Yu Rui’s physical condition has always been in the upper-middle-range among his peers, except for his stomach, which was not so good, he rarely caught a cold. Even if he was unlucky enough to get one, it would only take a pack or two of pills to solve the problem. However, on Friday morning this week, Yu Rui boarded the last train of the last batch and completely “collapsed” after returning home at night.
The thermometer showed 39.3 °C (103. 82 °F).
It was strange that Yu Rui didn’t even open his textbook, he went back to his room, took his fever-reducing medicine, and went straight to bed.
Yu Li was a little worried and entered his room with a glass of water, “Brother?”
“….” Yu Rui opened his eyes, dizzy for a few seconds before slowly getting up from the bed, “Xiao Li, what’s wrong?”
The moment he opened his mouth the raspy voice startled him.
Yu Li hesitated, “Our teacher said we have a parent’s meeting tomorrow at 2 pm, so if you can’t go, then can I ask for the teacher’s leave?”
“Okay,” Yu Rui tapped his cell phone and set an alarm for 1:30 the next day. He smiled with a bit of sickly paleness, “Done.”
“But you have a fever…”
“Tomorrow will be fine, don’t worry.”
“…well, brother, rest well.”
Yu Li nodded uneasily, put the glass of water next to Yu Rui’s table, and turned to leave.
Yu Rui was not sure if it was because he went to bed early last night, but the next morning when he woke up, it was already past eight o’clock.
Yu Li had gone to the study hall with his classmates, leaving Yu Rui alone at home.
He sat at the desk with his body bent over, his throat was so dry and sore, it felt like sand, and his head felt like it was full of cotton. After taking an anti-fever pill on an empty stomach, Yu Rui braced himself and opened the book before him.
… Except for homework, Xie Li’s review could not be delayed.
In this way, around one o’clock noon, Yu Rui finally managed to finish writing the last word and crawled back to bed weakly. After falling asleep, he was almost comatose, the cell phone vibrated and turned on several times, but Yu Rui could not be awakened.
It wasn’t until almost an hour later that the sleeping Yu Rui suddenly woke up, reaching for his cell phone to see the missed calls and alarm. It was already 1:47 p.m. The call was from Yu Li, and there was a message at the end asking him if he would be on time for the parents’ meeting.
It was then that Yu Rui realized what he had forgotten. There were only 13 minutes left for the parent-teacher meeting, so he didn’t bother to return the call. Just changed clothes, and rushed downstairs.
…
Xie Li had already been in the noisy KTV box for two hours before he received Yu Li’s call.
The room was very well soundproofed, and once the door was closed, all the piercing magical sounds reverberated throughout the room. Even a first-class sleeper like Xie Li couldn’t sleep. He was lying on the sofa, looking indifferently at the friends who came here today under the name of “looking for him to play”, but crying like monkeys on the mountain.
Xie Li’s cell phone was always on silent, but he had set special call alerts for Yu Rui and Yu Li’s numbers, so as soon as the cell phone vibrated in his pocket, Xie Li woke up immediately.

As he took out his cell phone, Xie Li turned to the side and turned off the background music with a snap.

Xie Li twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered, “… are you sure you were singing and not crying?”
“Is there a crying like mine?”
“Hush, I’m making a call.”
“Huh, who’s calling, a man or a woman?”
When he saw the caller ID, Xie Li didn’t look up, “Female.”
“Shit?” The eyes of the three people instantly lit up.
The one holding the microphone instantly threw it away and ran to the sofa next to Xie Li, “Quickly, quickly, answer it! I can’t believe there’s an ambiguous person around Brother Li, what kind of news of the century is this?”
“… go away.” Xie Li paused, leaving them no room to make a fuss, “It’s the sister of a friend of mine, who is turning ten this year.”
The three of them instantly showed mixed degrees of disappointment.
Xie Li didn’t bother to pay any more attention to them and replied, “Xiao Li?”
