After this incident of crossing the line, Lin Yu found it even harder to meet Su Yi's gaze. Pretending to have a hazy memory due to drunkenness, Lin Yu avoided mentioning anything that happened in the bathroom, which was too embarrassing to bring up.

Sitting in his seat and staring off into space after class, he watched as his female classmates gathered in groups and headed to the restroom. He couldn't help feeling curious as to why they all went together... But then, with that thought, he recalled the time he and Su Yi had taken a bath together. Instantly, his cheeks flushed red, and the temperature inside him soared. He estimated that if Sun Zheng or Qin Chuan were to place a raw egg on his face at that moment, it would cook instantly.

"Lin Yu, what are you thinking about? Let's go out and play some ball during the long break," Gao Yuan leaned on the table and tapped him on the back.

"I didn't think much..."

"Is it related to Senior Su Yi?"

As soon as Gao Yuan's voice fell, Lin Yu immediately sat up straight, appearing extremely worried. He vigorously shook his hand, as if desperately trying to emphasize something to Gao Yuan. This made Gao Yuan even more certain that there must be something going on here.

"Lin Yu, there's a senior student looking for you outside."

Lin Yu looked up, the girl who had been speaking had already returned to her seat, but her gaze continued to sway uncertainly outside the window, and her cheeks were now adorned with two rosy clouds more than before.

Gao Yuan patted Lin Yu's back and leaned in close to his ear with a smirk, "Could it be that Su Yi, our senior, is missing you?"

Lin Yu glared at his playful face, gave him a push and quickly walked out.

"Jiang Hai?"

A hint of disappointment flickered in Lin Yu's eyes. The astonished tone made Jiang Hai's heart skip a beat. He put his hands in his pockets and looked at him with a smirk, saying, "Who do you think I am? Su Yi?"

"No... no, it's not." Lin Yu lowered her head and chuckled nervously, her forehead glistening with sweat. "Do you need something from me?"

"Tomorrow evening, there will be a drama creation exhibition at school. I want you to join me."

Jiang Hai revealed his standard eight teeth, and Lin Yu suddenly realized that actually, his appearance... is somewhat reminiscent of...

"Do you promise?"

"Ah?" Lin Yu snapped back to reality and hesitated as she said, "But senior... I really don't know how to do it. Why don't you find someone else? I'm really not skilled in this area. If I cause you to miss the award because of me, I will feel extremely guilty."

"I don't want to partner with anyone except you."

"Senior, I really can't do it."

"Lin Yu, you can definitely do it."

The preparation bell had rung, but Lin Yu was stopped by Jiang Hai outside the classroom. As the teacher in charge was about to come over, Lin Yu became anxious and sweat dripped down his forehead. "Alright, alright, I promise you. Now, quickly let me go back to class."

Jiang Hai let go of his arms and smiled brightly, "I'll come pick you up after school in the afternoon for rehearsal. See you there."

Lin Yu hurriedly ran back to the classroom. Just as he sat down, Gao Yuan tapped his back with his pen cap and asked, "Is it him? Is it?"

"It's not, it's Jiang Hai."

"Him? What does he want to find you for?" Gao Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Let me accompany him as his partner in performing the stage play. I don't understand anything about this... Gao Yuan, how about you go in my place after school?"

"Did you agree?"

"If you don't agree, then you won't let me come in and attend the class."

"Well, in that case, it seems like you'll just have to grit your teeth and forge ahead."

Lin Yu sighed and slumped onto the desk, wearing an expression of desolation. As the teacher entered the classroom, Lin Yu couldn't focus during this class at all. All they wished for was that the end of the school day would come later, or perhaps someone would temporarily replace them, allowing them to escape this ordeal.

Jiang Hai was delighted to receive Lin Yu's agreement. Although he was late, he strolled confidently into the classroom. The teacher merely glanced at him without saying anything. This young master was fortunate enough to be able to attend class.

As Jiang Hai passed by Su Yi's seat, he whispered with a hint of satisfaction, "This time, you were too slow."

As soon as the dismissal bell rang, everyone except Lin Yu seemed to have just woken up. The evening without self-study should have been a very good one. However, as soon as Lin Yu walked out of the classroom, he saw Jiang Hai standing not far from the entrance, waving at him.

"Gao Yuan, why don't you accompany me?"

"I won't go. Given your intricate and complicated relationship, Su Yi, the senior student, will definitely come to help you out. Then, I'll be left out alone again." Gao Yuan grinned and patted Lin Yu's shoulder, exuding an air of someone about to be entrusted with a great responsibility. "Good luck!"

Yeah, Su Yi, and Su Yi, how did I forget about him?

"Linyu, it's time to go."

"Um, okay." Lin Yu glanced around, and everywhere she looked, there were crowds of people bustling about.

When Lin Yu arrived at the dance studio, she stood in front of the wall mirror, holding the script that Jiang Hai had given her. She was at a loss for words.

"Jiang Hai, I'm really going to be a burden to you," Lin Yu exclaimed in frustration.

"It's okay, I'll teach you." Jiang Hai smirked, sat up from the ground, and personally demonstrated the rich expressions and movements of the characters in the stage play to Lin Yu. With Lin Yu's quick wit, she quickly caught on and grasped the key points. The two of them were able to cooperate smoothly.

Unknowingly, it was almost 7 o'clock. Lin Yu stopped and took a sip of water. He took out his phone from his backpack, and the dozens of missed calls displayed on the screen made his heart skip a beat. He quickly returned the calls and walked outside the classroom, avoiding Jiang Hai.

"Where are you?" Su Yi's voice was as cold as frost.

"I... I am in the dance studio."

"Why didn't you pick up the phone?"

"I didn't see it."

Su Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Why didn't you come back to do your homework so late? What were you doing?"

"Jiang Hai asked me to partner with him and act in a stage play..." Lin Yu's voice grew softer and softer, afraid that Su Yi would burst out yelling at her over the phone. But then she thought, they weren't even in a relationship, so why does he have the right to yell at her?

"Jiang Hai?" Su Yi snorted coldly, "I'll be there right away."

"Uh...no need...huh?" Lin Yu's mind was in a mess. Jiang Hai was calling him in the classroom, saying that it was the last rehearsal of the day.

"Lai le." Lin Yu put away her phone, feeling restless and uneasy.

Halfway through the rehearsal, Su Yi walked in without saying much and lifted Lin Yu's backpack from the ground before pulling him away.

"Why do you think you can take him away, Su Yi?" Jiang Hai stood in front of the door, grabbing Lin Yu's other hand tightly.

"Jiang Hai, stay away from me and everything that belongs to me. I will never acknowledge you."

Joke, do I need you to admit it? Lin Yu is single and free. You have no right to interfere with whatever he wants to do.

As Lin Yu watched the two people confront each other, she felt her head was about to explode: "Stop arguing, you two."

"Xiaoyu, do you want to come back with me?" Su Yi took a deep breath and glanced at Lin Yu. Even Jiang Hai had a hopeful look in his eyes, all focused on Lin Yu.

"Well...how about we stop here for today, Jiang Hai. I'll come when the competition takes place tomorrow night." Su Yi bit her lip, then pulled her arm out of Jiang Hai's grip as she walked past him.

Jiang Hai stood in place and looked at his empty palm, self-deprecatingly tugging at the corner of his mouth. Will she come?
