Chapter 344: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (27)

Thus, high school life began.

Shen Mubai was walking down the road carrying a pile of materials when she heard a boy calling her from behind. She stopped and saw a shy-looking boy approach, scratching his head, “Classmate Jiang, do you need help?”

She recognized him as one of her classmates, but since the materials weren’t too heavy, she smiled and politely declined.

The boy seemed a bit disappointed and was about to say something when another voice interjected, “Luoluo.”

He looked over and saw it was the boy who had recently become a hot topic among the girls, and he was momentarily stunned.

An Ziyu suppressed the gloominess in his eyes and put on a gentle smile on his delicate face, “Is this your classmate?”

He emphasized the word “classmate” slightly.

Shen Mubai didn’t notice, “Ziyu, what are you doing here?”

An Ziyu’s eyes curved with a faint smile, “Just passing by.”

He glanced at the materials in her hands and said, “Need some help? We’re heading the same way.”

Shen Mubai, naturally, wasn’t going to be so polite with him. She almost forgot about the boy who had offered to help until she realized he had already walked away dejectedly.

As they walked together, their high attractiveness drew a lot of attention, but they didn’t mind as they were used to such looks before.

With a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, An Ziyu said softly, “Luoluo is as popular as ever.”

Shen Mubai thought he was teasing her, “Ziyu, you’re the same. The girls in our class have been talking about you. They say they’ve never seen such a handsome boy.”

An Ziyu stopped, the hair over his forehead obscuring his eyes, his voice dark and unclear, “Luoluo.”

Shen Mubai stopped, puzzled, “Huh? What’s wrong?”

An Ziyu looked up, with a charming smile on his face, and said, “It’s great to be with you all the time.”

Shen Mubai was taken aback. She had noticed the changes in the young male lead over the years. She had hoped he would grow and change, but not in this way.

Thinking about the past, she felt a bit distressed.

She looked at the young male lead and said, “Because we are family.”

An Ziyu smiled at her and said, “I have always regarded Luoluo as a family member.”

The most important person…

He looked at the girl beside him, his eyes darkening with a deep, brewing emotion.

What he really wanted to say wasn’t that.

But when he tried to speak, the words always changed.

He knew how dazzling Luoluo was and wanted to hide her so only he could see her.

But if Luoluo knew, she’d probably be scared…

Shen Mubai didn’t know what was going on in the young male lead’s mind. She started complaining about the drama club and asked, “Ziyu, did you join any club?”

An Ziyu smiled, “Not yet, but soon.”

Shen Mubai was curious, “Which club are you planning to join?”

An Ziyu replied softly, “The track and field club.”

Shen Mubai was surprised but delighted, feeling a bit dazed, “The track and field club, that’s great! Sports are the best.”

An Ziyu’s glass-like eyes showed a faint smile, “Yeah.”

….

The president and vice president of the track and field club were seniors in their third year. They were somewhat surprised by the new junior, who had just joined.
