Chapter 101

Views:

Separation, this world is going on all year round, all the time, but at school, summer is a fixed season of separation.

In summer, the cicadas chirping, the graduates leave, the sun is scorching hot, and the freshmen enter the school. After experiencing the mighty college entrance examination every year and a leisurely summer vacation, the school is still the same school. What remains unchanged is the youthful vitality of the campus.

In that summer when they were bound to be separated, Su Bing saw his only senior sister who didn't dare to tease him for the last time at school.

The tree-lined avenues of the school were swirling, and the ponytail of the senior sister fluttered in the swirling tree shadows. That was the scene that Su Bing always recalled during the intense preparation for the college entrance examination in the third year of high school. The fluttering ponytail caught him off guard even more than Lei Ming. There was a lightning warning before Lei Ming, and the senior sister's final departure always forced him to insert at no time or place, leaving him defenseless.

Recalling Senior Sister unpreparedly, Su Bing never spoke to others, even though it was to Gu Chaoming and Cen Xili.

The young man was arrogant. A person who used to deal with emotions easily and stopped losses in time, now asking him to suddenly express his thoughts about a person seems to lose face and break his uninhibited and indulgent personality.

The young Su Bing was always smiling and making jokes, and he secretly missed another person by himself.

When Su Bing grew up, he knew that liking someone was not a difficult thing to say.

But that will have to wait until later, and now Su Bing still looks like a teenager's hippie smile.

Senior sister stopped him later, it was an unexpected gift, a small surprise gift for shopping.

The young Su Bing thought that no one saw his loss of senior sister's departure, but he didn't know that Gu Chaoming knew he was sincere when he took him upstairs and saw the expression on his face when he turned his head to say hello to senior sister. .

In the past, when Su Bing broke up, he never blinked, never betrayed, and his words would come to him in a lifetime, but now he doesn't even dare to say a word.

Su Bing is the most caring little mother among their "lucky three treasures". Gu Chaoming didn't pass the exam and asked him to have supper together to help him adjust his mood, and he also excused that he was hungry. Cen Xili was so harassed by rumors that he dared not speak to them, and Su Bing "scolded Cen Xili, who dared not speak to them, to wake up". Cen Xili was provoked by Chen Haiyang, and Su Bing started without a word.

Su Bing really cares about them like a mother who loves her children. When he saw Su Bing and his senior sister separated in the school boulevard, Gu Chaoming felt that he, a neurotic person, had to do something for the lost Su Bing.

Is Su Bing this kind of brokenhearted? Or is it a crush failure? Is it over before it started? The more Gu Chaoming thought about it, the more miserable it became. He doesn't have a way to comfort people like Su Bing, but he knows that directly persuading Su Bing not to lose will only make Su Bing, who pretends to be okay, pretend to be okay.

After secretly discussing with Lin Jianfan and Cen Xili, the three decided to ask Su Bing to go to KTV to sing just like the last time Su Bing asked them out for supper to relieve Gu Chaoming's troubles.

Su Bing looks carefree, but he is actually careful. Su Bing will definitely be suspicious when he suddenly asks him out at such a special time.

How not to make Su Bing suspicious, Gu Chaoming thought hard, saw the key to his new home, and thought of the reason for asking Su Bing.

"It's just to celebrate that my dad hasn't come to see me for so long." Gu Chaoming, who was still thinking of the reason in class, said quietly to Cen Xili, who was listening to the lecture.

"Okay." Cen Xili nodded in agreement. After nodding, he turned to look at Gu Chaoming, who was happy because he thought about the reason for asking Su Bing. Cen Xili asked earnestly, "Your father hasn't come to see you for so long? Don't lie. Don't lie to us."

Cen Xili looked into Gu Chaoming's eyes and did not allow Gu Chaoming to lie. It was strange and unconvincing that Gu Tao had not come to him for so long. Cen Xili was worried about Gu Chaoming's temperament, so he didn't say anything in order not to worry them. Gu Chaoming did not do such a thing.

"What did I lie to you for? My dad didn't come to see me. If I lied, I wouldn't be able to get into college, okay." Gu Chaoming said with a swearing gesture.

