Chapter 349: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (32)

Shen Mubai then slowly asked, “I’m curious.”

Xu Lin replied, “Hmm?”

Shen Mubai asked, “Where did the photo come from?”

Xu Lin twitched her mouth and said, “Theirs were taken; yours was found.”

Shen Mubai responded with an “oh.”

Xu Lin mysteriously teased, “Do you know who the school prince is?”

Shen Mubai shook her head.

Xu Lin nudged her arm, “It’s your childhood friend, An Ziyu.”

Shen Mubai had already guessed this, so she wasn’t very surprised.

Xu Lin gushed, “He’s really so handsome. Compared to him, the previous school princes pale in comparison. He’s an absolute stunner.”

She continued to swoon for a while and then suddenly remembered something. “Oh, and I saw someone badmouthing you, calling you a scheming bitch.”

Shen Mubai was bewildered, pointing at herself and asking, “Me, a scheming bitch?”

Xu Lin nodded, “Yeah, they said you purposely chose that photo, but you’re actually much uglier in person.”

She looked at Shen Mubai’s face and muttered, “I think you look better than the photo.”

Shen Mubai was amused but didn’t take it to heart.

However, the school beauty evaluation did have an impact on her, like the increasing number of love letters under her desk.

Shen Mubai wondered if she could save enough in two years to buy a juicer.

She would stuff the love letters into her backpack to take home since it wasn’t easy to deal with them at school.

On the way home from school, the young male lead noticed her bulging backpack and asked, “What’s inside?”

Shen Mubai coughed and replied vaguely, “There are a lot of homework assignments lately.”

An Ziyu smiled, “When Luoluo lies, it’s just like now…”

Shen Mubai, “…”

An Ziyu casually said, “Let me guess what’s inside?”

His smile faded slightly, “Love letters, right?”

Shen Mubai had no choice but to confess.

An Ziyu looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes darkening as suppressed feelings of jealousy and possessiveness surged.

He spoke softly, “Does Luoluo have someone she likes?”

Shen Mubai shook her head and said, “No.”

Some of the dark emotions in his heart dissipated, and An Ziyu’s lips curled up slightly, “Luoluo is a good girl and won’t have a romance too early, right?”

Shen Mubai glanced up at him and said, “Ziyu, you’re not much older, okay?”

An Ziyu teased, “I’m a month older than you. By seniority, you should call me ‘brother.'”

Shen Mubai glared at him and said, “Keep dreaming!”

An Ziyu’s lips curved slightly as he gazed at the girl in front of him, “Actually, I don’t like you calling me ‘brother’ either.”

He paused, “But in some matters, I’d be very happy.”

Shen Mubai, oblivious to his thoughts, retorted, “In this lifetime, you can only dream about it.”

As they say, it’s best not to make promises because they are very likely to be slapped in the face in the future.

An Ziyu patted her head gently and said, “Luoluo, let’s make a deal, okay?”

Shen Mubai looked up, “What deal?”

An Ziyu said casually, “Neither of us will have an early romance in high school.”

Shen Mubai thought about it. She could manage that, but the young male lead might meet someone he likes in the future. So she shook her head and said, “That might not be good. What if Ziyu meet a girl he like?”
