Chapter 1: Meeting your online crush in real life?
Lanjing University is a famous university with a long history.

It was autumn, and the plane trees on both sides of the boulevard were tall and graceful, with straight trunks and broad leaves, shining golden in the sunlight. When the wind blew, the fallen leaves flew everywhere, creating a beautiful environment.

In the early morning, students walked on this road, stepping on the spots of light on the ground, and rushed to the classroom one after another.

Chen Yuan is no exception.

There were three people in the group, besides him, there were the eldest brother in the dormitory, Quan Yafeng, and the fourth brother, Wei Zhen.

However, while they were talking and laughing, Chen Yuan was fiddling with his phone, tapping the screen with his nimble fingers.

The smile is bright and rippling.

"Are you kidding me? How can I miss that? I'm not bragging, but I broke a basketball hoop by dunking in high school."

"Why am I so unconvinced?"

"I'll try it for you."

No matter how old men are, they are all childish and competitive.

On the way to the classroom, the two started arguing because of a leaf hanging in the air.

The eldest brother treated the road as a runway, jumping back and forth with all his might, but each time he was just a little bit away from the leaf.

"Huh~ I haven't practiced for a long time, so I'm a little behind," he panted, looking up at Wei Zhen, "But don't disbelieve me, I joined the school team in my freshman year of high school, and I'm a gifted player. If you don't believe me, ask Chen Yuan, we went to the same high school!"

"Really?" Wei Zhen turned to look at Chen Yuan, "Hey!"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"Who are you chatting with? The corners of your mouth are all curled up to the sky, Third Brother."

"No one."

Chen Yuan put the phone back into his pocket, but the smile on his face was still obvious.

Students came and went on the tree-lined road, occasionally a few girls walked together. Their eyes swept over, and stayed on Chen Yuan especially for a long time.

Then they started whispering.

There are four people in the dormitory. Chen Yuan is the quietest among them and is the most popular among the girls.

He was 1.81 meters tall, with a tall figure and good facial features. He wore an ordinary gray sweater with a pure white lining, and jeans that cost only a few dozen yuan, but they made him look clean and sunny.

"My boss said he broke a basketball hoop by dunking in high school. Is that true?"

"It seems to be the case," Chen Yuan recalled carefully, "but I remember that the eldest brother was on the shot put team in high school."

“Hahahaha, it wasn’t smashed by a shot put, was it?”

"Just tell me whether it's broken or not!" Quan Yafeng glared and angrily locked Wei Zhen's neck with his arms.

The three of them walked into the classroom, talking and laughing.

The second child has already taken the seat and has been waiting for a long time.

But as soon as he entered the door, Chen Yuan was still shocked.

The huge classroom was so crowded that there was no place to stand. The aisles were filled with students and it was noisy.

"Over here!" Liu Nan's shout came into my ears.

"Oh, so many people?"

"Why don't you come early? Everyone rushes to attend Mr. Jiang's class. You'll get used to it in the future."

Chen Yuan sat down and listened to Liu Nan's introduction, quite surprised.

In the past, his concept of this kind of courses was just one word: muddle through!

It is considered good if you can just slack off, and there are also many students who skip classes.

As a freshman who had just been enrolled for two months, this was Chen Yuan’s first time taking a class taught by a popular teacher.

"I never regret taking Teacher Jiang Ning's class. Every time I take it, I hope the get out of class will never end. That way I can watch Teacher Jiang until the end of time, hehe~"

“So disgusting…”

Looking at Liu Nan's face full of daydreaming, Wei Zhen shuddered.

However, there were boys and even girls in the classroom who had the same idea as him!

Not in the minority.

Lanjing University has a tradition. In the past, there would be a beauty ranking list in the school bar every year, and students would upload photos for voting. In the past two years, it has been replaced with a more convenient mini program.

Jiang Ning has been coaching for two years and has won the first place in appearance twice.

In addition, I am elegant and intellectual, and have the halo of a high degree of education.

She is undoubtedly the standard white moonlight image in the hearts of many students.

Over time, his reputation grew and students came to attend every class.

Listening to many students talking about it, Chen Yuan couldn't help but become curious.

How beautiful must she be to attract so many classmates... Could she be prettier than a star? Just as he was thinking blankly with his chin in his hand, a figure flashed into the classroom.

……

Nearly two hundred people gathered in a classroom, and the chatter was enough to blow the roof off.

But after this figure came in, within a few seconds, the classroom fell silent.

