Two notebooks from class, one belonging to Xia Shiyu and the other to Lin Xiaowan.
Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan stammered, "You're not good at English, are you? I'm lending this to you, maybe it'll be useful."
"There's also Xiao Yu's notebook, you can use it as a reference."
"Ah~! Thank you then."
After speaking, Su Lin put both notebooks into his desk.
Although their voices were very low, the people around them could still hear clearly. Their jaws immediately dropped.
Yan Huan, in particular, shifted her gaze back and forth between Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan several times.
She couldn't understand why Lin Xiaowan's attitude towards Su Lin had changed so drastically all of a sudden.
"Xiao Wan, what's been going on with you lately? You're not dating Su Lin, are you?"
Lin Xiaowan shot Yan Huan a glare. "How is that possible? You're overthinking things."
"But you never lend your class notes to anyone else, let alone Su Lin."
Lin Xiaowan said with a serious expression, "It's not that I don't want to lend them to others, it's just that no one has ever asked me before, understand?!"
"Uh..."
"Alright, let's focus on our morning reading. The monthly exam is coming up soon."
"Okay~!!"
The morning passed peacefully.
When the last class was about to end, Yan Huan suddenly approached Lin Xiaowan, asking to borrow money, claiming she had lost her meal card.
Lin Xiaowan looked at Yan Huan with a strange expression.
She suddenly remembered what Su Lin had told her just yesterday: Yan Huan would definitely ask her to borrow money within three days.
At the time, she hadn't taken it seriously, thinking Su Lin was being alarmist.
She never expected it would come true just one day later.
Was this a coincidence, or did Su Lin have uncanny foresight?
Yan Huan searched her entire body, turning her pockets inside out. "Xiao Wan, I remember I brought my meal card, but I really can't find it now. Wuwuwu..."
Lin Xiaowan carefully observed Yan Huan's every expression, trying to confirm if Yan Huan was lying.
However, Yan Huan's expression was flawless at this moment; she just kept searching her pockets, looking genuinely anxious.
Lin Xiaowan sighed inwardly. If it wasn't a coincidence, then Su Lin had predicted correctly. It was truly an excuse without any flaws.
Lin Xiaowan was slowly starting to believe Su Lin's words. "Huanhuan, I'm sorry, I left early today and forgot to bring money."
"Ah~! Is that so?"
Yan Huan was greatly disappointed.
However, she quickly added, "Then Xiao Wan, can I borrow your meal card? I'll return it to you once I find mine."
"Uh..."
Seeing Lin Xiaowan hesitate, Yan Huan felt displeased, but she didn't show it at all.
After all, in her eyes, Lin Xiaowan was someone who was foolish and had plenty of money. Falling out with such a person would be truly foolish.
"Xiao Wan..."
"Fine, fine. I rarely use my meal card anyway. Huanhuan, you can use mine for now."
"Thank you, Xiao Wan, you're too kind."
Fearing Lin Xiaowan might change her mind, Yan Huan snatched the meal card from Lin Xiaowan's hand.
Afterward, she felt her action was a bit inappropriate and just gave Lin Xiaowan a sheepish smile.
"Xiao Wan, let's go eat together."
For some reason, Lin Xiaowan suddenly felt that her deskmate of three years had become uninteresting.
She didn't want to be with Yan Huan.
So, Lin Xiaowan shook her head. "I'd rather not. I'll eat with Xiao Yu. You can use my meal card, just return it to me before school ends."
Yan Huan could sense the distance in Lin Xiaowan's tone. She quickly said, "Xiao Wan, you should come with me instead. I'll save you a seat."
Lin Xiaowan firmly shook her head. "No, I already agreed with Xiao Yu yesterday. I wanted to ask her how her dad is doing."
"This... Alright then."
Both fell silent.
Although they didn't voice it, both girls understood that their previously close relationship was now a thing of the past.
Starting today, they would gradually grow apart.
Yan Huan reflected for a long time, replaying every word she had said, but couldn't find anything wrong.
She could only go downstairs with a few close girlfriends.
Changed targets again [Seeking flowers and votes]
In the cafeteria, Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan, and Xia Shiyu sat opposite each other.
Su Lin was heartily eating the food in his bowl. Xia Shiyu also ate in small bites, while Lin Xiaowan had a troubled look on her face, constantly poking the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks.
Both Su Lin and Xia Shiyu noticed something was wrong with Lin Xiaowan.
"Xiao Yu, what's wrong with Xiao Wan?"
Xia Shiyu shook her head, "I don't know. She was fine this morning."
"Ask her..."
Xia Shiyu knew Su Lin liked Lin Xiaowan, and her eyes dimmed upon hearing Su Lin's concern for Lin Xiaowan.
Then she nodded, "Okay~!!"
Xia Shiyu grabbed Lin Xiaowan's shoulders and shook her, "Xiao Wan, what's wrong? You're not even eating properly. Are you troubled by something?"
Lin Xiaowan looked up and glared at Su Lin, "No, what could I possibly be troubled by?"
Su Lin was a bit confused, "If you have nothing to be troubled by, why are you glaring at me?"
"It's all your fault, you jinx."
"Me, a jinx?" Su Lin pointed at himself, looking puzzled.
"Yes, it's because yesterday you said Huanhuan..."
Lin Xiaowan stopped herself just in time, but Su Lin already knew what she wanted to say.
Yan Huan would go to any lengths to get a small advantage.
The book recorded how she borrowed money everywhere and then asked Ye Feng to repay it.
Later, after Ye Feng was reborn, he refused to help her repay it, and it all blew up before the exams.
Everyone then realized that Yan Huan had unknowingly owed money to many people.
Su Lin chuckled, "So I was right."
Xia Shiyu looked at Su Lin, "Su Lin, what's going on?"
Su Lin shrugged, "It was just a small prediction, and unfortunately, it came true."
"Eat your meal. You can't control your mouth even when eating."
"I'd love to eat, but there are too few meat dishes in the cafeteria. Xiao Wan, you know me, I'm used to good food, and you don't eat much, so can you spare some of the dishes for me?"
"Eat, eat, it's all for you."
As she spoke, Lin Xiaowan pushed all the meat dishes from her plate into Su Lin's plate.
"Heh, it's a waste if I don't eat it."
"Hmph..."
Lin Xiaowan knew she was acting a bit like a spoiled girl right now, but she couldn't help it.
She could have had a good ending with Yan Huan, but this incident happened, and now even sitting together at the same table was awkward.
All of this was the result after Su Lin reminded her.
However, seeing Su Lin accept it all and indulge her childish temper without any dissatisfaction made her feel a little sweet inside.
Su Lin's doting smile was truly captivating.
Xia Shiyu looked at Lin Xiaowan with envy.
If only Su Lin treated her like this...
Xia Shiyu shook her head, dismissing what she considered an unrealistic thought.
Although Su Lin had donated a lot of money, she knew he was purely helping classmates out of kindness.
He didn't have any romantic intentions towards her.
