There are only a few passengers on the bus late at night, and when you sit in the last row, you will have the illusion of being in an empty square.
Zhu Yu swayed from side to side following the bumpy road conditions, and the rearview mirror on the driver's seat directly in front reflected the situation at this moment.
The girl on the right is leaning her upper body forward, holding her chin up and looking out the window in boredom. Her black hair hangs down neatly from her back, and the ends of her hair are slightly swaying.
To Lin Suicao's right, An Baizhi looked a little nervous because she was in the path of her sight.
She laid her schoolbag across her lap and grasped its shoulder strap.
"Um, can you stop looking at me like this?"
"I'm not looking at you, I'm admiring the night view outside."
The conversation between the two was like a gear mixed with pebbles, getting stuck here, creating an atmosphere of silence.
Classmate Bai Zhi, who was sitting by the window, looked at her for help.
"I didn't expect you to take this bus home. What a coincidence."
After receiving the signal, Zhu Yu raised the topic in a good tone.
"Because I used to ride a bicycle to school, but today..."
"The car broke down. Is it still parked there?"
She nodded through the Suicao in the middle: "I plan to find someone to repair it."
Lin Suicao looked away from the window and glanced to the left: "The news is so good, senior -"
She deliberately lengthened the end of her voice, imitating the teasing tone unique to a little girl.
An Baizhi helped explain: "Because it was broken when I came to school in the morning, Zhu Yu helped me carry it to the parking lot at that time."
"Oh, it's nice to help others."
Lin Suicao remembered the conversation in the morning and stared at Zhu Yu.
[It turns out that this is the reason why I was almost late waiting at the school gate. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Even if I had told you earlier, I would not forgive you. 】
Beneath the other party's seemingly complimentary appearance, Zhu Yu seemed to have hallucinated such stressful words.
"Speaking of which, who is this senior?"
She said as if she just remembered to ask this question now.
"Didn't you just meet me at noon? My deskmate."
And he also commented on other people’s appearance.
"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it."
An Baizhi became stronger, "Even if I saw Zhu Yu again in the classroom ten minutes later after helping me in the morning, I am confident that he has forgotten about it."
"You'd better not have such confidence! Besides, I haven't forgotten that there is another reason for not saying hello to you."
Even if Zhu Yu reminded him, Lin Suicao still couldn't evoke any impression.
"Anyway, we are classmates. Congratulations on making friends of the opposite sex on your first day of school. Remember to take the time to answer a few questions?"
She clearly meant this with sarcastic intent.
"Actually, it was the teacher who asked us to supervise each other's studies."
The bus was about to arrive. An Bai Zhi unzipped her schoolbag and checked if she had forgotten anything. "I also didn't expect that Mr. Lin would quarrel with others."
Whether with the intention of retaliating or not, she shifted her focus to the quarrel she had just witnessed at the station.
"Do you know me?"
"Generally, everyone will be more or less impressed by the student representative who delivers the speech."
"I won't. The people on the stage torture the audience by telling nonsense that they may not believe. The latter are in pain but have to applaud me, and then clear their brains at the moment of disbandment. This is a positive interaction."
"benign……?"
An Baizhi looked at her for help again.
"Yes, that's her kind of character. Is her fantasy disillusioned?"
Zhu Yu actively explained from the sidelines, "The image of a top student in school is just a disguise!"
"I don't quite understand what the senior said."
Lin Suicao pointed his fingers in a threatening manner and aimed his eyes at his waist.
"You go home from school together again, and you talk casually like this-"
She packed her schoolbag again and tilted her head slightly, as if thinking.
"Have we known each other for a long time?"
"Longyuan East Road Station - here."
Her question sounded at the same time as the arrival signal sounded.
An Baizhi's home was unexpectedly nearby. After getting off the bus at the same station, walk a few hundred meters in the opposite direction to Zhu Yu and the others and you'll find her residence.
They might have met several times on this street before he was admitted to the hospital.
"It turns out that you are from elementary school living in the same community."
The temperature in early autumn still had the lingering aftertaste of midsummer. An Baizhi had already taken off her school uniform jacket and held it in her right hand, revealing the white shirt underneath.
When she stood under the street lamp, her porcelain-white skin seemed to be covered with a glimmer of light, making her look like the bright moon.
"Yes, we are neighbors who live close to each other."
Lin Suicao casually made up lies, "Isn't he repeating his studies this year? I have to be responsible for supervising this person's campus life. If there is anything wrong in the future, I hope my senior will tell me."
She used this as a reason to exchange contact information with the other party.
"That's it."
An Baizhi sighed in a low voice, "I only have younger brothers and sisters. I didn't expect to see my so-called childhood sweethearts in reality."
Lin Suicao, who added a new setting to himself, took a few steps forward and put his hand on An Baizhi's shoulder.
She was a little shorter, but not so tall that she had to stand on tiptoes to close the distance.
So when she did this, it was just to increase her own sense of oppression.
"It would be very troublesome if it were leaked. Senior sister should also be able to guess that there will be some nefarious people who will make noises all day long. Then it will affect my studies. I may even be so psychopathic that I go to school to stab someone with a knife."
"Normally it won't come to the end, right?"
"So, before it develops into an extreme situation and embarks on the road of juvenile crime, please keep it secret, senior sister."
Suicao gently handed over the knife and poked An Baizhi's waist mischievously.
She trembled like a frightened rabbit, immediately distanced herself, and hid behind Zhu Yu.
"I, I'm going back."
"Goodbye, stay safe."
After saying goodbye, the three of them separated at the station.
After taking a few steps, another call suddenly came from behind.
"By the way, Zhu Yu."
After getting out of the halo of the street lamp, An Baizhi stood in the watery night, maintaining a light and ordinary tone.
She raised her hand and waved.
"See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
They said goodbye to each other like friends who were used to finishing school together.
Lin Suicao clasped his hands behind his back and did not stop to respond to irrelevant greetings.
"I think it would be better for you not to apply for home study."
When Zhu Yu caught up, she suddenly looked ahead and said.
"Why?"
"Wouldn't that mean we lose the opportunity to go home with our good-looking roommate?"
"I cherish the opportunity to have dinner with my beautiful childhood sweetheart even more."
The corners of Lin Suicao's lips curved, but in the end he did not form a smile.
She turned around and corrected.
"Not my childhood sweetheart, and not my sister."
"It's my girlfriend."
The girl insisted.
