Due to Shen Yujing's phone harassment interrupting Quan Le's sweet dream, he came to class the next morning with two panda eyes.
He stole two eggs from his deskmate's breakfast to put on his eyes, so during the long break, he went to the cafeteria to buy new breakfast for his deskmate.
In the cafeteria, Quan Le saw Song Yi.
So Quan Le snuck up behind Song Yi and suddenly reached out to swipe his meal card for her right after she finished ordering.
Song Yi turned around puzzled and asked, "Quan Le? Why are you here?"
"Buying breakfast." Quan Le waved the two sandwiches in his hand, then flashed his meal card like a rich CEO and asked, "Anything else you want to eat? My treat, swipe as much as you want."
Looking at the 100,000 balance on Quan Le's meal card, Song Yi could only comfort herself with the fact that she had seen million-dollar balances before.
However, judging by Quan Le's behavior, such unexpected enthusiasm usually meant ulterior motives.
"This is enough." Song Yi took her jianbing and soy milk from the cafeteria aunt and walked towards the seats, asking, "Tell me, what's up?"
Quan Le sat across from Song Yi but denied, "Nothing, it's just that Murong Huan asked me to take care of you, that's all."
Song Yi took a bite of her jianbing, "Next time when you deny something, could you not nod while doing it?"
Caught by Song Yi, Quan Le awkwardly asked, "Then can you guess?"
Song Yi stared at Quan Le's face for two seconds, "Did someone beat you up? Why do you have such a big bruise around your eyes?"
Quan Le: "...This is because Shen Yujing called me at 3 AM, which made me unable to sleep well for the rest of the night. But that's not important, it's actually related to fighting though."
Song Yi: "Go on."
Quan Le scratched the back of his head, looking troubled, "You know our school is having its anniversary celebration next month, right? The guys from Saint Yu Boys' School have been acting up these days, apparently wanting to borrow our school uniforms to sneak in then. My relationship with them and Shen Yujing isn't great, and they came to me to borrow uniforms? Of course I refused! But..."
Song Yi interrupted him, "Get to the point."
Quan Le: "In short, they asked to borrow my uniform and I refused, so they threatened to beat me up."
Song Yi: "?"
Are conflicts between high school boys always this random?
Remembering that Shen Yujing and Xu Che from Saint Yu didn't get along, Song Yi said, "Then you should go find Shen Yujing."
At the mention of Shen Yujing, Quan Le's face immediately fell, "He's acting like he's possessed. I went to Class B to find him but he ignored me, just sat there drawing turtles non-stop."
Song Yi thought this scene sounded quite ghostly too, but still asked, "So why are you looking for me? Want me to be your bodyguard?"
"No." Quan Le shook his head and reached out a hand to Song Yi, saying sincerely, "Saint Yu's anniversary is tomorrow! Shen Yujing hates Xu Che so he won't go to Saint Yu, so I want to invite you to go together! Since Saint Yu's students want to sneak into our school, let's beat them to it and sneak into theirs first!"
Song Yi: "..."
She felt like everything Quan Le said before was just filler, and this was his true purpose.
But Song Yi still said, "Wake up, Saint Yu is a boys' school."
Quan Le paused, "So?"
Song Yi expressionlessly said, "Why don't you invite Murong Huan along?"
Quan Le looked at Song Yi with disdain, "How did you even become tenth in our grade with that brain? Murong Huan is a girl, wouldn't she be spotted immediately if she tried to sneak in?"
Song Yi crushed the empty soy milk cup in her hand and smiled at Quan Le without the smile reaching her eyes, "Then what am I in your eyes?"
Quan Le froze, then smacked his forehead, "Damn, I forgot."
Song Yi: "..."
How could someone forget something like this? Ridiculous.
Suddenly, a hand landed on Song Yi's shoulder, asking, "What are you guys talking about?"
Speak of the devil - it was Murong Huan.
Murong Huan sat down beside Song Yi, then looked at Quan Le, seemingly startled, "What happened? Who beat you up?"
Quan Le: "..."
So Song Yi explained what had just happened, of course omitting the part where Quan Le forgot she was a girl.
"Tomorrow's Saturday, we only have make-up classes in the morning." Murong Huan's eyes were full of excitement, "Then I want to join you guys too! Let's go to Saint Yu together at noon!"
Quan Le disapproved, "But you're a girl, you can't get in."
"You're so stupid." Murong Huan rolled her eyes at Quan Le, "Won't it work if I wear a wig and a cap?"
Quan Le: "Oh right! You're so smart! Okay! Then it's settled! I'll get three Saint Yu uniforms tonight! The three of us will sneak in together tomorrow!"
"Great! See you then!"
Song Yi: "?"
No, wait.
Who exactly agreed to this?
Although Song Yi thought this, she was still forced to join these two.
That evening, Murong Huan's car drove Song Yi home.
When getting out of the car, Murong Huan carefully handed Song Yi a bag, saying, "Look at it when you get home, alone."
So when Song Yi opened the bag and saw the chest binder inside, her hands holding the bag couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She didn't know what to say, except to praise Murong Huan for being so thoughtful.

