As soon as the car approached the school the next day, Gu Chaoming looked out the window to see if there was any suspicious person.
He didn't even see Gu Tao, Gu Chaoming guessed that Gu Tao might have been drinking again yesterday and didn't get up today.
There was a physical education class in the afternoon, and Su Bing wanted to play a good game to relax while taking advantage of the physical education class.
Gu Chaoming did his homework at noon and didn't sleep. He just took the English class he hated the most. He lay on the table listlessly and complained to Cen Xili, "What English class is there in the afternoon?"
When the class bell rang, Gu Chaoming still lay on the table and didn't want to move: "I need a cup of coffee now."
Su Bing patted Gu Chaoming's back: "What you need now is a ball, not a cup of coffee, gym class, go, borrow a ball."
Gu Chaoming sat up full of energy after hearing the game: "Go."
The sun was a bit bright, and Su Bing and Su Bing had a great time in one class, driving away all the fatigue in his body, sweating profusely, and his hair was all sweaty.
When the class was about to end, the physical education teacher called to gather, and Gu Chaoming passed the team holding the ball.
Lin Jianfan was sweating like him, but not as much as he did. Gu Chaoming could feel that Lin Jianfan was also steaming after exercise.
It seems that he is also exercising, but I didn't see him on the basketball court. Did he play other things
The sports committee reported the number in front, and Gu Chaoming asked Su Bing, "Who played the ball?"
"Old rules." Su Bing said.
The three stood together and counted the three of them quietly rock paper scissors.
Cen Xili easily won the first round, but Su Bing refused to accept: "Xili wins every time, and he never let go of the ball a few times."
Gu Chaoming was also surprised: "Xili, why are you so strong in rock-paper-scissors?"
"The two of you will fight to the death." Cen Xili said.
Gu Chaoming's mood after playing ball is like a bright sunshine. Perhaps Gu Tao has made him depressed these days, and sweating while playing is particularly refreshing.
After three draws, Su Bing smiled and said, "Gu Shuai, we have a good understanding."
After speaking, Gu Chaoming changed his path and a rock beat Su Bing's scissors.
Su Bing: "???? What about our tacit understanding? If we say no, then we won't."
Gu Chaoming ignored him and shoved the ball into his arms: "Hurry up and return the ball, I'll go wash your face."
After the disbandment, Su Bing held the ball aggrievedly, and Gu Chaoming and Cen Xili went to the sink near the canteen to wash their faces together.
The two were chatting and laughing on the road, and when they approached the sink, Cen Xili suddenly called out, "Lin Jianfan."
Hearing the words Lin Jianfan, Gu Chaoming looked at the sink, and Lin Jianfan was standing by the sink washing his hands alone.
Gu Chaoming walked over to greet him: "Hey, wash your hands?"
The cold water flowed out from the opened faucet, Gu Chaoming rushed towards his hands, and absently turned his head to glance at Lin Jianfan who was also washing his hands beside him, only to see Lin Jianfan wiping his sweaty neck with his watery fingers.
His slender fingers stroked his neck, and the water droplets on his fingers moved to his neck. Gu Chaoming glanced at him, looked away, and took a bowl of water in the palm of his hand and poured it on his cheeks to cool down.
Gu Chaoming blamed his eyesight for being too good, the sun was too hot, and the air was too hot, so that he could see the sun-stained water droplets on Lin Jianfan's neck and the obvious fluff behind the backlight.
Gu Chaoming pretended to calmly wipe the water droplets on his face with his hands and asked Lin Jianfan, "Where did you go just now? I didn't see you on the basketball court, and you looked like you were sweating."
"I went to the volleyball hall." Lin Jianfan didn't notice Gu Chaoming's weirdness at all, and answered truthfully.
Cen Xili next to Gu Chaoming was stunned when he heard the word volleyball hall, and glanced at Lin Jianfan, who had been staying in the volleyball hall for this class. Lin Jianfan didn't know why Cen Xili wanted to look at himself after hearing the volleyball hall. Seeing Fan still politely and formulately smiled at Cen Xili.
Cen Xili looked away, Lin Jian Fan Song let out a sigh of relief.
"You still play volleyball?" Gu Chaoming asked.
Lin Jianfan shook his head: "I won't, they took me to play."
Gu Chaoming's arm was covered with water droplets that had not been wiped off, and the hair on his forehead was moistened with water. Transparent drops of water slid across the skin, Lin Jianfan looked at him, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to him.
After taking it, Gu Chaoming said thank you, took out a tissue and turned to give it to Cen Xili behind him, only to find that Cen Xili was in a daze. Gu Chaoming flicked the water droplets on his hands on Cen Xili's face: "What are you thinking?"
Cen Xili stopped his gaze before looking at him: "It's nothing."
Speaking of the volleyball court, Gu Chaoming knew that Cen Xili must be thinking of You Xin, but he refused to say it. Gu Chaoming rubbed Cen Xili's hair, and Cen Xili avoided.
Lin Jianfan looked at them, lowered his eyes and said, "Then I'll go first."
