Chapter 4: How to Use Talent to Conquer the Goddess
After Tong Yao returned to school, she complained to Xu Jiaojiao about the old lady who was scamming people: "Really, she is so old and still does this kind of thing. If she wasn't so old, I would have had a tantrum."
"It's just like what everyone says. It's not that the old people have become bad, but that the gangsters have become old." Xu Jiaojiao sighed.
Tong Yao nodded repeatedly: "Your boyfriend also introduced me to a new insurance product on the way: accident insurance. I also learned a lot."
"I don't want to say anything at all... I instantly imagined him wearing a suit and tie, selling insurance..." Xu Jiaojiao held her forehead with her right hand, speechless.
"Haha, you are definitely not alone! I almost thought he would talk about various critical illness insurance and pension insurance next!" Tong Yao clapped and laughed.
"Speaking of which, it was my male god who was smart. He was not afraid of hooligans and violence and rushed to rescue you. It was simply the standard plot of the prince and princess!" Xu Jiaojiao started to be infatuated with him again.
"Hey, am I just a little lamb that can be slaughtered at will?" Tong Yao snapped her fingers.
Xu Jiaojiao made a frightened expression.
The two laughed and joked for a while, and Xu Jiaojiao suddenly said: "I don't know what happened to Xu Qing."
Tong Yao shook her head.
"I guess the 'scumbag' broke up with the beauty long ago." Xu Jiaojiao looked at her face and said, "Haven't we seen much of Xu Qing recently? It is said that she went to the Finance Department to take a class and answered for a boy, and was caught red-handed."
Tong Yao looked at her in surprise: "Is she crazy or is she stupid as a teacher?"
"Didn't everyone in the finance department have a name tag? They put it on their desks during professional classes so that the teacher could call on them. It was her bad luck that the teacher just happened to call on the 'scumbag' to answer a question. How could she answer? The teacher then said, 'You are not Zeng, I almost thought he had an unspeakable habit.'"
As for the "fetish" the teacher mentioned, whether it was transvestite or something else, there was no way of knowing.
How could someone make such a low-level mistake? Tong Yao was speechless: "Love is blind."
No matter what others think, Xu Qing enjoys it.
During the time when she and Tong Yao quarreled, the school beauty and Zeng Yijie parted ways completely, and Xu Qing stayed with him. She begged for reconciliation, but Zeng Yijie refused to give a direct answer. Fortunately, he did not say bad things to her or stay away from her completely.
Xu Qing was afraid that she would anger him if she said too much, so she quietly stayed by his side with a little luck and a little happiness. Over time, the two returned to their previous way of getting along: eating together and attending classes. Compared with before, Xu Qing even felt that the two of them had a better understanding. Before the other party opened his mouth, she could guess whether the other party wanted to eat snacks or drink water. Therefore, when Zeng Yijie asked her to take his place in class, even though Xu Qing had her own class, she agreed without saying a word - he wanted to help himself, didn't it also show from the side that the relationship between the two had greatly improved?
After being exposed by the teacher, Xu Qing ran to the bathroom and cried bitterly. Zeng Yijie, who learned the news, took the initiative to invite her to dinner. Xu Qing wiped her tears and went to the dinner, and was full of expectations for this dinner - her efforts and grievances were finally coming to fruition.
P University has very strict requirements for classroom discipline. Skipping classes is not only linked to grades, but will even affect the year-end evaluation, so Zeng Yijie is actually not in a good mood. Xu Qing, who was originally full of expectations, is introverted by nature. At this moment, she can't and dare not ask, so she can only eat hot pot silently, holding back tears.
So the scene that should have been lively and lively, eating hot pot and singing songs, was forced to look desolate by the two of them. When they were about to finish eating, it was Xu Qing who broke the silence first, mustered up the courage to sit down next to Zeng Yijie, and showed him some of the teacher's blackboard notes that she had recently taken.
Zeng Yijie watched her flipping through the photos lazily, showing no interest. Xu Qing counted the time, flipping through the photos every 30 seconds, focusing on the distance between them. She carefully closed the distance, and when she was finally about to lean on his shoulder, she suddenly heard Zeng Yijie ask, "Wait! What is this?"
