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

"No...it's nothing."

Mu Anqi turned her head to the side, her heart pounding wildly.

I accidentally blurted out my confession, and this is how it feels?

Bai Yu gave Mu Anqi a strange look but didn't pay her any more attention.

After a short silence, Mu Anqi's pounding heart finally slowed down.

"Siyu, you answer this question."

The teacher on the podium called on a student, and Mu Anqi saw that it was her best friend.

After secretly cheering on her best friend, Mu Anqi suddenly paused.

Oh dear, I almost forgot.

My best friend told me what I was supposed to do?

Become Bai Yu's dependence!

Although I haven't found time to spend alone with Bai Yu yet, I'll try to build up some goodwill with him beforehand.

After thinking it over, Mu Anqi nudged Bai Yu with her elbow.

Bai Yu, who was teaching with one hand supporting her chin, glanced over.

"what?"

"you can......"

Mu Anqi stopped awkwardly halfway through her sentence.

Oh dear, I acted impulsively and triggered a dialogue before I even thought of what to say.

"What can it do?"

Bai Yu frowned, finding Mu Anqi increasingly strange.

Did I say something too harsh that day and cause her psychological trauma?

Why do you keep saying such nonsensical things all day long?

"Can......"

"You depend on me!"

"You depend on me!"

Mu Anqi really couldn't think of anything else, so she just said it in the most direct, straightforward, and incisive way possible.

Upon hearing this, the two of them were completely speechless.

Bai Yu blinked blankly.

Mu Anqi also winked at Bai Yu.

Eyes wide open.

Four eyes staring at each other.

Bai Yu reached out and touched Mu Anqi's forehead.

His sudden action made Mu Anqi instinctively dodge.

But once that warm, large hand touched his forehead, it didn't move.

Her cute baby face turned red and hot in an instant.

"What...what are you doing?"

"Oh, you have a fever. No wonder you were talking nonsense."

Bai Yu muttered to himself.

After touching her palm, he switched to the back of his hand to feel the temperature of Mu Anqi's forehead.

Yes, it's gotten even hotter.

She must have a fever, otherwise she wouldn't be talking nonsense.

"Bai Yu, Mu Anqi, what are you two doing?"

The chemistry teacher, who was lecturing at the podium, had obviously noticed the two people in the last row of the classroom.

Other teachers might spoil the newcomer, Mu Anqi.

But the veterans won't; they'll scold any student, no matter what kind.

And they even dared to be all lovey-dovey in my class, their eyes practically glued to each other.

After the chemistry teacher's words, everyone in the class turned around at once.

This includes Lin Siyu, who was still standing and answering questions.

Turning around, he saw Mu Anqi and Bai Yu secretly making small moves in the back row, and smiled with relief.

It seems my best friend has finally become smarter.

"Holy crap! Bai Yu, what are you doing?"

"Let go of Mu Anqi!"

That discomfort that many people noticed has resurfaced.

Bai Yu frowned and removed her hand from Mu Anqi's forehead.

"She has a fever."

"ah......"

Mu Anqi's mind went blank; she opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

The veteran chemistry teacher on the stage frowned as he looked at Mu Anqi's baby face.

His complexion was not good; his face was flushed from the heat.

His mouth was still half-open, and he was swaying unsteadily; he was clearly about to faint from the fever.

"Then take her to the school clinic, and come back quickly afterwards."

"Huh?"

Mu Anqi's face turned even redder, not only from the embarrassment of Bai Yu suddenly touching her forehead.

There was also the shame of being publicly shamed by the whole class.

What is all this nonsense?! I don't have a fever!

"Come on, I'll take you there."

Bai Yu sighed softly, stood up, and found Mu Anqi still sitting in her seat, feeling dizzy.

Are you delirious from the fever?

Has it really gotten that serious...?

"Can you still walk? Let me help you across."

Bai Yu spoke softly, and Mu Anqi also looked up.

Two bright red clouds hung on the baby's face.

"Haha..."

Can you help me up? Then just pretend I have a fever.

And so, under the envious gazes of the entire class, Bai Yu helped Mu Anqi out of the classroom.

On her way to the school clinic, Mu Anqi felt extremely ashamed.

You promised to be Bai Yu's support, so why are you relying on Bai Yu now?

"Why did you come to school with a fever?"

"Huh?"

Mu Anqi was speechless, utterly ashamed.

She'd love to get a fever so she could clear up this embarrassing misunderstanding.

"Just to apologize to me?"

Bai Yu said softly, supporting Mu Anqi, who looked unwell.

Upon hearing this, Mu Anqi's eyes lit up.

"Um!"

"Fool."

Unexpectedly, instead of words of gratitude, he received criticism.

What a lousy metaphor! A terrible metaphor!

If Bai Yu hadn't been supporting her, Mu Anqi would have wanted to squat down and draw circles to curse him.

"You're still the same as before, stubborn."

Bai Yu said softly, glancing up. They were almost at the school clinic.

He gently placed Mu Anqi on the chair by the door and began to speak.

"Are you okay on your own? Do you want me to come with you?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Anqi wanted to say "Yes!" a million times.

She now wishes she really had a fever.

But the fever is fake; it's just that my heart is racing, which causes my body temperature to rise.

If Bai Yu were here, the truth would be discovered and we'd be doomed.

At this moment, Mu Anqi's mind was working very fast.

"Go back, I can manage."

Mu Anqi smiled sweetly, two bright blushes still clinging to her doll-like face.

"Really?"

Bai Yu was skeptical.

"real."

"Oh well."

Bai Yu sighed softly, turned around and left.

Mu Anqi sat on the bench in front of the school clinic, watching Bai Yu disappear from sight.

Great! They're finally gone!

As for seeing the school doctor... absolutely impossible!

Find a place to secretly play on your phone, then go back and say you took some medicine, that should be fine!

With these thoughts in mind, Mu Anqi stealthily disappeared from the doorway of the school clinic.

——I am a dividing line——

Without Mu Anqi by her side, Bai Yu felt that the world had become quieter.

Mu Anqi still hadn't returned by noon when school let out.

Seeing that the seats were empty, Bai Yu put her phone and earphones in her pocket and left the classroom.

However, he did not go to the canteen immediately.

The library was quite deserted after school at noon.

Most people rushed into the canteen and attacked the food.

People who come to the library usually want to kill some time and eat during off-peak hours.

However, Bai Yu didn't intend to kill time.

The guitar tabs she had been using were no longer sufficient, so Bai Yu planned to borrow a more complete set.

Buying a copy wouldn't be necessary, since playing the guitar is just one of Bai Yu's hobbies.
