Xiu Gou's Taming Record

"Aren't you fucking ashamed?" Yu Heng looked at Hao Junran's bird's nest-like hair and the sleep still smeared in the corners of his eyes. "At least wipe your face, okay?"

"What's so embarrassing?" Hao Junran grabbed his coat and put it on. "Who cares about anyone at eight in the morning? We're all half-dead. We'll talk about it when we get back."

Hou Xudong stood at the door, pushing up his glasses: "Hurry up, we're going to be late."

Liu Tianqi, carrying a bag of steamed buns and a cup of soy milk, stood at the door and said, "Damn, I knew you guys couldn't get up. Here's breakfast for you!"

"Godfather!" Hao Junran went over and handed out a bag of steamed buns and soy milk. "Brother Qi, could you provide this service every day from now on?"

"Unless I really am your father!" Liu Tianqi rolled his eyes at him, then handed out the portions for Yu Heng and Hou Xudong. "These are for you. Eat them on the way, or you'll really miss your chance."

The four of them rushed out of the dormitory building. Hao Junran yawned, tears welling up in her eyes: "I mean, who invented this 8 AM? It's inhumane!"

"And this class was even a really easy one," Hou Xudong complained.

"These are just obedience tests," Yu Heng said, pursing his lips. "Otherwise, what's the point of these easy courses?"

The classroom at 8 a.m. is on the first floor. I slipped in through the back door and found that it was already mostly full.

A professor in his fifties, wearing reading glasses, was slowly adjusting the projector on the podium.

Yu Heng glanced around the classroom and saw that there were still a few empty seats in the back row by the window.

"Over there," he pointed.

Crouching low, Hao Junran slipped over and sat down, slumping into the chair with a sigh of relief: "I made it..."

Yu Heng stuffed his schoolbag into the desk and looked up at the projector.

The old professor pushed up his glasses and began his lecture, his voice calm and his tone even.

It has an excellent hypnotic effect.

After listening for only ten minutes, Hao Junran's head started nodding off.

Yu Heng leaned back in his chair, took out his phone, and put it on silent.

Ning Yutong sent another message: "Yu Heng, I've bought the white over-the-knee socks! They're the ones with lace trim, is that okay?"

A screenshot from Taobao followed.

Yu Heng clicked on the picture and looked at it; lace trim...

This girl has a good eye for choosing.

He typed: "Okay, remember to bring another pair of regular socks to wear before the transformation."

"Okay!"

Just as he was lost in thought, Hao Junran suddenly nudged his arm and whispered, "Hey, look ahead."

Yu Heng raised his head and looked in the direction Hao Junran was pointing.

A girl was sitting in the front row, near the aisle.

She had long hair draped over her shoulders, wore a thin cotton coat, and sat with her back ramrod straight.

Just from her back view, you can tell she has a great presence.

"Who is it?" Yu Heng asked.

"Meng Shirui!" Hao Junran winked, "The one we were talking about that night."

Yu Heng remembered.

He really didn't recognize him.

The two of them have never met in their lives.

Hao Junran nudged Yu Heng with his elbow again: "How was it? Pretty good, right?"

Yu Heng glanced at him but didn't reply.

He was indeed observing Meng Shirui's back.

Her hair is really well-maintained; you can tell it's the kind of hair that has never been dyed or permed since she was a child.

"I'm asking you a question!" Hao Junran lowered his voice. "Are you tempted? It's not too late to rush up and ask for her WeChat. I'll cover for you."

"Cover your head, my foot!" Yu Heng looked away. "Focus on your lesson."

"What the hell are you listening to?" Hao Junran pouted. "This old man is chanting like a sutra; my eyelids are practically glued shut."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old professor on the podium adjusted his glasses and slowly said, "Those students in the back, they seem to be having quite an engaging conversation?"

A burst of laughter filled the classroom, and many people turned around to look at the back rows.

Hao Junran lowered his head and pretended to be reading the textbook carefully.

Yu Heng met the professor's gaze with an innocent expression.

