After school, Bai Caokui paced back and forth in the hallway, walking to one end and then turning around to walk to the other. She did this repeatedly, hoping to catch a glimpse of Hong Shuangyu each time she passed.
Luckily, none of the other students leaving school seemed to notice her, allowing her to wander back and forth for so long.
Actually, she had come here with a plan in mind. Her real purpose wasn't to steal glances at Hong Shuangyu, although the moment she saw him, she forgot all about her intentions and started her repetitive walk, stealing glances.
When almost all the students had left, Hong Shuangyu was still alone in the classroom, waiting. Bai Caokui knew who he was waiting for. Every day, morning and evening, he went to and from school with Hong Xue.
Realizing that almost all the students were gone, Bai Caokui stopped pacing. Walking back and forth so obviously would be noticed by Hong Shuangyu if he paid even the slightest attention.
Finally, Bai Caokui saw Hong Xue return to the classroom, ready to go home with Hong Shuangyu.
Hiding in a secluded spot, she could only enviously watch Hong Shuangyu and Hong Xue talking. Remembering how her love letter had been torn up, she felt saddened again.
After a few words, Hong Xue suddenly lunged at Hong Shuangyu and hugged him.
This warm gesture, perfectly normal for family members, caused Bai Caokui’s heart to clench with sudden pain.
Bai Caokui couldn't help but grab her chest, her breathing becoming rapid, her eyes gradually becoming vacant.
...What... is this... why...? What is this feeling...? It hurts so much... it’s so painful...
I want to! Why! I want to talk to him too! What right does she have? I want to hug him too! I’m so envious! So jealous!!!
Why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why?
Bai Caokui's mind was in chaos. They had only exchanged a few words, and although it was a one-sided rescue, she had become incredibly infatuated with him, even leading her to the audacious act of writing a love letter.
Bai Caokui didn't understand why she was feeling this way. While Hong Xue was hugging Hong Shuangyu, her emotions slowly shifted from jealousy to murderous intent. She stared blankly at Hong Xue, her eyes filled with terrifying malice.
Don't touch him! I won't let you touch him! Not even family! I won't allow it! Get away from him! Or I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Even if you're family, I'll kill you!
Unfortunately, although Bai Caokui had these terrible thoughts, she didn't dare to act on them.
As Bai Caokui was lost in her thoughts, Hong Shuangyu and Hong Xue left the classroom.
Seeing them leave, the emptiness in Bai Caokui's eyes was suddenly replaced with panic. She had to hide quickly!
Although her current position was out of sight from inside the classroom, she could easily be spotted as they walked out the door.
Thanks to her agile reflexes, Bai Caokui narrowly avoided being discovered.
After waiting for a while to make sure nothing unexpected would happen, Bai Caokui quietly entered the classroom.
Emerging from the darkness cut by the twilight, Bai Caokui went to Hong Shuangyu's desk.
"........"
After staring at Hong Shuangyu's desk for a while, Bai Caokui sat down in his seat.
She pressed her face tightly against the desk, her slender hands constantly stroking the surface as if it were soft cotton.
Ah... his scent is on it... his warmth is still on the chair... it feels like I'm hugging him...
Savoring the barely detectable scent and the fading warmth, Bai Caokui was lost in her own fantasies in the empty classroom.
The emptiness and coldness in her eyes were replaced by the shyness of a girl in love.
Bai Caokui suddenly felt a heat in her stomach, and her legs involuntarily tightened and gently rubbed together.
She felt an itching sensation spreading from below her stomach, and one hand couldn't help but reach towards the indescribable depths.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
What have I done?!
Bai Caokui covered her face, which felt like it was burning, and screamed inwardly.
Although she sometimes did such things in private, it was usually at night and in her own room.
Even though most people had done something like this, doing it in someone else's seat was too shameless!
The more Bai Caokui thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. She ran around the classroom until she exhausted herself and ended up panting in Hong Shuangyu's seat.
Ahhhh, so shameless... will he think I'm a frivolous girl...? What if... no!!
Bai Caokui started fantasizing again.
While she was lost in thought, she inadvertently looked up and saw the clock on the blackboard.
It's already this late!
The shock made her jump out of her seat.
I forgot to do what I came here for!
Bai Caokui quickly pulled an envelope out of her bag. That's right, she was going to write another love letter.
Even though it would be torn up by President Hong Xue and there was a high chance of being discovered, she still had to write it.
Perhaps this was Bai Caokui's unknown side, and she herself didn't realize how different she was now from her usual self.
And so, Bai Caokui sat in Hong Shuangyu's seat and began to write the love letter she had already planned.
Rustle—rustle——
The only sound in the classroom, gradually consumed by darkness, was the faint scratching of a pen. It was already very dark, and Bai Caokui could only rely on the dim twilight to write.
