"What are you looking at?" Qin Chengyao asked while driving.
Ji Siyue almost instinctively hid her phone behind her. "It's nothing. I'm just scrolling through Weibo."
When she hid the phone behind her, she accidentally touched the screen and liked a Weibo post that said they had a great chemistry as a CP. This like caused an instant stir on Weibo.
"The principals themselves are here to confirm the relationship!"
"I'm sold on this CP. Thank you!"
"Maybe this is love. I really love this CP. And they're classmates. Does it mean they've been... "
In just one minute, her phone was bombarded with notifications. Ji Siyue quickly took out her phone. After looking through it for a while, she realized the trouble she had caused. Her face turned pale.
Just then, they reached a traffic light. Qin Chengyao picked up his phone and took a look. After a while, he smiled with curved eyebrows.
"So you liked that Weibo post."
As soon as he said this, Ji Siyue immediately got flustered.
"You have to believe me. I really didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted to hide the phone behind me and accidentally liked it."
After she said this, it seemed that his face darkened a bit.
After a long while, he said softly, "So you don't actually want to see such news, right?"
"It's not that I don't want to see it. I'm just afraid it'll make you uncomfortable... After all, there's nothing between us. If they keep saying such things, I'm afraid in the future..." Ji Siyue lowered her head and spoke in a soft voice.
"You don't need to be afraid of those words. You must be really nervous now... Actually, you don't need to be nervous. Let's just go with the flow like before." Qin Chengyao didn't know what else to say to this kind of Ji Siyue.
She hadn't done anything wrong, but why did she seem like a guilty person?
After a while, Ji Siyue suddenly asked,
"If we just go with the flow, what will happen in the end?"
"Maybe we'll really end up like what's on Weibo." Qin Chengyao also smiled.
This silly question finally eased the atmosphere between them.
When they got back to school, she attracted a lot of attention on the campus. Some people recognized her as the Ji Yueji who became famous at the carnival and came up to ask for her autograph. Soon, she was surrounded tightly.
This time, Qin Chengyao wasn't by her side.
Ji Siyue had a bit of social phobia. Looking at so many people surrounding her, she felt it hard to breathe.
"Please don't surround me... Let me out..."
Her voice was so soft that few people could hear her.
She just felt her breathing getting more and more difficult and her chest getting more and more painful. Just when she was about to faint, someone seemed to catch her from behind. She knew who it was without looking and then closed her eyes in relief.
Before she fainted, the last thought in her mind was - luckily he came.
...
"Today, a transfer student will come to our class. He should be here soon. Let's give him a warm welcome later."
The homeroom teacher was saying this on the podium, but the students in Senior Two were all studying nervously and no one really cared.
At this moment, the transfer student was kicking stones outside and walking unhurriedly.
Suddenly, he heard some strange noises and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw some school hooligans bullying a student.
She was used to standing up for the weak, so she directly picked up a steel bar and walked over.
When those hooligans saw her coming, they thought she was a tough person and ran away without even fighting. This left her stunned - why did they run away without even a fight? And she wasn't there to fight. She just wanted to give the steel bar to this guy so that he could defend himself.
The student who was cornered saw Ji Siyue walking over and immediately collapsed on the ground. Whether it was because of the relief after the danger or the shock, he didn't show any expression.
She walked over and reached out her hand. "Are you okay, classmate?"
"I'm fine..."
"I tell you, next time you encounter this kind of situation, you must fight back. The more submissive you are, the more they'll bully you."
While the girl was talking, the boy kept staring at her backpack. After a while, the girl noticed that he wasn't listening to her but staring at her bag, so she looked down.
He was staring at the yellow Pikachu hanging on her backpack. She had had it for more than two years and it had always been her lucky charm.
Seeing that the boy was so pitiful today, she decided to give it to him.
So, she directly reached out and took the Pikachu off her backpack and stuffed it into the boy's arms without hesitation.
"I'm giving this to you. I've always had good luck when I carried it."
After the boy took the Pikachu, he was in a hurry to ask for her name, but the girl had already waved and walked away. She couldn't hear his words anymore. By the time he reacted and chased after her, she had disappeared.
He regretted not asking for her name earlier and had to return to the classroom.
He was late when he returned to the classroom. He was ready to accept the homeroom teacher's criticism indifferently, but then he saw the transfer student on the podium introducing herself.
In an instant, he stood there stunned.
He heard her say, "Hello everyone. I'm the new transfer student, Ji Siyue. I hope I can get along well with all of you."
After she finished, she walked down.
The homeroom teacher glanced at the boy who was still standing there stupidly at the door and frowned. "Qin Chengyao, why aren't you coming in?"
...
Ji Siyue felt as if she had had a dream. In the dream, she was always circling around a Pikachu, and there seemed to be a boy calling her name faintly. But when she woke up, she couldn't hear the name anymore.
"Who on earth was it? I clearly heard the name..."
Tian Cheng walked in from outside with two boxes of lunch. Seeing that she was awake, she quickly stepped forward. "Siyue, are you okay?"
