Chapter 478: Qiao Mu Private High School

Dian Fang is a man who says he often hits people by accident, but the amazing thing is that this man's fly balls are like eyes, and generally only hit two kinds of people--

- - The people she likes and the people she hates.

Those she loved would bond with her and those she hated would be hospitalized with concussions, Bai Liu wondered for a moment if Fang Dian had done it on purpose, but then after being forced to watch the game from the sidelines a few times, Bai Liu had to admit with regret-

He couldn't see it.

Fang Dian , a mysterious magical human being, always has some magical operation that Bai Liu can't understand at all.

Like right now.

"This is the ice-cream stick you secretly saved, right?" Fang Dian, who was about half a head taller than Bai Liu in high school, naturally clamped Bai Liu's head with her crevice, and mysteriously pulled out a bundle of sticks from the pocket next to her skirt, "I found them in the compartment under my bed, you know how to hide them."

Bai Liu glanced at the dozen ice-cream sticks in Fang Dian's hand, and he was eerily silent for a moment.

During his high school years, many ice-cream and sorbet manufacturers organized a campaign called "One More", which is the same as the "One More" that drinks like to do nowadays. After finishing the ice-cream stick, if there is the word "One More" on the wooden ice-cream stick, you can get another ice-cream stick from the kiosk with the same ice-cream stick.

Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian have always been very lucky, and most of the ice creams they buy always come out with [One More], which they leave to Bai Liu, with [One More] written on it.

Instead of eating it, Bai Liu in high school would save it and tie it into a bundle, hiding it somewhere he felt safe - like the compartment under Fang Dian's bed.

Because Lu Yizhan also hid things inside, such as money for Fang Dian's birthday present, Bai Liu sometimes followed Lu Yizhan to commit crimes.

Now both suspects of harboring "stolen goods" have been arrested at the same time by the sleuth, Fang Dian.

"Lu Yizhan actually hid a hundred dollars under my bed." Fang Dian was thoughtful, "Is he planning to save it to buy me a gift?"

"......" Bai Liu There's little expression on his face, "There's no need to ask me if you guessed."

"I'm more curious as to why you're suddenly rummaging through the wood-paneled compartment under your bed, which is heavy and dirty, and which you never clean."

Dian Fang scratched the back of his head with a laugh, "I suddenly felt that you guys would sneak something inside so I lifted up the bedpan and turned it over, and I didn't expect that I did hide it, haha."

Bai Liu: "......"

Lu Yizhan, have you really thought about spending your life with this horrible woman?

"But I didn't think you'd secretly save up these sticks, I thought you'd have cashed them in and eaten them yourself." Fang Dian excitedly brought the sticks in front of Bai Liu and asked, "Why?"

Bai Liu's eyes shifted, "Saved to sell."

"Lies." Dian Fang dismissed it without thinking, she thought for a moment and shook her head, "How much would it cost? If you're going to get one, you'll get a big one, this is not something that would make you want money."

Fang Dian stared at the cleanly and neatly bundled bundle of ice-cream sticks in her hand, and suddenly ah'd in realization, "This ice-cream sticks can be cumulatively redeemed, you don't think you want to save up ten of them to redeem them all together, and then treat Lu Yizhan and I to a couple of expensive ice-cream sticks, do you?"

Bai Liu, who has been accurately hit on his psychology: "......"

It's useless to weasel in front of Fang Dian, Bai Liu calmly admitted: "You can't redeem very expensive popsicles, at most it's only two and a half dollars a person."

"Holy shit, this is awesome!" Fang Dian rubbed her hands together excitedly, "Two and a half bucks, that's a lovely lot to eat!"

"I haven't had Kauai Dor yet!"

Bai Liu paused, "But you bought it for me."

"Yes?" Dian Fang looks up confused, "Is there such a thing? I don't remember."

Bai Liu.

Again.

Fang Dian is so good at this kind of trick that you can't tell if she's doing it intentionally or unintentionally, and you can't even find an avenue to try to measure the trade off in return for what she's given you.

The $2.50 Cupido was bought for Fang Dian when she gave him a scholarship.

On that day, Bai Liu had just finished his evening study, he was punished by Xu Wei for sweeping the toilet, and when he was in the toilet, he was blocked by his classmate Bao Kangle with the group of boys in his class, Bao Kangle was mad that day, and Bai Liu was rarely able to get away from the toilet without being drenched by the tap water when he came out of the toilet.

He calmly picked up his desk that had been kicked an unknown number of times, wiped clean his desktop that had been scrawled with many [Orphan] and [Bitch] markers, organized his soaked textbooks to dry on the window sill, and slowly made his way downward in the darkened school building after the lights went out, his mind wave-less as he recalled the words that Xu Wei would probably look for him tomorrow and would say to him.

Why did you break another set of desks? Xu Wei would have scolded him like this, "Do you know how many desks, chairs and benches you've broken in this class? And you're scribbling on your own desk, don't you know that's forbidden by the school rules?

At this point, Bai Liu couldn't tell this woman who couldn't think with her head that no one in the world should like to scrawl words like [Orphan] over and over again on their desks, or smash their desks out of shape over and over again as if they were in a group fight.

This kind of thing is usually what some overly energetic low-value underage person likes to do.

If Bai Liu had told Xu Wei this, the matter would have never ended.

She will violently raise her voice and keep questioning you, [So you're saying that you're being bullied?