Soon, Bai Caokui had finished the letter. She carefully folded it and placed it in a heart-covered envelope, then put the love letter in Hong Shuangyu's desk in an inconspicuous place, but where it could be found by simply bending down.
Having done all this, Bai Caokui touched her chest, took a deep breath, glanced at Hong Shuangyu's seat with reluctance, and then left the classroom.
Ah... my underwear is wet and uncomfortable...
Bai Caokui thought as she walked out of the classroom, her face turning red again as she recalled what she had just done.

"La la la la~"
Kinoshita Momoko walked lightly on the way home from school, as if she were about to jump.
After enduring a night of torment, Kinoshita Momoko finally returned to normal this afternoon, and even more "normal" than usual.
Her body, which had been tortured by "hunger" all over, now seemed to have inexhaustible strength, making Kinoshita Momoko feel refreshed.
As usual, Kinoshita Momoko went to the convenience store to scavenge for food, even though she couldn't feel hunger anymore. But based on her experience the day before yesterday, things wouldn't be that simple.
Opening the door to her apartment, the strange smell left over from last night had not yet completely dissipated, but it was mostly gone.
After putting away the food, Kinoshita Momoko twitched her little nose.
"No... the smell is still there."
And so, Kinoshita Momoko began her daily cleaning.
After a round of cleaning, the smell in the room finally didn't feel so strong.
Kinoshita Momoko realized that she seemed to have to clean her room frequently lately, thanks to her strange physique.
Although she used to be very lazy and wouldn't clean her room unless she absolutely had to.
But recently, her physique's "rampage" would mess up the entire room, after all, she had no awareness at the time.
Because there was no air conditioner or fan in the room, Kinoshita Momoko couldn't help but break out in sweat every time she finished cleaning.
As for why she didn't buy one, Kinoshita Momoko felt that it would save electricity to solve the problem of eating. In fact, it only helped her to eat an extra meal a month.
"One extra meal is still a meal!"
Kinoshita Momoko said exasperatedly.
.....
Wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, Kinoshita Momoko sat in front of the only window in the room, enjoying the slight evening breeze.
She was thinking about what happened today, and then, thinking about it, she suddenly thought of a serious problem:
What if her physique broke out like last night?
Kinoshita Momoko rested her chin on her hand, and after taking a shower, beads of sweat started to appear on her forehead.
Since this afternoon, she had been immersed in the comfort of having her "hunger" relieved by Hong Shuangyu, and she had completely forgotten about her own problems, even though she had just bought food.
Kinoshita Momoko looked at the convenience store bags full of food, which were about the same as usual...
More sweat began to appear on her forehead, and Kinoshita Momoko began to tremble.
...Don't panic... calm down... think carefully... there must be a way
Unwilling to give up, Kinoshita Momoko opened the food bag and looked at it.
Not enough to fill a gap in her teeth... I'm such a big eater... big eater... that's right... big eater!
Thinking of last night's competition, Kinoshita Momoko immediately took out her phone.
Search... big eater competition... region selection...
"......"
Sure enough, heaven would not favor someone casually. Kinoshita Momoko, who had been favored by heaven yesterday, would not have such a good coincidence again today.
What to do... what to do...
Kinoshita Momoko started pacing around the room, her body, which had just taken a shower, was sweating again due to excessive tension.
After thinking about it, Kinoshita Momoko decided that going out was the only way to solve the problem. Although it might cost a large sum of money, she had no choice. If she didn't do this, she couldn't imagine what she would do when she lost her rationality.
Recalling a little bit of memory from last night, she couldn't help but shudder. She vaguely remembered that she seemed to want to eat the food wrappers.
Without saying much, Kinoshita Momoko changed her clothes, took her money, and planned to go out.
But just as she was about to move, she stopped.
Kinoshita Momoko hesitated for a moment, what if nothing happened tonight?
And so, she started thinking on the ground again.
A few more minutes passed, and Kinoshita Momoko finally decided that going out was the best option, but before that, she still wanted to try to see what stage her current physique was at.
This attempt was the worst choice Kinoshita Momoko made tonight.
Opening the convenience store bag, she casually took out a bag of bread, and Kinoshita Momoko tore open the bread wrapper.
Looking at the bread in her hand, Kinoshita Momoko swallowed her saliva, smelling the slightly sweet aroma of the bread.
Kinoshita Momoko opened her mouth and bit into it.
......
The softness of the bread and the crispness of the crust touched her teeth, and her tongue felt the sweetness of the bread.
......
Kinoshita Momoko swallowed the bread.
Although she swallowed it, as before, Kinoshita Momoko knew how her body felt now.
She didn't want to eat it.