It's a big oath to fail the university entrance exam.

Gu Chaoming made such a big oath, Cen Xili had to believe it. Cen Xili covered Gu Chaoming's mouth: "What are you talking about, don't say such things, I believe you can't do it."

Gu Chaoming smiled: "You are still so superstitious."

The teacher who was lecturing on the podium deliberately coughed to remind the two chatting behind.

When he swore that "if you lie, you won't be admitted to university", Gu Chaoming's heart still trembled. He was afraid that he really wouldn't be able to go to university, because he obviously didn't lie.

He really wanted to go to university. University was the capital for him to escape from Gu Tao, and the first step for him to escape from Gu Tao.

But now Gu Tao doesn't come to him, as if the world has evaporated, and suddenly disappears from his world. It seems that he doesn't need to work hard to get into the university and complete the first step of escaping, so he can live in a world without Gu Tao.

This was much faster than he thought, so that Gu Chaoming often felt that the current stable life was unreal, and often felt that this dream was very long.

Whether Gu Tao appeared or not, Gu Chaoming never stopped learning. Gu Chaoming felt that the university entrance examination was necessary, the top priority, and the most important thing for him now. Not only because he wanted to escape from Gu Tao, but because he realized the importance of university to him, and realized the gap between himself and Lin Jianfan in terms of brain and knowledge.

He didn't want to cause misunderstanding between them because of the gap in knowledge, vision, or other factors that can be worked hard and controllable, or even lead to a breakup. Gu Chaoming didn't want such a thing to happen between him and Lin Jianfan.

Gu Chaoming didn't want to, nor did he allow it.

Gu Chaoming is the type with sullen hair and ruthless hair. He keeps his head down and studies silently all day long and does not publicize the results of his efforts to others, and he is not proud when others praise him. This is undoubtedly his advantage, but Gu Chaoming's disadvantage is also obvious - his mind is fragile, one tendon, easily affected by things and even controlling his emotions.

Just like he is easy to get angry because of a little thing, easy to panic and doubt himself because of the decline in grades.

The closer he got to the third year of high school, the more Gu Chaoming was afraid of the fluctuation of his grades, and the more afraid of failing in the college entrance examination.

Fortunately, the recent results did not make him need to reflect and calm down. Gu Chaoming's recent results were very flat. He was about to become a preparation candidate for the third year of high school. Lao Chen talked to him and said that he would continue to work hard to advance to the third year of high school with this stable grade.

Old Chen also asked him which university he wanted to go to. Back then, in the winter, Su Bing and Su Bing agreed to take the same university entrance exam with Cen Xi. He never thought about the difference between the aspirations of several people and the major they wanted to choose.

They also discussed which university to take the exam together. Gu Chaoming also wanted to take the exam that was closer to Lin Jianfan, but he didn't know where Lin Jianfan wanted to take the exam, and Lin Jianfan didn't say anything. After discussing with Su Bing and Cen Xili, they did not reach a result. When Lao Chen asked which university he wanted to go to, Gu Chaoming was speechless for a while.

Which university do you go to

Obviously a year ago, he was still living in a daze, hanging around all day and waiting to die. In the blink of an eye, it was time to think about which university to go to.

It is very difficult to choose a school that both Su Bing and Cen Xili agree with, and that must be closer to Lin Jianfan.

Walking out of the office, the atmosphere of graduating from the third year of high school drifted throughout the school. The question of Lao Chen asking which university he wanted to study for and the breath of separation from the senior year wafted in his ears.

Finally, his first step to escape from Gu Tao—the third year of high school is coming.

Gu Tao didn't come to him for a long time, and Gu Chaoming spent a long time in worry and unreality. Asking Su Bing to go to KTV to help him resolve the loss of his senior sister's graduation. In fact, Gu Chaoming also has a little selfishness, and he regards this party as a celebration of his escape from Gu Tao's party.

You don't need to tell others, you toast to escape Gu Tao by yourself.

Under the KTV light, the four glass bottles collided, and the glass bottle neck and the glass bottle neck collided with a crisp sound.

