When Cheng Si came out of the office, he saw Lin Zhi leaning on the railing in the aisle. When he saw Cheng Si coming out, he turned his head and looked at him. "Let's go," he said and walked forward in a not very happy mood.

Cheng Si didn't know what to say at this moment. After they walked for a while in silence, he still asked out of concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Zhi didn't say anything. Cheng Si sighed inwardly, remembering that Lin Zhi had the same situation in his previous life. He was in a bad mood and ignored everyone. So he didn't ask again, and the two of them remained silent all the way.

Almost reaching the teaching building, Lin Zhi suddenly said, "My parents are getting divorced."

Cheng Si was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to comfort her. He was also afraid that he would say something wrong again, so he finally said sorry.

Lin Zhi smiled bitterly, "What are you saying sorry for? It's not your fault. Maybe I did too many bad things in the past, and bad things keep happening one after another."

Cheng Si didn't know what he had been through to say such decisive words. Seeing him like this, she felt a little uncomfortable. Finally, she freed a hand and patted his back, "It will be fine."

"Hmm," Lin Zhi sniffed and adjusted his state, "Let's go back to class first!"

All day long, Cheng Si watched Lin Zhi listening to the class attentively and doing homework even after class. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad for his sudden diligence. After all, what caused good habits to change? The process of growing up quickly probably involves going through all kinds of hardships.

After the school teachers discussed the matter of the back window, Cheng Si and Lin Zhi did not receive any punishment except for paying for the classroom glass.

After the subsequent impact of this incident, the school also paid attention to the safety hazards in the school, so they often heard noisy sounds of construction in a corner outside the window.

Many classes were annoyed by the noise during lunch break, especially the third-year students.

As one of their classmates put it, "Is the school targeting me? Why am I the one who suffers the consequences but not the one who gets the benefits?"

This really seems to be Murphy's Law of school: as soon as you graduate, the school will be renovated.

……

The days passed one by one, the high school entrance examination was getting closer, and the students also felt nervous about the exam. The noisy voices of students were no longer heard during breaks, and Ding Ke's face was full of relief.

But studying also requires proper relaxation. In order to adjust the students' mindset, the teachers held a meeting and discussed and decided that each class teacher should organize an interesting and fun class meeting for the students and play some small games.

As a class committee member, Cheng Si has more things to worry about. The teacher asked them to purchase some materials for class activities.

During the lunch break on Friday, their class committee had a discussion and Cheng Si and Yu Jiajia, the class's arts and literature committee member, were assigned to a group. Their task was to purchase school supplies as prizes for the activity.

The two of them took a car to a bookstore not too close to the school. Yu Jiajia said, "Of course, it should be a little bit unique. The bookstore near our school is too shabby, the books are all of the same style, and the things are expensive!"

Cheng Si thought it made sense, and they were afraid they would be late, so they called a car to go there. When they arrived at the restaurant, Yu Jiajia introduced it to Cheng Si enthusiastically, "Student Councillor, I know this area well, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll treat you."

Cheng Si had a good impression of Yu Jiajia, and thought she was lively and cute. He smiled at her and said, "Then recommend a good place to eat, and I'll treat you."

"Then I'd like to thank you in advance, Boss Cheng," the girl said with a smile as she led the way, "There's a spicy hot pot restaurant nearby that's really good!"

As they were talking, the two of them were almost at the store. Yu Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily today is not the weekend, so there aren't many people."

There weren't many people in the restaurant, so the two quickly chose their meals and got a number. They found a seat by the window and sat down. It was boring for them to sit and wait, so Yu Jiajia, a talkative girl, took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Hey, student council member, are you planning to take the entrance exam for No. 1 Middle School?"

"Yes," Cheng Si replied calmly, wiping the table with the tissue beside him.

Seeing this, Yu Jiajia also wiped the table like Cheng Si did, "I want to take the exam, but my grades are not that good. I guess I will be at the bottom of the class if I get into that school."

"A good environment is helpful for learning. The content learned in high school is also different. Maybe your grades will get better and better in the future," Cheng Si comforted.

