Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 440 Just do it and it’s over

Time flies and a week passes.

As the date approaches December, the weather is getting colder. Even at noon, when the temperature is the highest, it no longer exceeds double digits.

In the past seven days, except for the two days when he went home on weekends, Lu You often paid attention to Zhang Zhichuang's actions.

On the surface, there was nothing unusual about Zhang Zhichuang.

He was still laughing and joking, with a thick skin like a city wall. He would say something when he saw someone studying in the dormitory.

However, if you look closely, you will find a sense of incongruity.

After lunch and dinner, Zhang Zhichuang returned to the dormitory early. He would occasionally look up in a daze. During class, he would sit in a row with Lu You and others. It was like the sun rising in the west.

So, two days ago, Lu You prepared to have a good talk with Zhang Zhichuang.

As a result, he acted as if nothing had happened and returned to his previous state. He sat next to Qin Xiyue in class, followed her after class, and was nowhere to be seen at night. It was clear that Lu You had given up on him.

Could it be that the couple is having a conflict?

Thinking of this, Lu You no longer planned to intervene.

What right did he, an outsider, have to interfere in the private affairs of the young couple? What if it was some unique way of playing?

Six pm.

The sun sets and the moon rises, the sky returns to its original color, and the city is lit up with thousands of lights.

After finishing the last class, Lu You separated from his three roommates and walked to the other side of the corridor.

It was the time when the get out of class was over and there were many people in the corridor. Lu You could only squeeze in and move between people.

But a wall formed by three girls holding hands blocked Lu You's way. The wall was as tight as the Tsar's imperial guards' wall.

Fuck, we have to be conjoined twins in the corridor?

Considering that there was a staircase not far ahead, Lu You endured it and did not curse, but followed the Wall of Sighs at a snail's pace.

The moment the wall entered the open area, Lu You turned sideways, passed it at lightning speed, and walked upstairs.

After hurrying for a long time, Lu You finally arrived outside the accounting department classroom.

It seemed that the teacher was extending the class time, and the students in the classroom began to pour out in large numbers.

In the crowded crowd, Lu You found Tang Wan's location at a glance.

It was neither a telepathic connection nor a coincidence, but simply because Tang Wan's faded red-purple hair was eye-catching enough.

At the same time, Tang Wan also noticed Lu You's presence. She whispered a few words to the girl next to her and then trotted over.

"you……"

"Stop talking and leave quickly!"

Tang Wan grabbed Lu You's wrist and dragged him downstairs quickly.

Only after leaving the teaching building, entering the mottled school road and becoming part of the crowded crowd did Tang Wan slow down her pace.

"You're walking so fast, are you fleeing?" Lu You asked.

"That's about right!" Tang Wan hugged Lu You's arm, and her soft body followed him, saying, "I'm afraid if I walk too slowly, you'll be surrounded by the girls in my class."

"What do you mean? All the girls in your class are attracted to me?"

“Stop being so conceited!” Tang Wan pushed Lu You’s face away with disdain and said, “Ever since you showed up in front of my entire class on Double Eleven last week, everyone in the class has known that I’m in a relationship!”

"Just know it if you know it! Our relationship is not something that can't be exposed to the public. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear." Lu You said disapprovingly.

"Oh, you don't understand!"

Tang Wan sighed, exuding an air of exhaustion, like a programmer who had been pulling three all-nighters and was nearly dead.

"Boys are okay, they are shy and won't ask questions, but those women are gossipy! Whenever they get a chance, they come over to chase you, intercept you, and get information. They even want to find out the color of your underwear!"

Lu You pulled up his trousers calmly and said, "If it's really troublesome, just leak some information to them. Anyway, I'm yours and no one else can take me away."

Tang Wan was very pleased with these words and hugged Lu You even tighter.

Even with several layers of winter clothes on top, Lu You could still clearly feel two extremely elastic and soft objects.

