Chapter 3 Fog (p) Bastard
【Mission failed.】
You Wu was using a flip phone. The scratches on the screen showed that it was quite old. After sending the message to Ke Xingye, he closed the cover with a "snap".
She went home and changed into clean clothes. There were two small holes on the right shoulder of the black short-sleeved shirt she took off, and the edges were marked with marks from sparks.
This is the location where Ke Yanlou used the cigarette butt to light the fire.
Ke Yanlou controlled the temperature and strength very accurately, only scalding You Wu's clothes. At this time, the girl in the mirror only had a slight redness on her shoulders.
But for You Wu, burning her clothes was actually more serious than burning herself.
"Asshole." You Wu made his first evaluation of Ke Yanlou, rubbing his short-sleeved shirt that was stained with cigarette ash with great effort.
The bathroom could only accommodate a red basin and You Wu. The splashing foam reflected You Wu's red face, and it was unclear whether it was caused by the sun or anger.
"Wuwu, are you washing clothes?" Grandma Xu Qiongfang, wearing black plastic slippers, walked to the bathroom door with a hunched back and spoke softly to You Wu.
You Wu said, "It got dirty just now. Are you awake?"
Xu Qiongfang actually didn't have any serious illness, but she was constantly suffering from minor illnesses. She had diabetes, knee effusion and other old age diseases, and her health was not very good, so when You Wu was free, he would stay in the store and Xu Qiongfang would take a nap.
"This short-sleeved shirt of yours has turned pale from washing. I'll take you to buy some new clothes some other day." Xu Qiongfang pulled You Wu's sleeve and smoothed out the wrinkles.
You Wu squeezed out the water and said, "No need. We'll all be wearing school uniforms when school starts, so why waste that money?"
You Wu pushed Xu Qiongfang out and talked for a long time before he finally stopped Xu Qiongfang from thinking about spending money to buy her clothes.
You Wu's house has no balcony, so he can only hang clothes on a large platform. This way of drying clothes always leads to perverts stealing girls' clothes.
You can often hear women cursing: "Who is the shameless person who stole my underwear? Damn it!"
You Wu’s clothes were also stolen once, so she later picked up a small rack and only hung her underwear on it, and used the platform to hang things that were not close to the body.
The cell phone rang. You Wu hung up the clothes, shook off the water stains on his hands, and turned on the cell phone.
Ke Xingye: [What do you mean by mission failure? Big sister, the mission has only started for less than a day! ]
You Wu told Ke Xingye what happened this afternoon. After a while, Ke Xing asked for no reason, "Does he smoke?"
Although it is unclear what the relationship between Ke Xingye and Ke Yanlou is, You Wu is now sure that Ke Xingye and Ke Yanlou are not very familiar with each other.
Ke Xingye [He actually smokes, haha, I can't imagine it. ]
"Idiot." You Wu cursed Ke Xingye. To be honest, it was hard for her to imagine that Ke Yanlou, who looked like a model student, would smoke.
Ke Xing also sent her another message: "I don't care, you have to keep chasing me. I can't find anyone who is poorer, more shameless, and prettier than you."
You Wu: [? Praise me or scold me? ]
On the other side of the phone, Master Ke Xingye put down the game controller in his hand, restrained the smile on his lips, and typed the words "Appreciate you." on the screen.
The moment the message is sent with a "click", the smart door lock's "Welcome Home" also sounds at the door.
"Yanlou is back?" Aunt Wang ran to the door in an apron and took Ke Yanlou's schoolbag with a smile: "Are you hot? I just chilled some watermelon, do you want some?"
Ke Yanlou nodded and smiled at Aunt Wang: "No, thank you, Auntie."
Ke Xing also glanced at Ke Yanlou, taking in everything Ke Yanlou said and did.
Ke Yanlou also looked at Ke Xingye, his brows and eyes were cold and he could not see any emotion at all.
Ke Yanlou just raised his chin slightly towards Ke Xing and said, "Brother."
Ke Xing also snorted, thinking, what a stupid little brother, he must be trying to kill me behind my back, right?
But what Ke Xing finally said was: "Brother, you came back a little late today?"
Ke Yanlou changed into slippers and walked towards his bedroom while saying, "Well, there's a lot to do at school."
Ke Xing was also the son of Ke Yanlou's father and another woman. Both brothers knew that the other didn't like them, but they both acted well.
After Ke Xing entered Ke Yanlou's bedroom, he suddenly walked to Ke Yanlou's door and said, "You smoked."
