On Monday morning, the good-natured Brother Zhan walked into the classroom and found his desk surrounded by a large crowd. To be precise, his tablemate was surrounded by a lot of people.
Zhan Ming entered the classroom through the back door, but everyone hadn't noticed it yet.
Gu Qinan was digging out the exercise books one by one, and when the bag was empty, he said, "This is what I brought today."
The crowd snapped and snapped their phones.
Xiao Pang sat in Zhan Ming's seat and asked admiringly, "Is there any more at home?"
Gu Qinan nodded.
Everyone gasped.
Xiaopang admired more and more: "This is just buying according to it, we can't finish it..."
"You can't finish your homework, and you still have to do so many exercise books?" someone whispered.
"Xueba, what time do you sleep every day and how many hours?" someone asked.
Gu Qinan had a puzzled look on his face, "Why is this kind of question asked?", but he still answered: "Go to bed at ten o'clock and get up at 5:30 in the morning."
"Half-thirty?! Oh my God!" Little Fatty exclaimed, "Although I slept quite early, I really can't get up at half-past five."
Gu Qinan's home and No. 7 Middle School are just two points on the diagonal of Nanzhou City. They have to take the subway for an hour, so they can only get up early. However, the people around you said something to me, and Gu Qinan couldn't get in if he wanted to explain.
"Have you finished your homework?"
"It's impossible to finish it, right? And why do you come to school with so many books? The school only has lunch breaks. Do you have to do so many exercises during the two-hour lunch break?!"
"You can't imagine the speed of a scholar."
"Are you finished?" Brother Zhan, who had a good temper, was blocked from the circle and asked coldly.
Little Fatty stood up and said loudly, "Early reading class is over, I'll go back to my seat first!"
Everyone hurriedly used the class bell to make birds and beasts scattered.
Brother Zhan felt unhappy all over, and sat down with the soy milk rolls.
Gu Qinan kept his exercise books one by one, and put them all into the big bag.
Zhan Ming watched him put it away, and watched him take out eggs and milk from the side pocket of the big schoolbag and put them on his table.
Well, I feel a little better.
After Zhan Ming finished his breakfast, he looked at the large schoolbag that Gu Qinan tucked into the desk drawer, which contained the day's textbooks, notebooks, practice papers, and the exercise books that Gu Qinan bought himself.
Zhan Ming stretched out his hand and pulled out the big schoolbag, Gu Qinan was startled and stepped back.
Zhan Ming tried the weight of the schoolbag, it was almost twenty pounds. He tucked the schoolbag back into Qinan's desk and asked, "Do you carry such a heavy load every day?"
Gu Qinan nodded.
Zhan Ming looked at him, speechless: "Look at your small body of less than 1.7 meters, carrying such a heavy schoolbag to and from school every day, are you not afraid that you will not grow taller?"
Zhan Ming didn't expect that he would hit Gu Qinan's pain point, annoyed Gu Qinan, and said angrily, "I'm only fifteen years old, and I will still grow taller!"
Gu Qinan said that he was really childish when he was fifteen years old, and Zhan Ming was amused.
Lin Xiaobin, who frantically made up his homework for two days on the weekend, turned around and saw it, wow wow, saying that he saw the smile of the god of death, and it was over.
In the early class, everyone was memorizing English, but Gu Qinan was writing exercises.
Zhan Ming used to think that Gu Qinan was stupid in reading and would not use his time rationally, but now he thinks that he is stupid. Of course, the learning methods of Xueba are different from theirs.
Zhan Ming didn't want to endorse it either, so he sat there watching Gu Qinan do the questions. After looking at it for a while, he found that Gu Qinan did the questions very interestingly. Xiao Nanzai did not do all the questions, but did it by jumping. In just one morning reading class, Gu Qinan changed two exercise books.
Moreover, while Xiao Nanzai was doing the questions, he could also notice that Zhan Ming was paying attention to him, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhan Ming's insult to his height in his mouth, and refused to talk to Zhan Ming.
After class, Wu Yuan greeted Zhan Ming to the canteen.
Ten minutes later, Zhan Ming didn't want to go that far, so he rang the bell again and again.
But Gu Qinan was still doing the questions angrily, as if he had no intention of talking to him.
Zhan Ming had no choice but to go to the canteen, buy a bottle of Yakult and a packet of Wangzai steamed buns for the child, and said, "Please enjoy Nange, who is now 1.7 meters tall and will grow to 1.8 meters in the future."
