"Can we...can we still hold on?" Lin Zhou said. "They probably won't find out we're here so quickly."

Bai Wanwan didn't speak, her eyes closed and her body trembling slightly, "I can still... a little bit."

But as time went on, Bai Wanwan's complexion worsened, and even her eyes began to glaze over. This endless wait was filled with despair, and girls' endurance was naturally not as strong as boys' due to their innate physiological limitations.

I feel so hopeless.

This is just as disheartening as finding a public toilet on a terrible map, only to discover it's been demolished when you arrive at your destination.

Lin Zhou was also racking his brains in the equipment room when he suddenly picked up a small, empty badminton shuttlecock tube. "Shall we use this instead?"

"No." Bai Wanwan blushed even more when she saw this thing. Her thighs were pressed together, and her other hand was holding onto the basketball hoop.

"Shall I turn my back?" Lin Zhou asked, "to take my place."

"No." Wanwan's voice began to tremble with tears, her whole body filled with resistance.

With sound.

This was the first time Lin Zhou had ever seen Bai Wanwan's face turn so red.

"This won't do." Lin Zhou's gaze fell on the window of the equipment room. It wasn't very high—if he tried a little harder, he might be able to open the window and climb out.

"Wanwan, how about I help you climb out?" Lin Zhou pointed to the window above, where a beam of light was shining through the glass.

The light of redemption.

"How do we climb?" Bai Wanwan asked, as the distance was still quite high.

"Come on." Lin Zhou pulled the shelf next to him toward the window with all his might. He was not very strong, but fortunately he could still pull it.

After he finished, he squatted down and gestured for Bai Wanwan to ride on his back. "Get on, and I'll carry you on my back. Try to see if you can get off."

This is the only option at present.

"Okay..." Bai Wanwan felt she was reaching her limit and agreed without hesitation.

but--

"Lin Zhou...can you carry him?" Bai Wanwan asked a question.

She knew from a young age just how poor Lin Zhou's health was.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Lin Zhou gave a thumbs up.

Bai Wanwan hesitated for a moment when she saw Lin Zhou's broad back, but finally lifted her leg and climbed on.

The subtle movements, combined with the pressure on her body, made Bai Wanwan feel like she was about to give in again. She grabbed Lin Zhou's hair, "..."

Lin Zhou also felt very strange. He gripped Bai Wanwan's legs tightly with both hands to keep her from falling, but the warmth from the back of her neck and the faint scent of her thighs made him feel dazed for a moment.

My thighs feel ice-cold.

"Okay!" Lin Zhou didn't care about anything else and tried his best to stand up.

Although Bai Wanwan was very light, Lin Zhou still felt extremely strained.

"Is it okay...?" Bai Wanwan noticed that Lin Zhou's body was trembling.

"Okay!!!!!!!!!!" Lin Zhou roared, slowly standing up, "So you can go to the toilet!!!!!!!!! Oh oh oh oh oh!"

"Don't shout it out, you idiot!" Bai Wanwan's voice rose for the first time.

After finally standing up, Lin Zhou looked up and asked, "Is it okay?"

"Don't move your head..."

"oh."

"Almost there, can it be a little higher?" Bai Wanwan tried to reach the window not far away, but found that she was still a little short.

"No," Lin Zhou said, noticing a mat nearby. "Try stepping on the mat."

After fiddling around for a while and raising the cushion again, Bai Wanwan finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

But just then—

With a whoosh, the window of the equipment room was pulled open, revealing a short, shoulder-length head. "Oh?"

"I was just thinking, maybe the door closed too quickly, and some people were sneaking around inside and didn't come out," the short-haired girl said. "I knew it! Thank goodness, otherwise I would have been reported."

Bai Wanwan was dumbfounded.

Hearing that familiar voice, Lin Zhou, who had been looking down, shouted, "Xiao Yu, open the door! Wanwan is dying!"

"Not quite?" Ye Zhiyu blinked curiously, her gaze falling on Bai Wanwan's face. "Oh?"

Although she didn't quite understand, Ye Zhiyu pulled her head back in, and then Lin Zhou heard the sound of shoes hitting the ground outside the door. It was clear that Ye Zhiyu had climbed up.

The door to the equipment room started making noise, and Ye Zhiyu opened it.

Lin Zhou slowly put Bai Wanwan down. He subconsciously touched his neck and found that Bai Wanwan was almost unconscious. Her knees were pressed tightly together and her other hand was gripping the shelf.

"Hmm?" Ye Zhiyu, hands in her pockets, saw this scene. "So many? Should I leave for a bit?"

"What's the big deal? Quickly take Wanwan to the restroom," Lin Zhou said.

He was also exhausted.

"Oh, I see."

"What was it like before?"

Ye Zhiyu helped Bai Wanwan away. Fortunately, the restroom was only a short distance from the equipment room, and they arrived quickly.

A few minutes later, Bai Wanwan came out of the bathroom.

"Are you alright, Wanwan?" Lin Zhou asked.

"What?"

"Just now..."

"I...don't remember." Bai Wanwan looked away expressionlessly, twirling a strand of her hair with her fingers. "Nothing happened just now."

Lin Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth. "Hmm, like an ostrich."

"Hmm, nothing happened."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanwan's pretty face slowly turned red again. She suddenly raised her hand, clenched her little fist, and tapped Lin Zhou's chest several times before running away.

"So cute."

Seeing Bai Wanwan's bouncing ponytail and her ears that were so red they were almost purple, Lin Zhou couldn't help but say something.

"Indeed." Ye Zhiyu, sitting next to her, slurped up her milk tea.

"Who do you think it's because of? You should be held responsible for the culprit behind this, right?" Lin Zhou asked, turning his head.

"Oh?" Ye Zhiyu looked innocent. "I knocked on the door, but no one answered. Did I disturb you at that time?"

"We were just putting things away normally, and you kicked the door open and then immediately closed it. Who could react?!" Lin Zhou said.

Ye Zhiyu also felt a little guilty because she was rushing to the school gate to pick up her milk tea.

"Is it my fault?"

"You didn't seem to apologize at all, did you?"

"Alright, alright, I really can't do anything with you." Ye Zhiyu sighed and said sincerely, "I've reflected on it, and it's all your fault. I can't afford to make the same mistake. I'm right."

"What?"

"Tsk, it's all my fault, you're not right at all." Ye Zhiyu revealed her beady eyes, "It's all my fault."

Ye Zhiyu apologized very quickly, and Lin Zhou sensed something was off. "Wait, were you just apologizing?"

"Otherwise what?"

"That doesn't seem right?"

"Then repeat it?"

"Repeating..." Lin Zhou thought for a moment, "I've reflected on it, and it's all my fault. I'm sorry..."

"Yes, I forgive you," Ye Zhiyu said.
