The direct sunlight in the summer afternoon scorched the skin, and Gu Chaoming and his party tried the power of the afternoon sun as soon as they walked out of the store. The road is full of colorful sun umbrellas, and the pungent sunlight slides over the umbrella surface to form a gray-black shadow under the feet. The girls escape the favor of the sun in the shadow.

The weather was too hot, and the ground was like a hot oil pan. As soon as he walked up, Gu Chaoming felt that the soles of his shoes could melt. It was his hair that melted before the soles of his shoes. Within a minute of walking out of the store, Gu Chaoming felt that his hair was covered in sweat, as if he had just washed his hair and was stuffed in a baseball cap.

"Is Xili full?" Gu Chaoming asked.

Cen Xili has a problem with not liking breakfast, and is hungry every morning. When others don't eat breakfast, they will eat some snacks to cushion their stomachs. Cen Xili can eat nothing and stay on an empty stomach all morning, so that Mr. Su Bing always said to him, "Are you going to become an immortal?"

Today, Cen Xili didn't eat breakfast, and he only ate a little noodle at noon. After breakfast, Gu Chaoming felt that he must be very hungry in the afternoon, not to mention Cen Xili, who didn't eat breakfast.

Cen Xili nodded, "It's okay."

Gu Chaoming wanted to talk, but Su Bing came in and said to Cen Xili, "This is the bird's stomach, do you know what the bird's stomach is?"

Su Bing stretched out his fingers, pinching his index finger and thumb together: "Eating this much is called a bird's stomach."

Gu Chaoming lifted his hand and raised his hat to let the air inside, cool and cool, and listened to the two people next to him discussing the topic of "bird stomach".

At the roadside supermarket, Gu Chaoming took out three bottles of ice mineral water from the refrigerator. Cen Xili was almost forced to buy a piece of bread by Su Bing's nagging. At the checkout, Su Bing took another bottle of milk, paid for it by himself, and walked out of the supermarket. Throwing it into Cen Xili's arms: "Eat it with bread on it."

Su Xiaoma cares.

Gu Chaoming unscrewed the mineral water bottle and smiled, and drank a few mouthfuls to quench his thirst.

There is no air conditioner in the classroom, the fan is turned on to the maximum, and the fan blades rotate rapidly, bringing gusts of cool breeze. The classroom in the afternoon was sultry and noisy, and all the hot air was blowing in from the window. Gu Chaoming, who entered the classroom from the "stove", was too windy to sit in the seat, so he adjusted his hat to ventilate it again.

When Gu Chaoming entered the classroom, he saw that Lin Jianfan's seat was empty, and it seemed that he had not finished his meal.

Gu Chaoming had nothing to do. He was thinking about whether to take out the Sudoku book to relieve his boredom. When he was about to take out the Sudoku book, Lin Jianfan and Li Zhao walked in from the front door of the classroom together. sweat.

The hot sunshine never spares anyone, Gu Chaoming had cooled off after sitting on the seat for a while, and Lin Jianfan walked towards him "steamingly", passing him another hearty smile like ice-cold soda.

A small, friendly smile.

Gu Chaoming smiled in response, his attention was not on Lin Jianfan's hearty and friendly smile, but on the half-eaten mung bean ice in his hand.

The dark green mung bean ice melted in the hot air, and Gu Chaoming's eyes stayed on it for an extra second.

Gu Chaoming thought of a person, a big brother of his when he was a child, and that brother often invited him to eat green food when he was a child.

Gu Chaoming turned his head sideways and said to Lin Jianfan who was biting on the mung bean ice: "You sit down for a while, and we'll take you to carry the book later."

The mung bean ice melted in his mouth, his Adam's apple rolled and swallowed. Lin Jianfan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."

"No thanks." Gu Chaoming smiled.

After eating the mung bean ice in his hand, Lin Jianfan remembered the lesson of the morning, and instead of touching Gu Chaoming's wound, he quietly poked Gu Chaoming's back with his fingers.

The phone lay flat on the desk, Gu Chaoming swiped the phone boredly with his head supported, Lin Jianfan's first touch behind him was too light, and Gu Chaoming didn't feel it.

"Gu Chaoming?" Lin Jianfan carefully increased his strength, tapped his fingers on Gu Chaoming's uncomfortable school uniform fabric, and called out his name.

Gu Chaoming turned his head: "Huh?"

"I'm done eating, we can go." Lin Jianfan said.

Lin Jianfan didn't want to delay Gu Chaoming too much time, so he quickly finished the mung bean ice in his hand, and immediately knocked on Gu Chaoming's back.

Just two minutes up and down.

Gu Chaoming turned his head and thought that Lin Jianfan had something to do with him. I thought that when Lin saw Fan Gang entered the classroom from outside, he wanted him to rest for a while and then go to get the book. Since he said to go now, then go now.

Gu Chaoming closed his phone and put it in his school pants pocket, stood up from his seat, and called out to Su Bing, who was chatting with the girls in their class again.

Lin Jianfan sat in the seat and looked in the direction where Gu Chaoming shouted, the tall boy who smoked with Gu Chaoming in the morning.

