Xueba, don't look at me, look at the question!

That night, Mu Nanyu and Bai Jingtan went to the self-study classroom. One wrote a [-]-word self-criticism on manuscript paper, and the other was busy listening to English listening questions.

After Mu Nanyu finished listening to a test paper, he glanced at the person beside him.

The manuscript paper in front of Bai Jingtan was already half full, the handwriting was clean and beautiful, and it looked like it was almost finished.

"Hey, do you know how to write a review?"

"Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig running?" Bai Jingtan finished writing the last full stop and collected the paper, "I'll hand in the review next week, and I'll do it for you."

"Can the Mediterranean agree?"

"can."

Mu Nanyu smiled happily, and suddenly realized something belatedly.

"What do you mean you haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run? Are you laughing at me when I was always punished by the teacher to write a review in high school?!"

Bai Jingtan shook his head: "No."

He rolled his eyelids, and said slowly, "Not only were you punished for writing in high school, but you were also punished for writing in junior high school and elementary school. When you wrote, you always covered the paper and refused to show me..."

Mu Nanyu kicked on the leg of his chair, making a nasty sound.

"Shut up! How dare you say that? If you hadn't reported me to the teacher for skipping class, I would have been punished?!"

"If I don't report you, do I wait for you to go to the Internet cafe and get arrested, and then ask Uncle Mu to go to the police station to get you?"

Mu Wenjun's set of military boxing left a deep shadow on Mu Nanyu's childhood, he shrank his neck and said firmly.

"How can my luck be so bad?"

"When Uncle Mu beat me up, I wasn't the one who knocked on my door and hid behind my grandma with snot and tears."

"Fuck, you are a student of law, don't exaggerate the facts! Who's running nose and tears? I just—"

Mo's hair was rubbed suddenly, the force was very gentle.

There was a smile in Bai Jingtan's voice, and the coldness faded away.

"You're just a little crying bag."

The little crying bag's ears turned red immediately, his eyebrows drooped, and he punched Bai Jingtan on the shoulder, cursing with a smile: "Get out, don't ruin my reputation!"

"Brother Yu and Brother Tan, what is ruining your reputation, what the hell is Cao Wu doing?"

Mu Nanyu turned around and saw Guan Fang sitting behind them with a bag.

"No, no. He is probably busy writing a 5000-word self-criticism while cursing in the dormitory. How can he have time to come out and be disgusting?"

"That's right, you two are so handsome today, the player who was kicked by Cao Wu is still in the freshman group @你两Thank you."

"By the way, Brother Tan, when is your next match? Is it also decided by lottery?"

"We have to wait until the group stage is over."

As soon as Mu Nanyu raised his ears, he saw Bai Jingtan reach out and tap the English paper twice with his fingertips.

"I don't know when the next competition is, but I know that the English Test Band [-] will be at the beginning of December—do you have a perfect score?"

I'm [-]/[-] out of [-].

Mu Nanyu swallowed his anger, put on his earphones and buried himself in writing the paper.

Perhaps it was because there were too many memories of communicating with Bai Jingtan in the self-study classroom. After the lights in the dormitory were turned off, as soon as Mu Nanyu closed his eyes, all the images of high school emerged in his mind.

The blue and white exterior walls of the teaching building, the noisy basketball court, the desks mottled by pencils and carving knives, the math teacher whose glasses are thicker than a beer bottle...

The boy with closed eyes and curled eyelashes suddenly sneered softly, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep...

"Mu Nanyu—Brother Yu!"

15-year-old Mu Nanyu responded, and saw two boys waving at him at the corner of the corridor of the high school teaching building.

Those were two students from the International Department. Their families were rich, and they had already completed the formalities for studying abroad. Coming to high school was just a formality.

One of the boys with stud earrings grinningly shouted: "Brother Yu, there is a new Internet cafe in the next street. The place is very remote, and no one will come to check the ID card. Let's play together in the afternoon. I'll treat you. How about it?"

"I got all the quota for the new game's internal test, which is just enough for the three of us to play. Do you want to go, Brother Yu?"

