Chapter 02

With a joyful expression, Lin Ruohan, sitting in the back of Song Anchun's car, naturally waved to Yisheng and called out, "Yisheng Jie, hurry up and catch up!"

The teacher earnestly had a conversation with Lin Ruohan, and the outcome was the organization of a mutual assistance group within the class, where students with better grades would tutor those with poorer grades. It is unclear whose idea it was to adopt the extreme cross-method, pairing the best with the worst, the second best with the second worst, and so on, connecting ten students in this manner. Therefore, as the top student, Song Anchun was assigned to tutor the student with the lowest grades, Lin Ruohan.

Hmm. "He nodded throughout his life, but his mind was elsewhere

Since then, the two rarely walked together, even changing their seats for convenience in helping each other. One could say their only intersection during the day was on the way home after evening self-study. They pushed their bikes out of the bike shed and walked through the campus. One person remained silent for a long time, and Song Anchen could no longer bear it, asking: "How has your studying been lately? He Jin explains the exercises quite well."

"Yisheng, what has been going on with you lately?" Song Anchen sent her a text message

In the second test, remarkably, Song Anchun scored a uniform seventy in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, which is a significant drop compared to his previous near-perfect scores, drawing the attention of the teachers. Meanwhile, Lin Ruohan, who had been tutoring him for nearly a month, still ranked last. The teacher, anxious about the situation, decided to withdraw the tutoring plan after realizing that not only did he fail to help others, but he also regressed himself. Yisheng once asked him if he was intentionally performing poorly, as she found it hard to believe that he could score so low.

Throughout their lives, Song Anchen and I have always passed by each other without a sideways glance, treating each other as complete strangers. Their relationship has consistently stood at the far end of the clouds, separated by the entire galaxy.

He Jin also chimed in, "The two of them are indeed a match made in heaven."

Ask her why she is happy? Think about it, there is someone who is not only the best in appearance but also ranks first in achievements, and although her character may not be the best, she is known for being a warm and gentle childhood friend. How can she remain indifferent like a fool?

She is unreasonable, for she is driven mad by jealousy

Song Anchen smiled without answering

After believing he had lost in love for a lifetime and wandering alone for a few days, the kind-hearted He Jin acted as a chivalrous escort to take him back. Every time the two of them went to the bike shed to retrieve their bicycles, they would see the well-behaved Lin Ruohan standing outside the shed door, along with the smiling Song Anchen.

At that moment, Yi Sheng sat next to Song Anchen and nudged his arm with her elbow, asking, "Do you think she is beautiful?"

Song Anchen said: "Very beautiful"

In the world of her life, the one person she least wanted to mention was Lin Ruohan. This woman seemed to be the calamity destined for her; since her appearance, all the beauty in her life had been utterly destroyed

And throughout her life, she was unwilling to show weakness, deliberately getting close to He Jin and ignoring Song Anchen's occasional glares when he approached.

Lin Ruohan merely stuck out her tongue, wearing an adorable smile. Throughout her life, she had never dared to look back, only catching glimpses of Song Anchun's expression, which was one of impatience. Because of this, she felt happy for several entire class periods

Isn't it too beautiful, did you think you saw a ghost? Thinking like this throughout one's life, it becomes uncomfortable in the heart

The improvement of the relationship between the two individuals occurs when Yè Tiānmíng, the father of Yīshēng, goes to Sòng Ānchén's house for drinks. Upon returning home, Yīshēng finds a note left by his father and, somewhat reluctantly, goes to knock on Sòng Ānchén's door. The door is opened by Sòng Ānchén, who seems to have anticipated Yīshēng's visit. He steps aside to make way for her to enter.

Lin Ruohan's deskmate is a bookworm with a face full of acne. Although he admires Lin Ruohan's legendary persona, he is completely absorbed in his studies and shows no reaction. In contrast, the male and female classmates surrounding her eagerly try to get close to her, and Lin Ruohan responds to each of them in a friendly manner

Song Anchen's face immediately turned ashen, and he turned to Lin Ruohan, saying, "I told you, don't call me brother"

Originally a world for two, suddenly a third person appeared. This princess, named Song Anchen, followed Song Anchen to the bike shed after evening study, stubbornly insisting on sitting on Song Anchen's bike as if throwing a tantrum.

Lin Ruohan, who had been sitting behind her for a long time, no longer sought out Song Anchen. It was unclear whether it was due to self-awareness or a warning from Song Anchen, but each time she could only silently watch them pair off, wanting to speak yet holding back.

At that time, Song Anchen was working on a math problem when he was disturbed by a classmate, unable to lift his head to look at the transfer student, and was suddenly taken aback. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost. The classmate was quite puzzled and nudged him again with his arm.

