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

[Lin Zhou: All you're doing is saying thank you?]

Tang Yuru quickly showed "typing," but after a few seconds, the status disappeared again. Lin Zhou could even imagine her holding her phone, seriously considering how to thank him.

Just kidding.

[Lin Zhou: I still want to watch it, please.]

[Lin Zhou: Is it not allowed?]

Tang Yuru: ...

After sending the message, Lin Zhou laughed first. Just then, Chen Yu was still organizing his notes, so he put away his phone, said goodbye to Chen Yu, and prepared to leave.

"Lin Zhou, if Tang Yuru has any other issues, please contact me again."

"Understood, thank you for your hard work, Chairman Chen Yu."

Chen Yu adjusted his glasses, and his nodding gesture was much gentler than before. "It's nothing. You can contact me anytime if you need anything. There's no need to trouble Chairman Gu."

What Chairman Gu can do, I can do too.

Lin Zhou walked out of the office, and his phone vibrated again. He originally thought that Tang Yuru would send a "no" or, as before, slowly reply with a "you can't say such things." But when he opened the chat box, his finger stopped.

a photo.

It really is a photograph.

"what?"

Lin Zhou subconsciously stood at the edge of the corridor, took another look, and made sure he hadn't clicked the wrong chat box.

In the photo, Tang Yuru is sitting on the edge of her dormitory bed, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. The camera is held slightly high, and her eyes, visible through her bangs, are looking at the screen, as if checking if she has been captured in the shot.

The blue shirt was gone, and the jacket conveniently covered the button, leaving only the O-Pie exposed.

No.

Yu Rou, are you serious? You've never been this bold before.

Another message popped up below.

[Tang Yuru: This is the only way... no more.]

Lin Zhou silently saved it, and then saved a copy each to the cloud and the cloud drive.

After doing all this, he coughed lightly.

[Lin Zhou: You actually posted it? I was just joking.]

After typing that sentence, Lin Zhou imagined Tang Yuru would probably bury her head in her hands like an ostrich, so he deleted what he had typed and revised it again.

[Lin Zhou: It's very beautiful, I've saved it.]

There was a moment of silence on the other side.

[Tang Yuru: Don't show this to others.]

Lin Zhou: Definitely not.

[Tang Yuru: You can't laugh at me either...]

Lin Zhou: I wasn't laughing at you, you're really cute.

[Lin Zhou: Don't you have a part-time job this afternoon? Take a break first, don't keep playing on your phone.]

Tang Yuru replied after a few seconds.

Tang Yuru: Hmm...

Then another sentence was added.

[Tang Yuru: You need to eat too, don't just keep shopping.]

eat.

Lin Zhou thought for a moment. Since he was going to Coco's place soon anyway, he might as well have lunch at the maid cafe. He was already a member of Class B, so he probably didn't need to worry about queuing or anything like that.

but……

I haven't made omelet rice for the past few days. Has Class B's score dropped?

No, Class A only gets the prize money if they beat us, right?

hiss……

If Class B wins, will I get a share?

Just as Lin Zhou was lost in thought, his phone vibrated again. Lin Zhou initially thought it was Yu Rou who had sent him the message, but it turned out to be Coco's profile picture.

[Luo Xiaoke: Zhouzhou~]

[Luo Xiaoke: Where are you?]

[Luo Xiaoke: I saved lunch for you.]

[Luo Xiaoke: Was Zhouzhou secretly taken away by Wanwan?]

Coco is so cute.

Lin Zhou opened Luo Xiaoke's chat window—

[Lin Zhou: Coming, coming, I've come for lunch.]

[Luo Xiaoke: You're only getting here now?]

[Lin Zhou: I had some things to take care of at the student union earlier, but I've taken care of them now.]

That's true.

Before going to the student council, I also helped Yu-rou draw a picture, and just now I also took a selfie.

There seem to be quite a few things to do incidentally.

[Luo Xiaoke: Zhouzhou, walk slowly, don't run, your head isn't fully recovered yet.]

[Luo Xiaoke: Waiting for you at the door~]

Lin Zhou replied with a nod emoji, put away his phone, and quickened his pace toward Class B.

……

When Lin Zhou arrived at the maid café, before he could even look inside, the boy in charge of maintaining order spotted him first.

"Brother Lin!" The shout made Lin Zhou stop in his tracks.

The boy held up a number plate and pointed inside. "Coco was just looking for you. If you hadn't come, she would have gone out to arrest you."

"Is it that serious?"

She asked me three times in five minutes if I had seen you.

As soon as she finished speaking, a head popped out of the classroom. When Luo Xiaoke saw Lin Zhou, her eyes immediately curved into a smile. She walked over with small, quick steps and reached out to hug his arm.

"Zhouzhou~ You're finally here."

"Sorry for the slight delay."

"I thought Zhouzhou wasn't going to eat anymore." Luo Xiaoke looked up at him, then glanced behind him. "Where's Wanwan?"

"He wasn't with me."

"Oh~" Luo Xiaoke smiled but didn't, "Not here... It's hard to say~ Wanwan is actually everywhere."

As soon as Luo Xiaoke finished speaking, the trash can not far away trembled.

Lin Zhou: ?

What does that mean?

Luo Xiaoke's mood visibly improved, and she hugged his arm, pulling him inside. "Come on in, I've saved you lots of delicious food."

The classroom was still bustling with activity. Several girls dressed as maids walked back and forth carrying trays. Near the kitchen, there were freshly washed cups and ketchup bottles neatly placed on the counter.

Lin Zhou felt a sudden, inexplicable ache in his wrist when he saw the bottles of ketchup.

Muscle memory.

"Hey, the chef's back."

A boy in the kitchen was holding an egg beater. When he saw Lin Zhou, he immediately waved the bowl in his hand at him, "Want a couple of whacks? My hand is about to break."

"I'm here for lunch," Lin Zhou said with a light cough.

"I know that exercising before meals makes food taste better."

"Then I suggest you eat while you play, one bite of rice and one egg at a time."

Xiao Kui, who was plating food nearby, laughed and reached out to pull away the chair blocking the aisle. "Don't listen to him, just sit down. Coco specially saved a seat for you."

"Yes, the injured are off today." Another boy peeked out from behind the counter. "We're not so poor that we have to drag a chef with bandages back to work."

Lin Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

Have a look.

Look at their level of awareness.

Those guys in Class A only care about how to set themselves up and burn.

He had just sat down by the window when Xiaoyou came over with a water glass. She put the glass on the table and glanced at his forehead.

"Much better."

"That's good." Xiaoyou tucked the menu under her cup and said with a smile, "When you weren't here yesterday, several customers asked when the boy who draws on omelets would be back."

Lin Zhou immediately became alert. "What did you say?"

"They said you're injured and need to rest."

"very good."

"Some people even said we could come back when you're fully recovered, and asked us to exchange contact information."

"Then you..."

"She didn't give it to me." Xiaoyou laughed and took over his words. "Coco said you can't use your brain right now, so you can't take on complicated orders."

Lin Zhou looked at Luo Xiaoke beside him.

Luo Xiaoke was helping him unpack the tableware when she heard this, and nodded seriously, "Zhouzhou needs to rest well."

"Isn't the idea that you can't use your brain a bit...?"

"So you can draw without using your brain?" Luo Xiaoke blinked. "Zhouzhou is so amazing!"

"You're not praising that, are you?"
