The weather is still hot in October.
Lu Lili’s summer uniform consists of a white short-sleeved shirt with black lapel, along with black long pants that resemble sportswear.
The black and white combination looks much better than the yellow, green, and dark brown uniforms of other schools.
Early in the morning, Zhao Fen was still sleeping in her room while Lu Lili was already prepared to go out with her backpack.
Zhao Fen came back late last night and her work started at nine in the morning, so she could sleep a little longer.
Girls are not allowed to have untidy hair or wear jewelry at school.
Lu Lili had already tied up her long hair into a neat bun, leaving some thin bangs on her forehead. Her face was full of collagen, radiating youthful beauty.
In fact, every girl in her youthful and blooming age is beautiful.
Even a girl like Shi Yan, who is self-conscious and introverted, always walking with her head down, cannot deny her youthful beauty.
Lu Lili closed the door and coincidentally saw Shi Yan coming out of room 303 wearing the same uniform and carrying her backpack.
The moment Shi Yan’s eyes met Lu Lili’s gaze, she immediately lowered her head, pretending to be completely focused on locking the door, as if she hadn’t noticed anyone looking at her.
Shi Yan hoped that by the time she finished locking the door, the pretty girl with the bun hairstyle next door would have already gone downstairs, and she wouldn’t have to greet her.
She didn’t want to rack her brains and put her whole heart and mind into thinking about how to respond to the other person in order to appear like a normal person capable of socializing.
Yes, Shi Yan yearned deep inside to be like a normal person.
Unfortunately, her character flaw had ingrained itself into her very core, and she couldn’t control it from manifesting.
But unfortunately, Lu Lili had no idea what was going on in Shi Yan’s mind.
“Hi, I just moved in yesterday, and I noticed we’re wearing the same school uniform!”
Lu Lili transformed into a sweet and gentle little girl, wearing a perfectly fitting smile on her face, and her eyes revealed sincere goodwill.
She stood in place, greeting Shi Yan, hoping to use the topic of being classmates to bridge the gap between them.
However, Shi Yan’s mood became even worse.
She started to panic. What should she do if they were neighbors and classmates and would inevitably run into each other in the future?
She only wanted to be alone, like before. She didn’t want anyone to talk to her, and she didn’t want to talk to anyone else…
Shi Yan twitched the corner of her mouth, forcing a smile and slightly nodding, which could be considered as a response to the other person.
When she didn’t know what to say, a smile was versatile and her go-to move. With a smile, Shi Yuan could respond to any topic brought up by others.
Seeing Shi Yan’s smile, Lu Lili also smiled. Lu Lili knew that Shi Yan was just not good at socializing, and Shi Yan’s heart must be kind.
Because unkind people would never smile just to accommodate others.
“Hehe, then we must be from the same school!” Lu Lili continued to smile.
And when Shi Yan walked downstairs, Lu Lili naturally walked beside her.
“Today is my first day reporting to school, and I don’t know which class I will be assigned to. How about you?”
“I…” Shi Yan nervously held onto her backpack strap, feeling her legs go weak and her head spinning. With great difficulty, she squeezed out the words, “Class 5 of the second year…”
Lu Lili seemed oblivious and continued to smile happily, “What a coincidence! I’m also in the second year. I really hope we can be in the same class!”
“…” Shi Yan’s mouth moved slightly, but due to nervousness, her mind went blank, and she couldn’t utter a word for a long time.
Lu Lili didn’t press her further.
By speaking today, it was equivalent to getting acquainted with each other, and they could take it step by step.
The two of them quietly walked side by side out of the residential area and then turned right towards the direction of the school.
They didn’t notice a boy wearing the same school uniform, walking some distance behind them, occasionally staring at them with a gloomy expression.
