Chapter 4: Sentiment

  Qiao Yu thought that was the end of it, but little did he know that this was only just the beginning. As his medical school courses deepened, he found himself being taken advantage of by a girl named Ji Siyu who had "ulterior motives".

  In just a few days, Ji Sixuan openly flirted with Qiao Yu again in the school cafeteria.

  At that time, Qiao Yu was having dinner with several classmates in the restaurant. The two people sitting opposite him suddenly laughed abnormally and winked at him while laughing. He turned his head and saw Ji Siyu standing behind him.

  Ji Siyuan smiled and greeted Qiao Yu, then put down the dinner plate, reached out to touch Qiao Yu's hand that was holding chopsticks, and stroked it along the bones. Qiao Yu, who had been teased for a long time, seemed to have developed immunity, looking at their intertwined hands without frowning, calmly raised his head and asked, "What are you doing?"

  Ji Siyun was getting into the swing of things, "Memorizing bones, a person's single hand has 27 bones, the teacher is going to test us on this next class, I've been touching the human skeleton model all day and I'm about to throw up, but actually touching it really helps with memorization."

  After finishing, he suddenly exclaimed and quickly took out hand cream from his bag, starting to apply it to Qiao Yu's hands. "Brother Qiao, since you often draw and come into contact with pens and paper, it's very damaging to your hands. It's nothing, just apply some hand cream to nourish them."

  After finishing speaking, he started 'feeling' her up and down again.

  Her slender fingers were cool to the touch, her fingertips lightly resting on his hand, exerting a slight pressure on his knuckles. Qiao Yu's hairs stood on end as he felt a chill run down his spine, and when he looked up, he saw her smiling eyes.

  "When kittens and puppies are fearful or angry, the 'hair' on their bodies will stand up, making themselves appear larger to intimidate their opponents." Ji Si Xuan bent down, leaning close to Qiao Yu, blinking her eyes with an innocent face, "Qiao Yu, do you want to intimidate me?"

  Qiao Yu suddenly smiled, his clear and handsome eyebrows becoming even more captivating. With a half-amused and half-helpless tone, he asked, "Ji Siyuan, when will you... be serious for once?"

  I've always been serious about it

  Ji Siyun straightened up, her hands also returned to their original position behind her back, and she looked at him with a serious expression in her eyes, "I've been teasing you all along."

  Qiao Yu suddenly became solemn, his eyes deepening as he gazed at Ji Siyu with a hint of a smile that wasn't quite a smile, saying nothing, his emotions unreadable.

  Ji Siyun had never seen Qiao Yu like this, and was a bit flustered. Just as she was about to speak up to explain something, she saw that he couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing with his head lowered, waving his hand. "Alright, alright, stop teasing me. They're waiting for you, hurry up."

  After finishing, he hinted that she would go see the three roommates waiting at the entrance of the cafeteria. Ji Siyu was frightened by him just now and her expression was uncertain, but she nodded obediently and turned to leave.

  Her figure disappeared at the entrance of the cafeteria, and the two people who were eating with Qiao Yu patted their chests.

  "You scared me to death, I thought you were going to turn against me just now."

  "Yes, yes, you're scaring people with that serious face of yours. Just now, even Ji Xiao's face turned white."

  Qiao Yu lowered his head and stared at the dinner plate, smiled slightly without saying a word, continued eating, but was increasingly delighted in his heart. [Cotton candy updates quickly, website page is refreshing, few ads, I love this kind of website the most, must give a good review]

  I was just trying to scare her, how could I bear to really be fierce with her, after all she's just a little girl, and her face has turned pale.

  A few days later, Qiao Yu "ran into" Ji Si Xuan again in the library.

  Qiao Yu took down a book from the bookshelf, and coincidentally, someone opposite him also pulled out a book. Then he saw a pair of smiling eyes through the gap between the two books.

  The person opposite him disappeared quickly, and in the next second, that person came around the bookshelf and stood in front of him.

  The library was quiet, perhaps because of what happened last time, Ji Siyu didn't speak either, she just smiled and looked at him.

  Qiao Yu silently nodded and was about to leave.

  Ji Siyun lowered her head and saw Qiao Yu's shoelaces, her eyes lit up, and she whispered while squatting down, "Your shoelace is untied, let me help you tie it."

  ！”

  A girl crouched in front of her, no matter how calm Ren Qiao Yu was, she couldn't stand up with dignity. Following her, he also squatted down, "No need, I'll do it myself."

