Instead of clarifying the misunderstanding, the confrontation in PE class reconfirmed the rumor that Xie Li and Yu Rui were at odds over Pei An An.
As a direct result, Yu Rui received a warning in the last self-study period of the day: his class teacher, Tian Xueqian, asked him to go to his office.
Yu Rui frowned and looked at the time.
Since the beginning of the term, Yu Li had been placed in a “small desk” tutorial next to T Primary School. These classes offer younger students a place to dine and study in the evening and are supervised by a teacher.
Yu Rui finished his last self-study session just in time to pick up Yu Li. If he’s too late…
After a moment’s thought, Yu Rui decided to first go see the teacher and explain the situation, then hopefully talk about anything tomorrow.
However, when he arrived at the office, Yu Rui discovered that Tian Xueqian was not there. He stopped the student from walking out the door, ” Classmate, have you seen Professor Tian?”
The boy shook his head, “Professor Tian is not here. The teachers of the sophomore classes are having an emergency meeting, so I guess he’s not finished yet, but he should be back soon.”
After saying this, the student left.
Yu Rui was in a dilemma.
The teacher had already informed him to look for him, so it was not appropriate to send a message or leave a note. But on Yu Li’s side, the “small desks” were scheduled to finish at a certain time and there was no staff at all, so there was no one to pick up even if he called.
A name suddenly came to Yu Rui’s mind.
It was accompanied by that person’s mischievous look and the provocative words he said during PE class during the day.
Yu Rui: “….”
I didn’t want to ask this person for help. But for the moment, it was true that he was the only one who could help him.
After pondering for a moment, Yu Rui took out his cell phone, dialed Xie Li’s number, hesitated for a few seconds, then finally pressed the call.
It rang for about twenty seconds, and just as Yu Rui was about to hang up, the cell phone buzzed and vibrated.
The call was answered.
The man’s lazy voice jumped out of the speaker and shook the air around Yu Rui directly.
The tone was lazy and impatient.
“Who?”
Xie Li’s cold, impassive voice was something Yu Rui was unfamiliar with. What he was more familiar with were the provocations, taunts, and jokes of…
As a result, there was a pause of a few seconds, and Yu Rui didn’t even respond in the first place.
The person on the other end of the line clicked softly, voice suppressed by dismay. Then the owner seems to remember the cell phone screen at the moment and goes to check it.
There was a few seconds of silence.
“Class… President.”
Probably similar to someone who just woke up upon hearing that he had won five million, between the two brief words from the opposite side, the tone of voice seemed to rise from a hoarse languid laziness to overflowing pleasure, even up to a perversely strong excitement.
Yu Rui’s eyebrows furrowed.
He thought that this sick man must not remember how he had provoked him during the day. Yu Rui asked quietly, “Do you have time now?”
“Well, what’s up?”
“Professor Tian wants to talk to me and I can’t pick up Little Pear in time. If it’s convenient for you, can you pick her up for me?”
“Class President, that tone of voice is too cold, not a pleading attitude.”
“… Forget it if it’s inconvenient.”

“… What?”
“My name. The tone…” Xie Li laughed foolishly, “…must be full of emotions.”
“….”
“Don’t take too long, or Little Pear will have to wait a long time.”
“……”
“Class President?”
“Xie…” Yu Rui tilted his head, the teenager unconsciously pressed his fingers in the reflection of the glass, “Xie… Xie Li.”
Absolute silence on the other side.
Yu Rui also didn’t know why it became such a difficult request to initiate, it was just saying Xie Li’s name.
When he finished, his heart was filled with a rare emotion of embarrassment. Yu Rui lowered his voice, “That’s it!”
“Tsk ….” The voice was muffled for some reason, and Xie Li chuckled under his breath, “Sure. There… it is.”
It almost made him want to hear more.
He had no hope when it came to Yu Rui.
Xie Li, who was leaning back on the sofa on the upper floor of the cyber cafe, lowered his gaze, then held his forehead and smiled, “I’m on my way.”
There was a click and the call ended.
Yu Rui tightened his grip on his cell phone unconsciously.
…. He felt that something must not be right between him and Xie Li. But he couldn’t tell, the feeling that something wasn’t right wasn’t clear enough.
Because Xie Li seemed to be hiding or suppressing some emotion all the time.
Without waiting for Yu Rui to think clearly, a voice came from behind him.
