Words Are Like One's Person
Fortunately, a game was just a game. He Jin tried his best to treat the Mythical World as a place to indulge himself, oh no, a place to let go of himself. He comforted himself that no matter how shameless he was, it was just a virtual world. There was no need to be so tense. No one would know anyway … As for Hou Dongyan, perhaps the two of them would meet in the game in the future. However, based on Monkey's personality, He Jin felt that even if he was playing as a transvestite, he wouldn't make a fuss. The key was himself. No matter what, he had to be calm, calm, calm …
After consoling himself, He Jin went to sleep peacefully.
It was a dreamless night. The next day was Saturday, and He Jin didn't have any activities scheduled. After leaving the Student Union, he suddenly had a lot more free time. Even though he had a lot of homework in his third year, it was easy for a self-disciplined person like him to manage. In the morning, he went to self-study for a while, then went to the Union of Students' Part-time Center to learn about part-time jobs.
It wasn't easy to find a part-time job for an HR major. Those who wanted to find a tutor would usually look at physics and chemistry. The scope of internships was also very small, especially since it wasn't the winter and summer holidays. Even if there were companies looking for short-term HR personnel, they wouldn't consider students from famous schools because their qualifications exceeded the requirements.
He Jin flipped through the recruitment materials for a long time. He saw an HR manager of a famous investment company looking for an assistant, but he had prioritized students majoring in business management. He Jin's major didn't quite match, but seeing the other party's job requirements, he could basically satisfy them. He submitted his resume with the attitude of giving it a try.
That night, he received a call from his mother. She asked about his studies and his relationship with his classmates. He Jin was annoyed and didn't mention anything about the lake trip and the game. After two and a half years, he had learned to pretend to be courteous with his family. However, his mother was really neurotic and suspicious. She would get to the bottom of anything she didn't like.
"You don't have a girlfriend, right? Is there anyone in school who has feelings for you? Let me tell you, it's best not to look for one while you're still studying. When you graduate, you'll go your separate ways. No one knows … "
"Mom, I don't …"
"Also, most of the girls in your school are arrogant and don't know how to take care of their families. You have to be rational. When you come back, there will be plenty of good girls …"
"…"
Knowing that it would be useless to refute, He Jin simply kept his mouth shut and listened to the woman talk to herself.
He knew that she always used the excuse of "doing everything for his own good". He also knew that the woman was indeed thinking about him. He could understand her mentality, but he did not agree with it.
After hanging up the video call for half an hour, He Jin slumped on the bed, depressed. It was as if all the energy in his body had been sucked out.
At that moment, Qin Yang sent him a text asking what time to meet tomorrow. He Jin finally recovered a little when he thought of this warm-hearted and straightforward handsome junior.
"What time do you get up? Do you want to book a discussion room in the library? "He Jin asked.
Qin Yang: "It's about eight. How about we meet at nine? Come to my dorm, 417b. "
Every two dormitories shared a discussion room. Indeed, it was fine to do it in the dormitory. Furthermore, it was convenient to go up and down. He Jin agreed and went up on time the next day with the information and notes. He found room number 417 and was about to knock on the door when Qin Yang opened the door from inside.
"You came." Qin Yang only wore a thin long-sleeved V-neck cotton shirt and loose flannelette pants. He looked extremely casual.
He Jin followed him in. He thought that they would talk in the lounge, but Qin Yang unexpectedly brought him to his room.
"There's no one in your room?" He Jin was puzzled. Huaxia University dormitories usually had two people in a room. Compared to the bedroom, it should be less likely to be disturbed outside.
Qin Yang pushed the door open and said, "I live alone."
The heater in the room was turned on. He Jin was surprised. "Why do you live alone?" There was indeed no bedding on the other bed. There were only a few white storage boxes.
"My roommate went abroad not long after enrolling. I heard that he paid the dormitory fees for the first year. This is the second year, and the dormitory hasn't arranged for any new students here. I think they forgot," Qin Yang explained.
He Jin: "The treatment is pretty good. A single room!"
"Hehe, it's quite boring to be alone sometimes." Qin Yang's desk had a computer and a few professional books on it. He pulled out the chair that no one was using and said, "Let's sit here and talk."
He Jin nodded and sat down. "That's true …" No matter what, two roommates could still chat and joke around. It was indeed boring to be alone.
"Sit for a while. I'll make you a cup of coffee," Qin Yang said as he pushed the door open.
He Jin looked around and saw a pair of tennis rackets leaning against the corner of the wall. Qin Yang's blanket wasn't folded either. It looked like it had been flipped open after waking up, but it didn't look messy. Instead, it looked a little lazy and casual.
He looked at the back of the other chair. There was a coat hanging on the back of the chair. It was the one that Qin Yang had taken off and draped over his shoulders. He Jin's face heated up when he recalled that scene. He quickly turned around and opened the files, thinking about where to start.
