So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

Yun Daidai stole a glance at Zhou You and had the courage to tell him that she still liked him and wanted to get back together with him.

Perhaps that time never even existed?

Because she knew that even if she spoke up, he would definitely reject her, and then they wouldn't even be able to remain friends.

She didn't want it to be like this, not at all.

So she wouldn't do anything but behave herself, simply to stay by his side.

At most, it's just a sliver of hope for that almost impossible 'miracle'.

"Dai Dai?"

Zhou You breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the girls walk away, then turned to look at Yun Daidai and found her standing there in a daze, seemingly lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about? Why did you suddenly space out?"

"Ah! It's nothing, let's hurry and find the teacher." Yun Daidai snapped out of her daze and smiled at him subconsciously. She saw the gentle light in the depths of his eyes and the lack of any trace of melancholy on his face.

“…Hmm.” Zhou You knew that Yun Daidai was changing the subject, but since she didn’t want to talk about it, he couldn’t force her to.

The two continued walking inside, where the senior students of Hangzhou High School were in a separate teaching building.

They passed some walkways and corridors, as well as the plum tree that the school had transplanted.

The plum blossoms on the tree have begun to fall, one pink petal after another landing on the soil. In a while, the petals should turn into spring mud to nourish the plum blossoms for the next year.

“Last time, I got a good lecture from you here.” Yun Daidai brought up the time she came to the school to block Zhou You. At that time, the plum blossoms hadn’t bloomed yet, but now they’ve all fallen.

“I wasn’t lecturing you last time, was I?” Zhou You offered a different perspective.

"You're advising me to 'look to the future' instead."

Yun Daidai smiled playfully and teased him, "Isn't this a lecture? I almost cried the other day because of you."

Zhou You observed Yun Daidai's expression; she was simply looking at him with amusement. He hesitated and said, "Then... I'm very sorry?"

"Pfft~~ You're so funny, You."

Yun Daidai patted Zhou You affectionately, "If I really cared, I wouldn't have said it at this time."

She paused, then added, "Besides, what you said back then wasn't wrong; it was indeed my fault."

"..."

Zhou You didn't know how to respond to Yun Daidai's words. Life is indeed full of uncertainties. He used to avoid Yun Daidai like the plague, but now he can speak to her kindly and talk to her like an ordinary friend.

"The changes are tremendous," he remarked.

"Are you saying I've changed again?" Yun Daidai turned to the side with a curious look, bending slightly. The light shone through her hair, adding a touch of coquettishness.

“No, I mean, we, and many things have changed,” Zhou You replied.

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Yun Daidai straightened up, put her hands behind her back, and walked forward with light steps.

Da da da~~

"That's normal, we've all grown up."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, some things don't change as you grow up."

"What is it?" Zhou You asked curiously.

"Guess~~" Yun Daidai not only didn't say anything, but also playfully teased him.

Zhou You looked helpless and spread his hands. "I can't guess."

"Pfft~~"

I still like it.

And you haven't changed either; sometimes you're still just as silly.

…………

The two chatted as they arrived at the senior high school building. In the teachers' office, they found their former homeroom teacher, a middle-aged man in his thirties with a ruddy complexion who liked to carry around a large water cup filled with honeysuckle or other things all day long.

"Long time no see! I heard you two are both at Zhejiang University's Chu Kochen Honors College now, right?" The old teacher was also quite happy to see his former students. After all, he had taught them for three years, and they were top students, so there was bound to be some teacher-student bond between them.

Last time Zhou You came to Hangzhou for a parent-teacher conference at a high school, he ran into Yun Daidai by chance and forgot to catch up with his old teacher.

Yun Daidai, having been lectured by Zhou You, naturally had no interest in reminiscing with her former homeroom teacher.

"Yeah, it's been a long time, old teacher. Which class are you teaching now?"

Yun Daidai remained silent throughout; it was mostly Zhou You and the old teacher who were chatting. She stood obediently behind him like a dutiful daughter-in-law.

The teacher took a few more curious glances at her, as he didn't think Yun Daidai was such a well-behaved and docile girl.

"Ms. Chen is on maternity leave, so I am currently teaching Class 3 of Senior 3. This is the worst class I have ever taught."

"Teacher, it seems like you said the same thing when you were teaching us before."

The teacher chuckled. "Looking back now, your class wasn't bad at all. How are things going at Z University?"

