Shen Nan opened his textbook.

Fingertips made a faint rustling sound as they skimmed across the pages. He looked at his own immature notes, filled with colorful doodles, and couldn't help but laugh.

He really misses his student days. Later, as he delved deeper into the criminal underworld, he became more and more reluctant to touch the books he had saved, as if even looking at them was an insult to his former self. However, when Shaobei set his house on fire, he would recklessly rush in to try and save the books.

Although in the end, what he brought out was a burning, curled-up piece of paper that had already been burned halfway through. He watched helplessly as the yellowed paper turned into ashes and scattered in the wind, unable to grasp it no matter what.

Just like the lost years of youth, it is only when he rejects you, and not when you reject him.

Since around that time, he became even more ruthless and cunning. That fire caused by Shao Bei may not have taken any lives, but it burned away the person he used to be.

He revealed a nostalgic smile, his eyes sparkling like stars.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to his breakup message and never received a response.

During the entire class, Shao Bei was not paying attention at all. Physics was already mind-boggling, and when he was called up to solve a problem, he copied the data incorrectly with just a wave of his hand. When he was drafting his answer, he wrote the wrong result again. The physics teacher just watched without reminding him. After he exerted a great deal of effort to figure it out, the physics teacher asked him, "Are you sleepwalking?"

Shao Bei looked bewildered.

And then, I was pointed out by the teacher one after another, helplessly having to return to my seat.

His cellphone was still lit up, and the breakup message from Shen Nan was still displayed on the screen. After that, Shen Nan did not send any more messages.

After class, he wanted to go find Shen Nan, but was stopped by the teacher who earnestly advised him for a while. In the end, the teacher rewarded him with a set of exercises that was said to be only given to inner disciples, and asked him to take it back and practice.

Shao Bei: "......"

Just like that, he was delayed and was unable to find Shen Nan during the break to ask her about it.

Gong Xiao, the student sitting at the same desk, noticed his furrowed brow and distraught expression. He dragged a chair over, causing an eerie creaking sound on the floor.

They sit at single-person desks, making it incredibly convenient during exams. Just remove two rows, give it a pull, and it's all taken care of.

Gong Xiao asked, "What's wrong with you? How could you make such a mistake in answering the question?"

Shao Bei's brows never relaxed: "Nan Nan wants to break up with me."

"What?!"

Gong Xiao immediately jumped up and shouted, causing the entire class to look at the two of them.

Gong Xiao felt heartbroken as if he had been dumped by himself, and he painfully exclaimed, "How could you two do this! Are you trying to leave me with no way out?!"

Shaobei was inexplicably blamed for something she didn't do and firmly refused to take the blame, saying, "If Nannan broke up with me, why should you be left with no way out?"

His voice wasn't loud, with a slightly hoarse tone that lingered from his youth. Coupled with a hint of confusion in the air, it emitted a touch of sexiness.

Just because he spoke while the whole class was quiet, everyone exploded.

At that moment, Shao Bei could only hear the buzzing of flies in his ears, which was so annoying that it made his mind feel restless. He had no choice but to use a book to slap the table, gradually bringing tranquility to his surroundings.

The last sentence floated into his ears: "I will never believe in love again, sob sob sob."

Shao Bei: "......"

The speaker is their class representative, Ning Shulan. She is a formidable science prodigy who should not be underestimated. She has never scored anything less than full marks in mathematics, which makes the boys feel inferior. What is even more terrifying is that she is also a sporty person, excelling in basketball, badminton, and billiards. She can go solo in a game without any problems.

She wasn't stunningly beautiful in a way that would catch people's attention, but she exuded self-confidence and elegance. This inner beauty made her even more captivating, and as a result, she was elected as the class flower — in a class that only had ten girls.

The school beauty Gao Yi and Shen Nanshao are in the same class, surrounded by two handsome guys from different grades. Despite the attention they receive, they remain calm and collected. They help each other receive love letters until they become experts in writing them.

Unfortunately, the class beauty is a pessimist when it comes to love. This stems from her unfortunate family background, and also because she has not encountered anyone she deems worthy. Faced with the few pursuers, she is simply ruthless - either they have to surpass her in academics, or in sports, causing all the young people who just wanted to have a peaceful and beautiful romance with her to scatter and flee.

Until later when she found out that Shao Bei and Shen Nan were together, she became so excited as if she was getting married herself.

Ning Shulan at that moment was like the master of ceremonies at a wedding, with Shen Nan on her left and Shao Bei on her right. With tears in her eyes, she joined their hands together and said, "You must be together forever, no matter in sickness or health, in poverty or wealth. You are the beacon that guides me in the path of love, the spark that ignites my anticipation for love. As long as you are together, I believe in love!"

At that time, Shen Nan cried and laughed helplessly, saying, "Xiao Lanzi, please don't find a girlfriend."

However, now her love lighthouse and the flame of love have both extinguished.

Ning Shulan slammed the table and glared at Shao Bei with an angry expression, charging towards him: "Speak! Have you betrayed Shen Nan!"

Shao Bei: "......"
