Chapter 4 – Coat

It was unusually sunny, and the temperature soared dramatically. People in the classroom couldn’t remain long, especially if they were seated near the window; even if there was a curtain, the sun would still shine on them.

Chi Tang went out to get some cold water after class. Sh e finished half of the bottle after a bit. Sh e didn’t have the energy to split her thoughts into the math problems under her pen, so she played with her pen while daydreaming.

A layer of frost developed on the drink bottle, which condensed into little drops of water, which then accumulated into a huge drop of water, which soon wetted the tabletop corner.

Chi Tang didn’t mind because she didn’t want to move too much.

The mathematics teacher assigned them problems to do on their own, but these questions were challenging. Many students scratched their heads and were unable to do them, so they gathered and askeed each other in hushed tones.

Chi Tang shifted her gaze to the side. Her tablemate was nearing the end of her topic writing. She scribbled in a very rhythmic manner, and she virtually didn’t halt when she began math problems, indicating that the school tyrant was not in any danger. So she can keep writing at a steady pace.

Chi Tang couldn’t figure out why listening to her steady writing sound made her tired.

You Yu was seated on the window sill, blocking virtually all of the sunshine, but she couldn’t see the annoyance created by the sultry on her face since she was still wearing a bulky school uniform jacket, with her head down and doing questions, without running away or looking around.

Chi Tang had the impression that this person couldn’t see anyone when she was studying.

Someone in the back called You Yu and asked, “Are you ready, Board? Allow me to copy it.”

“You should write it yourself,” You Yu remarked, looking up.

As a student, refusing to allow others to duplicate their homework was considered heresy and would result in disgrace. After being refused, the girl protested to others around her: “What is she seeking for, and would she do it? What’s the big deal? She also stated that she did not allow her to copy it. Guo Yiqun did not copy her homework the last time ?”

“Is she fond of Guo Yiqun? She appears to be conversing with Guo Yiqun more.”
When Chi Tang overheard the chat, she sensed that they were restless, and they couldn’t help but think about the emotional entanglement.

Apart from Yu Yu, Guo Yiqun was the class’s top mathematician. Chi Tang had never seen those two people copy the answers, but she had seen them work together to get the correct responses after answering some extra problems after class. It was a set of extracurricular exercises purchased by Guo Yiqun himself.

You Yu stole it and copied the questions. Guo Yiqun took advantage of the chance to compare it to an exam paper. In the end, he committed two errors, and Yu Yu was OK.

Chi Tang saw the confrontation between the school tyrants with her own eyes, and Guo Yiqun, who was upset at the loss, seized the notebook and returned to his seat.

Later, he did not borrow Youyu’s practice equipment.

Chi Tang: You’re stingy, dumb, if you can’t afford to lose.

Chi Tang smiled as she glanced at the last question, realizing that there were still 10 minutes until class ended. She’d done it before, rather haphazardly, but for the last question, she couldn’t find her way at all.

Chi Tang didn’t care whether or not she did this topic, so she drew circles on the paper.

A notepad was suddenly handed over.

Chi Tang came to a halt and peered down. The notebook had three steps, each with a formula next to it.

She looked at it for a moment and realized she was at the same table, which offered her a hint to the previous dilemma.

There were just hints, no answers.

When You Yu noticed her looking away from the book, she took it back, opened a red cover arithmetic book, laid it on the table, and began working on it. Her math teacher had loaned it to her as she couldn’t get it from Guo Yiqun. She asked her math teacher to borrow an after-school practice kit she had borrowed there.

Chi Tang didn’t want to do the last question at first, but the first three steps lingered in her head, causing her to think involuntarily, and then she did the question.

Unfortunately, she made a mistake.

Chi Tang swore in her heart as she held the assignment and saw the red cross, hurriedly covering it and tossing it aside. Even though she knew the “hot” person at the next table would never come to inspect her schoolwork, she felt a bit embarrassed.

Who knew that, another notebook would be passed over without saying anything. You Yu outlined the full problem-solving method from beginning to end in clear detail this time.

On the surface, Chi Tang didn’t seem to react much and had a little frown. Her deskmate appeared to be sending a nice message to her, but she hesitated. She was uninterested in making new friends.

But when she turned to face You Yu, she saw that she was once again lost in the sea of the subject, completely ignoring her. It would be a little nice at this point if she took the effort to tell her anything she didn’t want to be a friend.

What was even more irritating was that Chi Tang had thought about it and realized that she had taken care of the rest of her business first, making it appear as though she wanted to be friends with someone first.

Chi Tang, a rebellious adolescent, swore in her heart that she’d never be nosy.

A bunch of girls bickered and played on the second day of physical education class. Someone kicked the ball  and it smashed the water bottle first. It was an assam tea bottle . When You Yu noticed, it  was too late and her school uniform was instantly coated with the color of tea.

Chi Tang was not present at the time. She overheard two girls in the class giggling and remarking that You Yu was unfortunate. She didn’t care after hearing it. Who knew that when she turned around to go to the restroom, she would see You Yu seated there? She seemed to be wandering there, with an unusual worn expression.

Chi Tang noticed her school uniform almost immediately.

Chi Tang noticed her school uniform was missing almost immediately, save for a thin old t-shirt with a round collar. Because she wore a school uniform every day, not wearing a school uniform seemed strange.

You Yu noticed her as well, but she remained silent, dropped her gaze, and bowed her back slightly, as if instinctively attempting to conceal her presence.

Chi Tang saw that the traces in front of You Yu were a little too evident. She didn’t look like she was wearing a bra.

She now understood why You Yu wore her school uniform and coat every day, no matter how hot it was; was she afraid of being seen by others? Chi Tang was shocked. So she didn’t even have enough money to purchase a bra.

Her parents clashed and quarreled from childhood through adolescence. Chi Tang, who has seldom felt the tenderness of her parents, was not wanting in material aspects after witnessing the two cheating on one other. So, even after seeing it with her own eyes, she still can’t envision living like You Yu.

Chi Tang stood for a bit before asking, “What about your school uniform jacket?”

“I was sprayed with tea, I came to the toilet to clean myself but my school uniform disappeared when I went to the toilet,” You Yu said bending over and glancing at her shoes.

Chi Tang turned and walked away, and after a time, she returned with a school uniform, saying, “Wear this.”

Her clothing were laundered at a public laundromat. The detergent used, as well as the lavender smell, were not the same as the school uniforms that You Yu hand-washed with soap.

With a breath, You Yu grabbed the coat and quietly put it on.