It was lunch break at noon, and there was no one in the corridor. Mu Nanyu glanced at the classroom, and Bai Jingtan was sitting in the corner of the last row, writing something with his head down.

"Go, of course!"

Mu Nanyu walked over quickly.

"In the afternoon, I will ask the head teacher for swimming training. You will wait for me at the security room at the school gate. Let's go together."

"Okay! Then let's go back to the classroom to get the leave note, Brother Yu, hurry up!"

Asking for leave from the class teacher went smoothly. Mu Nanyu is a good swimmer, and from time to time he has to leave school for special training. The teacher didn't suspect him, and gave him a leave of absence.

When he returned to the classroom to pack his schoolbag, Bai Jingtan was still sitting upright in his seat, without even raising his eyelids.

There is a thick stack of papers in hand, as if tireless, he quickly fills in the blanks of the test paper with ink.

Mu Nanyu carried her schoolbag and walked towards the back door of the classroom.

"Xiaoyu, where are you going?"

"Swimming training."

"I have seen your training schedule, there is no training today."

Mu Nanyu looked down at his watch, and it was less than 2 minutes before the time he and his friend agreed on.

"The training time has been changed." He frowned impatiently, "I'm leaving first, don't talk nonsense with my uncle."

He quickly ran out of the classroom.

"Brother Yu, take it, this is an internal test card! I managed to get it."

"Brother Yu, you can do it, how can you ask for leave?"

Mu Nanyu fiddled with the card in his hand, and smiled lazily.

"That's not easy, just tell the teacher that it's swimming training - our swimming team's training time is messed up, who remembers whether I want to train or not?"

They wandered out of the school gate.

"Brother Yu, I'm going to buy a few bottles of drinks, you - what the hell."

Mu Nanyu looked away from the internal test card and raised his head.

At the crossroads ahead, a tall and thin boy in a blue and white school uniform had a pocket in one hand and a schoolbag on one shoulder.

The amber phoenix eyes were cold, and when they focused on him, there was a trace of darkness.

"Grass." Mu Nanyu cursed and stopped, "How did Bai Jingtan come out?!"

"Bai Jingtan? Is he number one in that grade?"

"Ah."

"Then he's here to—"

They're here to get me.

Mu Nanyu managed to suppress his anger, watching Bai Jingtan walk up to him.

"Xiaoyu, follow me back to school."

He pushed back angrily: "Why?"

The other party's deep gaze fell on the in-game test card in his hand, expressionless.

"Because you didn't have swimming training today, because minors can't go to the Internet cafe, because Uncle Mu let you go to high school, not for you to come and play."

"Stop pressing me with my uncle—who are you?!"

"Okay, then you go to the Internet cafe. I'll go back and tell Uncle Mu now."

"you dare!"

"Why don't I dare?"

Mu Nanyu's cheeks were flushed, her breathing was a little rough, and she almost raised her fist.

The two classmates next to him pulled him: "Brother Yu, we leave us alone, what are you afraid of? Didn't he skip class himself? Why should he sue you?"

He stared at Bai Jingtan's cool eyes, froze for a while, and finally threw the internal test card back to the students in the International Department.

"Brother Yu, you—"

"It's my bad luck. I'll go back to class, okay? Don't you tell my uncle what happened today!"

"it is good."

Gritting her teeth, Mu Nanyu turned around, unable to find a place to vent her anger, saw Bai Jingtan following, and said coldly.

"Don't come with me, I fucking don't want to see you again!"

"……it is good."

The boy in his sleep furrowed his brows, suddenly smiled lowly and cursed, then opened his eyes suddenly.

He remembered the follow-up of this incident in the dream.

That night, his uncle learned from the parents of his classmates in the International Department that he almost skipped class to play games in an Internet cafe and was arrested by the police.

He picked up a feather duster and beat him.

At that time, he was still young, and he couldn't bear the pain very much. His palms were red from the beating, and he rushed to Bai Jingtan's house crying for his father and mother.

I have long forgotten that I just let go of the harsh words "I don't want to see you anymore".

Out of breath from crying, he knocked on the door desperately.

"Bai Jingtan, Bai...Tan, brother Tan, brother!"

"Open the door, open the door! Help!"
