Chapter 60 (Second Update)
In the afternoon, Luo Yan met Zhou Xiuhe as soon as she arrived at school.
She nodded nonchalantly to indicate that she had greeted them, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief as she passed by, pretending not to know them. But she was surprised: people from different majors also have so many opportunities to meet. Did we miss each other a lot last semester?
Zhou Xiuhe was also thinking about this, and that night he went to the dormitory of Luo Yan's classmates to inquire: "Let me take a look at your class schedule."
Everyone lives on the same floor, so we see each other all the time. Someone asked him, "What's the use of looking at this?"
Zhou Xiuhe found an excuse: "Check which day your class's physics class is scheduled for. I'd like to audit the class."
It sounded reasonable enough that no one suspected anything, except that he actually started copying it, and they asked, "Why are you copying it?"
Zhou Xiu gave a vague and perfunctory answer, then went back to his dormitory to compare it with his own. The next day, after having breakfast in the cafeteria, he couldn't wait to go to the teaching building.
Luo Yan was unaware of the elaborate arrangements made by the other party. She only knew that she saw him as soon as she went upstairs. Looking around, she saw that there weren't many people around. As she passed by, she said, "Good morning."
Zhou Xiuhe: "Good morning."
He lowered his voice again: "We also have class in the classroom next door this afternoon."
Luo Yan glanced at him thoughtfully, then flashed a big smile and went into the classroom.
In fact, although the school is strictly guarding against such behavior, it does not prohibit normal interactions between students. There is no problem with greeting each other like this. It's just that they feel guilty.
Perhaps it was because school had started that Luo Yan belatedly realized that dating was against the rules.
She didn't treat school rules and regulations as gospel, but she was worried that it would affect her future job assignment, so she hesitated about Zhou Xiuhe.
Zhou Xiuhe was unaware that he had been placed in the "pending" group and was in a great mood while sitting in the classroom.
The other roommates came to class after breakfast and asked in surprise, "You didn't have anything to do, so how come you just disappeared after turning around?"
Zhou Xiuhe said in a serious tone, "I'm in a hurry to preview the material."
Everyone knows he has always had a good attitude towards learning, so even though they were suspicious, they didn't ask any more questions and just talked about other things.
Zhou Xiuhe responded half-heartedly, listened attentively when the class bell rang, and strolled in the corridor when the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.
The classrooms for this lesson were right next to each other. When Luo Yan stood up to stretch, she saw him, gave him a faint smile, and quickly composed herself.
Zhou Xiuhe didn't dare to stare at her for too long, but he couldn't take his eyes off her out of the corner of his eye.
Perhaps because there were too many people around, or perhaps because she was thinking about doing something "secret," Luo Yan's heart was beating very fast for no reason, yet she couldn't suppress that little bit of secret joy.
This "meeting on the Magpie Bridge" only lasts a few minutes, and soon it's time for the next class.
Luo Yan's mood fluctuated throughout the day. When she got home that evening, she grabbed her brother and said, "I have something to ask you."
Luo Hong was lounging on the sofa watching TV when his sister pulled him, almost making him fall to the ground. She said, "Why are you in such a hurry? If you break something, you'll have to pay for it."
Luo Yan pushed her brother into the room: "Make up for it, make up for it, how about I give you a thousand or eight hundred yuan?"
What they said is something only the siblings know.
Liu Yinfeng said to her husband, "It's most likely related to the child who wrote the letter."
Our daughter has always been very measured in what she does and doesn't do, but as parents, we are always afraid that she will get hurt and also afraid of restricting her freedom too much.
Luo Xinmin said, "Let's just leave it alone and not say anything to her, so we don't make things like before."
The "before" I was referring to was when my daughter was in junior high school.
Luo Yan was already a graceful young woman when she was thirteen or fourteen. She wasn't like she is now, staying at home all the time. For a while, she was always followed by a group of teenagers.
The couple always doted on their child, and since she was their only daughter, they were afraid something might happen to her. They followed her everywhere they went, nagging her a hundred or eighty times a day.
Their intentions were good, but their actions were wrong. To be honest, it's all their fault that our daughter doesn't like to go out now. Even our son complained about it after he returned to the city.
Liu Yinfeng now regrets it: "Fine, I won't get involved. Anyway, the young lady will tell us if there are any important matters, and she knows what's going on."
Luo Yan is too shrewd, which is why she has so many troubles now.
She asked her brother, "I don't think now is the time to date. What if the school finds out? We'll be in big trouble."
Luo Hong: "Do you want me to say it the way I am, or the way you say it?"
