Next to her, Lu Shuang found an empty chair and sat down motionless, forming a stark contrast with her… showing no intention of returning the chair to the dormitory auntie who owned it.
“Morning… Yu Man, Lu Shuang.”
An Xi, looking tired, yawned continuously and greeted them listlessly.
“Our goal is to finish breakfast within ten minutes and go for a morning run!”
Yu Man pulled one person with each hand towards the cafeteria. Of course, An Xi was dozing off on the left, while the chattering guy on the right was still vibrating non-stop in “silent mode”…
Breakfast was indeed finished within ten minutes… no, under Yu Man’s watchful eye.
Arriving at the vast playground, there weren’t many people exercising, except for the occasional morning practice by the school’s Taekwondo club and some students loudly reciting books.
“Morning, Yu Man.” “Senior Yu Man is so energetic today!” “Good morning, Senior Yu Man!” …
Throughout the morning run, people kept greeting Yu Man, and she energetically responded. An Xi gradually became more awake, feeling that Yu Man was probably a pretty good senior.
The chattering guy was different – he was walking behind, frowning and holding his stomach.
Yu Man had always been his childhood friend, but she liked to meddle, dragging him around everywhere, which was incredibly annoying…
Originally, he wouldn’t deliberately wake up for morning runs, but Yu Man had probably picked up An Xi for exercise and casually dragged him along… saying things like “Look how skinny you are! How will you protect me in the future!”
Heh… he wasn’t planning to be with this “tomboy” forever. Why was she so persistent about him? The chattering guy looked unhappily at Yu Man’s back… he just wanted to be alone in a quiet corner, not be forcibly pulled into Yu Man’s world!
As always, she was like a “tyrant”, seizing his free time and doing inexplicable things…
Perhaps lost in thought, the chattering guy wandered off course and tripped, falling to his knees.
“Lu Shuang, what happened?”
An Xi turned back, not seeing Lu Shuang, then looked down to see him kneeling on the ground… before she could react, Yu Man rushed to Lu Shuang’s side, nervously reaching out to help him.
“Don’t touch me!”
Lu Shuang abruptly pushed away Yu Man’s hand and sat on the ground.
