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

After her guess was confirmed, Lu Yuxin sighed softly.

"That's certainly possible. It's a hot pot restaurant owned by my relative."

"That girl...have you been helping her all along?"

Lu Yuxin blinked and asked softly.

"I guess so. But we have to consider his pride. I hope you can keep this a secret."

Bai Yu nodded and said very seriously.

"no problem."

She nodded, her eyes suddenly becoming complicated.

"But...aren't you tired of always being nice to others?"

"I?"

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then pointed to himself.

"Of course it's not tiring, life is easy and carefree."

"Tsk, I take back what you said about being a good boy."

Lu Yuxin chuckled softly.

"Why?!"

"I like to lie."

"Oh, this..."

"Just kidding, you still need to rest."

Lu Yuxin spoke gently, raising her hand slightly.

She gently touched Bai Yu's cheek, her slender fingertips tracing across his eye bags.

"Dark circles and eye bags have appeared... I don't remember having them before."

Their voices became very soft.

Within this lightness lies a touch of heartache.

"Oh? Is that so?"

He forced a smile, though he was incredibly nervous inside.

Why is the senior student standing so close?

But this kind of gentle concern... is quite touching.

"Okay, look how red your face is."

Lu Yuxin chuckled and withdrew her hand.

"Take a rest."

"Huh? Am I blushing?"

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then touched her face.

It's not hot at all.

"Fool."

Lu Yuxin smiled.

"Hmm..."

Bai Yu immediately gathered her scattered thoughts and continued looking at the guitar tabs.

I haven't even started playing it since I came in.

He was looking at the guitar tabs, but she was looking at him.

Her eyes were full of heartache.

......

The first time I saw that little guy was a long time ago.

"Yuxin, you'll be flying abroad to participate in a competition next year. Uncle congratulates you in advance!"

"Yes, you really inherited your mother's musical talent! When will you reach her level?"

"Oh, it's just a matter of time. She has the talent, and she also has Teacher Luo to teach her."

In a private room of a restaurant in Licheng, various sounds echoed.

The man addressed as Teacher Luo politely raised his glass.

"What a pity. If Yuxin had been willing to work harder, the time to success would have been even shorter."

"Did you hear that, Yuxin? Keep it up!"

"Uh-huh."

As the main character of the dinner, Lu Yuxin simply nodded.

"Come, come, let's toast your elders."

"I can't drink much..."

"Just going through the motions, just going through the motions."

"All right."

After the drinking and conversation, Lu Yuxin instinctively felt tired of the place.

Although they are all supposed relatives and teachers, I don't want to stay at all.

Halfway through the meal, Lu Yuxin already felt bored.

The elders were still drinking, boasting and bragging to each other at length.

Once everything was completely liberalized, the children they brought were left unattended.

Several children were playing and running around in the private room.

This chaotic feeling made Lu Yuxin want to escape even more.

I had just stepped out of the private room and turned around when I saw a little girl lying on the ground in a corridor.

There were no adults around, and the little girl just kept crying loudly.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yuxin was slightly moved.

She was about to go over and help the little girl up, but someone else had already done it.

He was a boy of sixteen or seventeen, wearing the work clothes here.

He bent down and helped the little girl up.

"Little friend, where are your parents?"

"I have no idea....."

The little girl wiped away her tears, her voice still trembling with sobs.

"Don't cry, don't cry, brother will give you candy."

The boy smiled and took a lollipop out of his pocket.

The lollipop was placed in the little girl's palm, and she stopped crying and making a fuss.

"Thank you, brother."

Upon seeing this, Lu Yuxin smiled slightly.

The boy's act of kindness left a slight impression on her.

Suddenly, an untimely voice rang out.

"New guy! Where did you go?!"

"Oh! I'm here!"

The boy immediately stood up to respond, then turned back to look at the little girl, still looking worried.

He was just about to speak when the urging came again.

"Hurry up and serve the food! Where is everyone?!"

"They're here!"

The boy stood up anxiously, looking around.

He breathed a sigh of relief when the little girl's parents were found.

Why did you make my daughter cry?

"I don't....."

"Hurry up and serve the food!"

The noisy surroundings made the boy even more anxious.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and leave without explaining to his parents.

The parents were still furious and wanted to file a complaint.

But the little girl tugged at him, her childish voice uttering a tender sound.

"Dad, that older brother is a good person."

"Don't keep getting scammed. There are no good people like that. Let's go back."

"oh......"

"Who gave you the candy?"

"That older brother."

"Throw it away quickly!"

"No! Waaaaaah..."

The little girl was pulled into their private room by her parents, who also casually threw out the lollipop the boy had given her.

The lollipop just lay there quietly.

Having witnessed the whole thing, Lu Yuxin quietly walked over.

She bent down and picked up the lollipop.

What was thrown away was not just an orange-flavored lollipop, but also a boy's pure kindness.

Kindness should not be casually discarded.

Lu Yuxin spoke softly and put the lollipop in her pocket.

After this little incident, she returned to her private room.

The children were still chasing and playing, while the adults were still exchanging polite drinks.

This dinner party was full of hypocrisy, not as pure and simple as a lollipop.

She sat in her seat, unwrapped the lollipop, and quietly ate it.

It tastes like oranges, which is pretty good.

Suddenly, a noise came from the preparation room of the private room.

"Hey new guy, I can't carry this lobster sashimi in, could you help me carry it inside?"

The waiter in charge of the private room spoke to a boy who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Oh well."

"Forgot what to call her? Call her Sister Li, don't be so rude."

"Okay, Sister Li!"

The boy carried the exquisite lobster sashimi, the fresh lobster meat stacked on top of ice pillars.

He carefully moved into the private room, afraid that his carelessness might cause the icicle to collapse.

If it falls off, then two weeks of work will have been for nothing.

Lu Yuxin looked up and saw the boy in front of her.

She did have something she wanted to say to him.

But looking at how focused and nervous he was...

just forget it.
