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

As for opening the door and going inside to check, Bai Yu didn't even entertain the idea.

He was still very mindful of his sister's privacy, after all, you can't just enter a girl's room without permission.

What if she has some sleeping habits that her older brother might see...?

Wouldn't that be even more awkward?

After thinking it over, Bai Yu returned to her room.

My phone kept vibrating in my pocket; I knew without a doubt that it was Mu Anqi bombarding me with messages.

Mu Anqi: Can we chat now?

Mu Anqi: I've been waiting for you this late

Mu Anqi: Okay?

Mu Anqi: [Hakimi's expectant emoji]

Bai Yu was so exhausted from reading that she didn't even have the strength to type anymore.

He pressed the voice bar and started speaking while yawning.

"Ah~ I'm so sleepy right now..."

After sending it, Mu Anqi replied instantly.

Mu Anqi: Are you going to sleep now?

Mu Anqi: Okay...

Mu Anqi: I really want to talk to you. We haven't spoken in so long.

This time, she didn't even post her favorite Hakimi emoji.

Bai Yu was so sleepy that she didn't even try to figure out what kind of emotions were hidden behind the words.

All he knew was that he was so sleepy he was about to faint.

He quickly typed two words on the screen, sent them, and then lay down on the bed.

He was already fast asleep without even taking off his glasses.

Bai Yu: Goodnight

Mu Anqi curled up on the large bed, hugging the blankets in her arms, and looked at the two words on the screen.

The room lights were off, and only the light from her phone screen shone on her face.

The phrase "Goodnight" is the most effective way to increase positive feelings during the ambiguous stage of a relationship.

But Mu Anqi couldn't be happy at this moment.

Because she knew Bai Yu didn't want to chat with her anymore.

She turned off her phone screen and put on her headphones.

Bai Yu once said that he listens to music when he is unhappy.

If I'm unhappy, will listening to music make me feel better?

Mu Anqi doesn't usually listen to music; her playlists are all from the popular charts.

The very first note is an extremely sorrowful piano melody.

She had heard this song before; it was Jay Chou's "Said Goodbye".

Mu Anqi curled up in a ball, clutching her blanket, feeling increasingly distressed as she listened.

"Saying goodbye only made me realize I'll never see you again."

......

Bai Yu, you big bad guy! You lied to me!

What happened to the promise that listening to music would make you feel better when you're unhappy?

Why am I getting sadder and sadder as I listen to this?

Mu Anqi's unruly little pearls kept falling onto the pillow with a pattering sound.

People often feel down when it's late at night and everyone is quiet.

Moreover, this was especially true for Mu Anqi, who was already feeling down.

With Emo Xiaoqu's help, Mu Anqi felt even worse.

"That's not fair..."

"We've known each other the longest... but now we have the worst relationship..."

"Luo Qingyan and the class monitor have only just met you... Why are you so nice to them?"

"And Lu Yuxin...you've been practicing guitar for so long, it must be hers..."

"Where did you two hide, and what happened to you?"

"Then... what about me?"

Mu Anqi burst into tears, pouring out all the words that had been suppressed in her heart.

Her parents don't live in Licheng; only her driver, Uncle Li, lives here.

Even his residence is occupied by himself.

I lived alone while studying abroad.

The more she felt lonely, the more Mu Anqi missed the time she spent with Bai Yu.

Ever since she attained enlightenment in the stairwell, Mu Anqi discovered something very cruel.

If you want to make Bai Yu happy, you should stay as far away from her as possible.

Just like he said, if I, who am like a little sun, get too close, I'll burn him.

Mu Anqi clutched the bedsheet, crying even more aggrievedly.

Even the small circle cursing Bai Yu wasn't drawn.

......

"Hey deskmate, what happened to you yesterday? Why were you so sleepy?"

Su Ningyu spoke very softly in Bai Yu's ear.

Bai Yu lay slumped on the table, responding with utter despair.

"Ughhhhh..."

After letting out a mournful wail, it returned to silence.

He arrived at school early in the morning, put his guitar back in the old classroom, and went straight back to his class to sleep.

I was so engrossed in practicing the piano that I was incredibly sleepy this morning.

"Then you should get some sleep. I'll wake you up when the teacher comes."

"Um......"

Su Ningyu also unusually protected her classmate.

Previously, when I saw Bai Yu sleeping, I would simply wake him up.

This time, however, they took the initiative to release the information.

Mu Anqi, who was sitting in the first row, was also sleeping.

She was so sleepy that she never looked up once she arrived in class.

"My dear girl... what's wrong?"

Lin Siyu, who was sitting next to her, nudged her, but there was no response.

Seeing this, Lin Siyu could only sigh.

It's probably because I was feeling emo last night.

You can still see her emo posts on WeChat Moments, made at 3 a.m., along with a catchy emo song.

However, what's strange is...

Lin Siyu turned to look at Bai Yu, who was also sleeping in the last row.

Did they talk all night?

Could it be that Anqi and Bai Yu have broken up?!

Lin Siyu had a bad feeling. Could it be that they didn't follow the strategist's tactics?

We can only ask her when she wakes up.

......

After most of the morning had passed, I finally felt a little more awake.

Bai Yu yawned contentedly and stretched.

"Ah, that feels so good..."

"Hey, have you mastered what we discussed this morning?"

Su Ningyu spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu, who was still stretching, froze.

What did we talk about this morning?

I was having a secret rendezvous with the Duke of Zhou in my dreams, and I can't remember anything at all.

"Oh, this..."

"Then I'll make you something nourishing for lunch."

Su Ningyu smiled gently and held up her notebook.

"I took lots of notes, the kind you can understand even if you're my deskmate!"

"All right!"

Bai Yu sighed deeply and resigned himself to his fate.

But why does that sound so shameful?

What does "the kind of thing I can understand" mean?

Well, the class monitor's academic ability is unmatched by most people.

After waking up, Bai Yu habitually took out her phone and glanced at it.

There was also a message posted by Mu Anqi not long ago.

Mu Anqi: Can I chat with you during break?

Looking at the words, Bai Yu felt a little uncomfortable.

It gave him a very humble feeling.

Although Mu Anqi used to ignore everything, it was quite annoying when she came over and started chattering away.

But this feeling of being inferior is still more unbearable.

Bai Yu: What's wrong with you?

Mu Anqi: Can we chat?

Mu Anqi: 5000 (transfer)
