Give Me Another Smile (GL) Chapter 36 - I Am the Only One She Has

The sound of leather shoes tapping against the ground could be heard all over the campus as students made their way out of the school.

Yin Zhao-an's heart felt empty as she looked at the nearly-deserted classroom before her. She felt as if someone was wantonly kneading and squeezing her heart, and she couldn't help but get the urge to cry.

With a dazed expression, Yin Zhao-an walked into the classroom. The students on duty had already tidied up the classroom, so every desk and chair were neatly arranged.

But then, all of a sudden, the long and thin shadow gained a companion.

Yin Zhao-an lifted her head in joy, calling out, "Tang—"

Mixed feelings filled Zhao Yu's heart when he saw Yin Zhao-an's depressed expression.

"Oh, it's you." Yin Zhao-an's joy instantly turned into disappointment. Then, she walked past Zhao Yu and continued her way home.

"Tang Yu has a new friend."
