Volume 1 Chapter 14 Where does this beautiful sister come from?
Wen Fei had never met a novice who learned skateboarding so quickly, and she couldn't tell for a moment whether it was because Du Ruo was actually a potential skateboarding genius or she herself was actually a potential genius teacher?
From the beginning to now, in just about three hours, Du Ruo has switched from a novice land surfboard to a longboard, and even started to try pivot movements.
When she first started skateboarding, it seemed like she practiced for three months to get to this point…
She looked at Du Ruo practicing in the square and murmured to Ji Yunbai, "Is it because I teach particularly well?"
Ji Yunbai hugged her shoulders, unwilling to burst her fantasy, and changed the comparison and said, "A-Mo also practiced for three days, right?"
Wen Fei sighed.
Alas, comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
Where does this beautiful sister come from?

Du Ruo has always had her own unique way of thinking and extreme concentration.
In her world, there is no such thing as 'practice makes perfect', there is only knowing how to do something and not knowing how to do it, understanding and not understanding.
Once she finds the angle and technique that suits her best, she can quickly master the essentials and even apply them to other situations.
Wen Fei only taught her the basic pivot movements and suggested that she start from a 45-degree turn and practice step by step.
After trying a few times, Du Ruo began to figure out 90 degrees, 180 degrees...
After she completed the 180-degree pivot without any mistakes, she wanted to move on to the more difficult 360-degree pivot. She adjusted her breathing, stabilized her core, opened her arms, rotated her shoulders, and turned vigorously, her movements smooth and graceful.
However, hesitation often leads to failure.
The moment she began to spin, she realized she could probably go beyond 360 degrees, possibly even 540.
But as soon as this thought flashed through her mind, her hesitation caused the movement to lose coherence. She did not stop after turning 360 degrees, and the initial force did not meet her expectations, causing her core to become unstable and the skateboard under her feet to disobey her commands.
Suddenly, Du Ruo lost his balance, fell off the board, and staggered back a few steps.
Before she could steady herself, a strong arm grabbed her arm tightly and held her steady.
Her back hit a solid chest. Du Ruo looked back and saw Xu Jingmo's clear jawline.
Xu Jingmo lowered his eyes to look at her. The two were very close, so close that they could clearly feel each other's breathing.
The fresh citrus scent wafted into my nostrils. It was the scent of the shower gel he kept in the bathroom. The same aura from both of them intertwined in the air, blending together tacitly, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.
He blinked and looked at her face close before him. His Adam's apple rolled slightly unconsciously and he even forgot to speak for a moment.
Du Ruo looked up at Xu Jingmo, her heartbeat suddenly speeding up. She wondered how she could get so panicked just by falling. Seeing him staring at her, making it hard to tell his emotions, she immediately came to her senses and stood still.
It's so embarrassing. I didn't perform well during my practice, and instead I fell down and was seen by Xu Jingmo. I lost face.
"I can keep myself steady." Du Ruo spoke with an awkward tone. She gently shook off his arm and stood up, which made people feel cold.
Xu Jingmo's eyes never left her face, capturing her every little expression, the slight pursed mouth, the dodging eyes, all of which showed her resistance and indifference.
Just having such close contact with him, you're so disgusted?
Xu Jingmo suppressed the bitterness in his heart, put his hands in his coat pockets as if nothing had happened, and explained: "I just walked over and saw you were about to fall. It was a subconscious reaction. Anyone would help you up."
Seeing that he had no intention of laughing at her, Du Ruo gave him a step and said, "Oh, thank you."
"You're still so polite to me."
Xu Jingmo was chilled to the bone by her coldness and aloofness. The fantasy he had just had disappeared from his mind. He changed the subject and said, "I'll pick you up to go to dinner with my roommates."
Du Ruo glanced at the people in the car on the side of the road, nodded, took a few steps forward, stepped on the skateboard, picked up the skateboard, and walked into the house to take off the safety gear.
Xu Jingmo followed her and walked to the door. Seeing Wen Fei and Ji Yunbai with gossipy eyes, he asked, "Let's go to Taixuanlou. Are you guys going?"
"Go, you must go!" Ji Yunbai responded immediately. He had classes in the afternoon, but it was not important. It was common for junior students to skip classes. Nothing could be more important than eating his brother's melon.
Xu Jingmo knew clearly what he was thinking, but he was too lazy to pay attention. He felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and even more uncomfortable and upset.

Xu Jingmo and Ji Yunbai drove separately, and the group headed to Taixuan Building.
After entering the private room and ordering the dishes, Ji Yunbai couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Sister, are you the same age as Ah Mo?"
Du Ruo replied: "I'm 17."
"So you are still a high school student? You can still go out and play in your third year of high school?" Wen Fei didn't think much about it, but subconsciously calculated based on age.
Du Ruo shook her head and denied: "I'm in college and I'm on vacation now."
At that time, people did not realize what topic they had raised; they just thought it was normal to go to college at the age of 17.
Shi Rui followed up the topic and asked, "Which school are you in? You don't even know. Since you came to our school yesterday, the confession wall has been filled with inquiries about your details."
Du Ruo didn't mind telling others his information, it wasn't private at all.
But since she went to college, she has never come into contact with anyone of her age except Xu Jingmo.
Her experience of making friends when she was a child was not very good, which caused her to hesitate for a while.
She didn't care that they might look at her differently, what she cared about was that she boasted to the old man that she would definitely make friends of her dreams when she returned home.
She was afraid that if she opened her mouth she would scare them away like those people she met when she was a child.
The people present were either the proud sons and daughters of University A or the brightest among the bright sons and daughters of University B. Some of them had once been the top student in a certain city or the best in their class. As top students in key domestic universities, they were all a little smug and arrogant. When they saw her suddenly stop talking, they thought she felt that her school was inferior by comparison and was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Shi Rui was about to change the subject when the waiter came to serve the dishes. After the dishes were served, Xu Jingmo reached out and poured a cup of pear soup for Du Ruo. He said calmly, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. They can all withstand the blow."
The strange feeling in Du Ruo's heart reappeared, and she glanced sideways at Xu Jingmo.
It’s really strange, why can Xu Jingmo always guess what she is thinking even though she doesn’t say anything?
Could he read minds?
When will it happen?
Could it be that he traveled here from some parallel universe?
Du Ruo looked at him suspiciously, muttering to himself, Xu Jingmo is a big fool, Xu Jingmo is a big fool, Xu Jingmo is a big fool.
Xu Jingmo pushed the cup in front of her, curled his lips and smiled lightly, "Taste, it's sweet."
Seeing that he had no reaction, Du Ruo thought that she was really crazy and might have done something stupid while doing the experiment. She picked up the cup and took a sip. It was indeed sweet and delicious. She put aside the random thoughts in her mind and tasted it carefully.
Xu Jingmo curled his lips and answered their curious questions for her.
"She goes to MIT."
