Chapter 15

Gu Chaoming walked behind Su Bing. He didn't detour from the aisle beside Lin Jianfan's table, but went straight to Cen Xili and sat back to his seat.

Cen Xili was looking for something, the back of his head covered with soft hair swayed and looked in the drawer. Seeing that Cen Xili and Gu Chaoming remembered You Xin's arrogant self-conscious look on the way to the toilet, the anger that had subsided suddenly rose again.

He and Su Bing were always more annoyed by this kind of thing than Cen Xili, who had endured everything.

In his heart, he probably guessed why Cen Xili wanted to hide, but Gu Chaoming did not go to mention You Xin again.

He didn't mention anything, just patted the back of Cen Xili's head with his palm when he returned to his position. Cen Xili was wronged by You Xin, and Gu Chaoming's voice was subconsciously soft: "The hair is too long, so I need to cut it."

Part of the shredded hair ends on the collar of Cen Xili's school uniform, and part of it is hidden in the collar.

As soon as Gu Chaoming said it, Cen Xili raised his hand to touch his hair, and his fingers unintentionally touched the ends of the hair that were too long: "It's a little long."

Obviously there was no chance for him to interject, and the conversation between the two had no place for him. He only played the role of a single person at the back table, but Lin Jianfan's ears kept following the conversation between the two in front of him. Light didn't let go of the two people in front of them who were just chatting casually.

Like a voyeur who carefully tries to be unobtrusive.

The math teacher on the stage took the test paper to comment, and Gu Chaoming took out the math textbook from the piles of books on the table.

This class was about the test papers that were distributed yesterday. Gu Chaoming remembered that he seemed to put the test papers in the textbook yesterday.

Opened the math book, and the test paper was inside. He took out the squared test papers from the textbook. The math teacher on the stage was praising the students with good grades. Anyway, Gu Chaoming didn't care.

Hearing the praised good student, the words of Lao Chen flashed in Gu Chaoming's mind.

"Don't bring bad new students, their grades are so good..."

Before Lao Chen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Su Bing's three packs of cigarettes.

Gu Chaoming looked at the paper he just took out in his hand. He didn't listen anyway, so he might as well use it for the good new student that Old Chen said behind.

Turning slightly sideways, Gu Chaoming turned his hand and handed the test paper to Lin Jianfan: "Here it is."

When he turned around, Gu Chaoming remembered his two-digit score and the words on the test paper that were rushing out of time. When his word is ugly, he can draw talismans to catch zombies.

What would Lin Jianfan think of this good student

Well, unsurprisingly a poor student.

That's it.

Forget it, anyway, he didn't study very well in the first place, and if he didn't copy it, he still didn't have this score. Let Lin see what Fan thinks.

Gu Chaoming thought that Lin Jianfan might think that he was a poor student, and that he was a jerk like the rest of the class. Lin Jianfan let him do whatever he wanted, but Gu Chaoming never thought that he would turn around. Lin Jianfan didn't look at the blackboard, but was staring at him.

The back door of the classroom was not closed for ventilation, the sunlight only stayed in the corridor and refused to invade the classroom. Gu Chaoming turned around, not knowing how many times his eyes met Lin Jianfan's eyes today.

Um? Why are you looking at me

There was someone behind you who didn't understand staring at you like that. Gu Chaoming suddenly felt a tingle in his heart, and the hand that handed over the test paper almost stopped in the air.

The wary voyeur was caught on the spot.

Looking at each other, Lin Jianfan's face was a little panic at first, and then he pulled out a smile that Gu Chaoming couldn't understand, as if he was dealing with his question.

What is he laughing at? Is there anything funny? Gu Chaoming couldn't understand him more and more.

Gu Chaoming threw the test paper on Lin Jianfan's table: "You can use it."

The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually subsided, and Lin Jianfan picked up the test paper on the table and asked, "Then you..."

"I?"

Gu Chaoming wanted to say that I was sleeping, or that I didn't listen, that I played Sudoku.

