The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

A scream of "Holy crap!"

This finally broke the silence in the open space in front of the mountaintop zoo's traveling exhibition.

Yuan Tingting and Xu Shanshan also came to their senses, but still looked at Su Qingyan and Lin Ran with shock and disbelief:

"You, you—"

When I arrived at the entrance of the exhibition at the top of the mountain, I unexpectedly ran into a classmate.

Lin Ran and Su Qingyan were also momentarily stunned.

But then, realizing what was happening, Lin Ran quickly put on a righteous and awe-inspiring expression and explained:

"I was tired of studying at home, so I came to the park to get some fresh air."

"It just so happens that Su is here too."

"It was all a coincidence."

Su Qingyan, standing beside her, nodded calmly, her gaze sweeping over the classmates in front of her:

"There's a certain unspoken understanding between the two of them."

"That makes sense, doesn't it?"

Is this reasonable?

Yuan Tingting and Xu Shanshan swallowed hard, their gazes instinctively shifting downwards to the hands of someone still clasped together with Su, the campus belle:

"Then you guys—"

Su Qingyan followed the gazes of her two best friends and looked down at herself, still holding Lin Ran's hand. Without blushing or skipping a beat, she calmly explained:

"The mountain path was too slippery."

"Lin Ran was afraid I would fall, so she held my hand."

"It's all because it rained yesterday."

"It's just a coincidence."

Lin Ran nodded in agreement:

"Yes."

"Reasonable."

One of yours was a coincidence, the other's was reasonable...

Are you two putting on a show here?!

Yuan Tingting and Xu Shanshan couldn't help but have huge question marks popping up above their heads.

Zhao Ke, however, listened with great excitement, nodding vigorously:

"That makes sense!"

"It has to be reasonable! It's so reasonable!!"

The frustration and anger from before vanished instantly. Zhao Ke turned to look at Guo Xiaoqing and Feng Tiange, who were still stunned and dumbfounded, and felt a surge of triumph.

"How about it?"

"I told you so!"

"Now, who's being presumptuous, who's being arrogant!?"

……

Guo Xiaoqing and Feng Tiange were truly dumbfounded at this moment.

They didn't know Lin Ran.

But Su Qingyan, the undisputed ice queen of Yunan Middle School, was someone he knew all too well and recognized at a glance.

But that's why.

They were surprised to see the most beautiful girl from Soochow University standing hand in hand with a boy.

This made them even more shocked and incredulous.

Especially Feng Tiange.

Looking at the ice queen he had always admired, who was now being held by a seemingly ordinary-looking boy.

It felt like the sky had fallen!

My worldview is about to be shattered into dust!

My head is buzzing!

How can it be?

no……

he……

Why should I?!

Just then, Su Qingyan's indifferent gaze swept over Feng and Guo:

"they are?"

Feng Tiange snapped back to reality. Being asked by the school beauty goddess made him feel nervous, awkward, and excited. He was racking his brains to think of the right words to give an elegant and appropriate self-introduction.

But Zhao Ke beat him to it:

"Class monitor, those two are from Class 11 next door."

"This is Guo Xiaoqing."

"As for the other one—"

At this point, Zhao Ke glanced at Feng Tiange and chuckled.

"It doesn't matter, he's busy dodging Batman's pursuit."

Feng Tiange was stunned at first, then realized what she meant and her face flushed red with embarrassment and anger: "You!—"

Yuan Tingting gave Zhao Ke a reproachful look: "Zhao Ke, don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Ke chuckled: "Oh, just kidding, Brother Feng, you're so magnanimous, you certainly won't mind, will you?"

Say that.

Zhao Ke was overjoyed. Ran Ge's previous rhetoric was really effective at insulting people. It felt so good to get revenge on the spot, hahaha!

Xu Shanshan turned to look at Su Qingyan:

"Since it's all such a coincidence..."

"Qingyan, why don't you guys go for a walk together?"

We've already run into each other.

It would be somewhat unnatural to try to find other reasons to refuse.

Su Qingyan nodded slightly, her face showing no change in emotion, and nodded calmly:

"it is good."

……

No additional ticket is required to enter the zoo's touring exhibition.

So the group passed through the entrance without any obstruction and soon saw a series of iron cages of various sizes placed in front of an open-air platform that was specially enclosed by iron railings.

You can see all sorts of animals in each cage.

Owls, foxes, gray wolves, all sorts of exotic birds, and even a giraffe.

After all, it's just a small zoo exhibition, mostly featuring birds, with no lions, tigers, or elephants to be seen.

But for residents of a small county like Yunan, this is already quite rare.

Girls like Yuan Tingting and Xu Shanshan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, and their eyes lit up with hearts for some of the cute little animals.

Even someone as proud as Guo Xiaoqing, like a little princess, couldn't help but excitedly keep walking forward, looking left and right.

Su Qingyan followed Lin Ran side by side.

Once you're with the rest of the group, it becomes less convenient to continue holding hands.

On the surface, the campus belle of Suzhou University seemed nonchalant, but in her heart, she was filled with regret. She didn't pay much attention to the animals, and her eyes kept glancing at someone's hands.

Feng Tiange didn't even have time to look at the animals.

He couldn't help but keep glancing at Su Qingyan and Lin Ran.

With his exceptional intelligence as the class monitor of Class 11, he couldn't understand why Lin Ran was superior to him in any way, and why the school's ice queen and goddess would come to stroll in the park with him.

Before he could figure it out.

The group had now reached a corner on the right side of the exhibition hall.

The iron cage here is placed on a pool of water, where you can see several lazy golden pythons slowly crawling out.

"snake!"

Yuan Tingting and Xu Shanshan were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

In her panic, the former instinctively stepped back, grabbed Zhao Ke's sleeve, and half of her body fell into his arms.

Zhao Ke was initially startled, but when his crush suddenly threw herself into his arms, he instantly became radiant with courage, his face glowing red. He immediately wrapped his arms around Yuan Tingting's waist, his expression righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Don't be afraid! I'm here!"

On the other side, Guo Xiaoqing was also so frightened that she threw herself into Feng Tiange's arms.

But judging from her proactive and eager way of snuggling into Feng Tiange's arms while shouting "I'm scared," half of her fear was probably just an act.

These scenes unfolded before Su Qingyan's eyes.

The usually aloof and icy beauty of Soochow University was rarely moved.

【turn out to be--】

[Is there another trick to this?]

The little voice in my head slapped my thigh – I can't fall behind!

So, the next second.

The campus belle of Suzhou University called out in a cool and aloof tone:

"what."

Then, before anyone could react.

She took two steps back as if nothing had happened, and naturally fell into someone's arms.

A soft, fragrant body suddenly entered his arms.

Lin Ran: "?"

He looked at his classmate, the school beauty, in his arms with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

The school beauty's deskmate, without blushing or skipping a beat, calmly replied:

"There are snakes."

"Terrible."

Lin Ran looked up at the innocent and lazy-looking golden python, then looked down at her classmate, the school beauty, who had a cool and indifferent expression.

A huge question mark slowly emerged.

This looks...

They don't seem scared.
