After Bai Wanwan finished speaking, she lowered her head and resumed eating her breakfast, clearly not intending to pay any more attention to Lin Zhou.

How could you do such a thing... You shouldn't do such a thing.

However... Bai Wanwan didn't feel any dislike; she just felt like she'd been electrocuted for a moment.

like……

Lin Zhou stared at her for a while, his face bearing the fist mark. After thinking it over carefully, he realized that if he continued to explain, he would most likely get hit again, so he could only obediently shut his mouth.

Oh well... I'll do it next time during [hypnosis].

After a while, Ye Zhiyu also got up, yawning as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"Didn't sleep well?" Lin Zhou asked.

"I'm binge-watching a show."

"oh."

……

When the group returned to the college, the fifth day of the anniversary celebrations had already begun.

Lin Zhou originally wanted to go back to Class A to help, but as soon as he and Wanwan approached the backstage area, several classmates who were moving props stopped at the same time and stared at him warily.

"Get out of here! What are you doing here? You're not welcome here."

"Huh? Helping out... What do you mean I'm not welcome?" Lin Zhou pointed to the boxes next to him. "I'm much better today, I should be able to carry some light things."

"No need," said the boy in charge of props. "Your task today is simply to stay alive... Just stay alive, don't cause us any trouble."

"ha?"

"Come back up when you've revised the script for 'The Hero is Dead.' Right now, we're revising the script and putting on the Demon King Gaiden."

Lin Zhou: "..."

Now, the entire Class A seems to treat him like some fragile, rare item. They complain about him, but they all seem to take good care of him.

A group of arrogant people.

Okay, I'll take a rest then.

After sitting in class for a while, Lin Zhou felt really bored, so he went out for a walk by himself.

Gu Yuning was going to the student council, Bai Wanwan was called to reconfirm the props on the stage, Luo Xiaoke also returned to Class B, and as for Ye Zhiyu, that guy had disappeared since he first entered the academy.

Lin Zhou swayed unsteadily. Because of his injury, his bangs were pulled down, and his roguish face was not revealed, so he seemed to have returned to his original appearance.

"Why don't we go see Yu Rou?" Lin Zhou walked along the tree-lined path of the academy for a while when his phone suddenly vibrated.

[Ye Zhiyu: Zhouzi, buy me a drink.]

[Lin Zhou: Where are you?]

[Ye Zhiyu: I'm busy... Hurry up!]

[Ye Zhiyu: Aa ...

[Ye Zhiyu: 18s of voice recording]

It really knows how to command people, giving itself a fish-like call for over ten seconds.

Lin Zhou thought to himself, "I'll just consider it a sign of my kind heart. I've been in a really good mood lately, so I won't hold a grudge against that fish."

Buy a drink...

He looked around and finally noticed a coffee shop nearby. The location was relatively remote within the school anniversary celebration area, and there weren't many people there during the celebration. After pushing open the door, the air conditioning blew in his face, making Lin Zhou breathe a comfortable sigh of relief.

"What do you need?"

"An iced latte, less ice, no sugar, to go... Hmm... an Americano, I'll go with an espresso, the more bitter the better, preferably the kind that's so bitter it'll kill you." Lin Zhou held up one finger.

"Would you like a medium, large, or extra-large?"

"Does coffee have strength...? Oh no, the largest cup will do."

"OK."

After ordering, Lin Zhou turned around with the number plate in his hand, but suddenly paused.

he……

I saw someone who looked familiar.

Ex-girlfriend.

Shi Qinglin.

She was also wearing the uniform of Yinshan Academy today. Her long, black hair fell quietly over her shoulders. Her skin was pale and her figure was tall and slender. There was a cold drink on the table, and she was holding an old paper book in her hand. There was a ginkgo leaf that Lin Zhou had seen before tucked between the pages.

Shi Qinglin didn't look up, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

In a way, Shi Qinglin and Bai Wanwan are very similar in appearance, but their inner selves are completely different. Lin Zhou could sense that Shi Qinglin had a detached demeanor both outwardly and inwardly, as if she wasn't very interested in anything.

Bai Wanwan is different inside, it's really sweet.

Lin Zhou also likes it.

Just as Lin Zhou was hesitating whether to go over and say hello, she suddenly said, "How long are you planning to stand there and watch?"

"How did you know I was watching you?" Lin Zhou was taken aback.

She tilted her head back and said calmly, "The glass of the cup."

Lin Zhou glanced to the side and then noticed that his reflection was right in the glass.

"Oh……"

Shi Qinglin raised her eyes, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment before settling on the bandage on his forehead.

"Sit down," she said.

Lin Zhou said, "I just came here to buy a cup of coffee."

"The coffee isn't ready yet," Shi Qinglin said. "Why don't we sit down and wait a bit?"

"You're right..." Lin Zhou finally walked over and sat down opposite her.

Shi Qinglin lowered the book slightly, still looking down at it. "What's wrong with your head?"

Lin Zhou explained, "Haha, the stage partition fell down during the performance the day before yesterday."

"..." Shi Qinglin raised her eyes.

You don't seem surprised.

"Being able to come to the academy...it doesn't seem to be a big problem," Shi Qinglin said.

"That's true."

Shi Qinglin said, "Your play is more exciting than the plot in the book."

"It was an accident."

"Hmm," Shi Qinglin said, "No normal person could write a plot like this."

Lin Zhou felt he had been insulted, but couldn't find any evidence.

He propped his chin on his hand and observed Shi Qinglin. After a few seconds, he asked the question that concerned him, "Speaking of which... why did we break up? I still don't know the specific reason."

Shi Qinglin paused for a moment as she turned the pages of her book. She looked up and then said, "Many times, not every problem has a definite answer. It happens, and that's the result."

There's no particular reason why I'm breaking up with you.

"Okay." Lin Zhou hummed in agreement, realizing that he didn't really understand the other person.

"..." Shi Qinglin fell silent and continued reading the book.

Neither of them spoke for the rest of the time until Shi Qinglin broke the silence. However, she didn't say anything else, only reminding them, "Coffee."

"Oh, I see." Lin Zhou turned around and saw that it seemed to be his turn in line.

He stood up, but as he was about to get his coffee, Lin Zhou scratched his head. "Qing Lin, it's actually quite comfortable being with you... it's a bit of a shame."

Shi Qinglin was stunned for a moment, but when she looked up, she found that Lin Zhou had already left with the coffee.

After a few seconds of silence, she lowered her eyes again to look at the book in her hands.

"..."

"The same to you."

It's as if nothing ever happened.
