Chapter 13: The Thief
As long as you force yourself not to think about the future of the untimely death for the time being, this last week is the happiest week for Xiao Yao since he came to the Demon Capital.
Every night, he can spend time alone with Yu Luying.
After returning home in the evening, he always wanted to talk to Shen Tianyun, but he couldn't find anyone for several days.
"When will she be back? It can't be a night, right? Shen Jie asked him in a text message.
"I don't know...... Probably not, right? Xiao Yao replied.
"It's not going to work, you have to figure it out." Shen Jie said.
Yes, every day, he puts a considerable amount of energy into texting and chatting with Shen Jie.
The inbox has a limited capacity, and it has to be cleaned every day, and Xiao Yao needs to make difficult trade-offs.
"By the way, you don't usually attend classes, do you?" On Thursday afternoon, Shen Jie finally asked him this.
"yes, no." After Xiao Yao typed these five words, he deleted them again and changed them to "Listen." ”
"Really? Then you...... I'm going to take a lecture too, right? ”
Xiao Yao frowned, did this mean ending the conversation?
Rarely, before he could reply, a second message followed.
"And when I send you a message at night, you're slow to reply."
"Ah, I'm sorry, that's me making up classes recently," Xiao Yao thought for a while, deleted the word "make-up class" and replaced it with "intensive learning": "That teacher didn't allow me to touch my phone during study." ”
In all fairness, there is not a single word of falsehood in this sentence itself.
When Yu Luying, a good student, was a teacher, she was typical of being too much of a figure - that is, she would grasp discipline, but she was not good at developing the potential of stupid students.
However, the situation seems to have changed recently: it has only been two nights, and Xiao Yao already feels that he is beginning to understand the class, which is simply unscientific.
Why didn't the tutor that my grandmother spent money on in the past have this effect?
"Of course I teach well." At that time, Yu Luying said.
"Actually, really, I'm quite smart, but I don't focus on studying. Don't look at me with that kind of look, this is what Mr. Yao said. ”
Anyway, since you have obtained the essentials for the first time, it means that there is still salvation for repeating the grade.
Meantime...... I always feel that the relationship between me and Yu Luying has improved somewhat.
and the relationship with Shen Jie...... After being sure, Yu Luying shouldn't feel that she still hasn't given up.
In that case, it would be logical to be a buddy like before.
It is said that when the time comes, love and friendship will be harvested, what is there not to be satisfied with? What is my wife inferior to Yu Luying?
Xiao Yao said this to himself, and took his eyes off Yu Luying's back in the front row to see if Shen Jie had replied to the message.
The next class is history, Xiao Yao's interest subject, so he naturally listened carefully.
"On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted the ...... of the Ninety-Five Theses on the door of the Chapel of All Saints in Wittenberg, Germany."
Mr. Jiang is a very skinny old man, and he is an intellectual at first glance.
He took off his reading glasses, hung them around his neck, and his gaze swept across the audience.
"Then, it's up to Yu Luying...... Ou Yuqin, who looked drowsy in the back row, replied, what kind of movement is this? ”
"......" went unanswered.
"Classmate Ou Yuqin?"
"Teacher Jiang," the girl with long wavy hair stood up slowly: "Teacher, I don't call Ou Yuqin, please call me Ouyang Qianqian, thank you." ”
There was a burst of snickering and whispering in the class, and Xiao Yao also looked up at this "Ouyang Qianqian".
The girl wore a modified school uniform and had her nails done. When people see her for the first time, what they feel is not a surprise in her beauty, but a kind of liveliness and comfort like an elf dancing at their fingertips. Her skin is not the traditional aesthetic of white, but a mild pale brown – and unlike the rough skin that is generally thought to represent dark colors, her skin has a light, coffee-milk appearance.
In this cup of coffee milk, there are even a little chocolate chips - her face has some acne that is not too much or no less, and it is not deep or shallow, which should be a taboo for girls at this age, but it does not cover her beauty at all, but adds a different charm and style to her. Xiao Yao remembered that before her hair was dyed, it would still be a faint yellow in the sun, and there were incurled bangs on her forehead.
Today she wore a pair of large, round glasses, which made her already small eyes look even bigger, and under the small, upturned nose were bright red lips: even without lipstick, they were as red as flames, and they contrasted strongly with her skin.
"Then, Ouyang Qianqian......" Faced with this unruly face, Teacher Jiang reluctantly put on his glasses again.
"The Reformation." Ouyang Qianqian sat down after speaking.
"Okay, so let's move on......"
His words were interrupted by a musical ringtone on the radio.
Before the history teacher could say that the class was over, the classroom began to be noisy, and some people began to pack their school bags.