The old professor didn't delve into it further, narrowed his eyes, and continued reading his hypnotic PowerPoint presentation.

The class passed by in a daze.

The old professor finished his last sentence: "Alright, that concludes this lesson. get out of class dismissed."

The classroom instantly came alive.

"Finally get out of class is over. I suspect this PowerPoint presentation is older than the professor himself." Hao Junran stretched. "Rice, rice! I'm starving!"

"Didn't you eat two steamed buns?" Hou Xudong asked while packing his books.

"That stuff is utterly useless." Hao Junran patted his stomach. "Are we coming? To the second cafeteria, I want braised pork today!"

Liu Tianqi had already stood up: "Let's go."

Yu Heng stood up, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Meng Shirui also getting up in the front row. Her movements were neither hurried nor slow.

"What are you looking at? Let's go!" Hao Junran urged.

"What's the rush?" Yu Heng followed them outside.

As they reached the classroom door, Meng Shirui happened to be coming from the other side, and the two almost bumped into each other at the door.

Yu Heng subconsciously turned his body to the side.

Meng Shirui paused, then looked up.

Eyes facing each other.

Only then did Yu Heng truly see her face clearly.

My memory suddenly became clear.

She's really beautiful, with big eyes and very dark pupils.

When she looked at him, her eyes were calm, without surprise or flinching.

It's like looking at a complete stranger in the same class.

She nodded slightly as a greeting.

Then she turned sideways and walked past him.

Yu Heng stood there, raising an eyebrow as he looked at her.

"That was just now..." Hao Junran leaned closer, "...made eye contact? Talked to each other?"

"They made eye contact, but didn't say anything." Yu Heng looked away.

How does it feel? Are you tempted?

"Fluttering my ass," Yu Heng scoffed. "You think this is an idol drama?"

However, Meng Shirui's appearance is truly on par with idol dramas; in terms of looks alone, she surpasses He Mengyao.

No wonder he hesitated for a long time when this girl confessed her feelings to him in his past life.

If it were now...

Yu Heng clicked his tongue inwardly.

He'll probably agree to it for now and see how it goes.

Anyway, dating isn't marriage, so if things don't go well, you can always break up.

Yu Heng and his group headed towards the second canteen.

The cafeteria was already quite crowded, with long queues at the windows.

There are quite a few couples holding hands in this cafeteria.

Even when eating, we have to sit close together, feeding each other bites.

This kind of off-duty romance is great! You can go to class and relax every day.

They have everything they need, from food and drink to accommodation and transportation, so they don't have to worry about anything during their four years of university.

"Hey, Yu Heng." Hao Junran tapped Yu Heng's plate with his chopsticks. "What are you daydreaming about? Thinking about Meng Shirui?"

Yu Heng looked up: "Why are you thinking about her?"

"Tsk, let me tell you," Hao Junran said excitedly, "Meng Shirui has quite a few suitors. Wang Shuo from our class, for example, pursued her so diligently, bringing her breakfast every day."

Liu Tianqi interjected, "Wang Shuo? You mean that guy with glasses who talks like a girl?"

"Yes, it's him." Hao Junran lowered his voice, "But I heard that Meng Shirui completely ignored him and gave all the gifts she gave him to her roommate."

Hou Xudong pushed up his glasses: "Isn't this normal? What decent person would be interested in someone like that?"

"Indeed, if Wang Shuo grew his hair long, I doubt anyone would be able to tell he was a man unless you said it," Hao Junran commented.

"Seriously, if he hadn't been pursuing Meng Shirui, I would have thought he was gay," Liu Tianqi said, squinting. "Where is this guy from? He doesn't look like someone from the North."

Yu Heng and his roommates were all from Hebei Province.

"It seems to be from Tianfu?" Hou Xudong said.

"From Tianfu?" Yu Heng couldn't help but exclaim, "Then he might really be gay."

"Why?" Hao Junran asked.

Yu Heng smiled and said, "This is a local specialty!"

However, his effeminate manner doesn't seem to be the popular style in Chengdu.