"That's right," Yu Jiajia thought it made sense, and seemed to have thought of something. "By the way, Lin Zhi's grades have improved a lot during this period, but his enthusiasm for studying is really scary. It feels like he has become a different person."

"He was in a bad mood and used studying to divert his attention," Cheng Si explained lightly without elaborating.

"Then he really has potential! I guess he didn't study hard enough before," Yu Jiajia was very tactful and didn't ask any more questions. She sighed, "I hope he gets better soon. I kind of miss his loud voice in the classroom now. Even if we can't be like before, at least he can be happier."

Cheng Si also hummed with melancholy. Just at this moment, their number was called. Cheng Si asked Yu Jiajia to sit and wait while he went to get the food.

When he came back, he was carrying a tray in one hand and walking towards his seat. He closed his eyes a little to avoid spilling the soup, and walked carefully. He was not paying attention to the road and there was a person walking in front of him. He almost bumped into that person, and was pulled to the side by an arm. Cheng Si was still in shock.

A chuckle came from above his head, "Are you so hungry that you don't even look at the road ahead?" Cheng Si steadied the two bowls and looked up to see a handsome face. Jin Li lowered his head and nodded, his emotion unclear.

Cheng Si's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect to meet Jin Li here. He subconsciously took two steps back to create some distance and said awkwardly, "Thank you."

Jin Li pulled the corner of his mouth a little, looking at the two trays in his hands, "Eating with your girlfriend?"

Jin Li arrived earlier than Cheng Si. Jin Li noticed Cheng Si when he walked in. After all, he was eye-catching. There was a sweet-looking girl beside him. The two found a seat and chatted, talking and laughing.

At this moment, Jin Li had just eaten a few bites with his classmates when he saw Cheng Si carrying two trays without even looking at the road. Jin Li was paying attention to the movement over there and was about to bump into someone. His dining position was close, so he subconsciously stood up and went over to pull him up.

Cheng Si frowned when he heard him say that, "That's my classmate."

"Very good, very consistent with the image of a middle school student. The high school entrance exam is coming soon, do well in the exam, and don't fall in love too early at this critical time." Jin Li raised the corner of his mouth, and his mood somehow improved, and he said so.

Cheng Si didn't know what was wrong with this guy. He clearly looked like the kind of person who didn't study well and would fall in love prematurely, so it felt a bit awkward for him to say this to himself.

He nodded perfunctorily, thinking that it would be awkward to go back to his seat first, as it would not be appropriate to carry two trays, so he said to Jin Li, "Wait for me here!"

After saying that, he returned to his seat with two plates, said something to Yu Jiajia, and came over quickly.

Cheng Si glanced at him and said, "Have you chosen your meal? I'll pay for you."

Jin Li stood there and raised his eyebrows.

Cheng Si explained, "You invited me last time."

Jin Li had forgotten about it a long time ago, but when Cheng Si mentioned it, he remembered it, "I'm eating right now," he paused for a moment and deliberately said, "Little classmate, you can have another bowl, but I was with you last time..., and now you let me eat alone, isn't that bullying me?"

Seeing him like this, Cheng Si thought that he was too frivolous and always liked to tease people. She pursed her lips and said, "Then next time." After saying that, she returned to her seat without even looking at Jin Li.

Yu Jiajia glanced at Jin Li a few times, looking gossipy, "Is that handsome guy on the student council your friend?"

Cheng Si shook his head, "No,"

"I don't believe it. Then why did you talk to him for so long? Did he want to seduce you?" Yu Jiajia looked gossipy. "He smiled at you in a very ambiguous way."

"It's the creditor!" Cheng Si interrupted the girl's fantasy, analyzed their relationship, and said these two words.

"Wow!" Yu Jiajia smiled wickedly when she heard that. She had already imagined a wonderful drama in her mind.

Cheng Si didn't know what Yu Jiajia was thinking. He started eating his meal and reminded her, "Eat quickly. We still need to buy things later."

Yu Jiajia nodded, cleared her mind of the messy thoughts, and buried her head in eating, a little embarrassedly.

The two of them were eating quietly.
