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

"When? Yesterday."

Luo Qingyan said slowly and deliberately.

"How is that possible!"

"Why can't it be? I went home with him yesterday."

"He has a lovely younger sister, about the same height as you, right?"

Luo Qingyan smiled and didn't rush to leave.

Let's give our competitors a warning first.

If I could give up here, that would be the best outcome.

"Hmm."

Mu Anqi gritted her teeth, feeling as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat.

Indeed, what Luo Qingyan said was true.

But will Bai Ruoxi really let her and Bai Yu get together?

Although I didn't say it explicitly when I ate at his house that day.

But they still managed to overhear the siblings' conversation.

Would she really allow other men to get close to her brother?

Seeing Mu Anqi's discomfiture, Luo Qingyan's cool and aloof face revealed a smile.

The best outcome would be to completely defeat her here and dispel her feelings for Bai Yu.

"And his sister even calls me sister-in-law..."

"You made all of this up!"

Upon hearing Luo Qingyan's next words, Mu Anqi spoke decisively.

I was initially quite anxious, but now I understand completely.

If Bai Ruoxi were willing to call her sister-in-law, I'd just die right here.

"Ding~"

Just as the tension between the two was building, the school bell rang.

Luo Qingyan sighed softly and turned to go upstairs first.

"If you don't believe me, then don't. Anyway, he's my boyfriend now."

"I won."

After saying those two sentences, Luo Qingyan disappeared without a trace.

Mu Anqi was left standing there, clenching her fists, itching with anger.

How could Bai Yu possibly agree to someone like her?

What do they have in common?

Are I familiar with Bai Yu?

We've been together since we were little...

Childhood sweethearts...

The thought of those four words made Mu Anqi feel uneasy again.

Large tears fell again.

Even though class had already started, Mu Anqi still didn't go back.

Instead, she walked to a stairwell leading to the underground parking lot.

Mu Anqi squatted down on the stairs, hugging her knees and sobbing.

She suddenly discovered a blind spot that she had always overlooked.

During the five years they were separated, she still wanted to interact with Bai Yu in the same way they used to.

Because in my subconscious, that's how Bai Yu should be.

He would definitely like himself this way.

However, it is counterproductive.

The changes in his family life altered so many things.

He is no longer the Bai Yu he used to be.

But what about me? If I just want to make myself happy, isn't that too unfair to Bai Yu?

Thinking of this, Mu Anqi's expression became even more pained.

I always felt he was a block of wood, and he never understood his own metaphors.

She always thought that such intimate contact could awaken the stirrings in his heart.

It was probably because of her self-righteousness that he became increasingly distant from her.

Perhaps Bai Yu would prefer the way Luo Qingyan and Su Ningyu interact.

It is neither ostentatious nor oversteps its boundaries.

I would only use the excuse of being childhood sweethearts to make him experience unhappy things in exchange for my own happiness.

So, is what I did really because I like him?

Mu Anqi seemed to have realized something, and her mind had begun to change.

In that stairwell, she attained enlightenment.

Without those affected behaviors, Bai Yu would have been disgusted.

So now his deskmate will still be me, not the class monitor.

But... this Luo Qingyan.

Mu Anqi gritted her teeth and stood up.

If I were to question Bai Yu about whether this matter was true, then I would truly have lost.

If Bai Yu really fell in love with Luo Qingyan and was willing to be with her...

I might not interfere anymore...

Mu Anqi only imagined what it would be like for them to be together.

We stroll hand in hand, chatting endlessly, watching every sunrise and sunset.

Eating the same ice cream, sharing a kiss amidst the bliss, and then going to a hotel...

Do not! ! !

This absolutely must not be allowed to happen.

Luo Qingyan said that Bai Yu is now her boyfriend, which is most likely due to that contractual relationship.

What else can she do besides use money to control others?

I wouldn't even stoop to using that trick.

If I were to be direct now and tell Bai Yu "I like you," would it still be too late?

Mu Anqi dusted off her pants and walked out of the stairwell.

......

By the time Mu Anqi returned to the classroom, ten minutes of class had already started.

As Wang Meng was explaining English grammar on the podium, she caught a glimpse of Mu Anqi standing at the front door out of the corner of her eye.

"Anqi? Where did you go?"

When class started, Wang Meng could still see her empty seat.

I only asked my classmate briefly and didn't ask any more questions.

"Teacher, I just went to the school clinic."

Mu Anqi spoke in a calm tone, trying her best to disguise the fact that she had just cried.

Before returning to the classroom, she even washed her face.

It was to prevent others from knowing that I had been crying.

"Oh? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Yes, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable."

Mu Anqi muttered.

I feel very uncomfortable inside.

How could they feel comfortable being attacked head-on by Luo Qingyan?

"So...should I ask for leave to go home?"

"No need, thank you, teacher."

"Then hurry back to your seat. If you're not feeling well, lie down and rest for a bit."

Class teacher Wang Meng is quite humane, not as harsh as other teachers.

As soon as Mu Anqi returned to her seat, her best friend Lin Siyu rushed over and asked her something.

"Anqi, Anqi, where have you been?"

Although she had a vague idea that it was related to Bai Yu, she still felt it was better to ask her directly.

As a strategist, one needs to gather more information in order to formulate the next strategy.

"I think I've attained enlightenment."

Mu Anqi murmured.

"Enlightenment?"

"Let's talk about it after class."

Lin Siyu immediately sensed something was different after Mu Anqi said those words.

Normally, Mu Anqi would have pulled her aside to ignore the risks and continue chatting.

The main idea is to do whatever you want.

They're actually following the rules now?

Halfway through the class, Mu Anqi remained quiet and did not disturb others.

On the contrary, Chen Hao, who was sitting in the row behind them, was restless.

Even after being severely beaten, he was still full of bravado.

"Brother Hao, what happened to those bruises on your hands?"

"Oh! Since you asked, then sit down!"

Even while the teacher was lecturing, Chen Hao continued to exude his heroic spirit.

"That kid Bai Yu, he was really..."

"You know, I couldn't hold back and we started fighting."

"That kid has no sportsmanship. I had my fist in front of his nose, but I didn't hit him."

"After all, we should stop when we've made our point; we should uphold martial ethics."

As Chen Hao was speaking, he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him.

It's still the kind of feeling where your whole body feels cold.

Turning my head, I saw Mu Anqi sitting in the first row.

Her lovely face was expressionless as she stared at him.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hao was overjoyed. Had he finally been attracted by my charm?
