The large mirror covering the entire wall on the sink reflects the figures of the two teenagers.

In the same school uniform, one teenager looked curiously at the other. There were drops of water dripping on the boy's face, and a little bit of moisture appeared on the collar and chest of the school uniform.

Lin Jianfan looked at Gu Chaoming who was parked in front of him, and for a moment he forgot to reach out and wipe off the remaining water droplets on his face. The water droplets ran along the bridge of the nose, cheeks, lips, condensed on the chin, and fell into a drop into the collar of the school uniform. .

Gu Chaoming watched the water drops fall into Lin Jianfan's collar, his eyes moved from the collar to the top of Lin Jianfan's face with more water drops.

Gu Chaoming's eyes were not intentionally hidden, and the movement of his eyes showed the trajectory of his eyes.

Being stared at by him like this, Lin Jianfan couldn't help but lowered his nod to look at his wet collar, and then followed Gu Chaoming's line of sight to look at the other's face.

The two used one second of their lives to complete the process of looking at each other. Gu Chaoming always felt that Lin Jianfan was somewhat familiar, and the chasing eyes just now reminded him of the yellow-flowered boy he met after school yesterday.

Gu Chaoming asked with curious eyes and a questioning tone: Are you hot? "

There is no sunlight in the toilet, and the windows are not set in the sunny place. The men's toilet always smells of dampness.

Gu Chaoming had just smoked in the toilet cubicle by himself, but Su Bing still didn't come after he finished smoking a cigarette. Gu Chaoming beckoned to disperse the smell of smoke in the compartment, thinking that he should not smell it before walking out of the toilet compartment.

As soon as he came out, he saw Lin Jianfan pouring water on him with his hands.

He did that too, on that bleak moonlit night, because he had a dream of killing Gu Tao. Looking at the broken vanity mirror on the washbasin at home every morning, Gu Chaoming could recall that night, the dream in that night.

It was because of that dream, what was Lin Jianfan for

In short, it couldn't be because of his sinful reason, Gu Chaoming said one that he thought was the most common.

"Do you feel warm?"

Lin Jianfan blinked and nodded slowly: "I'm not very heat-resistant."

"It's enough to carry the cold in winter. In summer, the most hot spot is heat stroke. In winter, it's wrapped in a zongzi, and frostbite is not good." Gu Chaoming said casually.

Gu Chaoming had never had frostbite, but remembered that his junior high school classmate had frostbite every winter, his hands were swollen like carrots, and even cracked and bleeds in severe cases. Gu Chaoming felt pain when he looked at it, but he said, "It's itchy, not painful."

Lin Jianfan glanced at Gu Chaoming: "Then I probably won't bear the cold, I'm afraid of the cold." He paused, "I'll get frostbite too."

"You also have frostbite?"

Lin Jianfan and Gu Chaoming seemed very surprised that he would have frostbite.

"You also have frostbite?" Lin Jianfan heard the word "also" in Gu Chaoming's words, and threw the question back to Gu Chaoming.

Gu Chaoming shook his head: "I haven't given birth before. I have given birth at the same table before. How long have you had frostbite? He was born every year in the past, and now he is well. You can ask him how he is doing well."

"It's been a year since I was born," said Lin Jianfan, "I have no experience, so I don't know if it will recur this year."

Gu Chaoming was amused by him: "Who would use the word experience to describe frostbite?"

The two teenagers were discussing how to prevent frostbite in winter in the hot summer, and the place of discussion was the toilet.

Gu Chaoming looked at Lin Jianfan who was in front of him and felt that he was somewhat similar to yesterday's Yellow Flower Boy.

Gu Chaoming is not very good at remembering faces, not to mention the fact that yesterday the yellow-flowered youth was masked with only two eyes left, and he was covered with black-rimmed glasses.

In Gu Chaoming's memory, the yellow-flowered youth only had vague colors.

The white baseball cap on his head, the white T-shirt on his body, the most impressive thing was the little yellow flower on his hand.

Gu Chaoming put on Lin Jianfan's hat from his memory and the white T-shirt of the Yellow Flower Boy, but he still couldn't tell the difference.

Gu Chaoming simply asked Lin Jianfan directly: "Did you come to school yesterday?"

After finishing speaking, he added: "When school is over."

When Lin saw Fan Wenyan looking at him, he was stunned and replied, "No, it's my first time here today, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just met someone yesterday, who is very similar to you."

"Oh." Lin Jianfan responded, "That's not me, you've identified the wrong person. Don't you wash your hands?"

Gu Chaoming came out of the toilet cubicle and kept chatting with him by the sink. Lin saw that Fan Yi said, and he turned on the faucet.

The water flow continued to wash over Gu Chaoming's palm. Gu Chaoming's fingers are not as slender as Lin Jianfan's fingers. He often does housework, and there are traces of labor on his fingers.

