Gentleness is a kind of mature state
Campus main road.
The elegant girl Liu Youyou hastily walked by, her eyes resentful yet pretending to be icy cold.
Arriving at the school gate, under the intentional or unintentional gaze of several security guards, with a "beep" sound, I swiped my card and exited.
She raised her eyes and swept away, but saw that outside the school gate on the left side under the tree, three or four motorcycles were parked, their owners with arrogant and unruly postures, their headlights uniformly facing in her direction, vaguely filled with a fierce and dangerous atmosphere.
She slightly frowned, quietly dropped a contemptuous glance, and turned to walk along the corridor outside the school.
Suddenly, the sound of a motorcycle roaring came from behind, and she felt anxious. She could feel that a motorcycle was speeding towards her.
She hastily turned around, only to see a motorcycle kicking up a cloud of dust, sweeping an arc on the ground. The owner was smoking with his teeth clenched, wearing a black jacket with his chest exposed and abdominal muscles visible, exuding an aura of arrogance and unruliness all over his body. With a slight glance, the playful yet desolate eyes made Liu Youyou hold her breath.
There was a girl with short hair and a black windbreaker sitting in the back seat, her eyes were clear and bright, but her gaze seemed to carry a hint of hostility. The girl in the black windbreaker jumped off the motorcycle and walked towards Liu Youyou with large strides, slightly raising her chin.
"Where's Xiao Cai? Isn't she with you?"
"Hmm, how would I know?"
Although Liu Youyou was not clear about the affair between Leng Xiaoyao and Ye Cai, her intuition told her that Leng Xiaoyao would threaten her position in Ye Cai's heart. For a certain kind of enemy, she didn't want to bother with him, so she gave him a disdainful glance and turned around to leave gracefully.
"Hey, where are you running to?"
Leng Xiao's eyes sparkled as she quickly chased after him, while Liu Youyou's face, which was turned away from Leng Xiao, flashed a hint of panic. She quickened her pace and lowered her head, glancing back to say, "I'm in a hurry."
Helplessly stopping in her tracks, Leng Xiaoyao let out a stifled sigh and gazed at the hurried figure of Wei Wuxian's back, muttering to herself: "This person is really... inexplicably weird..."
The man in the black jacket walked up to her, puffing on his cigarette with a sly gaze, gazing at the distant figure of Liu Youyou's back, and chuckled mischievously before turning to Leng Xiaoyu and saying, "You know him?"
Leng Xiao Ya raised an eyebrow and smiled playfully: "What? You want to hit on her?"
A wisp of smoke rose, the man in a black jacket took off his cigarette butt, lightly spat out a string of smoke rings, gazing at Liu's seemingly elegant and cold back, narrowing his eyes and curling his mouth, deeply sighing: "Damn it, this kind of woman is really unbearable for me..."
"Hmm, you half-animal, stay away from me..."
Leng Xiaoyao wrinkled her nose and smiled, kicking the back of the other person's heel with one foot, and was met with a hearty laugh from the other person. At this time, Leng Xiaoyao's older brother Yang Kun walked over with a limp, spreading his hands in confusion and asking: "What are you two doing? Did you ask anything?"
Leng Xiao Ya shook her head with a flat mouth, while Yang Kun raised his chin provocatively and shouted at the black jacket man: "Get out of here, you think you can run away from my cousin's door? You'd better get it clear!"
The man in black jacket was about to make excuses, but Xiao Yaya glared at him with her apricot eyes and said, "Yang! Stop talking nonsense!"
Avoiding the cold little girl's pinch punishment, the two men exchanged a playful glance. Yang cleared his throat and said seriously: "How about withdrawing for now? We can come again tomorrow?"
"Huh? Why? Haven't we waited for him yet?" Leng Xiaoyao asked in confusion.
Yang Kun seemed hesitant, pursed his lips and looked embarrassed, throwing a pitiful glance at the black jacket man beside him, seeking help. Leng Xiao's gaze immediately turned to the black jacket, sneering disdainfully, "What are you doing behind my back?"
"Hahaha..."
The man in the black jacket smiled awkwardly, turned his face to avoid Leng Xiaoyu's playful and flirtatious gaze, furrowed his brow and pouted, pretending to be deep in thought. Then, with a serious expression, he said: "Limei, it's been many years since we last met, don't you have anything to share with us?"
Leng Xiao Ya blinked and muttered to herself, thinking "Where did this person come from after all these years?"
