Editor: Wahnsinniger Herrscher

Originally, Zhou Yuan's intention was to use the police intervention as an excuse to leave school. After all, he did not enjoy being forced to go to school by his parents. But he never had imagined that the high school student was Hua Miaomiao.

He had never imagined how his little deskmate would look like when she grew up. In his subconscious, the little deskmate was still the sa timorous little girl with scars on her arms and timid eyes.

Even if there was so degree of familiarity, he just couldn't see the connection between the two.

He just heard her na again, which caused him to wonder why she was insistent that the bracelet was hers, which led her to fervidly argue with him.

The bracelet, which he adorned, and hers were both ten years old.

He initially thought that the other person was unreasonable. However, after discovering Miaomiao's identity, he understood everything all at the sa ti. This coincidence was just too much for him to comprehend, and he wasn't foolish; therefore, he knew she shouldn't be able to locate another person who wore the sa won's style bracelet with an altered chain.

Because of this coincidence, Miaomiao believed that it was hers, and it wasn't unusual to suspect him of being the person who took it.

The more Zhou Yuan mused over it, the more he found this reunion hilarious. Especially when he noticed the other person's swollen face and eyes. She wasn't sure how to express anger and indignation when she was a child. It didn't matter what tribulations she had to go through; she always felt sad for herself. Now she has grown into a brighter person.

A wave of inexpressible anger filled Miaomiao's heart when she saw his smile.

He's clearly doing it on purpose!

When the police were called, the teacher also naturally ca along.

As soon as the teacher learned the details of this incident, he imdiately defended Zhou Yuan and said, "He would never do that. His family is extrely wealthy, so he would never steal from other students."

Miaomiao was taken aback, "But...this bracelet...it's mine." Miaomiao was certain that it was hers when she held the bracelet in her hands. When she was a child, she was incognizant of the material of the goods that she had purchased, and it was inexpensive as well. She peered at his bracelet and noticed that the silvery veneer was wearing away, revealing the cheap black material inside.

The teacher had a good impression of Zhou Yuan since he didn't seem to be an average student. He explained, "Zhou Yuan was already wearing this bracelet when he first arrived."

Miaomiao went to school before Zhou Yuan, whereas Zhou Yuan ca to school afterwards. The timing and the misunderstanding that it wrought made perfect sense.

The teacher sent them away after explaining everything to the police. Then, he turned his attention to Miaomiao and explained that Zhou Yuan was an extrely intelligent student and was very wealthy; therefore, he wasn't a thief.

Zhou Yuan glanced at Miaomiao when the teacher ntioned his na. He assud that Miaomiao should be able to rember him.

Miaomiao was disconcerted since the teacher said he believed Zhou Yuan over her words.

The teacher still believed him even though it’s the sa bracelet.

The teacher finally said, "Please apologize to classmate Zhou Yuan. You broke soone's bracelet."

Miaomiao realized the futility of responding, so she clenched her fists and prepared to apologize in reluctance.

While Zhou Yuan did desire an apology from the other party, he never thought that the other party would be Miaomiao. He quickly said, "No need. It was just a misunderstanding. No one believed that we had the sa bracelet."

Despite Zhou Yuan's words, Miaomiao still followed the teacher's orders and bowed, and she hung her head, "I'm sorry. I've wronged you."

She seed to clench each word as she spoke.

Seeing her clenching her teeth, Zhou Yuan knew then in his heart that she did not recognize him at all, no matter how

Although he was a little disappointed, he still asked her, "Do you really not rember ?"

Miaomiao raised her head and said, "I will rember you. I will always rember you."

Miaomiao sat quietly in her seat all afternoon without uttering a word. Her classmates kept approaching her and asked if anything happened to her.

Zhou Yuan noticed how popular she was in class.

Miaomiao told them everything was fine, but she refused to speak with Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan touched his nose and watched Miaomiao drawing sothing in her sketchbook before declaring, "We t when we were kids. You gave

that bracelet. Do you really not rember , Miaomiao?"

Miaomiao continued to ignore him.

I bought several bracelets a long ti ago. I gave one to Jingjing, Deng Feng, and soone else...

Wait...