A life that had been walking unconsciously suddenly jolted by a face that appeared out of nowhere, taking a step back, "Song Anchen, what are you doing"

Song Anchen let out a heavy sigh, "I really didn't know you were so petty." He couldn't help but laugh again, "Are you not angry now?"

Yisheng immediately hugged He Jin's arm and bit it. He Jin had a mournful expression; he was used to it. Whenever Yisheng was unhappy, he would bite his arm, and He Jin had grown accustomed to it. Song Anchen observed all of this, his gaze filled with an indescribable depth.

Lin Ruohan moved into Song Anchen's house, and the two lived under the same roof. From then on, every outing always included the three of them. He Jin once joked that she was a third wheel for life. And increasingly, she felt the gaze of the crowd telling her that she was indeed a third wheel

She hesitantly answered the phone, and a deep voice from the other end said, "Come to my room"

It is unclear how long she had been crying; in any case, she fell asleep. She was awakened by a sudden knock on the door. She walked over to open the door and saw Song Anchen standing outside, panting and grinning foolishly at her

She exclaimed, "You men are just like this, forgetting loyalty when you see beauty, rushing towards the pretty ones!" Her tone was very harsh, leaving Song Anchen stunned. Without saying a word, Song Anchen got on his bicycle and rode away. He left behind a remark, "Ye Yisheng, you are unreasonable."

Song Anchen smiled and said, "Alright, I will accompany you"

Song Anchen is quite a competent childhood friend. When she does not return home, he accompanies her. The two study together in the study room at noon, attend classes in the classroom, and come and go together, returning to the past.

Every time she saw him, she would get angry. With a wave of her hand, she intended to close the door, but it was forcibly blocked by Song Anchen. She said, "What do you want to do?"

Ah? It has been a lifetime of shock. When will Uncle Song have his second spring?

Evidently, the power of the masses is formidable. Whenever Song Anchen and Lin Ruohan enter together, there is an uproar in the classroom, causing the beautiful Lin to blush repeatedly. One can only watch this unfold, feeling a pent-up frustration with no outlet.

It was only after a lifetime that she discovered there was no trace of Song Anchun in the living room. Hesitantly, she knocked on the door and entered, only to see Song Anchun sitting on the bed, grinning foolishly at her. ... It was just that smile that reconciled the two of them ...

The two families moved to Fengshan Community during the first year of high school, and they remained neighbors across from each other. In truth, Yisheng never loved going home, as home no longer felt like a home. Her mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer and is currently undergoing treatment in the hospital. Her father is busy with work and also has to take care of her mother, while Yisheng is still in school, leaving her alone at home.

Song Anchen, seeing her like this, tilted his head in a tentative manner and coaxed her, saying: "What is it that makes you unhappy?"

The relationship between the two has improved again, but it did not last long. Lin Ruohan has already entered the picture, and there is no way to shake her off. Since Lin Ruohan's mother married Song Anchun's father, Song Anchun cannot abandon his sister.

She returned home, sitting alone on the sofa, hugging her knees in a state of confusion. She stared blankly at the empty house, transformed from a once-happy princess into a fallen princess, and one who had been abandoned by her prince. Overwhelmed by a sense of despair, she buried her head and began to cry.

Ranked fifth from the bottom in the class for a lifetime, paired with He Jin, who is ranked fifth.

Yisheng cast a sidelong glance and cheerfully picked up Song Anchen's homework to admire it. Song Anchen had excellent handwriting, and his homework accuracy was also very high, making it quite a good choice to copy his work. Yisheng actually regretted choosing the science track; she was utterly clueless when it came to mathematics and the sciences. However, in order to apply to medical school, she had no choice but to give it her all.

From Yisheng's perspective, she was not familiar with her at all, and such a warm greeting felt rather ostentatious. She pouted and reluctantly followed behind them. When they reached the fork in the road, Song Anchen's car came to a stop, and he turned to Yisheng and said: "Yisheng, accompany me to see Ruohan off"

She did not reply, no matter how many messages were sent later, she never responded with even a single word

Song Anchen approached, took out the homework notebook from his backpack, and threw it to her, saying, "With your attitude towards studying, how can you expect to become a doctor?"

Rumors began to circulate within the school: the campus heartthrob Song Anchen had broken up with his childhood sweetheart and turned to the beautiful Lin Ruohan. Meanwhile, the childhood sweetheart was not to be outdone and had found a new love.

Indeed, Ye has liked Song Anchen for a long time. From kindergarten, where they held hands in their little shorts on their way home, to high school, where they rode bicycles home together, they have spent so much time together that they have become a well-known couple in the school. Although Song Anchen would frown slightly every time he heard such rumors, he never outright denied them, leading everyone to believe that he had tacitly accepted it.

