Xu Feifei arrived at the classroom early this morning and buried herself in her studies. Despite the cruel torment of homework yesterday, her love for learning remains unchanged.
Not at all! Last night she was so busy shopping and participating in activities that her homework time was extended by an hour, and she still hadn't finished. She rushed to the classroom this morning purely to finish her homework.
Before morning reading, Zeng Hao ran over and asked, "Feifei, you signed up for the photography event to find the height of summer at East Lake, right?"
"Yeah! How did you know?" Xu Feifei didn't even look up, her hand busy writing, trying to copy as much as possible while Lin Yuan was away.
“My goddess is participating too, right!” Zeng Hao glanced at Lin Yuan’s empty seat and deliberately lowered his voice.
"Yes, that's right! Are you going to participate too?"
Zeng Hao's eyes darted around, and suddenly he thought of something. "That's right, how about we take some photos together? I'll take the group photos for you guys, I'm a great photographer!"
After hearing his words, Xu Feifei looked up at him, leaned back in her chair, and said with a mischievous smile, "You don't mean you want to have more contact with Lin Yuan, do you?"
Zeng Hao's face flushed slightly, and he stammered, "Yes... so what?"
"If you agree, I'll tell you a secret about Nangong Ye," Zeng Hao whispered, covering his mouth with his hand as he threw out the bait.
"Oh? What secret?" Xu Feifei looked at him curiously, her ears perked up. She hurriedly turned her head to look at the male lead. Seeing that he wasn't there, she felt relieved.
"If you agree to my request now, I'll tell you." Zeng Hao looked at Xu Feifei with a sly grin after she took the bait.
Xu Feifei looked at Lin Yuan's empty seat, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll ask her when Lin Yuan comes back."
"Yay!" Zeng Hao roared excitedly, clenching his fist.
"Don't be too happy yet. I don't know if Lin Yuan will agree," Xu Feifei said hurriedly when she saw how happy he was.
"It doesn't matter whether it works out or not, as long as you tell me. I'll tell you Nangong Ye's secret later."
Upon hearing the word "secret," Xu Feifei's eyes lit up, her gossip-loving heart ignited, and she asked with delight, "Can't you tell me now?"
"No, at least wait until you've told my goddess about this before I tell you." Zeng Hao shook his head and returned to his seat with a relaxed air.
Xu Feifei glanced at his back, pursed her lips, and then lowered her head to diligently write.
"Breakfast, hurry up and eat!" Lin Yuan returned to her seat and placed the breakfast she was holding on Xu Feifei's table: strawberry cake and milk.
One day after class, she went to a cake shop and ordered a strawberry cake. She was amazed by the first bite. The sweet and sour strawberries paired with the soft cake and silky cream made the cake just the right amount of sweet without being cloying. It was so delicious!
This morning, when I passed by, I saw someone buy a cake. I immediately felt a strong urge to buy one too, so I pestered Lin Yuan to go with me. Unfortunately, the store was too crowded, so Lin Yuan told Xu Feifei to go back and finish her homework first.
"Okay." Xu Feifei happily put down her pen, picked up the cake, and as she opened the box, a cool breeze wafted out. Just as she was about to eat it...
He tapped the edge of the table.
Xu Feifei looked up and saw Nangong Ye looking at her.
Her first reaction was to push the breakfast onto Lin Yuan's table, her expression calm but her heart pounding with panic, and say, "Lin Yuan, hurry up and eat! Otherwise it will get cold."
Seeing the cake being pushed towards her and Xu Feifei's flustered expression, Lin Yuan looked at Nangong Ye with displeasure.
Nangong Ye felt uneasy under her gaze, but quickly regained his composure and said, "Hey! Xu Feifei, I'm not going to steal your breakfast, why are you so nervous?"
"I'm not nervous, why would I be nervous?"
"If you weren't nervous, you would have pushed the breakfast over. If you weren't nervous, you would have said the cake would get cold. Besides, have you forgotten something lately? You said you would bring me breakfast."
Nangong Ye asked three questions in quick succession, pressing him relentlessly.
Xu Feifei looked at the male lead, guiltily touched her nose, her eyes wandering aimlessly, speechless. After a long while, she finally explained, "Uh... well, I'm eating at school now too. I can't get breakfast from Aunt Zhang."
Besides, I saw that the female lead brought it for you, and you're still not satisfied, wanting breakfast for two? Of course, Xu Feifei didn't say this out loud, she could only curse in her heart indignantly.
"Helping you is a favor, not helping you is my right. By the way, I see people bringing you food every day. Are you not getting enough to eat? Next time, ask her to bring you an extra portion," Lin Yuan said coldly from the side.
When Xu Feifei heard Lin Yuan say what she had said, she was secretly delighted and kept suppressing the urge to smile.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Nangong Ye was like a cat with its fur standing on end, hesitant to speak, like a fire that had been lit in an instant but then extinguished in the blink of an eye.
She said weakly, "Didn't Xu Feifei promise me that?"
Seeing Nangong Ye's demeanor shift from domineering to pitiful in an instant, Xu Feifei couldn't help but sigh, "It seems Nangong Ye is quite afraid of Lin Yuan. Is the male lead just playing favorites, picking on the weak?"
“The situation is different now; Feifei is living at school now.”
Nangong Ye turned to Xu Feifei and said fiercely, "Xu Feifei, you have to remember to bring these for me next time. I'll let it go this time, but don't forget next time."
