She's Soft, Cute, and Sweet

Right at the start of the school year, Ding Kemeng heard a rumor: XiuShui High School had a notorious school bully who picked on classmates, defied teachers, and committed all sorts of mischief...<...

Chapter Seventy-Eight Who is he?

After finishing lunch, Ding Kemeng and Ye Nai went to the music classroom. The cultural festival was approaching, and now even if Sun Yanzhi didn't come to find her, she would go to the music classroom to practice on her own.

Sun Yanzhi was naturally happy to see Ding Kemeng come to practice on her own initiative. After all, every time he went to find her, Ye Nai and Tang Zhizhou, two formidable figures, were always standing by her side. Every time he had to call Ding Kemeng to practice under the gaze of these two men, Sun Yanzhi was terrified!

After Ding Kemeng finished eating and left, Tang Zhizhou and the others also quickly finished their meal and returned to the classroom.

Tang Zhizhou had barely stepped into the classroom when he instantly retreated. Lin Changmao, who was following behind, bumped into him and immediately shouted, "Tang Zhizhou, are you out of your mind? Why are you backing away!"

Ignoring Lin Changmao, Tang Zhizhou peered into the classroom again, this time making sure he could see clearly!

"Holy crap! Ziyin is back!"

"What the hell?" Lin Changmao pushed Tang Zhizhou aside and entered the classroom. Looking up, he saw Lu Ziyin sleeping on the desk at the back of the classroom!

"They're really back!"

No wonder the classroom is so quiet. Usually, it's so noisy when we come back to the classroom after dinner, but today it's unusually quiet. It turns out that Lu Ziyin is back!

Xie Sichen went in first, sat down in his seat, knocked on Lu Ziyin's desk, and said, "Why did you come back early?" Logically speaking, Lu Ziyin should have stayed abroad for another half month, so why did she come back?

“If you want to come back, then you come back.” Lu Ziyin turned his head toward Ding Kemeng’s position and asked, “Where’s Mengbao? Why isn’t she in the classroom?” He had asked the others before, and they said that Mengbao and Tang Zhizhou had gone to the cafeteria for lunch. He thought he would wait for them to come back in the classroom, but Tang Zhizhou and the others came back, and Mengbao was not there!

"Hey, Brother Lu, Sister Meng went to the music room to practice. She probably won't be back until after lunch break!" Tang Zhizhou sat down next to Lu Ziyin and continued, "Sister Meng is participating in the cultural festival and she'll be performing!"

"What kind of show will you be performing?" Lu Ziyin asked, her interest piqued, and stopped lying down.

Tang Zhizhou didn't seem to have asked in detail, but Ding Kemeng goes to the music classroom every day, so she must be performing music programs!

"I guess it's a piano piece. Mengjie can play the piano."

"She has class this afternoon, so don't worry, she'll be back soon," Xie Sichen explained, knowing what Lu Ziyin was thinking.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyin stopped worrying and lay back down to continue sleeping.

He had been abroad for over a month and was still jet-lagged, feeling incredibly sleepy.

After practicing their piece, Ding Kemeng and Sun Yanzhi rushed back to the classroom before class started.

Sun Yanzhi escorted Ding Kemeng to the classroom door, said goodbye, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "This is the dress the school bought for this performance. It was purchased from a store, but the students need to pick it up themselves. This is a card from the dress store. Take it and go choose your dress when you have time."

Ding Kemeng was surprised that the school would prepare formal attire for them. She took the card and said, "Thank you."

When Lu Ziyin woke up, this was the scene she saw: a handsome man and a beautiful woman, chatting sweetly, oblivious to everyone else.

A bitter feeling welled up in her heart and rushed to her throat. Lu Ziyin opened her mouth, stood up, and walked out.

"Then I'll go first..." Sun Yanzhi handed the card to Ding Kemeng and prepared to leave.

"Who is he?" A familiar voice sounded from behind.

"Lu Ziyin?" Ding Kemeng looked at the boy behind her. It had been more than a month since she last saw him. The boy seemed to have grown taller and lost a lot of weight. Although he still had that fierce face that could scare children, Ding Kemeng thought he was extremely handsome!

"You're back?" Overjoyed, Ding Kemeng couldn't help but take two steps closer to Lu Ziyin, wanting to touch him, but... she was avoided!

Lu Ziyin didn't look at Ding Kemeng; his gaze was entirely on Sun Yanzhi. But he spoke to Ding Kemeng: "Who is he? Why are you so close to him? And why did you come back together? Didn't you say you went to prepare for the event? Why, why did you come back with this boy?"

Countless "whys" seemed to overwhelm Lu Ziyin, but she still managed to suppress her anger and didn't lose it.

“He is…” Ding Kemeng’s hand, which was raised in mid-air, was a little embarrassed. Her eyes lowered and her expression darkened. She pointed to Sun Yanzhi next to her and wanted to introduce him to Lu Ziyin.

Seeing that Lu Ziyin's expression was worsening, Sun Yanzhi, though unsure why, was perceptive enough to understand. He smiled and quickly interrupted Ding Kemeng, "You must be Lu Ziyin. I know you. My name is Sun Yanzhi, and I'm the head of the Student Union's Entertainment Department. I was just practicing for the Cultural Festival performance with Ding Kemeng. Now that practice is over, I have nothing else to do, so I'll be going now. Goodbye!" He finished speaking without pausing and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute," Lu Ziyin called out to him.

Sun Yanzhi froze, slowly turned around, his smile almost crumbling: "Lu Ziyin, is there anything else?"

Lu Ziyin glanced at the card lying on the ground, her tone unreadable: "You dropped your card, aren't you going to take it?"

when?

Sun Yanzhi felt his pocket and realized that the card on the ground was indeed his. He guessed that when he gave Ding Kemeng the card, he had accidentally taken out his own as well.

He jogged back and picked up the card from the ground. Sun Yanzhi smiled and said, "Thank you, Lu. I'll be going now!" Sun Yanzhi ran extremely fast, as if something terrifying was chasing him. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

This time, Lu Ziyin did not call out to him again.

"Lu Ziyin, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?" Ding Kemeng asked hurriedly after Sun Yanzhi left.

"Are you telling me in advance so you can give me a big surprise?" Lu Ziyin's tone was harsh, and there was no warmth in her eyes when she looked at Ding Kemeng.

"What are you saying?" Ding Kemeng didn't understand.

Staring at Ding Kemeng's face for a long time, Lu Ziyin couldn't bring herself to get angry at her, no matter how angry she was.

"It's nothing." Turning around, not wanting to stand outside any longer, Lu Ziyin said coldly, "Let's go back."

Ding Kemeng watched Lu Ziyin's retreating figure, feeling somewhat lost. Lu Ziyin was back; it should have been a happy occasion, so why did she feel unhappy?

Tang Zhizhou and the others, who witnessed the whole thing in the classroom, all refrained from disturbing Lu Ziyin when he returned with a cold face.

A little while later, Ding Kemeng also entered the classroom, but Lu Ziyin seemed to have no reaction at all, and didn't say a word to her.

These two are so strange!

All the students in Class 10 were extremely puzzled: Did the big shot and his girlfriend have a fight?
