Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

Lin Wu pursed her lips, gripping her pen tightly. "So what if it's frozen? I don't care."

Bo Shan raised an eyebrow. "Okay, okay."

Song Shibai propped his chin on his hand and said, "Actually, you could ask Xie Yanhuai or Bo Shan. They would definitely write it for you."

"I'll write it myself!" Lin Wu muttered under her breath, lowering her head. "I can write it myself, I don't need anyone else to write it for me."

She wrote in silence until dark before leaving.

Everyone else had gone home. Boshan said, "How about we have dinner before you leave?"

"My younger brother is still waiting for me at home," Lin Wu said sullenly, slinging her schoolbag over her shoulder. "I'm leaving now."

Bo Shan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, "Okay, I'll take you."

Lin Wu grabbed her schoolbag. "Okay."

……

Lin Si got home before Lin Wu.

He and Lin Xun sat side by side on the carpet watching TV.

Hearing the noise coming from the entrance, the two finally managed to tear their eyes away from the television.

"Sister, you're back?" Lin Xun stood up and ran over, barefoot and wearing only socks.

"Um."

Lin Wu responded and put her schoolbag on the table next to her.

Lin Si noticed her displeasure. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much," Lin Wu said dejectedly. "I had a fight with a friend."

Lin Xun blinked, her mind racing. "Did she have a fight with Brother Wangwang?"

"How did you guess?" Lin Wu glanced at him.

"...Hmm..." Lin Xun said, "You only act like this when you're arguing with Sister Boshan and Brother Wangwang, but you're coming back so late, it shouldn't be with Sister Boshan."

"You're quite smart."

After Lin Wu finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.

She opened the refrigerator, took out three ice cream cones, and gave one to each of Lin Si and Lin Xun.

Lin Si took it and ate it directly.

Lin Xun hesitated for a moment, "If Mom comes back and finds the quantity is wrong, we'll have to stand in the corner as punishment again."

"Then don't eat it," Lin Wu said, biting into the crispy ice cream cone. "It's not too late to put it back now."

Lin Xun: "…………"

He pouted, looking at the ice cream cone in his hand, really reluctant to put it back. In the end, he decisively tore open the outer packaging and ate it.

The ice cream cone was very cold. Lin Wu usually eats it slowly, but this time she just bit it with her teeth, and her mouth was icy cold.

Even after finishing the entire ice cream cone, Lin Wu's frustration remained unabated.

She whispered, "He must have other good friends outside."

Lin Xun had just finished eating the outermost layer of chocolate coating, and the area around his mouth was completely smeared with chocolate, with chocolate also appearing on his snow-white cheeks.

Who is it?

"I don't know," Lin Wu said confidently. "He never rejected me before."

"That's really going too far," Lin Xun said indignantly, sharing the same sentiment. "How could they do that?"

"Then you should hang out with other people too," Lin Si said. "Friends always go their separate ways eventually."

"Huh?" Lin Xun didn't even bother eating her ice cream cone. "I don't want to! I don't want to be separated from my friends!"

"But in the end, they will all separate," Lin Si said.

Lin Xun: "That's a fallacy."

Lin Si: "Don't you watch cartoons every day? The main character meets many people along the way, travels together briefly, and then part ways in tacit understanding."

They parted ways tacitly.

This realization came as a shock to Lin Wu.

She stared blankly at the television screen in front of her, where an animated film was playing.

She wasn't as melancholic as Lin Si; she rarely watched cartoons and spent more time going out to play with friends.

Even now, although she is sad and longs to reconcile with Xu Jingwang, she still feels heartbroken.

But I still want to wait for him to take the initiative.

Tell her proactively if she has other good friends outside.

"I don't care."

Lin Wu sniffed. "At worst, we can just be strangers from now on. Anyway, the midterm exams are coming up soon, and the seating will be changed after the midterms. I'll talk to Teacher Yan about changing my deskmate then."

With this thought in mind, Lin Wu finally fell asleep holding the doll, feeling so sad.

The next day, Li Ma knocked on the door from outside.

The alarm clock on the bedside table is ringing.

She sat up, clutching the blanket, as memories of the previous night flooded back, making her heart feel heavy.

After washing up and changing into her school uniform, Lin Wu stood in front of the full-length mirror and thought to herself, "What's so great about that? I have way too many friends."

……

After breakfast, I arrived at the classroom.

Lin Wu stood at the back door and glanced inside.

Her deskmate had already arrived.

She and Xu Jingwang sat in the row by the window, while Xu Jingwang sat on the outside by the aisle, and her seat was an excellent one.

The table is against the wall below, and the windowsill is above it.

You can put a water glass and a pen holder on it.

The distance between the front and back desks is also acceptable.

In the past, Lin Wu would have stood next to Xu Jingwang and grumbled, insisting that he stand up before she swaggered in.

She enjoyed the indulgence that Xu Jingwang gave her.

The two most popular boys in the class were Xu Jingwang and Xie Yanhuai.

Both of them were rather aloof and rarely interacted with others.

Xie Yanhuai usually doesn't pay much attention to Lin Wu; he likes Lin Wu to revolve around him.

Xu Jingwang is different.

He only smiles at her and will fulfill all her requests.

It's like doing homework.

Lin Wu wanted Xie Yanhuai to write it for her, but it would take half a day to ask him.

Xu Jingwang took the initiative to write it for her.

Having experienced his boundless indulgence, one will become spoiled and find it difficult to accept his rejection.

Even if it's just refusing to do homework once.

This time, Lin Wu didn't say anything or urge him to get up. Instead, she silently hugged her schoolbag and squeezed through the gap between him and the student behind her.

Xu Jingwang looked down at the storybook, showing no reaction.

In the past, Lin Wu would have pulled him aside and started chatting about random things.

The two of them were now quietly doing their own thing, and the atmosphere was unusually strange.

Song Shibai arrived rather late, carrying steamed buns in one hand and a bottle of yogurt in the other.

He was rather overweight, so his deskmate had to stand up and give up his seat before he could get in.

After much effort, I finally sat down.

He couldn't keep his mouth shut, and turned to start a conversation, but when he saw the two of them so quiet, he said in surprise, "You two haven't made up yet?"

Lin Wu stared at her Chinese textbook, but out of the corner of her eye, she secretly observed her deskmate.

Xu Jingwang still didn't react much, he just silently turned a page of his book.

Lin Wu pursed her lips.

What a ruthless man.

She thought to herself silently.

Song Shibai waited for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him. "Hiss, are you two both mute?"

"You're the one who's mute," Lin Wu said impatiently. "Can't you talk to your deskmate? I need to study, don't bother me."

"Give me a break. I'd believe you if you said Xiao Xu was reviewing the material." Song Shibai pouted. "Wuwu, you can't even come up with a better excuse."

"I'm not making excuses."

Out of the corner of her eye, the boy seemed uninterested in her conversation with Song Shibai.
