Su Wanyue continued, "From which year did you travel here? If it's the future, did I become a great beauty? Or will I still have a flat chest?"

"Who did I marry? Wasn't he an incredibly handsome guy, a hundred times more handsome than that ugly Xie Yu?"

"Or perhaps you were reborn, and someone stabbed you to death in your past life? You shouted, 'If I could do it all over again, I would never...' and then unlocked the rebirth code."

Xie Yu was furious behind him, and almost choked on the potato chips he was chewing:

"Su Wanyue, I only ate two extra potato chips, is it really necessary for you to make a personal attack? Who's the ugly one? Do you know that I and Lu Jingci made it into the top three of the school's most handsome guys list right after the start of the semester?"

"Rebirth and time travel? Can you please stop being so unconventional? Have you ruined your brain from reading too many novels?"

"Marrying a super handsome guy? You're only good enough for someone like me. Stop daydreaming."

"And Xu Wuning, what TV series are you acting in? Just admit you haven't finished your homework, no need to pretend you have amnesia."

Su Wanyue glared at him: "To be worthy of someone like you? I must be incredibly unlucky to have married you!"

The two started arguing again, bickering and arguing incessantly.

Xu Wuning was already used to it, and gave an awkward laugh, "I'm going to do my homework first."

She first glanced down at the timetable, checked the subjects, and determined that it should be the first year of junior high school.

Then she turned her head and glanced at the blackboard at the back of the classroom, which displayed the content of the orientation ceremony.

The assessment is complete; this was just a few days into the first year of junior high school.

Why did she come at this time?

Does this timing have any special significance? Could it be a random landing?

This little world is so unstable right now. She thought she would stay in one place, but that's not the case. Now, she stays in one place for a while, and then suddenly moves to another place. It's just jumping around randomly.

However, at this point in time, it's just the beginning of the first year of junior high school.

This was the first time she and Lu Jingci had met since they grew up, aside from the time she was kidnapped as children.

Xu Wu lowered her gaze.

While on the system website, she saw scenes from her memories. Why did Lu Jingci come to this junior high school? Because he found out that she went to this school, so he begged his grandfather.

At this time, school had just started, and Lu Jingci didn't dare to talk to her. On the sixth day, when homework was collected, he mustered up a lot of courage and came to find her.

He was at a loss for words and asked cautiously, "Xu Wuning, do you remember me?"

He probably wanted to ask if she remembered him about the kidnapping incident when she was a child.

But what did she say back then? She had forgotten about the kidnapping; she only remembered that Lu Jingci had scored higher than her on the entrance exam. She said impatiently in a cold voice, "I remember, didn't the teacher introduce him on the first day of school? Class monitor, Lu Jingci."

"However, what I hate most is a little saint like you."

"Don't come near me for the next three years, and stay away from me, or I'll beat you until you're crying for your dad!"

So, during their three years of junior high school, although they were in the same class, they barely spoke a few words to each other. In addition, she always wanted to be number one and regarded Lu Jingci as her biggest rival, never giving him a kind look.

The whole class knew that the two of them didn't get along.

She avoids places where Lu Jingci is, and she especially refuses to participate in groups where Lu Jingci is present. She dislikes Lu Jingci and ignores him.

Her goal at the time was to stay away from Lu Jingci, surpass him, and become the top student in her grade.

So, Lu Jingci must have felt very lost during those three years of junior high school.

She not only forgot him, but also disliked him very much.

Their relationship only improved later, when they went to high school and became deskmates, forcing them to talk. Gradually, by their junior and senior years of high school, their relationship eased up.

Therefore, these three years of junior high school should have been the worst period of their relationship in their lives.

Xu Wuning snapped out of her thoughts.

Just then, a boy in the front row shouted:

"The class monitor came back from the office. The math teacher probably asked him to collect the homework. Oh crap, I haven't finished yet! Can anyone lend me their work to copy?"

Many students in the class became anxious and quickly began to write furiously. Some had already finished writing and were taking things out of their bags.

Su Wanyue and Xie Yu panicked and forgot about eating their potato chips.

Su Wanyue patted Xu Wuning on the shoulder, "Ningning, hurry up and let me copy your math homework!"

