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

"We are not from the same world."

After saying this, Tang Yuru lowered her head and dared not speak again.

Lin Zhou stood there, remaining silent for a long time.

For a moment, Lin Zhou could no longer hear the voices around him. His mind went through a mental storm, as if he had not expected the other party to answer him like that.

"How could we not be from the same world..." He looked at her. "Yu Rou, did you always think this way when we were together?"

Tang Yuru shook her head.

It was precisely because I didn't have it that I felt so sad later.

She still remembers the first time she received a message from Lin Zhou. She sat on her bed in the dormitory, read those few lines of text many times, and after replying, she couldn't bear to put down her phone.

Back then, she would think about what to eat with Lin Zhou the next day, whether they would have time to meet on the weekend, and if her part-time job ended early, whether she could accompany him to the model shop.

Those were such good times...

Lin Zhou is gentle and reliable... Although he is lustful and pretends to make unintentional physical contact with her, Tang Yuru knows it all... She doesn't mind because Lin Zhou is truly her dream partner.

However, later on, I didn't even know how to reply to the messages I received.

"At first I thought... as long as I work harder, everything will be fine," Tang Yuru said softly. "After I graduate and get a job, I won't have to keep doing part-time jobs, and I can go to many places with you."

"Isn't that great?"

"But later I found out it wasn't that simple."

"I don't know what will happen in the future... I don't know if I can stay here forever." She paused for a moment before continuing, "And your parents, they won't agree either."

Lin Zhou, who had been listening attentively, suddenly became puzzled when he heard this.

"My parents?"

"Um……"

"Have you seen them?"

Tang Yuru shook her head.

"Then how do you know they disagree?"

She was momentarily speechless, then after a few seconds whispered, "With such a large difference in family background, people will inevitably mind, and besides, you're never short of girls around you..."

Lin Zhou looked at her, his brows slowly furrowing. "Who told you these things?"

Tang Yuru was taken aback; Lin Zhou seemed to be very perceptive.

"Yu Rou?"

"No……"

"You were so certain just now," Lin Zhou looked at her, "Has someone contacted you?"

Tang Yuru did not answer, but the one eye that was exposed began to look to the side.

Lin Zhou was all too familiar with this reaction. Every time he encountered her at the academy, if she showed this expression, she would most likely say "sorry" and then turn and run away.

"Is it someone I know?"

"Lin Zhou..." she called out anxiously, "Don't go and ask."

Lin Zhou was silent for a few seconds. "So it really exists?"

Tang Yuru seemed to realize that she had let something slip. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she could only say very softly, "She has known you for so long and grew up together... she definitely knows more about these things than I do."

We grew up together.

Lin Zhou paused, and several people almost immediately flashed into his mind.

Wanwan? Zhiyu?

It can't be cocoa, can it?

That guy is usually so gentle and always has a smiling face when he talks to anyone... But thinking about this, Lin Zhou realized that he couldn't be so sure.

"Is it my childhood sweetheart?"

Tang Yuru didn't dare to speak. "N-no, it's not, I didn't..."

Lin Zhou wanted to ask more questions, but seeing her increasingly nervous expression, he stopped himself from speaking.

Continuing to question them might yield some information, but it seems like we'll never see them again.

Lin Zhou had a headache.

Of course, it's also possible that his head is still hurting, since the wound is still there.

"Alright, I won't ask anymore." Lin Zhou's tone softened a bit, and he pulled Tang Yuru closer. "Don't run away again."

Tang Yuru stared at him blankly. "Aren't you... angry?"

"I'm angry... a little."

Lin Zhou looked at her for a while. "I don't even know why I was dumped. I wanted to ask you, but you've been avoiding me. Yu Rou, I must be sad too, right?"

"I'm sorry..." Tang Yuru said softly.

She always felt that Lin Zhou would soon forget her.

He has so many beautiful girls around him, each one better than him. Perhaps after some time, when he occasionally thinks of her, he will only feel that he once dated a very strange person.

She never imagined he would remember it forever.

"I'm sorry..." Tang Yuru apologized again, her voice even lower.

"An apology should include showing your genitals."

"what?"

"no?"

Tang Yuru was startled and said in a soft voice, "There are too many people here... No, this won't work."

Lin Zhou had a feeling that if he kept asking, the other party would agree.

She's really the same as always.

Lin Zhou was at a loss for words. "I brought you out to have fun, but you're almost crying now... I was just kidding."

"No one cried."

"Let's go, let's keep looking around. You haven't really explored the school anniversary celebration properly, have you?" Lin Zhou said.

"Um……"

"You guys in Class F are really going too far, unlike us in Class B."

"Oh, aren't you in Class A?"

"Oh, I'm sorry... but leaving you to work alone while the others go off to play is really going too far, isn't it?" Lin Zhou said.

"..." Tang Yuru didn't know either.

"I... am not good at saying no to people. They always dump collaborative assignments on me alone, and then they have to add their names on them," Tang Yuru said. "Over time... it's the same at the lemon tea stall. They've gotten used to it."

"Am I... too easy to talk to?" Tang Yuru gave a wry smile.

"Learn to say no," Lin Zhou said. "Didn't I tell you that already?"

"You...you touched me before and told me not to refuse..." Tang Yuru's face was flushed.

"Special cases require special handling!" Lin Zhou said sternly.

And he only touched her little hands; he didn't touch her anything else seriously.

Tang Yuru chuckled cutely, "Okay..."

Let's continue exploring the school anniversary celebration.

……

As the two continued walking forward, Tang Yuru remained beside Lin Zhou.

It seems that she didn't fully explain everything she had just said, and her mind was still in turmoil. However, Lin Zhou didn't let go of her hand, nor did he ask about the name again. He would simply slow down his pace when passing by the stalls to see if there was anything that interested her.

"Do you want this?"

Tang Yuru followed the direction of her gaze and saw a row of drinks arranged in ice.

She shook her head.

"What about that one?"

"I'm not hungry..."

Lin Zhou turned his head. "Yu Rou, I was asking about that painting stall."

Tang Yuru was stunned, and then she noticed that there was a food stall a little to the side. Lin Zhou was pointing to a sign with a big smiley face on it.

"You really don't want anything, do you?" Lin Zhou said. "If you don't fight for anything, you'll just get bullied... Don't agree to everything those guys in your class ask you to do in the future."

Her face slowly flushed red, and she obediently replied, "Okay... I misread it."

The two walked over to the stall and found that it was painting somewhat exaggerated portraits.

A boy who had just finished drawing his portrait held it in his hand, staring at the nose that took up half of his face on the paper, and remained silent for a long time.

"Excuse me, is my nose really that big?"

"Artistic processing".

"Your processing fee is quite reasonable."

Lin Zhou couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Tang Yuru, who was standing next to him, also laughed.

The girl in charge of drawing looked up and saw them. "Want to be drawn? You can draw together."

"How long will it take to draw?"

"About ten minutes."

Lin Zhou turned to Tang Yuru and asked, "Do you want to?"