Cen Xili, who was listening to the class next to him, pulled his paper and placed it between the two tables. He turned to Lin Jianfan and said, "You use his, we both use one."

"Well, we can just use one." Gu Chaoming nodded.

Lin Jianfan looked at the two of them and said softly with the paper, "Thank you."

He unfolded the folded test paper, and the two red numbers on the test paper flashed in front of his eyes.

Lin Jianfan flipped the test paper and didn't do anything in the back, except for the relatively simple questions in the front. The handwriting was sloppy, and he couldn't recognize some characters, but the three words "Gu Chaoming" in the name column were written neatly and neatly.

That's how his name was written.

Gu Chaoming.

The rising sun, the bright bright.

Lin Jianfan secretly wrote it down in his heart.

His name was recited and memorized in someone's heart. Gu Chaoming, who turned around, didn't know it. He supported his head with his left hand in a bored way, and a gel pen in his right hand kept spinning between his fingers.

Cen Xili looked at the blackboard, then lowered his head and held the pen to extract the problem-solving ideas.

The two were separated by a test paper. Cen Xili copied the notes and found that Gu Chaoming was writing something next to his test paper.

Originally thought that Gu Chaoming was drawing or writing something on his test paper as usual, Cen Xili leaned over to take a look.

Hey, Gu Chaoming is helping him copy the problem-solving ideas.

Once Lao Chen talked to him and asked him to lead Gu Chaoming's study, saying that Gu Chaoming actually wanted to study, but he didn't know why he refused to study hard.

I have to say that Lao Chen lived decades longer than them, and he still sees people more clearly than they do.

Cen Xili smiled at Gu Chaoming who lowered his head to copy the notes.

"Oh, that's right." After Gu Chaoming finished copying, he continued to turn his pen, suddenly remembering what Old Chen said about asking them to take Lin Jianfan to carry the book, he turned around and said to Lin Jianfan, "Old Chen asked me and Su Bing will take you to move books together at noon, Su Bing just ran over there, remember to go back to the classroom at noon."

Lin Jianfan nodded: "Okay."

In the last class in the morning, Gu Chaoming chose to sleep.

In the teacher's long lecture, Gu Chaoming breathed steadily between his nose, his eyes were tightly closed, and he looked like he was asleep.

After packing up and taking a shower yesterday, it was already late at night. Today, when I woke up early, Gu Chaoming made up for sleep in class.

Lin Jianfan listened carefully to the class, and a ball of paper fell from the air onto the desk.

The person who threw the note was very experienced at first glance, and the note fell between his arms.

The class was quiet, and the teacher didn't notice it. Lin Jianfan looked at where the note came from, but the person who threw the note shook his head, indicating that he did not write it, he was just helping pass the note.

Not far away, a person was hiding from the teacher and waved at him by the table, and his mouth was saying, "Here, here."

Lin Jianfan saw that it was him.

The companion of the man who ran away from Cen Xili as soon as he met Cen Xili during the big class break was the one who bumped into his chair.

When Li Zhao saw Lin and Fan looking over, he stopped waving, and made another open gesture, signaling him to open the note.

Lin Jianfan opened the note according to his intention, and there was quite a lot written in the note, more than one sentence he had imagined.

"My name is Li Zhao, you should still remember me, right? I accidentally bumped you during class, and you ran out and came back from class. Are you alright? Cen Xili said you felt sick, but it wasn't because of Did I bump into it? I’m really sorry. It’s almost time for get out of class, let’s go to dinner together at noon?”

A small piece of paper was filled by Li Zhao, and the sincerity of the apology could be seen from the number of words.

While Li Zhao cautiously guarded against the teacher, he turned his head to look in the direction of Lin Jianfan.

Lin Jianfan replied to him on the back of the note: "I'm fine, it's not your fault, Cen Xili also told me."

The long-awaited end of the get out of class bell rang, the teacher hadn't said the end of the get out of class, and the class that had been quiet for a class became restless as the end of the get out of class bell rang.

As soon as Gu Chaoming woke up, he sat with his hands crossed, raised his head above his head and stretched, and then yawned again after stretching.

