53 My Daughter-in-law 3 (1/2)

Amongst the group of eighth graders, Peach appeared especially petite in terms of height. As Shen Mochen's class, Grade Eight Class Two, was on the third floor, Peach climbed up the stairs without a word. The students who passed by her after school could not help but cast her curious glances.

At the entrance of Class Two, Peach realised that there were still many students in the classroom, unlike the seventh grade classrooms where there was basically nobody by this time.

Standing outside the classroom, Peach looked inside, her eyes sweeping across rows of unfamiliar faces before finally spotting Shen Mochen packing his bag in the penultimate row of seats in the classroom.

As if feeling Peach's gaze on him, Shen Mochen looked up and turned to look out of the classroom, before looking down and continuing to pack his schoolbag. When he had finished packing, he sauntered out of the classroom and briskly said to Peach who was waiting for him, ”Let's go.”

”Okay.” Peach naturally ran over to Shen Mochen, and reached out to hold his arm.

There was a sudden collective gasp in the classroom behind them.

Shen Mochen glanced down at Peach's hands which were holding his arm tightly and begrudgingly sighed, ”Peach, we're in school.”

”Huh? What's wrong?” Peach blinked at him with her innocent big eyes and looked at him strangely. ”We also did this in school back in elementary school.”

”We're in middle school now.” Shen Mochen reached out and knocked on her head. ”Be careful not to be caught by the Devil Teacher from the Students' Affairs Office. She's an expert in catching puppy love amongst students. If you get caught, she'll call your parents.”

”Then why would you ask me to wait for you outside your classroom.” Peach quickly withdrew her hands, and threw him a derisive look while rubbing her head that hurt from his knocking.

”The two students in front, stop right there!”
