Lu Lili followed the grade director to find Teacher Feng, then proposed to sit with Shi Yan as desk mates.
Teacher Feng is a chubby, friendly-looking middle-aged man. He smiled at Lu Lili and said, “In our grade, each class has individual seating, no desk mates. However, I can arrange for you to sit behind Shi Yuan as long as you promise to study well.”
“I promise, Teacher!”
Lu Lili happily accepted the arrangement, delighted to be in the same class as Shi Yan!
After arranging Lu Lili’s seat and seeing her and Shi Yan greeting each other as if they were familiar, Teacher Feng felt relieved.
Most teachers in the grade knew that Shi Yan was extremely introverted and reclusive.
She was always quiet and kept to herself.
She never had any close friends around her.
Knowing that her personality was influenced by her family background, Teacher Feng had always felt sorry for this student.
Now seeing her finally making a friend, he genuinely felt relieved.
However, when it came to Shi Yan, Teacher Feng couldn’t help but think of her younger brother, Shi Chao, in Class 7.
Despite being twins, how could one be well-behaved and studious while the other lagged behind in exams and lacked motivation? The difference was truly significant.
“Yanyan, I think the teachers in our school are really good!”
As soon as the class was over, Lu Lili eagerly reached out her slender white fingertips and lightly tapped on Shi Yan’s shoulder. She also deliberately called her name affectionately.
Shi Yan’s shoulder trembled as if startled, and then slowly turned her head halfway, not letting Lu Lili see her expression completely.
“…What, what do you mean?”
Shi Yan was actually surprised that Lu Lili was in the same class as her and happened to sit right behind her.
She had a feeling that this was arranged on purpose and couldn’t be just a coincidence.
Lu Lili happily approached her and whispered, “The grade director originally wanted to assign me to Class 7, but when I remember you were in this class, I suggested to him that I wanted to come to Class 5. Unexpectedly, he agreed quickly!”
“… ” Shi Yan’s mouth twitched slightly, trying hard to make a smiling expression.
She silently kept her head turned away, unable to figure out what she should say at this moment.
Every time she interacted with people, Shi Yan was so nervous that her heart would beat faster than when she was alone, and her mind would go blank.
Often, after a long time had passed, she would repeatedly reflect on the situation before rich psychological activities would appear.
Fortunately, Lu Lili didn’t pause for a few seconds. Her tone sounded even happier:
“And then I met our homeroom teacher, Teacher Feng. I told him that I wanted to sit with you, only to find out that our class doesn’t have desk mates, everyone has separate seats.”
“But Teacher Feng is really good. When he heard me say that I only have you as a friend here, he arranged me in a seat closer to you and even reminded me to study hard!”
“…” Shi Yan twitched the corners of her mouth, smiling. As expected everything was arranged by someone.
Perhaps it was Lu Lili’s words of ‘I only have you as a friend’ that touched Shi Yan and made her feel that she was also needed.
Shi Yan racked her brain and spoke in a small voice, barely audible : “En, they’re quite good…”
She had really done her best.
Apart from that, she couldn’t think of anything else to say.
Luli Li saw it all and felt sorry for this girl who, despite having good qualities, lacked self-confidence.
However, Lu Lili didn’t show this pity because friends should treat each other equally, not view the other person as weak.
