On summer nights, the sky full of stars and the sound of insects chirping.

The classrooms on the third and fourth floors of the building to the west were lit. The freshers in high school were receiving ideological and political education from their class teacher, as well as their personal life experiences and insights.

Knowing that the students are far from understanding those profound things at this age, they still put in 100% enthusiasm and sincerity. That is their responsibility as the country’s teachers.

“Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon like a shuttle. You can decide for yourself whether you want to spend three years studying or just hang out.”

Old Wei stood on the podium and looked down. What caught his eye were young and tender faces, who are in their youth and have a lot of time in front of them. At the same time, they lacked self-control and squandered a period of time inadvertently. When they look back again, nothing was left, and it will be too late to regret.

“Your class is not the first class I will teach, nor is it the last. I will teach you everything I have learned in my teaching career. As for how much knowledge you can turn into your own, it depends on whether your attitude is upright.”

Forty or fifty students raised their heads, whether they were serious, confused, disdainful, or contemptuous, all so pure, clearly displayed on their faces, without those apprehensions and depths after being contaminated by social trends.

Old Wei’s tone became stern, “If you want to have a good time and yet want to learn well at the same time, it’s whimsical!”

There were classmates biting each other’s ears in disapproval, and some were muttering to themselves, saying why not? There are people like that in our class. They don’t read or do questions, don’t listen carefully in class, and run out as soon as the bell rings, able to do better in exams than those who hold books all day long despite playing. It’s unfair.

Old Wei knocked his fingers on the top of the podium, “I know what some of you are thinking. Do you feel that you have classmates who don’t take notes in class, don’t revise in early self-study, and don’t see the other person doing questions, but their grades are very good?”

The students who had a lot to say in defense just now remained silent.

Old Wei’s eyes widened, and he spat out a mouthful of saliva, “If you think that, you are totally wrong!”

There were four seats in the middle, toward the front row. Huang Dan was the first one on the left, next to the aisle, on one side of the podium. Facing the podium were Jiang Long and Wu Fang, who received the most chalk dust and spittle. and couldn’t even lift their head. They wanted to stuff their upper bodies into their desk pockets.

Old Wei returned to his serious tone and said with his hands behind his back, “There are no real geniuses in this world, only idiots who don’t work hard. In your eyes, the so-called people who only know how to play every day and study well, don’t know how much effort they have put in secretly. What your eyes can see is very limited. Never lose your mind at any time. If you lose your mind, what’s the difference between you and an idiot?”

The girls were either covering their faces with their heads down on the desk. The boys were shameless and didn’t take it seriously at all.

“The method of learning is very important. If the method is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it will be wrong. The method is not a general thing. It is ever-changing. You have to explore and summarize it by yourself. If you copy other people’s methods, it will not suit you.”

Old Wei picked up his teacup and took a sip of strong tea to moisten his throat, “I say all this to tell you that the future has set to sail, and it is up to you to decide which direction the ship will sail, because you are the helmsman of your own ship.”

After finishing the two pages he had prepared, Old Wei let out a long breath. He looked at this student and that student. Each one had a look of longing and confusion.

The future, what does that look like? By then, when they have a job, they will have a lot of money. They can eat whatever they want and buy whatever they want. They will no longer have to deal with their parents for a long time just because of a pair of sneakers, a dress, or a box of tapes.

Grow up quickly. They will be free when they grow up.

This is what they think deep in their hearts. Except for Huang Dan, who came back from fourteen years later, he has already grown up and knows that when they grow up, they will not be free but will have more restrictions.

Just like what is written in the lyrics, when you grow up, you can only run, and you can no longer be as willful, lazy, shameless and cower as you were when you were young, because your mentality has changed, you want more, you are afraid of losing, and you can’t lose.

Huang Dan came back from the busy and complicated road and stood on this clean and clear path again. He found that there were many colorful flowers and green grass on the roadside. For him, this was a very precious experience.

Old Wei put the lid on the tea cup and said, “For the performance tomorrow afternoon, just relax and follow your usual training. It’s not important how many points you get on this military evaluation. What’s important is what you can learn from these seven days, only you know this.”

He waved his hand and said, “It’s getting late. Go back to the dormitory. Don’t play when you go back. If you want to cool down on such a hot day, you have to calm down.”

Everyone didn’t bother to appreciate the class teacher’s intentions, and they left the classroom one after another.

The light passed through the window and fell on the floor of the passageway carelessly. The boy standing there had his back to the light. He already had a sense of loneliness before he grew up.

