After being punished with a few minutes of standing for arriving late to the morning class, Xu Lin was again summoned by the well-intentioned class teacher, who wanted him to achieve good grades.
However, he had no time to have breakfast. After the morning self-study session, he took out a cold pancake and warm rice porridge.
“Xu Lin, you just recovered from a cold, and now you’re eating stale food.” Ji Yun grabbed the pancake from his hand.
“I have no choice. I came late today and had no time to eat.” Xu Lin gently pulled the pancake back.
Though their actions were not flirtatious, the students around, who hadn’t gone to the cafeteria yet, suddenly showed teasing smiles.
It seemed that these two were not just friends, and their relationship was extraordinary. Of course, some people were envious.
After all, one was the recognised beauty of the class, even the school flower. The other, while not a heartthrob, was a handsome boy who looked pleasing. It was normal for some to feel a bit sour.
Ji Yun felt the surrounding gazes and subconsciously wanted to avoid them. However, this time she surprisingly stood her ground and continued speaking.
“But why were you late today?”
“I didn’t ride my bicycle; I ran here. So I was late.”“Huh? You really ran here? I thought you were just saying that.”
Ji Yun was a bit surprised, but considering his weak condition from the fever yesterday, it did make sense that he would want to exercise.
“But you need to keep it up.”
“I will. For good health, I’ll persist.”
“But if you continue like this, what if you miss the class again?”
“I’ll wake up early. Today, I got up at 5, so waking up a bit earlier is fine.”
“But your rest time is too short.”
Ji Yun looked at the dark circles under his fair face, unconsciously reaching out to touch them, but immediately withdrew her hand.
She scolded herself for being too bold. ‘Ji Yun, you’re a good girl; you shouldn’t be handsy with boys.’
“I’ll sleep early in the evening, around 11, and wake up at 5. Then I’ll have had a good 6 hours of rest.”
“That won’t work. How about this? I’ll buy breakfast for you, and you can come straight to school.”
Seeing the cup of rice porridge on his desk, Ji Yun had an idea.
“Haven’t even become someone’s girlfriend yet, and you’re already worrying about his breakfast like a little wife?”
At this moment, a teasing voice chimed in. Ji Yun saw Zhuo Yan holding a box of yoghurt, sitting nearby, and giving Xu Lin a playful glare.
“Zhuo Yan, we’re classmates after all,” Ji Yun said apologetically.
“We’ve been desk mates since middle school, and I haven’t seen you willingly bring me food,” Zhuo Yan retorted.
“Classmate Zhuo, why are you feeling jealous? If you want Ji Yun to bring you food, she can. But don’t you eat in the cafeteria all the time?”
“While the cafeteria food is decent, eating it every day can be a bit tiresome. I need some variety,” Zhuo Yan said.
“Then I’ll bring some for you both. It’s not a hassle. Whenever I feel like it, I’ll buy extra. If not, you can go to the cafeteria,” Ji Yun suggested.
After a brief consideration, both nodded, realising that they couldn’t make her bring breakfast every day in the future.
Thinking about bringing food, Xu Lin unintentionally recalled the senior sister Bai he saw in the morning and decided to check her profile on the system.
