After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

hmmmm?

What did he say?

Do you like her?

So, is he confessing his feelings to her?!

Lin Xuechun's mind went blank, as if someone had pressed the pause button, and all her thoughts were cut off in that instant.

She stared at him with wide eyes, her gaze filled with disbelief. She was completely dazed and confused, like a kitten suddenly picked up, its limbs dangling in the air, not yet realizing what had happened.

"Can I pursue you?" His eyes were like a flame flickering in the abyss.

Lin Xuechun's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Her heart was pounding in her chest, each thud louder than the last, so loud that she felt he must have heard it too.

Her entire face flushed, the heat spreading from her cheeks throughout her body.

"I, I, you..."

She was rambling incoherently.

I haven't decided how to reply yet.

She pretended to be busy, picked up the milk, took a sip, swallowed slowly, and then pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth.

Xi Chenzhou had known her for a while and had a general idea of ​​her personality. He knew that she was much more shy in real life than online. His confession today was an impulsive act. He just felt that he had said what he wanted to say without expecting an answer from her.

"It's okay, as long as you don't refuse."

"Let's continue reading your paper."

He manipulated the mouse with his fingers, circling areas for improvement in the document and then annotating them with specific improvement suggestions.

Lin Xuechun glanced at his profile. He was staring intently at the screen, with a high nose bridge, a clear and sharp jawline, and a prominent Adam's apple on his pale neck that occasionally twitched slightly.

His hands, resting on the keyboard, had distinct knuckles, a slightly arched back, and prominent veins. On his wrist was a sturdy black mechanical watch, the dial of which occasionally reflected a cold light as his hands moved.

There's no denying that he's very good-looking.

When she's focused, she exudes a sophisticated sexiness that's very attractive.

She raised her hand and gently touched her cheek; the heat was still very noticeable. Then she looked at Xi Chenzhou, who was focused on writing annotations for her. He was the one who confessed, so why wasn't he affected at all?

He was still able to explain the thesis to her so rationally.

She, on the other hand, didn't hear a single word.

I didn't even read the annotations.

She suddenly understood why her mother didn't allow her to date in middle school; girls are really easily influenced.

If Xi Chenzhou knew what she was thinking, he would definitely tell her that he hadn't really gotten into it either.

His apparent focus was merely a habit, the kind of habit honed through long-term mental training. If she looked closer, she would have noticed that he had misspelled an English word.

"It's finished. Take a look." Xi Chenzhou pushed the notebook closer to her, withdrew his hand, interlaced his fingers, and pressed them together.

"Thank you. You've worked hard. I'll watch it on my computer." Lin Xuechun prepared to get up and return to her previous seat.

"Let's look at it here, it'll make it easier to discuss," Xi Chenzhou said, leaning back and placing his hand on the back of her chair.

His argument was reasonable and well-founded, and indeed, the two of them needed to merge their work and collaborate. Lin Xuechun nodded and didn't move the pen any further.

He adjusted the angle of his laptop screen with both hands, took a subtle breath, cleared his mind of all distractions, and began to concentrate on reading.

Xi Chenzhou leaned back in his chair, looking at her serious little face. A faint smile played at the corners of her lips. From this angle, she really looked exquisite. Her forehead was full and intelligent, her eyelashes were long and curled, like a porcelain doll, her nose was small and round, and her lips were slightly pursed. When she was thinking, she would occasionally bite her lip, looking very conflicted.

"What don't you understand?"

He leaned slightly closer to her, his low voice whispering in her ear, the breath sending a shiver down her spine. Lin Xuechun nervously pinched her earlobe, not daring to turn her head, and kept her eyes glued to the screen, softly asking, "How do I use this software? I'm not very good at it..."

The commonly used software for data analysis is IBM SPSS Statistics, or SPSS for short.

This was Lin Xuechun's first time meeting him.

"I'll teach you."

Xi Chenzhou demonstrated it to her step by step. Actually, he could have helped her complete it, but this data method was very important and practical, and almost all academic papers and assignments used it. He hoped that she could master it so that she could cope even if he wasn't around.

Lin Xuechun was able to get into Peking University, so her academic level must be quite high. In addition, Xi Chenzhou taught her in a way that was both in-depth and easy to understand, so she quickly mastered the methods.

"So that's how it works! I feel incredibly strong now!" She had just learned how and was eager to try it out.

Xi Chenzhou smiled and said, "I'll find you a new set of data to practice with."

"OK!"

Xi Chenzhou opened drive D, found a folder called Statistics, and then opened an Excel file.

"Try this set of data."

"Okay!" Lin Xuechun imported the data into the analysis software and started setting up the variables as he had just taught her.

After a series of operations, the final result was obtained.

She eagerly turned to look at Xi Chenzhou, "Could you check if this result is correct?"

Xi Chenzhou observed and supervised her throughout the process. She followed each step flawlessly, and the result was correct: "Hmm. You've mastered it very well. To reach this level on your first try is impressive."

"Really?" Lin Xuechun's bright, moist almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, as if she still couldn't believe it.

"Yes. Really." Xi Chenzhou confirmed again.

"Wow! I'm so amazing!" Lin Xuechun's eyes and brows were full of excitement. Her almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents, her gaze sparkling with a hint of mischievousness. Her lips were upturned, making her look cute and lively.

"Should we try other analytics software? I have them all installed on my computer."

"OK!"

Xi Chenzhou then taught SPSS Modeler and Python, which were quite difficult. Lin Xuechun only understood a little, and her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

"Don't worry, I'll teach you slowly later. For now, knowing how to use SPSS is enough," Xi Chenzhou comforted her.

"Okay." Lin Xuechun knew that haste makes waste, and that was all she could digest for today.

The two spent the rest of the time discussing and integrating their respective ideas.

Today's tasks are basically complete.

Xi Chenzhou glanced at his watch; it was already 1:30 PM.

"Let's go eat."

"Um."

Lin Xuechun got up to pack her schoolbag.

The two went to take the elevator together. Inside, Lin Xuechun asked him, "What do you want to eat?"

Xi Chenzhou thought for a moment and said, "There's a pretty good shop nearby. I'll take you there."

"Okay. But this meal is on me, you're not allowed to pay."

"Don't worry, I won't fight you for it."

The two walked out of the hotel together.

Across the street from the hotel, a group of people were chatting and laughing as they crossed the road when someone suddenly glanced in their direction.
