Monday morning was the usual flag-raising ceremony, Yu Rui was the Class President of Administration Class 3 and Teaching Class 10 as well as the Student Representative for the annual flag-raising speech.
For this reason, he could not be late, so he had to drop Yu Li off early at T Elementary School when there were not many students yet.
Yu Rui was very worried about leaving her waiting alone in front of the elementary school that had not yet opened. But time was limited, so after a while, he had to prepare to leave.
Xie Li, who had been sitting leaning on a bicycle parked under a tree, stood up, “I’ll stay here with her, you go first.”
Yu Rui looked back unexpectedly, “…you’ll be late.”
“Do you l see me afraid of being late? “Xie Li smiled.
Yu Rui hesitated.
“Go on, Class President, several thousand students are still waiting for you to go under the red flag and serve them chicken soup.”
Xie Li walked straight up to him and lifted him by the waist, pushing him up onto the seat of his bicycle.
Yu Rui frowned unconsciously as he came back to his senses.
He wasn’t used to being touched by people, but then again, Xie Li’s actions only seemed to urge him to leave, with good intentions, naturally. And he couldn’t blame the other man for violating the distance he was used to keeping with people for that.
Yu Rui brushed away the man’s hand that was still resting on the side of his waist pressing against the back of his bicycle as naturally as possible, “I know. Are you okay with this?”
“Yes.” Xie Li’s eyes deepened. He straightened up and dropped his arm back calmly. “Go.”
“…. thank you.”
There wasn’t much time left, so Yu Rui hurriedly said goodbye to Yu Li and left.
Only when he could no longer see Yu Rui’s back, did Xie Li withdraw his gaze with a certain intent.
He dropped his gaze.
Yu Li was standing on the steps, looking calmly in his direction.
Xie Li walked over and sat on the topmost of the three steps where the girl stood, his long legs went straight down to the ground under the steps.
It was very early and the stores behind him had not yet opened, so he didn’t have to worry about interfering with other people’s business by getting in the way.
Xie Li turned his head sideways, “Do you want to sleep for a while?”
Yu Li was surprised and shook her head.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
It seemed to her that Xie Li had become a little different after her brother left: his eyes were in a much lazier mood and he looked listless and uninterested.

“Aren’t there any other geezers to help him?”
“Geezers…” Yu Li shook her head and lowered it again, “Brother said Mom died when I was very young and he was the only person in the family. That man doesn’t count as a dad, he never cared about us. He is always drunk, always scolds brother, and often steals brother’s hard-earned money…because of him, brother has had a very hard time.”
Hearing Yu Li’s words, Xie Li closed his fist and lightly clenched them unconsciously. He remembered the faint red mark he saw on Yu Rui’s cheek last week.
Whereas before he thought it was the result of an argument between the Class President and his mysterious girlfriend, who was hiding in the shadows, but now he saw that it was more like the epitome of domestic violence.
Yu Rui…
Having desires for such a person is counterproductive.
Not only do you have to suffer the torment of desire in silence, but you also have to suffer the condemnation of your conscience. The latter thing he thought was long gone before he met Yu Rui.
Xie Li smiled to himself.
He turned his head and with his hand rubbed the girl’s head, “Ok, don’t be sad. In the future, Brother Xie Li will also be here and won’t let your brother work so hard, let alone let anyone bully him again. Not even that person.”
Yu Li looked up, full of hope, “Really?”
“Hm.” Xie Li thought for a moment, “Yu Rui bought you a cell phone?”
“Yes. Brother is afraid something will happen to me and I won’t be able to contact him.”
“Then I’ll give you my number, you can call me when something happens to him.”
“Thank you, Brother Xie Li!”
“Well, tell me more about him then.”
“Yes!”
Yu Rui, who was riding his bicycle at the time, did not know that his sister had already “exchanged” Xie Li’s phone number with stories of all his big and small likes and habits.
After the flag-raising ceremony, it was time to return to morning classes. When he entered the classroom, Yu Rui glanced at the table behind him: it was empty.
Xie Li had not yet arrived.
The smile on the teenager’s face as he talked to his classmates paused, but he quickly covered it up as he entered the classroom.
Starting this week, the class teacher, Tian Xueqian, is no longer personally in charge of the late morning study sessions but had students taking turns being on “duty” within the class committee that was set up last week. The class member on duty this week happens to be Yu Rui’s “acquaintance”, the girl who came from the same class as him, Pei An An.
Once all the students entered the classroom, Pei An An took the book that Tian Xueqian had arranged for the class monitor to record late arrivals and went to the classroom door.
