Hearing Zhu Wenbo’s comment about his inspirational banner, Lin Dongyang explained, “It’s a reminder. It’s simple and easy to understand! What about the reference book you bought before you took the fourth level exam? Let me borrow them for a look.”
Zhu Wenbo found it and handed it to him. It was a mock-up of a real examination paper. When he first took the fourth level exam, he went over the questions endlessly every day. It was a nightmare.
In the season of spring sleepiness, the roommates planned to take a nap after lunch. In the quiet dormitory at noon, only Lin Dongyang’s pretentious flipping of books was heard.
In the end, the question didn’t recognize him, and he didn’t recognize the question.
The enthusiasm had just arisen and it would always remain hot for a few minutes. Lin Dongyang’s attitude towards learning English was like ‘3 days fishing, 2 days drying the net’. It wasn’t that he didn’t have perseverance. Look at how smoothly he played the game! And his drawing also wasn’t bad! But this perseverance couldn’t be transferred to English.
After the first class in the afternoon, Lin Dongyang took out his English textbook and last year’s exam paper from the drawer and seriously committed himself.
Zhu Wenbo came over. “How is it? Can you still handle it? Do you feel that your body is hollowed out?”
Lin Dongyang was looking at a question that he couldn’t solve, so he dragged Zhu Wenbo, who had taken the initiative to come over, and asked him how to solve it.
Fatty Han clicked his tongue in wonder. “Yang-zi is really possessed by evil spirits. This is the first time I’ve seen him study English so seriously. The sky has changed ah.”
Li Wei smiled confidently and said, “Let’s bet, he won’t last three days!”
“What are we betting with?”
“If you lose, you will do my laundry for a week. If I lose, I will do your laundry for a week.”
“No! If you lose, you will wash my socks for a month!”
“F*ck, you’re ruthless! Deal.”
Lin Dongyang had no idea that his roommates had started gambling. They had bet whether he could hold on for three days or not. Zhu Wenbo had come to ask about his progress, but he was dragged by Lin Dongyang into answering questions. The problem was that he didn’t want to see those questions! So, he suggested, “I also can’t do it. Why don’t you find Wang Dan? I want to go to the toilet.” Then he slipped away.
Lin Dongyang was rather discouraged. He didn’t take a nap during the afternoon. As a result, he had already looked at more than a dozen questions, but he couldn’t answer any of them. His enthusiasm received a blow! He felt that learning English was a long way off.
There was no fixed seating arrangement in the classroom, the students chose where to sit at will. Lin Dongyang looked around and saw Wang Dan in the second row near the wall. His enthusiasm, that hadn’t yet worn off, rose again. You can’t stop your progress just because of one question! So, he walked over with his questions.
“Do you have time? I want to ask you a question,” After three years of being classmates, Lin Dongyang really hadn’t had much communication with Wang Dan. To be exact, it was Wang Dan who hadn’t had any communication with others.

After hearing Lin Dongyang’s words, Wang Dan’s somewhat rough face turned slightly red. Her skin wasn’t dark, but she didn’t do maintenance like ordinary girls. Wang Dan applied for a poor student grant application every semester, so she simply didn’t have extra money to do luxury skin maintenance. Naturally, her skin was rougher than that of other girls of the same age.
“I’ll try my best. First… let’s take a look at the question.” Wang Dan said with some formality.
Wang Dan was a very plain-looking woman. It could even be said that she was a little unsophisticated, wearing an old-fashioned jacket and jeans. She usually wore a pair of gray canvas shoes. Although the school arranged for four people to stay in one room, she seemed to have always been alone, withdrawn, never seeming to have any good friends she could hold hands with.
Lin Dongyang didn’t want to pry into other people’s privacy. He only struck up a conversation with Wang Dan today because he had encountered a stumbling block on his path of fervor. So, he came over to ask for a solution. He had almost convinced even himself of his eagerness to study.
Wang Dan was examining the question with her glasses. A rogue whistle came from the back of the class, followed by Wang Xiaomeng’s tomboyish jeering. “Lin Dongyang, what are you doing? Don’t bother someone else’s honest little sister. Come to me if you don’t have anything to do.”
