Desk mate, your persona has crumbled.

Cheng Yuanhao did not feel any joy on his way to school today.

Instead, I felt quite uneasy.

After all, Song Shuyan personally issued an order yesterday to send Xu Mo to attack him!

It's because he didn't greet us in the morning.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Cheng Yuanhao arrived at the door of Class 17.

The boy stood behind the classroom door and then poked half his head out.

Song Shuyan was already there, sitting in his seat preparing for morning self-study.

Xu Mo, who was standing to the side, happened to look up.

The two locked eyes, startling Xu Mo.

That peeking and probing way you're doing, are you trying to imitate Old Tang?

Upon seeing Xu Mo, Cheng Yuanhao quickly gestured for silence.

Xu Mo was puzzled, but then he saw the boy at the door take a deep breath and then walk past the front door.

Cheng Yuanhao's head floated on the glass window, all the way to the back door of the classroom.

In fact, Jin Kai also discovered Cheng Yuanhao when Xu Mo discovered him.

Even many students noticed it.

After all, with such a big head floating on the window, how could anyone not see it!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Cheng Yuanhao floated to the back door and stepped inside.

He then went straight to Xu Mo's table.

Cheng Yuanhao stopped.

(Super nervous!)

The tension this time came from Cheng Yuanhao.

Before Xu Mo could even greet him, Cheng Yuanhao spoke to Song Shuyan.

"Good morning, Your Majesty!"

Perhaps due to excitement, Cheng Yuanhao's voice cracked slightly.

Song Shuyan was startled.

(Super nervous!)

The girl stood there dumbfounded, completely forgetting Xu Mo's instructions from yesterday.

Cheng Yuanhao also clearly realized that he had called the wrong name, and stood there dumbfounded.

He wants to die now.

Just then, a cough rang out.

"cough!"

Xu Mo slowly stood up and made a delicate gesture with his fingers.

"The Emperor is not attending court today, get out!"

"Okay!"

Cheng Yuanhao felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly slipped back to his seat.

After a brief silence, the classroom erupted in suppressed laughter.

Even some of the usually serious classmates couldn't help but laugh at this moment.

The classroom was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Song Shuyan was surrounded by the sudden laughter.

Her social anxiety instincts made her want to hide herself, and her expression unconsciously tensed up.

But soon she realized that the laughter wasn't directed at her, but at Xu Mo and Cheng Yuanhao.

The girl involuntarily turned to the person who had started it all.

Xu Mo was looking at her with a smile on his face.

Looking at Xu Mo's bright smile, Song Shuyan suddenly felt a smile well up in her heart.

The girl's lips curved slightly, and a faint smile spread across her face.

It was at this moment that Song Shuyan remembered what her father had said yesterday.

Would it be helpful for you to go to and from school with Xu Mo?

Song Shuyan had his own answer.

Will do.

But what about Xu Mo?

Will Xu Mo agree?

The answer is that Xu Mo has no choice but to agree, whether he likes it or not.

Because Yang Muyun approached Ms. Fang Yi.

Xu Mo had just handed the fried noodles to his mother when he heard a question that made his head buzz.

"Xu Mo, would you like to go to and from school with Song Shuyan?"

"What the hell?"

Xu Mo was so surprised that he even forgot to eat his favorite fried noodles.

"Mom, I'm only 16, just started high school, I'm not an adult yet."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yi immediately rolled her eyes at Xu Mo.

"Get out of here! What are you saying? What are you thinking?"

"Isn't that right?"

Xu Mo opened his eyes wide and looked at his mother: "I admit Song Shuyan is very good-looking, but Mom, you can't rush me! I'm a student now, and my studies should be my priority!"

Ms. Fang Yi raised her hand to interrupt Xu Mo's subsequent spellcasting.

"What are you thinking, kid? It's Song Shuyan's mom who came to see me! She told me that her Song Shuyan is socially awkward, and hey, she's dating our Xu Mo."

