"Mmm."
The room door opened, and two figures stumbled in.
Both of them had a drunken look in their eyes, and as soon as they entered, they started kissing in the foyer.
Panting sounds rose and fell, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the room.
"Ah."
Xin Zhiyao let out a startled cry and was easily lifted by the man.
Her petite body was nestled in his arms, and the difference in their size was suggestive.
The figure walked directly towards the bed, Xin Zhiyao was thrown onto the bed, and the tall body pressed down on her.
The man's eyes were bloodshot, and his usually restrained eyes now had flames dancing within them.
His rationality crumbled.
Xin Zhiyao's hands gripped the bedsheets tightly, her knuckles turning white, a flash of white light in her eyes.
The light flickered, and soft moans echoed throughout the room.
"Yaoyao."
"Yaoyao."
Xin Zhiyao suddenly woke up from her dream, a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
She had dreamed it again; it had been a month, and she dreamed of it almost every night.
It was Yu Que's birthday on the summer vacation holiday, and she happily attended, only to find that he had invited not just her, but also other classmates from the same major, including Jiang Xin, who was famous for her beauty. They sat close together, behaving intimately.
Many people looked at her, seemingly watching her reaction.
She and Yu Que were in the same major but different classes. Everyone knew she had liked Yu Que for two years, and even Yu Que himself knew it, but he had never rejected her.
Judging by the looks of these classmates, everyone knew about Jiang Xin's existence except her, who was foolishly kept in the dark.
He was stringing her along while being ambiguously entangled with Jiang Xin.
The onlookers' gazes stung her heart. She secretly swore to herself that she would end this ridiculous one-sided love.
She had drunk quite a bit that night, and she was also holding back a surge of anger.
When she went to the restroom, she stumbled into someone and met the man's deep eyes.
He was even more handsome and manlier than Yu Que.
With a courage she didn't know she had, she grabbed his collar and asked, her breath warm: "Do you want to sleep with me?"
What followed was an uncontrollable situation; the two of them went into the room and spent an indescribable night of "he he he."
Fueled by alcohol, Xin Zhiyao was terrified when she woke up the next day to find herself naked in bed with a man. She quickly got dressed and scrambled out of the room.
She knew she had done something wrong and dared not tell anyone, nor did she dare to find out who the man was.
But because she kept thinking about it, even after a month, she still dreamed of it almost every night.
The naked, entangled bodies, the heavy breathing sounds, and the man's deep eyes...
"Yaoyao, hurry up and get up. What are you spacing out for? You want to be late on the first day of school?"
Song Yujia's voice brought Xin Zhiyao back to reality. She quickly pushed the messy images from her mind and scrambled out of bed in a hurry.
After washing up, Xin Zhiyao, carrying her books, hurried to the classroom with Song Yujia.
"Why are you running so fast?" Xin Zhiyao could barely keep up with her pace.
"You forgot we have Anatomy class today?" Song Yujia said, "You've been so distraught lately, you can't remember anything."
Xin Zhiyao then remembered.
She heard that the school had hired a super amazing Anatomy professor with a hefty sum, who had graduated from Johns Hopkins University. He was immediately hired as a professor, breaking all precedents, and was the youngest professor in the history of the Medical School.
Because the professor had an issue and couldn't arrive on time, the school had postponed the students' Anatomy classes by more than a month. Now, after the National Day holiday, the first class was with that professor.
"Yaoyao, you know, some students already met that professor this morning."
Song Yujia's tone was tinged with excitement.
"I heard that professor is incredibly handsome, so much so that the school groups are going crazy. Many students regret not choosing his class," Song Yujia said, pulling Xin Zhiyao's hand: "Let's go faster, or we won't be able to get into the classroom later."
How could it be that exaggerated? They were already third-year students, and it was the first class. Many lazy students would ask their dormmates to sign in for them, and often the attendance book would be filled with names in an otherwise empty classroom.
Until Xin Zhiyao reached the classroom doorway and saw the swarming crowd, she was dumbfounded.
It was no different from a supermarket giving away eggs and the elderly going crazy to grab them.
Song Yujia seemed to have expected such a scene.
"Even with a famous university background, a handsome guy is no different from a fan meeting."
She pulled Xin Zhiyao and squeezed inside: "Excuse me, excuse me, can those auditing not take up the seats of us regular students?"
After finally squeezing in and finding two seats, as soon as they sat down, Song Yujia looked disgusted as if she had seen something.
"Bad luck."
Following her gaze, Xin Zhiyao saw Yu Que and Jiang Xin sitting in the front row.
For some important courses, students from several classes would attend together in a large lecture hall. She hadn't expected to encounter them this time.
They were behaving intimately, and Yu Que whispered something in Jiang Xin's ear, which amused Jiang Xin, who covered her mouth and laughed.
Seeing Xin Zhiyao staring at them, Song Yujia sighed: "It's understandable that you've been so distraught lately. It's hard for anyone to feel good when the person they've liked for two years is in love with someone else."
Xin Zhiyao looked at her in surprise: "They're dating?"
"Yeah, they got together on Yu Que's birthday. Why do you look like you just found out?"
Xin Zhiyao said silently: "I actually just found out."
"Then who have you been distraught over recently?"
It had been almost a month since school started, and Song Yujia knew Xin Zhiyao's state.
"..."
Xin Zhiyao didn't dare to say that she had slept with someone after drinking.
Seeing her silence, Song Yujia thought she was being stubborn and patted her shoulder considerately: "It's okay, if you say you just found out, then you just found out."
"..."
She had, in fact, just found out.
"Besides being a bit handsome and having good grades, I don't know what else is so great about Yu Que that you're into him. He's a scumbag. There are many guys who are more handsome and excellent than him, like this new professor, who could crush him in minutes. Yaoyao, why don't you find someone else to like?"
Xin Zhiyao looked at her blankly: "Like who?"
Song Yujia teased: "The new professor."
She could really say anything.
Xin Zhiyao playfully hit her forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the classroom, and a voice came.
"The professor is here, the professor is here."
The crowded classroom buzzed with excitement, everyone craning their necks like giraffes to see.
Xin Zhiyao was no exception.
She purely wanted to see what this so-called incredibly handsome appearance looked like.
Could he possibly have a third eye like Erlang Shen?
A tall figure appeared at the classroom door, approaching from a distance.
He was slender, with a clear and handsome face, smooth facial lines, a straight nose bridge, and well-defined lips. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, and his gentle and refined temperament made one feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Song Yujia heard Xin Zhiyao beside her gasp.
"Yaoyao, I didn't lie to you, he's really handsome."
Xin Zhiyao beside her had already slumped limply onto the desk.
