Desk mate, your persona has crumbled.

In late August, the summer heat was intense.

Even though the sun had already set, the air was still thick with heat.

The good news is that the classes that started early have finally ended.

But Xu Mo was different; he only attended for a week.

Over the first weekend, a typhoon swept through the county-level city of Yuedu.

Xu Mo had intended to catch a cold under the cover of wind and rain, but things didn't go as planned. He didn't manage the situation well and ended up getting too cold.

I had a fever for a week, and it only subsided yesterday. I felt weak and listless, as if all my strength had been drained away.

Fortunately, his brain wasn't damaged.

Unfortunately, it seems like my brain is burning up a bit too much?

(I am bored.)

A clear idea suddenly popped into Xu Mo's mind.

Xu Mo turned to look at the husky lying on the ground and tilted his head.

"Xu Fugui'er?"

Upon hearing the summons, Xu Fugui's droopy ears perked up instantly.

It raised its head, its eyes immediately sparkling as it looked at Xu Mo, and its big tail began to slap the floor with a "pat pat pat".

(Going out to play.)

This time, the emotion was even stronger, with a clear sense of eager excitement.

"Do you want to play?"

Xu Mo made a gesture, which Xu Fugui'er roughly interpreted as meaning to go out and play.

(Let's go out and have fun!)

Fugui stood up excitedly, his front paws pawing restlessly at the floor, his face full of anticipation.

"Woof!"

Xu Mo fell silent. He reached for the thermometer gun by the bed and fired it into his ear.

36.9℃, no fever.

Okay, confirmed.

It seems he has unlocked some kind of strange skill.

He could hear Xu Fugui's inner thoughts.

Or, to be more precise, he can directly sense the emotions of this silly dog.

Xu Mo scratched his head. What kind of situation is this?

(Go out and have fun! Go out and have fun! Go out and have fun!)

Seeing that he didn't move, Fugui'er anxiously spun around in place, her emotions filled with longing for the world outside the door.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right now!"

Xu Mo was annoyed by its restless thoughts and got out of bed.

As soon as the door opened, Xu Fugui rushed to the entrance and looked at Xu Mo with excitement.

Xu Mo took out a leash from the entryway cabinet, put it on Fugui'er, said goodbye to his family, and went out to walk the dog.

Xu Mo's home is on the seventh floor of the apartment building.

He usually goes downstairs by taking the stairs.

In a 21-story building, I was unlucky; the elevator couldn't keep up with my legs.

Summer nights are still hot.

As soon as Xu Mo stepped out of the apartment building, he felt a layer of sweat on his head.

(Play!)

Just as Xu Fugui's emotions entered his mind, Xu Mo felt a strong force coming from his hand.

"You son of a bitch!"

The boy suddenly tensed his arms and pulled Fu Gui'er, who had just darted away, back to his original position.

The silly dog ​​turned to look at Xu Mo in an incredibly idiotic manner, its eyes filled with impatience.

Xu Mo didn't tolerate it and grabbed Fugui'er's head.

"Don't rush me! Just stay put and follow along. If you wander off, you're going back!"

(I need to poop!)

Xu Mo looked into the silly dog's eyes and closed them helplessly.

This is so stupid.

He could hear the dog's emotions, but the dog couldn't understand what he was saying!

"Never mind, I'm going to take a dump."

Xu Mo held onto the leash, letting Xu Fugui run wild in the community's green belt.

The air of a summer night is like a thick towel soaked in hot water, clinging heavily to the skin.

Xu Mo had only walked a few steps in the neighborhood when a dark sweat stain appeared on the back of his T-shirt.

Beside Xu Mo, the energetic husky sniffed the ground with its nose close to its body, its tail wagging wildly.

Xu Fugui looked for a place to defecate.

The silly dog ​​suddenly looked towards the bushes to the side.

(This is it!)

A sense of sacred mission, a desire to mark something, rushed into Xu Mo's mind.

Before Xu Mo could even complain about how seriously the silly dog ​​was taking its poop spot, Fugui'er had already skillfully darted into the shadows of the roadside bushes.

After digging a couple of times in the dirt, the silly dog ​​quickly squatted down and entered a state of focused concentration.

After Xu Fugui finished defecating, Xu Mo took out the garbage bag and shovel he always carried with him.

He bent down, held his breath, and began to fulfill his duties as a cat owner.

Just as Xu Mo was putting the feces into the bag, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking unhurriedly from the other end of the road in the community.

Xu Mo paused for a moment, then straightened up and looked over.

The girl's figure appeared particularly aloof and distant under the dim glow of the streetlights in the residential area.

She wore a simple dress, the style of which accentuated her slender and upright figure.

Her long, soft hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, without even the slightest sway as she walked steadily.

The girl was carrying several express delivery bags, clearly having just returned from picking up her packages.

Xu Mo watched her slowly approach.

Song Shuyan.

This is the girl who went to the same school as him from kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high, and now they've all been admitted to the same high school.

From childhood to adulthood, the label of aloofness has never been removed from her.

In elementary school, while other children were chasing and playing, she was already a special person who quietly sat in the corner reading and kept to herself.

Even if some mischievous kids try to get her attention, they usually back down after being glared at by Song Shuyan.

Although Song Shuyan behaved eccentrically, no teacher said anything to her.

After all, she was an excellent student.

During junior high school, the girl's coldness grew stronger day by day.

But precisely because of this, it has become an unattainable iceberg in the hearts of countless young people.

However, even the most confident guys would feel inferior in front of her, and would think it would be a luxury to even get her to say a few words.

Now in high school, Xu Mo and Song Shuyan are still in the same school and even in the same class.

On the first day of school starting early, her aloof demeanor instantly made her the focus of attention and the center of private discussion among the boys in the class.

Xu Mo was no exception.

Who wouldn't want to take a second look at such a beautiful and pleasing girl?

Moreover, Xu Mo has a natural advantage over others.

That meant he and Song Shuyan lived in the same neighborhood.

It could be said that he watched Song Shuyan grow up, but whether Song Shuyan watched him grow up is another matter entirely.

As Song Shuyan drew closer, his expressionless, aloof face gradually became clearer in Xu Mo's vision.

She seemed completely oblivious to Xu Mo standing by the bushes by the roadside, her gaze still fixed straight ahead, as if she were walking on an empty road.

He had an aura that made him seem unapproachable.

However, just as she was about to reach Xu Mo's side, an extremely strong emotional surge crashed into Xu Mo's mind.

(Extremely nervous.)

The emotion came so suddenly that Xu Mo instinctively widened his eyes.

The boy's gaze fell on Song Shuyan's even more aloof profile.

She seemed completely unrelated to the word "nervous".
