Chapter 8 (2/2)
By the ti Because one of them had written especially slowly and all the essays had to be handed in before they could leave, the ones who had finished first just waited at the side
”Just three thousand words and you're defeated Are you a ive him pointers at first, but even he eventually admitted that this person was unteachable ”You don't even knorite a reflection? 'I rong I deeply feel ain' Then, look forward to your future—write, I'll dictate and you write”
Xie Yu watched coldly from the side In the time it took others to write 3000 words, this person had only written an introduction Xie Yu wasn't as chatty as He Zhao: he only said one thing and had already almost made the person cry ”Tell me, did you really finish nine years of compulsory education?”
”All in?” The officer froone out to take care of some matters Now he picked up the thick stack of reflection essays, flipped through the as you are first-tiive you a chance to turn over a new leaf Don't let soain Whether you're minors or not, you have to take responsibility for your actions”
Everyone answered in unison: ”Yes, yes, yes, thank you uncle officer”
”It won't happen again”
”You ht major values of a harmonious society
”How about this Stand in two lines, the way you did when you first arrived”
Zhou Dalei hesitated Was this so that everyone would leave tidily? This place really did value order
Xie Yu and He Zhao resuinal position in line and stood face to face He Zhao had, at some point, put his mask back on and only his eyes showed
After everyone was in position, the officer let them know an important piece of information, so explosive that no piece of skin on them remained intact: ”This police station practices education that springs from love Based on the principles of love, we'll try out soeted to kids like you who brawl publicly Now shake hands, hug, and say, ”I love you,of a harood place The world is full of love”
Xie Yu: ”……”
He Zhao: ”……”
Zhou Dalei: ”……?!” The police of this area were too perverted, surely?
Evening, 7 pm
Xie Yu sat in a Lanzhou ramen store and looked at his phone as he waited for Zhou Dalei to eat his second serving of raht in this area anyonion, then picked up the noodles and shoved them in his mouth With his mouth full he said, ”Mpf tha, then talk”
Zhou Dalei gulped the food down, ignoring that it was piping hot ”I, Lei-zai, have walked the world for sixteen years, and it's —I love you, ive this worldly youth a way out”
Thenoodles spoke, the more he felt it was unjustified beyond words In the end, he condensed all his feelings into a single line: ”I don't bow to anybody but I'll bow to that guy in the station who's so sha how that person was shareen
Out of everyone, He Zhao was the one as least psychologically burdened and the one who acted quickest
He had caught Xie Yu's hand very naturally, sincerely taken his shoulders, and hugged him He had said, ”I love you, my friend,” full of e-lost blood brothers
Night had fallen An evening wind suddenly rose and cooled the heat of the day some
”Actually, that violet weapon froame equipment that I cared about” Zhou Dalei's voice suddenly went quiet and he put down his chopsticks ”You know, et confused and I have no idea what's going on My parents' barbecue stand doesn't really count for work, and it's pretty exhausting, but what else can I do? I only kno to play video gaame equipment… Boss Xie, what do you think? Do I have any chance of beco a professional esports player?”
Xie Yu didn't say anything and listened quietly
”Forget it, I was just saying No arabbed a napkin, wiped his o It's late and we have to hurry ho out? She's probably worried”
Zhou Dalei was usually a heartless person To someone who didn't know hi

But the Zhou Dalei Xie Yu kneasn't like that
”Lei-zi”
”Mames?”
”Yeah, I like to”
”What would you say your skill level is?”
Zhou Dalei treated it as shooting the breeze and said, ”Very good, all right?”
Zhou Dalei walked very far before he realized Xie Yu wasn't following him
He turned back and was about to yell, ”What are you doing, are you coood friend say froood”
Zhou Dalei froze
Xie Yu laughed as he said, ”You're da 'really da for co 'Niubility' is supposedly a thing although I have never seen it in the wild
