The school Library.

Lu Xiaobei: "Why?"

"What's their surname then?" Xiaoya changed her question.

Xiang Yi placed her bag on the chair facing Mo Yichen, saying, "My family's still working on her questions, so you can go accompany your family back."

After Mo Yichen entered through the window, she hung her bag on the back of a chair.

But Mo Yichen still gave a shaken head in return.

On the way back, Xiaoya, noticing a bench, asked, "Captain, do you want to rest for a little while?"

When someone dotes on her, Xiaoya couldn't stop herself from becoming weak. So, with a stuffy tone, Xiaoya sad to her, "You talk as though you know me pretty well."

"How does Mr. Nan even know about you two?" Xiaoya asked.

"Mr. Nan didn't just mention you, he also mentioned Xiang Yi." Mo Yichen then added, "She placed outside the top thirty of her year in the monthly exams. Mr. Nan said that although Xiang Yi is a sophomore, if I'm with her, there's nothing I could learn from her and it would be easy for me to pick up bad habits instead."

Without lifting her head, Xiaoya said to her, "What took you so long? I finished most of my papers already." It was Saturday, so the school only had classes for half the day and the library was also closed. Which was why Xiaoya and Mo Yichen had planned on meeting up there after class was done.

Mo Yichen: "You know him that well..."

"Who?" Xiaoya asked.

Perhaps it was due to the people around her treating her too kindly, because Xiaoya had now developed a bit of a temper.

Seeing Mo Yichen didn't seem to understand, Xiaoya explained: "My sixth sense made me realise he looked at me differently. There was a girl in the class next door to ours who liked bumping into to me when she had nothing better to do. It wasn't really malicious, but it wasn't due to good intentions either. She seemed to just do it as a joke. That girl also happened to be his classmate from junior high. One time he saw it happen and tapped her on the head then told her 'stop playing around'."

On the way back, Xiaoya, noticing a bench, asked, "Captain, do you want to rest for a little while?"

Mo Yichen was on clean up duty that day, so she needed to clean up the class before leaving. As a result, Xiaoya left for the library first, thinking Mo Yichen would take ten minutes at most, never expecting her to be delayed for nearly an hour.

But Mi Yichen shook her head.

"Why? Is it because I'm not good looking? Because no one would ever like someone like me???"

Xiaoya stared at Lu Xiaobei, replying seriously, "If it was the previous semester, I would've wanted to change my homeroom teacher, without any doubt. But now it's different, because I have you, as well as Yichen, so I'm no longer alone. More than an entire term has already passed by now, so if there was a changing in our teachers, many students wouldn't be able to adapt and that could affect their performance during exams."

"It doesn't matter who it is, it has nothing to do with me." Xiaoya had no idea at all the truth she had just missed, as she then went on to add, "No come on, we have to get back to these questions because there's only a half hour before Captain and Xiang Yi classes are finished. There's a lot of people who won't pass the monthly exams this time around, and will strive to make a little progress next time around.

Mo Yichen: "It was nothing. Mr. Nan had something to discuss with me."

Xiaoya stared at Lu Xiaobei, replying seriously, "If it was the previous semester, I would've wanted to change my homeroom teacher, without any doubt. But now it's different, because I have you, as well as Yichen, so I'm no longer alone. More than an entire term has already passed by now, so if there was a changing in our teachers, many students wouldn't be able to adapt and that could affect their performance during exams."

Flirting~

"Captain, you guy's made it!" Hearing the window close, Xiaoya turned back to see Lu Xiaobei and Xiang Yi walking over.

Xiaoya was shocked, asking, "You said so directly? Normally wouldn't you just make a false promise to the teacher then just keep your true intentions hidden if the worst comes to worst?"

The pen Xiaoya was writing with stopped mid sentence, with her then asking, "Mr. Nan had something to discuss with you?"

"It doesn't matter who it is, it has nothing to do with me." Xiaoya had no idea at all the truth she had just missed, as she then went on to add, "No come on, we have to get back to these questions because there's only a half hour before Captain and Xiang Yi classes are finished. There's a lot of people who won't pass the monthly exams this time around, and will strive to make a little progress next time around.

