Dahai and Gu Zhili are in the same class. After Haihai returned to the classroom, he saw the rice balls on the table, which were his favorite rice with shrimp, seaweed and dried plum.
Adolescent boys get hungry so fast that half of the rice balls are eaten in two or three times.
Zhao Lanxiang also prepared a full box for his son, which is definitely enough for his appetite. Gu Zhili glanced at the sea.
Dahai generously handed the lunch box to Gu Zhili, "Are you hungry, let's eat."
Gu Zhili followed his words and took a rice ball to eat.
He Jiashu was wearing the school's uniform white uniform at that time. It was clear and clean, and there seemed to be a broken light in the narrowed peach blossom eyes. Gu Zhili was the same, wearing the exact same school uniform but wearing a man's meticulous neatness, clean enough to shine. His cheeks were chewing slowly, and his Adam's apple rolled from time to time with a faint sound of swallowing, which made the girl at the table hear the warm heart thumping.
He Jiashu is still a boy completely, but Gu Zhili already has a sexy appearance of a man. Often people are afraid to look directly at him, his face is red and his ears are red, he is as handsome as the hero in the movie.
Gu Zhili praised: "It's delicious. Aunt Xiang's craftsmanship has always been very good. When I look back, I want to thank Aunt Xiang."
His eyes were deep, and the corners of his lips twitched.
After the sea went back that day, he told his mother about this.
Zhao Lanxiang thought that Gu Zhili was in the same class as Da Hai, and this juncture was the period when the boy was growing up. Both Gu Gong and Gu Shuoming were their old acquaintances, so Zhao Lanxiang made an extra copy every day after that.
Tangtang also brought an extra meal belonging to Gu Zhili every day.
The seniors in the science experimental class of senior three all knew Dahai, the lovely sister, and they were already used to her coming to deliver meals. And Gu Zhili and Dahai were brothers who grew up together, so they also tacitly agreed that Tangtang was Gu Zhili's childhood sweetheart.
The three often walked together after school, which gradually became the norm.
If Da Hai was invited to play basketball after school, Gu Zhili would most likely wait for Tang Tang downstairs in the first grade teaching. Gu Zhili, who was waiting for someone the first time, did not wait for Tangtang and went directly to her classroom.
He looked at the girl who was hesitantly writing homework in her seat for a long time, and there was a faint emotion in his narrow eyes.
In a light tone, he said bluntly: "Why, are you still hiding from your iron egg?"
Gu Zhili's self-deprecating self-proclaimed, and her embarrassment pierced so lightly, made Tangtang glared at him suddenly.
She said, "Hide, hide... I also want to wait for the sea, it doesn't matter, he's almost done after I finish writing a math paper, you go back first—"
Gu Zhili took her out and looked down at her condescendingly, "Well, then you will be pitifully hungry to write the test paper, and he has already returned home to eat."
"He won't remember you."
Tangtang found a little familiarity.
If it is so flat, it is really the style of the iron egg.
She remembered the days when he was a child when the touch of two lips could make people jump.
Gu Zhili said again: "You girls are puberty, are you all so twisted?"
"I used to be like a talker, but now I can't say a few words with a stick. Jiayue has grown up and has become a lady, a woman, and a woman."
Tang Tang was like being stepped on and hurting her foot. If he knew that she had been a little confused about him at some point, he would have laughed out loud.
Tangtang's mind turned back and forth, and she still had a calm expression on her face when she reached the end. She bit her word by word: "Yes, ah, now, I have become a lady."
A faint smile appeared on Gu Zhili's calm face, and the corners of his lips were slightly pulled apart.
"Well, I see, lady, please pack up quickly. I'm hungry."
Gu Zhili asked about her schoolwork, and Tangtang, like her younger sister, explained it honestly.
After finishing speaking, she asked about the red list posted in the last monthly exam, "Your English is very good?"
Gu Zhili was silent for a moment, then coughed lightly: "Not very good."
"If the grades are good, why should I ask you to make up for it?"
He asked in a calm, steady tone, neither hurried nor slow.
Such a normal tone made Tangtang wonder at this moment if she had hit someone's sore foot.
Tangtang turned her head to remedy and said, "You can be ashamed to ask questions, be humble and work hard. He is extremely proud of Dahai, and he would rather shut himself up for a few days than admit that he can't."
Hearing this, Gu Zhili was extremely silent.
