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

A thought popped into Lin Zhou's mind.

Could it be that Yu Ning likes me?

But Lin Zhou can see the level of affection. Yu Ning is only in her early eighties, not even as tall as Coco. Eighty shouldn't be enough to make him like her, right?

If Yu Ning likes me, then does that mean Coco likes me too?

Don't dream dreams that can't be realized.

As Lin Zhou was thinking that, he had already been fed several pieces of apple and couldn't eat anymore.

"I'm full," Lin Zhou said.

"Have another piece," Gu Yuning said. "Supplementing with vitamins is good for your recovery."

"All right……"

Just then, Luo Xiaoke and Bai Wanwan returned. From afar, their soft, drawn-out voices could be heard, as light as if they were walking on clouds, "You're back~"

"Thank you for your hard work," Gu Yuning said, putting down the skewer in her hand.

Luo Xiaoke asked, "Yu Ning, Yu Ning, don't supermarkets offer delivery services? Wouldn't it be more convenient to order and have it delivered to your door?"

"I forgot." Gu Yuning paused for a moment after hearing Luo Xiaoke's words before replying.

"Okay~"

At this point, Lin Zhou mentioned going to the aquarium and said that Ye Zhiyu would also be there.

"You should... rest." Bai Wanwan shook her head when she saw Lin Zhou limping, seemingly disagreeing with going to the aquarium together.

"Indeed, let's talk about it after your leg heals," Gu Yuning said.

"That's right~"

Lin Zhou felt ashamed. He had wanted to complete all the beginner tasks in the app at once, and the aquarium was the perfect opportunity. Besides, it had been a long time since everyone had gotten together.

"I want to go—" Lin Zhou said, "cough cough cough... I want to go even if I have a limp~ I won't drag you down~"

Lin Zhou was excessively thin, his skin was so pale it was almost ghastly pale. He lay there, his movements slow and weak, exuding an aura of sickness from head to toe.

Bai Wanwan couldn't help but frown at his sickly appearance. "You really want to go that badly..."

"Then let's go," Gu Yuning said.

"Really going to the nest?" Luo Xiaoke tilted her head, thinking it would be better to wait until Lin Zhou's fracture healed before making a decision.

"Well, then I'll help him up," Gu Yuning said calmly, brushing her hair aside and adopting a "I can't do anything about it" attitude.

"Although it's a bit tiring, it's okay. It's just my responsibility as the student council president; I have an obligation to take care of people."

"Yu Ning!" Lin Zhou exclaimed, his face filled with emotion.

"I'm fine with that too~" Luo Xiaoke said with a grin, "Add me in the order~"

"It's okay, I can manage on my own."

"Oops~"

Seeing that Gu Yuning and Luo Xiaoke had divided Lin Zhou up, Bai Wanwan suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and she immediately said,

"I... will do it!"

"Bai Wanwan, you're so thin, you don't need it," Gu Yuning said to Bai Wanwan.

Bai Wanwan: "?!"

emaciated?!

Among those present, Gu Yuning was actually the petite one. Although she had everything she needed, that was no reason for her to act like an older sister!

"Then Zhouzhou can decide?" Luo Xiaoke looked at Lin Zhou with a smile. "Who do you think should help you on the day we go to the aquarium?"

"Indeed, Lin Zhou should make the choice," Gu Yuning said.

Bai Wanwan silently looked at Lin Zhou without saying a word, "..."

1. Gu Yuning

【2. Luo Xiaoke】

【3. Bai Wanwan】

It was as if options appeared before Lin Zhou's eyes. He hadn't expected to receive such preferential treatment. When he heard the question, Lin Zhou felt as if he were being given branch options by a corner of the world.

There are only three options left, and it seems like choosing any of them isn't a good idea.

"No!"

Lin Zhou silently raised his hand, "I can walk by myself, I don't need your help."

After saying that, he added, "Of course, I would be very happy if you could take turns helping me up."

After hearing Lin Zhou's words, Gu Yuning and the others exchanged glances.

"Oh? I see..."

"Zhouzhou is really greedy~"

"..."

But clearly, none of the three people in front of them agreed, because taking turns to help was not what they had initially wanted.

"I think... it's better if I help him."

"I refuse—" a voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Following the sound, Ye Zhiyu looked over and saw a bob-haired girl peeking out from the second-floor railing. Ye Zhiyu was leaning on the railing with both hands, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

"I'm the one who injured Lin Zhou. Since that's the case, I'll help him on the day we go to the aquarium. You won't have to go through so much trouble."

"What's there to say? I'm the one who should atone for my sins, aren't I?" Ye Zhiyu said.

After hearing Ye Zhiyu's words, Gu Yuning and the others exchanged glances before finally speaking, "In that case, let's take turns. Xiaoyu, you're injured too, so we won't force you."

Agreed!

"I have no objection..."

At first, everyone was reluctant to take turns helping each other, but they accepted the suggestion because of Ye Zhiyu's involvement.

Lin Zhou's suggestion to walk himself seemed to be selectively ignored. After all, it would be too tiring for him to walk with a limp. If all else fails, pushing a wheelchair would be a good option.

"We can go together." Lin Zhou just wanted everyone to go together; he didn't care how they got there.

The trip to the aquarium has been finalized, and the date is set for the weekend.

……

As darkness fell, it was time for everyone to head home after dinner.

"I have other plans for tomorrow, so I can only come over in the evening," Gu Yuning said, standing at the entrance door.

"I'm leaving~"

"I'm home..."

"it is good."

Lin Zhou watched the group leave his house. Wanwan was fine; she went into the house across the street. As for Yuning and Keke, they turned a corner and left.

"Your sisters have all left, big brother, you seem quite happy." The front door closed, and Lin Zhou heard his sister's voice in his mind.

"Oh yeah, that's great... everyone's all together again." Lin Zhou smiled slightly and limped upstairs with his cane.

On the other side, Gu Yuning was walking towards her home.

"It's all my fault..." she murmured, looking up at the sky, "If it weren't for me..."

"But it's so nice to be able to talk to her." As Gu Yuning spoke, she seemed to be losing her serious expression, her face slowly turning red. She then cupped her face and started stomping her feet on the spot.

"I'm so embarrassed!"

"Click—" A flash of light rang out, and Gu Yuning's face stiffened. She then noticed a cute little girl next to her smiling adorably, "Cheese~"

"?! ...

What are you doing here?!
