Thesefreely over the quad were currently all stuck in the stairwell entranceway Not only the entranceway, but the entire corridor was full of the click-clack sounds of things being dragged It was as congested as rush hour traffic, so packed that even water h the cracks

As he finished, he turned back to Xie Yu ”Old Xie, come over?”

Xie Yu didn't react
He Zhao repeated hio help the hope of the entire village with his nued into the conversation for no reason: ”……”
Wan Da glanced left and then glanced right He e hadn't said a word, his silence spoke volumes He could understand from He Zhao's face: Please read the room I want my deskmate to help, so don't you dare come over and try
So Wan Da turned around and pretended not to have heard ”Ah, why aren't theyto last?”
Xie Yu: ”……”
He Zhao ed the chair back and put the safety pins and the nu on the desk “Sorry to trouble you, little friend”
Xie Yu took the safety pin and seriously considered pricking hi the back of his chair, his back to Xie Yu Wan Da stood in the doorway and shot him a complicated look He Zhao sesture in the air
Wan Da shook his head; he couldn't bear watching any longer
Xie Yu pinned the number on He Zhao's shi+rt with a safety pin in each of the four corners When he was done, he et lost, and said dismissively, “Done”
He Zhao put a hand to his back and realized Xie Yu had done quite an attentive job, and was about to praise hiain
Class 3 had had bad luck and was assigned the corner of the stadiue, under the hot sun
Each of the classes walked in square fored clothes in the indoor court's toilet and noalked right in front, holding the class flag He Zhao and Xie Yu walked side by side right behind hi's words: He Zhao and Xie Yu are the faces of our class They'll hold up everything for us
Xu Qingqing had ,' but everyone from the other classes didn't think so
When they looked at Class 3'sformation, the only eroundBros of the East and West buildings in front leading ave the impression that they were ready to roll up their sleeves and start a brawl at any second
Terribly, terribly wild
So even though Luo Wenqiang earing such audacious clothes, no one dared laugh at him
”What's up with this lot,” He Zhao turned his head slightly and said ”No one's laughing? Is it not funny? Everyone was so excited when next door's Crossdressing Big Bro walked out Did we not measure up? Did we lose?”
Xie Yu said, ”Maybe he's too ugly”
Luo Wenqiang, who had taken a sword to the heart, thought, …Have you considered s?
The sportsdistance event would be held on the afternoon of the second day Today, they would only participate in the push-up event that was taking place in the indoor court
Although it was already autu in the sky and it felt a little hot
He Zhao took off his jacket and lay it over his head to block out the sun He glanced down at his phone and saw that Da had sent hio
The subject line was, Live broadcast of the two hottest big bros in school – Doing! Push!+ Ups! I've already exploded like fireworks!
There were already more than a thousand replies and the topic stayed at the top of the school board, a sea of red ¹
He Zhao opened a few of the threads, and his instinctive reaction was to close out of the browser, as if he had just picked up a hot potato He couldn't tell if it was because the sun was too hot or if he had suddenly started burning up froain
After a while, He Zhao opened up the forue'
There were three i was bad and the person taking photos also hadn't dared openly take the photographs, perhaps aware of their guilt, so the photos were out of focus—blurry and suggestive
Although the photos weren't in focus, the twomouth, wouldn't have just sent it to He Zhao, he had probably sent it to the whole class
He Zhao tentatively nudged Xie Yu with his arm and asked, ”…Did–did you see it?”

Xie Yu looked at him ”Which one?”
In the end, He Zhao beckoned to hier and Xie Yu scooched over withto Xie Yu to come in, and the two squeezed in under the jacket, head to head The phone rested on He Zhao's thigh and Xie Yu had to lean in and look down to see
