Psst! We're moving!
Before, I hoped he would be good to me.
Now, I only hope that he will let me be good to him.
I just want to spoil him...
Am I going crazy TAT
—From the Diary of Fairy Su Zaizai
The curtains were tightly closed, and the room was dim.
Only the faint glow from the phone lit up the space.
Zhang Lurang patiently waited.
The phone vibrated once; he lowered his eyes and glanced at it.
Soon, he stood up and walked over to squat beside Susu.
Zhang Lurang petted its head and asked with a smile: “Do you want to go out for a walk?”

Before leaving, Zhang Lurang entered Lin Mao’s room.
Lin Mao was typing on his laptop. Noticing him enter, he didn’t look up.
Zhang Lurang stood there for a moment, then softly spoke.
“Uncle, I want to take the college entrance exam in City Z.”
Lin Mao stopped typing and turned to look at him.
A brief silence followed.
Lin Mao sighed and said: “There are too many requirements for taking the college entrance exam in City Z as an out-of-town student. Your household registration is in City B, and both your parents aren’t here.”
“...”
“I’ll think of something,” he said.
Zhang Lurang remained silent for a while, then nodded: “Okay.”
Just as he was about to turn and leave, Lin Mao spoke again.
“A Rang, don’t let it affect you too much.”
“...”
Lin Mao looked away solemnly and said: “You’ve already done very well.”
Zhang Lurang tugged at the corners of his lips and responded softly.
“What are you going to do?” Lin Mao suddenly asked.
Zhang Lurang paused, slowly saying: “Take Susu out for a walk.”
He thought he had gotten away with it.
The next second, Lin Mao continued asking.
“Who was that girl who taught you how to ride a bike last time?”
“...”
“Oh, I saw her when I came home from work.”
“...”
Lin Mao confidently concluded: “It seems like she’s your girlfriend.”
Zhang Lurang finally spoke, his expression somewhat unnatural.
“No.”
“Oh.”
After a while, Zhang Lurang added: “She’s only fifteen years old.”
A year has passed, so she’s probably sixteen by now.
But still too young.
So young that even touching her felt like committing a crime to him.

Su Zaizai was assigned into the Advanced Liberal Arts Class.
Her new desk mate was Wang Nan, who was previously in the same class as her.
Wang Nan walked in from outside, sat back down, and collapsed slightly as he spoke.
“Hey, Su Zaizai, I heard we’re having military training next week...”
Su Zaizai paused her pen and turned to look at him incredulously.
“I thought the military training was canceled? Why this semester...”
“I don’t know. It seems they’ve scheduled both the military training and agricultural study, starting next Monday morning.”
“...”
Su Zaizai immediately stood up and walked towards the door.
The Advanced Science Class was next to the Advanced Liberal Arts Class.
Zhang Lurang sat in the last row of the first group, near the back door.
Su Zaizai called out to him: “Rang Rang.”
Zhang Lurang turned his head and looked over.
Su Zaizai leaned against the doorframe and spoke to him: “I heard we’re having military training next week.”
Zhang Lurang didn’t react much, only nodding slightly.
“But it’s fine to have military training now. If it were in September, we’d get sunburned.”
“Mm.”
Su Zaizai thought for a moment and continued: “I heard it’s very sunny at the Agricultural Research Institute. I’ll bring you sunscreen this weekend, remember to apply it during the military training.”
Hearing this, Zhang Lurang frowned: “No need, don’t bring it.”
Su Zaizai remained silent for a moment, then said: “Do you feel that since other boys don’t use sunscreen, if you use it, you’ll seem too girly?”
“...” He didn’t answer, but it was clear she hit the mark.
“Rang Rang, that’s where you’re wrong.”
“What.”
“The other boys don’t use sunscreen because no one buys it for them.” Su Zaizai grinned.
“...”
“So, do you want it or not?”
Su Zaizai stared at him and saw him turn his head away.
Then, a muffled sound came.
“...Mm.”