  Ji Siyun's movements were quick, and at the time, Qiao Yu just thought that her shoelace-tying technique was a bit strange, but he didn't think much of it. It wasn't until she finished tying them and stood up that he realized something was off.

  He looked at this dead knot with a bewildered expression, then looked at the girl in front of him who was smiling and chatting, had he been fooled again?

  Wen Shaoyong entered the bedroom and saw Qiao Yu sitting on a chair, bending down to tie his shoelaces. Lin Chen was walking back and forth in front of him, sighing as he walked.

  Qiao Yu shooed Lin Chen away like a fly and raised his head to see Wen Shaoqing seeking help, "Quickly come over and take a look!"

  Wen Shaqing recognized it at a glance, "A surgical knot? Who tied it?"

  Lin Chen's face lit up with excitement, "Who else could it be? I just heard today that someone saw Qiao being taken advantage of in the cafeteria a few days ago."

  Qiao Yu lowered his head and continued to fight, "Don't talk nonsense, she's just recognizing her bones."

  "Sigh, this reason is really... making me powerless to refute." Lin Chen looked up at the roof with a worried expression, "Why didn't anyone come to 'feel' my hand and recognize my bones?"

  Wen Shaoyong took a few more glances, then looked up and replied seriously, "From the technique used, it seems that the person who tied this surgical knot is a beginner. The two hands applied uneven force, so after tightening, it's slightly skewed. Judging from the direction of the skew, this person is accustomed to using their right hand."

  Qiao Yu was speechless, "You want me to comment on this?!"

  Wen Shaoqing's face was innocent, "Didn't you ask me to take a look?"

  "I'm going to show you how it's done!" Qiao Yu couldn't bear it anymore, turned his head and complained to Xiao Ziyuan who was quietly reading under the lamp, "Boss, are you still in charge?!"

  Xiao Ziyuan raised his head from the book, glanced at him, and looked calmly at Qiao Yu with a righteous expression, "Of course, I have to take care of it."

  After finishing, he looked at Wen Shaoying and Lin Chen, slightly with a majestic condemnation, "Who told you to untie it? Didn't you see that some people simply don't want to untie it? The tighter the better."

  。”

  One sentence was said with double meaning, Wen Shaoqian and Lin Chen shook their shoulders and laughed uncontrollably.

  Xiao Ziyuan finished speaking and looked at Qiao Yu again, still smiling warmly, "It's okay, you continue."

  That night many people saw Qiao Yu, who was rumored to be gentle and calm, storming down the corridor with his shoelaces tied in a dead knot.

  At that time, Ji Siyu was so obsessed with practicing knots that she would tie them whenever she saw anything resembling a rope. Her obsession was so terrifying that Qiao Yu didn't dare wear shoes with shoelaces for a long time, fearing that this 'girl' might suddenly appear in front of him and start tying knots, and he wouldn't be able to stop her.

  Actually, Qiao Yu and Ji Siyuan were just a small matter in everyone's eyes, no more than one chasing and the other hiding. Qiao Yu's attitude was key, and all along he seemed to be quite indifferent to Ji Siyuan, without anything special. Everyone was happy to watch the excitement, but when things accumulated to a certain extent, a spark would always appear to break this tranquility, and the spark of this matter was because of a photo.

  There is a building marked with an "X" sign, which has been baptized by the wind and rain for hundreds of years. In order to protect the building, it is only open on the third Saturday of each month, where student union members serve as photographers to allow students to take photos as souvenirs.

  Ji Siyuan wanted to take a photo since she entered the school, but it wasn't because she forgot and missed the open time, it was just that she came too late and couldn't get in line.

  One Saturday, she made an exception and got up early to take photos with her roommate, but San Bao was wrapped in a quilt on the "bed" pretending to be dead. He Ge is a "heavyweight" person, and she naturally couldn't move him. She didn't dare disturb Sui Yi, who had always been particular about sleep quality, so she could only go alone.

  Those days were in the midst of a cold snap, although the warm sunshine was high, but it was very windy. Ji Si Xuan and others were on the side, but from time to time someone would rush to cut in line. After a long time, she was slightly annoyed, so she simply watched them to see how long they could keep cutting in line.

  That morning, Qiao Yu had arranged for someone to play basketball, but it was too windy and they came back after playing for a while.

  A group of people walked by, laughing and chatting, and saw a crowd gathered in the distance discussing something in hushed tones.

  "There are still so many people lining up to take photos?"

  "Iconic building, you dare say you haven't taken a photo?"

