Even though it was a public course with many students, very few were genuinely paying attention, especially in a less important class like Computer Fundamentals. Generally speaking, as long as you didn’t cause too much trouble, the teacher wouldn’t mind. Therefore, Feng Guang and Ou Xun’s low-voiced conversation only earned a warning glance from the teacher at the podium.
Feng Guang reluctantly set down her pen and pretended to focus on the blackboard, avoiding any sideways glances.
Ou Xun casually traced the characters she had written with his fingertip. He quietly tucked his notebook into his backpack, then opened the book on the desk, pretending to pay attention, though he hadn’t turned a single page.
Breathing sounds are usually almost inaudible, yet it felt as if he could hear hers clearly. Suddenly, he thought it was the most pleasant sound in the world. The wind from the window carried her fragrance, lingering at the tip of his nose—it was intoxicatingly delightful.
His throat tightened, and he felt restless. The blood coursing through his body boiled, longing for the sensation of her body pressed against his, the softness of her chest… She was so close; all he had to do was reach out, and he could push her down and possess her over and over again…
Ou Xun’s breathing became rapid; her allure was too overwhelming to resist. As he began to reach for her, the bell rang, interrupting his movements.
The class passed quickly—at least, Ou Xun felt it went by too fast. He noticed the people around him packing up and stood up as well.
Feng Guang saw him standing up but not moving, just looking at her, his gaze filled with some inexplicable emotion. Confused, she paused for a moment, then instinctively put on a proud attitude. “Although our previous interactions weren’t too pleasant, I’m magnanimous, so I won’t hold it against you. I’m leaving now. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.” After awkwardly responding to her, Ou Xun felt like kicking himself for letting her leave just like that.
But Feng Guang had already walked past him and exited the classroom. He hurried after her, only to be blocked at the door by two people.
Guo Ming, grinning, said, “Hey, Ou Xun! Xiao Lu’s computer is broken, and I can’t fix it, so I brought her to you.”
After finishing, he winked at Ou Xun, suggesting he should seize the opportunity.
“Ou Xun, my computer suddenly won’t turn on,” Zhao Xiao Lu pleaded, looking pitiful.
However, Ou Xun coldly replied, “I’m not a computer repairman.”
Zhao Xiao Lu stiffened, her expression awkward. She hadn’t expected Ou Xun to refuse her. Even Guo Ming next to her widened his eyes in shock. Hey, buddy, isn’t this your dream girl!? What happened to the childhood sweethearts and mutual understanding!?
Ou Xun didn’t pay them any mind and hurried toward the stairs. Guo Ming had never seen him so full of energy before. Even when he had admitted he liked Zhao Xiao Lu, there was a lethargic air about him. It felt like he was just casually mentioning something unrelated.
Guo Ming scratched his head. “Has this kid changed recently? I remember him saying the Computer Fundamentals course was stupid during freshman year. Besides, he’s already a senior; why does he come to class every day now?”
“Could it be… Ou Xun likes the way this teacher explains things?” Zhao Xiao Lu speculated.
“Impossible! He’s disdained all the teachers for computer-related courses. Besides, this teacher isn’t a big beauty. What could he possibly want to attend class for?”
“Ou Xun is acting a bit strange,” Zhao Xiao Lu said, her gaze dimming. Ever since childhood, she had relied on Ou Xun whenever she had trouble, and he would always help her. She viewed him as the best older brother, but recently, he seemed to be growing colder toward her.
Guo Ming couldn’t stand seeing her sad, so he quickly changed the subject. “So what if it’s just fixing a computer? Without him, what’s the big deal? Come on, I’ll help you fix it!”
At that moment, he completely forgot that he had just tried to create an opportunity for Ou Xun and Zhao Xiao Lu to interact…