“Yu Rui, I just finished a meeting, you can go to the office first.”
Yu Rui turned around, “Okay.”
Soon after, Tian Xueqian also entered the office after chatting with the other second-year teacher. He greeted with a smile, “Yu Rui, come, sit down.”
“No need, Professor Tian, I can stand.”
“That’s fine, there’s not much to say anyway. We’ll have a short talk.”
“Okay.”
Tian Xueqian did not rush to speak but first flipped through the pile of materials that seemed to have been handed out at the meeting in his hand.
He found a copy inside, pulled it out separately, and pushed it to his side of the table. Then he reached out and tapped it, “Look, this is the form for admission to the high school Student Council. They’re planning to recruit some sophomores, and participating in things like this is good for future interviews or resumes for independent entrance exams. I think you can give it a try.”
The smile on Yu Rui’s face remained the same, reaching out to take it and scrutinized it twice before nodding, “Thank you, Professor, I’ll try my best.”
“Of course. I’ve heard quite a few teachers talk about you since you weren’t my student, and now that you’re the delegate of my class, how can I not know you well?” Tian Xueqian paused at the end of his words, “But…”
Here it comes. Yu Rui said to himself.
Indeed, Tian Xueqian said, “Although the teacher is sure of you, you also know that there are some things that you cannot avoid by yourself with a firm mentality.”
Yu Rui did not play dumb, but spoke directly and asked, “Teacher, are you trying to talk about me and Pei An An’s companion?”.
Tian Xueqian shot him a surprised look, obviously surprised that he brought up the topic.
Yu Rui smiled, “Don’t be surprised, my conscience is clear. I can assure you that there is no relationship between me and classmate Pei An An that goes beyond that of mere classmates.”
“Then recently…”
“You are a teacher and have taught many classes, you should also be clear about gossip among students, three become a tiger and all mouths turn to gold. To some minor conflicts, just add a little oil and vinegar, deliberately mix it with some exaggerated information, and they can create false rumors.”
Tian Xueqian was silent for a few seconds, “So, what you’re saying is that this incident is completely false?”
“That’s right. I also want to find out who is causing conflict between Xie Li and me. My relationship with classmate Xie Li is quite…” Yu Rui gritted his teeth silently and smiled, “I’d say it’s pretty good.”
Tian Xueqian thought for a moment and nodded, “Since you said so, I will trust you. I’ll try to investigate this matter clearly, or I can eliminate it….. Anyway, It’s late, so you should go back first.”
“Okay, thank you, Professor. Have a rest soon.”
After waiting for Yu Rui to leave the office, the only other teacher left in the room smiled and turned his chair, “I told you it was you, Mr. Tian, who was thinking too much. Who would fall in love so early. Not even Yu Rui from your class.”
Tian Xueqian smiled bitterly, “Well, that’s not necessarily true.”
“What’s uncertain about that? You’re still a bit young, Mr. Tian. You’ll be able to see what these kids are like when they’re a few years older.”
“Is that so?” Tian Xueqian asked, “Then what else?”
“For example, this Yu Rui, he’s the kind of kid who knows what to do and is the most mature. He knows what he needs and when to do what they need to do, so the teachers don’t have to worry at all. That’s why I said he would never get involved in this early love thing.”
Tian Xueqian smiled bitterly, “Maybe.”
He looked up in the direction of the office door and added after a few seconds of silence, “But I always feel a little uneasy in my mind. After all, the more polite and understanding students are, the more likely they are to do something out of the ordinary, and that’s what I’m afraid is irreversible.”
“Haha. From what you say, Mr. Tian, would you say you could be more comfortable with Xie Li?”
“….”
Tian Xueqian choked and waved his hand, “That’s not a student! Don’t use it to piss me off!”
“Hahahahahaha…”
Yu Rui got on his bike and rode back home as fast as he could. Before going upstairs, he deliberately checked that the lights were on upstairs, which made Yu Rui feel relieved.
It wasn’t that he doubted Xie Li’s character, it was just that Xie Li had been too strange these past two days.
He went upstairs, took the key, and opened the door. As soon as he entered, he heard laughter coming from Yu Li’s bedroom.
He changed his shoes, put down his backpack, and walked over.
After pushing the door, Yu Rui saw Xie Li sitting in the same chair he usually sat in, holding a book on the bookshelf next to him, apparently telling Yu Li a story as he used to do.
Yu Rui’s heart fluttered for no reason.
