guard stolen

"--arrive."

The surrogate driver in the driver's seat suddenly spoke, Zhou Jinye did not increase the distance between him and Lin Juexiao, Lin Juexiao's eyelashes trembled slightly and he opened his eyes.

He had just fallen asleep in a daze, and subconsciously reached out to touch the handlebars first, only to notice Zhou Jinye's gaze belatedly.

Lin Juexiao asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

He touched the corner of his mouth and asked nervously, "Did I get something on my face?"

"Ah."

Zhou Jinye responded.

The substitute driver had already got off the car and left. Zhou Jinye was moving the bicycle in the rear compartment. Zhou Jinye's clean eyebrows were revealed in the moonlight. He suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped in mid-air.

He looked at Lin Juexiao, as if asking Lin Juexiao with his eyes.

Lin Juexiao probably fell asleep a little bit, nodded sleepily, and Zhou Jinye's thumb brushed the corner of his mouth the next moment.

Lin Juexiao's lips were hot, like sparks lit.

Zhou Jinye lowered his eyelashes, rubbed them seriously, and wiped the corners of Lin Juexiao's lips that didn't touch anything. It was more like he was carefully drawing Lin Juexiao's lip line.

Lin Juexiao frowned and said, "Jinye?"

"Okay." Zhou Jinye withdrew his outstretched hand, and said in a low voice, "Wipe it clean."

Lin Juexiao rubbed the corners of her eyes, opened the car door to get the key from the driver's seat, and said "thank you" to Zhou Jinye.

Zhou Jinye sat in his original position for a while, his fingers that touched Lin Juexiao seemed to start to go numb, like a slight electric shock.

He pursed his lower lip, opened the car door and went down.

Zhou Jinye followed behind Lin Juexiao and asked softly, "Are you a little drunk?"

"No." Lin Juexiao yawned, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, "I'm just a little sleepy."

"I'm going to take a shower first." Lin Juexiao said while changing his shoes, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Are you going to sleep with me today?"

Zhou Jinye shook his head stiffly, he licked his lower lip unnaturally, looked at the floor and said, "...I will sleep by myself."

He couldn't sleep well with Lin Juexiao.

"Okay." Lin Juexiao responded, stepped on her slippers to go to the bedroom to get clothes, and shouted at Zhou Jinye from a distance, "Then if you can't make it in time tomorrow, wake me up and I'll take you there."

Zhou Jinye definitely wouldn't wake Lin Juexiao up, just like the previous few weeks, he got up lightly, brought Lin Juexiao breakfast before going to school.

When he was at the door of the classroom, he heard deafening roars inside. As soon as Zhou Jinye opened the door, it was quiet for a moment, and he continued to quarrel after seeing who was coming.

As soon as Zhou Jinye returned to his seat, he saw Li Huan was about to cry.

He pulled his chair away without even asking.

Li Huan asked with a sad face, "Why don't you care about me?"

Zhou Jinye fumbled for the test paper from his schoolbag, and asked absently, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you know!! The grades are out!!" Li Huan hammered the table and broke down, "According to my experience, Teacher Chen will come to our class to arrest people soon!!"

He was trembling, and put his palms together: "I hope I do better in the exam, it's too scary to talk one-on-one with Mr. Chen!"

Zhou Jinye paused while holding the test paper, his eyes were filled with turbulence, and he asked, "What about the grades?"

"I don't know yet." Li Huan said, "I'll find out in class."

As soon as he finished speaking, the teacher's back door happened to open, which was very close to Li Huan.

Teacher Chen was holding the book in his arms, and his face was not very good-looking. The classroom was really quiet this time.

Her eyes swept across the corners of the classroom, stopped at Zhou Jinye, and finally tapped Li Huan's book with her notebook: "You go to my office first."

Li Huan's heart skipped a beat, and he cautiously walked out the back door, consciously going to the office first.

Teacher Chen was still standing in the classroom, and said coldly, "Do you still have the heart to chat?"

No one dared to speak in the classroom, Zhou Jinye sat on the seat in a panic, twirling his pen, pursing his lips in a bad mood.

He knew right after the exam that he must have done poorly in the exam.

After a while, Li Huan came in from the back door and called out the students at the front desk.

He returned to his seat, calmed down uncommonly, and opened the exercises to do.

People in the classroom were called away and came back from time to time, and almost half of them were called to the office.

The last girl came back wiping her tears and patted Zhou Jinye's shoulder. Her eyes were red from crying, and she pointed to the door, unable to speak clearly.

Zhou Jinye nodded, put down his pen, and walked out with his usual expression.

Standing at the office door, he knocked on the door, and after hearing the "Come in" from inside, Zhou Jinye opened the door and walked in, lowering his eyes and shouting "Hello, teacher".

Teacher Chen probably talked too much earlier, she took a sip of tea, pointed to the stool in front of her and said, "Sit first."

Zhou Jinye sat down, put his hands on his lap, and looked at Teacher Chen.

Teacher Chen asked, "Do you know why I called you here?"