Mo Yichen: "He wanted to ask me if I wanted to be a member of the class committee. After Wang Jianjun transferred there was an empty spot on the committee. He also told me the names of a few other students, all of them girls who had good grades in the class, then asked me to keep in contact with them even after class to study and whatnot. It look as though everyone in the class will be divided in the future and it's likely I'll be sectioned off with them."

"Actually, it's because I know there's a classmate of ours who likes you." Mo Yichen said in an attempt to coax her.

N/A

Seeing Mo Yichen didn't seem to understand, Xiaoya explained: "My sixth sense made me realise he looked at me differently. There was a girl in the class next door to ours who liked bumping into to me when she had nothing better to do. It wasn't really malicious, but it wasn't due to good intentions either. She seemed to just do it as a joke. That girl also happened to be his classmate from junior high. One time he saw it happen and tapped her on the head then told her 'stop playing around'."

After hearing this, Xiaoya stated directly: "And also so you can stay far away from me, so you won't be influenced by someone like me, right?"

"Is their surname Han?" Xiaoya asked.

◈◇◈

Mo Yichen remained silent upon hearing her before asking, "How'd you know?"

Xiao then continued, "There's been a lot of small incidents like that, but when you put them all together it's no coincidence."

Xiaoya's tone was a bit softer now as she explained, "The girl sitting in front of me was crying with her head down on her desk couple days ago. She said she and her friend was asked to keep their distance from her, saying that two people who hung out together would naturally influence one another. Also that the placements exams at the end of the term will be here soon, so they also needed to focus on their studies."

Mo Yichen: "You don't have to say it like that."

Without lifting her head, Xiaoya said to her, "What took you so long? I finished most of my papers already." It was Saturday, so the school only had classes for half the day and the library was also closed. Which was why Xiaoya and Mo Yichen had planned on meeting up there after class was done.

◈◇◈

The more Xiaoya spoke, the angrier she became, adding, "Before, couples were the ones broken up, using the words 'it'll affect their studies'. But now, even close friendships aren't spared?"

"I was a little curious too." Mo Yichen stated, causing confusion to appear in Xiaoya's eyes so she continued, "But... not about him."

Mo Yichen then interjected: "I refused. I refused joining the student committee and making friends with them."

After Xiaoya returned home, she entered to hear her mother call out "you studied hard today so I made you some soup".

Xiao then continued, "There's been a lot of small incidents like that, but when you put them all together it's no coincidence."

"Mr. Nan didn't just mention you, he also mentioned Xiang Yi." Mo Yichen then added, "She placed outside the top thirty of her year in the monthly exams. Mr. Nan said that although Xiang Yi is a sophomore, if I'm with her, there's nothing I could learn from her and it would be easy for me to pick up bad habits instead."

Xiaoya was shocked, asking, "You said so directly? Normally wouldn't you just make a false promise to the teacher then just keep your true intentions hidden if the worst comes to worst?"

On the way back, Xiaoya, noticing a bench, asked, "Captain, do you want to rest for a little while?"

Xiaoya gently broke away from Mo Yichen's hold, saying, "You can never, ever, let your boyfriend know then. He doesn't even agree to let you add one person on QQ, let alone you an I being so close. When that time comes, I would've won against Mr. Nan but end up losing to your boyfriend. It's not worth it."

But Lu Xiaobei replied, "I've been sitting all day, I don;t want to sit down any more." She then touched her throat and added, "My throat was active non-stop during the mobilisation meeting. So how about you talk, alright? Did anything interesting happen in your class today?"

Without lifting her head, Xiaoya said to her, "What took you so long? I finished most of my papers already." It was Saturday, so the school only had classes for half the day and the library was also closed. Which was why Xiaoya and Mo Yichen had planned on meeting up there after class was done.

"How does Mr. Nan even know about you two?" Xiaoya asked.

