Huang Mao sneered. For someone like him, a "delinquent" who was only interested in fighting, chasing girls, and playing games, there was nothing else that could catch his interest. However, for some unknown reason, whenever he heard Lin Yu's crying, he inexplicably felt compelled to go and see him.
After Huang Mao left, Jiang Yu grabbed the suitcase and stopped Lin Yu. After listening to his tearful explanation, he finally learned that it was Su Yi's joke that went a little too far. After all, Lin Yu had only been at the school for a few days. This innocent and lively little boy, who also looked good, was indeed easy to like. But liking someone doesn't mean love, especially since he knew Su Yi. She has always been a bit promiscuous, superficially attractive but morally bankrupt.
But no matter what, he himself had also instigated the joke. Originally, Su Yi and he had agreed to just play around casually, but Lin Yu took it seriously.
"Su Yi... Su Yi was just teasing you, Xiaoyu, don't cry. I'll deal with him when he comes back. Stop making a scene and put your things back quickly." Jiang Yu wasn't good at comforting people, so she could only grab a pack of tissues from the table and place it in front of him.
"Are you teasing me? Who would tease like this, using my first kiss and my studies to tease me? I admit... I went a bit too far this time, but it's all his fault too. If he didn't play tricks on me, I wouldn't have thought of messing with him..." Lin Yu turned her head, desperately wiping her cheeks with a tissue, her face turning slightly red.
This time, it was Jiang Yu who was left speechless.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. After Su Yi left the student council, he took a stroll around the playground. On summer nights, both boys and girls liked to walk around the playground in groups.
As soon as Jiang Yu saw Su Yi coming in, he brushed against his shoulder and pulled him back outside. He lowered his voice and said, "Su Yi, your game can stop here. Lin Yu is not someone who can be played with, and besides... she gave you her first kiss. It's time to stop."
"Now, it seems like I'm really moved." Su Yi looked at Lin Yu, who was still sobbing inside the door, with a complex expression and let out a long sigh.
Su Yi, what are you joking about? He has only been here for a few days. What can he possibly do in just a few days to make you fall for him? Are you acting for real or have you taken the wrong medicine?
"I wasn't joking."
Su Yi glanced at him and immediately walked in. He squatted in front of Lin Yu, but it seemed like he didn't want to see himself, and turned his face away.
"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry."
Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. Was Su Yi apologizing to herself? The sincerity in his words and his demeanor were so different from his sharp-tongued and abrasive attitude just a moment ago.
Lin Yu took a glance at Su Yi's serious expression and sniffled, forgiving him without considering their past grievances.
"No problem."
Su Yi tentatively reached out to help him up, but Lin Yu stubbornly stood up on his own, then shamelessly began to rearrange the messy items in the suitcase.
Jiang Yu, standing outside the door, watched the chaos unfold. If Su Yi was serious about pursuing Lin Yu, it wouldn't be an easy task to "turn" this straight guy. It's possible that both parties might end up getting hurt.
The originally cheerful atmosphere in the dormitory turned back to how it was before Lin Yu joined. The three of them were each doing their own thing, with only Jiang Yu occasionally exchanging a few words, followed by the sound of rapid typing on the keyboard.
After Lin Yu finished washing up, she climbed onto the bed and turned her back to Su Yi. The two of them remained in the same posture, each with their own thoughts.
Lin Yu didn't know when she fell asleep. All she knew was that the next morning, Su Yi shook her bed a few times and called out a few times, and when she sat up, he had already left the dormitory with Jiang Yu.
After a big fight with Su Yi yesterday, my own mood also became gloomy. I never felt this way before. Suddenly, I started to miss the smirk at the corner of Su Yi's mouth.
Gao Yuan was already standing in front of the dormitory door, waiting for him. Even though Lin Yu allowed him to come in, after all, he had been "warned" by Su Yi. It wasn't particularly hot early in the morning, but Gao Yuan insisted on standing at the door until Lin Yu finished tidying up and came out with the key. Then he quietly asked him, "What happened yesterday in the end? You weren't discovered, right?"
Of course, I was discovered, but it's fine.
Gao Yuan's chin was about to hit the ground as he looked at him in astonishment and said, "No way... Such a big deal, and Su Yi didn't pursue it? I stayed up all night last night, afraid that he would find out and report it to the school leader, who would then punish me... In the future, please, please don't involve me in this matter. I have no power or influence at home and can't afford to get into trouble."
"Sorry, Gao Yuan. I lost my cool yesterday. It won't happen again."
"How are you getting along with him now?"
"Just like that."
Lin Yu furrowed her brow and quickened her pace towards the formation, feeling suffocated in her heart at the thought of last night's silence.
The torturous morning training darkened their complexions by another shade. During break time, the instructors made the two squads sit facing each other and sing songs. Gao Yuan amplified the volume by Lin Yu's side, leading the entire squad of male comrades to challenge the boys across from them: "Seventh-Fifth squad, come on! Seventh-Fifth squad, come on! If we tell you to sing, you sing! Acting all coy and girly, you're just like a big sister!"
While everyone else was having a great time, Lin Yu sat on the side, lost in thought with all sorts of random things in his mind. It wasn't until Gao Yuan kept pushing him that he suddenly raised his head and noticed that everyone's gaze was focused on him, hotter than the scorching sun overhead.
"What... What's wrong?"
At this moment, while lost in thought, Gao Yuan chuckled with delight and said, "You're daydreaming at a time like this? The girl sitting across is staring at you and wants you to sing!"
Lin Yu looked up and saw a somewhat attractive girl staring at him. She was standing in the middle of their group, her cheeks flushed bright red.
A duet? How can that work? Although I'm not tone-deaf, it would be too embarrassing to do it in front of so many people... And to make matters worse, the person opposite me is a girl. It would be so embarrassing.
"I'm not good at singing, so let's not do it..." A drop of sweat rolled down Lin Yu's face.
"What are you afraid of!" Gao Yuan and the other boys exclaimed together, pulling him up and facing the girls on the opposite side from a distance.
Su Yi finished class and unconsciously walked towards the playground, only to witness this embarrassing scene. Lin Yu, drenched in sweat, stood in the center while the surrounding classmates cheered on. Unexpectedly, a girl took the initiative and stepped forward, standing in front of Lin Yu, saying, "Why not sing a song?"
Su Yi's heart sank in an instant. He quickened his pace and interrupted their conversation before Lin Yu could speak.
Tutor, I'm sorry. It seems like Lin Yu has caught a cold these past few days, so it's better not to let him sing since his throat doesn't feel great.
"Ah? What a disappointment..." All the students deflated like punctured balloons and suddenly lost their vitality, becoming limp and lifeless.
