The new teaching building is not far from the old teaching building. If you run fast, you can probably easily get back to the original place without being noticed by others.

After running to the teaching building, he was initially at a loss, but soon found what he was looking for.

—Perhaps to make it easier for students to find their teachers, one side of the teaching building displays the names of each teacher and the location of their classroom.

Cen Yu glanced around and discovered that Yan Feiluan and Yu Sheng were actually in the same office.

He ran up the stairs, circled the classrooms, and quickly found Yan Feiluan and Yu Sheng's office.

However, when he tried to open the office door, he found it was locked.

Cen Yu silently apologized and was about to take out a hammer to smash the door... but before he could take out the hammer, he heard a series of footsteps.

"?" Who would come to the teaching building in the middle of the night?

The thought crossed Cen Yu's mind, but he could only hide in the nearby toilet for the time being.

"Da da da".

Footsteps were heard in the school corridor. The teaching building, which should have been empty, suddenly became filled with footsteps.

Cen Yu frowned, unable to understand who would come to the teaching building at night.

He quietly hid behind the bathroom door, waiting for the footsteps to leave—

"Da da da".

The footsteps continued down the corridor, getting closer and closer. Realizing that the person was coming in his direction, Cen Yu reached into his pocket and grabbed the hammer... and then the footsteps stopped.

Then came the sound of a key unlocking the door, followed by footsteps entering the office next to the restroom.

On a summer evening... is it the security guard?

No, Cen Yu recalled the old man who was dozing off at the door and immediately dismissed that suspicion.

The footsteps were unhurried, and judging from the lighting in the corridor, the person did not use a flashlight or turn on the lights when they came. If it were a patrolling security guard, they certainly wouldn't have done that.

...The teacher who came back to get something?

Cen Yu had just looked at the teachers below and found that even ten years later, there weren't many teachers at Meiman Middle School.

Besides, it's summer vacation now. Even if something happens, you can come back tomorrow morning. Why do you have to come to the teaching building in the dark in the middle of the night without a flashlight?

After thinking for a moment, Cen Yu decided to take the plunge.

He left the restroom and went straight to the office door.

He noticed that the office lights were off, and the door was wide open, but he couldn't see anyone inside...

He hesitated for a moment, but still slowly walked in.

"Hmm!"

As soon as Cen Yu stepped inside, someone grabbed her arm and covered her face!

He instinctively reached for the hammer in his pocket to hit the man, when he heard a familiar voice beside him.

"It's me."

The voice was very familiar; Cen Yu knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

Yu Sheng.

Why is Yu Sheng here?

He remained vigilant, but still made a few whimpering sounds, as if asking what Yu Sheng was doing.

It was at this moment that Cen Yu realized that Yu Sheng was very muscular. Although he looked weak at first glance, he was actually quite muscular. He was a little unable to break free when Yu Sheng was suddenly grabbed from behind.

"Keep your voice down and I'll let you go."

Yu Sheng said softly.

Cen Yu nodded immediately.

Then Yu Sheng released Cen Yu from his arms.

After being released, Cen Yu immediately took a few steps back... He looked at this man who had always been portrayed as a kind-hearted person in the original work, and watched Yu Sheng slowly walk over and close the office door. He immediately realized that the other party had left the door open for so long because he was waiting for him.

"What are you doing here?" Cen Yu asked preemptively.

Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng laughed, "This question..."

Shouldn't I be the one asking you?

Yu Sheng leaned against the side of his desk, looking at Cen Yu, "I should be asking you, why aren't you in the old teaching building? What are you doing here?"

That makes sense.

Cen Yu thought to himself, but seeing that Yu Sheng was relaxed and didn't seem to be planning to shout, he relaxed a little as well.

"You didn't come back just to get something, did you?"

Yu Sheng looked at Cen Yu in front of him.

The other person's hair was bleached to light gray, and he was wearing an outdoor pullover jacket on top and shorts for easy movement on the bottom... His gaze lingered on Cen Yu's face for a moment, and finally landed on the beauty mark at the corner of the other person's eye.

How beautiful, he thought.

Yu Sheng just looked at Cen Yu quietly, and then said to him—

"Didn't you sense something was wrong when you came here?"

He opened his desk drawer in front of Cen Yu and took out a large group photo and a yellowed notebook.

Cen Yu vaguely knew what Yu Sheng wanted to show him.

So he walked over and looked down at the group photo—

In the photo, he is standing next to He Yongning and Jiang Tuan, laughing and making a peace sign at the camera.

He looked at it carefully for a long time, but still couldn't find Yu Sheng. Instead, he saw Pei Hengyun smiling shyly in the corner of the photo.

...Pei Hengyun?

Cen Yu hurriedly checked the time the photo was taken in the lower left corner.

2011.

The year before they graduated from high school?

He searched the photo carefully, but he couldn't find Yu Sheng's face at all.

A bad feeling suddenly crept into Cen Yu's mind. He immediately opened the yellowed notebook, only to find his own essay inside—

My Best Friend

My best friend is a person who loves to draw, and his name is Pei Hengyun.

Cen Yu saw the class name on the homework book.

Grade 11 (1): Cen Yu.

...

Pei Hengyun immediately stopped and looked in the direction of the new teaching building.

"Cen Yu is in danger!"

He immediately spoke to He Yongning.

He Yongning looked at him suspiciously. He already knew that the other person was not human, and he did not believe a word of what the other person was saying.

Pei Hengyun cursed under his breath—

"Can't you even take out your crappy Polaroid camera and take a look?!"

He Yongning was surprised that the other party also knew about the Polaroid camera. He took out the Polaroid camera he had found in the old house from his pocket with some doubt.

But when he went to check again, he found...

Where is Yu Sheng in this Polaroid photo? It's just him!

He subconsciously looked up at Pei Hengyun, only to see the other man yelling, "Are you stupid?!"

"You know I'm not Cen Yu, but have you forgotten that I died in my second year of high school?!"

...

Hold!

Cen Yu had considered many possibilities, but she never expected that the problem would actually come from Yu Sheng!

He suddenly remembered that Yu Sheng had told them the story of "Xiao Yu"...

And the novel begins with the class monitor organizing a reunion, inviting everyone back to their hometown for a get-together...
