"Lin Yu, what does your family do?" Sun Zheng curiously inquired. Everyone always chattered on about their own family matters, but Lin Yu had never spoken about hers.

"My family is quite ordinary. We're far behind if compared to you, so let's not talk about it," Lin Yu said with an awkward smile.

Sun Zheng responded with an "oh," then turned around and joined in the playfulness with other classmates.

As the bell rang, Lin Yu placed the book on the table. Qin Chuan seemed like a person who didn't like to talk much, but as soon as class started, he unleashed an extraordinary force and talked nonstop with the teacher, earning constant praise. Although Lin Yu had been informed by Su Yi at lunchtime, she didn't know anything like Qin Chuan did. Unable to hold back, she asked at the end of class, "How do you know all this?"

During the summer vacation, my parents made me attend all sorts of bridging classes. I have studied this particular book already," Qin Chuan said as he adjusted his rectangular glasses, appearing every bit the stereotypical bookworm.

"Transfer class?" Lin Yu had never attended a transfer class before.

"You haven't attended the bridging course?" Another male student turned his head. He was the newly elected class monitor of their class, named Sun Yang.

Lin Yudian nodded slightly, "I have never been there before."

"No way." Sun Yang looked at him as if he was looking at some rare object, and couldn't help but size up Lin Yu.

Embarrassed, Lin Yu nodded and, fearing that Sun Yang would dig deeper, casually replied a few words before turning her head back and following Gao Yuan's conversation.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what urgent matter was there at noon that made you leave in such a rush?"

Lin Yu shook her head and said, "There is no urgent matter."

"That Senior Su..." Gao Yuan lowered his voice and looked at Lin Yu suspiciously.

Lin Yu thought for a moment. Gao Yuan was the only friend she knew at this school, and he was always quick-witted. If anything happened, he might be able to give her some advice.

Then let me tell you, you have to keep your mouth shut tight, and no one can say a word.

Looking at Lin Yu's mysterious expression, Gao Yuan quickly nodded and said, "I promise not to tell anyone. Only heaven and earth know, and you know that I know. Otherwise, I would rather be pierced by ten thousand arrows..."

Lin Yu spat a few times in a row and said, "Alright, enough! No matter what, he didn't want his good buddy to feel hurt by those kind of words, it wouldn't be good to say things like that."

Lin Yu hooked her finger and leaned over, bringing her ear closer to Gao Yuan's.

Su Yi... he said he has feelings for me.

"Nani?" Gao Yuan widened his eyes, his mouth gaping even wider than a goose egg.

Lin Yudian nodded and nervously made a "shushing" gesture, saying, "I don't know what to do either. I'm a straight guy."

"Tsk." Gao Yuan sneered disdainfully and said, "Before encountering true love, anyone could claim to be a straight man."

Lin Yuyu glared at him, but the ringing of the bell interrupted their conversation, forcing them to temporarily change the subject. However, in her mind, Su Yi's exceptionally gentle appearance kept lingering, and she couldn't shake it off no matter how hard she tried.

Towards the end of the last class, Teacher Gao, the homeroom teacher, stood at the podium and put down the textbook, saying: "In order to allow students to adjust their learning in a timely manner, our school has always had a rule: a minor test every three days, and a major test every five days. So you need to be mentally prepared. The day after tomorrow happens to be Friday, and all-day self-study on Saturday will be turned into a testing time for what you've learned these past few days. Please review in a timely manner. Today's homework will be sent by each subject teacher in the class group. Alright, class is dismissed now."

Lin Yu bowed along with all the classmates. After packing up the textbooks, she realized the meaning behind what Jiang Yu had said to her that day, "The good times are over." With quizzes every three days and major exams every five days, her nerves were being worn thin.

"Xiao Yu!"

Lin Yu looked up and saw Jiang Yu and Su Yi standing in front of her classroom door, attracting the attention of many students who kept turning their heads.

"Lin Yu, you still know Chairman Su? Amazing, amazing!" Sun Zheng popped up from behind, shocking Lin Yu.

"Ah... it's not..."

Lin Yu felt a little at a loss. With someone constantly around her like this, her classmates would inevitably misunderstand sooner or later.

Gao Yuan, you go back first. There is no evening self-study tonight, I will come find you later.

"No need to wait for him." Su Yi walked forward and smiled, saying, "You're not available tonight."

.

Gao Yuan wiped off some sweat from his forehead. Although he had been scolded by Lin Yu before for reading too many frivolous comics, when something like this actually happened to him, he couldn't help but feel the blood in his veins boil. "No worries, Lin Yu, you and Senior should be together. I'll leave now."

Lin Yu sighed bitterly. It was one thing not knowing what happened before, but now that she knew, it felt like she had abandoned herself.

"Rest assured, Xiao Yu, we won't really kidnap you. Come on, let's go out and celebrate your successful school enrollment with a good meal," Jiang Yu pushed Lin Yu joyfully.

"Hey, doesn't the school only lift access control on Sundays?" Lin Yu looked at them curiously.

With Chairman Su here, what does the security system matter?" Jiang Yu grinned and cast a playful glance at Su Yi. The last time she sneaked out during a power and water outage, she had borrowed Su Yi's identity.

With an anxious and uneasy heart, Lin Yu followed them to the school gate. The security guard uncle immediately walked out of the small security room and said, "Is Chairman Su going out to attend to some business again?"

"No, this time I will take him out for a meal," Su Yi said frankly.

The security guard glanced at Lin Yu and smiled, "First year of high school, right? Not bad, not bad."

"Thank you." Su Yi smiled, taking Lin Yu's hand and walking out confidently.

"What's the meaning of the security guard just now...?"

He thought we were in a romantic relationship. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yi wrapped her arm around Lin Yu's, smiling in an affectionate manner.

"Hey, don't... don't mess around." Lin Yuxin hurriedly lowered her head, feeling guilty.

"Do you two ever stop?" Jiang Yu was so exhausted that she didn't even have the strength to roll her eyes. She quickly dragged the two of them to a bustling street stall not far from the school. It was not even six o'clock, and there were already hardly any seats left.

"In the future, don't waste money like this. Actually, the school cafeteria is pretty good." Lin Yu looked at the prices on the menu and felt a bit uneasy. After looking around, she finally handed the menu over to Su Yi.

"Having it once in a while is no problem. What do you feel like eating?"

"Then... how about chives and eggs?"

Jiang Yu and Su Yi both looked up at him.

"Not bad, Zhuangyang."

"Um, nourishing the kidneys."

"...Can you guys be more serious."

"I can be serious, but can he?" Jiang Yu provocatively raised an eyebrow. Lin Yu looked up, and Su Yi gazed at him affectionately, lightly hooking her hand around his waist and quietly biting his ear.

"Don't worry, I don't need to replenish this thing, and it won't be lacking."

Lin Yu's face turned red in an instant, and she quickly turned her head and pushed Su Yi away, saying, "I'm not inferior either."
