Desk mate, your persona has crumbled.

Xu Mo spent the entire evening in anticipation, even after he got home and lay down in bed.

The boy rested his head on his arm, staring at the moonlight cast on the wall, his mind filled with speculation about the reward.

"What on earth is that...?"

The only thing that could make Song Shuyan blush was a physical item, and it had to be purchased online.

This range is so vast, and it's making me incredibly excited.

Stationery?

Given Song Shuyan's personality, giving her this gift is reasonable, but would she be shy about it?

Game merchandise?

Xu Mo thought about it and realized he hadn't mentioned it much in front of her. Besides, it didn't seem to fit Song Shuyan's style.

Book?

It's highly likely.

Song Shuyan loves reading, but would he be shy about giving her a book?

Unless it is...

Some book titles flashed through Xu Mo's mind, but he quickly shook his head to dismiss them. Impossible, impossible!

Small accessories? Cute style? This seems a bit too much like a shy vibe?

Or... clothes?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Xu Mo nipped it in the bud.

"Ah—I never would have guessed!"

Xu Mo scratched his hair in frustration and rolled around on the bed for a bit.

One moment he felt he was overthinking things, the next he felt that someone who could make the usually aloof Song Shuyan so shy must be extraordinary!

"Never mind, we'll find out tomorrow."

Xu Mo took a deep breath and forced himself to close his eyes.

My consciousness gradually faded, and I drifted off to sleep.

The dream seemed bizarre and fantastical, with the shadows of various packaging boxes flashing by, but I could never see what was inside.

Then, the alarm clock rang.

Xu Mo suddenly opened his eyes as the daylight outside the window began to brighten.

Friday has arrived.

The boy jumped out of bed quickly, washed up, and headed downstairs to Song Shuyan's house.

Xu Mo stood outside the apartment building, looking up towards the elevator lobby.

As the elevator descended, I felt a surge of anticipation.

Goodness, what kind of positioning ability is this?

Xu Mo discovered another way to use his ability.

"Good morning!"

Xu Mo smiled slightly at Song Shuyan, then turned to look at Song Jianghuai.

"Good morning, Uncle!"

Song Jianghuai nodded.

After so many days of this, Old Song has started to get used to the young man picking up his daughter every morning and bringing her back every evening.

Watching the two figures leave, Song Jianghuai turned and went upstairs.

When the door opened, Song Jianghuai's heart skipped a beat.

An idea popped into my head.

Did your daughter bring the keys?

My little darling has gone to that brat's house for two Fridays in a row!

They're too playful.

Old Song stared at the door lock in front of him and muttered to himself, "Shouldn't I change the lock?"

In late September, the weather showed no signs of cooling down.

Xu Mo and Song Shuyan walked side by side on the campus road.

Each of them held a steaming rice ball in their hand.

Song Shuyan has already decided on white rice balls; she prefers that texture.

Xu Mo's is made with black rice.

Song Shuyan took small bites of the rice ball, her cheeks puffing out slightly from chewing, like a quiet and focused hamster.

Just then, a vibrant voice rang out from behind them:

"Xu Mo! Song Shuyan! Good morning!"

The two turned around at the sound and saw Xia Tian quickly catching up from behind, with a bright smile on her face.

After the "close" contact during the last PE class, Xia Tian is still instinctively nervous around Song Shuyan these days.

But she has also discovered that the beautiful girl is not as cold as she imagined.

"Good morning," Xu Mo replied naturally.

Song Shuyan looked over in the direction of the sound and nodded politely.

The girl's cool and aloof face came into Xia Tian's view.

She still had a mouthful of rice in her mouth, her cheeks bulging.

"!!!"

Xia Tian's heart was instantly struck.

Holy crap?

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!

Xia Tian's mind went blank for a moment, with only one thought frantically scrolling through her screen.

So cute!!!

This contrast is so adorable!!

Those chubby cheeks!

Those innocent eyes!!

Nuwa!

Look what you've done!

Xia Tian felt her health bar was empty again.

She instinctively covered her chest.

Peace has been restored.

Seeing that Xia Tian was about to pass out on the spot, Xu Mo quickly spoke up:

"Xia Tian! Let's go!"

"Huh? Oh...oh!"

The girl shook her head violently, trying to shake off the shocking image from her mind.

Xia Tian caught up with the two and asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time: "By the way, why did you two leave together? And have breakfast together?"

"My mom knows her mom, and she just asked me to take her to school with her in the morning," Xu Mo said without hiding anything.

"Oh...I see."

Looking at her, Xu Mo smiled and asked, "Speaking of which, how have you been feeling these past two days?"

"Feel?"

Xia Tian was taken aback: "What...what feeling?"

Xu Mo gestured with his chin towards Song Shuyan beside him, prompting, "Who else could it be? Our classmate Song. Have you noticed any changes in her these past two days?"

Xia Tian was taken aback by the question and subconsciously looked at Song Shuyan.

The pretty girl noticed the conversation had turned to her and looked up at the two of them.

"Well……"

Xia Tian opened her mouth: "I just feel like, Song isn't actually that scary?"

"I used to think of her as an iceberg; I was afraid of getting frostbite if I got too close. Now... um..."

She scratched her head, finally managing to squeeze out, "It's kind of cute, isn't it?"

After saying that, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly lowered her head to pretend to tidy up her backpack straps.

Song Shuyan listened to Xia Tian's comments without showing any expression, and just continued to eat his rice ball.

(happy.)

Xu Mo sensed the emotions conveyed by the girl beside him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.

"Right?"

Xu Mo smiled and replied, "Actually, she's never been aloof."

"what?"

Xia Tian stared blankly at Xu Mo, then listened to the young man in front of her speak.

"She's just a little too socially anxious."

"ah?!"

Xia Tian turned to look at Song Shuyan, trying to get an answer from his face.

This face doesn't look like someone with social anxiety at all!

Then, Xia Tian saw Song Shuyan nod his head slightly.

The pretty girl looked at her seriously and said earnestly, "Um, I'm socially awkward."

Xu Mo and Xia Tian were both stunned.

Why does it have this inexplicably cute feel to it?

Looking at the aloof face in front of me, and recalling everything that had happened before.

If we apply the premise of Song Shuyan's social anxiety...

Xia Tian felt that Song Shuyan's persona had been shattered in her eyes.

Hey!

What does it mean that the seemingly aloof and beautiful girl in the class is actually adorably naive?

Actually, he's not cute or silly at all.

Xia Tian looked at Song Shuyan.

Suddenly it occurred to me, what if Song Shuyan really is socially awkward?

So, it took a lot of courage for her to come to school.

Before Xu Mo became her deskmate, Song Shuyan always kept to herself and never interacted with anyone else.

In the classroom, she stayed in her seat and read.

Carrying a large water bottle, I would go out during lunch break when no one was around, except for meals and after school.

No matter how others viewed her, she obediently huddled in her own corner.

She was actually very brave.
