I have a lot of green plums

What she meant was, since they are friends, they should tolerate each other's shortcomings, right?

Besides, it would be better to say that this way I would have a chance to show my ability, right? If he had any questions, I would be able to help him solve them.

Well, the test results will be out after the holiday. He will definitely be very sad then. Should I prepare gifts in advance to comfort him?

“I don’t admit that.”

Si Yue Yuzhi thought about it and knew why the girl had such an impression of him. He was not angry, but instead came up with a good idea.

"Maybe I'm much smarter than you." Si Yue Yuzhi spoke first to arouse the girl's desire to win.

"what?"

Now it was Ying Lili's turn to be unwilling to admit defeat. She puffed up her cheeks and said, "How dare you say that, you guy?"

Although she had a poor foundation due to some reasons, she was not careless in her studies and her learning ability was relatively good, so even if her grades were not the best in the class, they were at least in the middle.

She's definitely better than this guy!

"That's true." Si Yue Yu Zhi smiled and boasted, "After all, I am the smartest kid in our village."

"Haha."

Ying Lili was immediately amused, and the little bit of vigilance in her heart completely disappeared because of this sentence. She said with a proud look: "Why don't we have a competition?"

It was so easy to take the bait.

Si Yue Yuzhi originally thought it would be a bit difficult, but the girl ended up stepping into the trap herself, and she was even very happy about it.

What a fool.

Si Yueyuzhi remained calm and said, "Okay, what are we going to compete in?"

"How about comparing the test results this time?"

"This time?" A hint of embarrassment appeared on Siyue Yuzhi's face at the right time.

"Hey, you don't dare anymore?"

"Then let's compete."

April Yuzhi had a determined look on his face, but in Eriri's opinion, the boy in front of him was easily aroused by his words and fell into the trap he had created.

It's really amazing that he could fall into such a simple trap. She'll have to take good care of this guy in school in the future, otherwise she'll have to speak up for him even when she's being cheated by him.

"Okay. If one of us ranks higher in this exam, the lower ranked person must unconditionally do something for the higher ranked person."

"This... this is a bit difficult. Do you want to add something else besides this?"

"Then add another month's homework!"

Ying Lili looked at Si Yueyuzhi's hesitant expression and smiled secretly. She didn't expect the boy to take the initiative to ask for more. Now, originally she only needed to do one thing, but now she has to write a month's homework for her.

Of course, if she wins, she won't really ask the other party to do these things. For her, this is just a little game to deepen the relationship with friends.

Friends are meant to be cared for, not exploited.

"Okay, I agree."

April Yuyi changed his previous hesitation and quickly agreed, which made Ying Lili stunned for a moment and felt a bad feeling in her heart.

But she quickly ignored it, always feeling that victory was hers.

This little episode brightened Eriri's mood. She even walked more briskly with a lovely smile on her face.

The way home should have been long, but perhaps because I had someone by my side, the long and lonely journey home was completed unknowingly.

Looking at the Dabieye in front of him, Si Yueyu was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had seen such a luxurious house.

“Is this the rich man’s home?”

He originally thought that he was already rich, but compared with the girl, he now felt that he was just a nouveau riche.

Living in such a house is not only a matter of background, but also a symbol of status.

"Why are you so surprised?"

For Eriri, no matter how luxurious this villa is, it is still just her home, and she doesn't find it surprising.

"Most people would be like this." Siyue Yuzhi put away his feelings, took a step back, and said to Ying Lili: "Okay, you go back quickly, I want to go home too."

"..."

Are they going to say goodbye now? Ying Lili felt a little reluctant, and she wanted to invite the boy into her house to have a visit.

"Don't you want to come in and rest for a while?" She couldn't help but ask.

"No." Si Yueyuzhi shook her head and refused: "I have to go back to cook later, otherwise they will be hungry."

"..."

They...

Chapter 180: I Will Win

"Eri, is that boy outside your classmate?"

As soon as she entered the house and took off her shoes, Yinglili was questioned by her impatient mother.

"Is he an ordinary classmate or your boyfriend?"

"Ah, I didn't expect Eriri to finally take that step. Now I have no regrets as a mom."

"Have you ever done that? When are you planning to get married? That boy looks pretty handsome. What's his family background like?"

Sayuri Sawamura's expression and movements were like an exaggerated stage play, making Eriri's face turn red and black.

"mom!"

Finally, the girl couldn't help but interrupt her mother. She knew that if she continued talking like this, she would definitely say something even more shocking.

"What's the matter? Did mom guess it right? It doesn't matter. Mom will support you no matter what."

"Can you be serious?" Ying Lili puffed her cheeks. "How can there be a mother like you? It's like you can't wait to send me away. Are you afraid that I will disturb your and dad's sweet life?"

"No, it's not like that." Sayuri Sawamura shook her head, "I'm just too happy."

"What's so fun about this?"

"Because Eriri will also take the initiative to communicate with other people of the same age."

The playfulness on Sayuri Sawamura's face disappeared, replaced by maternal tenderness.

"Do you know how long I have been looking forward to this day? Nine hundred and fifty-five days."

