Chapter 32: What Should We Name the Baby?
On Wednesday night...
After finishing their run, Lin Wan enjoyed another leg massage from Zhuo Feng and then asked if Zhuo Feng's legs still felt sore.
After hearing that they didn't, he immediately turned around and left.
He left Zhuo Feng standing there, completely confused, like a monk who couldn't make sense of anything.
What just happened?
Has our friendship become weaker? Or is our brotherhood over? He only cared about feeling good himself, and after he was satisfied, he just left?
Lin Wan hurried back to the dorm, walking and running at the same time.
Today, he had completed the first running mission. It was time to go back and claim his reward. Just thinking about that comfortable feeling made him excited.
As soon as he returned to the dorm, he grabbed a clean set of clothes and rushed into the bathroom.
After taking a shower and changing into fresh clothes, he was finally ready.
"Spirit, come on!"
"Okay~"
Ten seconds later...
Huh? I don't feel anything!
"Spirit, has it started yet?"
"It's already finished~"
It ended already? I didn't feel anything at all! That was so fast!?
"As your body's health keeps improving, a 1% healing effect is too small for you to notice anymore~" the spirit explained.
Lin Wan thought about it for a moment.
Well, no feeling is fine. As long as my body keeps getting healthier!
Thursday afternoon was the day for elective classes.
What used to be a free afternoon for having fun was now filled with electives. Some older students complained about having to take them, but their actions were much more honest. They still signed up for two courses.
Movie Appreciation and Tourism Culture each had one class, but they were held on different campuses.
One was at the old campus, and the other was at the new campus.
Fortunately, the new campus had been built right next to the old one. They even shared the same main entrance, and the classroom buildings were less than a thirty-minute walk apart.
It wasn't like one classroom was at the far north and the other at the far south.
As Lin Wan walked toward the Movie Appreciation classroom, he talked on the phone.
"Huh? You want me to save you a seat?"
Zhuo Feng pushed his bicycle with one hand while holding his phone with the other.
"Yeah. We picked the same two elective courses."
"Aren't you a second-year student?"
"Students from different years can take the same public elective courses."
"Oh, okay."
The Movie Appreciation class was held in a lecture hall with tiered seating.
Lin Wan arrived early and chose a seat by the window where the sunlight shone in. He placed his notebook on the seat beside him to save it for Zhuo Feng, then lazily rested his head on the desk.
The warm sunshine felt so comfortable that before long, he became sleepy.
After an unknown amount of time, he felt the seat next to him sink slightly, as if someone had sat down.
He opened his eyes, thinking Zhuo Feng had arrived.
Just as he was about to speak, he realized it was actually two girls.
One of them smiled at him.
"Excuse me, is someone sitting here?"
"Sorry, someone is."
Lin Wan calmly pointed at the seat beside him.
"What about the two seats farther outside? Are those taken too?"
A look of surprise flashed across the girl's face.
This girl's voice sounds so masculine... Could she be the Top-one?
"No."
He shook his head. The two girls then sat in the two outer seats.
Lin Wan looked around the classroom. It was already packed with students, and almost every seat was taken.
There were still a few empty seats left in the middle rows where six seats were connected together, but they were scattered one by one instead of being next to each other. The two girls probably didn't want to sit separately, so they came to the row with four connected seats instead.
Bzz... Bzz...
His phone vibrated. He answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?"
"On the left side of the blackboard, by the window, fourth row from the back."
"Okay."
Zhuo Feng hung up.
Carrying a plastic bag in one hand, he walked into the lecture hall.
It had to be said that with his tall height, long legs, and handsome face, he naturally attracted attention.
The moment he walked in, many girls quietly turned to look at him, all secretly hoping he would choose the seat beside them.
Of course, Zhuo Feng wasn't paying attention to anyone else.
He counted the rows of seats until he found Lin Wan, who was lying on the desk.
Then he walked along the aisle by the windows toward him.
The two girls sitting on the outside immediately straightened their backs. They pretended to look at their phones, but all their attention was on Zhuo Feng.
Is this handsome guy coming to sit here? Is he going to talk to us?
How should I talk to him without making it awkward?
What kind of girl does he like? Does he already have a girlfriend?
