Lu Jiang's sudden movement startled Qian Mao. His dazed state was completely different from his usual shrewdness, leaving the already unsettled Lu Jiang somewhat stunned.
Qian Mao was still hungover and thought he was in his dorm room. He habitually rubbed his head on the pillow, but he felt that today's pillow was a little different from his usual one. He squinted and reached out to touch it. Hmm? It felt a little fleshy and a little hard. What was this? Was this a human arm? No way!
He reached down along the pillow and felt... this... this looks like a person? Whoa! Qian Mao snapped awake, opened his eyes, and looked back. He saw Lu Jiang looking at him with a resentful expression, and felt a sense of guilt for having started something and then abandoned it.
He jumped off the bed with surprising agility, but tripped over the sheet as Lu Jiang pulled it up. He stammered, "Um, um, leader, I, I, you, you..."
Lu rubbed his numb arm and said, "What are you standing there for? Rub it for me, seriously, my arms and legs are numb all night!"
Qian Mao immediately said "Oh," got back onto the bed, knelt down, and began massaging Lu Jiang's arms and legs. But as he was massaging, Lu Jiang kicked him aside. He was a little confused. What happened?
Lu, still covered with the blanket, sat up and said, "Go wash your face!"
Qian Mao nodded, got out of bed, and muttered to himself as he walked, "Men, they're so fickle!"
Lu Jiang watched Qian Mao enter the bathroom, sighed, looked down at the blanket, and smiled wryly. He was just joking around, but he didn't expect to cause such an accident. Sigh! What kind of hands does this kid have!
Qian Mao washed his hair and came out. Lu Jiang looked at him in surprise: "You, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Qian Mao was taken aback: "Do I need to wear clothes to wash my hair?"
As Lu watched the water dripping from his hair down his chest and eight-pack abs and being absorbed by his pants, he felt his accident seemed to have gotten worse. He immediately said, "Hey, put your shirt on and go buy breakfast."
Qian Mao glanced at Lu Jiang, who was sitting motionless on the bed, nodded, went to the bathroom, took out his short-sleeved shirt, put it on, and left muttering to himself.
Lu sighed. "Emma, she's finally gone." He got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and looked at his serious accident. He was also depressed. He and Qian Mao had been together every day for a while, and when they were busy, they had shared a room. How did things turn out like this?
Qian Mao returned with breakfast and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered: "What's going on, boss? Why won't you open the door? You seemed perfectly normal when you left!"
Lu Jiang was wrestling with Mu Gu in the bathroom, ignoring the knocking on the door. After a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Jiang hadn't expected that he would only end his internal struggle by looking at the towel Qian Mao had just used to dry his hair. He immediately took a shower, changed his clothes, and then went to open the door.
Qian Mao walked in, placed the breakfast he was carrying on the table, and said, "Boss, I've already bought breakfast."
Lu hummed in agreement, sat down in the chair, opened the package and saw that it contained all his favorite foods. He waved his hand at him and said, "Sit down and eat with me."
Qian Mao didn't say anything, but sat down and started eating.
After spending a day in Haishi, Lu returned to Harbin.
Qian Mao didn't think much of it and went straight back to school. However, when he went to sleep that night, he kept thinking about the feeling he had that morning when he was half asleep. He felt that his pillow didn't feel as comfortable as before.

Qian Duoduo saw Poyang Lake for the first time with Professor Yuan at the Third Corps of the Jiangxi Production and Construction Corps. Hehe, it's really magnificent! It's the largest freshwater lake in China!
Professor Yuan looked at Qian Duoduo standing on the boat, looking eager to try it out, and said with a smile, "This is my first time visiting Poyang Lake too, Duoduo. How much do you know about Poyang Lake?"
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "Professor, are you testing me?"
A soldier standing next to them smiled as he watched them. He was Yu Jianshe, the company commander of the Second Construction Company of the Third Army Corps. He had been accompanying Professor Yuan for a month and admired him greatly. Just by looking at the rice plants in their company, he could tell what variety they were growing just by observing the heading stage, which was truly impressive.
Over the past month, it's been evident that Professor Yuan brought three students with him, but he showed extra care for this only little girl. And this little girl is quite remarkable; she can answer all of Professor Yuan's questions. Now, seeing Professor Yuan's smiling face, he's starting to wonder if Qian Duoduo is a relative of Professor Yuan.
Professor Yuan smiled at Qian Duoduo, who said, "There are two main explanations for the name Poyang Lake: one is that it's named after the land, and the other is that it's named after a mountain. The explanation that it's named after Poyang Mountain is the most widely accepted. According to Volume 23 of the *Yudi Jisheng* (Records of Geography and Scenery) about Raozhou, 'There is Poyang Mountain in the lake, hence the name Poyang Lake. The lake stretches for a long time, and Raozhou Prefecture was renamed Poyang Prefecture. This is an important historical period when 'Pengli Ze' was renamed 'Poyang Lake.' This is the origin of the name Poyang Lake."
Professor Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, little girl, you've done quite a lot of homework!"
Yu Jianshe smiled and said, "Qian, do you know what local specialties Poyang Lake has?"
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "There are 122 species of fish, 2 species of porpoises, and 87 species of shellfish that have been identified in Poyang Lake. The fish include more than 10 species such as carp, crucian carp, silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp, silver carp, mandarin fish, and bream. The Yangtze finless porpoise is one of the special products of Poyang Lake. In addition, it also produces a lot of shellfish, shrimp, crabs, waterfowl, lotus roots and other aquatic plants and animals."
Yu Jianshe laughed and said, "Haha, it seems you really did a lot of homework!"
Professor Yuan smiled and said, "You silly girl, when did you learn so much?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "At night, I sleep with gulls on Xucha, and at dawn, I moor my small boat to cook on Xijing. The reeds are growing more and more numerous, and the water at the end of Poyang Lake is as vast as the sky."
Yu Jianshe hadn't expected Qian Duoduo to spout poetry so readily. Just as he was about to praise her, he heard Professor Yuan say, "This is Yang Wanli's 'Boating on the Western Path'."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "That's right, these are lines from a poem describing Poyang Lake. This is the only one I could think of right now!"
Professor Yuan smiled and said, "That's good enough. It's great that you could even think of it!"
Yu Jianshe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he was a step too slow, or he would have made a fool of himself.
Yu Jing and Liang Kun walked over and saw Professor Yuan talking to Qian Duoduo. It would be a lie to say they weren't jealous, but Qian Duoduo's abilities were indeed impressive. Not only had she maintained the top score in the entire academic year for four consecutive years, but she also had unique insights into rice research. Furthermore, she had come to Zhuhu Farm in Shangrao, and Qian Duoduo and the others followed the professor around in the fields every day. Before they had even discovered any problems, Qian Duoduo pointed out that the rice stalks were too thin and there were few ears.
Professor Yuan then posed the question to them: "How do we solve the problem raised by Qian Duoduo?"
Their initial suggestion was to increase the amount of chemical fertilizer used.
