The nervous and delicate leaves of the tea plant

  6:10

  Ye Cai got on the bus, holding onto the handrail as the vehicle swayed back and forth.

  With a calm and pleasant expression, gazing at the scenery outside the window retreating into the distance, I am inexplicably filled with confidence and longing for today and the future.

  Looking back on it now, I find it unbelievable myself.

  It's probably because of the good air in the morning, washing away the dust and affecting people's mood.

  Before long, I got off at the station and bought some breakfast on the roadside to fill my stomach.

  Swiped the card and passed through the school gate, stepped onto the central avenue, with a brisk pace, gradually able to hear the rhythmic melody coming from the southeast direction, where athletes were performing a strong-beat tune.

  The central avenue, surrounded by two rows of flower beds, was very spacious. Ye Cai looked all the way to the end and only found five or six lonely figures with their backs to her. The autumn breeze carried dry leaves whistling by, and the night color had not completely retreated, the sky was gloomy and gray.

  This kind of scene really affects one's mood, Ye Caiyu's mouth was pouted, and her thoughts were floating around, only in this way can she avoid being immersed in this gloomy picture.

  Rushing to the teaching building, Si Kong saw that more than a dozen classmates were gathered at the door of his classroom, and he walked up to the front of the door through the narrow path they had respectfully made for him. Then, from his bag, he took out the "gatekeeper" key specially given by their class teacher, Teacher Bi, and easily unlocked the door. Amidst a burst of cheers behind him, he entered the classroom.

  She walked to her own seat, stuffed her bag into the desk drawer, stood still on the spot, pretending to be deep in thought with her head down, until that familiar figure passed by behind her.

  Plucking up his courage, Ye Cai rushed towards him with a smile and greeted, "Good morning."

  "Ah, you're up early too."

  Liu Jiajia lifted the corner of her mouth and responded politely before lowering her head to tidy up the table.

  Ye Cai gazed at her intently and found that she had changed to a middle-parted bob hairstyle today, not only revealing her fair and smooth forehead, but also highlighting the beauty of her facial features and the softness of her melon-seed-shaped face.

  Take a closer look, her eyebrows are quite well-groomed, standard Korean-style straight eyebrows, paired with her lively and mischievous personality, adding to her spirit.

  Under her fair neck, a neat and elegant collar and tie, a Western-style suit, adds a lively and mischievous spirit.

  "Huh?"

  Liu Jiajia raised her eyebrows, and in those bright and sparkling autumn water-like eyes, a few hints of puzzlement flowed out. Her fine and dense eyelashes trembled slightly, her pale lips pursed, and her eyebrows furrowed lightly.

  "What are you looking at?"

  In Ye Cai Yan's eyes, her every smile and frown were so captivating...

  "What on earth are you looking at?"

  Giggling, she pushed the dazed Ye Cai, and Liu Jiajia thought that the usually cold and indifferent "him" was especially fun today.

  Suddenly coming back to her senses, Ye Cai's face turned red with embarrassment as she quickly lowered her head and muttered: "Nothing, it's just that you look... strange today."

  "Is something wrong?"

  Liu Jiajia rubbed her own face, unable to figure out what was going on.

  "Haha, no, no, it's not that, I mean...I feel like you look different now, not like before..." Ye Caiyu explained incoherently.

  "What's with all the muttering? What are you saying?"

  Liu Jiajia shook her head vaguely and turned away, but as she glanced back, she inadvertently left a white eye.

  Ye Cai's world lost its color from then on.

  He hung his head and stood there, as if the world was collapsing, everything came to a standstill.

  "Hurry up."

  Liu Jiajia saw that she was a bit stunned in place, afraid that she would be late, so kindly reminded her.

  Suddenly snapped out of his self-pitying state, he casually responded with a "yes", turned around and hastily ran out of the classroom.

  The corridor outside the classroom.

  Liu Jiajia, who was not far ahead, jogged a few steps in a perfunctory manner, her little head poking out of the railing to explore the direction of the playground and the path along the way. She seemed to have come to the conclusion that there was no need to be so anxious, so she slowed down her pace, turned around with a swing of her waist, and looked back.

  Pursed lips, corners of mouth slightly hooked up, smile like a sneer, more like a scold, with a hint of resentment.

  It took Ye Cai half a day to understand her meaning, and she hurriedly quickened her pace with a joyful smile to greet her.

  Liu Jiajia shrugged and threw a white eye at him with a smile, "What were you spacing out about just now?"

  Ye Cai smiled awkwardly and lowered her eyes, without responding.

  Two sisters walk together side by side.

  All the way, Liu Jiajia always pressed her lips to suppress her smile, and would occasionally glance at Ye Cai, then press her lips even deeper, and the smile in her curved eyes became even thicker.

  Ye Cai felt confused and couldn't understand her at all, he just thought she was being mysterious for no reason.

