You are like the warm sun

Chapter 22 Novel
When Shao Zhouci woke up in the morning, the girl had left, just like yesterday. Breakfast and a note she left were placed on the coffee table. The room was tidy and clean, and the garbage had been thrown away.

It’s like the snail girl has been here.

He pulled out the note, and the handwriting on it was elegant and graceful.

【Don’t be late for school. 】

After reading it, he took the note back to his room and put it in a book on the desk together with the one from yesterday.

Twelve middle schools.

Before morning reading began, students who arrived early gathered together to eat breakfast and chat.

"Hey, did you notice? Shao Zhouci and Tang Wan didn't come yesterday. Not only them, but even Liu Yong and Li Shiwen from Class 7 next door didn't come to class. Was the incident the day before yesterday such a big deal?"

"I heard that Shao Zhouci was retaliated by Liu Yong because he saved a girl. I think he has a strong sense of justice. Did we misunderstand him before?"

"Is he not coming to class today? He usually comes early. He's always in his seat when I get to class."

"Why does he come so early every day? He's not studying, is he? Hahaha."

Honestly, the academic performance of the students in Class 7 was generally poor. The top students in the class were only above average in the grade, and whenever they said they wanted to study hard, everyone would just treat it as a joke.

One girl recalled, "He wasn't studying, he seemed to be reading a novel."

"Wow, no way, reading novels? Hahaha, his otaku image has become more three-dimensional. He doesn't like to talk in class, and I always thought he was a otaku at home."

"Have you ever seen such a handsome otaku?"

"Tsk, this damn appearance-oriented society. Let me tell you, even though he looks handsome now, he will turn into a fat otaku if he stays at home for too long. It's just a matter of time." The boy who spoke showed a smile that seemed to see through everything, and then his arm was poked by the elbow of the person next to him.

"Huh? Why are you poking me?"

As they were talking, the sound of chairs being pushed and pulled could be heard from the back row. The people gathered around looked back with a hint of understanding, and sure enough, they saw that the second to last row of the second group was already occupied.

The person they had just been talking about was sitting behind them.

The boy had a cold expression and his eyes were as gloomy and cold as ever.

After sitting down, he pulled a novel from his bag and read quietly. His skin was very fair, and his lips were as red as blood. When he lowered his head, his eyelashes curled thickly, and his nose was even more handsome. He was just like the beautiful vampires described in novels.

A few people awkwardly dropped the topic and turned to other things.

"Oh, yes, speaking of novels, have you read 'Street of the Dead' written by Zhao Xin?"

"I've read it! I caught up to the latest chapter, but the author suddenly stopped updating. It's been half a month. Damn, this writing is so lagging that it makes me uncomfortable. I really want to know who the murderer is."

This is a topic among boys.

The girl next to him was a little curious: "What book? Is it good?"

"It's great! I'm telling you, it's incredibly good. Zhao Xin's 'Street of the Dead' has been at the top of the men's charts for weeks now. It's the first time I've seen such an amazing suspense writer. It's just that it's not finished yet, and the author has stopped updating."

"He has another book, which is already finished. It's called 'Sleeping Witness'. It's also quite good, very scary and exciting..."

When the girl heard that it was a book for boys, she was not very interested because she didn’t like suspense and horror novels.

But seeing that the boy was talking so enthusiastically, she just listened quietly beside him.

The discussion in the front row was heated, while the back row formed a quiet little world of its own.
