Chapter 98 Returning to the classroom for the first time

The homeroom teacher's car was parked across the street, next to a vending machine.

Xiao You stared longingly at the drink on the menu, then glanced at the one in her hand, her Adam's apple bobbing as she said, "I'll go buy a bottle of water..."

Lin Huai stared straight at him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and took the lead.

Two bottles of Coca-Cola and one bottle of mineral water.

Lin Huai casually took Xiao You's Pepsi back and put it back in his bag.

"Aren't you going to throw it away?" Xiao You asked.

Are you suggesting I take it home and keep it as a keepsake?

“Yes, it’s not a waste,” Lin Huai said.

"I've already drunk it, what good will it do for you to take it back?"

"Cleaning the toilet," Lin Huai said sincerely.

Xiao You exclaimed in surprise, "What a talent!"

Actually, Lin Huai's first impression of him wasn't that bad. It was his own problem that he couldn't properly face this person who looked like Wen Jing.

I didn't want to sit with Lin Huai, but after the homeroom teacher got on the bus, he put his bag on the passenger seat.

He had to sit in the back.

The car was not very spacious, and the two tall boys squeezed the back seat so that there was almost no extra space.

The scent of laundry detergent on Lin Huai made Xiao You lose her composure.

Xiao You leaned over, grabbed the collar, and took a deep breath.

A few seconds later, the car started, and Lin Huai finally spoke, "Do you like my scent?"

Xiao You quickly moved to the corner, trying her best to avoid touching Lin Huai's shoulder; she had just lost her composure again.

"Cough cough, it smells quite nice."

Lin Huai casually leaned one hand against the window, looking at the scenery going in the opposite direction, and said, "It's newly bought, with a light jasmine scent."

"What?" Xiao You couldn't believe her ears.

A few hours ago, a man had said the same thing to me.

“I meant laundry detergent,” Lin Huai added.

Riding his bike smoothly on the road, Xiao You opened a can of cola and took a sip, trying to calm his turbulent emotions. After finishing, he put the cap back on, then slammed on the brakes at a red light. His hand slipped, and the bottle rolled into the passenger seat.

Hearing the noise, the homeroom teacher glanced back and said, "Did the water fall? I hope no one was hit. I was going to rush over, but I failed, hahaha."

Xiao You hummed in agreement. He understood the feeling, but his homeroom teacher's driving skills were probably about the same as his own back then.

He was about to bend down to pick it up when Lin Huai had already bent down, his sharply defined profile brushing against Xiao You's thigh.

The touch of their skin, even through the fabric, conveyed a slight warmth. Touched by Lin Huai, Xiao You instinctively reached out to push him away.

Then, as soon as his palm touched Lin Huai's hair, which was buried under his legs, he realized that this position was even more inappropriate.

He transformed the pushing motion into a supporting one.

"Be careful, don't hit your head, the teacher is driving recklessly..."

Seeing that Lin Huai didn't react, he guiltily touched Lin Huai's hair again, "Your... hair feels nice."

For some reason, Lin Huai still didn't make a move.

You can't exactly lift someone up by the head.

Could it be that his head is stuck?

Just as he was about to help, Lin Huai turned his head to look at him and said, "Stop touching it! I'm still taking out your Coke. It's rolled too far inside!"

...

Xiao You pulled her hand back. "Sorry, I thought you had it stuck inside."

Without Xiao You's interference, Lin Huai took out the bottle immediately.

"What were you thinking? You think my head would get stuck in your thigh?"

It's not that it's impossible...

Xiao You blushed instantly, recalling certain embarrassing poses.

After glancing at Lin Huai's innocent eyes, he slapped his cheeks twice to wake himself up.

They're still students, what kind of filthy nonsense are you thinking about!

Just then, a kitten darted out from the roadside, and the car braked suddenly.

Xiao You was jolted by the sudden braking and leaned forward. He froze as he reached for the seat in front of him.

Lin Huai hugged him.

The boy's hands were soft, and his chest was firm, which made Xiao You's legs feel weak.

“You…” Xiao You began hesitantly.

A moment later, Lin Huai released him, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Thinking that Lin Huai meant well, and that an ordinary male student wouldn't take advantage of him at a time like this.

He completed the sentence, "You...are so handsome."

Xiao You thought that he must have really suffered a concussion to say such a thing.

It's better not to say anything.

The homeroom teacher's car stopped for a while, but the kitten still wouldn't leave.

She got out of the car and brought the cat inside, saying, "I'll take it to a cat rescue center later; it's so pitiful."

Neither Lin Huai nor Xiao You spoke.

When they entered the classroom, the class was halfway through.

The English teacher filled the blackboard with grammar points and example sentences, and chalk dust drifted freely in the sunlight.

Xiao You and Lin Huai reported their arrival one after the other and entered through the front door.

Only two seats in the last row are left.

Throughout the entire walk, all the students in the class stared at him, leaving the English teacher speechless.

She cleared her throat and said, "What's so interesting about two handsome guys? If you want to see someone, look at me, this great beauty!"

The students were amused.

Xiao You opened her schoolbag, tidied up her things, and then looked at Lin Huai at the table next to her. There was nothing there.

He adjusted his posture, lowered his head, covered his mouth, and whispered, "Hey deskmate, don't you have any books?"

Lin Huai spread his hands and leaned back on the chair, adopting the posture of a vice president.

What kind of book does he need? With just this little bit of English knowledge, how could it possibly stump him?

Lin Huai shook his head.

Xiao You spread the book out, pressed it down, moved it closer to the center, and then tossed a pen over.

"I'll lend you the book, and you can take notes for me."

Lin Huai sat up straight. "What I meant by shaking my head was that I don't need books, not that I don't have any."

"Oh..." Xiao You took the book back, thinking to herself, "See how capable you are."

Just then, the bell rang, and Xiao You lay on her desk.

Before long, a crowd of people gathered around, chattering excitedly.

"Lin Huai, you just transferred here, so let me know if you need anything, I'll be happy to help!"

"Don't you have the book yet? I'll go to the office and get you a set later!"

“If you don’t get along with your deskmate, you can change seats and sit next to him. Xiao You is a bit difficult to get along with. That’s just how he is. But he doesn’t mean any harm. He’s just a bit slow-witted and not good at socializing.”

Xiao You suddenly raised her head. "Hey you guys, if you're going to talk badly about someone, at least do it behind their back! I may be slow-witted, but I'm not deaf!"

Lin Huai gave him a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile, like a puppy.

So cute!

Several classmates around saw Lin Huai smile at Xiao You and all showed shocked expressions.

I thought the two might have some conflict or discord, but I didn't expect them to be so united and friendly.

Xiao You also smiled, but unlike Xiao You, he was faking it.

The first to speak was Xiao You's former best friend, Wang Haomai, "Am I seeing things? Lin Huai, did you smash his brain? Xiao You is actually smiling like a robot AI?"

Yangtze River asked, "Is something going on between them?"

Xiao You rolled her eyes. What could possibly be wrong?

"I know, they must be Little Azure Dragons, hiding a lot of little secrets!" Wang Bahang interjected with a grin.

Suddenly the three brothers exchanged glances and started singing, "I won't tell you, I won't tell you, I won't tell you!"

Lin Huai was so amused he almost fell over laughing. The cringeworthy life of a high school student was really too interesting.