As soon as she entered, she saw her father drinking. Ye Tianming, upon seeing his daughter arrive, happily beckoned her over and handed her a box. Yisheng looked at Ye Tianming with curiosity. Ye Tianming smiled and said: "This is a mobile phone issued by the company, the latest model. I heard it can take pictures. Since Old Song gave a phone to his son, I thought I would give one to my daughter."

Everyone believes that Lin Ruohan is a talented woman, but unfortunately, her brain is extremely inept at mathematics, physics, and chemistry, reaching an unparalleled level of incompetence. She scored 17 in mathematics, 29 in physics, and 36 in chemistry, all of which are the lowest in her class

Which of your eyes saw me getting angry? I am just tired and do not wish to engage in further pointless conversation with you

Upon opening the box, she discovered a high-definition camera phone that had recently been praised to the skies in magazines. She thanked her father, and suddenly the phone rang. To her surprise, the caller ID displayed the name Song Anchen.

At that time, their city had not yet been developed, and people coming from the capital were already a novelty. Moreover, the presence of a talented and beautiful woman made her the center of attention. The teacher assigned her to sit behind Yisheng; she was tall, towering half a head above him.

Seeing that you are not happy, I inquired about the reason

Can one be happy for a lifetime? Every day, watching two people whispering and laughing together, the treatment that originally belonged to her has been completely taken over by that woman whom she is extremely jealous of, and she simply cannot bear it

With a pout, she naturally found no reason to be angry. She turned around and sat back on the sofa, raising her eyes to look at Song Anchen, "Have you finished your homework?" Feeling guilty, she had no choice but to find a topic to discuss.

Ye Tianming glanced at his phone and burst into laughter, "An Chen is calling you."

Pouting and glaring at Song Anchen, Song Anchen continued, "What it means is that my dad and her mom have gotten together."

Their first sentence sounded incredibly familiar, and she poked Song Anchen's back and said, "Anchen, would you ride me home on your bike tonight?"

Until the first mathematics test

Later, she began to leave for school a step earlier than them, eat a bit faster, and the same after school; she did not want to continue like this.

Look, a beautiful woman who is not only friendly, talented, and attractive but also comes from a notable background. What immense pressure this is. It shouldn't be a matter of a lifetime, yet Lin Ruohan insists on pursuing her childhood friend Song Anchen, which leaves her feeling quite conflicted.

Song Anchen gasped and asked, "What are you angry about?"

She has always wanted to ask throughout her life, but she fears that once she inquires, it will lead to awkwardness between them, so she has remained ambiguous, a kind of ambiguous relationship between childhood friends, always tinged with a sense of helplessness

Ruohan, how affectionate you are! She shot him a disdainful glance, saying, "I have no time to be a third wheel." After saying that, she rode her bike back home first. She didn't dare to look back and just pedaled furiously on her way home.

Standing on the sidelines for a lifetime, I find myself resembling a third wheel. Watching the awkward Song Anchen finally give in, I feel quite displeased as I ride my bicycle behind them.

Hello, Song Anchun! I have decided that I will no longer go home for lunch; I want to study diligently at school

She is not as beautiful as Lin Ruohan; when she walks on the street, she always squeezes to the side. While riding her bicycle, she always follows behind, silently watching the two intimate people in the car ahead. She feels so superfluous.

Lin Ruohan first appeared when she had just entered her second year of high school. She was a transfer student, and as soon as she entered their class, she became the class beauty, a princess in temperament. Her naturally long black hair flowed like black satin, and her fair skin, tinged with a hint of red, accentuated her princess-like aura. Most striking were her large, sparkling eyes, which made her exceptionally beautiful

That incident was not considered a major argument, but neither of the two backed down. Originally, they were supposed to have dinner together, but due to the cold war, it fell through. Song Anchen and Lin Ruohan ended up having a meal together, and later returned home together after evening study.

After the two individuals acquired mobile phones, they often engaged in the idle pastime of sending text messages back and forth, finding great amusement in the exchange. At times, a simple "Hello" would elicit a response of "Hmm." This exemplifies the wastefulness that accompanies wealth.

Lin Ruohan confidently introduced herself on stage, stating that she had returned to her hometown from the capital. She excelled in dancing, had appeared on television and won awards, and could also play the piano. The more one listened to her introduction, the more one felt a sense of gloom. This was due to the innate jealousy that girls possess; she herself had no talents, except for her love of food, and her only skill was eating. She had studied painting for a few years, but her efforts were neither here nor there, unlike Lin Ruohan, who had passed the sixth level in piano and won awards in dancing.

Song Anchen wore a helpless expression. With a drooping face, he said: "I confess openly, that Lin Ruohan will eventually become my sister."
