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

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's face darkened.

Why do you keep wanting to go to my house?

"I've already told you, I'm so scared living alone."

"Hmm..."

Bai Yu was at a loss for words.

Lu Yuxin, who was standing next to him, looked back and forth between the two of them.

The relationship between these two people...

As she was thinking, she heard Mu Anqi speak again.

"Why are you walking with this senior?"

She blinked her bright, watery eyes and looked at Lu Yuxin.

He sounded a little flustered when he spoke.

There's always a feeling that I'm asking a question I already know the answer to.

It seems like everyone has started taking action ever since Xiao Ruoxi left!

"My senior and I are going the same way, so I gave her a ride."

Bai Yu didn't hide anything and explained.

"Uh-huh."

Lu Yuxin nodded as well.

"Then take me back with you too."

Mu Anqi was not discouraged after hearing this, and blinked again before speaking.

The petite figure remained seated on the back of the bicycle, refusing to get up no matter what.

"Where are you being taken?"

"Your home."

"....."

Bai Yu was speechless and scratched the back of his head in frustration.

Mu Anqi remained seated on the back of the bicycle, refusing to give up her seat no matter what.

"So you're sitting in the back, where will the senior sit?"

He sighed softly and began to speak.

I lingered in the back, and there was nowhere for the senior student to sit.

Mu Anqi did not give a direct answer to this question.

Instead, her eyes lit up, and she blinked.

"You agreed to let me come to your house?"

"no."

"Oh, please let me come to your house, I'd be happy to have a meal there."

"no."

Please~

"Get down here right now!"

Bai Yu urged him once again.

"It won't go down!"

Mu Anqi continued to pester him relentlessly.

"You... then I'm not talking to you anymore."

"I'll just stick to you. The less you like me, the more I'll stick to you, until you like me."

She had given up entirely, and let out a soft snort.

Anyway, things can't get any worse than they are now.

"I like you, okay? Come down now."

Bai Yu then said.

"That doesn't count, it's not sincere!"

What constitutes sincerity?

Give me a kiss.

Mu Anqi blinked.

After those words were spoken, the air fell silent.

Bai Yu and Mu Anqi stared at each other, their eyes wide open.

"Get lost!"

"Then I won't leave."

"Hmm..."

Bai Yu sighed and rubbed his forehead, looking at Lu Yuxin beside him.

"Senior, this..."

"It's okay."

Lu Yuxin smiled gently.

She knew that Mu Anqi liked this junior from elementary school.

I just don't know how long this feeling will last.

I don't know if it was temporary hypocrisy or lasting sincerity.

Since he has someone with him...

"Never mind, I won't bother you any longer. Sorry."

Lu Yuxin sighed softly and took a step to leave.

"I'll go back by myself. See you tomorrow..."

After saying that, she walked away.

Seeing her senior's departing figure, Bai Yu panicked.

Ignoring Mu Anqi, who was still lingering in the car, he couldn't help but step forward and reach out his hand.

His subconscious action led him to grab Lu Yuxin's hand and try to keep her there.

"Wait a minute, senior..."

She felt her hand being suddenly grabbed and stopped in her tracks.

The rough hands pulled me in, and the heavy feeling was quite unique.

It seems like this is the first time he's ever taken my hand on his own initiative.

"Let's walk back, or I can take a taxi with you."

After saying that, Bai Yu smiled.

"It's on the way anyway."

"But your friend..."

Lu Yuxin turned around, her eyes showing some hesitation.

"She looks like she's about to cry."

Reminded by her senior, Bai Yu paused for a moment and turned around to look.

Mu Anqi was still sitting on the back of the bicycle.

However, that persistent and clingy behavior disappeared.

She hung her head, biting her lower lip to hold back her tears.

But you could still faintly hear sobbing sounds.

Bai Yu was completely stunned, the gentle voice of her senior classmate still echoing beside her.

"Go and try to win her over. I can tell she likes you."

"Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, Lu Yuxin gently withdrew her hand.

She took a step back, then two steps back, and finally turned and left.

The sound of canvas shoes fading into the distance until it disappeared completely.

An extremely complex emotion surged within me.

Something we could rely on has been taken away.

It's like having a wall to lean against in the midst of a storm surge.

After that wall disappeared, they could only rely on themselves to withstand the fierce winds.

If you can't stand firm, you'll be blown over by the strong wind.

Ugh......

Bai Yu sighed inwardly.

A strange sense of fatigue swept over his body.

He strode towards Mu Anqi, who was standing in front of him with her head down.

"Okay, okay, stop it. I promise you, alright?"

"Really?"

Mu Anqi spoke softly, her voice already choked with emotion.

She looked up, her large, bright eyes glistening with tears.

"real."

Bai Yu sighed and got on the bicycle.

There's just no way to deal with Mu Anqi; she's always sticking to me.

She almost cried when she refused him.

only......

Will my senior be unhappy? I clearly promised her.

Just as I was thinking about it, a pair of hands hugged my waist.

I could feel a distinct sensation on my back.

Mu Anqi hugged Bai Yu tightly, pressing her entire body against his back.

She knew, of course, that the seat she was sitting in originally belonged to that senior student.

If I weren't here today, the person sitting here hugging him would probably be that senior student.

Although I felt a little relieved, I still felt really bad.

It feels like it's been a long time since I've been firmly chosen.

Let's cherish this beautiful moment.

Thinking of this, Mu Anqi hugged him even tighter.

It was so tight that Bai Yu felt a little uncomfortable.

"Hmm...be gentle."

"oh."

Mu Anqi responded softly.

"Don't you have any friends right now? If you're scared to be alone, you can stay in the school dormitory."

He said softly.

"You won't be so lonely with your roommates around."

"But I just want to be with you."

She answered softly, her tone sounding slightly complaining.

"Am I really that good?"

Bai Yu glanced at the road conditions ahead and said casually.

"You are very, very good to me."

"Is that so?"

"Let's be together, okay?"

"I don't really want to talk about this right now."

Bai Yu hesitated for a moment before responding.

"Why? Is it really that important to figure out what liking someone means?"

Mu Anqi said softly, feeling another pang of pain in her heart.

"Then why did you subconsciously try to stop that senior from leaving... what kind of emotion is that?"

"I....."
