Monday morning was the customary flag-raising ceremony. Apart from being the monitor of the third administrative class and the tenth teaching class, Yu Rui was also the student representative who did his part in speaking under the flag every school year.
Due to this reason, he couldn't be late, so he could only send Yuli to Machisui Elementary School, which had no students yet.
Yu Rui was very worried about having Yu Li wait alone in front of the elementary school that had not yet opened the school gate.
But the time was limited, and he had to reserve it for the road, so Yu Rui had to prepare to leave after being with him for a while.
Xie Li, who had been sitting leaning against the parked bicycle under the tree, got up, "I'm here to accompany her, you go first."
Yu Rui looked back unexpectedly, "...you'll be late."
"You think I'm afraid of being late?" Xie Li smiled.
Yu Rui hesitated.
"Let's go, big monitor, thousands of students are still waiting for you to make chicken soup under the red flag."
Xie Li walked over directly, held Yu Rui by the waist, and pressed the person onto the bicycle seat.
Yu Rui furrowed his brows subconsciously.
He was not used to being in close contact with people, but Xie Li just acted as if he was just trying to urge him to leave - it was naturally a good intention, he couldn't blame the other party for infringing on the distance he was used to keeping from people.
Yu Rui tried his best to brush away the man's hand, which was still on his waist, pressing the back seat of the bicycle, "I see. Are you really okay?"
"Yeah." Xie Li's eyes deepened. He straightened up and lowered his arms calmly. "Let's go."
"… thanks."
There was really not much time left, Yu Rui and Yu Li hurriedly bid farewell to them and left.
When the back of Yu Rui, who had been watching Yu Rui, disappeared from sight, Xie Li withdrew his gaze a little unfinished.
He dropped his gaze.
Yu Li stood obediently on the steps and looked in his direction quietly.
Xie Li walked over and sat down to the top of the three steps where the girl was standing, with those long legs hitting the ground under the steps.
It's too early, and the store in the back hasn't opened yet, so he doesn't need to worry about getting in the way and affecting the other's business.
Xie Li turned his head, "Sleep for a while?"
Yu Li was stunned and shook his head.
She felt that after her brother left her sight, Xie Li seemed to have become a little different—the emotions in her eyes were much more lazy, and she looked listless and lifeless.
It's as if the machine toy has had its "battery" pulled out.
Xie Li asked, "Yu Rui comes to take you to school every day, and only then will you go to school?"
Yu Li returned to her senses and nodded, "My brother has to go back and forth between home and school. It's very hard. I said he didn't need to send it, but he was worried."
"No other elders help him?"
"Elder..." Yu Li shook her head and lowered her head again, "Brother said that my mother died when I was very young, and there is only that person in the family. That person is not a father, he never cares about us, he is always drunk, always Scolding my brother, I used to steal my brother's hard-earned money... It's all because of him that my brother has worked harder."
Listening to Yu Li's words, Xie Li gathered his knuckles and pinched unconsciously. He remembered the very pale red mark he saw on Yu Rui's cheek last week.
Before, he thought it was the result of the dispute between the appearance of San Haosheng's squad leader Yu and his mysterious girlfriend who was hiding in the dark, but now, it is more likely to be the epitome of domestic violence.
Yu Rui…
Desire for such a person is self-inflicted.
Not only have to endure the torment of desire, but also have to bear the condemnation of conscience.
— Before even getting to know Yu Rui, he thought he had long since lost the latter thing.
Sheryl smiled to himself.
He turned his head, stretched out his hand and rubbed the girl's head, "Okay, don't be sad. Brother Xie Li will be here in the future, and he won't make your brother work so hard, and he won't let anyone bully him again. That person will also be there. no."
Yu Li raised her head, full of hope, "Really?"
"Yeah." Xie Li thought for a while, "Yu Rui bought you a mobile phone?"
"Well. My brother was afraid that something would happen to me, so he said he would call him if something happened."
"Then I'll give you my cell phone number—you can call me when he's in business."
"Thank you, Brother Li!"
"Well, tell me something else about him then?"
"it is good!"
At this time, Yu Rui, who was riding on the road, didn't know that his own big and small matters and habits had been used by his own sister to "change" Xie Li's phone number.

The flag-raising ceremony is over, and it's time to go back to the early self-study. After entering the classroom, Yu Rui deliberately glanced at his back table - it was empty.
Xie Liren hasn't come yet.
The smile on the face of the boy who was talking to his classmates stopped, and he quickly covered it up, and he walked into the classroom.
Starting this week, Tian Xueqian, the head teacher, who is late for early self-study is no longer caught by himself, but takes turns "on duty" in the class committee organization that has been determined last week.
This Monday's shift committee member happened to be Yu Rui's "acquaintance", Pei An'an, the girl he was assigned to from the third class when he was a freshman in high school.
When the students entered the classroom one after another, Pei An'an took the notebook arranged by Tian Xueqian specially for the duty committee to record lateness and went to the door of the classroom.