Xie Li didn’t turn around when he heard the movement, but simply stood up, “Today’s trip has come to an end, Little Pear is going to bed early, huh?”
“Well, thank you, Brother Xie!”
“….”
Yu Rui and Xie Li walked out of the room side by side.
Yu Rui hesitated and gestured for Xie Li to go sit in his bedroom for a while, so as not to disturb Yu Li’s rest by talking in the living room.
Xie Li had no objection and headed to his room in front of the bathroom.
After entering, Yu Rui turned to close the door. Xie Li chuckled behind him, “Yu Li is almost 10 years old, right? You still have to tell her bedtime stories, have you always spoiled your sister so much?”
Yu Rui turned around, “My family’s situation is quite special, and Little Pear has suffered a lot together with me, so I want to spoil her a little.”
After saying that, Yu Rui reflected on his tone: Xie Li had just done him a favor, that’s why he was talking to him more politely, right?
“Telling stories, cooking, and taking care of the house…” Xie Li sat down at the table, his long legs lazily pulled together, then lowered his eyes and smiled, “Class President, has anyone ever said you look like a virtuous wife and mother?”
Yu Rui: “….”
He was just brainwashed into thinking he wasn’t polite enough.
But Xie Li didn’t mention it again, and after sitting for a while, he stood up, “I’m leaving.”
Yu Rui hesitated, but still kindly suggested himself, “It’s too late now, rest at my place.”
“…..”
Xie Li’s figure paused for a moment. A few seconds later, he cocked his head to the side and snorted, not at all calm: “Hey, Class President, do you know what kind of invitation you just made?”
Yu Rui looked at him inexplicably.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
Xie Li averted his gaze first, with a bit of regret and there seemed to be something insatiable: “… I don’t know what to do.”
The voice was so low that Yu Rui did not hear what he said.
Xie Li waved his hand, “Although I want to spend the night, unfortunately, there is a night shift at the Internet cafe.”
Yu Rui was stunned, “And you still agreed to come and pick up Little Pear….”
“Isn’t it a request from you, Class President?” Xie Li joked.
Yu Rui’s heart felt guilty: “I owe you. If you have any requests later, you can mention them to me anytime.”
Xie Li: “Oh? Anything?”
“As long as I can do it.”
“Well…” He stressed the word, Xie Li smiled and turned sideways, “Then why don’t you give your body in return?”
Yu Rui: “…?”
Xie Li’s eyes wavered, and the emotions that were about to well up in the bottom of his heart were slowly suppressed. He leaned forward, “After all, it’s a pity that you don’t use the skills of a virtuous wife and mother, Class President.”
Yu Rui looked at him expressionlessly for two seconds, pressing on his temples to relieve his sudden headache, “You’d better get lost.”
“….”
Xie Li laughed, opened the door, and walked out.
Only when he reached the door of Yu Rui’s house and the metal door closed behind him did Xie Li’s smile disappear.
He took his hand out of his trouser pocket, the tennis ball in his hand had long since been squeezed into deformity.
He looked down twice, the corner of his mouth pulling up.
That he had to go back because there was a late shift at the Internet cafe was nonsense.
There was only one reason why he should leave…..
If he stayed at Yu Rui’s place, he couldn’t guarantee that he would be able to resist and not force himself on the unsuspecting person sleeping next to him. In the middle of the night: on the table, or in front of the bookshelf or whatever, and then “eat” him bit by bit.
Yu Rui: Call…like what?
Xie Li : Like when I’m €¥¢$$¥ you and then you’re €$$¥$¢¥¢ from my $$¢¥^•^¥
Yu Rui: hello, is it mental health hospital, I have someone that could use a visit there…
😆
Bruh i automatically filled all the blank spaces by myself and now wheezing 😂😂
🤭🤭 Thanks for the chapter ❤️❤️
I am definitely not smiling while reading this. Are u?
I would like very much if you “ate” him on the table the counter the stairs the wall maybe even on top of the fridge 🤧 I’d enjoy it very much and I can’t wait for the day you accidentally slip and kiss him I wonder if he’ll punch you or kiss back 👀
Pretty impressive, for a pervert. I very much look forward to the day Yu Rui figures out what Xie Li wants and finds himself interested.
I am loving this kid more every chapter. No repression here. Thanks Big Sis as always.
Poor Xi Li! Looking forward to him eating too! Thanks for the chapter.