Perhaps it was due to the people around her treating her too kindly, because Xiaoya had now developed a bit of a temper.

"Today was the mobilisation meeting before the college entrance exams, so it ran late. We couldn't send any messages from the auditorium either." Lu Xiaobei then looked at her watch then said to Xiang Yi, "It's getting late, so I'll take Xiaoya back home."

"Can I at least get an initial?" Xiaoya tried again.

"What's their surname then?" Xiaoya changed her question.

"How does Mr. Nan even know about you two?" Xiaoya asked.

"Captain, you guy's made it!" Hearing the window close, Xiaoya turned back to see Lu Xiaobei and Xiang Yi walking over.

"Is their surname Han?" Xiaoya asked.

The pen Xiaoya was writing with stopped mid sentence, with her then asking, "Mr. Nan had something to discuss with you?"

Xiaoya's emotions came as quickly as they left, so she now turned her head to stare at the sky beyond the library's window, rolling her eyes.

After Mo Yichen entered through the window, she hung her bag on the back of a chair.

"When Xiang Yi and I went to a karaoke place once and ran into him there."

Xiaoya's emotions came as quickly as they left, so she now turned her head to stare at the sky beyond the library's window, rolling her eyes.

N/A

"Mr. Nan and the homeroom teacher from the class next door broke up two couples. Our class still has a couple stronger than gold, so he's currently working hard. The boy said that after he fell in love, he was even more motivated. Right now, he is ranked first in our grade."

Lu Xiaobei: "Why?"

Lu Xiaobei: "Why?"

Xiang Yi's singing ability was top tier. Every time there was a music festival at the school, her solo performance would be left for the grand finale. So, at the school, Xiang Yi's popularity level was quite high.

"Mr. Nan and the homeroom teacher from the class next door broke up two couples. Our class still has a couple stronger than gold, so he's currently working hard. The boy said that after he fell in love, he was even more motivated. Right now, he is ranked first in our grade."

Xiaoya then went on to say, "It's really nice being able to have a friend like you."

Xiaoya then went on to say, "It's really nice being able to have a friend like you."

Lu Xiaobei nodded to her, then took Xiaoya away.

"He's actually somebody who wants everything to be a chaotic for his own benefit, for him, it's much better for the class to be in disarray. But he doesn't have the balls to to actually cause trouble himself since he's afraid of leaving a bad impression on the teachers, while always encouraging others." Xiaoya chimed in.

"If you have an opinion, it's better to just come right out and say it directly." Mo Yichen then hugged Xiaoya's head in her arms, continuing, "Just like right now. If you didn't ask and I didn't say anything, you would've kept it all bottle up and the more you hold it in, the more uncomfortable you'd feel."

Lu Xiaobei no longer asked Xiaoya anything regarding that topic, instead asking, "Do you want to change your homeroom teacher?"

When someone dotes on her, Xiaoya couldn't stop herself from becoming weak. So, with a stuffy tone, Xiaoya sad to her, "You talk as though you know me pretty well."

Mo Yichen then added, "He's actually not bad looking, but his eyebrows are a bit too thick and he doesn't smile much. He looks like a really serious person. But his body is pretty good and his grades are good too. He's one of the good ones among the boys in our class."

"You're like a clear stream, so all it takes is one glance for someone to see through you. Other people might find something like that uninteresting, but I think it's a virtue."

Xiaoya stared at Lu Xiaobei, replying seriously, "If it was the previous semester, I would've wanted to change my homeroom teacher, without any doubt. But now it's different, because I have you, as well as Yichen, so I'm no longer alone.

When that time comes, I would've won against Mr. Nan but end up losing to your boyfriend. It's not worth it."

If another person asked her this question, Xiaoya would just start spitting pure complaints. But when the one asking this question is Lu Xiaobei, having recalled the other girl's prior 'heroic deeds', she stopped in her tracks. Lu Xiaobei followed suit, stopping as well, her gaze fixed upon Xiaoya.

But Mo Yichen still gave a shaken head in return.