Three bottles of beer and one drink, Gu Chaoming did not allow Lin Jianfan to drink beer. Gu Chaoming never dared to let Lin Jianfan drink alcohol after the last time he was drunk and turned into a child. He also didn't want to send the drunk Lin Jianfan home to see his future mother-in-law again, then he really became the one who brought bad Lin Jianfan.

"Cheers to our Shuai Gu for his freedom!"

Su Bing was always the most active speaker at the party, and he was the one who cheered and shouted slogans every time.

The other three knew the reason for the party, and Gu Chaoming used his tongue to change the subject.

"What does it mean to be free? I have always been free. It should be said that you are the most free when you are single."

"Xili is also single." Su Bing said.

Gu Chaoming didn't know if Su Bing noticed it. Anyway, Cen Xili followed Su Bing's words with great discernment this time: "Then I wish our singles a happy single. If you have a boyfriend, please don't clink with us."

Gu Chaoming secretly praised Cen Xili for his cooperation. Cen Xili took the bottle and approached Su Bing to clink glasses with Su Bing.

The wine bottle collided with the wine bottle, and Gu Chaoming pretended to be booing: "You two sow discord!"

Su Bing snorted: "Who told you two to have a boyfriend, sticky and greasy in front of me and Xi Li all day, can't stand it!"

Su Bing looked angry and turned to ask Cen Xili, who had just clink glasses with him: "You say yes, Xili."

Cen Xili nodded cooperatively, and Su Bing turned his head to Gu Chaoming and said, "This kind of behavior of the two of you deeply hurts the weak hearts of single dogs."

The sweet love songs in KTV sounded at the scene, it seemed that it was God's will, Su Bing couldn't help but swear: "I want to kill me today, but also cut love songs."

Gradually entering the main topic of the party, Gu Chaoming walked over to Su Bing and sat down and started his blunt persuasion: "How could it kill you, isn't the senior sister going to graduate, and it's not with others, you can still chase after Ah, aren't you our love Saint Su?"

"What a lover, I don't even dare to say a word to my senior." Su Bing rolled his eyes inwardly.

Gu Chaoming can only speak when he and Su Bing are bickering, so it's really not good to comfort people. Su Bing didn't speak, and Gu Chaoming continued: "I just took a graduation photo today, I haven't taken the college entrance examination yet, so it's not that I won't be able to see you in the future..."

Gu Chaoming, who persuaded Su Bing, did not have the ability to understand the future, nor did Su Bing, who was persuaded. Everyone in KTV didn't know that the time when senior sister stopped Su Bing on the side of the playground was the last time in their lives.

The world is vast and the world is vast. There are always some people who suddenly appear and disappear suddenly in youth, neither hello nor goodbye.

Su Bing didn't know why he didn't meet his senior sister again.

At this time, Su Bing didn't know that he would never see his senior sister again. He interrupted Gu Chaoming's persuasion and picked up the microphone on the table. A seventeen-year-old boy sang the song alone, not sad, but happy. 's love song.

Su Bing doesn't match that sweet song very well. If Mute only looked at Su Bing's face, he would never have imagined that he was singing a love song.

When others are brokenhearted and sad, they sing intense songs to relieve their emotions, or sing sad breakup songs to express their sadness, while Su Bing sang a love song that happened to be played when he was laughing at himself as a single dog.

Not intense or sad, like Su Bing's secret love for senior sister that ended before it even started.

Gu Chaoming sat next to Su Bing and looked at Su Bing's profile. The lights in the KTV were dim, Gu Chaoming didn't speak any more, he just looked at Su Bing like that.

The sudden singing attracted the attention of Cen Xili and Lin Jianfan, who looked at Su Bing, who was singing, and pretended that nothing happened.

After singing, Su Bing has not changed from the usual one. He is still the most active one at a gathering of several people. After singing the love song, he used the microphone as a Maiba, and forced Gu Chaoming to sing along, but it happened to be another love song.

Gu Chaoming had already taken the microphone and was about to sing. Su Bing saw that it was a love song, and grabbed Gu Chaoming's microphone: "I won't sing it with you, but I want to sing it with your family to see Fan."

The microphone in his hand was snatched away, Gu Chaoming smiled, watching Su Bing throw the microphone to Cen Xili, Cen Xili was forced to pick up the microphone and sing with Su Bing.

