Zhou Yuwen was still wearing the school-issued gray T-shirt with the camouflage pants, looking quite tall and sturdy.
And Zheng Yanyan, youthful and pretty, was in a white shirt paired with dark blue denim shorts. The two standing together were like a talented and beautiful college couple; the director needed no guesswork to ascertain their relationship.
"How did you know the fence behind the cafeteria was broken?" Having finished a ga of Fight the Landlord, the director asked leisurely and curiously.
"I like to wander around when I have nothing to do at night, and I discovered it when I walked to that area."
"Oh." The director nodded, looking at Zheng Yanyan, who was bowing her head in boredom.
"Girlfriend?"
"Um,"
"Boyfriend?"
"Yes."
Zheng Yanyan nodded her head.
"You two are quite a match."
"Hehe, thank you, Director!" Zheng Yanyan felt that director was quite approachable upon hearing this.
Zhou Yuwen patted Zheng Yanyan, signaling her to stop ssing around.
But Zheng Yanyan shrugged it off and made a face at Zhou Yuwen.
The director saw this and slightly pursed his lips; hailing from the south, he spoke with a distinctive inflection, comnting that the young man was quite romantic.
"Even took her to KFC, huh! Is KFC tasty?"
"It is delicious, Director, haven’t you ever eaten there before?" Zheng Yanyan asked.
"What are you thinking, how could the director possibly have never eaten at KFC." Zhou Yuwen quipped.
Zheng Yanyan imdiately said, "But what if the director’s wife is strict, and he can’t have it?"
"..."
Zhou Yuwen gave Zheng Yanyan a look, letting her figure it out for herself.
Zheng Yanyan, however, stuck her tongue out at Zhou Yuwen.
The director, finding it uninteresting, exclaid, "Alright, alright, save the lovey-dovey stuff for when you get back ho."
"So we can go back now?" Zheng Yanyan’s face lit up with surprise.
"Oh my, little girl, I find not only is your appearance beautiful, but your thinking is quite pretty too!"
"Hehe, thank you for the complint, Director!"
The director picked up his thermos, slowly and thodically took a sip, and said, during military training, indeed there was a rule against hoarding snacks.
Zheng Yanyan’s face fell upon hearing this.
But the director continued, "However, seeing as it’s your first offense, I won’t penalize you this ti."
"Thank you, Director! You’re such a good person, no wonder, the mont I saw you, I felt a closeness!" Zheng Yanyan was overjoyed inside; she had been quite scared just before.
The director, however, waved it off, saying punishnt wasn’t necessary, but there had to be consequences for mistakes.
"Both of you, write a self-criticism of two thousand words each," the director said.
"Ah? Do we have to, Director, I struggle to write an eight-hundred-word essay!" Zheng Yanyan whined pitifully.
"Why don’t you have your boyfriend help you write it then?" the director suggested.
Zheng Yanyan’s eyes glead as she turned to Zhou Yuwen.
"What are you dreaming about, all four thousand words are yours. Would I have co here if it weren’t for you?" Zhou Yuwen had already anticipated this outco.
"No way, as a boyfriend, what’s wrong with helping your girlfriend with so howork?"
"Get lost."
"Oh co on, please, boyfriend~"
From that incident, Zheng Yanyan and Zhou Yuwen indeed grew closer. With the danger now behind them, their mood naturally brightened. Zheng Yanyan forgot all about the concept of n and won and directly grabbed Zhou Yuwen’s arm to coquettishly plead with him.
"Dream on, you’re writing all four thousand words,"
"No, no, boyfriend." Zheng Yanyan continued with her entreaties.
The director could no longer bear to watch and spoke out, "Oh, co on, if you two want to flaunt your love, go outside. Why must you do it in front of ?"
If you keep this up, I really will give you a penalty.
"Off you go, quickly!"
The director made a shooing gesture, chasing the two away, and after they had left, he took care to remind them not to talk recklessly. If later on an instructor asked about their punishnt, they should say they were given a major penalty.
Zheng Yanyan was still a bit worried and said, "Hey, Director, he said earlier that we would fail."
"They have no say in that matter."
The director said arrogantly.
"Heehee, you’re so nice, Director!"
By the ti Zheng Yanyan was standing outside the girls’ dormitory as punishnt, the sky had already darkened.
When Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan ca out of the office building, the sky was completely black.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon in the sky was big and round.
Honestly, the instructor’s fierce and ferocious deanor had scared Zheng Yanyan a bit; she was indeed stubborn, but after all, she was just a little girl, and just now the instructor had looked like he wanted to devour soone while he grilled her.
Zheng Yanyan might have appeared stubborn on the outside, but inside she was actually a bit scared.
At that crucial mont, it was Zhou Yuwen who stepped forward and said, "The hamburger was from !"
At that mont, Zheng Yanyan was truly grateful to Zhou Yuwen.
On the way here, Zheng Yanyan was still worried that she might have caused trouble for Zhou Yuwen.
But now, suddenly, there was a sense of light-hearted relief, as if she had survived a great disaster.
Zheng Yanyan let out a long breath: "Phew~ Zhou Yuwen, that really scared just now. I thought they were going to expel ."
That made Zhou Yuwen laugh. How could they expel you? It was just a small matter.
"Hee, weren’t you scared?"
"What’s there to be afraid of?"
Zhou Yuwen had been expressionless the whole ti, just walking ahead, really without a ripple in his heart.
This deanor annoyed Zheng Yanyan a bit. Hey, I’m so touched, and you show no feeling at all.
"Hey, when you spoke up just now, what were you thinking?"
"What do you an, what was I thinking?"
"Didn’t you consider that if you took the bla for , you might be the one getting punished?"
"They wouldn’t punish for such a small matter."
"But what if they did?"
"Then I’d just take the punishnt."
"So then you would have taken the bla for ?"
"If I have to, then I will."
The two of them walked on the school path, flanked by the tall and dense tasequoia forest, shadowy under the moonlight.
The moon made the concrete path appear sowhat pale.
Their shadows stretched long on the concrete road as they chatted, intermittently.
It was mostly Zheng Yanyan asking the questions.
And Zhou Yuwen answering them.
Zheng Yanyan said, "Zhou Yuwen, do you know, you’re really asking for a beating."
"Oh? Do you want to hit ?"
Zhou Yuwen stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Zheng Yanyan.
Originally, Zheng Yanyan was just following Zhou Yuwen.
His sudden turn startled Zheng Yanyan.
At that mont, standing close, Zhou Yuwen’s face, sharp and clear under the moonlight, was especially vivid.
"No,"
Zheng Yanyan replied, and Zhou Yuwen rolled his eyes at her.
But the corners of Zheng Yanyan’s mouth curled up into a mischievous smile.
The moonlight tonight was exceptionally bright, casting clear shadows of the boy and girl.
On the ground, the boy’s shadow had sharp contours and was half a head taller than the girl’s.
The girl’s shadow showed her long hair, her figure, and her straight, slim legs, even the outline of her denim shorts was discernible.
"Zhou Yuwen,"
"What is it?"
"Do you want to be my boyfriend?"
"?"
On the ground, the girl tiptoed, and before the boy could react, she turned her head to the side.
"Mwah."
