Shen yu

Shen Yu's heart raced as Mo Jun approached her, an unexpected wave of anxiety washing over her. Unsure of how to react, her instincts urged her to flee, to escape the impending encounter. Without a second thought, she swiftly turned on her heels, a hurried escape from the unfolding awkwardness.

Mo Jun, witnessing Shen Yu's sudden retreat, couldn't help but find the situation strangely amusing. His mind danced between amusement and introspection, recalling the camaraderie they had shared until just yesterday. "She talked to me, hugged me, and fought for me. We were friends. And now, she's running like she's encountered a fearsome devil," he mused inwardly, a wry smile playing on his lips.

On the other side of this social labyrinth, Shen Yu navigated the corridors of her thoughts, wrestling with the revelation that Mo Jun, Mr. Silent of the computer science branch, was now privy to her secret crush. The initial surge of embarrassment gave way to a more pragmatic resolution—first, attend classes and, perhaps, unravel the complexities of her emotions later.

As Shen Yu entered the classroom and settled into the second row, choosing the second bench, she found solace in the temporary sanctuary of academia. Her plan was simple: engage in the sanctuary of lectures, postpone the unraveling of emotions until a more opportune moment.

Yet, fate had its own plans. Mo Jun, breaking the stereotype of his silent demeanor, entered the classroom a few minutes later and chose the seat right next to her. Shen Yu's surprise was palpable, a fleeting moment of disorientation before the reality of the situation settled in.

Caught in a whirlwind of emotions, Shen Yu couldn't resist expressing her bewilderment. Unconsciously, she made a series of comical faces, each contortion of her features telling a silent tale of surprise and confusion. Mo Jun, observing her antics, felt an unexpected amusement bubbling within. The contrast between Shen Yu's internal turmoil and her external theatrics painted a humorous tableau, bridging the gap between the enigmatic Mr. Silent and the now-bemused companion.

The classroom, once a haven of scholarly pursuits, transformed into a stage for the unscripted comedy of human interactions, leaving both Shen Yu and Mo Jun entangled in a web of unexpected amusement and unspoken sentiments.

As Mo Jun inched closer to Shen Yu, the proximity between them reduced to a mere inch. Shen Yu's ears turned a shade of crimson, a clear indication of her internal tumult. Concern etched across his face, Mo Jun questioned, "What happened? Why are you behaving so weird? Is everything okay?" With genuine worry, he extended a hand to touch Shen Yu's forehead, checking for any signs of distress. To his relief, her temperature was normal.

In the midst of this seemingly ordinary gesture, Shen Yu's mind raced with a myriad of thoughts. "Oh God, my crush is sitting next to me, touching my forehead. He knows I'm a tomboy. What should I say? If I had the chance, I should go back and erase all his memories. Now, my crush is my best friend. I talk to him, ask him what kind of girl he likes, and then let him like me. I know now he is my friend; later, he will be my…" Her unfinished thoughts lingered in the realm of possibilities.

The moment of closeness was interrupted as Mo Jun distanced himself abruptly, his attention diverted by the entrance of Mr. Lin, the lecturer for the day. Mr. Lin, an authority on cloud computing and advanced Java, stepped into the class, a palpable shift in focus.

While the lecture unfolded, Shen Yu found it challenging to concentrate, her gaze repeatedly drawn to Mo Jun. Mr. Lin, observant of the diversion, decided to redirect her attention. "What is the application of cloud computing?" he queried, catching her off guard. Shen Yu, momentarily lost in her musings, took a minute to compose herself before answering enthusiastically.

"Cloud service providers offer a wide range of applications such as art, business, data storage and backup services, education, entertainment, management, social networking, and more."

Mr. Lin, impressed with her response, threw another question her way, "What is cloud computing?" Shen Yu responded with clarity, defining cloud computing as the delivery of computing services over the internet, encompassing servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence. The words flowed effortlessly from her, a testament to her knowledge on the subject.

Mr. Lin, acknowledging her proficiency, quipped in a light-hearted tone, "Without listening to the class, you answered questions very well. But you should concentrate on the class, not on the boy who sits next to you." The classroom erupted in laughter, with Shen Yu feeling a momentary pang of embarrassment. However, Mo Jun remained silent, a steadfast companion in the midst of the class's amusement, his quiet presence offering a reassuring anchor in the sea of laughter.
