Xiu Gou's Taming Record

Chapter 130 I Want You

On Monday, Yu Heng came to Qin Lu's office.

He pushed the door open and went in. She heard the noise, looked up, and squinted her eyes: "Why are you here again?"

"I missed you." Yu Heng closed the door behind him. "I came to see you."

"Come on," Qin Lu continued typing, "I just finished a meeting this morning, I have a lot of things to do."

Yu Heng walked up behind her and put his hand on her shoulder: "Isn't the welcome party coming up soon?"

"This Friday," Qin Lu said, "what's wrong?"

"Starlight Society wants to be on a TV show." Yu Heng's hand slid from her shoulder to the back of her neck, "and do some publicity while we're at it."

Qin Lu stiffened for a moment: "That's the responsibility of the Arts and Literature Department. The program selection process started a long time ago, and it's almost finalized now."

"That's why I came to you," Yu Heng bent down, his lips close to her ear, "Teacher Qin, please help me."

"Stop messing around..." The hot breath on her ear made Qin Lu shrink back. "This is really difficult to handle."

"What's so difficult about it?" Yu Heng's hand slid down and stopped at his waist. "It's just adding a program, it's not like you're asking me to remove someone else's."

"You make it sound so easy," Qin Lu said, grabbing his hand. "The timing is all planned out."

"The program schedule isn't finalized yet," Yu Heng said, nibbling her earlobe. "Teacher, you're the best, please help me out."

"Ugh!" Qin Lu couldn't sit still any longer. "Why are you like this today! It's so cheesy!"

Yu Heng pressed his knuckles against her side: "Is this okay?"

"Ouch!" Qin Lu steadied herself on the table. "You...you really owe me one!"

Yu Heng released his grip, stood up straight, and looked at her.

Qin Lu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and glanced at the computer screen: "I'll go ask the student council... but I can't guarantee it will work."

"Thank you, teacher." Yu Heng leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

Qin Lu was taken aback. When she came to her senses, Yu Heng had already straightened up and walked towards the door.

The door closed behind her. Qin Lu raised her hand and wiped the spot where she had just been kissed with the back of her hand. Her face felt a little hot, and she muttered under her breath, "You little rascal."

She suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, so she unbuttoned the top button of her shirt and took a breath.

Seriously... she's getting more and more responsive.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have such girlish thoughts anymore, but when Yu Heng kissed her cheek just now, her heart skipped a beat, something she had never experienced when she was dating Lin Liyan.

She picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and found the WeChat account of the arts and culture minister of the student union.

She paused on the screen for a few seconds, then began typing: "Liu Ming, I have something I'd like to ask you..."

-

Yu Heng had arranged to have lunch with Shen Yueling at the cafeteria. He waited at the entrance for five or six minutes before he saw Shen Yueling walking over from the tree-lined path.

Just as Yu Heng was about to raise his hand to greet her, he noticed that there was another person following behind her.

Ning Yutong jogged a few steps to catch up and walked alongside Shen Yueling. When she saw Yu Heng, her eyes lit up, and she waved to him.

When the two approached, he looked at Shen Yueling and asked, "You've arrived?"

"Mm," Shen Yueling responded.

Ning Yutong leaned closer, her eyes scanning Yu Heng's feet: "How's your foot? Can you walk now?"

"That's about it." Yu Heng turned and walked into the cafeteria. "It was just a sprain, it's not like it's broken."

The three of them walked up to the second floor. The stairs were crowded. Ning Yutong walked in front, Shen Yueling followed behind him, and Yu Heng slowed down.

Upon reaching the corner, Yu Heng turned aside, waiting for Shen Yueling to catch up, and lowered his voice: "Why did you come with her?"

Shen Yueling looked up at him, her expression unchanged: "Yutong has been worried about you these past few days."

"Aren't you worried about me?" Yu Heng asked.

"You're not going to die," Shen Yueling looked away. "What's there to worry about?"

The three of them got their food and sat down at a table by the window.

Ning Yutong put the plate down and looked up at Yu Heng: "Are you sure your foot is okay?"

"I'm really fine now," Yu Heng said, picking up a piece of potato. "I can run and jump again."

Shen Yueling lowered her head and ate without saying a word.

"By the way, Yu Heng," Ning Yutong bit her chopsticks, "isn't your birthday coming up soon?"

Yu Heng paused, his hand still holding the food, and looked up: "Birthday?"

"Yes," Ning Yutong's eyes crinkled into a smile, "Isn't your birthday the eighth day of the tenth lunar month?"

Yu Heng narrowed his eyes and put down his chopsticks: "It seems like we're almost there... I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."

He took out his phone and opened the calendar.

My finger is swiping across the screen... I haven't found a specific date yet.

"It's the 15th on the Gregorian calendar," Ning Yutong's voice came softly, "Three more days."

Yu Heng's fingers stopped. It really was true.

He looked up at Ning Yutong: "How do you remember this so clearly?"

Ning Yutong blushed slightly, lowered her head and took a bite of rice: "I... just remember."

Shen Yueling raised her eyes, looked at Yu Heng, and then at Ning Yutong.

Her birthday is only seven days apart from Yu Heng's, on the 22nd, but they usually celebrate together on Shen Yueling's birthday.

"My nineteenth birthday is the most special," Ning Yutong said, looking up with bright eyes, "because it falls on the same day in both the Gregorian and Lunar calendars and the year I was born, which only happens once every nineteen years."

"It is quite special," Yu Heng said casually, "but it's just a birthday, it doesn't matter whether you celebrate it or not."

"That won't do!" Ning Yutong raised her voice a little. "Nineteen years old, that's very important."

Shen Yueling put down her chopsticks and took a tissue to wipe her mouth.

"How do you want to live?" Shen Yueling suddenly asked, looking at Yu Heng.

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow: "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Think about it now," Shen Yueling said.

"We'll see, there are still three days left," Yu Heng said, picking up his chopsticks again.

"Is there anything you're lacking lately?" Shen Yueling asked.

Yu Heng looked at her: "What are you missing?"

"A birthday present," Shen Yueling looked at him, "What do you want?"

"No need to send me off," Yu Heng grinned. "A meal will suffice."

"That won't do," Ning Yutong shook her head, "I must have a birthday present."

Yu Heng smiled: "Okay, then you can decide what to send. I'll like whatever you send."

After finishing her meal, Ning Yutong checked the time and said, "I have classes this afternoon, so I'll go back to my dorm for a nap."

Ning Yutong left, leaving only Heng and Shen Yueling on the table.

Shen Yueling slowly sipped her soup, then spoke again after a while: "What are you planning to do?"

"How else can we celebrate?" Yu Heng looked at her. "Didn't we always have a meal together on your birthday before?"

"Isn't this year special?" Shen Yueling put down her soup bowl. "It only happens once every nineteen years."

"Haha!" Yu Heng chuckled. "Are you jealous of Yutong again? Then why did you invite her over?"

"I'm not jealous!" Shen Yueling frowned. "Quickly, tell me, is there anything you want?"

"Yes, there has always been," Yu Heng said with a smile. "Didn't you already know that?"

"What is it?" Shen Yueling raised an eyebrow.

"You," Yu Heng looked at her, "I want you."