"You said Song Shuyan was afraid to visit relatives during the New Year and didn't want to go out. But look at him, he actually agreed to come to our house with Xu Mo to do his homework!"

"Song Shuyan's mother thought that since Song Shuyan and Xu Mo are so good friends, then let Xu Mo help Song Shuyan walk to and from school together to build up her courage."

With each word Fang Yi spoke, Xu Mo couldn't help but smile.

Finally, Fang Yi looked at Xu Mo, whose lips had turned into Nike logos, and changed the subject.

"Alas, what a pity, you disagree!"

"Eh!"

Xu Mo immediately raised his hand to interrupt Ms. Fang Yi.

"Look at what you're saying! How could I possibly refuse? Helping others is a traditional virtue, especially since Song Shuyan is my deskmate!"

The boy's eyes lit up: "Leave it to me! I guarantee I'll help her completely overcome her social anxiety!"

Hearing this, Old Xu looked up, raising an eyebrow playfully: "Oh? Who was it just now who was shouting that studying was the priority?"

Xu Mo's ears turned red, and she picked up her chopsticks: "Can doing something so casually be considered neglecting your studies? This is called balancing studies and life!"

After saying that, Xu Mo smoothly moved closer to his mother.

"Mom, when do you think would be a good time to start?"

After saying that, Xu Mo even blinked.

Fang Yi laughed when she saw Xu Mo's expression.

"Mom will ask around for you, okay?"

Xu Mo nodded repeatedly, "Mom, don't worry, I'll be absolutely fine!"

"I understand! But you also need to be careful about one thing."

"Please speak!"

Fang Yi held her phone and looked intently at Xu Mo.

"Song Shuyan trusts you, and his parents trust you too. You absolutely cannot cause any trouble for me!"

Xu Mo patted his chest and said, "My aunt is at school. If you're worried, you can have her keep an eye on me!"

Fang Yi looked at her son's expectant yet serious expression and couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

"Alright, alright, stop being so cheeky. I'll go ask your Aunt Yang right now and see what she's thinking."

As Fang Yi spoke, she picked up her phone, which was placed aside, and got up to walk towards the bedroom.

"You two eat first."

"Okay, Mom! Please ask away!"

Xu Mo watched his mother's figure disappear behind the bedroom door.

The boy picked up a large mouthful of fried noodles and stuffed it into his mouth.

But at this moment, his mind had completely wandered away.

On the other side of the residential area.

There was a knock on Song Shuyan's door.

"Yan Yan, are you asleep?"

"no."

Shortly after, Song Shuyan opened the door and saw her mother standing outside.

Yang Muyun didn't go into the room, but stood at the door: "Mom wants to ask you, starting tomorrow, do you want to go to school with Xu Mo?"

Song Shuyan was taken aback, seemingly not immediately understanding what her mother was saying.

Yang Muyun looked at her daughter:

"Starting in the morning, you and Xu Mo will walk to school together. Xu Mo's mother has already spoken to her, and Xu Mo has agreed."

"If you're willing to give it a try, wait at the entrance of the building downstairs at 6 a.m. tomorrow. Xu Mo will come to pick you up, and then the two of you will walk to school together."

Upon hearing this, Song Shuyan's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

But Song Shuyan still had a slight hesitation in his heart.

"Where's Dad?"

"Silly child, of course your dad agreed to this! Although he's a little reluctant to part with his precious daughter, he hopes you can get more exercise."

Hearing that her father agreed, Song Shuyan's slight anxiety instantly disappeared.

A slight blush rose to the girl's fair cheeks:

"Okay, I understand."

Looking at her daughter's expression, Yang Muyun's smile deepened.

"Okay, it's settled then. Don't be too nervous tomorrow morning, just act like usual. Go to sleep, goodnight."

Goodnight, Mom.

Song Shuyan responded softly.

Yang Muyun closed the door gently as she left.

Inside the room, Song Shuyan stood blankly at the door, feeling her heart still beating a little fast.