It is an affirmation rather than a question.
Ke Yanlou sat on the chair, turned around slowly, crossed his arms over his chest, and said calmly, "Ke Xingye, do you want to die?"
...
Nancheng No. 1 Middle School ends its holiday almost half a month earlier than other schools. On the day of returning to school, everyone expresses their most sincere greetings to the school leaders and their parents.
You Wu didn't have many friends at school, so he didn't join others in greeting the leader. Instead, he greeted Ke Xingye several times.
After You Wu met Ke Yanlou for the first time and failed to gain anything, he proposed to terminate the cooperation with Ke Xingye. Ke Xingye threw out the letter of commitment he had signed. This was not important. What was important was that his grandmother was diagnosed with rectal cancer during the summer vacation.
You Wu called Ke Xingye on the night Xu Qiongfang was diagnosed with rectal cancer. Ke Xingye said the same thing: "Chase Ke Yanlou and then dump him. I'll give you as much as you want. I have plenty of money."
...
On the first day of school, students were either sleeping soundly or gossiping non-stop. In addition, the weather was hot and the teachers were also restless, so the classes ended on time at 6:30.
The crowd rushed out in a swarm. Science classes, arts classes, international department, and ordinary classes, all kinds of class divisions disappeared before school was over.
Thanks to Ke Xing for sending You Wu many photos of Ke Yanlou, You Wu can now accurately find Ke Yanlou in the crowd.
Ke Yanlou himself is a very eye-catching person. The Western-style school uniform makes him look elegant and refined. His skin is whiter than that of girls, which makes him look even more scholarly.
The guy with a buzz cut following Ke Yanlou is called Zhou Qiao, and the one with darker skin is Wu Yue. Ke Xing also gave You Wu this information.
You Wu mixed into the crowd and followed the three people. After leaving the school gate, the three people did not go their separate ways, but turned into a store selling qingbuliang together.
"Boss, three servings of Qingbuliang!" Zhou Qiao opened his legs and sat on the stool. Wu Yue also sat next to Zhou Qiao: "Close your legs."
Zhou Qiao reluctantly retracted his legs, and Ke Yanlou sat opposite Zhou Qiao and Wu Yue.
You Wu also walked into the store. The boss asked her what she wanted. You Wu glanced at the price list. To people like Ke Yanlou, Qingbuliang was just junk food. To You Wu, all the snacks here were too expensive.
"Iced glutinous rice balls, please." You Wu picked the cheapest one, took a photo and sent it to Ke Xingye: [8 yuan, reimbursed.]
Ke Xingye [I asked you to chase someone, not to let you enjoy yourself! ]
You Wu took a photo of Keyan Tower and sent it over.
Ke Xingye [What AV quality? This Ke Yanlou? ]
You Wu [Ke Yanlou is eating Qingbuliang. I followed him into the store and had to order something. You can decide whether to reimburse me or not.]
Ke Xing also ran out of patience: [Report, report, report! ]
Ke Xing also generously transferred 10,000 yuan to You Wu.
Ke Xingye [Can you replace your broken phone? The picture quality is terrible. ]
You Wu didn't act pretentiously and just clicked to receive it.
Zhou Qiao and Wu Yue were chatting animatedly, but Ke Yanlou remained silent and looked indifferent.
Zhou Qiao suddenly asked Ke Yanlou for no reason: "Hey, Shen Qingsong didn't bother you today?"
Ke Yanlou sat upright, lowered his head and scooped a spoonful of coconut milk with a spoon, and said slowly: "Why is she pestering me?"
Wu Yue took a sip of coconut milk and exclaimed, "Wow, can't you tell that Miss Shen likes you?"
Ke Yanlou's expression remained the same, he just slowly ate the fruit in the plastic bowl. He smiled, the arc was very small, like a green leaf being gently touched by the breeze.
Ke Yanlou: "So what if you figured it out?"
There are more and more students in the store, including Ke Yanlou. Many girls took out their mobile phones and pretended to take selfies, but they pointed the cameras at Ke Yanlou.
"Mom, I have money and beauty. Ke Yanlou went home at night and opened the novel, thinking that this is not good either."
"Woo, she looks so gentle. No wonder teachers like top students."
"puff--"
An inappropriate burst of laughter was heard among the crowd.
“Ahem!”
You Wu pulled a tissue to cover his face, then lowered his head and used a spoon to scoop out the syrup from the ice dumplings and drank it all.
Gentle? A top student? A good student?
