We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

"We need the coordinates of the intersection of lines L1 and L2... Did you fall asleep?"

Teacher Chen suddenly raised his voice halfway through his speech, and a piece of chalk hit Yang Kun on the head in the air.

"Take your books and stand at the back to listen to the lecture."

Luckily, they didn't spot me. I don't even dare to yawn during math class anymore; muscular people are just too scary.

Li Mubai opened his eyes wide, forcing himself to stay awake; he had gone to bed a little late the night before.

"Let me emphasize again, don't relax just because the sports meet is coming soon. Your real goal is the college entrance examination. If you're sleepy, take your books and stand at the back to listen to the lesson. Now, let's continue with the questions."

"What did you film yesterday? Review the footage for me."

Li Mubai wanted to check if there were any photos of him in the camera; if so, he would delete them, and if not, he would issue a warning.

"It's nothing, I just took a picture of you dancing gracefully," Chen Qiuhe said proudly.

"Really? Really? Qiuhe, let me see it too." Zhang Chun was also quite interested in the camera.

"Okay, okay, we'll watch secretly, but we won't let Li Mubai see."

...Oh well, I'll just have to embarrass myself in front of even more people anyway.

This isn't my dark history; it's the path I came from.

There are two elective courses in the afternoon.

Sigh, class is starting. I'll find a dance studio to suffer a bit.

Xie Shu stood quietly on one side of the classroom, seemingly on a different level, until Li Mubai and the other person walked up to him.

"Class monitor."

"Um."

She was always so indifferent, giving a simple reply and that was it.

"Squad leader, are we going to continue practicing today?" Li Mubai asked.

"No, we need to reschedule things for you. You should rest first."

What?! You dare to play me? What about all my efforts yesterday?

"OK."

Wang Rui found a seat and sat down. Li Mubai glanced at Xie Shu and felt that he looked rather...lonely.

Let's find an excuse to stay.

"By the way, class monitor, have all the girls filled out the sports event registration forms?"

"There are still a few missing. I'll give you the forms tomorrow morning after you've filled them out, and the boys can fill them out."

"Okay, after filling it out, should I just hand it to Teacher Wu?"

"Leave it to me, I'll take it to Teacher Wu."

"No...it's okay, class monitor, I'll do it."

Feeling that this wasn't enough, Li Mubai added, "We're just missing a boy."

"Okay, thank you."

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Li Mubai muttered softly.

The air quieted down... what else was there to talk about?

"Squad leader, what are you doing here all alone?"

...What question did I ask?

"Excuse me, I'm going to rest now."

Li Mubai hurriedly tried to make amends, and then jogged back to Wang Rui.

"Snap!"

The camera shutter was pressed.

"What were you talking about with Xie Shu just now?" Wang Rui asked.

"About sports."

Fortunately, I had an excuse.

"Oh, when do we register?"

"Girls can fill out the forms and apply tomorrow."

"That's fine, but the boys in the humanities class are really suffering. We do all the dirty and tiring work, and now we don't even have time to relax during the sports meet."

"You could go to Southeast Asia to change your personality," Li Mubai joked.

"What about my partner?"

"Be my best friend."

"Get lost."

"Look, you're in such a hurry again."

Am I in a hurry?

……

"Li Mubai, Wang Rui."

Deng Yi is here, I guess we'll have to rearrange things, ugh, all my time has been wasted.

"It's like this, I watched your dance yesterday and rearranged some moves to suit you better, I'm really sorry."

"It's nothing, it's just contributing to the class."

"There are no new moves added. Except that you don't have to jump along, you just need to hold up the scroll and follow Xie Shu at the beginning and end."

That's great, at least I don't have to "pose" anymore.

"Then, we haven't finished rehearsing yet. When we have a full rehearsal, we can bring out the props for you to try out, so you can take a break for now."

"OK."

Maybe I really should get a vocabulary book and start memorizing words.

"Why are you resting again? Get up and get back to work." Chen Qiuhe walked over with her camera in her arms.

"What kind of work do I do?"

Keep fiddling with your dance moves.

"...They've already switched to other moves; it's not our turn yet."

"So you're alright?"

"It's alright now."

"Hehe, that's perfect, come with me to buy water."

"Go buy the water yourself, why are you calling me?" Li Mubai asked, puzzled.

"It's not for me, it's for everyone. The class monitor asked me to buy water." Chen Qiuhe took out a fifty-yuan note and waved it in her hand.

"All right."

Since there's nothing to do sitting here, why not go for a walk?

"Wang Rui, are you going?"

"I'm not going. I need to think about my performance moves."

...There's another way to say it.

The dance studio is a bit far from the convenience store, and there are hardly any people on the road. Occasionally, music can be heard from somewhere, probably from other classes practicing.

"Just got some gold, Li Mubai, do you want to see?"

What is "withdrawing money"?

"We just captured some good stuff."

"Oh, what did you photograph?"

"Let me show you, don't be surprised."

Chen Qiuhe leaned over, opened the camera screen, and flipped through the photos one by one. Among them were photos of Li Mubai and Wang Rui resting on the ground. After flipping through more than a dozen photos, her fingers finally stopped.

On the left side of the photo, a blur runs away, while in the middle, a girl with a ponytail turns her head slightly to look at the person, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"How is it? Does it look good?" Chen Qiuhe asked.

"...It's a really nice shot."

"I'm asking if you're good-looking."

"It's a fact that the class monitor is good-looking." Li Mubai tried his best not to reveal his subjective opinion.

"And what about you? What do you think?"

"I share the same thoughts as everyone else."

Chen Qiuhe chuckled: "Go ahead and hide it, just don't let me catch you with solid evidence."

She changed the subject abruptly, saying, "But look at this photo, XS smiled at you, which might mean she's interested in you. You have the advantage."

...A fool would argue that if I smile at you, does that mean I have feelings for you too?

Xie Shu smiled, perhaps because he was too embarrassed and asked a strange question.

"Alright, stop dreaming and go buy some water." Li Mubai interrupted her.

"Okay, by the way, do you want the photos? I'll send them to you for 50."

"don't want."

Anyway, it might be posted in the class album later, and he can just download it from there.

"No, I'll delete it. It involves personal privacy."

Now you're concerned about personal privacy? Why weren't you aware of this when you were filming me?

Li Mubai remained unmoved, and at this moment, he could not show even the slightest regret.

Chen Qiuhe casually operated the screen a few times, then put the camera away.

"Let's go buy some water."

Wednesday evening study session is for math, so being able to skip it openly is something to be happy about.

"Have you all finished your math homework for practice? Bring it up one by one for me to check before you go."

…Mr. Chen, the math teacher, was incredibly cunning; thankfully, he finished writing.

They weren't involved in the last evening self-study session. Xie Shu went to help the others, while Li Mubai found a quiet corner to sit down and start memorizing vocabulary.

When he got back to his dorm and turned on his phone, a message popped up on QQ.

Qinghe: "[jpg.] Sent to you, you're welcome." (Time: 22:23)