Luo Yan rolled her eyes: "You, you have experience in doing bad things."
"You really have to add that last sentence, right?" Luo Hong tapped his sister's forehead in annoyance. "If it's me, I'll date anyone who's interested."
Luo Yan: "It's easy to say, but you'll be punished."
She worked so hard to get into university, and her future seemed so bright; she couldn't bear the consequences.
Luo Hong only knew that the school was strict, so for the first time he asked carefully, "What level of punishment would result in disciplinary action?"
Luo Yan: "At night, crawling... that thing."
Being siblings, they always hesitated and stammered when talking about this kind of topic.
As long as Luo Hong could understand, he asked, "You don't care about holding hands?"
Luo Yan: "They do manage it. The teachers patrol the playground every day with flashlights. The first time you get a warning, the second time you have to write a self-criticism, and only the third time do you get a demerit."
Luo Hong: "In other words, as long as you don't reveal your true form, it's fine."
Luo Yan: "It should be, but I only heard about it."
Luo Hong, true to his reputation as an experienced "criminal," said, "Then don't talk at school, and don't let anyone know you know each other."
He added solemnly, "You can definitely do it. If he can't even think about your future, you should stay away from him as soon as possible."
Luo Yan thought of a word: "Then could this be considered a test?"
Luo Hong: "Yes, of course it counts."
Luo Yan hesitated for a moment: "Then I'll tell him next time we meet."
Luo Hong noticed his sister's hesitation at that moment: "It's precisely because you're undecided about this person that I allowed you to continue your contact."
He rarely spoke to his sister so seriously, and he found it strange himself. He added, "Just don't let anyone find out. If all else fails, I'll stand between you two when we meet."
He was willing, but Luo Yan wasn't; she frowned in disdain.
Luo Hong: "Ha, do you think I have a lot of free time? You don't know how to be grateful."
Luo Yan thanked her brother in a high-pitched voice and "politely" asked him to leave the room.
Luo Hong closed the door for his sister, and when he saw his parents looking over, he gave them a look that said, "Don't worry, nothing's wrong."
The couple then turned their attention back to the television, pretending that they weren't really interested in it anyway.
Luo Hong found it amusing and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
Although my son is unreliable, he can go wherever he wants at night.
Liu Yinfeng didn't care anymore and even waved her hand to urge him to leave quickly.
Luo Hong hadn't actually decided where to go, but he couldn't sit still at home. He got an idea as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard and headed straight for the car dealership.
When he arrived, his childhood friend was scolding his apprentice. Seeing someone come in, he decided to give him some face and said, "Give me a good job."
The apprentice breathed a sigh of relief and obediently squatted down to examine the car to see exactly what was wrong.
Zhou Weifang ignored him for the time being, pulled up a chair and sat down: "You seem to have a lot of free time today."
Luo Hong, familiar with the place, rummaged through the cabinet and pulled out peanuts and melon seeds: "Nowhere to go, so I came here to chat."
The two chatted idly for a while, and suddenly Luo Yan came up in conversation.
Zhou Weifang: "She'll be so busy once school starts that I'm almost embarrassed to ask her any questions."
Luo Hong spat out the sunflower seed shells in his mouth: "Don't worry, she won't let you off the hook no matter how busy she is."
Zhou Weifang subconsciously blurted out what he really thought: "That's good."
Adding to the phrase "better late than never," I also noted, "Without anyone urging me to read, it's a bit uninspiring."
"He's more like a loser," Luo Hong said. "You actually enrolled in the continuing education program?"
Just then, someone arrived, and Zhou Weifang showed him the latest account books, saying, "If I didn't learn from you, I would have a hard time even making this thing."
Luo Hong casually flipped through the pages and put them aside, only reluctantly looking at them after being kicked by his childhood friend.
Zhou Weifang: "Friendship is friendship, but even close brothers must keep clear accounts."
Luo Hong understood this principle and patiently said, "Okay, I'll take a good look."
Now it was Zhou Weifang's turn to leisurely eat sunflower seeds, and he even deliberately crossed his legs and swung them around.
Luo Hong was already annoyed by what he was seeing, and being shaken by him made him even more irritable: "I should have gone to Sparrow's place and found a couple of books to read."
Zhou Weifang scoffed mercilessly twice, but then, thinking that it would be better to be more polite to his childhood friend in the future, he quickly restrained himself.
Luo Hong had no time to care about what was going on. He finished reading the ledger page by page and pushed it forward, saying, "I'm definitely not coming back for at least half a month."
Love comes but not love, and Zhou Weifang doesn't want him either, secretly adding in her heart: Your sister is fine.