Which of these three words is related to Ke Yanlou?
You Wu only had one word to describe Ke Yanlou: "Inconsistent."
When You Wu was eating iced glutinous rice balls, Zhou Qiao set his sights on her and suddenly frowned and said, "Hey, do you think that girl looks familiar?"
Wu Yue glanced at You Wu: "I don't have any impression, but in your eyes, which girl doesn't look familiar?"
Zhou Qiao was too lazy to criticize Wu Yue, so he just turned to Ke Yanlou and said, "Does she look familiar to you? Why do I feel like I've seen her somewhere before?"
All in all, Zhou Qiao and Wu Yue had only seen You Wu twice. You Wu was usually a marginal figure in the crowd. In addition, it had been nearly two months since their first meeting, so Zhou Qiao and Wu Yue could not remember You Wu clearly.
Including this time, Ke Yanlou, who had seen You Wu three times, also took a look at You Wu.
The girl tied her hair into a high ponytail without any unnecessary decorations. Unlike other high school girls of her age who like to play with their hair, it was obvious that she was not concerned about her appearance.
Her eyes are obviously very round, but her eyebrows have a stubborn feel. She doesn't look like the type who would be bullied. Her skin is very white, like the ice dumplings in the bowl, but not as round and cute as the ice dumplings, but rather has edges carved out by a knife or an axe.
Zhou Qiao kept urging Ke Yanlou to verify his guess: "Speak up, have we seen her?"
Ke Yanlou picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth: "I don't know him."
Zhou Qiao: “…”
After eating, Zhou Qiao, Wu Yue and Ke Yanlou stood up to pay the bill. You Wu also stood up. When they walked towards the cashier counter in the store, You Wu saw a mechanical watch on the ground.
Ke Yanlou’s watch.
You Wu picked up the watch and walked behind Ke Yanlou: "Classmate."
Ke Yanlou ignored You Wu at first, and Zhou Qiao and Wu Yue did not realize that they were calling Ke Yanlou.
You Wu called out again: "Classmate!"
Ke Yanlou turned his head and met You Wu's eyes.
Ke Yanlou said calmly: "What's the matter?"
You Wu took two steps forward and was about to hand the watch to Ke Yanlou, but his foot slipped.
crowd:"......"
You Wu: “…”
Ke Yanlou reacted quickly. There was no falling down scene like in traditional TV dramas. Ke Yanlou grabbed You Wu's schoolbag and pulled You Wu upright.
You Wu also handed over his watch: "Classmate, your watch fell."
Ke Yanlou took the watch and said indistinguishably, "Thank you."
From beginning to end, Ke Yanlou didn't even look at You Wu. You Wu guessed that he definitely didn't remember that she caught him smoking, nor did he remember her.
After Ke Yanlou and the others paid and left, You Wu went up to pay the bill: "Boss, my iced glutinous rice balls are eight yuan, right?"
The lady boss said "Oh" and raised her chin towards the outside of the store: "Yes, but the handsome guy just now has already given it to you."
You Wu: "Give it all together?"
...
Ke Xing was also an impatient person, and he would ask You Wu how she was doing every few hours. You Wu would reply at first, but later she would just leave him alone for a long time. It was not just her job to pursue Ke Yanlou, she also had to work and study.
During this period, she often had dark circles under her eyes when she was at school.
After finishing the first Chinese class, You Wu fell asleep. These ten minutes can be regarded as golden sleep period.
However, things did not go as planned. Dean Huang Laowu walked up to the podium with a big belly and slapped the table with a ruler: "Wash your faces if you are sleeping! Class monitor, open everyone's schoolbags. We need to see if there are any cigarettes. There are cigarette butts in the student dormitories recently!"
Everyone was complaining, thinking that the International Department across the street was clearly the hardest hit by smoking, so why investigate the innocent people instead of them?
After a search, I didn't find a pack of cigarettes, but I did find a bunch of novels and idol peripherals.
Some people are dissatisfied: "They don't care about those who are in love, they don't care about those who are fighting, why do they care about me, a poor star-chasing person who just reads articles."
Just when everyone was about to stand up and accuse the dean of wrongly accusing a good person, the person searching bags suddenly picked up a schoolbag and said, "Found it!"
Huang Laowu angrily asked, "Whose schoolbag is this?!"
The backpack was very torn, the black bottom had been washed to a white color, and the inside of the backpack was covered with patches, as if it had been carefully pieced together by the owner.