"When Xiang Yi and I went to a karaoke place once and ran into him there."

But Mi Yichen shook her head.

Lu Xiaobei nodded to her, then took Xiaoya away.

Mo Yichen only covered her mouth and let out a chuckle at her statement, explaining, "That person... (she) probably minds it, but as long as it's you, (she) definitely won't worry about what you and I have."

Xiaoya gently broke away from Mo Yichen's hold, saying, "You can never, ever, let your boyfriend know then. He doesn't even agree to let you add one person on QQ, let alone you an I being so close.

Mo Yichen: "You know him that well..."

But Mi Yichen shook her head.

"No." Mo Yichen answered her while wearing a mysterious smile.

"H." Mo Yichen replied this time.

"No." Mo Yichen answered her while wearing a mysterious smile.

Lu Xiaobei: "Anything else?"

Xiaoya's emotions came as quickly as they left, so she now turned her head to stare at the sky beyond the library's window, rolling her eyes.

Xiaoya: "I'm not stupid."

Xiang Yi placed her bag on the chair facing Mo Yichen, saying, "My family's still working on her questions, so you can go accompany your family back."

"Who?" Xiaoya asked.

Flirting~

Lu Xiaobei nodded to her, then took Xiaoya away.

"Xiaoya, you shouldn't be too kind." Lu Xiaobei stated simply in response before turning and continuing on their way.

"Who?" Xiaoya asked.

"No." Mo Yichen answered her while wearing a mysterious smile.

But Mi Yichen shook her head.

Xiaoya: "I'm only voicing his thoughts. I don't actually think that way, neither will I let myself feel happy or sad based on anything he thinks. He's nobody important. At most, I was just a little curious about what he saw in me, and had half a mind to change it."

After Xiaoya returned home, she entered to hear her mother call out "you studied hard today so I made you some soup".

But Lu Xiaobei replied, "I've been sitting all day, I don;t want to sit down any more." She then touched her throat and added, "My throat was active non-stop during the mobilisation meeting. So how about you talk, alright? Did anything interesting happen in your class today?"

"What's their surname then?" Xiaoya changed her question.

"I know there are some people who like me, so I paid attention a bit. But I never thought of having anything to do with him because he's just a giant coward! If someone makes fun of me, and they're more popular than him he wouldn't dare say a peep, he'd even join in sometimes. If you like a pretty girl, and you can't get with her, you can take pride in that. But if you like a not pretty girl and you do get with her, you'll be ridiculed. I understood that from the beginning."

Lu Xiaobei followed suit, stopping as well, her gaze fixed upon Xiaoya.

But Mi Yichen shook her head.

"Because he's afraid the two people hanging out with each other will lose their motivation and the one with the good grades will be negatively affected."

Xiaoya stared at Lu Xiaobei, replying seriously, "If it was the previous semester, I would've wanted to change my homeroom teacher, without any doubt.

Seeing Mo Yichen didn't seem to understand, Xiaoya explained: "My sixth sense made me realise he looked at me differently.

She seemed to just do it as a joke. That girl also happened to be his classmate from junior high. One time he saw it happen and tapped her on the head then told her 'stop playing around'."

Mo Yichen: "You know? Did he tell you? Our class also has two Hu's, one even sits diagonally across from you."

The more Xiaoya spoke, the angrier she became, adding, "Before, couples were the ones broken up, using the words 'it'll affect their studies'. But now, even close friendships aren't spared?"

Lu Xiaobei nodded to her, then took Xiaoya away.

Xiao then continued, "There's been a lot of small incidents like that, but when you put them all together it's no coincidence."

Soon, the phone in her pocket vibrated, as the not too long departed Lu Xiaobei had sent her a message: Today's photos are licensed exclusively for you.

Without lifting her head, Xiaoya said to her, "What took you so long? I finished most of my papers already." It was Saturday, so the school only had classes for half the day and the library was also closed. Which was why Xiaoya and Mo Yichen had planned on meeting up there after class was done.

Mo Yichen: "You know him that well..."

