I want to have a normal campus romance

To be honest, if it were the old me, I might not care and would just rush in. People with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes. After all, if the relationship fails, it fails. It’s not like I haven’t failed before.

What's more, I didn't have much hope for this relationship at that time.

However, after experiencing numerous emotional blows, I have become more and more emotionally conservative compared to those energetic college students, and more and more like a gloomy old man.

Those successful people all say that the happiest thing in life is to love and get it. The second happiest thing in life is to love but not get it. At least you have tried your best and you will not regret it!

But who would listen to those losers who say that the most tragic thing in life is that you are almost there...almost there, just like a test paper with 59 points, which is much more unwilling than a lower score.

Perhaps the pain I suffered in the past was too deep, or perhaps I am too satisfied with my current life, which makes me hesitate to take that step at this moment, because no one knows whether it will be a vast ocean or a bottomless abyss.

With the sunk costs, no one will make those risky decisions again, because no one is willing to take the current stability and gamble those tiny chances.

And I have never been an opportunist. After all, for me...many times, there is only one choice, and if you fail, everything is over. There is no room for redemption or chance to start over.

Fatty and the others would jokingly call me the most sober person in the world. Some people would praise me for being cautious, steady, shrewd, and even say that I am cunning, but I would rather call myself a "coward" because I dare not gamble.

I hope that every decision I make will be 100% successful, that there will be room for maneuver and a way out for any situation.

I exhaled and slowly looked up at the empty ceiling, hoping to calm my restless mood, but I found that the air was mixed with that familiar smell, which made me anxious again.

What's wrong with me lately? Why have I become so sensitive? I wasn't so pretentious before! Is it because I've been too busy recently?

Of course, even though I thought so in my mind, I knew in my heart that it was only because my life was too good, so good that... I was worried about what I should do when everything returns to normal?

"Ahem, okay... I know everything."

Fortunately, at this moment, the policeman sitting opposite me coughed twice, pulling me out of this bad thinking. Seeing this, I moved my gaze back from the ceiling, and then slowly stopped my gaze on that fair face.

It seemed that the two policemen also felt that they could not handle the current atmosphere, so after hurriedly asking us a few key questions, they ended the interrogation.

"Okay, I won't disturb you young people's date. Oh, that young man, please stay for a while."

After hearing what the policeman said, Bai Yun paused after standing up from her chair, looked at the policeman, then looked at me, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

The policeman who was making jokes saw the worry on Bai Yun's face, laughed, waved his hand, broke the silence and said to us:

"I just want you to call your teacher or counselor and tell them what happened here. Don't worry... you won't be punished because you are from the same university. It's just a routine notification."

But despite this, Bai Yun still looked at me with some worry, and I shook off the messy thoughts in my mind, forced a faint smile, shrugged my shoulders, and then said to her:

"Don't worry, Sister Wen is very protective of her children. Even if there is a punishment, she will definitely try her best to stop it."

Of course... there is a mixture of truth and falsehood in what I said. After all, it is true that Xiao Jingwen protects her children, but she may not be able to stop such punishments. After all, it is the business of the Academic Affairs Office.

However, although it was a lie, it was a white lie, and at least it could make Bai Yun less worried.

So after seeing Bai Yun off, I took out my cell phone, opened the address book and called Xiao Jingwen. As the phone beeped, the call was soon answered.

"Lin Ran? What's the matter?"

After hearing what Xiao Jingwen said, I was stunned. How did she know it was my number? Did she make an address book for me?

Although I was a little curious, I suppressed my curiosity when I saw the two police officers sitting opposite me. I coughed twice to clear my throat, and then slowly said to Xiao Jingwen on the other end of the phone:

"Um... Sister Wen, I need to trouble you with something. I'm with the police now—"

I had just said half of my words when there was a rustling sound from the other end of the phone, as if something had fallen to the ground. After a while, I heard Xiao Jingwen's voice from the other end of the phone.

"What crime have you committed... Never mind, let's talk about it later. You're at that police station now. I'll drive over here!"

"Uh...huh?"

After I heard Xiao Jingwen's words, my mind went blank. It was not until I heard the sounds of closing and locking a door from the other end of the phone that I slowly came to my senses.

Oh my god, Sister Wen didn't think I had committed a crime and was arrested and came to bail me out, right? !

Chapter 175 Premonition

"Uh...ah, that...no, Sister Wen, you misunderstood. I was not arrested by the police."

After I finished speaking, I only heard a hurried voice on the other end of the phone. There was a pause as my voice fell. In order to avoid further misunderstanding, I quickly continued what I had just said and explained the situation here.

"I was on Binjiang Avenue and met a few people who fought with me, so I had a little conflict with them..."

I had just said half of my words and was thinking about how to explain the matter clearly so as to avoid Xiao Jingwen from misunderstanding me, but I didn't expect her to interrupt me directly.

　 "Conflict? Are you hurt?"

　 "Uh... no, but the people over there are also--"

　 "Oh, all right."

"Hmm...ah?"

Did I hear it wrongly? What did Xiao Jingwen say just now?

That's good?

In other words, what she said just now was not about asking about the situation, but about caring about me?

"Ahem, give the phone to the police. I'll talk to him about the situation."

"Oh."

After hearing what Xiao Jingwen said, I nodded and handed the phone in my hand to the policeman who liked to joke around. After all, the serious-looking policeman was very serious.

Maybe... an ordinary conflict can be described as a bloody conflict in his tone and manner.

