“Xiao Xiao, come here quickly! What does the Lao Ban want with you?” Ling Ling returned from the restroom and was surprised to find Li Xiao missing from her desk. She hurriedly asked the classmates behind her and learned that Li Xiao had been called away by the Lao Ban. For someone like them, who had always been inconspicuous, it was unusual to be summoned, leaving Ling Ling feeling a bit anxious about what might have happened. 0
 
Finally spotting Li Xiao at the classroom door, she sprang up from her seat and rushed over, asking as they walked together. 0
 
Ling Ling observed Li Xiao's expression; it lacked the disappointment one would expect from a stormy situation. Instead, she seemed quite happy, with a subtle smile playing at the corners of her mouth. 0
 
“Looks like something good is happening!” 0
 
“Is there? My expression?” Li Xiao thought Ling Ling was being overly dramatic; she had merely felt a small flutter of excitement inside. 0
 
But Ling Ling insisted, “Your eyes give you away.” 0
 
“Alright, I’ll tell you. The homeroom teacher asked me to take some photos during the sports meet, so I joined the Photography Team,” Li Xiao said casually, though the joy in her eyes was unmistakable. 0
 
“The Lao Ban really knows how to hit your sweet spot! No wonder!” Ling Ling exclaimed, giving a thumbs-up with a hint of admiration in her eyes. 0
 
Li Xiao nodded eagerly and returned to her seat, retrieving the camera from her backpack. It was a gift from her father on her twelfth birthday. 0
 
When she first received it, she couldn’t put it down. She dreamed of going out every day to capture this and that. Over time, it became a habit to document the moments around her. 0
 
The camera was always by her side. 0
 
 
Ling Ling said that the photo she took of her was her favorite. 0
 
This time at the sports meet, she was determined to take a lot of pictures and planned to buy more photo paper over the weekend. 0
 
"Hey, Xiao Xiao, I just joined Cheerleading! When the time comes, I’ll be wearing my Cheerleading uniform, so remember to take lots of beautiful photos of me," Ling Ling leaned closer to Li Xiao, her big eyes fixed on the camera in her hands. 0
 
"Hmm? I remember you said you didn’t want to join Cheerleading because you’d feel embarrassed dancing those aerobic routines," Li Xiao teased, amused by how quickly Ling Ling had changed her mind. 0
 
Ling Ling gently nudged Li Xiao's shoulder and leaned in closer, whispering lightly, "Well, I heard from the class monitor that this time the team uniforms are specially customized. They’re different!" 0
 
She smiled shyly after saying that. "And also, Lu Yihang is participating in the 1500-meter race this time." 0
 
Now she understood the main reason behind it all. 0
 
"So, Xiao Xiao, can you practice with me over the weekend?" 0
 
"No way, I need to go buy photo paper." 0
 
"How about this: I'll go with you to buy photo paper first, and then you can come to my house and help me practice." 0
 
"Is that okay, Xiao Xiao? Please, Xiao Xiao!" 0
 
She shook Li Xiao's arm playfully, making Li Xiao feel like her head was spinning from the motion. 0
 
 
"Alright, alright, just promise me you'll get up early this weekend and go buy some photo paper first." 0
 
Ling Ling hurriedly gave an OK gesture. 0
 
As expected by Li Xiao, after her three consecutive calls, Ling Ling appeared at the store entrance with a guilty look on her face. 0
 
"I swear, I swear on my beauty, I set two alarms for seven-thirty, but in the end..." 0
 
"In the end? It was completely useless." 0
 
"Xiao Xiao, don't be mad, don't be mad. I'll treat you to milk tea. Come on!" 0
 
"Hmph." 0
 
"This won't happen again, I promise it won't happen again." 0
 
"This new oatmeal flavor isn't bad, you should try it. You always order lemon. Looking at the data, this flavor doesn't sell well; it probably can only be sold to you." 0
 
Every time she went out with Li Xiao, whether it was drinks or desserts, Ling Ling always preferred lemon flavor. Strangely enough, besides lemon fruit tea, they also had lemon milk tea. Li Xiao immediately bought a cup, and out of curiosity, Ling Ling ordered one too but never took a second sip. 0
 
However, Li Xiao thought it was quite good and continued to order it afterward. Ling Ling could only think that she must have been a lemon spirit in her past life. 0
