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

"A cup of lemon tea."

Lin Zhou was stunned when he heard the familiar voice. He looked up and saw Bai Wanwan standing in front of the stall, her pigtails hanging quietly behind her, her eyes fixed on him.

Late at night?!

"Uh, what are you doing here?" Lin Zhou asked subconsciously.

Bai Wanwan slowly scanned the several cups of lemon tea that had already been made on the table, and finally her gaze settled on Tang Yuru's face, whose eyes were still slightly red.

"..."

Her aloof and cool demeanor made the girls who were making a fuss nearby suddenly quiet down.

Even though Ming Wanwan's face showed no obvious emotion, Tang Yuru subconsciously took a step back after her almost cold gaze fell upon her.

Of course she knew Bai Wanwan.

When I saw Lin Zhou in the cafeteria before, the other person was standing next to Lin Zhou. She was the kind of girl who was hard to ignore even if she didn't say anything.

She was so beautiful that it was impossible to ignore her presence.

The problem is... Tang Yuru secretly glanced at Lin Zhou.

This strange guy actually knows Bai Wanwan too?

"Wanwan?" Lin Zhou called out again when he saw that she hadn't spoken for a while.

"Lin Zhou, why?" Bai Wanwan moved closer, her voice carrying a hint of pressure.

How scary, how cute!

"Uh, I was just helping out sell lemon tea." Lin Zhou coughed lightly. "I originally just came back to buy one cup, but she couldn't handle it all by herself, and then a bunch of other customers came in, so I just helped out—"

Bai Wanwan said expressionlessly, "You're such a nice person."

"..."

Her gaze then swept over and landed on the big girl.

Tang Yuru had a strange feeling that she had been caught doing something wrong.

Lin Zhou immediately spoke up, using his body to slightly block Tang Yurou from view, "Wanwan, didn't you want lemon tea? Regular sugar or less sugar?"

"It's normal," Bai Wanwan said calmly, twirling a strand of hair with her fingers before finally looking back at Lin Zhou.

"Where's the ice?"

"Less ice."

"OK."

Tang Yuru stood to the side, listening to the two people's incredibly natural conversation, but the sense of familiarity in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

Just then, Bai Wanwan suddenly said again, "Lin Zhou."

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Lin Zhou answered subconsciously.

The clip in Tang Yuru's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Lin Zhou?

She slowly raised her head, her exposed eye gradually widening, her gaze returning to the face of the boy wearing black-rimmed glasses in front of her. For a moment, her brain seemed to vibrate.

How could that be...?

"Huh?" Tang Yuru couldn't help but let out a very soft sound.

Lin Zhou turned around upon hearing the noise. "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing..."

Tang Yuru shook her head almost reflexively, but this time she did not immediately look away. Instead, she suppressed the feeling of not daring to meet someone's gaze and stared at Lin Zhou intently for a few seconds.

It really is!

Tang Yuru's face quickly turned pale, the color spreading to her ears and neck. Thinking about how she had just seriously asked Lin Zhou, "Do we know each other?" and had told her ex-boyfriend so many things about him, she felt an urge to crawl under the table.

"Lin Zhou..." Tang Yuru called softly.

"Um?"

Why didn't you say so just now...?

"What?"

"You are Lin Zhou."

"Oh, this." Lin Zhou pushed up his glasses. "I was going to tell you, but you didn't recognize me at all. I just wanted to see when you would notice."

"..."

Tang Yuru lowered her head; it was indeed done on purpose.

That's terrible!

She had thought the stranger's voice sounded like Lin Zhou's, but it turned out he wasn't just like him at all—he was Lin Zhou himself.

Bai Wanwan heard this quietly, and the lemon tea in her hand made a soft cracking sound as she squeezed it.

Click.

Lin Zhou looked over—

"What's wrong with the cup?"

"Nothing much."

"..."

The force you applied doesn't look like nothing at all.

"What, didn't you recognize me?" Bai Wanwan asked.

"Yeah, right." Lin Zhou smiled. "A bit goofy."

Click.

The cup made another sound.

Lin Zhou: "..."

Jealous.

You have to coax her.

Lin Zhou's mind was in a complete mental whirlwind.

Tang Yuru's head was now completely bowed. "I'm sorry..."

"Why do you always say sorry?" Lin Zhou said. "You haven't apologized to anyone. Don't let me hear it next time."

"Next time?" Bai Wanwan asked.

"Um?"

"Do you want to see him again?"

"..."

"The academy isn't that big, it's normal to run into each other," Lin Zhou said. "But I'm different from you, since we see each other every day."

Bai Wanwan didn't say anything, but her brows relaxed a bit.

"Let's go now."

"Where to?"

"Stay with me."

"Wait a minute." Lin Zhou glanced at the few customers still lingering at the stall. "There are still people here. I've already helped them halfway through; I can't just suddenly run away, can I?"

Bai Wanwan followed his gaze and looked over. "You're in Class A."

"Helping Class B this morning."

"..."

"Now, help with Class F's booth."

Bai Wanwan paused for a moment, "You don't want the people in Class A to know that you're helping other classes get points again, do you?"

Lin Zhou felt ashamed.

This morning, he was dragged into a sack and interrogated by those crazy old men and women for helping Class B. He was even tied up at the classroom door and displayed as a traitor. If they find out that he turned around and came to help Class F sell lemon tea...

broken.

They really want to be burned at the stake.

However, Lin Zhou's movements were like afterimages; he quickly finished mashing the remaining lemon teas, leaving Tang Yuru with only a little bit of work to do afterward.

"I'll be going now, Yu Rou."

"what……"

After being pulled away by Bai Wanwan for a couple of steps, Lin Zhou remembered something and turned back to wave at Tang Yurou, "If you can't handle everything by yourself, call the rest of the class back. Don't try to shoulder everything by yourself."

"Hmm..." Tang Yuru nodded gently.

"Also, just pretend I didn't ask those questions earlier; I didn't mean to pressure you anyway."

"Hmm..." Tang Yuru nodded again, but when she looked up, she saw Lin Zhou smile helplessly.

For an instant.

The boy in front of me wearing black-rimmed glasses slowly overlapped with the pale-faced figure in my memory who always liked to cover his eyes with thick bangs.

[Yu Rou, will you be my girlfriend?]

I will try my best to be good to you.

Tang Yuru paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled faintly.

It really is Lin Zhou.

Nothing has changed... but...

She lowered her eyes and continued making lemon tea.

It has nothing to do with me anymore.

People from two different worlds...

She knew after that incident that she shouldn't be around Lin Zhou, because it was simply inappropriate.

The image of that short-haired girl flashed into Tang Yuru's mind, serving as a serious reminder.

Actually, you two are fundamentally incompatible. You should break up...

This is for your own good.
