Look, the clown!

After a sweet moment and a laugh, Miao Xiaoyu couldn't help but urge, "Hurry up and try what I made!"

After speaking, she watched He Li open the box with anticipation... Inside the box were not steamed buns or bread, but noodles garnished with shelled shrimp, crab meat, and a few vegetables. As the box opened, a strong aroma instantly spread, filling the entire classroom.

Seafood noodles? Half seafood, half noodles?

Was she really not afraid of trouble?

He Li stared at the perfectly presented noodles, and besides being surprised and touched, his appetite was thoroughly whetted.

Meanwhile, everyone else in the classroom was practically drooling... "Holy crap! This guy is seriously inhuman!"

"He just got rejected by Liu Yuyan, and now Miao Xiaoyu, who is even prettier than Liu Yuyan, is bringing him breakfast?"

"And Goddess Miao made it herself?"

"It smells so good, I really want a bite..."

"If this bowl of noodles were sold outside, it would cost at least 50 yuan!"

"50? Are you dreaming?"

...Ignoring everyone else, He Li happily took two bites and then wolfed down the entire breakfast, not even leaving the soup. This reaction was worth more than a thousand compliments to Miao Xiaoyu.

"If you like it, I... I can keep making it for you in the future!" she said quietly as she watched He Li finish, and then picked up the lunch box. He Li replied with a smile, "Then I'll be very lucky from now on!"

"Hehe~" A sparkle shone in Miao Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes.

"The teacher is coming, I should head back to my class now!"

"Mhm!" He Li nodded.

Both of them tacitly avoided mentioning the lunch box He Li had taken out.

Because Miao Xiaoyu had her own little plan.

With the lunch box in her hand, she would have a legitimate excuse later to take the box and go to He Li's house to find him. He Li had guessed Miao Xiaoyu's intention and naturally wouldn't expose it.

Meanwhile, Liu Yuyan, who claimed she was ignoring He Li... but couldn't help constantly sneaking glances at him... was currently grinding her molars almost to dust.

The tender, loving appearance of He Li and Miao Xiaoyu... She was envious, very envious, extremely envious!

She tried to find similar memories in her mind to dilute her jealousy toward Miao Xiaoyu.

But after recalling for a long time, Liu Yuyan suddenly realized that in her past memories, only He Li had ever made efforts for her; she had never once put in effort for He Li like Miao Xiaoyu had.

The affection between her and He Li... had always been unilaterally maintained by He Li.

Mutual affection? She and He Li never had that!

When she came back to her senses, Liu Yuyan felt distressed again.

Her heart felt heavy. She sat in her seat, staring blankly at He Li's profile with an extremely complicated expression.

She hadn't realized it until there was a comparison, and only then did she belatedly notice that her relationship with He Li seemed wrong. However... three years of devoted pursuit proved that he still loved her.

That was enough for Liu Yuyan.

"Miao Xiaoyu, what does it matter how much effort you put in?"

"The person He Li loves will always be me!"

"Although we're competing right now..."

"But as long as I turn back, he will run to me anytime."

"You can't win against me!" She glanced at Miao Xiaoyu, who was leaving the classroom, and regained her confidence.

The excitement subsided temporarily, and the classroom returned to calm.

However, some people were still quietly discussing what had just happened.

Wu Gang, sitting next to He Li, couldn't help but pat He Li's shoulder.

"Tsk tsk, that's you alright, drop one and pick up another!"

"You dropped a sesame seed but picked up a watermelon!"

"I support you, man. Go get Miao Xiaoyu; she's much better than that pretentious Liu Yuyan!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder when I'll meet my destined goddess. I also want a sweet girlfriend to make me breakfast and make all those bachelors jealous!"

"You will!" He Li smiled upon hearing that.

In his previous life, Wu Gang found a wife in college.

And it was a flash marriage. Although his relationship with Wu Gang was strained back then because of Liu Yuyan, he still attended their wedding and met his wife.

She was a good person, wealthy and attractive.

He just didn't know how they ended up together.

He Li shook his head and didn't dwell on it.

Before long, the teacher arrived and talked to them about graduation speeches and other miscellaneous matters, finally mentioning the graduation photo shoot. However, this photo session turned out to be quite a hassle for He Li.

Because his attractiveness had soared, not only did a large group of classmates insist on dragging him for various photos... students from other classes also came to join the fun.

He Li couldn't refuse everyone who wanted a picture.

