Lin Yu was too lazy to say anything to him.

The two of them walked out together after class at noon.

They even saw the poor brothers who had been beaten up with Yan Shi by Xie Xiao yesterday.

The group still had fire in their eyes when they saw Xie Xiao but got glared at by Lin Yu.

One of them, who was particularly hot-tempered, obviously wanted to say something but got pulled back by someone next to him.

Their self-criticism hadn't been finished yet, and they didn't want to get beaten up and have to write another one.

Yesterday, Xie Xiao couldn't beat even one, let alone today with Lin Yu added to the mix.

In the end, they could only rage powerlessly in place.

Lin Yu remembered what he had heard that morning, "What's going on with you? Didn't you say you won't start fights at school?"

"Ah, someone was asking for it. I couldn't hold back. I was in a bad mood anyway, and if I hadn't fought back, I would've been hit."

Xie Xiao, hanging on him, said, "Slept late last night, and now I'm actually a bit tired?"

Lin Yu, hearing that he clearly didn't want to talk about it, didn't press further. He guessed Xie Xiao hadn't suffered, but he couldn't help but tease, "Why did you sleep late? Were you watching some livestream? I told you..."

Xie Xiao, exasperated, "It's not fair, man. Isn't it because of you that I slept late?"

A passing young girl's eyes lit up as she glanced at them.

Xie Xiao cursed silently in his heart. He had been careless and forgotten that he and Lin Yu were known as a 'CP' pair.

Lin Yu, oblivious, responded with an "Oh", "Did you return too late last night? You're really spent, huh?"

As they passed a vending machine, "Want something to drink?"

Xie Xiao pulled out his phone and scanned, "I'll have a Coke. What about you?"

Lin Yu, holding his phone, glanced at him and quietly curled his lips, "Then I'll also take a Coke. Shall I treat you to a meal later?"

Xie Xiao exaggeratedly said, "Is there such a good deal? Does that mean I don't have to pay you back for those meals I owe you?"

"Dream on! It's your treat!"

The minds of young men are always more sensitive, but Lin Yu, watching his buddy, felt like those sensitive, little thoughts didn't matter.

As long as he didn't deliberately magnify them, everything was still the same as before.

When they arrived, Luo Yanran and her group were already there and at the front of the line.

Liu Ou waved at them.

Luo Yanran also looked over.

Xie Xiao smiled and waved back, then lined up behind Lin Yu.

They didn't try to cut in line, and those who initially looked upset in line couldn't help but glance at them a few times.

After Liu Ou and her group got their food, they passed by Xie Xiao and said, "We'll look for seats. Take your time, but I guess there won't be any sweet and sour ribs left."

Xie Xiao glanced at their bowls.

Luo Yanran, looking at him, said in a low voice, "I got two servings."

Xie Xiao smiled.

Liu Ou clicked her tongue, "Got it, we're going to find seats."

Only after they had walked away did Xie Xiao look away.

Lin Yu clicked his tongue a few times then asked, "I wanted to ask this earlier. What's with your hand?"

Xie Xiao lifted his hand and glanced at it, still with the pink band-aid on, "It's nothing. Just scraped it during the fight yesterday."

Lin Yu: ...

He took a deep breath, "Don't you think that little scrape would have healed by today if you hadn't bothered with it?"

"But someone will feel sorry for me. Does it look good?" Xie Xiao extended his hand towards him. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lin Yu rolled his eyes enormously, knowing this guy did it on purpose. Who needs to eat rice?

They've had their fill of dog food!

Xie Xiao was pleased with his own show-off.

After getting their meals, they found Luo Yanran and the others at the back of the cafeteria.

Their school cafeteria was pretty decent, except for lacking air conditioning.

In summer, it could be unbearable.

The weather had already started to warm up slightly, especially because the cafeteria was crowded, making it even hotter.

Luo Yanran had taken off her school jacket, revealing a white T-shirt underneath with a big letter "X" on the front.

Well, because it was irregular, it was hard to say whether it was the letter "X" or a "cross" meant for correctness.

Xie Xiao simply assumed it was the letter.

Liu Ou waved at them and signaled them to sit down before saying, "The cafeteria is really crowded today."

Xie Xiao added, "Isn't everyone here for the sweet and sour ribs? Feels like it's become a school attraction."

As he was talking, Luo Yanran began transferring the untouched ribs from her bowl into his.

Liu Ou noticed and tske-tsked a few times, "Haven't even moved your chopsticks yet, were just waiting to serve him ribs, huh?"

"Here's one for you, talk less, please," Luo Yanran put a rib in her bowl too, her tone reluctant.

But Liu Ou still noticed the change - shouldn't Luo Yan have been annoyed by now?

Why didn't she seem angry at all now?

Her gaze circled around the two, sensing something amiss.

Yet Xie Xiao laughed and said, "Enough, you could've eaten first, I wouldn't mind."

Lin Yu reached out to take some of his food right then and Xie Xiao quickly grabbed his hand, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you didn't mind?" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow in response.

Xie Xiao clicked his tongue, "But I wasn't talking about you."

Liu Ou and Lin Yu both uttered an 'oh' in unison.

A slight smile curled on Luo Yanran's lips as she looked up to meet Xie Xiao's smiling gaze.

Lin Yu and Liu Ou from the side tske-tsked attempting to tease.

Luo Yanran felt like summer was about to arrive.

She felt a bit hot, particularly noticeable on her face.

But this feeling didn't bother her; she even looked forward to the summer arriving soon.

Because after June, she might possess a treasure that belonged exclusively to her.

After the meal, Liu Ou smartly pulled Lin Yu along to go buy snacks on sale.

Lin Yu was just about to say that the supermarket didn't have snacks on sale every day!

But before he could speak, her look stopped him and he surprisingly understood her hint.

And so, he followed her.

Xie Xiao watched their departing figures and commented, "Lacking some understanding there."

Luo Yanran nodded, "Liu Ou's always been like that, however she thinks, she acts."

"Liu Ou elder sister has a great personality," Xie Xiao remarked wistfully.

Then, the girl who had been walking beside him stopped in her tracks.

Slightly surprised, Xie Xiao looked towards her, meeting her inscrutable eyes, "Liu Ou's personality is indeed very good."

Although she repeated Xie Xiao's words without any emotions, Xie Xiao suddenly heard something in them.

He couldn't help but smile, "But I still prefer Little Luo teacher's personality, very cute."

The girl who had been staring at him abruptly turned her gaze away, seeming a bit unnatural, "Don't you find it uncomfortable?"

Xie Xiao shook his head, "Not at all, it's adorable, I really like it."

He paused for a moment, seriously looked at Luo Yanran whose lips slightly curved up, then slowly spoke, "So, was Little Luo teacher feeling jealous because I complimented Liu Ou elder sister?"

The face of the girl in front of him started to flush.
