“True, Chi Yao is someone who takes a lot to heart, it’s normal if you’re not aware,” Liu Manman suddenly felt kind-hearted and attempted to diffuse the situation.
Just when Yu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the matter had passed, Liu Manman, seemingly indifferent, continued, “But it’s really strange ah, Nian Nian. It’s not that I’m overthinking, from what I know, besides you, there’s no one else around Chi Yao.”
As Liu Manman said this, she seemed to recall something amusing and chuckled softly, “Nian Nian, you don’t know that right after the PE class ended, Chi Yao hurried over to see you in a fluster. He saw you were still sleeping and instructed us not to speak loudly, so as not to wake you up. Chi Yao is usually so proud; I’ve never seen him care about anyone so much since I’ve known him.”
Even if Yu Nian was slow to catch on, she could still sense that Liu Manman was hinting at something. She wanted to defend herself but didn’t know where to begin.
“Nian Nian,” Liu Manman turned around, her eyes and eyebrows curved, smiling warmly at her, but Yu Nian felt her palms go cold.
A gust of wind swept through, causing the ginkgo leaves along the roadside to sway gently in the breeze, slowly descending and covering the ground like a soft, dazzling ocean.
It was indeed autumn, no wonder it was so cold. Yu Nian’s neck shrunk inward and thought to herself.
“Tell me the truth, do you like Chi Yao?” Liu Manman asked, only speculating based on Li Xiang’s limited actions. Despite the incredulity, she hesitated before asking the question.

However, even such an unremarkable person had someone willing to sincerely help her and befriend her.
Even if this person’s initial intentions were due to her parents’ request, out of obligation to take special care of her.
But treating her well was also really good.
It couldn’t be denied that when he heard Li Xiang’s confession, Yu Nian felt a mixture of panic, surprise, and a trace of joy that couldn’t be ignored.
This joy dared not to be voiced; it hid in the farthest corner of her heart, seemingly inconspicuous. Especially since Yu Nian was then deeply engulfed in the gloom of a task that seemed impossible to accomplish, she couldn’t even realize it.
But when she came to her senses, she didn’t know when this joy began to spread and grow.
Perhaps it was the genuine concern in his eyes when he urged her to go to the infirmary…
Perhaps it was his obvious anger, yet deliberate suppression due to her condition, ultimately compromising…
Perhaps it was when her body was burning with fever, this person stooped down to bring her to an ice field…
Thinking for too long, Liu Man Man’s face, which had been able to maintain a smile, gradually collapsed.
Yu Nian took a deep breath, and when she was about to respond, a cold voice sounded behind her.
“Shi Nian Nian!”
Yu Nian turned at the sound, only to see Li Xiang had arrived at some point, holding out his school jacket towards her.
When he approached, Li Xiang handed Yu Nian the jacket in his hand, motioning her to put it on
Yu Nian glanced awkwardly at Liu Manman beside her and didn’t accept the jacket.
“No, no need, I have my own,” Yu Nian put her hands behind her back, indicating her refusal.
Meeting Li Xiang’s unquestionable gaze, Yu Nian wore a pained expression, forcing a smile.
Heavens, this was torture!
Yu Nian seriously suspected this person was intentional. She hadn’t finished explaining yet, and he was already so nonchalant.
Seeing Liu Manman’s almost frozen smile, Yu Nian felt it was useless to be afraid of denying it now.
However, Li Xiang had no idea about the turmoil in her heart. He forcefully threw his jacket into Yu Nian’s arms, saying, “You’re wearing too little, your fever has just subsided. Let’s go back to the classroom and avoid the cold.”
“Oh.” Yu Nian held onto Li Xiang’s jacket, glancing at the two of them. Neither wearing nor not wearing it seemed appropriate.
Fortunately, the bell for the end of the class rang, almost saving the eerie atmosphere.
Yu Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled at both of them, and jokingly said in an attempt to ease the tension, “Let’s go, let’s go back to the classroom, and whoever arrives last buys lunch!”
After saying this, without waiting for their response, she ran off by herself.
As long as she wasn’t embarrassed, then others would be.
Yu Nian applied this theory with utmost precision.
Thus, on the entire boulevard, anyone lucky enough to pass by would catch a glimpse of a simple and honest figure resembling a lost penguin on its migration journey, swaying from side to side as it trotted along.
Yu Nian ran back to the classroom in high spirits, never imagining that one day she would become infamous at Wutong No. 1 Middle School for having a running posture so comical that it made her stand out.
[Although I feel sorry for her! But it’s hilarious]
1L
Shocking melon! I just saw Shi Nian Nian running away in tears.
2L
Laughing my ass off, I saw it too, her running is too funny! Hahahaha!
3L
Made a GIF, you’re welcome. [Crying.GIF]

Hahaha, this homeless one looks like a scavenger ah, the expression is so nice. I have to save it.
7L
Don’t you think, when she runs, she actually looks like a mascot?
8L
Upstairs, you want to say it’s like a lucky cat, right? Hahaha, fat is fat, no need to be so subtle.
9L
So why was she running? So flustered, it’s so funny.
10L
During P.E. class, lucky enough to be nearby, the following is purely speculative, I take no responsibility. I think this person probably had a failed confession. Originally, she was with Chi Yao and Liu Manman, but later, I don’t know what a few people said to her, and she ran off, while the other two strolled leisurely.
11L
Upstairs +1, if you’re too embarrassed to face people, of course, you’ll run away.
12L
True, if she really wanted to confess, she should’ve picked a similar opponent. Liu Manman was standing right there; her going would be like openly challenging her.
13L
What do you know upstairs? Our Penguin Nian is bravely chasing after love, okay?
14L
Alright, now even the emoticon has fans, laughing to death hhh.
