater seat by the window and waved his hand, "Big Boss, please take a seat! Brother Lu, I'll take the seat, you take care of the feeding!"
"Got it." Lu Yu pushed Shi Guang into his seat and said to Sun Rui, "Brother Sun, please sit down first. Fatty and I will go buy you something to eat."
After saying that, he pulled Jiang Xiaopang and squeezed into the crowded queue for food.
Shi Guang sat there alone, and suddenly felt like a rare animal in a zoo. Countless eyes around him shone on him like searchlights, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Across from him, Sun Rui seemed much calmer. He pulled out his phone, opened a stock app, and calmly watched the red and green candlestick charts, seemingly unconcerned with his surroundings.
"You..." Shi Guang hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but speak, "...don't you think it's strange?"
Sun Rui looked away from the screen and pushed up his glasses. "From a sociological perspective, this is a normal stress response of a group to a disruption in conventional social relationships. From a financial perspective, this is called irrational fluctuations in market sentiment. For me personally, as long as it doesn't affect my return on investment, everything is considered reasonable."
Time: “…”
He felt that chatting with Sun Rui could sometimes have a strange cooling effect.
Soon, Lu Yu and Jiang Xiaopang came back with four piled-up plates.