Xu Wuning couldn't figure out what yesterday's math homework was, so she opened her schoolbag and said, "Take it yourself."

Su Wanyue quickly pulled an exercise book out of her schoolbag.

Xie Yu also wanted to copy, "I'll copy too. Su Wanyue, turn around and put Xu Wuning's homework between us."

「苏宛月,你捂住干什幺?我错了行不行,你能嫁给大帅哥行不行,你快给我抄抄!要是作业没写完叫家长,我爸一定会揍死我。」

Amidst the commotion, Xu Wuning looked up at Lu Jingci, who was walking in through the door.

The boy had gentle features and a refined appearance. His eyes were a light amber color, which were exceptionally clear when illuminated by the sunlight. He wore a blue and white school uniform with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing a section of his fair wrists, which looked clean and tidy.

Perhaps sensing Xu Wuning's gaze, he looked up and unexpectedly met her smiling eyes.

moment.

He hurriedly looked away, his eyelids trembled, and he lowered his head in self-consciousness, his ears turning red.

Was she looking at him?

She's looking at him, isn't she?

However, they haven't spoken a single word to each other since the start of the semester; he doesn't dare to talk to her.

Two days ago, she overheard her telling Su Wanyue, "The kind of saint I hate the most is Lu Jingci."

She hates him.

So it must be an illusion. She wouldn't look at him with a smile; her eyes always held disgust.

Lu Jingci's eyes reddened, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his surging emotions, and went to collect the math homework.

Amidst the chaotic frenzy of the whole class copying homework.

Lu Jingci only collected a small amount of homework, and he passed by Xu Wuning's desk.

For some reason, he suddenly wanted to ask her if she still remembered him.

She probably doesn't remember. She hates him so much; her eyes are filled with disgust and unfamiliarity.

But he still wanted to ask.

Just once.

at last.

He mustered up a lot of courage, his Adam's apple bobbing, his fingertips trembling, and stood next to Xu Wuning.

Behind them, Su Wanyue and Xie Yu were still frantically copying their homework.

Xie Yu panicked even more. "Class monitor, could you please stand next to someone else and wait? Don't stand next to me. You're making me very nervous."

Su Wanyue's hand was practically sparking from writing. "Yeah, class monitor, go stand over there. We're getting anxious waiting like this. I'm almost done writing. Can you go collect other people's papers first?"

"Please, class monitor, don't just stand there. I'm so anxious I can't even write properly..."

Lu Jingci didn't look at the two of them, but looked at Xu Wuning.

He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, his eyelashes trembled violently, and his lips quivered with nervousness.

"Xu Wuning, do you still remember me?"

Su Wanyue and Xie Yu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, the class monitor was calling Ningning, not the two of them.

They were so engrossed in copying homework that they didn't pay any attention to what they were saying, nor did they notice that Lu Jingci seemed to know Ningning before.

Xu Wuning looked up and met his eyes.

The air around the two of them seemed to have stopped moving.

Lu Jingci could hear his own heartbeat getting faster and faster, each beat heavier than the last.

He watched her blink slowly, without answering immediately.

In that instant, his heart sank to the bottom.

Just when he thought Xu Wuning would say "I don't remember" in the next second, his gaze dimmed in disappointment, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes went out.

His eyes were even redder at the corners, and his eyelashes cast a small, trembling shadow under his eyes. The edges of his workbook were wrinkled from his pinching.

I don't remember. I really don't remember.

He walked with heavy legs, a tear sliding down his cheek, just as he was about to leave.

Just as he lifted his foot—

A hand landed on his shoulder.

It wasn't a hard pat; I gently patted him, and I could feel a warm touch through the fabric of his school uniform.

Lu Jingci trembled all over, froze on the spot, and even stopped breathing.

He dared not turn around.

Xu Wuning's lazy, playful laughter came from behind: "Why are you standing so far away? Lu Jingci, come closer."

He slowly turned around.

Xu Wuning smiled, raised an eyebrow, clicked her tongue, and beckoned to him with her finger:

"It's still too far."

"Come closer and listen before I answer your question."

"By the way, I'll tell you a secret..."