When girls pass by, they would peek at Chen Yue. Most of them want to attract his attention and make him look at themselves. A few of them were out of curiosity, thinking that he was too reckless and a bad boy. How did he get into school? He doesn’t look like he’s rich from appearance.

Liu Feng pointed at Chen Yue’s face, “You said you had something to do tonight, and you just went out to have people beat you into a multicolored cat?”

Chen Yue tugged at the corner of his torn mouth, “Roll quickly, don’t block the way.”

“Who the hell am I in the way of?”

When Liu Feng turned around, he saw Huang Dan and Jiang Long behind him. He twisted his neck back and cursed, “Damn it, you’re not asking me to give way to them, are you?”

Chen Yue was quite impatient, “LaoZi is too lazy to talk nonsense with you. If you have anything to say, we’ll talk about it when we get back.”

Liu Feng snorted coldly and exhaled through his nose, “Talk my ass, you don’t even call me in a fight, bros don’t have to do it!”

When Huang Dan came over, Liu Feng just finished his conversation with Chen Yue and moved away cursing, making room for him. He stopped and looked sideways.

Chen Yue raised his chin arrogantly, “What are you looking at?”

Huang Dan was silent. It was the same situation back then. In the middle of the class teacher’s meeting, someone shouted a report at the back door. He never cared about people and things other than himself, so he didn’t look back to see who it was.

At that time, the class teacher had finished the class and Huang Dan came out of the classroom. He walked through the corridor unconcerned, without raising his eyelids and walking without stopping.

This time when he heard the voice shouting a report at the back door, Huang Dan knew it was Chen Yue. After all, compared to back then, he paid more attention to everyone, including Chen Yue.

As his attention increased, Huang Dan realized that his memory was not good. He ignored many fragments that he thought were meaningless and not worth paying attention to. Now that he has experienced it again, he can learn some interesting things from it.

Chen Yue cursed, “Damn it, still looking?”

Huang Dan still didn’t speak and had no expression either. It’s like an ice sculpture, which looks good, but too cold. He felt chilly just looking at it. He wanted to touch it but didn’t dare to touch it.

Chen Yue was panting and staring hard, “Don’t look!”

Huang Dan walked away.

Chen Yue loosened his clenched fists, and his tense body returned to its original state. He glanced at Jiang Long and said, “Master is gone, what are you doing as a little follower? It’s so dark in the corridor, and you’re not afraid of your master falling?”

Jiang Long was stunned by Chen Yue’s sarcastic remark, saying master and little follower, “Chen Yue, what you said is too much…..”

Chen Yue roared, “Beat it !”

Jiang Long trembled in fright. He looked around and found that there were still a few classmates who hadn’t left, and the class teacher hadn’t left either. He immediately became more courageous, “Huang Dan didn’t offend you, why are you angry at him?”

Chen Yue frowned, with a fierce look on his face, “It’s none of your business.”

Jiang Long stammered, “I, I, I… I just can’t bear to see you bullying my friend like this.”

Chen Yue smiled. His white teeth made him look super handsome, but also super scary, because there was no smile in his eyes, “Friend? The military training hasn’t ended yet, and you two have already become friends? You want to fight for your friends, well, what do you want to do?”

Jiang Long took a deep breath and said, “Tell me, what do I have to do so you don’t mess with Huang Dan?”

He has three hundred and fifty-six yuan and twenty mao as a gift money, which he has saved since he was a child. If it can be used to settle Chen Yue and allow him and Huang Dan to study hard, he is willing to take out all the money, because he can save it again when it is gone.

Chen Yue moved his eyes away from Jiang Long’s face. He squinted and saw a small firefly.That little light is too faint to be easily overlooked. Before one grows up, if they want to attract someone’s attention, they can only shamelessly fly in front of the other person, and if ignored, fly past until noticed.

Jiang Long saw that Chen Yue was silent and said, “I can give you money.”

“Money? LaoZi doesn’t care about it.”

Chen Yue smiled very happily, “Don’t think about it, it’s useless, LaoZi just wants to provoke him, and provoke to death.”

Jiang Long’s scalp was numb with fear, and he felt that Chen Yue looked like a devil. He took a step back and said frightenedly, “Chen Yue, you are sick, you are definitely sick.”

Chen Yue cursed at Jiang Long’s back, “You’re the one who’s fucking sick!”