Yang Kun nodded seriously and chimed in, "What you said is right, let's go with everyone to have a good time, we brothers will drink together, and tell everyone about your recent story, huh?"
After understanding, Leng Xiao Yao became displeased, lowering her eyebrows and pouting, saying: "Didn't I tell you not to talk about it? What's there to discuss?"
"Never mind, no need to bother talking to her."
Yang Kun turned around and gave a thumbs up behind her back, shouting: "Let's go, take him away!"
Leng Xiao Ya was taken aback, her eyes darting around in alarm. Before she could react, a low, husky laugh sounded, and she felt herself being swept up into the arms of a black-jacketed figure who was holding a cigarette.
"Hey hey hey! Let me down, I'm a man, for crying out loud......"
"Put me down, you bastard!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Let me tell you something. I used to be a man, okay? Hey, listen to me... Put me down!!!"
Enduring the relentless kicking, punching and slapping from Cold Xiao Yu in his arms, the black jacketed man with a cigarette in his mouth gazed straight ahead at the motorcycle, quickly ran over, flipped Cold Xiao Yu over and threw him onto the gas tank, then mounted the bike, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away with a roar.
"What's up? What's up? Is there something good to see?"
Yang Kun, riding a motorcycle, looked around at several brothers with a mischievous smile on his face, and then accelerated away from the scene.

……
Inside No. 2 Middle School.
The topic of whether or not to mind the unusual gaze from outsiders finally came to an end with a sudden gust of cool autumn wind. Ye Cai let out a deep sigh, stood up, pursed his lips, and gazed up at the vast night sky. His eyes gradually softened, and his expression became more tranquil and gentle.
"Maybe you're right, maybe it's just my own attitude problem..."
Su Xiaoqiu stood up, gazing at her profile, with a quiet and gentle smile playing on the corners of her mouth. "Actually, this world is complex yet simple, everyone has different thoughts and goals. When two people with different ideas clash, the outcome depends on one person's attitude... Hmm, it means you can't just look at the surface. No matter what kind of person or thing, there's always a reason for their existence. I think once you understand that reason, then living becomes meaningless, heh..."
Mischievous laughter, faint in the quiet night.
After a moment of silence, as if they had an unspoken understanding, they both turned around. At this time, Ye Cai smiled and said: "At first, I wanted to say something to you, but in the end, I was educated by you, hehe..."
Su Xiaoqiu rolled her eyes lazily, tilted her head thoughtfully, then turned around, placed her small hands on her chest and waved them gently, shrugged, and was about to leave.
"By the way, are you going out tonight?" Ye Cai suddenly shouted.
That distant night wind, the blurred slender figure in the distance seemed to be drifting away with the wind, but finally stopped and turned back a pair of gentle eyes, nodding slightly from afar.
Helpless, shaking her head, gazing at that innocent and lovely back figure, Ye Cai thought, perhaps this is just her way of life.
She slung her bag over her shoulder, about to leave when she took a deep breath and turned back to glance at the figure in the distance. Suddenly, she thought that perhaps she should make some changes too.
She slowly raised a gentle smile, took quiet and warm steps, her heart seemed to be filled with loving and warm colors, this state was particularly wonderful, everything around her looked soft and lovely at this moment.
She arrived at the school gate, smiled and nodded kindly to the security guards with strange eyes, swiped her card out of the door, and her quiet figure gradually disappeared into the night.
At this time, the security guard in the security room seemed to have someone who had opened up his heart's hostility with that smile, and then came out with a strange feeling, thinking that he couldn't wear it, and muttered to others: "Eh, I think that kid is probably a girl disguised as a boy, originally a girl."
Someone scratched their head, took a sip of tea and muttered: "I think she looks pretty good when she smiles..." As he spoke, he looked up with a mixture of shyness and embarrassment, carefully observing the reactions of those around him, as if preparing himself for ridicule.
Surprisingly, no one made those exaggerated reactions this time, but instead they all looked puzzled and thoughtful.
"With a small nose and mouth, and big eyes, he really doesn't look like a boy... Hmm, haha..." Someone thought of Ye Cai's face and muttered to himself, only to feel embarrassed by his own speculation and assumptions.
Exchanging confirming gazes, they all smiled awkwardly, then lowered their heads in silence, slightly pursing their lips, and started sipping tea. The gentle gurgling sound created a serene and peaceful atmosphere, and before they knew it, they had slipped out of the quiet warmth of the security room.
"Should... be a good mushroom, huh."