After taking a look at the screen, Xu Qing was startled, her hands shook, and she almost dropped the phone.
Zeng Yijie snatched the phone away.
"I didn't mean to show you those things, turn them off..." Xu Qing said hurriedly.
There was a pajama party in the girls' dormitory before. Everyone had a great time. In addition to the pajama show, they also drew lots to wear other people's pajama to walk the runway. At that time, the girls all signed a confidentiality agreement, and the photos could not be circulated. I don't know how Xu Qing found them out.
The photo Zeng Yijie saw was of Xu Qing. She was wearing Xu Jiaojiao's pajamas, a cartoon bunny costume with a pair of long ears and a short furry tail, very cute.
Xu Qing looked shy.
"Oh, very cute." Zeng Yijie smiled rarely.
A little shy, a little sweet, Xu Qing lowered her head and dared not look at him. Zeng Yijie did not linger on the photo. His fingers quickly slid forward, flipping through the photos, and then saw Tong Yao wearing a red suspender nightgown.
The words "hands as soft as catkins, skin as white as cream" are not an exaggeration to describe Tong Yao. The incandescent light shines down, highlighting her delicate and fair skin, which seems to be shiny. Her black hair hangs down smoothly and curls at the collarbone. Perhaps the owner of the nightgown is relatively short, so the nightgown looks just right on Tong Yao, and it sticks softly to her body, highlighting her very attractive figure.
"It's effortless." Zeng Yiji chuckled, selected a few photos that looked more "interesting" and sent them to his mobile phone, then quickly deleted the records.
Xu Qing looked up and smiled at him in confusion. She felt a little scared and uneasy for some reason. "Yijie, you won't tell anyone else, right? We agreed to keep it a secret."
"I know!" Zeng Yiji returned the phone to her and answered somewhat unhappily.
However, that night, an "anonymous angel" posted a post on the gossip section of the BBS, titled "Those years' fickle women who must be mentioned, with pictures and truth." The picture accompanying the post was Tong Yao wearing a suspender nightgown. The text reads: I said beauty is scheming, you said true and false gossip, hyping it up just for the headlines, just make yourself happy; I said beauty is a snake, you said you can't believe it if you haven't been poisoned; I said beauty is fickle, you said why don't you see a peach tree over my wall. Now I'll post pictures, materials and dry goods, just enjoy yourself. The pajamas are sexy, the eyes are blurred, the posture is coquettish, who is she trying to seduce by wearing this? What do you think this time? [Sly smile]
In just one minute, hundreds of replies were posted.
It's so eye-catching! Is it really Tong Yao?
The person above, you are not the only one who didn’t expect that she was such a Tong Yao.
Charming, charming, and even more charming, OP, we wronged you.
I said that I went back to read Shui Xing Yang Hua's post silently. Although I felt sad, I believed it a little.
I believed it a long time ago!
…
This post went viral at lightning speed.
As soon as the post was published, Xu Jiaojiao, who was lying in front of her computer, knew about it. She also installed an automatic detection script, which would automatically prompt when the keywords "Qin Zhan" and "Tong Yao" appeared. She clicked on it and was shocked: "Yaoyao, you've been hacked again... This time it's an internal hack."
The two immediately recognized the photo as a pajama party photo. The pajama belonged to a girl in the next dormitory, so it was very recognizable.
“There were only eleven girls who attended the pajama party. Even though we agreed not to leak the information, it seems to be of no use.” Tong Yao had a headache.
"The person who posted this is so hateful! He said all sorts of nonsense and led everyone to think in a bad direction." Xu Jiaojiao slammed the table angrily and replied in a panic.
Is the OP "deep well ice"? Didn't you see that the background is the dormitory beds? It's just a girls' pajama party, but you can interpret it like this, it's disgusting.
Original poster: Explanation is concealment, and concealment is the truth. Please read this truth a thousand times.
Xu Jiaojiao was furious: "Original poster, you have the ability to change the subject, but you should answer my doubts directly. Why do you say that people are fickle? If you have a reason, then go ahead. If you don't have a reason, you'd better apologize!"