The other students didn’t hear much of Chen Yue’s conversation with Jiang Long, and they knew that their relationship was not good, very bad. But it was normal to think about it. The top students and the bottom students can’t play together unless one of them is willing to compromise.

Old Wei was the last one to come out. He closed the classroom door and said, “Follow me to the office.”

Chen Yue tugged on the collar of his short sleeves shirt and gasped, “Oh.”

There were no other teachers in the office. As soon as Old Wei entered, he picked up the physics textbook and smashed it on his student’s head, “Why did your parents put so much effort into sending you to school? They hope that you will learn more in school and become a good student in the future. It’s better for you, the pillar of the country, to become a useful person. And you fought with others before school officially started, are you worthy of their good intentions?”

Although the force was not strong, the action itself had a certain insulting quality. Usually, Old Wei rarely uses it, and almost all of them are used to deal with students who play tricks.

Chen Yue said, “I was wrong.”

Old Wei seemed not to have expected that the student would admit his mistake so easily. His breath was stuck in his throat, and he felt uncomfortable. It took him a long time to calm down, “Where was it?”

Chen Yue, a man who did not suffer the immediate disadvantage, acted like he was self-reflecting, “When something happens, I should report it to the teacher as soon as possible.”

Old Wei asked, “What happened to you then?”

Chen Yue said, “It’s a long story.”

Old Wei picked up the textbook from the floor and threw it on his desk, staring at the students in front of him, “Then let’s make a long story short.”

Chen Yue lowered his head and said, “A student peed on my trouser leg.”

Old Wei’s facial muscles twitched, “That’s it?”

Chen Yue nodded and pointed to the pants on the left, “There is a part of it that is damp and stinks.”

Old Wei paced in front of the table, “Did the other party apologize to you?”

Chen Yue said no, and said very innocently, “I asked him to apologize, he told me to get out, and I reasoned with him. He called the people in the dormitory and blocked me in the toilet. They all came up to beat me. They were all cursing and swearing, why should I stand and let them beat me? Besides, it was him who was at fault, so I fought back.”

Old Wei didn’t know whether to believe it or not. This student, he’s with a lot of criminal records, had no other skills but was good at fighting, obviously a little leopard, but now he had shrunk all his sharp teeth and claws, and stood up with a harmless look on his face, “So, you’re still acting in self-defense?”

Chen Yue said seriously, “It’s necessary.”

Old Wei’s face twitched again, “Which class are they in?”

Chen Yue scratched his head and said that they also seemed to be from the same class, “Four or five of them hit me one by one. If I hadn’t escaped quickly, my head would have been knocked out on the wall. Teacher, they were the ones who made the move first, this is not my fault. If you don’t believe it, you can go and investigate. There were students from other classes present at the time, and I was the victim.”

Being bullied and acting in self-defense, with classmates testifying, it was probably premeditated, Old Wei asked, “Where are they?”

Chen Yue said he didn’t know, “I guess either in the dormitory or in the infirmary.”

Old Wei could imagine the miserable state of those people. He said with a straight face, “Give me a 500-word self-reflection report tomorrow morning!”

Chen Yue immediately raised his head, his eyes slightly opened, and he said with dissatisfaction, “Teacher, my pants were wetted and I was beaten also. Do I still have to write a self-reflection?”

Old Wei said, “Eight hundred.”

Chen Yue grinned, “Five hundred, right? No problem. I’ll go back and write now. Good night, teacher. See you tomorrow!”

“……”

Old Wei pulled up a chair and sat down. He didn’t even have a chance to knock a chestnut on it before the person was gone. He leaned on the back of the chair and tapped the table with his fingers. There was still communication work to be done in the first class.

When this problem student Chen Yue appeared on the list of freshers in high school, several class teachers didn’t want to take him. It didn’t matter if he had poor grades and couldn’t study. They were just afraid that he wouldn’t study well and would affect other people in the class. At such a young age, he had to act as rat shit.

Although there are problem students in every class, no one has as many problems as Chen Yue. He is a bad student and well-known gangster. However, he has particularly good skin, from head to toe, he is exactly the type that little girls like. If he throws this into the class, it will definitely be a disaster.

So several classes didn’t want him, and they even had to talk to the principal.

The principal dismissed them by saying, “Every student has the right to receive higher education.”

Since Old Wei had already grabbed the best students, this made several other classes envious. They thought that the worst students should also fall into his hands.

