I'm still quite useful, aren't I?

"It's raining really hard," Ning Yutong said softly. "Luckily, I brought a spare umbrella."

Does that sound like he's trying to take credit? Never mind.

"Thank you," Yu Heng replied, "otherwise the four of us would have really come out soaked."

Yu Heng noticed that her trouser legs and sneakers were already slightly wet.

"Hehe, I'm still quite useful, aren't I?" Ning Yutong said with a smile.

"How did you know I didn't bring an umbrella?" Yu Heng asked her, turning his head to the side.

Ning Yutong tilted her head and whispered, "I just guessed. I figured it hadn't rained since school started, so you probably wouldn't think to buy an umbrella."

"So you know me pretty well." Yu Heng smiled.

"Actually, no..." Ning Yutong blushed and quickly changed the subject, "Were you editing videos late last night?"

"It's alright, around 12 o'clock," Yu Heng said.

"Ah...it's so late, thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing, I promised you," Yu Heng said casually.

I promised you.

Ning Yutong repeated these words in her mind, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

She lowered her head and watched the two walking side by side.

He took long strides, but deliberately slowed them down; her canvas shoes stepped on the edge of the puddle, splashing small water droplets.

"I've watched the video several times," Ning Yutong smiled, "I didn't expect it to be so effective."

"The source material is good, so I can edit it however I want," Yu Heng said honestly. "You'll send it directly after the interview this afternoon?"

"Great!" Ning Yutong's eyes lit up. "The data shouldn't be too bad, right? I'm a little nervous."

"It shouldn't be bad." Yu Heng said confidently, "A video of this quality should get tens of thousands of likes."

Ning Yutong's cheeks flushed slightly at his words: "It's not that amazing..."

She couldn't suppress the little thrill in her heart, and even her steps became a bit more cheerful.

The rise and fall of her chest brushed against Yu Heng's arm, and Yu Heng felt the soft touch on his arm and raised an eyebrow.

They neither dodged nor pointed it out.

Is this considered a hidden benefit?

The two walked to the entrance of the bishop's building. Yu Heng closed his umbrella and shook off the water.

"Thank you for the umbrella." Yu Heng handed the pink umbrella back to her. "They'll take that one; I'll return it to you later. I doubt the rain will stop even after class."

"Okay~" Ning Yutong took the umbrella. "Then I'm going to class."

Ning Yutong turned around and took two steps, then turned back, waved to him, and then jogged upstairs.

The "Introduction to Communication Studies" class at 8 AM is so boring and tedious; it's such a waste of time.

Before being reborn, I felt it was a waste of time; after being reborn, I feel it even more so.

What's the point of discussing these theories?

It would be better to teach more practical skills.

After graduation, I can still work as a film and television production worker.

Meanwhile, at Qin Lu's home.

The mother and daughter were sitting at the dining table, on which sat a glass of milk and several slices of whole wheat bread.

She didn't have much of an appetite, and her knees were a little sore.

And after one night, my throat was actually a little swollen.

She has a very narrow throat, and sometimes she gets choked when she eats noodles too fast.

That little rascal almost made her vomit at the last moment.

"Mom," Qin Ya said, coming out of the bedroom, "what's for breakfast?"

"Get your own bread," Qin Lu said, pointing to the table.

Why is this little girl eating breakfast?

Qin Ya picked up a piece of bread and put it in her mouth, saying indistinctly, "Are you going to school today?"

"Yes, I have a meeting this morning, and I also have a club interview this afternoon."

After dinner, Qin Lu stood in front of the wardrobe, somewhat lost in thought.

"Mom, are you thinking about what stockings to wear?" Qin Ya leaned in from behind, grinning mischievously. "I think black suits you well, it makes you look slimmer."

-

Yu Heng finally waited until the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

As soon as Ning Yutong left the classroom, she received a WeChat message.

Ning Yutong: "Yu Heng, do you have classes this morning?"

Yu Heng: "Yes, it happened in the third quarter at 302. What happened?"

Ning Yutong: "Want to have lunch together? And if the rain stops, could you give me your umbrella?"

Yu Heng: "Sure, what do you want to eat?"

Ning Yutong: "Anything is fine! You decide~"

Yu Heng: "Okay, then see you at the entrance of the second canteen at noon."

Ning Yutong: "Okay! (*╹▽╹*) I'm going back to my dorm now!"

-

By the end of the second period, the rain had stopped.

But the sky was still overcast.

When he walked to the cafeteria entrance with his umbrella, Ning Yutong was already waiting there, looking down at her phone.

She changed out of her wet canvas shoes from the morning and put on a pair of dark-colored sneakers.

"Have you been waiting long?" Yu Heng walked over.

Ning Yutong looked up, her eyes curving into crescents: "No, I just arrived too!"

She held out her hand: "Give me the umbrella, I'll take it back."

"No rush," Yu Heng said, not giving her any. "Eat first, we can talk about it when we get back to your dorm. There are too many people inside, it's inconvenient to carry it."

"Oh, okay." Ning Yutong withdrew her hand, feeling a little happy.

This means that after dinner, we can walk together for a while, at least to the dormitory building.

The two walked into the cafeteria side by side.

It was lunchtime, and there were queues of moderate length at each of the food serving windows.

"What do you want to eat?" Yu Heng asked, turning his head. "The stir-fries here are alright, and the noodle place is crowded too."

Ning Yutong wasn't actually very hungry; she just wanted to spend more time with Yu Heng. "I'm fine with anything...it's up to you."

"Let's have some stir-fry, hurry up." Yu Heng walked towards the stir-fry window. "What do you want? It's on me."

"Oh? No, no!" Ning Yutong quickly waved her hand. "It's my treat!"

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Yu Heng raised an eyebrow.

"Really, you don't need to! I still have plenty of living expenses!" Ning Yutong didn't want Yu Heng to spend money.

She wasn't really aware of Yu Heng's family situation, and she was quite surprised when he rented a villa after starting university.

Because Yu Heng seemed quite frugal during high school?

She knew he was starting a business, and that he needed to rent a place and buy equipment, which would cost him a lot of money.

"Okay, let's each order our own!" Yu Heng didn't insist.

After getting their food, the two found a relatively quiet two-person table in the corner and sat down.

They placed the plates of food in the middle so that everyone could eat.

Ning Yutong's voice was soft, with a hint of probing: "Yu Heng, your training this afternoon... may I watch it?"

Yu Heng looked up at her, somewhat surprised, "You don't have classes this afternoon either?"

Ning Yutong nodded: "Yes, I want to watch you play basketball, is that okay?"

She really enjoyed watching Yu Heng play basketball. Boys also played in high school, but there were just too few physical education classes.

There's only one class a week, and most of the time it's already taken up.

Even when the school leaders went to Hengshi No. 1 High School for training during the senior year, they directly canceled all physical education classes.

Yu Heng squinted and smiled, saying, "Then go ahead, they shouldn't be able to stop us from coming in."

Indoor basketball courts have limited space and usually require reservations.

The department must have given us advance notice today.

And with beautiful women watching, the training shouldn't be so boring.

Ning Yutong couldn't hide her joy: "Then I'll go with you after I finish eating?"

Yu Heng: "Sure."
