The opening ceremony has come to an end. Please exit the playground in an orderly manner, everyone. Thank you! With the host's words, the ceremony concluded.
Finally, it's over! My legs are so stiff from standing!
I know, right? It's so hot; the school really doesn't care about us!
Let's go get some water!
Upon hearing that they could buy something, Lin Menghan hurried off by herself. Why wasn't she with Xu Nancheng or Wang Xinyue? The crowd had scattered them apart.
She arrived at the school gate and was relieved to find it wasn't too crowded here; most students had headed to the cafeteria. Spotting the milk tea shop nearby, she waved at the staff. "Excuse me, can you come over for a moment?" she smiled.
"What would you like to order?" The staff rushed over upon seeing her wave; after all, it was another sale.
Lin Menghan counted her money. Oh no, I can only afford two cups of milk tea. After a moment of thought, she decided, "Alright, I'll take two cups of Oreo Double Skin Milk!"
"Sure!"
Before long, the staff returned with two cups of milk tea. "Here you go!"
Lin Menghan took out her money and handed it to the staff. "Thanks!" She grabbed the milk tea and dashed toward the teaching building. It was the first day of school, and she wanted to make a good impression on her classmates and teachers—no tardiness allowed!
Back in the classroom, most of her classmates had already arrived. They were chatting and laughing, while some were still rushing to finish their assignments. Only a few seats remained empty.
Glancing at the time, she noted there were still about ten minutes until class started. Since it was the first day back, teachers had a lot to handle, and students were still in a carefree state.
As she walked past her seat without sitting down, she smiled at Xu Nancheng as a greeting. First things first—she needed to deliver the milk tea to those two guys before spending time with the charming Xu Nancheng.
She made her way to Xu Dong and Chen Yi's seats. "Here you go! Brother Xu Dong! Chen Yi Ge! This is what I promised you!"
"Thanks, little sister!" They both sweetly thanked her as they eagerly accepted the milk tea.
"This is just what I promised; no need for thanks." Then she remembered what Wang Xinyue had said earlier. "Brother Xu Dong! Why are you the class monitor?"
"Oh, that? I don't know; maybe the teacher thought I looked strict enough to handle it," Xu Dong replied honestly, unsure why he had been chosen for that role.
"Then maybe I should just take the back door?" Lin Menghan whispered to Xu Dong, jokingly. After all, she was a model student, the kind who had hardly ever been punished by a teacher.
"Do we even need to say that? He’s definitely going to help Lin Menghan out," someone chimed in.
As the saying goes, "When one person rises to power, their chickens and dogs ascend with them." That was exactly how it worked.
He probably hadn’t helped anyone else out yet; this old guy was always quite upright. After all, he could help others, but no one ever asked him for favors.
The students in this class were generally obedient, and Xu Dong himself only hung out with a few people whose grades were quite good—far from needing any special treatment.
"Alright, I’ll head back now! Just find me if you need anything!" she said cheerfully before bouncing back to her seat.
What she didn’t know was that a little jealous heart was going wild at that moment.
Xu Nancheng had been watching Lin Menghan since she entered the classroom. When he saw her smile at him, his heart warmed instantly.
But then he noticed she didn’t talk to him much; instead, she grabbed two cups of milk tea and ran over to Chen Yi’s desk, chatting and laughing with them. He felt a pang of unhappiness as his lips drooped.
Looking at his empty desk made the jealousy swell even more. He had promised himself he wouldn’t be jealous of Chen Yi or Xu Dong, but at that moment, he couldn’t help it.
When Lin Menghan returned from Shen Yaoqi’s desk, Xu Nancheng ignored her completely, not even glancing her way.
After all, he had no claim over her; he wasn’t her boyfriend, so it wasn’t his place to interfere!
He rested his head on the desk, wishing desperately for Lin Menghan to notice him and see how lonely he felt. Yet he didn’t make any move.
Suddenly, a gentle voice broke through his thoughts. "Nancheng, why are you lying there all alone?" Lin Menghan noticed him right away and guessed something was off.
This guy wasn’t the type to just lay on the desk like that. And now that she was here, he wouldn’t even look at her—something was definitely wrong!
"It’s nothing; I just want to sleep," Xu Nancheng replied, trying to sound indifferent. His tone didn’t betray any hint of jealousy; it really did sound like he wanted to sleep.
"Oh really?" She leaned closer to his ear and whispered softly, "You must be craving milk tea."
Her gentle tone and quiet voice were particularly piercing in Xu Nancheng's ears.
He quickly lifted his head. "What are you talking about? What milk tea?" His expression gave nothing away; he looked almost lifeless.
"Keep pretending!" She smiled mischievously and leaned in closer again. "I didn’t buy you any milk tea because I didn’t have enough money. I originally wanted to hold your hand as compensation... but if you don’t need that..."