OP: Is there any girl who dresses like Tong Yao? She said she wears pajamas to sleep and puts on makeup. Are you sure she is not trying to hook up with someone?
"I really want to swear!" Xu Jiaojiao was so angry that she jumped up and down, and then responded with a burst of anger.
I already said it's a pajama party. How dare you, the OP, show off your intelligence when you are so ignorant?
Tong Yao patted Xu Jiaojiao on the shoulder: "Forget it. I can see that the man just wants to throw dirty water on me. There's nothing to say to this kind of person who is secretive and stirs up trouble behind the scenes. It's fine if he doesn't show up in front of me, but if he dares to come out, I will definitely talk to him about reason." After speaking, Tong Yao clenched her fists, and the muscles in her hands were a little tense.
Xu Jiaojiao slapped her back twice: "No, I have to reason with him!"
Tong Yao sighed helplessly, feeling that she had been unlucky this year, especially with a lot of gossip.
In the boys' dormitory, if Ren Yue hadn't stopped him, Qin Zhan would have wanted to run to the computer center and cut off the Internet for the entire school.
"Such a blatant rumor is simply too much!" After the initial contact, Qin Zhan had already drawn Tong Yao to his territory and had a heart for her. Now someone was looking for trouble with her, how could he tolerate it?
"Calm down, as long as someone did it, we can definitely find out who it is. You're going to cut off the internet now, and the internet for the entire school. Aren't you just asking for trouble? Even if you're favored by the teacher, you'll definitely be punished later." Ren Yue advised.
"When I find out who did it, I will make sure he is punished!" Qin Zhan was furious.
Ren Yue shuddered unconsciously - Qin Zhan had a lot of bad intentions, and only those who received it knew it.
Ren Yue hurriedly tried to comfort him, and after he calmed down, he said jokingly, "After all these years, I finally see you so anxious again. It's so rare."
Qin Zhan rolled his eyes at Ren Yue and laughed, "I remember you are very familiar with the president of the Computer Science Student Union. Please check the IP address of the poster for me."
Ren Yue jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and stayed away from Qin Zhan: "I don't have any friendship with him at all! But you, you just criticized someone at the debate the day before yesterday, and now you want me to beg him? How inhumane! No matter how well you plan, I won't go!"
"Not going?"
"I will never go. I would rather die than surrender!"
"Oh, I suddenly remembered that I haven't called Zhuo Yan back yet."
"Wait...wait a minute! Why is it her again? Want to destroy me and my girlfriend again? Didn't we exchange conditions last time?"
"You think too much. She is from the computer department, and I just asked her for a favor. But if she asks me about your current boyfriend again, you know... it would be inhumane for me to refuse again."
Ren Yue hugged his thighs and cried bitterly, "Brother Qin, I was wrong... Please delete her phone number! I'll go!"
"Wouldn't that be inhumane of me?"
"No, handsome Qin, you are the kindest man in the world!"
While Ren Yue was crying, Qin Zhan readily deleted Zhuo Yan's contact information, then returned to his computer desk and concentrated on planning how to debunk the rumors and fight back.
No matter how bloody the BBS was, Tong Yao remained calm and seemed unaffected. What really surprised her was seeing Qin Zhan in the elective class.
"What a coincidence?" Tong Yao was grateful for his help before. She remembered his appearance and took the initiative to say hello.
Qin Zhan smiled reservedly: "Unfortunately, I'm waiting for you."
Tong Yao got goosebumps all over her body: "Are you... reciting the lines?"
Why not follow the routine? Oh, no, it's my "ideal type" that's different...
Qin Zhan guessed her thoughts and raised his eyebrows: "My roommates have been watching this TV series , and I am not immune to it."
Tong Yao laughed and couldn't help but praise: "This line is well written. Even if it is separated from the background of this drama, just thinking about the scene where the hero and heroine meet, it feels very beautiful."
Qin Zhan felt very bitter. Tong Yao asked him if he was reciting the lines, and he should have taken the opportunity to confess his feelings! Now he had no choice but to make up for the loss...