The other students in the class heard this jeer and laughed loudly. The male students responded, “Come on, you’re the woman who wants to be a da-ge.”
Wang Xiaomeng had always claimed herself as a ‘da-ge’ in the class. At the same time, she had also been honored as ‘Meng-ge’ by the other students in the class, as well as several nicknames, such as: tomboy.
Lin Dongyang: “Da-ge, I don’t dare come to you. How many subordinates do you have?”
Wang Xiaomeng; “Not many, not many, just twenty or thirty.”
“Are you trying to form an evil campus gang to collect protection fees?”
“I’m a free flower envoy that eliminates evil and promotes good. All the girls in our class are under my protection.”
“You actually want to keep all the female classmates to yourself. What about us, the male compatriots?!”
There was another chaotic uproar. After reviewing the question, Wang Dan glanced at him with a black ink pen in her hand, waiting for the heated conversation to end. She didn’t have the intention to interrupt at all.
Lin Dongyang said apologetically, “Sorry for being carried away, you speak.”
Wang Dan first told him the answer and then prepared to explain the root of the question to him. But the jeering had taken up too much time. Just then, the bell rang, and the next class was about to begin.
Zhu Wenbo, who went to the toilet, walked back into the classroom and reminded Lin Dongyang as he returned to his seat. “Go back to your seat, the teacher is coming.”
Wang Dan was explaining the question to Lin Dongyang. When she heard the voice, she looked up and saw Zhu Wenbo standing beside Lin Dongyang. She, who had little contact with outsiders, immediately became somewhat incoherent and her plain face turned as red as a cooked shrimp.
“That… Then… Next time.”
“Alright, thank you,” Lin Dongyang was ready to take back the book. As a result, Wang Dan’s palm was tightly pressing down on a corner of the book. He tugged a few times, but the other party didn’t notice it at all. The teacher had already passed the classroom window with the textbook in his arms. Lin Dongyang was a little confused and reminded her, “You’re pressing on my book.”
Wang Dan took away her hand with two consecutive ‘oh oh’ sounds. Her expression was uncomfortable because of embarrassment. She looked up to see the person standing beside Lin Dongyang, but saw no one. A touch of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Lin Dongyang returned to his previous seat. The teacher of this class had already stepped onto the podium. Without saying a word, he counted the number of people in front of the podium to see if there were any children who were lazy and didn’t come to class.
During the class, Lin Dongyang somehow felt that Wang Dan was looking at him from time to time. Wang Dan sat at the end of the second row against the wall, and the four of them sat in the third row in the middle. From this angle, Ling Dongyang could see the other party’s actions out of the corner of his eye, but when he went to confirm, besides her body being slightly turned to one side, she was concentrating on the blackboard like normal.
When the class ended, Lin Dongyang carried his textbook over without saying a word. He blocked Wang Dan’s path, taking advantage of the fact that they were now slightly more familiar with each other he said bluntly, “Who were you looking at in the class, were you looking at me?”
It wasn’t that Lin Dongyang was narcissistic. He just wanted to use this comment to see her reaction so he could verify the suspicions in his heart. Wang Dan just shook her head. “No.”
Lin Dongyang tried to ask again in a low voice, “You’re not going to look at Zhu Wenbo again, are you?”
Sure enough, Wang Dan’s reaction this time wasn’t simply shaking her head, rather she violently shook her head. “No, I’m not!”
Lin Dongyang smiled confidently. This reaction was a clear answer. Lin Dongyang gloated over his own cleverness. Seeing him like this, Wang Dan panicked a little for a moment, and admitted it without fighting. “Don’t tell anyone.”
Wang Dan was a student who received subsidies and scholarships every year in the class. Her withdrawn personality came from her low self-esteem. She wasn’t good-looking and couldn’t communicate well with others. She couldn’t do anything well except study. She even hid the person she liked.
Lin Dongyang was puzzled. “Why don’t you tell him ah? Zhu Wenbo is a good person and good at studying.” In his mind, these two people were suitable for each other in every way. No matter how you look at it, they have a husband and wife look about them. He had thought that in his dormitory there was a group of single-dogs who nobody was interested in. Unexpectedly, Zhu Wenbo became the object of a secret crush. It was a pity that it was hidden. It’s fate ah.
