No one knew what Chen Ziyi had said to Lu Yiqi, but after hearing it, Lu Yiqi stood frozen for a long while, unable to react.

Seeing this, Xie Xu moved closer and waved a hand in front of her face. “Hey, what did she say to leave you so stunned?”

At the sound of Xie Xu’s voice, Lu Yiqi finally came back to herself. She raised a hand in disbelief. “What’s going on between He Shi and Ziyi? She actually abandoned me to have a private meal with him?”

Looks like He Shi’s efforts had paid off. Xie Xu was secretly delighted.

On the surface, however, he merely shrugged with an air of calm indifference. “You haven’t noticed that kid He Shi has his eye on Chen Ziyi?”

Lu Yiqi: “???”

When had He Shi started pursuing her best friend?

“No, wait. When did that happen?”

“Just recently.”

“...”

“Come on. Aren’t you hungry? Why are you still standing here? Let’s go eat too.”

“Coming, coming.”

“What do you want to eat?”

“Spicy hot pot!”

...

The cafeteria.

After paying and collecting their order number, Xie Xu went to buy drinks and told Lu Yiqi to find them a seat and wait for him.

Lu Yiqi obediently chose a spot and sat down to wait. Then she lowered her head and started scrolling through her phone.

After a while, someone plopped down unceremoniously in the seat opposite her.

Thinking Xie Xu had returned, Lu Yiqi looked up. “You’re back—”

But the moment she saw who was sitting across from her, her voice cut off. She blinked several times.

The boy had delicate, refined features. Lu Yiqi felt that he looked vaguely familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen him before.

The boy spoke first. “It really is you. I thought I was mistaken.”

Before Lu Yiqi could ask who he was, the boy continued chattering. “Do you still remember me? I’m Gu Zifan, from Class Three, Grade Eleven. We met at the birthday party of the young master of the Xie family. I... I even confessed my feelings to you that day.”

Gu Zifan grew a little embarrassed at this point, but he pressed on. “We even added each other on WeChat! But, Lu Yiqi...”

His expression suddenly turned solemn, making Lu Yiqi think he had something important to tell her. She gave a questioning hum.

“Lu Yiqi, didn’t we agree that if I didn’t bother you, you wouldn’t block me? I—I—I mean, does introducing myself count as bothering you?”

“Huh?” There did seem to be some agreement like that, but... “What introduction? Why don’t I know anything about it?”

“I sent you a few messages that night, and then the next day I discovered that you had blocked me...”

Lu Yiqi stared at him in utter confusion.

She remembered adding him on WeChat, but when had she blocked him? She had no recollection of ever doing that.

So Lu Yiqi said, “Are you sure you haven’t misunderstood? I didn’t block you, and I never saw your messages either.”

“What?” Gu Zifan was dumbfounded as well. He took out his phone, unlocked it, opened WeChat, and pulled up his chat with Lu Yiqi before holding it out to her. “Look. This is your account, and it says I’ve been blocked.”

Lu Yiqi looked at the long string of exclamation marks and could not help giving a soft laugh. Then a sense of bafflement swept over her.

“Wait a moment.”

Lu Yiqi took out her own phone and searched through it, only to discover that Gu Zifan really was lying in her blocked contacts.

Had a ghost done this?

Had he somehow crawled into her blocked list all by himself?

Lu Yiqi’s thoughts drifted back to that night. After she had added Gu Zifan, Xie Xu had inexplicably forced her to go to the restroom...
