So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

Xu Jiayue was shoved into her mouth by their lovey-dovey face, and turned away sullenly, ignoring them.

Chu Yu looked shocked. "You really signed up for long-distance running?"

No need to think about it anymore?

After tidying up his own books, Song Zhihuai started tidying up hers as well. "Didn't I just promise you that I would sign up for whatever you wanted me to sign up for?"

After sorting out the materials he needed to take home, he casually picked up the girl's pink backpack, placed it on his lap, put the books and materials he had just sorted inside, and carefully zipped it up.

"Your duty group is with me, today."

"Okay, what will I be responsible for?"

This time it was Song Zhihuai's turn to be stunned; he really hadn't figured out what tasks to assign her.

It seems that no matter what he asks her to do, he is reluctant to do it.

"Can I take out the trash?"

"Sure, I can do that."

"Ah."

After school, Chu Yu was called to the English teacher's office.

When she returned to the classroom, the students who were responsible for sweeping, mopping, and wiping the blackboard had already finished their work.

She walked to the corner of the classroom to take out the trash.

Huh? Where did the trash can go?

There are people vying for this job?

Song Zhihuai, who had been busy taking on the task, carried a trash can in each hand back to the classroom. Seeing Chu Yu standing there in a daze, he said gently, "Wait a moment, we can leave soon."

"Okay, thank you!"

"You are welcome."

Chu Yu walked to the seat, ready to pick up their backpacks and wait outside for him to lock the door.

"I come."

Song Zhihuai quickly reached out and stopped her, then put his own schoolbag on his back and carried her pink schoolbag in his hand.

"I have a form to submit to the academic affairs office."

"Oh, okay, then I'll—"

"Let's go together."

Chu Yu: "..."

She thought that the sentence meant she should go first.

So you're asking her to come along?

The office building where the academic affairs office is located faces their teaching building across the street. Walking from here to the school gate is basically walking around the entire school.

Chu Yu tried several times to get her schoolbag back, but Song Zhihuai refused each time.

"It's heavy, I'll take it."

"..."

It wasn't that she insisted on carrying that backpack; it was just that the two of them walking around campus like that would attract too much attention.

Their appearance was already flamboyant enough, and then there was the endless gossip surrounding them.

It's estimated that within an hour, their photos and various versions of the story will have spread throughout all kinds of groups in the school.

Chu Yu couldn't stand the intense gazes around her, so she secretly hid behind Song Zhihuai.

Song Zhihuai seemed to guess what she was thinking, and pulled her by the wrist, leading her to the side of the road.

She even whispered a reassuring word: "It's alright."

Chu Yu: "..."

If you hadn't held my hand, nothing probably would have happened...

Just now, the moment Song Zhihuai grabbed her wrist, she clearly heard a girl's soft gasp from not far away.

Now he's definitely going to be the talk of the school.

Upon reaching the office building lobby, Song Zhihuai stopped and asked, looking down, "Do you want to come with me or wait here for me?"

Chu Yu thought for a moment. By now, the entire school probably already knew that she and Song Zhihuai had strolled around campus together. If she went to the academic affairs office with them, the news would spread quickly among the teachers as well…

"I'm not going up."

Song Zhihuai nodded. "Okay."

Then he reached out and took her slender wrist, leading her to the rest area next to him, and placed their backpacks on the seats.

The chairs in the rest area were made of metal. Song Zhihuai bent down and touched the chair, then got up, took off his school uniform and spread it on the chair before pulling the girl to sit down.

He leaned down to look Chu Yu in the eye and whispered, "Sit here quietly for a while, I'll be back soon, okay?"

Chu Yu was amused by his tone and nodded seriously, "Don't worry! I won't run around."

The boy seemed surprised by her words. He raised his long eyebrows slightly, his eyes shimmering with tenderness, and gently placed his well-defined hand on the top of the girl's head.

"good."

After Song Zhihuai left, Chu Yu took out her phone from her bag, turned it on, and countless message notifications flooded in instantly.

"..."

She knew it.

She first replied to the driver with a message that she would be a little late getting out of school, and then opened the chat window with Xu Jiayue, who had been bombarding her the most.

[Old Altar Shan Cai]: I'm blanching! ...

[Old Altar Shan Cai]: Sister, you're famous!!!

[Old Altar Shancai]: What's going on between you and Song Zhihuai?!

[Old-fashioned Shan Cai]: Image.jpg

[Old Altar Shancai]: It's been 13 minutes and 29 seconds, and you still haven't responded to me, so how far have you two gotten?

Chu Yu clicked on the secretly taken photo.

Sure enough, it was taken when Song Zhihuai was pulling her by the wrist and walking towards the roadside.

The person who took this photo has some photographic talent; the composition, framing, and use of light and shadow are all excellent.

Even if she weren't the person in the photo, she would be touched by its sweetness.

[Isn't it painful that I'm bad at the game?]: ...

[I'm bad at the game, am I not upset?]: Would you believe me if I said that was all fake?

[Old Altar Shancai]: Weren't you two just strolling around?

[Am I not upset that I'm bad at the game?]: Yes.

[Old Altar Shancai]: Wasn't it Song Zhihuai who held your wrist?

[Am I not upset that I'm bad at the game?]: Yes.

[Old Altar Shancai]: Then what is fake?

[I'm bad at this game, am I not upset?]: ...What you're thinking is all fake!

[Old Altar Shan Cai]: Do you know what I'm thinking?

[I'm bad at this, am I not upset?]: Do you want to go to the study room together tomorrow?

[Old Altar Shancai]: What did I do to make you think I'm so easy to fool?

Chu Yu felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"looking at what?"

A young man's clear and melodious voice rang out from above.

Chu Yu reflexively looked up at him, and the moment she saw him, she felt like she had found a backer. She pouted and said in a wronged tone, "What should we do? We've been secretly photographed—"

This was the first time Song Zhihuai had heard her speak to him in such a pitiful, tearful tone, almost like a spoiled child.

It took him a beat to react, so he quickly knelt down in front of the girl and gently placed his hands on her arms. "It's okay, don't worry, I'll handle it."

Even though he knew she wasn't crying, he still felt heartbroken just hearing her voice sound so aggrieved.

At this moment, Song Zhihuai finally resigned himself to his fate, putting down all resistance and yielding to his own heart.

The boy squatted there and comforted the girl for a long time, and she gradually calmed down.

Can I see the photos?

Chu Yu unlocks her phone screen.

The chat window with Xu Jiayue hadn't closed when Xu Jiayue's latest message suddenly appeared in front of them.

[Old Altar Shan Cai]: Chu Yu, you traitor! You and Song Zhihuai were having an affair and you didn't even tell me!!!

[Old Altar Shan Cai]: Waaaaa, you're not my Chu Chu anymore! From now on, you're that dog Song Zhihuai's precious baby, waaaaaah!

[Old Altar Shancai]: Now that things have come to this, when are you two going to treat me to a meal?

Chu Yu's vision went black.

He tried his best to ignore the boy's soft laughter beside him.

Song Zhihuai seemed to be doing it on purpose, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "When are you going to invite her to dinner, my—baby?"