"Actually, I took this elective course because of you. I just said..." It was a coincidence that I was waiting for her, and I was sincere about it. However, when he looked at Tong Yao's indifferent smile, the second half of the sentence seemed to be stuck in his throat.
"No wonder I saw you here when this elective course was almost over. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Tong Yao asked.
Qin Zhan was choked by his own saliva and coughed until tears came out. Tong Yao handed him tissues and unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, which met the criteria of a... boyfriend.
In this situation, Qin Zhan couldn't say anything to express his feelings.
Let's find a better time! He consoled himself silently, and then got to the point: "I saw the post on the BBS."
Tong Yao stared at him with eyes wide open.
"No, I'm not gossiping. Ren Yue saw it and told me." Qin Zhan distanced himself from the matter without blinking. "Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that someone is maliciously attacking you. The method is nasty and uncivilized."
Tong Yao said self-deprecatingly: "The world is going downhill. I am so pure, upright and beautiful, but I am being criticized like this."
What should I do? My "ideal type" is so cute!
Qin Zhan was so obsessed that he wanted to tell the world about it, but he also wanted to collect Tong Yao's every smile and look at it by himself every day. He solemnly promised: "I will help you find the real murderer and give you justice."
"Then I have to thank you first! It's timely relief!" Tong Yao said with a smile, "But don't take it too seriously. It's just a waste of your time. I still believe that rumors stop with the wise."
"It's good to be kind, but you can't let them hurt you like this." Qin Zhan could hear her indifference, and he disagreed but didn't argue. He could explain the so-called cyber violence and its harm after he had resolved the matter satisfactorily.
The two talked for a while and then went to class.
Tong Yao took the physical education class, a new trial course offered by P University, which mainly trains basic postures: sitting, standing, walking, and lying. Because she had practiced martial arts since she was young, she was flexible and had good balance, so she learned it easily. But it was hard for Qin Zhan. At the critical moment, his otaku attributes that he had always been unshakable were exposed: even if he just turned around, he could hear his joints cracking.
Two people worked in a group, helping each other. Qin Zhan was extremely happy at first, but he regretted it during the training and deeply lamented that he had brought shame upon himself.
It would be fine if he was just a otaku, but he even went to Tong Yao and revealed his shortcomings. Isn't he the dumbest person in the world?
Tong Yao kicked the railing with her foot and did the leg stretching movement with great ease. However, Qin Zhan's face turned pale when he kicked the railing and he could no longer move.
“What are you…doing?”
"I've sprained my ankle before, so I have to take it slow." Qin Zhan tried hard to hold back the wails in his heart.
"Oh. How about I help you a little?" Tong Yao tapped his thigh gently, and he bent a little uncontrollably and couldn't help but let out a low cry.
Tong Yao hurriedly supported him: "Pain? If pain is rated on a 10-point scale, what level do you think it is now?"
"Level six, right?"
“What’s the most painful level?”
"Uh... a needle stuck in your finger?"
"Then you shouldn't have any problem, just take some rest. You know, the most painful thing is childbirth for a mother..." Tong Yao held him steadily and waited for him to slowly put his legs down.
Qin Zhan leaned on Tong Yao's shoulder and smelled the pleasant perfume on her body. His heart started beating uncontrollably and he even felt a little dizzy for a moment.
Tong Yao misunderstood and apologized, "It's my fault. I thought it wouldn't be a problem if my foot was sprained before, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. I have some very useful activating oil, I'll give it to you some time."
"Thank you so much!" Although his performance was a bit poor, Qin Zhan said he gained a lot from being able to be so close to his "ideal type" and having topics for further communication.
Before leaving, he promised again: "I will deal with the post on the BBS and let the other party give you a reasonable explanation."
Tong Yao could only smile and respond: "Thank you for your hard work. I will wait for good news."
Tong Yao originally thought that Qin Zhan was just talking, but she didn't expect that the post on the forum would be deleted that day.
Xu Jiaojiao, who has been following this matter, asked: "I contacted the BBS administrator before, but he ignored me. Did you, Yaoyao, find someone to handle it?"
