Chapter 38 (2/2)
Xie Yu went through the pile for a while He didn't find a pen, but he did find a strange piece of paper in a ledy scrawl—it seemed like the solution steps to a problem—but before he could look at it”Clean up, and put away all the books on the desk or there won't be room for dinner”
Xie Yu stuffed the piece of paper back
There were about five dishes, each in their own disposable container, as well as two cartons of rice
Xie Yu looked at the fish and found it very familiar ”Gold List?”
He Zhao split his disposable wooden chopsticks and picked out the spring onion slices on the stea the fish toward his desket it They said deliver to the school damn it, is across a brick wall considered 'delivered to the school?'”
Xie Yu are he was a picky eater When Madam Gu cooked she was careful about the dishes she made, but He Zhao's selection of dishes this tiered any land him, the previous time, what he wouldn't eat Had this idiot really re for?” He Zhao said ”Waiting forbro We can talk about it”
Xie Yu picked up his chopsticks to split them ”Do you want to die?”
Wan Da returned fro a cup of milk tea From the doorway he could smell food and as he walked in, he looked at the table ”The two of you went a little overboard, didn't you? The cafeteria food was so bland it was ready to hatch,¹ and it was all leftovers fro yourselves”
He Zhao finished his last two bites of rice and said, ”You're enjoying yourself, too, aren't you? Where did you get the ood?”
”The Fudan Milk Tea shop across the street,” Wan Da said ”It's passable But it says bubble milk tea and I never found any bubbles”
Xie Yu said, ”Then why did you buy it?”
Wan Da said, ”To be very honest, Fudan² is my dream”
For the rest of the week, the sports meet was on everyone'spicked a vest; it was practical and they could keep wearing it after the h-class princess dress and walked at the front of the line, holding a placard
The gyave everyone free tined up for the push-ups?” After picking out the shot put participants, the teacher walked over again blowing his whistle ”Who signed up for the push-ups? Eight of you, right? Come on up and shohat you can do”
He Zhao, Xie Yu and the others stepped up
”It's not howfor form At last year's etic They were co for who could do more Up, down, up, down, so quickly, and in the end—let ”
The gyround, then walked from the head of the line to the end He hadn't even started the timer and already one of the boys couldn't hold it and fell down
The first one fell, then three or four others fell like do He could still hold it for a long ti on the ground, he felt a little silly still holding his own plank, so he and Xie Yu both went along and sat on the ground
The gy and said, ”…Aren't you lot too weak? Just this little bit and you already can't do it? Do you want to do well in the sports yo back to his dored the entire class out to prepare for the sports ht push-up contestants sat on the floor of the indoor court To one side, several pairs of first-year students were playing badminton
The shuttlecocks flew across the indoor court Up into the air, and then down again
”How many can you do? He Zhao asked
Xie Yu looked at the player before him run forward several steps, then leap to hit the shuttlecock He said, ”Don't know Never counted”
”Later, should we see who can do ive the he had and said he'd be able to get their planking skills up to a never-before-seen level in just one short class period
”Yes, yes, yes” Wan Da raised his hand ”Coach, I want to learn this”
The gyin”
Xie Yu had a bad premonition
Two minutes later, the bad premonition beca through the indoor court, and instead a chorus of 'Whoa' resounded throughout the hall
The gym teacher squatted by the side and said, ”Odd-nuin On my count, do a push-up After fifty, you can rest”
Xie Yu lay under He Zhao and sloith a cole word ”…fuck”
He Zhao's hands were on either side of Xie Yu's arht of his upper body; hehis posture This really was a little strange and he couldn't help laughing ”Who invented this? Genius No wonder it'll take you to heights you've never reached before”
Wan Da was really about to cry He said to the guy above hi bad will happen”
The guy above hi ”I-I-I'll do my best”
Once they had assuym teacher blew the whistle for the first time ”一！”
He Zhao lowered his body The further he went, the closer he got to Xie Yu, and even though he tried to control his strength, he still inadvertently lightly touched hih the thin ht warle with He Zhao's
A while ago, He Zhao could still laugh at the prospect of this lying-down push-up setup; now, he couldn't laugh at all
The two of thenified versions at that—their eyes, noses, eyelashes, and even every single microexpression was crystal-clear
At the corner of Xie Yu's eye, there was a very tiny mole
Suddenly, He Zhao couldn't bear it anythis extended eye contact
Hea little