Without looking back, he could imagine the expression on her face at the moment, and he even took out his earphones and listened to English.
Ha ha.
After that, there was nothing to say, Gu Zhili took the girl in the back seat and sent her home safely.
He said to Tangtang, "you are still young, don't think about so many messy things."
"It's enough to study hard."
Tang Tang was inexplicable when she heard this, she couldn't help asking, "What's the mess?"
Gu Zhili remembered that she found an unknown letter in an English book when she went back that day, and her attitude has changed since then.
He only said that she was extremely slow when she was supposed to be smart, but she was too sensitive when she was supposed to be stupid.
Gu Zhili taught her a serious lesson like a big brother: "The most important thing for high school students to do is to study hard."
"Neither I nor the sea will fall in love early. We won't need to receive letters for us in the future, and don't take anything with us."
"Remember?"
Tangtang nodded, remembering two important points. She no longer needs to receive letters, and Gu Zhili himself admitted that he will not fall in love early.
She glanced back at him before going upstairs, "That's not necessarily true. The sea has never said such a thing. You can't represent him."
Gu Zhili only waved at her, but did not speak.
Many years later, He Jiayue asked Gu Zhili why he could swear to say this sentence in the third year of high school.
Gu Zhili replied, "The character of Dahai is a good material for orphans. If he can talk to a girlfriend, my surname is his. Hehe..."
At that time, hehe didn't mean the connotative smile, Gu Zhili's cold face could already accurately express its essence.
…
In the winter, Gu Zhili and Dahai were nervously preparing for the college entrance examination. The thick test papers they had saved over the course of a semester could be used as firewood.
Zhao Lanxiang told Dahai about the scene when his parents took the college entrance examination.
She raised her head and said with deep emotion: "The college entrance examination has changed the fate of a generation. Your father was a poor farmer in the valleys and valleys.
"Suddenly the college entrance examination resumed. He realized that this was his only chance. He sharpened his head to study and studied all night long. You must know that your father didn't go to school for a day before. But then he took the test. When I got the provincial champion, the situation at the time was that if he didn't get the champion, he wouldn't have a chance to study because of his ingredients. You can imagine how many hardships he went through. So—"
"Da Hai, Tangtang, come on. The smoothness you experienced in the first half of your life is the result of your parents' hard work. Cherish the college entrance examination and don't despise it. It is the only chance for the generation of parents to reverse their fate." Zhao Lanxiang sighed with emotion typical.
Hai Hai deeply took note of his mother's words.
He began to prepare hard for the battle. In winter, his fingers stiffened and he put it to his mouth and continued to write.
His parents were people who crossed the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, especially when his father was the provincial champion. Dahai realized that he couldn't fall into his parents' name. On New Year's Eve, the family compound distributed a bunch of welfare subsidies, shopping vouchers, and movie tickets. Gu Zhili gave these tickets to the sea.
Dahai left it idle in the corner, and Gu Zhili used these tickets to trick Tangtang out to watch the movie.
He calmly said: "Occasionally entertaining, learning will be more vigorous."
Cinemas in the 1990s were already quite large, at least not the open-air, black-and-white films of the parents’ generation. Tangtang yawned in distress as she sat on the brand new cotton seat.
Gu Zhili watched the whole movie silently by himself, and only woke Tang Tang up when the scene was over.
When Tang Tang woke up, she found that her head was leaning on Gu Zhili's shoulder. He was 1.9 meters tall and was forced to bend his knees and sink into the seat. She pressed his neck warmly and sprayed a movie. of heat.
The heat made his ears slightly red.
Tangtang jumped up when she woke up, and said, "I'm sorry, I've slept, is the movie over?"
Gu Zhili nodded, but his face was very gentle without showing any displeasure.
Tangtang has always known that he is a stingy person, and most of the time he is going to be angry, so he snorted coldly by the way.
But he silently touched her hair and said warmly, "It doesn't matter, it's not a good movie."
"Go to bed earlier."
Tang Tang was accustomed to his cold and vicious tongue. Seeing his gentle appearance for the first time, she felt extremely sad.
She followed behind Gu Zhili, stepping on his shadow, and suddenly wanted to ask him what type of girls he liked.
In fact, she asked too.
Gu Zhili thought for a while and quickly said, "I like taller ones, girls in the south are too short."
Tangtang looked at his slender and straight thighs, then at his own short legs, and silently muffled.