"No, I can't tell them. I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. If you meet a crazy woman, she will hit you with a club and force you to have sex with her, and in a few years she will bring her child to your house to ask for your identity. Then I will be at a great loss, right?"

"You may have read too many female-oriented novels. How can such perverted girls be found in real life?"

Tang Wan said with a straight face, "Novels are born out of reality, but reality transcends novels. Don't overestimate the limits of human beings!"

"Okay, then I will wear a motorcycle helmet when I go out, and I guarantee that even Simon Yam can't kill me."

"You have to wear iron shorts, so that even if you get knocked out, no one can do anything to you."

"It's too much!"

When they reached the stadium, Lu You stopped and said, "If I remember correctly, you still have two kilometers left on the sports campus?"

Tang Wan took out her phone and checked it, saying, "There are indeed two kilometers left."

"Run it tonight?"

"Walk."

When we entered the stadium, there were so many people inside that it was as crowded as rice in a rice jar.

In order to avoid being separated by the crowd, Tang Wan had to imitate an octopus and tightly wrapped her arms around Lu You.

Lu You pulled back the collar that Tang Wan had pulled open, and said helplessly, "Dear classmate Tang Wan, could you please relax a little? You're almost breaking my arm."

Tang Wan punched Lu You in the chest and said angrily, "Call me wife!"

"Wife, please be merciful."

"No, if it breaks, I'll drive you to the hospital."

Lu You:......

"I suddenly want to change my girlfriend."

"Are you sure?" Tang Wan narrowed her eyes and stared at Lu You, saying, "There are not many women in the world who are as virtuous as me."

"Virtuous? Ha!" Lu You couldn't help laughing and said, "You are salty and intelligent, but I don't see any virtue at all!"

"Humph! It seems that you are nearsighted for a long time. I will take you to get glasses at the weekend!"

After waiting in line for a while, the two finally handed their backpacks to the Student Union's luggage storage office for storage.

Next to the plastic track.

Lu You got into a riding position and started doing warm-up exercises.

"My dear, give me your phone, and open the Sports World Campus APP."

"No need." Tang Wan stood beside Lu You and stretched her muscles as well. "I plan to do the last two kilometers by myself."

"Then I'll watch you run?"

Tang Wan glanced at Lu You and said, "Men and women are strangers. We should walk together under the umbrella to protect ourselves from the rain. You should run with me."

"Husband and wife are birds of a feather. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately. Running is your homework, not mine."

"It still counts as one day of zero-interference study time for you."

Lu You changed the subject and said with a smile: "It is a husband's duty to share the joys and sorrows with you."

After a simple warm-up, they felt that their muscles were stretched to the right position, so they didn't hesitate any longer and walked into the track together.

They started by walking slowly for fifty meters, then gradually increased their speed. After fifty meters, they officially entered a jogging state.

Due to the difference in their pace, in order to take care of Tang Wan, Lu You reduced his stride length and frequency.

After two laps.

Lu You remained calm and breathed freely, but Tang Wan, who was standing next to him, had a distorted posture and her breathing could not keep up with her exhalation.

Lu You promptly slowed down Tang Wan and switched to walking mode.

"Looking at the way you're out of breath, I'm afraid you haven't exercised since you went to college?"

Tang Wan put one hand on her waist and tried to adjust her breathing rhythm. After she recovered, she replied, "Do you think I don't want to exercise? I have classes during the day, and at night I either go to the student union or date you. Where do I find the time?"

Looking at Tang Wan's cheeks flushed due to exercise, Lu You had an idea in his mind.

"The essence of dating is for two people to maintain their relationship. The focus is on the person rather than the place. We can go to the stadium and talk while running."

Tang Wan rolled her eyes and said, "You should find another girlfriend! My small body can't stand your torture."

"I'm doing this for your own good. While you're still young, you should exercise more. It's good for your health and can help you maintain your figure. If you wait until you grow a belly fat before trying to lose weight, you'll have to put in ten times the effort." Lu You said earnestly.

