Half-baked

17
They stared at each other for about ten seconds.
I miss being defeated.

"Just hug me for a moment," she bit her lip, emphasizing, "Just for a moment."

Duan Huai'an chuckled with an ambiguous tone, "Come here."

I still miss it but I am not happy about it.
Duan Huai'an certainly couldn't stand her hesitation, so he walked down the stairs in two steps and effortlessly pulled Huai Nian into his arms. Due to the height difference, his chin just rubbed against her head, and his nose could smell the scent of her hair.
It tastes just like him.
Cool cedar mixed with sandalwood.

We hugged for only a few seconds.

The miss in his arms became restless, twisting and pushing, and urged him in a bad tone: "Are you done?"
Her whole body was resisting, and the fabric of her down jacket was rubbing against each other, making a rustling sound.
"Don't move." Duan Huai'an's hand around her waist suddenly tightened, his lips straightened, and he whispered, "If you move again, do you believe I will kiss you here?"

The nostalgia moment stopped moving.

Through one floor, I could hear the sound of footsteps in the distance, the voices of students, and the whistling wind blowing in through the cracks.
I missed being held in his arms, and I was nervous and scared: "How long are you going to hold me?"
"Hold me until the bell rings." His Adam's apple rolled out a smile, and he said in a nonchalant tone, "How about not going to class? Just skip class."

"No." Huai Nian rarely responded firmly, and said solemnly, "You can't skip class."

My girlfriend is a good student with excellent character and academic performance, which is sometimes not a good thing.

Duan Huaian raised his wrist watch and looked at it. There was only one minute left before class started.
He was finally willing to let go of her arms. Almost as soon as he let go, before he could even finish the words "Go to class and listen to the class well", he saw Huai Nian running downstairs without any reluctance.

Never looking back.
Not even a "goodbye".

Duan Huaian clicked his tongue, and the emotion emanating from his eyes and brows was even more fierce than the cold wind outside.

the other side.

Huai Nian hurried downstairs.
The classroom where she had classes was on the fifth floor, and the door was very close to the stairs.
Walking up the stairs from the sixth floor to the fifth floor, Huai Nian raised her eyes slightly and noticed someone standing at the door of the classroom looking around, and she subconsciously slowed down her pace.

The man glanced sideways and saw Hua Nian coming down from upstairs.
"Hi!" He greeted her in a familiar manner, "What a coincidence, meeting you here."

Huai Nian looked at him in confusion: "Shang Jingze, why are you here?"

Shang Jingze scratched his head. "I heard that Professor Chen's class is very interesting. It just so happens that I don't have any class this afternoon, so I'll come and take Professor Chen's class."
He has a very clean and refreshing appearance, and it is hard to doubt the truthfulness of his words.
In university classrooms, it is very common to attend classes for free, but Shang Jingze is probably the only one who attends the Ideological and Political Theory class for free.

Shang Jingze touched the tip of his nose, his movement was very unnatural, he coughed and said, "It's just, quite a coincidence."

"..." Missing helplessness, "You don't have to--"
"——Duan Huai'an!"
He was interrupted by Shang Jingze when he was halfway through his words.

Shang Jingze waved his hand in the direction where Huai Nian was standing. When Huai Nian heard the name he just called out, her heart skipped a beat.

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, but the longing never turns back.
It seemed as if there was wind blowing in from all directions, surging and sweeping towards her, carrying with it a biting chill.
In the peripheral vision, the first thing that appeared was a black coat, and then Duan Huai'an's back.

He stopped between Shang Jingze and Huai Nian, blocking the line of sight between Shang Jingze and Huai Nian.

I can only see Duan Huaian’s dark back.
And that part of his white neck.

Shang Jingze: "What a coincidence, you are also taking classes here?"
Duan Huaian nodded lightly.
Shang Jingze: "Which classroom are you in?"
Duan Huai'an: "604."
Shang Jingze: "I'm next to you, 606."

"606," Duan Huai'an chuckled. Before leaving, he turned around and glanced at Nostalgia in an unpredictable way. "It's quite a coincidence."

"..."

Fortunately, the class bell rang at this time.
Huai Nian lowered his head and ran into the classroom.

She arrived just as the bell for class started. She didn't dare look around for a seat, and was afraid that Shang Jingze would sit next to her and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. She glanced at the empty aisle seat in the fourth row and sat down immediately.
Shang Jingze, who followed her into the classroom, didn't expect that Huaian was still as resolute as before. He scratched his head and looked for another empty seat with regret.

The classroom was very quiet, with only the voice of the teacher talking.

Huai Nian seemed to be listening to the class attentively, but in fact his mind was full of Duan Huaian's half-smile just now.

Hey.
I have to coax him again when I get home.

at the same time.
Classrooms separated by a wall.

Duan Huaian was sitting in the second to last row, holding a cell phone in his hand. He flipped through it and then put it down.
After a while, the phone vibrated in his palm. He raised his eyebrows slightly, saw who the caller was, and then lowered his eyes lazily.

Chi Jingting: [So boring. ]
Chi Jingting: [I really want to fall in love. ]
Chi Jingting: [Please ask your Huai Nian for me, what month is it, when is she free, I will treat her to a meal.] Duan Huai'an was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Chi Jingting did not give up until he got a reply: [Why don’t you speak? ]
Chi Jingting: [Can you please take care of me? ]
Chi Jingting: [Can you comfort your brother's fragile heart? ]

Duan Huai'an: [Go to class.]
Duan Huai'an: [Don't bother me.]