After Mo Yichen entered through the window, she hung her bag on the back of a chair.

"Mr. Nan didn't just mention you, he also mentioned Xiang Yi." Mo Yichen then added, "She placed outside the top thirty of her year in the monthly exams. Mr. Nan said that although Xiang Yi is a sophomore, if I'm with her, there's nothing I could learn from her and it would be easy for me to pick up bad habits instead."

"It doesn't matter who it is, it has nothing to do with me." Xiaoya had no idea at all the truth she had just missed, as she then went on to add, "No come on, we have to get back to these questions because there's only a half hour before Captain and Xiang Yi classes are finished. There's a lot of people who won't pass the monthly exams this time around, and will strive to make a little progress next time around.

"What's their surname then?" Xiaoya changed her question.

"Is their surname Han?" Xiaoya asked.

Xiang Yi's singing ability was top tier. Every time there was a music festival at the school, her solo performance would be left for the grand finale. So, at the school, Xiang Yi's popularity level was quite high.

Xiaoya was shocked, asking, "You said so directly? Normally wouldn't you just make a false promise to the teacher then just keep your true intentions hidden if the worst comes to worst?"

"Can I at least get an initial?" Xiaoya tried again.

After Xiaoya returned home, she entered to hear her mother call out "you studied hard today so I made you some soup".

Xiaoya: "I'm not stupid."

◈◇◈

◈◇◈

On the way back, Xiaoya, noticing a bench, asked, "Captain, do you want to rest for a little while?"

"I know there are some people who like me, so I paid attention a bit. But I never thought of having anything to do with him because he's just a giant coward! If someone makes fun of me, and they're more popular than him he wouldn't dare say a peep, he'd even join in sometimes. If you like a pretty girl, and you can't get with her, you can take pride in that. But if you like a not pretty girl and you do get with her, you'll be ridiculed. I understood that from the beginning."

But Mo Yichen still gave a shaken head in return.

Xiaoya: "I'm only voicing his thoughts. I don't actually think that way, neither will I let myself feel happy or sad based on anything he thinks. He's nobody important. At most, I was just a little curious about what he saw in me, and had half a mind to change it."

◈◇◈

But Lu Xiaobei replied, "I've been sitting all day, I don;t want to sit down any more." She then touched her throat and added, "My throat was active non-stop during the mobilisation meeting. So how about you talk, alright? Did anything interesting happen in your class today?"

"Captain, you guy's made it!" Hearing the window close, Xiaoya turned back to see Lu Xiaobei and Xiang Yi walking over.

"Why? Is it because I'm not good looking? Because no one would ever like someone like me???"

"I know there are some people who like me, so I paid attention a bit. But I never thought of having anything to do with him because he's just a giant coward! If someone makes fun of me, and they're more popular than him he wouldn't dare say a peep, he'd even join in sometimes. If you like a pretty girl, and you can't get with her, you can take pride in that. But if you like a not pretty girl and you do get with her, you'll be ridiculed. I understood that from the beginning."

"Today was the mobilisation meeting before the college entrance exams, so it ran late. We couldn't send any messages from the auditorium either." Lu Xiaobei then looked at her watch then said to Xiang Yi, "It's getting late, so I'll take Xiaoya back home."

"How does Mr. Nan even know about you two?" Xiaoya asked.

Lu Xiaobei nodded to her, then took Xiaoya away.

"Today was the mobilisation meeting before the college entrance exams, so it ran late. We couldn't send any messages from the auditorium either." Lu Xiaobei then looked at her watch then said to Xiang Yi, "It's getting late, so I'll take Xiaoya back home."

Without lifting her head, Xiaoya said to her, "What took you so long? I finished most of my papers already." It was Saturday, so the school only had classes for half the day and the library was also closed. Which was why Xiaoya and Mo Yichen had planned on meeting up there after class was done.

Xiang Yi placed her bag on the chair facing Mo Yichen, saying, "My family's still working on her questions, so you can go accompany your family back."

Lu Xiaobei nodded to her, then took Xiaoya away.

