There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

Qi Jing estimated the scores, handed the grade sheet to the class monitor, and turned back to see Tan Zuoyin staring blankly at her fingernails.

Little did he know, Tan Zuoyin was in the midst of an internal battle.

Should I confess to him first, or should he confess to me first?

With his timid nature, waiting for him to confess would take forever. If he doesn't confess, we might never see each other again. Isn't he worried?

If I confess first, wouldn't that seem too unreserved? I'm a good student; I shouldn't be in a relationship. But the thought of never seeing him again is so upsetting.

That airhead was so obvious just now, why hasn't he made a move for so long? Why hasn't he said a word to me since he came back?

Am I still restricting his speech?

No, that's not right. I saw him chatting so happily with the old class teacher on the bus.

Is he angry with me?

No, that can't be. He has such a good temper. I drew a turtle on his face while he was sleeping, and he didn't get angry. He definitely won't be angry this time either.

Then is he preparing to confess to me, and he's also very nervous…

"Zuoyin, I…"

"I accept!"

Qi Jing hadn't finished speaking when Tan Zuoyin's voice echoed in Qi Jing's mind.

Huh? Accept what? Zuoyin didn't open her mouth. Then what's with this voice?

Qi Jing remembered Tan Zuoyin introducing her "sound" ability to transmit voices. It must be telepathy.

Does she know what I'm going to say? How did she directly accept? I don't think I said I was going to have lunch with her later, did I? Thinking about it carefully, did I say it? Or didn't I…

As soon as Tan Zuoyin heard the word "I," she immediately thought of the sentence "I like you, be my girlfriend." Her subconscious reaction was to say yes to him.

Because she wasn't very skilled at controlling her newly acquired ability, the words she wanted to say to Qi Jing were directly transmitted into his mind, but Tan Zuoyin didn't realize this.

Why did he stop halfway? He must be hesitating, definitely too shy to say those words. Stop staring at me, say something! You're making me anxious.

Seeing Qi Jing stop speaking halfway, Tan Zuoyin felt as uncomfortable as if a fish bone was stuck in her throat.

Finally, Qi Jing said the second half of the sentence.

"Should we go to the cafeteria one last time or eat outside?"

Qi Jing still chose to believe in his "adolescent dementia," thinking that he had already told Tan Zuoyin that he wanted to eat with her.

Hearing this sentence, Tan Zuoyin felt a mix of emotions:

One last time? Isn't he going to confess to me? He just wants to have a farewell meal?

How could he be like this? Doesn't he like me? Have I been deluding myself all along?

Thinking of this, Tan Zuoyin's eyes quickly turned red, and tears welled up.

"Why are you crying? I know everyone is feeling down during graduation season. You're also sad to leave everyone. Although we're about to go our separate ways, it's not like we'll never see each other again."

Seeing Tan Zuoyin's eyes suddenly turn red, Qi Jing knew that she was also feeling sentimental about graduation.

We're going our separate ways in the future? Sure enough, Qi Jing doesn't want to be with me. We're just ordinary classmates.

Tan Zuoyin felt even more sad, and tears could no longer be held back. She leaned on her desk and started crying.

Seeing this scene, Qi Jing was completely stunned.

She wasn't this sad when she graduated in her previous life. Could it be that awakening an ability makes people more sensitive?

How should I comfort her?

Qi Jing was thinking about how to comfort Tan Zuoyin.

Tan Zuoyin suddenly stood up, picked up her schoolbag, and walked straight out.

Qi Jing: ???

"Chase after her, you idiot! Hurry up!" Yang Que had been staring at a blank sheet of paper for a long time. He originally wanted to watch the drama, but he didn't expect these two to end up like this.

Qi Jing's mind was also a little confused. Hearing Yang Que's words, he immediately chased after her.

As soon as he went out, Qi Jing saw Tan Zuoyin standing in the corridor looking at him.

"Qi Jing, I like you. Although you don't like me, I still want to tell you that I like you. I…"

"I didn't say I don't like you."

Qi Jing was stunned.

"Didn't you just say…" Tan Zuoyin said halfway, remembering that he didn't seem to have said that. It was all her imagination. Her face flushed red.

He doesn't dislike me, so he likes me. How did I confess to him just now? Why am I so proactive? And there are classmates watching. How embarrassing! ~

"Fang Sheng, are you okay? You've been standing here like a pillar for so long. Go for it!" Yang Que, who had come out to watch the show, fueled the fire once again.

Qi Jing looked around and saw several classmates gossiping. He hurriedly picked up the schoolbag at the door, took Tan Zuoyin's hand, and walked towards the stairs.

…

Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin walked slowly hand in hand on the school playground.

"I like you!"

"I know, you said it just now."

"Shouldn't you say something to me?"

"Yes, I should say something."

"Say what, you blockhead! I just confessed to you!"

"I accepted. You're already my girlfriend."

"You better stop talking, my foolish boyfriend."

"Wuwuwuwuwu (?????)

Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu (Let's go eat, let's go to the cafeteria)."

…

After eating, Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin walked to the school gate.

"Is our school gate so big?"

Qi Jing felt that the gate, which he had passed through several times every day in high school, was somewhat different from his memory, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"It seems a little different,"

Tan Zuoyin said, looking at the gate:

"Maybe it's just that we used to be so focused on passing through it that we never really looked at it."

"Next time we come, it will be the last time."

"Yes, from now on, we'll be outsiders. If we want to go in, the security guard will have to ask us to register."

"Let's go home."

"Zuoyin, let's have a farewell hug."

Qi Jing hadn't hugged a girl before and wanted to try it.

"Okay."

The security guard saw these two lovebirds displaying affection at the gate and shouted at them, "The school forbids early relationships! You two are doing it so openly!"

Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin let go of the hug: "We've graduated! You can't control us anymore!"

"Blehh ~"

After speaking, he pulled Tan Zuoyin and ran out.

The security guard watched them running away hand in hand, smiled, and muttered to himself, "You really think I don't know you two have graduated? It's good to be young. Back when I was young…"

…

"Why did we run?"

Tan Zuoyin came back to her senses and asked.

"I saw on TV that when other people are secretly dating and get caught, they run like this."

Qi Jing remembered that in TV shows, when other people are secretly dating and are discovered by the security guard, they have to run. Now he finally experienced it himself.

Thinking of this, Qi Jing's mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"What are you grinning at?"

Tan Zuoyin looked at Qi Jing, who was grinning like a fool.

"I have a girlfriend. It's so great.

Also, I like you. I've liked you for a long, long time, long enough to span two worlds."