Tong Yao also looked confused. After thinking for a long time, she said, "I met Qin Zhan in my elective class today. He said he would help me deal with it. Could it be him?"
"Oh my, it's my idol!" Xu Jiaojiao laughed twice with an ambiguous tone and closed her laptop . "Then I'm relieved. Let's see what he can do."
Tong Yao said she didn't understand it at all.
Two days later, the school posted a notice criticizing Zeng Yiji for posting slanderous messages against his classmates, which was a violation of student ethics.
When we connect it with the previous posts slandering Tong Yao, we can immediately conclude the relationship between the two - it turns out that it was Zeng Yijie who was behind all this.
As soon as the news came out, the lurkers on the BBS became active again. Someone created a new post titled "A talented man risked his life for his beloved. Look at how well my male god and female god match each other. My mother said the title should be very long."
The original poster: Rumor, if it's false, I'll pay ten times the amount (deleted). It's said that the student affairs office of the school recently received a thousand-word complaint, stating that Zeng ××, a student from the Finance Department, obtained private photos of his classmates by shameless means, uploaded them to the school's public platform, created online rumors, slandered the parties involved, and caused great harm to the parties involved. He should be severely punished and all qualifications for awards and honors should be revoked to serve as a warning to others. Do you think my male god is domineering?
Someone immediately added: The above content is 700 words, and another 300 words state that this behavior has destroyed the campus atmosphere, polluted the campus network environment, caused adverse effects, etc., and strongly demands that the network environment be purified and Zeng ×× be educated on ideology and morality. The male god is sublimated well! If my male god personally conducts ideological and moral education, I would also like to sign up!
What a reversal! So why did Zeng ×× do this?
To reply to the above: Of course it is to facilitate the pairing of male god and female god!
The official is forcing the fans to death. Is it time for the male god and goddess to show some sweets next?
The dog bowl is ready to receive the dog food.
…
After everyone was arguing like this, the original KTV post was also dug out, and someone posted a screenshot and said: Stupid humans, I am smart and I have seen through this a long time ago.
Suddenly it became lively again.
Xu Jiaojiao read through the entries one by one, and her heart was already filled with joy.
She summoned Tong Yao to look at the post: "The Thousand Words Book, the male god is really thoughtful. In fact, I have long suspected that the male god likes you."
Tong Yao said hesitantly: "That's impossible... As the person involved, how could I not know?"
Having said that, she logged into her BBS account for the first time and entered the gossip section. She blushed as she read everyone's messages.
Qin Zhan's words at that time kept echoing in her ears: "I will help you find the real murderer and give you justice." "It's good to be kind, but you can't let them slander you like this."
The eyes are firm and the heart of protection is earnest...
Although Tong Yao was slow most of the time, she was not completely ignorant. Qin Zhan was naturally a good person, and his knowledge and ability were not to be mentioned, but... she had never thought of her boyfriend as a "weakling"! He couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands. Such a weak scholar was really not her hobby... She called Qin Zhan twice and shook her head.
As the night drew to a close, Xu Jiaojiao, who had been scrolling through the posts excitedly, suddenly shouted, "Ah!"
Tong Yao was startled: "What's wrong?"
"I suddenly remembered, where did Zeng Yijie get the pajama party photos? And why did he pick on you? Wasn't it because of Xu Qing? She must have given me the photos! How disgusting!"
"The Xu Qing I knew before was not a very upright person, but she was not someone who would scheme behind people's backs," Tong Yao said angrily. "If she had been so focused on this and felt that I was wrong to interfere, she would have confronted me face to face. But now, this makes me look down on her."
Although the three of them had some bumps in the road during their acquaintance over the past few years, they were generally friendly and supportive of each other. However, Xu Qing's current behavior has undoubtedly completely destroyed the friendship they once had.
"I'll go talk to her tomorrow!" Xu Jiaojiao said angrily.
"If she doesn't come to apologize to us, there's no need for us to rush to find her." Tong Yao said with disgust, "What if people misunderstand that we are bullying her? Wouldn't that just be digging a huge hole for ourselves?"