“I… I want to tell him after graduation, studying is more important right now.” Wang Dan said in a wimpy voice.
How could he refute this? He couldn’t say ‘neglect neither one, just say it if you want to say it.’ He didn’t understand Wang Dan, but how could he not understand the roommate he had been living with for three years? Zhu Wenbo didn’t have any thoughts about falling in love. So, even if he found out that Wang Dan secretly liked him, he probably wouldn’t have any special reaction.
“Do you want me to sound him out? Zhu Wenbo is rather stuffy. You need to have more contact with him.”
“Thank you, but it’s fine like this.”
“Alright.” Lin Dongyang sighed, while thinking: If it was him, he would chase after the person he liked and try his best to be good to her. He didn’t believe that her heart wouldn’t grow fond of him.
‘You can go to the library and borrow more books. This is a level four examination question, and it’s a bit difficult for you to do right now.” Wang Dan pointed to the question he had asked about and made a suggestion.
“I’ve been to the library twice, but I haven’t read any books yet, just strolled around. Even if I borrow a book, I won’t really understand it. There’s no one in the library I can ask, but I still have Zhu Wenbo in the dormitory.” Lin Dongyang explained the reason why he didn’t want to go to the library.
“I often go there. I usually go once after school.”
“Really ah? That’s okay.” Lin Dongyang was surprised that a Xueba was really a Xueba. She was a frequent visitor of the library. He had just gone there twice to act as soy sauce.
It was the first time that Wang Dan had communicated with an outsider for such a long time. Not only did it not bring her any mental pressure, on the contrary, she felt a sense of relief after her secret was discovered. Was this the feeling of sharing something with someone? It was good. Something that has been on the mind for a long time may become the root cause of a disease.
After school, Lin Dongyang was about to follow his roommates back to the dormitory. However, when he saw Wang Dan’s vague expectations as she stood at the door of the classroom and looked at them, he instantly changed his mind and threw all the books in his hands to Li Wei. “I’m going to go to the library to borrow some materials to read, take my textbooks back for me.”
Hearing this, Li Wei, who had been firm in his beliefs, changed his face slightly. “Hey Yang-ge, tell me, are you serious this time? I don’t want to wash Fatty’s smelly socks for a month ah——!”
Lin Dongyang threw him a haughty look. “Studying makes me happy!”
Because classes had just ended, there were many students who had just left the school building walking on the road. The school building area was surrounded. In the middle of the forest of school buildings was the landmark of Nanhai University——the library.
The highly artistic building stood in the center of the school building area, encouraging students to read more and study more in a very eye-catching way!
Lin Dongyang knew that Wang Dan had something to say to him. After all, he had discovered the little secret hidden in this person’s heart. As a result, Wang Dan kept looking down at the ground, and Lin Dongyang was puzzled. Did he think wrong?
“Don’t you have something to ask me?”
Wang Dan kept walking with her head down, holding her textbook, maintaining that slightly hunched over look for a long time, before she started to speak, “I am…”
Before she could finish her words. Wang Dan, who was looking down, bumped into a girl who was also looking down and playing with her mobile phone.
“I’m sorry!”
The girl was very angry. She stared at Wang Dan fiercely, ignoring the other’s apology and cursing openly, “You’re blind ah! Didn’t you see me walking over?!”
Lin Dongyang narrowed his eyes in displeasure. This person’s attitude was bad, but they were still a girl. He endured his displeasure and stepped forward to stand next to Wang Dan. He apologized again, “Sorry for bumping into you.”
Behind the girl, a male student also stepped forward with the same bad attitude. “My friend said you bumped into her. Show some manners and apologize properly. My friend isn’t satisfied!”
Sure enough, like-minded people gathered in groups. Lin Dongyang smiled contemptuously. They had apologized twice, were they still not satisfied? What kind of noble people were they? Besides, it wasn’t certain who bumped into who. The other party had been playing with her mobile phone with her head down just now.
He stepped forward to block Wang Dan. He looked into the aggressive boy’s eyes, his aura vaguely overpowering his opponent. “You protect your friend, and I’ll protect mine.”