Qin Yang came back after making coffee. He walked behind He Jin and silently placed a cup of water on the desk with one hand on the back of the chair with the other.
This position was nothing, but when Qin Yang bent over, his abdomen rubbed against the back of He Jin's head. A pure masculine scent enveloped He Jin from top to bottom …
"You're wearing so much. Aren't you hot?" This sentence came from above.
He Jin inexplicably thought of Shang Huo calling him "Jin 'er" in the game. An electric current flowed through his hair and straight into his brain!
"No …" He Jin was a little glad that he had a good physique. No matter how turbulent his heart was, it could not be seen on the surface.
Qin Yang quickly retreated and pulled his chair over to sit beside him. He even took a pen and paper to take notes.
He Jin took a deep breath. After calming down, he flipped open the grammar framework he had written in the past and asked, "Have you memorized all the words within the range of LV6?"
Qin Yang: "More or less."
"Then there's no problem." He Jin pointed at the framework and said, "LV6 grammar mainly involves these. After we're done, I'll find some questions for you to do. If you have any questions, ask me … We'll talk about parts of speech. Today, we'll talk about verbs, words, and articles. You don't have to take notes. I'll lend you this later."
Qin Yang smiled and said, "You're so generous. I remember that you made copies of your notes and sold them for money."
"It's useless for me to keep them. Just return them to me after the exam," He Jin said as he began to categorize them.
At first, Qin Yang patiently listened to what He Jin said, but after a while, he got distracted. He looked at He Jin's hand up close. He held the pen. His slender wrist was long, and his joints were distinct. His nails were well-manicured and had a hint of red. Then, he looked at He Jin's arms and shoulders. When he spoke, his Adam's apple rose and fell slightly. His side profile, his eyebrows … He was indeed more slender than the average boy. He didn't have the roughness and greasiness of adolescent boys. He was very clean and refreshing.
He Jin patiently explained in detail. When he turned the page, he looked up and suddenly met Qin Yang's sizing gaze.
"You …" He Jin instantly became nervous. "Why are you looking at me?"
Qin Yang said calmly, "Your face is a little dirty."
He Jin reached out and touched his face. "Where?"
Qin Yang pushed his stool back and leaned back to take a tissue from his desk. He handed it to He Jin. "There seems to be some dust on your cheekbones. It's quite light. Wipe it." His tone and expression made it sound as if he was telling the truth.
He Jin really believed him. He wiped it seriously and asked, "Anything else?"
"No." Qin Yang glanced at him again. He lowered his head expressionlessly and asked, "Your handwriting is really nice. Have you practiced it?" There were English and Chinese annotations in the notebook.
He Jin: "I practiced for a while when I was young."
Qin Yang: "Calligraphy with a hard brush?"
"It's calligraphy with a brush. I practiced clerical script and Wei tablet with a teacher for a long time. Then, it was regular script. Later, I wrote with a hard brush and imitated other people's beautiful handwriting to practice. I haven't formally taken classes before. Now that I have the foundation, I can slowly write my own style." He Jin pinched the tissue. His attention was completely diverted.
Qin Yang: "Nowadays, everyone is used to using computers. There aren't many people who can write well. They say that 'writing is like the person.' I see that your handwriting is very natural and unrestrained. It's full of strength. It doesn't feel like you."
He Jin raised his eyebrows. "What about me?"
"It's very gentle. It feels like you compromise easily." Qin Yang looked at his expression and said slowly, "But I think your personality should be more like your handwriting and not like your appearance."
He Jin was stunned. He suddenly felt like he had been seen through …
Qin Yang: "Am I right?"
He Jin smiled faintly. "Half and half."
Although He Jin said that, he was deeply touched. It seemed like no one had ever analyzed his "personality" so sharply. Not even Tong Xuan had. He had kept his relationship with Tong Xuan a secret from his family for a short year. At that time, he didn't dare to be too open and was always restrained.
When they broke up, Tong Xuan cried very sadly and said that he didn't understand her at all. However, He Jin also felt very wronged. How could she understand him?
However, in He Jin's opinion, boys should be more modest to girls. So even though she was one-sidedly accusing him, He Jin still felt that he owed her. At the very least, making a girl cry wasn't something a boy should do.
Now that he heard Qin Yang's words, He Jin suddenly thought that if Tong Xuan could see through his appearance and see his true nature, would their paths be different? Then, he shook his head in his heart. Let bygones be bygones. He and Tong Xuan weren't suited to be together. There was no point in making assumptions.
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Yang asked casually.
He Jin retracted his thoughts. Perhaps it was because of his speculation about Qin Yang's personality that made him feel a lot closer to Qin Yang. Unknowingly, he let go of his seniority and asked casually, "Qin Yang, have you ever had a girlfriend?"
"No." Qin Yang's answer was very straightforward. He reached out and picked up the coffee on the table. He took a sip and looked at the person who asked. "But I have someone I like."
