When he met Xu Zi, who was strolling around the school grounds, his heart skipped a beat. “Little cousin, you haven’t been checking on her work lately?”

“I’m on duty this week.”

“I see. Looks like it’s better when you’re on duty.”

Xu Zi was puzzled. “Why? Did you notice any violations of discipline in the school?”

“I don’t know. I heard it from someone. Shen Mu from class one seems to want to fall in love at a young age.”

Shen Mu? Why did this name sound so familiar?

She remembered now. Wasn’t he the boy who was with Wen Hua every day?

Xu Zi’s expression froze. Could it be that he was up to something again?

“I’ll go take a look.”

Fu Ming’s eyes were smiling. “I’ll go with you.”

Outside the class window, a man and a woman were looking fiercely at the two people who were discussing their problems. Their eyes looked as if they wanted to eat people.

Lu Yu stretched and saw Xu Zi and Fu Ming looking at Wen Hua’s table with hostility. She immediately motioned to her.

Wen Hua looked in the direction of her chin with a puzzled expression. She was almost shocked. Xu Zi was looking straight at them from outside the window with a warning look in her eyes.

She coughed. “Shen Mu, let’s call it a day. We can do the questions together another day.”

Shen Mu saw Xu Zi and knew that Wen Hua was afraid of losing points. He stood up sensibly and said, “Alright, go ahead. This milk is for you.”

He placed a bottle of milk on her table. When he turned around and met Fu Ming’s hostile gaze, he did not take it to heart.

Wen Hua spoke for half an hour and her throat was dry. She had just inserted a straw to take a sip of milk when someone kicked her chair.

Xi Mo moved his lips. “How do I solve this question?”

She put down the milk and took his paper to read. Just as she was thinking, he raised his chin. “I’m thirsty.”

She was slightly stunned and followed his line of sight. It was her milk.

“There’s water in the water dispenser.”

“There’s no cup.”

After hesitating for a while, Wen Hua passed the milk to him. “This was given to me by someone else too, but if you don’t have a cup, you can drink it. I’ll go to the front to get some water later.”

Xi Mo took a sip of the milk and commented indifferently, “It doesn’t taste good.”

Wen Hua: “…”

“Throw away that bottle later. It’s probably spoiled. Bring me a bottle tomorrow.”

“But I’m not planning to go to the supermarket today.”

Xi Mo replied, “I’ll pay for your trip.”

“No need. Rong Qiu should be going to the supermarket. I’ll go with her tonight.”

She would take it as thanking him for helping her teach the bad guy a lesson twice.

She lowered her head. “Then, let’s start with the topic. This topic…”

Her voice suddenly stopped. She looked at his chest and sure enough, she saw a shiny necklace.

He actually hung her necklace around his neck?

Moreover, her name was on it. It felt strange.

“Can you return the necklace to me?”

Xi Mo glanced at her and hid the necklace in his collar. “Come and get it.”

Wen Hua’s ears turned red. He really looked like a hooligan.

How could someone be so cold and rude?

“If you like it, just get someone to make it. This necklace is very important to me. Give it to me, I’ll bring you breakfast for a week.”

“Do I look like someone who can’t afford breakfast?”

“You don’t look like someone who can’t even afford a necklace. This necklace is useless to you.”

Xi Mo: “Don’t I still have a way to amuse you? Giving it to you directly is so boring.”

“…”

“Then how can you return it to me?”

“Didn’t I say it before? Tell me everything you saw at the swimming pool that day. Then you can come and get it yourself.”

Wen Hua paused for a moment and called out to him, “Xi Mo. .”

He fell silent.

“Help me take care of it on properly. Don’t lose it, or else…”

“Or else what?”

“I won’t teach you to do the questions anymore.”

Xi Mo chuckled and said casually, “Ah, I got it.”

Early on Saturday morning, the entire class boarded the bus and prepared to go for an autumn outing.

