We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

Chapter 222 I want everyone to know you

During the class meeting, Wu Changguo rested his hands on the podium, his gaze sweeping over the entire class, his tone serious:

"Now that most of the new lessons have been completed and the subjects have entered the first round of review, I would like to reiterate to all of you who are about to enter your senior year of high school: when you enter your senior year, you must focus your mind and avoid things that will distract you, such as early romantic relationships and games. Don't let them affect your studies."

As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom fell silent for a moment.

When the words "puppy love" came out of Wu Changguo's mouth, Li Mubai seemed to be hit on the spot. He subconsciously lowered his head and looked down at the textbooks open on the table. He could feel that there were several faint gazes on him.

"Of course," Wu Changguo paused, then added, "unless you think you're smart enough to keep dating and playing games from affecting your grades, you should stay away from these things."

Upon hearing this, Li Mubai quietly raised his head.

"Let me tell you something else." Wu Changguo cleared his throat and continued, "Next week, the 8th and 9th, which is Thursday and Friday, is the college entrance examination. Our school will be used as an examination venue. You don't need to come to school these two days. Take your homework home and study on your own."

"Wow! That's great!"

A burst of excited cheers erupted in the class, everyone's face beaming with joy. Studying at home on their own? Isn't this just like a holiday?

After the students' excitement gradually subsided, Wu Changguo slowly spoke, his tone calm:

"We will have make-up classes this Saturday and the Saturday of the 17th as usual."

"Damn it... it would be better not to give us a holiday at all! They just split up our perfectly good weekends." Li Mubai clearly heard Yang Kun's muffled complaints from behind him.

Just consider it an early adaptation to senior year life... There will be no more weekends off, and I'll have to go back to school early every Sunday to take weekly tests. This is a bleak senior year life.

"Hey Lao Bai, wanna go eat?" Yang Kun called out after class.

"No, you guys go ahead."

As the number of people gradually decreased, Li Mubai turned his head and saw Xie Shu sitting at the other end of the classroom. She hadn't left yet either. Xie Shu raised her head, her lips moved but no sound came out, as if she were saying, "Want to go eat together?" Li Mubai nodded.

There's nothing wrong with eating together. They weren't blatantly holding hands; they were just sitting very close. That's how close good friends are.

"Xie Shu... did you post this?" Seeing that there were no teachers in the cafeteria, Li Mubai took out his phone, found the photo on the confession wall, and handed it to Xie Shu, who was sitting opposite him.

"No." She glanced at it, then shook her head.

"Weren't you in charge of running the confession wall before?"

Xie Shu couldn't help but chuckle softly, then returned to his usual calm demeanor:

"That's all a lie. I don't run a confession wall at all. I just collected your submissions and sent them to the confession wall."

Damn it... Xie Shu is too cunning.

"But this photo doesn't capture your whole face; I blocked it." Xie Shu handed the phone back to Li Mubai, his tone seemingly revealing a hint of regret.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

He secretly rejoiced. If his face had been clearly photographed, he would probably be pointed at and talked about wherever he went at school, which would have been too embarrassing.

Xie Shu put down her bamboo chopsticks, looked at him, and said softly:

"I want all the students to know about us, so... no boys will bother me anymore."

Li Mubai's heart skipped a beat. He felt like he had become her shield, but it was alright. At least it would reduce the chances of situations like Yang Chao's.

Love is selfish, and he didn't want anyone to flirt with Xie Shu.

Also, she didn't want any girls to hit on Li Mubai...

"Oh my, what a coincidence, we just happened to run into each other."

Chen Qiuhe, carrying a tray, walked over with Deng Yi, laughing and joking. Her gaze shifted between Li Mubai and Xie Shu before she sat down at the table next to them.

"Hey, how's it going in your new seat? Are you feeling down because you can't see Shu Bao when you look up during class?" Chen Qiuhe asked Li Mubai.

"First of all, my name isn't Hey, it's Li Mubai."

"Okay, Chu Yuxun, how are you feeling in your new position?" Chen Qiuhe corrected.

"It's alright." After saying that, Li Mubai realized that Xie Shu was still sitting opposite him, so he immediately added, "But it's not as good as sitting behind Xie Shu."

"It's not as good as sitting behind Xie Shu~" Chen Qiuhe repeated, mimicking his tone.

Li Mubai glanced at Xie Shu. She didn't show much expression and looked calm and ordinary. Her eyebrows were slightly curved, but the curvature was so small that it was not noticeable unless you looked closely.

Forget it, I'd better hurry up and eat; it's almost six o'clock.

After returning to his dormitory from evening self-study, Li Mubai, who was still washing up, suddenly heard Yang Kun exclaim in surprise:

"Holy crap! Damn, is this really you?"

Yang Kun held up his phone and brought it close to him. On the screen was the photo of Xie Shu wearing glasses, which was the one on the confession wall.

"You brought your phone back from home again?"

"Don't change the subject!" Yang Kun quickly waved his hand, urging, "Tell me, is this you and Xie Shu?"

"Um."

"What is it? Let me see!" Zhao Feng heard the voice and immediately came closer.

The other boys also gathered around, crowding around Yang Kun and staring at the phone screen.

"It's dog food! I'm so angry!" Jiao Yong exclaimed angrily.

"No, come on, you guys are really too bold!" Zhao Feng frowned. "We were just warned by Teacher Wu, and you still dare to go against the grain. Aren't you afraid of being caught by the teacher again?"

"We were just having dinner together, that's how it is between friends," Li Mubai explained casually, putting away his toothbrush before climbing into bed.

"Finally, I've seen a normal friendship again," Yang Kun suddenly said.

"What's normal about this? It's almost like it's going to eat its own food," Zhao Feng retorted.

The room was filled with teasing chatter, but Li Mubai didn't participate. He quietly took out his phone and opened the confession wall.

Li Mubai took out his phone and glanced at the confession wall. He was surprised that after an afternoon and evening, this post had received so many comments.

I don't eat pears: Is the girl Xie Shu?

Someone replied that it was true.

I don't eat pears: Oh my god, who is that boy?

The student that Tsinghua and Peking Universities can't get: The boy should be our class monitor.

I don't eat pears: Which class are you in?

Students that Tsinghua and Peking Universities cannot get: Class 3.

I don't eat pears: Are they together?

Students who can't get into Tsinghua and Peking Universities: Oh my god, something big happened yesterday!

This "student that Tsinghua and Peking University can't have" should be a girl in his class; he hasn't added all the girls on QQ.

He slowly swiped the screen to the bottom and saw a new comment.

Yan Shu: His name is Li Mubai, and he is a very good person.

After thinking for a moment, he liked and replied to Xie Shu.
