Buddha said goodbye by fate.

Now he said goodbye to the boy who never thought he would see each other again.

It wasn't that Gu Chaoming didn't want to see that kind boy again, but he was a little anxious when he saw Gu Tao. Gu Chaoming worked hard to clean up his mood, adjust his state, and let himself stop thinking about those things.

If he hadn't stood in the school corridor, Gu Chaoming almost wanted to pat his face with his hands.

"Young man is a young man, Gu Tao is Gu Tao, two completely unrelated people, you can relate too well, they helped you yesterday."

After some rude self-education, after thinking about it, Gu Chaoming unconsciously stretched out his hand to the black baseball cap on his head, stood up straighter, and straightened his back, as if he was not what he thought. The murderer who did it, but a seventeen-year-old boy who was as upright as his back.

Just in time for the hat, Gu Chaoming raised his hand to tidy up the collar of the school uniform again, completing this set of no special actions, as if he had completed a ritual in his heart.

The sun is still bright, the cicadas on the trees are chirping, the shade of the trees in the distance is falling, the little yellow flowers are quietly blooming, the corridor is empty, only him, there is no cool ventilation, despite the heat, everything is It's still so beautiful, as long as you don't think about Gu Tao.

Gu Tao's influence on him was stronger than he thought. What Gu Chaoming is most afraid of is not Gu Tao's beating, but living under the same roof as Gu Tao. Time slips by, hearing and seeing, unconsciously turning him into another Gu Tao, the one he hates the most.

Time seems to be able to do it easily. For Gu Chaoming, becoming such a person is more terrifying than the idea of killing Gu Tao.

He is not afraid of not having a future, what he is afraid of is that he will become the same person as Gu Tao in the future, but he himself has not discovered it.

That is the most terrifying.

The phone buzzed and vibrated again, and the hand speed that Su Bing and the girl had exercised while chatting came into full play.

After Gu Chaoming replied to Su Bing, his nerves and body gradually relaxed because of the chat. He relaxed his back, which he had just purposely straightened, leaned against the wall, his legs were slightly crossed, and with a relaxed posture, he lowered his head and scrolled up boringly at their chat records while Su Bing replied to him.

He didn't read it carefully, but just flipped through it roughly, and a long or short message swiped across the screen. When he saw the photo he sent, Gu Chaoming stopped his flipping fingers and clicked on the photo.

Due to the zoom in, the photo is a little blurry, but it's still acceptable. I can see the faces clearly, and the blurry picture quality of the handsome young man's face can't stop it.

The boy in the photo squinted his eyes slightly by the scorching summer sun. The sun filled his face without any shyness. His school uniform, which was complained by his classmates for being ugly, also improved his appearance like never before.

I have to say that the boy has a face that even boys think is handsome. Just looking at the appearance, Gu Chaoming really thinks that if Su Bing doesn't like girls anymore, it's not a loss to find this boy as a boyfriend, not only not a loss but also a profit.

Gu Chaoming sent the photo to Su Bing again: "What little beauty do you want, what a handsome little guy, you won't lose money!!!"

After posting the photo, Gu Chaoming clicked on the photo again. He still looked down at the boy in the photo, but he didn't notice that the boy he secretly photographed was standing at the end of the corridor looking at him.

At the end of the corridor is the office of the high school department. The boy just came out of the office. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the office made him surrounded by the summer heat wave as soon as he went out.

He came out in the name of the above toilet, and after getting used to the heat wave a little, he saw Gu Chaoming who was standing in the corridor.

At that time, Gu Chaoming was in a self-relaxing posture, his back was leaning slightly against the wall, his folded legs had returned to a standing position, his head was slightly lowered, and the baseball cap on his head covered part of his face, so he couldn't see the whole picture. , eyes down at the phone in his hand.

The teenager still didn't know that Gu Chaoming was looking at his own photo on the screen of the mobile phone.

Just such a casual gesture already makes people feel that Gu Chaoming is not a good character to deal with.

The young man who had just arrived looked a little hesitant. He hesitated for a while in a place where Gu Chaoming didn't pay attention. He raised and lowered his hand to say hello. He didn't know the other party's name, and he didn't even look at him.

The teenager just stood there awkwardly, looking up at the classroom sign where Gu Chaoming was standing.

High school sophomore class.

Very fate, his mother told him that his new class is the second class of high school.

The young man hesitated for a while whether to go over to greet his new classmates, and then retracted the legs that had already moved towards Gu Chaoming, thinking about it, forget it, it was too abrupt, and they were still in class, so he walked over to chat with him. it is good.

The boy gave up saying hello, turned around and planned to leave, he seemed to sigh, spread his legs and looked at Gu Chaoming in the corridor.

Gu Chaoming, who had not noticed him at first, just turned his head at this moment.