Gu Qinan laughed at once, and reluctantly took over Yakult and Wangzai's small steamed buns.
In the first two classes in the morning, in math and physics classes, the teacher was lecturing on the exam papers, and Gu Qinan had been doing the questions underneath. Except for the physics teacher to stop and listen when he talks about a topic he got wrong, the rest have been doing their own thing.
During the big break, the four of them walked to the playground. Wu Yuan asked him, "Brother Nan, your class is a little too aggressive. You don't listen to the teacher's class at all, and you keep doing the questions yourself."
"I'm listening." Gu Qinan said, "I've previewed the content of the teacher's class in advance, and I have completed the exercises after class. I will only listen when the teacher talks about the knowledge points that I don't understand. I have mastered it. There is no need to listen to the content, it is better to seize the time to do the questions.”
Wu Yuan listened in a stunned manner and sighed: "I think it's useless for me to know Xueba. I can't learn Xueba's learning methods."
Lin Xiaobin rolled his eyes: "Brother Nan, it's not your fault that you study well. It's a mistake to pretend that you're good at studying! If you say that you're not good at English, you're the first in your grade!"
Gu Qinan said sincerely: "This is also the first time for me to take the first grade in the total score test. I have never been the first in the test. My previous best grade ranking was the twenty-seventh grade. There are forty people in the experimental class, and I am the The thirteenth from the bottom in the class. Except for the math teacher, no teacher has ever praised me in particular."
Zhanming three people: "..."
Gu Qinan continued: "And this time the paper is relatively simple, so—"
"Okay, stop talking." Lin Xiaobin interrupted him, "I feel like you are insulting my brain."
Gu Qinan felt that he had said something wrong again, and wanted to explain. Zhan Ming put his shoulders on him, pulled him in front of him, and said, "Brother Bin's brain is often insulted, you don't need to worry about him."
When they returned to the classroom after the recess, the fifth class seemed to want to gather around and ask questions, but they didn't dare to come over when they saw Zhan Ming sitting there with a face drawn.
Of course Gu Qinan didn't notice this, he was still eating Wangzai's small steamed buns one by one, with boiled water.
Yakult had run out. He wanted to buy a drink, but he held back and refused Zhan Ming's lemon tea.
"Drinking too many drinks will also affect your height." Gu Qinan said seriously.
Lin Xiaobin laughed so hard that he almost fainted: "You're already the first in your grade, why are you so stupid? Hahaha, don't think about it, it's just you little hairy head. Look at Brother Zhan, drink drinks every day, and he is 1.9 meters tall. !"
Gu Qinan was really a little hurt from being laughed at.
He is the shortest among the four, walking with Brother Zhan, who is like a primary school student.
Zhan Ming stretched out his big palm and pushed Lin Xiaobin back mercilessly against his face.
"The child is young and can grow taller."
Gu Qinan nodded: "Yes! I'm two years younger than you!"
During the physical education class in the afternoon, Gu Qinan worked very hard. First listen to the teacher's instructions, and follow everyone to run around the playground to warm up. Later, the teacher let them move freely, and they went to the equipment room to get sports equipment. The girl took the badminton, the boy took the basketball, and he alone took the skipping rope.
Lin Xiaobin and Wu Yuan went to play basketball with the other boys in the class.
Gu Qinan took the skipping rope and walked to the corner of the playground, earnestly skipping his rope.
Zhan Ming lay under the mango tree and watched Gu Qinan foolishly skipping rope.
In contemporary high school boys, there are people who don't choose cool basketball and football in physical education class, but skipping rope
Gu Qinan danced for a few minutes first, gasping for breath, stopped to rest, and walked to Zhan Ming.
"Brother Zhan, are you not going to play basketball?"
Zhan Ming shook his head: "They are too good."
Gu Qinan chuckled: "Is Wang Yue also a vegetable?"
Wang Yue is on the school basketball team and brags about it in the class every day. No wonder he boasted that the boys on the school basketball team are really cool. They have played several games in the city and won several awards. There are also some girls who go to the basketball court after class to watch handsome guys and cheer on the basketball team.
Zhan Ming didn't even think about it: "Very good."
Gu Qinan's nose was dripping with sweat, and he laughed directly: "Brother Zhan, you can't pretend, after all, they belong to the school team."
He actually even learned the word pretense.
With his obedient face, the word "pretend" is really inappropriate.
