Desk mate, your persona has crumbled.

Chapter 58

On his way back to school, Cheng Yuanhao made a special trip to the nearby supermarket to buy a 2-liter bottle of Coke.

"Let's get the four of us in one big bottle! We'll share it when we get back to the classroom!"

"Fried skewers and cola, that's the ultimate happiness!"

Song Shuyan's gaze fell on the huge Coca-Cola bottle.

A strange sense of joy welled up inside her.

Perhaps this is the meaning of spending time with friends.

Xu Mo sensed the change in the girl's emotions beside him, and smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Although the school does not prohibit students from eating while walking, the students are still quite shy.

After noticing that someone was watching her, Song Shuyan stopped eating.

Cheng Yuanhao and Jin Kai also stopped eating their skewers.

However, in contrast, the group quickened their pace.

Back in the classroom, the four of them returned to their seats.

Upon opening the food container, the aroma of fried skewers immediately fills the air, with a particularly distinct flavor of oil mixed with cumin.

"Holy crap? You guys went out to eat?"

Upon smelling the aroma, some boys immediately gathered around Cheng Yuanhao and his friends.

Even the two people in front of Xu Mo wandered over there.

This was largely due to Song Shuyan.

For Xu Mo, this is good too, as it makes things peaceful.

Perhaps because they had only known each other for a short time, everyone just gathered around to take a look, without shamelessly asking for anything to eat.

If so many people gather here, and you take a little and I take a little, what will the others eat?

It's not like spicy strips.

Cheng Yuanhao quickly brought over a large can of Coke.

"Come on, get your water glasses out! I'll pour you all a full glass!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo silently took out his 2-liter canister.

"Pour it full."

"Damn it..."

Looking at the large bucket, Song Shuyan felt a surge of inexplicable amusement.

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

(I'm very happy.)

Cheng Yuanhao eventually poured 500 milliliters for Xu Mo.

Not a bit more, not a bit less, because Xu Mo's cup has markings.

"Sister Song, where's your cup?"

Upon hearing Cheng Yuanhao call her name, Song Shuyan immediately reached for her cup.

The girl's cup has a capacity of 1 liter.

Cheng Yuanhao was speechless at the sight of the large cup in front of him.

"I really..."

Why are your water bottles so big?!

Cheng Yuanhao looked at the beautiful girl.

He no longer finds Song Shuyan scary.

She and Xu Mo were both the same kind of bad guys who wanted to trick her out of her Coke.

After pouring the cola, Cheng Yuanhao quickly slipped away.

I can't stand it anymore, I can't stay here any longer.

Xu Mo and Song Shuyan looked at Cheng Yuanhao's back and then exchanged a glance.

"Eat!"

Xu Mo opened the box and picked up a piece first.

Song Shuyan picked up a piece of rice cake; the outer skin was fried until crispy, and the soft, glutinous rice inside melted on her tongue.

Xu Mo pointed to the chicken strips in the box: "Try this, it tastes delicious."

"Um!"

The girl reached out with her chopsticks and picked up the chicken strip.

The crispy outer layer encases a firm, meaty texture.

(happy!)

Xu Mo felt the overwhelming sense of surprise and joy, and a wide smile spread across his face.

This is probably what a sense of accomplishment is.

Amid the classroom noise, Xia Tian turned her gaze away from Cheng Yuanhao's pile of fried skewers and inadvertently glanced at the corner diagonally behind her.

Xu Mo and Song Shuyan were actually huddled together, head to head.

Xu Mo's chopsticks moved among the fried skewers, and then Song Shuyan naturally placed her chopsticks where Xu Mo had pointed, picked up a piece of food and put it in her mouth.

The girl lowered her eyes and chewed with small bites, her cheeks puffing out slightly with each bite, her profile looking incredibly docile.

"Try this cauliflower, it's crunchy."

Xu Mo tapped a corner of the box.

Song Shuyan obediently turned his chopsticks toward the piece he indicated.

Xu Mo watched her take a bite before smiling and picking up the meat from the other side.

Xia Tian froze in her seat.

Why?!

How come Song Shuyan, who was considered an iceberg by the whole class, was so well-behaved in front of Xu Mo?!

It's just like a cat whose fur has been stroked!

She ate wherever Xu Mo pointed!

This scene is a hundred times more shocking than witnessing the two of them going to school together this morning!

Xia Tian felt her worldview was shattering.

So, is the freezing cold during homework collection specifically designed for us mere mortals?!

Just then, Xia Tian's gaze suddenly froze.

At that moment, Song Shuyan looked at Xu Mo's profile and a gentle smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

A gentle smile softened the coldness in her eyes.

Xia Tian's breath hitched.

Aaaaaah!! Help!

The iceberg has melted!!

That smile is just too much!

Holy crap! Holy crap! My health bar is empty!

Xia Tian suddenly grabbed Li Ting's arm and shook it violently.

Li Ting, engrossed in organizing her notes, exclaimed, "Sweetie, what are you doing?! Have you seen a ghost?!"

"It's scarier than seeing a ghost!"

Xia Tian grabbed Li Ting: "I...I just saw Song Shuyan..."

"What's wrong with her?"

"no!"

Xia Tian's eyes gleamed with excitement: "She smiled! She smiled at Xu Mo!"

Li Ting immediately denied it: "Impossible! You must have seen wrong!"

"It's true!"

Xia Tian grabbed her deskmate and shook her wildly: "She was laughing so happily! Her eyes were shining! Oh my god—"

The girl clutched her chest, gasping for breath: "That's too unfair! I'm completely drained!"

Li Ting looked suspiciously at the back row.

At this moment, Song Shuyan had already suppressed her smile and was eating fried skewers in small bites, her eyebrows and eyes cold and aloof.

"Sweet."

Li Ting nudged her deskmate, who was still lost in excitement, and whispered, "Have you been reading too many romance novels lately and are you hallucinating?"

Xia Tian stamped her feet anxiously, "I really saw it! She really smiled at Xu Mo just now!"

The two were enjoying their food with great satisfaction, completely unaware of what had just happened.

Xu Mo grabbed his ton-can and tilted his head back to take a big gulp.

"ha--"

The boy breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look at Song Shuyan beside him.

"Don't just eat, try a sip of Coke!"

Song Shuyan raised his head upon hearing the sound.

"Fried skewers taste best with carbonated drinks! You should try it."

Seeing Xu Mo's expectant look, Song Shuyan nodded.

She put down her chopsticks and picked up her rather large water glass with both hands.

She brought the cup to her lips and took a small sip.
