"Central Banking", "World Political Economy"...
A pile of books lay on the table. Ding Ruola looked at Fang Siyan with a puzzled face.
"You read these kinds of books?"
Fang Siyan picked up a book helplessly, flipped through it briefly, and then gently tapped Ding Ruola on the head.
"If you don't like reading them, I can give them to someone else."
So all these books were given to her by Fang Siyan. Ding Ruola didn't know whether she should be happy or troubled looking at these books.
The school curriculum was similar to what Fang Siyan had arranged, but the publishers of the books were different.
"I can teach you all this basic knowledge. You can ask me anything."
With a top - notch economics professor like Professor Fang at home, it would be a waste not to make good use of him.
Fang Siyan stared at Ding Ruola. He knew what the little imp was scheming in her mind when he saw the girl biting her lips and looking hesitant.
"In this way, we'll also have more time to be together."
The prospect of spending time together was quite appealing, but Ding Ruola remained unmoved.
Seeing that the girl still showed no reaction, Fang Siyan, who had been standing aside, felt a bit anxious.
He sat down beside Ding Ruola, reached out and stroked her face. The tender and smooth touch was really addictive.
The tangle in the girl's eyes made Fang Siyan feel self - reproachful.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. These books are easy to understand. The professional terms are all explained in plain language."
"Old Fang, if I want to catch up with you, I should speed up my own pace, not ask you to stop and wait for me."
Fang Siyan naturally didn't know that his concern had put too much pressure on Ding Ruola.
Excessive concern leads to confusion.
"I'll read them on my own. You don't need to accompany me."
Ding Ruola suddenly stood up, held Fang Siyan's face and kissed him randomly, then hugged him tightly for a while.
She carried the books back to her room alone.
Fang Siyan sat on the sofa alone, in a daze.
He thought Ding Ruola had been overly sensitive recently. Why did she suddenly take this matter so seriously? It was as if she was eager to prove herself to someone.
In Ding Ruola's room, there were nothing but a laptop, a sketchbook and books. The books that had been lying on the table for a long time were all about design before, but recently they had been replaced by financial ones.
She put the books Fang Siyan gave her on one side of the desk and found the book that Song He had been talking about recently.
This book was really as simple as Fang Siyan said. Many professional terms in it had detailed explanations, unlike the textbooks from school, which used professional terms to explain other professional terms.
Combined with Ning Qing's notes, the book that used to be so confusing to her now made perfect sense.
Ding Ruola didn't go home these days. She spent all her time at school.
During her spare time, she stayed in the library, referring to Ning Qing's notes while reading.
She also stayed in the library during evening self - study. Bi Shuang had nothing to do, so she went to the library to accompany Ding Ruola.
"Don't talk to me. You ignore me during the day and ignore me at night too."
On the way back to the dormitory after leaving the library, Bi Shuang shook Ding Ruola's hand and complained helplessly.
Indeed! The campus was only so big. You couldn't meet the people you wanted to see, but you couldn't avoid the people you didn't want to see, and you even ran into them during meal times.
The main dish in the cafeteria on Thursday noon was crispy pork strips. The chef's cooking was really good, so many people queued up early.
Ding Ruola was in the queue, always looking down at her phone. She was reading the answers of various experts on Zhihu.
Before she had read much, she heard a familiar voice.
Su Man?
The girl was standing behind Ding Ruola. "Senior Mei is already working in a very powerful studio."
The girls around Su Man were just like hecklers. They all said words of praise and showed looks of disbelief on their faces.
Ding Ruola clicked her tongue and continued to look at her phone. Suddenly, she felt someone touch her shoulder.
"Classmate, it's your turn."
Only then did she notice that she was already in front of the food counter.
She ordered a serving of crispy pork strips and a few vegetarian dishes, then left and found a corner to sit down.
She had only taken a few bites when Mei Xuejian sat down beside her.
Mei Xuejian's expression suggested that things were not that simple.
Ding Ruola pursed her lips. "Don't bring those little princesses here."
As soon as she finished speaking, before she even had time to close her mouth, the girls appeared.
"Are you only good at seducing men?"
Ding Ruola looked up and saw Su Man standing in front of them arrogantly.
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Mei Xuejian. The man was winking and making faces.
Seeing the intimate look between the two, Su Man was furious.
She originally thought that, just as Shi Zhi had said, the two were just ordinary classmates, but now it seemed that she had been kept in the dark.
Su Man naturally wouldn't back down. She swaggered over and sat down in front of Ding Ruola.
Mei Xuejian continued to lower his head and eat obediently.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was really strange!
It wasn't like she was full, but Ding Ruola felt like she had been killed several times by Su Man's looks.
She sighed deeply, packed up the books on her desk. She had already previewed them almost. Then she saw Ning Qing's notes.
"Look at my memory. How could I forget to thank Ning Qing?"
She clenched her fist and gently tapped her head.
[Thank you, Ning Shen. When will you come back to China? I'll treat you to dinner!]
Ning Qing should be busy at this time. Ding Ruola thought she wouldn't reply quickly, but unexpectedly, Ning Shen replied instantly.
[Ning Shen: Well! No need to thank me. I hope you'll remember about the dinner.]
The two chatted casually for a few words, then Ding Ruola went to bed.
Ding Ruola got up very early. It was Song He's class again.
After a class, Song He always left fifteen minutes for free discussion.
Ding Ruola took the questions she had sorted out to Song He.
Song He looked at Ding Ruola, then at the questions.
"Su Man!"
As soon as Song He called Su Man, the whole classroom fell silent.
Su Man came to Song He's side. She glanced at Ding Ruola disdainfully and stared at the questions on the paper.
"Always asking such simple questions. Do you look down on me or think little of Ding's IQ?"
As soon as Su Man said this, the whole class burst into laughter.
When did asking questions out of a thirst for knowledge become something to be laughed at?
Ding Ruola was so ashamed that her face turned red. She lowered her head shyly and didn't dare to look at the people below the podium.
Her ears were filled with the laughter of boys and girls.
She thought she was on the right track, but unexpectedly, she derailed just after taking a few steps.
"Okay! Class is over."
There were no more classes after this. Song He asked Ding Ruola to stay.
"I'll give you some materials. Go back and take a look."
Song He wasn't that unreasonable. Ding Ruola carefully transferred the materials to her USB flash drive.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Song He snorted. "I can see your efforts."
