She got up and ran to open the door quickly. Xu Huaishen turned on the flashlight of his phone and saw her pale little face. He locked his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Is it okay?"

Gan Nian's nose felt sore and threw herself into his arms, "Xu Huaishen, I was scared to death just now, but fortunately you are here..."

The sudden "subtle to the arms" made Xu Huaishen's mind sound like thunder, making him forget his thoughts.

His left chest thrust, his heart beat faster, and his blood boiled. This was the first time this novel feeling had happened so big, but it was even stronger than usual.

He looked down and saw the dancing shoes on her feet, so he said, "Go in first, change the shoes, huh?"

She nodded her head, as if she was thinking of something, and looked up at him again, with hope of speaking but stopping in her dark eyes.

As soon as he saw it, he understood what she meant: "I will be here."

She was afraid that he would leave and leave her alone, but he said that he would be here to accompany her.

A shallow smile appeared on her face again, and she turned around and he followed her into the lounge.

He illuminated her with a flashlight. She found the canvas shoes and sat on the chair to change. He squatted in front of her and helped her to look at her feet intimately.

"Thanks."

She smiled and started changing her shoes on her hands.

He looked at her face much better, and asked half-jokingly, "Are you afraid of power outage?"

Gan Nian paused the movements in her hand and admitted gently: "Well, I have been scared since I was a child. My mother said that once there was a power outage, I stayed at home alone for a long time. When she came back, I was already crying.

I got much better when I grew up, but I didn’t know why…”

When he heard her say "Tearful Man", he recalled the redness of her eyes when she opened the door just now. He probably was a little late and she was going to cry.

He lowered his eyes, his voice slightly dull: "I should have been waiting for you at the door just now."

If he had appeared earlier, she wouldn't have been so scared.

She changed and stood up to look at him: "So... you ran over to find me right away?"

He looked away without answering. Gan Nian looked at his unnatural expression and smiled: "Oh~ I understand, you are worried about me."

She gently pulled his sleeve, her eyes flowing, and she was pretty and charming, "Thank you, Xu Huaishen."

Every time I need help the most, you always come just right.”

He pursed the smile on the corner of his lips, nodded, and looked at the bag behind her: "Have you packed up?"

"Uh-huh."

He helped her carry the bag and left the lounge with her.

The electricity has not come yet, and it is still dark outside. Gan Nian takes the flashlight and follows Xu Huaishen closely.

The director of the teaching director came over and saw Xu Huaishen and Gan Nian beside him, wondering: "Huaishen, what were you running away in a hurry just now?"

“… Something has fallen in the lounge.”

The director of the teaching director believed this, "It's tripping, and it's under emergency repairs. You can go back to the dormitory quickly and have a rest early."

After he left, several staff members of the party also met two people by chance. Yang Li, who was walking among them, saw the close distance between them and silently said.

"Senior Xu, are you okay?

You said the power was out of stock, so we planned to have a late-night snack. Are we going together?

Senior Sister Gan Nian is here to go.”

Xu Huaishen shook his head, "No, I'll make an appointment another day."

"That's OK..."

Gan Nian and Xu Huaishen went out, and he asked if he wanted to eat something.

Oh, didn’t he just reject their late-night snack?

She stroked her black hair and asked, "Are you hungry?"

I can do it."

"Then go to the bakery and you can buy whatever you want tomorrow."

Just now, he felt that he was taking Gan Nian to have dinner with those not very familiar people, afraid that she would be embarrassed, not to mention that she was tired enough today, so she had to go back early to wash and rest.

Walking on the road, Gan Nian's cell phone rings, and it turned out that it was Gan Qing's phone number.

She picked up, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Gan Qing just missed her daughter tonight, so she called to care about her recent situation. A few days ago, I heard Gan Nian say that there was a cultural evening party recently, so she asked her about the performance.

After a few simple conversations, Gan Nian heard that her mother seemed to be in a good mood today, "Mom, did something good happen to make you happy?"

Gan Qing smiled, thought about it and told her daughter the truth: "Actually, some time ago, Uncle Luo had some problems at work. At that time, we were afraid that you would worry, so we didn't tell you.

Today he found a new job and the treatment was better than before, so my mother felt at ease."

It turned out to be because of work.

When Gan Nian heard this, the big rock in her heart fell on the ground. She smiled and pretended not to know it, "You didn't even tell me. Fortunately, my uncle found a new job, so my mother doesn't have to worry."

After making the phone call, Gan Nian shared the good news with the people around her with a smile. Seeing that she was so happy, the corners of her mouth were also infected by her.

"I told you that everything will pass and we will get better and better."

"Um."

He said.

Walking downstairs of the dormitory, Gan Nian turned around and said to him, "I'll go upstairs first, good night, deep in my heart."

This was the first time she called him "Hui Shen", and she deliberately bit the tail sound softly and seductively.

He looked at her, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his face was shining with a hazy light by the faint moonlight.

"Good night."

He spoke.

Gan Nian no longer teased him, so she turned around and turned to the stairs.

When she walked to the corridor, she saw Hao An holding a washbasin, standing there, lowering his head.

Why are you humming a song and walking over as if you didn't see her, but she stopped her: "Gan Nian--"

Gan Nian lifted her eyelids and glanced lightly: "Is there something wrong?"

"I'm very proud to be able to dance in front of all the school this year?"

Hao An stared at her with a bit of lip.

Gan Nian laughed, "I don't care about other people, as long as Xu Huaishen sees me jumping."

Hao An clenched the basin and his face became colder: "I saw him sending you back, you and him..."

Gan Nian cut off her words in a cold voice: "What's your business?

Put away your gossip and don’t ask me for trouble. I haven’t settled the score with you when I sent a message to Xu Huaishen last time.

Hao An.

Don't give me shamelessness."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

——

Monday, English class.

As soon as class started, the English teacher said that he would pick a few classmates up to go to the blackboard to dictate.

The English teacher was flipping through the list, and Gan Nian buried her head low: "Don't draw me..."

"Gan Nian--" The teacher closed the roster, "Come on, come up."

Gan Nian let out a "whistle" in her heart, her face full of tears. Lin Sheng saw her so "lucky" behind her, and she kept laughing.

Gan Nian turned her head and glared at him, and then saw Xu Huaishen next to her just looked at her with a faint face, without any sign of laughter. In contrast, she scolded Lin Sheng: "Glimpse."

She stood up with her fate, walked to the podium, and the teacher said, "Then order another one."

Before she could open the list, a girl below raised her hand: "Teacher, I'll do it."

It was Hao An who spoke.

Gan Nian stopped her hand holding the chalk and looked up at her, which met her confident look.

Oh, this man is here to declare war.

The English teacher nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, come up.

Everyone should learn more from Hao An, see if they read well and have a high enthusiasm for learning.”

Hao An walked up and occupied the other side of the blackboard.

After all the students were ready, the English teacher began to chant words.
