Half an hour later.

"Slow down!" As soon as Teacher Yao's little Qingqi arrived at the entrance of Yu Luying's alley, Xiao Yao jumped out of the back seat.

He didn't stand firm, staggered, and held on to the wall to keep himself from falling.

I casually told the teacher that it was okay and ran away.

I trotted all the way to the wooden door downstairs from Yu Luying, raised my hand and knocked.

Boom, boom, boom! No one answered the door, but the phone vibrated.

Yu Luying's cell phone, which had been left unanswered, actually took the initiative to call her.

"Go away quickly," the girl lowered her voice and said eagerly, "My mother will be even more angry when she sees you!"

"It's okay," Xiao Yao said, "Teacher Yao is here."

"I'm fine, please leave quickly." After Yu Luying said that, she hung up the phone.

Xiao Yao was startled and didn't know whether to continue knocking on the door. Teacher Yao behind him also rushed over.

At this time, the wooden door in front of me opened with a creak.

"Oh, Teacher Yao!" The short-haired woman had a smile on her face. She brushed Xiao Yao away and greeted Teacher Yao: "Teacher Yao, why are you here without even saying a word?"

"Ah, this..." Teacher Yao looked a little embarrassed: "Classmate Xiao Yao said that Yu Luying might have encountered a problem and insisted on coming over to have a look. I didn't worry about him running around this late at night, so I sent him here.

"

"Oh, don't talk here, please come upstairs!" Yu's mother seemed to have just seen Xiao Yao: "Xiao Yao, right? You can come too."

"No, no, no..." Xiao Yao waved his hands: "As long as Yu Luying is fine, I'll go back first."

Yu's mother obviously had no intention of staying. Teacher Yao and Xiao Yao told him to go home early and remember to do their homework. Then they also went upstairs, leaving Xiao Yao alone, looking at the closed wooden door and the stairs upstairs.

The lighted glass windows were stunned for a while.

Did you mean that a domestic violence incident occurred?

Xiao Yao recalled the cruel memory of being beaten by a mixed male and female team when he was a child because he was naughty and didn't do his homework.

But for a good student and good girl like Yu Luying, what exactly...? Besides, the attack would be a bit too harsh, right?

On the way home, Xiao Yao called Shen Jie.

"You promised to call me after school?" Xiao Yao originally wanted to complain in a half-joking tone, but when he said it, he felt that his tone was off.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Jie was silent.

"I'm sorry," Xiao Yao softened his tone: "I'm not——"

"I called, right after the karate club ended," Shen Jie said quietly, "I called several times but the line was busy."

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had been calling Yu Luying on the way here.

"I'm sorry, I didn't keep fighting and failed to meet your expectations of me. I will pay attention next time."

Shen Jie's words sounded like mockery, but her tone was serious and sincere.

"No..." Xiao Yao held up his forehead: "Are you angry?"

"I don't dare." Shen Jie said.

That means being angry, Xiao Yao thought.

"Okay, don't be angry..."

"Where is Shen Tianyun?" Shen Jie casually changed the subject.

"I don't know, I haven't gotten home yet." Xiao Yao said.

"Did you go to an Internet cafe again? Play that "Bloodline II"?" Shen Jie said with a hint of joking in her tone: "I also downloaded it today."

"I didn't go to the Internet cafe. I didn't go today. I went to study hard." Although I didn't study at all: "Have you registered?"

"Well," Shen Jie replied from her nose: "I chose the elf mage."

"Mages and knights don't work well together..." Xiao Yao muttered.

"Then what do you want me to practice?"

No, why is this all your fault?

"I..." Xiao Yao said.

On the other end of the phone, another woman's voice came, and then Shen Jie turned around and shouted: "Hey! I'm on the phone with my classmate, I'll be here in a minute!"

"Well……"

"Xiao Yao," Shen Jie answered the phone again: "I can't chat for too long. Are you free this weekend?"

"As long as you ask me out, I'll be free even if I don't have time."

