"Hey, Yu Fei, what do you mean by 'visiting'? Who doesn't know that the sky is just a cover for matchmaking? Aren't you curious and excited?"
Phew, I'm so nervous. I wonder what my future partner will be like.
As the classmates excitedly left the classroom, whispering among themselves, only Lin Yuanliang and Meng Ling exchanged a worried glance and followed the crowd with concern. Their expressions were completely out of sync with the others, as if the words "not happy" were written all over their faces.
"Oh! Look at this close-up of the male and female leads! Something's going on!"
"Wait, it's already stated in the plot summary that the male and female leads are in love. What's there to be surprised about? I'm more envious of how they get to meet their partners directly! So jealous!"
"I'm so conflicted. I want to see some sweet youthful romance; I came here for some sugar, but seeing this scene is already giving me a stomachache."
The disappearing Danmaku reappeared as Xu Lie glanced at the male and female leads. The former was gentle, a standard scholarly male lead; the latter was pure as water, with long hair cascading down to her waist, embodying the idealized beauty.
Due to the declining population, there were only about twenty students in their class. Soon everyone boarded the bus, and after half an hour's drive, they arrived at Gene Building.
Only students from their school were visiting today, but as soon as they got off the bus, they spotted a girl in another school's uniform waiting cheerfully in the parking lot.
The girl had striking features—delicate and fair—and when she smiled, she revealed two shallow dimples on her cheeks. She might have been waiting for a long time; her bangs were damp with sweat, sticking messily to her forehead, giving her a cute and innocent look.
With shoulder-length hair and a plain white school uniform that accentuated her curves, she appeared both pure and alluring.
Xu Lie noticed several Danmaku praising Lu Youyou's looks flash by in front of him. He couldn't help but take a few glances himself. If Meng Ling was the boys' idealized beauty, then Lu Youyou was undoubtedly their irresistible temptation.
This female second lead had a lively personality and was quite outgoing. She approached them eagerly: "Hello! I'm Lu Youyou from Class One of Sophomore Year at Si Zhong. May I ask if Lin Yuanliang is here?"
As a side note, due to the population crisis in this world, there were only four high schools in Ancheng, a large first-tier city where Xu Lie lived.
Hearing her words, all the classmates turned their attention to Lin Yuanliang with mixed expressions—some curious and eager for gossip, some envious and jealous, while one gaze filled with resentment came from Meng Ling.
Lin Yuanliang was taken aback. He raised his hand to point at himself: "That's me... This Lu classmate? Looking for me? I don't know her."
Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Youyou interrupted him with a bright smile: "Well now you do! Last week when I visited Gene Building, I found out that my future partner is you."
Out of curiosity about her future husband, I checked the visiting times for each school and took leave to come here to see you.
With Lu Youyou taking such initiative, not only Lin Yuanliang but also their classmates were whispering in disbelief—why didn't they get this kind of treatment?
Only Meng Ling looked at Lin Yuanliang with even more resentment, as if she were gazing at a heartless man.
Lin Yuanliang felt like his head was going to explode!
On one side was his idealized beauty; on the other side was his future partner. He wanted to explain things to Meng Ling but felt it would be disrespectful to Lu Youyou.
In a state of numbness after finishing the Sichuan pepper, Lin Yuanliang was lost in thought. Before he could come to any conclusions, their homeroom teacher suddenly appeared like a hero descending from the heavens, rescuing the students from their predicament. "Ahem, let's not keep the staff waiting. It's time for us to go in."
"Um, you're Lu, right? Just follow along for now."
In the context of a looming population crisis, middle school teachers had become less strict about early relationships among students who were considered Gene Matching pairs. However, if it was a non-Gene Matching relationship, they would still intervene and provide serious guidance.
[Ahh, I was looking forward to seeing the male lead in a dilemma, and now the homeroom teacher has interrupted everything.]
[Tsk tsk, can that teenage boy really handle the gaze of Meng Ling?]
[Suddenly, I really want to support Lu Youyou; I just love proactive girls.]
Xu Lie casually glanced at the Danmaku and then entered the Gene Building with an expression full of anticipation. He wasn't looking forward to any future pairing; he was simply recalling how they had been assigned to control the Smart Mini Mecha remotely during class. That setup was located in this very building.
