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

Is friendship such a fragile thing?

"Would it shatter with just one kiss?"

In a word.

Ask it in the calmest tone.

The power exploded instantly!

Lin Ran was completely dumbfounded. His brain's CPU hissed and started smoking, officially declaring itself unusable.

All that remained in my mind was a huge exclamation mark—

[Holy crap! ——Damn! ——]

He originally just wanted to confirm the true thoughts and feelings of his classmate, who was the most beautiful girl in the school.

after all.

Most of the things that happened between the two before could be explained in a perfunctory way, and could be described as "reasonable".

But only that night in the private room of Qian Gui KTV.

The girl leaned forward and gave a kiss with such initiative and determination.

There's no way to fool them with the excuse that they "have a good relationship with their deskmates."

But Lin Ran never expected this.

My classmate, the school beauty, has taken an unconventional approach!

The phrase "a bet is a bet" firmly establishes its position on a logical level.

Then, she calmly stated that since it was a steadfast friendship between classmates, how could a mere kiss shake it?

Lin Ran was completely stunned.

Holy crap, so in the heart of your Soochow University campus belle, is the friendship between deskmates really such an unbreakable thing...?

In a trance.

He even seemed to see a huge, golden statue of the word "Friendship" suddenly rise up before his eyes!

shining!

It's so bright it'll blind you!

It even made Lin Ran herself hesitate, and she began to doubt her life and reflect on herself.

【no……】

Could it be that the guy himself had impure thoughts?

Has my belief in friendship wavered?

It was as if they had accurately guessed what someone was thinking.

The school beauty's deskmate in front of him immediately raised an eyebrow and sized Lin Ran up and down:

"Unless you have something to hide, you won't be able to stop your mind from wandering."

"Did that kiss hold special significance for some people?"

In a word.

It instantly and accurately hit someone's sore spot.

Feeling guilty, Lin Ran almost jumped up again:

"I'm not! I'm not a ghost!"

"I was just asking!"

"My view on friendship is exactly the same as yours! Absolutely unwavering!"

Su Qingyan gave a light "Oh," then glanced at Lin Ran:

"So, is it reasonable now?"

Without a second's hesitation, someone responded instantly, with unwavering conviction, passionate fervor, and a pounding of their chest:

"Reasonable!"

"It must be reasonable!!"

It's as if they're afraid that if they hesitate for even a second longer, they'll be nailed to the cross and accused of "having ulterior motives."

Su Qingyan nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"That's good."

"Let's go."

After saying that, the girl put her hands behind her back, calmly and leisurely walked forward, leaving someone with a calm and composed back view.

But I don’t know.

The girl's face at this moment is so upturned that her lips are practically pointing to the sky.

【little things.】

[Trying to outsmart your sister?]

Still a bit green~

……

back home.

Lin Ran recalled the conversation she had with her classmate, the school beauty, while they were walking along the river.

My head is still buzzing.

I tossed and turned all night, studying and pondering it, and couldn't get a good night's sleep.

The next day, I couldn't resist and called my good friend to humbly ask for advice and suggestions.

"relationship issue?"

"Then you've come to the right person!"

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Ke thumped his chest loudly, brimming with confidence and boundless pride.

Since confessing his feelings to Yuan Tingting and successfully finding a partner, he now considers himself a dating expert.

"Ran-ge, ask me anything!"

After hearing Lin Ran's story, Zhao Ke's eyes widened in astonishment:

"What the hell?"

"They kissed and you still call it friendship? You're kidding me!"

"You have nothing to hide?"

"A parade of a hundred demons is more like it!"

He launched a righteous and stern attack, dismissing each and every point of the person's inquiry with contempt.

Finally, Zhao Ke casually asked another question:

"Ran-ge, who came up with these fallacies?"

Lin Ran: "Su Qingyan."

Zhao Ke instantly became righteous and indignant: "Then the class monitor is right! Just ignore everything I just said!"

