When He Jing arrived early in the morning, this was the scene she saw: He Yuan could barely fit on the two-meter-long sofa, and his chin was covered in bluish stubble, looking like he hadn't shaved for several days.
He didn't sleep well; he was worried in his sleep, his sword-like eyebrows tightly furrowed, leaving shallow wrinkles between them.
He Jing turned on the air conditioner to a comfortable temperature, gently covered him with a thin blanket, and stroked his brow with her fingertips, soothing his worries.
To help He Yuan sleep better, she played some soft music, then went to the bathroom to get the new electric shaver she had bought for him and shaved his beard.
When He Yuan woke up, it was already 10 a.m. Chen Le, Lin Chun and the others were already in the laboratory doing research. He sat up abruptly, his throat hoarse from prolonged dehydration: "Sorry, I overslept."
"It's still early."
Chen Le only found out that He Yuan had stayed up all night when he arrived in the morning. He felt extremely embarrassed because he had gone out for barbecue with some brothers yesterday evening and hadn't come to the lab.
Lin Chun also laughed: "I brought breakfast for my senior, so He Jing doesn't need to make breakfast for him."
He Yuan hurried to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. While eating breakfast, he looked for He Jing with his eyes. He Jing didn't have class at this time and usually stayed at his place.
I don't know why I haven't seen He Jing right now.
Seemingly noticing his confusion, Lin Chun said, "Junior He Jing went to the cafeteria. Because her cooking is so delicious, the school specially set up a special window for her so that the senior students who are scrambling for food don't have to travel a long way to get here."
He Yuan looked bewildered: "?"
"In exchange, the junior will have her tuition and fees waived at University A, and she will also have a dedicated teacher to teach her."
In short, she was taught all the university knowledge during the summer vacation, and when the training ended, she even earned a sum of tuition money to take back home.
He Yuan: "...Amazing!"
He spent four years at University A and was known as a prominent figure there, but he never did anything this impressive.
After finishing his research all morning, He Yuan finally decided to leave the dark, abandoned chemistry building at noon and go to the cafeteria.
The usually bustling cafeteria was still packed, but there were only a few people queuing at windows one through five, while the queue at the temporarily opened window six was incredibly long.
It was less a queue and more an inability to squeeze in; it was a chaotic mess, resembling an offline ticket-grabbing frenzy.
Taking advantage of his tall stature, He Yuan saw He Jing wearing a white chef's hat, her beautiful, fair hands holding a large iron ladle. She scooped up a ladle and shook it three times, her movements even more skilled than the old lady at the next window.
"Next."
She called out in a clear, crisp voice.
The boy who had been given food held up his food and said, "Don't push, don't push," while moving away from the crowd.
When he saw that he had three more braised pork ribs than his roommates, he chuckled and was overjoyed: "I knew that junior He Jing cared about me."
My roommate rolled her eyes: "I have more fried chicken than you."
He Yuan rubbed his temples. He now suspected that He Jing hadn't come to A University for further studies, but rather for business. With her around, the other aunties at the service windows would all be out of a job.
Fortunately, the school cafeteria staff are paid monthly.
This situation did not last long, because the food at window number six was sold out.
He Jing said, "Dear seniors and juniors, please queue at other windows."
The students gathered around window number six sighed and then orderly moved to other windows to continue queuing.
They decided to quit their clubs tomorrow and join the school's track and field team to practice running properly.
He Yuan walked to window number six and called out, "Sister."
He Jing lowered her hand as she was about to take off her hat, then looked up with a playful smile: "What would you like to eat, classmate?"
