From Chapter 245 onwards, you'll be my friend.
Even without her reminder, Shen Xuewei always remembered.
"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back and do my homework."
After saying that, Shen Xuewei turned to leave.
This was probably the first time she had met someone like Shen Xuewei. Seeing that Shen Xuewei was leaving without notice, she quickly grabbed Shen Xuewei's hand.
Shen Xuewei turned to look at her, and she lowered her hand again, feeling embarrassed.
"I...I didn't mean anything by it, it's just..."
Seeing the impatience on Shen Xuewei's face, she whispered her purpose.
"Um, can we be friends?"
This was the first time she had spoken like this on her own initiative. She seemed very shy, and a little uneasy, afraid that Shen Xuewei would refuse.
Shen Xuewei was taken aback for a moment, "You don't need to do this."
She said in a very low voice, "I haven't told anyone else about this, and no one else will know."
"Don't come looking for me again. That's all."
She didn't look at Xu Yue's expression and was about to go straight back to the classroom when a warm voice rang out:
"Xu Yue".
The girl who performed on stage with Xu Yue that day jogged up to them and affectionately took their hands.
"I couldn't find you in the classroom just now, how did you end up here?"
She glanced at Shen Xuewei. "What are you doing here looking for her? You don't even know her. Come back with me. Hua Ge and the others just said they'd take you home after school."
Xu Yue pulled her hand away, "This is my business, it's none of your concern."
Shen Xuewei didn't bother with any conflict between the two. Seeing that it seemed like she was no longer involved, she returned to her seat and continued studying the unsolved problem.
Xu Yue stood outside the corridor, gazing longingly at Shen Xuewei.
Seeing that the other person was engrossed in studying, I decided not to disturb them further.
Although somewhat disappointed, I had no choice but to leave.
Lin Yuru tried to take her hand again, but this time she dodged first, leaving Lin Yuru empty-handed.
Lin Yuru watched Xu Yue's receding figure in front of her, then looked back at the classroom behind her, her eyelids lowered, lost in thought.
He Qiwen was about to step forward and ask Shen Xuewei when she met Xu Yue.
Just then, the school bell rang, and the teacher came out of the office with her books. Seeing that she was almost at the classroom, she had no choice but to suppress her restless heart and return to her seat.
Shen Xuewei listened attentively to the lecture and took notes. After the bell rang and the teacher left, He Qiwen immediately jumped in front of her.
"Weiwei, when did you meet Xu Yue? I see you sitting in the classroom every day, except when you go to the toilet or the office. When have you ever run into her?"
When she arrived, several of her friends followed her.
Shen Xuewei sighed; she knew this might happen.
She feigned ignorance and said, "How would I know? You said it yourself, I haven't had time to get to know her at all. You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
He Qiwen looked at him with suspicion: "You really didn't know her before?"
"We didn't know each other before, but we do now. Oh dear, I don't have time to talk to you about this, I need to study."
Shen Xuewei adopted a posture of shooing people away, her face clearly saying "Don't bother me."
He Qiwen pouted, reluctant to leave.
However, fearing that Shen Xuewei might go to the teacher to complain without saying a word, just like she did at the beginning of the semester, they had no choice but to leave with a few friends.
Shen Xuewei glanced at her seat and saw that she and a few friends were still discussing something, and she could hear her name and Xu Yue's name from time to time.
Shen Xuewei didn't care what they were saying.
As long as it doesn't reach her ears, she can pretend she doesn't know.
At lunchtime, students rushed to the cafeteria in droves, and Shen Xuewei was no exception.
She waited in line for almost ten minutes before finally getting her food and finding an empty seat.
After eating for a few minutes, the seat next to me became empty, and then someone quickly sat down next to me.
Shen Xuewei didn't take it seriously and continued eating the food in her lunchbox.
No matter how bad the food in the cafeteria was, Shen Xuewei had gotten used to it after eating there for so long.
Feeling something stuck in her braces, she tried to dislodge it with her tongue, but to no avail. So, disregarding her image, she reached in and tried to pry it out with her fingers.
She removed a bean sprout that was stuck in her braces.
Looking at the bean sprouts in her hand, she took out a tissue to wipe her hands. Although her face was expressionless, she was complaining in her heart.
...This lousy cafeteria. I spend 26 days a month at school, and for at least 10 days, the cafeteria prepares only bean sprouts.
It's either soybean sprouts or mung bean sprouts.
Ever since she got braces, Shen Xuewei hates all kinds of long and thin foods that are hard to chew, such as bean sprouts and enoki mushrooms.
Eating these kinds of foods can easily cause braces to get stuck, making them difficult to clean and prone to scratching the gums. In severe cases, it can even lead to the braces coming off...
Compared to these, even bitter melon, which Shen Xuewei used to hate the most, doesn't seem so bad anymore.
Seemingly noticing Shen Xuewei's embarrassed expression, a soft laugh came from beside her.
Shen Xuewei was in a bad mood at the moment, and when she heard the voice, she looked over with a stern face.
"Is it funny?"
Upon closer inspection, she realized that the person sitting next to her was actually Xu Yue.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she asked, "Aren't you a day student? What are you doing in the cafeteria?"
Xu Yue rested her chin on her hands, looking at her with a smile, "I came to find you."
Shen Xuewei turned her head back to her food and continued eating, her tone becoming indifferent.
Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me?
She had already made herself clear enough; she didn't know why Xu Yue insisted on coming to find her.
Remembering what she said before, I want to be friends with her?
Shen Xuewei secretly shook her head. With Xu Yue's popularity, she could have plenty of friends to play with, so why bother looking for her?
Xu Yue was not deterred by Shen Xuewei's coldness and continued to gaze at her with a smile.
She consulted her classmates and learned how to win over Shen Xuewei.
Shen Xuewei felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she glared at her.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Go home now."
Xu Yue repeated her previous statement, "Shen Xuewei, let's be friends."
Shen Xuewei sighed again, "Tell me, you already have so many friends, why do you have to come to me?"
Xu Yue shook her head. "Friends are not all the same."
Shen Xuewei felt she couldn't reason with her, so she ignored her, ate quickly, and wanted to leave the cafeteria as soon as possible to sneak back to her dormitory.
Xu Yue took the lid of Shen Xuewei's lunchbox and said softly, "I bring you breakfast every morning and deliver it to your classroom."
Shen Xuewei paused for a moment, then continued eating.
Seeing that Shen Xuewei ignored her, Xu Yue added, "I can also bring you a thermos of hot water every day..."
Shen Xuewei was still eating, but she chewed more slowly.
Sensing that Shen Xuewei was softening, Xu Yue was overjoyed and added more weight, holding up two fingers to Shen Xuewei.
"Two pots!"
"I'll bring you breakfast in the morning. When you come to the classroom in the morning, please bring your thermos. I'll fetch hot water from home and bring it to school for you at noon..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Xuewei had already turned her head, her tone resolute, as if to say, "You're my best friend."
"Okay, from now on you're my friend."
