Chapter Three: You don't want others to know either, right?



"My name is Yu Mobai, let's get acquainted."

"Not interested."

Dong Yike had no desire to speak at all. After glancing at the table, she lay down on it again, her little face already bearing several red marks.

Same temper as always.

Yu Mobai chuckled to himself, but instead of leaving, he continued to ask, "It's holiday time, aren't you going home?"

"You talk too much nonsense. Do I even know you?"

Dong Yike turned her head slightly to look out the window, then buried her head in her arms, speaking in a muffled voice.

"We'll be classmates from now on, we'll get to know each other sooner or later."

"We'll talk about that later."

"......"

Considering that this was the first time the two had met, it might seem a bit abrupt.

However, there is still a long time to go, and things will progress slowly.

So Yu Mobai glanced at her a few more times before turning and leaving.

After Yu Mobai and the girl at the door left, everyone else in the classroom quickly left as well, leaving only Dong Yike in the end.

The stark white incandescent light and the darkness outside seemed like two different worlds.

The ticking of the clock on the blackboard gave her a creepy feeling.

Despite her fearless nature, Dong Yike has a fatal weakness: she's afraid of the dark.

Once it gets dark, she doesn't dare go anywhere unless someone accompanies her.

She quietly clenched and unclenched her hands in the desk drawer, glanced down at her phone, and saw it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

It's so dark outside.

"Ding~"

My phone suddenly rang; it was a text message.

"Okay, Mom has to work overtime and can't pick you up. Take a taxi home by yourself. Be careful on the way and don't go anywhere. Call Mom when you get home to let her know you're safe."

Dong Yike: "..."

This is terrible!

She dared not leave!

After several attempts, she gave up.

"Gurgle..."

Just then, my stomach rumbled again.

...

"You know that girl who transferred schools?"

As they walked out of the teaching building, Ji Mushu asked curiously, "You used to run faster than anyone else after school."

I guess so.

Yu Mobai turned his head to look at the teaching building. At this time, only a few classrooms in the teaching building had their lights on, and the playground was also completely dark.

They quickly found the red-haired figure by the window.

He knew, of course, that Dong Yi was afraid of the dark, which was probably why he stayed in the classroom and refused to come out.

She thought for a moment, then looked at Ji Mushu and tossed her the schoolbag. "Wooden comb, wait for me."

"Are you looking for death? Let me tell you, don't call me 'wooden comb' anymore."

Ji Mushu had a stern face; she knew without even thinking that this guy had gone to see that girl again.

She stood on the playground, arms crossed, staring at the classroom window.

...

"Go, or not go, go, or not go..."

Winter can pluck the petals from the windowsill and count them one by one.

She huddled in the corner as much as possible, as if that was the only way she could feel safe.

Until the last petal was torn off, "Let's go..."

She looked distressed; how could she possibly walk?

Just then, footsteps echoed down the corridor. Soon, Yu Mobai appeared, pretending to come back to get something. Then he looked up and asked with a grin, "Aren't you leaving? There's nobody left at school. Aren't you scared?"

The appearance of a living person brought some relief to Dong Yike's tense emotions. She tightened her sweaty little hands and saw a glimmer of hope.

I've decided on you!

"How old are you? Who the hell is afraid of the dark?"

She showed no fear or nervousness on her face; on the contrary, she appeared somewhat arrogant.

"Oh, right, being afraid of the dark is really embarrassing."

Yu Mobai grinned. "Want to come together?"

Dong Yike's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, her red lips parted slightly, "You invited me home twice, are you trying to pick me up?"

Yu Mobai: "...."

You're the one who wants to hit on me, I'm just giving you a chance, okay?

Who's got a brain fart and acts like a simp?!

All I want is to be licked.

"I've seen this trick of yours far too many times, at least eighty or a hundred times. Approaching me with all sorts of excuses, it's child's play."

Dong Yike smiled as she got up and packed her schoolbag, her bright eyes and white teeth radiating youthful charm. "But I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance to walk me home."

Yu Mobai twitched the corner of his mouth. He really knows how to save face.

"Really? Then teach me how to pursue girls more effectively."

"Anyway, it's not a love letter..."

Yu Mobai's face darkened, and he turned and left without looking back.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Dong Yike quickly packed her schoolbag, then rummaged through her desk, put on just one shoulder strap, and went out.

The corridor was pitch black, with only a few classroom doors occasionally letting in a sliver of light.

She followed closely behind, not daring to fall behind.

...

Not long after, the classroom lights went out.

Ji Mushu sneered and threw her schoolbag in front of her with a cold face.

Then, pretending not to see it, she raised her little head and stepped on it.

So when Yu Mobai walked out of the teaching building, there was no one left on the playground.

All I could see was his own schoolbag lying alone on the ground.

"The wooden comb is gone?"

He was taken aback. Hadn't he told her to wait?

Yu Mobai picked up his schoolbag without thinking much, and left the school one after the other with Dong Yike.

Shude Family Compound is a resettlement housing area for factory workers.

Dong Yike's family had just moved here a few days ago, so she was quite surprised that the two of them lived in the same neighborhood.
