Chapter 29: To Give Oneself

  "Hello, who are you looking for?" a young girl's voice came from the other end of the phone.

  Xiao Ping felt that the voice didn't sound like Song Lei, so he politely asked: "I'm looking for Song Lei, may I ask..."

  Before Xiao Ping could finish speaking, he heard the other side shouting loudly: "Song Lei! There's a man looking for you, you little slut, actually hiding from your mother to find a wild man outside!"

  Xiao Ping, who heard this, also broke out in a cold sweat. The girls at university really spoke boldly. On the phone, Song Lei's voice quickly rang out: "Get out, you're the one who's promiscuous! Hello, I'm Song Lei, who are you?"

  "Hello Song Lei, I'm Xiao Ping."

  "What's wrong?!" The Song Lei on the other end of the phone was taken aback for a moment, then explained somewhat awkwardly: "Our dormitory mates like to joke around, don't mind what they just said."

  Xiao Pinggan smiled and said: "Hehe, no need to mind, your classmate... is very outgoing."

  Song Lei quickly recovered and said with a big smile: "Speak up, what's the matter?"

  "Can't you look for me if nothing's wrong?" Xiao Ping deliberately teased this cheerful girl: "Actually, I missed you."

  "Don't pretend anymore!" Song Lei ruthlessly exposed Xiao Ping: "You left your phone number with me for so long and didn't contact me, suddenly calling me must mean something's up!"

  "Haha, indeed there is something. I heard that your school has a professor named Song Tianming, do you know him?"

  Song Le asked strangely: "You're looking for me... what's the matter with our school's professor?"

  Xiao Ping replied straightforwardly: "I heard he's doing research on artificial breeding of Chinese sturgeon, I want to learn more about it."

  Song Le smiled and said: "I don't dare say that about other professors, but I'm really quite familiar with Professor Song."

  "Can you introduce us then?" Xiao Ping hastily asked.

  "No problem." Song Le replied very concisely, and then asked Xiao Ping: "But how will you thank me?"

  Xiao Ping deliberately said with a difficult tone: "Hey, with such a good relationship between us, do we still need to say thank you and go through the motions? This is also too formal!"

  "Don't be ridiculous!" Song Lei wasn't fooled by Xiao Ping's words and hesitated on the phone, saying: "How can I thank you? For someone as wealthy as you, treating me to a meal is already too cheap..."

  "Or I'll offer myself as a gift then." Xiao Ping smiled and said: "Isn't this sincere enough?"

  "What a great idea!" Contrary to Xiao Ping's expectations, Song Lei was extremely pleased with his suggestion: "It's settled then!"

  "This little girl isn't serious, is she?" Song Lei's reaction made Xiao Ping a bit nervous, but thinking of her delicate face and fiery figure, he couldn't help but have some expectations.

  When Xiao Ping was lost in thought, Song Lei's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'll tell you, there's a pesky guy at school who always comes to bother me. I heard he's going to confess to me publicly tomorrow. You come and pretend to be my boyfriend tomorrow, help me get rid of this trouble, and I'll take you to meet... our school's Professor Song."

  "What you mean by 'dedicating one's body' is this?" Xiao Ping said sorrowfully: "And also pretending to be a boyfriend, isn't this too melodramatic?"

  "Lend me your body to get out of trouble, isn't that dedicating one's life?!" Song Lei laughed on the other end of the phone: "Alright then, it's settled! Tomorrow at 10 am, meet at the entrance of the school's comprehensive gymnasium. Bye bye!"

  Song Le hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking, not giving Xiao Ping a chance to object. Xiao Ping reluctantly put away his phone, but ultimately decided to keep the appointment tomorrow. For him, meeting Professor Song, who was studying the reproduction of knife fish, was very important, and it was worth paying some price for it. Moreover, Xiao Ping had a good impression of Song Le, and even if he just wanted to help his friend, he would still go to Nanda tomorrow.

  The next day, Xiao Ping made a special trip to the mall and bought himself a new shirt, a new jacket, new leather shoes, and even new socks. The old saying "people rely on their clothes, Buddha relies on gold" is really true. After putting on this set of new clothes that cost several thousand yuan, even Xiao Ping felt more spirited when he looked in the mirror. When the salesgirl was ringing up Xiao Ping's purchases, her watery eyes were softer and her smile was sweeter than when she faced other customers.

  "It turns out that brother is still quite handsome!" Xiao Ping was very satisfied with his image, hailed a taxi and rushed to Nan Da.

  When Xiao Ping arrived at the south gate, he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. In those years, Xiao Ping had also received admission notices from famous domestic schools. If it weren't for his grandfather's accident, he would have already graduated from a famous school and become a university student. Xiao Ping, dressed in brand new clothes, was still very handsome. When he stood at the gate, reminiscing about the past, he attracted the attention of many female students. Many girls couldn't help but steal glances at him when they passed by, guessing which department this young handsome guy belonged to and why they had never seen him before.

  Xiao Ping was always an optimistic person and soon shook off the faint sadness, striding into the campus of Nan Da. As a national first-class university and provincial key university, it's natural that Nan Da occupies a vast area. Xiao Ping, who had just arrived, had no idea where the comprehensive gymnasium was and could only slowly search for it in the campus according to the signs.

  Fortunately, Xiao Ping arrived relatively early, so he didn't have to rush. As he searched for the comprehensive gymnasium, he felt the unique atmosphere of the campus and took the opportunity to appreciate the passing university girls. Although most of these female students were ordinary in appearance, they won out in being at their best age, and seeing so many vibrant young women in one place made Xiao Ping feel quite good.

  However, Xiao Ping's good mood gradually disappeared twenty minutes later. As the clock struck ten, the so-called comprehensive gymnasium was nowhere to be seen, and Xiao Ping also started to get anxious. At this moment, Xiao Ping saw two female students walking towards him, so he walked up and said: "Excuse me, can I bother you two for a moment?"

  Two female students with ordinary looks were suddenly stopped and both of them were startled. However, when they saw Xiao Ping's appearance clearly, a faint blush appeared on their faces, and a short-haired girl smiled and said: "Okay, what's up?"

  "I'd like to ask where the Comprehensive Sports Hall is." Xiao Ping asked politely.

  Xiao Ping only asked for directions, and the two girls felt a little disappointed. However, the short-haired girl still smiled politely: "Go straight along this road, then turn right at the second intersection."

  "Is it right at the second intersection?" Xiao Ping asked carefully, fearing that he would get lost again.

  Another round-faced girl looked at Xiao Ping and suddenly said: "Why don't we take you there, anyway, there's nothing to do now."

  Xiao Ping was hesitating whether to bother others, when Song Lei's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Alright, you're colluding with someone else again behind my back!"
