School Uniform GentlemanCh5 - “YOUR GIRLFRIEND?”

“… Yu?”

“…” 5XnvPw

“Brother Yu!”

Yu Rui’s shoulder sank with a tap, and when he looked back, he saw Qiao Shengyu reaching him from behind in disbelief, “Here’s your homework! Thank you very much!”

“Well, you’re welcome.”

“But what were you were thinking about just now, so absorbed in your thoughts? I called you several times and you didn’t even answer.” IjnT6O

“Nothing.” Yu Rui took two steps, hesitated, and asked, “Do you know Ye Mu Mu?”

“Ye Mu Mu?” Qiao Shengyu froze for a few seconds, then realized, “Ohh, when I went back to get my backpack, I heard someone in the classroom say that she blocked the door and confessed to you today, right?”

Yu Rui felt helpless, “Not really.”

“Ye Mu Mu’s brother is not from this school, and it’s better if you don’t mess with him. But if you’re worried about him threatening you next time, Brother Yu, then let me, I’ll help you solve it.” Qiao Shengyu pounded his chest hard, “I can solve Ye Mu Mu’s matter.”

“So, what are you worried about?”

“….” Yu Rui was silent for a moment and then showed a rare frown, “Xie Li confronted Ye Mu Mu  today, will her brother do something to Xie Li?”

Once he heard Xie Li’s name, Qiao Shengyu’s expression suddenly became strange, “Xie Li doesn’t seem to be too polite to you, are you still worried about him?”

“This matter is because of me, if something happens to him, I won’t be able to explain it to the teacher.” 6z95bY

“Also…” Qiao Shengyu scratched his head, “You don’t have to worry about Xie Li at all, nothing will happen to him.”

“Is that so?” Yu Rui stopped in his tracks.

“I can’t say anything else. Just remember, Brother Yu, don’t mess with Xie Li if something happens, stay as far away from him as you can.”

Qiao Shengyu muttered something else, and without waiting for Yu Rui to say anything, he waved his hand and walked away with his gang of friends. AycCkw

Yu Rui stayed in the same place, with a hazy and unsure expression.

One of his beliefs in life is to keep a clear head. That was why he didn’t want to mess with someone like Xie Li who is sick in the head and whose condition is unknown.

However, the current situation isn’t him looking for trouble, rather trouble seems to be looking for him.

“Xie Li.” d8ds O

Yu Rui frowned and murmured once more, pursed his lips, put on his headphones, and left.

Yu Rui’s family lives in the old city. The walls of the residential buildings in this district are mottled, and the side walls are full of vines, which had been there for some years.

This site is a turn-of-the-century five-story building with no elevator, and the interior of the building is also in ruins. The sensor light on the second and third floors had been broken for a long time, and Yu Rui slowed down his steps to avoid the mess that had accumulated in the hallway.

Going up to the fourth floor, he took out a key and opened the door, then entered the apartment. However, the apartment was also dark. Mdo9gb

Yu Rui paused in the foyer, “Xiao Li?”

The empty living room was silent for a long time, the door of a small bedroom was pushed from inside accompanied by the ‘creaking’ of the dilapidated metal door.

Yu Rui looked at the closed door of the master bedroom, “That one didn’t come back?”

The girl’s eyes shrunk and she shook her head.

“Have you had dinner?” mbtfPX

Yu Li shook her head again.

Yu Rui turned on the living room light and put his backpack on the sofa. Then he smiled and straightened up to rub the girl’s head, “Then go back to your room and read your book first, I’ll make dinner and call you when it’s ready.”

“Aren’t you tired, brother? It’s better if I do it.”

“You?” Yu Rui turned to the kitchen, and burst out laughing, “Let you burn the kitchen?” jlJhtV

“I won’t!”

” I’ll be fine. You go back to your book.”

“Oh…”

Yu Rui sautéed vegetables and was about to take them to the dining room when he saw Yu Li rush into the kitchen with his cell phone. ZGVQBP

“Brother, someone called you.”

“Well, who’s calling?” Yu Rui asked without turning around.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“A number and a voice I don’t recognize, but it was someone mean.” Yu Li recalled, “He asked me who I was, but I didn’t tell him.”

“Hmm.” Yu Rui wiped his hands and picked it up, and there was indeed an unfamiliar number on the screen, “Xiao Li, take the dishes to the living room first.” ZqWX p

“Okay.”

Yu Li walked away, and Yu Rui hesitated for two seconds before calling back.

The other side picked it up almost instantly.

“Is the Class President also busy at night?” The tone was low and teasing, still tinged with a bit of coldness. 2EV9Ra

The smile on Yu Rui’s clear face faded, “Is something wrong with student Xie Li?”

“Who is the girl who just answered the phone?”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

“So she’s your girlfriend.” RwVxnD

“….”

Yu Rui found that this person had a “special ability”; Xie Li always seemed to be able to easily exhaust the patience he had cultivated for over ten years, and then bring him to the brink of breaking it.

Yu Rui restrained himself, “She’s my sister.”

