Yue's mind remained in a haze as he navigated through the afternoon classes. The events of the morning, the unexpected note, and the shared snacks lingered in his thoughts, casting a subtle distraction over his usually focused mind.
Seated in the classroom, he couldn't help but glance occasionally in Alexander's direction. The guy was effortlessly engrossed in the lecture, seemingly undisturbed by the whirlwind of thoughts that clouded Yue's own mind.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Yue leaned towards Alexander and muttered, "How did you know I'm in this class?"
Alexander turned, his eyes lighting up with mischief. "Ah, a man of mystery, aren't we? Well, let's just say I have my ways. A little birdie told me, or maybe I have a sixth sense for finding interesting company."
Yue's stoic expression remained, but the corner of his mouth twitched, betraying a hint of amusement. He found himself in uncharted territory, grappling with the unfamiliar sensation of camaraderie, no matter how reluctant.
The class continued, and Alexander continued to punctuate the lecture with whispered comments and playful nudges, determined to chip away at Yue's walls. Others in the class stole glances at the intriguing duo, speculating about the enigmatic Yue and the seemingly irrepressible Alexander.
During a break, Alexander leaned back in his chair, grinning at Yue. "You know, Yue, life is too short to be this serious all the time. We're stuck in the same class; might as well make it interesting."
Yue raised an eyebrow, a rare sign of acknowledgment. "Interesting is subjective."
Alexander chuckled, undeterred by Yue's cool response. "Fair enough. But hey, who knows? Maybe we'll find some common ground amidst all this academia. Partners in crime, perhaps?"
Yue's eyes flickered, a subtle acknowledgment of the unexpected alliance that was slowly taking root. The notion of finding common ground with someone like Alexander seemed improbable, yet there was an undeniable intrigue in the challenge.
As the day unfolded, Yue found himself more engaged in the banter and antics of his persistent classmate than in the lecture itself. The Frosty Alliance, born out of unlikely circumstances, faced the challenge of adapting to the uncharted terrain of friendship.
The classmates around them watched the unfolding dynamic with both amusement and curiosity, wondering how the enigmatic Yue and the exuberant Alexander would navigate the complexities of their newfound connection.
