Bro, Don't Study Anymore - Chapter 28

7/26

“Okay, wait for our notification.”

Xiao Tang sent off the last interviewee and slumped into his chair, completely drained.

To his left was Lin, a girl from their department, and to his right was Su, a guy. The three of them were the new department heads.

Lin organized the interview forms, capped her pen, and sighed with relief, “Finally, the interviews are done.”

Su turned sideways, spinning a pen in one hand, his expression also relaxed.

Their department was recruiting new students, and the interviews were handled by the department heads.

The three of them were new and had little experience, so they pestered the previous heads until they came out of “retirement” to help with the interviews.

Senior Zhao wasn’t really paying attention, slacking off in the back and giving few comments, not pointing out specific people: “Having some high school experience is a bonus, and being a bit outgoing would make the department atmosphere better.”

Hearing this, Lin pulled out a few interview forms and added them to the top of the pile.

Xiao Tang also had a few forms in front of him. He flipped through them, noted down a few names, and handed them to Lin.

Su said, “Great, in freshman year we rely on the seniors, in sophomore year we rely on the juniors, awesome!”

The senior in charge of department photography, sitting behind him, slapped Su on the shoulder: “Is that how you’re passing on the legacy, huh?”

The senior had been lifting weights for years, and his hand was incredibly strong. Su clutched his shoulder, jokingly acting hurt, “I was wrong, bro. I’ll work hard like a horse.”

“Hahaha…”

Xiao Tang slumped further, “We’ve really become university livestock.”

Senior Zhao gloated, “Don’t worry, after this busy period, you’ll find there are many more busy periods to come.”

Lin sighed helplessly again, “Thanks, senior, not comforting at all.”

Xiao Tang pretended to sniff, “I feel like we already smell like a class now.”

Su suddenly laughed, thinking of something.

He said, “How can I, with my class smell, dare to touch a phone that smells like games?”

The senior laughed and scolded, “Keep acting.”

The interview venue was an empty classroom they had booked. Senior Song came to pick them up right after his lab work.

When he arrived, the interviews weren’t over yet, so he waited outside.

As soon as Xiao Tang came out, he saw a shadow sitting on the steps, playing games on a phone.

“…”

They chatted, and the hallway lights came on. Senior Song stood up and walked over, putting an arm around Xiao Tang’s shoulder, pulling him closer.

They lagged a few steps behind.

“All done?”

“Yeah, got a rough idea,” Xiao Tang moved closer to him, “Still need to finalize the list.”

“Alright…”

At the fork in the road, Su didn’t turn around, just called out, “We’re heading out.”

“Bye, bye.”

After parting ways, Senior Song led Xiao Tang away, not towards the dorms, but towards Lover’s Slope where they passed yesterday.

“…Where are we going?” Xiao Tang struggled.

Senior Song glanced at him, suppressing his movements, “You forgot the message you sent me an hour ago.”

“Forgot!”

“I didn’t forget. Taking you to practice.” Senior Song’s tone was teasing.

Xiao Tang: “…Bro, I’ll be good. Can we not go? I still have physics homework.”

“Already behaving just from not kissing? I don’t believe it.”

“…”

Regretting being kissed for so long, Xiao Tang thought he should never have mentioned wanting to kiss. He glared, “You even bit my ear red!”

The person being glared at looked relaxed, “Hmm? Want it symmetrical?”

Xiao Tang instinctively covered his ears, “…No, thanks.”
