Desk mate, your persona has crumbled.

"No, why are you looking at me?"

From the moment morning self-study ended, Xu Mo received a series of eye greetings from several class representatives.

Xu Mo was so flustered that he thought he had done something heinous.

Is there still a problem with Song Shuyan proactively handing you your homework?

(happy!)

A feeling of joy welled up in the girl's heart, and Xu Mo subconsciously looked over.

"Song Shuyan, you did it!"

"Ugh... I'm nervous! But it's not that difficult!"

"Xu Mo is right! Things that don't require communication can be done directly!"

"happy!"

"I can hand in my homework by myself from now on!"

The girl remained seated, her profile cool and aloof, her gaze fixed intently on the open book.

Outwardly, she was no different from the aloof Song Shuyan she always was.

However, in Xu Mo's eyes, Song Shuyan at this moment seemed to be enveloped by an invisible warm sun.

The girl's joy was so pure and full.

So intensely, Xu Mo even felt that Song Shuyan was smiling at that moment.

Although her lips remained perfectly pressed together, without the slightest curve.

Just then, Song Shuyan, who was immersed in joy, suddenly had a thought.

"Oh! Right! I should thank Xu Mo!"

This thought prompted her to raise her gaze.

As soon as Song Shuyan raised her gaze, she was caught off guard and met a pair of smiling eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

Song Shuyan's heart skipped a beat and then began to pound wildly like a startled herd of deer!

He tilted his head to the side, his gaze calm and focused on her, as if he had been watching her like that for quite a while.

There was no probing in those eyes, only a quiet stillness.

Xu Mo seemed surprised that she would suddenly turn her head, and paused for a moment.

Then, he remained there more calmly, simply looking at the pretty face in front of him.

It has to be said that looking at beautiful women is a great way to keep your mood cheerful every day.

Although Song Shuyan usually has a cold expression on her face, she is undeniably beautiful!

Why are the people in Class 17 so tolerant of Song Shuyan?

Because she's pretty!

That's just how the world is sometimes.

You'll find yourself unconsciously siding with the person who is more attractive.

Therefore, people's sense of justice is sometimes quite simple.

Just then, Song Shuyan, who was looking at Xu Mo, suddenly looked away.

This action instantly drew gasps of surprise from the group of badger-like creatures in the class.

"Holy crap?!"

"Song Shuyan looked away first?!"

"Song Shuyan actually changed the subject?!"

This silent scene was like a thunderclap in the eyes of the swarm of badgers!

The air in Class 17 seemed to freeze for a moment before being engulfed by a surge of conversation.

This is unprecedented!

"Song Shuyan actually lost in the eye contact?"

"Has someone finally appeared who can defeat Song Shuyan?"

"What exactly is Xu Mo's anatomy?!"

A boy nudged his deskmate with his elbow and asked the probing question:

"Hey! Did you see that? Just now...didn't Song Shuyan seem a little...shy?"

Upon hearing this, his deskmate immediately gasped, his eyes gleaming with the light of someone discovering a new continent:

"Hiss—now that you mention it…it does seem a bit like it! Has the iceberg melted?"

This faint guess instantly stirred up a wider ripple among the herd of badgers.

"Shy? That can't be!"

"But she was the one who dodged first!"

"It shouldn't be melting, right? I feel like Song Shuyan doesn't want to talk to Xu Mo anymore."

However, this theory of shyness was ruthlessly suppressed by a voice as soon as it emerged.

Xia Tian, ​​the class representative for Chinese, paused, a cold smile spreading across her face.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Xia Tian refuted this firmly.

"I just came down from the front lines! I even made eye contact with Song Shuyan, and I felt like my soul was frozen!"

"Xu Mo can withstand it because he's thick-skinned, but Song Shuyan being shy? Don't even think about it!"

After Xia Tian finished speaking, she took her homework and left.

"The class representative makes a good point."

"Those who have just suffered frostbite still have the right to speak."

"So... it's still because Xu Mo is shameless?"

Thinking of this, everyone silently gave Xu Mo a thumbs up in their hearts.

Xu Mo is truly a divine being!

This melon patch is getting more and more surreal.

The fans felt that their worldview was being refreshed by Xu Mo and Song Shuyan every day.

Just as the charlatans were secretly marveling at each other, Xu Mo noticed that Song Shuyan pushed a sticky note to the corner of their table. On it were two lines of neat handwriting:

【Thanks.】

It doesn't seem that difficult after all.

Xu Mo scanned the handwriting and sensed the joy swirling between the lines.

The boy picked up his pen:

【That's good!】

But you're welcome.

Ultimately, the choice of courage is yours, Song Shuyan.

Song Shuyan's gaze was fixed on the piece of paper.

Xu Mo's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Did I choose courage myself?

but……

If Xu Mo hadn't told me I could do this, if he hadn't sat beside me making me feel safe...

I probably will never dare to try...

Courage may have been Song Shuyan's own choice, but the seed of that choice was planted by Xu Mo.

Song Shuyan took a breath, as if she were about to embark on another small adventure.

The girl picked up a pen and wrote a line on a sticky note.

The sticky note was gently pushed to the corner of Xu Mo's table.

Xu Mo's gaze fell upon it.

Xu Mo, you gave me courage.

A sudden thud sounded in the boy's chest, as if something had gently bumped into him.

A feeling of panic welled up inside me instantly.

(shy.)

Xu Mo clearly noticed the change in his emotions.

What the hell!

I think I've been flirted with.

The moment the thought crossed Xu Mo's mind, he felt his ears getting hot.

It was just a simple sentence, not even spoken aloud, yet it made his heart race.

The boy clenched his fist tightly against his lips, feigning a cough to cover his panic:

"Hey! It's nothing! It's time for class! Get ready."

Xu Mo's voice was half an octave higher than usual, and the end of his voice had an unnatural, ethereal quality.

Song Shuyan did not notice anything unusual about Xu Mo. After putting away the sticky note, she began to prepare for class.

"Ring ring—!"

The school bell rang.

Old Tang arrived very quickly.

Zhongdeng placed the textbook on the podium and glanced at his garden.

His gaze unconsciously fell on the corner of the classroom.

A machine gunner, and an ice mushroom.

Old Tang coughed lightly, withdrawing his gaze.

"Attend class!"

"stand up!"

The sound of chairs clattering and rattling filled the air.

"Hello, teacher!"

A clattering sound rang out.

"sit down!"

Old Tang waved his hand and looked towards the garden.

"You seem really listless! Did you secretly study last night?"

Seeing the smiles on the faces of the students below the stage, Old Tang pointed.

"Cheng Yuanhao, I have a question for you."

Without any change in direction, Old Tang kicked away the morning's drowsiness with a single kick.
