Xu Xiuwen quietly sat in the back row, watching the boys approach Tang Weiwei to strike up a conversation.
Tang Weiwei was naturally shy and didn't interact with boys.
Now, with so many boys talking to her, Xu Xiuwen thought, Tang Weiwei must be feeling quite troubled, right?
To Xu Xiuwen's surprise, he soon saw the boys walk away one by one, each with a disappointed expression on their face.
One could guess what Tang Weiwei had said to them, but exactly what she said was unknown and unimportant.
Xu Xiuwen found it amusing.
He thought for a moment and took out his phone to send Tang Weiwei a text: "Weiwei, how does it feel to be chatted up by boys?"
After sending the text, Xu Xiuwen watched Tang Weiwei.
Under his gaze, Tang Weiwei lowered her head and took out her phone from her pocket.
Seeing the content of the message, she was initially stunned.
She started typing to reply to Xu Xiuwen, but suddenly thought of something, and her eyes brightened.
She immediately turned her head to look back, searching for Xu Xiuwen's figure.
She didn't see him at first glance, but she was sure Xu Xiuwen was in the classroom.
She stood up right away.
Next to her, Shen Minyao and Su Yanyan looked puzzled as she suddenly stood up.
Tang Weiwei said, "Sister Minyao, please let me out."
Shen Minyao asked, "Are you going to the bathroom?"
Tang Weiwei shook her head, "No."
"Then where are you going?"
Tang Weiwei said, "Xu Xiuwen is here."
"Dada is here? Where is he?" Su Yanyan exclaimed.
Shen Minyao was stunned.
Coming to her senses, Shen Minyao stood up to let Tang Weiwei out.
Tang Weiwei walked into the aisle between the seats and headed towards the back.
Her eyes constantly scanned the people in the classroom, looking for Xu Xiuwen.
Many boys in the classroom were secretly paying attention to Tang Weiwei.
Seeing her looking for someone, the boys who had approached her earlier became excited.
Had Tang Weiwei changed her mind?
However, to their disappointment, Tang Weiwei's eyes passed over them without pausing for even a second.
They were disappointed again.
Tang Weiwei had no idea what the boys were thinking.
Walking towards the back, she finally saw someone.
Her eyes immediately brightened with excitement.
She quickly walked towards him.
As soon as Tang Weiwei stood up, Xu Xiuwen lowered his head, not wanting to be recognized by her.
When he saw a pair of beautiful legs standing beside him from under the brim of his hat, he knew he had been found.
Xu Xiuwen raised his head and turned to look.
Tang Weiwei was standing charmingly to his left, her face full of smiles, her eyes sparkling.
"Xiuwen?"
At this moment, a voice came from the front left.
It was Xu Xiuwen's roommate, Jin Haonan.
The five members of Room 412 were all sitting in the third row from the back.
Xu Xiuwen had noticed them earlier.
Now, Xu Xiuwen knew he had been recognized.
He looked at his roommates and nodded to them.
It was really Xu Xiuwen!
The five members of Room 412 instantly stood up.
Xu Xiuwen, afraid of being recognized by more people, quickly stood up and walked out of the classroom.
Tang Weiwei quietly followed him out.
In the hallway outside the classroom, Xu Xiuwen reached out and pulled Tang Weiwei closer, then hugged her.
Tang Weiwei neither resisted nor struggled.
She obediently let Xu Xiuwen hold her, though the blush on her face revealed that she was actually quite shy.
Tang Weiwei looked up at Xu Xiuwen and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
There was a hint of excitement in her voice.
Xu Xiuwen pulled down his mask and laughed, "I wanted to surprise you."
After a pause, he asked, "Are you happy to see me?"
Tang Weiwei nodded.
Xu Xiuwen asked, "Have you missed me during this time?"
Tang Weiwei nodded again.
Xu Xiuwen looked at her beautiful face, feeling a rush of warmth in his heart.
Especially when he noticed her red lips.
Xu Xiuwen had been thinking about those soft, sweet lips for a long time.
Without hesitation, he leaned in and kissed her.
Seeing his face approaching, Tang Weiwei shyly closed her eyes.
The two stood in the hallway, embracing and kissing deeply.
At this moment, the five members of Room 412 also walked out of the classroom.
Jin Haonan was the first to come out and immediately saw the kissing couple.
He reacted quickly, pushing his roommates back into the classroom, shouting, "Class is starting, hurry back!"
The others were confused, as class had just ended and there was still a while before the next one.
Shen Minyao and Su Yanyan also came out from the front door of the lecture hall.
The two girls had different reactions when they saw the kissing couple.
