Desk mate, your persona has crumbled.

Stepping out of the teaching building, the tree-lined path leading to the playground is dappled with light and shadow by the sunlight.

Scattered light spots fell on the bluish-gray road surface.

Xu Mo walked ahead, his figure appearing casual amidst the alternation of light and shadow.

Song Shuyan lagged behind him by a step, maintaining a just-right distance, following closely behind.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the trees along the roadside.

Spots of light danced on the girl's dark hair and long eyelashes.

However, not far behind them, the thugs led by Cheng Yuanhao and Jin Kai were trying to maintain a semblance of naturalness.

They moved in small groups, walking very slowly. Some pretended to be discussing last night's game enthusiastically, some looked up at the sky and talked about the clouds, and others simply kept quiet.

But everyone's attention kept glancing at the two figures standing one in front of the other.

A silent curiosity and restlessness filled the air.

Just then, Xu Mo, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around without warning!

The group of badgers behind him instantly erupted in chaos.

With lightning speed, Cheng Yuanhao turned his head towards the sky, muttering something under his breath:

"Ah! These clouds today...they're so white!"

Others followed suit, some looking up at the sky, some looking down at the ground, and some pretending to chat enthusiastically with their companions.

The once quiet tree-lined path was suddenly filled with deliberately amplified discussions and awkward coughs.

The movements were swift, the posture stiff, and the expressions exaggerated—it's like trying to hide something obvious.

Xu Mo looked at the group of classmates, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"A bunch of boarding school kids."

At the end of the tree-lined path, a spacious playground comes into view.

The synthetic track gleamed in the sunlight, making the green grass on the field appear exceptionally vibrant.

Xu Mo quickly found the area where the students from Class 17 were staying and then walked over there.

Since he didn't know many people, Xu Mo found a place a little further away to stand and wait for class to start.

Song Shuyan stood quietly beside Xu Mo, also waiting for class to begin.

The swarm of badgers following behind the two quickly surged into the crowd of Class 17.

Soon, as their instincts kicked in, humans turned into badger-like creatures.

The group of stags kept glancing at Xu Mo and Song Shuyan.

"I feel there's something wrong between them."

"But Song Shuyan completely ignored him; she just followed along..."

"But speaking of which, didn't you guys notice? Xu Mo and Song Shuyan standing together like that..."

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

As everyone watched the two tall figures, a weak voice suddenly rang out.

"They're actually quite pleasing to the eye."

These words instantly sparked whispers:

"Holy crap! Now that you mention it, it's true!"

"It's like a scene straight out of a comic book."

"Iceberg paired with school bully—wait, will Xu Mo be considered a school bully?"

"I think Song Shuyan is a bit like a school bully."

"You're focusing on the wrong thing! But it's true... it's very pleasing to the eye."

Cheng Yuanhao listened to the discussion, crossed his arms, and nodded calmly.

These two are more than just good-looking; they're definitely dating!

Just as everyone was talking, Xu Mo noticed a tall figure with a ponytail slowly walking over from the edge of the playground.

Beside this figure was Shen Mengyao, the class monitor of Class 17, who was talking to her.

Judging from the looks of it, this must be the PE teacher from Class 17.

Xu Mo blinked as he watched the PE teacher's figure disappear.

The boy's previously casual posture began to straighten.

As the PE teacher drew closer, Xu Mo's bad premonition grew stronger.

Wait, why does this guy look so familiar?

When Xu Mo finally saw what the PE teacher looked like, his bad premonition was completely confirmed.

In fact, Xu Mo's health was not good when he was a child.

There's a reason why he's in such good physical condition and is in such great health now.

It can only be said that we were destined to be together.

Because Ms. Fang Yi has a younger aunt, who is Xu Mo's great-aunt, and is a physical education teacher.

Coincidentally, the school where my aunt taught was the same elementary school that Xu Mo attended.

My great-aunt was the coach of the school's basketball team, and Xu Mo, who was weak as a child, was naturally thrown into the basketball team by her.

Xu Mo wasn't very interested in playing basketball, and his aunt understood his interests, so she let him go for a run.

He's been running like this for six years!

I finally got rid of my great-aunt and started junior high school.

Then one day during PE class, Xu Mo saw a familiar figure in the PE group.

His mother's aunt, his great-aunt.

Then Xu Mo received some bad news: the head of the junior high school physical education group was his aunt's student!

My aunt told the head of the sports group that her grandson had been weak since childhood and needed to exercise more.

Then Xu Mo was trained for another three years.

Now that he's in high school, Xu Mo can only lament, "Why are you all so young?"

Then, he couldn't stay focused on sports during his three years of high school.

Zhou Yun is the daughter of Xu Mo's great-aunt, Xu Mo's aunt, and the physical education teacher of Class 17.

In fact, Zhou Yun was already happy when he saw the list of Class 17.

She knew Xu Mo had been admitted to Yuedu No. 1 High School, but she never expected that this kid would actually end up in her hands.

Zhou Yun stood in front of Class 17, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Has your class sports representative been chosen yet?"

"Not yet!" the class monitor answered honestly.

Hearing this answer, Zhou Yun nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "Is there anyone willing to be the sports committee member?"

Although Zhou Yun asked this question, her gaze had already fallen on Xu Mo.

You'd better step forward yourself.

Xu Mo shook his head, pretending not to see.

Seeing the boy's attitude, Zhou Yun didn't say anything more.

"Xu Mo! You should be the sports committee member!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Mo.

Something's not right. How did Xu Mo and the PE teacher meet?

Even Song Shuyan looked on with curiosity.

Xu Mo was truly at a loss for what to do, and rolled his eyes at Zhou Yun.

His sports career was completely orchestrated!

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone in Class 17, Xu Mo strode over to Zhou Yun's side.

"So I'm now the sports committee member?"

Zhou Yun crossed his arms and nodded: "Yes."

The next second, Xu Mo suddenly turned around to face the whole class and raised his right hand in front of everyone's eyes:

"The sports committee announces: Free time during PE class!"

"Holy crap! That's awesome!"

"Long live Brother Xu!"

The entire Class 17 erupted in cheers.

"Xu! Mo!"

One minute later.

The Class 17 students lined up in four rows from tallest to shortest.

Song Shuyan, the tallest girl among them, stood at the very front as arranged by Xu Mo.

As for Xu Mo...

Under the basketball hoop in front of Class 17, a boy stood with his back to the class, looking rather nonchalant.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in Class 17, Xu Mo quietly turned his head away.

The boy looked at Zhou Yun, who was in class, and then turned his gaze to Song Shuyan, who was standing upright.

The girl's gaze was naturally drawn to him.

Just then, Zhou Yun's voice rang in my ears.

"Xu Mo, if you're bored, go run three laps."
