Mi Yang still received a cake the next day, but it was specially sent by Mi Zehai. As a father, he was very busy with work and had a little daughter, so he had to accommodate his sensible son. He didn't take care of his son on weekdays, but on special occasions, Mi Zehai would double his compensation for his son. This time, Mi Yang celebrated his birthday at school and couldn't go home at night, so he simply sent a cake and gave Mi Yang some pocket money. He didn't know what boys of this age liked, so he just let his son buy it himself.
Mi Yang shared the cake with his classmates, cut two pieces for himself, and took them back to the dormitory to eat with Bai Luochuan.
Young Master Bai specially cut a piece with words on it, which read "乐".
Bai Luochuan likes sweet food, so Mi Yang gave him his share of the cream. He prefers the soft cake base. After eating for a while, Mi Yang suddenly smiled: "Xiaoxue must be very disappointed this year. She waits for the cake three times every year, especially in summer. Our birthdays are close, and she counts the time on her fingers when July comes."
Bai Luochuan said: "This is easy, I can just buy a cake and send it to her later."
Mi Yang shook his head and smiled: "The cake I ate on my birthday was different."
Bai Luochuan stretched out his thumb to wipe the last piece of cream, and then smeared it on Mi Yang's face with his backhand: "How do you eat it? Is it like this?"
Mi Yang was caught off guard by him and almost fell on the bed when he tilted his head back. He kept begging for mercy with the small dining tray in his hand: "Alright, stop it. What if I mess with the bed later..."
Bai Luochuan said: "Then go sleep in my bed."
"I won't go. I can't squeeze in."
There was only one person in the dormitory washing clothes on the balcony, the sound of water splashing, the others hadn't come back yet, and outside the half-open door there were the sounds of classmates walking by, talking and laughing. Mi Yang sat beside him, squinting his eyes and eating cake in small bites, looking very happy, as if such a small dessert made him satisfied, and a cake was enough to celebrate his birthday.
Bai Luochuan looked at him, suddenly smiled, tapped his nose and said, "I have another gift."
Mi Yang looked up at him, "What?"
Bai Luochuan took something out of his pocket, held it in his hand and held it in front of him, saying: "But it's not just for you, I have a share too."
Mi Yang reached out to take it, and with a crisp sound of jingling, a pair of keys fell into his hand. They were the same as the ones used in their dormitory, with numbers written on them, quite close to the front.
Bai Luochuan stretched his arms and said, "There's no hope for a shift change, but we can change dormitories. I talked to my mom and asked her to help us change to a double room, which is slightly better than here."
Mi Yang was quite surprised, but he smiled while holding the key, and gave him a key and said, "Here, give it to your new roommate."
Bai Luochuan took it, tapped his forehead lightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Wrong, old roommate, when have you ever separated from me?"
Mi Yang thought about it, and it was true, it seemed like they had never been separated from childhood to adulthood. From the military training in the first year of high school to now, they have been sleeping separately for more than a month, which is considered a record.
As time was tight at noon, Mi Yang did not move out immediately and waited until the evening.
Bai Luochuan came to move with him. Master Bai couldn't wait to move there at noon. The dormitory was in the new building, and the dormitory for two people was in the old building next door, a few minutes away. The walls of the old building were covered with green vines, which was very cool in the summer. It looked a bit old from the outside, but the decoration inside was quite good. Most of the people living here were senior high school students, most of whom were preparing to study abroad, and a small number of international students would stay here.
The craze for studying abroad is still there, and many parents are working hard in this regard. Bai Luochuan's cousin Ji Baian was sent abroad since junior high school. The young masters in their circle have been sent abroad since elementary school. They are equipped with drivers and nannies to take care of them the whole time abroad. Except for their parents not being able to see them, they are given whatever they want.
Mi Yang and Bai Luochuan lived on the third floor. The room was about the same size as the previous dormitory, but since there were only two of them, there were two 1.5-meter single beds, as well as their own wardrobes and desks. The configuration was better than before.
The room had been carefully cleaned, and it was very clean. Mi Yang put away the reference books and clothes he brought. Bai Luochuan stood by the closet and looked around. When he saw that the annoying iron bunk beds were gone and he and Mi Yang were the only two people left in the room, he felt much better. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "How about it? Isn't this a good gift? After all, we've lived here for a few years, and I can't stand being separated from you all the time."
Mi Yang: "Your head teacher has to be on high alert again. Last time, he even came to ask our teacher Wen if she wanted to bring you back to our class."
Bai Luochuan asked curiously: "Can I get it over there?"
Mi Yang said: "You should let your classmaster worry less. He is on guard against you every day just like he is on guard against illegal immigrants. He is afraid that you will run away if he lets go."
Bai Luochuan laughed. There was no one else around. He leaned closer and whispered in Mi Yang's ear: "I saw our old class teacher writing a poem last time. I don't know who he wrote it for, but the words he used were particularly sour."
