Insufficient balance

  Lin Xiaoyu ended the first class of the morning in a half-asleep state, and the bell rang to signal the end of the class. Lin Xiaoyu immediately fell asleep on the desk, but he felt that his stomach was still growling with hunger from not eating enough breakfast. He was considering whether he should run to the school's small shop to buy something to fill his stomach. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiaoyu's hunger overcame his laziness, and he left his seat, preparing to head to the small shop.

  As soon as Lin Xiaoyu walked out of the classroom door, he saw Lin Cijie walking towards him with a bag in her hand.

  Lin Cijie brought breakfast for a boy for the first time. In a place like school, a girl bringing breakfast to a boy means something, and Lin Cijie was well aware of it. During the first class, Lin Cijie couldn't focus on the teacher's lecture at all, her mind was preoccupied with the breakfast she had carefully placed in her desk drawer. Lin Cijie kept thinking about how she should give the breakfast to Lin Xiaoyu, wondering if it would be too embarrassing for a girl like her to bring breakfast to a junior boy. Would other students gossip? The class time passed by as Lin Cijie repeatedly thought about this, and when the bell rang, Lin Cijie made up her mind and took out the breakfast from her desk drawer. Since she was young, Lin Cijie had always been a girl who acted on her thoughts, and her attitude towards love was no exception.

  Lin Cijie carried the breakfast from her classroom on the fifth floor down to Lin Xiaoyu's classroom on the second floor. Along the way, she greeted familiar classmates with a quick hello before hurrying past. Fortunately, none of them asked where she was going with the bag bearing the name of the breakfast shop, or Lin Cijie would have had a hard time explaining herself. Although it was just a short distance from the fifth to the second floor, Lin Cijie felt that this trip took the longest time ever.

  Lin Cijie had just arrived at the door of Lin Xiaoyu's classroom when she saw Lin Xiaoyu walking out of the classroom, which made Lin Cijie breathe a small sigh of relief. Lin Cijie was still hesitating whether to ask a classmate to call Lin Xiaoyu out into the corridor after arriving at Lin Xiaoyu's classroom.

  "Little Yu," Lin Cijie tried to calm herself down, she smiled and placed the breakfast in front of Lin Xiaoyu, saying: "Here, I bought this breakfast for you."

  Lin Xiaoyu was surprised to see that Lin Cijie had really bought her breakfast. She didn't think that Lin Cijie would actually buy her breakfast after saying so at the breakfast shop yesterday. Lin Xiaoyu felt very grateful towards the female manager of the team.

  "You really brought me breakfast, ah, thank you so much." Lin Xiaoyu was in dire need of something to fill her stomach right now, and Lin Cijie's breakfast was truly a timely help. Lin Xiaoyu didn't care about being polite anymore and immediately thanked her and took it over.

  Lin Cijie was delighted to see Lin Xiaoyu take the breakfast she had brought for him so readily. Lin Cijie told Lin Xiaoyu that she needed to return to the classroom to prepare for her next class, and that she would bring breakfast again tomorrow. After saying this, Lin Cijie gave Lin Xiaoyu a sweet smile before turning around and walking away.

  Lin Xiaoyu really didn't know how to thank her senior who had sent her breakfast, Lin Xiaoyu held the meal box wrapped in her left hand, and she could still feel the warmth emanating from the food inside, the aroma of breakfast also wafted out of the bag. Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that she had given the money for breakfast to Lin Cijie, and Lin Xiaoyu couldn't help but blame herself for her carelessness.

  Lin Cijie took a deep breath after turning away, earlier Lin Cijie seemed calm on the surface but her heart was racing and she couldn't breathe normally. She could feel the curious gazes of people around her when she sent breakfast to Lin Xiaoyu, even seeing classmates whispering to each other, their eyes secretly glancing at her and Lin Xiaoyu. However, Lin Cijie no longer cared about all this, she had already taken a big step in showing her affection to Lin Xiaoyu, as long as she continued to work hard, Lin Cijie firmly believed that she would obtain the happiness of love.

  Lin Cijie walked to the corner of the stairs on the second floor with a happy pace. Lin Cijie remembered that this was where she first met Lin Xiaoyu, and that time Lin Xiaoyu accidentally hit her head with an empty drink can and was scolded severely by herself. Lin Cijie recalled the scene of Lin Xiaoyu fleeing in disarray after being scolded, and a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth again. Now, Lin Cijie felt that the empty drink can that Lin Xiaoyu hit on her head was like Cupid's arrow, hitting not only her little head but also deeply piercing her heart...

  For three days in a row, after the first class in the morning, Lin Cijie would send a breakfast to Lin Xiaoyu's classroom for Lin Xiaoyu.

