Across the street from the school, a very pretty girl wearing a black down jacket smiled and waved at Chen Dong, who had just left the school gate.

The cold wind couldn't hide the warm smile on her face, which was also tinged with excitement and a little nervousness, like that of an old friend who hadn't seen Chen Dong for many years.

"Han Ning'er?"

Chen Dong looked in the direction of the sound, and was initially stunned, but then he managed to glean the relevant information from his mind.

This is his junior high school classmate. Like Liu Yumo, the three of them are best friends. They were in the same school and class when they first entered high school.

Han Ning'er's name sounds gentle, but she was known as the "big sister" at Qingjiang Middle School. Back then, she was even fiercer than Chen Dong in fights and helped Chen Dong fight many times.

However, Chen Dong broke off all relationships with other women in pursuit of Shu Ya, and gradually stopped playing with Han Ning'er. Later, for some reason, Han Ning'er transferred schools.

At the time, Chen Dong only had Shu Ya on his mind and didn't ask Han Ning'er why she transferred schools. He didn't take the initiative to find her during the two years of high school, and their relationship seemed to gradually fade away.

Unexpectedly, Han Ning'er suddenly came to find him.

"Xiao Mo said you're still studying with Ye Wanwan at school. I thought I wouldn't see you." Han Ning'er ran over with a bright smile.

Chen Dong subconsciously took out his phone and, sure enough, there was a missed call from Liu Yumo. He had just forgotten to turn it off during class because it was on silent.

"Normally, she would come out around 10:30, and Ye Wanwan would take the last bus." Chen Dong coughed twice, after all, the original owner of this body hadn't acted very loyally.

"Ye Wanwan, how's Dong-ge's studying? Does he have any talent in this area?" Han Ning'er greeted Ye Wanwan and asked with a smile, seemingly very concerned about Chen Dong's grades.

"Dong-ge is very talented." Ye Wanwan's eyes lit up when she spoke of Chen Dong's learning.

Actually, she wasn't afraid of Han Ning'er. On the contrary, before Chen Dong came to his senses, if she had to thank one classmate throughout high school, it would be Han Ning'er.

Because Han Ning'er was the only one who spoke up for her when Chen Dong or Liu Yumo tried to bully her, even though it wasn't Han Ning'er's intention, she just couldn't stand that Chen Dong listened to Shu Ya in everything.

But it did indeed help her.

"Really?"

Han Ning'er looked Chen Dong up and down with a look of curiosity. "I didn't realize that Brother Dong was actually good at studying."

"Brother Dong, Sister Han, I... I'm going home now."

Ye Wanwan knew that Han Ning'er must have come specifically to see Chen Dong, so she didn't stay to disturb her.

Chen Dong handed her the schoolbag and backpack.

The two of them were left speechless.

After all, the original owner was not a decent person, and had not been in contact with Han Ning'er for two years, so he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Han Ning'er, however, seemed completely at ease with Chen Dong, staring at him and waving her hand in front of him. "What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing."

Chen Dongqian chuckled, "Um, where do you live? I'll take you home."

"I live at school." Han Ning'er's smile faded, and her enthusiasm waned.

"Oh, shall I take you back to school?"

Do you know which school I attend?

"Uh~"

Chen Dong felt embarrassed and ashamed. His longtime friend Han Ning'er had gone to the trouble of coming to see him, but he didn't even know anything about her, or which school she was attending.

Han Ning'er's smile vanished. She lowered her head and walked forward, her back view exuding sadness.

Chen Dong pushed his bicycle and followed.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere grew increasingly awkward.

Chen Dong knew he couldn't let the awkward atmosphere continue, otherwise they might part ways and lose even their friendship.

In his memory, Han Ning'er and Liu Yumo were both his best friends. Although they were quite mischievous in junior high school, their friendship was definitely genuine and deep.

Moreover, Han Ning'er had helped the original owner a lot, and like Liu Yumo, she was truly there for him when needed.

But the original owner of this body was such a bastard that he broke off relations with Han Ning'er for Shu Ya's sake, so he didn't care about Han Ning'er's transfer to another school, and he didn't even contact her afterwards.

That's really awful.

"Ning'er~"

Following his memory of how he addressed her, Chen Dong opened his mouth to say something, but Han Ning'er spoke first, asking, "Brother Dong, are you really going to forget me?"

hiss~

Chen Dong felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart. Although Han Ning'er had her back to him, he could imagine her heartbroken expression, as if she had been abandoned.

But Chen Dong was very glad that Han Ning'er came to him and asked him this question, which clearly showed that she had not forgotten their friendship.

This friendship isn't over; he still has a chance to salvage it.

"Ning'er".

Taking a deep breath, Chen Dong apologized very sincerely, "I'm sorry, I was blinded by greed and forgot about friendship before. I hope we can still be friends, okay?"

Han Ning'er suddenly stopped.

Chen Dong stopped as well, waiting for Han Ning'er's response.

"Dong-ge, have you really let go of Shuya?" Han Ning'er asked instead of answering.

"Mozi should have told you everything, right? I've completely let it go," Chen Dong said.

Han Ning'er knew, of course; otherwise, she wouldn't be here.

Although Chen Dong wanted to distance himself from Shu Ya from the beginning of his pursuit of her, she maintained contact with Liu Yumo and often inquired about Chen Dong's situation.

When Liu Yumo told her about Chen Dong and Shu Ya, she was both happy and worried, and eventually couldn't help but come to find Chen Dong.

Upon hearing Chen Dong put it down, a smile appeared on her face.

Turning around, she extended her hand. "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Han Ning'er, Chen Dong's younger sister."

Chen Dong smiled, reached out and shook Han Ning'er's hand, "My name is Chen Dong, Han Ning'er's forever big brother."

Han Ning'er smiled brightly, jumped up and down happily, and asked, "Brother Dong, are you really going to study hard?"

"Mm." Chen Dong nodded.

"Then I can tutor you too," Han Ning'er volunteered.

"you?"

Chen Dong was surprised. In his memory, all three of them were poor students, and Han Ning'er was definitely his strongest contender for last place. Now she was going to tutor him?

"Who does Dong-ge look down on? One should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation, let alone after 762 days."

Chen Dong suddenly realized that this girl actually remembered the number of days so clearly, which showed that she really cared about this friendship.

He was very fortunate to have a few good friends in his life, and it was his luck to be able to salvage this friendship.

"It seems you're doing very well now," Chen Dong said with a smile.

"Of course, I'm ranked in the top 30 of my grade at Qingjiang No. 1 High School," Han Ning'er said with a touch of pride.

The name "No. 1 Middle School" carries immense weight, signifying the strongest middle school in Qingjiang. Qingjiang Middle School is merely a junior compared to No. 1 Middle School; if Ye Wanwan were placed there, she would likely be on the same level as Han Ning'er.

Who would have thought that the former underachiever would become a top student?

That's truly impressive.

"You've left me and Mozi behind and are taking off all by yourself," Chen Dong joked in a familiar way.

"Hehe, I can take you flying!" Han Ning'er said happily.

"I just made a bet with Lao Yang that I have to get over 300 points on the final mock exam, or I'll drop out of school unconditionally. Can you take me there?" Chen Dong asked.

Han Ning'er's smile froze.
