[Mingchen: Are you alright?]

[Mingchen: Are you asleep?]

[Mingchen: Then you should rest well first, remember to take your painkillers, and remember to take good care of yourself and don't catch a cold.]

[Mingchen: If you have a hot water bottle at home, use it to warm your stomach, and heat up a cup of milk in the microwave.]

[Mingchen: I'm ending my broadcast. You can call me anytime you wake up.]

When Qin Wan woke up, she picked up her phone and saw a bunch of messages from Mingchen. She glanced at them casually and then exited the chat.

After a quick wash, skincare, and makeup routine, I chose a beautiful white fitted long dress and white sneakers.

I glanced at the class schedule, grabbed the books I needed, and headed downstairs towards S University.

On campus.

As Qin Wan stepped into the school gate, the students around her subconsciously looked at her, their eyes simultaneously showing a hint of amazement.

Wow!

When did their school get such a beautiful girl?

"Is she a classmate of ours at S University?"

"Yeah, it's been so long since school started, and this is the first time I've seen her."

"Logically speaking, someone as goddess-like as her should have been someone I've heard of."

"She's a sophomore and was the campus beauty of the previous year," an insider revealed.

"Campus belle? Then why do we seem to have never seen this senior since we enrolled?" a freshman asked in confusion.

"Qin Xuejie had some family troubles and had to take a year off from school..." explained a person who was somewhat in the know.

"Something happened? What happened?"

"Check the forum posts, or ask the upperclassmen who are in their second, third, or fourth year. They all know."

After leaving those words, the insider said nothing more and turned to leave.

But before leaving, he still gave Qin Wan a look full of pity.

The former senior student Qin had a bright smile, like a warm little sun. She was kind-hearted, helpful, and approachable.

Qin, whose family has suffered a great change, is like a helpless flower in a storm, suffering from the ravages of wind and rain, yet not knowing how to cope.

Refusing help from others and isolating herself is heartbreaking to see.

Class A, Year 2.

As soon as Qin Wan stepped into the classroom, the previously noisy class fell silent instantly.

The students stared at her with wide eyes and incredulous expressions.

Qin Wan!!!

It's Qin Wan!!!

She actually came back?!

"Long time no see." Facing the surprised and astonished gazes of the crowd, Qin Wan smiled faintly and greeted them politely.

Looking at Qin Wan, whose gentle smile was like a spring breeze, the students in the classroom couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

What is Qin Wan doing...?

The sudden silence in the classroom made Qiao Muzhi, who was half asleep, frown slightly and subconsciously look up at her surroundings.

Seeing the strange reactions of her classmates, Qiao Muzhi couldn't help but follow their gazes...

I spotted Qin Wan at a glance...

For a moment, Qiao Muzhi's gaze paused, a faint look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

You're back?

The thought of having an annoying deskmate and not being able to sleep well made Qiao Muzhi's brows furrow with a hint of irritation.

One minute later.

As Qiao Muzhi expected, a faint, sparse sound came from beside him.

Even though the other person's movements were already very small and gentle, Qiao Muzhi still felt that he was being disturbed.

He turned his head and lay down in a different position, his dark gaze fixed intently on Qin Wan.

Did I disturb you?

Unexpectedly, Qin Wan happened to hear the noise and turned around.

"Useless... um."

Qiao Muzhi stopped halfway through saying the word "nonsense".

"Then I'll be gentle."

As she spoke, Qin Wan opened the book in her hand and sat there obediently and quietly, without saying a word. Even the slightest movement of her body was silent, as if she was afraid of disturbing him.

Qiao Muzhi: "..."

Qiao Muzhi stared at Qin Wan for a few seconds, then, thinking about what had happened to her, he pursed his thin lips, silently changed his position, and stopped looking at her.

Later, the teacher came and, seeing Qin Wan return, asked her a few questions.

After class, some of Qin Wan's classmates who were familiar with her came over to greet her and show their concern.

In an instant, the once quiet and deserted corner became the liveliest area in the entire classroom.

Qiao Muzhi scratched his hair in frustration, then sat up abruptly, glaring at the classmates surrounding Qin Wan with an unfriendly expression.

"Is this ever going to end?"

The students: "..."

"Um, Qin Wan, please take good care of yourself. We'll be leaving now."

"Goodbye, Qin Wan."

"Let's chat sometime."

Let's chat on WeChat.

As they spoke, the students mimicked birds and beasts and scattered instantly.

In an instant, this little world returned to tranquility.

When Qin Wan looked over, she met Qiao Muzhi's dissatisfied gaze.

Did I disturb you?

"I'm sorry..."

"Everyone was just worried about me, it wasn't intentional, I..."

Before Qin Wan could finish speaking, Qiao Muzhi frowned and interrupted her impatiently.

"Are you done talking?"

“…Hmm.” Qin Wan paused for a moment, then responded softly.

"I want to sleep." Qiao Muzhi stared at her unfriendly.

"Um."

"..." Seeing that Qin Wan seemed to be frightened by him, Qiao Muzhi pursed his thin lips, and a trace of irritation flashed in his dark eyes.

"Don't bother me anymore!" After thinking for a moment, Qiao Muzhi couldn't help but threaten in an unfriendly tone.

"Mmm." Qin Wan nodded obediently.

Qiao Muzhi: "..." Is "hmm" all she knows how to say?

She looks pretty, but she's not very bright.

Thinking of this, Qiao Muzhi pursed his lips, then lay down again, closed his eyes, and continued to rest.

Qiao Muzhi slept very comfortably for the next hour.

Qin Wan did just that. As she said, she didn't bother him anymore, and even the classmates around her didn't bother him, which was quite unusual.

After a pleasant sleep, Qiao Muzhi was in a good mood and found Qin Wan beside him much more agreeable.

[Qiao Muzhi's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 32.]

The school bully's deskmate had an initial affection level of 30 for the original owner?

Qin Wan raised an eyebrow. It seemed that her school bully deskmate wasn't as unapproachable and difficult to get along with as she appeared.

"Good performance."

"Keep it up."

After uttering those eight words, Qiao Muzhi stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and lazily walked out of the classroom.

Qin Wan: "..." She really is arrogant and a school bully.

No sooner had Qiao Mu left than Qin Wan's classmates, who were concerned about her, surrounded her, expressing their care and concern.

I asked about her recent situation, her health, and whether she was free recently, suggesting we go shopping or for a walk together, or go on a weekend outing.

It has to be said that the original owner's classmates were really great.

When she suddenly returned after taking a break from school for more than half a year, everyone was kind to her and there was no sense of unfamiliarity, xenophobia or criticism.

Faced with everyone's concern, Qin Wan smiled and agreed, adding that everyone could contact her via WeChat to schedule a time, while also thanking everyone for their concern.