"It's the birthday of one of our classmates," Shen Jie paused: "I'm going to the cashier, do you want to come with me?"

"Okay." Xiao Yao agreed: "What is the cash box? Is it a hotel?"

"KTV..." Shen Jie's voice sounded speechless.

"My classmate celebrated his birthday and went to KTV to sing all night long. So Shen Tianyun learned it from you?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "This really has its mother..."

"...We are in the afternoon." Shen Jie said.

"Oh, I'm joking." Xiao Yao realized that the other person didn't think it was funny.

"The specific time and address will be sent to you later," Shen Jie said, "I'm hanging up."

"Hey, wait a minute..."

"Um."

Xiao Yao composed himself: "Is your mother very strict with you?"

"Yeah?" the girl said, "It's okay, just so-so."

"Will your mother beat you?"

"Never fought."

Xiao Yao returned home, watched TV with his grandma and chatted for a while, then returned to his room and locked the door.

He walked through the mirror. It was already half past ten in the evening, and the lights in Shen Tianyun's room were still out.

Xiao Yao took out his homework book from his schoolbag and began to write his homework carefully.

Xiao Yao felt comfortable.

His mind and thinking are obviously clearer than last week.

Considering that he had somehow learned Yu Luying's cooking skills, Xiao Yao was almost certain that the symbiosis with Yu Luying also had a positive impact on his learning ability.

Did he share Yu Luying's knowledge? Or was it her mind?

When I finished my homework, it was almost past twelve o'clock, and Shen Tianyun finally came back.

"Where have you been?" Xiao Yao put the pen aside and asked calmly.

"Dance in the square." Shen Tianyun held the wall with one hand and took off the white and green sneakers from her feet with the other.

"If you dance in the square to this point, won't you be accused of disturbing the public?" Xiao Yao thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let me ask you something."

"Ask." Shen Tianyun threw the green boat socks into the dirty clothes basket in the corner of the room, and pulled a towel to wipe the sweat on her face.

"Will your mother beat you?"

"I've never been beaten before," Shen Tianyun said matter-of-factly: "Why don't you ask if you can beat me?"

"I really want to beat you right now. If, I say if," Xiao Yao considered his words: "Suppose someone in your class lost something in the classroom, and everyone thought you stole it, what would you do? "

"What should I do?" Shen Tianyun sat down on the edge of the bed, put one leg flat on the other knee, and put a jade hand into the gap between his toes: "Whoever said it was you, you will go to him, and He reasoned clearly in person and took action when words failed."

"Stop picking your feet! Why is such a pretty girl so careless...?" Xiao Yao scolded.

"Annoying." Shen Tianyun muttered, put his feet down, put his middle finger in front of his nose and smelled.

"No," Xiao Yao continued: "What if there is no specific person who framed you? No one comes to trouble you, it's just that everyone thinks so privately."

"Then read a poem, carve out a deep mountain with thousands of hammers, and be burned by fire as if it were nothing. I won't be afraid of being shattered into pieces." Shen Tianyun was nonchalant at first, but seeing Xiao Yao's face looking ugly, she stuck out her tongue again: " Catch the thief and clear his name?"

Xiao Yao nodded: "I think so too, but how to check? The teacher doesn't support it."

"The teacher doesn't support it...then call the police and call for surveillance." Shen Tianyun said: "The school has surveillance. As long as the school doesn't pretend to be blind, let alone stealing things, you will get deducted conduct points for picking your feet in class."

"Where are there cameras in the classroom?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes: "How about invading privacy rights?"

"Invasion of privacy? You said the same thing when you took me to the school to report. You see, the one in my room was later demolished. Is there a (Magic City dialect, so) there are always school corridors?"

--Dividing line--

After arriving at school the next day, Xiao Yao noticed that Zhou Qi's seat was empty.

"Where is Zhou Qi?" the school committee asked him when collecting homework.

"How do I know? She is not me... or anyone."