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't even read the post anymore.
Seeing her like this, Tong Yao said, "It's possible that the 'scumbag' found the photos himself. It would be strange if he didn't use the photos to do evil. Let them be."
"Yeah." Xu Jiaojiao replied, but she thought to herself that if she got the chance, she would definitely ask for clarification.
When Tong Yao saw Qin Zhan again in the elective class, for some reason, she remembered what Xu Jiaojiao once said, "In fact, I have long suspected that my male god likes you."
She shook her head and greeted the other person first: "Thanks to you for the 'scumbag' thing! I thought it would be impossible to find out who posted that kind of post."
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself." Qin Zhan smiled slightly, "Don't be polite, it's just a small favor."
"Is it just a piece of cake to write a thousand-character book?" Tong Yao blurted out without thinking.
Qin Zhan felt a little embarrassed for some reason: "Seeing injustice?"
The topic of KTV is really going to be a one-year topic... Tong Yao blushed and smiled, "I didn't expect that singing that song was to set up the foreshadowing for today."
Qin Zhan saw the opportunity and said, "Isn't this what is called fate? Not a step earlier, not a step later, we just bumped into each other, which is to say, 'So you are here too.'" He felt a stir in his heart.
The lines I prepared for many days were finally used today!
"No wonder they all say you are a talented person in the Department of Finance. Your reputation is well-deserved." Tong Yao bowed her hands in admiration. "Is your foot better? Do you still need care for your physical education class today?"
Qin Zhan was speechless after being asked this question, wailing in his heart for having once again lost a good opportunity.
Last time he limped back and was laughed at by Ren Yue. In order to avenge his previous shame, he practiced privately for a long time. Fortunately, he was young, and now he could put his legs on the railing and do the leg stretching movements easily. Today, of course, he had to save face. So Qin Zhan did the warm-up exercises and said confidently: "Let's walk."
If Qin Zhan knew from the beginning that the teaching content of each class was different, he would definitely be more reserved and do more homework. However, who would have thought that the content of this class was splits?
Qin Zhan, a student who was very concerned about his reputation, was "extremely careless" and within ten minutes of the class, he naturally... became "crippled" and sat down on the ground.
"Do you need...help?" Tong Yao asked hesitantly.
"No, no need. I want to change to the vertical splits." Qin Zhan refused, and then for the remaining thirty-five minutes, he sat on the ground with his legs crossed in a very indecent manner, responding to Tong Yao's puzzled gaze with a smile, and while no one was paying attention, he slowly closed his legs while enduring the severe pain.
But it was a blessing in disguise, as he had an extremely good opportunity to look at Tong Yao - every time he looked at her, he liked her more. When Tong Yao suddenly looked at him, he quickly looked away, pretending to be practicing martial arts seriously.
The good news is that before the get out of class ended he successfully stood up with the help of the railing, and leaned leisurely on the windowsill, posing in a handsome manner.
Tong Yao glanced at him every few minutes and always felt that there was something meaningful in his actions.
Unexpectedly, he didn't do the vertical splits again until the end of the get out of class.
"Are you okay?" Tong Yao asked while wiping the sweat off her face.
"Very good." Qin Zhan waved at her, "I have an appointment, I'm waiting for him here. See you later."
"Oh, see you later." Tong Yao thought, there must be something wrong.
Not long after Tong Yao left, Ren Yue, who was called urgently, appeared, smiling all the way: "It is true that there is always someone stronger than you. Since you met Tong Yao, I have experienced many firsts. For example, Qin Daxian actually encountered the 'Sorrows of Young Werther', for example, he boasted of high EQ but kept breaking the IQ limit, and for example, the hopeless otaku actually took a body shape class and was injured again and again..."
"You talk too much nonsense!" Even though his arm was supported by someone, Qin Zhan maintained a high attitude.
"Master Qin, let me tell you, I have tolerated you for many days. If you come against me again, believe it or not, I will throw you here?" Ren Yue became more and more excited as he spoke.
Qin Zhan said nothing more.
