I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

"Take another look," Lin Zhou said, pointing to his face.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuru had no choice but to raise her head again, but as soon as her exposed eyes met Lin Zhou's, a blush crept onto her face.

She was trying very hard to identify them, but she kept unconsciously shifting her gaze to their nose, mouth, or glasses, and just couldn't bear to stare at those eyes for long.

He's so handsome... and he keeps staring at other people, that's weird.

Lin Zhou stood there waiting for a long time, watching Tang Yuru look from his hair to his collar, and then back to his glasses, but without showing any sign of realizing what was going on. Finally, he couldn't help but ask.

"So, do you remember now?"

"It feels a little familiar..." Tang Yuru hesitated, clutching the edge of her apron, before finally shaking her head and whispering.

"But I really can't remember. I'm sorry. Maybe I've seen you at the academy before. After all, you're so conspicuous, I should have some impression of you."

Lin Zhou was slightly pleased to hear the word "conspicuous," but he quickly realized that the point was not that at all. He had only changed his hairstyle and put on glasses, yet his ex-girlfriend really didn't recognize him.

They've been talking for at least a month, haven't they?

For that month, the two of them saw each other almost every day, eating and chatting together. Sometimes they would even walk together after school. Now, standing face to face, Tang Yuru could only conclude after looking at them for a long time that "they might have met before at the academy."

That's outrageous! That's outrageous!

Lin Zhou turned on the glasses with a blank expression.

Hmm? You're a tiger cub too?

He took a sip of lemon tea, put one hand in his pocket and leaned forward slightly. He was originally prepared to tell the other party his identity directly, but seeing that Tang Yuru did not recognize him at all, he suddenly changed his mind.

Isn't this perfect?

Normally, if he gets even slightly close to Tang Yuru, this guy will basically bow his head, apologize, and run away in one fell swoop.

I couldn't get a single word out about why we suddenly broke up. Now she doesn't even know who she is, so I can take this opportunity to subtly ask her.

Upon realizing this, Lin Zhou's expression immediately became natural. "Um, classmate."

"Um?"

"do you have a boyfriend?"

Tang Yuru was clearly stunned. "Why...why are you suddenly asking this?"

"I'm just curious."

"But..." Tang Yuru glanced at the lemon tea that had just been sold beside her, then looked back at Lin Zhou, finally mustering a little courage to retort in a low voice.

"Don't ask such private questions just because you bought a cup of lemon tea... I'll give you your money back."

"?" The other person's voice was still soft and gentle, but Lin Zhou was still taken aback.

They will refute it.

Previously, Tang Yuru was the type who would start wondering if she had done something wrong if someone spoke to her in a slightly harsh tone. Now, she actually dared to tell him directly that he was asking too many questions.

That's progress.

"I was just asking out of curiosity. If you don't want to answer, that's fine. I didn't force you," Lin Zhou said.

"..."

Tang Yuru thought about it carefully.

But this kind of thing is really strange, isn't it? It's just a guy I met for the first time. He came in and bought a cup of lemon tea, and then he started asking me if I had a boyfriend.

Could it be... that he's trying to pick me up?

The other person shrank back slightly.

If it really was a flirting attempt...

What should I do?

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it." Seeing that she hadn't said anything for a while, Lin Zhou deliberately tried to change the subject.

"No..." Tang Yuru blurted out instinctively.

"Um?"

"Not now."

Lin Zhou's eyes lit up slightly. "So that happened before?"

"Hmm..." Tang Yuru nodded gently, and only after speaking did she realize that she had actually been tricked into revealing information by a stranger. She then pursed her lips in annoyance.

Why do you say everything?

Lin Zhou seized the opportunity to ask, "How long did you talk?"

I won't tell you.

Tang Yuru finally realized what was going on. No matter how much Lin Zhou asked, she kept her head down and only repeated "I won't tell you." Her way of guarding the secret surprised Lin Zhou.

It seems he's not the same simpleton he used to be, who could easily lie and reveal how many pigs he owned back home.

Lin Zhou thought for a moment, then changed the subject, "Since you're so reluctant to talk about it, it seems your ex-boyfriend wasn't very good."

"no!"

The voice suddenly rose in pitch.

Not to mention Lin Zhou, even a few students passing by were startled and subconsciously looked over at the lemon tea stall.

Tang Yuru herself was also stunned.

She had almost thought of rebutting without a second thought, but when she realized that people were watching her, her posture, which had just straightened up a little, instantly shrank back, her shoulders gradually tucked in, and her head lowered, her long bangs almost covering her entire face.

"..." How embarrassing.

It looked as if water vapor was rising from the surface.

Tang Yuru huddled behind her apron and remained silent for a few seconds until the people around her looked away again. Then, in a voice many times softer than before, she added, "He... he's a really nice person."

"Is it really that good?" Lin Zhou asked.

"Um."

"Is he handsome?"

Tang Yuru did not answer.

Lin Zhou leaned forward deliberately. "You're not even as handsome as me, are you?"

"..." Who would ask such a question themselves?

Tang Yuru secretly glanced at Lin Zhou, but quickly looked back at the table because he was also looking at her.

"More or less..." Tang Yuru hesitated for a long time before answering, "He's much thinner than you..."

"Huh?" Lin Zhou was immediately dissatisfied. "What do you mean by 'almost'?"

"Well... they're all very beautiful." Tang Yuru had no choice but to answer honestly, keeping her head down.

"And his personality?" Lin Zhou pressed on, "He's not the kind of jerk who treats you terribly, but you still defend him after the breakup, is he?"

"No, he's very good to me." Tang Yuru said this time with almost no hesitation.

"How good is it?"

"..."

Tang Yuru suddenly fell silent.

This question was actually more difficult to answer than the previous ones, because once she started to recall, so many things popped into her head.

Tick-tock, tick-tock... tick-tock.

Lin Zhou was stunned. He saw Tang Yuru's tears falling like rain. "Um... that..."

"Please, stop teasing me. I don't want to be in a relationship anymore." Tang Yuru wiped her cheeks with her hands, large tears streaming down her face. "I'm bad at talking... please don't hit on me..."

"Ah...don't, don't cry." Lin Zhou quickly came to Tang Yuru's side. "I...I didn't bully you, Yuru, please don't cry, okay?"

"I...I wasn't crying, I just remembered some things...Please don't call me Yu Rou anymore...We're not close..."

"I...I...you...waaaaah."

Unwittingly, Lin Zhou noticed the strange looks from the tourists around him, and he immediately felt numb.