"I know." Zhou Jinye nodded nonchalantly, "I should have done poorly in the exam."

His tone was flat, and he didn't fluctuate too much due to the quality of his grades, and he probably guessed his own grades.

Teacher Chen rubbed his brows and showed him the report card.

Knowing that he failed the exam, Zhou Jinye frowned when he saw the score column.

He sucked in the exam, worse than he thought.

Teacher Chen sighed and said, "Last year, the second-segment line was more than 490. You just brushed the edge after passing the exam this time. It's very hanging."

"I know you are studying, listening to homework and writing homework in class." Teacher Chen said, "But if you want to get into a better university, this is definitely not enough, you know Zhou Jinye?"

"With your current score, it is very likely that you will not be able to pass the undergraduate exams in the province, and you will not be able to pick any good schools outside the province."

Zhou Jinye fell silent. He lowered his head and looked at the report card with black letters on a white background.

He was already at the bottom of the class, just as Mr. Chen said, if he didn't work harder, he might really have to choose to study a major that was close to him.

What's more, he wants to stay in the province.

Zhou Jinye had to admit that he was indeed a bit hit, but he also knew that he should pay for the wasted time before,

The time owed in the past may have to be doubled now.

Zhou Jinye said: "I know Teacher, I will work hard."

Mr. Chen has taught too many students, and with just a few words, he can tell which students are perfunctory and which students really study hard.

Zhou Jinye saw the latter one, he said he would work hard, so he really will work hard.

Teacher Chen put on his glasses and waved his hand: "Then go back to your self-study first, read more books, come and ask the teacher if you don't know any questions, or ask Li Huan, his grades are not bad."

"Thank you, teacher."

Zhou Jinye stood up and walked out with his report card.

As he walked, he lowered his head to look at his scores. In fact, the other subjects were not bad, but English was particularly weak.

There was already some energy in the classroom, and Li Huan finally had some strength. He leaned over and asked feebly, "How is it?"

Zhou Jinye showed him the report card, Li Huan's expression changed a little, and he distanced himself from him and asked, "...are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhou Jinye was very calm, "It's about the same as I thought."

In fact, it was a little better than his final exam last year, but he didn't expect to get this score after half a month of study.

Li Huan glanced at Zhou Jinye with a complicated expression, then flipped through a few exercise books from his pile of books and said, "If your English is not good, you can try these."

Zhou Jinye took out a paper and took notes, and said briefly, "Thank you."

After a pause, he asked again: "If I have any questions that I don't know, can I ask you?"

Li Huan nodded calmly: "Yes, yes, of course."

Zhou Jinye said that if you study hard, you will not delay until the so-called tomorrow, but start today.

He immersed himself in the questions for a whole day, and even made several trips to the office to ask questions.

His neck felt a little sore, Zhou Jinye turned around and moved around a bit.

I don't know when the school bell rang. Most of the boarding students have gone to the cafeteria to eat, and only a few people are still doing their homework in the classroom.

Zhou Jinye took out his cell phone, which he hadn't turned on for a day, and soon there was a message from Lin Juexiao—"It seems to be raining later today. I don't think you have an umbrella. I'll come pick you up later."

"Crash-"

Coincidentally, there was a torrential rain outside. The rain came suddenly and heavily. Zhou Jinye's eyes were focused on the outside of the glass window, feeling a little dazed.

This rain was somewhat similar to the day he came to Ningcheng.

The same suddenness, the same size, and the same humidity, but the heat is gradually receding and will be replaced by the coming autumn.

"Zhou Jinye!" Before Li Huan left, he patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Do you want an umbrella? I still have more."

Zhou Jinye's eyes stopped on the black-handled umbrella, just when Li Huan thought he was going to take it, he suddenly said, "No need."

"what?"

Li Huan sat there blankly, watching Zhou Jinye, who had no umbrella, walked out without hesitation.

The rain didn't stop, and it was as heavy as ever. Standing in the teaching building, Zhou Jinye stretched out his hand first, feeling the crackling raindrops on his palm.

When Lin Juexiao sent him a message saying "here we are", he rushed through the rain curtain and ran outside the school gate.

Lin Juexiao waited for him with an umbrella, saw him running, pulled him into the umbrella and asked, "Is there no one to fight for an umbrella with you, or borrow one?"

Zhou Jinye's hair was wet from the rain, and his body was completely soaked. He squeezed under Lin Juexiao's umbrella and whispered: "There is no one in the classroom, they all left."

What a coincidence, Lin Juexiao was wearing that white shirt today, which was the one he wore the day he came to pick him up.

Zhou Jinye snatched the handle of the umbrella from Lin Juexiao's hand, and tilted the umbrella towards Lin Juexiao. His already soaked clothes were even more wet from the rain.

There are still raindrops on his eyelashes, Zhou Jinye's hair and eyes are pure black, and now they are like thick ink that has melted away.

Zhou Jinye wiped the wet part of his clothes with the palm of his hand, his Adam's apple rolled down, and under the steam, he asked Lin Juexiao:

"Can I put your shoulders?"

"It's not easy to get wet."