Mi Yang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe not. Doesn't he teach Chinese? Maybe he is preparing for class?"
Bai Luochuan affirmed: "It looks like a love letter to me."
He asked again: "Have you received it?"
Mi Yang said: "No, the school has just started. After the test, we have to prepare for the monthly exam. Everyone is very nervous and has no mood to do these things."
Bai Luochuan refused to leave. He knocked on his desk and asked, "I heard that you received one? It was from a school beauty. Many people are talking about it."
Mi Yang was a little confused: "School Belle? Who is our school belle?"
Bai Luochuan said: "Ningning from your class."
When Mi Yang was reminded by him, he remembered: "She didn't write me a love letter, but sent me two coupons from a milk tea shop, buy one get one free, saying that she didn't treat me to milk tea last time and wanted to make up for it." Mi Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This is too outrageous. There was not even an envelope at the time, and I just asked someone to help pass on the two coupons. How did it become a love letter?"
Bai Luochuan asked: "Do you want it?"
"No, I told her that my brother took me there to drink."
The boy who was tidying the closet opposite him said with a smile that extinguished the little flame in Master Bai's heart. Bai Luochuan's heart softened when he saw this man.
He hugged Mi Yang from behind, rubbed his head against his shoulder twice, and spoke to him in a low voice: "If you want to drink milk tea, I will take you there. Tell me what you want, and ignore those people."
Mi Yang nodded and said, "Okay."
Bai Luochuan added: "Also, don't keep looking at pretty girls. You should focus on your studies now, okay? I'm going to go out every weekend from now on. I have some things to do..." He said vaguely, but his tone was very sure, "I will make a lot of money. I will buy you whatever you want, but you have to be a good boy and don't fall in love too early, okay?"
Mi Yang asked him, "Are you going to help Aunt Luo?"
Bai Luochuan said: "Not necessarily, let's wait and see, I want to do something on my own."
He waited for Mi Yang to finish cleaning up, then urged him to wash up and sleep with him. However, this time he did not let Mi Yang go back to the bed next to him. Instead, he dragged him to his side. After turning off the lights, he talked more than usual, but did not let Mi Yang tell him a story. Instead, he chatted with Mi Yang in a low voice.
The bed was very small, so Bai Luochuan let Mi Yang sleep on the side against the wall. He turned over, resting his head on his arm, and asked him in a low voice, "Xiaoguai, where are you going to study in college?"
Mi Yang already has a major in mind, but the school hasn't thought about it yet. He hesitated and said, "Maybe I'll go to Beijing. I haven't decided yet. What about you?"
Bai Luochuan said: "Go wherever you want to go."
Mi Yang laughed at him. When Master Bai was in a good mood, his mouth was so sweet that it could kill people. Mi Yang whispered, "I'm the same as you."
Bai Luochuan didn't hear clearly: "Hmm?"
Mi Yang closed his eyes and smiled: "I will go where you want to go too."
The bed was not spacious, and it was a bit crowded for two people to sleep in each other's arms. Mi Yang originally thought that he would not sleep well at night, but after closing his eyes, his fingers habitually moved up to the pillow and touched Young Master Bai's pajamas. Although the fabrics he was rubbing were different, Young Master Bai's body felt warm, and he moved his fingers slightly a few times and fell asleep quickly.
I slept until dawn and had no dreams all night.
When Bai Luochuan woke up the next day, he was still a little lazy in bed. He rubbed Mi Yang's shoulder and falsely accused him: "You didn't sleep well last night. If I hadn't held you tightly, you would have kicked me off..."
Mi Yang didn't listen to him and pushed him, "Get up, you have to do morning exercises later." As if thinking of something interesting, he asked him again, "Don't you like morning jogging the most? Get up and exercise, squad leader Bai."
Squad leader Bai was not very happy about it, but he was dragged up anyway. He could only go back to his class with an unhappy look on his face.
The school has a morning run at 6:30 in the morning, which means running two laps in the playground and breathing fresh air. After running, it is morning self-study. Compared with other schools, this one is stricter. Each class is also assigned a sanitation area, and each class cleans it in the morning and evening.
Bai Luochuan's class teacher's surname is Dai, and his given name is Dai Shutong. Just hearing the name sounds like he is a literary creator. He is a slightly plump middle-aged man, unmarried, with a very good attitude. He smiles all day long and is happy to get along with his classmates. His biggest worry now is that his class monitor will defect to the enemy and run away to Class 2.
Comrade Lao Dai has been following the students since the morning exercises, exercising himself, and often visiting the class's sanitation area when cleaning.
When Lao Dai went to the sanitation area that morning, he saw the students working diligently, so he walked over to take a look and asked them, "Why didn't you bring a broom? The banyan tree is prone to dropping leaves, so it won't be cleaned properly. If you don't have tools, ask the monitor to go to my office to get them... Where's the monitor?"
Those students said, "The monitor just said the same thing. He went to get the tools!"
