"What's wrong? Xia Che, you look terrible. Are you sick?"
Shen Yanxin stepped forward, reaching out to touch Xia Che's forehead with concern in her eyes.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I just woke up."
Xia Che was so uncomfortable with Shen Yanxin's gentle gaze that it was almost palpable. He took a few steps back and chuckled awkwardly.
"I see..."
Shen Yanxin nodded as if she understood, then glanced behind Xia Che and, not seeing Chu Yuying, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as that annoying white-haired guy isn't around, I'll have a chance...
Shen Yanxin gently clenched her fist, then quickly released it. She looked at Xia Che, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth. She hesitated for a moment, but remembering the advice of Mu Yingying, the love guru, she mustered up her courage and said, "Xia Che! We can go to school together every day from now on."
"Why? Don't you live somewhere else?"
Xia Che choked for a moment, his expression strange.
If I remember correctly, Shen Yanxin's home is not far from my home, but it is at least some distance away.
How come we can suddenly go to school together?
"Um... I moved."
Shen Yanxin paused, perhaps because she felt guilty, her gaze drifted to the other side unnaturally, not daring to meet Xia Che's eyes, "Because... because of some uncontrollable factors, I could no longer live in my previous house, so I moved out."
"……force majeure?"
"Yes, my house... my house needs to be renovated. You know how renovations are, once you start, it never ends. After it's finished, you have to ventilate it to get rid of formaldehyde and stuff, it's such a hassle. And all the furniture has already been taken down, I can't live in a bare house, can I?"
Shen Yanxin chuckled. It was clearly a lie, but once she got into the right mindset and went all out, she found it easier and easier to tell.
Looking at the smile on Shen Yanxin's face, Xia Che suddenly shivered for no reason.
A sense of foreboding seemed to flash through my mind...
"Really? Then... let's go together."
Xia Che swallowed hard, though he couldn't explain why he suddenly felt nervous.
"Uh-huh!"
Shen Yanxin nodded obediently, standing beside Xia Che, her head lowered and her face flushed, a sweet feeling welling up in her heart.
She was secretly pleased that she had finally taken this first step.
Finally, I have a legitimate reason to openly accompany Xia Che to school...
"Mu Yingying's teachings were definitely right. You have to put in the effort to pursue a man. At first, I thought it would be a bit of a hassle to move, but now it seems... the decision to move was absolutely right. We should have moved a long time ago! We go to school together every day. Even if Xia Che is a blockhead, he should have figured it out by now, right?"
"Spending every day together, feelings will definitely develop over time!"
Shen Yanxin cheered herself up in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became. The gloom that had been hanging over her heart dissipated like the dawn breaking, and she felt relaxed all over.
The future looks bright!
"So... did this girl really rent a place near my house because she's renovating her own home? Something just doesn't feel right..."
As the two walked along the roadside, Xia Che secretly glanced at Shen Yanxin and saw her flushed face, which intensified his strange feeling.
"Strange, very strange..."
Xia Che shook his head.
never mind.
Both of the female leads, Shen Yanxin and Chu Yuying, are acting strangely today. Maybe something else is going on?
I'll ask about it when I have the chance later.
Having made up his mind, Xia Che then saw the office workers hurrying by, the roadside vendors, and groups of students in school uniforms walking towards school.
He no longer felt any sense of illusion; instead, he truly began to wholeheartedly accept the world.
Xia Che felt that the sky was so blue, the air was so clear, and the girl walking with him to school was so gorgeous...
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, Xia Che realized something, and his expression froze slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Yanxin was still lost in a sweet fantasy when she was suddenly awakened by Xia Che's shout and stared blankly at him.
She had been fantasizing that she and Xia Che were about to have a baby...
"We can't just go to school like this, can we? The rumors only just ended... have you forgotten?"
Xia Che looked around. They were still some distance from Weiyang, so he hadn't run into any classmates yet.
However, Shen Yanxin's looks are really good, and Xia Che knows how eye-catching his blond hair is. This combination is quite conspicuous no matter where they are, and there is absolutely no way they won't be seen by their classmates.
What if they both get into the school, and then a paparazzi like Wei Guang shows up...?
Xia Che felt a headache just thinking about it.
"Huh? Oh, right."
Shen Yanxin was still in a daze, blinking her eyes and looking somewhat adorable.
"Then what should we do?"
Shen Yanxin asked.
"Let's part ways here. I'll go in first, and then you can go into the school. Anyway, it's not too far from Weiyang."
Xia Che said.
"Alright... that's the only way."
Shen Yanxin had no objections. For her, having someone she liked by her side on her way to school was already something that made her very happy.
Moreover, just as Xia Che said, this place is only a short distance from Weiyang, so saying that we've arrived at the school gate is not much different.
"Oh right, I almost forgot..."
Just as Xia Che was about to leave, Shen Yanxin called him back again. He turned around in confusion and found that the girl had her back to him and was rummaging through her bag.
After rummaging around for a while, Shen Yanxin brought out a white lunchbox with a small plastic peach as a garnish.
"convenient?"
Xia Che touched his nose.
This feeling of déjà vu...
Did I really just transmigrate into the world of a manga, and not the world of Japanese manga?
What student in China has the tradition of making their own lunchboxes?
"Yeah, it's a beef brisket rice dish that I just learned to make during the holidays. Hehe, I noticed you don't come to school much every day. When you do come, I don't see you in the cafeteria during lunchtime. I knew you probably found it too troublesome and didn't eat properly."
Shen Yanxin picked up the lunchbox and smiled, "Here, how is it?"
"Hmm..."
Xia Che stroked his chin and pondered for a while. He used to sneak out of the school to eat lunch, rarely going to the cafeteria because there were too few dishes. Compared to the beef brisket rice made by Shen Yanxin, the spicy hot pot outside the school was more tempting to Xia Che.
"No, I don't like beef brisket."
After thinking it over, Xia Che decisively refused; he had already made up his mind.
Mala Tang is still the best!
"I'm leaving now, you should hurry up too, don't be late."
Xia Che waved his hand, then looked around warily. After making sure he hadn't attracted anyone's attention, he hurriedly ran away.