Su Yanyan clasped her hands over her heart, looking excited.
Shen Minyao felt very envious of Tang Weiwei and also a bit sad.
Since it was a hallway where students could pass by at any moment, Xu Xiuwen didn't keep kissing her.
He stopped after a brief kiss.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Shen Minyao and Su Yanyan outside the classroom door.
He let go of Tang Weiwei but held her hand.
With his other hand, he greeted the two girls, "Long time no see."
Shen Minyao and Su Yanyan slowly walked over.
Xu Xiuwen looked them over.
He said to Su Yanyan, "Yanyan, you look very pretty today. This outfit suits you."
Then he looked at Shen Minyao and said, "You look very gentle today."
Su Yanyan, not thinking much, beamed and said, "Thank you, Dada, for the compliment. You look very handsome today too."
Shen Minyao didn't engage in the mutual flattery.
She remained calm, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you."
Then Shen Minyao turned to Tang Weiwei and asked, "Weiwei, why didn't you tell us Xu Xiuwen was coming today?"
Before Tang Weiwei could answer, Xu Xiuwen said, "It's not that Weiwei didn't tell you, she just found out I was here."
Seeing this, Shen Minyao didn't say anything more.
Xu Xiuwen was about to say something else when he noticed a few female students walking out of the classroom and some students stopping in the hallway.
Xu Xiuwen quickly put his mask back on and said to the three girls, "You should go back to class. It looks like someone recognized me."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Tang Weiwei immediately asked nervously, "Are you leaving?"
Su Yanyan also asked, "Dada, are you leaving?"
Xu Xiuwen stopped and looked at the three girls, specifically at Tang Weiwei.
"Don't want me to leave?"
Tang Weiwei nodded.
Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen chuckled.
He suddenly asked, "Have you three ever skipped class?"
The three girls shook their heads.
Xu Xiuwen smiled, "Then today I'll take you all to skip class."
Saying this, he pulled Tang Weiwei towards the stairway.
Su Yanyan and Shen Minyao quickly followed.
After leaving the teaching building, Xu Xiuwen led Tang Weiwei to a shaded path they often visited.
At this time, it was almost empty and very quiet.
Xu Xiuwen found a patch of grass and sat down.
The girls also sat down on the grass.
Xu Xiuwen asked, "How does it feel to skip class for the first time?"
The three girls exchanged glances.
Shen Minyao looked the calmest.
Su Yanyan, very excited, exclaimed, "Dada, this is my first time skipping class. It's so thrilling!"
Tang Weiwei's face was red, and her eyes were darting around.
She nervously asked, "Will the teacher find out?"
Xu Xiuwen smiled gently and reassured her, "Don't worry, it's okay to skip a class once in a while. Besides, you all are good students. Even if you get caught, the teacher won't say much. Haven't you heard? College isn't complete without skipping a class. Now your college experience is complete."
Hearing this, Tang Weiwei felt relieved.
Su Yanyan asked, "Dada, have you been very busy lately? We haven't seen you in class."
Xu Xiuwen nodded, "Yes, very busy, no time to attend class."
"What have you been busy with, Dada?"
Xu Xiuwen smiled, "That's a secret for now."
Su Yanyan nodded and didn't ask further.
Xu Xiuwen asked, "While I was away, did anything interesting happen?"
Tang Weiwei shook her head.
Shen Minyao remained silent.
Su Yanyan's eyes suddenly lit up as she thought of something.
She glanced at Tang Weiwei and said, "Dada, there's something you'll definitely want to know."
"Oh? What is it?"
"It's about Sister Weiwei."
"Go on."
Tang Weiwei guessed what Su Yanyan was about to say.
She wasn't sure whether to stop her or not.
Su Yanyan grinned, "Dada, while you were away, many boys have been approaching Sister Weiwei. One boy has been pursuing her persistently, sending her flowers every day."
Hearing this, Xu Xiuwen immediately looked at Tang Weiwei and asked, "Is that true?"
Tang Weiwei bit her lip and murmured, "Mm."
It was normal for boys to like Tang Weiwei, especially after she changed her style.
Xu Xiuwen had expected this.
However, a boy pursuing her and sending her flowers every day without her telling him made Xu Xiuwen unhappy.
He looked at Tang Weiwei and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
His voice was slightly cold.
Tang Weiwei explained, "I didn't want to distract you with my issues."
Xu Xiuwen's face was expressionless, making it hard to read his thoughts.
Su Yanyan realized she might have said something wrong.
Suddenly, Shen Minyao said, "Xu Xiuwen, don't doubt Weiwei. She never accepted the flowers. That boy gave them to other girls to force them into the dormitory, and Weiwei threw them away each time."
