"Lu? Uh, he’s not chasing after ," Bai Xue denied falteringly.
I don’t believe you for a second! Zhen Yu thought to herself sarcastically, but outwardly she asked, "If he’s not chasing you, why are you so nervous?!"
Bai Xue’s expression was sowhat indescribable, "He... Ah! I’m also a bit at a loss about what he’s been thinking lately!"
"What’s there to be at a loss about! Just take your ti and explain," Zhen Yu suggested enthusiastically.
After mulling it over, Bai Xue just put down her chopsticks! Then she leaned close to Zhen Yu’s ear and whispered, "It seems like he likes !"
"Be more confident! Get rid of the ’seems’!"
Zhen Yu only said this in her mind, but outwardly she followed up with, "Oh? And then what?"
"Then, then he hasn’t said anything to !" Bai Xue spread her hands helplessly.
Zhen Yu laughed, "Then why are you getting worked up by yourself! What if it’s just your imagination?"
"Impossible!" Bai Xue declared resolutely! "It’s definitely not my imagination! Because,"
"Because why?" Bai Xue was halfway through her sentence when Zhen Yu naturally asked.
"Because he, um um um..." Bai Xue really didn’t know how to describe Lu Huai’s recent behavior, she was as anxious as anything!
A light bulb went off in Zhen Yu’s head, and she suddenly hinted, "Just tell what he’s been doing lately!"
Bai Xue’s rambling instantly stopped! Then she said, "Lately he’s just going nuts for no reason! Whenever soone gives sothing, he rushes over like he’s robbing them and takes it all! Also, he cos over to talk to as soon as class ends! And it’s all just useless nonsense! If I think about leaving the classroom, he asks what I’m doing! During the ten-minute break, I can’t go anywhere without him following , even to the bathroom!"
Zhen Yu was almost dying of laughter inside, but she still had to maintain a calm listener’s expression on the outside!
It was indeed quite a challenge.
Luckily, Bai Xue just ranted for a bit and then stopped talking, allowing Zhen Yu to take a deep breath to suppress her laughter.
Then she said, "It sounds like he’s a bit abnormal."
Bai Xue imdiately responded discontentedly, "What do you an ’sounds like’! It’s way too abnormal! Lu Huai is just being childish!"
Zhen Yu gave Bai Xue a aningful look, thinking to herself: "You’re no different!"
She had no intention of helping Bai Xue with her emotional issues; she just wanted to get a sense of the situation. Now knowing it wasn’t a big deal, Zhen Yu smoothly changed the topic, "Since Lu Huai hovers around you even after class, what do you think he’ll do during the spring outing tomorrow?"
Bai Xue was speechless!
"...I’ll just listen to you then! I reckon even if I ask him so silly question, Lu Huai won’t dare to laugh at !"
"Yeah! I think so too!" Zhen Yu nodded and then, still not reassured, she cautioned, "The park is really big, but I bet Lu Huai has been there before! You must stick close to him and the group! Don’t wander off by yourself and get lost!"
Bai Xue nodded vigorously, "Mhm mhm! I got it!"
"Let’s eat..."

Early Saturday morning, the students all set off on ti with backpacks full of snacks and water as the teacher had instructed, taking the bus.
Laughter filled the bus, and Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue were also whispering in their seats together.
"When I got ho last night, my dad said he received a mail package for ! It’s a sample copy of ’Immortal Tribulation’!"
"Did you bring it? Let see it!" Zhen Yu asked eagerly upon hearing this.
"No!" Han Mingyue smiled and shook her head, "It was agreed long ago! My sample copy is yours! And yours is mine! So you have to trade a handwritten letter for it!"
"Ah!" Zhen Yu slapped her head, "Sorry about that! I completely forgot! Let’s exchange the calligraphy practice sheets tomorrow!"
Zhen Yu actually carried her calligraphy practice sheets with her in her space all the ti.
But the problem was if she gave them to Han Mingyue now, he would have to carry them around all day today, and they are really heavy!
So, forget it! It doesn’t make a difference for such a short ti...
"Okay!" Han Mingyue nodded, then hesitated a bit before saying, "There’s another thing I want to discuss with you."
"What is it? Say it quickly!" Seeing Han Mingyue’s expression, Zhen Yu thought he had encountered so difficult problem!
But then Han Mingyue brought up his younger brother, "Jiaoyang is going to have his middle school exam in just over a month, right?"
"Right! The middle school exam is at the end of June! Ti really flies!"
Zhen Yu offhandedly echoed a couple of sentences, then continued to press, "What then?"
"Then, I was thinking of giving him a crash course to catch up!"
After saying this, Han Mingyue was like a faucet that had been turned on, and his words started flowing out much more smoothly.
"But as you know about my family situation, we don’t have separate rooms, and the living room isn’t suitable for studying with all the foot traffic. So, can Jiaoyang and I stay at your place for two months?"
"Is it just this little matter? That’s more than fine!" Zhen Yu thought Han Mingyue was making a mountain out of a molehill, "Why don’t you move in tonight? The house is empty anyway!"
After hearing Zhen Yu’s suggestion, Han Mingyue didn’t beat around the bush and directly nodded his agreent: "Okay!"

Since it was a school-organized activity, the park spring outing’s itinerary was exactly like a modern travel agency group tour!
Before getting off the bus, everyone was required to wear the little red hats that had been distributed, strictly according to the rules!
The class teachers were waving little triangular flags with "Qi City No.1 High School Freshman Class X" printed on them!
Teacher Wu stressed repeatedly that after getting off the bus, everyone must stand in two columns, with the class president and vice class president bringing up the rear!
Everything that Zhen Yu saw made her feel inexplicably amused, and even while she was standing in line, the corners of her mouth were still slightly upturned.
Han Mingyue couldn’t help but lean over and ask in a low voice, "Do you like spring outings?"
"Sowhat..." Zhen Yu’s ambiguous answer was sowhat puzzling.
So after a few thoughts had spun in his head, Han Mingyue continued to probe, "Didn’t you say you’re going to co again with Bai Xue? Do you prefer it when there are fewer or more people? Do we need to invite a few more people to co along?"
"No need!" Zhen Yu quickly rejected the idea! After thinking for a bit, she added, "I’ll ask Bai Xue if we need to invite Lu Huai."
Han Mingyue blinked, "Bai Xue and Lu Huai?"
"Heh!"
Every ti Zhen Yu thought about what Bai Xue had said last ti, she couldn’t help but laugh!
So she pondered while smiling, then said, "The two of them are neither clear nor muddled with each other right now!"
Han Mingyue also smiled knowingly.
He wasn’t well-acquainted with Lu Huai, so he definitely wouldn’t interfere in this matter!
Even if soday Lu Huai really ca to him for help, he would have to ask the two girls for their true thoughts and feelings first before deciding whether or not to help.
Right now, everything was too premature to say, so he just treated it as gossip...
