“Oh~ Safe, safe~ I almost got late~” I rushed to the door of my classroom in the fastest speed. Having stopped abruptly and pushed the door open, I walked into the classroom with fluid movements.

I had arrived just in time. The school bell would ring in twenty seconds.

Everyone in the class all looked at me. And I also greeted them with a bright smile.

“Hi~ Good morning, everyone~” However, no one responded to me. They only looked at the platform with weird looks on their faces.

Miss Zhen bulged her face in anger with her hands on her hips while shouting to me with her eyes wildly open. However, I found her not scary but even a bit adorable like little squealing cat.

“What are you thinking! You have already been late! Li Nai! And Jun Cheng is late, too!”

“Huh?! I thought there were still twenty seconds! How’s it possible! I have just confirmed the time yesterday! Why did you call me late!”

“The bell has already rang! Don’t you know that the bell in our school always rings five minutes ahead!”

“What! Really!?”

“How can you not know about that! It’s your second year in our school!”

“Gosh, I have a short memory! Sorry, Miss Zhen, I promise you that I won’t be late tomorrow!”

“You have already promised the same thing to me last Friday…”

“Ha ha~” I didn’t lie to her. I did have forgotten about that. After all, all the zombies’ memories were bad, maybe only better than the fish.

Jun Cheng who had followed me into the classroom propped his face with one of his hand while saying disappointedly,

“Eh… So why have I taken a short cut…” So that was what it was, he had entered into the Black Street because he had wanted to get to the school faster. The reason was same as mine.

I thought we had run into each other because of the fate. It turned out we were just two mates who happened to be late at the same time.

“You two are going to be punished! Don’t forget to clean the classroom after school!”

“Yes~”

“Yes…”

I answered Miss Zhen vigorously while Jun Cheng only uttered the word listlessly.

Cleaning was just a piece of cake~ Why was Jun Cheng looking so downhearted? It was not a big deal after all. He really was a useless boy!

In my view, we must always look ahead! We should look to the future, we should be broad-minded, we should…

“Go back to your seat, Li Nai! The class is about to start!”

“Ah, all right~” I didn’t even realize I was standing in a trance.

Jun Cheng had already gone back to his seat. Now he was talking to Ji Lianbing who sat behind him with a surprised look on his face as if he had seen a ghost.

Come on, had he completely forgotten about me the moment he had seen his girlfriend? He hadn’t even reminded me! At least we were still partners!

It seemed that it would still take some time for us to bond with each other. Now we obviously didn’t cooperate very well.

I went back to my seat. Having greeted the classmates beside me, I took out my textbook.

Then I looked to my left, which was also Jun Cheng’s seat.

Now he was making eye contacts with the girl who sat in front of him… named Jiang Xueqing? That short girl was always quiet.

Meanwhile, Ji Lianbing who sat behind him was staring him in a daze with obsessive look on her face.

Huh, that was so strange. Had Ji Lianbing used to be like this?

I just felt something had changed in her.

Anyway, she was a girl in love. No matter how much she had changed, I wouldn’t be surprised. Perhaps she was truly in love with Jun Cheng that she had become like this. I could also hear Lan Hua’s voice behind me. Zombies always had acute hearings, so I could hear her saying something like ‘Ho ho ho, I could finally meet Jun Cheng. Meeting him in person is so much better than… Bringing him home would be better…” Well, those words sounded like some criminal plans.

I never realized that Jun Cheng would be so popular. It was like he had opened a harem. Wow~ That was awesome. Little did I know that my partner Jun Cheng was a heartthrob.

I hadn’t noticed this before, given his extremely low sense of presence.

He had never come into my view, so I had paid no attention to him.

If he hadn’t joined the organization and become my partner, I might never have any contacts with him.

We were two totally different persons in the gender, species, characters and ways of thinking. In a word, we had nothing in common.

Nonetheless, maybe that was also the reason why I felt at ease when getting along with him.

I had felt pleasant taking with him on my way here.

Before, no one had ever complained about me even when I had acted like an idiot on purpose. Little Hook was also like a piece of wood who was so boring. However, Jun Cheng was such a funny guy. Perhaps because we were completely different that we could complement each other.

But now he seemed not to be available now.

Anyway, I still had lots of chances to talk with him, such as when we were on assignment or when we were in the Sixth Office… I would leave him to his girlfriends when we were at school. It would be so inappropriate for me to pick up a talk with them now. What if I caused some misunderstandings~ I loved to see them flirting with each other. That was what young boys and  girls should do~ All right! I should enjoy my own youth now!

Although I had already died. Ha ha.
