CH 6.1

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lu Nan walked away, leaving Lin Yuhe right where he was, bewildered.

He stared blankly in the direction in which Lu Nan had left. With his back straight and his shoulder line firm, no matter how you looked at him, he did not seem like one who would say something like “discuss it with big brother.”

Lin Yuhe simply had doubts as to whether he had misheard what Lu Nan had said.

A gust of cold wind blew, causing the tip of his nose to freeze. Suddenly, Lin Yuhe covered his face and sneezed. Holding his numb fingers, he turned around and quickly went upstairs.

It was simply far too cold.

As he was removing his outer coat after returning to his dorm, only then it dawned on Lin Yuhe that he had forgotten to return the scarf to the other.

Looking at the soft woven scarf in his hand, he became somewhat absentminded.

Lin Yuhe thought: Mr. Lu is indeed very professional.

“……”

For a moment, Lin Yuhe’s finger paused over his phone screen. It occurred to him that this should be an automatic new friend alert from his WeChat’s contacts page, so he heaved a sigh of relief. 

After pondering for a moment, he eventually decided not to send Lu Nan a friend request. 

Although they were to pretend to be intimate, Lu Nan should be referring to them acting in front of others, right? Also, chatting online should not fall under the range of interactions that would be seen by others. If he were to send a request rashly, he might just overstep his boundaries.

While thinking about it, Lin Yuhe could not help raising his hand to press his fingers against his temples.

Even though you could not see it on the surface, his heart began to feel somewhat weary.

There were indeed a bit too many matters that required him to consider——from choosing his words carefully each time he spoke to distinguishing each action between right and wrong.

Lin Yuhe was never adept at things relating to feelings. After a hectic day today, he was entirely overcome by fatigue.

Lin Yuhe strode across his dorm and sat on a chair, in a daze. 

Looking back, he definitely had had a fulfilling day today. He was woken up by a phone call early this morning and took a day off from university to head out and wait for someone, in order to meet him…… 

Wait a minute, took a day off?!

Lin Yuhe was taken completely aback and regained his composure abruptly.

He had yet to catch up on his notes for the lesson that he was not able to attend today!

He hurriedly sent messages to his roommates who had yet to return, asking to borrow their notebooks. Once his progress in catching up with the missed lecture began, Lin Yuhe had yet again returned to his arduous studies.

It was extremely difficult for medical students to possess the freedom to goof around. The moment he became busy, he swiftly pushed tonight’s matter to the back of his mind.

——

Even though the wedding, a major life event, loomed ahead, there were not many changes to Lin Yuhe’s life recently.

As usual, Wu Xin would send numerous messages relating to the wedding and Lu Nan. Whereas Lin Yuhe’s studies could already be regarded as working around the clock, but Lu Nan was, in fact, even busier. 

Just from the snippets from those articles or publicized documents, Lin Yuhe could also get a glimpse of the other’s stressful and busy schedule.

Since that dinner, they had not kept in touch with each other. Come to think of it, that date had only taken place after Lu Nan had specially made time for it. 

Once again, WeChat’s new friend suggestion popped up on Lin Yuhe’s phone, which he had swiped away. He did not wish to disturb Mr. Lu again at a time like this.

He thought that it would be sufficient for him to cooperate well when the time called for it.

Right now, the midterm examinations were actually the most strenuous matter for Lin Yuhe. Moreover, the engagement date had yet to be decided, so there might be a possibility of it clashing with his exams. Hence, he had to, all the more, seize every moment to revise.

Despite being a senior, there was not any difference between a fourth-year student in a five-year clinical program and students from its preceding years. Medical students were always very busy, especially during the exam period, where they had to take exams for over a dozen subjects. The time they had was truly very tight.

That was why their task in revising was very crucial, so whenever they had no lessons, Lin Yuhe and his roommates would pretty much spend almost all their time in the library.　　

At noon, the four of them would make their way to the cafeteria to have lunch.

In order to avoid the peak lunch hours, they would leave the library for the cafeteria a little earlier and managed to find an empty table successfully.

While Second Bro Zhu Bo was eating, he was writing up an update. Once he was done, he immediately posted it and placed his phone on the table. Soon after, his phone began to vibrate crazily, to the extent where it had practically rotated half a circle in its spot.

Zhen Ling was already used to this, so he asked, “You’re going to bail again?”

Typically, Zhu Bo was a man of few words and was somewhat shy. In the eyes of the students, Zhu Bo was basically a shy introvert. However, he had managed to do really well when it came to his gaming live streams under the ID, ‘Boil Spinach.’ On a certain live streaming website, the number of his fans had practically broken through the five million mark. As for his day-to-day live streams, the number of regular viewers could easily exceed one hundred thousand.

However, each time exams were round the corner, Zhu Bo would take time off and not live stream. Like before, this time, he had also posted a notice in advance on the announcement boards of both the live streaming website and Weibo.

As soon as the update was out, the websites were immediately bombarded by a flurry of comments from his fans.

[At the sight of this familiar announcement board, I just knew that Big Spinach will yet again be off to sit for his exams!]

[Oh my god, not exams again? Am I a fan of a gaming blogger or an academic blogger??]

[Following Spinach really distracts me from wanting to play games and instead just want to study. [kowtow]]

[Every time Peking University conducts its examinations, I am also forced to study offline. This is truly the only time I am the closest to Peking University.]

Hearing what Zhen Ling had said, Zhu Bo heaved a long sigh. “It can’t be helped. Live streaming can feel awesome for a moment, but I would be dead if I were to flunk my classes.” 

He even used his hand to make a throat-slashing gesture.

Since Zhu Bo’s family circumstances were not bad, he did not need to rely on the revenue earned from live streaming and was still able to provide for himself. That was also the reason why there was no need for him to deliberately create an image of an academic prodigy, as well as worrying about how flunking class would ruin his persona. However, the main reason that he did not want to flunk his classes was purely due to the fact that it would affect his GPA, and retaking the exams were far too troublesome as well. Therefore, he did not want to undergo that hardship.

Zhen Ling turned to ask, “Then have you taken some time off as well, Hehe?”

Before Lin Yuhe could say anything, Shen Huixi, who was beside them, suddenly laughed.

“Is there a need for him to take some time off? He is always pulling off a disappearing act all year round, so if he were to update one day, it’s his fans who are supposed to be surprised.”

Lin Yuhe laughed along as well and pointed out, “Yeah, I don’t need to take some time off at the moment and just need to push back the orders.”

He was also involved in live streaming, but unlike Zhu Bo, he was, in a way, a calligraphy blogger.

Since Lin Yuhe had hereditary asthma, he had always been a sickly child. Hence, he was brought to the countryside to rest and recuperate in a mountainous forest that had picturesque scenery for a very long period of time. Since then, he began to learn calligraphy from his grandfather and gained the ability to write beautifully.
