Original title: The Extra Doesn't Want to Talk
What the homeroom teacher thinks of Tai Wuyu: He never talks. He's practically going mute. So all the talkative students in class are seated around Tai Wuyu.
What his classmates think of Tai Wuyu: Aloof and quiet. So the classmate behind him chatters away nonstop, while students with questions go out of their way to ask Tai Wuyu's deskmate instead.
What his deskmate thinks of Tai Wuyu: That close-cropped head looks so good on him. His head is such a nice shape...

Every school story has a male supporting character whom everyone except the female lead feels sorry for. As it happens, Tai Wuyu discovers that he's just such a character... except he's the guy's deskmate.
Watching the male supporting character, who was supposed to lose the use of his legs because he fell for the female lead, awaken his mind-reading ability and then do everything he can to stay far away from her, Tai Wuyu feels relieved...
Except...
[Haven't seen you in a week. Number Two seems to miss you a little] Picture: A Pekingese lies listlessly on the ground.
He looks at the message from the male supporting character, puzzled. Since when did they get so close?

Before he had a deskmate, on rainy days:
Tai Wuyu: I forgot my umbrella. Whatever, I'll just walk home in the rain.
After he got a deskmate, on rainy days:
Tai Wuyu: I forgot my umbrella. Whatever, Deskmate, give me a ride. I'm staying at your place tonight.

Classmate: Tai, my birthday's next weekend. Can you come...
Tai Wuyu: He nods and looks at his deskmate.
Deskmate, to the classmate: He says he'll come, and he'll bring a little present too.
Classmate: ...That nod conveyed all that?
Alternate universe, sweet romance.

Some words don't make sense. Improve next time.
