We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

What movie do you want to watch?

"Play 'Ju-on'."

"Let's show something more relatable, like 'The Eight Hundred'."

"Play 'Hi, Mom'."

There was much discussion, but the final decision rested with Teacher Chen.

"Alright, all of you shut up. The audiovisual education department is going to show 'Interstellar'."

Now I understand, it turns out that Teacher Chen wanted to see it himself.

"Teacher, I need a premium membership to Bilibili."

Teacher Chen went up and logged into his account—annual member, which shows he's a seasoned Bilibili user.

Returning to the homepage and refreshing it, the recommended videos are all fitness-related.

My dad was a farmer.

It started, but no one turned off the lights.

"Turn off the lights," Teacher Chen said.

"Smack."

"Li Mubai, stop doing your homework and watch a movie," Chen Qiuhe said in a low voice.

Okay, with the lights off, all we can do is watch movies.

"Waaah~"

As the story progressed to focus on the father and daughter, some people began to sob quietly. It's understandable; some girls are just more emotional.

Li Mubai turned his head slightly and glanced at Chen Qiuhe out of the corner of his eye. She was watching intently, the changing light and shadow of the movie illuminating her face.

He looked away and then at Xie Shu in front of him, wondering what she was thinking while watching the movie. Was she as sentimental as other girls?

"Let's go find Brand."

"Reluctantly, I admit it´sa plan."

"Smack."

The lights came back on, and some girls were wiping away their tears with tissues.

Ignoring the American savior values, it is indeed a very touching and excellent movie.

"Here you go." Li Mubai handed Chen Qiuhe a tissue.

"Why are you giving this to me? I didn't cry."

"Really?" Li Mubai looked down at her.

Chen Qiuhe turned her head away, not wanting him to see.

He laughed. If he could take a picture, he definitely would, but Teacher Chen was still there.

He placed the tissue on the table and looked away.

Even someone as strong as Chen Qiuhe shed tears. I wonder how Xie Shu is doing? I really want to get down from my seat and go see him.

But judging from the motionless back in front, there shouldn't be any reaction, right?

……

Yan Shu: "Are you there?"

A message came from the bedtime reading book.

Li Bubai: "Yes."

Yan Shu: "Spark".

…Is it really that important that there's still a spark?

Li Bubai: "Has the research topic been completed in half a month?"

The sports meet was going on all week, so Li Mubai didn't urge her much.

Yan Shu: "Not yet, sorry."

Li Bubai: "It's alright, it's alright, there's a sports meet this week."

Yan Shu: "Thank you."

Anyway, it took him a week to write it, but then a sentence suddenly came to mind.

Li Bubai: "Don't rush, but you must be quick."

Yan Shu: "Should we go faster or slower?"

Li Bubai: "Of course, we should look at it dialectically. We should grasp the key points of things and adhere to the combination of two points. 'Don't rush' means that the quality of the project should be guaranteed in half a month. Don't rush and produce shoddy work. 'Go fast' means that this matter cannot be delayed and will end up being a failure."

puff...

"Shu, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing much, I just read something interesting in a book."

I wish it could be like this in real life...

Yan Shu: "Your political science grades must be excellent."

Li Bubai: "It's alright, it's alright."

Yan Shu: "Then I will complete the task quickly and well, according to your requirements."

Li Bubai: "I was just kidding. If you're busy with the sports meet, you can come out after you're done."

Yan Shu didn't reply; it seems she really is thinking about the topic for half a month.

Um--

Yan Shu: "How about a cat-themed theme?"

Li Bubai: "?"

Did they install a surveillance camera on my phone?

Yan Shu: "What's wrong? Is it not good? Then I'll get another one."

Li Bubai: "No, this topic is fine, it's just that I fed a stray cat today."

So he went to feed the stray cats in the afternoon. No wonder I didn't see him. But where are there stray cats at the school?

Yan Shu: "She's very kind-hearted."

Li Bubai: "No, it's just that my family doesn't allow me to keep cats, so I can only feed stray cats. In the end, it's just to satisfy myself."

Yan Shu: "That's fine too, I have a rag doll at home."

Li Bubai: "Rag dolls, they're a very beautiful breed."

Li Mubai had no intention of checking if the other party had any photos, and Yan Shu had no intention of sending them either.

The two chatted about cats for a long time, when Li Mubai suddenly thought of a question, a question that had been bothering him all day and for a long time.

Li Bubai: "By the way, are you going to sleep? I want to ask you a question, it might take a while."

Yan Shu: "It's okay, go ahead and ask."

Li Bubai: "Wait a moment, I'll share it with you."

After a while, Li Mubai shared a screenshot of a post with Yan Shu.

"Friends, I have a question. I'm an ordinary girl, but I've fallen for a very outstanding guy from a wealthy family. In this situation, is it worth continuing the relationship?"

Li Bubai: "This is a post from another school's confession wall, which has caused a lot of discussion. My friend forwarded it to me to take a look."

It's not a hot topic, and it's not about other schools.

Actually, Li Mubai imitated the style of the confession wall, then took a screenshot and sent it to Yan Shu, so that the other party had no way to verify it.

...Yan Shu did not reply immediately, perhaps he was thinking about it.

However, the flashing "The other party is typing" message suggests that the other party is hesitant to speak.

Li Mubai waited for a long time, thinking the other person had already fallen asleep, before Yan Shu finally replied to the message.

Yan Shu: "Yes, love can overcome everything."

Can it really overcome everything? Li Mubai doesn't quite believe in the power of subjective will.

Li Bubai: "There's a comment below saying that the two people are unequal in both status and achievements, so being together will only bring many difficulties. Even if they were together, could it last?"

Li Mubai considers not only whether two people like each other, but also whether they can be together and what conditions are necessary for it to last.

Yan Shu fell silent again; it seemed this was indeed a rather difficult question.

Yan Shu: "Then strive to become excellent, and be on par with them."

Can hard work really make a difference? Given Xie Shu's grades and family background, can he really achieve parity with her through hard work?

Li Bubai: "The poster added information, saying that the boy is extremely outstanding, consistently ranking first in a top high school, while she herself is only an average to above-average student. Can she really catch up to him through hard work?"

Yan Shu: "Perhaps there is a big gap between the two people, and perhaps there are many difficulties, but as long as she can maintain a positive and hardworking attitude, there should always be some hope, and there should always be gains and progress."

Yan Shu: "No matter how you look at it, compared to doing nothing and directly declaring a verdict, at least there is a possibility."

Yan Shu: "Perhaps boys will also like her hard work and ambition."

"Beep beep! Beep beep!"

The watch has reached midnight, which marks the dividing line between yesterday and today.

Yan Shu: "Perhaps they could try being friends first?"

Friends...