Cen Xili avoided Gu Chaoming's hand touching his head and asked Lin Jianfan who was leaving: "Won't you go up with us?"
Seeing Fan smiling, Lin shook his head.
When Lin saw Fan was about to leave, Gu Chaoming stopped him: "Hey, wait a minute."
Lin Jianfan stopped, thinking that Gu Chaoming had something to say to him, but he didn't expect Gu Chaoming to leave a sentence "you stand here" and then ran to the canteen not far away, and ran over with a few bottles of yogurt in his hand soon after. .
The figure of the boy running under the warm sunshine, the sun covers his whole body, and even the shadow shows the youth's vigor.
Lin Jianfan watched Gu Chaoming running towards himself, Gu Chaoming ran to him and handed him a bottle of yogurt he just bought: "I remember you said that you like yogurt."
Lin Jianfan looked at the yogurt handed over by Gu Chaoming and then at Gu Chaoming, but did not take it. Gu Chaoming didn't talk to him any more, he just shoved the yogurt into his hand: "Just take it as my dad's apology for stopping you yesterday, don't mind."
Lin Jianfan held the ice-cold yogurt bought by Gu Chaoming and said, "I don't have it."
Gu Chaoming smiled: "That's good."
In order to prevent Su Bing from saying that he was partial, Gu Chaoming's yogurt was not only given to Lin Jianfan, but also to Cen Xili and Su Bing. Gu Chaoming returned to the classroom and saw that Fan was sitting in the seat drinking the yogurt he gave him, and the corners of his mouth could not help curling up.
When the school bell rang, Gu Chaoming stretched out in his seat. After a day's fatigue, Su Bing packed his schoolbag and came over to go home with his companions as usual.
After leaving the classroom, he saw Lin Jianfan sweeping the floor in front of their group with a broom. Gu Chaoming called his name: "Lin Jianfan."
Lin Jianfan, who was sweeping the floor in front, turned his head with the broom. Su Bing waved to him enthusiastically. Gu Chaoming put on his schoolbag and walked over to ask, "Why do you sweep the floor alone? And don't you sweep the floor on Monday? Why is it today? You sweep the floor? You sweep the floor every day?"
Lin Jianfan replied suddenly: "Oh... he has something to do... let me sweep it for him."
Gu Chaoming picked out a word in Lin Jianfan's words and asked sharply, "Replace? Or change?"
Lin Jianfan just smiled and wanted to perfunctory: "It's okay, just sweep the floor."
Gu Chaoming wanted to say something, but when he came to his mouth, he only said: "I'm leaving first."
Lin Jianfan nodded, Gu Chaoming waved goodbye to him, and Su Bing also waved to him happily.
Leaving the classroom and walking in the corridor, Su Bing looked back at Lin Jianfan, who was sweeping the floor alone in the classroom, and withdrew his eyes and sighed, "Lin Jianfan is at the mercy of others."
Gu Chaoming was uncomfortable listening to Su Bing's words, and looked at Su Bing with a slight frown: "Can you stop talking so badly? What does it mean to be called by someone?"
"You're not happy anymore, so what word do you think to use?" Su Bing asked.
"… "
Gu Chaoming didn't think about it, Lin Jianfan did indeed ask him for help, and he would not refuse, no matter whether others gave him or not, and sometimes he was flattering.
Gu Chaoming didn't speak, Su Bing continued: "You didn't come to my side, you can see what he is like every day if you sit with me. He will not refuse people, what he says is helpful, what he says is bad. It is to be called by anyone, especially his front desk Yu Hangwei, who is called every day."
Gu Chaoming sighed lightly: "I told him this before, and it doesn't seem to be of any use."
As soon as this statement came out, both Cen Xili and Su Bing beside him looked at him in surprise. Gu Chaoming reiterated to Su Bing and Cen Xili what he said that morning according to memory.
After listening to it, Cen Xili said, "Gu Shuai, are you just saying that directly? Is this really good?"
Su Bing also said: "Gu Shuai, you are just... I can't describe you very well. Don't speak so directly in the future, be more euphemistic."
Gu Chaoming helplessly spread his hands: "I didn't think so much at the time."
Su Bing said to Gu Chaoming: "Do you know what you mean? It's like directly pointing at a person who is not very good. Everyone knows that you still have to say it in front of others."
"Your analogy... Can't I say it well? I said it all."
Su Bing shook his head: "You think it's good."
Gu Chaoming: "..."
Even if Gu Chaoming told him so frankly, Lin Jianfan didn't see any change. If someone is so flattering and flattering, Gu Chaoming will definitely not want to contact him. If the other party wants to contact him, he must also stay away, but the other party is Lin Jianfan, which seems to be a little different.
As for why, Gu Chaoming didn't want to understand, just because it was Lin Jianfan, and the three words Lin Jianfan were the reason.
Gu Chaoming, who was walking downstairs, thought so, he couldn't help but look upstairs and saw nothing. Lin Jianfan should still be cleaning in the classroom.