If he doesn't... would he agree to be my boyfriend?
Should our wedding be traditional Chinese or Western style?
Will we have a boy or a girl?
What should we name the baby?
The girl had already started imagining names for their future children. But then Zhuo Feng nudged Lin Wan.
"Move over."
"Huh?"
Lin Wan forced his heavy eyelids open and finally noticed Zhuo Feng.
"Oh."
He moved one seat toward the outside.
Crack!
"Huh?"
What just broke?
Lin Wan looked around curiously.
Was it the glass?
He looked at the window. It wasn't broken.
The girl bit her lip.
It was me! My heart just broke!!
The one I love is separated from me by mountains and seas, and those mountains and seas can never be crossed! Sure enough, handsome men are always taken already!
Completely unaware that the words "mountains and seas" had been stamped onto his forehead, Lin Wan looked at the plastic bag Zhuo Feng was carrying.
"What's in there?"
"Snacks. How can you watch a movie without snacks?"
Zhuo Feng took out two bags of potato chips, two bottles of water, and several childhood snacks.
"They still sell these?" Lin Wan asked in surprise as he looked at the packaging.
"I bought them online. I went to pick them up. Otherwise, why do you think I got here so late?"
"Oh, I see."
Zhuo Feng put everything into the desk compartment and pushed it toward Lin Wan.
"Take whatever you want."
The moment he heard that, Lin Wan quickly reached into the desk and pulled out a bag of snacks.
They looked like French fries but were much harder. Still, they tasted pretty good.
"Thanks for the treat. You eat first."
Lin Wan tore open the package and gave him a flattering smile, his eyes sparkling.
Looking into his eyes, Zhuo Feng couldn't help smiling back.
He took the bag and poured the snacks straight into his mouth, only stopping after the very last piece was gone.
"Hey... you..."
Lin Wan was speechless.
"...Forget it. As long as you're happy."
He grabbed another bag, opened it, and this time ate the snacks one piece at a time.
Ring—
The class bell rang.
A middle-aged teacher walked into the classroom.
He wore black-framed glasses. His shiny bald forehead reflected the light, and his slightly round belly stretched his grayish-green sweater.
He looked at the crowded classroom and first introduced himself.
Then he talked about the history of movies before showing clips from several classic black-and-white films.
Just like that, the ninety-minute class slowly passed.
In the last few minutes, he called attendance as usual before dismissing the class.
Since entering college, this was the easiest class Lin Wan had taken besides physical education.
The teacher hardly cared what the students did.
If you wanted to sleep, you could sleep.
If you wanted to play on your phone, you could.
As long as you didn't make noise or disturb others, everything was fine.
After walking out of the classroom, just as expected, several girls came over to ask Zhuo Feng for his contact information.
Wearing his baseball cap, Lin Wan stood nearby watching, feeling extremely jealous.
Can't you see me?!
I'm a pretty handsome guy too! Are you seriously pretending I don't exist?
"Excuse me, can I get your contact information?"
A voice suddenly came from beside him. Lin Wan happily turned his head.
Did heaven finally hear my wish? A girl finally noticed me?!
"Huh?"
The smile on his face disappeared the moment he saw who it was.
Who are you, dude?
Why are you holding your phone out to me? I don't want your phone.
He was just about to say he wasn't interested in buying a phone when Zhuo Feng walked over with his long strides.
"Let's go."
He grabbed Lin Wan's arm and pulled him away, casually pushing aside the other boy's phone, which was displaying a QR code.
The boy watched the two of them leave and awkwardly rubbed his nose.
It wasn't easy to finally meet someone who's exactly my type... and he already has a boyfriend! Damn it. Asking someone for their contact information right in front of their boyfriend... I've completely embarrassed myself this time!
As they walked downstairs, Zhuo Feng suddenly explained for some reason,
"I don't like rejecting people face to face, so I usually add them first and delete them the next day."
"Huh?"
After hearing that, Lin Wan instantly felt terrible.
Is he showing off?
So you're the popular one, huh?
So many people ask for your contact that your WeChat can't even hold them all, right?
Thinking that, he angrily sped down the stairs with loud footsteps, leaving Zhuo Feng behind.