This reason left Old Wei speechless, so Chen Yue was assigned to Class 5 and became a part of this small group. He knew that he would never be able to calm down in the future. According to today’s development trend, he would need to prepare a few more bottles of headache medicine.

Chen Yue walked out of the office and saw Liu Feng waiting for him outside. He walked over slowly and said, “Five hundred words self-reflection report, you help me get it done.”

Liu Feng looked horrified, “Are you kidding me? I usually can’t even get up to 500 words for an essay. You want me to write a report for you? Are you crazy?!”

Chen Yue said as he walked, “Practice with me first. Sooner or later you will have to write.”

Liu Feng ，“……”

He shook his head and said no, “Don’t count on me, I can find someone to write it for you. By the way, Wei Linlin can do it. If you are worried that her handwriting will be recognized by her father, you can ask her to write one and you can copy it again.”

Chen Yue said, “She has many things to do, and I am too lazy to look for her.”

Liu Feng waved his hand, “This won’t work, that won’t work either. I think you should write it yourself. Just make up a few fixed sentences, saying that you are deeply aware of your mistakes and promise not to make them again, anything else doesn’t matter, the class teacher won’t read every word.”

Chen Yue asked him if he had any cigarettes.

Liu Feng said that he had finished smoking and couldn’t find a chance to buy it, “Let the class teacher know that it must be a review of more than a thousand words, else we will see our parents in the office.”

“I went to the dormitory of Class 1 and asked. You are so fucking awesome. You didn’t hit him in the face with your fists, but hit other parts of his body. He told me with snot and tears, saying that he was peeing at that time and you were the one who moved towards him.”

Chen Yue stuck out his tongue to lick the sweetness at the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing, which was a sign of his anger.

Liu Feng’s scalp tightened as he looked at it, “Why?”

Others didn’t know it, but he knew that this whole thing was caused by Chen Yue.

Liu Feng was not sure how those people offended Chen Yue. They didn’t know as well if he asked them. They said they had never crossed paths with him before doing anything in the toilet.

Thinking of something, Liu Feng said, “Chen Yue, it couldn’t have been that boy is the one who touched the person you like, right?”

Chen Yue sneered, “What rubbish, it’s just that his peeing posture is too awkward, putting me off by looking at.”

Liu Feng stumbled and almost fell over dog poop, “Fuck, is it that simple?”

Chen Yue squinted, “Isn’t this enough?”

Liu Feng opened his mouth for a long time before making a sound to say, “You’ve burned out your brain.”

Chen Yue said slowly, “It’s possible.”

Liu Feng stared at Chen Yue without even looking at the road. His big toe was kicked. It was so painful that he hugged his leg and howled.

Chen Yue looked disdainful, “Isn’t it just a toe kick, so exaggerated?”

Liu Feng said angrily, “Standing and talking doesn’t hurt your back, why don’t you give it a try?”

Chen Yue chuckled, “Only a fool would try.”

Liu Feng was so angry that his head was smoking. He shouted at the back of Chen Yue’s head, “Let’s see if you can still squeak when you write the 500-words report!”

Chen Yue’s face instantly became stinky.

How to write a 500-words report? He put his hand into his pocket and pinched the five-pointed star. His irritable mood became much calmer.

Huang Dan ate a packet of instant noodles before going to bed and drank cold water. He had a stomachache in the middle of the night and had to get up to go to the toilet.

The lights in the entire dormitory are controlled by the dormitory management, and the main switch is pulled as soon as the time is up.

At this point, everyone was asleep and the corridor was quiet. There was moonlight streaming in from the window, leaving a very faint trace.

Huang Dan walked forward, with only the sound of his own walking in his ears. He had also gone to the toilet at this time, and he felt a little scared.

However, after he enters the toilet, Chen Yue will appear.

The memory is refreshed, and once a certain location appears, the relevant fragments will be remembered by Huang Dan.

They were all things that were simply thrown away to be eaten away by time and not taken seriously.

Furthermore, even if he took it to heart, it has been fourteen years, not fourteen days, so it is normal to not be able to remember clearly.

Huang Dan stepped onto the cement pit with some faint light. As soon as he pulled down his pants and squatted down, a series of footsteps came from outside, getting closer and closer to the toilet.

There was a voice at the door, “You’re still distracted while you’re squatting there, so be careful if you step on the wrong foot and fall in to take a bath.”

Huang Dan knew from the voice that it was Chen Yue who was coming, so he ignored him.

Chen Yue stood on the pit opposite Huang Dan and peed, whistling non-stop.

