On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter
Chapter Summary
Several senior students curiously turned their gazes toward them, mainly focusing on the four outstandingly beautiful girls, Su Yuqing and Chen Mo, and the uniquely elegant Shen Xinghe and Zhou Yue. " The boy with the highlights became increasingly impatient, and some people around had already stopped to watch, making the girl even more embarrassed. "The boy with the highlights glanced at the growing crowd around him, then at Chen Mo, whose aura was extraordinary, and Shen Xinghe, who had alread...
"This plaza is really well designed; it makes good use of the space and provides a place to rest," Zhao Ya said softly, clearly satisfied with the quiet and comfortable environment.
After sitting down to rest, the group finally had time to observe their surroundings more carefully.
The electronic screens at the edge of the square scrolled through information about academic lectures given by medical school professors, interviews with outstanding students, and case competitions.
"Wow, look at that [Practical Surgery Competition], the prize money is so high!
" Lin Xiaoxiao pointed at the screen.
"The practical exercise won't be a real surgery, will it?
" Zhao Ya asked in surprise.
"No, it's usually surgery performed on animals.
Although they are different from humans, some surgeries are still very difficult.
" Shen Xinghe clearly knew more about this.
"I see.
Animals would accept it much better.
" Zhao Ya nodded in understanding.
“If you learn this line of work, you’ll have to deal with people sooner or later.
If you’re afraid of that, you’ll only end up with an unbalanced skill set,” Zhou Yue said to Zhao Ya with a smile.
Their arrival also attracted the attention of some students who were resting in the square.
Several senior students curiously turned their gazes toward them, mainly focusing on the four outstandingly beautiful girls, Su Yuqing and Chen Mo, and the uniquely elegant Shen Xinghe and Zhou Yue.
They exchanged a few words in hushed tones, but did not go forward to disturb them, only smiling amicably.
Because many of them are couples here.
Sitting here, you can feel an atmosphere that is different from the tranquility of the library or the excitement of the stadium.
It is more open, communicative, and full of youthful energy.
After resting for about fifteen minutes, the perceived temperature dropped considerably, and the group stood up again.
"I feel alive again.
" Zhou Yue stood up and stretched her arms and legs.
"It's almost lunchtime.
There's a third canteen nearby.
I heard their stir-fries and specialty food stalls are amazing.
Want to try them?
"At this point, everyone also felt hungry.
After all, we've visited quite a few areas this morning.
Exploring the campus is certainly fun, but satisfying my rumbling stomach is clearly the more important task at hand.
The group left the sunken plaza and walked towards the third canteen recommended by Zhou Yue, chatting and laughing.
It was lunchtime, and the closer you got to the cafeteria area, the denser the crowd became.
The campus radio played upbeat music, mixed with the aromas of various foods, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Just as they were about to reach the cafeteria entrance, a slightly heated argument broke out nearby, attracting their attention.
A stylishly dressed boy with a few bright blue highlights in his hair was holding a camera and said impatiently to a plainly dressed girl wearing thick glasses, "Hey, how many times have I told you?
Be natural, don't be so stiff!
We're a street photography agency, we want a casual and natural look, not ID photos!
"The girl being photographed appeared extremely nervous and flustered, her face flushed red, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.
She whispered, "I'm sorry, senior...
I, I'm not very good at it...
""If you don't know how, then learn!
If you can't even manage such a simple expression, how are you going to participate in our club's recruitment campaign?
" The boy with the highlights became increasingly impatient, and some people around had already stopped to watch, making the girl even more embarrassed.
Chen Mo frowned slightly, and Su Yuqing and Zhao Ya also showed a hint of reluctance in their eyes.
Just then, Shen Xinghe, without stopping, casually uttered a sentence, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of the two arguing people: "To fail to capture the characteristics of the subject and instead blame the other party for not meeting one's rigid preconceived notions, the photographer's level is evident.
"His tone was flat and straightforward, without any deliberate sarcasm, yet it was like a needle, precisely puncturing the self-righteous balloon of the boy with dyed hair.
The boy with dyed hair was stunned, clearly not expecting anyone to publicly embarrass him, especially with such a pointed remark.
He turned his head sharply towards the source of the voice, intending to get angry, but the moment he saw Shen Xinghe's face, his anger faltered.
A hint of amazement and astonishment flashed in his eyes, only to be replaced by annoyance: "Who are you?
Do you even know anything about photography before you start pointing fingers?
"Shen Xinghe didn't even stop completely, but just glanced at him, his gaze lingering on his camera for a fraction of a second: "Nice equipment.
What a pity.
"After saying that, he continued walking towards the cafeteria, completely ignoring the other person.
This kind of ignoring is more embarrassing than a direct rebuttal.
This made Chen Mo and the others exchange chuckles.
Shen Xinghe's lukewarm personality was really quite annoying.
It's thanks to his appearance that he's still alive.
"Stop right there!
Explain yourself!
What do you mean by 'what a pity'!
" The boy with the dyed hair couldn't save face and took two steps forward to try and stop Shen Xinghe.
Chen Mo naturally stepped to the side, seemingly casually, but he stood perfectly between the boy and Shen Xinghe.
He was tall and straight, his eyes calm but carrying an undeniable aura of composure: "Student, you're blocking the way at the cafeteria entrance.
"His voice wasn't loud, but it had a certain power that made the boy with dyed hair subconsciously stop in his tracks.
Chen Mo's gaze wasn't particularly sharp, yet it made the boy feel an invisible pressure, as if he had been casually glanced at by some ferocious beast.
Zhou Yue immediately smoothed things over, smiling as she said to the still-dazed girl, "Don't be nervous, classmate.
Just relax and take the picture.
The most natural thing is when you're comfortable.
"Then she said to the boy with the highlights, "Senior, take it slow.
Newcomers need encouragement.
"Lin Xiaoxiao muttered under her breath, "Yeah, why be so fierce...
"The boy with the highlights glanced at the growing crowd around him, then at Chen Mo, whose aura was extraordinary, and Shen Xinghe, who had already walked away.
In the end, he didn't persist.
His face turned pale and then red, and he said to the girl in an annoyed tone, "Forget it, let's leave it at that for today!
"After saying that, he reluctantly put away his camera.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, glanced gratefully at Zhou Yue, then looked curiously at Shen Xinghe's departing figure before quickly lowering her head and walking away.
What the boy didn't know was that the president of his street photography club had already approached Shen Xinghe and even begged him to join the club.
He had to thank Chen Mo for stopping him; thankfully, he didn't clash with Shen Xinghe, otherwise he might have been expelled from the gang.
After all, it's easy to find a third-rate photographer, but a top-notch model is hard to come by.
"I used to think that coming to medical school might be boring because I would meet a group of serious people, but now it seems that the school is quite interesting and not the kind of serious feeling that you would have when facing doctors in the traditional sense.
""I didn't expect there to be a street photography club like this.
" Lin Xiaoxiao laughed with some surprise.
"Actually, it's the same no matter what university you go to.
Even the top-tier universities or the police academies with strict discipline, you can still have fun and play around.
There are all kinds of clubs and organizations.
Just don't get distracted when you're studying.
" Chen Mo, as someone who's been there, knows this all too well.
He initially thought police academy would be a very closed and serious environment, but he never expected that such a serious academy would have an anime club, and even allow them to perform various cosplay outfits at some events, which was truly surprising.