As she mulled over it, Miaomiao froze. Her head was a ss. She slowly rembered that she also gave one to another person. She could only recall a few mories about this person since her other mories took center stage in a disorganized way in her mind, like a pile of clutter. She recalled soone nad "congee".

When they were children, Miaomiao rembered that she had exchanged vows with him to never forget each other's nas. His na was 'congee', which was a foodstuff. Later...he went to university!

Miaomiao turned her head and gazed at the boy standing next to her.

Why is he smugly smiling at ? And besides, that boy should've graduated from college by now. How is he still a high school student?

She didn't want to argue with him at all. And his attitude made her feel as if it would be useless to try.

Zhou Yuan was a little hurt. Despite everything he said, she still could not rember him at all, yet he rembered everything about her.

He walked out of the room, and when he returned, he placed sothing atop her desk. It was an ice pack.

Zhou Yuan didn't know what had transpired that caused her face to beco so swollen, but her face was tinged with shades of crimson, which the ice pack could help alleviate.

When school ended during the afternoon, Jingjing ca to look for Miaomiao, but she wasn't there.

Miaomiao didn't tell her parents that she had been robbed. She was now outside her school, and she was traversing down a street, which bustled with activity.

With pen and paper in hand, Miaomiao realized that the only person that she could rely on was herself. She had to be the one schoolbag.

She was incognizant of the difficulty of this task, for she didn't know how many places she needed to search.

She suspected that the thief would certainly not hold onto a large red schoolbag; it was far too conspicuous and eye-catching.

He probably threw it away.

Miaomiao rembered which direction the motorcycle drove off towards, and she began walking in the sa direction. She started to scour the garbage cans at the corner of the street for any clues about the whereabouts of her bag.

When her grandmother passed away, the thought of never seeing her again made her feel really uncomfortable.

When she couldn't find it there, she kept combing the streets by moving from one place to another.

The physical discomfort, which was caused by this simple yet repetitive movent, made her feel a little relieved, for this discomfort made her feel as if she was making progress.

While she was searching for her bag, she ca across an old lady who was combing through the trash.

The old lady was dragging a large bag behind her, and Miaomiao caught a glimpse of her red schoolbag within it.

Miaomiao was overjoyed, and she hurried after her, "Grandma, hello."

The old lady peered at her and wondered why she had accosted her.

Miaomiao quickly said, "Grandma, this schoolbag belongs to . I have sothing very important in there. Would you allow

to take a look at it?"

The old woman looked at her warily and suspiciously before saying, "I picked this bag out of the trash; it's mine."

Miaomiao didn't want to argue with the old lady. "Grandma, I don't need the schoolbag. You can keep it. I just want sothing that's inside of it."

The old woman handed the schoolbag to her and burbled, "You threw it away, and I found it. Yet now you’re asking for it back? This schoolbag is still intact and has its use.”

“It was stolen from

actually.”

She rummaged through the bag and found that her textbooks were still in the bag, but her wallet was missing. When she opened one of the inner pockets, she found the amulet inside.

Miaomiao quickly took it out, looked at the lost amulet, and cried with excitent.

I got it back, and I swear never to lose it ever again.

After returning to school, Miaomiao went to wash her hands. When she ca back to her classroom, she noticed that everyone was looking at her strangely.

During this transient mont of silence, Miaomiao didn't care about what anyone else was thinking or talking about. She returned to her seat and noticed that her tablemate hadn't arrived yet.

She sat down, and a girl behind Miaomiao imdiately poked her with a finger. Then she uttered, "Class president, this is for you."

She presented a small pink box before her; Miaomiao looked at it in surprise.

The girl stood up and hugged her. "Class president. We will always be there for you."

Another girl handed her a lunch box and chirruped, "Here's sothing warm for you to eat. Jingjing told us that you haven't eaten at all today."

This group of high school girls had no idea how to comfort their class leader, whose loved one had passed away, but they tried their best and ca up with so ideas.

Moved by their concern, Miaomiao hugged her and wept in her arms.

Jingjing arrived at Miaomiao's classroom and found no one inside. Jingjing felt a little strange, but when she departed the classroom, she found that everyone from Miaomiao's class was running around in circles in the playground.

