When the professors in the mathematics department saw the Milky Way, they laughed so hard their eyes almost disappeared.
"If you're too busy to make this trip, we can have you deliver it."
Xinghe stood obediently. "I'm not very busy today, so I just happened to come and visit the school."
"They're already so tired all the time, it's only right that they take some time to rest."
"Yes, yes, you don't need to stay at school all day to get good grades. If you don't understand anything, just call us. We're always here for you."
The professors were already pleased with Xinghe, and now that they knew why she didn't have time to stay at the school, their gazes toward her became even more proud and kind.
They had excellent judgment, recruiting such a gem into the school. Now, what can the neighboring school compare to them?
Xinghe filled out the registration form and then got a bunch of exercises and materials from the professor.
She politely declined the professors' kind offer to see her out, and ran faster than a rabbit.
Indeed, being too famous isn't good either.
Someone behind her called out "Xinghe" in a soft voice with a hint of amusement.
"Star River".
Xinghe turned his head and saw Jiang Yezhou standing under the maple tree.
Autumn has arrived, and the maple leaves have turned a deep red. A gust of wind blows, and a leaf falls gently to the ground.
Jiang Yezhou stood under the tree, the fiery red maple leaves serving as his backdrop.
He smiled and walked towards Xinghe, "What a coincidence."
Xinghe's eyes lit up too, "Brother Ye Zhou, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Yezhou's smile widened slightly. "I forgot to tell you, I've joined A University."
"Hmm? Which department?"
What do you think?
"A foreign language major? You speak foreign languages so well."
Jiang Yezhou smiled. "Is that a compliment?"
"certainly."
Xinghe's eyes darted over Jiang Yezhou. "You can't be a math major, can you?"
Jiang Yezhou thought about it seriously for a moment, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "If you wish, it can be."
He gazed at the Milky Way, a slight smile playing on his lips.
His tone was serious.
It seems that no matter what Xinghe says, he...
Xinghe's breathing and heartbeat were somewhat out of control again.
That deadpan face! Why are you blushing like that? You're spineless.
She changed the subject, "Brother Ye Zhou, how have you been feeling these past few days? How's that rascal doing?"
The irresponsible owner finally remembered the egg that hadn't even hatched yet.
"I'm fine, but it seems like there's something wrong with it."
The rascal, who had been bouncing around in the bag for a while, was now fuming.
Is it really that inconspicuous? It even jumped around a few times!
I'm angry.
Jiang Yezhou took it out of his bag.
On her hand, smooth and warm like jade, with clearly defined joints, was an egg slightly larger than a regular egg…?
Xinghe's eyes widened, and he reached out to poke the egg. "Has it mutated? It's turned black."
Jiang Yezhou lowered his eyes, "It absorbed the evil energy in my body and became what it is now."
"I sent you a message, but you were probably too busy to see it."
Jiang Yezhou lowered his head, his voice filled with an indescribable sense of loss and grievance.
Xinghe slapped his forehead. "I've been busy these past few days and haven't had time to check my phone. Ye Zhou, next time you need something, just call me. Even if I don't answer for a while, I'll call you back right away."
Jiang Yezhou's aggrieved expression vanished instantly, and a smile returned to her eyes. "Okay, I'll remember that."
The villain bounced around in Xinghe's palm a few more times and even did a backflip.
Xinghe tapped its eggshell and then examined its interior.
The interior, which was originally filled with white light, is now pitch black.
Xinghe had never encountered this situation before, but the egg seemed to be in good spirits.
"You didn't hatch it halfway and the egg died inside, did you?"
Egg instantly became furious and jumped up, wanting to smash Xinghe twice.
Jiang Yezhou protected the egg with one hand and Xinghe's forehead with the other.
The cool touch landed on Xinghe's forehead, and she smelled the medicinal fragrance on Jiang Yezhou again.
It has a light, pleasant scent.
"Are you alright?"
Jiang Yezhou's voice came from above Xinghe's head.
They were so close that Xinghe could see Jiang Yezhou's Adam's apple.
His Adam's apple was very prominent, and faint blue veins could be seen around it. It rolled slightly as he swallowed.
As if her mind had suddenly contorted, she blurted out, "Can I touch it?"
Jiang Yezhou's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he uttered a questioning sound, "Hmm?"
Xinghe finally came to her senses and, realizing what she had said, took a big step back, her eyes darting around. "I want to see this egg."
She took it from Jiang Yezhou's hand and pretended to look at it over and over.
After looking at it several times, he returned it to Jiang Yezhou, saying, "There's nothing wrong with it. It looks very healthy and should be hatching soon."
But, it's black... so there shouldn't be any problem, right?
Jiang Yezhou reached out and touched Xinghe's face. "Your face is a little hot. Is it too hot?"
"Yes, but I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Xinghe darted away as fast as she could, as if someone was chasing her.
Jiang Yezhou stared at her back for a long time, then smiled silently.
Her smile was even brighter than before.
He gently stroked the egg in his hand, "Even after all this, she still hasn't made a move."
"Perhaps next time, I should be more proactive?"
The egg twitched twice, as if trying to say something.
Xinghe walked a short distance, then stood still, feeling annoyed for a while.
Then he turned around and ran back.
She asked with a serious expression, "May I touch you? Just for a minute."
Jiang Yezhou's eyelashes trembled slightly as she gazed at the Milky Way.
Ignoring everything else, Xinghe reached out and ran his hand across Jiang Yezhou's eyes, nose, and mouth, finally pausing briefly on his Adam's apple.
We finally met.
The texture was much better than she had imagined.
It resembles jade, yet is warmer and softer.
Xinghe bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, Brother Ye Zhou."
After she finished speaking, she ran away very fast.
It's all her fault for not listening to her hand. She felt that if she hadn't touched it today, she would have been thinking about it for a long time to come.
What happened next.
Who cares, she's made a profit!
Xinghe took a long time before he dared to send a message to Jiang Yezhou.
Galaxy: [Kitten peeking out (JPG)]
Xinghe: [Brother Ye Zhou, I'm sorry. I don't know what happened to me today. My hands might have had a mind of their own.]
Xinghe: [I'll have it atone for your sins.]
Xinghe filmed the video of his left hand beating his right hand and sent it to Jiang Yezhou.
Jiang Yezhou: [I've become famous.]
The next image is a photograph.
The photo only shows a section of fair and slender neck with a prominent Adam's apple and faint blue veins around it.
A touch of light red on her fair skin was particularly eye-catching.