As soon as Teacher Jiang went out with his front foot, Mr. Yao, the head teacher, walked in with his back foot.
"Don't go, everyone! There's something to talk about," Mr. Yao said aloud.
The majesty of the head teacher was still there, and the classroom instantly fell silent.
"The matter of physical examination, our class is tomorrow," Teacher Yao looked at the watch in his hand: "Don't eat breakfast, and then ...... And also...... It's gone, the classmates on duty stay, and the others ......"
-- Dividing line --
After school, church reception room.
"If you're sick, you're ...... with the teacher," Yu Luying complained.
"Hey, the second middle school girl." Xiao Yao buried himself in making the papers, and responded: "It's not the first day that she is like this, when she introduces herself at the beginning of school, she just stands on the podium and says: I don't like my scientific name, please call me Ouyang Qianqian." ”
"I don't like my name yet."
"Why, Yu Luying sounds so good," Xiao Yao glanced up at her: "Yes, I actually thought about getting a ...... for myself when I was in junior high school."
"The pen name is a pen name, and she is different. Moreover, can the surname be changed? ”
"We have to be reasonable, people are ......"
"Ah, I almost forgot again, you're her brother." Yu Luying pretended to be surprised: "You just talk to her." ”
"Oh, don't be angry......" Xiao Yao put down his pen and poked her arm.
"Don't touch me!" Yu Luying twisted.
"Okay, good, Ou Yuqin is a bastard, and he is a big worker." Xiao Yao rotated the homework book in front of him 90 degrees: "I have proved this question, can you take a look?" ”
"The wrong formula is used here......" Yu Luying took a sip of water and returned to her usual appearance.
After finishing this question, Yu Luying seemed to suddenly think of something.
"By the way, tomorrow Friday, our orchestra will rehearse in the evening, and I can spare it during the day on Saturday, so the progress will be ......."
"Saturday? Is it okay to do it on Sunday? Xiao Yao was stunned: "I may ...... on Saturday"
Yu Luying shook her head: "No, Sunday Mass is going to be Sunday, and there is a rehearsal for the choir class, and there are a lot of things in the hall, you know - you have an appointment with someone?" ”
"Hmm...... Yes. ”
Yu Luying didn't ask who it was, but just folded the test paper in her hand neatly and touched it vertically on the table: "Let's be here today, my little uncle will be back in a while." ”
Hearing the words "little uncle", Xiao Yao was a little nervous: "Ah, good...... That's right, Yu Luying. ”
"Huh?" Yu Luying lowered her eyelids.
"I'll show you something." Xiao Yao took out the composition paper again.
"What is this? Poetry? Yu Luying unfolded the composition paper and read it carefully.
……
“…… You...... Why are you crying? Xiao Yao was a little scrambling to find a tissue. He felt that his eyes were also a little wet, it should be an illusion, right?
"Abandon your wife and daughter," Yu Luying wiped her eyes fiercely with the back of her hand: "Go to hell!" ”
"Abandon your wife and daughter?" Xiao Yao was a little confused, how did she know that she was "female"?
"I'm sorry," the girl calmed down and whispered, "I'm too out of shape." ”
"It's okay," Xiao Yao snorted: "Which of us is so familiar with each other." ”
Yu Luying didn't speak, just refolded the composition paper, gently pushed it in front of Xiao Yao, and took out half a pack of tissues from her schoolbag.
"You wrote this?" Yu Luying wiped her eyes.
"No, it's me...... A friend wrote it, and I just wanted to know what was going on. ”
"Isn't that obvious?" Yu Luying was a little surprised: "No wonder you can't pass the Chinese test." ”
"That's also the second ...... in the class" Xiao Yao laughed: "No, the point is not there, do you think her father is not dead?" ”
"Dead?" The girl's eyes widened, and she reached for the folded paper: "You wait, I'll look at it again." ”
"As long as I'm not dead, I'm relieved," Xiao Yao leaned back in his chair and said to himself: "I know her father, and her father is absolutely, definitely not that kind of person." ”
"That may be ......" Yu Luying first wanted to speak and then stopped, and then said word by word: "Who knows, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they don't know their hearts when they know people's faces." ”

The next day, Friday, morning, playground.
Under the scorching sun, Xiao Yao stood crookedly in the team like a ruined eggplant.
The sound of cicadas is irritating, especially the smell of sweat emanating from oneself and those around you.
Fortunately, the PE teacher did not enjoy this kind of teaching very much, and announced the free activities early.
Although Xiao Xiong is in class 4, the physical education class is taken together with Xiao Yao's class - it is in the physical education class that the two of them also met. Xiao Yao once again declined his invitation to play basketball with Hua Ang and Shen Bin, and found a place to sit in the shadow alone.
