In all her life, this was the first time anyone had run to meet Lin Meng Qiu.
She had been waiting anxiously and had even planned to deduct two points from him, but the instant she saw Chen Shi'an running straight toward her, all of that vanished...
She even felt a little happy and a little shy for no apparent reason.
Perhaps people could only run that fast when they were going to see something they really wanted to see?
...Wait, then why didn't you come earlier?!
Half a point off!
"What were you doing at home that made you leave so late?"
"Making incense. Class Monitor, can't you smell how nice I smell?"
"Who would bother smelling you?"
Despite saying that, Lin Meng Qiu still secretly twitched her nose.
Unfortunately, her sense of smell wasn't as keen as Chen Shi'an's. Outdoors, with a shoulder's width between them, she really couldn't smell anything.
"Have you been waiting long, Class Monitor?"
"No."
"Where are we going to play, then?"
"The sports hall next door."
"Want me to carry anything?"
"..."
Seeing his empty hands and short-sleeved Taoist robes, he really didn't look like someone going to play badminton. Lin Meng Qiu thought for a moment, then took the racket bag off her shoulder and handed it to him.
Just as she had done, Chen Shi'an hung the racket bag over the shoulder farther from her.
Lin Meng Qiu was sensitive to the cold. It was only twenty-one degrees that morning, and while Chen Shi'an was still wearing short sleeves, she wore black track pants with a thin black sports jacket over her top.
The streets bustled at nine on Sunday morning as the two walked side by side toward the sports hall.
Lin Meng Qiu was still a woman of few