Flirting~

Lu Xiaobei nodded to her, then took Xiaoya away.

After Mo Yichen entered through the window, she hung her bag on the back of a chair.

On the way back, Xiaoya, noticing a bench, asked, "Captain, do you want to rest for a little while?"

The school Library.

Mo Yichen: "It was nothing. Mr. Nan had something to discuss with me."

"H." Mo Yichen replied this time.

Mo Yichen: "He wanted to ask me if I wanted to be a member of the class committee. After Wang Jianjun transferred there was an empty spot on the committee. He also told me the names of a few other students, all of them girls who had good grades in the class, then asked me to keep in contact with them even after class to study and whatnot. It look as though everyone in the class will be divided in the future and it's likely I'll be sectioned off with them."

Xiao then continued, "There's been a lot of small incidents like that, but when you put them all together it's no coincidence."

Xiaoya: "I'm only voicing his thoughts. I don't actually think that way, neither will I let myself feel happy or sad based on anything he thinks. He's nobody important. At most, I was just a little curious about what he saw in me, and had half a mind to change it."

"Why? Is it because I'm not good looking? Because no one would ever like someone like me???"

But Lu Xiaobei replied, "I've been sitting all day, I don;t want to sit down any more." She then touched her throat and added, "My throat was active non-stop during the mobilisation meeting. So how about you talk, alright? Did anything interesting happen in your class today?"

Mo Yichen only covered her mouth and let out a chuckle at her statement, explaining, "That person... (she) probably minds it, but as long as it's you, (she) definitely won't worry about what you and I have."

"Mr. Nan and the homeroom teacher from the class next door broke up two couples. Our class still has a couple stronger than gold, so he's currently working hard. The boy said that after he fell in love, he was even more motivated. Right now, he is ranked first in our grade."

Seeing Mo Yichen didn't seem to understand, Xiaoya explained: "My sixth sense made me realise he looked at me differently. There was a girl in the class next door to ours who liked bumping into to me when she had nothing better to do. It wasn't really malicious, but it wasn't due to good intentions either. She seemed to just do it as a joke. That girl also happened to be his classmate from junior high. One time he saw it happen and tapped her on the head then told her 'stop playing around'."

◈◇◈

"I was a little curious too." Mo Yichen stated, causing confusion to appear in Xiaoya's eyes so she continued, "But... not about him."

"H." Mo Yichen replied this time.

"Mr. Nan didn't just mention you, he also mentioned Xiang Yi." Mo Yichen then added, "She placed outside the top thirty of her year in the monthly exams. Mr. Nan said that although Xiang Yi is a sophomore, if I'm with her, there's nothing I could learn from her and it would be easy for me to pick up bad habits instead."

Mo Yichen then interjected: "I refused. I refused joining the student committee and making friends with them."

"Can I at least get an initial?" Xiaoya tried again.

Lu Xiaobei: "Anything else?"

Mo Yichen: "You know? Did he tell you? Our class also has two Hu's, one even sits diagonally across from you."

Mo Yichen then added, "He's actually not bad looking, but his eyebrows are a bit too thick and he doesn't smile much. He looks like a really serious person. But his body is pretty good and his grades are good too. He's one of the good ones among the boys in our class."

Xiaoya: "I'm only voicing his thoughts. I don't actually think that way, neither will I let myself feel happy or sad based on anything he thinks. He's nobody important. At most, I was just a little curious about what he saw in me, and had half a mind to change it."

The pen Xiaoya was writing with stopped mid sentence, with her then asking, "Mr. Nan had something to discuss with you?"

Xiaoya: "He cares if people who are the same sex get along well too."

Xiaoya: "He cares if people who are the same sex get along well too."

Xiaoya's tone was a bit softer now as she explained, "The girl sitting in front of me was crying with her head down on her desk couple days ago. She said she and her friend was asked to keep their distance from her, saying that two people who hung out together would naturally influence one another. Also that the placements exams at the end of the term will be here soon, so they also needed to focus on their studies."

