Chapter 26 Classmates
"Hey, Girl Knight!"
The earth-shattering shout instantly attracted everyone's attention. The tall and slender figure rushed over like a gust of wind. Before I had time to take a close look at her facial features, I could already feel the lightness emanating from her body, and the sunlight also jumped up.
Bang! The girl jumped high, and leaped in front of Gawain and MacDonald. Her upper body was slightly leaning forward, and her big eyes were fluttering as she looked at Gawain, as if she was trying to understand the changes in the expression in Gawain's eyes.
The bold and straightforward action is not aggressive, maintaining a certain distance, just making people feel the sincerity and frankness that comes to them. Even if they are a little uncomfortable with it, the corners of their mouth can't help but rise, and they feel happy.
"Gawain, I just called you, didn't you hear me?"
"Phew, you're walking so fast. I almost can't catch up."
"Ha ha."
The girl spoke in a rush, and even the usually low-key and reserved MacDonald couldn't help but smile. But then he was worried that his smile might cause misunderstanding, so he quickly pursed his lips and secretly observed the girl's expression.
Her eyes were fixed on Gawain motionlessly. Behind the cheerful and lively bright colors, there seemed to be a little shyness hidden, and even the sunlight became light and gentle.
Gawain was slightly dazed. He needed a little time to refresh his memory. He had lost contact with his college friends after graduation, including MacDonald. Now, another one suddenly appeared in front of him, and he needed to match the face with the name.
It was during this brief pause that the girl's cheerful voice rose again, "Sorry if I have delayed you."
Although his words expressed apology, the bright smile on his face was still bright and sunny.
Gawain laughed dumbly and shook his head gently, "No, it doesn't matter. The main thing is that I'm thinking about who the young knight is. I need some time to react."
"Hahaha." The girl laughed again. "You, the Knight of the Round Table beside King Arthur, the prototype of the Prince Charming who has fascinated countless girls."
In the British legend of King Arthur, he had a group of loyal and brave Knights of the Round Table, the most famous of whom were Sir Lancelot and Sir Gawaine, who were equally matched.
Knight Gawain is described in the legend as tall, handsome, elegant, brave, resolute, noble and loyal. The prototype of the "Prince Charming" comes from him, so he is also called the Maiden Knight. Even among the talented Knights of the Round Table, he is the most shining and special one.
In fact, the pronunciation of Gao Wen's name is not exactly the same as "Gawaine", but because other people do not have an accurate grasp of the pronunciation and intonation of Chinese, it is easy to make deviations, thus causing misunderstandings. Compared with the Chinese pronunciation, "Gawaine" is much easier for them.
The nickname "Girl Knight" also allowed Gawain to finally match the face with the name.
Elena-Bading, like him, is also a freshman.
Although Gawain no longer remembered who called him "the young knight" at first, after his classmates gradually became familiar with him, they all called him "Gawain" directly. Only a few classmates still liked to joke around and always liked to tease him with the "Prince Charming" joke, and Elena was one of them.
"Elena, what about my white horse?" Gawain did not argue, but made a joke to himself, making Elena laugh.
MacDonald also looked curious and laughed again.
The smile slowly settled in his eyes, and Gao Wen continued to ask, "What's wrong? Is there anything you want?"
"Oh, yes." Elena patted her forehead. "I mean, do you remember the paper your group published last month?"
Last month?
Gao Wen was a little panicked.
Elena went on to explain, "It's the paper about the rise of new social media."
"Ah, what happened?" Gawain had a little impression, but was not sure; however, at this time he could only follow Elena's words.
"Can you give me a copy of your reference list? My final paper is somewhat related to this area, but I'm having some trouble formulating the research question." Elena stated her request readily, clasping her hands together and pleading, "Please, please, your group's paper is the only one that got an A+ in this course this entire semester. I really, really need a little help."
"Of course, no problem. I'll look for it after I return to the dormitory tonight and then email it to you." Gao Wen also readily agreed.
"Ah!" Elena jumped up happily, "I knew you were the best!" She screamed, then took a step forward and gave Gawain a quick kiss on the cheek, while hugging him tightly, expressing her gratitude and excitement with all her body movements.
Elena jumped and turned away. Even after running a distance, she still turned back and shouted, "Gawain, thank you!"
Buzz.
Buzz.
Gawain could clearly sense that he had become the focus of everyone's attention, with countless burning gazes focused on him, which made Gawain feel a little embarrassed.
Turning his head, Gao Wen saw MacDonald staring at him and couldn't help coughing twice, "Don't think too much, we are just classmates."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
MacDonald burst out laughing. "I didn't say anything."
"Mike!" Gawain was speechless, but MacDonald ran away first, repeating over and over again, "I didn't say anything, ah! I didn't say anything", forcing Gawain to chase after him.
On campus, three students were standing under the shade of a tree at the entrance of the teaching building, arguing about the relationship between phenomenology and sociology, their faces red with anger; not far away, a student could be seen sitting cross-legged on the grass reading a book. The book on his knees, which was comparable to the Oxford Dictionary, should be the Criminal Law, and there were piles of case files scattered around him.
The figure who just passed by Gao Wen was jogging hurriedly, holding a thick stack of information in his hands, and heading towards the college library; not far away, a top student from the Department of Mathematics, wearing slippers and pajamas, and looking sloppy, could be seen. He had just woken up and was standing at the intersection, wondering what on earth he was doing here.
Some are busy and some are calm, some are chaotic and yet there is hidden order.
Gao Wen really hadn't felt such a comfortable and cozy atmosphere for a long time. Even the busyness was pure and simple.
After the initial excitement and the initial chaos, Gao Wen has finally adapted to the atmosphere of 2013. He seems to have regained the youthful spirit of his college days. The eighteen-year-old blood is boiling in his chest, and he is meeting challenges with vigor and vitality.
The scene that was once so familiar now looks different in our eyes.
Maybe, this time, it is indeed different.
We walked through the sun-drenched campus chatting and laughing, with the breeze blowing gently. The busy figures everywhere carried the unique simplicity of the school, as if there was a scent of books floating in the air. The tension of impetuousness and anxiety slowly subsided, and we could finally see the lush green grass and blue sky around us.
