A passing traveler through the heavens

During Ye Jiping's photography class, he looked at everyone with a helpless expression, coughed lightly, and began to complain.

"School's been in session for ages, and only at the very beginning did you ask people to symbolically go outside the school to take some photos. Now, everyone's just finding some nook or cranny inside the school to snap pictures..."

Some of the students in the audience lowered their heads and remained silent, while others looked embarrassed.

Ye Jiping shook his head and continued, "Therefore, I hope that students can step out of the school gates."

"For this photography assignment, Lu Qiaochuan and Lin Luoxue will be in charge of organizing everyone to go off-campus for a good shoot."

The bell rang, and amidst everyone's complaints, Ye Jiping hurriedly left the classroom.

After discussing it, Lu Qiaochuan and Lin Luoxue chose an ancient town not far from the school as their location for the photography trip, as the scenery there was perfect for photography.

The next morning, just as the sun rose, Ji Lin got up early, washed up, and drove to the entrance of the girls' dormitory. Not long after, Lin Luoxue came out.

She was wearing a light blue dress, her long hair flowing in the wind. When Ji Lin saw Lin Luoxue appear, he immediately smiled and got out of the car to open the passenger door for her.

At the same time, Lin Luoxue's other three roommates also arrived one after another.

After exchanging greetings, the group got into the car and took their seats. Ji Lin skillfully drove towards the ancient town.

Upon arriving at his destination, Ji Lin parked the car steadily in the parking lot.

He got out of the car, stretched, and enjoyed the fresh air. Then, he led Lin Luoxue and the others to a shady spot to sit and rest, quietly waiting for the main group to arrive.

As time went by, the students in the class gradually arrived.

When most people had arrived, Lu Qiaochuan and Ren Yifan walked side by side, quickly approaching. Ren Yifan was carrying a case of mineral water in his arms, and he looked a little strained.

Walking into the middle of the crowd, Ren Yifan put the water on the ground and began distributing it to the students one by one.

As he handed out water, he smiled and said, "I've always loved photography, but unfortunately I ended up studying Spanish. As an unofficial member of the photography class, I'm honored to participate in this group activity of our class."

After Lu Qiaochuan explained a few precautions, the group entered the ancient town in small groups to explore.

Ji Lin and Lin Luoxue strolled along the streets of the ancient town. They wandered aimlessly and unknowingly came to the side of a winding river.

The river water was crystal clear and sparkling, and a small ferry boat carrying people was docked at the shore.

Lin Luoxue seemed to be drawn to the tranquil scene. She lightly stepped onto the small boat and then lazily leaned against the wooden railing beside it.

Her eyes were fixed intently on the fish playing and swimming in the river, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a subtle smile.

Upon seeing this, Ji Lin, who was standing to the side, quickly took out his camera from his backpack.

He adjusted the focus and aimed the lens at Lin Luoxue. Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, ruffling a few strands of Lin Luoxue's hair.

She subconsciously reached out to tidy her hair, a moment that Ji Lin keenly captured. With a soft "click," this beautiful moment was forever frozen in the camera.

Lin Luoxue turned around unconsciously upon hearing the sound of the camera shutter, only to hear Ji Lin chuckle triumphantly: "Haha, my homework is done!" As he spoke, Ji Lin proudly waved the camera in his hand.

Lin Luoxue rolled her eyes at Ji Lin helplessly, and then the two sat quietly in the small boat.

The small boat glided leisurely along the river, passing by ancient stone bridges. Ji Lin looked around and suddenly spotted several familiar figures on the streets of the ancient town not far away.

Gu Yixin, Bi Shisan, and Ren Yifan were sitting around a huge tree, each holding a bottle of beer. They looked somewhat melancholy and seemed to be talking about something sad.

They were sitting somewhat unsteadily, with several empty beer bottles scattered around them, indicating that they had clearly been there for some time.

