Everyone in the school knows that Zhong Changhuan from Class 1-2 of Grade 11 is madly pursuing the school heartthrob, Lin Ze.
It seems even the teachers have caught wind of the news.
However, Gu Shengyinâs class teacher noticed that this student has been studying diligently lately, with her grades improving significantly, even making it into the top hundred in the last monthly exam.
She wasnât sure if this had something to do with the so-called power of love, but seeing that nothing problematic arose, she didnât want to intervene impulsively.
What if the schoolâs interference made this student revert to her old self?
The schoolâs ban on early romance and a series of other regulations ultimately aim to ensure studentsâ studies arenât disrupted.
If this situation becomes a motivational force for the student, as a teacher, she doesnât really have the grounds to stop it.
In the classroom of Class 2, Gu Shengyin sat properly in her seat, working through practice questions.
Suddenly, a shadow fell over her.
She looked up to see Chang Ru.
This class was sports, a rare break, and everyone was relaxing on the playground, leaving the classroom completely empty.
"Does the class monitor need something?" Gu Shengyin raised an eyebrow.
Chang Ru habitually shook her head, then nodded.
"I do have something to discuss with you."
Gu Shengyin put down the pen in her hand, waiting for Chang Ru to speak.
Chang Ru sat in the seat right in front of her, looking at Gu Shengyin and asking, "Do you really like Lin Ze that much?"
Lately, everything Gu Shengyin has done, her changes, Chang Ru has witnessed one by one.
If the affection isnât deeply rooted, who could achieve what Gu Shengyin has?
Gu Shengyin looked at Chang Ru with a faint smile: "This, doesnât seem to have anything to do with you, does it, Class Monitor?"
What trick is this woman up to now?
"Class Monitor, are you planning to report to Teacher Chen?"
Chang Ruâs face turned pale: "Is that how you see me?"
Gu Shengyin didnât respond, but her expression said it all.
Chang Ru remembered the things she did out of jealousy and resentment towards her, her expression turning dark.
Indeed, she did do similar things in the past.
She couldnât help but soften her tone: "Donât worry, I wonât do that."
She looked sincerely at Gu Shengyin: "I just think, you were just fine being yourself originally, really. Zhong Changhuan, everyone is uniquely themselves; you donât need to change yourself for someone else, becoming unrecognizable even to yourself."
Gu Shengyin was a bit surprised looking at Chang Ru; was she actually caring for her?
She looked seriously at Chang Ru and found her expression truly earnest, her words indeed sincere.
Has she finally come around?
Gu Shengyin smiled slightly: "If this is your concern, Class Monitor, then Iâll accept it. In return, Iâll answer one of your earlier questions."
"I indeed like Lin Ze a lot; Iâve never liked anyone as much and never will again." Because, besides him, she wouldnât fall for anyone else.
"And I want to clarify that becoming the way I am now isnât solely for Lin Ze. Consider it a sudden awakening on my part."
Chang Ru looked at her, evidently not believing her.
She assumed Gu Shengyin was just being stubborn, unwilling to admit.
In fact, most people would likely think this upon hearing Gu Shengyinâs words.
But Gu Shengyin didnât care.
How she felt never needed explaining to others.