It was also many years later that she secretly flipped through Gu Zhili's notes before realizing that the humble Gu Tiedan's rare tenderness was to hide her guilty conscience.
In the dark cinema that day, he couldn't resist the temptation and secretly kissed her shamelessly.
So much so that the question she asked later aroused his vigilance and made him firmly deny it.
…
Winter is gone and spring is here, spring is gone and summer is here.
Gu Zhili and Dahai both entered the examination room for the college entrance examination. Just like thousands of college entrance examination candidates, He Songbai and Zhao Lanxiang stopped work for the first time, and picked up their son to pick up Gu Zhili.
Before the results were announced, Dahai confidently filled in his father's alma mater, T University, and Tang Tang asked Gu Zhili where he filled in. Gu Zhili replied that he had filled out a military academy, which was reasonable and expected. Because he took a year off from school when he was a sophomore in high school and attended special training with his father.
Because he grew up in a military compound, Tangtang knew that the military academy he applied for was closed for the entire course of teaching, with only a few short winter and summer vacations.
She sighed to Gu Zhili, "Good luck."
"Who told you to abuse yourself to fill out this kind of school."
Gu Zhili's eyes are far-reaching, with a very light smile in his eyes, but his tone is serious: "It is a dream in my heart."
"Defend the stability of the motherland and protect the safety of people's property."
Both Dahai and Tangtang laughed, because their great-grandfather often said the same.
Da Hai said: "Go ahead and defend the stability of the motherland. I will develop the economy of the motherland!"
After the results came down, Dahai took off the crown of the provincial champion without any suspense, followed by Gu Zhili, who was close to the top five in the province. The school produced two outstanding achievements at once, and happily pulled up the banner and presented financial rewards. Dahai took out the reward money, attached his pocket money and invited the whole class to the newly opened restaurant for a meal.
He was so happy that he got drunk and dragged Gu Zhili to be drunk. Gu Zhili used his eldest brother to call the He family and said that he would send the sea home.
After receiving the call, Tang Tang and his father drove to the restaurant, and soon they returned home.
Gu Zhili threw the drunken teenager onto the bed, and covered his head with an ice towel, which stimulated the sea to twist his body and fall asleep behind him.
Gu Zhili's clothes, which had always been tidy, were stained with vomit from the sea, Tang Tang handed him a brand-new men's shirt, "Change it, it wasn't the sea that passed through it, it was me, my family's. Auntie bought it new."
She also knew that Gu Zhili was not used to wearing other people's clothes.
Gu Zhili glanced at Tang Tang lightly, took the clothes and went to the bathroom to change them, and took a shower by the way.
The boy who just came out of the bathroom had wet hair, and his cold face was covered with a faint crimson color. The light and thin clothing vaguely outlined the texture of his chest, and the tall and stern boy suddenly became alive and fragrant.
Youthful and abstinence.
As if showing in front of her every night before going to sleep, Gu Zhili.
Tangtang glanced over, "I'm going to bed first."
Gu Zhili took out a large towel and wiped the water droplets on the top of his hair, before humming lightly.
Just before the door lock was about to fall, he stopped Tangtang.
Tangtang snorted, and the end of doubt raised.
Gu Zhili said, "Although I can't stare at you at school, please remember not to fall in love early."
"I found out, hehe..."
Tangtang didn't answer him, she snorted vaguely, turned around and fled.
Some people are really abominable. After being fascinated by people, they pretend to be parents in a serious manner, waving their sleeves lightly without taking away a cloud.
It's abominable.
Many years later, Tang Tang asked Gu Zhili to be ashamed, but only allowed the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light the lights, which was really a double standard.
Gu Zhili said calmly and without guilt: "I was an adult at that time, and you didn't. That's the difference."
"Understand?"
…
Golden autumn September.
Freshmen reported one after another that after Gu Zhili went to college, he was busier than the legendary military cadet. He never had time to go home during the winter and summer vacations. Dahai and Tangtang once thought that their old friends had lost contact.
If they hadn't received his letters every now and then, they'd probably have forgotten him.
What Dahai said: "When I was young, I walked in a hurry. When I was a little older, I came back. Let's remember him again. He disappeared completely."
"Busy man... Busier than our dad."
Dahai despised Gu Huaijin's perfunctory one or two words in the letter, wishing you peace, good luck, and hope for a reunion. If it weren't for the iron-like friendship he had accumulated in high school, Dahai would have ranked him to the back.
