She had met Jungkook in Empire High School, and he was the only student from City A there. They happened to be deskmates. She remembered it was a hot summer. Even the air conditioner in the classroom couldn’t bring down the room temperature, so she was drowsy in class. She happened to sit by the window. In one class, the power went out, and the generator also failed, so the students rolled the curtains up and open the window for ventilation. The sun had shone on her fair-skinned face and it was scorched red by the sunshine. At that time, Jungkook, who had been sitting by her side, had taken a look at her and then suddenly stood up.

The teacher asked him why he stood up, and he said that he dozed off because it was too hot without an air-conditioner, so he wanted to stand in class. The teacher was glad that he studied so hard, so she didn’t stop him.

At first, Lalisa had thought this boy must have something wrong with his brain. He didn’t study hard normally. Why did he suddenly become a good student? But later she found out that when he was standing there, the sunshine was blocked by his body. As the breeze blew in, although it was still hot, it became more comfortable for sleeping. The moment she fell asleep, she thought it was great the sunshine was blocked by the standing boy.

Later, when they were together in college, he demurely told her that he had stood up to shield her from the sun.

He used to be so romantic, but he looked so cold when she saw him today. In reality, he had a sunny side to him in the past. Was it because of her that he became like this?

Lalisa didn’t realize that the student who was answering the question was greatly distracted by her gaze. He looked back at Lalisa only to see that she was smiling at him. He blushed, thinking, “Does Student Lisa have a crush on me?”

As his mind was filled with wild thoughts, he completely forgot the next question the teacher asked and just stood there, blushing.

The teacher glared at the student and looked back only to see that Lalisa was smiling at the student, holding her chin with a hand. He was very angry, but thinking of Ms. Cao, he restrained his temper, wrote the answer to the question on the blackboard and asked the student, “Student Chen Weichen, now do you know the answer?”

Chen Weichen embarrassedly scratched the back of his head and nodded with a red face, replying, “Yes, sir.”

The teacher nodded and asked him to sit down. After sitting down, Chen Weichen couldn’t help looking back at Lalisa again only to find that she was still staring at the same spot in the same position. He raised his eyes, took a look at that spot, and sadly realized that Student Lisa hadn’t been looking at him; he had just happened to stand in the scenery she was enjoying.

Obviously, the teacher had also noticed this. He coughed and felt lucky that he didn’t blame Lisa just now.

After a moment of thought, he decided to check on Student Lisa’s basic knowledge, so he wrote a question on the blackboard and asked the students who could answer it. Everyone was silent. The teacher nodded and then called Lisa to answer it. Since none of the other students could answer the question, she wouldn’t be too embarrassed even if she couldn’t answer either, and then he could explain it to her.

The teacher thought he was truly clever.

Lalisa didn’t expect the teacher would call her to answer the question. She was still dazed when she stood up, but she quickly adjusted herself and asked the teacher, “Mr. Li, do you want me to write the answer to this question on the blackboard?”

Mr. Li thought she didn’t know the answer, so he said, “If you don’t know the answer, I’ll explain it to you…”

“Okay, I see.” Lalisa left her seat, went to the platform, took a piece of chalk and began to write the answer on the blackboard. Pretty soon, a detailed answer appeared on the blackboard step by step. Lalisa checked her answer carefully before asking Mr. Li, “Mr. Li, did I answer it correctly?”
