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

"Xiaoyu, why do you seem so happy today?"

On their way home from school, Luo Qingyan and Su Ningyu walked together on the school path.

The two are class monitors in their respective classes and have exchanges in their work in the student council.

They both had excellent grades and had been good friends for a long time.

Luo Qingyan noticed that Su Ningyu's spirits had improved considerably, and her face had become rosier.

"Hmm? Is that so?"

Su Ningyu blinked, a faint smile on her face, giving off a very gentle feeling.

"Yes, Xiaoyu, you seem to be in a much better mood."

Luo Qingyan looked at Su Ningyu carefully and realized that she was indeed different.

Even when he walks, his arms swing back and forth.

"Maybe it's because I had a lot of fun during today's life skills activities."

Su Ningyu recalled what had happened that morning.

Not only did Bai Yu send over sandwiches made by his sister.

Bai Yu also provided meticulous guidance during the cookie-making activity.

He is such a gentle and kind person.

It's just that it doesn't usually show.

"An activity? Making cookies?"

Luo Qingyan suddenly remembered that Su Ningyu seemed to be in the same class as Bai Yu.

"Hmm, Qingyan, how did you know?"

"Because a friend told me."

Luo Qingyan chuckled, feeling incredibly happy.

The cookies Bai Yu made herself are still in her bag.

When I get home, I have to post it on WeChat Moments to show off.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time Bai Yu had personally given herself a gift.

"By the way, Qingyan, what was your relationship with Bai Yu before...?"

Su Ningyu brought up Bai Yu, which piqued Luo Qingyan's interest as well.

Oh? He's already started helping Xiaoyu?

"What's wrong?"

"I've heard that boyfriends and girlfriends are just a way to shield each other?"

Su Ningyu probed in a low voice.

She was quite surprised when she heard Mu Anqi talk about it in class that day.

In Su Ningyu's memory, Bai Yu and Luo Qingyan had been a couple for two years.

The reason for their very little interaction is probably that both of them are rather introverted.

During that time, Su Ningyu didn't think about it at all.

"Yes...that's right, but that relationship is over now."

Luo Qingyan nodded.

"So you broke up?"

"I guess so, Xiaoyu. Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Luo Qingyan said softly, a smile on her face.

It's already good enough that Su Ningyu can talk more.

"Hmm... because I feel like I've gotten to know Bai Yu all over again."

"Oh?" Luo Qingyan became interested.

"He usually seems quiet and reserved; I thought he was an introverted person who didn't want to communicate with others."

Su Ningyu said softly, her eyes holding a somewhat complicated look.

"But lately, he gives me a very different feeling..."

"What's the difference?"

Luo Qingyan's interest grew stronger.

Su Ningyu's smile deepened.

"She's very gentle, considerate, and attentive... She's very good at taking care of a person's feelings."

"Yes, he is a really nice person."

Hearing Su Ningyu praise Bai Yu, Luo Qingyan was also quite happy.

"Anyway, right now I just like him... um..."

As she spoke, Su Ningyu's face suddenly turned red.

Her voice grew softer and softer, tinged with a hint of shyness.

The more Luo Qingyan listened, the more something seemed off. Why did things seem to be going a little awful?

"I have a slight crush on you... I wonder if Qingyan would mind..."

Luo Qingyan was completely dumbfounded after hearing these words.

This is bad!

Originally, Luo Qingyan only wanted them to become friends, because she couldn't bear to see Su Ningyu suffer.

However, she overlooked the most important point.

People like Su Ningyu, who have been deeply hurt by their families of origin, are the most desperate for love.

But Bai Yu happens to be the kind of person who is nice to everyone.

Oh my god! Did I just create a love rival for myself?

Luo Qingyan was starting to get frustrated.

No! We can't let things go this way!

"Actually, Bai Yu isn't entirely that good either."

Luo Qingyan immediately began to guard her food, and secretly spoke ill of Bai Yu to Su Ningyu.

Although she didn't know what flaws Bai Yu had.

"what?"

"Um....."

Luo Qingyan thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with an answer right away.

"He has pretty good relationships with quite a few girls."

"No, I don't think so..."

"have!"

Luo Qingyan said resolutely.

Because there's a girl you're close to standing in front of you.

"All I know is that Mu Anqi, who recently transferred to our class, and he have a good relationship, but they knew each other before."

Su Ningyu muttered to herself.

"Furthermore, I heard from Mu Anqi that she and Bai Yu are just friends..."

"Don't listen to her nonsense!"

Luo Qingyan's voice turned cold.

Luo Qingyan still remembers the declaration of war made at the classroom door that day very clearly.

"what?"

Su Ningyu was still a little confused.

"Forget about her, Xiaoyu, do you have a crush on Bai Yu?"

Luo Qingyan noticed Su Ningyu's somewhat evasive gaze and asked softly.

"I wouldn't say I like it..."

Su Ningyu's voice was very soft, and half of her face was red.

"I have a crush on her... yeah! I have a crush on her!"

Seeing this reaction, Luo Qingyan no longer needed to test her.

I'm 100% sure I've fallen for her, I'm just being stubborn.

No way! I can't let my best friend become my love rival!

Mu Anqi was already a headache, and now there's the troublesome Su Ningyu too.

"Xiaoyu, let me tell you, Bai Yu is actually only suitable to be a friend."

Luo Qingyan spoke earnestly to Su Ningyu.

"As for being lovers..."

Luo Qingyan made a meaningful expression and shook her head.

——I am a dividing line——

"Why didn't you go to the big shopping malls nearby? Why did you have to come to the food street?"

Bai Yu looked at the dense crowd around him and was momentarily at a loss.

There were just too many people at this food street, and most of them were students.

"Why go to a big shopping mall? The prices there must be quite high."

Mu Anqi held Bai Yu's hand with a smile on her face.

"There's no point in spending so much money eating at a fancy department store! I'm the kind of girl who'd be happy to eat instant noodles with you!"

After she finished speaking, Mu Anqi turned around and gave Bai Yu a sweet smile.

"Shouldn't I be with you now?"

Bai Yu pushed up his glasses and sighed.

Suddenly, he noticed someone riding a bicycle coming at a fairly fast speed.

Mu Anqi turned around to look at herself, but couldn't see the bicycle rushing towards her from behind.

"careful."

Bai Yu reacted quickly and pulled Mu Anqi's hand forcefully.

Because of her great strength, Mu Anqi didn't even have time to stand up straight before losing her balance and falling straight towards Bai Yu.

"Ah~"

Mu Anqi was held securely in Bai Yu's arms. He turned around and protected Mu Anqi in his embrace.

"Ding-a-ling~"

Before Mu Anqi could speak, the bicycle bell rang in her ear.

If Bai Yu hadn't intervened, Mu Anqi would have been hit by the bicycle.
