Just passing by

Zou Weichen took Shan Yun and ran towards the school gate.

The two men ran into the school. At that time, there were still some students lingering at the school gate. The school security guard was standing at the school gate. The man with the headscarf led most of the people to chase the two men. Seeing that the two men had run into the school, they did not dare to chase them and stood guard not far from the school gate.

Shan Yun put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath, feeling a tightness in his chest that made it hard for him to exhale. He hadn't run like this for a long time, and this 1,000-meter sprint was really too much for him.

He looked up at Zou Weichen who was leaning against the wall and asked, "Are you okay?"

Zou Weichen nodded, stood up and walked to Shan Yun, took out a bottle of water from his schoolbag, unscrewed the cap and handed it to him.

Shan Yun took it, tilted his head back and drank half of the bottle, then heaved a sigh of relief, "I'm so tired, luckily you have water." He then took another big gulp.

Zou Weichen waited for him to finish drinking the water, then raised his hand and touched his forehead. Shan Yun made a "hiss" sound, touched his forehead, and cried out "pain".

"Do you feel the pain?" Zou Weichen took his hand back, rummaged in his schoolbag for a while, found a Band-Aid, tore it open, and was about to stick it on. Shan Yun stepped back suddenly, as if he remembered something, looked back, then looked around, and finally returned his gaze to Zou Weichen's face, and said worriedly:

"Where's Jiang Zhe?"

"He ran in the other direction." Zou Weichen said as he pulled Shan Yun over and carefully put a Band-Aid on the wound on Shan Yun's forehead.

Shan Yun lowered his head and obediently let the other party treat his wounds. "Jiang Zhe is running away alone, will he be okay?"

"No, he has participated in provincial and municipal competitions and has won first place in the 100-meter race and the 5,000-meter race several times. They probably can't compare to him in terms of speed and endurance, and he is very familiar with this area."

"Oh." Shan Yun responded. Seeing Zou Weichen put down his hand, he raised his hand and touched the Band-Aid on his forehead. "You seem to know him very well?"

"I often saw him sneaking around in the dark alleys near the school. I also saw him hiding in the dark alleys when he was being chased."

"No wonder I asked you to stop and kept helping you when I first met Jiang Zhe. It was because I recognized Jiang Zhe and knew he wouldn't hit me."

As the two were talking, Jiang Zhe called and said that he had arrived home safely. There were only two people chasing him. After running for a while, the two people failed to catch up with him. After he shook them off, he went straight home.

"Brother Yun, do you need me to pick you up?"

Zou Weichen took the phone and said, "No need, we have a solution."

Shan Yun widened his eyes.

Zou Weichen hung up the phone naturally, and then naturally put the phone back into Shan Yun's hand. "If he comes, he might even be a burden to us." He explained, glancing away.

"Oh oh." Shan Yun nodded.

That's right. Considering Zou Weichen's skills, he must be confident to say that.

The security guard leaned out of the window and asked, "Student, today is Friday. There are no make-up classes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Why don't you hurry home?"

Zou Weichen took a step forward and stood in front of Shan Yun, smiling and saying to the security guard, "We forgot to take our homework books. We can go back to the classroom to get them. Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

"What? Your expression changes so quickly."

"What?" Zou Weichen turned around.

"You were so cold when you were talking to Jiang Zhe just now, but you turned around and acted well to the uncle."

When Zou Weichen heard this, he paused for a moment, his ears immediately turned red, and he turned his eyes away.

Look, he can still look so shy, this top scholar is quite changeable.

"What should we do now?" Shan Yun returned to reality, looked outside, and then looked at Zou Weichen, "They are still guarding outside."

"I know a way to go back." Zou Weichen brought Shan Yun to the wall behind the faculty and staff dormitory. The wall here was high, but the top of the wall was flat, unlike the wall on the teaching building, which was covered with broken glass.

Zou Weichen jumped up, grabbed the branch of the tree beside the wall, rubbed his feet against the wall twice, and then used his hands to support himself and lift himself up. He climbed onto the trunk of the tree, jumped lightly again, and stepped steadily on the top of the wall.

Shan Yun was stunned watching from the side, and he kept sighing in his heart: This guy has amazing arm strength.

Zou Weichen squatted on the wall and looked at him. Shan Yun felt that he could not lose face, so he followed his example and jumped onto the tree trunk.

He was about the same height as Zou Weichen and he easily grabbed the trunk. However, climbing up the trunk was a problem. He stretched his legs to push up the wall but couldn't, and he even pulled his wound. Finally, he ran out of strength and had to jump back to the ground.

Shan Yun felt completely ashamed.

He tried several more times, but still couldn't climb up the tree trunk.

When he was about to try again, Zou Weichen stood up and walked back along the wall, then squatted on the wall, doing something. When he stood up again, he had a ladder in his hand.

He placed the ladder in front of Shan Yun and fixed it in place. Shan Yun climbed up the ladder and stood on the top of the wall. He looked down at Zou Weichen who was pulling the ladder up and raised his eyebrows.

"You are so naughty, do you want to show off your agility?"

Zou Weichen waved his hands and explained anxiously, "I didn't see the ladder just now. When you were climbing the tree, I wanted to pull you up, and then I saw the ladder behind the tree."

