The Protagonist Just Wants to Fall in Love [MTL]

Chapter 88 Junior High School Students

As the sun sets, the shadows of the three people are stretched out on the long street.

　　When He Yu and Li Fengran came out, they passed by the classroom and looked into the window. They didn't see Liao Yuanyuan and knew that he had left first. They were not too surprised to see Liao Yuanyuan here.

　　"I was scared to death." Liao Yuanyuan handed them the schoolbag and said that he saw He Yu and Li Fengran being chased by the two fifth-grade students from the window. He was afraid that they would find the classroom, so he took the schoolbag and came out first.

　　Liao Yuanyuan ate potato chips to calm herself down and asked them where the trash can was and why they were targeting her. He Yu gave a concise and to the point answer. Liao Yuanyuan was stunned after hearing it, but she also thought that He Yu was really awesome for daring to mess with them.

　　After returning to the tube-shaped building, they each went back to their homes.

　　At night, every household was filled with the smell of fireworks. On the long corridor of the tube-shaped building, clothes were hung out to dry. Women with bowls in their hands gathered downstairs to enjoy the cool air and chat about family matters.

　　Li Fengran's mother hasn't come back tonight, so he came to He Yu to do his homework. He stayed at He Yu's house for dinner, but he was quite worried and asked He Yu what he would do tomorrow.

　　He put the trash can directly on the two men. This matter would not just let it go like this. He Yu was dragged into this matter because of him. He felt guilty and uneasy.

　　"Xiao Yu, it's almost half past nine. Go take a shower and go to bed." He's mother pushed open the door and shouted.

　　He Yu sat at the edge of the desk, leaned sideways, and responded with "OK".

　　"Then... then I'll go back first." Li Fengran jumped off the stool. Normally he would go back before 8:30, but today he accidentally stayed late.

　　"Will your mother come back tonight?" He Yu asked.

　　Li Fengran: "I don't know..."

　　"If you're scared, sleep here," He Yu said.

　　"I..." Li Fengran hesitated.

　　He's mother heard what they said at the door and said, "That's right. It's not safe for you to be alone at home. Just sleep here."

　　She thought that the "fear" He Yu was talking about was the fear of being alone at home.

　　Li Fengran hesitated for a moment and nodded.

　　The weather was not cold at the beginning of autumn, and He Yu was still covering himself with the thin quilt he used in summer. The bed in his room was one and a half meters wide, enough for two children to sleep on.

　　They took a shower and lay down in bed. After a while, Li Fengran carefully leaned towards He Yu. He didn't know how to describe this feeling. Although he experienced similar things today, he felt completely different.

　　I feel very safe, as if I can finally touch the bottom.

　　He felt that if he went back upstairs and slept alone, he would not feel as at ease as he did now with someone by his side.

　　The two held hands, Li Fengran leaned half of his body on He Yu, and they fell asleep together.

　　This sleep was particularly deep.

　　The next day, He's mother saw it again. He Yu hadn't gotten up yet, so she came in to take a look. As soon as He's mother entered the room, she saw the two children sleeping close to each other, just like twins.
