Chapter 1 — Sunlight on the School Desk

My childhood friend criticized me for speaking flirtatiously and not acting like a girl. Tell me to learn in the gentle style of the school beauty. Unexpectedly, the beauty queen kept staring at my lips, her eyes as if she were thinking about something. “I heard you talk so much that even mute people can open their mouths?” She asked me to harass her autistic younger brother — every time he opened his mouth to speak, she would pay me one thousand yuan. The beauty queen is still too naive... Evil cultivators have their own ways. I walked to the back row of the classroom and gently knocked on the quiet boy's desk. "Aren't you going to explain to everyone? About last night you licked my feet while I was sleeping." He opened his eyes wide, cracks immediately appearing on his cold face. "I do not have." I confidently turned my head and smiled brightly at the beauty queen. “Send money.” 1 "Aren't you going to explain to everyone? About last night you licked my feet while I was sleeping." As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class fell into a dead silence. The gloomy teenager who was still bowing his head in the corner of the classroom slowly opened his eyes, cracks began to appear on his cold face like ice. "I do not have." The school beauty quickly took a few steps forward. There was no disgust in her eyes, only admiration to the point of worshiping her to the ground. I thought she was just joking, but unexpectedly, without saying anything, she actually transferred money to me. While transferring the money, the hands of the beauty queen - who is always known for being calm and cold - trembled non-stop. She grabbed my hand, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw. “Master, please save my brother.” She said her parents took Tan Du to see all kinds of psychiatrists, large and small, at home and abroad, and the result was only one sentence: "The best way is for him to connect with someone his own age, to feel the beauty that should be present at this age." But Tan Du rejects everyone outside the family. At this age, we all have pride, so Tan Du's unpleasant personality makes no one want to take on this tiring task. “Just stick to her, every time she says one more sentence, I'll pay you another thousand.” The beauty queen held my hand tightly, as if she was clinging to a life-saving benefactor. I also held her hand again, looking at the thousand yuan bill like I saw a living Bodhisattva handing out money. Just harassing others? I'm the best at this! From childhood to adulthood, in the eyes of all teachers, I was the embodiment of a fly that specialized in causing trouble. In elementary school, to keep me quiet, my homeroom teacher even sat me next to a deaf student. As a result, I learned sign language and secretly chatted with my table mates under the table. His hands danced wildly as if he were performing a Naruto seal, so fast that it made his eyes dizzy. My tablemate talked about the exciting part and her fingers almost cramped. The teacher found my mother and said: "If your child continues like this, he won't be able to make friends with even stray dogs on the street! Please take him to the doctor quickly!" This job is tailor-made for me. What's more, the person who needs to be "harassed"... is so handsome. I turned my head to look at Tan Du. As soon as Tan Du let out the three words, he immediately lowered his head. It seemed like he was regretting his words, now he just turned his black head towards us. And the person who was completely ignored - Duong Tham's childhood friend - still refused to give up and boldly rushed forward. He saw me accepting money from the beauty queen, without saying a word he grabbed my phone. "Chu Nhuoc, the most important thing right now is to study, don't hang out with bad people." The beauty queen, whom he had just called "goddess", immediately turned around, her eyes cold, returning to her usual calm appearance. “Who are you calling inappropriate?” Duong Tham's throat choked and immediately couldn't say a word. I pushed his hand away. Before, I was really blind, why didn't I realize that Duong Tham was the type of person who only knew how to bully the weak, and when he saw someone strong, he would retreat? He was about to say something when the class bell rang. I jumped back to my seat, not paying attention anymore. That very day, the beauty queen used her money power to arrange for me to sit at the same table with Tan Du. "Teacher, my younger brother is a special person. He comes to school mainly to make friends. And Chu Nhuoc is very suitable to be his friend." “The weather is getting hotter and hotter these days, I think our school should install some more air conditioners.” The teacher immediately fell silent. I packed my things and sat next to Tan Du, who was still sleeping with his head down. Duong Tham next to him tilted his head to look at me, his eyes as if he wanted to burn me to ashes. I sat and watched Tan Du's neck throughout the entire class period. He was clearly awake, but because he avoided sitting with me, he refused to raise his head - really interesting. 2 As soon as second period ended, I leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Tan Du, do you know how white your neck is? White as... a duck's neck, looking at it makes you want to take a bite..." Maybe I leaned too close, Tan Du jumped, suddenly raised his head, looking at me in panic. I immediately raised my phone, took a photo of that lively expression, and sent it to his sister. Where is the autism here? Obviously knows how to play! Such rich expressions, even more vivid than mine! But a few classes later, I realized: Tan Du is... extremely difficult. No matter what I said, he was like a piece of wood — he didn't move, he didn't react, he didn't blink. By the time the school bell rang, I was talking until my mouth was dry, but... I felt extremely excited. Because no one has ever listened to me talk so much without calling me "stupid". Even if I can't earn money, I still think I've found my soulmate. I looked at Tan Du's white, onion-like fingers slowly closing the book, and laughed out loud. “Last English class, what else did you do?” Tan Du's finger stopped, turned his head and glanced at me, then turned and walked out. I quickly put on my backpack and chased after him - his sister had said earlier that their driver would take me home today. But as soon as I put my backpack on my shoulder, someone tugged it hard. I almost rolled my eyes because I was suffocated. I turned around to see Duong Tham standing behind me with a dark expression. "He doesn't even pay attention to you, can't you see? Chu Nhuoc, you're a girl, can you be a little embarrassed?" It's the second time. Today is the second time he said this to me. Even though he was someone I had secretly liked for many years... I couldn't stand his way of humiliating me over and over again. I lifted my backpack and punched him in the face. Duong Tham looked at me stunned, and I was so angry that my chest was heaving. "What's wrong with you? If I pursue you, you say I have no shame. If I pursue someone else, you say I have no shame." "What did you say this morning? That I'm a girl, why do I talk dirty all the time and not know my shame?" I laughed because I was angry - originally I didn't want to settle the matter with him. Before, it was him - every day after school, he would tell me dirty stories and laugh so much that I thought he liked that kind of thing. That's why I spent all day and night learning a few salty sentences, just so he would talk to me a few more sentences. What about the results? I became the best "licking dog" who knew how to talk nonsense in school. Since it's so difficult to please, then go die wherever you like. I violently pushed his hand away, looked at Tan Du's shadow about to disappear from sight, and quickly chased after him. “Tan Du, why didn't you wait for me?” I tilted my head and asked him, of course Tan Du didn't bother to answer. I turned my head to look at the grocery store on the side of the road and gave a clear command: "Stay still, don't move." What surprised me was — he actually stood still. I lifted my foot and walked around him. “Be obedient and wait for me to go shopping, otherwise I will tell your sister about you secretly kissing me.” Tan Du raised his eyes to look at me, this time he was no longer panicked like in the morning, but his dark eyes were still staring blankly at me. When I walked out of the grocery store holding a popsicle, I glanced at Tan Du obediently standing next to the trash can, waiting for me. Tch. I squinted my eyes and thought: I thought my type was the sunny type of teenager like Duong Tham. Why is a dark yet obedient puppy like Tan Du... so adorable? I licked the ice cream and thought, finally drawing a conclusion: It's not what I like. It's me... simply excited.