On the first day at the Agricultural Research Institute, the military training began.
After the drill instructor finished his harsh speech, he began to collect the students’ phones.
He held a large sack and stood in front waiting.
Su Zaizai obediently took her phone out of her bag.
She walked up to the instructor and placed her phone inside.
After changing into their military training uniforms, the instructor led the Advanced Liberal Arts Class to one of the training grounds.
Upon arrival, Su Zaizai noticed that Zhang Lurang was training at the adjacent field with his class.
Because of this, she deliberately positioned herself in the second-to-last row.
Military training made everyone look their worst. When she had time, she needed to communicate with the beautiful boy...
Don’t look over here.

The next morning.
Even in her sleep, Su Zaizai felt uneasy. She woke up feeling a heaviness in her lower abdomen, sensing something wasn’t right.
It was still early, and everyone in the dormitory was still asleep.
Su Zaizai quietly got out of bed and tiptoed outside.
When she reached the restroom, sure enough, her period had started.
Su Zaizai usually didn’t feel much during her period, except for the first day.
On the first day, the pain could torment her to death.
She put on a sanitary pad, washed up, and returned to the dormitory.
The others gradually started waking up.
Su Zaizai lay back down to rest and unknowingly fell asleep again.
Xiaoxiao, who had been assigned to the same class as Su Zaizai, came back from the restroom and immediately shook her awake, saying: “Zaizai, hurry up, it’s almost nine o’clock. If you’re late, the instructor will remember.”
Su Zaizai was a bit confused and quickly got up to put on her shoes.
The two rushed out the door.
As they neared the training ground, Xiaoxiao suddenly noticed: “Zaizai, where’s your hat?”
Su Zaizai was startled and instinctively touched her head.
“I...” She became anxious, thinking while walking, “I think I left it in the restroom...”
“What should we do?”
Su Zaizai hesitated for a moment and said: “I’ll go back and get it...”
“There’s no time.” Xiaoxiao pulled her into the line and whispered, “Let’s see what the instructor says. It’s the first day; maybe he’ll be lenient.”
Su Zaizai nodded silently.
When the whistle blew, the instructor arrived just in time.
He bent down to place the water bottle on the ground, then scanned the group and coldly ordered: “Stand properly.”
The entire class obediently stood straight.
“First, stand for fifteen minutes without moving.”
“…”
“If anyone needs to move, report it.”
As he spoke, the instructor walked around them.
Soon, he noticed Su Zaizai without a hat.
His expression darkened immediately as he walked up to her.
“Where is your hat?”
“…”
“Didn’t I say yesterday? Hat, clothes, pants, belt, shoes—all are required.”
Su Zaizai mumbled: “You did.”
“So why aren’t you wearing it?”
Due to her discomfort from her period, Su Zaizai’s voice was weak: “…I forgot.”
His voice grew louder: “How can you forget yourself but not your hat?”
Before Su Zaizai could explain that she wasn’t feeling well, she saw someone running towards her.
Behind him, another instructor was shouting angrily: “Did I tell you to move?”
Zhang Lurang ran up to Su Zaizai.
Slightly out of breath, he took off his hat and placed it on her head.
The hat was warm from the sun and slightly damp from his sweat.
Su Zaizai was completely stunned.
Without saying anything, Zhang Lurang turned and walked back.
The instructor no longer pressed Su Zaizai, instead watching Zhang Lurang with interest.
Zhang Lurang’s instructor looked at him coldly as he returned.
Instead of letting him rejoin the formation, he repeated coldly: “Did I tell you to move?”
Zhang Lurang softly replied: “Report, no.”
Then, the instructor issued another order: “Prepare for push-ups.”
Zhang Lurang immediately dropped down, lowering his body and maintaining the position without moving.
Su Zaizai asked for leave from her instructor and went to sit under a nearby tree.
She stared at Zhang Lurang.
While she was moved, she mostly felt sad.
Seeing Zhang Lurang being punished made her heart ache.
The instructor smirked beside him, remarking: “Do you think you look cool like this?”
Su Zaizai lowered her eyes and muttered:
“It was very cool.”
