I was born and listened to my neighbor's older sister talk about her family of origin.

Three days later, Lin Youxun's hearing aid was finally repaired.

The moment she put the little machine back on and pressed the switch, the whole world came alive with a "buzz".

The dull whirring of the fan, the chirping of unknown birds outside the window, the whistling from the distant playground, and... the scratching sound of my deskmate's pen slicing across paper.

Various sounds rushed into her ears, some noisy, but they made her feel incredibly at ease.

Her world regained its sound.

In the past three days, Jiang Ye and Lin Youxun's relationship has progressed rapidly, and Lin Xinghe, their wingman, is basically no longer needed.

Thanks to the two opportunities created by Lin Xinghe, the two became pretty good friends, their communication was no longer stiff, and their interactions were very natural.

Lin Youxun couldn't believe that she had so easily made her first male friend in her life.

It was as if the two of them had spent a long time together in the past, so natural it was almost unbelievable.

Sometimes, it even made her momentarily dazed.

The most common scene between the two is Lin Youxun poking Jiang Ye's arm while holding a workbook.

Her grades were poor, and she was extremely unbalanced in her subjects.

The richer the humanities are in terms of sensibility and imagination, the poorer the sciences are in terms of logical thinking.

When it comes to science, she's only half right, completely clueless.

Every time she studied science, she was completely lost and couldn't understand it at all.

What exactly does X equal?

Why do several letters in chemistry need to be combined to form another set of letters?

How exactly do you interpret contour lines?

For Lin Youxun, attending these classes was torture every time.

But as soon as get out of class ended, Jiang Ye would generously explain the knowledge she didn't understand in class to her again in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Lin Youxun couldn't understand it immediately, but her thoughts became much clearer.

She thought Jiang Ye was even more capable than the teacher.

He was sleeping in class, so how did he even understand the knowledge?

He must have been studying secretly at night.

After Jiang Ye finished explaining, Lin Youxun would lower her head and try to solve the problem herself.

At this point, he would lean lazily back in his chair, prop his chin up with one hand, and silently watch her.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, gilding the top of her fluffy hair with a golden edge, making her profile appear soft yet focused.

She was looking at the questions, and he was looking at her.

Little did they know, the two of them were also a sight to behold in the eyes of others.

It's just a spoilsport.

Lin Xinghe knew that the second task Jiang Ye had given her had come to a successful conclusion.

But she felt no sense of accomplishment from completing the task; instead, she felt very upset and resentful.

Behind her, one of them was focused on solving a problem, while the other was casually resting his chin on his hand and watching her.

The sunlight shone perfectly on them, making them look like a beautiful painting.

A jarring painting.

Lin Xinghe couldn't help but lower her eyes.

She knew that her sister was not like her, stubbornly refusing to interact with other people.

She is gentle at heart; if someone treats her well, she will repay them tenfold.

Even though the world had treated her unfairly, plunging her into a silent abyss, she never resented anyone and continued to treat everyone with her tender heart.

Unlike me, I'm a coward who only knows how to wrap myself in a sharp shell, raising all my thorns, stabbing anyone who dares to come near, and after stabbing others, I stab myself until I'm covered in blood.

To outsiders, Lin Youxun appears thin and fragile, needing protection.

Lin Xinghe, on the other hand, is prickly and unapproachable, not someone to be trifled with.

This is not the case.

The truly unbreakable one has always been Lin Youxun.

She was nothing more than a pitiful creature living in the shadows, locked in a cage she herself had built, forever unable to see the light of day.

Feelings of inferiority mixed with panic overwhelmed Lin Xinghe's rationality, but she mistakenly believed that it was Jiang Ye's anger and unease at wanting to take her sister away from her.

But she didn't dare to actually lose her temper.

just in case......

What if what Jiang Ye said is true?

Her sister was her everything, and she would never let anything happen to her.

Even if the reason for this is a "time travel to the future" that seems extremely absurd to others.

Lin Xinghe was unhappy.

At this moment, Ji Xiaoxiao, who was Lin Xinghe's deskmate, couldn't help but look at Lin Xinghe.

Even though the two sides are not very familiar with each other and have not exchanged more than a few words.

But even though she was oblivious, she could still sense Lin Xinghe's low spirits these past few days, as well as a gloomy feeling that made her feel inexplicably cold.

Actually, Ji Xiaoxiao was a little jealous that Jiang Ye's attention had been focused on Lin Youxun these past few days.

This guy has never been as gentle and patient with her as he has with Lin Youxun!

And you even take notes for others!

She had been with Jiang Ye for so many years and had never received such a meticulous note from him, yet Lin Youxun obtained it so easily.

Even though she knew in her heart that Jiang Ye might like Lin Youxun, she still couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness.

Hmph, a relationship of over ten years is not as good as a girl I just met!

Jiang Ye! You've changed!

Ji Xiaoxiao was also unhappy.

When two unhappy people sit together, a subtle magnetic field is inexplicably created.

They unexpectedly locked eyes.

Ji Xiaoxiao pouted and winked at Lin Xinghe, who had no expression. As always, she was straightforward and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Aren't they a little too affectionate?"

Lin Xinghe remained silent: "..."

"Do you think Jiang Ye likes your sister?"

These words seemed to touch Lin Xinghe's sore spot. She snorted coldly, glanced at the two people behind her whose bodies were almost touching, and whispered.

"He's not good enough for my sister!"

I thought that as Jiang Ye's childhood friend, she would be resentful, but to my surprise, Ji Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly.

"I think so too, your sister is so beautiful! Jiang Ye is a complete bastard!"

In an instant, a strange resonance seemed to emerge between the two.

Lin Xinghe was surprised that Jiang Ye's childhood sweetheart would give such an evaluation, and a certain awkwardness in her heart dissipated somewhat.

For once, she took the initiative to start a conversation, her voice very low.

Lin Xinghe: "Didn't you two have a pretty good relationship? Why do you say that?"

Ji Xiaoxiao: "Having a good relationship doesn't mean anything. He's clearly prioritizing women over friends!"

Lin Xinghe: "That's right! And he's also very cunning, not at all like a junior high school student."

Ji Xiaoxiao strongly agreed with this point and began to pour out her grievances.

She said that Jiang Ye used to always find ways to trick her into giving him snacks, and she was completely unaware of it, happily counting the money for him even though she was being sold out.

It always took them a long time to realize how many losses they had suffered at Jiang Ye's hands.

Fortunately, she learned from her mistake and never let Jiang Ye gain the upper hand again.

Lu Xun once said something that is quite right.

When two people share a common enemy, the distance between their hearts will shrink at an incredible speed.

Even though Lin Xinghe still couldn't shake off her inner constraints, she was willing to go all out to hear more bad things about Jiang Ye.

"You grew up with him, did you catch him doing anything wrong?! Did anything embarrassing happen to you when you were little?"

Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "There really is! Let me tell you... gibberish..."

Lin Xinghe leaned closer with a delighted expression, listening intently and not missing a single detail, a smile involuntarily spreading across her face.
