Generally speaking, this kind of arts class just involves performing a program, either singing or dancing, and of course, if you can sing and dance, that's even better.

But there's no specific stage for this, like performing on the podium.

It's more like several classes gather together, and the middle area becomes the stage for the performer.

Xu Lin had previously acquired a skill in singing proficiency, which he hadn't used yet.

Firstly, he used to be tone-deaf. Although he could pretend to be a voice actor in games to amuse female teammates, being tone-deaf was a known fact.

Secondly, he's not a shower singer.

So, if he hadn't looked at the panel, he would have almost forgotten he had this skill.

"So, I can sing."

"But what should I sing?"

Although Xu Lin usually listens to music, he mostly listens to energetic foreign songs, which he uses to hype himself up when playing games.

Xu Lin doesn't actually know what he's singing in these songs, just like foreigners listening to domestic DJ music, it's mostly incomprehensible.

"Let me think..."

Xu Lin was pondering on how to shine during military training for the past few days, but he hadn't found a way yet.

Now, there's an arts class during military training, I wonder if I can do something with it?

Xu Lin thought that, logically, his proficiency in singing should count as shining brightly, right?

With this thought in mind, the daytime military training concluded quickly today.

Unlike the torment of the first two days of military training, during which not just the girls but even some boys secretly shed tears in their bed missing home, many are staying at school for the first time in university.

Now it's the fourth day, and most people have already gotten used to it.

Ms. Ren was still worried Xu Lin wouldn't get used to it and called him every day.

Ms. Ren: "Linlin, I sent you a box of milk. Remember to get it when you finish military training tonight!"

"It's not Wangzai milk, is it?"

"What Wangzai milk? It's imported German high-calcium milk!"

"That's good then."

Xu Lin always thought Wangzai milk was for kids, although that's definitely a wrong notion.

Xu Lin: "I'll go get it tonight then!"

Ms. Ren: "Send me a selfie to have a look."

Xu Lin sent her a selfie.

Ms. Ren: "How is your skin still so fair?"

Xu Lin: "I don't know."

The mother and son chatted for a while.

During meal time in the afternoon, Xu Lin went to the canteen to eat alone.

Dinner was on the second floor of the first canteen, three meats, one vegetable, and a soup for eighteen bucks, quite affordable.

But halfway through eating, someone sat down in front of him.

Xu Lin looked up and found it was Ning Yuhuan.

Ning Yuhuan was dressed in casual clothes, short-sleeved shirt and jeans, her hair still in a high ponytail, quite eye-catching.

"Can I eat here?"

Ning Yuhuan asked, her pretty face blushing slightly.

If Xu Lin understood micro-expressions or micro-actions, he would know Ning Yuhuan was a bit nervous at the moment.

But Xu Lin didn't understand.

Ning Yuhuan concealed it well, looking quite calm.

Xu Lin didn't pay much attention either.

Xu Lin said, "Senior, since you already sat down, I can't chase you away, can I?"

"Yeah."

Ning Yuhuan pursed her lips and sat in front of Xu Lin, then started eating.

If it were an average guy, having a meal with a girl for the first time, even if she wasn't pretty, the guy might feel uneasy and a bit nervous, let alone if the girl was beautiful.

But Xu Lin wasn't like that.

Xu Lin was too bold.

Ning Yuhuan had just started eating with her chopsticks.

Xu Lin asked, "Senior, is that beef stir-fried with green beans?"

"Yeah, beef stir-fried with green beans."

Ning Yuhuan's tray had one meat and two vegetables.

Xu Lin asked again, "Can I have a piece of your beef?"

"Huh...do you want to try?"

Ning Yuhuan was taken aback, not expecting him to be so bold.

But Xu Lin did something even bolder, as he reached for a piece of beef and started chewing it before she could say no.

"Tastes good, which window is it from?"

Xu Lin asked.

"That...window!"

Ning Yuhuan's heart raced, she couldn't believe Xu Lin was so bold.

She pointed to a window behind Xu Lin on the right, and Xu Lin took a look.

Actually, Xu Lin had also been at that window just now.

At this point, Xu Lin took another piece of beef and two green beans from her plate and ate them.

"Really tastes good!"

Xu Lin ate with great interest and transferred two pieces of braised ribs and three pieces of spicy chicken from his tray to hers.

Xu Lin said, "Reciprocity, I'm giving you some of my meat, is that okay?"

"Yeah."

Ning Yuhuan nodded.

Honestly, when a girl takes the initiative to sit in front of you and have a meal, it means there's potential.

Xu Lin firmly believed he hadn't grasped any state secrets, leading to a situation like a spy thriller where the girl opposite him was an agent tasked with getting close to him and then embedding herself by his side.

Of course, that's impossible!

Xu Lin finally noticed Ning Yuhuan's nervousness, her blushing beautiful face, like a budding flower in early spring, bright yet shy, with long eyelashes fluttering like the flicker of light in water, exuding elegance with her gaze.

Ning Yuhuan was very beautiful, with a striking yet gentle charm, carrying an indescribable aura.

Resilient, gentle?

Both, indeed.

