Why are you always thinking about dating me?

Xu Qinghuan threw herself into his arms and whispered against his chest.

Chapter Seven Location

October 8th, the holiday ends.

As for what happened to Number Seven, Lin An felt it wasn't appropriate to describe it. Anyway, when he woke up the next morning, he was listless and felt completely drained.

Miss Xu Qinghuan is the best partner, no matter how you look at it. She is a little fairy, a little devil, a little monster. She can devour Lin An completely, but Lin An becomes willing once again, and even feels a lot of guilt because of it.

Because Xu Qinghuan was telling the truth. If she didn't love him, why would she give him everything without reservation the moment she became an adult? Over the years, he had never seen her flirting with any other boy. On the contrary, Lin An was entangled with two girls. Yet, he still became suspicious of her, wavered, and couldn't figure out Xu Qinghuan's thoughts. As a result, his previous strict guard was broken down by Xiao Chacha and Su Yuejin in turn, causing him to waver.

She has the heart of a mature woman but the body of a young girl. She is still an older sister after all, and she has her own sorrows. He is not the only one who is sad.

After Lin An understood this, many of his questions were easily resolved. School started today, and it seemed life was about to return to calm, no longer turbulent and turbulent. He should be a normal high school sophomore, studying hard… studying hard…

This thought became inexplicably confused again after Lin An arrived at the classroom and saw Miss Xiao Chacha.

He had almost forgotten that Xiao Chacha was still his deskmate. Lin An still preferred to sit alone, and no one would notice what he did. Now that there was someone else around, Xiao Chacha was always chattering and making a bit of noise.

"Oh ha yo," Xiao Chacha murmured to him.

Today she was wearing a sweatshirt, loose jeans, and her jet-black hair was casually draped over her shoulders without being tied up. She had a Bluetooth earphone in her ear and was holding a piece of chocolate in her hand.

"Good morning." Lin An sat down and nodded slightly.

"What did you do yesterday? You didn't reply to WeChat or QQ messages, and you didn't play games. If it weren't for your novel update, I would have thought you were dead," Xiao Chacha muttered casually.

“Yesterday…” Lin An murmured, some strange images flashing through his mind: Miss Xu Qinghuan’s blushing face, Miss Xu Qinghuan’s teeth-gritting tongue-out expression, Miss Xu Qinghuan’s expression when she pressed her hand against his chest, Xu Qinghuan… Stop.

Having given up on thinking about Xu Qinghuan, Lin An shook his head, shaking off the strange thoughts in his head. "Something came up, so I didn't reply."

"Oh." Xiao Chacha nodded and didn't ask what it was about. Soon the morning reading class started. Lin An started lip-syncing to his book, and so did Xiao Chacha. After the morning reading class ended, Lin An put down his book and planned to sleep a little longer.

"What did you do last night?"

Lin An thought her question was correct, so she hummed in agreement and went to sleep without explaining anything further. Xiao Chacha was stunned for about two or three seconds. Wait a minute, Su Yuejin and she were playing games together last night, weren't they?

But Xiao Chacha couldn't think of an answer. She guessed that Lin An was just making a casual remark to annoy her? After thinking it over, that was the only conclusion she could come up with. After all, what pretty girls were around him? It shouldn't be like that, absolutely not.

When Lin An woke up, it was already lunchtime. He rubbed his eyes groggily, then got up and went to the cafeteria for lunch. Xiao Chacha followed him like a little follower.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Lin An ordered a plate of braised pork with preserved mustard greens, a plate of rice, and a plate of seaweed soup. He then found a small corner to sit down. Xiao Chacha sat opposite him. Just as he was about to say something, someone came over with a tray in his sight.

Today, Su Yuejin was wearing a white sweatshirt and a light purple plaid skirt. To keep warm, she also wore black over-the-knee socks, with a small patch of fair skin showing between the hem of the skirt and the top of the socks. The socks were slightly tight, pressing against her slender thighs. She carried a plate and sat down next to Lin An.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Su Yuejin asked softly.

