When Lin Zeâs figure disappeared outside Class 3âs classroom, Sisi finally poked her head out after burying herself in her homework.
"Changhuan, what did Lin Ze say to you just now?"
Gu Shengyin didnât even look up, solving problems while saying, "He didnât say anything."
Seeing her seemingly indifferent demeanor, Sisi was a bit suspicious: "Changhuan, do you not like Lin Ze anymore?"
Gu Shengyin stopped her pen and looked at Sisi with some wonder: "Why do you ask that?"
Sisi replied: "Because looking at you now, you donât seem to care about Lin Ze anymore. You werenât like this before."
Gu Shengyin smiled: "Thatâs because it wasnât our senior year before."
Now, she has more important things to do.
Sisi continued: "Moreover, now everyone is guessing whether you donât like Lin Ze anymore. You used to stick to him, but now you arenât like that at all."
Gu Shengyin chuckled: "Thatâs not the case. But..."
Sisi curiously asked: "But what?"
Gu Shengyin shook her head: "Nothing, hurry up and finish your homework."
Just then the class bell rang, and Sisi held back the words she was about to ask and began to seriously do her homework.
What surprised Gu Shengyin was that not only did Sisi ask, but even Chang Ru specifically came over to find her.
Ever since their talk, Chang Ru seemed to have resolved her inner conflict.
Over the past year, just like Gu Shengyin said, the two of them in the same class, seeing each other all the time, yet always being familiar strangers.
"Class president?" Gu Shengyin was a bit puzzled.
The two were no longer at odds, and surprisingly got along quite harmoniously.
"Did you... have a fight with Lin Ze?" Chang Ru hesitated to ask.
Gu Shengyin shook her head: "Why are you all asking this question? No, we didnât."
Chang Ru looked at Gu Shengyin: "Actually, we werenât curious; itâs your reaction thatâs too strange."
Gu Shengyin laughed: "Because Iâm not putting my entire lifeâs focus on him anymore?"
Chang Ru did not speak, she did think that way.
Gu Shengyin let out a laugh: "Didnât you tell me before? To just be myself and not change for others. Now that Iâve found a focus of my efforts, youâre all not used to it."
Chang Ru also laughed: "Maybe itâs because you used to act so crazy."
A person might have thought that Zhong Changhuanâs life only revolved around Lin Ze.
Gu Shengyin shook her head: "No one will be the sole focus of someoneâs life. For example, right now, the most important thing in my life over Lin Ze is the college entrance exams."
Their conversation ended there.
The college entrance exams are getting closer.
Gu Shengyin no longer went to look for Lin Ze.
Nor did many people have time to care about their gossip anymore.
Occasionally, Gu Shengyin could hear some news about a freshman girl confessing to Lin Ze and Lin Ze rejecting her.
Lin Ze participated in the cityâs high school boysâ basketball tournament and won the best player award, things like that.
As the exams drew nearer, she became busier.
Not only did she have to prepare for the exams, but she also had to ready herself for her dream of being a fashion designer.
A month before the college entrance exams, the plot in which a luxury brand representative specifically came to Z to attend Fashion Week finally happened.
Gu Shengyin sent her work, which she had prepared for an entire month, to the specified address.
At this time, there was still a month left before the college entrance exams.
Time was getting closer, and the atmosphere in the class was getting tenser.
