I'm in high school, is my dating system working correctly?

The last PE class and extracurricular activity time were combined, and the PE teacher didn't ask us to assemble at the end, and just dismissed the get out of class. The happy time was extended, and there were only four or five students in the classroom of Class 7.

Lu Yu returned to the classroom, chatted casually with a few classmates about what happened after the basketball court, went back to his seat, and checked his phone.

Ok?

News about Cheng Bailu.

Moreover, it appears on both WeChat and QQ; it's the same message.

[Bai Lu]: How is your injury?

The message was sent around the time the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

This means that the top student in the grade probably left before the PE class was over, and sent a message on his phone almost as soon as get out of class ended.

[Lu Yu]: I never thought even a top student would break school rules, skipping class and coming back to the classroom to use their phone. [doge]

"I......"

In the classroom of the honors class, Cheng Bailu looked at the messages on her phone, hesitant to speak.

Before I could figure out how to reply, my phone vibrated again.

[Lu Yu]: It's just a minor injury. Wait for me after school.

He also posted a happyhappyhappy Hakimi emoji.

Cheng Bailu stared at the message for a while before replying with an "Mm".

Then, I silently saved the emoji that Lu Yu sent as an emoji.

Classroom of Grade 11, Class 7.

Upon seeing the reply, Lu Yu tossed his phone into his bag and pulled out his homework.

Since I can't play ball, I can only do math problems.

The math homework left by Qin Zhijie was a piece of cake.

The physics reference book isn't too difficult to read.

Between chemistry and biology, Lu Yu chose biology, which only had two pages of exercises.

Just as "Walking in the Secret Garden" started playing, I finished the last biology question.

So satisfying! I don't have to carry three subjects' worth of homework home.

Although English and chemistry were enough to torment Lu Yu until late at night, at least there was Chinese to have as a dessert.

This is about the little glutton.

Get up.

"hiss--"

The sudden pulling after sitting for a long time caused a sharp pain in the wound.

Lu Yu's lips twitched as he slowly slung his backpack over his shoulder.

Then they saw Cheng Bailu standing at the entrance of Class 7, looking at them with concern.

"Are you really alright?"

"No problem, why don't you just come in?"

Lu Yu stretched his knees, and after getting used to it, they didn't hurt anymore. He walked to the door and asked curiously.

"You can't switch classes."

Cheng Bailu answered seriously.

She stood precisely on the line at the doorway, without crossing the line.

Noticing Lu Yu's gaze, Cheng Bailu looked away.

"I don't switch classes."

So you mean you only care about yourself, and I don't care if I switch classes, right?

You're the kind of person who's always thinking about yourself.

Lu Yu felt that Cheng Bailu also had a bit of a dry sense of humor.

"Let's go, I feel like I'll have good luck today."

The system still owes me 1,500 yuan.

"Good luck?"

Cheng Bailu didn't understand. She followed Lu Yu downstairs, stepping on her own shadow in the sunset, and walked out of the school gate.

"what?"

The two had just left the school gate when Zhou Qianyun and Ji Xuan, carrying badminton rackets, happened to pass by.

Ji Xuan is tall and has sharp eyes; she immediately noticed two familiar figures walking together.

"Are those two Lu Yu and Cheng Bailu?"

"where?"

Zhou Qianyun looked over, but there were many students leaving school, and the two of them had long been swallowed up by the wave of school uniforms.

"Qianyun, you've changed."

Ji Xuan chuckled when she saw her friend looking around.

"What's wrong?"

"If it were before, you would definitely say, 'What does that have to do with me?' and ignore it completely. You wouldn't be so concerned as to go looking for me now."

Ji Xuan's teasing made Zhou Qianyun freeze in place.

"You've got some nerve, trying to play me for a fool!"

She reached out and pinched Ji Xuan's waist, making the tall girl laugh so hard she almost fell over, begging for mercy repeatedly.

"No, really, I really saw them walk away together... Please, have mercy, have mercy!"

Like background music in someone's memory, the clear laughter and chasing sounds of a young girl echoed between the buildings.

