Meeting you in autumn

Feeling uncomfortable under the gaze of so many people, Chen Fang's face flushed slightly, and he appeared somewhat embarrassed.

However, he quickly composed himself and hurriedly explained, "Hey, don't just stare at me, hurry up and eat! I'm planning to lose weight recently, so I have to control my diet and eat less meat."

However, the crowd was clearly unconvinced by Chen Fang's explanation. They exchanged glances, their faces showing a "I don't believe you" expression.

Jing Yi, who usually doesn't pay much attention to these kinds of things, was now watching Chen Fang with great interest, just like a bystander, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Fang secretly groaned, but since things had come to this point, he could only grit his teeth and continue to cover up the lie.

Shen Jia, standing to the side, was desperately trying to suppress her laughter. She knew Chen Fang's personality all too well. How could this guy suddenly decide to lose weight?

It's obvious that Brother Chen must have cut off his allowance again, which is why he's in such dire straits now.

However, since Chen Fang didn't want to admit it, Shen Jia didn't point it out, but just pretended to suddenly understand.

After saying "Oh~", he lowered his head and continued eating his meal as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, the others also turned their attention away, picked up their chopsticks again, and continued eating. The small disturbance was thus temporarily averted.

Seeing that the others stopped asking questions, Chen Fang breathed a sigh of relief. He was also feeling bitter inside. What could he do? It was all because his brother had argued with Sister Ling Lin again the day before yesterday, and he had caught them in the act again.

Then they take it out on him at the drop of a hat; he must be exhausted.

Just then, Jing Yi picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, Guan Yu's favorite, and put it in her bowl. She looked at her gently and said, "Eat more."

"Uh~" When Feng Ming saw Jing Yi's behavior, the dish he had just picked up fell back to its original position, looking disgusted.

Guan Yu was also stunned. Fortunately, only Feng Ming noticed. Everyone else was eating quietly and then cautiously glanced at Jing Yi.

After doing all this, the person involved remained calm and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Guan Yu then picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs and ate them. Jing Yi, who was standing next to her, looked at her with a face full of doting affection.

Guan Yu felt a warmth in her heart. Noticing his gaze, she looked up and gave him a sweet smile.

After lunch, the group returned to the classroom, intending to take a nap at their desks. Because lunchtime was short, they sometimes chose not to go back to the classroom and instead rested there.

Chen Fang took out his phone, put on his headphones, and prepared to play a game when Chen Feng kicked him from behind, warning him, "You better watch yourself, the camera's watching, and don't disturb our sleep."

Chen Fang noticed that someone behind him had kicked him and was about to curse, but then he heard Chen Feng's words and his anger instantly dissipated. Helpless, he could only put his phone away.

Just as he carefully put his phone into his pocket, a message suddenly popped up on his phone like a bombshell.

He looked closely and saw it was a new message in the class group chat. Without hesitation, he quickly opened it. Sure enough, the sender was their homeroom teacher.

The message at the top of the screen clearly stated: "Given the approaching National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), after thorough discussion by the entire grade level, it has been decided that a graduation photo shoot will be held this afternoon. It is particularly important to emphasize that all students must wear their school uniforms, and students are permitted to bring their own mobile phones during the photo shoot."

After Chen Fang read the message word by word, an overwhelming surge of excitement welled up inside him.

He suddenly stood up, waving his arms excitedly and shouting to the people around him, "We're taking graduation photos this afternoon, which means no classes! That's great!"

However, his passionate appeal did not receive the enthusiastic response he had expected.

Shen Jia, who was just about to lie down for a short rest, was suddenly startled by the deafening shout.

Her brows furrowed, her face showing obvious displeasure, and she yelled at Chen, "I know, I know, why are you yelling so loudly? It's so annoying!"

At this moment, Shen Jia wasn't the only one casting angry and rebuking glances at Chen Fang. Guan Qing and Jing Yi also turned around, their faces filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.

Their gazes were like sharp knives, piercing straight at Chen, as if they were about to tear him to pieces.

Chen Fang clearly realized that he had angered everyone. He scratched his head awkwardly and quickly sat back down in his seat.

Then, like an ostrich, he quickly buried his head in his arms, closed his eyes, and pretended that nothing had happened.

Guan Yu fell asleep in Jing Yi's arms. Jing Yi stared at the girl in his arms, not sleepy at all, his eyes full of love for her.

After a while, people slowly made their way into the classroom. Seeing that some people were sleeping, the newcomers instinctively lowered their footsteps.

Time passed slowly, and the classroom gradually became noisy.

Guan Yu was awakened by the noise. She slowly opened her eyes, then climbed out of Jing Yi's arms, sat up straight, and looked confused.

Then she turned to look at Jing Yi beside her and found that he was not sleepy at all and was full of energy, so she couldn't help but ask, "Yi, aren't you sleepy?"

Looking at Guan Yu, who had just woken up and whose eyes were still filled with tears, and who seemed dazed, Jing Yi smiled and said, "I'm not sleepy."

Upon hearing his answer, Guan Yu nodded while yawning, only then realizing that everyone in the class had already arrived. Surprised, she quickly moved closer to Jing Yi and whispered, "Why didn't you call me sooner?"

"I wanted you to sleep a little longer," Jing Yi said, gently patting Guan Yu's head as she leaned closer to him, looking a little shy.

Guan Yu felt a warmth in her heart after hearing Jing Yi's words, but she was still a little embarrassed, since everyone was watching.

She gently nudged Jing Yi, signaling him not to get so close.

At this moment, the homeroom teacher, Li Xiang, walked into the classroom. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he announced that the graduation photo shoot was about to begin.

Then the students stood up one after another, excitedly discussing what poses to take the photo.
