The demands are quite shameless.
Shen Moyu smiled insincerely: "Each relies on their own abilities."
"Damn it." Su Jinning pouted. "They really don't know how to be considerate."
"Even so, you're probably just hoping they'll come back, aren't you?" Chen Hang said smugly, arms crossed.
A chorus of agreement rippled through the crowd, and Su Jinning suddenly blushed.
"Sister Jin said she was going to move him to a different seat, but he absolutely refused to leave." Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Who doesn't know he couldn't bear to give up this position?"
"That's right, that's right."
Shen Moyu looked at him with feigned disbelief, "Oh, really?"
While others were digging into his past, Shen Moyu was gloating on the sidelines.
Su Jinning immediately slammed her hand on the table: "Alright, alright, I just can't bear to part with it. Do you need to tell me what to do?"
The surrounding classmates burst into laughter as Su Jinning admitted it without batting an eye. Several girls even shouted, "I'm totally shipping them!"
"But speaking of which, why did you suddenly come back this time? Even the teacher didn't know."
Shen Moyu twirled his pen, looked out the window as if deep in thought, and then gave a mysterious smile: "Maybe it's because someone stole my first place and is unhappy about it."
The classmates knew he was still joking, and they all looked unsatisfied, as if they weren't quite satisfied with his revelation: "What?!"
Shen Moyu glanced at Su Jinning and found him looking at her with a resentful expression, his forehead seemingly saying: "Is that all?"
Shen Moyu put his arm around Su Jinning's shoulder. "Or perhaps..." From an angle where no one around could see, he looked at him affectionately, "it's because I can't bear to part with a certain little liar."

Although she is supposed to be returning to school, Shen Moyu doesn't even have a student registration yet, which is equivalent to "working without a license".
In the afternoon, Jin Shuoshuo sent a WeChat message: "Find a time for your parents to complete the reinstatement procedures. After all, you are currently in a withdrawal state, and your student status is not at this school."
Shen Moyu frowned and slowly replied: Okay.
To be honest, this is a really difficult situation. He just ran away last night, and Shen Donghai is probably furious. Not to mention what other outrageous things he might do next, getting him back to school is just a pipe dream.
"What's wrong?" Su Jinning took off her headphones, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and asked him.
Shen Moyu snapped out of her thoughts and casually shoved her phone into the desk drawer: "It's nothing, you can go to sleep."
Su Jinning frowned. If he couldn't tell his boyfriend's mood from changing, wouldn't he be incredibly irresponsible? He yawned, leaned closer, and nuzzled Su Jinning's hair: "So, tell me, did your dad call you or what?"
Su Jinning's expression remained completely calm, as if she were having a normal conversation. Even Shen Moyu was somewhat surprised. He chuckled and reached out to pinch Su Jinning's cheek: "What, not scared anymore?"
"What am I afraid of?" Su Jinning was still a little unhappy, pinching his fingers and placing them on her chest: "I've never been afraid of anything from beginning to end, what I'm afraid of is just..."
What I fear most is that you might do something foolish for me, that I, Shen Donghai, will keep making things difficult for you, and that I really don't have the ability to give you such a good future.
His unfinished words were revealed through his eyes, which he had tried to hide, but Shen Moyu saw them all.
He patted Su Jinning's head: "I know, we won't talk about this anymore."
“It doesn’t matter what you say.” Su Jinning looked him straight in the eye. “It doesn’t matter if he does anything outrageous again. Now that I’ve brought you back this time, nothing is destined to break us apart.”
The afternoon wind was sticky and humid, but at this moment Shen Moyu felt incredibly refreshed.
He used to laugh at those silly, naive girls who would run off with someone they liked after hearing a few vows of eternal love.
But when he truly falls in love with someone and meets those firm yet gentle eyes, he can go crazy.
Because those seemingly exaggerated vows of eternal love suddenly become tangible promises at that moment.

Shen Moyu was actually thinking about how to go back to school all the time. She was often absent-minded and even felt a little uncomfortable looking at her phone, which was completely still all day.
Shen Donghai hadn't even called him.
Today was indeed the day he was supposed to leave. Could it be that Shen Donghai really has abandoned him and let him fly away?
He felt that Shen Donghai wouldn't be so kind.
Sure enough, his phone rang right after school let out; it was Zhou Xingqi.
Su Jinning put a mouthful of rice in her mouth, looked at Shen Moyu who was staring blankly at his phone, and took the phone from him. "He's with me. I'm not going back. I'm not breaking up with him. We can talk about it later."
Shen Moyu was stunned, and Zhou Xingqi laughed angrily: "Are you sick, Su Jinning? It's like I'm going to break you two up again."
Su Jinning chuckled twice, then got back to the point: "What is it?"
"We're at the airport." Zhou Xingqi paused for a moment. "Give the phone to my brother."
The two of them were indeed stunned. Shen Moyu took the phone: "What did you say? At the airport?"
What does that mean? Is this the end of the matter?
“Well, Dad… ah, well, Uncle’s illness can’t wait much longer.” Zhou Xingqi quickly changed his words, scratching his head: “He has to go back for surgery, and besides, he wanted to see you before he left.”
Zhou Xingqi said that he would be boarding in about an hour, and he could come whenever he wanted.
Shen Moyu thought about it for a long time, and it didn't seem like a lie, but he still couldn't quite believe that Shen Donghai was the kind of person who would surrender without a fight.
He wanted to go. After all, he was his father. If he really agreed this time and simply wanted to see him, he would definitely go. After all, who knew when they would see each other again after this separation?
He did hate Shen Donghai, but now Su Jinning was back by his side, and he was certain that the two of them would not be separated by anything from the outside world this time. He just wanted to get into university with Su Jinning, and he didn't have the energy to pursue anything else, nor was it that important.
"Go if you want to." Su Jinning raised her eyebrows and wiped the drink stains from his lips. "There are some things I also want to say to him."
There was some traffic on the way, and what should normally be a 20-minute journey took more than half an hour. The two of them sped up and ran into the airport. Zhou Xingqi, with his sharp eyes, spotted them immediately and quickly waved.
Jiehe was leaning on Zhou Xingqi's shoulder, scrolling through his phone. He was clearly surprised to see the two of them coming over, and then nudged Shen Donghai.