Ji Lin looked at Bi Shisan's somewhat helpless expression, as if asking why he was sitting between two drunkards.

As the sun sets, a magnificent sunset glow spreads across the sky. The golden sunlight casts a warm and romantic halo over the entire ancient town.

Lin Luoxue sat at the bow of the boat, her hands resting on her knees, her head tilted back to face the sunlight, letting the soft light caress her face.

A gentle breeze rustled her skirt, creating a beautiful scene against the backdrop of the picturesque ancient town on both sides of the boat.

Seeing this, Ji Lin raised his camera again and quickly pressed the shutter.

In that instant, Lin Luoxue's beauty, like a dazzling pearl in the river of time, was eternally captured in Ji Lin's lens.

Afterwards, Ji Lin and Lin Luoxue sat together at the bow of the boat, enjoying the warmth of the setting sun…

As time quietly passed, Ji Lin accompanied Lin Luoxue and Lu Qiaochuan to wait outside the ancient town for their classmates to finish filming. It wasn't until Bi Shisan helped Gu Yixin and Ren Yifan, two drunkards, out of the ancient town that Ji Lin and his classmates officially completed their outdoor filming assignment.

The town tour was just a small episode in university life; the daily classes and assignments were the real routine.

Southern Media University has a rule that each class's psychological counselor needs to communicate with two students regularly each month.

According to their student ID numbers, Lin Luoxue and Ji Lin will be attending this month's psychological counseling class.

Ji Lin and Lin Luoxue arrived at the counseling room on time and entered one after the other.

Xiao Haiyang, who was the psychology committee member, also asked them the same question.

After Ji Lin and Lin Luoxue participated in psychological counseling, their answers to the questions formed two different images in Xiao Haiyang's mind.

The appearance of the image also caused Xiao Haiyang to deeply doubt his own values…

For example: 1. What is your view on relationships between people of the opposite sex?

"Boys are simple because what they want is also simple, but when they meet someone they really like, sometimes even simple things become complicated."

"Women are complicated. I don't understand women, but I understand Luo Xue. So when you meet someone you really like, sometimes complicated things become simple."

2. Do you believe in the existence of soulmates?

"I already have a soulmate, and if I meet my true love, I will love that person to death."

Xiao Haiyang asked two different people the same question and received different yet the same answers.

This also reminded him of someone important in his life, because he had once shared a sincere and passionate relationship with someone, and at one point, they had experienced unparalleled brilliance in each other's lives...

In a university environment, each class will organize some activities to varying degrees during a semester.

However, for experienced teachers who have been teaching for many years, these activities may not be so important; but newcomers like Ye Jiping, who have just entered the teaching profession, pay special attention to class activities.

Sure enough, in the following period of time, Lu Qiaochuan was entrusted by Ye Jiping to actively plan and organize several class activities.

The first event was a themed activity led by Yu Hao: "How to Improve Your Aesthetic Sense."

During this event, Ji Lin and Xiao Haiyang appeared on stage in contrasting personas for students to observe and compare.

As a representative of high aesthetic standards, Ji Lin showcased her perfect figure and exquisite and fashionable clothing to the fullest, winning rounds of applause and admiration from the audience.

In stark contrast, Xiao Haiyang was relentlessly criticized by Yu Hao, who utterly tore him apart from his somewhat casual attire and uncoordinated color scheme.

Following this were a series of events, including a book salon organized by Bi Shisan, an architectural photography sharing session by Zhong Bai, and a psychological counseling lecture hosted by Xiao Haiyang.

Unfortunately, these activities did not attract many students to participate; those who did attend were mostly members from the two male and female dormitories who acted as shills.

Occasionally, members of the walking club, including Ren Yifan and Bi Shisan, would come over to join in the fun, but overall, the number of people was very small.

More importantly, these activities seem to share a common characteristic—they appear somewhat foolish.

Both the format and content of the activities lacked originality and appeal, making it difficult to truly arouse the interest of the students.
