As soon as Aria entered the classroom, she walked straight toward Shuyong’s desk and sat beside him without hesitation.
A few moments later, Roy entered the class as well.
The moment he noticed Aria sitting next to Shuyong, he frowned slightly.
“Hey, living corpse,”Aria said frankly.
Roy called lazily while leaning against a desk.
“He’s not going to talk to you.
There’s no point trying.”
Aria didn’t even look at him.
“Be quiet.
I’m talking to him.”
Shin, who was watching nearby, sighed dramatically.
“I’m leaving.
I have no intention of dying in this awkward atmosphere.”
Ignoring him completely, Aria rested her elbow on the desk and looked at Shuyong again.
“So… heartbroken boy,” she said casually, “how’s life?”
No response.
Not even a blink.
Aria nodded thoughtfully.
“Okay.
No problem.
I’ll just talk to your girlfriend oh!
Sorry,soory your ex-girlfrien ‘LUCY’…instead.”
Shin almost burst out laughing.
“You can talk to him all day if you want,” Roy said.
“He’s not going to reply.”
Aria finally glanced at him.
“Who’s this barking dog?”
The entire class went silent.
Roy’s expression darkened instantly.
“Watch your mouth.”
Aria stood up slowly and walked toward Roy fearlessly.
“Then learn some manners first.”
“Oh!
you know karna returns ” aria said with a sharp smile
The tension between them instantly became heavy.
Roy stared down at her coldly.
“what do you mean ?”Roy said in a confused way.
“I means that you cheated shuyong by dating his girlfriend and your girlfriend cheated you by dating that ash of section b ”
“Oh really !”
“Yes really “Aria said in a cold way
“And why should I trust someone like you?”
Aria crossed her arms confidently.
“Because unlike you, I actually know what’s happening around me.”
Roy frowned slightly.
“What are you talking about?”
Aria smirked.
“If you don’t believe me, go check the canteen yourself.”
Confused, Roy immediately left the classroom.
A little while later, he returned looking unusually serious.
Everything Aria had said was true.
For the first time, Roy looked at her differently.
Shin asked “what happened Roy”
Roy answered in a low and breaking tone
“The all things that Aria said was true ”
What!
“Don’t worry, Roy.
It’s probably just a misunderstanding or something.
Just calm down for now… and please don’t hurt Ash, for the sake of our entire class
Roy stayed unusually quiet after that.
Soon, the bell rang, and all the students headed toward the P.E.
class on the school ground.
While everyone was busy preparing for the activities, Aria was still sitting beside Shuyong.
She sighed dramatically before speaking again.
“You know, staying silent all the time isn’t healthy,” she said while resting her chin on her hand.
“You should focus on enjoying life too.
These moments won’t come back.”
Shuyong, as always, gave no response.
Aria stared at him for a few more seconds before standing up.
“Still not talking?
Fine.
I’m leaving.”
Just as she turned around—
A voice suddenly stopped her.
“Aria…”
She froze instantly.
For a second, the entire world around her seemed to go silent.
Slowly, she turned back toward Shuyong with wide eyes.
The whole class looked equally shocked.
Even Shin nearly lost his balance.
“You… spoke?” Aria asked in disbelief.
Then a playful grin appeared on her face.
“Oh?
Are you secretly a magician or something?”
Shuyong blinked slowly.
“What?”
Aria pointed at him dramatically.
“You stayed silent for an entire year and suddenly talked today.
That’s basically magic.”
For the first time, a faint expression appeared on Shuyong’s face.
“…I was joking.”
Aria immediately gasped.
“So you do know how to joke!”
Shuyong looked away quietly.
“You talk too much.”
Aria smiled proudly.
“And yet you still replied to me.”
When Miss Chen heard about what had happened, she was completely shocked.
Without wasting any time, she immediately went to inform the principal.
The principal looked equally surprised after hearing everything.
“Call Shuyong’s mother immediately,” he said seriously.
“She needs to know about this.”
Miss Chen quickly nodded and dialed the number.
After a few rings, the call connected.
“Hello?
Am I speaking to Shuyong’s mother?”
A calm female voice answered from the other side.
“Yes, this is she.
Is everything alright?”
Miss Chen took a deep breath before speaking.
“Shuyong… spoke today.”
There was complete silence for two seconds.
Then suddenly—
“What?!”
The woman’s shocked voice echoed through the phone.
“When?
Where?
How?
Who did he talk to?”
Miss Chen smiled softly.
“I’ll explain everything once you arrive at school.”
“Okay,” Shuyong’s mother replied quickly.
“I’m coming right now.”A little while later, a luxurious car stopped outside New Spring Academy.
A graceful woman stepped out of the car.
It was Shuyong’s mother, Mrs.
Yu.
Without wasting a second, she walked straight toward Miss Chen’s office.
Miss Chen immediately stood up politely.
“Welcome, Mrs.
Yu.”
“Thank you,” Mrs.
Yu replied, though her face still carried visible concern.
Then she asked softly,
“May I meet the student who made Shuyong speak?”
Miss Chen blinked for a moment before smiling.
“Oh… yes, of course.
I’ll call her right away.”
