Compared to the wheelchair-bound Huo Xiaoyang from before, he seemed less mature now. Instead, he seemed more cheerful and youthful.

He was tall and wore a high school uniform. As he walked along the corridor, he attracted a lot of attention.

Huo Xiaoyang walked past Ningzhi and stood outside the classroom door. "Can you help me look for Huo Xiaoyue?"

The girl instinctively held her breath when she was called. Her face instantly flushed. "She's not in the classroom. Our next period is physical education. I think she went to the swimming pool early."

The girl did not dare look directly at Huo Xiaoyang's face. He was too handsome. "I can tell Xiaoyue later that you came to look for her."

"Okay, thank you."

Huo Xiaoyang's handsome face had a gentle smile on it. The girl became even more shy. "Senior, you're … you're welcome."

Ningzhi overheard their conversation and knew that Lu Jue was at the swimming pool. She turned and left.

When Ningzhi arrived at the gymnasium, she saw that the students had changed into swimming trunks and swimsuits. The indoor temperature was controlled. Even though it was winter, the gymnasium was still very warm.

Since the two classes were in class together, there were a lot of people around.

Ningzhi originally thought that it would be difficult to find Lu Jue among so many people.

However, among the many boys in black trunks, there was a figure in flowery trunks. She found Lu Jue at a glance.

It was really easy to find him.

Ningzhi walked through the crowd towards the tall and thin figure.

"Lu Jue." Ningzhi stood behind him and patted his shoulder.

It had been almost six months since the last time she saw him, when he was in the third year of middle school. Lu Jue had grown a lot taller. He was almost 1.8 meters tall now.

Lu Jue did not react. He stood there in a daze.

Ningzhi was about to walk up to him when someone beat her to it.

It was Huo Xiaoyue from high school.

She was wearing a pure white one-piece swimsuit and her hair was tied into a high ponytail. She looked youthful and pretty. She smiled and asked Lu Jue, "Tomorrow is my birthday. I'm going to ask my classmates at work to celebrate it. Do you want to come?"

Lu Jue lowered his head and ignored her.

Huo Xiaoyue was already used to his silence. "If you don't say anything, I'll take it that you'll come."

She added, "You always watch us go into the water during swimming lessons. Why don't I teach you this time?"

If she taught Lu Jue how to swim, the two of them would inevitably have physical contact. The more Huo Xiaoyue thought about it, the sweeter she felt. "Lu Jue, I'll teach you how to swim."

Lu Jue continued to ignore her.

Just then, a girl walked over. Ningzhi felt that the girl looked very familiar.

The next second, she heard Huo Xiaoyue call the girl's name Li Li. Ningzhi looked at the girl's face again. Gradually, the girl's facial features matched up with the face with heavy makeup.

It really was Li Li.

Ningzhi still remembered that Li Li had said bad things about Huo Xiaoyue in the washroom and had been slapped in the face.

The more intimate Huo Xiaoyue and Li Li were now, the more strained the relationship between Huo Xiaoyue and Li Li would be in the future.

"Xiaoyue, the teacher is here. Let's hurry over and gather," Li Li reminded Huo Xiaoyue.

"Got it." Huo Xiaoyue glanced at Lu Jue again before reluctantly leaving.

The bell for class rang and everyone gathered. Lu Jue was the only one who didn't seem to hear the bell. He was still standing there.

Clearly, the PE teacher was used to Lu Jue's special existence. He didn't pay attention to Lu Jue. He knew that this student was very quiet and wouldn't disturb the others.

The PE teacher shouted the slogan and began to lead everyone in warm-up exercises.