Huang Dan was somewhat pissed off by him and said the same words as before, “Can you stop whistling?”

Chen Yue snorted roguely, “Did LaoZi’s whistling obstruct you?”

Huang Dan said, “You’re whistling, I can’t finish peeing.”

Chen Yue’s lips touched up and down, and laughter burst out from his throat, “You are sick and need to be cured.”

Huang Dan stopped talking to him.

Chen Yue went out after urinating. When he reached the door, he said mischievously, “You squat slowly, there are several classmates next to you to play with you.”

“……”

About ten minutes later, Huang Dan came out of the toilet fumigated. He looked at a corner and said, “Childish.”

Chen Yue was quite surprised, “How did you know I was here?”

Huang Dan said internally that it was because you were there back then. He didn’t give any response.

Chen Yue watched Huang Dan turn on the faucet and wash his hands without blinking.

Huang Dan suddenly said, “You didn’t go back to the dormitory, waiting for me?”

Chen Yue’s reaction was huge. He took a step back and retorted, “How, how is it possible!”

Huang Dan recalled that when this man confessed his love to him on the playground, he stuttered a bit and was nervous.

“Don’t get so fucking smug.”

Chen Yue stopped stuttering and said angrily, “LaoZi just wants to scare you. It’s best to scare you to tears, it’s fun just thinking about it.”

Huang Dan washed his hands and said, “Playing a ghost won’t scare me.”

Chen Yue bared his teeth and said, “So, are you very brave?”

Huang Dan said nothing more.

Chen Yue gritted his teeth behind him, “Damn it, you’re ignoring LaoZi again!”

Training continued as usual the next morning, and the instructor shouted at the top of his lungs, “Brace yourself everyone!”

From the first row to the last row in Class 5, the skin tone was at least two shades darker. Some girls were directly sunburned and their faces looked miserable.

They were about to be freed, and everyone was both happy and a little reluctant to let go. They experienced complex emotions.

A loud and uniform shout came from the other class, “One! Two! Three! Four!”

The instructor asked, “Did you hear that? You are better than them. Can you do it?”

The boys and girls replied feebly, “We can.”

The instructor’s eyes were wide open and his muscles were tense, like a soldier preparing to go to the battlefield, and in front of him were his soldiers, “Louder!”

That kind of passionate emotion infected everyone, and they unconsciously raised their heads and chests high, and a touch of determination appeared on their childish faces.

“We can!”

The instructor asked the boys in the last row who usually performed poorly to look at Huang Dan and said, “Whatever he does, you do. Are you clear?”

“Clear!”

The instructor walked to Chen Yue, who was on the far left in the last row, and asked, “Classmate, can you wear your military cap straight?”

Chen Yue said, “Report the instructor, I can’t. My head is crooked.”

Liu Feng, who had a low point of laughter, pfft out twice. The instructor glanced at him. Instead of suppressing his laughter immediately, he started running circles around the playground while laughing.

Damn it, is it my fault that my laughter point is low?

The instructor asked Chen Yue to come out, and then asked Huang Dan to come out, “Huang Dan, teach him how to wear a military cap.”

Huang Dan repeated his words and deeds from the past and said coldly, “Watch me wearing it.”

Under Chen Yue’s eyes, a person who only reached his shoulders was wearing a military cap, the cap was neat and beautiful. His eyes were half-squinted.

Huang Dan asked him to do it again.

Chen Yue casually took off his military cap and slapped it on his head.

Huang Dan said, “There will be a performance in the afternoon, and Class 5 will take first place this time.”

His tone was determined, because this had already happened, and he had come back from the future with an ability similar to precognition.

Chen Yue mistakenly thought that Huang Dan wanted to win the first place. He was stunned for a moment and then sneered, “What happens after winning first place? Will we gain two ounces of meat?”

Huang Dan said, “This is an honor.”

Chen Yue’s eyebrows and eyes under his military hat were full of disdain, “What is honor, LaoZi doesn’t understand.”

Huang Dan pulled the military cap off his head.

Chen Yue’s reaction was the same as before. He tensed his nerve endings like a frightened mouse, “What do you want to do?”

Huang Dan said, “Lower your head.”

Chen Yue followed the instructions stupidly.

Huang Dan stood on tiptoe to put the military cap on Chen Yue and explained to him how to put it on properly.

Chen Yue was so honest that he ran away in response. He took off his military cap in a deserted place, grabbed his sweaty forehead with his hands, and put the military cap back on.