Gu Chaoming raised his hand to straighten the baseball cap that had fallen slightly because he was sleeping on his stomach. He wasn't woken up by the bell, he woke up naturally a minute or two before the bell rang.

He seemed to be pinching, but he didn't fall asleep.

But he did feel very tired, sleepy, and slept soundly, but he was able to wake up at the right time like Gu Tao.

Sure enough, they are a family, living under the same roof, and they can be infected with everything. Gu Tao's special abilities that he didn't know where he learned it were all learned by him, and the rest may have been buried in him. Which nerve, which bone, which drop of blood is in.

Whether he wanted it or not, whether he noticed it or not, they had been quietly affecting him, changing him, and there was nothing he could do, no room for resistance.

Gu Chaoming couldn't help but sneer, whether he was laughing at himself or at Gu Tao.

A random action related to Gu Tao, a random word related to Gu Tao, a random moment related to Gu Tao, all made him guard against it, be afraid of it, and be afraid that someone will see through his mind.

He was afraid that someone would know what happened yesterday, even though it was only Gu Tao and him at home.

This kind of vague worry like walking on thin ice surrounded him, like the fog that refused to disperse in the early morning, making him unable to see the road ahead.

Gu Chaoming put together the textbooks he was pressing while sleeping in class, and threw them on top of the pile of books on the desk.

As soon as the teacher said the get out of class was over, students who were ready sprinted out. Gu Chaoming was not in a hurry at all, waiting for Cen Xili, who was listening carefully to the last second, to pack up and go to dinner together.

The students in the class walked out of the classroom one after another, and Su Bing pushed aside the chairs that were blocking the way from the other side of the classroom and walked towards Gu Chaoming and Cen Xili.

Before taking a few steps, Su Bing found that Li Zhao did not go to Liu Xiaopang as before, but walked towards the back door of the classroom like him.

Su Bing took a big step and walked to Li Zhao's side: "Counselor, don't you want to eat with Xiaopang today?"

It is a well-known secret that Li Zhao likes Shi Cancan. I heard that Li Zhao likes Shi Cancan. I don't know how many years. The two were in the same class in junior high school. He likes it so much, but he just doesn't confess, but looks behind him stupidly. "Veteran in love" Su Bing commented on one word simply for his practice of not confessing and you hitting me.

That's where the name of the ominous came from.

"He went to the toilet." Li Zhao said.

"Oh." Su Bing responded and walked to Gu Chaoming's table.

Su Bing thought that Li Zhao didn't go through the front door of the classroom, but instead went to the back door to find Liu Xiaopang who was going to the toilet. In a blink of an eye, Li Zhao stopped by Lin Jianfan's desk.

Lin Jianfan looked up at Li Zhao who was sitting in the seat, and got up from his seat.

Li Zhao said: "There is another person, he went to the toilet, you wait."

Lin Jianfan stood up and didn't move after listening to Li Zhao's words.

After Cen Xili cleaned up, he was worried that Lin Jianfan was not familiar with the school and didn't know where to eat. He wanted to ask Lin Jianfan if he wanted to come with them. Now it seems that someone is eating with him, Cen Xili put away his worries.

"Have dinner with your new classmates?" Su Bing asked Li Zhao who was standing aside with a smile.

Gu Chaoming greeted Su Bing who was still chatting: "Let's go, let's eat."

"Let's go first." Su Bing said to Li Zhao and Lin Jianfan.

Lin Jianfan stood there and watched the backs of the three disappear together at the door of the classroom.

When Liu Xiaopang came back, only the two of them were left in the classroom, and the rest had already gone to dinner.

The classroom was silent, and there was no wind in the summer afternoon. Although the fan overhead was turning, the whole classroom was still filled with sultry heat. Li Zhaodong chatted casually with Lin Jianfan, and when Lin Jianfan wondered if Li Zhao was deliberately trolling him, Liu Xiaopang appeared at the door of the classroom at a trot.

Lin Jian Fan breathed a sigh of relief and finally came.