The corners of her eyebrows were covered with sarcasm and cold smiles: [What kind of families and backgrounds are the students in our class, I believe that you yourself, Fellow Bai Liu, know very well that you don't have any intercourse with them at all, and that if you hadn't done anything to piss them off, they would have come to bully you for no reason at all?

[How come they bully you instead of others? Why don't you look to yourself for the reason?]

[- Is there too much reason in yourself to find it?]

What followed was a half hour of picking fights and insults until Bai Liu bowed his head and admitted that it was his own fault, and only then would Xu Wei puff out his chest as if in victory and wave his hand as if triumphant, "Go to class."

[Next time something like this happens, look to yourself first.]

So Bai Liu simply admitted later that this is what I broke, that I was a bad student, that the orphanage would cover the cost of my damages, and that I didn't have to pay for it.

This leaves Xu Wei with no place to say anything, and holding his breath, he can only tell Bai Liu to pay attention next time and get out of here.

That night, Bai Liu was thinking about all these things while unbuttoning his school uniform, letting the wind blow into his collar to dry his clothes, and when he got to the bottom of the school building, he saw Fang Dian and Lu Yizhan waiting for him there.

Bai Liu's footsteps paused as he walked over.

They were holding up a Cupido cone with a pair of cheap-looking birthday candles in the shape of [18].

The light from the candles illuminated their faces, which were tired but still shining with smiles, and in the darkness of the hallway behind Bai Liu, the weak light provided by the candles seemed especially warm and bright.

Dian Fang's smiling face peeked out from behind the cone, and she smiled as if the light in the entire hallway had come on for a moment.

"Bai Liu, we escaped down the mountain to find you!"

Lu Yizhan will school uniform jacket off quickly, he covered to Bai Liu's thin shoulders, and helpless and anger hidden: "I'm not and you said many times, encounter this kind of thing to come to me? I and the mountain security greetings, you come he can release ......"

"Not necessarily." Fang Dian woke up the angry Lu Yizhan, she stepped forward, looked into Bai Liu's eyes, and asked Bai Liu seriously, "I know it's difficult for you to go up to the mountain, but if you need it, Lu Yizhan and I can skip class and come down here to accompany you to deal with these problems."

"Do you need it?"

Bai Liu looked back into Fang Dian's eyes and he was quiet for a long time, "I don't need to."

Lu Yizhan was so anxious that he interrupted Bai Liu's words, "It's all like this! Why are you still trying to be so strong?"

"Uh-huh." Fang Dian acted as if Lu Yizhan didn't exist at all as she nodded to Bai Liu, "Then wait until you need it."

Lu Yizhan anxiously turned his head to Fang Dian: "Wait until he needs to say more! If this goes on, Bai Liu will be forced by them to turn ......"

"Change what?" Fang Dian wondered from the bottom of her heart as she looked over at Lu Yizhan, her gaze open and clear, "I really don't think Bai Liu will change anything because of this situation... There's nothing to this situation, it's just a bunch of idiots messing around."

"I don't think just a little thing like that is going to change Bai Liu, and besides, Bai Liu will talk to us if he needs to, it's not like he's fighting this stuff in isolation."

"We'll all be on his side forever, Lu Yizhan."

As soon as Lu Yizhan was quiet, his emotions subsided, and in a daze, he let go of his right hand, which was tightly jammed onto Bai Liu's shoulder, and hung his head, "...... I see, I was the one who thought wrong."

"You know you grew up with Bai Liu and will worry about him, but you can't treat Bai Liu like a child forever." Fang Dian crossed her arms and pretended to sigh, but her eyes contained a smile as she reached out her index finger and tapped the back of the downcast Lu Yizhan's head, "He'll grow up too."

"He'll go from being a really good little kid to a really good adult."

"Don't you think it's an interesting change?"

Fang Dian looks up as she smiles and raises her arm, pushing the ice cream in her hand in front of Bai Liu.

The candle on the ice cream was more than half melted, and the light from the candle became more and more visible, shining shakily on Bai Liu's emotionless face.

The ends of his soaked hair were dripping with water, and the dark pupils of his eyes reflected Fang Dian and Lu Yizhan standing in front of him.

"Happy 18th birthday and happy bar mitzvah, Bai Liu."

"Blow out the candles, make a wish, and then take a bite of your birthday ice cream!"

Bai Liu closed his eyes, then slowly blew out the candle and ripped it off as he opened his mouth to take a bite of this soon to be melted ice cream.

Dian Fang leaned over to him and asked him with bright eyes, "What flavor?"

"Strawberries." Bai Liu paused, "Didn't you buy them? Didn't you see the wrapper?"

"Just one question." Fang Dian persisted, "What did you wish for? Did you wish for me and Lu?"

Bai Liu was quiet for a long, long time, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end just coldly took another bite of his ice cream, "Nothing was promised."

"If wishing on some so-called god would have worked, there would be no need for you and me to take the entrance exam."

Fang Dian sighed with her chin in her hand, "You're so realistic, Bai Liu, wishing is just a support, I don't believe you didn't wish for it, tell me if there's any of us!"

Bai Liu was quiet again for a long time, another drop dripping from the end of his hair, then he lowered his eyes to the melting, nearly deformed ice cream in his hand and whispered:

"I wish ...... that next year you guys would buy me ice cream that isn't strawberry flavored."

"So hard to eat."