Zhan Ming pointed out: "Don't imitate Lin Xiaobin's words."
Gu Qinan shook the rope, then started to jump again, and said, "I'm going to learn."
Zhan Ming: "… "
Gu Qinan danced for a while, until his cheeks were flushed.
Zhan Ming asked him, "Why skip rope? It's like elementary school students, why don't you play with them?"
Gu Qinan shook his head: "First of all, I can't play basketball; secondly, to grow taller, skipping rope is a better sport than playing basketball, because skipping rope is a sport that squeezes cartilage rhythmically, so—"
Zhan Ming looked at him seriously explaining the benefits of skipping rope, he was really cute, he was a handsome little guy.
If Gu Qinan was in this state on the day of his transfer, no one would refuse to be at the same table with him. Sometimes he speaks silly, sometimes straight, but not annoying, but rather amusing. He is young and small, and anyone who looks at him will look at him like a little brother.
The Gu Qinan I first saw in April was not Gu Qinan. Now the boy who is covered in sunshine and standing under the mango tree is Gu Qinan.
He is excellent, self-disciplined, has a happy family, and will be surrounded by classmates and friends in the future.
He is a person from a completely different world from Zhan Ming.
Even the teacher felt that they were not suitable to sit together.
"Are you listening?" Gu Qinan doubted.
Zhan Ming stood up, put away his rope, and said, "Let's go, school is over, Brother Zhan will take you to the subway station."
Gu Qinan happily collected the rope and asked, "Want to take your little electric motorcycle? Why? You don't work until six o'clock?"
"It's still early, I'm walking around." Zhan Ming said.
After returning to the classroom, they were delayed for ten minutes. Because two girls stopped Gu Qinan and asked him a math problem. Gu Qinan had to stop and talk to them about the topic.
Zhan Ming carried his large schoolbag on one shoulder and waited for him beside him.
When he walked out of the classroom, Gu Qinan muttered: "I didn't even talk to me at first, but after the first test, all of a sudden, he was willing to talk to me."
Zhan Ming rubbed his head and said, "It's not just because you took the first place in the exam."
"It's because of this." Gu Qinan said dissatisfiedly, "I... stayed in a middle school, I understand it too well."
"No." Zhan Ming carried Gu Qinan's schoolbag on his back and said coolly, "It's because you are likable."
Until he got on the subway, Gu Qinan was still thinking about Brother Zhan's words.
It was the first time he was praised like that.
From childhood to adulthood, he had no friends, nor did he have any good classmates. I don't know if it was because he skipped a grade and left before he had time to develop a relationship with his classmates; or because he had a bad personality.
Qi Yixiu from the cram school and Li Teng, the senior of the Math Olympiad class, were the only ones he had, and he was considered a good classmate.
But usually he hardly chats with Qi Yixiu, and after Li Teng went to college, they rarely contacted each other.
Can this be considered a good friend
Probably not.
For the first time, the person who made Gu Qinan feel like a good friend was Brother Zhan.
Obviously they have only known each other for less than two months.
Gu Qinan picked up the phone and sent a message.
3: Brother Zhan, you are my best friend!
rock Me:…
Shake Shake: Why is it so numb all of a sudden
3: Brother Zhan, you are more likeable, you are the most likeable! You can do anything, you are amazing!
Shake Shake: ... Shut up.
Gu Qinan giggled while holding the phone.
"Hey, it looks like you really had a good time at No. 7 High School."
A nightmarish voice sounded in front of Gu Qinan.
Gu Qinan looked up suddenly and saw Lin Shida standing in front of him, looking down at him.
Lin Shida's gold wire glasses reflected light under the subway overhead light, making it difficult to see his eyes, and his voice was as cold and disgusting as ever.
"I heard that He Xin and the others went to find you and were beaten by you. You found a backer in No. 7 Middle School so quickly? Hey, did you use the same method again? Just like Li Teng, Mini is crazy."
A burst of strong nausea flooded Gu Qinan's stomach, making him want to retching.
"Go away." Gu Qinan hugged his big schoolbag tightly.
"Go away? Are you too rude? I finally have time-"
"roll!"
Gu Qinan raised his voice, and everyone in half of the carriage looked over with exploratory eyes.
Lin Shida shrank, walked to another carriage, and disappeared in front of Gu Qinan.
But that cold and disgusting feeling haunted Gu Qinan for several days.