“Ah.” The other party paused and smiled suddenly, “I’m sorry I didn’t say good afternoon to my sister. I’ll bring her an apology gift next time.” TmQqK6

Yu Rui: “… she is my sister, not your sister. And I won’t let you see her.”

“Tsk. At home, the Class President is still very cold.” The man laughed foolishly, “Is it because there’s no one else around, so you don’t need to hide it?”

“… if you’re okay, then I’m hanging up.”

“Sure. Good night, Class President.” Pu6WTR

“…”

When he heard the “beep”, Yu Rui still hadn’t come to his senses.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

He stood still for a few seconds before reacting, then stiffened his movements and put down the cell phone. The screen that lit up showed the words “call ended”.

Yu Rui: “??” rnevWZ

Calling without saying anything, as if he only wanted to say goodnight? What kind of deranged person is this?

“Brother, dinner is ready.”

“Well, let ‘s go.”

Yu Rui dispersed the gloom from his eyes and headed to the living room. qE1DFX

After the meal, Yu Rui checked Yu Li’s homework and then urged her to go to bed.

This girl was in her early teens, just the right time to have an active mind, teasing Yu Rui and inquiring excitedly with him about school things.

Yu Rui was never impatient with Yu Li, not even a little anxious. Only when he convinced her to go to sleep did he gently get up and left the room.

Yu Rui went back to his room after doing the dishes. He put on his rimless glasses and finished half of a brand new science paper when the outer door of the house was suddenly bet upon. cAf 2o

“Bang!” “Bang!”

The booming sound was as if trying to wake up the entire building, and was accompanied by a vaguely drunken scolding from a man with a gruff voice, “Brat! Where the hell are you, brat? You’re still not hurrying to… open the door for your old man!”

Under the miserable white light, the teenager’s light face did not show much surprise. The emotions in the dark eyes were also indifferent.

He looked back at the closed door of Yu Li’s small bedroom and didn’t hesitate long before turning toward the hallway to open the door for the drunkard outside. FoXZRk

As soon as the metal door was opened, the foul smell of alcohol hit his face.

Yu Rui frowned.

Two people were standing in front of the door. The one on the left neither did Yu Rui know him nor did he want to meet him; the one on the right was still cursing at that moment while being held by the man standing next to him.

“You are Yu Rui, aren’t you?” The person he didn’t know smiled awkwardly, “Your father is drunk again, so it was hard to find his house. Help him get in.” yg6HE7

But Yu Rui didn’t reach out his hand.

He just calmly stayed where he was, his gaze sweeping over his drunken father like a stranger before raising his eyes coldly, “Uncle, next time if he’s this drunk, you don’t have to send him back. It’s okay to leave him on the side of the road.”

“…. huh?”

“My sister is young and needs sleep. She has school in the morning, so she can’t afford to toss and turn. If you have to send him back the next time he is drunk, don’t blame me for not opening the door for you.” pY6wsg

“Hey, kid…”

The drunken Yu Congsheng sobered up, and pointing at the indifferent Yu Rui started cursing, “You brat! Even for your father, you don’t care! I raised you two money squanderers for nothing, bah!”

The man next to him awkwardly held out his hand, not knowing what to say. He looked back at the teenager inside the door, expecting to see him angry, but to his surprise, the teenager acted as if he hadn’t heard anything.

The cursing continued, and Yu Rui only frowned before the man’s voice became even sharper, “Xiao Li is already asleep, so don’t wake her up.” SNmChG

“How dare you even lecture your father! Who gave you the courage?”

The man turned red, becoming more and more agitated as he spoke, and suddenly he raised his hand and threw a slap at the teenager’s face.

There was a loud sound.

Yu Rui’s face turned to the side, his glasses askew, dangling on the bridge of his slender nose, and a blinding red flashed quickly between his cold white complexion. T 2oU3

A rusty taste went down his throat.

This time, even the man outside the door froze before coming to his senses and hurriedly pulled Yu Congsheng, “Old Yu, are you drunk and confused, how can you hit your son?”

He did not dare to let this father and son deal with each other and hurriedly half-dragged Yu Congsheng to the master bedroom and threw him on the bed, closing the door and going out.

The man awkwardly apologized to Yu Rui a few times before leaving. xjVhBm

The door closed.

Yu Rui stood silently in place for a long time, raising his hand just in time to not let his glasses fall off.

He turned around to enter his room.

The science activity on the desk was half-finished. Under the lamplight, the papers were piled up in dark, heavy shadows. RKWgBQ

Yu Rui sat down at the table and picked up a pencil. After completing two multiple-choice questions, the pencil point stopped, leaving a thin, light mark on the paper.

Then he put the pencil down on the table. The teenager slowly leaned back against the back of the wooden chair.

He half-laughed under his breath.

The light from the desk lamp was too bright, and as he laughed, Yu Rui raised his hand to cover his closed eyes. lXYOI

Then there was a dead silence.

The window was open, and the hot, dry late summer wind blew into the room.

In that dry heat, Yu Rui looked up at the ceiling and shivered slightly, feeling cold inside.
