Anniversary Celebration

"School nurse~"

"My body feels a little unwell."

"I think I might have a fever."

In the school infirmary, Ye Shuang sat at his desk, watching the girl beside him acting coquettishly, feeling a slight headache coming on.

According to the information displayed in his vision, there was clearly nothing wrong with her—

[Character: Yu Xinyi

Grade 6, Foreign Language Class 1 at Yinshan Academy. Romance-obsessed, craving a milkshake.]

"Let’s check your temperature." Ye Shuang took out a mercury thermometer, but the girl suddenly blushed and tugged at her shoulder strap. "I don’t know where to put this… School nurse, could you do it for me?"

Ye Shuang: "..."

Seems like she really does have a fever.

And not just any fever—a particularly heated one.

"There’s a female teacher coming in a few minutes. You can wait for her," Ye Shuang said. The girl immediately perked up. "Oh! I have club activities right now. I’ll come back later~"

With that, she hurried off.

Ye Shuang put the thermometer away and went back to reading. Students like this weren’t uncommon—so much so that the infirmary practically reeked of teenage hormones. He could understand it, but…

Lately, more and more girls had been visiting the infirmary, most of them perfectly healthy.

"Time to go." He checked the clock, shelved the medical book, hung up his white coat, and locked the door of Infirmary No. 3 before stepping into the hallway.

"Over here!"

"Pass the ball!"

The shouts from below caught his attention. He glanced down toward the playground, where students were playing basketball.

Come to think of it, Yu You didn’t seem to have any particular hobbies.

"Hmm… I should encourage her to develop some interests. Art, or something else…" Ye Shuang leaned against the railing, watching the students below.

"Maybe I should sign her up for a class?"

"Would she resent it? Think I’m being too controlling?"

After a moment of deliberation, he shook his head. It was almost time for Yu You and the others to finish school, and he had something to take care of.

"The school festival is coming up. Why hasn’t our class voted on what to do yet?"

"Well, Teacher Chen broke her leg recently, and the class president is useless…"

"Why not ask Little Yu? She’s the vice president, and she’s really smart."

"You can find Little Yu anywhere except the classroom."

"Oh… right."

Two girls walked past, chatting. When they noticed Ye Shuang, they greeted him politely. "Hello, teacher."

"You’re from Class B?" Ye Shuang asked.

"Yeah, you even subbed for our self-study class once," one of them replied.

Ye Shuang nodded, and the two students continued on their way.

"The school festival…" Lost in thought, he soon arrived at Class A’s room, where he spotted Yu You and the others packing up.

The moment Yu You noticed him outside the classroom, she abandoned her bag and dashed over, her long hair fluttering behind her. "Hug…"

"Not now, there are too many people." Ye Shuang gently pinched her cheek before turning to Tang Keke, who had followed. "Keke."

"Big bro, here to pick up Yu You?" Tang Keke handed over Yu You’s bag.

"Not just that. If you’re free tonight, join us for dinner. I’m not cooking today."

Tang Keke happily agreed. "Sure!"

Ye Shuang left his car at school, and the three of them walked out together. With Yu You clinging to his arm like a koala, he glanced at Tang Keke.

"Keke, I overheard some students talking about the school festival earlier."

Tang Keke nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! In two weeks, it’s Yinshan Academy’s 70th anniversary celebration. There’ll be a week of campus events, and they’ll set off fireworks—one for each year!"

"What kind of events usually happen?"

"Hmm… Students and outsiders can set up stalls, and every class has to prepare a themed activity. Last year, our class did a haunted house, and it was pretty popular."

"Besides classes, clubs can also put on performances. Last year, the light music club, street dance club, and even the basketball club’s solo dance were huge hits!"

Tang Keke explained in detail while Ye Shuang listened, nodding occasionally as he considered renting a stall.

Not for profit, but to give Yu You more experiences.

Thinking this, he turned to the girl beside him. "Yu You, did you enjoy last year’s festival?"

Yu You thought for a moment. "A little cold… got hit…"

Ye Shuang: "?"

"Yu You played a ghost last year. Some scared students threw props at her… and kicked her," Tang Keke added, looking uncomfortable.

"Why would you let them kick you?" Ye Shuang stroked Yu You’s head gently.

Yu You lifted her face slightly, expression calm. "Classmates… did it too."

"Used to it…"

Ye Shuang: "..."

Sounded like a terrible memory.

"That won’t happen again," he said softly. "You have me to rely on now, understand?"

Yu You nodded, tightening her grip on his arm.

Just then, his phone rang. The caller ID showed "Fugui."

"Hey, Fugui. Back in the country?"

"Troublemaker~ Little Shuang, those guys’ issues are handled," a playful voice giggled through the phone. "One almost drowned in the sewage race—want to see the video?"

"No need. Thanks."

"No biggie~ I like that kid too. Can’t let her get bullied~ Anyway, gotta go. Bye-bye!"

"Alright."

"Hmph~"

After hanging up, Ye Shuang pocketed his phone and noticed Yu You’s curious gaze.

"Fugui called."

Yu You recalled the gentle, eccentric figure from her memories. "Aunt Li."

"You can call her that. Let’s have dinner together sometime."

"Okay."

Ye Shuang glanced at Yu You before looking ahead. There was one more thing he wanted to ask her today.

About moving.