The square table was less than a meter wide, and at this close distance, Xu Lin could faintly catch a natural fragrance from her.

And this body fragrance, at a closer distance, becomes even clearer.

After they were full, the bold Xu Lin took the other person to the milk tea shop on the second floor.

Last time, the golden tangerine lemon was bought here.

"Senior, do you want a golden tangerine lemon, or some other fruit tea?"

Xu Lin asked, but then added, "Milk tea is too rich, we'll just have some fruit tea."

"Golden tangerine lemon, then!"

Ning Yuhuan hadn't really had much fruit tea or milk tea before, but occasionally had lemon tea and freshly squeezed orange juice when out with friends.

Last time, Xu Lin had treated her to a golden tangerine lemon.

"Senior, you've made a wise choice!"

In Xu Lin's opinion, golden tangerine lemon tastes quite potent, refreshing with a tangy twist, making you almost salivate with just a sip.

A cup of golden tangerine lemon costs eight yuan, with a three-part sugar, less ice.

Xu Lin bought two cups.

However, at checkout, it was Ning Yuhuan who paid.

Xu Lin hadn't brought his meal card, nor had he bound it to Alipay, and was just about to scan the code to pay when Ning Yuhuan had already swiped — student card.

"Let me treat this time!" Ning Yuhuan said.

"Okay."

Xu Lin accepted without reservation.

Xu Lin stood beside her, and while they were waiting for the fruit tea, Xu Lin scented the fragrance emanating from her and looked at her high ponytail.

Xu Lin felt that Ning Yuhuan's high ponytail seemed to have a special kind of magic.

He wanted to grab it.

Really wanted to grab it!

Actually, Yu Xinyan also often wore a high ponytail, maybe because he saw it too often, so Xu Lin didn't feel anything.

"Senior, what shower gel did you use?"

Xu Lin sniffed slightly.

"Just... Safeguard shower gel."

Ning Yuhuan didn't know why Xu Lin was asking this.

Xu Lin suddenly said, "No way, I also use Safeguard shower gel, it's not this scent."

As he said it, he even leaned close to Ning Yuhuan's shoulder to sniff.

Moreover, he boldly grabbed Ning Yuhuan's high ponytail, holding her smooth and supple high ponytail in his hand, playing with it.

"What kind of shampoo is this? How is the hair so smooth?"

"Xu Lin!"

Ning Yuhuan's voice increased by two notches, her pretty face flushed red, eyes fixed on Xu Lin, her pupils like rippling water.

Xu Lin thought inwardly: So beautiful!

Especially looking at her rosy cheeks, Xu Lin even wanted to pinch her cheeks.

Forget it.

Xu Lin thought for a moment, feeling it was too ruffian, and he had already managed to touch her high ponytail as he wished.

Though he still wanted to continue touching.

Next time!

One should not be too greedy, as the ancients said: take it step by step.

"Students, your golden tangerine lemon is ready!"

The guy at the milk tea shop seemed unable to watch any longer, called out loudly, and put two cups of golden tangerine lemon on the counter.

"Senior, our fruit tea is ready."

Xu Lin reluctantly let go of her high ponytail.

The feel was really good.

Xu Lin still wanted to touch it.

"Mm-hmm."

Ning Yuhuan nodded slightly.

Not long after taking the milk tea, the two parted ways, as Xu Lin prepared to go to the big playground, as it was almost time for evening military training.

As for Ning Yuhuan.

She, holding a cup of golden tangerine lemon, with a shoulder bag containing her laptop and books, went to the third floor of the library.

Ning Yuhuan was lucky enough to get a seat by the window.

Because a boy just packed up and left.

The competition for library seats was fierce, and Ning Yuhuan sat down immediately.

Luckily, she snatched it.

Laptop, books, notebook, pen, and golden tangerine lemon, all placed on the desk.

Ning Yuhuan opened the first page of her notebook.

2025 Overall Goal?

First in grade point average for the second half of the freshman year. Completed.

First in grade point average for the first half of the sophomore year.

600 points on CET-4. Completed.

600 points on CET-6.

First-class national scholarship. Completed.

And various smaller goals based on the overall goal that have already been completed.

Splat!

Ning Yuhuan inserted the straw into her cup of golden tangerine lemon, took a light sip with her small mouth.

As the night was about to descend, through the window, you could see the shadows of trees swaying, and hear the rustling sound of leaves by your ears.

Also, don't know if any leaves fell due to the breeze.

The September wind, at just the right time, brings coolness to the hot weather, and peace to the restless heart.

But the young boys and girls have no time to appreciate the natural world, as they hurry about, leisurely, or with worries... but no matter who it is, no one pauses for a moment here, because their youth is still brilliant and radiant, like the bright stars and moon in the sky.

Ning Yuhuan picked up her pen and in the sixth column of the overall goal, wrote five words:

Find a boyfriend?

Feelings arise without reason.

Young love doesn't need too many reasons, weighing pros and cons is something for those over twenty.

In youth, maybe it's just seeing someone in a crowd, leading to a heart-fluttering beginning.

Only youthful feelings are the purest, and also the most unreasonable.
