Luo Li

  At dusk, bus No. 418.

  The car was packed with people, mostly high school students returning to school, crowded and noisy.

  Beside the rear door, Ye Cai tightly grasped the bus handrail, her face wearing a cold indifference that only appeared when she was alone. From time to time, she furrowed her brow and glanced back, her expression full of worry.

  "Ah, Ye Cai..."

  Next to her was a bespectacled classmate who, squeezed by the situation, raised his head to give an apologetic glance, only to find it was an old acquaintance.

  Ye Cai gave him a light and indifferent glance, and nodded slightly.

  The boy with glasses paused for a moment, then forced a smile and nodded, awkwardly shifting his gaze elsewhere.

  For some reason, Ye Cai's eyes moved and she immediately pulled out a hand to pull her collar and pursed her lips, with a few points of panic flashing across her face.

  Arrival, Luoshui No. 2 Middle School, passengers in the car rushed out.

  He probably wanted to find some topics to chat with his fellow travelers, so Glasses walked out of the car and waited not far away.

  Yè Cǎi pretended not to see and walked straight towards the school gate amidst the gaze of others.

  The glasses boy hurriedly caught up with his footsteps, a hint of inexplicable expectant smile on his face, and stared at Ye Cai sideways without letting go.

  Ye Cai suddenly realized and said in a cold tone with a hoarse voice: "What are you looking at?"

  "Hey, why aren't you wearing your school uniform?"

  Ye Cai's voice was cold as she raised an eyebrow and asked back, "Why wear school uniforms?"

  Rubbing his nose, Yanzhen awkwardly asked: "Have you finished your homework?"

  Ye Cai Man carelessly shook her head.

  Wang Jie thought of finding a topic again, but saw Ye Cai stop and take out her phone. After thinking for a moment, she simply didn't wait any longer and left alone.

  Behind, Ye Cai saw that the other party had already walked far away, and she pouted, putting the phone she had taken out back into her pocket.

  ……

  At the entrance of the classroom, Ye Cai had her backpack on and was leaning against the railing with her back facing the door.

  It seems like she's admiring the view, but after a while, you can notice that from time to time, she secretly glances back and looks to her left.

  "Hmm..." She let out a stifled sigh, feeling extremely vexed.

  Rushed out the door, forgot to wear school uniform, but that's not important. What's important is that the school uniform was designed as a safe-standing collar shirt, while she, who has already returned to school, is wearing a round-neck T-shirt with a mysterious cleavage that can be easily seen when bending down.

  Now, I want to ask my head teacher for leave, but I feel conflicted. Just after returning to school, I need to ask for leave again. She herself thinks it's... too unreasonable.

  Before long, Class Teacher Bi emerged from the depths of the corridor with a big belly and swaying gait.

  Ye Cai hastily tidied up her clothes, cleared her throat, and walked over, looking up at the other person with a raised face, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  Teacher Bi stopped in his tracks, and a hint of a smile appeared in those two slits that were squeezed by fat.

  Ye Cai found it hard to speak, her head hung low in shame, silently following behind him.

  "Yè cǎi a yè cǎi...... cough, have you finished your homework?"

  Ye Caiyi hastily replied: "I've written it!"

  It was probably a faint awareness that made Ye Cai forget to squeeze his throat and speak in a slightly lighter tone, causing Bi Teacher to pause for a moment before nodding perfunctorily.

  Entering the classroom, Teacher Bi took out a stack of papers from under his armpit and then pulled out a glasses case from his breast pocket. He wiped the lenses clean with the water vapor he exhaled and put on his glasses. Sitting at the podium, he seriously began to grade papers while keeping an eye on the students.

  Ye Cai returned to her seat.

  Sitting there, at a loss.

  Turning back, I only saw the young girl with two homework assignments on her desk, writing diligently, her eyes buried in her bangs and never looking up, so focused.

  Ye Cai thought of saying to her, after you're done copying, lend it to me for a copy too.

  Hesitating, she couldn't speak up, no way, the relationship was too shallow, not good to take action, let alone she still had some goodwill towards him, and in her heart, she always adhered to a strange notion of "absolutely cannot lose face in front of her".

  It doesn't matter anyway, as usual, Ai Ziyou will bring his homework for me to copy.

  Thinking of Ai Ziyu, the brother who used to speak warmly and gently about loyalty and righteousness, has now become a big *niece, and it was all caused by myself. Looking back...

  Pfft——

  Cough cough, whatever, I'd better get this homework copied first, or else that bastard Old Bi will hit me on the head again.

  Thinking of this, Ye Cai straightened up and turned her head to take a look, but found that the familiar corner was empty.

  Whoa!

  He didn't come after all!?

  Wait, this can't be...

  Realizing the severity of the problem, Ye Cai couldn't help but think of a terrible situation that she didn't dare to imagine.

  No, no, no... I'm late...

  Yes! That's right! Absolutely late.

  Gulu...

  She cleared her throat and Ye Cai couldn't sit still anymore, looking around nervously with a face full of anxiety and restlessness.

  Yes, she was really worried that the big-breasted girl would be so heartbroken and cry so much that she might just lose herself in the process.

  Come on, you useless kid, hiding at home for such a trivial matter!