“It’s great,” Zhou You replied. He was not only doing great, but he also went to school and even won over the beautiful headmistress.

They were living a life of incredible success, as happy as immortals.

"University is different from high school; you'll have to rely on yourselves to learn. I'm at ease no matter where you two go."

After chatting for a while, the teacher still knew what the two of them had come to school for today.

"I won't keep you from your business any longer. We can talk another time. I'll take you to the Dean of Students first."

He stood up and waved to the two of them, "However, seeing how good your relationship is now, I might be able to attend your wedding soon."

He actually knew about Yun Daidai and Zhou You's relationship all along, but since they both had excellent grades, he turned a blind eye as long as it didn't affect their studies.

"Teacher, actually..."

Yun Daidai, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. She said very softly, "Zhou You and I broke up a long time ago."

"This..." The old teacher was taken aback and felt a little embarrassed.

Judging from Yun Daidai and Zhou You's behavior today, he felt that they were even more like a couple than they were in high school, but he never expected this...

"You two broke up?"

"Ah."

Yun Daidai responded softly. Actually, she was quite pleased when her teacher said that she and her teacher seemed to have a good relationship, but she was only trying to explain because of Zhou You.

Otherwise, she herself would be happy for others to misunderstand, the deeper the misunderstanding, the better.

So deep...it felt like it was real.

359. There is a lot of room for improvement.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward because Zhou You and Yun Daidai's former homeroom teacher inadvertently brought up a strange topic.

It was Zhou You who took the initiative to smooth things over, suggesting that the old teacher lead him and Yun Daidai to the dean of students first, which prevented the atmosphere from becoming too tense.

Things were able to continue.

A considerable amount of time has passed.

Below the rostrum on the playground, students were already lined up in long queues.

A girl whom Zhou You didn't recognize was the grade representative of this year's senior class at Hangzhou High School. She was giving an encouraging speech on the podium for the 100-day countdown to the college entrance exam, and the speech was gradually coming to an end.

"Dear students, looking to the future, the next one hundred days are right before us. We must be persistent and confident, and walk through them steadily. We must cherish our time and study diligently. We must work hard and persevere... There will be times when we ride the wind and break the waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean!"

That concludes my remarks. Thank you everyone.

The girl, who was representing the senior class, bowed to the audience and walked off the stage with firm steps.

The school's dean of students stood in front of the microphone.

"Next, please welcome our seniors Zhou You and Yun Daidai from the previous year of Hangzhou High School to the stage to offer their blessings to everyone."

The previously quiet senior high school students suddenly erupted into a considerable uproar.

"Senior Zhou and Senior Yun? Really?"

Who are Senior Zhou and Senior Yun? Are they famous?

"Did you just transfer here...? I saw some upperclassmen."

Someone pointed to the area below the stage, and the person next to him instinctively turned to look in that direction.

His actions seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

One, two, three, in batches, in groups of three...

Whether out of admiration or pure curiosity, everyone's attention was focused on Zhou You and Yun Daidai, who were walking toward the stage.

Zhou You and Yun Daidai had returned to the school once before, but nothing compared to this grand entrance onto the podium.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've become more and more beautiful."

"It seems like Senior Sister Yun isn't as cold as before."

"The gentle senior sister Yun! Ah! I've made up my mind! I must study hard and get into Hangzhou Z University!"

Several people around the boy who made the bold statement turned to look at him. One of them reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Excuse me, what's your score now?"

“Well…” the boy scratched his head sheepishly, “…there is a lot of room for improvement.”

Everyone else understood immediately upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, a group of lively boys in the audience, seeing Yun Daidai's even more stunning beauty than before, couldn't help but start gossiping about her.

Most of the girls were quite reserved, and even those who had feelings for Zhou You only secretly glanced at him a few more times.

Or, they might whisper to each other.

The noise below the podium didn't last long. When the homeroom teachers of each class walked into the line, the students, who had been more excited than the last, instantly stood up straight, their eyes fixed intently on the podium, as if they had been listening attentively to the speaker from the podium since the beginning.

But how could their self-deceiving behavior possibly fool the teacher?

After all, who didn't go through high school? The teachers might even be reminiscing about how they were back then.

And it is probably because of this 'touching' feeling that they sometimes turn a blind eye and do not expose the students' little tricks.
