The next day, Monday, students had to go to school, and Su Yuqian was no exception. Su Yuqian had to go to school, and I could only stay at her house. I wasn't foolish enough to go to school and expose myself. But then I remembered that Feya said she helped me process the dropout paperwork. Although I didn't know if it was successful or not, there was a fifty percent chance that I was now a dropout student. It was truly a scandal for me, a high school student, to have the label of a dropout student. I didn't dare to think about what it would be like to go to school in the future. It would definitely be embarrassing, like "Wow, look, the dropout student is back at school," or "Trying to escape from this school prison, how delusional." I felt extremely awkward, wishing I could find a hole to hide in.

Just when I was moaning in despair, Su Yuqian gently said to me, "I'm leaving."

"Huh?" I couldn't react in time.

"I'm leaving..." Su Yuqian was now wearing the Shen Yu Middle School uniform, with a backpack on her shoulder and golden twin tails hanging naturally, looking like a two-dimensional anime girl come to life. But she was a real three-dimensional beauty, which left me dumbfounded.

"You idiot... Have you had enough of staring?" Su Yuqian grabbed my cheeks with her hands, distorting my face uncomfortably.

I nodded quickly.

"Wait until I come back to stare all you want," she said.

"Huh?"

"It's not because I want you to see," she said.

"Oh?"

"You idiot, I'm leaving!" Su Yuqian blushed.

"Well... be careful on the way," I said.

After I finished speaking, Su Yuqian put on her shoes, opened the door, but she didn't leave. She stopped for a few seconds.

"I hope you're sincere with me. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it," she said. With those meaningful words, she walked out the door and closed it slowly behind her.

This was a very profound statement, but I understood it. Since I started chasing after her, I had decided to be wholehearted and sincere.

Su Yuqian went to school, and I was bored alone at home.

But her house made me extremely curious, especially Su Yuqian's bedroom. So I decided to explore her bedroom, hoping to find some interesting information.

When I opened her bedroom door, the smell of perfume overwhelmed me. If you weren't accustomed to it, it might be a bit overwhelming.

"I remember it's under the writing desk..." I murmured as I looked towards the writing desk, where I saw the cardboard box.

Without hesitating, I slowly opened the box. Inside, it was truly a treasure trove. There was a set of Sakaki Yuri's cosplay outfit and figurines. It seemed like she really liked this character. But I was also very curious about how she would look in that cosplay outfit.

There seemed to be something else below, so I took out the cosplay outfit and figurines, revealing some small dolls. As I flipped through them, I discovered that at the very bottom, there was a photo frame propped up. I picked it up and turned it over. It was Su Yuqian's family photo, with Su Yuqian and her mother, as well as a blond-haired, blue-eyed man. He was probably Su Yuqian's father, and he looked quite handsome. Apparently, this person who had never appeared had passed away. Was that true? Su Yuqian and her mother never mentioned it, and this was the only photo I saw in the entire room, hidden so securely by Su Yuqian. Did it have some other significance, or was she reluctant to recall those painful memories? I wasn't sure.

But since it was sealed away, it felt wrong for me to take it out, so I gave up exploring and put everything back in.

Just as I was placing the first item back, suddenly the door to Su Yuqian's bedroom was opened, and I saw Su Yuqian's mother.