The eyes of the two met across the long corridor. The teenager never thought that Gu Chaoming would look over, nor did Gu Chaoming think that he just turned his head inadvertently, and the person on the phone screen appeared in front of him.

They didn't know each other, and the two who were about to study in the same class looked at each other and turned their heads. In the end, the young man turned his head first, and Gu Chaoming just watched him disappear from his sight.

A bit caught off guard and inexplicably looking at each other.

Gu Chaoming found out that he was doing something so inexplicable and unprepared today. He was caught by the dean and called out by the English teacher to punish him.

People are confused and only have "Huh?" "Huh?"

When looking at the photo, Gu Chaoming also defined the teenager as someone worthy of Su Bing's pursuit, much better than the girlfriends in front of him. He also thought that if Su Bing really became a transfer student, he would make a steady profit, who would have thought about it? Seeing a young man worthy of Su Bing's pursuit standing at the end of the corridor in a second, it felt like peeking at someone else's diary and being discovered on the spot by the owner of the diary.

Watching the boy leave his sight, Gu Chaoming, regardless of what Su Bing said in front of him, lowered his head and sent a message to Su Bing: "I just made eye contact with the transfer student."

Su Bing was shocked by a string of question marks.

Su Bing: "?"

Su Bing: "?? What did you say? Transfer student?"

Su Bing's excitement was in Gu Chaoming's imagination, but Gu Chaoming still said, "Why are you excited? Are you really interested in others?"

Su Bing: "Damn it, I still like you. It's okay to leave Xili's appearance as a transfer student. Tell me what's going on? Why are you looking at the transfer student?"

Gu Chaoming: "Aren't you only attracted to good looks? It seems that I'm pretty good looking in your heart. Xili likes scumbags like You Sanjin. Men are not scumbags, no one loves them."

Su Bing: "Alright, alright, our Gu Shuai has the best looks, otherwise how can we call him Gu Shuai, enough praise, let's talk about transfer students."

After Su Bing finished his post, he said, "Are you saying in disguise that we have no vision in Xili?"

Gu Chaoming typed on the keyboard, and the two of them discussed two topics at the same time, without conflict at all: "You are so pleased with your praise, please step down."

He added, "I didn't say that Xili has a bad vision. Don't make up your mind. Although Xili has a bad vision, how could he like You Xin?"

Su Bing agreed: "Yes."

Su Bing: "Transfer student! Transfer student!"

Gu Chaoming: "Why are you so excited? Transfer students can't run away."

Su Bing: "I just want to hear the romance between the transfer student and our Gu Shuai. The English class is getting boring. Tell me about it."

Gu Chaoming really envied Su Bing's English. He could still get so many points in the test without listening in class.

Gu Chaoming: "Qian Yuan is a shit, you use Qi Yuan for everything. I'm not a storyteller. I just saw him when he came out of the office, that's all."

When replying to Su Bing's typing, a group message suddenly popped up. After Gu Chaoming sent the message, he clicked into their "Lucky Three Treasures" group.

The name "Auspicious Three Treasures" came from Su Bing. Gu Chaoming and Cen Xili disliked it but were too lazy to change it, so they kept using this group name.

Su Bing first posted pictures of transfer students secretly taken by Gu Chaoming to the group, and then @cenxili introduced new classmates who didn't even know the names of the blind date to the seven aunts and eight aunts who were visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year.

"This is a photo of a new classmate in our class, so handsome! What's the point of You Sanjin, do you want Xili to do it?"

Although it was only a few minutes before the get out of class ended, Cen Xili must still be listening carefully. Gu Chaoming could imagine the expression on Cen Xili's face when he saw the group news after class.

Gu Chaoming replied to Su Bing in the group: "When did Su Xiaoma meet the blind date?"

Su Bing replied to him in a separate conversation: "Gu Shuai, you are breaking the stage again."

Gu Chaoming: "It's not like you don't know Xili's temperament, how can you give up You Xin so quickly, and how can you make the seals so mad?"

Su Bing: "Xili should make a new boyfriend and bring it to You Sanjin and Hai Gou to show Xiu Xiu and kill them."

Gu Chaoming: "It's a good idea, but it also depends on Xili himself."

Su Bing: "I don't see it. Xi Li is so long in love, and Wu Shan and the others say that he likes a man and loves the other. If Xili really sees one and loves the other, he can still be single until now? He already has ex-boyfriends all over the world. ."

"Didn't you meet someone and love someone? Aren't you single now? People with all kinds of romantic relationships are still single."

Gu Chaoming sent a message with the word "Qiyuan", and Su Bing replied that his message had not come yet, but the dean who had a romantic relationship with him came first.

The sound of the wig director's leather shoes stepping on the corridor is much heavier than the footsteps of the teenage cat.

