Chapter 108 The First Day of School

  The summer internship has ended.

  On the day of farewell, the company held a grand farewell party. Interns and formal employees sat together, either recalling the scenes of working together at the beginning, or expressing their reluctance to part with each other and blessing each other. Everyone's face was filled with nostalgia, some even cried bitterly, finding it hard to bear leaving behind the sincere feelings for colleagues in the company.

  However, Bai Xueya did not attend that farewell party.

  She was said to have contracted a very severe cold, with fever and coughing so badly that she couldn't get out of bed. She had no choice but to ask Lori and her colleagues to apologize on her behalf, promising to visit Yongsheng to see everyone when she has time in the future.

  Among the guests in the hall.

  Lu Haochen wore a white shirt and walked towards Luo Li with his long legs under the gaze of everyone.

  "Hey!" he called out impatiently.

  Luo Li was stunned and didn't understand why Lu Haochen suddenly found her, so she stuttered: "Wh-what... what's going on?"

  "Give this to her." He slightly turned his head away, avoiding Lori, and with a sleight of hand, produced a box of cold medicine.

  "For her?"

  Luo Li was stunned, took the cold medicine and examined it carefully, and looked at Lu Haochen with some incredulity. What's going on today? Why would arch-nemesis Lu Haochen give Xiaoya medicine?

  The period is over. It can't be poison, right?

  She pursed her lips and carefully observed Lu Haochen's expression. He seemed a bit embarrassed, his face slightly red, his eyes flustered, which was not like the usual arrogant and violent young master, but rather like an introverted and shy little boy.

  Luo Li couldn't help but secretly smile, she had never seen Lu Haochen look like this before, he looked adorable like a well-behaved cat.

  Lu Haochen glared at her fiercely, scaring Luo Li into hastily suppressing her smile. She put away the cold medicine, but couldn't help asking in a low voice, "This... won't have arsenic added to it, will it?"

  Upon hearing this, Lu Haocen glared at her fiercely again, "If I add arsenic, you'll be the first to eat it!" After saying that, he turned and left.

  Luori was shocked and trembled. This Lu Haocen is indeed not someone to be trifled with...

  Lu Li took out the cold medicine again and observed it carefully.

  That's strange...

  Xiao Ya didn't know about her cold until later. How did Lu Haochen know beforehand?

  ＊＊＊

  The first day of school.

  The weather in September is sunny and beautiful, although it's still hot and hard to bear, compared to before, there are many more days with clear skies and fresh air.

  The autumn is high and refreshing, under the distant sky, students are carrying their schoolbags to school, the crowded people flow back and forth, forming a magnificent scene.

  Shiragiku wore a crisp and clean school uniform, with white sneakers that were spotless. Her pure white knee-high socks accentuated the slender shape of her calves. Her big wavy hair was tied up in a neat ponytail that fell straight down to her shoulders, and a pale blue ribbon was tied into an elegant bow, like a butterfly about to take flight.

  The school bag is still the same, only with some extra decorations hanging on it. The mood remains the same, but the feeling of walking this road is no longer the same as before.

  Before, she would look around every time on her way to school, hoping to catch a glimpse of Yan Feng who was also on his way to school. But at this moment, she suddenly became extremely afraid. If they were to meet again, Bai Xiaoya really didn't know how she could escape from the scene under broad daylight.

  She sighed, turned her head sideways, and a fallen leaf happened to flutter down from the tree, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

  In the past, September was a time of lush vegetation and thriving life. This year, however, the trees are withering prematurely, as if autumn has arrived too early.

  As soon as she stepped into the school gate, Bai Xueya heard Luo Li shouting loudly behind her.

  "Ah-ya! Halt!"

  She smiled and turned around, and as expected, she saw Luo Li rushing over with her hair flying in the air, her skirt fluttering, and the books in her backpack on her back performing a "rustling" symphony.

  As she drew near, Luo Li hurriedly slammed on the brakes and leaned forward, panting heavily.

  "Detestable Xiao Ya! I've been calling you all the way! You actually didn't wait for me!" Luo Li wiped her mouth and raised her head to utter an impolite complaint.

  "I didn't hear it," said Bai Xueya with her hands spread out, "it was so noisy on the road, and I'm not a rabbit with super sensitive ears, how could I have heard something from hundreds of meters away?"

  "Fine! You're so stubborn! You really have no conscience!" She glared at her fiercely, her mouth pouting in dissatisfaction.

  Seeing her unhappy, Bai Xueya calmly took a deep breath and placed her hand under Luo Li's armpit to scratch vigorously. At first, Luo Li pretended to be upset, but soon she struggled and begged for mercy repeatedly.

  Bai Xianya saw a good opportunity and decided to stop while she was ahead. She clapped her hands together in satisfaction and made a "V" shape with her fingers, looking pleased with herself.

  Two people walked hand in hand all the way to the teaching building. Luo Li suddenly remembered something and took out a thing from her pocket.

  "Here you go!"

  Bai Xueya lowered her head and saw the cold medicine in Luo Li's palm. She quickly smiled and took it over, examining it carefully.

  "Not bad, I'm impressed that you still remember that I have a severe cold! You actually bought the most expensive medicine at the pharmacy! Hmm! Not bad, not bad! Good kid! Later, sister will reward you with a small red flower!" She said, patting Luo Li's shoulder in satisfaction.

  Luoli pushed her hand to the side and smiled, saying: "Don't thank me at all! Because... this medicine wasn't given by me!"

