School Uniform GentlemanCh6 - PROVOCATION

The next morning, the drunkard in the master bedroom still hadn’t woken up after Yu Rui and Yu Li finished breakfast.

Yu Rui was already used to it and just pretended that he did not exist. OthUKT

The two siblings packed their respective backpacks and went out together. On the first floor, they happened to meet an old couple who were neighborhood on the same floor.

“Hello grandma, hello grandpa.” Yu Li grabbed the strap of her backpack and obediently greeted the two elders returning from their walk.

“Xiao Li? Are you going to school with your brother?”

“Yes.” oOUcC2

“Xiao Li is getting cuter and cuter…”

Yu Rui greeted the two elders likewise. After the two parties said their goodbyes, Yu Rui and Yu Li headed towards the exit of the building.

Upstairs where the two old people went, the old woman with problems in her ear sighed, “Ah, what two good kids. How did they end up with such an alcoholic father? Yu Li is little and has her brother to take care of her, so she’s fine. But Yu Rui is still growing up. I heard from Xiao Chen from the neighboring apartment that he works two or three times a week as a tutor, and he also takes care of his studies and the house. How can he manage it all?”

“Well well, they are not your grandchildren. Cut your meddling.”

Dq0fOx

“Old man, don’t you feel sorry for the two poor children? Being a father so young, the father is such an embarrassment…”

Yu Rui and Yu Li walked out of the building, and those voices behind them disappeared.

Yu Rui’s eyebrows were soft as if he hadn’t heard anything, but Yu Li couldn’t help but tilt her head up and looked at him along with the hand she held.

“Brother.” fuUjMG

“What’s wrong?”

The girl went silent before shaking her head again and lowering it, “Nothing.”

Yu Rui’s expression twitched slightly. A few seconds later, he sighed and walked towards Yu Li, stopping to squat down.

Yu Rui arranged the red scarf on Yu Li’s chest before looking up, his eyes looking tenderly at the restless girl in front of him, “Xiao Li, what Grandma Zhang said was with good intentions, but you don’t need to think about it. Brother said he would protect you, remember?” GfaiDJ

“But I… brother, I also want to protect you.”

Yu Rui smiled and patted Yu Li’s head, “Well, brother will wait for you. But before that, our Xiao Li has to grow up first.”

“I will!”

“Mhm.” ZctjDx

Yu Rui dropped Yu Ri off at T Primary School, which was very close to home, before cycling to high school. Both schools weren’t far from each other, but it still took some time to get from one to the other. So when Yu Rui arrived, the morning self-study had already begun about ten minutes ago.

The class teacher, Tian Xueqian, was so diligent that on the first day of the class, he stood at the classroom door to catch the latecomers.

Yu Rui walked up the stairs and saw Tian Xueqian standing at the door and consciously slowed his steps, “Professor Tian, I—”

“Professor Bi told me that you might be late for your morning study time, I understand, come in.” G4mYRK

The teacher Tian Xueqian was talking about was Yu Rui’s senior class teacher, Bi Songliang, the other party knew a bit more about his home situation.

“Thank you, teacher.”

Yu Rui’s eyes widened as he put down his backpack and entered the classroom.

Morning self-study on the first day of school was relatively quiet because the teachers of the various subjects have yet to assign them homework, and the students weren’t doing much except for those who were writing furiously to finish their overdue homework. pAXNvx

Yu Rui, who was late for class, just entered the classroom and many students stared at him. Some wanted to take the opportunity to talk, but they saw Tian Xueqian walk out behind him, watching them with the intent to intimidate them.

As for who had the guts to do this, that was a question Yu Rui didn’t even want to bother answering.

The gentle smile that hung on his face faded, and Yu Rui turned his back to the class very expressionlessly.

He lifted his eyelids. In his line of sight, Xie Li was looking at him with one hand resting on the desk and smiling.

Both of their gazes met. sgPrEn

“Good morning, Class President.”

“….”

Yu Rui hated Xie Li’s smile.