Ren Yue thought he was scared, and kept on talking: "I should have taught you a lesson long ago. For you, I left my girlfriend aside again! She started to suspect that I had someone else, and you were just my excuse..." Ren Yue's arm was pinched, and he raised his head angrily, "You can't even talk about it? If we break up, it will definitely be because of you!"
Qin Zhan had a stiff face and didn't even look at him.
Ren Yue followed Qin Zhan's line of sight and saw Tong Yao standing outside the door.
"My classmate Ren Yue told you about this before." Qin Zhan was the first to break the silence.
Tong Yao looked at the two of them and said, "I guess you might be feeling unwell, so I came back to see you. Did you get hurt doing the splits?"
"You actually did the splits?" Ren Yue looked at Qin Zhan in shock.
Qin Zhan was immersed in his own world: Tong Yao came back again, because she cared about him, right? It must be!
He said with some embarrassment of being exposed: "It's not a big problem, I just may need to take a break."
"Oh..." Tong Yao nodded, "I'm glad there's nothing wrong. I'll be leaving now."
"Tong Yao!" Qin Zhan heard some displeasure in her tone and quickly called her.
"ah?"
"I didn't tell you because I was worried that you couldn't support me..." Qin Zhan explained. Could he say that it was because he was afraid of being too embarrassed?
Tong Yao smiled and said, "Can I hold someone like you?"
As soon as the words came out, Qin Zhan seemed to see pink bubbles all over the world.
Tong Yao realized the embarrassment and quickly looked away, but Qin Zhan was already ecstatic.
Ren Yue was unwilling to show his presence: "How about you guys continue chatting? I'm going to go and comfort my girlfriend!"
Tong Yao came back to her senses and waved her hands quickly: "No, no, I'm leaving first. I have class next period."
Before Qin Zhan could even say "see you later" the other person had already run away.
"Can't you just say less and quietly serve as a background wall at this time?" Qin Zhan was extremely angry.
Ren Yue felt very aggrieved: "I really wanted to hand you over to her, but who knew that I would scare her away... Come to think of it, you have been pursuing her for so long, why is there no progress at all?"
"As a qualified human crutch, can you be quiet for a while?" Qin Zhan asked.
"Have you ever seen such a highly intelligent humanoid crutch? It can sing, chat, and relieve boredom..." Ren Yue resisted, but eventually succumbed to Qin Zhan's power and fell silent.
Qin Zhan felt puzzled when he learned that Tong Yao had joined a club called "Welfare Club".
When he found out from Baidu that this word means "convenience store" in Taiwan, he felt relieved.
Maybe the members of the community donate some small items for charity sale, and then use the money to do something meaningful, such as feeding stray animals.
This explanation sounds quite reasonable.
But he subconsciously didn't want to discuss his thoughts with Ren Yue.
Just in case, Qin Zhan made many preparations: he bought a bag full of snacks and brought a mobile hard drive filled with various resources, from language learning to animation and novels, with a content so vast that it was breathtaking.
After gathering at the school gate, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw other people's backpacks full of stuff, thinking he had made the right choice. When he saw Tong Yao, he joked with great interest: "Life is full of encounters."
Tong Yao sighed: "It may also be that our school is too small."
"What a coincidence." Qin Zhan just smiled, followed her into the car, and sat steadily next to her.
Tong Yao said: "This time we went to a nursing home. I used to go there often. The elderly people there were very kind..."
Qin Zhan tried his best to control his expression, but he couldn't help wondering: What's going on? What does the welfare club have to do with going to the nursing home?
Although his heart was already surging, in order to appear less ignorant, he tried his best to keep smiling and nodding from time to time, with an expression of "I understand". He couldn't... say that when he applied to join the club, he didn't know what your club was, right?
"Grandma Chang is almost ninety this year. She is the oldest one and is still in good health. She has been to the battlefield and made many contributions with the army back then..." Tong Yao enthusiastically introduced the elderly people in the nursing home to him one by one.
Qin Zhan dismissed the messy thoughts in his mind and listened to her carefully. He couldn't hide his pride in his heart: My "ideal type" is really beautiful, kind, and awesome! As for when she can become his girlfriend, he thought, now it's just a matter of time.
