Desk mate, your persona has crumbled.

Because of the rain, there were a lot of parents dropping their children off at school today, and there were many cars.

Beneath the rain curtain, there were people everywhere.

The school gates opened early, but there weren't many people gathered at the entrance.

After saying goodbye to Lao Song, Xu Mo and Song Shuyan walked towards the school with their umbrellas.

Raindrops pattered against the umbrellas, making a soft, rhythmic sound, and gathered into a sea of ​​umbrellas at the intersection in front of the school gate.

Xu Mo glanced at Song Shuyan, who was quietly holding an umbrella beside him. The girl's fair face looked particularly serene in the shadows under the umbrella.

"Song Shuyan, have you had breakfast?"

Song Shuyan shook his head.

"Let's go to the cafeteria to eat. The cafeteria doesn't close until 6:30, and it's still early. Let's get some to go."

"Um!"

Actually, Song Shuyan quite liked walking with Xu Mo.

It would be even better if there were fewer people now.

The two of them, braving the rain, joined the crowd surging towards the school gate.

Water droplets from the umbrella's edge formed a line and dripped onto the crowded passageway.

Song Shuyan followed closely beside Xu Mo, feeling the slight pressure from the surrounding crowd.

Xu Mo subconsciously stepped aside to block Song Shuyan: "There are a lot of people, so let's get a little closer, or we'll lose them and have trouble finding them."

As Xu Mo spoke, he leaned a little closer, and the umbrella surfaces touched.

The boy said half-jokingly, "Hey, why don't you hold my backpack? That way you won't get lost."

Song Shuyan's gaze fell on Xu Mo's schoolbag, and she shook her head.

"No need, I'm not a child."

Xu Mo was slightly taken aback.

Whenever she encounters a crowded place, Song Shuyan always unconsciously tenses up.

But even through the rain curtain, he could sense her calm demeanor.

The boy looked at the girl beside him.

She appeared remarkably at ease within the small space enclosed by the umbrella.

It was as if this swaying umbrella isolated the entire world.

A dense cluster of umbrellas crisscrossed overhead, forming a flowing dome, with water droplets sliding down the umbrella surfaces to create a private water curtain around the two of them.

Xu Mo nodded: "Then stay close."

"Um."

Song Shuyan agreed and naturally stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

The two arrived at the cafeteria quickly.

Some day students eat breakfast in the cafeteria, since having a ticket can save them the cost of breakfast.

The two packed up two portions of fried rice and then prepared to return to the classroom.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind them.

"Brother Xu! Sister Song!"

Xu Mo turned his head and saw Jin Kai.

"Why are you guys in the cafeteria?"

"You didn't have breakfast."

"Um!"

Looking at the two of them, Jin Kai realized that he had asked a really silly question.

The boy picked up the umbrella and changed the subject: "Let's go back to the classroom!"

The two people in one group became three.

Walking down the street, Jin Kai looked at the two people beside him and, unable to contain his curiosity, asked them.

"Brother Xu, do you and Sister Song live in the same place? I saw you two walking in the same direction last Friday."

Xu Mo didn't hide anything and nodded: "Yes! We live in the same neighborhood."

"So you two knew each other a long time ago?"

"I know her, but she doesn't know me."

"How so?"

(curious.)

(Confuse.)

Xu Mo turned to look at the direction of the confusion, and saw it was Song Shuyan.

The boy looked at the girl, equally puzzled:

"Don't you know? I told you last time that if your mom went to parent-teacher conferences, we might have met by now."

Song Shuyan nodded.

The boy then explained, "The reason I say that is because we are from the same elementary school and the same middle school."

(shock!)

(shock!)

Song Shuyan truly knew nothing about this matter.

After Ms. Fang Yi spoke with Yang Muyun, Yang Muyun only told Lao Song, without telling Song Shuyan.

The girl only now realized that this was the situation.

Before Song Shuyan could process her shock, Xu Mo continued, "Actually, Cheng Yuanhao went to the same junior high school as us, but he was in Class 5."

Jin Kai chimed in, "So what happened between you two...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Mo interrupted and answered.

"My mom and her mom work at the same company."

Jin Kai's mind was a bit confused.

The boy was momentarily stunned.

The brain has a hard time processing this complex data.

They went to the same school and lived in the same place from childhood to adulthood, and their mothers even worked at the same company.

If the criteria only go this far, then Song Shuyan and Xu Mo are the quintessential childhood sweethearts.

But what if we add a condition?

Song Shuyan did not know Xu Mo before high school.

This is where things get interesting.

Jin Kai really wanted to complain.

"So, parallel lines can intersect, right?"

"Yes, but that won't work in high school."

Jin Kai glanced at Xu Mo, then at Song Shuyan.

Will it not work?

This might work!

By this time, Song Shuyan had also finished processing the information.

In short, just as Xu Mo said.

Perhaps they could have met sooner.

It was only due to various reasons and coincidences that they only met now.

Actually, I'm very happy to have met you.

Xu Mo looked at the sticky note on the corner of the table; the handwriting was neat and clean, just like her.

The young man's imperial engine has been activated.

My heart was pounding wildly and erratically in my chest, as if it were trying to break free of its restraints.

Xu Mo felt a scalding heat rush to his cheeks, making his head spin.

Xu Mo stared blankly at the small sticky note, then slowly raised his eyes to look at his side.

There is no sunshine today, but there is Song Shuyan.

I'm very happy to have met you.

It's not "I wish we had met sooner," but rather "I'm happy to have met you now."

The boy's usual cleverness vanished without a trace.

He knew perfectly well that Song Shuyan wasn't flirting with him.

She was simply responding to what she had just said.

But just like the lyrics say.

Love comes too fast, like a tornado.

Oh no, Song Shuyan just raised his hand and a typhoon appeared.

Xu Mo was at a loss for how to respond.

The child had never been in a relationship before, and this sudden exposure caused him to lose his mind.

Song Shuyan stared blankly at Xu Mo.

The boy's eyes were swirling with many emotions that she couldn't yet decipher.

The girl tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with confusion.

But she didn't ask, and instead met Xu Mo's gaze with composure.

The two of them just stared at each other.

A few rows away, Xia Tian rested her chin on her hand, watching the couple in the back row.

The girl's dimples deepened, and she shook her head softly, sighing, "Love, how beautiful..."

Li Ting, who was standing to the side, followed her gaze.

After a long silence, she finally sighed resignedly, "I admit, there really is something wrong with these two."

Just then, a figure appeared at the back door of the classroom.

Cheng Yuanhao stealthily crept up behind Xu Mo.

He had intended to play a prank, but before he could even do it, he saw a figure in the distance and leaped up.

Empress Xia Tian unleashed a Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, and Cheng Yuanhao immediately dared not act rashly.
