Fat Chance

Yin Shixiong turned right from Cambridge Street and entered the Harvard University campus. He walked north, along Massachusetts Avenue, to Harvard Law School, where Gu Nianzhi was having her classes.

He walked around the building housing the law department. The instrument in his backpack made no noise, indicating that there was nothing out of the ordinary here.

Unlike science students who had to rely on specific equipment and instruments, the students at Harvard Law School worked only with their brain and ready wit.

Yin Shixiong stood in the avenue near Harvard Law School and took a few selfies with his phone, angling his shots to get a perfect 360 record of the surroundings.

The place was inundated with similar selfie-takers, obnoxiously waving their selfie sticks about. Yin Shixiong, with his unassuming clothes and plebeian approach to taking selfies, had not caught up with the latest selfie trends.
