The Protagonist Just Wants to Fall in Love [MTL]

Chapter 89 Taking Advantage

As October approaches, the school will hold a 70th anniversary celebration, as well as a sports meet. The head teacher announced this to the class a week in advance.

　　"If you want to sign up, go to the sports committee after class to sign up." The homeroom teacher said, "There are prizes for winning places, so everyone should be more active and submit the names to me by Friday."

　　As soon as she finished speaking, the bell rang. She collected the things on the desk and said "get out of class dismissed". The atmosphere in the class immediately relaxed.

　　He Yu's deskmate in elementary school has always been Li Fengran, and there has not been much change. But after entering junior high school, his deskmate became a small round-faced girl with a mushroom head. She blushed easily and was shy. She didn't communicate much with He Yu and went to find her friends after class.

　　Li Fengran took his desk mate's seat as usual.

　　"He Yu, do you want to participate in the sports meet?"

　　"No."

　　"There is a prize, it seems the first place winner gets a hundred." Li Fengran said.

　　He Yu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "Do you want to go?"

　　"Yeah, I do." Li Fengran said. He Yu's birthday is coming soon and he wants to save some money to buy him a gift.

　　Li Fengran lay on the table, tilted his head to look at He Yu, and said, "What project do you think I should apply for?"

　　"High jump, long jump."

　　"What about running?"

　　"Forget about running." He Yu didn't want to discourage him.

　　Li Fengran, who was already shocked by his "hopeless" tone, said: "..."

　　"Wang Ciyang invites us to his house to watch a movie on Friday. Do you want to go?" Li Fengran changed the subject.

Wang Ci Yang was a boy in their dormitory, who lived on the street. The video rental store they used to go to was owned by him. They had met before, but didn't say much at that time. After entering junior high school, they met again, and their relationship gradually deepened. They had been invited to his house to watch movies a few times before, all of which were the latest popular tapes and quite interesting.

　　He Yu: "What movie do you want to watch?"

　　Li Fengran: "It should be a horror movie."

　　He Yu: "Whatever."

　　Most of the time, He Yu didn't have anything in particular that he wanted to do, but if Li Fengran wanted to go, he could accompany him.

　　He thought this time would be the same as before, just watching some movies.

　　It started raining at noon on Friday. The sky was gloomy and the rain was intermittent. In the evening, the long streets were wet with rain and the bumpy ground was filled with water. In the humid weather, the air became moist.

　　The lights were on in the video rental store at the entrance of the alley, music was playing inside the store, and the owner was sitting at the cash register near the door packing things. The wind chimes at the door rang, and the door opened from the outside.

　　"Dad, I'm back!"

　　"Hello, uncle."

　　"Good afternoon, uncle."

　　"Hello, uncle."

　　...

　　Seven or eight people came in one after another, lined up with their schoolbags on their backs, and shouted "Hello, uncle".