Hearing this, Xu Xiuwen's expression softened.
He asked, "Is that true?"
Tang Weiwei immediately nodded.
Su Yanyan also said, "Dada, I can vouch for Sister Weiwei. She never accepted the flowers willingly. That boy forced them on her, and Sister Weiwei always threw them away."
Xu Xiuwen asked, "You could just throw away flowers someone gave you?"
Tang Weiwei felt extremely wronged.
Her eyes quickly turned red.
Xu Xiuwen's doubt hurt her more than scolding would.
Tang Weiwei bit her lip and said, "They weren't from you. Why would I keep them? Besides, he insisted on giving them, and I couldn't stop him."
Seeing her aggrieved expression, Xu Xiuwen pulled Tang Weiwei into his arms and gently comforted her, "Don't be upset. I shouldn't have doubted you."
Tang Weiwei's mood gradually improved.
Shen Minyao, watching from the side, felt very envious.
Su Yanyan, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.
After chatting for a while longer, Shen Minyao suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to do, I'll go first."
She turned to Su Yanyan and said, "Yanyan, come with me."
Su Yanyan, thinking Shen Minyao really had something to do, stood up and followed her.
Xu Xiuwen noticed that Shen Minyao was deliberately leaving to give them some alone time.
After the two girls left, Xu Xiuwen pulled Tang Weiwei into his arms and said softly, "Weiwei, are you still mad at me? I shouldn't have doubted you just now, I was just a bit jealous."
Tang Weiwei gently shook her head and said, "I'm not mad. I know it's because you care about me. Don't worry, I won't like them."
As she said this, her face turned a little red.
Xu Xiuwen took the opportunity to ask, "Then who do you like?"
Tang Weiwei shyly lowered her head, pretending to be an ostrich.
Seeing her bashful appearance, Xu Xiuwen felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He gently held her chin and kissed her again.
After a long kiss, Xu Xiuwen pulled back.
Tang Weiwei panted lightly and shook her head, saying, "No more."
Xu Xiuwen chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Xu Xiuwen held Tang Weiwei as they looked at the distant scenery.
In the serene green space, everything felt perfect.
After a while, Tang Weiwei suddenly asked, "Xu Xiuwen, now that you're back, will you leave again? Will you stay to attend classes?"
Xu Xiuwen retracted his gaze and nodded, "Yes, I won't be leaving for now. I can attend a few days of classes."
Hearing this, Tang Weiwei felt very happy.
Then, Tang Weiwei began talking about the film crew.
She had some experience with accounting, so she had a basic understanding of what expenses were necessary during filming and what weren't.
So even though she wasn't always with the crew, she still managed the accounts well.
Xu Xiuwen trusted her abilities very much.
However, he didn't want to talk about the film crew after not seeing her for so long.
So he deliberately changed the topic to something else.
As they chatted, Tang Weiwei's face turned red.
They continued talking on the grass until the sun set. Tang Weiwei's face was as red as blood, and she felt restless and slightly out of breath.
Xu Xiuwen was thoroughly satisfied.
He stood up, patted his pants, and asked, "Are you hungry? I'm a bit hungry. Let's go eat something."
Xu Xiuwen reached out to help Tang Weiwei up, and they walked together towards the east gate of Jiangling College.
The area outside the east gate of Jiangling College wasn't as bustling as Jiaotong East Street, but it still had many restaurants and small shops.
The reason Xu Xiuwen didn't go to the north street or the canteen was simple.
He was afraid of being recognized.
Whether it was him or Tang Weiwei being recognized, it wouldn't be good.
After dinner, it was close to six o'clock.
Tang Weiwei asked if she could go back first.
Xu Xiuwen asked her why, if she didn't want to stay with him. Tang Weiwei shook her head and said she needed to go back to do her homework.
Hearing the word "homework," Xu Xiuwen was stunned for a moment.
He asked, "What homework? Can't you skip it?"
Tang Weiwei shook her head and said, "No, it's due tomorrow. If I don't turn it in, the teacher said we won't get participation points."
Xu Xiuwen said, "The teacher is just scaring you. How could they really not give you participation points? I've been excused from classes and haven't turned in any homework. If they don't give participation points, even if I get full marks on the final exam, I wouldn't pass, right?"
Tang Weiwei shook her head and said, "That's not true, you have turned in homework."
Xu Xiuwen laughed, "I haven't been to class, how could I turn in homework?"
Tang Weiwei said softly, "I helped you write it."
Hearing this, Xu Xiuwen was stunned.