Ever since that incident, she had been hoping almost every day that her daughter would be able to move on from the past and start a new life, instead of being bound by the shackles of the past.

However, she waited for a long time but didn't see her come out, as if her heart was completely closed.

As a mother, she felt the most distressed, but her daughter's choice made her powerless even though she wanted to help.

She had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally saw her walk out of the room more than a month ago. Now she finally saw her able to communicate normally with others.

As expected, she was happiest when she saw it with her own eyes, while hearing about it from others always made her feel uneasy.

"..."

Ying Lili fell silent. She also knew that such a long period of self-isolation had put her mother under a lot of psychological pressure.

She also gradually realized that her self-harm would not only hurt herself, but also those who cared about her.

How did my mother get through these nearly 1,000 days? And why did she only understand this truth now?

"Okay, okay, Eriri, don't think so much." Seeing that her daughter didn't say anything, Sayuri Sawamura quickly changed the subject. She didn't want to make her daughter autistic again.

"Is that boy the one you told me about last time?"

Sayuri Sawamura remembered hearing about her 'friend' from her daughter, but she had never seen her in person.

Now she boldly guessed that the young man was the friend her daughter was talking about.

"Yes." Ying Lili nodded, "It's him, April Yuzhi."

"Then why don't you invite him to your house to play for a while." Sayuri Sawamura chuckled, "Are you being too embarrassed?"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. He just has something urgent to go back for."

As she spoke, Eriri couldn't help but think of what the other person had just said, and she couldn't help but start imagining the boy busy in the kitchen.

This look naturally did not escape Sayuri Sawamura's eyes, and she couldn't help feeling happy and worried at the same time.

I am happy that my silly daughter is still willing to like someone else, but I am also worried that she dare not admit her feelings because of her personality.

If this is the case, she might not be able to be with the person she loves in the end. At that time, she couldn't imagine how sad this hypocritical child would be.

"Is that so? It seems you don't like him very much either."

As someone who has experienced this, Sayuri Sawamura feels that she should make her daughter aware of the seriousness of the problem. After all, she probably doesn't know what's going on in her heart.

"Huh? How could I not like it..." Ying Lili denied it subconsciously, but soon realized that this was a trap set by her mother.

The words had already been said and heard by her mother, so she couldn't take them back. Ying Lili stared at her mother with a red face.

"Mom, what did you tell me to say?"

"Hehe." Sayuri Sawamura laughed proudly, "So Eriri likes that boy."

Hearing this, Ying Lili's face became even redder. She knew that there was no way to deny it, so she could only give up and patch up the problem.

"Well, of course. After all, we are friends. Is there anything wrong with liking your friends?"

As she said this, most of her shyness disappeared and she gradually became more confident.

"That's right, we are just ordinary people. My liking for him is just the liking between friends!"

This idiot... Sayuri Sawamura was speechless. She really didn't expect Eriri to say that. She had already admitted it but she was still being stubborn. She would really cry then.

But she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Sayuri Sawamura said earnestly, "Eri, you have to understand that liking someone is not shameful, and you also have to understand what kind of liking you really are."

If it was really just love between friends, then she would be happy and wouldn't say so much. But it's obviously that kind of love but she refuses to admit it. If this continues, the only one who gets hurt is herself.

"..."

"Of course, it's possible that I'm thinking too much. But I hope that you, Eriri, can think carefully, or face it bravely."

Seeing that her daughter remained silent, Sayuri Sawamura still left her a way out and did not push her too hard.

Well, if possible, she really hopes that Eriri's love for that boy is just the love between friends, so that at least her daughter won't be hurt again.

The holiday passed amid the wailing of the students. The first thing everyone did when they returned to the classroom early in the morning was to hand in or copy homework.

There is a lot of homework during this Golden Week, basically covering all subjects, and it makes people feel dizzy when doing it.

Si Yue Yuzhi just started writing last night. Even though he wrote very quickly, he still finished late into the night. He got up quite early in the morning, so he didn't get much sleep.

He felt quite resentful.

I hate myself for not being able to write a little bit every day like the two girls at home, so that I don’t have to spend one night to create a miracle.

This was the first time in his life that he had to write so much homework. Before that, whether in elementary school or junior high school, no matter what holiday it was, he had never been assigned homework by the teacher.

Because he had good grades and was considered an excellent child by his teachers, he had the privilege of not having to do homework.

He hoped that after the results of this exam came out, he would still be able to obtain privileges so that he wouldn't have to spend too much time on homework.

With his chin propped up and looking at the words "Hand in homework" written on the blackboard, Si Yue Yuzhi couldn't help but yawn.

"Open your mouth so wide, do you want to eat someone?"

Si Yueyuzhi knew who it was just by hearing the voice, and he responded: "I'm not Hannibal."

"Hannibal? Who?"

April Yuzhi's words left the girl somewhat puzzled.

Unexpectedly, the girl didn't know this, so Si Yue Yu Zhi couldn't tell her directly, but explained tactfully: "He is a guy who likes to be open-hearted to others."

"He's just a good guy."

"...He is indeed a good man."
