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

Today was still the sports meet, and when the two of them went in, there were only five or six people in the classroom.

After everyone hands in their homework to the class representative's desk, they can go to the playground.

When Lin Wu placed the homework on Xu Jingwang's desk, she glanced at it but couldn't tell if he was there or not. So she turned to the student behind him and asked, "Is the math class representative here?"

"Probably not." The person at the table behind me was wolfing down their bread. "I didn't see him come."

"OK."

Lin Wu nodded, and then placed the small cake she was carrying in her other hand on his table.

Just as I was about to leave, the back leg of the chair was dragged out.

She turned her head away.

Xu Jingwang carried a backpack on one shoulder. He had a competition today. He was wearing a black tracksuit and holding a cell phone in the other hand. His wrist was thin and hung in the air.

Lin Wu said, "Your timing is quite good."

Xu Jingwang stared intently at her face, and after a few seconds, slowly looked at the exquisitely packaged little box on the table.

He raised an eyebrow slightly: "A gift for me?"

Lin Wu nodded, her long, black hair slipping from her shoulders and falling to her chest. "Yes."

Xu Jingwang gripped his phone with his long fingers, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Why did you suddenly send me a cake?"

"Because you have to run 5,000 meters today." Lin Wu reached out and patted his shoulder, sighed, and said, "You've worked hard."

"Five thousand meters?" Xu Jing stared into her eyes. "So many people in the whole school are running five thousand meters, did you escort each and every one of them?"

"How could that be? I wouldn't be that generous." Lin Wu found him a bit strange and frowned as she said, "I'm giving it to you because we're friends, of course."

friend……

Let's just be friends.

A friend is always better than an enemy.

Xu Jingwang let out a breath, "Okay, thank you, my friend."

Lin Wu: "..."

Why does that sound a bit sarcastic?

Xu Jingwang casually placed his schoolbag on the desk, unzipped it, and pulled out a set of chemistry problems he had compiled and printed. He handed it to Lin Wu, saying, "A return gift."

“…………”

Lin Wu's eyelids twitched. "You're clearly repaying kindness with enmity."

She took the chemistry problem in her hand, filled with grief and indignation, and turned away.

No. 1 Middle School.

When Fang Cong entered the classroom through the back door carrying two steamed buns and humming a tune, he froze on the spot.

At this time of day, Lin Si was either playing on his phone or sleeping on the table.

I've done all sorts of things, but I've never studied.

This time, he actually sat upright at the table, looking down at his Chinese textbook. Although he looked confused, he was really flipping through the book.

Fang Cong raised his other hand and frantically rubbed his eyes, then patted his cheeks.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Si was still sitting at the table.

Fang Cong seriously doubted that he was dreaming.

So he pinched his thigh hard, felt a sharp pain, and shakily lowered his hand, then walked to the seat next to Lin Si and sat down.

A flurry of warm greetings followed: "Brother Si, did you sleep well last night?"

Lin Si nodded: "It's alright."

Although a younger brother suddenly appeared, and it was the kind of relationship where there had been minor conflicts before.

But thinking about it carefully, it's kind of fun to have a younger brother who gets bullied by him.

Fang Cong opened the plastic bag, took a bite of the steamed bun, and glanced at his bare textbook: "So, how are you feeling today?"

"That's good." Lin Si turned a page of his textbook.

He finally realized something was wrong, and squinted at Fang Cong: "You're the one acting a little strange today."

Fang Cong took another bite of his steamed bun and muttered, "Why did you suddenly start reading today? I'm not used to it."

"I need to study hard." Lin Si closed his textbook.

Fang Cong looked shocked: "What? Is the school bully from No. 1 High School going to retire?"

Lin Si stroked his chin. "It's like this, my sister has started studying, and I can't let her fall behind."

Fang Cong: "..."

Jiaoyue Bay.

Lin Chuanqiong went to work, and Jiang Fanxing was worried that Zou Xun would feel uncomfortable eating with her by her side, so she read a book in the living room.

Zou Xun was the only person in the huge restaurant.

He ate his breakfast slowly and naturally.

Last night, Lin Wu told Zou Xun that Li Ma's cooking was excellent, and today Zou Xun finally understood just how good it was.

Even a simple bowl of vegetable porridge smells amazing, not to mention the handmade xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

After he finished eating, he habitually cleared away the dishes and plates. Just as he left the dining room and was about to take the food to the kitchen, Li Ma came in from outside carrying a box of cakes.

Seeing this, he quickly put down what he was holding and snatched the things from Zou Xun's hands, saying, "Young Master, just put them on the table after you finish eating. I'll take care of it."

Zou Xun paused for a moment, then withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly and hummed in response.

As Li Ma walked towards the kitchen, she pointed to the small cakes on the coffee table and said, "They were delivered by takeout; Miss must have bought them for you."

Zou Xun was stunned.

Jiang Fanxing closed the book with a gentle smile on her face. "Eat up. Your sister has loved buying cakes from this shop since she was little. Every time she makes a new friend, she gives them a cake to eat."

Lin Wu has always been a very generous child. She values ​​her friends and gives them gifts every now and then, with small cakes being her top choice.

Your sister...

This was the first time Zou Xun had heard such a title. He hesitated for a few seconds before picking up the cake and looking at it.

Very delicate strawberry mini cakes.

It's the kind of expensive little cake he'd pass by many times but would never stop at.

Given his previous financial situation, he could only afford to eat cake on his birthday, and even then, it was the most economical kind of cream cake, costing less than a hundred yuan.

Zou Xun choked up for a moment, then said, "Okay."

He sat on the single sofa next to him, unwrapped the small cake, and scooped out a bite with the included spoon and put it in his mouth.

The cream wasn't greasy at all; instead, it had a sweet and sour flavor.

Jiang Fanxing put down her book, tidied up some stray hairs for him, and when her fingertips accidentally touched Zou Xun's forehead, she felt only warmth. "Is it good?"

Zou Xun nodded: "It's delicious."

-

"It's beyond just delicious, it's absolutely delicious!"

Shen Minglu gave a thumbs up, with a little cream still on her lips.

"Hehe." Lin Wu patted her shoulder. "Then you keep eating. I'm going to the assembly point first. The 5,000-meter race is about to start."

"it is good."

Shen Minglu nodded vigorously.

Double ponytails are such an energetic hairstyle; when she nods, both braids sway together.

The referees gathered for a five-minute meeting.

When Lin Wu received her athlete number, which required her to be counted for the entire course, she went to the referee's table.

It didn't rain today, and the sun was shining brightly.

A group of competitors stood on the red track.

She spotted Xu Jingwang at a glance.

There's no other reason; he's just too strikingly handsome.

Among these people were those taller than him, those stronger than him, and those wearing short sleeves, shorts, and headbands to absorb sweat.

Xu Jingwang was wearing long sleeves and trousers, with the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing bare wrists. He wasn't wearing anything, and his pale skin stood out in the crowd.

Like a green bamboo, standing calmly and upright beside the clear stream.
