Jing Ran replied, “Taking a photo with my girlfriend.”

Upon hearing this, Professor Gao, who taught calculus, furrowed his brows, looking somewhat unconvinced.

Jing Ran is a student who is really good at studying, but he is a bit lacking in interpersonal relationships. He has never had any friends. Especially this major is hotel management, and he will work in big hotels in the future. No matter which position in the hotel, he need to cultivate good interpersonal communication. Many professors in the management department were concerned about Jing Ran because he seemed more like a scientist who spent all his time in the laboratory conducting research rather than a hotel manager.

Professor Gao had no knowledge of Jing Ran’s family background. Judging from his clothing, he always wore sportswear. Although the fabric was good, the colors was unattractive. It can be guessed that he bought it at a special price. This led him to subjectively believe that Jing Ran’s family situation was not very good.

Furthermore, looking at Jing Li’s attire, she was stunning from head to toe, clearly coming from an affluent family. Jing Li’s academic performance was abysmal, especially in calculus, which was far below the standard for students at J University. At first, he thought she had gotten into J University through connections, but little did he know that she had been admitted as an international student with foreign nationality.

“Your girlfriend? Jing Li?” Professor Gao confirmed.

University students were adults, no longer high school students, yet they still seemed secretive about their relationships.

Jing Ran nodded in affirmation, saying, “Yes.”

The professor had somewhat old-fashioned thinking, believing that when looking for a girlfriend, talent should be the primary consideration, and appearance should be secondary. He didn’t think highly of girls like Jing Li, who only had looks but nothing more. However, nowadays, young people pursue attractive partners, so such a phenomenon is not surprising, and he has no right to criticize it. It came as a surprise that Jing Ran, who usually remained silent, managed to find such a beautiful girlfriend.

“Your girlfriend’s grades aren’t that good. You should teach her more, otherwise it will become a problem for her graduation.” The professor’s advice was straightforward and didn’t have anything else to add.

“How bad are your grades?” Jing Ran didn’t hesitate and immediately lowered his head to ask Jing Li.

Jing Li: …

Top student, what are you up to?

**
Jing Li returned to the classroom and sent the photo of her and Jing Ran through WeChat to Lin Suirong. However, he didn’t reply until the end of the morning classes, probably because he was busy with a competition. She didn’t pay much attention to it. She assumed she had already informed Lin Suirong that she would be dating Jing Ran starting from today. After all, three months later, she would break up with Jing Ran, and Lin Suirong wouldn’t bother her anymore.

Unexpectedly, after school at noon, Jing Ran was standing at the entrance of Class 2, waiting for Jing Li to come out.

They were boyfriend and girlfriend, and they were also in neighboring classes. There was no reason for him not to wait for her, right?

However, they didn’t make any prior arrangements in the morning while jogging. It just so happened that both of them were into morning exercises, so they agreed to meet at the cafeteria for breakfast after their exercise.

They walked side by side on the way to the cafeteria.

Jing Ran recalled how Jing Li held his hand and walked back to the classroom in the morning, so he reached out and held Jing Li’s hand.

Jing Li instinctively withdrew her hand, looking at Jing Ran with a puzzled expression.

Jing Ran also looked at her with confusion. Why did she seem unwilling? Don’t couples hold hands while walking together? Didn’t she take the initiative to hold hands in the morning?

After school, there were many pedestrians on the road, including some couples. Some were holding hands, some had the guy’s arm around the girl’s shoulder, and some were playfully chasing each other.

And they looked a bit… awkward.

“I’m sorry.” Jing Ran didn’t know if he had done something wrong, but he could tell that Jing Li was reluctant, so he apologized.

Jing Li looked at Jing Ran, feeling a bit down, like a dejected giant dog. She softened in the end and felt a bit guilty. She held Jing Ran’s hand and explained, “I… haven’t been in a relationship with anyone before… I’m not used to it yet…”
“Me neither.” Jing Ran nodded in response, and added, “What a coincidence, we’re both each other’s first love.”

Jing Li’s expression froze—
First love…

Ah, this was her first love!
It was unexpectedly decided so casually and hastily as the object of first love.
It turned out that her first love was not someone like Jiang Zhishu ^[1]江直樹 : Jiang Zhishu, He is a character from Taiwanese TV drama “It Started With A Kiss” adapted from Japanese drama “Itazura Na Kiss” , It said he is every girl dream lover., the top student, but Lin Dalang ^[2]林達浪 : Lin Dalang, He is a character from Taiwanese TV drama “Hi My Sweetheart” , he has a mushroom-like hairstyle just like Jing Ran. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠). with his mushroom-like hair!

Jing Li suddenly felt terrible.

“Boss!”

Jing Ran’s three roommates from computer department came to the canteen after school, unexpectedly running into Jing Ran. Even more surprisingly, the two of them were standing on the road, holding hands and chatting.

Cao Jianhua couldn’t believe it and said, “Holy cow, Jing Ran, Jing Li is really your girlfriend? How did you manage to pursue her?”

Jing Ran honestly replied, “I didn’t pursue her.”
He didn’t pursue her…

Did she just fall from the sky?

Damn, is it the school beauty chasing after Jing Ran?

The three roommates looked at Jing Li standing next to Jing Ran, and the shy little girl looked like she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

In such an awkward atmosphere, the three roommates didn’t want to disturb them and awkwardly smiled, “Jing Ran, we’ll go eat first and not disturb you… lovebirds.” Then, they hurriedly left.

“Jing Ran!” Jing Li was so angry that she didn’t know what to say to him. Although she wasn’t the one who actively pursued him, with him honestly telling others like this, where could she hide her face?

She was such a beautiful girl, rejecting so many high-quality suitors, and yet she chose to pursue a guy who dressed so plainly. Others probably thought she had a screw loose in her head, right?

After spending last night and this morning together, Jing Li probably figured out what kind of person he was. This guy was high in intelligence but low in emotional intelligence. No wonder he never seemed to have any girls talking to him. It definitely wasn’t because of his appearance, it was because he would say something to make girls angry as soon as he opened his mouth.

Jing Ran noticed that Jing Li was angry, but why did she suddenly get angry?
I heard that women have a few days of irritability every month.

Jing Ran asked cautiously, “Lili, have you started your period?”