Every love song was ordered by Gu Chaoming, who was sitting next to the karaoke machine, who wanted to "fight poison with poison" for Su Bing. Su Bing sang most of the time, and forced Cen Xili to sing duet.

The two in front were singing to the KTV screen, and Cen Xili worked hard to cooperate with Su Bing. Gu Chaoming no longer sat next to the karaoke machine, but took Lin Jianfan to a small corner.

To be able to secretly have a small two-person world in a party of four.

Gu Chaoming leaned on Lin Jianfan's shoulder, Lin Jianfan's hand naturally fell between his legs, the intimate gesture of leaning on the shoulders between them was not uncommon, Gu Chaoming leaned on Lin Jianfan's shoulder, Lin Jianfan only tilted his head to look at a glance.

Gu Chaoming stretched out the beer bottle and touched the glass bottle in Lin Jianfan's hand, smiled and said, "Cheers to our classmate Jianfan, who can only drink drinks."

Lin Jianfan can be self-willed enough in front of Gu Chaoming, and he doesn't have to be as restrained as in front of others. In front of Gu Chaoming, he was in the most relaxed state. Lin saw that Fan listened to Gu Chaoming's teasing that he couldn't drink, and lightly kicked Gu Chaoming.

Gu Chaoming smiled dotingly on Fan's shoulder in Lin Jian, and looked at Su Bing who was singing with Cen Xili in front of his eyes: "You see Su Bing's love is so sad before it starts. If you break up with me, then I will..."

Lin Jianfan slightly tilted his head to look at Gu Chaoming, who was leaning on his shoulders, and stopped Gu Chaoming's words behind him: "Don't talk nonsense."

Gu Chaoming turned sideways, his hair rubbed against Lin Jianfan's neck, and reached out to hug Lin Jianfan's waist.

Quietly, like a kitten stealing fishy food.

As if to leave a mark, Gu Chaoming raised his head and leaned up, kissed Lin Jianfan's earlobe, and was beaten down by Lin Jianfan.

Gu Chaoming leaned back on Lin Jianfan's shoulder and said to Lin Jianfan, "Old Chen asked me a few days ago where I wanted to take the exam."

"What do you say?" Lin Jianfan looked at him and asked.

"I did not say."

"Why? Don't you want to go to a university with them?"

"They haven't figured it out yet."

Lin Jianfan was silent, and Su Bing, who was singing in front of him, suddenly stopped singing. He turned around and pointed at the two people who were quietly in love in the corner and said, "I heard both of you, and said that we are sowing discord, you two. The two set up a small group by themselves, excluding our single dogs."

Gu Chaoming leaned on Lin Jianfan's shoulder and didn't bother to get up, so he smiled at Su Bing.

"Smile, are you happy to abuse the dog?"

Su Bing's voice spread throughout the box through the microphone.

Gu Chaoming got up with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Not happy, not happy, not happy at all."

Su Bing coughed as if he was going to talk about something important. He didn't intend to see the two of them secretly next to each other. When the interlude wasn't singing, he heard a little about them talking about college. Su Bing stood at the table holding the microphone. , and said to the two people in the corner discussing the university: "Gu Shuai, since you want to be with Jianfan, you can also go ahead and take the test to see if you can get into the same university as Jianfan."

The party suddenly talked about life events.

"It's agreed to be with you." Gu Chaoming said.

"Don't be so serious," Su Bing said. "Go for freedom if you want, we'll be fine."

"Pursuit of freedom, my dad didn't come to me, I already have freedom, and..." Gu Chaoming looked at Lin Jianfan next to him, grabbed Lin Jianfan's hand, and showed a sinister smile, "And we are already in Together, there is no need to pursue."

Su Bing couldn't stand Gu Chaoming, he held the microphone and covered his eyes: "God, I'm going to be blind."

After letting go of his hand, Su Bing said again: "You two must give me a long life together! A hundred years together! You must give me to the end! I, Su Bing, bless you!"

Su Bing's tone is exaggerated, you give Lao Tzu a good time together, always together, with Lao Tzu and Fu Xuejie's share.

We missed it, you can't.

