In the blink of an eye, high school study life arrived.
By the time she was in her second year of high school, Chen Yao had grown into a graceful young lady. Her skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing. Her figure gradually became apparent, and her legs were straight and slender, which even the loose school uniform could not hide.
She always wears a high ponytail, and her whole body is full of youthful and lively energy, smart and beautiful.
Her originally childish face gradually became brighter, more beautiful and charming, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
Probably because of this, she received more and more love letters.
After school that day, she and Zhao Ning went to a newly opened milk tea shop outside the school to drink milk tea. Just as they bought the milk tea and sat down, a boy who was also wearing their high school uniform walked towards her with a red face.
"Hello, Chen Yao. I'll treat you to some milk tea." The boy was so nervous that he stuttered, his face full of shame. Behind him, there were two male classmates who seemed to be cheering him up.
Chen Yao smiled and said, "No need, classmate."
The male student suddenly became even more embarrassed, moving his lips but not knowing what to do next.
Then, the two male classmates behind him nudged him and whispered, "Don't be scared, confession, love letter..."
The male classmate reacted immediately, and quickly took out the love letter he had prepared long ago, placed it on the table in front of Shen Yao, and said nervously:
"I'm Jiang Wei, from the class next to yours. I've liked you for a long time. This is a love letter I wrote just for you..."
Chen Yao politely returned the love letter to him and said seriously: "Sorry, classmate, I just want to study hard at this stage and I really have no interest in these things, so there is no need for this. I'll give it back to you."
Jiang Wei's face suddenly turned even redder. He didn't even take the love letter that Chen Yao returned to him, and ran out of the milk tea shop quickly.
The two male classmates who followed him were stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him after they realized what was happening.
Chen Yao holding the love letter:???
Zhao Ning, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Sister, your peach blossoms have been blooming like crazy lately. This is the third one today, right?"
Chen Yao shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "I actually don't even know who they are."
So it feels quite troubling.
Zhao Ning smiled mysteriously and whispered, "You don't know them, but they all know you. And, I guess they all know that Lu Yan has been away from you for training and competitions recently, so they all took the opportunity to rush over."
Chen Yao's eyes widened as she asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with Lu Yan?"
Zhao Ning: "Isn't Lu Yan usually a barrier to romantic interests? If he were to stand next to you, who would dare to confess their love to you?"
Chen Yao took a sip of milk tea and said lightly: "I see."
Zhao Ning was surprised: "You can't see it, right?"
Chen Yao was puzzled: "What can't you see?"
Zhao Ning moved his lips, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Forget it, she will always understand when she should. This is a matter between her and Lu Yan. It is better for a bystander like her not to destroy this hazy feeling.
…
On the weekend, Chen Yao wore casual and loose clothes and prepared to go hiking.
Today she was going to climb a small hill in a scenic area not far from her home. It was not difficult to climb and there were many people climbing it usually, so its safety was guaranteed.
Just as she put on her backpack and went out, she met an unexpected person at the door, Lu Yan.
In the past few years, Lu Yan's height has been growing. He is now 1.84 meters tall and has the tendency to grow taller.
Compared to him, Chen Yao, who is 1.68 meters tall, looks a little petite.
Chen Yao raised her head slightly and looked at him, surprised: "Lu Yan, why are you back? Is the Mathematical Olympiad training over?"
Lu Yan shook his head and said calmly, "No, I just came back on a temporary leave."
After saying that, he handed the thing in his hand to Chen Yao. It was a very delicate and cute little cat pendant. It looked round and chubby, and very adorable.
"This is for you." Lu Yan said.
Chen Yao's eyes lit up. You know, her favorite thing was such a cute little pig.
"Thank you, Lu Yan." She took it and thanked with a smile.
Lu Yan pursed his lips and said, "You're welcome. I just saw it by chance and bought it."
Chen Yao carefully placed the small pendant into her schoolbag before zipping it up again.
Lu Yan looked at her outfit and asked casually, "Are you going hiking?"
Chen Yao nodded and said, "Well, let's go to Xiaosong Mountain."
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Alone?"
Chen Yao: "Well, I'll go alone."
Lu Yan said without thinking: "Let's go, I'll go with you."
Chen Yao asked him, "It takes quite a while to go back and forth. How long did you take leave for? Is it possible in time?"
Lu Yan: "Not much, but it's still in time."
Chen Yao didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."
On the way, Lu Yan thought of the WeChat message Zhou Ming had sent him before.
【Zhou Ming: Hey buddy, have you been busy over there lately?】
[Zhou Ming: During your absence, the number of people confessing their love to Shen Yao has been skyrocketing.]
【Zhou Ming: One after another.】
[Zhou Ming: I heard that among the suitors, there are people in the first, second, and third grades of high school! The main theme is to let a hundred flowers bloom!]
It was because of Zhou Ming's words that he pestered the training team teacher to ask for leave. Fortunately, he finally got a day off and could rush back in the evening.
Thinking of this, he asked Chen Yao in an inquiring tone: "How are you doing recently?"
Chen Yao smiled and said, "It's good."
Lu Yan pursed his lips and asked in a different tone, "Have you encountered anything unusual recently?"
Chen Yao played dumb: "No."
At this point, Lu Yan's cold expression finally showed a crack. He thought for a moment and said earnestly, "At our age, the most important thing is actually studying. Don't you think so?"
Chen Yao raised an eyebrow and asked, "What age?"
Lu Yan said seriously, "The age before going to college."
Chen Yao let out a long "oh" to indicate that she understood: "So, in other words, only after I go to college can I...consider things that are not related to study?"
Lu Yan: "Yeah."
What he didn't know at this time was that he had quietly dug a big hole for his future self.
After the college entrance examination at the age of 19, he will spend every day in great difficulty asking Chen Yao to give him a status.

The setting is that after the college entrance examination, Chen Yao and Lu Yan are both 19 years old. Don’t ask why, it’s just for safety reasons. It’s understandable.