The wounds on the knuckles of the fingers appeared and disappeared in Lin Jianfan's sight. In the water, Gu Chaoming washed his hands, not giving him a chance to see clearly.

"Are your fingers injured?" Lin Jianfan asked.

Speaking of the wound on his hand, Gu Chaoming turned his head to look at Lin Jianfan, he didn't want his wound to appear too special.

After washing his hands, Gu Chaoming turned off the faucet, shook off the water droplets on his hands, bent his fingers, made a slight fist, pointed at the wound on his fingers and asked, "This?"

Lin Jianfan nodded.

Gu Chaoming smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just hurt."

Vague statements, no reason, obvious avoidance.

Now the wound doesn't hurt, and there is no feeling at all, although there is an empty piece in the wound and a piece of finger flesh is missing.

Gu Chaoming didn't say anything, but Lin Jianfan was very discerning and didn't continue to ask.

The scars on the knuckles of the fingers, the scars on the back of the hands, the scars on the lips, there are only three places that can be seen, and there are wounds on the shoulders.

There are four scars on the body of a young man.

Lin Jianfan was puzzled, but he also knew that he should not ask.

"Wash your face when you come? Don't go to the toilet? Class is about to begin." Gu Chaoming pointed to the toilet behind to remind him.

Lin Jianfan shook his head: "I have a cold, and I just came to the toilet because I felt sick. Maybe it's not a cold, but it's hot, just pour some water."

A cold in the summer

The scene of groggy, hot and weak, lying on the table and sleeping lazily flashed in Gu Chaoming's mind, along with Su Bing's "squeamishness" of transfer students yesterday, Gu Chaoming thought of Cen Xili's words The sick that can't sit by the window.

A lot of flashes flashed in his head, Gu Chaoming only said: "It's really hard to catch a cold in summer."

"En." Lin Jianfan responded.

Gu Chaoming was walking beside Lin Jianfan, and the bell rang when he walked out of the toilet.

Gu Chaoming coughed and said his own question: "Well, why did you apologize to me just now? It's obviously me who yelled at you."

"Because I photographed you first and photographed your injury, it's my fault." Lin Jianfan said.

"That's it?... Well, I didn't mean to yell at you, it just hurts a bit."

It's not that it hurts a bit, it's the pain that rushes into his head and makes him scold directly.

Gu Chaoming couldn't agree with Lin Jianfan's brain circuit. If he was murdered by others, he would definitely not think about apologizing first.

Gu Chaoming thought about it, but when he turned his head, he saw that Lin Jianfan, who was beside him, seemed to be in a good mood.

Gu Chaoming noticed that Lin Jianfan first hooked the corner of his mouth secretly and very slightly. Lin Jianfan's smile can make people feel cool on a hot summer day, like an ice-cold soda out of the refrigerator, or the kind with bubbling bubbles.

"fine."

"Gu Shuai!"

The two voices sounded at the same time, and Lin Jianfan's statement that it was okay was completely overshadowed by Su Bing's wave.

Su Bing, who had never seen anyone, ran over from the other side of the corridor.

"I also wanted to talk about going to the toilet to find you." Su Bing ran to Gu Chaoming and glanced at Lin Jianfan beside Gu Chaoming.

"I'm still looking for a fart, the preparation bell is ringing, why don't you come to get out of class? What about you after class?"

Su Bing put on Gu Chaoming's shoulder: "I have nothing to do."

"Gu Chaoming, Su Bing."

Old Chen's voice came faintly behind him, and the smile on Su Bing's face instantly stiffened.

Old Chen is too scary, when did he walk behind them

The three turned their heads and saw Old Chen holding a textbook, obviously going to class.

The moment he heard Lao Chen's voice, Su Bing's heart was shouted by Lao Chen, and he couldn't help touching his pocket, quietly stuffing the contents of his pocket into it.

"The preparatory bell has been rang, and he is still wandering outside, and he is bringing new classmates." Lao Chen walked up to them.

Su Bing adapts accordingly: "We bring new students to get acquainted with the campus and feel the beautiful air of the campus."

"Young poor." Lao Chen interrupted him.

Old Chen saw that Su Bing and Gu Chaoming had something in the pockets of their school uniforms, and Su Bing stretched his hand straight into the pocket.

Lao Chen has also been their head teacher for more than a year, and he can see through them as soon as they think about it.

Old Chen stood in front of them with his hands behind his back and smiled: "Just got out of the toilet? Are you still bringing your new classmates?"

Gu Chaoming glanced at Lin Jianfan beside him, and told Lao Chen the truth: "It was purely a chance encounter in the toilet."

"You go back to class first." Old Chen tilted his head and said to the quiet Lin Jianfan.