"Let's go." Liu Xiaopang leaned against the door panting and called to the two of them.

"Why did it take you so long? You still gasp like this when you go to the toilet." Li Zhao's tone was full of impatient waiting.

"There were too many people in the toilet. I managed to get to a toilet. I was afraid that you would be impatient and I would run over." Liu Xiaopang explained.

"The toilets are so popular." Li Zhao joked.

Lin Jianfan also laughed along with him.

The three of them walked in a row in the corridor. The afternoon sun was the hottest. As soon as they came out of the classroom and walked in the sun, the hot air around them gathered around and surrounded them.

Li Zhao walked between Lin Jianfan and Liu Xiaopang, acting as their linker.

"His name is Liu Jie, and he has four characters that most people can't read. You can just call him Xiaopang." Li Zhao introduced Lin Jianfan.

"Isn't it bad to be called Xiaopang?" Lin Jianfan said.

Liu Xiaopang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head, his whole body was hot, and he said with a smile, "It's okay, that's what you call me. My name is too uncommon, but fortunately it's easy to write."

Wiping away the sweat, Liu Xiaopang said to Lin Jianfan again, "I know you, the new transfer student from the second class is called Lin Jianfan. I heard about it yesterday..."

Liu Xiaopang didn't pay attention to what he said, and Lin Jianfan asked, "I knew it yesterday?"

Li Zhao explained for him: "He is well-informed, and you can ask him anything in the future."

"Yes yes yes, ask me to ask me." Liu Xiaopang patted his chest and said.

"Where are we going to eat?" Li Zhao asked Liu Xiaopang.

"I'm free." Liu Xiaopang said.

"What do you want to eat?" Li Zhao asked Lin Jianfan again.

Lin Jianfan blinked, his mind went blank, he had no clue, there was only one place to eat that he could think of.

"The cafeteria." Lin Jianfan said.

"Do you want to eat in the cafeteria?" Li Zhao asked, "That's right, it's your first time here, so I'll take you to the cafeteria first."

The noodle shop outside the school has no air conditioning, so Gu Chaoming chose the seat under the fan to sit down. Cen Xili took out a tissue from the paper bucket on the table to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The weather was too hot and the sun was shining directly. The innermost layer of hair on Cen Xili's forehead was stuck to his forehead, and Cen Xili's fingers were separating them from his forehead.

Walking this way, Gu Chaoming could feel how the sweat on his head formed and how it fell from his face. Gu Chaoming raised his hand and squeezed the brim of the baseball cap on his head, raising it a little so that the air inside would circulate and not be so stuffy. He was afraid that he would always be stuffy and the wound on his forehead would become inflamed.

The wound was a little itchy, it should be healing, but he couldn't scratch. Gu Chaoming raised his eyebrows and moved his forehead to relieve the itching.

Cen Xili caught his action and advised Gu Chaoming: "Don't wear it when it's hot, it's not good for the wound."

"It's okay, I'm heat-resistant." Gu Chaoming said.

Su Bing interrupted their conversation: "Do you think Lin Jianfan is a little strange?"

"What happened to him?" Gu Chaoming asked.

"Didn't we get caught by Old Chen during the big class break? He left first. He smiled at me like that when he entered the classroom." Su Bing imitated Lin Jianfan's smile and showed it to Gu Chaoming and Cen Xili, "That's it. laugh."

Gu Chaoming looked up at Su Bing.

"He smiled at me this way all morning," Gu Chaoming said in a somewhat helpless tone, "I found it strange when I saw him smiling, I thought he was smiling at me alone, but I heard you say that he also smiled at you. Laughing like that, maybe that's how he treats people, some people are born to laugh."

"You said yesterday that people have epilepsy and cerebral palsy, what else is there?" Su Bing thought.

Cen Xili added for him: "And hemorrhoids."

"Yes, yes," Su Bing said several times in a row, "Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Shuai, your heart is so dark, you curse such a handsome guy to get hemorrhoids."

"Fuck off, I just talked about it yesterday."