  Qiao Yu stopped in his tracks and stared at something for a long time, then suddenly spoke up with a thoughtful expression, "I think... I really haven't taken a photo of"

  。”

  That group of 'girls' were obviously hostile towards Ji Siyuan, one after another rushing forward to take pictures, with more and more people gathering, looking at her with disdain and ridicule on their faces.

  Ji Siyun rolled her eyes and didn't look at them, holding back her temper and enduring again. Just as she was about to explode, Qiao Yu suddenly appeared behind her, pulling her arm and walking to the front of the building, smiling and gesturing to the several 'girls' waiting for a spot and the boy taking pictures, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry, help me take a group photo, don't mind, right?"

  Qiao Yu was famous for being a good person, and since it was obvious that someone had cut in front of him, he spoke politely, and several people blushed with embarrassment, hurriedly saying it was no big deal.

  The boy who took the photo laughed happily, "No problem, Teacher Qiao."

  All of this was beyond Ji Siyu's expectations. It wasn't until Qiao Yu pushed her in front of the camera that she came back to herself, turning her head to look at him with a surprised and delighted expression.

  Qiao Yu patted her back lightly and smiled as he looked ahead, "Let's take a look at the camera."

  The flash had just flashed when a 'girl' rushed up.

  "Qiao Shixiong, I also want to take a photo with you!"

  Ji Siyuan was squeezed to one side but didn't get angry, she took a glance from afar at Qiao Yu who was surrounded by a group of 'girls', smiled triumphantly and turned around to leave.

  Qiao Yu reluctantly agreed and after taking a few photos together, he quickly extricated himself and had only taken two steps when he heard the voices of several 'female' students discussing behind him.

  "Did you see Ji Siyu's face just now? She almost got internal injuries from holding back her laughter!"

  "Serves her right! Isn't she the most shameless? Eldest disciple Zhao obviously doesn't like her, but she still has the nerve to chase after him."

  "Right! What a demon 'girl'! With the surname Ji, she's called a prostitute!"

  "Haha, well said!"

  The words became increasingly unpleasant, Qiao Yu's eyes narrowed and his smile gradually disappeared, his eyebrows also slightly furrowed. He turned around to glance at those few "girls" before lowering his eyelids, making it impossible for anyone to see the emotions slowly flowing in his eyes. When he spoke, his voice was also several degrees colder: "It was just a joke, why did you have to say something so unpleasant? With Ji Siyu's conditions, there won't be a lack of people chasing after her. If it's because of me, I don't think I have that much charm."

  Even if I had to say that we were a good match, perhaps it's me who isn't good enough for her. If the reason you're saying this is because there are guys among those who pursued her who are your ideal types, then you're jealous of the wrong person - you should be blaming yourselves for not being able to get your ideal type to notice you, rather than blaming her."

  A group of people who were originally bored and watching the commotion on the side suddenly became excited when they saw this.

  "Hey, hey, hey, look quickly, Qiao Yu is... angry? This is rare."

  "When was he last angry?" Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time, "It's been too long, I don't remember."

  Xiao Ziyuan, who had always been taciturn, suddenly spoke up, "The truth is revealed in subtle details. Look, someone who has confessed to Qiao Yu and been rejected, yet when they see him again, they can smile and greet him with a calm demeanor, without any awkwardness. Who else can do that? That's what I call a master."

  Wen Shaoqing nodded in agreement, "That's also true. Take a master like Xiao Ziyuan, for example. He's not surrounded by scandals either. Everyone knows that Xiao Ziyuan has a Yu Xixia by his side, but only Qiao Yu is clean and pure."

  Wen Shaoqing said, "You glare at me for what? It's not like I was the one who said it."

  Lin Chen was confused, "From Qiao Yu's tone, it doesn't seem like he has no interest in Ji Siyuan."

  Wen Shaoqing added, "Yes, and last time, she even helped her borrow a specimen for inspection."

  Qiao Yu walked over and just heard this sentence, "That thing... can't let a 'girl' go borrow it, right?"

  "Ji Siyuan is a 'girl' after all? Her ferocity might even surpass that of boys."

  "Ji Siyuan beckons with her fingers, I don't know how many people are willing to lend to her, 'to the death' is probably not spared."

  "Mind your own business! If two people are willing to chase and be chased, that's romance! What do you know?"

  "So, Wen Shaqing, who did you borrow that specimen from?"

  “……”

  A group of people walked away laughing and joking, while Qiao Yu, who was walking at the back, turned around and looked behind him, as if he was looking for someone.