Su Bing also wanted to go: "Brother Chen, I still want to study, I can't wait, let us go."

"Think beautifully."

Gu Chaoming snickered at Su Bing, and out of the corner of the eye was involved in the silent and quiet atmosphere around him, and Lin Jianfan, who was quiet in the corner of his vision, raised his head, moved his eyelashes, and looked at him.

What's wrong? not leaving yet

Gu Chaoming gave Lin Jianfan a quick look, but Lin Jianfan caught his gaze, but he didn't leave, but stood there and looked at him.

The expression on Lin Jianfan's face was a password, which Gu Chaoming couldn't solve due to his limited quotient.

Seeing that he was still looking at him without leaving, Gu Chaoming had no choice but to quietly raise his hand and push him from behind. Lin Jianfan only turned his head three times and walked towards the classroom.

After Lin Jianfan left, Lao Chen tapped on the pockets of the two school uniforms and trousers left behind with his textbook, and reached out to take out a pack of half-smoked cigarettes from Gu Chaoming's pocket.

The last few people in the corridor also walked into the classroom. Teachers came out of the office one after another. When they saw the cigarette in Lao Chen's hand, they looked at these two familiar faces, not surprised at all, and asked with a smile, "Is there another cigarette? "

Old Chen took the cigarette he received from Gu Chaoming, put it in the other hand holding the lesson plan, and freed his hand to search Su Bing's pocket.

Su Bing was still struggling: "Brother Chen, there's really nothing left. I just came here, and Gu Chaoming and I also met by chance, in the corridor."

"Meet in the hallway?" Old Chen laughed, "I met you in the hallway today, and we'll meet in the toilet tomorrow, right?"

Old Chen opened Su Bing's hand that was desperately clutching his pocket: "I tell you, I have said you two so many times, and I can't control it. Don't bring bad new students. With such good grades, you... Hey, so much."

Old Chen searched Su Bing's pocket, but he was startled if he didn't know.

One pack, two packs, three packs.

"Your pocket is quite capable of stuffing, three packs," Lao Chen expanded the three packs of cigarettes in his hand into a pile, grasped it with one hand, and looked at the brand, "I don't smoke such expensive cigarettes."

Su Bing just wanted to help his forehead, he just got it!

Three packs of cigarettes and Gu Chaoming's half pack were confiscated at once, and the harvest was quite fruitful.

"You two really finished one wave after another. Don't be an old smoker at a young age, and your body will be exhausted later." Lao Chen also persuaded them. I can't count the number of times this is the first time I have said this.

Su Bing sent away his three packs of cigarettes in grief.

Lao Chen walked a short distance with three packs of cigarettes and turned back to them and said, "You both know where the Academic Affairs Office is, right? I took Lin Jianfan to pick up the book at noon, and it's up to you two. ."

After speaking, Lao Chen seemed uneasy about the two of them bringing new classmates. He walked up to them and said softly to them, "Let me lead someone to get the book, and don't do anything."

Su Bing and Gu Chaoming had to nod.

"Where did you get so much smoke?" Gu Chaoming asked Su Bing after Lao Chen left.

"That's what I just said. I just got it, and before I told you, it was taken by Old Chen." Su Bing showed expressionless despair.

Only the two of them were left in the empty corridor of the teaching building. The two of them dawdled in the corridor with each other. The teacher of the class did not know when to go behind and reminded: "The class is over, and I won't enter the classroom."

"Just go in, just go in." Su Bing turned around and glanced at the teacher who responded casually.

The two then quickened their pace a little and walked into the classroom together through the back door.

Su Bing walked in front and yawned so sleepily when he stepped into the classroom door. Raising his hand to cover his mouth, the tired yawn still leaked from his fingers and flowed into the ears of Lin Jianfan who was sitting by the back door.

Seeing that Fan was let go by Old Chen, Lin took a few steps back to the classroom. As soon as he returned to his seat, Cen Xili turned around and asked him with concern, "Are you alright?"

Lin Jianfan pursed his lips and smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, thank you."

For some reason, Cen Xili felt that Lin was very happy after seeing Fan using the toilet? Is it his delusion

It's a bit strange, transfer student, Cen Xili looked at Lin Jianfan who was smiling.

Su Bing also thought the same when he walked into the classroom a few minutes later. Su Bing finished yawning, but before he put his hands down, he accidentally glanced at Lin Jianfan who was sitting at the back door.

Lin Jianfan was looking at him, Su Bing couldn't tell the expression on Lin Jianfan's face, the corner of his mouth seemed to have a shallow smile.

Su Bing just walked past him, not understanding why Lin Jianfan looked at him like this.

Weird transfer student.

The trio of high school sophomore and second class got a unified answer by coincidence.
