Desk mate, your persona has crumbled.

The first period in the afternoon was Chinese, and the teacher was Zhuang Zhixi. It is said that some boys call her "Zhuang Ma" behind her back.

Because Zhuang's mother's outfits are too maternal.

Today, Aunt Zhuang wore a short-sleeved shirt, a high-waisted A-line skirt, and flat shoes that exposed the instep.

Her long hair was tied up in a low bun, with two slightly curled strands of hair left at her temples, and she wore frameless glasses.

It kills the game outright.

But in fact, Zhuang's mother is only 28 years old this year.

But she's already a mother.

By the way, Lao Tang's nickname is Master.

One reason is that Lao Tang's surname is Tang, and another reason is that Lao Tang is bald and is also the homeroom teacher.

Standing on the podium, Zhuang Zhixi habitually scanned the entire class.

His gaze paused slightly as it swept over the back row of the classroom, finally settling on Xu Mo, who was standing next to Song Shuyan.

"Oh? Is this a new student?"

She had clearly noticed that the spot, which had been empty for a week, now had an owner.

Xu Mo's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the teacher to hear: "Teacher, I took a week of sick leave and just came back to class today."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhixi's face showed a knowing expression: "It's good that you've recovered. Welcome back."

She didn't press for details, then placed the book on the podium and smiled as she looked around the class.

"Okay, let's begin the lesson."

A notable characteristic of Zhuang Ma's classes is that she rarely looks down during class.

This is probably related to Zhuang Ma's personal charm.

Anyway, guys love listening to it, and girls love listening to it too.

After all, Zhuang Ma's classes are quite interesting.

With Zhuang Ma's class as the first class in the afternoon, the drowsiness that usually occurs at this time of day was much less.

Once classes start, time flies by.

The teachers in the top classes at No. 1 Middle School are all quite good, and they are always able to guide students to keep up with the pace of the lessons.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that No. 1 Middle School has a good student body.

Let flowers be flowers, let trees be trees, and let the soil rot in the ground.

There are many flowers and trees at No. 1 Middle School, and students are very self-disciplined in their studies.

The last period in the afternoon is self-study.

The atmosphere in the classroom was much more relaxed than during class, and it was relatively quiet overall.

Old Tang came and strolled around for a bit before leaving, clearly very confident in the discipline of Class 17.

As for why Lao Tang was so confident, it was probably thanks to Song Shuyan.

The beautiful girl sat there, and everyone around her was very quiet.

"The main reason is that we're afraid of disturbing Song Shuyan. If she gets killed, we're doomed."

On the way to the cafeteria, Cheng Yuanhao explained to Xu Mo in a serious tone.

The boy beside him covered his forehead and let out a weak question:

Is there any necessary causal relationship between these two sentences?

Seriously, this class is way too anime-like.

Can you be realistic?!

Xu Mo looked up at Song Shuyan sitting opposite him, wanting to ask for confirmation, but then decided against it.

Given Song Shuyan's personality, he was already stunned when he heard this question.

Cheng Yuanhao and Jin Kai followed beside Xu Mo, secretly glancing at Song Shuyan as they walked.

Actually, the two of them still found it hard to believe that Song Shuyan was a socially anxious person.

The noise from the cafeteria surged in like a tide, and the four of them were once again at the back of the line.

Xu Mo skillfully broke away from the line and squeezed to the window. After quickly scanning the dishes, he returned and spread out the menu in front of Song Shuyan.

"Same old rule, point and shoot."

Song Shuyan's gaze lingered on Xu Mo's fingertips.

The girl's index finger hovered for a moment before finally landing on his left ring finger.

In the next line, Cheng Yuanhao grabbed Jin Kai's arm, and the two heads were almost touching.

"See that?! They're touching their hands again! Is this what social anxiety is like? I'd rather believe they're dating!"

That makes sense.

The line moved forward slowly.

Song Shuyan's gaze fell on Xu Mo's broad back, the girl's fingertips tightly gripping the small meal card in her pocket.

(nervous.)

The girl's heart pounded in her chest, each beat a blow against the high wall of social anxiety.

Inviting Xu Mo to dinner was the first time in her life that she had taken such a big step.

Now, fulfilling the promise and treating him to a meal with this meal card is the second hurdle to overcome.

Song Shuyan clutched her meal card, the encouraging words on the sticky notes flashing through her mind.

"Go for it, Song Shuyan! You can do it!"

"It's just handing over my meal card."

She said to herself, "Like handing over a sticky note, yes, handing over a sticky note."

The girl's fingertips curled and relaxed in her pocket, repeatedly rubbing her meal card.

Finally, she took a deep breath and raised her hand.

The meal card was tightly gripped between the thumb and forefinger.

Song Shuyan's actions carried a cautious probing tone; her slender index finger carefully poked Xu Mo's back.

In that instant, it felt as if an electric current had surged through her fingertips, and an immense sense of tension almost overwhelmed her.

(Super nervous!)

A strong sense of tension overwhelmed Xu Mo's senses.

Xu Mo turned around and his gaze fell on Song Shuyan's face.

The girl hadn't withdrawn her hand from poking him, while her other hand was tightly gripping a meal card.

Xu Mo looked into Song Shuyan's eyes, as if he could read her mind.

"It's a deal, it's on me."

For some reason, Xu Mo suddenly felt a sense of relief.

This is yet another small but significant attempt by Song Shuyan to combat social anxiety.

Although it was only the first day, and if it were someone else, Song Shuyan definitely wouldn't have acted this way.

Thanks!

Xu Mo's voice was tinged with laughter as he reached out and gently took the meal card from Song Shuyan.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Same as always." Xu Mo waved his meal card, his tone relaxed and natural.

"Let me get you your food first."

As Song Shuyan watched Xu Mo take the meal card, her wildly beating heart slowly calmed down.

(What a relief!)

Xu Mo accepted it...

The girl lowered her hand and quietly took a breath.

At the same time, a small voice rang in Song Shuyan's mind.

"Song Shuyan! Keep it up!"

"We definitely can! We can definitely overcome this!"

She secretly glanced up and saw that Xu Mo had already turned to the food serving window, and his tense shoulders slowly relaxed.

Meanwhile, in the next line, two badgers' eyes were practically glued to the two of them.

Cheng Yuanhao elbowed Jin Kai.

"Did you see that?! Did you see that?! Song Shuyan handed Lao Mo her meal card! She even poked him!"

Jin Kai nodded subconsciously.

Cheng Yuanhao clicked his tongue, his eyes scanning back and forth between Song Shuyan and Xu Mo, before finally drawing a decisive conclusion:

"This atmosphere, ugh! I'm getting goosebumps! And they still say it's not a romantic relationship! Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Kai felt as if he had been enlightened!

"Holy crap! Hao, have you noticed something terrifying?"

"What is it?" Cheng Yuanhao asked.

"Xu Mo has never denied that he is dating Song Shuyan!"

Cheng Yuanhao's eyes widened suddenly.
