Chapter 222 More Than a Boyfriend

Qin Zhao: "He came to listen in."

The teacher smiled knowingly: "You've sat in on two classes now, so answer some questions."

Qin Zhao looked at the sleepy-eyed Shen Yanci and said in a low voice, "The teacher wants you to answer a question."

He stood up slowly, his hair a little disheveled.

Someone chimed in with an "Oh!" and exclaimed, "So handsome!"

Then everyone in the classroom started laughing.

"He's quite handsome, really quite handsome." The teacher smiled. "I was wondering where my student in the front row went; you had lured him away."

Shen Yanci lowered his eyes to look at Qin Zhao, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

"Stop looking at your girlfriend." The teacher looked at them with a maternal smile and teased, "If you can't answer, your girlfriend will lose a grade."

"..."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The teacher asked a simple question: "What is the bystander effect? ​​What factors can reduce it?"

Qin Zhao lowered his head and whispered a reminder: "Difference of responsibility."

Shen Yanci stared at her for a few seconds and repeated, "Diffusion of responsibility."

Qin Zhao: "Social neglect".

She went to look through her notes, wanting Shen Yanci to read them aloud.

The teacher smiled and said, "Then I'll deduct points."

Shen Yanci paused for two seconds, his voice still a little hoarse from just waking up: "Bystander effect, when other people are present, the likelihood of an individual helping a victim actually decreases, mainly due to diffusion of responsibility and social influence."

Qin Zhao: "..."

She said, "In Chinese."

Shen Yanci looked at her with her eyes lowered. "Be direct" was on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't remember how to say it in Chinese. She was silent for another two seconds before saying, "Be direct, break ambiguity, and 'Educate' can reduce this effect."

"..."

The classroom was quiet for a few seconds.

The teacher joked, "You've slept in the US time zone."

Someone in the classroom chuckled twice.

"That was a good answer. What's your major?"

Shen Yanci: "PPE".

"You must read a lot of your girlfriend's books, huh?" The teacher smiled and told him to sit down. "It wasn't a waste of time auditing the class, but it won't earn you any extra points."

"..."

After he sat down, the teacher continued asking questions.

Qin Zhao looked at him, and he looked at her too. There were still red marks on her right cheek, and her eyes were dark and slightly moist.

She lowered her eyelids and flipped through her notes listlessly.

The teacher ended get out of class two minutes early.

Passersby couldn't help but glance at Shen Yanci.

Qin Zhao quickly packed the things into her backpack, jumped out from behind her, and winked at her: "Your boyfriend is pretty good."

"..."

Qin Zhao: "He is not my boyfriend."

He greeted Shuang briefly without disturbing them, and left with the others before Qin Zhao finished speaking.

Qin Zhao glanced at him: "I'll explain to them later."

"It's time to explain." Shen Yanci's lips were straight as he glanced at her. "I have an extra 'ex' now compared to my boyfriend."

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids.

Shen Yanci glanced at her twice, then picked up her schoolbag: "What do you want to eat?"

"..."

"Is grilled fish okay?"

"Whatever you say is what it is."

The marks on his face hadn't completely faded, and a strand of his hair was sticking up.

Qin Zhao: "Your hair is messy."

He casually tidied it up a couple of times.

He paused, closed his eyelids, and with a flick of his finger, the hairstyle turned back into an upturned style.

Qin Zhao pointed to his head: "Here."

Shen Yanci tidied his hair a couple more times. Qin Zhao hesitated, his hand half-raised, but finally couldn't stand it anymore. When he raised his hand, he bent down slightly. Qin Zhao used his fingers to straighten his hair, only to realize that the two of them were tidying each other's hair quite close, their breaths almost mingling.

She looked away and rubbed her fingers together: "All done."

Shen Yanci straightened up and said thank you.

As Qin Zhao was about to leave the teaching building, she went to the restroom, where Shen Yanci was waiting for her at the main entrance.

When she came out, he was being asked for WeChat by two girls.

It was lunchtime, and the road from the teaching building to the cafeteria was packed with people.

Good friends walking hand in hand, in groups, young couples holding hands, and walking alone.

The two of them blended in.

Ahead, a couple was walking slowly, their fingers intertwined. The pressure on them slowed them down as well.

Qin Zhao walked for a while and then stepped off the sidewalk: "Go this way, there's a queue for grilled fish."

"..."

Shen Yanci carried her schoolbag on his shoulder, stepped onto the asphalt road, walked past the couple, and followed her with long strides.

He truly felt a sense of mission to do anything for food.

There's a queue at the grilled fish window.

Qin Zhao waited in line and told him to find a seat.

Dining on campus is semi-self-service; there are no waiters to help serve the food.

After finding a seat, Shen Yanci switched seats with her: "I'll wait in line, you go buy drinks."

Qin Zhao was puzzled, but didn't think much of it: "What would you like to drink?"

"same as you."

"..."

"Then I'll just buy whatever I want."

"Ah."

Qin Zhao thought for a moment and went to the stall outside to buy her favorite milk tea. There was a queue for milk tea, so she took a number and waited for her milk tea.

Suddenly, I remembered that Shen Yanci couldn't pay.

In China, electronic payments are now the norm. If you have cash, will restaurants give you change?
She frowned, remembering the family card Qin Qiong had helped her open, and then opened one in the settings and sent it to Shen Yanci.

"Try it and see if it works. If it doesn't, tell the boss, and I'll pay when I get back."

Shen Yanci's phone lit up—

Zhao Zhao: I'm sending you a family card with a limit of 9999.00. Claim it now.

She received a notification of the deduction shortly afterward.

Shen Yanci: "Okay."

She replied with "OK".

The restaurant was noisy. She stood next to the grilled fish stall, somewhat forgetting where she was supposed to sit.

Shen Yanci stood up and waved to her: "Qin Zhao."

His height of 187 cm is indeed very noticeable.

She walked over and handed him the milk tea: "Grapefruit green tea, try it and see if you like it."

She stuck the straw in, took two sips, and it was a little cold.

When she looked up, she saw Shen Yanci looking at her. It only lasted a second before she closed her eyes and started drinking her milk tea: "It's delicious."

Eating grilled fish takes a bit of time, and since they arrived late, the restaurant was less crowded.

She was suddenly tapped on the shoulder: "Zhao Zhao."

Shen Yanci raised his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly as his gaze fell on the hand that had suddenly appeared.

Qin Zhao saw Lin Jiashu and said, "Senior."

Lin Jiashu looked at Shen Yanci: "What is this?"

Qin Zhao didn't think there was any need for them to get to know each other, but seeing that Shen Yanci was watching, he still introduced them: "He is the minister of my student council."

Lin Jiashu was waiting for her to introduce Shen Yanci, but Qin Zhao lowered her eyelids and said, "He's my brother's friend."

"So you're just my brother's friend." Lin Jiashu smiled and extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Zhaozhao's minister, Lin Jiashu."

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly: "Sorry, I don't have the habit of touching others without washing my hands after eating, and I don't like people who casually put their arms around girls' shoulders."

……

First of all, you are unhygienic.

Secondly, you're in my way.
