Winter break came early this year, so the final exams were just around the corner, not long after the New Year holiday.
The atmosphere in the class was tense, with the top few students working hard, hoping to smoothly enter the advanced class at the beginning of the next semester.
Jennie didn't have much obsession with the advanced class, but recently, Lisa's grades have been getting better and better. In the last monthly exam, she was only a few places away from entering the advanced class.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to enter the advanced class next semester.
For this reason, Jennie has been studying more seriously these days.
Next Monday is the final exam, so on Friday, the teacher asked everyone to clear their desks.
The classroom was in chaos, and Jennie lightly touched Lisa's sleeve and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go to the advanced class?"
Amidst the clamor, Lisa lowered his gaze. He didn't really care about all this noise, as he always kept his head buried in his books, whether in the advanced or regular classes, it made no difference to him.
All he ever wanted was to be in the same class as her, no matter where it was. But how could he dare to say it out loud?
Lisa's hand holding the pen tightened slightly as he raised his eyes. The setting sun's rays shone into the girl's eyes, making them clear and bright, as if they contained a shallow pool of clear water, with a hint of curiosity.
"Don't you want to?" She asked hesitantly when he didn't answer.
Lisa pursed his lips and nodded silently. She was such a dazzling girl, excelling in everything. She must really want to go back to the advanced class after dropping out.
If that was the case, he wanted to go too.
Like the blooming of flowers in spring, a faint smile spread across the girl's peach blossom eyes, completing their crescent shape.
Her tone was light and cheerful as she said, "Let's work hard together for the final exams and get into the advanced class."
Together...
Lisa's heart skipped a beat as a sweet feeling gradually spread from the depths of his heart. These two words seemed to possess a magical power, taking root and sprouting within him.
A cool breeze blew into the classroom, carrying the chill of a winter night. The vocabulary book on Lisa's desk rustled in the wind, but he lowered his gaze and found that the previously obscure and difficult English words had become captivating.

On Friday when she returned home, Jennie discovered an unexpected guest in the house.
The young man was lying on the sofa, holding his phone horizontally, with a strand of hair sticking up, suppressing his originally lazy and unrestrained temperament.
He heard the sound of the door opening and continued with his work.
He lifted his eyelids lazily and saw that it was Jennie.
He responded lazily, "Oh, you're back."
Jennie asked coldly, "Is this your house or mine?" as she put down his backpack.
The sound of "defeat" came from his phone, and Yeonjun threw it onto the sofa with a "smack."
He stretched lazily and said, "I didn't really want to come either, but your mom made me."
Yeonjun was Jennie's cousin, the child of her uncle.
His parents had a business marriage and didn't have much affection for each other. They often weren't home.
