Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Are you crazy?” Su Yi was surprised and got even more curious. Only a good student like Li Yanmo could be allowed to quit the morning self-study sessions. If Su Yi wanted to do the same thing, he would be swallowed by teachers’ reproaches.
“But what keeps you busy in the morning?” Su Yi went on questioning.
The class bell just rang. Li Yanmo didn’t answer him. He took out his books and began to prepare for the day’s first class.
The more Li Yanmo wanted to hide it, the more curious Su Yi got. It was like a cat was scratching Su Yi with its claws. Unfortunately, Li Yanmo kept his mouth shut about what he was doing in the mornings. There was no way that Su Yi could let him say a word. It seemed that Su Yi could only rely on himself to find out the truth.
Su Yi was thinking fast. He must find out what fun thing Li Yanmo was doing behind his back.
The next day, Li Yanmo took Ning Tiantian to preschool as usual.
However, there was a furtive figure behind them. The person wore a black hat that covered his whole head. He also had a mask and only showed his curious eyes.
He hid at the corner of the wall and watched Li Yanmo take a little girl to the preschool bus.
“You are taking your sister to school? What’s the importance of hiding this from me?” Su Yi rolled his eyes at Li Yanmo in the distance and decided that Li Yanmo was not an honest friend because he kept this a secret.
“But since when does he have a sister?”
Su Yi hadn’t figure it out yet and heard the loud scream of a woman.
“Catch the thief!”
Thief?
Is there a thief?
Just when Su Yi was confused, he saw two labradors coming at him, barking furiously. He was so scared that his legs froze immediately.
“Damn!” Su Yi ran immediately. He just realized who the thief that the woman said was. “I’m not a thief!”
At this time, Tiantian pointed out of the window in surprise and laughed. “Inky, look, someone is being chased by dogs.”
Su Yi was running in the direction where the school bus was going to leave. Tiantian and Li Yanmo could see him run helter-skelter through the window.
Li Yanmo turned his head and looked out of the window. He frowned slightly at the running figure. It looked familiar to him.
In a minute, he knew who it was.
Su Yi was too frightened. His hat and mask fell off when he was running. Li Yanmo saw that Su Yi was out of breath and was drenched in sweat.
Su Yi seemed to notice someone looking at him. He raised his head and looked up through the window to Li Yanmo, who looked like he was thinking about something.
“Li Yanmo, fu*k you!”
Su Yi raised his middle finger and his face looked like he was going to eat people.
Ning Tiantian turned back and looked at Li Yanmo with doubts. “Inky, I just heard him call your name. Do you know him?”
Li Yanmo put his fist to his lips to cover his laugh and said, “I don’t know him.”
“Oh…” Tiantian nodded as if she understood and looked out of the window. “He’s really unlucky. Does he know that the labradors are military dogs?”
Of course, Su Yi didn’t know. He wondered how these two labradors grew up. After chasing him for two blocks, they still didn’t give up.
He was going to collapse.
When Su Yi came back to the classroom, he fell to his knees at the door of the classroom with a loud sound and was sweating all over his body. He looked like someone who had just been fished out of the pool, and his hair was still dripping with sweat.
“Sorry, I’m late!” He cried weakly.
The teacher in charge of the class was in the middle of a lecture. The teacher frowned at him and said, “You don’t have to give such a salute even if you are late.”
