"Grandpa Su, your wonton noodles are still the same, great."
Mo Jingchun picked up the steaming wonton and put it into his mouth, while giving a thumbs up to the cheerful Grandpa Su next to him with his free hand.
"Haha, Xiaochun is still so talkative." Grandpa Su nodded and looked at Jiang Li who was sitting next to him, "Jiang girl is much quieter now."
Jiang Li lowered his head and silently ate the wonton noodles in the paper bowl.
"There's nothing I can do. She's just like that." Mo Jingchun drank the last bit of soup in the bowl and burped with satisfaction. "Grandpa Su is done for now. Jiang Li and I will go back first."
Jiang Li tied up the wonton noodle bowl with a white plastic bag and held it in his hand, "Grandpa Su, we're leaving."
"Come often, Xiaochun and Jiang girl." Grandpa Su nodded happily.
"Yes."
After saying goodbye, the two left Grandpa Su, who had set up a stall under the banyan tree, walked to the street outside, found a trash can, and threw the trash in their hands into it.
"How is it? Do you want me to take you home?" Mo Jingchun said with his hands in his pockets.
Jiang Li shook his head. "No, I'll take the bus back."
"Okay," Mo Jingchun nodded, "Same as me, then let's go to the bus stop together."
The two walked to the nearest bus stop, and soon Jiang Li got on the bus, ending his evening.
Mo Jingchun was still standing at the bus stop waiting for the bus. He squinted his eyes and looked around, thinking about something in his mind.
After a few minutes, the bus arrived and Mo Jingchun got on and left.

"Quiet, be quiet, and listen to me finish my words." Teacher Liu stood on the podium and slapped it hard.
Although the students in Class 407 were very excited, they still had to listen to what their head teacher said, so they all started whispering to each other.
Teacher Liu was a little helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He pointed at the display screen on the blackboard, which listed the precautions and safety issues during the National Day holiday.
"During the seven-day National Day holiday, you must complete the homework assigned by teachers in all subjects carefully, and don't fall behind in the same homework."
"I understand~" the students below the podium stretched out their voices, as if they had been waiting for this day for a long time.
The hard life in senior high school is about to usher in a seven-day vacation, and everyone would be excited.
Teacher Liu held his forehead. In the past few years, senior high school students only had five days of vacation. Some student reported it to the Education Bureau, which forced the school leaders to change it back to seven days overnight.
Teacher Liu also smiled. The seven-day holiday meant that they, the teachers, had two more days off.
"But everyone has to fill out the sign-out form. Come, pass it on." Teacher Liu handed a white sheet to the students in the first row.
"If you want to leave the city or province, you must report to me in advance, okay?" Teacher Liu reminded.
"What are you planning to do?" Mo Jingchun took the sign-out form passed to him from the front row, wrote his name and departure time on it in a very confident manner, and then handed it to Jiang Li.
"Me?" Jiang Li reached out and took the sign-out form. "I want to work part-time."
After writing his own name, Jiang Li handed it to the classmate on the other side.
"Seven days, aren't you going out to play for seven days?" Mo Jingchun continued, "Your parents really don't care about you. Aren't you considering joining our Beggars' Sect?"
"No," Jiang Li forced a smile on his face, "If you guys have fun, I'll be happy too."
Mo Jingchun frowned and looked at the expression on Jiang Li's face, wondering if he had said something wrong?
If I had known you would say that... Mo Jingchun thought to himself. Although he didn't know why he did this, he still chose to abandon Xu Fan and Mo Ling.
"Those two..." Mo Jingchun imagined the possible expressions on Xu Fan and Mo Lin's faces. "They probably won't blame me, right? After all, this is like splitting up the troops."
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Li looked at Mo Jingchun who suddenly muttered to himself beside him and couldn't help but ask another question.
"Nothing, nothing." Mo Jingchun smiled awkwardly and waved his hand.
"Teacher, the sign-out form is ready." The last student who finished writing the sign-out form passed the white slip back to Teacher Liu.
Teacher Liu looked at the time and then at the sign-out form in his hand. The people under the podium had already turned into hungry wolves.
Some even carried backpacks and stepped one foot out of their seats, looking ready to go.
"I know you're anxious," Teacher Liu tapped the screen on the blackboard. "But please don't worry. We still have ten minutes. Can you use this time to look up more questions or do some homework?"
"Ouch."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a cry of grief from the audience below the podium. Only a few students who were studying hard still held their books and read as they listened to Teacher Liu.
Of course, most people were chatting and talking.
"Jiang Li," Mo Jingchun called out to his deskmate who was flipping through a book.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Li stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Mo Jingchun.
"If you want to join us, you can come anytime."
"Yeah," Jiang Li nodded, "I understand."
Mo Jingchun lay on the table and chose to play for ten minutes.
My head tilted to the side, still looking at the sky through the window. It was Wednesday afternoon, with layers of white clouds, obscuring the originally clear blue sky.
His thoughts slowly drifted away until the ringing of the bell brought Mo Jingchun back to his senses.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Everyone in Class 407 couldn't wait to get up from their seats. Without waiting for Teacher Liu to announce the end of get out of class, they rushed out from the front or back door and ran to the corridor outside.
"Really, these kids."
Teacher Liu shook his head, somewhat helplessly, but did not say much. Instead, he collected the water cup and lesson plan on the podium and followed them out of the classroom.
Everyone in the classroom had left, leaving only two people in the back row near the back door.
"Then, Jiang Li," Mo Jingchun also stood up from his seat, "I'm leaving too."
"Okay." Jiang Li nodded. She packed up and decided not to stay in school for too long when there weren't so many people around.
“Happy National Day!”
"Well, happy National Day!" Mo Jingchun nodded, picked up his backpack, slung it over his shoulder and walked towards the back door.
Just as Mo Jingchun walked out of the back door and was about to disappear in the corridor, he stopped, walked through the crowd around him, and returned to the back door.
"Jiang Li." Mo Jingchun's voice rang out in the classroom again.
"Huh?" Jiang Li turned around with some confusion, wondering why he hadn't left yet.
"See you tomorrow."
Mo Jingchun gave a wicked smile, then without waiting for Jiang Li's reaction, he turned around and ran out of the corridor with his schoolbag, disappearing from the latter's sight in a flash.
Jiang Li sat there blankly, his almond-shaped black eyes flashing with a strange light, "See you tomorrow..."