Wow, they really do pick on the weak! Just a moment ago they were all all wronged, but now they're all stern with her.
"Nangong Ye, I knew you weren't good at Chinese, but I didn't expect you to be this bad." Lin Yuan said impatiently.
Nangong Ye, shameless as ever, climbed higher and higher, saying, "Compared to your Chinese grades, my Chinese isn't very good. Could you teach me Chinese? The kind that pays well!"
Why did the style suddenly change? Xu Feifei was amazed by Nangong Ye's shamelessness, but something felt off.
Lin Yuan stared at him silently, expressionless, without saying a word.
Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't speak, Nangong Ye quickly said, "If you don't speak, I'll take that as your agreement."
Lin Yuan spoke again, coldly saying, "Go find Lin Xi'er."
Upon hearing the female lead's name, Xu Feifei decisively looked in that direction. The female lead was still engrossed in her workbook, her pen remaining motionless for a long time.
"Lin Xier?" Nangong Ye paused for a moment and looked in that direction as well.
"So you mind if Lin Xier teaches me? How about this, I'll tell her it's not necessary, you can take care of all my studies."
As soon as Nangong Ye finished speaking, Xu Feifei saw the female lead stand up, take her water bottle, and head to a small cubicle in the classroom. Because her head was lowered and her expression was completely hidden by her loose hair, she could only be seen walking hurriedly.
What kind of plot is this?! Xu Feifei looked back and forth between Nangong Ye and the small cubicle in shock. Had she missed something in the plot? Or was it the butterfly effect? The plot just didn't make sense.
Lin Yuan chuckled coldly twice and said, "I can't afford it."
"You're number one in the whole school, believe me, I'll catch up soon. With our combined strength, we'll be the two of us in the city's future Chinese language competition for pairs," Nangong Ye said confidently, patting his chest as he assured him.
"Thanks, but no need."
"Really, you have to believe me. Let's join hands and create something brilliant together, leaving a significant mark on the school's student list. Future generations of students will see us..."
Xu Feifei had already taken back her breakfast and was quietly eating while watching Nangong Ye talk incessantly. It was the first time she had seen this, and she realized that the male lead was also a shameless and talkative character.
Lin Yuan completely ignored him and looked down at her questions.
"We should choose the same major in college, so you can tutor me. Then, we can participate in competitions together..."
Xu Feifei had already finished breakfast, but Nangong Ye was still rambling on beside her, showing no signs of stopping.
Surprisingly, Nangong Ye actually enjoys studying. She participated in competitions in high school and still has them in college. Forgive her shallowness, but she only knows that competitions can lead to guaranteed admission to graduate school and financial rewards; she doesn't know what else they can do.
Given Nangong Ye's family background, he's not short of money. With his current grades, a guaranteed university admission is out of the question. It's really strange.
Xu Feifei bit her milk straw in confusion, watching the male protagonist talk on and on, lost in thought.
Lin Yuan looked up and saw Xu Feifei biting a straw, looking at Nangong Ye with a "troubled" expression. Her hands unconsciously clenched, her brows furrowed, and a surge of anger welled up inside her.
"You'll come and assist me at my company..."
Her voice was even colder than before, and her eyes were as cold as ice as she said, "Nangong Ye, have you said enough?"
Nangong Ye was stunned by her cold voice and icy gaze, and stopped abruptly.
Xu Feifei sensed Lin Yuan's unhappiness, so she secretly straightened her posture, looked down at her homework, and quietly pricked up her ears.
"Uh... I'm going to have breakfast first." Nangong Ye said, then slunk away.
Xu Feifei secretly watched Nangong Ye leave out of the corner of her eye, and when she secretly looked at Lin Yuan, she found that she was already doing her homework.
However, the atmosphere now is completely different from before; it's a bit somber.
"Lin Yuan, I love you so much!" Xu Feifei rushed over and hugged her arm, whispering excitedly in her ear.
Lin Yuan was stunned by the sudden hug and confession. Her mind went blank, and her breathing slowed. She turned her head and looked at the face so close to her in disbelief, her ears turning red.
"You were so cool when you stood up to the male lead, Nangong Ye, for me just now!" Xu Feifei said excitedly.
Why is it so satisfying to watch Lin Yuan roast the male lead this time, and see him looking so pitiful and humiliated with his tail between his legs? Hahahaha.
Lin Yuan subtly shifted her gaze, her face slightly flushed, and stared at the pen on the table, saying, "Don't you like Nangong Ye? Why are you happy?"
When Xu Feifei heard the words "I like Nangong Ye," she slowly released her grip on Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan looked at her released hand, the light in her eyes dimming instantly, and she gave a self-deprecating smile.
"Uh...that was all when I was a kid. Besides, I'm new here and don't know anyone, so I just wanted to find someone I know to help me integrate into school life more quickly!"
Could Xu Feifei say that she was trying to win over the male lead because she wanted to go home? Of course not!
After a long silence, Lin Yuan asked, "And now?"
Xu Feifei thought for a moment and smiled, "Now, I feel so lucky to have met you! I feel much more at ease when you're here."
With Lin Yuan around, she felt that the world wasn't as lonely, isolated, or helpless as she had imagined.
Looking into her bright and sparkling eyes, Lin Yuan was certain it was possible, and the tenderness in her eyes melted away.
"I think so too!"
