First Drowning

Intern Female Orthopedic Doctor VS Gentle, Refined Physics Professor

Mutual pining turns into love | Both are each other's first | A sweet little romance

[To me, she is a passionate and captivating presence. Like alpha particles traveling at the speed of light through a medium, meeting other particles and then uncontrollably bursting into a brilliant aurora.]

The best decision He Muchu had ever made

was to take her mother's advice,

get herself properly dressed and ready before meeting her blind date.

When the man appeared at the restaurant with a bouquet of flowers, accompanied by the mutual acquaintance who had set them up,

she looked up at him.

She caught sight of his refined features, now touched with the composure and confidence he'd gained over the past seven years.

Her heart began pounding wildly once again.

Her first blind date, a twist of fate.

Her date turned out to be the boy she'd secretly loved in high school.

As he offered her a polite, gentle, "Hello,"

she could almost see him standing at the flag-raising platform in his black-and-white school uniform.

He was giving a speech as the outstanding student representative.

And she stood in the crowd below, looking up at him,

listening to his clear, strong voice ring out over the loudspeaker.

"My name is Xu Yan."

After the two of them finally got together,

He Muchu went to visit him at school one day, and Xu Yan happened to be teaching a class.

She sat in the back row and drowsily listened to the lecture.

After class, she followed him out of the classroom, then belatedly remembered she'd left her water bottle behind.

Xu Yan volunteered to go get it.

And so a strange sight appeared at Lin City University.

Professor Xu from the physics department, usually so aloof and distant, was walking along

with a plain black bag in his left hand. The bag clearly had plenty of room inside,

but he had chosen to carry a tiny pink cup in his other hand.

Its lid was shaped like a cat's head.

Whenever students asked about it, he smiled and answered every time:

"It's your professor's wife's."

Later, the students at Lin City University noticed that at some point, Professor Xu, usually so cool and self-possessed, had acquired a silver ring on his long, strong ring finger. Whenever he turned to write on the board, it gleamed in the sunlight.

The students were astonished.

Was Professor Xu married?

After class, as he returned to the classroom, a fellow graduate student passed by and asked him for some printed experimental data. When he picked up the papers, he spotted a bright red marriage certificate underneath.

The senior student's mouth twitched as he looked over at the man watching his computer, relaxed in posture, the corners of his lips curved upward.

"Xu Yan, we all know you're married, but do you really need to carry your marriage certificate around every day?"

Xu Yan seemed to consider this, then sighed leisurely. He met the senior student's gaze with dark eyes and replied regretfully, "Sorry. I can't help it."

The senior student: "..."

He just wanted to show off, didn't he?

Adorkable, cool top student girl VS aloof, cocky competition-class bad boy

Two top students, no major angst, a sweet little romance~

As for Yu Shi,

Zhou Yu remembered her far more clearly than he remembered her name.

The first time he noticed Yu Shi,

he was slouched in a chair at the corner store, bored, his long, strong fingers deftly spinning a Rubik's Cube, the veins on the back of his hand faintly visible.

Then a soft, clear voice sounded above and in front of him.

"Excuse me, I'm ready to pay."

A shadow fell over him.

He looked up at the girl standing at the counter, dressed in cool summer clothes.

She wore a pale pink camisole with lace trim and short denim shorts that ended at the tops of her thighs, along with a pair of slippers.

The legs beneath her at the counter were fair and straight.

Her face, though, looked a little familiar.

He raised an eyebrow, placed the solved Rubik's Cube on the counter, and regarded her with interest. "You go to No. 1 High? What's your name?"

The girl didn't look surprised. She answered sweetly, "My name is Yu Shi. But..."

She sighed halfway through, sounding a little helpless. "That's the third time you've asked me my name."

The boy stared at her face for a moment, then chuckled and said, "All right."

He leaned back lazily against the wall and folded his arms.

His voice was casual as he said, "There won't be a next time."

-

One day after the college entrance exams, she stepped out of her house and instinctively looked over toward him.

He was standing outside the corner store, his tall frame leaning halfway against the doorframe, like a weary sheep.

A woman dressed to the nines was scolding him, while he looked completely indifferent.

It wasn't until the woman said something at the end that he seemed annoyed. He replied coldly, "Then what else do you want?"

Then he lifted his eyelids and looked past the woman in front of him. He saw Yu Shi standing not far behind his mother. He fell silent, turned around, and went inside without a word.

That evening, Yu Shi wore a pair of slippers and passed him a popsicle through the window.

"Come out. Let's eat popsicles."

He stared at it and scoffed. "What's so good about this stuff?"

Then the two of them sat side by side on a bench, listening to the cicadas in the summer night and the noise of passersby, quietly eating their popsicles.

After daydreaming for a while, Yu Shi let out a long sigh, lowered the half-melted wooden stick, and said leisurely,

"Humans are so boring."

She turned her head toward the boy beside her, who had finished his popsicle long ago.

The boy finished daydreaming too, turned to meet her eyes, and said,

"The whole planet is boring."

She smiled and nodded, resting her chin in her hand as she went on:

"Then we should move to another planet. Maybe it won't be so boring there."

The boy scoffed and said coldly, "Dream on."

"It's nighttime now."

"But the fact is, you've already started dreaming."

-

A few days later, Yu Shi opened the window that had just been tapped on.

The potted greenery by the window was still thriving, but now there was also a very crude handmade ornament that looked like a little planet.

A note was attached, covered in bold, flamboyant handwriting.

"Daydreamer, your planet is right here."

She reached out and nudged the little planet. It swayed gently.

Then she turned and went to get a pen.

A neat line of handwriting appeared on the note.

"So, Master Artist Zhou, is this the romantic planet for you and me?"

"We live on a romantic planet, forever passionate and sincere."
