Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Brother Mai has something to say!
On the Ferris wheel, Ji Maili clung to the glass and looked back. Having just experienced a life-and-death experience, he now felt that this ghost-free space was a really great place.
Ji Maili looked at Tao Dacheng and Zhou Luyang in the back and said, "What's wrong with these two? Two grown men insist on sitting alone. Isn't it just right for four people to sit together? Most girls sit in pairs of four."
Shen Lu looked at Ji Maili and said nothing.
Ji Maili turned his head and saw Chen Lu looking at him. He felt the atmosphere of the two of them being alone together again. "But it's also good. It saves them from arguing here."
Shen Lu: "Aren't you the one who's been arguing?"
Ji Maili sat next to Shen Lu and asked him, "Were you scared in the haunted house just now?"
Shen Lu asked back: "What about you?"
Ji Maili admitted his fear, "I admit I was scared. Were you scared too? I saw that Black Impermanence was severely injured by your kick. You were so scared that you activated some extra skills and even hit people?"
Shen Lu smiled and said, "You know I won't hit anyone?"
Ji Maili stared at him for a while, but finally gave up on this ridiculous idea. He shook his head and said, "Forget it. You don't look like you can fight. Let me do the rough work from now on."
Shen Lu really wanted to correct his perception of himself, "Let you get beaten?"
Ji Maili was too lazy to argue with him because he kept bringing up the beating he got. "I took the beating for you, but you're still so troublesome. I wouldn't let anyone else take it for me."
Chen Lu patted the little fool's head and said, "Hey, this body of iron and steel was all trained for me."
Ji Maili let him ravage his head: "What else do you think!"
The Ferris wheel reached its highest point, offering a bird's-eye view of the entire amusement park and distant vistas. Ji Maili leaned over the glass, looking down. His opening words shattered the atmosphere, "Liang Xiaohui said the Ferris wheel was romantic. How romantic is it? This is higher than bungee jumping. What the hell would it do if it suddenly broke and fell down..."
Shen Lu was speechless, "It would be quite romantic if you could just shut up."
Ji Maili turned around and asked Chen Lu, "Do you think this is romantic?"
Shen Lu stretched his legs and said, "It's okay, if it's a date."
Ji Maili's expression froze for a moment. "Date? Who do you want to date? Let me tell you, if you want to date, don't bring a girl to a place like this. I don't know if it's romantic or not. What if she's timid? She'll be scared to death, okay?"
Seeing that he was worried about so much, Shen Lu resisted the urge to pinch his mouth and said, “Isn’t that just right? If he’s a coward, I can take the opportunity to hug him.”
Ji Maili stared at him. "You speak as if you are quite experienced. Have you ever cuddled in a place like this?"
"Yes," Shen Lu said, "I have hugged him."
Ji Maili was stunned. "You really hugged someone? When and who did you hug?"
Shen Lu looked at him and smiled, “Just now, in the haunted house, I hugged you.”
Ji Maili looked at him for a long time, and Chen Lu thought he would make trouble, but he just looked at him for a while and turned his head to look at the scenery.
When the Ferris wheel was about to land, Ji Maili muttered, "I'm not a woman."
It was almost dark when we came out of the playground. We went out to have a meal together and then went home to prepare for school tomorrow.
Chen Lu sent Ji Maili home. As they walked back from the bus stop at the mall, Ji Maili asked Chen Lu, "Are you going to race cars again tonight?"
Shen Lu: "Not going today."
Ji Maili caught the loophole in his words and asked: "If you don't go today, when will you go?"
Seeing his expression as if he was going to steal the car and hide it, Shen Lu said, “I usually go there on weekends, but I have a monthly exam coming up soon, so I probably won’t be going anytime soon.”
Ji Maili had no idea about the exam date. He looked at Shen Lu worriedly, "Monthly exam? You've been busy playing lately. How can you do well in the monthly exam?"
Chen Lu: "I didn't just play. I was reviewing at home during the few days I didn't come to see you."
Ji Maili got angry when he mentioned the days when he was having a seizure. He glared at Shen Lu: "Didn't you say you were busy and working?"
Chen Lu was in the wrong and had nothing to say. He dragged Ji Maili forward.
Ji Maili was settling the score later: "So you admit that you were avoiding me on purpose, right? Why don't you tell me what I did to you?"
"Nothing serious," Shen Lu said, "I just got sick myself."