The position didn't change last week, and Yu Rui still had his own table. After thinking about it, he moved his sitting position from near the aisle to the window. Under the window is the bicycle area of their class. If Xie Li came, he could see it immediately.
Yu Rui spent half a quarter doing self-study in the morning. After waiting for nearly 20 minutes, he finally waited for Xie Li to appear in his field of vision pushing a bicycle.
That's really not in a hurry.
Yu Rui was so anxious that he wanted to laugh after preparing to do "bad things" all morning. He clasped the small paper ball he had prepared in his palm, and when Xie Li was about to go downstairs, he raised his hand and tossed it out—
downstairs.
Xie Li just stopped the bicycle when a small ball of paper slapped him on the body, then rolled to the ground, and after a few bounces, it stopped not far from his feet.
"..." The irritable man who hadn't slept well climbed up Jun Lang's eyebrows along the softly rolled Adam's apple, and Xie Li raised his head while suppressing the fire.
Then he met Squad Leader Yu's handsome face with a sunny smile but bad eyes.
The anger immediately vanished, twisting into another kind of desire and desire in Xie Li's eyes. He stared at Yu Rui for two seconds and smiled.
"Squad leader, the high-altitude parabola starts in three years."
"…!"
Xie Li's voice was not hidden at all. Although the voice of reading and reciting in the classroom was not small, there was still a faint sense of something with the tip of the ear, and turned to look at the window here—
Yu Rui had already returned to his seat in an instant when Xie Li spoke.
So when the students in the class came over, they saw that their monitor was very devoted to reading something silently.
outside.
Seeing that Yu Rui disappeared faster than a rabbit, Xie Li tutted regretfully. He bent down, picked up the small ball of paper that fell beside his long legs, and spread it out.
"Enter through the back door."
It was the familiar, beautiful and powerful handwriting.
Xie Li hooked the corner of his mouth, picked up his backpack and walked towards the building door.
Stepping on the steps of the stairs, Xie Li caught a glimpse of the boy's figure on the glass of the door—
The people inside wiped away the laziness and boredom they had been through all the way, and their eyes were filled with deep and greedy excitement.
... can't hide.
—
Anticipating that Xie Li was about to go upstairs, Yu Rui took out a book of exercises, got up and walked towards the front door of the classroom.
Many students noticed the movement and raised their heads curiously. After noticing that it was Yu Rui, most of them turned their attention back. Anyway, it was the schoolboy Yu who was up, the one who was most likely to violate the rules and regulations in the whole school. nice.
Yu Rui didn't stop until the door of the classroom.
Pei Anan, who was standing by the door, heard the voice and turned around to see that it was Yu Rui. She was stunned, "Squad leader?"
"The question you asked me last week, I found two new ways of solving the problem and corresponding methods, and the second step will be easier, come and see..."
The exercise book was flipped over in Yu Rui's hand, and a gel pen was sandwiched between his slender index and middle fingers, pointing to the question or jotting down key points from time to time.
Pei An'an listened attentively after being stunned, but Yu Rui was focused on two things.
Halfway through the second method, he finally saw Xie Li walking up.
Yu Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
He gave Xie Li a sign, and then lowered his gaze and focused on the topic. The knowledge points related to solving the problem were quickly thrown out by him, and Pei Anan had to follow up the idea with all his attention, and he didn't notice that there was a " Late" walked from the corridor behind him to the back door of the classroom, and pushed the door in...
Xie Li rarely cooperated, and the sound of opening and closing the door was so soft that it was difficult to detect in the chaotic recitation.
He really didn't care about being late, but Squad Leader Yu worked so hard... Xie Li looked at the door in front of him with a half-smile, and followed the gap in the last row to the innermost corner.
The last table in the row from them was Qiao Shengyu, who was sitting on the bench right now and laughing at the same table with him.
"... You also think Pei An'an is interested in Brother Rui, right? I figured it out when I was in the third class!"
Xie Li stopped.
He just passed behind Qiao Shengyu. He didn't know if his eyes were too cold or the air pressure was too low. Qiao Shengyu, who had just finished speaking, felt a chill in his neck, turned his head to look, and almost slipped out of the stool to the ground in fright.
"Li, Li Ge?"
Xie Li glanced at him darkly, then raised his eyes.
Qiao Shengyu was one of the few students in the school who knew about this person's deeds. At this moment, he swallowed and raised his head subconsciously.
Then he saw the direction he was looking at at first—
At the front door of the classroom, a handsome boy and a quiet and lovely girl stood sideways, holding the same exercise book and discussing something.
The boy's eyebrows were warm and quiet, with a mild smile on his face. The girl was cramped, and occasionally glanced at the boy's side face, and hurriedly turned her head back.
The more he looked, the lower the air pressure around Qiao Shengyu felt.
After a long silence, Qiao Shengyu felt as if he understood something. He turned his head and forced a smile.
"Brother Li... Do you like Pei An'an too?"
