The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

"Phew, get out of class is finally over!"

Wen Yao rubbed her slightly sore neck and put the notes she had just taken into her desk.

She turned to look at Xu Xi, who was still scribbling in her notebook.

She only took two pages of notes in this class, while Xu Xi seemed to have filled four or five pages.

"Xu Xi, this knowledge was taught in the first year of high school, so it's okay if you don't remember it."

Xu Xi simply smiled faintly at her and continued with what she was doing.

"Hmm... what a strange person."

Wen Yao muttered to herself.

During the nearly two hours they spent together, she barely heard her deskmate utter a single word.

Oh no, there was one sentence: after receiving the book, Xu Xi said thank you to her.

Perhaps it's because of their aloof personalities; there are a few classmates who don't like to talk and have a very low profile.

Apart from her, the class monitor, almost no one would notice them.

He doesn't get listed in the academic rankings, he's never seen at events, and his name isn't even registered in the student organizations.

Only on duty days that everyone is required to participate in can you see them diligently doing their assigned tasks.

"Song Jiayi, going out to take a shower?"

Xu Bowen turned around and whistled.

"You go ahead, I'm not going."

Song Jiayi was writing furiously in her notebook.

He felt distracted throughout the entire class.

I didn't write down much of what the teacher said.

It wasn't until almost the end of get out of class that he borrowed his deskmate's notebook to fill in the gaps in his notes.

"Jiayi, long time no see! I brought you breakfast~"

A very hot girl walked into the classroom, stood next to Song Jiayi's desk, and placed several bags of exquisite pastries on his desk.

"Thanks."

Without looking up, Song Jiayi gave a brief thank you and continued writing notes.

"Hey, Zhao Lin, rain or shine!"

Xu Bowen looked at the girl and teased her.

"Of course, I missed Jiayi so much after not seeing her all summer."

Zhao Lin squatted down, put one arm around Song Jiayi, and raised her proud breasts, intentionally or unintentionally rubbing against his arm.

"My God, Godiva, this box is worth a week's worth of my food expenses."

Xu Bowen picked up one of the boxes of chocolates on Song Jiayi's table, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"As expected of Sister Lin, she's so magnanimous."

"Zhao Lin, this is Class 3 of Grade 11. If there's nothing else, please return to your own class."

Wen Yao frowned as she watched Zhao Lin's actions. She stood up and called out to Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin turned around and looked at Wen Yao with displeasure.

"Who do you think you are? Just because you're a class monitor, you think you're invincible? Even my dad has never disciplined me like this!"

The arguing interrupted Xu Xi's thoughts. She looked up and glanced uneasily at the two people.

"Zhao Lin!"

Song Jiayi noticed the unease in Xu Xi's eyes and quickly scolded Zhao Lin.

After being scolded by Song Jiayi, Zhao Lin immediately deflated.

"I'm sorry, Jiayi, I'm not usually like this, it's just that it's so hot today..."

"You should go back now, Zhao Lin, class is about to start."

Song Jiayi said coldly.

Zhao Lin nodded aggrievedly, turned around and glared fiercely at Wen Yao before leaving the classroom of Class 3, Grade 11.

"Sister Lin, did you run into a wall again today?"

Outside the entrance of Class 3, Grade 11, several boys and girls waiting there joked around.

"That damn idiot Wen Yao, she ruins everything I do!"

Zhao Lin gritted her teeth, her face so dark it looked like it was about to drip water.

"What's so difficult about that? Just ambush her after school and give her a good beating, right?"

One of the girls, who was chewing something, said.

Zhao Lin shook her head.

"No, if I cause any more trouble, my dad will cut off my allowance."

The girl sighed a few times.

"Why are you shushing me? Give me a hammer."

Zhao Lin took a betel nut from her pocket, put it in her mouth, and led the group of men and women away.

"Xu...Xu Xi, are you alright?"

Song Jiayi turned around and asked Xu Xi with a nervous expression.

Xu Xi paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head.

"Song Jiayi, could you please tell Zhao Lin to stop coming to our class?"

Wen Yao said to him with a displeased expression.

"I don't care what you do outside, but if she comes to our class and makes a scene again, I'll talk to Lao Yang."

"I understand, I'll tell her in a bit."

Song Jiayi agreed and placed the box of chocolates on Xu Xi's table.

"I'm so sorry, Xu Xi, I startled you just now."

"It's okay..."

Xu Xi replied and quickly returned the box of chocolates to Song Jiayi.

Her soft, sweet voice reached Song Jiayi's ears, and Song Jiayi felt her heart pounding.

"I don't like chocolate, but you can have it. Consider it compensation for what happened earlier."

Song Jiayi handed it back.

"Holy crap, Song Jiayi, didn't you say before summer vacation that your favorite food was..."

Xu Bowen exclaimed in surprise as if he had discovered a new continent, but soon his mouth was covered tightly by Song Jiayi.

"I'm allergic to chocolate..."

Xu Xi said in a low voice.

"Um... I don't like it either, why don't you throw it away?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Bowen's eyes widened immediately.

He sobbed through his covered mouth, looking aggrieved.

Seriously, you'd rather throw it away than share it with your good brother.

I've never eaten chocolate that costs over 300 yuan a box in my entire life!!

Xu Xi looked at the box of chocolates on the table and was momentarily at a loss.

"If none of you want it, then I will."

Wen Yao took the chocolate and quickly unwrapped it.

"You don't mind, do you, Xu Xi?"

Xu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shook her head.

She was overjoyed that someone had taken this hot potato away.

Wen Yao smiled and poured a few mouthfuls into her mouth.

"It's so sweet and delicious. I've never eaten such delicious chocolate before."

At this moment, Song Jiayi had a depressed expression.

Xu Bowen stared at the empty packaging box, his face ashen.

......

The morning classes ended quickly, and before we knew it, it was lunchtime.

"Let's go, Xu Xi, I'll take you to the cafeteria for lunch."

Wen Yao stretched and said to Xu Xi, who was still writing furiously.

"Okay, just a moment."

Xu Xi quickened the pace of her writing.

The last class was an English class, and because she lacked knowledge of the first-year high school curriculum, she couldn't understand much of the grammar the teacher explained.

As a result, she spent most of the class feeling like she was listening to gibberish.

"I'm going now~ When you come back after you eat, I'll lend you my notes to copy. If you go to the cafeteria late, there won't be any seats left."

Wen Yao blinked and shook Xu Xi's arm.

My goodness, so detailed.

She sighed silently to herself.

I wish I had arms that thin.

"Mmm, thank you."

Xu Xi closed her pen cap and left the classroom with Wen Yao.

"Stop writing, you bookworm!"

Xu Bowen turned around and flicked Song Jiayi on the forehead.

"If you're not enthusiastic about eating, you've got a screw loose. Get back to me and charge!"

Looking at the crooked handwriting on her notebook, Song Jiayi rubbed her temples helplessly.

What's wrong with me today? Why can't I concentrate on studying?
