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

"I saw you sneak away before school was over."

Mu Anqi shook her head.

"You're following me?"

Bai Yu's lips twitched, still sitting on the windowsill with the guitar in her arms.

It's a little disorienting that my own little haven has been discovered.

"How can you call that stalking? That's such a rude way to put it."

Mu Anqi pouted.

"What should it be called?"

Bai Yu said casually, listening to the sound of the wind outside the half-open window.

He had a vague feeling that his "friend" was still waiting for him.

"I was just wandering around aimlessly, and this is where I ended up..."

"Then let's hurry back."

Bai Yu sighed softly and reopened the guitar tabs.

"don't want."

Mu Anqi got off the table in front of Bai Yu, crossed her arms and looked at him.

Why are you so eager to get rid of me?

I want to be alone for a while.

Bai Yu said softly, turning page after page of the guitar tabs.

"I don't want you to be alone, so I've decided..."

Mu Anqi snorted and jumped onto the windowsill next to Bai Yu.

"I'm not leaving! I'll stay right next to you."

"Whatever, but don't sing out loud and mess things up."

Bai Yu pretended not to care and spread the sheet music out on her lap.

It's not that Mu Anqi sings badly.

Every time she sings, Bai Yu's mind becomes particularly chaotic.

The melody played was like a blank sheet of paper, and Mu Anqi's singing suddenly drew patterns on the paper.

She might have just drawn it casually, but Bai Yu would care a lot about it.

The blank sheets of paper covered with beautiful patterns make Bai Yu unable to resist developing a dependence on the painter.

But the past has made Bai Yu no longer crave or depend on anything.

To prevent dependency, we need to address the root cause.

"Tch, my singing is so beautiful, why don't you listen?"

Mu Anqi gave a soft hum and listened to Bai Yu's words.

When Bai Yu was playing the guitar, he really didn't say a word.

A gentle breeze blew in through the half-open window, but it couldn't pull the two of them together.

So, Mu Anqi opened the other half of the window.

The piano music drifting in from outside the window became even more distinct.

Mu Anqi looked outside with some confusion.

Who is playing the piano? And they're even playing along with Bai Yu.

Although Bai Yu played clumsily, Mu Anqi enjoyed listening to him.

It has a youthful, innocent feel that leaves a lasting impression.

The warm evening breeze made Mu Anqi feel comfortable.

She turned her head to look at Bai Yu, her big, bright eyes filled with complex emotions.

I wish I could lean on his shoulder and listen to him play the guitar...

After playing a few songs, Bai Yu put away his guitar and sheet music, placing them in a corner.

"Oh? You're not playing anymore?"

Mu Anqi was still not satisfied.

"It's almost time, I need to pick up my sister from school."

Bai Yu glanced at his watch and jumped down from the windowsill.

Mu Anqi followed closely behind and jumped down from the windowsill as well.

"Sigh, I haven't been back here in ages. I'd like to stroll around the food street. Can you come with me?"

Mu Anqi helped Bai Yu close the window, and said at the same time.

"Why do you need me to come with you? Can't you do it yourself?"

Bai Yu said calmly, preparing to take out her earphones.

"It's so boring being alone. The only person I'm even somewhat familiar with is you."

Mu Anqi pouted and looked at Bai Yu with a pitiful expression.

That pitiful look is just too irresistible.

This gave Bai Yu the feeling that it would be a mistake to reject her.

"Uh... tomorrow, I promised Ruoxi today."

Bai Yu felt a little embarrassed and realized she should try to have less contact with Mu Anqi.

After studying abroad, she came back with a bunch of tricks for acting cute and pitiful.

Unfortunately, I'm the one who falls for this trick the most, and if things continue like this, I'll be manipulated sooner or later.

"Okay~"

Mu Anqi muttered to herself, following closely behind Bai Yu.

"Who is playing the piano with you?"

"have no idea."

"have no idea?"

Mu Anqi was a little surprised.

"About half a year ago, whenever I came here to play guitar, there would be a piano to accompany me."

Bai Yu stopped in front of a beverage vending machine.

"Hehe, could it be that some music student has a crush on you?"

Mu Anqi revealed a mischievous smile.

"You're overthinking it. I don't even know if it's a man or a woman."

Bai Yu remained silent, then bought a bottle of jasmine honey tea and started drinking it.

It has a sweet taste, and it also carries the fragrance of jasmine.

I've always loved this flavor.

"Why don't you go take a look?"

Mu Anqi poked Bai Yu's kidney.

Perhaps it had become muscle memory, because Bai Yu once again dodged the attack with a twist of his waist, just like a young boy.

Why would I look at her?

"Want to have a chance encounter? Want a sweet romance?"

Mu Anqi still had a mischievous smile on her face, which looked especially adorable on her doll-like face.

"Well......"

"Don't you ever think about being in a relationship?"

Mu Anqi pouted, walked in front of Bai Yu, and turned around.

She walked backwards, looking at Bai Yu's face.

Dating...

Bai Yu fell into deep thought.

Luo Qingyan had already shown her this feeling of being in love once.

To be honest, it's pretty good.

"fool."

Seeing that Bai Yu hadn't said anything, Mu Anqi snorted and, taking advantage of Bai Yu's inattention, snatched the jasmine honey tea from his hand.

What are you doing?

Bai Yu's face darkened when he discovered that his water had been stolen.

"I'm thirsty, what's wrong with having a drink?"

Mu Anqi, acting like a rogue, took several big gulps of the jasmine honey tea she had snatched.

After drinking it, Mu Anqi's face was still flushed.

She put the lid back on and handed it back to Bai Yu.

This is the only way we can kiss indirectly...

"You... never mind, I'll give you the whole bottle."

Bai Yu's lips twitched, and she returned the jasmine honey tea to Mu Anqi.

"What? You're disgusted with me?"

"Men and women are different; let's avoid suspicion."

"You don't consider me a buddy anymore? Our close friendship..."

Mu Anqi said angrily, her cute face looking like a punching bag.

"I'm going to pick up my sister, you should go home soon."

Before they knew it, the two of them had returned to the classroom.

The classroom was empty except for two lonely bags lying in the back row.

Bai Yu picked up her schoolbag and turned to leave.

But the next moment, Mu Anqi grabbed his wrist.

"what?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let me leave?"

Mu Anqi muttered to herself.

Bai Yu: ?

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu even wondered if she had lost a piece of her memory.

Why are you saying such nonsensical things? Did you really get a fever-reducing injection?

But Mu Anqi quickly offered her explanation.

Mu Anqi picked up the bottle of jasmine honey tea that Bai Yu had given her.

"Haven't you heard that saying?"

Which sentence?

"I offer you jasmine, urging you not to leave."

"Wow, you're quite cultured? I really underestimated you."

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, surprised.

This immediately made Mu Anqi furious.

You blockhead! Do you even understand the concept of atmosphere?!

"You idiot! Get out of here!"

Mu Anqi blushed, having finally found a chance to be alone.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu was completely oblivious to romance.

"Alright then, be careful on your way back."

Bai Yu put on her headphones, turned around, and left.

He didn't say another word, which made Mu Anqi feel extremely wronged.

She turned into that little pushover again, squatting on the ground drawing circles.

What a stupid analogy! What a terrible analogy! What a blockhead!

Can't you understand my hints?
