Chapter 8

Lin ChuSui and a group of people were punished to clean the bathrooms in the teaching building.

Originally Mr. Qin didn't want to punish Xiao Yan and Xu JiaNing, he didn't want to delay their study time.

But Lu Chi, Zhang ChengYu and several other boys made a fuss, for fairness, he had no choice but to reluctantly let Xiao Yan and Xu JiaNing be punished together with them.

The girls' bathroom was quite clean, it was maintained very well every day by the cleaning auntie, so Lin ChuSui and Lu TianBai just wiped the tiles simply and finished the work.

The situation in the boys' bathroom...was not so optimistic.

The whole afternoon, the boys' bathroom was filled with Lu Chi's ghastly screams of "disgusting" -

"Can you guys be more precise? Don't get it on the walls!"

"Are you even humans?"

"Beasts!!!"

Lu Chi was a pampered young master, how could he endure this.

Zhang ChengYu's family was not as well-off as his, but he was steady and pragmatic when doing things, and patiently said: "If you keep screaming, I'll stuff the wiping cloth in your mouth!"

"Brother Octopus, do mine for me, I'll give you anything you want."

Zhang ChengYu looked at him and solemnly said: "Then...give me your sister."

"Deal, deal!"

...

Xiao Yan silently wiped the tiles on the walls with his cloth.

He was always focused when doing things, with single-minded concentration, no matter how dirty it was, he could get his hands dirty without complaining.

Xu JiaNing was like a young master, not doing any work at all, leaning against the door of the boys' bathroom reading Dream of the Red Chamber, and couldn't help sighing deeply when he read the verse "The jade belt hangs in the woods, the golden hairpin buries in the snow".

After Lin ChuSui finished cleaning the girls' bathroom, she strolled to the door of the boys' bathroom and saw Xu JiaNing so leisurely. She was dissatisfied and said: "Why don't you go clean up?"

Without even lifting his eyes, Xu JiaNing righteously said: "I came to school to study and learn, not to work. The school should exist to provide me knowledge and service. The teacher forcing us to work violates human rights. I have the right to file a lawsuit."

Lin ChuSui's mouth twitched slightly.

Go ahead!

But Lu Chi was so awed by Xu JiaNing's "human rights violation" rhetoric that he simply put down his wiping cloth too.

That's right, human rights violation.

Damn it, I'm not doing it anymore!

Now the only one left earnestly cleaning...was Xiao Yan.

Lin ChuSui felt that Xiao Yan was punished because he couldn't control his surging feelings for her. It would be unbrotherly to let him take the punishment alone. She quietly said: "You guys are not cleaning, isn't it unfair to Xiao Yan?"

Xu JiaNing kept reading Dream of the Red Chamber and casually said: "Then go help him."

"Is anyone in the boys' bathroom?"

"No one, not even a ghost."

Lin ChuSui simply took the wiping cloth from Lu Chi's hand and walked into the boys' bathroom to help Xiao Yan clean together.

Seeing her come in, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then emphasized: "This is the boys' bathroom."

"I know."

Lin ChuSui wiped a towel and bent down to start wiping the tiles as usual.

Xiao Yan stood up straight again, wanted to say something more, but Lin ChuSui said: "If you have time to talk, why don't you hurry up and finish cleaning, I want to leave school early too."

Facing the sudden kindness, he was somewhat at a loss. He turned around and continued wiping the tiles, murmuring in a low voice: "Thank you."

These two words were probably the most sincere he had ever said since they met.

"Don't think that because I'm helping you clean, it means I accept your courtship." Lin ChuSui picked up a brush and waved it: "You'd better control your feelings and not make things difficult for me."

"..."

Lin ChuSui seemed unwilling, and added: "But don't be sad either. Although the probability of meeting someone better than me is not high, compromise is also not unacceptable. You are a good person, keep it up!"

Xiao Yan really had never seen such a dramatic girl. The key was...the young lady's bright eyes were clear and sincere, every word came from the bottom of her heart.

He pressed the tip of his tongue against his back molars, and lightly smiled: "Then thank you."

During the break, Mr. Qin walked over. Seeing the two slackers standing at the door of the boys' bathroom playing with their phones, he angrily shouted: "What are you doing? I told you to clean the bathroom, not play on your phones here!"

