Li Na nodded slightly at Chen He, who nodded back before addressing Ning Yu. "Morning, Ning Yu," he said, his voice warm.
Ning Yu almost squealed. He still remembered her name! Li Na rolled her eyes discreetly when Ning Yu nearly jumped with joy.
Chen He turned to Li Na and said, "Morning, Li Na. It's good to have you back…I mean, it's good that you're here in school." He corrected himself quickly and ran his hand through his hair nervously. It might have seemed like a normal gesture, but Ning Yu was starstruck.
To Li Na's amusement, Ning Yu seemed on the verge of fainting; it was as if she was meeting her idol at a fan meeting.
Li Na, Ning Yu, and Chen He walked together towards their classroom, engaging in cheerful banter as Ning Yu tried to make the atmosphere lively with her small talk. Chen He would chime in from time to time, and the three of them seemed to be enjoying each other's company.