Because she hadn't received a reply to her message from yesterday, she was a little confused. Xiao Chacha, watching the commotion from across the street, muttered, "I bet he went to see his sister yesterday."

"Do you believe it?" Lin An silently took a bite of rice.

"I don't believe it, Xiao Chacha, shut your mouth." Su Yuejin replied calmly. She was completely immune to this level of instigation. Lin An thought for a moment, "I had something to do yesterday and was busy, so I didn't check the messages much."

"Okay, I understand." Su Yuejin nodded slightly, then thought for a moment, "Where should we go tonight?"

"Huh? Why don't we all go home and go to bed early?" Lin An glanced at her as well. Su Yuejin pouted slightly, looking aggrieved, but Lin An was immune to her grievances. No matter how pretty she was, it was useless.

"Okay, then let's go out and play again next time. Oh, right, there's one more thing!"

"what?"

"I just remembered, I haven't gone to find Luo Shuishui yet. You eat first, and Xiao Chacha, you just wait."

As Su Yuejin said this, she stood up again with her plate. Because of her height, she quickly spotted Luo Shuishui in the corner of the crowd, who was eating her meal quietly by herself.

It wasn't that she had no friends; Luo Shuishui had a pretty good relationship with most people in the classroom. It was just that she was used to eating alone because she didn't like to talk while eating. Su Yuejin sat opposite her.

"Luo Shuishui." Su Yuejin's voice was very soft.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Luo Shuishui looked up; she had her hair in pigtails today.

"You said last time... that after National Day, you would let me transfer to this class." Su Yuejin still spoke cautiously. Although she was proud, she knew that she had to bow her head when necessary, unlike Xiao Chacha, who was more extreme.

"I think I did say that. Okay, come on over this afternoon. I'll let the teacher know in a bit." Luo Shuishui nodded gently, and after a little while, she asked, "Did you have a good holiday?"

"I'm quite happy."

"It's fine." She nodded, then continued to eat her food in small bites.

....................................

The lunch break after lunch.

Su Yuejin packed up her books, and Luo Shuishui went to the office. After lunch break, the teacher led Su Yuejin into the classroom. The news of Su Yuejin transferring classes caused quite a stir in the neighboring class and Lin An's class.

The neighboring classroom was in an uproar because a pretty girl they always saw was missing. The reason for the uproar in Lin An's class was self-evident. However, when the teacher was arranging seats for Su Yuejin, she thought for a moment and said, "Go sit next to Lin An. Xiao Chacha and Luo Shuishui can sit together. It will be easier for them to see the blackboard that way."

Xiao Chacha was still sleeping. Lin An poked her arm with his finger. When Xiao Chacha woke up groggily, Su Yuejin was already standing in front of her.

"Xiao Chacha, my classmate."

"Huh? Su Yuejin, what are you up to now?" Xiao Chacha rubbed her eyes, asking groggily. The autumn sunlight was soft and warm, and Su Yuejin smiled gently.

"Go sit next to Luo Shuishui, this seat is mine."

She placed her hand on Xiao Chacha's desk. Xiao Chacha pursed her lips, seemingly realizing what was happening, and said, "You wish."

"That's what the teacher said."

"I protest."

"It's invalid. Go find a teacher to battle with yourself. Give me your spot first."

Xiao Chacha's lips immediately pouted. When had she ever suffered such humiliation, being so proud? She was immediately displeased, stood up from her seat, and leaned forward slightly. "Why should I?"

Instead, Su Yuejin frowned slightly, then reached out and gently placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Didn't you always dislike interacting with boys? Isn't it a good thing to change your deskmate to Luo Shuishui? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Chacha's eyes widened, but she found that she really... couldn't say a word.

If she says she just doesn't want to change, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the lie she told Su Yuejin the day before yesterday?

A few seconds later.

"I'll change it!"

Xiao Chacha angrily put away the books on the table, then walked towards Luo Shuishui's seat with the books in her arms. Luo Shuishui's seat was in the third row against the wall of the classroom, not very obvious, but the seat next to her was also empty.

