When Shen Yue ca to the classroom, she caused quite a stir, after all she had been absent from school for almost two weeks.
Niu Kaihuai had only told the classmates that Shen Yue needed to take so ti off, but did not tell them the reason.
The classmates had also tried to tag Shen Yue in the class group chat, but Shen Yue had never replied, so no one knew exactly why she had taken ti off.
"Hmm... Shen Yue today looks radiant and full of energy, not like soone who has just recovered from a serious illness, so we can rule out taking ti off due to illness first."
"If it's not for physical reasons then it must be so psychological issue, it must have been Ye Yin! Your number one math teacher made Shen Yue not even want to co to school! I suggest banning Ye Yin from giving math tests from now on!"
Ye Yin, who had been silently observing: ? Are you alright?
"Shen Yue, we were quite worried when you suddenly took so much ti off. We wanted to go visit you at your ho, but Teacher Niu said that wouldn't be good, so we didn't go in the end."
Moreover, just barging in to visit the house Shen Yue lives in, they would have been stopped before even reaching the front gate.
"Little Yueyue! You've finally co back! Co give your sister a hug!" Qing Xiaoyu charged straight at Shen Yue and pulled her into a bear hug.
As soone Shen Yue had personally acknowledged as her sister Xiaoyu, unlike the other classmates who only greeted her, she went straight in for physical contact.
After Qing Xiaoyu hugged Shen Yue, she felt sothing was off. Why didn't Shen Yue hug her back today?
Upon closer inspection, she noticed there was soone else with Shen Yue, soone who looked rather unapproachable.
Most critically, this rather unapproachable looking person was even holding Shen Yue's hand!
Was this person who had brought Shen Yue to school?
Didn't seem like a nanny or bodyguard, so...
"Are you Shen Yue's sister?" Qing Xiaoyu guessed an answer that seed closest to the truth.
Hearing this, Shen Hui's eyes that had been fixed on Shen Yue now showed a trace of Qing Xiaoyu.
She was about to respond when Shen Yue spoke up first, "No, she's my younger sister called Shen Hui, and from today she'll be attending school with ."
Qing Xiaoyu was a little surprised at this answer, but it was just mild surprise. She amiably greeted Shen Hui, "Hi, I'm Qing Xiaoyu."
Shen Hui pressed her lips together without speaking.
Shen Yue imdiately squeezed Shen Hui's hand to hint to her to respond.
Only then did Shen Hui reluctantly nod her head a little.
Shen Yue explained at the side, "She's not good with strangers."
Unlike when she had first arrived at the Shen house full of resentnt, at that ti Shen Hui had been driven by hatred, so she naturally could use many ans to achieve her goals, and was willing to sche.
But now, her coming to this school was being led by soone else to begin with, without any motive. For Shen Hui, her future was also unknown, so she wouldn't put on a facade to blend in with others.
When Shen Hui didn't put on an act, the coldness and exclusion deep in her bones showed through.
Even though Shen Yue had squeezed her hand to hint she should respond to Qing Xiaoyu, Shen Hui still only nodded slightly at her.
Qing Xiaoyu had seen Shen Yue's past self, so she didn't feel Shen Hui's silence was strange. She pointed at a desk not far away, "No wonder Teacher Niu suddenly brought over a new desk yesterday, that must be your seat."
Shen Yue looked in the direction Qing Xiaoyu was pointing. Sitting next to that empty desk was Bai Pangpang.
Shen Yue knew Shen Hui had never attended school before, she didn't plan to just abandon Shen Hui after bringing her to school either.
So she went upfront and used a month's worth of fries to exchange seats with Bai Pangpang.
Qing Xiaoyu watched with her own eyes as Shen Yue went to sit sowhere else, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
She felt Shen Yue had changed, beco less reliant on her.
It had only been two weeks after all.
Shen Yue sat next to Shen Hui and whispered, "Huihui, you pay for the fries."
Shen Hui gave her a side glance and haughtily asked, "Why should I?"
Shen Yue's reply was matter of fact, "I don't have money."
"If you don't have money then why did you so casually agree to soone else's request."
"I wanted to keep you company, since you're not used to this place yet. I wanted to accompany you more. Or would you prefer soone else as your deskmate? Was I overstepping?" Shen Yue's voice grew quieter and quieter, seeming hurt by Shen Hui's words.
Shen Hui was silent for a while before finally sighing, "Fine, I'll pay."