Outside the cracked window, the chirping of a few sparrows standing on the low holly tree could be clearly heard.

Chen Yuan stared at the woman who walked up to the podium calmly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Wow, so beautiful..." A female classmate was so engrossed in watching that she completely forgot she was in the classroom and exclaimed in amazement.

A low laugh was heard, and Jiang Ning, who was standing on the podium, looked at her and smiled.

"Thank you, classmate. You look good too."

Jiang Ning was wearing a brown windbreaker. To facilitate the lecture, she used a shark clip to hold her long hair. The lining was pure white, and there was a hollow at the collarbone, with a pearl-like ornament hanging on it. Her neck was like a swan's neck, her cheeks were so white that they reflected light, and her eyes, nose and cherry mouth seemed to be drawn by a famous painter, just right.

The sunlight from the window shone onto the podium, and the shiny pendant on her ear sparkled.

"Students, in this class we will be discussing the general introduction to Chinese culture." Jiang Ning began to lecture. Many students held up their cheeks and stared at her intently, not listening to what she was saying.

I just think she is good-looking and has a nice voice.

Chen Yuan was also stunned. Liu Nan pulled Wei Zhen over and whispered, "The third brother didn't want to come before. Look at his appearance. He must have been bewitched by Teacher Jiang!"

However, my roommates had no idea.

Chen Yuan was not confused because Jiang Ning was too beautiful.

It was because of that earring.

Half a year ago, after finishing the painful and long preparation for the exams in his senior year of high school and being away from test papers and mock exams, Chen Yuan, like most students, had a great time throughout the summer vacation.

Apart from going back to his rural hometown and traveling, he spends all his time playing games.

During the process, he met a girl who was both naive and playful.

The two became friends through a game.

At first, they were cursing at each other. Chen Yuan was angry because typing was not fun enough. He pulled the girl into the matchmaking room and questioned her on the microphone:
"Why don't you enlarge that wave?"

It may be that the tone was too harsh, or it may be that the girl had a wrong perception.

She didn't blame Chen Yuan, but was silent for a while and then began to apologize.

The two men established a friendship through this incident, began to serve in the same row, and later added each other's contact information and chatted all night.

Her name is: Yaoyao.

Not only is she very cute, but she also has a quirky personality and is especially good at making people happy.

She would take the initiative to learn the games that Chen Yuan could play, play with him, and share various interesting things in life and the interesting short videos she saw. Knowing that he liked to listen to songs, she recorded good songs and sent them to him, and even learned to play the clip to make Chen Yuan laugh.

"Because I just turned eighteen."

The ambiguous period before a relationship begins is often the most exciting. There is no doubt that both parties are excited about it.

An online romance quickly began.

This is also the reason why Chen Yuan often twists and turns like a maggot in his dormitory at night while holding his mobile phone.

A few days ago, Yaoyao told Chen Yuan that she bought a pair of very beautiful earrings and sent him a photo, but her face was not shown.

But now, in the lecture hall.

Chen Yuan stared at the podium.

Jiang Ning calmly narrated, "The theory of ideal personality in traditional Chinese philosophy has a very important characteristic, which is the transformation of the subjective world..."

She casually raised the pen in her hand, "Our focus is not on the cognition and influence of the external world, but on the inner world, just like this pen, the pursuit of inner ink is far more important than the outer world."

Jiang Ning was walking on the podium, and the swaying earrings made Chen Yuan certain of it.

He turned on his phone, looked down and up, and observed countless times.

Exactly the same...

Is there such a coincidence in the world? Chen Yuan didn't believe it at all. How could it be possible that Lanjing University, where he happened to be admitted, was the place where his online girlfriend taught?

Jiang Ning is so elegant and generous, which is totally inconsistent with Yaoyao.

Maybe they just happened to buy the same pendant.

While Chen Yuan was thinking, Jiang Ning suddenly walked down from the podium and walked straight towards Chen Yuan while speaking.

The "tapping" sound of high heels was particularly pleasant in the silent classroom.

"Classmate, can you lend me your book?" Jiang Ning stretched out her hand. Chen Yuan understood what she meant and handed the book over.

"Let's turn to page 31 and look at the theory of ideal personality—"

The words are not finished yet.

Jiang Ning's voice suddenly stopped, and her eyes were fixed on his hands.

He was wearing a ring.

The reason why Jiang Ning was surprised was that she also had the same ring on her hand.

Both of them focused on each other's hands.

Without the sound of lectures, the classroom fell into complete deathly silence.