Because the girl next to Luo Shuishui had been wanting to transfer classes for a while, since her boyfriend was in Su Yuejin's class, she was able to transfer when Su Yuejin transferred over. Luo Shuishui also helped to make it happen, so Xiao Chacha's deskmate became Luo Shuishui.

Lin An's deskmate became Su Yuejin.

Having a deskmate during school days is a very interesting relationship. If it's the same sex, you can usually get along quite well. If it's the opposite sex, there might be many ambiguous stories. But most of the time it's the same sex, not the opposite sex.

Adolescence is a time of exploding hormones and boiling desires. These desires can easily lead to infatuation and make it difficult to focus on studies. Therefore, cherish your studies and stay away from early romantic relationships.

Su Yuejin was the fuse that ignited the hormones of many people's adolescence. She put down her book, straightened her skirt, put her slender legs together, and sat down next to Lin An as if she didn't know him.

Lin An could only watch her for a few seconds.

One second, two seconds, three seconds. When Lin An counted to five, Su Yuejin turned her head and said, "Surprised? Unexpected? That little fly Xiao Chacha has been chased away. Now it's your turn to keep you company."

“Xiao Chacha is a little fly, so what are you?” Lin An asked.

"I am...I am..." Su Yuejin couldn't answer for a moment, then asked Lin An stupidly, "What do you think I am?"

“You are a caterpillar,” Lin An replied simply.

Su Yuejin thought for a moment, then her eyes filled with resentment, "Why a caterpillar?"

"Because you crawled over here all sticky, I still prefer to sit alone." Lin An replied helplessly. After Su Yuejin sat down next to him, Lin An could feel countless envious, jealous, and murderous gazes directed at him.

After all, everyone thinks that being close to the water gives you an advantage.

"I don't care, I don't care, you're not allowed to hate me... Even if I'm a caterpillar, I'm the kind that can turn into a butterfly!"

"Maybe it'll turn into a big moth." Lin An muttered to himself. Su Yuejin looked at him with a resentful expression, and after a second or two, she burst out laughing.

"How stupid."

Lin An shrugged, then turned to look at the sky outside the window. The sky was clear and cloudless, a deep blue.

Chapter Eight You

"I think Xiao Chacha has feelings for you." Su Yuejin, like a little detective, twitched her nose slightly and tugged at Lin An's clothes, speaking very seriously.

"Oh." Lin An nodded.

"You know that?" Su Yuejin was taken aback.

"Anyone with eyes can see that, right? That girl was all dressed up and swaying in front of me, but she wouldn't say she liked me. Wasn't she just trying to hint at it? She even let me hold her hand the other day."

"So, so, you..." Su Yuejin was a little surprised. She initially thought Lin An didn't know, but then she thought about it and realized that Lin An should indeed know. He was so smart, but since he knew, why didn't he say anything?

"What?" Lin An was still looking at the sky outside the window, not knowing what was so interesting about it.

"So you're not allowed to like her." Su Yuejin seemed a little jealous, her voice full of jealousy. She was jealous, feeling that Lin An was quite good to Xiao Chacha, and that she didn't want him to like her, as long as he was good to her.

"Then who should I like?" Lin An continued to ask calmly.

"Of course he likes me."

"But I don't like you." He continued muttering, his voice so calm, without the slightest tremor, as if stating a fact.

These words caused Su Yuejin's expression to freeze slightly. After a second or two of silence, she responded softly, "Oh."

"Then, then you shouldn't like her either, okay?" Her tone was no longer assertive; instead, it became very weak.

"She's not cute; I prefer someone cuter."

"Are you implying something to me, Lin An?"

"No, I just wanted to... nothing. By the way, how are your grades?" Lin An changed the subject.

"A complete mess."

"I guessed so. Do you have any desire to seriously study it?" Lin An suddenly asked her.

"Huh?"

"Aren't you usually feeling empty, lonely, and cold? Then study hard, read more books when you have free time, read novels when you're in a bad mood, and do math problems when you don't know what to do."

"This feels so troublesome," Su Yuejin muttered softly, her head down.

"Are you willing to learn? I can teach you and help you catch up on your studies."

"You'll teach me?"