Wen Hua put on her earphones and leaned against the window to doze off. It was too early. She was supposed to catch up on her sleep on the weekend, but everyone got up at six in order to go out and play. In addition to the late night chat in the dormitory, she was still sleepy.

Rong Qiu did not know what she had eaten. Before boarding the bus, she had said that she needed to go to the toilet, but she had not arrived yet. The bus would leave in five minutes.

Just as she was hesitating whether she should call her, the seat beside her suddenly sank, followed by a refreshing smell.

Her nerves froze, and she suddenly opened her eyes. What she saw was Xi Mo’s handsome face.

“There’s someone here,” she reminded.

“Is the sitting arrangement fixed?”

“That’s not it.”

Rong Qiu just got into the car at this time. When she saw the campus belle sitting beside Wen Hua, she tactfully said, “It’s okay, you can sit. I’ll sit in the back.”

The smile and excitement in her eyes almost could not be stopped. She was too excited. She did not expect Xi Mo to be so proactive!

The couple that she had secretly cheered on seemed to be really starting to show signs.

She had never seen him so close to any girl before.

It was still her Hua Hua who was charming. Thinking about it, she nodded her head in satisfaction.

It was late autumn in Lucheng. There was some mist in the early morning. Seeing the trees on both sides of the road retreating, Wen Hua fished out her school bag.

“Have you had breakfast?”

Xi Mo leaned against the back and closed his eyes to rest, letting out a lazy grunt.

She took small bites of breakfast alone. After she was full, she realized that the students who had been in high spirits earlier in the carriage were sleepy and drowsy. While the person beside her was breathing evenly and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Wen Hua took a light breath and quietly looked at him.

His eyebrows were really thick. His natural eyelashes were slightly drooping over his eyelids, his nose bridge was tall and straight, and his thin lips were light red. It was like a colorful ceiling.

His mother must be a beauty.

She had always admired beautiful things. After quietly looking at them for a while, she took out her phone and turned on the silent mode. She took a few pictures of his enlarged facial features, then, she leaned over to admire her work.

She clicked her tongue in her heart. As expected, being handsome was the prerequisite. Just a few pictures were enough to fill her with a sense of victory. The cold and clear facial features by the car window were like travel portraits in literary essays.

After admiring the handsome man enough, she leaned against the window and looked at the scenery along the way. After a while, she was also sleepy. She leaned her head back slightly and fell asleep.

It was not that Xi Mo did not know about her little tricks, but he was indeed sleepy. He did not pay attention to what she was doing. When he woke up, his left shoulder was slightly heavy.

Glancing sideways, he saw a dark head resting on his shoulder, sound asleep.

Her brows were slender, and the mole of tears was especially obvious around her fair eyes. Her breathing was light, as if she had used him as a pillow.

Xi Mo frowned slightly. He wanted to reach out and push her. He raised his hand several times but did not do so.

Wen Hua’s eyelashes trembled, as if she was about to wake up. He lowered his hand and closed his eyes.

The person who had just woken up realized that she was sleeping on his shoulder. She was shocked and immediately lost all sleepiness.

Wen Hua glanced at the person beside her. He was quite a good sleeper, and he was still not awake.

Her gaze moved to his neck and looked at the silver chain that had not yet been exposed. Her heart moved.

Didn’t she say that she would take it with her own ability?

Now was her chance.

She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. There was no response. Very good.

She held her breath and slowly inched closer to him. Her eyes glanced at him from time to time, afraid that he would wake up. Her heartbeat was also a little fast.

Finally, after careful probing, her index finger touched the slightly cold silver chain.

Most of the chain was hidden in her collar.

She took a quiet breath and used both hands to slowly lift the chain around his neck.

Gently, the chain was pulled out of his clothes bit by bit.

Looking at his sleeping face, she prayed in her heart.

The tips of her fingers that were undoing the chain were slightly trembling. A moment of carelessness, the slightly cool fingertips brushed across the fragile skin on his neck. At the same time, the adam’s apple that was right in front of her rolled up and down.