To be fair, Xie Li’s features were deep; his eyebrows were much deeper than those of his peers, and his dark eyes seemed to suck people into them. Thin lips and an unusual smile. SVknwC

If Xie Li could smile like that at everyone, then Yu Rui did not doubt that the title of “scholar” which the students had privately bestowed on him last year would be taken away from him by Xie Li.

But Yu Rui’s dislike for Xie Li’s smile bordered on animalistic instincts.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The first time Xie Li showed him that smile, Yu Rui felt danger— the darkness in those eyes was too deep as if hiding a predatory desire to strip him of his bones and suck his blood.

The first time he saw it, Yu Rui thought about it for a long time, but he couldn’t figure out when he had offended Xie Li. He even thought about how to smooth over the relationship because after all, they would be in the same class for two years. 0oKGx5

But seeing the smile that made him feel terrible on an already terrible morning made Yu Rui increasingly expressionless.

Fuck smoothing the relationship!

Why should he establish a relationship with a sick person who liked looking at him like a lunatic?

Yu Rui put down his backpack and turned around to sit down. Then, his arm was violently grabbed and jerked back. ZQ BOG

Startled, Yu Rui almost stumbled as he was dragged backward.

The classroom fell silent for a few seconds and some people began to stare at them.

After catching the gossipy eyes of those who noticed what was going on, Yu Rui became annoyed: if he had known that this person would be mad enough to care so much about a missing “good morning”…. he wouldn’t have bothered avoiding it.

Yu Rui held back his emotions and turned away. QlERmH

The words that reached the students’ ears were calm and gentle, “Xie Li, you…”

Xie Li’s eyes were gloomy, and his deadly gaze was aimed at Yu Rui’s right cheek.

At that moment, hearing Yu Rui open his mouth, Xie Li seemed to come back to his senses. His gaze lifted and shifted from Yu Rui’s cheek to his eyes.

Xie Li’s voice was cold, “What happened to your face?” j1pznH

Yu Rui was stunned.

He had even purposely checked himself in the mirror before leaving the house.

Yu Congsheng’s slap last night wasn’t light, plus his sensitive physique would easily leave red marks. So it hadn’t completely faded this morning.

But it wasn’t too obvious otherwise, he wouldn’t have come out, and it should have been even more unnoticeable now. 2XxlOa

Seeing Yu Rui’s silence, Xie Li repeated, his aggravated voice becoming an octave higher, “What happened to your face?”

More students began to look at him.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yu Rui frowned and whispered in a compromised voice, “Pillow mark.”

“….” TUSMtz

“Let go of me.”

Xie Li remained silent.

The increasing number of eyes made Yu Rui’s patience remain calm and wear thin. He pressed his elbow hard, disengaging Xie Li’s grip.

Then Yu Rui looked down, cold eyes silently warning Xie Li. xv65oh

Xie Li’s thin lips tightened, and his eyebrows furrowed violently.

For a moment, Yu Rui felt as if he saw the sparks of a black volcano waiting to erupt under Xie Li’s eyes, as though he was suppressing some horrible and imminent emotion at that moment.

But the volcano stayed silent.

“Pillow mark, ah.” Xie Li looked down, and for a second Yu Rui couldn’t see his expression, only hearing him chuckle softly, “That’s impressive.” V dTjn

Yu Rui, “…” He looked at him with a tense and expressionless face, “Thank you for the compliment.”

“I’m not complimenting you, but the pillow that left the mark on you.”

“?” Yu Rui, who was ready to sit back down, sensed a hint of something unusual in that tone of voice.

He looked back, but Xie Li didn’t give him a chance to meet his eyes. AD6LUF

The man was still smiling, voice gradually deepening, “What’s the point of keeping such a waste of a pillow? When I get the chance, I’ll tear it apart for you.”

Yu Rui paused and narrowed his eyes, “Don’t bother, I’ll do it myself.”

