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

When the call with the class monitor suddenly went through, I already felt something was wrong.

Hearing that I couldn't treat them to hot pot, I was already pretty much done for.

It's most likely that the class monitor's beastly family stole her wages.

She's a simple person by nature.

But she still pretends to be strong, which contradicts her personality.

The higher the hardness, the easier it is to break.

And now, we have reached such a critical point.

Bai Yu adjusted her breathing while patting Su Ningyu's back.

"It's alright, class monitor, it's nothing."

"Relax..."

Even though he had already tried to comfort her, Su Ningyu in his arms was still sobbing softly.

Bai Yu could understand this kind of gloomy thinking.

After all, he had experienced such dark moments before.

It is only because I have been rained on that I know how to hold an umbrella for others.

Thank goodness I made it in time...

Fortunately, the squad leader's phone didn't have noise cancellation, so he could hear the loud wind.

In this area, the only place with such strong winds is this park.

"My deskmate..."

Su Ningyu felt that moment of warmth, and tears streamed down her face.

"Why are you so good to me...?"

You deserve to be treated well.

Bai Yu spoke softly, gently patting her to soothe her emotions.

"I can't treat you to hot pot..."

"It's okay."

"You've all been so good to me, but I can't..."

"Squad leader, stop talking."

Bai Yu gently interrupted her.

I gently released my grip and took a half step back, and saw her face streaked with tears.

He took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and gently wiped away her tears.

But Su Ningyu seemed not to want to trouble him, and hurriedly wiped away her tears with her hand.

"sorry......"

"Why should I apologize?"

Bai Yu took her hand and whispered something.

"You didn't do anything wrong."

He said this while wiping away his tears with a tissue.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble..."

"It would be troublesome without you."

After wiping away her tears, Bai Yu pulled Su Ningyu to sit on a bench.

In this situation, we must first calm her down.

If this emotion is not eradicated, it will only lie dormant in one's heart.

It might suddenly resurface and flare up again any day.

She was just a girl who was persecuted by a family that favored sons over daughters.

Sitting on a park bench, a pleasant evening breeze is blowing.

Su Ningyu sat there, feeling uneasy.

Those thick, heavy hands held me tightly, and they felt warm.

The warmth of her body told her something:

How stupid it is to have suicidal thoughts.

The two sat there for a while before she finally spoke.

"I'm sorry, deskmate..."

She was about to continue speaking when Bai Yu interrupted her.

"Class monitor, I already told you you don't need to apologize to anyone. There's nothing I can do when emotions run high."

After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment.

"I know a little about your family's situation..."

"But Bai Yu, you..."

Su Ningyu spoke anxiously, but was interrupted once again.

"It seems the store manager already told you, right?"

This time, however, he did not avoid it.

He simply responded to her with a relaxed smile.

"Actually, I used to be considered a second-generation rich kid, but things are different now."

"I did go through some really tough times, just like you..."

"Yeah, that's the kind of silly idea I have."

"But look at me now, I'm still perfectly fine, aren't I?"

After saying that, Bai Yu smiled again.

"I've been through the same pain as you."

"However, those things that caused us pain are in the past."

"Squad leader, this will all pass."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took two lollipops out of his pocket.

One of them was placed in Su Ningyu's hand.

"Eat candy."

Bai Yu's gentle voice rang in my ears.

Su Ningyu stared blankly at the lollipop in her hand.

The lollipop in front of her is an hourglass she uses to count down the days of her life.

I wanted to savor the last bit of sweetness in the world, and then end my painful life like this.

It was Bai Yu who pulled me back.

I gave myself another lollipop...

"Hey, squad leader, just think of it as if you've died once. Life has to go on, right?"

Su Ningyu looked at the lollipop, then at Bai Yu beside her.

He had already unwrapped the candy and was smiling as he ate a lollipop.

She silently unwrapped the packaging and put it in her mouth.

sweet......

If the previous one was an hourglass counting down the days of life.

Then this one will be a new sprout breaking through the soil and reborn.

Just consider it like dying once and starting a new life!

......

"So, class monitor, you've run away from home, haven't you?"

Bai Yu blinked and asked softly.

"I don't want to go back..."

The thought of her family made Su Ningyu feel terrible.

They always faced discrimination and oppression at home.

It doesn't resemble a safe haven at all.

"Then we won't go back."

"Where can I go...?"

Su Ningyu spoke softly.

"Hmm... You can come to my house first. My sister is out competing, you can sleep in my room."

Bai Yu touched his nose and spoke a little shyly.

This looks exactly like abducting an innocent young girl!

Forget it, let's just go ahead and turn.

Given the class monitor's family background...

Being abducted is considered a matter of chance.

"Is it really possible?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Bai Yu, you're being way too nice to me..."

Su Ningyu spoke in a low voice.

"Am I really worth it? I'm not smart, and I'm not good-looking..."

"Eh? Eh? Eh!"

Bai Yu interrupted her very seriously.

"First of all, class monitor, you're not stupid! Secondly, you're really good-looking!"

"Is it to comfort me?"

Su Ningyu said softly, her tone filled with inferiority.

"Of course not!"

Bai Yu shook his head.

"He's a little bit slow, but you can't call him stupid. In fact, he's a cute kind of slow."

"Also, class monitor, I've been wanting to talk about your hairstyle for a long time! It's seriously ruining your looks!"

"My mom taught me how to do it..."

"Tch, what kind of taste is that?"

Bai Yu made a comment and then reached out his hand to Su Ningyu.

After removing the hair tie that held her ponytail, her not-so-long hair finally fell loose.

Su Ningyu held her breath and closed her eyes slightly.

She was very careful and waited quietly.

Because she had always done her younger sister's hair before, Bai Yu was extremely skilled at it.

I tidied her hair up a bit and left some bangs.

Finally, tie up the remaining excess parts... Perfect!
