Lu Jingci? Is he waiting for her under that tree by the lake?

Xu Wuning glanced at the empty seat beside her.

Her arch-nemesis, her deskmate, hasn't returned to the classroom. What's he up to outside?

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her expression changed drastically.

That despicable Lu Jingci, could it be that he's already checked the answers? And because he got a higher score, he specifically called her outside to mock her face-to-face?

It must be like this.

Xu Wuning narrowed her eyes, capped the pen, threw it on the table, and got up to walk towards the door.

Su Wanyue, holding the chocolate she had picked up from the corner, looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Ningning, where are you going?"

"I'm going to fight Lu Jingci; he's trying to provoke me again!"

Before Su Wanyue could react, Xu Wuning had already stormed off in a huff and disappeared.

A gentle breeze wafted by the lake, and the emerald green branches of the willow trees swayed softly in the wind.

A person was standing under the tree.

In the backlight, the boy's silhouette was tinged with gold; the shoulder line of his school uniform was straight, and his features were gentle and refined as he stood quietly.

When he saw Xu Wuning walking over, his eyes lit up, then his eyelashes trembled, his ears quickly turned a light red, and he lowered his head.

Xu Wuning stood arrogantly in front of him, raising her chin. "Lu Jingci, I heard you were looking for me? What's up?"

She crossed her arms, her gaze indifferent, and assumed a fighting stance, ready to meet his provocation.

Lu Jingci nodded, her face turning even redder, and handed over an exquisite box containing a blue diamond.

Xu Wuning lowered her eyes to look at the dazzling blue diamond in the box.

What does that mean? Was it a gift for her?

Could it be that he wants to give her a diamond, and then tell her next: "Xu Wuning, your score still didn't surpass mine this time. Don't be too sad, you're too pitiful. I'll give you a gift to make up for it, you perennial runner-up."

This is blatant humiliation.

Xu Wuning gritted her teeth secretly.

Lu Jingci mustered his courage and raised his head, his voice soft and gentle, "Ningning, you said you like blue diamonds. This is one I had someone buy from an auction. Do you like it?"

Xu Wuning narrowed her eyes and asked, "Lu Jingci, what exactly are you trying to say?"

She anticipated that his next words wouldn't be anything nice; he might even say that he was still number one in the grade this time.

Xu Wuning snorted coldly, raising her arrogant chin even higher.

Available in the next second.

Lu Jingci's hand paused slightly, his eyelashes trembling violently, as if he dared not speak.

"I meant to say..."

His voice was even lower, and his entire neck turned red, with the awkwardness unique to young people, "I...I like you, Ningning."

"You were so nice to me a while ago, you even brought me milk tea, and you put medicine on my wound. Do you...do you like me?"

The moment the words left his mouth, he dared not look into her eyes, hastily averting his gaze and looking down at his toes with a sense of inferiority.

Xu Wuning's brain completely shut down; she felt a blank in her mind and kept regressing.

Who do you like?

Who likes whom? What?

Does he like her?

Aren't they mortal enemies?

Could her arch-nemesis, her deskmate, actually like her? They've been rivals for six years—has he lost his mind? Or is he drunk? Or has he lost his brain?

This is absurd, really absurd.

Are you kidding me?

Xu Wuning pinched her arm and found it hurt, realizing that she wasn't dreaming.

The warm sunlight shone on Lu Jingci's handsome face. Although he was looking down, Xu Wuning inexplicably thought he was quite handsome.

Although she had considered him her mortal enemy for six years, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: if they were together, could she crush this mortal enemy under her feet and wash away the shame of being the "perennial runner-up" all these years?

Then, tie him to the corner of the bed, make him cry hard, and make him cry and call her "Daddy".

At that time, poor Lu Jingci was in a sorry state, tears streaming down his face: "Please, it hurts so much, please let me go, Xu Wuning's father."

"I've been wrong for the past six years. I shouldn't have competed with you for first place..."

"No, please don't do this... Please, let me go."

"Lu Jingci, you little saint, what are you hiding for? Stick your butt out and I'll give you a good beating."

Hahaha, if Lu Jingci falls into her hands, he'll be bullied terribly.

Thinking of all this, Xu Wuning couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

If he wasn't joking, then it's not that I couldn't agree.

At this moment, the Blue System, which was watching the small world, naturally noticed the anomaly here.

It was discovered that when the young man confessed his feelings to Miss Xu, she hesitated for almost a minute.

Could it be that she's about to agree?

Oh no, oh no! How can the villainous female supporting character, as a mission taker, just casually date any man?

Young Master Ke instructed it to keep a close eye on this little world. If it couldn't even do this small thing well and messed up the plot, then it would be utterly useless.

suddenly.

Just as Xu Wuning cleared her throat, about to say, "It's not impossible. If you're serious, I can consider being with you,"

Blue System's eyes flashed, and he instantly pressed a key.

at the same time.

Lu Jingci raised his head, trembling with nervousness, holding his breath, and timidly awaiting Xu Wuning's answer.

Xu Wuning smiled.

The smile on her lips changed; it became a condescending, disdainful smile.

She reached out and slammed the box to the ground, then patted her hands as if they were dirty.

The box fell into the dirt, and the blue diamond spilled out.

Lu Jingci's fingers froze in mid-air, slowly curling up, and his eyes gradually reddened.

Xu Wuning's voice was filled with malice, each word sharp and icy as she spoke, "Lu Jingci, where did you get the idea that I would like you?"

"Who do you think you are? Ignoring your family background, what about you could possibly be attractive to me?"

"Let me tell you, you're nothing more than a dog I wanted to tease on a whim."

"Don't try to disgust me with your lowly 'likes,' I don't want it! Do you understand?"

Lu Jingci stood there, his trembling lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.

His eyes grew increasingly red, his shoulders trembled, and he slowly withdrew his stiff fingers one by one.

Xu Wuning looked at him coldly, her face full of disdain: "Get lost! Tomorrow is graduation, Lu Jingci, don't show your face in front of me again!"

After saying that, Xu Wuning turned and left.

When we reached the bend in the lake.

Blue System breathed a sigh of relief and clicked on the task panel again.

A glint of light flashed in Xu Wuning's eyes, and she regained her clarity.

She looked around at the scenery, shook her head, and walked towards the classroom.

"Wasn't I just checking answers in the classroom? What am I doing by the lake?"

"Why can't I remember? I'm so young, do I have Alzheimer's?"

"That's strange..."

As she walked, a gentle breeze blew through her long hair. For some reason, she felt something strange in her chest, an odd feeling.

She clutched her chest and stopped abruptly.

He turned around abruptly.

Is anyone around here? Why doesn't she want to leave?

I looked around again, and there was indeed no one there.

too weird.

She tried to move her stiff, reluctant legs. "Why are my legs behaving so uncooperatively? Could they be cramping?"

She took a deep breath, ran several steps forward, and rushed back to the classroom in one go.

Under a large tree not far away, Lu Jingci, with trembling hands and tears streaming down his face, picked up the blue diamond.

The once proud and noble young man was now crouching there, his back bent in a disheveled state, sobbing uncontrollably.

His figure was completely obscured by the trunk of the big tree.

From the lakeside, not a single detail of his clothing could be seen...