Su Bing seemed to be shocked because his senior sister was about to leave, and began to express his feelings to his brothers.

After instructing Gu Chaoming and Lin Jianfan, Su Bing turned to Cen Xili and said to Cen Xili, "Xili, a tree with a crooked neck is a tree with a crooked neck, and no matter how tall it grows, it is a tree with a crooked neck. tree."

Cen Xili looked at Su Bing and didn't answer. He knew that Su Bing was for his own good, and he wanted to be good for himself, but he didn't seem to be able to do it.

Su Bing added: "If it wasn't for me being gay, I would have been chasing you long ago. Even if they say your boyfriend is tens of millions, I will chase you. You don't want to be so good. It's his loss, You Sanjin."

"Loss loss," Cen Xili saw that Su Bing was excited about You Xin, and hurried over to comfort him, "It's his loss."

"Okay, Xili still has a junior." Gu Chaoming was not sure about Cen Xili's attitude towards Guan Hui and tried it out.

As soon as the words came out, Cen Xili refuted: "Why did you get involved with him?"

Gu Chaoming lamented for his junior, junior, you better not like you, senior Cen, otherwise you will suffer.

Cen Xili said, "Why did you get involved with him?", indicating that Cen Xili didn't think about Guan Hui there at all.

None of the people present knew that Guan Hui was still foolishly abiding by his "how to become calm" code.

Cen Xili comforted the excited Su Bing and sat down. After Gu Chaoming finished drinking the beer in his hand, he planned to get another bottle. Lin Jianfan stopped him: "Don't drink it."

On the other side, Su Bing, who was comforted by Cen Xili, got excited again: "So early in the "wife control", Xili and I will not dare to ask you for a drink in the future, for fear that you will be scolded by Fan when you go home."

Although they already knew each other, in front of Su Bing and Cen Xili, Lin Jianfan did not let go in front of Gu Chaoming. Lin Jianfan was embarrassed by Su Bing. Gu Chaoming protected the shy Lin Jianfan and smiled at Su Bing. Said: "You talk more."

That night, when Gu Chaoming heard what Lin Jianfan said, he didn't drink any more, he only drank a small bottle, but Lin Jianfan felt as if he was drunk in the car on the way home.

Gu Chaoming assured that he was not drunk, he was just happy, what was he happy about, and why was he so happy? Gu Chaoming didn't know, he only knew that he got into the car with Lin Jianfan, and felt that he was happier tonight than ever before.

Maybe it is because he is happy to escape from Gu Tao's life, maybe because he is happy that Su Bing is no longer lost, maybe because he is happy that Su Bing wishes him and Lin Jianfan's words...

The car window was opened by Gu Chaoming, and the wind was strong, blowing Gu Chaoming's hair, and blowing Gu Chaoming's good mood.

Lin Jianfan looked at Gu Chaoming, who was so happy as if he was drunk. Gu Chaoming also looked at him, and behind Lin Jianfan was the changing lights of thousands of houses outside the car window.

Maybe it was because I was happy that I had a home. Gu Chaoming looked at Lin Jianfan and thought, there was a strict wife named Lin Jianfan at home.

See Fan, I have a home.

Gu Chaoming looked at Lin Jianfan and smiled, but there were hidden tears behind his eyes. Gu Chaoming did not allow them to appear. Gu Chaoming looked at Lin Jianfan while crying or laughing.

The glass windows behind Lin Jianfan couldn't hold back the sparks outside the car window. They were only willing to stay for a while, then turned away from the car window and returned to the dark night, emitting their light.

Lin Jianfan's smile was always here, as warm as the first-born sun, the starlight outside the window and the light and shadow on the car window that only stayed for a moment were not as bright as his.

Gu Chaoming leaned over Lin Jianfan's shoulder, held his hand and said, "I'm so happy."

Maybe it was Gu Chaoming who had been drinking, and the little bit of alcohol left behind was causing trouble. Just smelling it, Lin Jianfan was also drunk, and Lin Jianfan nodded and kissed Gu Chaoming's forehead.

Tonight, only Gu Chaoming raised a glass for his new home, but he was still happy because Lin Jianfan gave him a kiss and a home.
