“I said I don’t like you,” Lu Yan repeated, devoid of emotion.
Tears streamed down Zhou Li’s face uncontrollably. She covered her cheeks and was about to run away in embarrassment but collided with Li Zhen, who was approaching slowly.
“Why is there a dog in my way?” Zhou Li vented her frustration towards Li Zhen, who had suddenly appeared.
“You have time to scold me, but you can’t win back the guy you like the most?” Li Zhen sneered and raised an eyebrow. “You’re quite useless. No wonder you can’t compete with Mei Shu.”
“Why can’t I compete with her? She’s just luckier than me, having met Lu Yan before 1 did!” Zhou Li wiped away her tears, clenching her sleeves, and vowed, “I will win All Yan back!”
“Can you?” Li Zhen deliberately showed a contemptuous expression to provoke her.
Zhou Li fell into the trap, getting even angrier, “Just you wait! In the end, Lu Yan will belong to me!”

“You seem quite confident,” Li Zhen said, suppressing his mocking expression and looking at her with interest. “1 know a way to make Lu Yan completely disgusted with Mei Shu. Do you want to join forces with me?”
On the other side.
With Zhou Li no longer in the way, Mei Shu went with Wen Miao and Lu Yan to a nearby bubble tea shop.
The three of them found a quiet corner to sit.
Wen Miao volunteered to buy the bubble tea, leaving the two of them alone.
With no one else around to interfere, a slight smile finally appeared on Lu Yan’s face. “I thought you might not want to talk to me anymore.”
Mei Shu playfully teased him, “How could that be? Ah Yan, do you have so little faith in our friendship?”
Lu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and his tone became serious. “Mei Shu, there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you.”
Mei Shu looked up and said, “Go ahead.”
Lu Yan wiped his nose, gathered his courage, and asked, “In your heart, how do you really see me?”
Mei Shu understood what he wanted to say and replied with a smile, “Ah Yan, in my heart, you’ve always been my best friend. 1 hope that one day, you’ll find a girl you really like and spend your life with her, growing old together. As for me, I’ll be here as your friend, silently supporting you from the background.” A bitter smile appeared on Lu Yan’s face, even more unsightly than crying. “I knew you would say that, but I still wanted to ask in person.”
“All Yan, love is the most unpredictable emotion in this world, but our friendship can go a long way.” Mei Shu knew that her words might make him feel sad.
But this matter couldn’t be delayed.
The longer it dragged on, the greater the damage it caused.
Lu Yan understood her intentions and remained silent for a while before regaining his smile. “Actually, I also want to be lifelong friends with you. Now, it seems like we really understand each other, right?”
Mei Shu was puzzled by his ambiguous phrasing, but she nodded in response to the hopeful look in his eyes. “Yes, we can be the best of friends forever. 1’11 always cherish our childhood friendship.”
Once they had cleared the air, the atmosphere between them gradually relaxed.
Wen Miao finally heaved a sigh of relief, returning with three cups of bubble tea. “The bubble tea shop is really crowded after school. I finally got some!”
Mei Shu took the bubble tea with a thankful smile. “You’ve worked hard today. You didn’t treat us to bubble tea, so how about I treat you and Lu Yan to lunch tomorrow?”

Seeing this, Mei Shu proactively asked, “Ah Yan, do you want to have lunch together tomorrow?”
“Sure,” Lu Yan smiled in response.
Wen Miao’s eyes squinted with joy, “That’s amazing! 1 never even dreamed I’d have the chance to have a meal with the God of Study, Lu Yan!”
“You don’t have to call me that,” Lu Yan replied politely, “Since you’re Shu’er’s friend, you’re naturally my good friend too. You can just call me Ah Yan from now on!”
As he spoke, his eyes sparkled, as if they were filled with moonlight.
Wen Miao’s heart raced, and she suddenly felt lightheaded. For a moment, she couldn’t see anything except for Lu Yan’s mild and composed face.
“Can I really call you that? Ah Yan?” Wen Miao asked hesitantly.
With just those few words, her heart felt as if it were going to burst out of her chest.
Lu Yan maintained his friendly smile and said, “Of course, it’s true. We’re all classmates, so why call me ‘god’?”
He hadn’t put much thought into it; he simply felt it was a bit embarrassing to have a younger girl constantly call him “god.”
What he didn’t know was that this offhand remark brought a momentary flutter to her heart, a memory that she would cherish for decades..