Lu Chi plucked up his courage and repeated Xu JiaNing's rather spirited words from earlier: "Teacher Qin, we came to school to study and learn, not to work! The school should provide service to me. Forced labor violates human rights. I reserve the right to file a lawsuit!"

"..." Zhang ChengYu rolled his eyes at the ground.

He had never seen a creature more stupid than a straight man.

After Lu Chi righteously finished saying this, the corners of Teacher Qin's mouth curled up into a sinister smile: "Violating human rights?"

Lu Chi felt a little weak: "Uh, actually, this..."

"I'm violating it, so what! Grades falling apart, but ideas are quite complex! Go clean the boys' bathrooms on the first and second floors! I'll come check later. If it's not cleaned properly, don't go home!"

Lu Chi resentfully glanced at Xu JiaNing. Xu JiaNing casually put down his book, politely bowed to Teacher Qin: "Teacher Qin, I also dislike it when some people casually throw around words like 'human rights'. We are students, students should listen to the teacher, this is the natural order of things." 𝚏ree𝚠𝚎𝐛nove𝚕.com

Teacher Qin patted him on the shoulder: "JiaNing, you are different from these rascals. You know when you're wrong. Go back, no need to clean."

"Thank you Teacher Qin, you are the most open-minded teacher I have ever met."

Teacher Qin laughed so hard his mouth split open: "Hahaha, not that great."

Lu Chi: ...

Finally understood why Lin ChuSui always called him a "fake foreign devil".

Hypocritical! Despicable!

Teacher Qin was so flattered by Xu JiaNing's flattery that he hummed a song as he walked into the boys' bathroom, and was about to unzip his pants when he heard a gasp behind him.

Teacher Qin looked back and saw Lin ChuSui standing against the wall in a daze, holding a brush, her eyes wide open like a rabbit's.

He was so shocked that he staggered back a few steps, and hurriedly zipped back up.

"You...you..."

He strode out and repeatedly confirmed that this was the boys' bathroom according to the sign.

"Lin ChuSui! What's going on!"

Lin ChuSui awkwardly walked out of the boys' bathroom, stood at the door, and bitterly said: "Teacher Qin, I finished cleaning the girls' bathroom, and came to...help them."

Teacher Qin's face was flushed red, his trembling finger pointed at her, he was so angry he couldn't speak.

Xiao Yan immediately came out and stood in front of Lin ChuSui: "Teacher Qin..."

Teacher Qin interrupted him: "Xiao Yan, don't think you can cross the line again and again just because you have good grades. Protecting her, dating on campus is a serious violation of school rules and regulations. I can give you appropriate punishment!"

Xiao Yan looked at the angry Teacher Qin and calmly said: "There is no dating."

"You still say there isn't, it's so obvious, you think I can't see it!"

"There is no dating." He paused and said, "It's just me having one-sided feelings, Lin ChuSui has rejected me over and over again."

As soon as these words came out, the students watching the fun around them gasped in unison.

Damn!

The school god has gone mad!

After saying this, how many girls must have broken hearts!

"She rejected you?!" Teacher Qin was somewhat incredulous. He looked at Lin ChuSui: "With her careless appearance..."

She even rejected Xiao Yan. Isn't this girl stupid?

No no no, that's not the point.

"The interaction between you two has already crossed the line of normal interaction between classmates. I hope you take this seriously. Although it's difficult, male and female students can help each other, but you have to grasp the degree."

Teacher Qin earnestly said to Lin ChuSui: "You are a girl, you should know shame."

"Teacher Qin!"

Xiao Yan looked at the class teacher, his dark eyes sharp as a sword, and emphasized:

"Please do not say such things again! She also has a father. If her father heard others say this about his precious daughter, he would also be angry and heartbroken."

...

Xiao Yan walked in front, pushing his bike. The setting sun cast his tall, straight backshadow very long.

Lin ChuSui stared at him blankly, her expression very complicated.

Lu Chi reached out in front of her eyes and waved: "Yo, you can't have really fallen for the school god's gentle trap!"

Lin ChuSui kicked a pebble at her feet and muttered: "Impossible."

"But to be honest, he was really manly just now." Lu Chi admired: "Especially compared to that hypocrite Xu JiaNing. He rendered Teacher Qin guilty and tongue-tied in just a few sentences. Teacher Qin came to our class to show off his power for over half a year. When has he ever been so humiliated? It's really satisfying to think about it."

Lin ChuSui thought of what Xiao Yan had just said, mentioning dad.