This time Chen Yue wore it properly.

In the afternoon, the leaders of the whole school came over. Each class sat on the ground waiting to take the field. Their legs were sore but they did not dare to move. They were afraid that the leaders would find out and deduct points from the class.

When the sense of honor appeared, there was no fanfare. When it was discovered, it occupied a position in everyone’s heart.

Class 1 was the first to go up, and there were four or five boys among them who were obviously slower than the others when executing the instructor’s instructions.

The culprit, Chen Yue, wore his military hat brim low and seemed to be asleep. No one knew that he was looking at the back of a figure in the row in front of him in a daze.

Class 5 was the last one to play, and everyone performed better than during training. They all moved in unison, with their hands hanging tightly close to the seams of their trousers, and their upper bodies always straight.

The principal announced the results of the performance. The first place was Class 5. Everyone jumped up excitedly, with smiles on their tired faces.

Youth should be this beautiful.

At the end of the performance, each class will take a group photo with the instructor, for no other reason than to keep it as a souvenir and freeze this moment in the photo forever.

Huang Dan had received the photo in the future, but this time he felt the line of sight behind him.

He didn’t look back. If he looked back, he would definitely find that one man in the photo coming to life.

Chen Yue’s military cap was worn improperly and hung very casually on his head. In the shadow under the brim, handsomeness, disdain, and arrogance were all crushed and smashed into his face.

That’s what’s on the boy’s face, not what’s in his eyes. In his eyes, there’s focus, gentleness, determination, and a hint of cautious madness.

This scene was completely frozen at this moment, stored for fourteen years, and finally sent to Huang Dan one day, along with the English sentence behind the photo.

Huang Dan was thinking about something, “Mr. System, I haven’t found the person yet.”

System said, “Mr. Huang, I think all you have to do is wait, and what is supposed to come will eventually come.”

Huang Dan hummed, “I know.”

System said, “Mr. Huang, just follow your feelings. Other than that, you have no other choice.”

Huang Dan said, “That’s right.”

Every time he recognized the man before having any contact with him before, he always looked at his butt. The more contact he had with him, the more familiar he would feel.

System, “Is the mission going smoothly?”

Huang Dan said, “At the moment, I have only received a love letter, not the task publisher, and there will be many opportunities for detection later.”

System, “The task is not difficult. As long as you have enough patience, take it seriously and don’t miss it, there will be no surprises.”

Huang Dan said, “I only need to look at the heart-shaped ones.”

System said, “Just in case, it’s safer to read every letter. It takes a long time to prepare to write a love letter. You will check it over and over again and write it, but it doesn’t take long to read a love letter.”

Huang Dan said, “What you said makes sense.”

He asked, “Mr. System has written love letters to others?”

System went silent.

The military training was over, and every class rushed out of the school, scrambling to get into the bus and go home.

Liu Feng complained at the school gate, “It’s over. The bus is gone. It’s all your fault to walk so slow. If I didn’t know, I might have thought you were waiting for someone.”

Chen Yue put his hands in his pockets and said, “Go to the bus station, there must be one there.”

Liu Feng kicked a stone away and said, “We still have to walk to the station for ten or twenty minutes, Ai, Gege.”

Chen Yue said, “If you don’t want to walk, you can crawl or roll.”

“Did you have to talk like that? If you hadn’t been dilly dallying, would I have missed the bus?”

Liu Feng tugged on Chen Yue’s schoolbag, “By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, how did you get that self-reflection report of yours?”

Chen Yue said, “It was written blindly.”

Liu Feng thought it was unusual for him to be able to write five hundred words by blind writing. In junior high school, others wrote for him, “What did the class teacher say?”

Chen Yue picked his ears and said, “Tell me to be among the top ten in this exam.”

Liu Feng looked horrified, “How is that possible? When did you not have been firmly in first place?”

Chen Yue kicked him, “Will you die if you don’t speak out?”

“I’ll!”

Liu Feng shook his shoulders. His face was originally dark, but after being exposed to military training, it turned into black coal. His teeth, which were not very white, looked much whiter.

Just as Chen Yue was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of the two people coming out of the school gate.

Huang Dan and Jiang Long walked together. Jiang Long said that he could rub the mud off his body when he got home. He also said that his parents would not recognize him and talked a lot.

Jiang Long was riding in his family’s car. He held the door open and waved to Huang Dan, “Don’t study when you go back. There will be no problem in the exam!”