Shan Yun couldn't help laughing when he saw Zou Weichen explaining seriously. Zou Weichen didn't understand why Shan Yun suddenly laughed and shook his head in confusion. Shan Yun tried hard not to laugh, but the more he tried, the more he couldn't help it. He simply squatted on the wall, holding his stomach and laughing.

"What's the matter?" Zou Weichen was confused. He looked around and then at Shan Yun, trying to find the reason why Shan Yun was laughing so hard.

"It's okay, just let me laugh for a while, that's all." Shan Yun wiped away the tears that came from laughing.

Zou Weichen squatted on the wall, tilted his head and looked at Shan Yun, it seemed that he was really waiting for Shan Yun to smile enough.

It turns out that this top student is a bit silly and serious.

"Who is down there?" someone asked from upstairs.

Zou Weichen quickly covered Shan Yun's mouth, and Shan Yun immediately stopped laughing. They both turned around and looked up.

"Are you students? Which class are you in?"

"Oh no, what should we do?" Shan Yun opened Zou Weichen's palm and asked in lip language.

Zou Weichen made a gesture to silence everyone, stood up, lifted the ladder and put it outside the wall, pulled the ladder to fix it, held the ladder, and whispered, "You go down first."

Shan Yun nodded and came down from the ladder.

Zou Weichen put the ladder back to its original place, squatted down, supported the wall with one hand, jumped lightly, jumped down from the wall, and landed steadily in front of Shan Yun.

The movements are smooth and seamless.

"Yo, you're still trying to be cool." Shan Yun crossed his arms over his chest and spoke slowly while leaning against the street light.

"Hmm." Zou Weichen tilted his head slightly, took out his phone, and clicked it at Shan Yun, "I don't know who would pose even when standing."

"Your photography skills are good, take another one, one that looks more handsome." Shan Yun changed his pose, "It has to be more handsome than you."

Zou Weichen actually raised his phone again and walked around a few times to find the angle. Then he took a few "clicks" and then lowered his head to look at the photos carefully.

"How about it, let me see it." Shan Yun stepped forward.

Zou Weichen quickly put away his phone. “All the photos were blurry. Under the street lights, with the backlight, my face was not in the photo, so I deleted them all.”

"What a crappy phone you have." Shan Yun complained, but didn't care and walked towards home.

Zou Weichen chased after him.

After walking a few steps, Shan Yun turned around, pointed at his face uncertainly, and asked, "Do I have any cuts or bruises on my face? I'm afraid my grandmother will be worried if she sees it when I go back."

Maybe because Shan Yun was standing with his back to the light, Zou Weichen couldn't see clearly, so he moved closer to Shan Yun's face and searched carefully.

Shan Yun was so frightened by the face so close to him that he dared not move and froze in place.

Zou Weichen was carefully checking whether Shan Yun had any injuries on his face, but Shan Yun felt that such a distance was a bit strange.

He took a step back and said with an awkward smile: "It's too dark here, let's go under the street light." He took two steps back and went under the street light. Seeing Zou Weichen's puzzled look, he tried his best to stay calm, "There's no pain or burning on your face, so you shouldn't be hurt, hehe."

"There's really no injury, but I saw your face was red just now, so I thought..."

"Okay, at least you're not hurt. Let's go back. It's getting dark."

Shan Yun turned around, waved his arms, and took a step forward. Zou Weichen hurriedly followed his pace, and the two walked side by side on the street.

Shan Yun suddenly took a big step forward, walked backwards towards Zou Weichen, and asked him the question that had been on his mind all along: "By the way, how did you know that Jiang Zhe and I were surrounded?"

Zou Weichen stopped and glanced at Shan Yun for a long moment, then touched his nose and said, "I just happened to pass by there and heard some noise outside the wall."

Shan Yun curled his lips, "What? Jiang Zhe also said that the place was very hidden and few students knew about it. That's too unreliable. No wonder those people knew to wait for us outside the wall."

Zou Weichen coughed twice and glanced to the side, "It's just a coincidence."

Shan Yun retreated back to Zou Weichen's side, with his hands behind his back, "Luckily you happened to pass by there, otherwise I would have been beaten into a pig face today."

After listening to Shan Yun's words, Zou Weichen glanced at the Band-Aid on his forehead, lowered his head, and looked at the shadows of two people reflected by the street lights.

He felt that he was still late.

Night had fallen, and the street lights were lit in a row. The strange atmosphere lingering between the two of them gradually dissipated. Shan Yun remembered Zou Weichen's face standing on the wall as he explained seriously, and he couldn't help but started laughing again.

Zou Weichen turned his head.

"The way you explained it seriously just now was a little... cute." Shan Yun originally wanted to say silly, but he always felt that it was not very appropriate. When he searched for words in his mind, the word "cute" popped up.

"Get lost." Zou Weichen's face turned red to his ears. He took advantage of the fact that there were no cars passing by and turned to the other side of the road.

"Are you angry now?" Shan Yun stood at one end of the road, watching Zou Weichen walking on the opposite side of the road.

Zou Weichen didn't stop, but waved his hand with his back to Shan Yun, "Let's go." But after walking a few steps, he stopped again and suddenly turned around, "The look on someone's face when he was caught cheating on homework a few days ago was also... cute."

"Zou Weichen, stop right there!"

On the street at night, two teenagers were chasing each other, passing through rows of dim street lights.
