Sheng Yuan is here.

As soon as the girl appeared, everyone looked at her sideways.

After not seeing her for a day, she looked no different.

She was still wearing the exquisite British school uniform, with her silky hair draped over her shoulders.

She was still strikingly beautiful, with a smooth, flawless face and a calm expression.

It was so calm that it seemed as if what happened the day before at noon had never happened, and she had never lost control of her emotions.

As soon as Sheng Yuan arrived, she put down her schoolbag and fell asleep.

What a familiar scene.

From the time Sheng Yuan came in until she sat down, she didn't even look at Shi Yan, as if Shi Yan was just a piece of air.

The tip of Shi Yan's pen paused, leaving a black dot on the blank answer sheet.

On the draft paper next to him were turtles of various sizes that Sheng Yuan had drawn when he was bored a few days ago.

Sheng Yuan returned to the state she was in when she first arrived at Qingfeng—sleeping most of the time, and occasionally taking out her cell phone to play for a while when she woke up.

The whole morning passed and Sheng Yuan didn't say a word to Shi Yan.

At noon, the get out of class is over.

Sheng Yuan took her cell phone and left the classroom with the crowd.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

The "strangers" atmosphere between Sheng Yuan and the academic genius.

Seeing this, Yan Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't know the specific reason why the relationship between Shi Yan and Sheng Yuan suddenly cooled, it seemed that the transaction between Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan had stopped.

Yan Qingyue thought that this was the right thing to do, and the right people should return to the right track.

But at the same time, she felt inexplicably uneasy. Could she really... go back to the starting point so easily?

The bell rang for lunch break.

All the students returned to the classroom one after another.

Zhang Wenqiang sat in his seat and drank water with his head tilted back. He glanced back and saw Shi Yan. He noticed that the exercise book in front of Shi Yan had become slightly thicker.

This exercise volume -

Zhang Wenqiang was shocked: "Study, study god, you didn't go to lunch and just do your homework here, did you?!"

Shi Yan drooped his eyelashes and said nothing.

Zhang Wenqiang did not dare to ask any more questions, because the academic god looked so cold, and the aura of "no strangers allowed" around him was almost overflowing from the screen.

“…”

Sheng Yuan returned to the classroom just as the official bell rang.

After scrolling through her phone for a while, she locked the screen and lay down on the table to take a nap.

Most people in the classroom were asleep, and the atmosphere was quiet, with only the slight squeaking sound of the ceiling fan overhead.

Today is another sunny day.

The sun inevitably shines in at noon.

Sheng Yuan moved and changed her posture, trying to avoid the sunlight as much as possible, but part of her neck was still exposed to the sun.

She frowned.

The next second, a shadow appeared, blocking the sunlight, and the heat dissipated.

Sheng Yuan opened her eyelids and met Shi Yan's pair of dark eyes.

Her eyes moved to the side and fell on Shi Yan's hand, which was holding a thin exercise book to shade her from the sun.

The two looked at each other in silence for three seconds.

Sheng Yuan stood up, expressionless, and asked, "Didn't you receive the message?"

That deal-closing message.

"..." Shi Yan looked at Sheng Yuan and replied in a low voice: "Received." But he did not reply.

Sheng Yuan glanced at his bony hands and frowned: "What does this mean?"

Shi Yan pursed his lips.

Sheng Yuan seemed to have no patience to wait for Shi Yan to speak. She withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at Shi Yan.

So the exercise book in Shi Yan's hand that was used to block the sun became useless.

"Your snacks."

Sheng Yuan was scrolling through her phone when she heard a young man's low voice talking to her.

Sheng Yuan raised her head and looked over, and saw that Shi Yan's desk was filled with snacks given to her by other students during the basketball game that day.

She didn't move at all and just stayed here with Shi Yan, occupying Shi Yan's desk.

Sheng Yuan said: "You can eat it or give it to others, it's up to you."

She tried to distance herself from the matter.

Shi Yan's sparse eyelashes moved slightly, half covering the emotions in his dark pupils. His voice was slightly low, so low that it sounded a little cold: "I don't want it."

Sheng Yuan automatically understood Shi Yan's words to mean that he didn't want these snacks. After thinking for two seconds, she took out her cell phone and sent a message.

Probably less than five minutes.

The students in Class 1 were half asleep when they saw a boy from another class walk in boldly.

Looking closely, it was Fu Jie.

Huh? Why is Fu Jie from Class 7 here? ! Is this the lunch break? ! Fu Jie was indeed sleeping just now, with messy hair and sleepy eyes.

"That's all, right?"

Fu Jie bent down and squatted behind Shi Yan and Sheng Yuan, in the middle, and put all the snacks in his pocket.

He had almost finished taking everything when he saw a few bottles of white peach flavored yogurt at the back.

Sheng Yuan would not accept drinks, but it looked like Sheng Yuan had no intention of touching these snacks. Maybe he just accepted them casually, so this is not impossible.

So Fu Jie took out a bottle of yogurt and asked Sheng Yuan for confirmation: "Is this one too?"

Sheng Yuan glanced at it and said, "No, it belongs to someone else. Put it back."

The other person refers to Shi Yan.

Fu Jie left with a bunch of snacks for Sheng Yuan.

The students in Class 1 were stunned.

Shi Yan's desk was empty, and now the two of them really had nothing to do with each other.

The bell for the last class of the afternoon rang.

Fu Jie's figure appeared at the door of Class 1 classroom after a long absence.

Sheng Yuan and Fu Jie left side by side.

* That night, Shi Yan discovered that Sheng Yuan had deleted his WeChat.

The lights in the bedroom were not on.

Only a few scattered lights from the residential buildings outside the window came in.

Shi Yan had just taken a shower and was wearing a white T-shirt and trousers. One side of his handsome face was hidden in the shadow, and his finger hovered above the screen for a long time.

The last line of conversation with Sheng Yuan was "The transaction ends here."

After a long while, Shi Yan typed on the keyboard: [You have helped me to resolve the lawsuit, I will transfer the money back to you.] After Shi Yan pressed the enter key and was about to transfer the money, a system prompt popped up on his phone -

[.Friend verification is turned on. You are not his (her) friend yet. Please send a friend verification request first. You can chat only after the other party passes the verification.] "..."

When Sheng Yuan said the deal was over, it was really over.

Not dragging your feet at all.

* Noon the next day.

Shi Yan came back from the cafeteria and was about to enter the classroom, but someone blocked the door.

Sheng Yuan was stopped by a boy.

The boy was wearing the uniform white and navy blue school uniform of Qingfeng No. 1 Middle School. He was quite tall, with regular features, but he looked a little nervous, but it was the kind of shy nervousness.

"Isn't this Shen Han from Class 4?"

"Why is he here?"

"He came to see Sheng Yuan?"

Shen Han was a little afraid to look at Sheng Yuan, but he finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Hello, Sheng Yuan, my name is Shen Han. I'm sorry that this may be a bit abrupt, but I don't mean anything else. It's just that if you are willing, I can play with you during the remaining days of the exchange period--"