  "Ah?" Bai Xiaya opened her eyes wide, waved the cold medicine in her hand and said, "Not even my younger brother and sister are as kind-hearted as this! If it's not you, who else would care about me so much?"

  "Hehehe," Luo Li smiled mysteriously with narrowed eyes, "It's Lu Haochen!"

  Bai Xueya was stunned, blinking repeatedly at the cold medicine in her hand, not believing Luo Li's words. Lu Haochen? Lu Haochen bought her cold medicine? That guy, would he care about her?

  She smiled awkwardly and asked hesitantly: "Lu Haochen? Hehe... how is that possible? Are you kidding me?"

  "I swear I'm telling the truth!" Lori solemnly raised three fingers.

  Seeing Luo Li's solemn expression, Bai Xueya was taken aback. She lowered her head and looked at the square packaging box in her hand, and suddenly felt a inexplicable panic in her heart, as if someone had grasped an untold secret of hers.

  She suddenly remembered that rainy night by the riverbank in Ningxi, the sound of wind and rain outside the Wind Pavilion, she and he sat shoulder to shoulder on the concrete steps, each with their own thoughts.

  Then he suddenly kissed her...

  Her face unnaturally flushed with embarrassment, Bai Xiaya awkwardly returned the cold medicine to Luo Li before turning her head and leaving without saying a word.

  "Hey! Xiao Ya!" Behind her, Luo Li was still shouting unknowingly, "What do you want me to do? Do I have to give it back to Lu Haochen? And... what's going on between the two of you?"

  Luo Li's shout attracted the attention of a student nearby, Bai Xiao Ya bit her lip and hurriedly ran away with her head down. She didn't want to have any connection with Lu Hao Chen at all...

  In the classroom, more than half of the students were already seated. Bai Xueya rushed into the classroom in a hurry and bumped into a tall wall of flesh as soon as she entered the door.

  "Sorry, sorry!" She apologized repeatedly, lifting her head and only then seeing clearly that the person who had bumped into her was her classmate Li Dabing.

  "Good morning!" She curved her lips and hurriedly greeted a classmate she hadn't seen since summer vacation.

  Li Da Bing looked at her as if he had seen a monster, his eyes full of confusion.

  "Uh... sorry, miss. Have we met before?" Li Dabing scratched his hair and looked up and down at the "stranger" in front of him. Although he looked a bit familiar, he really didn't recognize this person.

  Could it be... the new transfer student?

  He rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and felt it was impossible. Because if their school had transferred such a beauty, it would have been spread all over the campus N days in advance, how could it be that until today, not even a single rumor has been heard?

  His words drew the attention of other students, and everyone looked towards the classroom door. Seeing a beautiful and elegant stranger standing at the door, each person's face showed an astonishing expression, and the boys' eyes lit up even more.

  "Ah?" Seeing everyone's reaction as if they didn't recognize her, Bai Xueya was stunned for a moment. It took her half a day to remember that she had changed her appearance, and even her good friend Luo Li hadn't recognized her at first, let alone her classmates.

  She hurriedly smiled and was about to carefully explain, but Luo Li caught up from behind at this time.

  "Xiao Ya! Wait for me!"

  What's going on?

  The students were shocked, and their eyes all fell back on the girl at the door. Is this Bai Xiaoya? Ha ha, mistaken identity?

  "Xiaoya!" Luo Li panted hastily, taking a step forward, "Xiaoya you're really something! A hundred meters in seconds! I'm exhausted..."

  It wasn't until a long time had passed that Luo Li realized her classmates' gazes were all directed at her. At first, she was startled, then lowered her head to take stock of herself. Hmm, it seemed like she hadn't worn the wrong clothes or anything?

  Seeing Li Dabing standing in front of her, she lowered her voice and asked in confusion: "Dad... Dabing... what's going on now?"

  Li Dabing was also confused about what was going on. Originally, running into a beautiful female classmate was already unexpected enough, and now he even heard Luo Li loudly calling this beauty "Bai Xiaya". Haha, it's really like seeing a ghost... Can Bai Xiaya grow up to look like this? Ten Bai Xiayas put together aren't as good-looking as one of her fingers...

  Of course, this is only limited to Li Dabing's private muttering. If he dared to say it in front of Bai Xueya, he would have died a long time ago...

  Fortunately, the class committee member Hao Tingting, who had been writing her homework with her head down, noticed the commotion and walked over after a careful examination. She pushed her glasses up with one hand while carefully sizing up this "unfamiliar" beauty.

  "Hello..." She smiled politely, looked at Luo Li behind the girl, and then looked at the girl again, hesitating to ask, "Excuse me, this is Class 3-15, or the former Class 2-15. Classmate... did you get lost in class or... are you a new transfer student?"

  As she spoke, she pointed at the class sign on the door.

  When she heard this, Bai Xueya couldn't help but "heh" out a laugh, and Luo Li was even more unable to hold back, starting to guffaw loudly. Not one of their classmates had recognized Xueya! Hahaha! How stupid!

  Watching Luo Li laugh so hard that tears flew out, Hao Tingting and a group of classmates were even more confused. At this time, the students who came to class also stared at the "stranger" at the door in surprise, taking their seats one by one, whispering to each other, asking who this person was.

  "Cough, cough!" After a flurry of discussion, Luo Li cleared her throat and walked up to the stage with her head held high, pointing at the girl beside her and solemnly announcing...

  "Let me introduce everyone! This is, my good friend Bai Xiaoya!"