Chi Jingting: [? ]
Chi Jingting: [Is it important to have your buddies’ feelings in class? ]
Chi Jingting: [I don’t care, please ask Huai Nian right now]
Chi Jingting: [You don’t ask me! Ask yourself! ]

Duan Huai'an's eyes finally showed some movement: [I'm in class, I'll talk to you later.]

Chi Jingting: [I really can't stand your petty attitude. I'm just chatting with Huai Nian, but you're jealous. I'm spoiling you, but if you don't like me chatting with Huai Nian, I won't chat with her. Look, where can you find a good buddy who spoils you so much?]

Duan Huai'an: [Can you shut up? ]
Chi Jingting: [Oh.]

Chi Jingting was quiet for a while, but couldn't help but ask: [When do you finish class? ]
Duan Huai'an said impatiently: [I'll call you.]
-
There are three classes in the clinical medicine major, with less than 100 students. We have been taking professional and public courses together for more than two years, and everyone is familiar with each other. Suddenly, a stranger came in. He was quite handsome. After a closer look, he turned out to be the campus idol of the business school. Everyone's already impetuous hearts in the public courses became even more eager.

The school forum was very lively a while ago, and the post [Did Shang Jingze catch up with Nostalgia today?] was pushed to the top.
The latest reply is a few blurry candid photos.

There are three people in the picture, but everyone's attention is focused on Huai Nian and Shang Jingze.

Some say that Shang Jingze finally caught up with Huai Nian, while others say that they are having an affair.
There were some faint doubts in the middle.
"It's obvious in the photo. Huai Nian and Duan Huai'an are standing closer."
"And if Huai Nian and Shang Jingze were flirting, shouldn't Shang Jingze's co-pilot seat be given to Huai Nian? Everyone knows what the co-pilot seat means, but Duan Huai'an sat on Shang Jingze's co-pilot seat."
"What do you mean? Did we make a mistake? In fact, the killer of Nanjing University and the handsome boy of the Business School are a couple?"
"..."

The topic gradually went off track, and then was brought back to the main topic.
But the post has only been updated with a photo of Huai Nian and Shang Jingze that day, and has not been updated since then. So everyone gradually put away their curiosity.

Unexpectedly, a person from the business school sneaked into the place where the clinical class was held.

The gossipy glances coming from all directions almost burn the back of nostalgia.

Even though I missed my roommates who skipped classes, they all sent me greetings.

Jing Yue: [What’s going on? ]
Zhu Yutong: [Are you really together with him? ]
Xu Fu said: [It looks like he is shamelessly pestering you. ]

Miss sent a wry smile.

Zhu Yutong: [If we had known earlier, we would have gone to class. ]
Jing Yue: [He really is still a thief with evil intentions. ]
Xu Fu: [If I were a man, I would also pester my family. ]

I miss this moment so much that I can't even smile bitterly.

Fortunately, during the ten-minute break, someone came to Huai Nian to ask questions about professional courses. The other party was dithering, and after Huai Nian finished speaking, she did not leave, and half of her body was lying on Huai Nian's desk.
I miss blinking and having a confused look on your face.
"I promised Xu Fu that I would make full use of your time after class and not let any other men out there take advantage of me!" The other party looked as if he was ready to sacrifice himself.

Huai Nian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and whispered, "Thank you."

It was not until the class bell rang that the other person slowly returned to his seat.
The forty-minute class ended quickly and Huaiang was packing up his things.
Because the people sitting inside wanted to come out, Huai Nian stood up to make room for them. Many people passed by in the aisle, and soon the classroom was empty.

Only she and Shang Jingze, who was sitting quietly, were left.

Shang Jingze walked up to Huai Nian, but before he could say anything, there were two knocks on the main door of the classroom.

The two of them followed the sound.
I saw Duan Huaian standing by the door, holding a mobile phone in one hand and the other hand slowly falling down after he had just knocked on the door.
He looked indifferent, staring at the young man and woman standing face to face in front of him. He spoke in a cold voice, "Miss you, Chi Jingting is looking for you."

Chi Jingting, who was whining on the other end of the phone, was stunned. "...I am looking for Huai Nian, but didn't you say you would pass it on?"

Duan Huai'an seemed to be doing his job of conveying the message seriously. After Chi Jingting finished speaking, he said seriously and nostalgically, "Chi Jingting asked you, when are we going to have dinner together?"

Chi Jingting: “?”

Miss you didn't say anything.
On the contrary, Shang Jingze judged from Duan Huaian's tone that the relationship between them was extraordinary.
"You two, are you familiar with each other?" Shang Jingze asked, "Did you meet when you were riding in my car?"

"No," Huai Nian was afraid that Duan Huai'an would say something earth-shattering and soul-stirring, so she spoke first, "Duan Huai'an and I were high school classmates."
"My deskmate." Duan Huai'an said calmly, paused for two seconds, and then added, "Two years."
"..."

Shang Jingze glanced at Duan Huai'an's face and asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

"Such a small matter——" Duan Huai'an's nonchalant tone, coupled with the cold and arrogant aura emanating from him, gave off a sense of contempt and indifference. However, the next second, he completed the second half of the sentence, "I'm too lazy to show off."