Su Bing was sitting next to the "tomato" girl in the morning. The girl looked completely different from seeing him in the morning. She smiled calmly at Su Bing and looked very talkative.

Gu Chaoming stood in the position and said: "Su Bing is flirting with her sister again."

When Su Bing heard Gu Chaoming calling him, he knew that he must be going to move the book, so he trotted over, leaving the "red tomato" girl Chu Yao and her best friend Jing Jiaru sitting under the fan in the morning.

Chu Yao heard the sound and looked at Gu Chaoming. Seeing Lin Jianfan who was looking at him behind Gu Chaoming, Chu Yao almost blushed and turned her head.

Chu Yao endured her shyness and squeezed out a bright smile at Lin Jianfan.

Jing Jiaru tried her best not to laugh, covering her mouth with her hands. The consequence of blocking her smile was that she laughed even more when she opened the gate.

Seeing that Fan received Chu Yao's smile, Lin was a little flattered. He looked up at Gu Chaoming, wanting to confirm that Chu Yao was really smiling at him.

"Why are you looking at me?" Gu Chaoming noticed the look Lin Jianfan was looking at him.

"It's nothing." Lin Jianfan said softly.

After confirming that Chu Yao was smiling at him, Lin Jianfan showed his refreshing smile in response. Chu Yao didn't blush like in the morning, but held Jing Jiaru's hand tightly in a place that Lin Jianfan couldn't see.

The girls continued to chat, Lin Jianfan retracted his gaze, and when Su Bing ran over, Jing Jiaru's undisguised laughter came from under the fan.

Su Bing heard the laughter and looked over there.

What does this say, so funny

Su Bing turned his head and saw that Chu Yao was desperately covering Jing Jiaru's mouth to keep her from laughing.

The sunlight outside the window was waiting for them. Gu Chaoming tapped on Lin Jianfan's table with his index knuckles. Lin Jianfan immediately stood up from his position and went downstairs with them.

Going down the stairs one by one, Gu Chaoming didn't speak. Su Bing didn't like the atmosphere that was too deserted. On the first day of the family, Su Bing didn't want the freshman to feel that he and Gu Chaoming were too indifferent to him. Gu Chaoming didn't say anything, Su Bing kept talking to Lin Jianfan with unhealthy words.

"My name is Su Bing, with the word "Fire" plus A, B, B, D, and C." Su Bing introduced himself.

"You've introduced yourself this way for so many years, can you change it?" Gu Chaoming said.

"You're not the same, you're not as refined as I said."

The conversation with the new classmates turned into a confrontation between the two old brothers.

After Gu Chaoming finished fighting Su Bing, he noticed that Lin Jianfan, who was walking beside him, had never spoken, but just walked quietly beside him, smiling from time to time.

The three-person tour turned into a two-person tour, and Lin Jianfan's existence seemed to be dispensable at once, and he couldn't integrate into it. Gu Chaoming didn't want this. He glanced at Lin Jianfan, who was smiling, and asked him, "Where did you go for lunch?"

Lin Jianfan didn't think that the topic would suddenly be thrown to him, so he looked at Gu Chaoming in a daze.

Walking in the shade of the bulletin board, Gu Chaoming smiled, the little spots of light blocked by the hat could not fall on his face.

Lin Jianfan didn't dare to look into Gu Chaoming's eyes, he stared at the healing wound on Gu Chaoming's lips and said, "The cafeteria to eat."

After speaking, Lin saw Fan and looked away, as if embarrassed.

Gu Chaoming had never seen such a shy boy before, obviously he was not like this last night. Maybe it was with someone he knew last night, a Doraemon who couldn't speak, so he would feel more at ease, but now he is just a classmate he just met.

Passing by the school canteen, Gu Chaoming asked Su Bing and Lin Jianfan to wait, he was going to buy something.

Su Bing and Lin Jianfan stopped in the shade of a tree, and the hot summer atmosphere surrounded them. After walking down from the teaching building, Su Bing was so hot that he stood in the shade of a tree and used his hand as a fan: "In this weather, life can't bear the heat."

Lin Jianfan stood in the shade of a tree and looked at his new campus. It's hot in summer, and there's hardly anyone on the road. Not far from the tree where they were hiding was a small basketball court, where Gu Chaoming planted the little yellow flowers yesterday.

Lin Jianfan was looking around at the new campus, and suddenly his neck became cold, causing him to shrink his shoulders.

There was a rare coolness on the frozen neck, with a little water droplets. Lin Jianfan turned his head and saw Gu Chaoming's smiling face under his black baseball cap again.

With the curved eyes, the brim of the hat blocked all the light spots, and the brim of the hat seemed to guard its territory, fearing that Gu Chaoming would be stained by the light spots.

Gu Chaoming smiled, holding a bottle of Ice Sprite in his hand.

There was a little water vapor on the bottle of green Sprite, and Lin Jianfan looked at Gu Chaoming who held out his hand, and then at the Sprite handed over in his hand.

