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

After a morning of classes, it was time for lunch.

As usual, Bai Yu was kept behind by Su Ningyu to catch up on his studies.

Without this step, Su Ningyu wouldn't feel at ease swiping his meal card.

Under her careful guidance, Bai Yu felt that she had learned a lot of knowledge.

If he were to take the exam right now, he felt he could rank among the top students in his class.

Just like the saying goes, the sky cleared up and the rain stopped.

Bai Yu felt like she was back in the game.

"Hey! Squad leader, isn't that enough?"

Bai Yu put down his pen and stretched.

The joints, which had been stretched out for too long, made a cracking sound.

"Let's finish learning this one more concept."

Su Ningyu spoke weakly.

"Squad leader, don't overwork yourself, take a break."

"oh."

"Let's go eat."

Bai Yu put away her homework and said with a smile.

"good!"

Just as I stepped out of the classroom, I happened to see Luo Qingyan passing by.

However, it's unclear whether they were truly just passing by.

"Hmm? What a coincidence, we meet again."

Luo Qingyan smiled and walked naturally alongside the two of them.

It's like recruiting an NPC into your party on the street.

"Oh? Xiaoyu's here too?"

"Um......"

Luo Qingyan's sudden arrival left Su Ningyu speechless.

For some reason, Su Ningyu always felt a sense of guilt when the three of them walked together.

Besides guilt, there was also a hint of inferiority.

"Didn't you go to eat?"

Bai Yu asked curiously.

Have I been running into Luo Qingyan a lot more often lately?

Moreover, I felt that she was talking more.

Sometimes they even greet me first.

Could it be... because of their contractual relationship?

However, only the two of them knew about this relationship.

To avoid upsetting Bai Yu, Luo Qingyan didn't reveal this relationship.

"I studied in the classroom for a while, and I was just about to go."

Luo Qingyan spoke softly, her cool, peach-blossom eyes looking at Bai Yu.

"Want to eat together? There aren't many people in the cafeteria at this time."

"Alright...okay."

"Uh-huh!"

Luo Qingyan and Bai Yu chatted back and forth, while Su Ningyu didn't dare to say a word.

Her every smile and gesture was captivating, which made Su Ningyu even more self-conscious about her appearance.

Their relationship seems pretty good...

Am I being a third wheel here?

Thinking of this, Su Ningyu felt even more frustrated.

On her way to the canteen, she quietly stopped.

It's best not to bother them...

Bai Yu and Luo Qingyan took a few steps and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Is someone missing?

Bai Yu looked to the side, but Su Ningyu's figure had already disappeared.

He was startled and turned around to look.

Then they saw Su Ningyu preparing to escape.

No, class monitor, what's wrong with you?

Bai Yu thought to herself, then turned and ran towards Su Ningyu.

"Squad leader, where are you going?"

Su Ningyu was extremely embarrassed after being discovered.

Her speech was erratic, and her eyes darted around.

"I...I'm not hungry..."

"Bai Yu, let's go eat together..."

After saying that, Su Ningyu resolutely left the group and returned to the classroom.

But she could only take two steps before she could no longer move.

A strong resistance came from my wrist, and it felt very heavy.

Su Ningyu turned around and saw that Bai Yu had grabbed her wrist.

Huh? He grabbed his own wrist?

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, her heart began to race.

"Squad leader, you have to eat even if you're not hungry, otherwise I'll be the one who skips out on the bill!"

"Oh... okay..."

Su Ningyu spoke timidly.

"Let's go eat."

"Hey deskmate...can you let go of my hand...?"

Su Ningyu spoke weakly, her face flushed.

It feels so good to be cared for...

Although she wanted to be treated like this more often, Qingyan was still watching.

This is the person Qingyan likes; I can't take him from her...

Even if I wanted to take her, I couldn't beat her; she's so much better than me.

"Uh, sorry."

Upon hearing Su Ningyu's words, Bai Yu blushed and released his grip.

And so, Su Ningyu rejoined the group of three.

Luo Qingyan did not show any signs of discomfort.

Instead, she pulled Su Ningyu between the two of them.

"Xiaoyu, don't run off by yourself!"

She looked at Su Ningyu very seriously and said these words.

Seeing her reaction, Su Ningyu felt a warmth in her heart.

Very good......

Qingyan didn't hate me because of this.

"By the way, Xiaoyu, Baiyu, about that carnival..."

Luo Qingyan asked this question.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's face stiffened.

Oh no, the buff is still stacking!

Just think about it, how many people have already been involved before the carnival even started?

Su Ningyu, Mu Anqi, Bai Ruoxi...

Now if we add Luo Qingyan in, wouldn't that make it a five-person team?

Everyone else is fine, but Bai Ruoxi is just too difficult to deal with.

Just thinking about her younger sister at home gave Bai Yu a headache.

We should take her to see a psychologist as soon as possible; her possessiveness is just too abnormal.

I can't imagine what it would be like if there were rivers of blood on the day of the carnival.

"A garden party? Qingyan, would you like to come with us?"

Su Ningyu blinked and looked at Luo Qingyan.

"Of course not."

Luo Qingyan shook her head and sighed deeply.

Hearing her answer, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, it reduces the stacking of one buff layer.

"Because I am the student council president, I am also responsible for part of the planning of this carnival. I have been too busy lately."

Luo Qingyan rubbed her forehead in distress.

"Furthermore, some activities at the park event were not properly arranged."

What activities will be held at the park? Can you give us a preview?

Bai Yu asked curiously.

"Because I've never participated before, I wanted to ask."

"Well... there are quite a few activities, they're quite fun, and there's a lot of freedom involved."

Luo Qingyan thought back to the interesting scenes from previous garden parties.

"You'll also see lots of cosplayers and a bunch of classmates dressed up in elaborate costumes."

"Let's treat it as a grand social event!"

"And cosplay?"

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, looking very curious.

"Oh? You like it?"

Luo Qingyan's cool and aloof face revealed a thirst for knowledge, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

"Uh... I'm just curious."

Bai Yu touched his nose.

Although I've been living a very independent life for the past few years, I still watch some anime series.

Besides, it's hard not to find it novel to see cosplay at school!