"Captain, you guy's made it!" Hearing the window close, Xiaoya turned back to see Lu Xiaobei and Xiang Yi walking over.

Lu Xiaobei: "Why?"

Mo Yichen: "He wanted to ask me if I wanted to be a member of the class committee. After Wang Jianjun transferred there was an empty spot on the committee. He also told me the names of a few other students, all of them girls who had good grades in the class, then asked me to keep in contact with them even after class to study and whatnot.

But Mo Yichen still gave a shaken head in return.

After Xiaoya returned home, she entered to hear her mother call out "you studied hard today so I made you some soup".

"Captain, you guy's made it!" Hearing the window close, Xiaoya turned back to see Lu Xiaobei and Xiang Yi walking over.

"When Xiang Yi and I went to a karaoke place once and ran into him there."

"Because he's afraid the two people hanging out with each other will lose their motivation and the one with the good grades will be negatively affected."

But Lu Xiaobei replied, "I've been sitting all day, I don;t want to sit down any more." She then touched her throat and added, "My throat was active non-stop during the mobilisation meeting. So how about you talk, alright? Did anything interesting happen in your class today?"

But Lu Xiaobei replied, "I've been sitting all day, I don;t want to sit down any more." She then touched her throat and added, "My throat was active non-stop during the mobilisation meeting. So how about you talk, alright? Did anything interesting happen in your class today?"

"No." Mo Yichen answered her while wearing a mysterious smile.

"If you have an opinion, it's better to just come right out and say it directly." Mo Yichen then hugged Xiaoya's head in her arms, continuing, "Just like right now. If you didn't ask and I didn't say anything, you would've kept it all bottle up and the more you hold it in, the more uncomfortable you'd feel."

Xiaoya's tone was a bit softer now as she explained, "The girl sitting in front of me was crying with her head down on her desk couple days ago. She said she and her friend was asked to keep their distance from her, saying that two people who hung out together would naturally influence one another. Also that the placements exams at the end of the term will be here soon, so they also needed to focus on their studies."

N/A

Lu Xiaobei no longer asked Xiaoya anything regarding that topic, instead asking, "Do you want to change your homeroom teacher?"

The pen Xiaoya was writing with stopped mid sentence, with her then asking, "Mr. Nan had something to discuss with you?"

But Lu Xiaobei replied, "I've been sitting all day, I don;t want to sit down any more." She then touched her throat and added, "My throat was active non-stop during the mobilisation meeting. So how about you talk, alright? Did anything interesting happen in your class today?"

The pen Xiaoya was writing with stopped mid sentence, with her then asking, "Mr. Nan had something to discuss with you?"

Xiaoya's emotions came as quickly as they left, so she now turned her head to stare at the sky beyond the library's window, rolling her eyes.

"If you have an opinion, it's better to just come right out and say it directly." Mo Yichen then hugged Xiaoya's head in her arms, continuing, "Just like right now. If you didn't ask and I didn't say anything, you would've kept it all bottle up and the more you hold it in, the more uncomfortable you'd feel."

If another person asked her this question, Xiaoya would just start spitting pure complaints. But when the one asking this question is Lu Xiaobei, having recalled the other girl's prior 'heroic deeds', she stopped in her tracks. Lu Xiaobei followed suit, stopping as well, her gaze fixed upon Xiaoya.

"He's actually somebody who wants everything to be a chaotic for his own benefit, for him, it's much better for the class to be in disarray. But he doesn't have the balls to to actually cause trouble himself since he's afraid of leaving a bad impression on the teachers, while always encouraging others." Xiaoya chimed in.

Xiaoya stared at Lu Xiaobei, replying seriously, "If it was the previous semester, I would've wanted to change my homeroom teacher, without any doubt. But now it's different, because I have you, as well as Yichen, so I'm no longer alone. More than an entire term has already passed by now, so if there was a changing in our teachers, many students wouldn't be able to adapt and that could affect their performance during exams."

"You're like a clear stream, so all it takes is one glance for someone to see through you. Other people might find something like that uninteresting, but I think it's a virtue."

