"I've met up with Xiaojing and we're ready to go home. Is Youjie ready to go back to the dormitory?" It was only about ten minutes later when Shi Taoxiang messaged me,

"I'm getting ready to go back to the dormitory now. Be safe on your way home."

"Okay, Youjie." I even sent a cute emoji, and if I hadn't interacted with her personally, I would have thought she was a lively and cute girl just from our conversations on LINE.

Thinking this, I turned off my phone and started heading towards the boys' dormitory.

"Hey, come with me," a guy with disheveled golden hair suddenly appeared out of nowhere, tall and thin. He put his arm around me, and I couldn't get away right away.

"What's up?" I looked at the armband on his arm, seemingly a member of the disciplinary committee.

"You'll know if you're honest," and so, almost being forced, I followed him to the place where the disciplinary committee gathered.

To put it simply, it was the disciplinary committee's hub.

"Aibiao, did you bring another delinquent here again?" The one asking was a muscular guy who looked like he could pack a punch. His face was intimidating.

"Just ask him yourself!"

"I'm too lazy to ask. I have to go home." After saying that, he grabbed his clothes and left with them draped over his shoulder.

"All show, no substance," the tall and skinny guy disdainfully said.

"Just now, you were all lovey-dovey with the girl in front of everyone, huh?" He turned his attention towards me and started questioning me.

"No, I wasn't."

"Don't lie here, there's no benefit for you. Our spies saw it, and you were so blatantly breaking the rules."

"I really wasn't lovey-dovey."

"You two weren't hugging each other?! Not yet," he was clearly angry.

"Things were urgent, I was just trying to save someone."

"Saving someone? That's just another excuse," he plopped down onto a chair.

"That's the truth, I wasn't lying. The situation was dire and there was no time to hesitate."

"Everyone has hundreds, thousands of excuses every day. Although... I don't think it's a big deal to be in a relationship, you should still have some discretion. Like me... I'm very conservative," after saying that, he stood up and slapped my shoulder heavily.

"Aibiao... "

"Huh? Why did this bookworm suddenly show up out of nowhere and scare the hell out of me?"

"Aibiao, you're still the same, always changing sides," a slightly chubby guy walked out from the dark. He seemed knowledgeable but had a bit of a chubby body. The lenses of his glasses were reflecting white light, and he was holding a book full of math problems.

"It's normal to introduce ourselves when we meet."

"You talk too much. I'm Chen Biao, and this is Fatso," the guy named Chen Biao impatiently introduced me.

"I'm not Fatso!"

"It's just a nickname, why do you care so much? Even if you tell him your name, he'll forget it. What's the point, right!?" Chen Biao turned to me and I nodded.

"You see, right? Self-introductions are a waste of breath."

"Basic manners!" Fatso felt a bit embarrassed.

"I'm Liao Bo, a member of the disciplinary committee. I'm good at solving any math problems."

"Stop bragging."

"You're last in the math class, enough said!"

"You really make me angry!"

"That's the truth, you only know 1+1=2,"

"I'm really angry!"

感觉太大了，每天都要吵架，甚至要动手，我趁现在溜走吧，

"Where do you want to go? Your matter is not resolved yet," Chen Biao again grabbed my shoulder with his hand,

"What did he do?"

"Oh...publicly dating, dating is prohibited in school,"

"Dating is a waste of time, it's better to do a math problem," he confidently solved a seemingly complex math problem on his notebook,

"Amazing...so impressive," I was genuinely amazed by his skills, even though I couldn't understand a single symbol. It was something beyond my comprehension, like the vast universe,

"This is just a little warm-up," Liao Bo adjusted his glasses and the lenses reflected the white light, making it hard for me to keep my eyes open,

"Why are you always playing with this, you fatso?"

"Can't you stop calling me fat?"

"You're fat and yet you don't want people to say it. Forget it, let's solve this matter. Otherwise, when the leader comes back, he will complain about our efficiency," Chen Biao waved his hand, seeming determined not to continue arguing with Liao Bo and turned his attention back to me,

"I have made it very clear, there was nothing between us, it was just an urgent situation and saving a person was more important,"

"But you still resist and deny it, why don't you just admit it openly? It doesn't matter if you're dating, it's not just you. I'm just looking for some excuses," Chen Biao shrugged, and his words seemed familiar, like he was setting a trap for me! Intentionally saying these things and then making me fall into it. Luckily, I realized it in time, but I wouldn't follow his intention because what I was going to say was completely different from what he said,

"It's really difficult..."

"Even Chen Biao feels troubled, haha,"

"Shut up, fatso,"

It felt like they were going to fight at any moment. I even had the idea of instigating them to fight and then sneak away. But before I could put it into action, their leader arrived,

"Leader! You're here!?"

"It's Miss Ling,"

Liao Bo and Chen Biao both looked at the door unconsciously,

"What are you two doing? Huh? Why is Youjie here?"

The person who arrived was Chen Ling, she was puzzled by how I ended up here,

"It's complicated," I responded with a troubled face,

"He committed that...love,"

"Now is not the time to deal with these trivial matters. People are gathering to fight in the backyard of the school. The two of you come with me to handle it," she directly interrupted what Chen Biao wanted to say. Chen Ling's expression was very serious, as if this other matter was more important compared to mine,

"Yes, leader,"

"Yes, Miss Ling," Liao Bo and Chen Biao immediately stood upright in a military posture,

Watching them get ready to leave, I thought that there shouldn't be any problem for me anymore. I planned to let them leave first and then follow. But what I didn't expect was,

"Remember to be more careful in the future, don't let me catch you again," Chen Biao advised me,

"Spend more time studying math problems, it will open the door to a new world for you," Liao Bo adjusted his glasses and handed me the complete collection of math problems that he had been holding,

Then he waved at me and gradually walked away. It felt like he was saying, "I'm counting on you." I was moved by such a heavy farewell,

Once they were no longer in sight, I walked out of the station. Seeing that there was no one around, I found a trash bin and threw the complete collection of math problems into it.

Do you think I can handle such a profound mathematics problem? You must be kidding!