The person who ran in front was Hua Miaomiao. Her very essence seed to be filled with energy, and she ran like a madman possessed.

Jingjing joined her and ran with her.

They were followed by many classmates. Several minutes later, the girls were too tired to run anymore, so they reposed on the grass, whereas Miaomiao and the boys continued their run. The boys ran two more laps; then, they stopped and sprawled themselves on the grass.

Miaomiao continued to run alone as if she was a madman possessed.

One of her classmates asked, "Did our class president break the record today?"

"She must be sad. I could understand."

Another classmate added, "When my grandma passed away, I did the sa."

"I t the class president's grandma. She had a very gentle personality."

"I also t her."

The boys felt a little strange, "When did you et her?"

"When they were renovating the dormitory, we weren't allowed to live there anymore. You boys all went to the cafe, whereas the class president took the girls to her house."

"It was during our three-day holiday. The school didn't want us to live in the dormitory due to the renovation, and our hos were too far away, so the class president allowed us to sojourn in her house. We didn't even need to pay them for our sojourn."

"Can you all live there?"

"The class president's bed was large enough for eight people to sleep on it. The other girls had to sleep on the floor. Her grandmother insisted that we sleep with her in her room, but we wanted to chat at night, so we didn't."

Jingjing got up and grabbed Miaomiao as she was passing by. "Take a break," she implored as she hugged her.

Everyone lounged on the playground, and they refused to get up due to their languor.

Miaomiao looked up at the sky and noticed that nightti was approaching, for the evening sun's aureous luster was beginning to surrender to the dark indigos of the night.

One of her classmates said, "I rember the last ti we ran around like this. We were watching a film in our class, and it interrupted the neighboring class' study session."

"Our class should have also gone and reported those people next door when they first saw Sadako in the study hall."

Miaomiao, who lounged languorously there, couldn't help but reply, "You...you were being disobedient..." She then coughed thrice before continuing, "...At that ti, I said that the teacher would definitely co and take a gander at our second class, but you didn't listen."

Miaomiao asked again, "How long until class starts?"

"It's still going to take a long ti. Let's just lay here for a while and rest."

"Yes, yes. Anyways, the English teacher will be watching over the first class of the evening's self-study session. After a while, she will notice that everyone is gone and that there are more than forty empty seats. She'll probably still stay in the class to watch over the seats."

"The English teacher is too funny. She always scolds us using the sa sentence."

The male classmate mimicked the English teacher and began speaking, "It's up to you whether to listen to

or not. The school will still pay

like usual. Even if the classroom is empty and all 42 seats are devoid of students, I'll still teach."

"And she also says this. If you haven't done your howork today, get out of my classroom! Without you sesa seeds, I can't fry the oil!"

"That one was the funniest, and as a result, the top ten students in class all went out. Soone said in a private group chat that without these ten sesa seeds, the rest of our group of muggles really couldn't fry the oil."

Miaomiao listened to her classmates' rants. After running around too much, her entire body went limp, and she didn't have the strength to talk, but her heart slowly cald down.

"Did you guys already forget her classic line?" In a shrill voice, one boy chirruped, "You girls who are wearing skirts to school. Are you here for school, or are you trying to flirt and seduce?"

"Hahahahahaha, don't talk about that!" Jingjing erupted in laughter, "And the very next day, you boys were a sight to behold at school! Your little incident would go down in school history!"

Miaomiao couldn't resist smiling. The next day, all the boys from their class ca to school wearing skirts in an attempt to mock their teacher.

It was particularly sensational, and it was a popular topic to talk about at school.

Although both the teacher and the school reproached her, the class president, the English teacher never reprimanded the girls or complained about their attire since that incident.

Everyone chatted and thought of many funny occurrences.

"What do you think of the handso, new student, class president?"

Miaomiao was taken aback and replied, "...I don't know."

"The next class is full of idiots who don't know that he's out of their league. Soone should confess to him soon."

"Class president. You should just confess to him and make him your boyfriend. That'll piss off that group of girls next door."

Although the two classes had the sa teachers in every subject and were considered to be "brother classes
