I was the leader of the righteous path in high school.

the next day.

Gu Yun got up very early, before the alarm clock even went off, he sprang out of bed with a jolt.

I slacked off yesterday, and I feel more energetic today.

There's no need to worry about not getting enough sleep; everything seems just right.

Gu Yun remembered that Chen Zhizhi usually went back to school very early, almost like a day student, rain or shine.

Everyone thinks she's a well-behaved girl, and she looks very cute—the kind of sweet girl who makes hearts flutter online. (That's about it, she's very pretty.)

A sense of youthfulness.

Well, it's not about the youthful feeling of necessarily wearing a green hat, but rather the genuine vigor and naivety of youth.

Gu Yun really enjoyed this feeling a couple of years ago. He wasn't exactly attracted to Chen Zhizhi, but he was definitely lusting after her beauty.

But after seeing her, like a little witch, discussing with that high school thug how to beat up her stepmother, he wasn't so tempted anymore.

Can't be bothered.

These kinds of girls are terrifying. They smile at you on the surface, but you never know what tricks they might have up their sleeves.

This is called social skill.

He recalled the description of Chen Zhizhi from the mission description.

The Holy Maiden of the Demonic Path.

That's really true.

Su Nianshan is a holy maiden of a sect and is a powerful figure at the school.

The other person's seemingly innocent yet cunning nature is indeed very suitable for the world of demonic cultivation; they have the demeanor befitting someone from the demonic path.

Having not eaten breakfast for a long time since being a senior in high school, Gu Yun got up very early this morning and arrived at the cafeteria with great enthusiasm, ready to try the food typical of boarding students.

What kind of delicious food can we eat?

Generally speaking, when senior high school students who commute to school wake up, their parents have already cooked for them.

However, Gu Yun's family is a single-parent family, and his elderly mother has to earn money to support the family, so she has no time to cook for him.

Being given a Want Want rice cracker in the morning is a blessing, but being fed a Daliyuan mini bread makes you want to kneel down in gratitude.

Gu Yun used to think that he didn't have a good brain because he didn't get to eat breakfast every morning, so he could only spend the morning in a daze.

But now I understand that this was just self-deception, a way of shifting blame onto others.

Of course, the cafeteria food he had high hopes for in the morning was actually quite average.

Perhaps for health reasons or something else, they usually only serve millet porridge and fried dough sticks in the morning, and occasionally tofu pudding and steamed buns.

Gu Yun went to the window and ordered a bowl of tofu pudding and fried dough sticks, which cost five yuan.

It's economical and affordable, at least for ordinary families.

He found an empty four-person table and sat down. Just as he was about to eat, his eyes caught sight of a figure that surprised him.

Chen Zhizhi was sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, wearing glasses, with the same tofu pudding and fried dough sticks in front of her.

She seemed unaware that anyone was watching her, and ate a few bites of food absentmindedly.

With a thought, Gu Yun picked up his food and walked over there.

As he walked up to her, he feigned surprise and said, "Chen Zhizhi?"

He was about to go up and say hello, hoping to gain some favor with Chen Zhizhi.

The incident should have happened today. As a teenager raised under the red flag, he couldn't let Chen Zhizhi go astray.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Zhizhi looked up and immediately frowned: "...Who are you?"

Boom!

Gu Yun felt as if his heart had shattered, and his heartbeat slowed down.

It's not that my heart is broken.

It's anger.

We've been classmates for three years. Even if you can't remember my name, you should at least have some impression of me, right?

What does it mean that this person, whom we've never met before, is acting as if responding to a sudden attempt to strike up a conversation?

Gu Yun didn't know that for someone like him, who was practically invisible in the class, having a rumored girlfriend wasn't enough to reach the girls' ears.

Besides, it's the cafeteria in the morning, which is usually only frequented by boarding students. Gu Yun, a day student, is a rare sight indeed.

If Wang Ziyuan came to talk to Chen Zhizhi, Chen Zhizhi would recognize him immediately.

After all, the last one is so dazzling that no one will remember the fourth-to-last peak; they will only remember Mount Everest.

Seeing that Gu Yun didn't speak immediately, she frowned and said, "I'm sorry... I've forgotten a bit about elementary school."

"You were my elementary school classmate?"

"..."

Sister, what you just said hurt me even more.

Gu Yun suppressed his speechless feelings and explained, "I am Gu Yun."

"It's your high school classmate."

When the name Gu Yun was mentioned, Chen Zhizhi remembered that there seemed to be such a group of people in her class.

He couldn't help but exclaim "Oh!" in sudden realization, then said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I've been having trouble with a math problem lately, my brain is completely fried."

"Please sit down, I'll finish eating soon."

Haha, by doing this you've made it clear that you don't know me at all, and you're not even bothering to come up with a plausible excuse.

Gu Yun sat opposite her and took a couple of sips of tofu pudding.

Fortunately, the tofu pudding in Los Angeles is all savory, otherwise he really couldn't imagine whether sweet tofu pudding would be edible.

It would be perfect if there was some chili oil in this tofu pudding.

He finished his meal quickly and sat down to scroll through his phone.

Even Chen Zhizhi, who wanted to speed up her eating, was surprised by how fast he ate. The spoon she was using to eat tofu pudding froze in mid-air, as if she was savoring the moment he was eating.

Soak the fried dough sticks in the tofu pudding and eat them in two bites, then pick up the tofu pudding and drink it all in one gulp.

Most importantly, you must eat while strolling along the edge; that way, you'll clearly be a kid who came from a big city to the countryside.

After Gu Yun interrupted her, Chen Zhizhi stopped eating in a haphazard way.

After finishing her breakfast at her usual pace, she took out a pack of tissues, handed one to Gu Yun, and then took another to wipe her mouth.

Gu Yun thanked him and stared intently at the fragrant tissue.

If a naive young male chef received this tissue in his first year of high school, he would probably begin a three-year unrequited love affair.

Appreciating Chen Zhizhi's thoughtfulness, Gu Yong wiped his mouth with a tissue and said to Chen Zhizhi, "Let's go, shall we?"

"No, thank you, Gu Yun. I have something to do. You can go first."

Luocheng No. 2 High School is quite strict. Although they don't suspect every instance of boys and girls being in a relationship just because they walk side by side, they still keep a close eye on these kinds of feelings between boys and girls.

Gu Yun understood that Chen Zhizhi didn't want to cause trouble for no reason, so he nodded and said, "I'll be going now."

Chen Zhizhi waved to him, though it was hard to tell what she was feeling, but when it comes to pretty people, the gesture is always sweet.

Only after Gu turned and left did she finally let out a long sigh.

Unable to contain her frustration, she smacked her forehead and muttered, "Have I become this forgetful lately... I can't even remember my classmates..."

"It's all that woman's fault... I haven't heard from her lately, it's so annoying..."
