Chapter 6 (2/2)

The ear stud was black, and had an inconspicuous marbling through it. On Fang Zhaomu’s ear, it made his ear lobe look round and exquisite, and not feminine at all.

Fang Zhaomu liked discussing such topics with people, and the two of them immediately starting chatting about the pros and cons of online shops as well as their available discounts.

“I was actually looking at another pair that was slightly bigger, “ Fang Zhaomu touched his earlobe, speaking happily to the female classmate. “My friend helped me select this pair.”

“— Fang Zhaomu, have you finished using this?” The two person’s conversation was interrupted by Zhang Ranyu and Song Yuanxun coming over from another side of the lab.

Zhang Ranyu poked at the apparatus next to Fang Zhaomu, asking rudely, “If you’re done, can we take over?”

With Song Yuanxun behind him, Zhang Ranyu acted as though he had a strong support behind him, and he was like a dog counting on his master’s backing.

Fang Zhaomu looked at the analysis progress, then told Zhang Ranyu, “There’s still 10 more minutes, can you wait awhile?”

The female classmate saw that there seemed to be some unhappiness between them, and found an excuse to leave. Fang Zhaomu lowered his head and looked at his laboratory notebook, not bothering to speak with the two people standing next to him.

With nothing to do, and feeling awkward, Zhang Ranyu wanted to think a way to squeeze Fang Zhaomu out.

He was short and fat, and his presence could be strongly felt. Each time he went closer to Fang Zhaomu, Fang Zhaomu would retreat a little. However, the apparatus was located next to the wall, and after retreating a few steps, Fang Zhaomu had nowhere left to go. Not wanting to give Zhang Ranyu the advantage, he picked up a book and blocked Zhang Ranyu, asking him impatiently, “Why do you keep coming closer?”

“I want to look at the progress of the apparatus.” Zhang Ranyu swatted Fang Zhaomu’s book away, about to lean over to take a look.

Zhang Ranyu was about to lean onto Fang Zhaomu, and Fang Zhaomu was naturally extremely unhappy about it. Just before he could tell Zhang Ranyu to stay away from him, a hand blocked Zhang Ranyu away from him.

Song Yuanxun silently pulled at Zhang Ranyu’s shoulder, and looking down and glancing at him. Zhang Ranyu did not know why Song Yuanxun would suddenly do this, but he still took a step back.

The person closest to Fang Zhaomu was now Song Yuanxun.

Song Yuanxun was tall, and his aura was completely different from Zhang Ranyu. The way he looked down on people would give them a solid oppressive feeling.

Fang Zhaomu only took one look at Song Yuanxun before he looked down. With a quiet, weary voice, he said, “I know you’re in a hurry, I’ll let you guys use it immediately once I’m done, ok? Do you have to do this?”

Song Yuanxun remained silent, standing next to Fang Zhaomu for a few seconds, he then retreated, but did not go far. In the past, Song Yuanxun would never bother to take even a glance at Fang Zhaomu, making it very clear that he looked down on him. Today, he seemed to have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, his eyes were glued to Fang Zhaomu, causing Fang Zhaomu’s skin to prickle in discomfort.

Fortunately, the apparatus soon announced that the analysis was completed. Fang Zhaomu copied down the data, reset the apparatus, and walked off in a hurry. When he looked up, his eyes swept past Song Yuanxun, and he felt that Song Yuanxun seemed to be looking at his ear studs.

Walking out of the doors of the lab, Fang Zhaomu sighed in relief. His phone in his pocket vibrated, and he took it out to look at it. It was Andrew’s reply.

“Your face can’t be seen clearly.”

Fang Zhaomu was walking, and panted slightly as he replied Andrew. “I was taking a photo of the ear stud, I wasn’t aiming at my face in the first place.”

He suddenly understood what Andrew meant, and asked, “You want to see my face? But you don’t even want to meet up with me, what’s the point of seeing my face?”

Reaching the school gate, Andrew sent him a reply. “I’m busy with work.”

“Oh?” Fang Zhaomu teased him, “But I’m also busy with school, how would I have the time to take a photo for you?”

When he finished, he shivered, feeling the chill of the wind. Putting his phone back in his pocket, he gathered his clothes tightly around him.