This was also said to himself, with nervousness and anxiety written all over his face.

Huang Dan didn’t wait for a few minutes before Song Min’s car arrived.

Liu Feng sighed, “A rich person!”

The next moment he opened his eyes wide and watched the man in the car get out of the car and stand at the car door to open the door for Huang Dan. His posture and expression were absolutely amazing.

The car sped away, leaving behind a trail of exhaust fumes. Liu Feng wiped his face and said, “Hey, you didn’t say anything at this point?”

Chen Yue strode forward, looking uninterested, “If we don’t go, there may not be a bus at the station.”

Liu Feng quickly followed him, “Is that called a Western gentleman then? I think that man looks like a foreigner, with deep eye sockets, but his eyeballs are black……”

Chen Yue was in a bad mood, “Can you fucking stop speaking?”

Liu Feng was yelled at inexplicably, “Are you on periods?”

Chen Yue smiled superficially and said, “Yeah, it came, do you want to take a look?”

Liu Feng kept shaking his head. It’s not normal. It’s too abnormal. And still denying about liking any girl. Let’s see how long you can hide it!

Two days later, Huang Dan returned to school. Song Min sent him there. When he arrived outside the school gate, Song Min said, “Master, don’t live on campus next week. I have found a suitable house for you near the school.”

Huang Dan’s eyebrows moved, and he realized that he had remembered it wrong. He moved out after living in the dormitory for half a month. It was not his order, but Song Min’s wish.

After a pause, Huang Dan said, “Okay.”

The car was quiet for a while, and Song Min turned sideways and unbuckled Huang Dan’s seat belt, “Master, if you encounter something in school that you can’t solve, you can call me.”

Huang Dan said, “I know.”

The housekeeper has always played the role of his parents, attending parent-teacher meetings, taking him to school, teaching him in his study, work, and life, and being his teacher.

It could be said that he was the most important person in Huang Dan’s life. He had been with him for decades and took care of him for decades.

Huang Dan glanced at Song Min. There was not much change between him fourteen years ago and fourteen years later. There was no deep mark on his face.

Time was surprisingly gentle to him.

Song Min opened the car door and got out of the car, walked to the other side and opened the door for Huang Dan.

A tall figure came out of the bookstore on the left. It was Chen Yue. He was carrying a black schoolbag on one shoulder, and the earphone cord was hanging on his chest. He suddenly stopped after walking a few steps, raised his hand and pulled the earphones on both sides of his ears.

Wei Linlin was walking while reading a box of tapes she had just bought. When she walked to the front, she found that Chen Yue hadn’t followed and turned back, “Why did you stop, ah?”

As the words fell, Wei Linlin looked along Chen Yue’s line of sight and couldn’t help but exclaimed, “Isn’t that the genius of your class, Huang Dan?”

Chen Yue was still where he was, not moving. He took out the Walkman in his pocket and started tinkering with it, as if he had encountered some problem.

Wei Linlin walked up to him and asked, “What’s wrong? Is the tape jammed?”

Chen Yue said no idea.

“I listened to it in the book store and it was fine. It’s probably not a big problem. Don’t fix it. Go back to the dormitory and check again.”

Wei Linlin clicked her tongue, “I think God is really partial. The genius in your class studies incredibly well, is prettier than the girls, and has a better family background, just like a princess living in a fairy tale. Does he want anyone else to live?”

She walked slowly at the boy’s side next to her, “I’m talking to you, why don’t you make a sound, ah?”

Chen Yue rubbed the switch of the Walkman, “Princess.”

Wei Linlin thought that Chen Yue had called her princess, and her face became slightly hot. She muttered in a low voice, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Chen Yue’s three souls and six spirits were all floating outside, “What did you say?”

“Nothing!”

Wei Linlin rolled her eyes angrily, and looked over there again, with curiosity on her face, “The man standing next to Huang Dan is very tall and straight, with deep and three-dimensional facial features. He looks like a big celebrity, but his facial expression is very serious, not very talkative.”

“The hair around his ears is a lot whiter but looks quite young. Is he Huang Dan’s father? But they look nothing alike, and it feels a bit weird.”

Chen Yue subsequently turned on and off the Walkman, “Why do you care about other people’s affairs?”

“Just curious.”

Wei Linlin shouted, “Chen Yue, look quickly. That man is bending down to arrange Huang Dan’s school uniform. Is it like a servant to his master……Why are you leaving so fast? Wait for me!”

