Lin Yujing arrived at school more than half an hour earlier than usual. It was enough time for her to go back to her dormitory to change into her school uniform and unload the bag of seriously deadly [1] bag of oranges that Fu Mingxiu had given her.
Lin Yujing felt a little groggy, probably because the air conditioner had been running while she slept the night before. She lay down on the bed in her dormitory for a while, then walked from the dormitory to the classroom. On the way, she saw Shen Juan by the entrance to the school building.
Stepping on October’s tail, November had arrived, and the morning was cool. Shen Juan wore a black baseball jacket over his school uniform and carried his schoolbag.
When he looked up and saw her, he stood still and waited for her to come over, yawning with his hand in his pocket.
Lin Yujing thought Shen Juan was quite magical. From the first time she saw him in the classroom, as long as he was in school he would always yawn when she saw him in the morning.
She took a few quick steps and walked over. The two of them walked into the school building together. Lin Yujing turned her head. “You got here quite early today. If I’d known I would have waited for you.”
Shen Juan looked a little confused, and his nasal voice was vague. “Huh?”
Lin Yujing sniffled, “I went to the shop over by your house this morning to buy rice balls for breakfast. I thought you wouldn’t be out so early, so I didn’t call you.”

Lin Yujing nodded. “Then let’s make a deal, you eat the dumplings and I’ll eat the egg yolk inside.” Lin Yujing sighed dispondantly and lamented, “When can three salted egg yolks be wrapped in egg yolk meat dumplings?”
Shen Juan tilted his head. “Do you want to eat?”
Lin Yujing responded. “Eh?”
Shen Juan said, “Three salted egg yolks wrapped in egg yolk meat dumplings.”
Ah,” Lin Yujing thought for a while, “It’s okay without meat, can it be all salted egg yolks?”
“Yes,” Shen Juan chuckled, “You can have whatever you want.”
They climbed up to the fourth floor and walked to Class 10. As soon as they turned the corner, they saw Li Lin in the corridor. He had likely just finished homework for the weekend. He was leaning through the window into the classroom to talk, his butt sticking out into the hallway.
Seeing them coming, Li Lin waved. “Why didn’t you come on the last day of the sports meet?”
“My legs weren’t healed,” Lin Yujing said casually as she entered the classroom, put down her school bag, and sat down.
Li Lin nodded and said “oh.” He didn’t dare to ask Shen Juan, just tapped the corner of the table. “Hey, you guys weren’t here, you missed a lot.”
Lin Yujing was very cooperative. “What’s wrong?”
Li Lin immediately picked up his chrysanthemum tea. Since it was cold outside, his thermos cup had also been upgraded. By the look of it, it was much stronger than the previous one and the insulation seemed top-notch.
He took a sip slowly, and like a storyteller, spoke deliberately, “Let’s talk about that day—Friday, the last day of the sports meet. It was sunny with a few clouds, the northwest wind was grade three or four, and the air quality was 75…”
Shen Juan yawned again, leaned against the wall, and started playing on his phone.
Lin Yujing rolled her eyes and turned her head away, ignoring him.
Li Lin quickly grabbed her chair. “Hey hey hey, I’m saying… I’m saying… I’m saying that Class 7 and our class declared war!”
Lin Yujing turned around again.
“Wasn’t there a 4X100 relay after the sports meeting? Since it was a relay race, the groups were put together by drawing, and Class 7 was on the track next to our class. Their class was originally first place, but then they dropped their baton, so our class got first place instead.”
Li Lin paused for a moment, then continued, “Then their class sports committee said that when they were transferring the baton, it was someone from our class who hit it, so they dropped it. All the teachers came over, and it was useless. You know the eight people in the relay, they almost got into a fight.”
Lin Yujing looked up. “We lost?”
Li Lin was helpless. “…Classmate Lin, why are you so violent?”
“Oh.” Lin Yujing rubbed her nose. “Then how was it solved in the end?”
Li Lin said, “The sports committee of Class 7 said that after this month’s exam, we will compete in a basketball game. If we lose, then we give them first place for the relay race during the sports meet.”
“…”
Lin Yujing said in her heart that this was really adolescent.
These stakes are real! Too! Mature! Ah!
She raised her hand, patted Li Lin on the shoulder, and said comfortingly, “It’s okay. Although our class doesn’t do well academically, there are quite a lot of boys who are good at basketball! We will win.”
Lin Yujing praised him sincerely, “You guys must have done a good job with this kind of entertainment, otherwise you wouldn’t have such bad grades.”
Li Lin: “…”

Lin Yujing sniffled, “I went to the shop over by your house this morning to buy rice balls for breakfast. I thought you wouldn’t be out so early, so I didn’t call you.”
“Ah, her fried rice balls are delicious, and I like tiger skin eggs,” Shen Juan seemed to be still sleepy, his voice dragging lazily. “Remember to call me next time.”
Lin Yujing heard what he said and gave him a look. “You actually like tiger skin eggs.”
Shen Juan lowered his eyes. “Mm, what’s wrong.”
“Don’t you add salted egg yolk?” Lin Yujing asked.
Her school bag was empty and they weren’t far from the dormitory, so she held it in her hand instead of carrying it on her back. When she went up the stairs, the bottom of the schoolbag dragged on the ground.
“I don’t.” Shen Juan leaned over and reached down to hook the dragging school bag, lifting it up and carrying it in one hand. “It’s mopping the floor.”
Lin Yujing was still fascinated that there were people in this world who didn’t eat salted egg yolks. “Then, when you eat dumplings, do you add salted egg yolks? I’ve eaten egg yolk meat dumplings here, so delicious. I just want to eat the salted egg yolk inside.”
Shen Juan said, “I can eat meat dumplings, but I don’t eat egg yolk meat dumplings.”
Lin Yujing nodded. “Then let’s make a deal, you eat the dumplings and I’ll eat the egg yolk inside.” Lin Yujing sighed dispondantly and lamented, “When can three salted egg yolks be wrapped in egg yolk meat dumplings?”