The next morning.
When the bell rang, Song Yi, Murong Huan, and Quan Le met at Class A's back door.
Quan Le patted his backpack, "Got three sets of uniforms ready."
Murong Huan waved the bag in her hand, "Got the wigs ready!"
Murong Huan then looked at Song Yi's chest, nodded with satisfaction, "Alright! Let's go!"
The three walked down the corridor side by side.
At that moment, a head poked out from Class B's doorway.
Looking at the three's backs, Shen Yujing frowned.
How strange, why did Quan Le refuse to have lunch with him?
He said he had something to do at home, but then went to find Song Yi and Murong Huan? What secret was this guy keeping from him?!
After thinking for two seconds, Shen Yujing grabbed his bag and followed them.
He wanted to see what secret these three were keeping from him!
*
At Saint Yu High School's entrance.
Three people wearing Saint Yu school uniforms stood there, peering around.
Song Yi looked down at the blue and white uniform she was wearing. After getting used to Saint Slee's suit uniforms, these ordinary uniforms looked quite ugly.
But Murong Huan didn't notice at all. She put her hand on Song Yi's shoulder and raised her other hand to the sky, excitedly saying, "Let's go! Charge!"
Song Yi looked at Murong Huan, "Your hair is showing, normal high school students can't possibly have pink hair."
"What?" Murong Huan immediately reached up to fix her wig, but because her hair was too long and too much, it would give her away no matter what, so she finally lost patience and just put on a cap.
She raised her hand to the sky again, "Let's go! Charge!"
The three walked through Saint Yu's gates with light steps.
Meanwhile, under a big tree not far away.
Shen Yujing's head poked out from behind once again.
Looking at the scene before him, Shen Yujing only had four words in his mind—
He didn't understand.
Which one of Quan Le, Song Yi, and Murong Huan was mentally ill? How did they end up sneaking into Saint Yu? This was completely absurd.
Suddenly someone patted Shen Yujing's shoulder, asking, "Hey, who are you? What are you looking at?"
Shen Yujing turned around to see another boy in blue and white Saint Yu uniform looking at him.
Seeing Shen Yujing not answering, the boy frowned and questioned, "Who are you? I'm the head of the Student Council's Disciplinary Committee. Don't you know to call me senior when you see me? Where are your manners? Remember my face, you need to call me senior whenever you see me! No one else's authority matters except mine, got it? Alright, first tell me your name."
Indeed, Disciplinary Committee heads were annoying no matter which school they were from.
So Shen Yujing cracked his knuckles, then grinned at the boy, "Hello, senior."
Five minutes later.
Shen Yujing, now wearing a blue and white uniform, also successfully entered Saint Yu High School.
Because of his poor relationship with Xu Che, their previous fights had only been at the back gate, so this was Shen Yujing's first time stepping inside Saint Yu High School.
The environment at Saint Yu Academy wasn't as impressive as Saint Slee's, but it made up for it with its simplicity and spaciousness. One glance at the map was enough to understand how to get around.
At this moment, Song Yi and the others had already disappeared from sight.
So Shen Yujing took out his phone and called Quan Le, asking directly, "Where are you?"
Quan Le answered without hesitation, "At home, of course."
Shen Yujing didn't call out the lie, but continued asking, "Specifically where?"
"Specifically... well... it's because my grandmother broke her leg! I'm about to go to the hospital to see her! Got to go pack my things! *click*—"
The call was disconnected.
Shen Yujing stared at his phone screen expressionlessly, then curved his lips into a slight smirk.
So Quan Le wouldn't tell him? Well, he had his ways.
Then Shen Yujing opened his WeChat and switched to his alternate account.
[Saint Yu High School xx Chat Group]
[Shen Erchui]: Alert! I saw Quan Le sneaking around our school! He even forced two of our students to guide him around! Said he wanted them to explain everything to him! His attitude is outrageous! This is absolutely insulting!
[Brother Wang]: How dare he? Who gave him permission to come to our school? Brothers! Search!
Sure enough, people in the group quickly started sharing information.
[Report! Not in the library!]
[Report! Not in the labs!]
[Report! Not in the teaching building!]
[Report! He's in the cafeteria! He's asking other students to borrow... no, he must be stealing meal cards!]
[Brother Wang]: Brothers! Let's go! Let's catch him for our Brother Che!
Meanwhile, Shen Yujing stuffed his phone in his pocket, grabbed someone to ask for directions, and headed toward the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria.
Quan Le, who was enjoying Saint Yu's signature hand-grabbed pancake, suddenly felt as if a hand had grabbed his fate by the throat.
He nearly choked, and when he turned around to see Shen Yujing, he was so startled that he actually did choke, quickly standing up, "Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Murong Huan and Song Yi were also surprised.
So Murong Huan asked, "Shen Yujing? Why are you here?"
Shen Yujing's gaze lingered on Song Yi's face for a few seconds before turning to Quan Le, saying with a very serious expression, "Brother, big trouble."
Quan Le was stunned, "Huh?"
Shen Yujing said with a straight face, "The Saint Yu people know you've snuck in! They're coming to beat you up!!!"