"Here we go again! Here we go again! I knew you were an undercover agent sent by my mom to spy on me. You talk exactly like her!"

Seeing Tang Wan’s resistance, Lu You didn’t say much, as things would eventually turn into the opposite extreme.

Moreover, exercise is similar to learning. To see the effect, one must do it on his own initiative. Forcing others will only cause rebellious psychology and will be ineffective.

"Okay, I won't say anything about you." Lu You squeezed Tang Wan's palm and said, "It's up to you whether you exercise or not. I just hope you can be healthy."

Tang Wan patted her chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, it's Bao Jiankang's turn!"

After a leisurely walk, Tang Wan felt that her strength had almost recovered, so she started running again.

Lu You followed calmly, even having enough energy to chat from time to time.

"It's the weekend again in two days, is there anything special you want to eat?"

“Salt-baked chicken? Old duck soup? Or spicy pork ribs pot?”

"How about some Western food? I haven't had steak in a while, I really miss it."

Tang Wan really wanted to answer, but she was afraid that if she let out the breath she was holding, she would not be able to run, so she had to hold it in.

So, under Lu You's continuous chanting, Tang Wan ran the most torturous 800 meters in her life.

Not only did she have to listen to Lu You reading out the names of the dishes with her mouth sealed, but she also had to endure the gluttony wreaking havoc in her empty stomach.

Not long after, the mileage reminder on the mobile phone sounded, and the two of them just returned to the starting point.

Tang Wan supported her knees with her hands, gasping for breath. On the contrary, Lu You was as good as ever, his face was not red, his heart was not beating fast, and even his breathing was only slightly rapid.

Lu You gently stroked Tang Wan's back and said teasingly with a smile: "My beloved, your physical strength is really not good enough, you need to practice more!"

Tang Wan turned her head to look at Lu You, and replied unyieldingly: "It's enough to squeeze you dry!"

"Really?" Lu You's face darkened and he said coldly, "I don't think you can squeeze it dry."

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth." Tang Wan, who had recovered from the shock, straightened up and challenged him, "If you have the guts, knock me down tonight."

"Wait until Friday. I have an early class tomorrow and don't want to go home."

"You can get a room nearby."

"I refuse. I don't want to see a movie starring me in the hidden camera section of a website one day in the future."

Tang Wan put her face in front of Lu You and said with a wicked smile: "What website? Give me one!"

"Do you need me to give it to you? Just find a ladder, there are plenty outside the wall."

Just when Tang Wan wanted to ask a few more questions, a soft voice sounded in their ears.

"Are you planning to skip school? But I remember that the school doesn't restrict students from entering and leaving, right?"

"Xiyue? When did you come?" Tang Wan asked in surprise.

"I just came in less than ten seconds ago." Qin Xiyue replied truthfully.

"Come to the Sports World Campus?"

"Yes." Qin Xiyue nodded.

Lu You looked behind Qin Xiyue, but could not see any familiar figure in the surging crowd.

"Just you? Hemorrhoids won't accompany you?"

Facing Lu You's question, Qin Xiyue subconsciously turned her head away, her eyes somewhat evasive.

"Well, I want to walk alone."

Lu You and Tang Wan looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking.

There is a situation!

"I suddenly remembered that I still have two laps to run. You guys can chat."

After saying that, Lu You ran away without any hesitation.

Looking at Lu You's shrinking figure, Qin Xiyue asked, "Does the master like running very much?"

Tang Wan thought about it and replied, "From the perspective of physical exercise, I think I like it."

"Is it running fast?"

"I don't know about that. I haven't measured it, but it's definitely faster than me."

There was silence for a moment.

Qin Xiyue withdrew her gaze and turned to Tang Wan.

"Chat for a few minutes?"

Tang Wan smiled slightly and was waiting for you to say this.

The two walked to the steps next to them, swept away the gravel on the ground, and sat down side by side.

Tang Wan adjusted her hair and asked first, "What are you talking about?"

