The class sports representative threw himself into recruiting, and in the space of one break, he filled every slot for the Sports Meet.

"If only last year's job had been this easy."

Wang Gaoyi sighed. "I love Science Class 1. I love sports."

Ruan Mian was distracted all day. The sight of that bruise wouldn't leave her mind.

Had it been an accidental injury?

She dismissed the thought as soon as it arose. No accident could have left such a large bruise on someone's chest.

Could it have been a traffic accident?

Ruan Mian suddenly remembered the huge bruise Mother Ruan had gotten on her thigh after riding an electric scooter last week. Deng Qin, their homeroom teacher, seemed to ride one too.

That thought eased Ruan Mian's mind a little.

Lu Mingqian tapped on her desk. "Ruan Mian, have you finished looking at my math notes?"

Ruan Mian snapped back to herself. "I've got one page left. Do you need them now? Sorry."

She took out the notes and handed them to Lu Mingqian.

Lu Mingqian accepted them. "I'll give them back after I've finished organizing them."

Ruan Mian felt grateful. "Thank you, Lu Mingqian."

"You're welcome," Lu Mingqian said.

Then he focused on his notes without asking about her unusual behavior that day.

"If you're not feeling well, you can go to the Infirmary," he added.

Warmth stirred in Ruan Mian's heart. "Thanks. It's nothing serious."

Her worries had lifted, and she felt much better.

"Mm," Lu Mingqian said.

The two fell quiet.

Shen Baili turned around and happened to see Lu Mingqian and Ruan Mian chatting happily.

Was this when the bond between the male and female leads began?

Her eyes brightened slightly as she handed her notes to Ji Qi.

Ji Qi's eyes lit up.
