"Our class is a new one in the grade. With 42 students, some of which have always been in the main school, and some having come from other branch schools, there are those who know each other and others who do not as of yet. But from now on, our Second Year Class A is one big, collective family! We're all in this together..."

The homeroom teacher was surging with passion as he spurred them on from the podium, but below the podium, numerous students had secretly fished out their cellphones. It didn't take long for the 'Lu-Shen and School Flower Chu just met and didn't get along' news to resemble dandelions blown by the wind. Starting from Class A, it quickly spread throughout the second years, eventually reaching the entire senior high school. Not long after, even the security guard uncles knew.

Class A was in the middle of self-introductions and selecting class representatives.

Starting with those in the first row by the door, they were to stand up and introduce themselves. If someone wanted to be part of the committee, they need to mention what position they were running for and campaign themselves.

Chu Yu was resting on his arms with his eyes closed, the voices from the class seemed distant in his ears. Lingering in his mind was a frame by frame image of the blood stains at the corner of Lu Shi's mouth.

Chu Yu was distressed.

The person sitting in front of him and playing with the Rubik's Cube was called Zhang Yueshan. From his self-introduction, it was the Zhang from LiZaoZhang, and Yueshan in 'bright moon rises from the TianShan Mountains'. He wanted to run for class monitor and what followed was an adlib speech that was much more impassioned than the homeroom teacher's.

After Zhang Yueshan sat down, everyone was left a bit stunned from the shock, so it took a while for a sparse applause to sound its way through the class.

Then it was Chu Yu's turn.

He stood up with his hands on the desk. "I'm Chu Yu."

Lu Shi, who was sitting behind him, raised his eyes just in time to see Chu Yu's arms, which were propped on the desk, slightly shake.

Chu Yu sat back down after speaking. He really didn't have the energy to stand for even a second. He was dizzy and his condition had worsened from when he first arrived at school in the morning.

The doctor back home stated he wasn't sick, but he constantly felt as if he had a terminal illness, the type that was killing him quickly.

There was a ringing in Chu Yu's ears after he sat down, so he didn't clearly hear what Lu Shi had said. It seemed to be the same as his introduction, only a few words were spoken.

Afterwards came the voting for the class representatives. Chu Yu just lay on his desk, his right hand subconsciously covering his abdomen— the pain from his stomach cramps caused him to break out in a cold sweat.

He half-opened his eyes, vaguely seeing everyone applauding, but the applause couldn't reach his ears. A sense of emptiness spread from his limbs throughout his bones, dragging him into burning lava.

"Sir, I think he's sick."

After receiving their textbooks, Zhu Zhifei came over from the class next door and said with an excited tone, "Lu-Ge!"

Lu Shi, who was signing his name on the book, glanced at the visitor then continued writing.

Zhu Zhifei pulled out a chair and sat down. "Lu-Ge, I heard the news that you don't get along with the school flower and that you refused to share desks with him? Is the school flower beautiful? As beautiful as in the legends? Why didn't you want to be deskmates?"
