Like autumn leaves falling on the western hills, the slight ambiguity of last night was also covered up by the wind and snow of the night, leaving no trace, like a reflection in a mirror or the moon in the water. However, the momentary attraction between the two people was a real existence in last night's dream.
As usual, Bu Tongxun was in the kitchen preparing breakfast before dawn, wearing her kitchen apron, the tableware making a crisp sound from time to time. Duanmu Ci came out of the bathroom, vigorously drying his hair with a towel, his eyes as hazy as the rising moon.
He wasn't fully awake yet.
This is abnormal, because Duanmu Ci always sleeps very well, so he rarely appears lethargic after sleeping. If this does happen, there are only two possibilities: either he's sick, or he didn't sleep well. Given his unique constitution, the first option can be ruled out. As for the second…
So let's talk about why he didn't sleep well. To answer this question, we first need to go back in time and see what happened... and only one thing happened last night...
So what was Duanmu Ci thinking about during this time when he couldn't sleep?
Nobody knows...
...
...
After successfully taking over the Kendo Club, Duanmu Ci sent its members to challenge various clubs across the academy, only to be defeated one by one without any doubt. It makes sense, though; sending a bunch of people with knives to challenge professional clubs is bound to result in them getting crushed. Those who were challenged remarked that it was far too easy…
But it doesn't matter that they lost, because they still have Teacher Duanmu! Isn't that what teachers exist for? To protect their students and lend a helping hand in crucial moments. So, Teacher Duanmu, with a legitimate reason, stepped forward without hesitation.
The first club to be exposed was the sailing club. The sailing club is one of the largest clubs in the school. Such advanced clubs, which only a few top students can afford to participate in, are naturally not like ordinary clubs such as the guitar club or the football club, which are present in every college. In fact, there is only one sailing club among the dozen or so colleges of Haishan University.
It's the dead of winter, so a competition is out of the question. In fact, the guy Duanmu Ci sent to challenge the dojo shouldn't even be called a challenger; "provocative" would be a more fitting description… This guy just walked right into the dojo office and arrogantly declared, "From now on, hang out with our kendo club, we'll protect you!" Honestly, Duanmu Ci thought this guy was only able to walk back unscathed because his opponent was so kind-hearted. The sailing club should really be awarded "Excellent Student" certificates… Oh, I forgot, that's not fashionable in university…
The sailing club is located in the School of Foreign Languages at Haishan University, as this is the closest place to the beach and the ocean. From any building, you can see the white waves and the blue sea, perfectly matching the spirit of the sailing club. This location also serves as the club's headquarters and the office of its president.
In other words, it's not only convenient for sailing, but also for attending classes.
On this sunny and breezy day, Mr. Duanmu, who had a grand plan in mind, felt that today was a good day to challenge the club. So, after asking around several times, he finally found the right door to the sailing club.
As one of the school's top clubs, the sailing club may not have the grand hall of the kendo dojo, but it does have a decent club office, much better than Mr. Duanmu's office 503.
Although the sailing club could not set sail at this time, there were still people on duty here. Coincidentally, the person who stayed here was Xu Youmei, the club manager.
The position of club manager is quite important for a formal, high-level club. The manager needs to pay attention to the members' physical condition, arrange club competitions, organize cheerleading squads, and, when necessary, seek sponsorships. In short, it's a very important but troublesome position that most people simply can't handle.
Xu Youmei did just that. Although she was a girl, and one who didn't sail, she still managed to do these things very well, which earned her the love and respect of the other members.
I heard that Xu Youmei is the younger sister of Xu Chuncheng, the president of the sailing club. She is the real power holder in the sailing club. Moreover, since her brother Xu Chuncheng often doesn't care about things, talking to her might be more effective.
At this moment, Xu Youmei also looked up from her desk. She had recently secured sponsorship from a large company to purchase some new sailboats in preparation for the Harvard sailing team's challenge this summer. Although the sailing club members didn't really need this kind of sponsorship given their family backgrounds, it would be good to receive some help, so there was no need to refuse.
So she was a bit busy at the moment, and her tone towards the man at the door wasn't particularly friendly, even though the man was handsome...
"Hey! Is there something you need?"
Duanmu Ci smiled slightly, "I'm not a classmate, I'm a teacher... Duanmu Ci from the Chinese Department of the Faculty of Arts."
Duanmu Ci?
To be honest, this name is quite well-known in the recent gossip surrounding Haishan University. Even students like Xu Youmei, who don't follow current events, know this name. So she toned down her tone slightly, stood up, and said, "Oh, it's Professor Duanmu. May I ask what brings you here this time..."
"I'm here to help you," Teacher Duanmu said with a kind smile.
"Help us?" Xu Youmei asked, puzzled.
Duanmu Ci sat in the chair opposite the desk. "I heard that the Harvard University sailing team is coming to Haishan this summer to compete with you. Is that true?"
Xu Youmei asked warily, "How did you know?"