Every daughter is her dad's darling.

Yes, if dad was still around, he definitely wouldn't have tolerated others bullying her like this. Even if it was the class teacher, it was unacceptable.

Strange, Xiao Yan always managed to touch the softest thread in her heart.

Finally...not so lonely anymore.

She was in a good mood: "Let's go, play basketball!"

"Let's go!"

They were both school team members, and would take the sports exam path for college entrance exams.

Because her father Old Lin was a firefighter when she was little, he often took her to exercise, so she was very good at basketball, sprint running, and swimming.

Xiao Yan saw Lin ChuSui playing basketball, and also stopped. He parked his bike by a tree.

Lu Chi dribbled the ball past Lin ChuSui and elbowed her: "Hey, he's watching you play."

Lin ChuSui looked back. Xiao Yan was standing alone at the edge of the playground, watching her intently with deep eyes.

Lin ChuSui passed the ball over: "Want to join us?"

Xiao Yan had meant to decline, but...without knowing why, he reflexively caught the ball: "Just 10 minutes."

"I know, the top student has to go home and do homework."

Xiao Yan took off his school uniform jacket and entered the court dribbling.

He was wearing a t-shirt, which clearly showed off his hanger figure. His arms were very white, with strong and smooth muscles. The lines of his shoulders and clavicles were simply gorgeous!

When he took off his shirt, all the passing girls stopped in their tracks and looked at him eagerly.

Not to mention the girls, even Lu Chi and several other boys stared at him, including Lin ChuSui—

"Damn, what a stud."

Xiao Yan was dribbling the basketball and made a beautiful three-step layup, attracting quite some applause from the female onlookers.

"Not bad at all," Lu Chi walked up and said, "Are you interested in joining the school basketball team?"

Xiao Yan said, "No."

"Don't reject so quickly," Lu Chi still tried to entice him: "Our school basketball team has the highest uncoupled rate of all school clubs. Our players are super charming!"

Xiao Yan looked back at Lin ChuSui: "Is she also on the basketball team?"

Before Lu Chi could answer, Xiao Yan bounced the ball and made a three-pointer, "Doesn't seem so charming to me."

"..."

You're just playing hard to get.

Lin ChuSui was intrigued by Xiao Yan's skills and came over to block him. Xiao Yan dribbled skillfully to avoid her defense.

Not willing to lose, she chased him and snatched the ball, giving him a grin.

Xiao Yan also smiled unusually, "Be careful."

"Just because you're a boy doesn't mean I'll go easy on you!"

Lu Chi tried to intercept them a few times, but realized they were playing 1v1 without him. He simply folded his arms and retreated from the court, "What's with the couple's ball?"

Xiao Yan went to block Lin ChuSui. Lin ChuSui controlled the ball, faked a breakthrough, and prepared to do a step-back jumper like her dad had taught her. But Xiao Yan still managed to block her shot.

"You can do the two moves simultaneously," he reflexively gave her advice after blocking the ball: "First control the ball to fake a drive, then step back. Most important is to catch the defender off guard and not give them time to react."

After saying that, he demonstrated a step-back and jumped to make a clean shot into the basket.

Lin ChuSui suddenly stopped and stared blankly as he dribbled down the court.

"First control the ball to fake a drive, most important is...catch them off guard."

When her dad taught her the step-back jumper, he had said the exact same thing.

It was identical...words.

Seeing Lin ChuSui staring blankly at the guy, Lu Chi came over and said, "Didn't expect Brother Chu to have a day of getting owned."

Lin ChuSui remained silent, her eyes turning red.

"Hey, you're not really upset are you?" Lu Chi saw she was about to cry, and rubbed her head, "It's just a lost ball, want us bros to win it back for you?"

Before his voice faded, Lin ChuSui suddenly walked up to Xiao Yan as he was about to jump for a shot, and hugged him from behind.

All the schoolgirls: ?

What kind of weird defense is this?

Lin ChuSui hugged his waist tightly and buried her face in his clothes, nuzzling forcefully—

"Dad."

Xiao Yan looked back, "Although you lost to me, there's no need to..."

She's calling me dad?

Lin ChuSui closed her eyes, wiping her tears on his clothes, "Shut up."

Just let me

quietly...

hug you.

At this moment, Xiao Yan finally noticed the mission progress bar next to the life countdown on the bottom left corner:

Mission Progress - 1%.