Lin Ran: "?"

I can tell now, even this best friend isn't reliable.

Giving up on consulting a relationship expert, Lin Ran prepared to hang up.

But Zhao Ke seemed to suddenly realize something:

"Fuck!"

"Ran-ge, did you kiss our class monitor?!"

Someone nearly dropped their phone and quickly and firmly stated:

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

"I asked this on behalf of a friend; it has nothing to do with me."

Finally, still feeling uneasy, I gave one last piece of advice:

"Don't tell anyone."

Zhao Ke readily agreed, patting his chest vigorously and making a solemn vow:

"do not worry!"

"He has no other redeeming qualities! He's just a tight-lipped guy! He won't tell anyone!"

Lin Ran hung up the phone, relieved.

The other end.

In the milk tea shop.

Zhao Ke put away his phone, just as Yuan Tingting came over from the counter with two cups of milk tea and sat down. Curious, he asked:

"Is that Lin Ran? What are you two talking about?"

"I also heard you mention Qingyan?"

Zhao Ke took the milk tea and took a satisfying sip through the straw:

"Nothing much, just stuff about classmates, friendship, having nothing to hide... a whole bunch of stuff."

"These two are putting on a super-dramatic show of affection here, showering each other with lovey-dovey displays."

He pursed his lips to draw a conclusion, then, as if remembering something, his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at his girlfriend:

"Oh, right, there's some big gossip!"

"Ran-ge and the class monitor kissed!!!"

……

The following two days.

Lin Ran and Su Qingyan didn't have much contact either.

The latter was unaware of what he was doing, while the other person was still trying to sort out his thoughts and was feeling somewhat guilty.

Zhao Ke, on the other hand, often called Lin Ran.

On the phone, he boasted and showed off his sweet and loving relationship with Yuan Tingting during swimming lessons, and how his swimming skills had improved so much. He acted as if he couldn't wait to win glory for the country at the Beijing Olympics next year.

After a long, pointless boasting session, they finally got to the point and mentioned something serious:

"Right, Brother Ran."

"I heard that a new water park has opened in the neighboring town of Qiaotang."

"Tingting and I are planning to go out for a trip. She asked the class monitor to come along."

summer.

Water park.

Swimsuit, swimming pool.

My deskmate is the school beauty.

Several keywords formed a picture in my mind.

Someone couldn't help but feel a flutter in their heart.

then.

The next day, at Qiaotang Water Park.

Even if you've prepared yourself mentally beforehand.

But when the school beauty's deskmate, dressed in a swimsuit, walked gracefully towards them in the bright sunshine.

It still made Lin Ran's heart skip a beat.

Completely unadorned, like a lotus emerging from clear water.

Her ponytail was neatly tied up and swung behind her head. Her swimsuit was just a simple white floral dress, but it still accentuated her stunning curves. Her skin was as smooth as cream, whiter than snow, and so bright and beautiful that it was almost dazzling.

The long legs beneath the skirt were breathtakingly long, and a pair of delicate, jade-like feet stood gracefully.

Yuan Tingting grabbed her boyfriend's ear, jealous:

Who are you looking at?

Zhao Ke cried out in pain, "Wife, I'm innocent! Of course I only look at you! Ouch, ouch, be gentle—"

The young couple playfully bickered and walked away.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, this space was left to another boy and girl.

Su Qingyan looked at Lin Ran and raised her eyebrows slightly:

"Can you swim?"

Lin Ran came to her senses.

Upon hearing this question, he recalled the scene at the billiards hall a few days ago, instantly becoming alert. He then shook his head vigorously and stated firmly:

"will not!"

"I can't teach this!"

Unexpectedly.

The girl in front of him merely nodded slightly, her expression calm and composed.

"is it?"

"I can do this."

"I teach you."

Lin Ran: "!?"

[Holy crap, I was careless!]

[I didn't expect this move!!]
