Chapter 21: New Allies (Part One)

  In the afternoon, Qiao An Yu woke up from a nap, walked into the classroom in a daze, and had just sat down when someone covered her eyes with their hands. That person asked mysteriously, "Guess who I am?"

  "Leng Ning, how old are you? Still playing this game?" Qiao Anyu grabbed the pair of hands, not letting their owner escape.

  "It's enjoyable, isn't it?" Leng Bing sat down in Xu Xiao's seat and turned to face Qiao Anyu. Qiao Anyu had arrived early today, and the classroom was almost empty, with only a few people scattered around, mostly boarding students who were dozing off on their desks.

  "What brings you here? Or are you waiting for a rabbit to come and guard the tree?"

  Leng Jing was about to respond when his eyes suddenly landed on a familiar figure, and he immediately jumped up from his chair, taking a swift step forward with the excitement of a starving tiger pouncing on its prey. He grasped the person's hand: "Yu Shuang!"

  It turned out that Yu Shuang, who was sitting next to her, had just arrived at the classroom. Did they know each other? Yu Shuang was a student who transferred from another school this year and didn't attend elementary school in their district, so it was surprising that Leng Bing, who rarely left the house, knew Yu Shuang. It's really a small world.

  Yu Shuang was also surprised: "Leng Ning, how did you end up in our class?"

  "There are some things that need to be announced in the school newsletter, Yu Liang." Leng Bing poked Qiao An Yu Liang's head with her finger.

  "Yu Liang, come quick and meet this good friend of mine." Leng Ning called out to her.

  Qiao An only felt a crow flying over her head, but Leng Ning pulled her to Yu Shuang's table with enthusiasm and introduced Yu Shuang: "This is Yu Shuang, my good friend from the summer painting class. Her paintings are amazing, you have to see them when you get the chance." Then she turned to Yu Shuang: "This is Yu Liang, my elementary school deskmate and partner in crime, an outstanding person who makes me jealous."

  Qiao Anyu hastily interjected, "Leng Ning, Yu Shuang and I are from the same class!" She especially emphasized the five words "from the same class".

  "What does it mean?" She, who usually reacted very quickly, surprisingly couldn't understand.

  "Yu Liang said, we don't need you to introduce each other anymore. We've known each other for a long time." Yu Shuang was also amused by the frozen enthusiasm.

  "It seems to be the case indeed." Leng Bing tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then explained: "I'm just trying to bring you two closer together. After all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. You can take care of each other from now on. Alas, I'm going to be jealous of you two."

  Xiao Xiao smiled and walked to her seat, while Han Qingyu whispered in Qiao Anyu's ear: "Your location is also too enviable for all the girls, be careful not to become the number one enemy of the girls."

  With Leng Bing as the intermediary, Qiao Anyu and Yu Shuang's friendship quickly warmed up, and Gu Siqian was also pulled in. The three of them played together often. Leng Bing would join them too, but due to geographical reasons, she couldn't always be with the other three, which made her feel quite depressed.

  Yu Shuang's home had many romance novels, all of which she had secretly bought and locked in her cabinet. This satisfied the curiosity of two other people, who borrowed them one after another to read.

  Three girls with similar interests and feelings, watching and feeling heartbroken, crying uncontrollably, will fall asleep at night with a beautiful dream of being with the one they love, not wanting to wake up to face the person they think about day and night who is close but unreachable.
