The way Shao Bei hurried back with lunch in his hands was like three capitalized, moving words in Shen Nan's eyes -

'Boyfriend'

It should be bold and in black, with an exclamation mark shape.

Shen Nan couldn't figure out how the plot from ten years ago had developed into such a state. The school doctor claimed that their relationship was widely known, but Shen Nan didn't believe it. The school doctor then logged into the school forum on their phone, and the first post that appeared was highlighted in red with an "excellent" rating:

"South and North alliance, distribute food every day!"

The first sentence from the OP was: "North and south are just names for convenience, they do not represent offense or defense. PS: To be honest, the OP favors the southern side."

Shen Nan: "......"

Shen Nan thought that his rebirth might be false.

Shao Bei laid out the dishes on the table, with two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and a soup, all of which were heavily seasoned, just the way Shen Nan liked them. The stir-fried baby bok choy stood out amidst the vibrant colors, looking exceptionally fresh and elegant.

Shao Bei placed the rice in front of him, snapped open a pair of disposable chopsticks, scraped off the burrs against each other, and then handed them to Shen Nan.

Shen Nan: "...Thank you."

Shao Bei was taken aback, furrowing his brow with distress. "Nannan, are you upset?"

Shen Nan was inexplicably angered and asked, "Why am I getting angry?"

Between him and Shao Bei, a deep seated hatred had long consumed any room for reconciliation or forgiveness.

Shao Bei put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "I know what Li Er did today was wrong, but it's also not right for you to directly attack him." He carefully observed Shen Nan's expression and tried to please him, saying, "I definitely stand on your side."

Shen Nan was startled, his body covered in goosebumps.

After getting used to the ten years of the uncompromising and ruthless Northern Young Master, unexpectedly encountering this Shaobei who knows not whether he has grown any body hair yet, Shen Nan still feels a little uneasy.

He tried hard to search in the dusty memories of the past ten years, barely recalling something about Arbor Day and sophomore year.

The middle school that he and Shao Bei attended was a school that advocated the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical health, aesthetics, and labor skills. Every year on Arbor Day, they would mobilize students to plant trees on the campus. Now, the school has an uneven forest, which is the result of the efforts of previous generations of students.

In the morning, there are four classes - Wen I, Wen II, Li I, and Li II - planting together. With over a hundred people crowded together, friction is inevitable. Moreover, there has been an ongoing feud between Du Yu, the leader of Li II, and Shen Nan since their first year of high school. When they encountered each other in the cafeteria after being split into the arts and sciences streams in their second year, the atmosphere became tense.

Shen Nanyin vaguely remembered that when they were planting trees, several boys in their class dug a hole together. Just as they were huffing and puffing to lift the young sapling, it was usurped by Du Yujiao.

The fruits of their labor were suddenly snatched away, causing the male students in Class 1 to become extremely angry. They immediately began arguing with Du Yu and his group. As the troublemaker of the class, Shen Nan escalated the situation as soon as he stepped onto the battlefield. Engaging in a war of words was not going to resolve the matter, so Shen Nan rolled up his sleeves and got down to business.

Fighting always gets people hot-blooded. This fight was fierce, with both classes being pulled apart by Shao Bei and the teacher. All the boys from Class 1 suffered injuries, and the boys from Class 2 also had swollen faces. Afterward, both classes received criticism and were reported. Shen Nan and Du Yu were also punished.

As for why he was able to dig out this matter from the distant memory, it was because after his parents found out about it, Shen Nan experienced a punishment from his family that he had not encountered since junior high school, and he was also observed by Shao Bei throughout the whole process.

During their fierce decade-long struggle, he had always regarded this matter as a disgrace.

Shao Bei said, "I have already persuaded the director not to punish you. The school-wide review will take place next Monday."

Shen Nan looked at Shao Bei.

Unlike the previous life, in the previous life, Shao Bei never got involved, or rather, ever since Sheng Nan chose literature and Shao Bei chose logic, their relationship was no longer as intimate as before.

At that time, Shen Nan felt a deep sense of sadness: Wenli is truly a weapon that destroys friendship!

But now, he was brought to the infirmary by Shao Bei, who even helped him lift the punishment.

Nevertheless, Shen Nan did not let his guard down.

Who can guarantee that at this time, Shao Bei isn't deliberately taking advantage of the opportunity to be kind to him in order to gain his trust?

Shao Bei handed him a piece of Kung Pao Chicken.

Shen Nan squinted his eyes.

The enemy's sugar-coated bullets are too powerful, he needs to stay steady!

Then he mixed the diced chicken and rice together and took a bite.

Delicious.

Shao Bei looked at his plump and twitching cheeks, unable to help but smile, then he picked up a slice of boiled pork and served it to him.

Shen Nanye was indeed hungry. Without even resolving his basic physiological needs, he didn't bother with concerns of safety for the time being.

Shaobei didn't take more than a few bites of his meal; he fed the rest to Shen Nan's stomach.

Shen Nan leaned against the head of the bed, enjoying the satisfaction of being well-fed and fully quenched. He squinted lazily like a contented cat, his gaze following Shao Bei's movements as she tidied up.

Shao Bei threw the plastic lunch box into the trash can, and when he returned, he suddenly noticed that Shen Nan had a pale complexion and beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

He was greatly shocked and exclaimed, "Nannan! What happened to you!"

Shen Nan clutched his stomach tightly, experiencing waves of spasms and excruciating pain. He struggled to lift his gaze towards Shao Bei and gritted his teeth, saying, "You..."

Shao Bei reached out to rub his stomach, but Shen Nan slapped his hand away.

Shen Nan stared at him intently, eyes filled with a deep-seated hatred. "Did you, did you poison them?"

Shao Bei: "?"

Shen Nan was still regretting to himself, thinking, "It's said to be a sugar-coated bullet, why can't I remember?"