Liu Yuyan had been secretly watching He Li.

Seeing many bold female classmates, both inside and outside the class, shamelessly crowding around He Li and insisting on taking pictures, she gritted her teeth, wishing she could kick all those seductive sluts away.

She also hated that He Li was such a blockhead, not knowing how to find an excuse to come over and take a few photos with her.

Seeing that they would soon be dismissed to go home... Liu Yuyan still didn't see He Li proactively come over for a photo.

She couldn't help but stare at He Li and say, "Could any student help a few of us girls take a group photo?"

Although it seemed like she was asking everyone nearby, anyone could tell she was waiting for He Li to respond. She was actively giving He Li an opportunity to step up and mend their relationship.

So everyone's eyes fell on He Li.

And waited for his response!

However... "Why is everyone looking at me? No more photos?"

"I'm tired anyway, I'm leaving!" He shrugged.

It was as if he hadn't heard Liu Yuyan's words at all.

Seeing this, Liu Yuyan clenched her small hands, her face turning pale.

Not far away, the Class Monitor Li Lingjie, who had a long-standing crush on Liu Yuyan, saw her embarrassment and spoke up righteously: "He Li, you deliberately angered student Liu Yuyan in the classroom earlier."

"Now she's letting it go and even proactively giving you a chance to help take photos, and you still refuse?"

"How can you be so ungrateful?"

Hearing this, He Li glanced at him.

Li Lingjie, Liu Yuyan's number one Simp—though in his previous life, he probably only ranked number two.

Aside from having some money at home, this guy was far inferior compared to He Li in every other aspect. When He Li was pursuing Liu Yuyan before, Li Lingjie tried every means to surpass him but failed.

Later, this guy had no choice but to endure it.

But the events that occurred in the classroom earlier had made him realize that He Li and Liu Yuyan were having a spat.

The reason he didn't intervene in the classroom was that he hoped they would break up.

That way, he could make his move and pursue Liu Yuyan!

Now that He Li was giving Liu Yuyan the cold shoulder for the second time... he found his opportunity and started itching for action.

He Li thought for a moment, then sneered and countered, "Are your ears broken?"

"When did Liu Yuyan ask me for help?"

"Besides, even if she did ask, so what?"

"Not helping is normal, helping is a favor. If I don't feel like doing favors, what are you going to do about it?"

"Hmph, stop nagging me here."

"If you want to help, go do it yourself, Simp."

"I don't have time for you guys!" Having said that, he turned and left.

His decisive manner made Liu Yuyan furious inside.

This was the graduation photo shoot—a rare, legitimate excuse to take a picture with her. Why wasn't He Li cherishing this opportunity? Didn't he know that once they entered university, they might never have another chance?

The more she thought about it, the more irritable she became.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she actually really wanted a few photos of the current He Li.

But He Li had spoken so definitively... she couldn't possibly be thick-skinned enough to ask again now.

But ultimately, this was all Li Lingjie's fault!

Why did that idiot have to provoke He Li?

She and He Li were already competing; it took courage for either of them to back down and lose face. If Li Lingjie hadn't spoken up and provoked him, He Li might have taken the opportunity.

As a result of that guy's words, He Li was both annoyed and even less willing to save face by helping with the photos.

Thinking of this, she wished she could punch Li Lingjie several times.

And Li Lingjie was completely unaware of this.

As he listened to He Li's words, his face alternated between green and white.

After glaring fiercely at He Li's retreating back, he put on what he thought was a gentle smile and approached Yu Yan: "Ahem, Yu Yan, if He Li won't help, why don't I take the pictures for you?"

"Also, after the photos are done..."

"Could you possibly take two photos with me?"

He asked cautiously, trying to be ingratiating.

Liu Yuyan found his words incredibly noisy.

"Get lost!" She completely abandoned her usual gentle demeanor toward classmates, glaring and coldly scolding, "Why are you running your mouth? This is all your fault! If you hadn't spoken up, He Li would have agreed!"

With that, she left angrily.

Li Lingjie was left standing there, completely dumbfounded.

The surrounding classmates couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Wu Gang laughed loudly and mockingly, "Look, The Clown!"

"You f*cking..." The veins bulged on Li Lingjie's forehead.

Wu Gang sneered, "Want to fight?"

He raised his hand and clenched his fist; it was the size of a sandbag.

Li Lingjie glanced at his own frail body, which was weakened from too much self-gratification, swallowed hard, and backed away...
