Don't think of rebirth.

The situation of the other groups was much better than that of Yuan Wuwei and Fan Ziran. They were all experiencing some difficulty adapting to the new environment.

Gu Qinghuan thought about it and it made sense. Ordinary high school students didn’t have so many worries. Basically, they were in three areas: family conflicts, study problems, and interpersonal relationships.

In a new class, students don’t know each other yet. Because of this unfamiliarity, they are more likely to develop curiosity, which then turns into liking.

Of course, there are also people who become classmates with their loved ones through class division.

Ai Ning has been in a good mood recently. He and He Meng chose exactly the same elective courses, and they were lucky enough to be in the same class for all three elective courses.

When Ai Ning heard the good news, she wanted to set off firecrackers.

His excitement was too obvious, and sitting on his left was Xu Xinghe, who was also secretly in love with him, and on his right was Yao Shali, a master of reasoning, so he was exposed in a minute.

Ai Ning had to "bribe" the two with milk tea, begging Xu Xinghe and Yao Shali not to tell anyone.

Xu Xinghe was deeply touched by this: "Although people won't joke about this kind of thing, it is indeed embarrassing to have your secret crush known to everyone."

Yao Shali glanced at him. Everyone knew that Xu Xinghe's secret crush was exposed because he was absent from class.

But she nodded to Ai Ning loyally: "Don't worry, I won't say anything more."

In fact, Ai Ning's performance was so obvious that she silently applauded after confirming the class schedule. If it were someone other than Xu Xinghe and Yao Shali, they might not have noticed it.

Another thing is that He Meng and Ai Ning are childhood sweethearts.

Yao Shali: I like this!

Ai Ning was very embarrassed: "I really just had a crush on her. She has only treated me as a good friend for so many years. I didn't dare to confess my feelings, for fear that if I was rejected, we wouldn't even be able to be friends anymore."

The relationship between childhood sweethearts lasts too long. Their lives witness and fill each other's lives. It is of course a happy thing to be able to be together, but what if they can't?

Then all the good past will become painful when recalled. Such a price is too heavy, at least Ai Ning cannot bear it at the moment.

If it came to that, he would probably think that it would have been better if he hadn't confessed.

That is why Ai Ning has continued her secret love to this day.

Xu Xinghe patted Ai Ning's shoulder and sighed as if he were a fellow traveler: "Good luck to you."

Gu Qinghuan was a little surprised when she met Ai Ning and He Meng in the cafeteria. However, when He Meng saw her, his eyes lit up and he ran over to ask.

"Is anyone here?" He Meng asked, holding a plate.

Gu Qinghuan shook her head. The last class this morning was a secondary class. She, Jiang Chuchu and Yu Xin were not in the same class, so she came to eat by herself.

Anyway, as long as the last class in the morning is a main class, we can eat together, and it’s okay if we are not together occasionally.

He Meng asked again: "Can Ning and I sit here?"

Gu Qinghuan nodded happily: "Of course."

This is a table for four, so there's no problem seating two more.

Others didn't come over to sit down, mainly because they saw Gu Qinghuan sitting so calmly at the table for four, and thought she was saving a seat for her friend, so they didn't consider this table.

He Meng sat down opposite Gu Qinghuan, and Ai Ning sat next to He Meng.

He Meng and Gu Qinghuan would occasionally meet each other at school, and say hello, so they knew each other.

"I saw you always having dinner with your classmates before. Did you meet Ai Ning today?" Gu Qinghuan asked casually.

He Meng smiled and said, "Now Aning and I are classmates!"

Gu Qinghuan responded quickly: "You chose the same subjects and were assigned to the same class?"

"Let me tell you, not only are all the elective subjects the same, but we're all assigned to the same class!" He Meng was very proud, "It finally made up for my regret of being in different classes after entering school."

Gu Qinghuan raised his eyes to look at Ai Ning, who was eating with his head down, silent, but there was a piece of ginger on his chopsticks.

She just watched Ai Ning put the ginger into her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, and couldn't help but gasp.

He Meng was very surprised: "What's wrong?"

"Ah, nothing, I just think it's a coincidence." Gu Qinghuan laughed.

After finishing lunch peacefully, He Meng's first class in the afternoon was mathematics. It was said that the teacher had assigned questions to people to answer by random selection, so she had to go back and prepare quickly to avoid being picked out and not being able to answer.

Gu Qinghuan said goodbye to her and looked at Ai Ning next to her: "Is ginger delicious?"

Ai Ning coughed heavily and said with a bitter face: "Squad Leader..."

"Okay, okay, I don't mean to tease you." Gu Qinghuan smiled, "Besides, when I first met He Meng, I guessed what you were thinking."

This time it was Ai Ning who was surprised. He touched his face and said, "Did you notice it then? Was it so obvious?"

"At least I can see it," Gu Qinghuan touched his chin, "After all, you were a little resistant when He Meng said that you two were good friends, but you obviously didn't hate her."

"I'm just guessing that you like her and don't want to be treated as just a friend forever."

"Shh! Shhh!" Ai Ning suddenly became anxious. He looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention before he breathed a sigh of relief.

He scratched his ear and whispered, "Squad Leader, do you think I'm a coward? I'm a coward who doesn't dare to confess."

"No, this is a manifestation of responsibility, right? Confession is not just a simple 'I like you'. It's hard to convey your feelings to someone else. Just take it slow." Gu Qinghuan walked towards the classroom.

Ai Ning followed her footsteps, although he had already thought about it, with his class monitor's emotional intelligence, it would be easy for him to discover his secret love.

But at this moment, Gu Qinghuan spoke so frankly and calmly that he no longer felt shy or embarrassed, and was able to discuss the matter normally.

"Class monitor, you know my family story. When I was a child, my mother was too busy to take care of me, so I always played with A Meng and gradually fell in love with her." Ai Ning said.

If asked what he likes about He Meng, Ai Ning couldn't answer, because if he broke it down to specific points, he might not like them if they appeared in other people.

For example, He Meng is very afraid of the cold in winter, so she wears very thick clothes, including gloves, scarf and hat, and she is very slow to go out.

If it were someone else, Ai Ning would probably find it troublesome, but when it came to He Meng, he would only think that He Meng was so cute in her furry outfit.

"But Ah Meng has always only treated me as a friend," Ai Ning felt a little bitter, "and she can't even sense my feelings."

"I didn't dare to confess because I was afraid that if I was rejected, she would avoid me and we wouldn't even be able to be friends."

Gu Qinghuan tilted her head: "So you think it's fine to keep it like this?"

"No, I don't know what to do." Ai Ning said honestly, "I want to know, squad leader, do you have any suggestions?"

Sooner or later, she can become a psychological counselor. Gu Qinghuan thought so and raised her finger: "In other words, you hope that she can know your feelings? Even if she is rejected, you don't want to affect the current friendship?"

Ai Ning nodded vigorously. He really wanted to say that it would be great if he would not be rejected, but that depended on what He Meng thought. He couldn't force it.

Gu Qinghuan crossed his arms and thought for a moment before he spoke: "Let me confirm one thing first - how did you test He Meng? What did you do to express your feelings?"

After all, human cognition is biased. Maybe Ai Ning thought that she showed it very obviously, but He Meng really didn't notice it?
