He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

This was the first time the students in Class One had seen someone come looking for Qu Yi, especially a junior high school student, so they all looked over curiously.

Qu Yi said to Gu Yifan, "Let's go."

Without a second thought, Gu Yifan picked up his foot and followed.

As for where to go?

He doesn't know either.

When she reached the corner where there were only a few scattered people, Qu Yi stopped and looked at the boy who was more than half a head shorter than her.

"What do you want from me?"

Gu Yifan was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a piece of paper from the large pocket of his school uniform and handed it to her.

Qu Yi raised an eyebrow slightly. Could this be a thank-you note?

But aren't we a little late?

Gu Yifan seemed to understand what Qu Yi's expression meant, and hurriedly waved his hand: "It wasn't me, Bai Jiashi asked me to give it to you."

Qu Yi paused upon hearing this: "Bai Jiashi..."

It was called a letter, but it was really just a few words written on a blank piece of paper.

This is incredibly perfunctory. It's unbelievable that the original owner would be moved by something like this.

After reading it, Qu Yi crumpled the paper into a ball and casually threw it into the trash can next to her.

"So, you just threw it away?" Gu Yifan stammered.

"What bad luck." Qu Yi clapped his hands and then said to him, "You should go back to class. Good students shouldn't skip class."

After watching Qu Yi's figure disappear, Gu Yifan stared in the direction she left for a long while before slowly returning home.

That evening, Bai Jiashi asked Gu Yifan about this matter. Gu Yifan thought to himself that since Qu Yi had done this, he was obviously not afraid of Bai Jiashi finding out, so he did not intend to lie and told the truth.

Bai Jiashi's face turned ashen upon hearing this.

"She actually dared to lose it?!"

Gu Yifan kept his head down and didn't say anything.

Bai Jiashi was furious by himself for a long time, but when he noticed that Gu Yifan was standing silently beside him, he got even angrier: "Can't you say something?!"

Gu Yifan looked up, his bangs covering half of his eyes, his pale red lips parting slightly, his voice soft: "I don't know what to say."

Bai Jiashi coldly mocked, "Useless thing."

Although Bai Jiashi was very angry about Qu Yi's behavior, he would never give up halfway through the task that Qu Youyou asked him to do.

From that day on, he had Gu Yifan deliver letters to her every few days.

Qu Yi was annoyed and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she told Gu Yifan to stop sending her things.

"Oh? Then should I take it...take it back with me?"

"Won't Bai Jiashi be angry with you if you take it back? Just throw it away, you can throw it anywhere."

"Huh?! You threw it away?!" Gu Yifan's voice rose, his face filled with undisguised joy, but he quickly suppressed it under Qu Yi's questioning gaze, lowered his head slightly, and answered softly, "I know."

On the way back, Gu Yifan was in a very good mood, and it was obvious to anyone with eyes that he was walking lightly.

On campus, along the tree-lined paths, a gentle breeze blows and fallen leaves flutter down.

Gu Yifan crumpled the paper in his hand into the smallest possible size, paused by the trash can, and gently placed the crumpled paper into the trash can with his slender fingers.

He turned to look at the shimmering water beside him, a slight smile playing on his pale red lips.

Midterm exams were fast approaching. Unlike final exams, midterm exams didn't require each student to have their own desk; students simply sat in their own seats. However, the teachers would be much stricter in proctoring than usual.

In the past, the proctors would stand next to Qu Youyou and watch her do the questions. Most people would be very nervous, but Qu Youyou was different. She did the questions faster and more accurately.

But this midterm exam was clearly different from the previous ones.

The proctors for almost every subject paid extra attention to Qu Yi.

Teachers in this class are aware of the changes in Qu Yi, while teachers in other classes have only seen the rankings and heard about it from their colleagues. Now that they can openly take a look, they naturally want to satisfy their curiosity and linger longer when passing by Qu Yi.

The treatment that belonged to her was transferred to someone else. Qu Youyou gritted her teeth and gripped the pen tightly in her hand.

After the exam, several girls who were close to Qu Youyou stood together and chatted.

"Hmph, the teacher doesn't even come to see Youyou anymore, really."

"Youyou is so outstanding, the teachers must be blind."

Qu Youyou frowned, feigning a rebuttal: "Don't say that. My sister has improved so much, it's only right that the teachers pay more attention to her. My sister is so amazing, I should be happy for her."

"Youyou, you're just too kind."

"Yes."

"No amount of melodies can compare to even half of yours."

Qu Youyou said a few more words and then said she needed to go to the restroom and left.

When she returned, before she even got close, she heard several people discussing how to teach Qu Yi a lesson. Hearing this, Qu Youyou leaned against the wall, a pure smile appearing on her fair face.