“Brother Xie Li, do you have time this afternoon?” Yu Li’s voice was anxious, “There’s a parents’ meeting in our class today at 2 o’clock, but I called my brother and he didn’t answer, can you come instead of my brother?”
“At 2 o’clock?” Xie Li raised his eyes and hesitated less than a second before getting up, “Okay, send me your class details. I’ll head there as soon as possible.”
“Thanks, Brother Xie Li!”
Xie Li hung up and looked at the three of them gossiping and curiosity written in his eyes, “You guys came by car, right?”
“Ah, that’s a must, otherwise…”
“Cut the crap. Whoever hasn’t been drinking, come down and take me somewhere.”
“Huh? To what? What for? I’ve never seen you so soft when you talk to us.”
“It’s urgent, let’s talk on the way.”
“Oh…”
The result was that the four of them finished the commotion in the box ahead of schedule, got in the car, and headed straight to T Elementary School.
Along the way, two of the three who had confirmed the address was laughing their heads off.
“Brother Li, have you been assigned as a babysitter?”
“It’s not easy, it’s not easy.”
“When you said 10-year-old sister, I thought you lied to us, I didn’t expect that you would go to an elementary school hahahaha…”
Xie Li didn’t bother to pay attention, he just let them laugh. Only occasionally glancing at his cell phone, he was hesitant to call Yu Rui.
The one driving the car, named Gan Qingyan, considered himself the only decent person, and although he was also holding back laughter, his ability to get the point was much better than the other two, “Brother Li, the girl who just called you is the sister of a friend you know from here?”
Xie Li raised his eyelids, “Hmm.”
A fat man in the back seat reacted and leaned over to cause trouble, “What friend is he, so close that his sister even dares to ask you for help?”
Xie Li was silent and suddenly smiled, “The Class President.”
“… Fuck, Brother Li, what are you doing!”
The fat man lying on his stomach jumped back flexibly, looking at Xie Li in horror.
Xie Li was surprised by him, frowned and turned around, looked him up and down, “What’s wrong with you?”
However, the chubby boy turned his head to look at the person next to him, “Brother Li just smiled at me all of a sudden!”
“…. you need to have some face.” Xie Li had a lazy look on his face, “Who’s looking at you.”
The fat man argued, “Then what were you smiling about just now, and smiling so greedily!”
The car was silent for a few seconds.
Suddenly there was an “OW,” a whine from the fat man.
When they arrived at T Elementary School, Xie Li left the three of them in the car and looked for the building where the parent-teacher meeting was to be held according to the instructions sent by Yu Li.
He had just reached the third floor, where his target classroom was located when the cell phone in his pants pocket vibrated again.
Xie Li picked it up.
“Brother Xie Li, my brother just called me, he says he is already at school.”
“…. well, I’ve already seen him.”
“En?”
“Okay, have your brother contact you when he’s done.”
“Huh? Oh…”
Xie Li hung up impatiently and his eyes fixed not far away: outside the classroom door, a teenage boy’s back stopped in front of the teacher. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards.
He quickly approached.
Within a few steps, Xie Li heard the teacher hesitantly ask from the list in her hand, “Are you Yu Li’s father?”
“Yes.”
“… oh, then you can sign here.”
“Well, thank you.” Yu Rui’s back was turned and his voice sounded a little muffled for some reason, Xie Li’s eyes deepened.
Pausing for a few seconds, he moved forward.
As soon as the teacher looked up, she noticed a boy coming who was no less handsome than the teenager in front of her who had taken her back for a few seconds, and who didn’t look too old either.
The teacher looked more hesitant, “Did you also come to the parent-teacher conference?”
“Hmm.”
“… !!”
The sound of this voice made Yu Rui’s pen stop.
“And whose student’s father are you?”
“Yu Li.”
“… Huh?” The teacher looked up blankly, “Which one of you is the father?”
Yu Rui put down her pen with a headache, “I am Yu Li’s brother.”
The teacher looked up, “Then you…”
Xie Li stopped beside Yu Rui and extended his hand to point at Yu Rui, “I am his brother.”
Yu Rui, “….”
