University extra
In the capital city in September, autumn has not yet arrived and the summer heat has not yet dissipated.
Simply put, it's incredibly hot. The asphalt is steaming, and you can feel your rubber-soled shoes melting underfoot.
The dormitory layout at Capital University is quite similar to that of Cangzhong. There is a long corridor with neatly arranged doors on both sides, inside which are rows of bunk beds. Wooden tables and chairs are put together to form a study area, and water cups and washbasins are piled on the windowsill.
Wen Sheng was not unfamiliar with the dormitory environment and the crowded atmosphere; on the contrary, she felt a sense of familiarity. But as soon as she stepped out of the dormitory building, her view was immediately opened up.
The campus roads are straight and wide, with shady trees in the distance, and the red brick buildings in the distance exude an ancient charm under the sunlight, completely different from the small campus in Cangzhong.
Just as I was stunned into silence, a light "ding" sounded in my ear.
Wen Sheng looked up and saw Xu Jianing sitting on a bicycle, holding the handlebars with one hand and casually pressing the bell with the other, smiling at her.
She ran over, raised her hand to tuck her wind-blown hair behind her ear, and asked, "Why did you come on a bicycle?"
"Get in the car first, you'll see soon enough." Xu Jianing patted the back seat.
She hesitated for a moment, but still obediently sat down. As soon as the bicycle started moving, it swayed slightly, and Wen Sheng almost lost her balance, instinctively reaching out to grab his clothes.
Xu Jianing didn't rush to stabilize the car. Instead, he deliberately lurched forward and reminded her with a smile, "Be careful, hold on tight."
Wen Sheng could only quickly hug his waist, and after he steadied the bicycle, she began to complain, "You did that on purpose."
Xu Jianing did not deny it. His strength was that he never tried to justify what he had done; he would simply admit it.
Moreover, he had achieved his goal and was now in a very good mood.
"Yeah, I did it on purpose. Wen, would you like it faster or slower?" he asked.
Wen Sheng sensed a trap in those words, after all, the other party was a cunning person, but then she thought, it's just a bicycle, with people on the back, how fast can it go?
"Then let's hurry. Driver Xu, let's speed up to the cafeteria!"
A smile appeared in Xu Jianing's eyes, and he stomped his foot, sending the car speeding away.
The inertia caused Wen Sheng to stumble, and she quickly grabbed his lean and strong waist with both hands, pressing her whole body tightly against his back.
She should have realized it sooner! Who is Xu Jianing? He's the kind of person who'd do anything to get her to stick close to him.
On the surface, he appears very serious and usually has a cold and indifferent demeanor, but he actually uses all his bad intentions on her!
But I just couldn't resist that, and fell for his trick...
"Xu! Jia! Ning!"
Wen Sheng gritted her teeth and shouted, feeling both angry and ashamed. She was angry that he had succeeded, but ashamed that she was currently clinging to him tightly and couldn't jump out of the car.
His back was warm and strong, and a faint scent of soap wafted through his thin shirt, mingling with the floral fragrance in the wind, making one's heart flutter even more.
Wen Sheng thought to herself, thankfully he could only hear the wind and not the rapid, chaotic beating of her own heart.
Her eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea came to her. Since he was going to be bad, she would be even worse than him.
Wen Sheng's hand, which was wrapped around his waist, quietly reached inside his shirt. Since she couldn't see, she could only rely on her senses to lift the hem of his shirt and slowly probe inside. When she touched a patch of hot skin, she quickly groped around haphazardly.
As she was pulling out, a mischievous thought suddenly crossed her mind, and she pinched him hard.
But I really couldn't pinch it... It was tight and firm there, and the texture was excessively hard.
"Great!" The words just slipped out without thinking. (Reviewer: Those are abs!!)
Wen Sheng was stunned for a moment, unsure of what she had just touched. It felt hard and hot, and something felt off. She pinched her lower abdomen again, puzzled. It was soft. Comparing the feeling to what she had just touched, she became even more confused.
"Strange, why is it so hard?"
Xu Jianing, who was riding the bicycle in front, had actually frozen when she lifted the corner of her shirt. Her breathing became disordered, and she almost missed the pedal.
"Wen Sheng, what are you touching..."
His voice was carried away by the wind, and she couldn't hear it clearly, so she raised her voice and asked, "What is it?"
Xu Jianing slammed on the brakes, and the car came to a sudden stop on the side of the road.
Caught off guard, Wen Sheng stumbled forward, her forehead hitting his shoulder blade. She cried out "Ouch!" and looked up, meeting his eyes as he turned around.
He whispered, "Wen Sheng, what you just touched was my abs."
She paused for a moment, her ears turning red first, but she quickly recovered and the corners of her mouth curled up little by little.
The time for revenge has come!
"Oh~ so it's abs." She dragged out the last syllable, nodded deliberately, and then blinked innocently, "No wonder they're so hard. I thought they were rocks. Keep it up, Senior Xu."
Xu Jianing was speechless for a moment, staring at her smiling eyes, his gaze growing darker and darker.
The next second, he suddenly put down the kickstand, and the bicycle came to a steady stop on the side of the road. He walked around to Wen Sheng's side. Just as she was about to ask how to park, he cupped her face in his hands, as if she were a precious treasure.
Then he leaned down, but quickly pulled away, leaving a light, fleeting kiss on her lips.
