Editor: Noe, you've changed

Xie Yu got up early He changed into his school uniforetables with Madaot ready to take the bus back to school ”I' happens, call ot up, and said, ”Let the driver send you back”

Xie Yu walked to the entryway and bent down to change his shoes He hadn't brought anything back with hi with hi back to school, but instead, going out to play ”No need I'll go back onjust like that? You're not even taking a backpack?” Gu Xuelan wasn't sure what to say to hined this weekend?”

Xie Yu said, ”I've done it I did it in school”

This excuse was too fishy There was no way Gu Xuelan would have believed it ”I think you didn't do it at all”

”There weren't many questions I could do, anyway” Xie Yu placed his slippers neatly to the side, pulled open the door, and went out A gust of hu past his face ”It's the same whether I subetting cold, take care of yourself,” but Xie Yu had already walked out

The Zhong family's house was in a rather remote location and it was half an hour's walk to the nearest bus station

A fa laps in the nearby park Towels hung around their necks and they panted as they ran

Actually, not everything here was a source of frustration

For instance, the glow of dawn that rose frorass he had passed on the way here Or the couple in front of hi with their children; they had deliberately slowed their steps and looked like a slow-

Xie Yu put in his earphones as he walked and put a song on, then stuck his hands back in his pockets

Fresh air and a new day

The tiet back to school was deter Sometimes, he was more unlucky—this time, for example, the bus broke down on the way

The driver s time before he patted it with a hand ”No can do You all wait for the next one”

The busful of passengers exploded

Little friend, what ti back to school?

What do you want

Did you ates

Are you sick?

Can we just have a proper conversation? Thank goodness I have a good teet to school later don't rush to class I'll wait for you in the bathroootten to the classroo better to do than bother him

Xie Yu chatted on and off with hi more than to end the conversation while the other did their best to revive the dying tree¹

The next bus arrived quickly It stopped with a shudder, the '91' plate indicating its route hanging in the glass

When Xie Yu got to school, there were still tencouldn't do anything to hiates ”Hurry up! Start running! Every second counts!”

Mad Dog continued, ”You don't kno to use your time well at all! You're almost in year three, do you think this is your first day? …Remember to ask your desk, and everyI'd catch him I would just wait by the wall”

Xie Yu , neither quickly nor slowly He was not that interested in listening to Mad Dog's war stories ”Sorry for the disturbance Goodbye, Dean Jiang”

Xie Yu went upstairs and saw so to and fro in the corridor outside Class 23 Wan Da had his head stuck out the , looking out with one hand on the sill Xie Yu wasn't bothered and was about to walk over when soed him in the opposite direction

Xie Yu hadn't been prepared He took two steps backwards and was dragged along, and by the ti, he had already been pulled into a stall in the boys' bathrooo Two people in a stall was really a little craether ”Didn't you see the class rep hanging around the corridor?”

He Zhao wore a light jacket over his school unifors on the back His white uniform shi+rt stuck out past the bottom of the vest

Xie Yu had not taken He Zhao's words, 'I'll wait for you in the toilet,' to heart at all ”What's he hanging around there for?”

”He said he'd explain trigonometric functions to us” He Zhao scratched his head and said helplessly, ”…Theformulas at me”

Xie Yu: ”……”

He Zhao: ”Didn't expect that, did you? I's in the future”

Over the weekend, Xie Yu had al 's focus and endurance was far beyond that of an ordinary person's Just look at the post-it notes all over his desk, and the reference books stacked in his drawer, on the desk, on the floor, and even in a corner of the classroom because he had nowhere else to put the his own ho about how to lead everyone to study well

The two of them had been squashed in the toilet stall for a while and Xie Yu was starting to find this very stupid Why were they hiding in a toilet stall so early in the ht be

”You can't abandon me here”

”Don't block the door”

”Old Xie, if you walk out this door, we're not brothers any more”

”We never were”

When the bell was about to ring for class, the student on duty carried a cloth and a bucket to the bathroo out the cloth, and was about to walk out when he heard a faint noise frolanced around

In the stall

He Zhao's back was to the door, blocking it so Xie Yu couldn't open it
