wood has its spring

Early the next morning, He Yao walked into the campus with more than 20 foreign students.

Different from when he was with Nanmu, He Yao at this time was walking in front of the team, striding forward, exuding an elite demeanor in every gesture.

Standing in front of Nanmu, He Yao evoked a gentlemanly smile.

Nanmu also smiled and nodded slightly, his brows were full of elegance and calmness.

The two spoke empty polite words like strangers they had never met, and the etiquette was just right.

But Nanmu didn't pay attention, Qi Quan, who came with him, was staring at He Yao with shock and fear in his eyes.

He Yao glanced at Qi Quan casually, and raised his chin provocatively.

Nanmu glanced at Qi Quan suspiciously, but didn't take it seriously.

However, the appearance of He Yao really brought a huge impact to Qi Quan.

He seemed to want to say something, but his voice was stuck in his throat and he couldn't make it out.

It's him?

How could it be him?

———————————————————————————————————

After a busy day, Nanmu and He Yao walked side by side on the quiet street.

"Nanmu, I have found out who is following you." He Yao said suddenly.

Nanmu was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Who?"

"Qi Quan, your president." He Yao took out a few photos and handed them to Nanmu, "I asked someone to hack your school's network and checked the surveillance. On the day you received the photos, Qi Quan sent a message to the suggestion box I voted in an identical envelope. And in almost all surveillance, Qi Quan will appear near you."

Nanmu took the photos, all of them were screenshots from surveillance. Although they were not clear, Qi Quan could still be recognized at a glance.

Thinking about it carefully, Qi Quan seems to have come to school on time every day since the day he received the photo. Before that, it was extremely difficult to see Qi Quan.

But for some reason, Nanmu always felt that things were not that simple, and didn't want to draw conclusions like this: "Is it possible that it's just a coincidence?"

"You held a sports meeting that day, and Qi Quan participated in the [-]-meter race." He Yao reminded.

Nanmu suddenly remembered that hot afternoon, a boy who had just finished the competition waved at him, and then disappeared.

"Who would be so excited to say hello to an unfamiliar person, and then run away?" He Yao said while looking at Nanmu.

Nanmu frowned, still hesitating: "Although it's true, I still feel like I've missed something. Besides, Qi Quan didn't have a reason to follow me, I...I have to think again."

He Yao pursed his lips, let out a long sigh, and remained silent.

The surrounding air became quiet, and the two walked side by side, speechless all the way.

Soon, the two walked into a community and into a building.

"This is where I live now. It's very close to the school. During this time, you will live here first, and then go back after you graduate." Nanmu took out the key and opened the door.

He Yao looked at the surrounding environment.

Peeling wall coverings, advertisements all over the wall, and yellowed electric meters.

— but the house is surprisingly clean.

The room is small and the furniture is very simple, but it is arranged very neatly, and it is spotless. It looks very comfortable.

I knew that Nanmu would never let himself live too badly.

He Yao looked at Nanmu's back and laughed unconsciously.

"What's wrong?" Nanmu asked back.

"It's nothing, it's just that you haven't changed at all." He Yao replied.

"Really? Isn't that very good?" Nanmu hugged a quilt to the sofa, "Okay, you sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the sofa."

"Don't be so troublesome, just sleep on the same bed as when I was a child." He Yao forced the quilt back to the bed, "I don't feel crowded, and I won't move around at night."

Nanmu had no choice but to agree when he heard that He Yao had said so.

"That's great." He Yao grinned happily, like a child eating candy.

"You haven't changed at all, there's really nothing you can do about it." Nanmu smiled lightly, as if thinking of his childhood.

When He Yao heard these words, his eyes suddenly darkened.

haven't i changed?

No, I'm not the same person I used to be.

I'm sorry, Namki.