Ji Maili didn't ask him why he had an attack for no reason. "Tell me before you have an attack next time, and I'll prepare some medicine for you."
"Okay." When they arrived downstairs at Ji Maili's house, Chen Lu said, "Do you remember what you promised me? Don't skip classes, listen carefully, and remember to ask me if you have any questions."
Ji Maili held his head and said, "Please forgive me."
Shen Lu pulled his hand away, “You can’t go around it, otherwise, if I go to college and play with others in the future, won’t you be angry?”
Ji Maili didn't like hearing this kind of talk: "Can't you just not play with others?"
Shen Lu said, "Sure, but you can't let me go through four years of college alone, right?"
Ji Maili still has some idea of his own strengths and weaknesses: "But I can't pass the exam."
Chen Lu: "Of course, you are so smart. If you work hard, you will definitely pass the exam. I checked and you can draw and have won many awards. If your academic scores are not high enough, you can take the art exam."
"Ah?" Ji Maili said with a bitter face, "What a trouble."
Ji Maili hadn't thought about the future, nor was he too lazy to think about it. After Chen Lu said this, he suddenly felt that his future life had become a little complicated.
Seeing that he wouldn't listen to her advice, Shen Lu had no choice but to offer bribes: "Promise me that you will study hard, and I will take you with me to every race in the future."
Ji Maili suddenly looked at Chen Lu: "Really?"
Shen Lu nodded, "Yeah, really."
In order to go racing with Chen Lu in the future, Ji Maili agreed. He had promised everything the night before, but he ended up being late on the first day of school...
He did get up early and decided to work hard, but on the way there he met Li Jun and a few others from the sports school.
The last fight they arranged failed and Li Jun and the others were arrested. After the school found out, they issued a collective notice of criticism, so that they would not dare to act rashly for a period of time. This chance encounter was also accidental. Ji Maili rarely went to school on time. If he had not promised Chen Lu, he should have just woken up at this time. How could he have met them?
The school gate was closed. Ji Maili climbed over the wall and just as he jumped down, he saw a person standing at the foot of the wall. He was startled and twisted his ankle, but was caught before he fell.
Ji Maili looked at the elusive Shen Lu: "Why are you here?"
Chen Lu held the scorebook and pulled his arm: "Morning self-study class will end in ten minutes. You're here early."
Ji Maili lied casually: "Last night I was so busy looking forward to the future that I lost control and slept late."
Chen Lu: "What did Zhan Wang find out?"
Ji Maili threw his schoolbag over his shoulder and said, "I haven't come up with anything yet, so I'll just study hard and make progress every day. Why didn't you come out to wait for me so early in the morning instead of reviewing in the classroom?"
Shen Lu shook the scorebook in his hand, "I'm here to catch you! How many points do you think are appropriate for being late on the first day of school?"
Ji Maili didn't care, "If I still have points, you can deduct as many as you want."
Liu Jing used the last few minutes of morning self-study to summarize the results of the sports meet. As soon as Ji Maili entered the door, he was surrounded by applause.
"The two first prizes our class won this time are all thanks to our classmate Ji Maili. He is the real hero of our class this time." Liu Jing called Ji Maili in and asked, "Do you have any words of thanks for winning the award?"
Ji Maili was bewildered. "No, why are you still talking about settling scores later? Isn't the sports meet over?"
Liu Jing: "It's over, but we still have to hold a commendation meeting. Let's say a few words."
Zhou Luyang clapped his hands loudly and took the lead in shouting, "Brother Mai, say something!"
Immediately afterwards, slaps were heard one after another in the classroom.
Ji Maili tapped his toes on the ground in embarrassment and said, "Keep working hard at next year's sports meet." After saying that, he quickly walked towards his seat.
Liang Xiaohui shouted, "You will definitely not be allowed to participate in the relay next year!"
The whole class burst into laughter.
Ji Maili stopped and looked at Liang Xiaohui, "Then don't fall down next year, or you'll be grabbing people to push you up again."
The laughter in the classroom suddenly reached its peak.
Liu Jing knocked on the blackboard: "Keep your voices down, or we'll call the dean!" She looked at Ji Maili: "Although Ji Maili has won honor for our class this time, you still need to change your habit of being late and skipping classes. The best result you can get is a sprint like you did in the 400-meter race."
Ji Maili returned to his seat and said, "I'll try my best."
