On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

"Watch what I do first." Chen Mo turned his head and whispered to Su Yuqing, who was still a little tense and trying to adjust her breathing. His voice was calm and reassuring.

After all, it's normal to feel fear and nervous when experiencing something like this for the first time.

Su Yuqing nodded and quietly moved closer to Chen Mo, almost touching his back. As long as she was close to him, she wouldn't be afraid or nervous about anything.

Feeling Su Yuqing gently pressing against his left side, Chen Mo turned to look at her, gave her an encouraging look, and then began to do it himself.

None of the others in the group had the guts of him; they all just watched as Chen Mo took action alone.

Soon, Chen Mo quickly completed his assigned tasks with almost expert skill.

Everyone around him looked at him with surprise, admiring how he could get into the zone so well during his first physical anatomy class.

"Alright, Yuqing, you can try it now." Chen Mo stepped back and gently pulled Su Yuqing forward.

"Where...where do I begin?" Su Yuqing was still somewhat at a loss.

Chen Mo pointed his fingertip at the edge of the target area, referring to the anatomical atlas that Su Yuqing was clutching tightly, and said, "Your assigned task should start with identifying the boundaries of the deep fascia. Professor Wang said that finding the correct layer is key. Pay attention to the changes in resistance from the instrument."

Su Yuqing nodded vigorously as instructed, focusing all her attention on the location Chen Mo pointed to.

She imitated Chen Mo, first gently touching the tissue with tweezers to feel its texture.

When she picked up the scalpel and felt its cold touch and the heavy responsibility that might be attached to it in the future, her palms became slightly sweaty.

Chen Mo, standing to the side, gave instructions on angle and pressure in a very low voice: "Relax your wrist, control it with your wrist strength, not your whole arm... Yes, just like that, gently slice it open..."

Under his guidance, Su Yuqing carefully made her first cut.

The blade smoothly separated the tissue, revealing the muscle fibers underneath.

"How was it? Not too difficult, right? But you have to be careful. If you're performing surgery on a real person, you can't make a single mistake. Luckily, your hands are still very steady." Seeing that Su Yuqing had done a good job, Chen Mo immediately smiled and offered some encouragement.

At that moment, the tension and unease in her heart were gradually replaced by an unprecedented sense of solemnity and accomplishment as she personally unveiled the mysteries of life.

She looked up at Chen Mo, her expression showing a hint of excitement.

Professor Wang and a teaching assistant happened to be patrolling their group.

Professor Wang nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, as he watched Chen Mo's steady guidance and Su Yuqing's seemingly inexperienced but extremely serious operation.

He didn't interrupt, but whispered to the teaching assistant, "This group is good, their foundation is very solid."

Then they moved on to the next group of students who needed more help.

This first hands-on anatomy lesson ended in an atmosphere of solemnity, rigor, and a mix of frustration at initial mistakes and joy at success under guidance.

After the event, many people clasped their hands together in apology to the cadavers.

The main problem is that they inevitably make mistakes when cutting, accidentally marking areas they shouldn't. If it were a real person, they would be in a very bad position.

Even towards the cadavers, they felt guilty for not doing a good job and for making mistakes.

Those who did not make a mistake also bowed again to express their gratitude to the cadavers.

Only then was the class truly over.

As soon as it ended, many people began to thoroughly disinfect and wash their hands. Even so, long after leaving the classroom, everyone still felt a lingering odor in their noses and on their bodies.

Compared to the seriousness, rigor, and busyness of medical science, participating in club activities is a completely different world.

Fortunately, there are club activities that can help everyone relax. Otherwise, if everyone were to be bombarded with high-intensity medical knowledge every day, even top students would find it a bit overwhelming.

After a long period of training, Wang Lan's basketball skills became increasingly refined during the new and old students' match in the basketball club. He moved around the court like a dynamic cheetah.

During a crucial attack, he was double-teamed by two opponents and was about to make a mistake when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure quietly cutting into the penalty area.

It was Chen Mo! Wang Lan passed the ball without hesitation. Chen Mo caught the ball, jumped, and shot in one smooth motion, and the basketball went into the net.

"Great shot!" Wang Lan excitedly rushed over and hugged Chen Mo. "Old Mo, you're my lucky star!"

Chen Mo pushed him away helplessly, but her face also showed a happy smile after exercising.

The tacit understanding on the court deepened the friendship among the roommates.

This also made the cheerleaders cheer excitedly.

……

The photography club organized an autumn campus photo shoot.

Shen Xinghe was naturally the focus, and besides being a model, he also took some landscape photos himself.

He was a professional model, but he was even more professional at taking photos. In his camera, the withered sycamore leaves, the shimmering lake surface, and the ivy on the ancient buildings all carried a kind of cold yet gentle poetry.

Holding an entry-level DSLR camera, Zhao Ya awkwardly adjusted the settings, trying to capture the veins of the ginkgo leaves under the sunlight.

Shen Xinghe had walked up to her without her noticing.

"The light is too strong, and details will be lost." He said calmly, reaching out to adjust a few parameters for her. "Try this."

Following his instructions, Zhao Ya refocused, and the world in the viewfinder instantly became clear and full of detail.

She pressed the shutter and captured the translucent texture of the golden ginkgo leaves against the backlight, with the veins resembling golden blood vessels.

"It's so beautiful! Xinghe, you're so professional!" She turned her head with delight, her smile radiant.

Shen Xinghe was slightly taken aback when he saw her undisguised joy and admiration. He then looked away and simply hummed in agreement, his ears turning slightly red.

Zhou Yue happened to capture this moment with a telephoto lens. In the photo, the cool profile of the boy and the bright smile of the girl form the most touching scenery in autumn.

……

When Chen Mo's basketball team has free time, they often go here to help Su Yuqing. This time, they conducted a community free clinic.

An elderly woman with high blood pressure held Su Yuqing's hand, chatting incessantly about everyday matters and complaining about her various physical discomforts.

Su Yuqing showed no impatience whatsoever, listening patiently and explaining the precautions in a soft voice using the knowledge she had just learned, while measuring her blood pressure with extremely gentle movements.

Only after the old lady left did Su Yuqing whisper to Chen Mo with a wistful look in her eyes, "If Grandma were still alive, I might be able to check on her health." (End of Chapter)