On such a hot day, are you so big of a chunky ball addiction?
Xiao Yao complained silently in his heart, and at the same time set his eyes to the other end of the playground - where the girls of this class and class 4 were ...... under the leadership of a female physical education teacher Running laps.
I can't help but gasp again just by looking at it...... Xiao Yao stroked his pounding heart, feeling like he was really running.
It's really inexplicable, I had a stomachache some time ago, and now I feel like my crotch is down...... Is it sweat?
Xiao Yao stood up and walked towards the men's bathroom.
He didn't see that behind him, two girls came out of the group of girls running in circles.
"Teacher Gong, Yu Luying is going to the toilet," the long-faced girl named Zhou Yao raised her right hand: "I'll accompany her." ”
The female teacher in the red sportswear nodded slightly, and Zhou Yao helped Yu Luying to walk towards the "Bell Book Tower".
"What's wrong, Leaky?" Zhou Yao whispered in Yu Luying's ear as she walked.
"I don't know...... Probably not. Yu Luying walked in a somewhat awkward posture.
"Did you bring sanitary napkins?" Zhou Yao asked: "I've been here for half a month, and I haven't brought it." ”
"I have," Yu Luying nodded: "Can you help me bring my schoolbag?" Sorry ......."
"Wait." Zhou Yao sent Yu Luying into the women's toilet, spread her feet and went back to the classroom, and carried Yu Luying's schoolbag.
"It's not leaking," Yu Luying opened the schoolbag and took out the sanitary napkins and spare underwear inside: "But let's change the pad, just in case." ”
"I've got all the underwear, you've been through a lot of battles." Zhou Yao laughed.
Yu Luying threw a punch.
-- Dividing line --
Ten minutes before the end of physical education class, Teacher Yao urged the students in her class to go to the health room to take a physical examination.
When queuing up to get on the scale, Yu Luying looked left and right, as if she didn't see Xiao Yao.
She got off the scale, said hello to the female classmates who were still in line, and decided to go back to the classroom first.
On the third floor of the "Bell Book Tower", Yu Luying turned into the corridor, but saw a familiar back figure coming out of the front door of her class classroom, as if holding something in her hand, trotting in the direction of the toilet.
It's not so much a "trot" as it is actually more like ...... "floating"?
This back......
"Xiao ......!" Yu Luying blurted out first, and then covered her mouth hesitantly.
She wiped her eyes vigorously, and the figure was gone.
……
Standing stunned for a moment, the girl walked into the classroom.
"Yingying, dear, why don't you wait for me?" Zhou Yao walked in with his heels, and then people came in one after another.
"I'm a little dizzy and want to rest," Yu Luying said as she leaned into her desk, "What's next?" ”
"Creature, like." Zhou Yao said, "Well, what's wrong?" ”
"Why is the mouth of the bag open...... It seems to have been moved. Yu Luying muttered and continued to fumble around in her bag.
Zhou Yao stretched his head over: "Did you lose something?" ”
"Hmm......" Yu Luying forced a smile: "No, no." ”
The eyes of the same table continued to explore the inside of Yu Luying's schoolbag, and stretched out a finger: "I also remember that you put it in this position." ”
"They all said they didn't lose anything." Yu Luying said uneasily, while trying to cover the zipper of the schoolbag.
"Don't think about it, it must be him." The table mate turned his face away and looked at Xiao Yao's seat, which was empty.
"Forget it, don't guess, forget it." Yu Luying whispered and touched her arm.
"How can there be such a disgusting thing, go and tell Teacher Yao." Zhou Yao said with some excitement.
"You ...... quietly"
"What's the matter?" The surrounding classmates noticed the commotion here.
"Yu Luying's Inner ......"
"Don't say it!" Yu Luying stopped it loudly, it was too late.
"And this kind of thing? Be sure to get the prisoner out! How can there be such people in our class! "A couple of people started gossiping.
"That's it! Call it a day! Yu Luying's voice rose a few decibels, then pounced on the table, burying her face in her arms.
"Okay, okay, you guys don't say any more." Zhou Yao shook Yu Luying's arm: "It's okay, Yu Luying?" ”
Yu Luying didn't speak, nor did she look up, but just shook her arm violently.
"It hurts!" Zhou Yao complained.
Yu Luying stood up abruptly, rubbing her eyes with her palms, and rushed out of the classroom.
"Yu Luying!" Zhou Yao chased him out.
Yu Luying ran down the corridor, turned a corner, and stopped at the door of the toilet.
She saw Xiao Yao happily shaking his hand that was still dripping and coming out of the men's toilet: "Hey, Yu Luying, such a coincidence?" Have you finished your medical check-up? ”
