"Dumplings, hot."
"Little Teacher remembers?"
"Remembers." Always remembers, Ellie added in her heart.
William sat in the park downstairs, ate a bucket of dumplings, and said to her, "Hot ones are indeed better."
Ellie didn't speak, just smiled, watching him continue to eat the dumplings.
William ate all of them without leaving any, then carried the bucket and said to Ellie, "Little Teacher, accompany me to get a haircut?"
"Okay."
Ellie looked at William's motorcycle parked not far away and said, "Can you still ride?"
"Don't worry."
William bought a new helmet.
Pink, a bit smaller than his.
He lowered his head to put the helmet on Ellie, his movements very careful, showing a bit of tenderness.
Coco meowed, seemingly saying, "Why don't I have a helmet?"
William glanced at Coco in the cat carrier and laughed, "Forgot about you, I'll buy one for you another day."
Ellie couldn't help but laugh.
William stepped onto the motorcycle, put on his own helmet, and said to Ellie, "Let's go."
"Okay."
He didn't ride fast, Ellie grabbed the back of his clothes, then said, "You can ride faster, William."
"Then hold on tight, Little Teacher."
As soon as William finished speaking, Ellie hugged his waist and said, "I've got a good grip."
She looked well-behaved, with a gentle personality, yet she liked this kind of thrill and speed, which surprised him before.
Ellie could feel the whooshing wind through her helmet, and in this thrilling speed, she felt comfortable and exhilarated.
In the hair salon.
William stuffed the snacks he bought into her arms, then took out a bottle of milk from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Drink it while it's warm."
"Okay."
William also put his phone into her hand, saying, "The password is your birthday, there are little games in it, play by yourself for a while."
"Okay." Ellie was suddenly a bit overwhelmed, when did he know her birthday, she said, "How did you know my birthday?"
"I accidentally saw it when filling in the information before."
Ellie was surprised that he remembered it after just one glance.
She sat on the sofa nearby, took a sip of milk, and watched the hairdresser cut William's hair.
A call popped up on William's phone, Ellie took the phone and walked up to him, saying, "Someone is calling."
William glanced at the label and said, "Answer it for me."
"Okay."
Daniel's voice came from the phone: "William, where are you?"
"Getting a haircut."
"I'll come find you."
"Don't."
Daniel was stunned for a while, then reacted, saying, "Is William with Ellie?"
Ellie couldn't hear the conversation between the two, she saw William glance at herself and said yes.
William hung up the phone and handed the phone back to Ellie.
Ellie played the little game for a while, looked up and saw William walking towards herself.
"Let's go, Little Teacher."
"Okay."
William took the snacks from her hand, and the bag with the thermos, and carried them in his hand.
The two walked for a while, Ellie suddenly felt a surge of heat.
Her mind went blank in an instant.
"What's wrong?" William saw her ears suddenly red, and she stood there embarrassed and motionless.
Ellie licked her lips, a bit flustered, not knowing how to speak.
"Is your stomach uncomfortable?"
"Mm-hmm."
William took off his coat and tied it around her waist, he looked down and said, "Go to the bathroom first."
At the entrance of the nearest bathroom, William said to her, "Wait for me for a while, I'll be back soon."
Ellie stood at the door, and soon saw William coming with a black bag.
It was a very large black bag.
William handed her the things in his hand and said, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you outside."
As soon as Ellie got to the bathroom and opened the bag, she was stunned, there were at least seven or eight packs inside.
She cleaned up and washed her hands before going out.
Looking up, she saw William waiting outside.
She walked up to William and whispered, "Why did you buy so many?"
"I didn't know which brand you like, I asked the aunts inside, they said these are good, so I bought them all."
Ellie had an indescribable feeling.
"Does your stomach hurt?"
"Not too much."
William took out the warm baby from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "It's already heated, stick it on."
The teenager's tone was gentle, and his gaze at her was extremely tender.
William watched her stick on the warm baby and said, "Let's not hang out anymore, have a meal and I'll take you back."
"Okay."
During the meal, William handed something to Ellie and said, "Drink it, it will make your stomach comfortable."
Ellie looked at the brown sugar small balls he handed over, and she didn't even know when he had bought them.
"William, I'll wash the coat clean and return it to you."
"You don't have to, Little Teacher, don't touch cold water, just give it to me directly another day, and don't stay up late today, go to bed early, I'll supervise you."
"Okay." Besides okay, Ellie couldn't say anything else.
The teenager was tender to the utmost.
...
April 11th, Monday.
"Students, we will use a combined paper for this Wednesday's comprehensive science exam, which may be good news for some students, but a disaster for some, please plan your time reasonably."
"Okay!"
Adrian said, "I heard from my cousin that it seems the first time using the large combined paper, scores will fluctuate."
Theodore said, "My cousin said that he usually could score 160 or 170 for the three subjects combined, but after using the large combined paper, he didn't even score 100 for the first time."
"Really?" Adrian said, then continued, "Isn't that a direct disaster?"
Theodore glanced at him: "Don't believe it, last time he said he didn't study much, and then he improved by 20 points in a turn."
"Hey, you guy..." Adrian finished, looking at Ellie who was writing questions with her head down, and said, "Ellie, this is the first time using the large combined paper, are you nervous?"
"Not really, I've written it before."
"Do you have the papers from previous years?"
"Yes." Ellie finished, took out a stack of papers and handed it to him.
Adrian flipped through a few, saw a paper that was written on, he thought Ellie didn't check the answers, but when he turned to the back, he found red pen marks.
It turned out she didn't get many wrong.
"Can I borrow one to look at, I'll write in pencil?" Adrian said.
"You can just write on it."
"Thank you, deskmate."
"You're welcome."
As soon as class was over, Adrian saw William coming, consciously left his seat, and ran to play in the front row.
William put a bottle of milk on Ellie's desk.
Ellie picked up the milk, it was still warm, she said, "It's just after the first class, when did you buy the milk?"
"Warmed it in my pocket."
"Don't do this next time."
"Why not?" William stared at her small expression, a bit itchy in his heart.
"The milk will be cold."
"What does it matter, can't give Little Teacher cold milk." William smiled with a bit of ruffian air.
