Chapter 6: 6

Tang Cuo’s seat in Tang Xu’s class has moved from the penultimate row to the first row.

 

Engineering courses are extremely boring; the lectures are nothing more than formulas. However, Tang Xu’s class was extremely lively. There were always sightseeing groups coming to his class to check in. Of course, all of them were girls.

 

At first, Tang Xu laughed off this situation; at best, he said jokingly, “I will ask questions in class later, and if anyone can’t answer it. I will punish you to copy the formula.”

 

Despite this, the students’ eagerness to see the handsome guy is not diminished in the slightest.

 

Until one day, when Tang Xu arrived in the classroom, he found that the small room was already full of people. Tang Cuo stood in the aisle with his schoolbag on his back, looking at him blankly while holding a stack of homework books in his hand.

 

He sighed heavily and walked to the podium. He said, “Students, I have no objection to your attending the class out of any interest, but it must be under the condition that the students in my class are not affected.” Then he raised his chin at Tang Cuo and said, “Now, can someone give my class representative a seat?”

 

The phrase “my class representative” made Tang Cuo’s entire lesson feel like a dream.

 

“Tang Cuo?”

 

The student sitting next to Tang Cuo poked him with his elbow. The pen in Tang Cuo’s hand drew a stroke in the book. He always cherishes books very much, and he is very reluctant to get the books dirty. So when he stood up slowly, his eyes were fixed on the book.

 

Looking up again, he noticed that Tang Xu wasn’t standing behind the computer-studded podium in front of him, but instead stood directly in front of him and looked at him with a smile and glanced at the book.

 

The chalk that Tang Xu pinched in his hand turned around. He didn’t look back; he raised his hand and pointed back at the big screen with the chalk and asked, “What is the steady-state error for the unit step response?”

 

In fact, when Tang Cuo was called out, the students in the class were not surprised. After all, Tang Cuo has always been the stoutest1 thigh in the class, with the kind of ability to turn the tide2and save the scum at the end of the term. However, Tang Cuo’s words left the students below dumbfounded.

 

“…What is the steady-state error?” Tang Cuo said this very calmly, without fear of being caught for not paying attention in class.

 

The highly valued student was caught in class and didn’t listen to the lecture. The group of students were shocked and suspicious. They put down their phones and waited for the show to begin.

 

Tang Xu, who was standing on the podium, tilted his head and asked, “Why, my lecture today is boring?”

 

Upon hearing this, except for Tang Cuo, almost everyone immediately became aware of the atmosphere and did not dare to come out.

 

The atmosphere in the classroom became strange and tense all of a sudden. Tang Xu, on the other hand, smiled as he looked around the classroom and said, “Oh, that’s wrong. It’s not today. This course is inherently boring. so in my opinion, you students who dawdle in the class are quite careless.”

 

After saying that, it attracted laughter from a group of students.

 

Tang Xu signalled Tang Cuo to sit down, and when the laughter died down, he said the answer was equal to zero and continued to give lectures. Tang Cuo didn’t pay attention to the second half of the lecture because he saw Tang Xu dangling in front of his eyes.

 

After class, Tang Cuo didn’t run away quickly, but dallied in the seat to pack his schoolbag. On the podium, Tang Xu was being asked a question by a boy. He explained it to him by writing and drawing on the blackboard. During the movements, the lines of his forearms were very beautiful.

 

“CuoCuo, remember to go to rehearsal at night.”

 

A hand was placed on his shoulder; the person was Lu Hong, the literary and art committee member of their class. He is obviously a big and strong guy. However, because he didn’t attend the class meeting on the day of the class committee election, he was unknowingly tricked by a group of friends and classmates into becoming a literary and arts committee member, and he has been re-elected until now.

 

The University of Science and Technology has a lot of orientation activities every year. Except for a grand welcome party at the beginning of the school year, each college would have a welcome party jointly organised by the student union and the Youth League Committee. The time is uncertain and depends entirely on the individual style and efficiency of the college. Tang Cuo’s college is the School of Telecommunications, which is one of the best colleges in the University of Science and Technology. Naturally, he strives for excellence in everything; even the activities of the welcome party must be meticulously planned. It has already been a month since school started, and the party has yet to be held, but that’s fine. There was also a small college that held a welcome party at the end of the semester and became famous ever since.

