At the ping-pong table, Lu Yu handed Mo An a bottle of Scream. “Here! Nothing beats a bottle of Scream on a summer day.” Mo An took it, and the two sat in the shade beneath an ancient tree. The wind came and went, and leaves occasionally drifted down from the branches.
Mo An picked up his bottle of Scream, took a few swigs, and lay down by the tree. “Which high school are you going to?” A leaf fell onto Mo An's head, and Lu Yu plucked it off. “Which high school do you want to go to?”
“I don't know. With grades like mine, I probably won't get in anywhere.”
“I'll tutor you, little Mo.”
Mo An opened his left eye and glanced at the fool lying beside him, then closed it again and took a deep breath. “Tutoring? I'm not really into studying, but... I'd be really happy if I could go to the same school as you! Then it's settled.” Lu Yu smiled. “Great!”
Mo An said, “I'm hard to teach. I forget things soon after I learn them. My memory isn't very good.” He gave an awkward laugh and scratched his head.
“It's okay. I like teaching you.”
“Sure. Nobody else likes teaching me. Only you do. They've taught me a lot, but I haven't really learned much of anything. I look kind of dumb, so I'm hard to teach.” He smiled. “Then you teach me.” He was always a little slow and spacey.
Lu Yu froze. Inner thoughts: He looks so well-behaved and cute. His smile is so lovely. His face flushed a little, and he quickly covered it with his hands, not wanting Mo An to see. Inner thoughts: So...! No... I can't let him see me like this.
Mo An: “What's wrong?”
[Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, class is over. Teachers, thank you for your hard work.]
Lu Yu: “Nothing. Let's go.”
Inner thoughts: I almost let my true nature show.
“Will you really always like me?”
“I will.”

Theme: The evening sky glows with brilliant clouds, and white clouds stretch on without end. Hand in hand, the two leave this place and head somewhere farther away.