  She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth hard.

  Someone came over and looked at her with interest.

  She turned her head, only to see Luo Li, one of the ordinary friends she often played games with during holidays. She pursed her lips and barely calmed down, frowning impatiently and asking, "What's up?"

  "Hey, Caihua Ge, what's wrong with you? Your face looks terrible!" Luo Li said with a playful and mischievous expression.

  "Hmph... Adopted sister, ah." As soon as Ye Cai heard this title, her face immediately lit up with joy. She didn't have anything else, but she especially liked this nickname. Even if there was something unpleasant, as long as someone lowered their posture and shouted it out, it would definitely turn cloudy skies into clear ones.

  "Hey, is there really something going on? Tell your brother, and I'll settle any grudges in no time." Luo Li raised his chin and arched an eyebrow, looking extremely arrogant, as if everyone in the world was not his match.

  "Oh, stop bothering me, I haven't finished my homework yet." The other person's arrogant words instantly brought Ye Cai back to reality, and she returned to her worried expression.

  "Hey, come on, copy mine! Copy mine!" Lori's eyes lit up instantly, looking very pleased with herself.

  "Hmph!" Ye Cai turned her face away with a look of disdain.

  It's been half a day without any movement, and with a puzzled look, I turned around to find that Luo Li had vanished.

  Turning back, as if in thought, suddenly several homework assignments were thrown on the table, startling me, and turning my face to see Luo Li raising an eyebrow with a mischievous smile.

  "Easy does it..." Ye Cai said with a heavier tone, her eyes glinting fiercely. She then turned to glance at the podium, and upon finding that Teacher Bi didn't have any unusual reaction, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

  Opening up the extremely messy notebook, Ye Cai asked with a raised face: "Whose did you copy?"

  "Head of the class." Luo Li lowered his head and stared at Ye Cai with a sly smile, raising an eyebrow.

  "Oh..." She nodded perfunctorily, took out her homework notebook from her bag, arranged them neatly, picked up her pen and began to copy the assignments with a focused mind.

  "What's going on at noon?" Luo Li leaned back on the desk of a cute girl sitting behind Ye Cai, constantly shaking her legs.

  "Huh?" replied absent-mindedly.

  No longer inverted, Luo Li slightly bent down, leaned in close to Ye Cai's ear, and with a flicker of her eyes, she was about to say...

  His attention shifted involuntarily and he asked in surprise: "You...?"

  "What's wrong?" Ye Cai turned her head and raised her face.

  "Mmm... nothing..." Luo Liqiang smiled and shook his head, falling into a silence.

  "It's inexplicable." Ye Cai gave him a white eye and continued to bury his head in copying homework.

  Luoluo returned to his usual careless demeanor, continuing to lean against the desk of Mengmei, swinging his right leg, with his hands in his pockets, staring intently at Ye Cai's small white ears that had a few strands of hair tied up, looking slightly silly.

  "Ah..."

  Someone poked his spine with a pen.

  "Huh?" She turned around in a daze, but saw the cute girl frowning, her red lips opening and closing as if she wanted to say something.

  "What's wrong?" became serious.

  "Nothing..." The cute girl was stunned for a moment, then let out a helpless sigh and shook her head.

  "Hehe......" Lorick didn't think so, leaving a raised eyebrow with an evil smile, just turned his head and became extraordinary, started to fantasize with relish, thinking while kicking his right leg, almost died of beauty.

  "Ugh!" The cute girl couldn't help it, she had to put down her pen, her whole body shaking in sync with the desk, her face raised in a mixture of frustration and entanglement, staring at the back that was also shaking uncontrollably, letting out a helpless sigh.

  Luoluo didn't know the troubles of the beauty behind him, and with nothing better to do, he turned his head to glance at Ye Cai's little nape, and unexpectedly found it extremely pleasing to the eye, truly making one wonder.

  "What's this you've written?" Ye Cai turned her head and raised her face, asking with a look of distress.

  "Huh? Where? Let me see." As soon as the situation changed, Luoli hurriedly put on a serious face and bent down to take a look.

  "What's wrong with you? Are you dead or what? Can't even recognize you anymore." Ye Cai said, not mentioning how entangled he was.

  "Hmm—" Luo Li furrowed his brow in deep thought, slightly lowered his head, and said to Ye Cai with a serious expression: "I also can't recognize it."

  "You wrote it yourself." Ye Cai's face was filled with incredulity, her young heart almost collapsing.

  "Huh, why deceive you?" Luo Li straightened up and explained with an innocent face: "The final explanation rights belong to the head of the class, we are just laborers."

  "Good grief, useless thing......" Ye Cai felt disappointed and disheartened, hanging his head in despair.

  Luoli thought to stifle a smile, but couldn't help sneaking a peek at what this "useful thing" was going to do about it. She bent down and took a surreptitious glance, only to discover that Yecai was actually copying her movements exactly, leaving Luoli speechless.

  Muttering softly, slowly withdrawing his gaze, then, unintentionally, his line of sight was firmly locked in place and couldn't be moved again.

  Collar, oh collar, the light can't penetrate and fills the dark space. Looking at that somewhat blurry pair of tender things, are they real or fake?