Old Dai was very pleased, but after waiting for a while, the monitor did not come back, so he asked another student to call the monitor, and rolled up his sleeves to start working while chatting with the students. Old Dai loved to work, but he felt awkward when the tools were not handy. After waiting for a long time, he did not see the student who had just called back Bai Luochuan, so he could not help but ask two students to run again and reminded him: "Be sure to bring the monitor back, and also, bring the tools back!"
The two students agreed and ran away.
Old Dai was busy in the sanitation area, sweeping fallen leaves, wiping bronze statues, and cleaning this small sanitation area. He was very hardworking! He could hum a song at first, but he couldn't hum after a while. It would be fine if the squad leader didn't come back, but why did the people who were sent to look for the squad leader all disappear without a trace
Old Dai cleaned the sanitary area by himself, feeling unhappy. After he finished, he went over to take a look and was furious. His classmates were helping Class 2 clean up under the leadership of the class monitor!
When he approached, he heard Bai Luochuan talking seriously to Teacher Wen of Class 2: "... You're welcome. This is what our brother class should do. Teacher Dai has always taught us to help others."
Old Dai: “…”
Although Mr. Wen thanked him repeatedly, Mr. Dai was still unhappy.
He called his class monitor to his office and asked him when no one was around: "Luochuan, tell the teacher seriously, are you in love?"
Bai Luochuan: “No.”
Old Dai said seriously, "Then why do you always go to help Class 2? Are you really not interested in the girls in their class?"
Bai Luochuan laughed and said, "No, you mean what happened in the sanitation area this morning? Their sanitation area is bigger than ours, and harder to clean, and there are more girls there."
Old Dai: "Isn't there another Mi Yang?"
Bai Luochuan said confidently, "He can't handle it alone. Didn't you see that Teacher Wen came to help in person? It's really difficult to handle. It won't delay things if he helps."
Old Dai said angrily: "I went to help you too! I went there every day, why don't you feel sorry for me?"
Bai Luochuan said: "I feel bad, please don't come next time."
Old Dai: “…”
If he doesn't keep an eye on it, the squad leader will take his men and go straight to Class 2!
After coming out of the office, Mao Yue and a few other boys happened to be walking along the corridor. When they saw him, they asked, "Brother Bai, what did Lao Dai say to you?"
Bai Luochuan said: "He didn't say anything, he just talked about cleaning the sanitation area in the morning, and he was worried that I would fall in love with the girl in Class 2 too early."
Mao Yue said with a smile: "Not only Lao Dai, I feel the same way too. You go there too often."
Bai Luochuan sneered, "Why are you only talking about me? Every time I go back, Old Dai follows me right after I get there. Why don't you say he's keeping an eye on Class 2?"
Squad Leader Bai, who was secretly in love, not only refused to admit it, but also tried to pass the blame and walked away.
The boys following behind Mao Yue looked at each other in bewilderment. Lao Dai was an older unmarried young man, and a very handsome guy. It was absolutely impossible for him to fall in love with an underage girl. The only possibility was the new female head teacher of Class 2, Teacher Wen.
Several boys looked at each other, and one of them suddenly said excitedly: "Hey, I think it's a bit reliable! Last time Brother Bai didn't go to Class 2, I also saw Lao Dai going there!"
"Yes, Lao Dai was very active in attending the classes in Class 2. He also attended the English class taught by Teacher Wen!"
"Last time, Mr. Dai wrote a poem. I saw it on his desk. Oh, Mr. Wen doesn't seem to have a boyfriend either?"
…
That afternoon, during the class meeting, Lao Dai stood on the podium and tried to blend in with everyone. After he finished talking about his own youthful love in high school, he reminded them, "I'm an experienced person and I know how you feel now. You're still young and it's easy for you to have a crush on girls, but we still don't support premature love. Academics are the priority, okay? After you go to college, you must try love once. Don't wait until you're as old as me, all alone and can only grade papers every day. Some students have so many mistakes in their papers that I can't sleep in the middle of the night just to correct your questions!"
The students in Class 1 looked at each other with gossip and encouragement. When Mr. Dai finished speaking, a boy took the lead and shouted in a low voice: "Teacher Dai, we support you!"
"Don't be afraid, Teacher Dai. We are all here to support you!"
"Come on, Teacher Dai!"
The students below cheered and supported him in finding true love. Old Dai was stunned for a moment, but soon said with great sorrow: "Why are you cheering for the teacher? Cheer for yourselves! You haven't even entered the first grade yet, how can I have the mood to fall in love!!"
But no matter what he said, after this class meeting, the students in Class 1 went to Class 2 more frequently. Sometimes, they didn't even need the monitor to lead the way. When they saw that Teacher Wen of Class 2 needed help, they immediately rushed over to do the work, and before leaving, they added a smile: "Teacher Wen, you're welcome. Our teacher Dai asked us to come. This is the obligation of the brother class!"