"Xu Jianing—" She opened her mouth, and he kissed her.
"You—" she glared at him, and he kissed her again.
"You're bad—" she said angrily, but he kissed her again.
Wen Sheng's cheeks flushed red from the pressure, and she huffed, "Can't you let me finish what I'm saying?! How long are you going to keep kissing me like this, all light and fleeting?"
Xu Jianing's Adam's apple bobbed, and he finally laughed. He leaned down, put his hands around her waist, and held her tightly in his arms.
This time, it wasn't a fleeting kiss; he completely sealed her lips, deepening the kiss.
Wen Sheng wanted to push him away, but her hand gripped his sleeve. In the end, she slowly loosened her grip, closed her eyes little by little, and felt the improvement in his kissing skills.
Taking advantage of this brief moment of respite, he pressed his forehead against hers, his voice hoarse: "Are you very hungry now?"
"Huh?" Wen Sheng was still dizzy from being kissed so much that she was short of breath and hadn't reacted yet.
Xu Jianing smiled slightly and kissed her again before she could answer: "Then let me kiss you a little longer."
"Xu Jianing!" Wen Sheng cried out anxiously, pounding his chest muscles, but they were too hard for her to pound.
Are you made of iron?
She was kissed until she had no strength left and could only raise her hand to push him away. But as soon as her hand touched his shoulder, before she could exert any force, he grabbed her wrist and trapped her in his chest and arms.
"Fine," she thought, "we haven't seen each other for two months, so I'll just have to give him a little something."
But deep down, I still secretly vowed: Next time, I will never give him another chance...
In particular, we must never let him succeed again by sticking his tongue out.

The Capital University has five canteens, each with three floors, offering a dazzling array of dishes from both northern and southern Chinese cuisines.
Wen Sheng was taken to the first canteen by Xu Jianing, ordered the most expensive dish, and then used Xu Jianing's meal ticket to run straight to the top floor, where she sat down in the corner of the canteen with her tray.
Xu Jianing went to the small window next to her to buy two bottles of chilled plum juice. When she turned around, she found that the person who had just been next to her was gone.
He glanced around the first floor, saw no one, and roughly understood what was going on. Carrying his drink, he slowly went up to the second floor, then walked to the third floor, where he could easily spot the person hiding in the crowd.
Xu Jianing walked over and put two bottles of plum juice on the table. "You seem to be enjoying your meal."
Wen Sheng was holding a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs when she was so startled that she almost dropped her chopsticks. She looked up and saw it was him.
"How did you find it so quickly...?"
Xu Jianing ignored her glare at him, helped her disassemble the straw for the plum juice, and pushed it to her lips.
"Try it, it's very thirst-quenching."
Wen Sheng took a sip of the plum juice, which calmed her down a bit, but when she saw his chopsticks reaching out, she immediately glared at him again.
One bite of rice, one glare; one bite of vegetables, another glare.
"Don't kiss me so hard next time!" she said.
Xu Jianing was drinking plum juice when he heard this and laughed out loud. He quickly coughed to cover it up.
So...does that mean there can be a next time?
"You're pushing your luck!"
Wen Sheng glared at him angrily, chewing on sweet and sour pork ribs while staring at him, her cheeks puffed out like a cute little hamster.
Xu Jianing was charmed by his girlfriend's cuteness and reached out to poke her puffed-up cheeks: "Hmm. Next time I'll find a tree, but unfortunately there aren't any old locust trees here."
He suddenly remembered something and composed himself.
"You'll be having military training next week; the school should send a notification to your classes tomorrow."
"Military training? What is military training?" Wen Sheng asked.
This was the first time she had ever heard of this new term.
"Simply put, it means you have to stand at attention, march in formation, shout slogans, and train your physical fitness under the scorching sun," Xu Jianing explained.
Wen Sheng was surprised: "You can do that?"
"Hmm." Xu Jianing picked up a piece of boiled beef for her and continued, "Last year was the first time we participated in military training. For two whole weeks, from morning to night, we stood at attention and marched in formation under the sun. We couldn't even sleep during our lunch break because of the heat."
He paused, seemingly recalling an unpleasant experience, and frowned. "Don't let my fair complexion fool you, I was tanned like a lump of coal back then. My face peeled off, and it took me a long time to recover."
Wen Sheng imagined what Xu Jianing would look like with a tan. His usually aloof face turning into a dark charcoal tan... it seemed a bit hard to accept.
She still prefers him the way he is now: slim when dressed, muscular when undressed, and with a fair complexion.
Seeing her suppress a laugh, Xu Jianing raised an eyebrow and slowly put down her chopsticks: "What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm dark-skinned?"
Wen Sheng quickly shook her head, saying that she didn't mind, and then guiltily lowered her head to eat.
Xu Jianing snorted coldly, then took out a few boxes from her bag and handed them over, "Don't worry, I'm experienced now, I've prepared them for you in advance this time."
"What is that?"
"Sunscreen. I asked a friend to buy this for me. I heard it can protect against the sun. You can use it during your military training."
"This must be expensive...?" Wen Sheng took it and saw that it was covered in dense English text.
"Fortunately, I earned some money tutoring during my freshman year," Xu Jianing said nonchalantly.
“Xu Jianing…you…”
He held the chopsticks to her lips, changing the subject as if to help her out: "Try this Kung Pao Chicken, it's delicious."
"Mmm, delicious!"