 

Tang Cuo nodded and said, “Got it.”

 

This time, their class had a programme, a youth-themed poem recitation, and he and He Zhong were in charge of the soundtrack’s flute part. The programme is easy to prepare with a small number of people, and it does not require daily practise like dances and dramas. There are only four of them in charge of poetry recitation: one for piano music, and he and two others for flute music. They all practised in private first, then together two or three times, and it was finished.

 

When Lu Hong left, there was no one around Tang Xu. He picked up the mobile phone on the table and pressed the button, as if he were replying to someone. When he noticed Tang Cuo hadn’t left, he asked casually, “Are you still not leaving?”

 

Tang Cuo stood up, thought for a moment, and then asked, “Do I have to copy the formula?”

 

Tang Xu’s fluttering fingers paused, and then he looked at Tang Cuo, puzzled and slightly amused.

 

Tang Cuo bit his lower lip regretfully after seeing his expression. It’s a pity that the words spoken were like slipped water. Tang Xu’s laughter has already taken over Tang Cuo’s ears.

 

“What are you thinking? I’m just teasing them, ah.” Tang Xu seemed to have finished dealing with the matter. He smiled subtly while slipping the phone into his trouser pocket. He walked off from the podium with the book, raised his hand, rubbed Tang Cuo’s head, and asked, “Are you stupid?”

 

It’s really stupid. Anyone can see that Tang Xu’s constant talk about punishing students who can’t answer questions to copy the formulas is just a joke, but Tang Cuo still wonders if it’s true.

 

Tang Cuo lowered his head and let out a faint “oh.”

 

Tang Xu finally stopped laughing. “What made you miss the class today?”

 

Tang Cuo said, “Sleepy.”

 

Tang Xu shook his head, looking at his two large bags under his eyes, and asked, “Why, the bad habit of staying up late in the boys’ dormitory still flourishing?”

 

“Well,” Tang Cuo squeezed this answer out of his nose. After the squeeze, he noticed Tang Xu’s jaw tense, so he lifted it slightly, causing his lower lip to lift slightly.

 

Tang Cuo lowered his eyes and thought, “It’s still the same action; it hasn’t changed.” He used to be like this whenever he disagreed with something or someone in his heart. There would be this small change on his face; probably even Tang Xu didn’t know it.

 

“Don’t stay up too late in the future. Didn’t you read the news two days ago? A college student who always stayed up late died suddenly. If your roommate goes to bed late, you can urge them not to open their mouths.” Tang Xu picked up the book after he finished speaking “Automatic Control Principles,” and handed it to him, and said, “You didn’t listen to the lecture in class and even drew on the book. Let me exchange this one for you. I have two copies, and the one I got today happens to be the new one.”

 

Tang Cuo raised his head surprisely. He hurriedly shook his head and said, “No need.”

 

“Tsk, why are you being polite to me?”

 

Tang Cuo remained silent because he didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t clearly set a position for the familiarity between himself and Tang Xu until now, and he’s not sure if it was to the point where he didn’t have to be polite.

“I just heard your classmate Lu Hong say that you are going to rehearse. what are you rehearsing for?”

 

“The programme of the university welcome party,” Tang Cuo replied meticulously.

 

“Oh? What are you performing?”

 

“Flute. Our class poetry recitation. I composed the music. ”

 

A glint of appreciation flashed in Tang Xu’s eyes. “You learned the flute? Not bad.”

 

Tang Cuo said with a smile “The level is not good. I just blow it randomly.”

 

Tang Xu seemed to be about to say something when he was interrupted by a student who entered the classroom unexpectedly to self-study.

 

Tang Cuo paused to look at the student standing at the door before taking the book off the table and said, “Teacher Tang, I’ll go back first.”

