We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

Looking at the desk that was no longer empty, Li Mubai felt a sense of peace.

Friday evening self-study is Wu Changguo's class, and Saturday is to make up for Monday's classes. The school has always arranged to make up for the busy day of core subjects by making up for the missed class.

During a break in the evening self-study session when the news was on, Wu Changguo called Li Mubai and Xie Shu to his office.

There were too many rumors surrounding Li Mubai and Xie Shu in the class, and everyone was whispering about it tacitly.

"Xie Shu, are you sure you'll take the college entrance exam at No. 6 High School?" Wu Changguo asked, looking up from his office chair.

"Yes."

"That's good." Wu Changguo pondered for a moment. "I called you two over here for no other reason than that Li Mubai is the class monitor now, and the class is short of a female vice class monitor. You were the class monitor before, do you have time to take on the role now?"

"OK."

"..."

Li Mubai silently looked out the window. Fortune has turned around, and now he is the class monitor, while Xie Shu has become the deputy class monitor.

Wu Changguo glanced at Li Mubai, who was clearly distracted, then looked at Xie Shu, who was standing quietly to the side, and coughed lightly:

"You two should focus on your studies at school. Next month is the college entrance exam for senior high school students, and it will be your turn again in a year."

"Okay, Teacher Wu, I will definitely study hard," Li Mubai replied like a machine.

"Alright, go back to your studies." He waved his hand, dismissing the two from the office.

As Xie Shu stepped out of the office, he suddenly spoke softly:

Please guide me in the future. Keep up the good work!

She bowed slightly, much like Li Mubai when he first became the vice class monitor in the first semester of his junior year of high school.

The difference this time is that the roles have been reversed; he is now the squad leader, and Xie Shu is the deputy squad leader.

Similarly, he stammered and didn't know what to say; perhaps he's just a clueless, emotionally inept straight man.

Seemingly amused by his hesitant and stammering manner, Xie Shu raised his hand, his knuckles touching the corner of his lips, and chuckled softly with his eyes lowered.

It's different now. Xie Shu rarely smiled before, but recently I often hear her laughter, like a gentle breeze, like a spring breeze. That's probably the feeling.

"Alright, let's go back now."

"Um."

He and Xie Shu walked back to the classroom side by side, without making any more excuses or separating themselves...

"Oh dear, this is worse than being killed!" Yang Kun wailed in his dormitory.

"It's been a whole day, Chicken Bro, can't you let it go yet?!"

"I'm so upset! So upset! I was worried about my brother suffering, and I was also worried about him driving a Range Rover, and now you've really gotten me involved!"

Li Mubai didn't reply, lying quietly on the bed reading a book. Sometimes, not speaking is a form of acquiescence.

"Say something, you idiot! I hate that you're such a blockhead."

"What did you say?" Li Mubai put down his book and looked at Yang Kun.

"Tell me how you two got together?" Yang Kun pressed, and the others in the dormitory stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

"Maybe I saved the galaxy in my past life," Li Mubai casually made up.

"Stop arguing and tell me quickly. I want to learn from your experience so I can find a cool and aloof campus beauty in the future," Jiao Yong urged from the side.

"There's not much to say, just focus on your studies."

Li Mubai genuinely felt this way. Upon reflection, he realized that Xie Shu had always been more proactive, while he had been more passive. Why was that? Why was Xie Shu so interested in him?

Both parties in a relationship are always curious about why the other chose them.

"Maybe you guys just don't have that literary talent. Look at him, he's still reading even though he's about to rest," Zhao Feng interjected.

Literary talent... Perhaps all the problems can be traced back to when Yan Shu took the initiative to add him in the first place.

"We might also need to do a modeling," Wang Rui added.

"I'm washing seaweed, washing seaweed~"

"Don't say a word, we're on the same side."

……

Ring ring.

As soon as the bell rang on Saturday, the students, who had been itching to leave, rushed out of the classroom in a swarm.

"Li Mubai, when are you planning to buy seal carving tools and seal stones?" Xie Shu asked, turning his head as he leisurely packed his books.

"It might be tomorrow noon."

"Okay, I want to go with you."

She made no attempt to hide her thoughts, leaving Li Mubai speechless.

"Uh... okay, then I'll leave at 1 PM tomorrow."

Xie Shu nodded slightly.

"I'll be going now, goodbye."

"See you tomorrow."

Watching Li Mubai leave with Chen Qiuhe, Xie Shu also wanted to take the bus, but he would most likely be questioned by Xu Ting about why he didn't take the driver's car back, which would cause a lot of trouble.

Xu Ting now believes in a theory: educating children is like flying a kite. You can let the kite fly freely in the sky, but you must hold a thin string in your hand to firmly control the general direction.

As is customary, the driver's car should already be waiting at the back gate of the school.

But when she stepped out the back door, she didn't see the familiar Bentley, but rather her mother Xu Ting's own car.

Why did you come over so suddenly without telling me beforehand?

She stepped forward, and the passenger window slowly rolled down.

"Xiao Shu, get in the passenger seat." It's hard to imagine that the gentle-smiling Xu Ting in front of you is the person who secretly controls your life from the shadows.

Xie Shu remained silent. She put her suitcase in the trunk and opened the passenger door.

"Hey, thank you for your letter!"

Suddenly someone called her name. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl named Lan Shiyu.

She nodded slightly, as if to say hello.

The car then started and drove away, kicking up dust.

"Wow! A BMW M8! Li Mubai has finally won over this rich and beautiful girl!" Lan Shiyu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"What, a rich, beautiful, and successful woman?" Aunt Lan looked at her daughter in confusion.

"Ah, nothing, nothing!" Lan Shiyu quickly waved her hand.

"What do you mean 'nothing'? If it's nothing, it's nothing. I've told you so many times, use Mandarin more and dialect less at school."

"Okay, Mom," Lan Shiyu said, sticking out her tongue.

"So what's the deal with Li Mubai and the rich, beautiful woman you were talking about earlier?" Aunt Lan pressed on.

"I was just kidding, just making a joke." Lan Shiyu scratched her head awkwardly.

Aunt Lan smiled, clearly not believing her. However, children these days all have their own secrets, and since Lan Shiyu didn't want to talk about it, she didn't intend to pry. She wanted to give the child some space. With that in mind, she spoke:

"I was even saying I'd set you up with Xiaobai."

"Huh?! No, no, no!" Lan Shiyu exclaimed in fright, quickly refusing.

"Hehe, I was just joking."

"Mom, you scared me to death! I haven't even planned on dating yet, and besides..."

"Is that the car in front the one you mentioned earlier, the one that the rich and beautiful girl was riding in?" Aunt Lan suddenly interrupted her, gesturing with her chin towards the front.

Following Aunt Lan's gaze, Lan Shiyu saw that their car was parked right behind the BMW M8, just as the light turned red.

"Xiao Shu, it seems you have quite a few friends at school. Your mother is truly happy for you."
