"Yu Jie, please pay attention in class,"

"What?"

The teacher's words pulled me out of my reminiscence.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize class had started. I quickly stood up and found everyone's gaze on me. I was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

"If you don't listen in class, you will fall behind other students,"

"Yes..." I lowered my head in shame.

"Just recognize your mistake. Sit down," the political teacher gestured, then looked at the other students who were still staring at me. "Stop staring at Yu Jie and focus on the lesson I've written on the board."

Everyone gradually shifted their gaze to the blackboard, and I was finally saved from the awkward stares.

"Alright, let's continue with our lesson," the political teacher turned towards the blackboard to continue the interrupted class. I sat back down, feeling relieved.

"Sigh..." I sighed and thought that next time I should avoid being so absent-minded in class.

After focusing and finishing the lesson, it was time to go home.

"What were you thinking about during class just now?" Su Yuqian walked over and asked, hanging her shoulder bag over her shoulder.

I was momentarily stunned by her sudden question.

"I didn't ask because I want to know. I'm sure you were just thinking about something unhealthy or perverted. You're just a perverted creature with no substance," she said with a sigh.

Am I really seen that way by her? But in fact, I didn't think about those things at all. I could only smile helplessly.

"Hmph... as I thought, it's true. You're useless, only thinking about these base things," Su Yuqian turned her head to the side. But I only smiled helplessly.

"Let's go home..." I stood up and picked up my school bag hanging on the desk.

"Huh? Aren't you going home?" Su Yuqian didn't move.

What's wrong? Why is she inexplicably angry again?

"Listen!" she suddenly said loudly, and I respectfully straightened up.

"Study hard... idiot. You won't be able to get into the same university if you fall behind,"

"Huh? Yu Qian..."

"What? Did you hear me clearly?"

"You mean... we can go to the same university together?" I asked, pleasantly surprised.

"Isn't that obvious? Our relationship..." Su Yuqian's face slowly turned red.

"I'm so moved..."

"What's there to be moved about?" Su Yuqian said softly.

"Ah... I feel so relieved. I didn't make the wrong choice by making Yu Qian my girlfriend," I thought happily, feeling like I could fly in the sky.

"Idiot..."

"By the way, we're only in our first year of high school, so there's no need to worry. Even if we fall behind, it's okay. After all, it's just the beginning. But I'm still very happy to hear what Yu Qian said. Ah... I won't be able to sleep tonight,"

"Huh?"

Su Yuqian didn't lift her head for some reason.

"You... you useless person," she suddenly kicked me, causing me to fall on the ground in pain.

"What's wrong?" I asked with a puzzled expression, rubbing my sore buttocks.

"Falling behind... falling behind... Just stay at the bottom, preferably last in the whole grade, you idiot!" she said angrily as she walked towards the classroom door, disappearing outside.

"Yu... Yu Qian... Hey,"

What did I say wrong again? I touched my head, awkwardly getting up.

She's really unpredictable. I wish I could read her mind so I would know what she's thinking. But of course, mind reading is impossible. This isn't a magical world.

I slouched, picked up my school bag, and it seemed that Su Yuqian wouldn't be going home with me. So I had to go home alone, feeling lonely.