 

Tang Xu walked back to the office by himself. He was about to enter when he heard lively laughter in the opposite office. A teacher was discussing a recent instance of his child’s sharp tongue when arguing with him at home. All the teachers lament that now The kids really can’t say enough. Tang Xu entered to join in the fun, and after a while of listening, he asked the older teacher, “If a child is talkative when they are young, will they become less talkative as they grow up?”

 

The teacher was surprised. “There is no such thing as a rule for this. It is determined by the child’s personality development.Some children don’t change much from childhood to adulthood, while others have changed quite a lot. It has something to do with family, experience, and the influence of those around them, among other things.”

 

Tang Xu frowned when he heard this.

 

Tang Cuo rehearsed for two hours in the hall on the first floor of the Telecommunications College’s teaching building at night. Before the show was finally completed, several people double-checked every detail. When it was over, Lu Hong invited everyone to eat barbecue. Tang Cuo was a little hungry after playing the flute, so he responded very positively. A girl who was drinking water on the side suddenly called out to him, “Tang Cuo, your phone is vibrating!”

 

The name displayed on the phone screen is a bit inexplicable—a word “ah.”

 

The girl was very perceptive. After she accidentally glanced at it, she said with a smile, “Ah, Brother Cuo is so romantic. The girlfriend is the first person on the contact list.”

 

That was from Tang Xu. Tang Cuo couldn’t care less about the girl, so he simply smiled and walked away with his phone. It’s been a long time since the phone call. Despite his panic, Tang Cuo picked it up right away.

 

“Are you done with the rehearsal?” The lazy voice came from the other side; even in the cluttered surroundings, it was very clear.

 

“Well, it’s over.” Tang Cuo said

 

“Are you hungry? I haven’t eaten yet because I’ve been so busy. Why don’t you join me for a midnight snack?”

 

Tang Cuo raised his other hand and buckled the pillar next to him, “I’m not hungry…”

 

Either how to say there is a god three feet above the head, just after the calm lie was told. Tang Cuo heard an exclamation over there.

 

“Teacher Tang!”

 

Tang Cuo was startled and immediately poked one eye out from behind the pillar to look over there, only to see Tang Xu was walking down the middle staircase with his mobile phone in hand. His heart trembled, and he hung up the phone without thinking.

 

When he looked over quietly again, he saw Tang Xu take the phone from his ear and look at it strangely.

 

Lu Hong walked up the stairs quickly, leaned close to Tang Xu, and smiled as he said, “Teacher Tang is leaving so late.”

 

Looking at their formation, Tang Xu asked in surprise, “Are you rehearsing here?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Only then did Tang Xu realise that the teacher’s building could indeed hear faint music at night. He subconsciously searched for Tang Xu but did not see him.

 

We’re planning to have a barbecue together, Teacher Tang. You are welcome to accompany us.”

 

Tang Xu was about to refuse when he noticed a corner of his clothes protruding from behind a square pillar in the lobby. With interest, he examined the careless corner of clothing. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “How many of you are there?”

Even though he couldn’t figure out what the question meant, Lu Hong said, “We were a group of seven, and two of us had just left. So there are five left.”

 

Tang Xu nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, then I can afford it. let’s go.”

 

Several people cheered for a while, and He Zhong’s voice was the loudest.

 

Tang Cuo, who was hiding behind the pillar, wanted to cry but had no tears, thinking in his heart that it would be better to make a time difference. He moved slowly against the pillar to avoid Tang Xu as he walked around.

 

However, as soon as the plan began to take shape, He Zhong’s high-pitched voice could be heard.

 

“Cuo Cuo!Let’s go!Why are you hiding there?!”

 

Tang Cuo’s scalp began to tingle, and he had no choice but to walk out into He Zhong’s puzzled gaze and meet another pair of playful eyes.

 

“I’m not going. I’m not hungry.” He spoke stiffly.

 

How can there be only one pig teammate? Birds of a feather flock together, and so do pigs.

 

Lu Hong, who was standing by Tang Xu’s side, exclaimed, “Are you kidding me?, Didn’t you just say you were going to eat?”

 

Tang Cuo: “……”

 

Tang Xu, who was standing under the light of the lobby at the time, smiled incomprehensibly. He waved at him and said, “Class representative, give face, and let’s go together.”
