At four o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for school to be over.
"Sweep the classroom clean. If it's not up to standard, you're doomed tomorrow." Before leaving the classroom, Wu Ya threw the broom in her hand at Bai Yuyou.
"Wu Ya, are you ready?" At this moment, there was a girl waiting for her outside the classroom.
"Coming. Where are we going tonight?" Wu Ya immediately asked with a smile.
"Let's go sing K. We've made an appointment with some handsome guys from the university next door."
"Wow!"
The sound of Wu Ya and the others leaving gradually faded away. Bai Yuyou looked at the broom on the ground and bent down to pick it up slowly.
[Trust your instincts.]
For some reason, Ye Shuang's words at noon seemed to be engraved in her heart.
She shouldn't be doing these things.
Bai Yuyou thought. Why should she be doing these things?
She gripped the broom tightly with her hand.
Just then, a voice came from the side. "Let me help you. Let's finish it quickly."
Bai Yuyou turned around and found that it was a boy, also a classmate of hers. But Bai Yuyou didn't know the boy's name.
"Why..."
"There's no why. I just can't stand them bullying others." The boy scratched his head and then looked around a bit sheepishly. After confirming that there were no other students in the class, he continued,
"It's really too much to dump all this work on you."
Bai Yuyou shook her head gently.
"Why are you just standing there? Let's start cleaning. You sweep and I'll mop the floor." Seeing Bai Yuyou who kept her head down, Luo Che urged.
But just as he finished speaking, he saw Bai Yuyou raise her head and say, "I... can't clean."
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew from the windowsill beside them, sweeping aside the girl's bangs and revealing her quiet eyes as black as obsidian. Her face hidden under the bangs was so beautiful that Luo Che was momentarily stunned.
"This isn't my job."
"You..." Luo Che opened his mouth.
She, she's so pretty!
"So, I don't need to do this." Bai Yuyou's voice lowered. She walked to the corner where the cleaning tools were and slowly put down the broom.
After picking up her satchel again, Bai Yuyou left the classroom directly. Just before leaving, the girl's voice, as gentle as the breeze, reached his ears,
"Thank you."
Luo Che stared blankly at her receding figure and then chased after her. "Slow down, wait a moment."
...
"Hmm, it should be about time, right?" Ye Shuang stood at the entrance of the teaching building and happened to see Bai Yuyou coming down.
"Let's go." Ye Shuang smiled.
Bai Yuyou nodded and then reached out to grab the hem of Ye Shuang's clothes.
The two of them walked out of the school gate.
"Get on." By the roadside at the school gate, there was a black motorcycle parked. Ye Shuang took off a helmet and handed it to Bai Yuyou.
Bai Yuyou didn't know where the motorcycle came from. She just stared blankly at the black motorcycle. It wasn't until Ye Shuang motioned for her to put on the helmet that she put it on her head.
Everything in front of her went dark.
"You silly thing, you put it on backwards." Ye Shuang tapped on the little head in front of him.
After putting on the helmet and protective gear properly, Ye Shuang let Bai Yuyou sit on the motorcycle and then started it.
"Hold onto me." As soon as Ye Shuang finished speaking, Bai Yuyou pressed herself against his back, and the warmth and softness were transmitted over.
"You're holding too tightly."
"Oh..."
Although Ye Shuang said that, Bai Yuyou still didn't let go.
Ye Shuang didn't care either. He directly drove the motorcycle out, and the surrounding scenery flashed by quickly. The girl leaned her head against Ye Shuang's back, but she also noticed that it wasn't the way home.
But Bai Yuyou didn't care. She just closed her eyes quietly because leaning against Ye Shuang made her feel an unprecedented sense of peace.
Ye Shuang focused on driving ahead. This motorcycle was borrowed from Chen Hai. It was quite expensive. Although Chen Hai said that he could use it however he wanted, Ye Shuang didn't want to damage the precious motorcycle that Chen Hai bought without his wife's knowledge.
After entering the underground garage of a commercial plaza, Ye Shuang took Bai Yuyou to the third floor of the mall.
It was Bai Yuyou's first time in such a place. When she saw the flow of people around, she subconsciously reached out to hold Ye Shuang's hand.
"There are so many people." Noticing her unease, Ye Shuang held her small hand in his,
"Let's go."
Feeling the warmth coming from the palm of his hand, Bai Yuyou nodded gently.
At the entrance of a barbershop on the third floor, Ye Shuang stopped and glanced at the signboard.
"Welcome. Do you want a haircut or a styling?" After they went in, a woman at the front desk asked with a smile.
"Is your manager here?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Yes, you..."
"I'm his friend." Ye Shuang said. Then, a voice that was sweet to the bone came from not far away. "Oh, Xiao Shuangshuang, long time no see~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Ye Shuang was immediately hugged, and a strong smell of perfume wafted over. He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Bai Yuyou beside him also stared blankly at this scene. The person who hugged Ye Shuang was a man. He was wearing tight leather pants in purple and green. He had white hair, a diamond pendant hanging from his earlobe, and black lipstick on his lips.
His every word and action showed a coquettish attitude.
"Okay, stop messing around." Ye Shuang pushed the man away and then introduced him to Bai Yuyou. "His name is Li Fu..."
"Naughty." The man covered Ye Shuang's mouth with one finger and then smiled at Bai Yuyou,
"Child, call me Aunt Li."
Bai Yuyou instinctively called out, "Aunt Li."
"Good child." Aunt Li immediately let out a series of giggles. Then, he circled around Bai Yuyou, occasionally lifting her arm and sizing up her figure.
Finally, when he reached out and lifted the girl's bangs, he seemed a bit surprised and said, "Oh, so pretty. This face is ruined by these bangs."
"Yeah, if she were a few years older, it would be amazing." After Aunt Li finished speaking, he turned to look at Ye Shuang. "So, is this the reason you brought this child to me?"
"More or less. Her hair hasn't been cut for several years. I'll leave it to you, Fugui."
"Ugh, call me Li Tiantian."
"Okay, Fugui."
A few minutes later, Bai Yuyou was taken to have her hair washed. Lying on the shampooing bed, she looked at Ye Shuang not far away, blinking her eyes with a somewhat innocent look.
Aunt Li skillfully scrubbed the girl's hair, and many of the store employees cast their gazes over. Although celebrities came to the manager for styling, they had never seen the manager wash someone's hair personally. They couldn't help but wonder who Ye Shuang and Bai Yuyou were to the manager.
"Your hair quality is really good. But what are these lumps in your hair?" Aunt Li said. As if he had touched something in the hair.
"That's... it was burned with a lighter by someone." Bai Yuyou said with a calm expression, as if she was stating something that had nothing to do with herself.
Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He turned to look at Ye Shuang beside him. At this time, Ye Shuang just gave him a look.
"It's okay. Auntie will give you a beautiful hairstyle later."