Huang Dan looked when he heard the shouting and saw Chen Yue walking to the school gate, followed by a tall and thin girl with a ponytail. He recognized the girl as the daughter of the class teacher. She was transferred to Class 5 in the second year of high school and became one of his deskmates.

Song Min looked over, “Are they young master’s classmates?”

Huang Dan, “Mmm.”

Song Min fiddled with the strap of his schoolbag, “Young Master’s classmates are very lively.”

Huang Dan said, “A little bit.”

Song Min said, “I hope the young master can have a happy life in the next three years of high school.”

Huang Dan didn’t say anything.

Wei Linlin followed Chen Yue for a while, and when she was about to reach the boys’ dormitory, she stopped talking, “Chen Yue, you…… do you have someone you like?”

Chen Yue’s figure suddenly froze. Was it so obvious that anyone who was not blind could see it?

Wei Linlin is a girl with a delicate mind. She easily caught it, “Who is that person?”

Chen Yue’s smile was constipated, “Who what?”

Wei Linlin rolled her eyes at Chen Yue, “Stop pretending, I’ve seen it all. It’s not shameful to like someone. Why hide it so deeply? I guess she’s in the first year of high school, right?”

Chen Yue sneered, “How could I possibly like anyone? I won’t do such stupid and time-wasting things.”

Wei Linlin raised her head and looked directly into his eyes, “Do you dare to swear?”

Chen Yue turned around and walked forward. He didn’t dare and was too scared.

Wei Linlin trotted to catch up, “Chen Yue, if you like someone, you must tell her. If you don’t tell her, she won’t know. Even if she senses something, she won’t open up.” Girls are all shy and hope boys will take the initiative, she added quietly in her heart.

Chen Yue didn’t say a word, his steps didn’t stop, and the steps were big.

Wei Linlin grabbed his arm and gasped, “If you are afraid of being rejected, you can probe first.”

Without waiting for Chen Yue to say anything, Wei Linlin continued, “Buy her food, give her small gifts, write love letters and ask people to deliver them to her, or secretly stuff them into her desk pocket, and she will know about your thoughts.”

Chen Yue finally spoke. He was at a loss, like a child who had just learned to walk, stumbling and not knowing what to do. “It’s useless. I checked. When he was in junior high school, many people used these tricks. He didn’t like anyone, he didn’t pay attention to anything, and he didn’t take anything seriously, and he didn’t even look at it. It’s too difficult to attract his attention.”

( In Mandarin pinyin for he /他 / tā and she/她/tā  is same )

“Were there many people in junior high school? No, I……”

Wei Linlin’s words stopped suddenly. She seemed to understand something belatedly. She stepped on Chen Yue’s shoe in anger and ran away without looking back.

Chen Yue cursed in pain, “Crazy.”

He flexed his foot, turned a corner and entered the shop, “Boss, do you have Hearttex?”

The shop owner said that the brand hadn’t arrived yet, “There are others.”

Chen Yue casually plucked at the snacks placed in front of the counter and bought nothing, “I don’t want anything else, I just want to have a Hearttex.”

The boss smiled and said, “The quality of that brand of wipes is very good, but the others are also……”

Chen Yue interrupted him, “I just want Heartex.”

The boss was a little helpless to this particularly insistent student, “It’ll be there tomorrow.”

Chen Yue frowned, tomorrow? He still had three packs on him, which should be enough, “Bring me a pack of toilet paper.”

The boss gave him a packet of toilet paper and said, “Two and half yuan.”

Chen Yue dug around in his pocket and accidentally dropped the five-pointed star on the ground. He quickly squatted on the ground to pick it up and carefully patted the dust off.

The boss looked over and saw that Chen Yue had put the five-pointed star back in his pocket, carrying it with him like a treasure.

After the second period of self-study in the evening, when Huang Dan came back from going to the toilet, he was unlucky enough to be hit in the face by a girl. He did exactly the same thing as before, pushed the girl away, covered his mouth that was hit by the girl’s head and turned around to leave.

Chen Yue followed all the way and found a corner with a guilty conscience. He first looked left and right to make sure no one was there, then he took out a packet of Hearttex wipes from his pocket. He raised his hand skillfully and threw it, and the Hearttex fell accurately on the side of the youngster’s feet.

Seeing the youngster picking up the Hearttex, Chen Yue turned around and ran away. After running far away, he stopped and leaned against the wall to catch his breath, grinning silently.
