“Class will be starting tomorrow. What kind of cake would you like to eat? Strawberry, mango, peach, or durian.”

Song Zhou took off his apron and walked to the back kitchen while rubbing the phone screen with his fingertips.

The lady boss walked in and saw Song Zhou, she greeted him and said, “Xiao Song, why are you still here? You should go back home since it’s already time.”

Song Zhou answered the lady boss while lowering his head to type. “Strawberry.”

He put his apron in its respective place and walked out of the bakery. He stopped when he passed by the glass showcase and looked at the delicate mini cakes that were inside.

After Xi Ning entered the classroom on Monday morning, he saw the almond cake on his desk.

Song Zhou was sitting at his seat. Xi Ning picked up the cake. “Is this from you?”

“Yes, it’s from me.”

Xi Ning was very happy. He took two small cakes from his school bag and gave them to Song Zhou. He also gave the cake that was originally for Lin Mian to Song Zhou.

It’s better to give Song Zhou than to give it to Lin Mian. I can increase Song Zhou’s favorability and even get my breakfast.

There was still a little time before the morning class started. Xi Ning opened the cake box, but he stopped eating after eating half of it.

Song Zhou tilted his head and watched him carefully put the other half of the cake back in the box and put it away. He asked, “Why didn’t you finish it?”

This cake is small and the remaining half can be eaten in two bites.

Xi Ning was a little embarrassed. He rubbed the tip of his nose and said vaguely, “I wanted to save it for later.”

With the recent weather, the cake won’t go bad even if it was left for another day. He wanted to take it back to eat it at night or the next morning, cherishing the hard-won food.

There was a little cream on the corner of his mouth and he wiped it with a tissue. Song Zhou’s eyes fell on Xi Ning’s red lips and he replied with a low and soft voice, “I’ll buy it again for you next time.”

Xi Ning was flattered and couldn’t help taking out the cake again. “Then……Then I will eat it.”

During the break in the afternoon, a few seniors from the third-year surrounded the door of the first class and stopped a random person to ask, “Is Xiao CongYi’s little lover in this class?”

They seem to be bad guys, so their classmate tried to play dumb. “Who? I don’t know.”

The boy who was the leader of the group turned his head and asked his companions behind him a few things. He then turned back and sneered. “Do you know Lin Mian?”

His voice was so loud that most of the people in the classroom heard him. They quietly looked at Lin Mian who was sitting in his seat.

The boy leaned against the door and put on a false smile. “Don’t be afraid, I’m not here to cause trouble, I just want to see who this Lin Mian is.”

It has appeared! The villain in the original plot.

After all, this was just a school romance novel so most of the trouble that the protagonist faced mainly happened in school. This person was called Lian Ze. He had a decent family background but he was a scumbag. He was also a mortal enemy of Xiao CongYi.

Before, he lost an argument with Xiao CongYi. His father grounded him at home and specially invited a private tutor to teach him. His fathers wanted Lian Ze to reflect on his mistake before he could attend classes again.

Now he was finally released. After hearing that Xiao CongYi had an unclear relationship with a beta, of course he would want to come and have a look.

Lin Mian lowered his head. He didn’t dare to look at Lian Ze and hoped that the school bell would ring quickly. However, Lian Ze who was at the door quickly locked his eyes on Lian Mian based on the reaction of other students in the classroom and walked in directly.

He crossed his arms and bent down slightly to look at Lin Mian’s face. “So it’s you? Oh, you are quite good-looking. Why do you want to date Xiao CongYi? How about dating me?”