Gu Chaoming threw Xue Bi into his arms when he saw that Lin Jian Fan Guang didn't answer. Lin Jianfan stretched out his hand to catch it, and the cold Sprite bumped into Summer's hot palm.

"Bought it for you."

Before Gu Chaoming said the next sentence, Su Bing couldn't wait to rush up: "What's the situation?"

Su Bing looked at Gu Chaoming empty-handed again: "Gu Shuai, I want it too."

Gu Chaoming gave him a rolling word: "Go buy it yourself."

Lin Jianfan didn't know what to do with the Ice Sprite in his hand, so he asked Gu Chaoming, "Why did you buy me Sprite?"

Gu Chaoming pushed the noisy Su Bing away: "Did you meet Doraemon with a child on the street last night?"

The palm of the hand was wrapped around Sprite, and a trace of coldness penetrated. Lin Jianfan looked at Gu Chaoming and nodded slowly: "Yes, how do you know?"

"Because that Doraemon is me." Gu Chaoming pointed to himself.

Lin Jianfan looked surprised: "Is it you? Is that Doraemon who dropped the flyer?"

Speaking of dropping the flyer yesterday, Gu Chaoming unconsciously touched the brim of his hat: "Yes, that stupid Doraemon is me."

Lin Jianfan immediately shook his head: "Not stupid, not stupid, not stupid at all, Shengsheng likes you."

Gu Chaoming remembered the child who innocently asked him last night, "Why is there no Nobita in Doraemon?": "Your brother likes Doraemon, not me."

"That's not my brother, it's my neighbor's child." Lin Jianfan explained.

"Oh, so, seeing you holding him, I thought it was your brother."

"No." Lin Jianfan shook his head with a smile.

"Thank you for helping me yesterday, I invited you to Sprite."

Hearing Gu Chaoming talking about what happened yesterday, Su Bing grabbed Lin Jianfan's shoulder and said to Lin Jianfan, "This kid, if you help him like this, he still murdered you in the morning, don't let him go, take this opportunity to be ruthless. Kill him hard."

I don't know what Lin Jianfan likes to eat. Seeing that the weather is hot, Gu Chaoming took out a bottle of Sprite from the freezer that most people should not hate. Gu Chaoming also felt that a bottle of Sprite couldn't express his gratitude.

Gu Chaoming also asked, "What do you like to eat? You're welcome."

Lin Jianfan looked flattered again.

Lin Jianfan didn't say anything, he just helped pick up the flyers. He didn't want to ask for more.

Lin Jianfan shook his head desperately: "No, I don't have anything I like to eat."

"How could I not like to eat? You are embarrassed to mention it, but I am very embarrassed. You asked you to apologize first in the morning."

Su Bing closed Lin Jianfan's shoulder: "Speak, it's okay, if you don't say it, he's not feeling well."

Lin Jianfan looked at Gu Chaoming and then at Su Bing who was holding him, and then said softly, "Then... let's get yogurt."

Su Bing was so close that he hadn't heard what Lin Jianfan said, but Gu Chaoming, who was standing in front of him, heard it clearly, and said jokingly: "It turns out to be yogurt, not for eating, but for drinking, so I will Should have asked what you like to drink."

The three of them went to the Academic Affairs Office to pick up the books, and they carried them back to the classroom one by one.

The scorching sun above his head, working as a porter under the scorching sun, all three of them were sweating profusely. Gu Chaoming was walking on the road carrying a book. He felt sweat running across the wound. sweat.

Carrying the book to the canteen, he put down the book in his hand first. The moment the book was put down, he was instantly released, and Gu Chaoming quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Asking the aunt in the canteen to read the book, Gu Chaoming took Lin Jianfan to the freezer.

Air-conditioning came out of the open freezer, and the yogurt drinks were neatly arranged layer by layer.

"Choose whatever you want." Gu Chaoming said.

Su Bing reached out to get a bottle, but Gu Chaoming patted his hand: "You have no share."

Facing the yogurt in the freezer, Lin Jianfan was a little embarrassed to reach out, but Gu Chaoming urged him to take out a small bottle of yogurt.

"That's it." Lin Jianfan said.

Gu Chaoming is someone you help him once, and he will definitely repay him seriously. Seeing that Lin Jianfan was like a child whose parents took him out to play and bought things to see his parents' faces, Gu Chaoming took out a large bottle of yogurt and threw it into Lin Jianfan's arms.

"This is delicious." Gu Chaoming actually didn't drink yogurt very much. He had no idea which brand of yogurt tasted good. After talking, Gu Chaoming took out two small bottles, and closed the refrigerator to check out without giving Lin Jianfan room to refuse.

"This... this is useless." Lin Jianfan said closely behind Gu Chaoming.

"I gave it to you." Gu Chaoming quickly settled the bill. Only in this way could he feel more at ease.

After checking out, Gu Chaoming threw one of the bottles of yogurt to Su Bing: "The yogurt you want."

Lin Jianfan had a bottle of Sprite in his left hand, a bottle of yogurt in his right hand, and a small bottle of yogurt in his palm. Gu Chaoming silently took a pile of books that Lin Jianfan was going to move, and piled them on the books he was going to move.
