"I hope you will bravely move on from the past." He added softly, and at that moment, Shen Moyu saw the indomitable light in Su Jinning's eyes.
He was also taken aback by Su Jinning's words.
Their eyes met, and as they looked at their reflections in each other's eyes, a moment of shyness washed over them.
"Then I wish you that your wish comes true."
"The same to you."
As soon as noon passed, the weather turned cool again, and Shen Moyu put on another jacket.
As soon as he stepped outside, Shen Moyu caught sight of Su Jinning putting on her shoes in the entryway. Leaning against the refrigerator, Shen Moyu jokingly said, "I'm going to work, want me to walk you home?"
Su Jinning looked up at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, her little tiger teeth barely visible: "Okay." He agreed.
Shen Moyu sat in the back seat behind Su Jinning as usual, enjoying the cool spring breeze.
He loved that exhilarating feeling; the motorcycle speeding along allowed him to shake off all his worries.
The two chatted and laughed all the way, and after driving for an unknown amount of time, the door of the coffee shop finally came into view.
Shen Moyu took off his helmet and placed it in Su Jinning's hand: "I'm leaving! See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, top student." Su Jinning put away her helmet and replied in the same way.
Just as Shen Moyu was about to turn and leave, he suddenly grabbed Shen Moyu's wrist.
"Take a break, don't overwork yourself." He finished speaking very quickly, like a criminal being chased, leaving the stunned person behind, and then sped off, starting the engine and disappearing from Shen Moyu's sight.
"Pfft!" Shen Moyu looked at the intersection where he disappeared and laughed, rubbing her forehead.

Chapter 25 So He Was There Too
After the sports meet, the school returned to its usual tranquility, and the exams, which were postponed until the end of March due to the sports meet, finally arrived in mid-April.
You may be late for an exam, but you will never be absent.
School started on Monday, and the entire school was shrouded in the gloom of the end-of-month exams. The newsstand at the entrance of the teaching building was already covered with seating charts for the second year of high school.
Chen Hang, with a toothpick dangling from his mouth, squinted at the crowded and noisy crowd: "Hey Ning, go check the seating chart."
Upon hearing this, Su Jinning took off her headphones, looked over with Chen Hang, and then frowned: "I don't want to go. I know perfectly well where I'll sit for the next exam."
He was right, because with his "excellent" grades, he was already a regular at the 14th and 15th exam halls.
It's not too late to find your seat when you get to the exam room, so why bother squeezing in to look?
"Tsk." Chen Hang curled his lip, spat out the toothpick, and agreed: "Yeah, Class 19 has become Ning Ge's home."
"Get lost." Su Jinning nudged Chen Hang with her elbow, then put on her earphones and walked away on her own.
Su Jinning hadn't gone far when she heard Chen Hang and Shen Moyu talking.
"Hey! You're so late today, you academic genius!"
"I forgot my umbrella, so I went home to get it."
Su Jinning blinked twice, then backed away step by step to her previous position.
"...?" Shen Moyu expressed his confusion about this perplexing behavior.
"Brother Ning, didn't you leave?" Chen Hang scratched his head.
"Can't I come back if I want to?"
"OK."
Su Jinning rolled her eyes, then turned to Shen Moyu with a smile and asked, "Where will you sit next time we take the exam?"
Chen Hang pursed his lips, already used to Su Jinning's preferential treatment. He turned his head and saw Chen Yuanyuan, who had just finished looking at the rankings. His eyes lit up, and he rushed over in a few steps.
"I didn't go, it's too crowded, I don't want to go." Shen Moyu also took off her headphones and looked at the crowd that was still chattering.
"That's right, you don't even need to look to know where to sit next time, right?" Su Jinning shrugged, feigning jealousy.
Without a doubt, the top student in the grade is sitting in the number one seat in the exam room.
Shen Moyu chuckled twice at his silly look: "You don't need to look either, do you?"
"What? You don't need to look, and I don't need to look either. I'm practically a top student now." Su Jinning analyzed earnestly, counting on her fingers.
Shen Moyu smiled and rubbed his forehead, then went into the teaching building with him.
As soon as I arrived in the classroom, I found Yan Sheng already sitting next to the podium with his ever-present old-fashioned water cup.
Apart from the sounds of papers being passed around and people writing, the classroom was unusually quiet.
Because I have an exam tomorrow, I'll be spending the whole day doing practice tests.
Su Jinning pouted, indicating that she was already used to it.
Whenever there's an exam, there's no peace and quiet during morning self-study; Yan Sheng always arrives early to hand out the math papers first.
He casually tossed his backpack on the table, crossed his legs, and turned on his phone.
"Ring ring—"
The school bell rang repeatedly. Yan Sheng stood up and scanned the classroom. His already stern face became even more serious.
Su Jinning, who was watching videos, looked up and met Yan Sheng's murderous gaze. He shivered and lowered his head, deciding to make a quick getaway.
"I think I provoked him, it scared me to death," Su Jinning said in a low voice, tilting her head slightly to Chen Hang.
Chen Hang felt uneasy under Yan Sheng's gaze and said helplessly, "How should I know? He's acting crazy again."
