When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

Su Ningyu locked the door from the inside, curled up on the floor, and large tears streamed down her face.

"Waaaaah..."

She sobbed, enduring both physical and mental torment.

Why can't you show me even a little love?

Even just a little bit... even just a little bit would be nice...

Su Ningyu had just turned to the side when she realized that something hard was poking her in her pocket.

She quickly wiped away her tears and took the hard object out of her pocket.

It's a lollipop.

This morning I used a steamed bun, which I got from Bai Yu.

At this moment, the lollipop seemed to be Su Ningyu's last lifeline.

She frantically tore open the packaging and put the candy in her mouth.

So sweet...

The orange flavor is indeed delicious...

Tears welled up in her eyes and spilled down her chin, dripping onto her clothes.

In the sweetness of the lollipop, Bai Yu's voice seemed to echo in my ears.

"Eat candy."

"What's wrong with it? You are worth it."

The more Su Ningyu thought about it, the more her tears flowed.

Actually... I like Bai Yu.

Luo Qingyan's voice also appeared in her mind.

The bitterness in her heart almost outweighed the sweetness the lollipop brought her.

Why...

It took me so much effort, so much difficulty, to finally have something of my own.

Is it about to be lost in the blink of an eye?

No! No!

Bai Yu is such a good person... When did I ever have him?

Su Ningyu looked up at the mirror in the room.

Feelings of inferiority are a common concern for young girls.

The reflection in the mirror shows the person biting into a lollipop, tears streaming down their face.

It's as ugly as it gets.

She just kept thinking about what Luo Qingyan and Mu Anqi looked like.

They are all good-looking and have great figures.

Then I looked at myself... and found nothing.

Yeah, why would Bai Yu like me?

But... even just a little bit of your love would be nice to me.

Just a little bit...

I don't need too much, just a little bit will do.

......

"Hmm? Class monitor, you don't look too good."

The next morning, Bai Yu lazily sat down in a chair with her schoolbag on her back.

Su Ningyu, who was standing to the side, seemed to have something on her mind and kept her head down.

As soon as I spoke to her, she suddenly raised her head like a startled kitten.

"Huh? Is there...?"

"It's obvious, you had a fight with your family?"

Bai Yu said quietly, guessing this possibility.

After all, Su Ningyu's family, which had such a disastrous start, was simply too difficult to manage.

"without......"

"Here, have some candy."

Bai Yu didn't care about anything else and just stuffed a lollipop into her palm.

"This one is grape flavored, which is not bad, but I still prefer orange flavor."

"Thank you... thank you..."

Su Ningyu accepted the lollipop, glanced at Bai Yu, and felt extremely sad.

This is the person Qingyan likes...

"What's wrong? Squad leader, why are you looking at me like that?"

"No, no!"

Su Ningyu immediately buried her head in her homework at her desk.

This reaction made Bai Yu's lips twitch.

The class monitor, as always, doesn't know how to hide his true self.

Judging from her unhappy appearance now, it's most likely that she's been traumatized by family issues again.

As for how to treat this kind of trauma....

Bai Yu didn't really know either.

Anyway, I gritted my teeth and got through those five years.

"Oh, right, class monitor, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Bai Yu suddenly remembered something and spoke up.

Upon hearing Bai Yu's voice, Su Ningyu suddenly raised her head again.

"What is it?"

"On the day of the garden party... would it be okay to add Mu Anqi?"

"Yes, yes!"

Su Ningyu seemed to have been stimulated by something and quickly spoke up.

That feeling of inferiority resurfaced, causing her to speak softly.

"Actually, it's okay if you kick me out... I won't be upset."

But then she immediately remembered the favor Luo Qingyan had asked her to do.

This prompted Su Ningyu to speak up again.

"Let's replace me with Luo Qingyan..."

Hearing her words, Bai Yu was completely dumbfounded.

He tilted his head, looking at Su Ningyu, who seemed particularly sensitive.

What on earth happened to the class monitor?

They talk incoherently.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu bent his knuckles and gently tapped Su Ningyu's head.

"Hmm..."

(☍﹏⁰)

"What are you saying? Why did I kick you?"

"I can't compare to them..."

Why compare yourself to them?

Bai Yu felt increasingly strange, and Su Ningyu's words seemed completely incomprehensible.

"Class monitor, you're amazing, okay? Being ranked first in the grade by a wide margin is no joke."

"Really?"

Su Ningyu murmured.

Despite her excellent grades, her parents never praised her at all.

"real!"

"Thank you, Bai Yu."

"Huh? Didn't you say you were going to call me your deskmate?"

"Okay! Classmate!"

Su Ningyu was no longer emo; Bai Yu had swept away all the bad mood she had accumulated yesterday in a few moments.

I feel more cheerful and radiant than before.

Seeing this, Bai Yu nodded silently.

Sure enough, people like the class monitor, who have suffered trauma from a lack of love in their families, need a sense of belonging the most.

We can focus our efforts on this aspect in the future.

On the other side of the classroom, Mu Anqi and Lin Siyu were whispering to each other.

"My dear, I've successfully invited her. What's the next step?"

"Really? That's wonderful! You can secretly take him to do some more intimate activities together..."

Lin Siyu gave her advice in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Mu Anqi shook her head.

"No, that won't work! Bai Yu doesn't really like close physical contact..."

"How is that possible? The ambiguity before the true identity is revealed is the easiest way to make someone's heart flutter."

Lin Siyu was quite surprised, feeling that there was nothing wrong with her plan.

Based on the strategist's many years of experience, that's how it should be!

However, what Lin Siyu didn't know was...

A boastful remark made by a certain region was unintentionally overheard by the person in question.

Otherwise, her trick would actually work.

"Is there an easier method that doesn't require specific techniques?"

Mu Anqi asked Lin Siyu in a low voice.

"Well... there is a method, but it's not exactly honorable."

Lin Siyu suddenly turned into a comical expression.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Come on, bite my ear."

Lin Siyu whispered a few words to Mu Anqi.

Then, Mu Anqi's face turned crimson at a visible speed.

She raised her head with a look of shame, distancing herself from Lin Siyu, who had a wicked grin on her face.

"Isn't this... a bit too much?"

"Oh, Angie, otherwise I wouldn't have said it was disgraceful."

"As the saying goes, once the package is opened, it can't be returned, right?"
