I desperately controlled the corners of my mouth that were rising, reaching out my hand, yet I hesitated to remove the hands that were covering my eyes, thinking that I was dreaming

The class will begin soon

Thinking of this, I interrupted Xiaole's complaints and looked at her excitedly: "Do you know? Gu Yichen is actually at this school!"

This is clearly Xiao Le's voice

I inhaled gently

However, I am truly happy to be together with Xiao Le

Her gaze did not linger on anyone, yet everyone's gaze was fixed upon her

Such a face... even if one wishes to forget, it is difficult

Gazing at that expressionless yet exceptionally beautiful face, a strange feeling occupied my heart

Xiao Le looked at me with a puzzled expression, her mouth wide open. After a moment, as if she remembered something, her eyes immediately widened even larger than copper bells, and her voice rose in pitch.

The sunlight suddenly flooded into my eyes, causing me to squint a little in discomfort, yet the smile on my face remained undiminished

The owner of those hands seemed to understand my thoughts, gently and slowly loosening their grip...

I am astonished by such a change, yet I find that everyone is looking in the same direction

I gently withdrew my gaze, smiled softly at Xiao Le, and tapped her lunchbox with my chopsticks: "Let's eat."

It is indeed true

After everyone's self-introduction, I learned her name—Su Xiyu

I stared blankly at the still smiling Xiao Le in front of me, hardly understanding what she had said

I quickly returned to my seat and made a victory gesture towards Xiaole

Good news? Looking at her expression, I couldn't help but furrow my brows and ponder carefully, "Could it be that you found a wallet?"

I suddenly recalled encountering Gu Yichen and Ye Lanluo on campus before

That voice carried a deliberately feigned hoarseness, yet still possessed an undeniable sweetness.

I followed everyone's gaze towards the classroom door

After a long time, I rubbed my ears, stiffly turned my neck, and caught a glimpse of the seating chart posted on the blackboard. I quickly sprang up from my seat like a spring and rushed towards the seating chart

Indeed, it is Gu Yichen and Su Xiyu

Xiao Le furrowed her brows tightly, originally intending to say something, but her gaze suddenly fixed on a certain direction

Why do I have to compare everything with her

Xiao Le curled her lips, yet her gaze persistently darted in that direction: "Zi Mu, do you know? I have heard quite a lot about those three individuals!"

Who do you think I am

Suddenly, I involuntarily shivered

The golden sunlight spills onto the paper that emits a faint scent of ink, and on the seating chart, the names Tong Xiaole and Xia Zimu are placed side by side

deskmate

Suddenly, Xiaole, who had been focused on eating, brightened up and nudged me with her elbow, signaling me to look in a certain direction

Is it the guy I met at the café last time

this beautiful and familiar face

When I breathlessly arrived at my classroom and had just sat down, suddenly a pair of soft hands gently covered my eyes

After finally enduring a chaotic morning that left me restless, Xiaole and I slowly walked towards the cafeteria, holding our lunch boxes.

It is the girl who appeared with Gu Yichen at the café that day

Upon seeing the slender figure at the classroom door, I couldn't help but let out a very low gasp, and then quickly covered my mouth.

Xiao Le looked at me with a sly smile and said, "You two are truly fated to meet."

After a great deal of effort, we finally found a spot amidst the throngs of people. Exhausted, we sat down in our seats and listlessly ate our food

Xiao Le, what are you doing here? Aren't you... I patted the seat beside me, signaling her to sit down, but I was filled with deep confusion.

It sounds much more elegant than my name

The originally noisy classroom fell silent in that instant

Wrong! She helplessly crossed her arms and drew a large "×" in the air. "How could you think of a wallet? Really... Zimu, we are desk mates!"

At that moment, a strange premonition seized my heart, and as I turned my head, I saw that familiar figure...

Is it because of ... ... Gu Yichen

The gentle sunlight spilled over the girl's fair face, her cheeks adorned with a rose-like enticing pink. A pair of pitch-black eyes surveyed her classmates in the classroom with a hint of indifference, and then she walked in, absorbed in her own thoughts amidst the silent atmosphere

However, didn't Xiao Le get admitted to a school in the suburbs?

Seeing Xiao Le shouting without regard for her image, I could only helplessly nod my head

The detestable girl has actually deceived me again on purpose

I tugged at Xiao Le's hem

Hearing such a sound, joy occupies my entire heart

The surroundings have turned dark

Xiao Le raised an eyebrow mysteriously and said, "Haha, that was just to tease you; I merely wanted to give you a surprise! Moreover, I have good news to share with you."

Gu Yichen

She also appeared very happy, yet she kept complaining that I did not notice it earlier

The girl in front of me with a smiling face is indeed Xiao Le

I hurriedly shook my head, trying to drive away all these chaotic thoughts from my mind, and made an effort to focus entirely on the class.

Recalling the encounter with Gu Yichen in the morning, I lowered my head in sadness: "But he doesn't remember me at all."

She turned around seriously, indicating that she still remembered what happened that day