As soon as Gu Chaoming heard the sound, he immediately put the phone back in his pocket. He had done this many times and was very skilled. Hiding the phone, Gu Chaoming stood up straight against the wall, picked up the Sudoku book and pretended to be a textbook, his eyes secretly slanted towards the sound, as if he had just heard them.

The dean still usually sees the serious expressions on their faces when they make mistakes. One corridor is empty, and Gu Chaoming is standing there alone, no matter what he does. Gu Chaoming knew that he must have been seen by the dean when he was playing with his mobile phone.

Gu Chaoming looked at the dean, and saw that the freshman who had just looked at him was quietly following behind the dean, and followed the dean across the corridor to him.

The dean of education stopped in front of Gu Chaoming, and the freshmen also stopped.

The eyes of the freshman crossed the dean in front of him and fell on Gu Chaoming, who was wearing a black baseball cap and was being trained by the dean.

Gu Chaoming could feel that he was looking at himself, the kind of people who came to a new environment and looked at people they didn't know in the new environment.

There is no hostility, just with some vigilance and temptation.

The boy's gaze was like a piece of cotton.

Cotton swept across Gu Chaoming's cheek, avoiding his eyes, and swept across his injured and cracked lips, and stayed there curiously for 0.1 second, then went down and quickly scanned Gu Chaoming from top to bottom.

He glanced at his casual attitude, the somewhat sloppy stance when he stood up straight when he heard the dean's nagging, and the Sudoku book pretending to be a textbook in his hand.

The boy's eyes finally stopped on the circular scar on the back of Gu Chaoming's left hand.

Noticing that the boy's gaze stayed on his hand, Gu Chaoming turned his hand away, not letting him see the scar on his hand.

In fact, it is very rude to glance at others like this, but the young man is quiet, and there is not a slight bit of disgust in his eyes. It is not a sight that is shot like a laser gun, which makes people feel very soft, as if judging whether you are trustworthy.

"You said how long ago did you stand here again?"

"Can you stop and do nothing?"

"You forgot what you said in the morning? And your hat, come to the school show."

"Can you be a little self-motivated, don't always think about playing? It's not easy for your mother to get you into the second class, so you just repay her like this? Old Chen also said that you are a good seedling, no matter how good the seedling is, it will not germinate on its own. , it is useless for anyone to water."

The dean of teaching taught Gu Chaoming a lesson in non-standard Mandarin sentence by sentence. Although Gu Chaoming sounded annoyed, he had to admit that what the dean said was true and made some sense.

Gu Chaoming listened and raised his hand to straighten his hat again. He did not know how many times to repeat this action every day.

The dean said, and said to the young man who had listened to the dean's training before he entered the class: "See Fan, he is just a stab in this class, you must not imitate him."

The young man stood behind the dean and did not respond, neither nodded nor shook his head, but only raised his eyes to look at Gu Chaoming.

It was the first time that Gu Chaoming heard the name of the young man. He was stunned by the non-standard Mandarin of the dean.

When the get out of class bell rang, the dean of education let Gu Chaoming go. He wanted to bring the freshman into the classroom and waved his hand to let Gu Chaoming in.

Gu Chaoming walked into the classroom from the closer back door with his mobile phone. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Bing looking back at the back door. Gu Chaoming waved and responded to him.

The dean at the front door of the classroom walked in with the freshman.

Old Chen admitted yesterday that he would come to new classmates. The classmates in the class were already mentally prepared, but he didn't expect the new transfer students to be so handsome. When the freshman stood on the podium, there were girls secretly talking about it, and Gu Chaoming heard them say, "You are so handsome."

The dean coughed and quieted the restless class because of the transfer students.

He beckoned the teenager who was standing beside him to come over, the teenager walked over, and the dean took him on his shoulder: "This is a classmate who has newly transferred to our school, and will be a part of the second and second class of high school in the future."

The dean paused for a second, seeming to be confused about what to say next. Su Bing waved his hand with great discernment and said enthusiastically, "Welcome, welcome."

The dean was very satisfied with Su Bing's timely rescue. He turned his head and said to the freshman, "Come on, introduce yourself and let the students know you."

Su Bing also clapped, Cen Xili smiled slightly and looked at the stage and clapped as well. Both of them started clapping, and Gu Chaoming also clapped a few times.

There were also other students in the class who welcomed the new classmates, but there was no tacit understanding, the applause was not neat at all, there was no rhythm, and it seemed a little sparse.

The boy stood in front of the podium, and that was the first time Gu Chaoming heard the boy's name clearly.

In the recess after the first class that day, after a sparse applause, in the early morning that was followed by the penalty stand, Gu Chaoming heard the boy pronounce his name in his pleasant voice.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Jianfan."