  On the first day, when Lin Cijie, a senior in high school, appeared in Lin Xiaoyu's classroom with breakfast, it caused a stir among Lin Xiaoyu's classmates. Everyone was surprised that this tall and beautiful senior would give Lin Xiaoyu breakfast, and what their relationship was. In school, it was rare for a girl to bring breakfast to a boy every day, unless they were in a romantic relationship. The students were guessing whether Lin Cijie was Lin Xiaoyu's girlfriend or not. But wasn't Lin Xiaoyu always with that pretty girl from the neighboring class? Wasn't she his girlfriend? Or had they broken up? The gossipmongers in the class were secretly discussing this intriguing topic. The girls began to think that Lin Xiaoyu was a playboy, once again confirming their theory that handsome guys are all players. Meanwhile, more and more boys envied Lin Xiaoyu's good fortune.

  Rumors in the school were spreading from one student to another, and it wasn't long before Yan Nan heard about Lin Xiaoyu being sent breakfast by a senior sister every morning. After learning this news that felt like a slap in the face, Yan Nan hastily ran to Lin Xiaoyu's classroom after the first class of the next day. Because the teacher of the first class dragged on for a bit, when Yan Nan arrived at Lin Xiaoyu's classroom, she saw Lin Xiaoyu eating breakfast with her left hand holding chopsticks at her desk.

  Lin Xiaoyu, who was enjoying the food, did not notice Yan Nan's anger and smiled to ask if he wanted to eat breakfast, or come and have some.

  If Lin Xiaoyu had invited Yan Nan to eat with him like this in the past, Yan Nan would have sat down happily and enjoyed the pleasure of eating together. But now that she knew this breakfast was sent by Lin Cijie, it made Yan Nan unable to accept Lin Xiaoyu's invitation. Watching Lin Xiaoyu savoring the breakfast sent by Lin Cijie with relish, Yan Nan's heart felt like a bottle of vinegar had been knocked over, making her feel sour and uncomfortable.

  "Was this breakfast sent by Lin Cijie?" Yan Nan asked with a slightly angry tone, especially when mentioning the three words "Lin Cijie", Yan Nan's words had a somewhat biting and resentful feeling.

  Lin Xiaoyu, who was insensitive to girls' emotions, did not notice the abnormal tone in Yan Xiang's speech. With a bun stuffed in her mouth, Lin Xiaoyu spoke vaguely: "Yeah, Xiao Xiang, come try some... it really tastes good, you'll like it..."

  After hearing Lin Xiaoyu admit that the breakfast was sent by Lin Cijie, Yan Nan could no longer hold back the sour and vinegar-like feeling in her heart.

  "I don't allow you to eat what she sent over for you." Yan Nan snatched away the breakfast that Lin Xiaoyu had placed on the table.

  Lin Xiaoyu saw Yan Nang suddenly snatch away the breakfast she was eating, feeling very puzzled. Lin Xiaoyu asked: "Why can't I eat? Give me back my breakfast, I'm not full yet."

  "I said no eating, so no eating!" Yan Nan saw that Lin Xiaoyu still wanted to take back the breakfast he had taken away from her and felt even angrier. Yan Nan thought that Lin Xiaoyu attached great importance to this breakfast sent by Lin Cijie.

  Yan Nan, who had always been treated like a precious gem by her family at home, was now throwing a tantrum because she was jealous. She fiercely threw the breakfast into the trash can behind the classroom.

  "Xiao Nan! How can you do this?" Lin Xiaoyu saw Yan Nan throwing away the breakfast that Lin Cijie had kindly brought for her, which hadn't been finished yet. Lin Xiaoyu didn't like seeing Yan Nan's unreasonable behavior, and Yan Nan's treatment of Lin Cijie's kind gesture made Lin Xiaoyu feel angry.

  Yan Nan had never heard Lin Xiao Yu speak to him in such a loud voice before, and it was all because of another girl who had brought him breakfast. This made Yan Nan feel full of grievances in his heart. Yan Nan felt that he loved Lin Xiao Yu with all his heart, but Lin Xiao Yu actually scolded him because of the breakfast a girl had brought for him... Yan Nan's heart felt extremely painful, and the most precious thing in his heart seemed to have been shattered by Lin Xiao Yu's words. Tears burst out uncontrollably from Yan Nan's eyes...

  "I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, go eat the breakfast she sent you...!" Yan Nan covered her face and rushed out of Lin Xiaoyu's classroom in extreme sorrow.

  Lin Xiaoyu saw Yan Nan crying and running out of the classroom, feeling as if she had lost something in an instant, with a sense of loss swirling around her heart. However, Lin Xiaoyu was still resentful about Yan Nan's barbaric behavior, thinking that from the beginning, it was all Yan Nan's fault for throwing away the breakfast that others had kindly given to her without reason. So Lin Xiaoyu didn't go after Yan Nan, but instead sat silently at her desk, not making a sound.

  A scene unfolded in the classroom, causing all the students' eyes to fall on Lin Xiaoyu. Suddenly, the usually bustling classroom during recess became eerily silent, with only the sound of the school bell breaking the stillness that had settled over the room...