Last week the positions had not changed and Yu Rui still had a table to himself. After thinking about it, he moved his seat from near the aisle to the window, below the window was the bicycle area, so if Xie Li came in, he would be able to see him first.
After waiting for almost twenty minutes, he finally saw Xie Li appear pushing his bicycle.
He wasn’t coming in a hurry.
Yu Rui, who had been anxious all morning because he was getting ready to do something bad, was so angry that he wanted to laugh, so he grabbed a small ball of prepared paper in the palm of his hand and waited until Xie Li was below the window, then he raised his hand and threw it…
Xie Li had just left his bike when a small paper ball hit him, then rolled to the ground and bounced a couple of times before coming to rest not far from his feet.
“….”
The uneasiness of not having slept well climbed up between his handsome eyebrows along with the lump in his slightly rippled throat, and Xie Li looked up in suppressed anger.
Then he met the handsome face of Class President Yu, who had a sunny smile but unkind eyes.
The hostility dissipated instantly and transformed into another kind of desire in Xie Li’s eyes. He stared at Yu Rui for two seconds and smiled, “Class President, it took you three years to start throwing objects from the top.”
“… !!”
Xie Li’s voice was not lowered or concealed at all, and although the sound of recitation in the classroom was quiet, there were those with keen hearing who vaguely noticed something and turned their heads to look towards the window.
Yu Rui had already instantly returned to his seat when Xie Li opened his mouth. So when the students in the class looked out, they could only see the Class President quietly reading something with great devotion.
Outside the building.
Seeing that Yu Rui had disappeared faster than a rabbit, Xie Li let out a slight sigh of regret. He bent down and picked up the small ball of paper that had fallen beside him, spreading it out.
[Enter through the back door.]
It was the familiar, beautiful, energetic handwriting.
Xie Li smiled, picked up his backpack, and headed for the front door of the building, pulling out his wallet as he went, folding the paper and placing it on the outermost part.
As he climbed the steps, Xie Li caught a glimpse of the boy’s figure reflected in the glass of the door.
The man inside shook off the weariness and boredom of the trip, and his eyes were drenched with a deep, insatiable arousal
I can’t even hide it. Most of the students noticed the movement and raised their heads curiously, but after noticing that it was Yu Rui, most of them returned to their gazes; the one who was up anyway was the big student, the one who was least likely to break the rules and norms in the whole school, so there was nothing to see.
Yu Rui did not stop until he reached the classroom door.
When Pei An An, who was standing by the door, heard the voice and turned to see that it was Yu Rui, she froze, “Class President?”
“The question you asked me last week, I found two new solutions and corresponding methods, and the steps for the second one are a little easier, come and see…”
With the open exercise book in Yu Rui’s hand, and with a pen held between his slender index and middle fingers, he pointed out the part of the question or jotted down key points from time to time.
Pei An An listened attentively after she froze, but Yu Rui had hidden intentions and was looking in the direction of the staircase diagonally opposite the classroom door as he talked about the problem.
When the second method was halfway, he finally saw Xie Li’s figure walking.
Yu Rui felt relieved.
He gestured to Xie Li and then lowered his eyes to concentrate on the problem, the points related to the solution were roughly explained by him.
The sound of Xie Li opening and closing the door was so soft that it was imperceptible above the chaotic sound of recitation.
He doesn’t mind being late for something like this, but Class President Yu, he’s been working hard… Xie Li smiled and looked in the direction of the front door and followed the gap of the last row to the innermost corner.
The last table in the row other than his is Qiao Shengyu, who is sitting in his seat laughing with his friends.
“…you also think Pei An An is interested in Brother Rui, don’t you? I noticed it when I was in Class 3.”
Xie Li stopped in his tracks. He passed behind Qiao Shengyu, not knowing whether his gaze was too cold or the air pressure was too low, Qiao Shengyu, who had just finished speaking, felt a chill on his neck, turned his head, and almost slipped off the chair to the floor out of fear.
“Xie… Brother Xie?”
Xie Li’s eyes looked at him gloomily before looking away.
Qiao Shengyu was one of the few students in the high school who knew of this man’s deeds, so he swallowed saliva and unconsciously glanced behind him.
Then he looked in the direction he had been looking in first.
At the classroom door, a handsome-looking boy and a quiet, charming girl stood side by side, discussing something with the same notebook.
The boy’s brow was smooth and calm, with a gentle little smile on his face. The girl, on the other hand, was so nervous that from time to time she would accidentally glance at the side profile of the boy’s face and then turn around in fright.
The more he looked, the lower the air pressure felt around him.
After a long period of stony silence, Qiao Shengyu felt that he had understood something. He turned around and squeezed out a smile with difficulty, “Brother Xie you…. do you also like Pei An An?”