"But for the sake of his handsomeness, I decided to stay with him silently."
Dahai's thumb flicked the photo of the military uniform with a gun sent by Gu Huaijin. Every boy has a dream of green pine branches in his heart. Although Gu Zhili speaks few people, but he is rarely a friend who can be respected by the sea.
He complained and wrote to the sea about Shuimu Qinghua's wonderful life, "Let him be jealous!"
Tang Tang silently watched her brother write the letter, her mind couldn't help drifting to the long, rambling letters written to her by Gu Zhili in her locked drawer.
She decided not to tell the sea and let him continue to be optimistic.
Spring and autumn came, Tang Tang was promoted to the third year of high school, and also entered the battlefield where his younger brother once walked.
She wrote calmly, and checked the test papers again and again with the unparalleled care and patience in her life. Outside the window, she knew that the sound of chirping was booming, the fragrance of gardenias was strong and intoxicating, and the warm wind made people anxious.
Tangtang remembered that her younger brother remembered Gu Zhili, the proud achievements they had created, and her heart was swelled with warmth.
When writing the last line of the last subject, her black pen suddenly bent, and neatly drew a small heart in the blank.
Gu Zhili, I love you.
…
After the college entrance examination, Tangtang added glory to her alma mater with the top ten results in the second province of the city. She did not hesitate to fill in the school of the sea, which is also the place where Grandpa Gu worked.
Soon after school started, she ushered in her and the sea's coming-of-age ceremony.
Tangtang and Dahai's eighteenth birthdays are in the autumn. It is said that eighteen years ago in the autumn, she and her younger brother almost tossed their mother to death in the delivery room.
At the age of eighteen, Da Hai and her personally cooked a meal for her mother, and they made the cake together.
There were two little people standing next to the little princess wearing a skirt with layers of pink waves. In order to draw the skirt pattern made of thin colored threads, Tangtang spent a few pieces of cake. Dahai learned Uncle Tie Zhu'er's special skills, and after practicing hard for a long time, he finally had a place to play. He made a Buddha jumping over the wall, and when he lifted the lid, the fragrance filled the house, making the index finger move.
Looking at these two filial children, Zhao Lanxiang was moved to tears.
Tang Tang leaned on her arm and acted coquettishly, "Mom, blow out the candles and make a wish!"
Dahai put the birthday hat on his mother in a very gentlemanly manner, and took the opportunity to put the necklace he bought with the money he earned during the winter and summer vacations around her neck, "Mom, thank you."
Zhao Lanxiang was both moved and disgusted, "It's obviously your birthday, sit down, it's time to blow the candles, happy eighteen, my darlings."
Tangtang and Dahai opened the champagne and sprayed it, and the ribbons and fireworks flew all over the ground.
They invited many classmates and friends who started friendship in high school, junior high school and even kindergarten, and happily sang the birthday song and had a good time.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the birthday party was almost over, and Tangtang and her aunt at home cleaned up the mess in the house.
She got a call.
The man's mellow voice is sexy and deep, "Happy birthday."
He took a breath, slightly hurried and somewhat sultry.
"Although it's a bit late for blessing, I'll give you a gift."
Tang Tang was very angry when she got the call and hung up.
There were a few more persistent calls over there, and the last time Tangtang finally answered, his helpless voice came from the microphone, "It seems that the person who gave me gifts has arrived, go and open the door."
Tangtang put on her coat and ran downstairs, beside the rustling trees in the late autumn, a long shadow was quietly elongated by the moonlight.
Her breath suddenly became hurried, and she ran to him in two steps.
She has a lot to say, but at this moment, her throat is like being tapped, and she can't make a sound.
After not seeing him for two years, he has grown stronger and taller. He has faded away from the boy's innocence and has become more mature and stable, with a tough heroic spirit, and his eyes are firm and deep. The faint moonlight made his face more serene and handsome.
He looked at Tang Tang wearing slippers and crooked clothes, her sexy thin lips parted in a curved arc, and she smiled deeply.
"Be good, don't you fall in love early?"
The author has something to say:
Wow, there's a lot of little theatre to write about in this chapter.
Pingshengjun: People are tough, but dogs are tough.
Come on, come on, everyone is making a lively stew of dogs. hey hey hey hey

Tangtang: Is he really not pretending, is he really? His tone is so firm, and his expression is so calm.
Looking at Tie Dan, who was immersed in the English-speaking world, he blushed suddenly.
After many years—
