After The Honest Person Was Discovered For Simultaneously Pursuing Three People - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Little Lemon Has No Owner, Very Good

The man’s expression was still cold, but on closer inspection, one would find that his gaze on Tao Ning was gradually darkening. However, the person being stared at was completely unaware. A few seconds later, the next question came in a flurry: “What kind of food do you usually bring back to the dorm?”

Tao Ning thought for a moment. “I like to drink porridge, so I usually bring porridge back. Also steamed buns, tofu pudding, and dishes and rice from the cafeteria. If you mind, I’ll just eat at the cafeteria before I come back.”

“I don’t mind. Is it plain porridge? What kind of dishes do you prefer?”

“It’s vegetable porridge. It’s very delicious… I like all vegetables. Stir-fried eggs with tomatoes are also very delicious.”

“What about things you don’t like?”

Tao Ning felt confused. Did they have to talk about what food he liked or disliked? But the man opposite him had a calm expression, as if he was just talking to his roommate about habits. So Tao Ning still answered: “Actually, there’s nothing I dislike eating. I just can’t eat things that are too spicy or too oily…”

And so, Tao Ning ended up talking to him about how many people were in his family and what they did. He also talked about almost all the major things that had happened from the first grade of elementary school until now. He didn’t feel that anything was wrong. He even felt that this target was a very good person. Besides not having much emotional fluctuation, he was actually very talkative, and his words and actions were flawless and didn’t make him feel uncomfortable.

He was indeed worthy of being someone who went from a transfer student to the student council president.

As Tao Ning talked, he found that Xu Jun was also doing math Olympiad problems and was also preparing for next year’s International Mathematical Olympiad, and he was even cramming. He was very interested and started talking to this target, who was the only one who could keep up with his way of thinking, about his recent difficult problems.

Unknowingly, Xu Jun was sitting next to his desk. Tao Ning pointed at a proof problem from Germany and excitedly started talking to him: “This problem has a lot of assumptions. The key is Vieta jumping, but yesterday I found a new way to solve it…”

As he spoke, Xu Jun could completely understand him and even verified some of his conjectures with him. Tao Ning’s eyes were shining because the people around him in the past rarely understood what he was saying and were not interested in these things at all. He didn’t expect to meet a like-minded person now.

Although he had an unpleasant start with this target, that unpleasantness was now gone. Tao Ning didn’t even notice that the distance between them was getting closer and closer, their shoulders touching. They were so close that he could touch the face of the person next to him with just a slight tilt of his head.

“That’s enough for today. You’re a little tired.”

Xu Jun suddenly spoke. Tao Ning was still not satisfied. After being reminded by him, a deep fatigue came over him after the excitement. He nodded: “Okay.”

As he took his clothes to go shower, the person behind him asked again: “Did you take your medicine?”

Tao Ning turned around and met a pair of cold eyes. There was no emotional fluctuation. The cold, gold-rimmed glasses made the man look even more indifferent and unapproachable, but through their conversation just now, Tao Ning’s opinion of him had completely changed.

Xu Jun was a good person.

Although he didn’t know how he had found out that he was taking medicine, Tao Ning still nodded obediently: “Yes, I did.” It was so disgusting. He had to prepare himself mentally for a long time every day before he took it. He had also thought about throwing it away, but the medicine was so expensive that he didn’t dare to be willful.

“Hmm.”

Xu Jun didn’t ask any more questions. He watched the boy enter the bathroom. When he was out of sight, he opened the drawer. The pale yellow lemon cookie bag was now flat and neat and was placed in a special collection album. The album also contained various awards and honors.

He rubbed the word ‘lemon’ on the packaging bag with his fingertips for a moment, took out a thick black notebook, and wrote a line with his pen—

“The little lemon has no owner. That’s good.”

When the rich, sweet scent slowly wafted and filled the entire dorm, Xu Jun’s hand holding the pen tightened. He couldn’t help but hold his breath. After a moment, he turned his head. His pupils behind the glasses suddenly contracted. He saw that the “little lemon” in the notebook had turned into a specific boy.

A clean towel was on the boy’s wet head. While he was wiping his hair, he pulled up his somewhat loose pajama pants and muttered: “Why did they get bigger…” His sticky gaze fell on his exquisite and flawless facial features. Without the dull, heavy black-rimmed glasses covering them, his long eyelashes, curled like a butterfly’s wings, trembled slightly. And under the thick eyelashes, there was a pair of eyes that seemed to be carved out of crystal.

The crystal was clean and clear, just like the boy’s brown eyes. When the elevator door opened, he looked over with a bewildered and clean gaze and told him: “Ning from ‘lemon’.”

The dorm was very quiet. There was only the rustling sound of the boy wiping his hair and his soft muttering.

At this moment, Xu Jun felt that Tao Ning had a pair of the most beautiful eyes in the world.

His gaze slowly moved down and fell on the boy’s plump, rosy lips. As if he had been burned, Xu Jun couldn’t help but look away. The strict and old-fashioned tutoring he had received since he was a child made him clearly know.

It was wrong to stare at someone so directly. It would also expose the hunting ground.

“I have a high-power hair dryer. Do you need it?”

At the sudden sound, Tao Ning’s hand that was wiping his hair paused. There was a public hair dryer in the dorm. The wattage was also limited. Oksen College had a lot of restrictions on students in the regular class. They were not allowed to bring in high-power appliances. But now, this student council president, who was in charge of deducting points, was telling him that he had a high-power hair dryer. Wasn’t this using public authority for private gain, and making the crime even worse?

Tao Ning was a little confused: “I don’t think we can use it…”

“You can.”

“Then you’ll get points deducted.”

“That’s not what I mean. I mean you’re the president. Isn’t it bad to take the lead in breaking the rules…”

Xu Jun picked up the hair dryer and walked over step by step. He was very tall, and his presence was extremely oppressive. When he walked over, it was as if all the light around them was blocked. A shadow fell on him. Tao Ning couldn’t help but step back until the distance between them was only a few dozen centimeters, and their breaths were intertwined.

Xu Jun stopped and handed him the hair dryer. His face was still expressionless: “I’ll tell the school tomorrow that I should be deducted one point according to the rules. Use it.”

“No, that’s not it.” Tao Ning was a little anxious. His roommate was sharing a hair dryer with him. How could he report him? Of course, that’s not what he meant. But the more he wanted to express himself, the more anxious he got. He knitted his delicate eyebrows on his fair face, looking anxious but unable to say anything.

So cute.

Xu Jun’s gaze gradually darkened. He didn’t continue to tease the little lemon who was so anxious he was about to smoke: “Then can I… not let it happen again?”

Tao Ning nodded hard: “Of course you can!”