No one in the class said anything for a long time, because apart from that person, no one else would use such a tattered schoolbag.
Just when Huang Laowu was about to lose his temper, You Wu walked over and took the schoolbag.
You Wu looked directly into Huang Laowu's eyes: "Mine."
......
You Wu's palms felt hot with pain, and physiological tears accumulated in the corners of his eyes.
"Wuwu, I always thought you were a good kid, why would you smoke?" The head teacher Qin Yue had no choice but to slap You Wu's palm in front of Huang Laowu.
In Qin Yue's eyes, You Wu has always been a very obedient child. She also knows the situation at home and it is impossible for You Wu to smoke.
"I think this little girl just pretends to be good all the time." Huang Laowu put his hands on his waist and spat some smoky saliva on You Wu's face.
Huang Laowu seemed to be still angry and was about to grab the ruler, but the next second he rushed to the door as if he had seen his parents: "Hey, Xiaolou is here?"
"Director Huang."
A boy's clear voice came from behind.
Ke Yanlou walked into the office and placed the physics test paper on Huang Laowu's desk. As soon as he came in, he became the focus of the office.
"Xiaolou finished packing the weekly test papers so quickly."
Huang Laowu leaned against Ke Yanlou as if he was coaxing his father: "Oh, if only everyone was as obedient as you, look!"
Huang Laowu pointed at You Wu and said to Ke Yanlou, "This girl is disobedient. How can you tell that she smokes?"
You Wu, who had been silent all the time, looked up at this moment and met Ke Yanlou's eyes, but his words seemed to be spoken to Huang Laowu.
You Wu: "It's not my cigarette."
Huang Laowu hated it most when someone contradicted him, so he immediately said, "Still talking back."
Tears welled up in the corners of You Wu's eyes, like crumbling icicles.
You Wu held up the cigarette box and asked, "Teacher, do you think that a poor student like me who lives in a low-rent apartment and receives a minimum living allowance can afford to smoke imported cigarettes?"
The teachers had heard about You Wu's situation to some extent, and they knew it was a misunderstanding. Qin Yue quickly gave You Wu an excuse: "I told you it was a misunderstanding. Ouch, did it hurt? Go back and apply some ice water."
Qin Yue winked at You Wu, who thanked him in a low voice and left the office but did not leave immediately.
A minute later, Ke Yanlou came out of the office and walked to You Wu as if he had expected it.
The boy was very tall, and his broad shoulders cast a shadow on the wall that covered most of You Wu's body.
You Wu looked at Ke Yanlou coldly and smashed the cigarette box in his face.
Ke Yanlou took the cigarette box and frowned at You Wu: "Tsk. Don't hit someone in the face. What if you disfigure me?"
You Wu rushed to Ke Yanlou, stood on tiptoe and grabbed Ke Yanlou's collar, like a ferocious beast with fangs bared: "Remember me, you were the one who put the cigarette box there."
That day in Qingbuliang's shop, when You Wu's schoolbag was pulled by Ke Yanlou, Ke Yanlou stuffed a cigarette box into her schoolbag. This pack of cigarettes belonged to Ke Yanlou. She remembered that this was the type he smoked in the alley.
Ke Yanlou did not feel guilty about being exposed, but held You Wu's hand.
The girl's hands were not big, but Ke Yanlou actually had to use some effort to remove them: "You're quite strong, huh?"
You Wu: "You framed me and watched me get embarrassed. Are you happy?"
You Wu now understands a little bit why Ke Xing also wants to deal with Ke Yanlou.
Ke Yanlou lowered his head and raised his eyelids slightly: "Didn't you say you liked me? You wanted to pursue me? Can you bear to see me being scolded by the teacher because of a cigarette box?"
If there was someone nearby at this moment, they would definitely be shocked when seeing Ke Yanlou's appearance.
You Wu was so angry that he laughed out loud.
Ke Yanlou also laughed and said, "Are you still planning to pursue me now?"
You Wu thought of Ke Xingye's card: "Chase."
Ke Yanlou held the cigarette box in his right hand. After spinning it in his hand, it landed steadily in his palm. He asked in confusion, "Why are you chasing me?"
Ke Yanlou: "Give me a reason."
The girl raised her head, her glass-like eyes rolled, and her lips parted: "Because you are rich, handsome, and powerful enough."
"Really?" Ke Yanlou obviously didn't expect You Wu to come up with such a list of reasons. He nodded thoughtfully, then bent down and whispered in her ear: "How do you know if I'm strong or not?"