I was really lucky today; there were still seats available on the bus.

The passengers who had been on the bus had just gotten off when Lu Yu and his group boarded the back window seats.

As usual, Lu Yu sat by the window, and Cheng Bailu sat on the outside.

As was his habit, he took out his earphones to listen to music, and just as he was about to play it, he was met with a curious gaze from a young girl.

Are you listening to an English listening exercise?

Cheng Bailu unexpectedly took the initiative to start the conversation.

The hand hovering over the music app is frozen in time.

"Do English songs count as English listening comprehension?"

"What song is it?"

Cheng Bailu seemed quite interested.

No, shouldn't you be seriously criticizing English songs for what kind of English listening practice?

I get it. As the top student in the grade, you're worried that my efforts will threaten your position, so you indulge me in pleasure, right?

Since that's the case, I'll expose you.

"Do you want to listen together?"

Lu Yu simply took off his earphones and handed one over.

Cheng Bailu was caught off guard by his sudden action. When she realized what was happening, she stared at the single earphone and blinked several times.

"The one on the right."

Lu Yu reminded her, thinking she didn't know what was around.

"Um......"

Cheng Bailu reached out and took the earphone, putting it in her right ear.

In-ear headphones will slightly compress the ears, giving a feeling of fullness.

Lu Yu hurriedly flipped through his English song list.

He doesn't listen to many English songs, and considering the lyrics, he doesn't have much time left for himself.

Why is there no sound?

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Cheng Bailu blinked and looked over with a bewildered expression.

Lu Yu's finger traced across "Smooth Criminal," paused briefly on "Golden Slumbers," and finally landed on "Bohemian Rhapsody."

"This one, 'Bohemian Rhapsody'."

A chorus, as if from a church, filled my headphones.

While listening to the lyrics that he could recite from memory, Lu Yu secretly observed Cheng Bailu's reaction.

Cheng Bailu remained silent, quietly listening to the melody of the song coming from the single earphone. Sometimes she would tighten her grip on the strap of her backpack, and sometimes she would purse her lips, as if she were empathizing with the song.

Only when the male solo with piano accompaniment ended and everything seemed to have settled did she slowly exhale.

"How is it?"

Lu Yu pressed pause before the automatic song selection switched to "Billie Jean".

"Hmm... let me think about my wording."

Cheng Bailu took off her earphones and carefully handed them back to Lu Yu. Her fingers lightly touched the boy's palm before she immediately withdrew them.

"There's no need to take it so seriously."

Lu Yu didn't put the earphone back on; instead, he took off the one in his left ear.

"...I think this is a very complex song. Its theme isn't the kind of love found in pop songs, but rather grander topics like death and life..."

Cheng Bailu clearly understood the lyrics.

Listening comprehension: Full marks.

The essay also received a perfect score.

She went on and on about her understanding of the lyrics, even including some comments on the melody. If she had been born into a wealthy family, Cheng Bailu might already be a young musician playing the piano on a big stage.

"...Am I right?"

Even at the very end, they didn't forget to check the answers.

"I think everyone has their own interpretation of Hamlet, and it's enough to have your own understanding; there's no need for a standard answer."

Actually, Lu Yu used to just listen to songs without thinking too much about them, so he could only say some repetitive things.

"However, there is actually a movie of the same name for this song, which tells the story of the band that created it. It's quite good, and we can watch it together sometime."

He enjoys watching movies and watching other people's reactions to them. When he was a child, he would catch Zhou Qianyun watching horror movies like "The Shining" and enjoy watching her grab her arm in fear and only dare to peek at the screen through her fingers.

1. Together?

Cheng Bailu's heart skipped a beat. She didn't dare to ask any questions and just nodded as if she understood.

next second.

In Lu Yu's field of vision, indifferent and cold words appeared out of place.

[While idly on public transport, you overheard a murmur revealing the true nature of the world; having long been on the verge of death, you listened to an indescribable melody; your sanity is dwindling.]

You've gone into a temporary frenzy.

[Symptom acquired: Peeping into secrets (ten minutes)]
