158: Good morning, Mengmeng!

It seemed that because he had truly dated Xie Xingmeng for several years, there were many memories between them. The subsequent memory scenes were full of sweet moments, one after another.

Lin You, in his conscious state, watched with an aunt-like smile.

So, watching 'other people' fall in love is so interesting, haha.

The last scene of the memory footage froze with the two heading to a certain hotel. Just as Lin You began to feel parched and anticipate something, the entire world dissipated like a misty light, and his consciousness returned to the system Panel.

Screw you! Give me my money back!

Lin You lay on the chair for a long time, as if he had just watched a romantic youth film, deeply immersed and unable to extricate himself.

Finally, after his emotions calmed down, Lin You picked up his phone and saw that it was almost midnight. Only then did he feel the heavy pressure on his bladder. He quickly sprang from the chair, fumbled to unlock the bedroom door, and rushed towards the public restroom.

After relieving his physiological pressure, Lin You passed through the living room and smelled chicken soup. He approached the dining table and saw a large box of chicken soup being kept warm.

A sticky note was attached to the chicken soup thermos, which read: Son, your dad was afraid you were too tired, so he just went out to find a restaurant and brought back a stewed old hen soup for you. Remember to finish it later. You also need to balance work and rest and take care of your body. Love, your mom and dad~

Lin You happily drank the chicken soup, thinking that he was indeed his parents' favorite child.

In the master bedroom, Wang Huilin and Lin Zhijun exchanged glances. "Let's buy more good ingredients from now on."

After finishing the chicken soup and returning to his bedroom, Lin You took out his phone, replied to the accumulated messages, and finally couldn't resist opening the chat window with Xie Xingmeng.

After much hesitation, Lin You started typing.

"Xie Xingmeng, before grade 12, how did you see me?"

Xie Xingmeng on the other side hadn't slept either, and her reply came quickly.

"Looking back at you, you were sitting in the back row, how else could I see you?"

"…"

"I mean! How did you view me? What kind of person was I in your eyes?"

"A bit lazy, a bit dejected, a bit dazed, and... a bit stupid, but you're quite handsome."

???

How am I also a bit stupid?

"Stupid?"

"You always liked other people before, aren't you stupid?"

"Oh, you're absolutely right! (Little cat giving a thumbs-up emoji)"

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I just watched a romance movie, it was over three hours long."

"You still like watching romance movies?"

"Occasionally. The female lead looks a lot like you."

"You're not going to say next that the male lead looks a lot like you, are you?"

"…"

Xie Xingmeng, quickly return to your 'one year later' self! You were so doting on me back then!

After chatting with Xie Xingmeng and feeling the real Xie Xingmeng, Lin You finally pulled himself out of the feeling of loss after watching the memories.

Then he took out a set of Physics, Chemistry, Biology exam papers, ready to fiercely tackle them before sleeping.

The next day.

Lin You groggily climbed up from his desk. After washing up, he walked out with book marks pressed into his face.

Arriving at the grade 12 class 7 classroom, Lin You went over to Wang Xiaoyi and Xu Sisi, taking a bun with one hand and soy milk with the other.

With the cool breeze blowing, Lin You, though a bit sleepy, had cleared his head and knew where to find food.

Wang Xiaoyi stared at Lin You's face. "What happened to your face?"

"Oh, this?" Lin You casually pinched his face. "I studied until past two last night and accidentally fell asleep at my desk. My face was pressed against a book, leaving some marks. They should disappear soon."

"Past two?!" ×2

Lin You arrived later than usual today, and many Classmates were already seated in the classroom, attracted by the commotion from Lin You's side.

"No way? Studying until two in the morning? You're messing with us, Lin You! Buddy, I've got nothing left, I really can't keep up..."

"Brother You, are you trying to see Ancheng at four in the morning?"

"Lin You, don't sleep on your desk next time. My bed is quite big, why don't you sleep with me?"

"Damn! A cunning 0?"

In the noisy classroom, Wang Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "You, you need to take care of your body, balance work and rest. While studying is important, but..."

Wang Xiaoyi clearly rarely 'lectured' others, speaking haltingly. Lin You couldn't help but reach out and ruffle Wang Xiaoyi's head. "You're the one who should be told that, right? Look at you, your dark circles have gotten much worse recently."

Xu Sisi was a bit nervous on the side, wondering if Lin You were to rub her head, should she resist or comply? She had been paying her 'good friend fee' for many days, she couldn't let it all go to waste, could she?

Fortunately, Lin You only ruffled Wang Xiaoyi's head and made no other moves.

After Lin You finished his bun and soy milk, he burped and got up to return to his seat.

Xu Sisi helped Wang Xiaoyi tidy her hair, while quietly and 'fiercely' saying, "Next time Lin You bullies you again, I definitely won't stand by and do nothing!"

Wang Xiaoyi secretly watched Lin You's back and softly retorted, "He's only like this because he considers me a good friend. He said that only good friends get their heads patted."

...Just as he sat down in his own seat, Lin You saw Xie Xingmeng walk into the classroom.

After watching an immersive 'romance movie,' Xie Xingmeng's status as 'ex-girlfriend' was no longer an empty phrase but became incredibly concrete. Since the memory fragments from last night did not include memories of breaking up, the 'ex' in 'ex-girlfriend' could temporarily be removed.

Lin You couldn't help but walk over and sit in Wang Lian's seat.

"Hello, hello, good morning, Little Mengmeng."

Although Lin You's voice was low, Xie Xingmeng was right beside him and heard every word clearly.

She turned her head in shock, her face full of disbelief, rapidly turning red.

"What did you call me?"

Little Mengmeng was the affectionate term used after establishing a relationship with Xie Xingmeng 'one year later' in the memories. Lin You regretted it as soon as he said it and quickly corrected himself.

"I called you Xie Xingmeng."

"You clearly didn't!"

"I clearly did!"

The two sat there, looking at each other, neither willing to concede. Soon, Wang Lian walked in.

"Lin You, class is about to start..."

Lin You immediately said, "I'll give you Sister Yin's milk tea today, and you switch seats with me for one class."

Wang Lian immediately beamed with joy. "Okay! You can keep sitting there, sit wherever you want, even until school ends today!"

Under Xie Xingmeng's traitorous gaze, Wang Lian walked towards the back row.

The two were silent. Lin You simply propped his head on his desk, staring directly at Xie Xingmeng.

As expected of his 'girlfriend,' she's really beautiful, and her figure... is also very good.

Xie Xingmeng felt uncomfortable under Lin You's gaze. She suddenly remembered the KTV night after winning the basketball game and looked at Lin You suspiciously. "Did you, after watching the romance movie last night... also watch an adult movie?"

...Today's first class was math. Old Zhang entered the classroom and habitually glanced at Lin You's seat, then, seeing Wang Lian there, glanced at Wang Lian's original seat.

Oh, Lin You and Xie Xingmeng are sitting together.

What else could two students with scores above 600 be doing together in class?

Of course, they're studying hard!

Old Zhang just smiled and nodded, then suddenly realized something was amiss and looked back at Wang Lian's seat... "Chen Yang, don't you have your own seat? Who allowed you to switch seats? Why don't you sit on the podium, and I'll give you my seat?"

Amidst the students' laughter, Chen Yang returned to his seat. He just wanted to take advantage of the chaos, what did he do wrong?!

Old Zhang, Old Zhang, you allow your precious Lin You to set fires, but I can't even secretly light a lamp, can I?