Qin Xiyue hugged her knees with both hands and asked, "How long has it been since you and the Great God met and got together?"

Tang Wan estimated it in her heart for a moment and said, "We met at the end of June and confirmed our relationship on the last day of the same year, so it's been almost half a year."

"In half a year, a man and a woman develop from strangers to lovers. Do you think it is fast or slow?"

"It's hard to say." Tang Wan frowned and said thoughtfully, "Knowing each other, developing feelings, and then falling in love are two different stages. Love at first sight is another matter."

"What if there are two people who have known each other for a year and eight months. Although they were in different places for 17 months, they kept in touch almost every day through WeChat. After two months of face-to-face flirting, both parties knew each other's feelings, but they were not together yet. Do you think this is normal?"

After listening halfway, Tang Wan realized that there was no such thing as if, it was all Qin Xiyue's personal experience.

"Tell me the truth, is it you who has the problem, or is it Zhang Zhichuang?"

"Uh... I meant what if."

Tang Wan had an expression that said, "I've seen through everything." She said, "You're just like my political science teacher. You said you forgot your first love, but you remembered the day we broke up seventeen years ago with incredible accuracy. It's pure cover-up."

Hearing this, Qin Xiyue simply stopped hiding it.

“I don’t know whose problem it is.”

Qin Xiyue rested her chin on her knees, the students passing by reflected in her unfocused eyes, confused and sad.

"We held hands, watched movies together, used the same straw, and even last week on Singles' Day he gave me snacks. I made it clear that I don't accept gifts from other boys. But he still pretended to be deaf and dumb, and would rather take the snacks back than confess his love to me. Why?"

"Don't think too much." Tang Wan stroked the back of Qin Xiyue's head and comforted her softly, "When a boy can be so cruel as to ignore the advances of a girl he likes, there must be some force majeure factors affecting him, such as health status, family pressure, ideal pursuit, etc."

"so what should I do?"

"Simple! Since you are sure that Zhang Zhichuang likes you, why not just knock on his door, confess your feelings, and then ask him why he avoids relationships."

"Ah? Isn't that a bit too straightforward?" Qin Xiyue showed a bit of embarrassment on her face.

"It's better to suffer a short pain than to worry about it alone."

Tang Wan's words touched Qin Xiyue's heart.

In fact, she had long stopped wanting to be ambiguous with Zhang Zhichuang. They clearly had feelings for each other, but they were just pulling back and forth without confessing, and it was unclear who they were pulling.

"Hey, Tang Wan, who confessed first between you and the Great God?"

Tang Wan blinked and said, "Guess?"

"Hmm..." Qin Xiyue groaned for a while and replied, "Given the great master's cold personality, I really can't imagine the scene of him expressing his deep feelings."

"Hahaha!" Tang Wan couldn't help laughing and said, "You guessed right, it was indeed me who confessed. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, my situation at that time was similar to yours now, we were both flirting with each other through a thin layer of window paper. Then one night, I couldn't hold it back any longer, so I dragged him into the woods and had sex with him."

"The Great God agreed?"

Tang Wan nodded and smiled, "Looking back now, I feel so stupid. It was something that could have been broken with just a few words or a hug, but I ended up dragging it on for nearly two months."

"So, girl!" Tang Wan put her arm around Qin Xiyue's shoulders and encouraged her, "When it comes to relationships, don't be hesitant. Just follow your heart and do it boldly!"

……

Lu You ran five laps along the track in one breath, and only slowed down and walked over when he saw Tang Wan waving at him.

Qin Xiyue was nowhere to be seen, and there was nothing unusual on Tang Wan's facial expression, so Lu You guessed that the two must be having a good chat.

"Let's go eat hotpot."

After saying that, Lu You took Tang Wan's hand and walked towards the stadium entrance.

"You don't want to ask what we talked about?"

"If you want to say it, you will tell it naturally. If you don't want to say it, it's useless to ask."

"Tsk tsk! As expected of the man I like, he is considerate."