It took nearly two hours to get from the school to the nursing home. They chatted animatedly along the way. Qin Zhan saw the right opportunity and secretly took out some beef jerky from his backpack: "Try it."
Tong Yao accepted it with a smile.
Qin Zhan saw that Tong Yao was happy to accept it, so he couldn't stop. Pumpkin seeds, plums, onion rings... until he took out the lollipop, Tong Yao couldn't help asking: "Why did you bring so much food?"
Qin Zhan was silent for a moment, then said, "The journey is quite long, so it's always good to prepare some food."
Tong Yao nodded and praised: "Thoughtful."
If Qin Zhan had a tail, he would have been swinging it around in great joy.
When you are well fed and warm, you want to sleep. As the two chatted, their voices became much quieter, and not long after, Tong Yao actually leaned her head against Qin Zhan's shoulder and fell asleep.
Qin Zhan's whole body suddenly stiffened.
He wanted to touch Tong Yao's hair, but was afraid of waking her up. After struggling for a while, he finally touched her long hair hanging by her ears, but accidentally touched her face. He hastily withdrew his hand, and his heart was beating like a drum.
She must have just washed her hair. Qin Zhan could smell the pleasant fragrance when he tilted his head slightly, and immediately felt the numbness in his shoulders gradually fade away.
He turned on his phone, took a sneaky selfie, and put it into an encrypted album.
Whenever I see this photo in the future, I will remember the joy in my heart at that moment...
Tong Yao slept soundly and did not wake up until the car stopped. Qin Zhan's shoulders had lost all feeling and were extremely stiff.
"You can just wake me up or push me to the window!" Tong Yao pinched his shoulders with some shame. Her hands were always strong, and Qin Zhan felt it with just one push.
Qin Zhan was so happy that he smiled at her and said, "It's okay. At least one of us can sleep well."
Tong Yao shook her head in disapproval, but couldn't think of any way to compensate for it, so she decided in her mind to take him with her today.
The welfare agency had already made arrangements with the nursing home, and the old ladies had already prepared recitations and old-age dances. On weekdays, they practiced dancing by themselves, without an audience, so they inevitably felt a little lonely. It was rare for someone to come and see them, so they wanted to show off all their skills.
Qin Zhan was not afraid of this kind of scene when he first saw it. He was handsome and eloquent when necessary, and the old people were soon amused by him. He multitasked, chatting with everyone while looking at Tong Yao.
Tong Yao supported Grandma Chang as they walked slowly. They talked as they walked, and Tong Yao would occasionally glance back unnoticeably.
Grandma Chang asked: "Is that boy your classmate?"
Tong Yao nodded: "Yes, this is his first time to come to our hospital."
"The young man is very good." Grandma Chang patted her hands, "When you meet the right person, you should seize the opportunity."
Tong Yao blushed, which was rare. "Grandma Chang, he's not my type."
Grandma Chang looked at her steadily and patted her shoulder: "That's okay, take your time."
The last task after the nursing home was to trim the grass and weeds in the yard. When everyone opened their backpacks and took out gloves, Qin Zhan was stunned. In his backpack... there were still a lot of snacks and a mobile hard drive, but where could he find gloves?
Seeing that everyone was taking action, Qin Zhan walked straight towards Tong Yao: "You take a rest, I will take your place."
Tong Yao waved her hand and said, "How about you help me pick up the leaves?"
In any case, Qin Zhan has found a job that suits him.
"Isn't your bag full of food?" Tong Yao asked quietly.
Qin Zhan asked subconsciously: "Are you hungry?"
Tong Yao shook her head: "Could it be that they informed us wrongly, saying we were going to an orphanage? You took so many snacks, so it only makes sense that we were going to an orphanage."
What about the orphanage? Qin Zhan bent over and acquiesced to the answer.
"No wonder. The president is a little unreliable sometimes..." Tong Yao almost laughed out loud again.
Qin Zhan stuffed the hard drive that was about to fall out of his backpack back in and silently zipped it up.
He decided to keep this secret in his heart forever.
