Chapter 22 – Early spring

It was just after school, the weather was still very cold, and the continuous rainy days seem to be colder than the previous snowy days.

Luo Zhengli discovered that after winter vacation, Chi Tang and You Yu in the bedroom seemed to be on much better terms than last semester.

Studying on her own the next night, when she was about to sleep, she suddenly saw You Yu put something in the Chi Tang quilt on the upper bunk.

What? Luo Zhengli was very curious. She pretended not to pay attention, and when You Yu left, she ran over immediately, opened the Chi Tang quilt, and looked inside. It was a hot water bottle.

In winter, the temperature was low, and many people have bought hot water bottles that could be charged directly, so basically, no one bought hot water bottles for hot water. Luo Zhengli thought it was something, but she didn’t expect it to be such a thing. She pouted her lips and put down the quilt to gossip with her friends.

“I just saw You Yu put something on the bed, guess what?”

“What? Is it money?”

“No, it’s a hot water bottle for hot water. She must have stolen Chi Tang’s hot water bottle for her use and put it back for her before Chi Tang came back. But how did Chi Tang buy such a hot water bottle? She is not very rich.”

She looked up and saw Chi Tang walking into the bedroom with a basin, and immediately shut her mouth, squinting at her from the corner of her eye.

Chi Tang climbed to the upper bunk, opened the quilt, and stuffed herself into it. She stopped and pulled the quilt to look inside. Luo Zhengli didn’t see her expression clearly, so she saw her go straight into the quilt and play with her phone.

Without being able to see anything from her, Luo Zhengli lost interest.

Before the lights were turned off, You Yu came back from the classroom with a cold wind. She closed the door and walked to her bed. Luo Zhengli glanced at her and saw Chi Tang drop a hand from the upper bunk and land in front of You Yu.

You Yu smiled when she saw the hand sticking out of the quilt, raised her head, and asked in a low voice, “Is it warm?”

Luo Zhengli listened carefully and heard Chi Tang say: “Why did you bring all the hot water bottles you used there?”

“Where is it used”? where? Luo Zhengli did not understand.

Of course, she didn’t know that this hot water bottle was bought by Chi Tang and You Yu when they were living together during the Chinese New Year. They didn’t buy a rechargeable hot water bottle. Chi Tang was not warm, so they bought this hot water bottle and improvised. Since they bought this hot water bottle, they boiled a pot of water every night and filled Chi Tang’s hot water bottle.

When they came back, You Yu brought this hot water bottle with her. She felt that it could still be used and could not be wasted. Hot water was available downstairs in the dormitory, so she filled Chi Tang with a hot water bottle and stuffed it into the bed early so that she didn’t always forget to fill the hot water bottle or was too lazy to get out of bed.

Luo Zhengli only heard them whisper a few words, feeling weird in her heart, and said to her deskmate the next day: “Do you know that You Yu gave Chi Tang a hot water bottle at night? It’s funny.”

“Didn’t Chi Tang have a lot of living expenses? I guess she just wants to eat in Chi Tang’s place.”

Chi Tang in the front row tore a lollipop and put it in her mouth, and gave
You Yu one, “Eat?”

You Yu took it.

Luo Zhengli saw this scene sharply from behind, and gave her deskmate an expression of “I guess you are right.”

You Yu’s behavior of filling Chi Tang with hot water bottles continued until the temperature rose.

On a rare sunny day, the sun was shining and warm, and all the students were eager to go out in the physical education class. The headteacher originally wanted to take up the physical education class.

For fear that he would regret it, almost as soon as he stepped out of the classroom, everyone cheered out of the classroom. Within a minute, the classroom was empty, and the whole field was full of free-flying students. The boys yelled to play basketball, and the girls ran to lead the badminton.

The physical education teacher waited for the students to have fun for a while, then slowly clapped his hands, “Assemble, run first, and play again after running.”

The boys who couldn’t wait to move their legs, one by one ran faster than the other, to finish the three laps first. There were stands near the rubber track and a row of trees.

After Chi Tang finished running, she turned her head to the last row of the stands and leaned back comfortably, half of her body hidden in the shade, half of her body exposed to the sun. In such weather, it was most comfortable to lie down in the sun for a while.

She was sitting here, and You Yu was sitting next to her. She didn’t know when the habit developed. As soon as she got to physical education class or free time, Chi Tang would find a place to rest, and You Yu would follow her.

They basked in the sun. It was a bit hot, and a little breezy.

Chi Tang didn’t have a haircut all winter, and her bangs were too long, so she swept them around her face. She closed her eyes, feeling the itching of her face being swept by the wind. She did not open her eyes and lazily blew up with her mouth, trying to blow away the hair that was in the way.

The soft hair was blown up lightly and fell back to her face.

A group of people yelled on the court. Someone blew their whistle and a ball slammed into the basket.

Suddenly Chi Tang felt that someone had pulled her intrusive hair, which she couldn’t blow away, gently to one side, to the side of her ear.
She opened her eyes and just saw You Yu withdraw her hand, and she turned a page of her notes. It was a palm-sized book she carried with her with English words and various knowledge points.

The student tyrant brought a book to write the question in the physical education class last time, but the physical education teacher seemed to make a joke, so she didn’t bring the book this time, so she brought this instead.

Just now Chi Tang was lazy, just too lazy to stretch out her hand to sort her bangs, but now, she raised her hand and slapped it on You Yu’s notebook.

You Yu didn’t bother her either, the content was covered up, and she looked up at the front and began to recite, turning messing up into a test.
Chi Tang retracted her hand, You Yu lowered her head and glanced, “Well, I remember it all.”

She turned her head and said to Chi Tang, “Do you remember the words? When we have to dictate in the English class, the teacher will scold you if you make a mistake.”

Their English teacher was young and fierce. Every time they made a mistake in dictation, they were scolded. She could scold someone for half of a class. Chi Tang was annoyed with the new teacher and didn’t even want to memorize English.

Chi Tang squinted her eyes to see the leaves swaying slightly above the sun, and the sunlight leaked out. She said, “I don’t want to memorize it, I don’t want to memorize it. I will dictate it later.”

You Yu: “Alright.”

Chi Tang: “Your principles are gone again.”

You Yu: “I think it’s better not to copy, but if you don’t want to learn English, it’s okay.”

Chi Tang fell into a weird silence. She always felt that the learning environment created by You Yu recently was too relaxed, even full of doting.

Chi Tang: “Forget it. I won’t copy you, in case the English teacher sees you, she will scold you.”

You Yu had a very good temper: “No, I’m not afraid of being scolded.”

Chi Tang grabbed her hair and sat up, took her little notebook, “Forget it, I will remember it for myself, OK.”

After reading English words for a while, Chi Tang yawned. Suddenly, she suspected that her deskmate had deceived her conscience so that she studied independently. She looked to the side suspiciously, and You Yu returned her gaze with a smile.

Chi Tang: Okay, I should be concerned.
