Dessert shop, outdoor small table.

Because of the bold words, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

The girl, holding a giant cat, looked slightly bewildered. Due to the surprise, Chen Siyu's hands gradually lost strength, and the cat slowly slipped from her hands to the ground.

Not only Chen Siyu, but Bai Yuxia also looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief.

'He actually said something like that!' In all this time she'd known him, Bai Yuxia had never seen him act so cheeky!

She couldn't help but look around. Thankfully, thankfully, the waitress had gone inside; only the two of them had heard Jiang Ning's words.

With this odd thought in mind, Bai Yuxia's gaze wandered back and forth between Jiang Ning and Chen Siyu.

Chen Siyu lowered her head, "I expressed it wrong."

Jiang Ning's face remained unchanged, feigning confusion, "Oh, where did you go wrong?"

Chen Siyu maintained her innocent appearance and continued to argue, "I was talking about the cat, not..."

Jiang Ning: "It doesn't matter."

Upon hearing this, Chen Siyu couldn't help but glance downwards, and Bai Yuxia caught that glance, making it even more awkward.

Chen Siyu thought to herself, 'If only Yuxia wasn't here.'

Bai Yuxia, on the other hand, was pondering, 'Siyu did it on purpose, right!'

No one else knew, but she and Chen Siyu had been desk mates for a semester, and she knew clearly.

To ease the awkwardness, Bai Yuxia sent the photo she'd just taken to Chen Siyu.

Seeing this, Chen Siyu started another topic, having Bai Yuxia hold the cat and took another photo.

During this time, Jiang Ning watched the whole scene.

As Bai Yuxia picked up the chubby cat, she suddenly thought of the question Siyu had asked earlier.

A slightly mischievous thought arose. If she also asked Jiang Ning like Siyu did, would something fun happen?

However, Bai Yuxia appeared extremely calm on the outside. Her good family upbringing would never allow her to ask such an embarrassing question at this time and place.

Yet, she couldn't help but imagine it in her mind. The warm glow of the sun fell, and Bai Yuxia's cheeks turned a slight rosy color, looking as enticing as a delicious treat.

"So pretty!" Chen Siyu exclaimed, "Can I post it in the group?"

Bai Yuxia looked at it first, and indeed, the photo was very well taken.

Her good upbringing and the education from her scholarly parents had given her a generous and graceful demeanor, with a strong awareness of her looks.

Although Bai Yuxia rarely posted selfies in her friend circle, since her friend asked, she had no objection.

So, Chen Siyu posted her photo in the group.

No matter which group it was, a pretty girl's selfie always caused a sensation.

Once her photo was posted, it quickly spread among people.

North side of the playground, at the parallel bars.

Guo Kunnan was playing with his phone and suddenly shouted, "Brother Quan, Brother Quan, she posted a photo!"

Dan Kaiquan was taken aback, then immediately said, "I've already forgotten her."

Guo Kunnan: "I forwarded it to you."

Dan Kaiquan's hands on the parallel bars wavered slightly with restlessness, but quickly, another similarly familiar face emerged in his mind.

Dan Kaiquan restrained the urge to look at his phone.

...

South side of the playground.

Chai Wei, leaning on a crutch, stayed in a corner of the wall. Once the center of attention, he now felt lonely beyond measure.

His best friend Qiang Li had gone to the gym to work out, but due to his physical limitations, Chai Wei could only stay here to heal.

Chai Wei had more female friends than male friends, which was normal. After all, he considered himself a strategist who looked down on the boys around him, and because he was too aloof, very few wanted to play with him.

All those girls he once knew left him for unknown reasons, making Chai Wei truly alone now.

He picked up his phone, opened the class group, and saw the photo.

What kind of photo was it?

Brilliant light fell upon Bai Yuxia. She stood in front of a potted plant, the big ginger cat obediently lying in her arms, its fur appearing especially warm in the sunlight.

This simultaneously made the girl appear incredibly beautiful. A faint blush covered her brow, a hint of shyness as if blooming for the viewer in front of the screen.

This scene of earthly beauty and warmth was just the right antidote to heal Chai Wei.

Having been through so much, he had a sudden urge to cry.

Thinking back on his miserable experiences, his eyes welled up with tears. At that moment, he wished he could be the ginger cat in Bai Yuxia's arms, enjoying the ultimate earthly comfort.

The indescribable warmth and beauty made Chai Wei, who had always been arrogant, pick up his phone and click on Bai Yuxia's avatar.

The recent intense setbacks and the lovely photo of a familiar person created a magical, surreal blend of illusion and reality, prompting him to send a private message:

"Bai Yuxia, your cat looks really nice."

After receiving the message, Bai Yuxia, who was enjoying dessert at the shop, hesitated a moment but chose to reply anyway.

She felt Chai Wei was a sinister person, prone to extremes, so she should respond.

Bai Yuxia knew well that if a guy sent a message and didn't get a reply, it could easily turn into resentment.

"It's not my cat, it's the dessert shop's," she explained.

In reality, Chai Wei rarely received such long replies from her, and immediately his wounded heart gained some comfort. He kept up the momentum, "Hahaha, if you like cats, you could keep one."

Bai Yuxia: "It's quite a hassle, and now with my busy studies, I'm afraid I don't have the time to take care of it."

Looking at her lengthy response, Chai Wei felt genuine delight, his depression somewhat cured, and he became a lot more cheerful.

Men are peculiar like that. As long as a pretty woman says a few more words to them, they become invigorated!