"Hello, hello... Oh, it's Teacher Xiao, right? The situation is like this..."

After the policeman took my phone, his tone when talking to Xiao Jingwen became much more serious. I think he was joking with us because we were younger than him, and we were the ones reporting the case, so he didn't take it so seriously.

So when he and Xiao Jingwen were talking about the case seriously, I breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if it was handed over to that serious policeman, the tone would probably become more serious and solemn.

But just when I was feeling extremely glad that I had made the right choice, the policeman’s next words almost made me bite my tongue.

"Well, when your student and his partner were hanging out, they happened to run into a few people who were trying to strike up a conversation with him maliciously. There was a small conflict between the two parties. Since both parties are students of your school, we need to notify you of this."

!!!

Damn, brother...don't!

Why are you saying this? Not to mention that if this rumor gets out, I will basically have to spend several years in college with a girlfriend who only exists by word of mouth, and it will be very troublesome to clarify the misunderstanding with acquaintances.

The most important thing is...I just complained to Xiao Jingwen not long ago that I don’t have a girlfriend!

"Ah? Who is the other party? You need to confirm... Let me take a look."

After I heard what the policeman said, I felt like I was struck by lightning. A tingling electric current rushed from my head to the soles of my feet. I almost jumped up from my chair.

Isn't this just pushing me into the fire?

No, I have to explain quickly.

"that--"

"Well, her name is...her name is...eh? Where's the file I just put on the table."

He was halfway through his words, searching through the files on the table, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the file he wanted. It wasn't until his colleague reminded him that he suddenly realized:

"Hiss - I remember now. I think I put it away. Never mind. I won't look for it anymore."

Phew—I was so scared, I thought I was going to send it.

"Hey boy, what's your girlfriend's name?"

"..."

Can I not answer?

Isn't this equivalent to me taking a pistol and shooting myself?

This is too despicable!

"Huh? Ohhh... okay."

Just when I was thinking about how to answer his question, it seemed that Xiao Jingwen said something to him, and then she nodded for a moment, then looked at me subtly, and then handed my phone to me.

"Your instructor said he wanted to talk to you in person."

"..."

After hearing his words, the corner of my eye twitched, and for a moment, I even hoped that my phone would go black and crash at this moment, but apparently my phone is always unexpectedly strong at times like this.

Seeing this, I sighed and couldn't help but say that life is unpredictable. Then, like a brave warrior ready to die, I took the phone he handed to me.

"Ahem, um... Sister Wen?"

"..."

"That's all a misunderstanding, really! Listen to me... No, explain it to me!"

"..."

There was no sound on the other end of the phone, which made me feel inexplicably guilty as I was talking. I don't know why I had this feeling, but I always felt like I was being interrogated by my girlfriend.

Oh my god, why do you make me suffer like this?

"Um... Sister Wen, please don't be silent. Sister Wen... Sister Wen?"

As I spoke, my voice became lower and lower because I felt that she was gone. It was not until I heard a gasp on the other end of the line that I realized she had been listening to me.

"you--"

"I..."

Listening to Xiao Jingwen's words, I swallowed my saliva and waited for her question, but to my surprise, the question she asked me was not what I imagined.

"You don't have classes this afternoon?"

When I heard Xiao Jingwen's question, I was stunned... Logically, shouldn't she be asking me who my girlfriend is? Why did she suddenly change the question to this?

And...I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that Xiao Jingwen is deliberately avoiding that question.

But there is no reason. If she was deliberately avoiding the question, then why did she ask this question just now? Could it be that Xiao Jingwen asked it on impulse? It's impossible... I remember that she usually handles things very steadily.

"Well, I don't have classes in the afternoon, and I have a student union meeting to attend in the evening, so I'm going to take advantage of this free time to go to the mall nearby to replace my phone."

"Okay, I understand." She paused here, then seemed to remember something and continued, "Come back early, I'll wait for you in the office."

"Uh...huh?"

What's with this sentence that sounds like a newlywed wife? No, no, no... How can a newlywed wife wait for someone in the office? This is not "Office.avi".

Wait a minute, what am I thinking about? It seems that the point of the problem is not here!

"Well...well, I was telling you about the student council!"

It seemed that Xiao Jingwen also realized the ambiguity in her words just now. After seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, she explained to me with some stammering.

Even through the phone, I can feel the subtle atmosphere in the air. Of course... I always have a bad feeling in my heart at this moment.

Especially when Xiao Jingwen mentioned the Student Union, my heart twitched inexplicably. After all, various recent signs made me feel that this student union is not that simple.

Because you have to know that the merger of the two colleges involves not only students, but also... the school leaders.

I hope I'm overthinking it.

Chapter 176: Something You Can't Do Even With Your Smartness

Although I don't know what Xiao Jingwen wants to talk to me about, I don't think it should be a trivial matter. After all, the school anniversary art performance is approaching, but the progress of the event is still in the preparation stage, and even the various departments have just completed the work of recruiting new members.

I think what she talked to me about is most likely related to the cultural performance at the school anniversary. After all, it seems that the school attaches great importance to this, not just Secretary Gao who presided over the last change of leadership.

I even remember that when Mo Fushan was holding a meeting in the school's conference room, they were also discussing matters related to this aspect. I think this centenary celebration may very well serve as publicity for the school in the coming year.

Forget it...we will just wait and see what happens.

"Then... Sister Wen, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."
