"I like you, Bai Liu."

"Bai Liu, I like you."

"I like you very much."

Bai Liu was silent for a long time before answering: "I understand."

"Oh." Spade was quiet for a while, then - "I like you, Bai Liu."

"I see."

"I like..."

"knew."

The sunlight stretched Bai Liu's shadow very long behind him. Behind him, in Class 37 on the second floor of the teaching building, the sunlight shone obliquely in from the window of the corridor and shone on the blackboard at the back of the classroom.

In the very center of the blackboard was the honor roll of students with outstanding academic performance. There were many students' names written in neat and beautiful chalk handwriting all the way down the list. The second to last name written in beautiful chalk handwriting was "Hou Tong", while the last name was crooked.

The name is [White Willow].

Xu Wei deliberately did not write Bai Liu's name on the honor roll. She thought that no one in this school or in this world would remember Bai Liu's slight progress in such an exam, nor would anyone care whether Bai Liu's name was on the so-called honor roll.

Because Bai Liu has no parents.

But there is a monster that remembers, cares, and exists.

It moved quietly and clumsily, carrying Bai Liu on its back, exhausted its energy, picked up the chalk in an unskilled manner, and carefully wrote his name stroke by stroke at the last position on the honor roll.

Because it really thinks Bai Liu is glorious.

——Just like the moment when it heard Bai Liu's name and stood up for Bai Liu at the parents' meeting.
