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

"No, Chairman Chen, this tea isn't spoiled." The class monitor immediately spoke up, his impatience from when he was talking to Tang Yuruo gone. "It was made yesterday, just left overnight. We drink it like this all the time, it's such a waste to throw it away..."

"Do you drink like this yourself?" Lin Zhou asked.

"yes."

"That's perfect." Lin Zhou took an empty cup from the side, placed it next to the tea barrel, and then held out his hand to him. "Have a drink. If you're willing to drink, we can sit down and have a proper talk."

Squad leader: "..."

Really drinking?

What a joke.

The tea in the bucket was brewed yesterday, but some lemon slices were added back in after the day before yesterday. I originally thought that since they were all lemons, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference once they were all sold out.

Now let yourself drink it...

The squad leader glanced into the bucket and saw the few lemon slices that were soft and stuck together. His throat tightened for no reason, and his face changed.

I'm not thirsty right now.

"It's alright, one cup isn't much."

"I don't like lemon tea."

"Didn't you just say you usually drink like this?"

"..."

The squad leader gritted his teeth. "Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

Lin Zhou looked at him, "You said you could drink, I told you to drink, but you wouldn't... Then you said you usually drink like that? What's wrong, you forgot what you said as soon as the sun rises?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuru couldn't help but look up at the empty cup.

Chen Yu reached out and moved the cup aside. "No need to drink it. Seal this container first, and check the other ingredients as well."

Two student council members responded. One started taking photos and registering the items, while the other checked the things under the table. Seeing that the other was about to look further in, the class monitor immediately took a step forward. "This hasn't sold yet. You can't shut down the whole stall just because of one unsold bucket of tea, can you?"

"Luckily, it didn't sell," Lin Zhou said.

"It wasn't ever sold in the first place!"

"Oh, that's because Yu Rou stopped her," Lin Zhou said.

The class monitor's lips moved slightly, and Lin Zhou continued, "You just told her to buy the whole bucket, and if she didn't, you'd keep selling it. How come now it's like you never sold it in the first place?"

"..."

Chen Yu glanced at Tang Yuru, then looked at the class monitor, "We'll talk about this in the office later. First, contact the teacher in charge of your class."

"Do we still need to go to the office?"

"With so many tourists from outside the school at the anniversary celebration, what if someone gets sick from drinking? How do you plan to handle that?" Chen Yu's voice also became serious.

"The stall will be shut down, and the inspection results and violations will be recorded. The subsequent punishment will be determined by the teacher. This matter will also affect your class's order rating."

The class monitor finally fell silent.

The student council members next door had already put up the "Closed for Business" sign and even put away the menus.

The class monitor looked at Tang Yuru one last time and glared at her fiercely.

Tang Yuru noticed his gaze and subconsciously took a step back.

Lin Zhou moved half a step to the side and then said to Chen Yu, "Also, the two cups that Yu Rou made for the customers just now were made with new tea. She hasn't let this batch of tea be sold yet, so make a note of that too."

Chen Yu nodded, "We'll record it together."

"I called for the inspection. You can come to me if there are any problems." Lin Zhou smiled and looked at the class monitor. "Don't go back and say that Yu Rou ruined your stall... Oh, well, it's hard to say, after all, she's a master of shifting blame."

The squad leader's face immediately turned even uglier.

I haven't even said it myself yet.

Why did you say everything already?!

"Lin Zhou, we will explain this to the teacher," Chen Yu said, "including the personnel arrangements... This student, you did a great job, hygiene is very important."

Chen Yu said to Tang Yurou.

Tang Yuru nodded gently.

Lin Zhou nodded, but he didn't think that solved everything. The class monitor didn't dare to continue speaking in front of the student council, but he might not be so obedient when he returned to the class.

Especially Yu Rou's personality.

If someone says a few cold words, she'll probably start wondering if she's done something wrong again.

The class monitor eventually left with the student council members, glancing at the tea barrel before leaving with a somewhat resentful expression.

"I don't want to leave, why don't you have a drink before you go?"

"Hmph, no need."

……

……

There was no need to watch the stall anymore. Tang Yuru stood behind the table, reached out and stacked the scattered cups back up, and smoothed out the wrinkles on her apron, as if she didn't know what she should do for a moment.

"Let's go," Lin Zhou said.

"...Where to?"

"Going to the school anniversary celebration, huh?" Lin Zhou looked at her. "Haven't you always wanted to go out and see the world?"

Tang Yuru was stunned for a moment, then looked at the stall that could no longer operate, "But..."

"Chen Yu and the others will handle it." Lin Zhou pointed to the apron she was wearing. "You can take this off."

Tang Yuru glanced down, then slowly took off her apron, folded it neatly, placed it on the table, and obediently followed Lin Zhou out.

The college is even more lively than when I first entered.

Tang Yuru had no mind to look at the scene around her. She followed Lin Zhou and after walking a distance, she couldn't help but glance back at the stall.

Lin Zhou slowed his pace, waiting for her to turn back before speaking, "What's wrong? Do you like doing chores?"

"...I'm sorry, I...I didn't."

"See, you're apologizing again." Lin Zhou couldn't help but laugh. "Why can't you break this habit?"

Tang Yuru's cheeks flushed slightly, and after a while she asked softly, "Lin Zhou, when everyone comes back... will they be very angry?"

"Maybe."

Tang Yuru's complexion worsened considerably.

Lin Zhou said, "But it's not that you did anything wrong, Yu Rou."

"But we can't sell anything at the stall anymore..."

"The items that can't be sold were taken out by the class monitor, and the student council inspected them before allowing them to be stopped. It's not like you can just stop them whenever you want," Lin Zhou said. "The class monitor is the one who should be held responsible."

Tang Yuru kept her head down and did not answer.

She seemed to understand the reasoning, but she couldn't help feeling a little scared.

"If they come looking for you, tell them to ask the teacher," Lin Zhou said. "Don't just agree to whatever others say. Were you really planning to buy that barrel of tea yourself?"

Seeing her expression, Lin Zhou knew he had guessed correctly and immediately felt a little embarrassed. "No, you really want to buy it?"

"I thought... once I bought it, I wouldn't have to sell it to someone else."

"What if we don't sell them all today? I'll bring you another bucket tomorrow!" Lin Zhou couldn't help but say, "You rascal..."

"..."

Tang Yuru pursed her lips.

It seems that it really is true.

Lin Zhou looked at her, his tone softening slightly, "Yu Rou, you need to learn to refuse others. You did a good job refusing him to use that bucket of tea. If I make you watch the stall from now on, you can also say no."

"But everyone went out to play..."

"You want to go out and have fun too, right?" Lin Zhou said. "Don't put yourself in a lowly position. You're no different from everyone else in the class."

Tang Yuru lowered her head.

The school anniversary celebration has already been going on for six days.

She hasn't actually explored the area properly yet.

"So, come shopping with me today," Lin Zhou said.

"Ah..." Tang Yuru's face slowly turned red, and she realized that she had been following Lin Zhou the whole time. "I...we are no longer boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Can only couples shop here?"

"This...is not it."

"That's fine." Lin Zhou reached out and pinched Tang Yuru's cheek.

Tang Yuru didn't resist, only quietly saying, "Okay..."

"So why did you break up with me?" Lin Zhou asked.

"Ah..." Tang Yuru reacted and instinctively tried to run away, but Lin Zhou grabbed her fingers. The moment their fingers intertwined, Tang Yuru let out a sound like a small animal.

"ah……"

"Tell me about it?" Lin Zhou pulled the other person closer, feeling their chest against his own. "Don't run away from it."