After determining that Xie Li harbored animosity of unknown origin towards him, he began to consciously avoid him: including, but not limited to, minimizing the chances of the two of them seeing each other and communicating, automatically filtering out all words and actions directed at him, and turning to as many unrelated third parties as possible when he was forced to be alone.

After a week in this manner, Yu Rui finally felt that Xie Li no longer seemed to be overly aggressive towards him. QnYo3M

The price was that, whether in the classroom, in the playground, or in any other group activity, when Yu Rui was among his classmates with a friendly smile, he could always feel from one direction or another an intense gaze on his back.

It was a headache for Yu Rui.

He had never met such an unpleasant and difficult “rival” in his life.

With this unrelenting stare, Yu Rui survived until the last class on Friday; counseling. LI4KVd

Tian Xueqian summarized the week’s Teaching Class matters, thought for a few seconds, and then tapped the blackboard, “After a week, everyone should be familiar with the class, right?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm. Then we’ll spend the rest of the counseling addressing one thing. Some students have told me during the week about the unfair seating arrangement, since everyone is already familiar with each other,  we’ll do a seating adjustment.”

“Professor, are we all going to be changed?” eaqsok

“Of course not. Current seating takes precedence, but personal preference will be taken into consideration and changes can be made. Students who want to change seats can do so if both parties agree.”

“…”

Hearing Tian Xueqian’s words, the classroom immediately stirred.

Xie Li had no interest in it and was going to lie down, but before he could bend over, he saw Yu Rui at the table in front of him quietly picking up the books on his table and putting them in his backpack, he stood up. hZWCdg

Xie Li’s figure trembled.

A few seconds later, he looked up and saw a girl with glasses coming over and stopping next to Yu Rui’s table.

Yu Rui’s voice sounded again, “Are you sure you can sit here? Is it too far away from the front?”

“It’s fine.” The girl’s voice was soft and low. BzlTPE

“Well, thanks for being willing to switch with me then.”

“No…that’s okay. I just happened to want to sit alone too.”

From Xie Li’s angle, he could visibly see the girl’s white face blushing.

Xie Li’s eyes sank. He unexpectedly raised his hand and reached up to squeeze the girl’s wrist. gKvixy

“Ah…” The girl was forced to stop and looked at Xie Li in surprise.

Yu Rui froze and turned around, frowning, “Xie Li, what are you doing?”

Xie Li was silent for two seconds, and his laziness vanished to reveal a provocative smile, “Class President, aren’t you even prepared to be an example of the teacher’s words?”

Yu Rui looked at him coldly, “What’s wrong?” j7WvdK

“He just said that the seat change is only possible if both parties agree.”

“I have already agreed, and so has Pei An An…”

“But I didn’t.”

“…” Yu Rui choked, barely able to restrain the urge to grit his teeth, “What do you care if we change seats?” kLVtim

“You’re the table in front of me, and the only one close to me, classmate.” The corners of Xie Li’s lips tightened, and the smile became very bright, “Now that my front table is changing, do you think it has nothing to do with me?”

For the first time, a feeling of helplessness in front of his companions surfaced in Yu Rui’s heart.

But his inner personality had never been placid, and this emotion would only arouse his hostility at the deepest level.

While the chaos in the classroom was still fresh and not many people were paying attention, Yu Rui turned around, reached up, and grabbed Xie Li’s neck, pulling him forward. KvldYO

Both of their gazes met, and the distance suddenly became zero again.

The young man’s soft camouflage shell was completely shed at this second, no expression was visible on his handsome features, and his dark eyes were cold.

His voice froze, “When did I ever provoke you, for you to have such hostility towards me?”

Xie Li was stunned for a moment. thTS4d

A second later, the hottest black flames erupted in his eyes, glowing… reflecting a horrifying lust and desire.

Xie Li laughed, “I have hostility towards you? No”.

He licked the tips of his canine teeth and bit down slowly, the taste of blood filling the air as he whispered.

“I just want to fuck you. 0obIg

Right now, right here.”
