“Do you know where I found this necklace? At the entrance of the men’s changing room at the swimming pool.”

She was calm and collected. Anyway, he did not see her at that time. As long as she denied it, it was useless for him to doubt her.

“That might be the name of someone else’s girlfriend. He must be very worried about losing this necklace by accident. Why didn’t you give it to the staff?”

“I wanted it for myself.”

Wen Hua: “…”

“I thought it was yours?”

“I don’t have this necklace, and I’ve never been to any swimming pool.”

Xi Mo’s eyes darkened. “Is that so?”

Wen Hua’s eyes flickered. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Lu Lin call out to her. “Hua Hua, let’s go. It’s time for physical education class.”

“Okay,” she replied and said to Xi Mo, “The first class is physical education. Let’s go.”

He stuffed the necklace into the table box and got up.

This physical education class taught table tennis. After the teacher taught the skills for twenty minutes, the students were free to practice on the field.

Wen Hua glanced at Xi Mo, who was playing with someone at a few tables away. The two of them were playing well.

As she watched him play, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She remembered the necklace that he had conveniently put into the table box.

If she did not take it now, when would she do it?

“Lu Lin, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I need to go to the toilet. You and Rong Qiu can play first.”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine. I probably ate too much fruit in the afternoon.”

After greeting Lu Lin, she sneaked back to the classroom.

Xi Mo, who was beside the table, saw the person who had sneaked back to the teaching building. His eyes lit up with interest.

“Brother Xi, you’re not playing anymore?” His companion asked.

He pressed down the cap on his head and waved at the person behind him. “I’m not playing anymore. I have to go catch a thief.”

Wen Hua lay in front of Xi Mo’s desk, her little head almost stuffed into his desk box.

Chewing gum, watch, bluetooth headset, ‘Pride and Prejudice’. Eh, he even read romance novels?

She felt that it was novel and continued to rummage through his desk.

However, she did not find her necklace even after rummaging through it. It was strange, she clearly saw that he had placed it in his desk.

It must be that she did not look carefully and rummaged through it again.

At this time, the person leaning against the back door had one hand in his pocket and the tip of his other finger was twirling the necklace. He looked leisurely at the black head who was rummaging through his desk box seriously.

The person who still could not find the necklace after rummaging through it was a little discouraged. Wen Hua fanned herself manually and thought about it again, could it have fallen to the ground?

She lowered her head and carefully searched every inch of the surrounding ground. All of a sudden, a loud whistle sounded from the back door, followed by a low and magnetic voice. “Where did this thief come from?”

Wen Hua was shocked and raised her head a little more. Her forehead slammed heavily against the table and she immediately cried out in pain.

“You’re going through my table? You have some guts.” The person leaning against the door had his long legs crossed and his fingertips were slowly twirling around the necklace.

At this moment, he was looking at her calmly. His dark eyes seemed to have a smile, but when she looked carefully, it was only pure black.

She endured the pain and immediately stood up.

“I dropped my pen. I thought I might have rolled to the back and was looking for it.”

He snorted and said slowly, “To find a pen, you need to stuff your entire head into my desk box. Did it fly into the desk?”

She pursed her lips. “Then I suddenly saw that you have such a beautiful watch. I couldn’t help but take a second look… the dial is so bright. It must be a Swiss watch. Isn’t it very expensive?”

He put down his crossed long legs and walked towards her.

As they got closer, a cold and refreshing fragrance swept over. Wen Hua’s heart skipped a beat.

“You found the pen?”

This distance was not like when there was a desk between them when they were discussing topics. The two of them had an equal relationship. Right now, there were only the two of them in the classroom. He stood straight in front of her. His undisguised gaze and his tall body made her feel a little suffocated.

“… No, maybe it was cleared away by the cleaners. I’ll buy a new one in the future. I’ll go to the playground first…”

“Do you want me to help you look for it?” The cool voice had a playful tone to it.

“Ah… don’t bother, it’s just a worthless pen…”

“Wen Hua –” Rong Qiu had just come up from downstairs. “I heard that your stomach isn’t feeling well, is it better… ?”

What were the two of them doing?

Everyone else was having physical education class downstairs, but the two of them had gone to the classroom to be alone. Something seemed wrong.

The savior had arrived!

Wen Hua was extremely touched. “It’s nothing, it’s better now. Let’s go down.”

Rong Qiu noticed the familiar necklace and looked twice to make sure. “Eh, isn’t this the necklace you lost?”
