Desk mate, your persona has crumbled.

"I……"

Song Shuyan looked at Xu Mo.

Looking into the boy's eyes, she seemed to have really stopped being nervous!

(happy!)

Xu Mo looked at Song Shuyan's slightly delighted expression, but for Song Shuyan's ability to manage her emotions, this change was already beyond her expectations.

The boy smiled and asked, "How was it? Wasn't it very effective?"

Song Shuyan nodded twice.

They seem genuinely happy.

It really works. Now, when she looks into Xu Mo's eyes, she no longer feels the nervousness she used to feel.

This was nothing short of a miracle for Song Shuyan.

Looking at the boy's bright smile, the girl suddenly felt a desire to express herself.

Under Xu Mo's gaze, Song Shuyan's lips parted slightly.

"for……"

However, the tension in Song Shuyan's heart surged up again as soon as he pronounced just one syllable.

(Super nervous!)

Xu Mo stared expressionlessly at the beautiful girl who had once again crashed in front of him.

got used to.

Song Shuyan is the kind of socially awkward person who is both incompetent and loves to talk.

In fact, she has a strong desire to express herself, but unfortunately, her social anxiety level is too high.

However, on the other hand, it is also because of her excessive social anxiety that she wants to communicate with people.

Having finally found someone with whom I don't feel nervous when making eye contact, I naturally want to have more conversations with them.

Xu Mo naturally understood.

The boy picked up a pen and quickly wrote a few words on a sticky note.

No rush, take your time.

Song Shuyan looked at the words on the sticky note and took a deep breath.

"I……"

I'm stuck again.

Song Shuyan opened his mouth, but the following syllables got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

A moment later, a hint of frustration crept into the girl's usually calm eyes.

She silently lowered her head, her fingertips gripping the pen on the table tightly.

(Frustrated.)

This feeling of depression was clearly transmitted to Xu Mo's mind.

The girl didn't look up; with a hint of resentment in her hand, she quickly wrote on the sticky note:

Why?

After writing it, she pushed the note in front of Xu Mo.

Xu Mo looked at the sticky note, then glanced at Song Shuyan.

Why?

She certainly wasn't asking why she was so nervous she couldn't speak.

Xu Mo blinked, picked up a pen, and wrote his answer on a sticky note.

Perhaps it's because we're friends.

Song Shuyan stared blankly at the sticky note that Xu Mo handed her.

Friend, huh?

Is it because she considers Xu Mo a friend that she isn't nervous around him?

Song Shuyan looked up at Xu Mo.

The moment their eyes met, the tension that had always been there vanished without a trace.

Is it because of friends?

No.

not like this.

Song Shuyan tore off a new sticky note.

No.

When I see you, I think of that eye contact you mentioned.

The ink paused for a moment, the girl took a deep breath, and wrote down what was in her heart.

I feel like I'm staring right into your dog's eyes.

After writing, Song Shuyan gently pushed the sticky note between the two of them.

(Excuse me.)

Sensing this unusual emotion, Xu Mo's gaze fell curiously on the sticky note.

Then Xu Mo fell silent.

Song Shuyan, are you being polite?

What do you mean by staring at my dog?!

Is Xu Fugui really that prominent?

Was it because it yelled at you yesterday?

Seeing Xu Mo's clearly resentful gaze, Song Shuyan quickly looked away.

The girl's gaze drifted to the window, as if the clouds outside were incredibly captivating.

That aloof face still revealed little expression, much like a cat caught doing something wrong pretending nothing happened.

She also realized she was wrong.

Xu Mo was both annoyed and amused by Song Shuyan's escapist behavior.

The boy bent his finger and tapped it lightly on the table, successfully drawing Song Shuyan's attention back.

Although the girl's gaze was still somewhat unfocused, she didn't dare to focus entirely on his face.

Xu Mo picked up a pen and scribbled on a sticky note.

【Song Shuyan, classmate!!】

I'll help you overcome your social anxiety!

So, in your heart, am I the same as Xu Fugui?

My sincere heart has been compared to that of a dog by you?

After Xu Mo finished writing, he handed the sticky note to Song Shuyan.

The boy tapped the table with a serious expression, gesturing for her to look.

Song Shuyan looked at the sticky note obediently, and as she looked at each word, her head drooped even lower.

(panic.)

Given her limited experience in making friends, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Song Shuyan had absolutely no idea what to do.

But she remained blank.

Xu Mo looked at the girl who made no further move. He knew, of course, that she didn't mean it, and that her guilt at this moment was genuine.

Seeing that the panic was showing signs of continuing to escalate, an idea popped into my head.

He picked up a sticky note.

With a few quick scribbles, a sticky note landed in front of Song Shuyan.

Apologize to me, and I'll forgive you.

Song Shuyan glanced at the sticky note in front of her, quickly picked up a pen, and scribbled down three words:

【sorry!】

After writing it, she immediately pushed the sticky note in front of Xu Mo.

Xu Mo stretched out his finger, gently tapped the sticky note, and then slowly pushed it back.

Song Shuyan paused upon seeing this action.

(I'm about to cry.)

Xu Mo grew anxious as he looked at Song Shuyan's pretty face, which remained expressionless.

Who knows if she'll actually burst into tears the next second!

Hey, wait until I finish!

"Hey, hey, hey, wait until later before you cry!"

Perhaps because he was anxious, Xu Mo's voice unconsciously rose a little as he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Mo sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, the students, who were all busy with their own things, all turned their attention to him and Song Shuyan.

Cheng Yuanhao turned his head sharply, his eyes wide open.

Xu Mo, noticing everyone's gaze, adopted a fake smile.

The classmates looked at Xu Mo with a fake smile and Song Shuyan, who had returned to her "battle face".

(gloat!)

Xu Mo knew without even thinking that they must think of him as the kind of guy who wanted to attract Song Shuyan's attention.

After watching for a moment, everyone slowly looked away.

Only Cheng Yuanhao.

The boy looked at Xu Mo with a serious expression, held up two fingers, pointed to his own eyes, and then pointed directly at Xu Mo.

I'm watching you!

Xu Mo clearly sensed that this guy was enjoying the spectacle.

Seeing that no one was watching him anymore, Xu Mo breathed a slight sigh of relief.

That shout just now almost made him think that his high school life was about to end on the first day of school.

Fortunately, Song Shuyan's performance remained very stable.

Xu Mo turned his head and looked at Song Shuyan, who had already entered a state of malfunction.

(I'm terrified!)

Clearly, for the time being, any emotion of Song Shuyan can be interpreted in a common way.

That was once a profound saying.

All eyes are on me!