  "Hey, give me a smile."

  What?

  Dazed, Ye Cai thought she had misheard and turned her head, only to meet Liu Jiajia's gaze head-on.

  Jian Ye picked up a full face of confusion, Liu Jiajia was taken aback, then raised her chin and said, "Smile."

  Staring at his cunning eyes, Ye Cai suddenly felt very suspicious, and then pursed her lips, revealing a vigilant expression.

  "Huh?"

  Liu Jiajia gave a disdainful glance at Ye Cai, who was not cooperating, and then walked her own way, never looking back at her again.

  Ye Cai hastily chased after a few steps, quietly gazing at Liu Jiajia's profile, pursing her lips to reveal a hint of a timid smile.

  Liu Jiajia cast a sideways glance, her mouth curving up in a seemingly amused yet silent smile.

  Sneaked a glance at each other, and happily curled up the corners of their mouths.

  Love always comes so suddenly - Ye Cai's expected opening line.

  Thinking the atmosphere was great and the opportunity was rare, Ye Cai took a deep breath, then took three big steps forward, turned around, and stood straight up to block Liu Jiajia's path.

  With a mischievous glint in her eye, Liu Jiajia smiled and said, "What's up?"

  Ye Cai took a deep breath, closed her eyes tightly, blushed, and let out two soft "ah"s.

  "Huh?!"

  In a flash, Liu Jiajia quickly lowered her head and pushed Ye Cai away, dodging to the side several steps.

  She backed away, stumbled a few steps, and barely stood steady. Seeing her opponent react this way, Ye Cai suddenly felt disheartened, pursed her lips to hold back tears, and left with a sorrowful gaze, her eyes filled with resentment and sadness.

  "Uh, aren't you going to sneeze?"

  Staring at the slender and lonely figure in front of her, Liu Jiajia was confused. Looking at Ye Cai's dejected and disheartened appearance, it seemed as if she herself had done something wrong.

  She thought Ye Cai was a bit inexplicable, helplessly shook her head, and planned to settle accounts with "him" later.

  ……

  ……

  School playground, morning run in class form.

  Ye Cai is 1.6 meters tall, which is considered relatively short among boys. However, since there was no one shorter than her in Class 2, she was once assigned by the teacher as one of the two leaders of the boys' team.

  First row, first column.

  She looks right, she looks forward, she doesn't need to use her brain, and the teacher won't say anything to her unless she deliberately tilts her head.

  On her left hand side, the other leader of the boys' team was a slightly shy male classmate, who was shorter than her, exactly 1.6 meters tall. However, this male classmate's shyness was mostly just his attitude towards strangers, and maybe also partly because he had been bullied by his deskmate Luo Li for too long that it had become an acquired trait.

  But no matter how small the recipient is, once they get familiar with him, this guy will be very mischievous, and fighting and quarreling with each other are all common occurrences. People who have a childlike personality are generally like that.

  Of course, Ye Cai didn't get along with him.

  Otherwise, something will definitely go wrong.

  It's only because there was an even more mischievous boy behind him that he happened to understand the other person's true character. Speaking of this even more mischievous boy, these two young men seemed to be very compatible, and whenever they learned some delightful news, they would immediately exchange a knowing glance with each other, and usually spend their time together discussing game theory, having already established a "bromance" relationship not long after meeting.

  However, in Ye Cai's slightly corrupt eyes, the two of them were indeed a good pair of bros. With their views buried deep within their hearts, they didn't even have the chance to clear their names.

  The team of Class 2(2) was moving slowly in a circle on the playground, surrounded by an atmosphere of depression and silence. The classmates were jogging listlessly with young and lively faces but looked dull and lifeless.

  But the introverted man's spiritual appearance was very good, he slightly turned his face and had a serious whisper with the good friend behind him, speaking fluently and loudly, discussing ability is excellent.

  And just beside them, Ye Cai silently rolled her eyes and was speechless in her heart, because she couldn't help but hear a few key words.

  "Seal", "Thousand Attack", "Ten Thousand Blood", "Carry the Whole Field"…

  It's really ruined a generation of people with this online game.

  Looking around, Ye Cai dared to bet that among the more than 40 classes on this playground, from first year to third year high school students and teachers, nearly 4,000 students and over a hundred teachers, there are approximately 2,000 people who have come into contact with this game. As a result, roughly one-third of them will become loyal players, which is about 700 people.

  Forty thousand and seven hundred, four billion and seventy million.

  It is indeed a terrible ratio.

  At the school-wide assembly after the morning run, a certain chubby school leader once again solemnly judged some issues on the podium with a serious face. Coincidentally, seeing that leader's serious look, Ye Cai, who was worried about the country's prospects, suddenly had an idea in her mind and realized a somewhat embarrassing problem.

  Whether games create a generation or ruin one, it seems like neither has anything to do with me, this academic failure.