"Xiaoya, you shouldn't be too kind." Lu Xiaobei stated simply in response before turning and continuing on their way.

Xiang Yi's singing ability was top tier. Every time there was a music festival at the school, her solo performance would be left for the grand finale. So, at the school, Xiang Yi's popularity level was quite high.

But when the one asking this question is Lu Xiaobei, having recalled the other girl's prior 'heroic deeds', she stopped in her tracks. Lu Xiaobei followed suit, stopping as well, her gaze fixed upon Xiaoya.

Mo Yichen was on clean up duty that day, so she needed to clean up the class before leaving. As a result, Xiaoya left for the library first, thinking Mo Yichen would take ten minutes at most, never expecting her to be delayed for nearly an hour.

Perhaps it was due to the people around her treating her too kindly, because Xiaoya had now developed a bit of a temper.

"If you have an opinion, it's better to just come right out and say it directly." Mo Yichen then hugged Xiaoya's head in her arms, continuing, "Just like right now. If you didn't ask and I didn't say anything, you would've kept it all bottle up and the more you hold it in, the more uncomfortable you'd feel."

But he doesn't have the balls to to actually cause trouble himself since he's afraid of leaving a bad impression on the teachers, while always encouraging others." Xiaoya chimed in.

Lu Xiaobei: "Anything else?"

"Actually, it's because I know there's a classmate of ours who likes you." Mo Yichen said in an attempt to coax her.

"Today was the mobilisation meeting before the college entrance exams, so it ran late. We couldn't send any messages from the auditorium either." Lu Xiaobei then looked at her watch then said to Xiang Yi, "It's getting late, so I'll take Xiaoya back home."

◈◇◈

When someone dotes on her, Xiaoya couldn't stop herself from becoming weak. So, with a stuffy tone, Xiaoya sad to her, "You talk as though you know me pretty well."

The more Xiaoya spoke, the angrier she became, adding, "Before, couples were the ones broken up, using the words 'it'll affect their studies'. But now, even close friendships aren't spared?"

Xiaoya gently broke away from Mo Yichen's hold, saying, "You can never, ever, let your boyfriend know then. He doesn't even agree to let you add one person on QQ, let alone you an I being so close. When that time comes, I would've won against Mr. Nan but end up losing to your boyfriend. It's not worth it."

Xiaoya then went on to say, "It's really nice being able to have a friend like you."

Lu Xiaobei: "Why?"

After Xiaoya returned home, she entered to hear her mother call out "you studied hard today so I made you some soup".

"When Xiang Yi and I went to a karaoke place once and ran into him there."

But Mo Yichen still gave a shaken head in return.

Mo Yichen: "He wanted to ask me if I wanted to be a member of the class committee. After Wang Jianjun transferred there was an empty spot on the committee.

But Mi Yichen shook her head.

On the way back, Xiaoya, noticing a bench, asked, "Captain, do you want to rest for a little while?"

The pen Xiaoya was writing with stopped mid sentence, with her then asking, "Mr. Nan had something to discuss with you?"

The pen Xiaoya was writing with stopped mid sentence, with her then asking, "Mr. Nan had something to discuss with you?"

Soon, the phone in her pocket vibrated, as the not too long departed Lu Xiaobei had sent her a message: Today's photos are exclusively licensed for your eyes only.

◈◇◈

"Why? Is it because I'm not good looking? Because no one would ever like someone like me???"

Xiaoya gently broke away from Mo Yichen's hold, saying, "You can never, ever, let your boyfriend know then. He doesn't even agree to let you add one person on QQ, let alone you an I being so close. When that time comes, I would've won against Mr. Nan but end up losing to your boyfriend. It's not worth it."

"H." Mo Yichen replied this time.

But Lu Xiaobei replied, "I've been sitting all day, I don;t want to sit down any more." She then touched her throat and added, "My throat was active non-stop during the mobilisation meeting. So how about you talk, alright? Did anything interesting happen in your class today?"