In the blink of an eye, I accidentally saw the flowerbed downstairs of the teaching building. The yellow flowers on the flowerbed had already withered, and the green leaves had bloomed layer by layer. Gu Chaoming remembered the strange boy he saw when he was waiting for Su Bing by the flowerbed the day before Lin saw Fan Lai.
I don't know why I think of him, but I suddenly think of him, maybe in a specific place, the yellow flower in my memory.
Gu Chaoming was still thinking about the Yellow Flower Boy in his memory. Upstairs, Lin Jianfan suddenly appeared in the classroom corridor with a broom. Gu Chaoming saw him, and Lin Jianfan swept the ground seriously.
Inexplicably, there is a little resemblance to the Yellow Flower Boy.
Cen Xili watched Gu Chaoming and kept turning his head to look behind him: "Gu Shuai, what are you looking at?"
Gu Chaoming raised his hands like when Lin Jianfan cheered him on at the sports meeting, put them on his lips and shouted out Lin Jianfan's name in a trumpet shape.
"Lin see Fan!"
Gu Chaoming's voice pierced the separated air and jumped into the classroom corridor. Lin Jianfan, who was sweeping the floor upstairs, heard Gu Chaoming calling his name, and leaned on the corridor railing with the broom and looked down.
Gu Chaoming downstairs waved goodbye to him backwards.
Lin Jianfan was upstairs, and Gu Chaoming couldn't see his expression clearly, but he knew that Lin Jianfan was smiling and that Lin Jianfan was also waving at him.
Seeing them waving goodbye one upstairs and the other downstairs, Su Bing and Cen Xili looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Su Bing smiled and said, "Gu Shuai, can you inform us before you call, your voice can scare me to death."
Saying goodbye to Lin Jianfan and approaching the school gate, the three of them couldn't help but be alert. Gu Chaoming glanced quickly and did not find Gu Tao's figure.
After walking out of the school, I looked left and right, except that the students did not see Gu Tao, and after walking for a while to make sure that Gu Tao did not come, a few people relaxed.
"Your dad didn't come today." Su Bing said.
"Go play cards." Gu Chaoming guessed.
Play cards, sleep, anything is possible. It's best not to come, let him live quietly.
Gu Tao didn't come, Cen Xili rode into the car and said to Gu Chaoming and Su Bing, "Then I'll go first."
Su Bing and Gu Chaoming also asked Gu Chaoming to be careful when they parted. Gu Chaoming was a little impatient: "I see, let's go."
Separated from Su Bing, Gu Chaoming took out the headphones from his pocket and listened to the song, hesitantly opened the chat interface with Lin Jianfan.
Gu Chaoming: "Have you finished scanning?"
Gu Chaoming guessed that Lin Jianfan was either on the road or was still in the classroom, but he didn't expect Lin Jianfan to reply: "After sweeping, I have to mop the floor."
Gu Chaoming: "Oh, it's pretty fast."
Gu Chaoming: "Next time they ask you to help with cleaning, don't agree."
Lin Jianfan: "It's okay, just sweep the floor."
Gu Chaoming: "Every time you help them sweep, and there is no return, just leave after saying a word, why help them sweep."
Some are what Gu Chaoming heard from Su Bing, and some are what Gu Chaoming saw himself. Lin Jianfan always has his back, he does all the dirty work, and sometimes some bad things are pushed to him, and the idiot Lin Jianfan pays for the lack of money for organizing activities in the class.
Because Su Bing said that he was too straight, Gu Chaoming also thought about his words. Instead of trying to please them in private, he said, "Can you stop being a good guy?"
Gu Chaoming added: "I don't have any identity to speak of you, but these people just look at you as being bullied, and they only pick soft persimmons."
On the opposite side, Lin Jianfan didn't reply for a long time. Gu Chaoming continued, "The more you promise them, the more they will make progress, and the more they will feel that you are easy to bully."
Lin Jianfan didn't answer for a long time. Seeing that he didn't respond for so long, Gu Chaoming wondered if what he said was too straightforward or too serious
Gu Chaoming: "Are you angry?"
Lin Jianfan: "I'm not angry, I'm not flattering, but I'm not very good at rejecting others."
Gu Chaoming looked at the message: "What's so difficult about rejecting it?"
Lin Jianfan: "It's difficult for me."
Gu Chaoming: "Can't you say it?"
Lin Jianfan: "Yes."
Gu Chaoming: "How about another way to refuse? Say you don't have time, say you have something to do, don't say no directly."
Lin Jianfan: "I'll try it."
Gu Chaoming: "Well."
Lin Jianfan: "Let's stop talking, I'm going to mop the floor."
Gu Chaoming almost forgot that Lin Jianfan had to mop the floor before he remembered the original purpose of chatting with him.
Gu Chaoming: "My dad wasn't at the school gate today, don't worry, go home early."
Lin Jianfan said after a while, "Well, then I'm going to mop the floor."
For the next few days, Gu Chaoming has been busy looking for a new house, hoping to find one that suits him, but he couldn't find a satisfactory one after searching for a long time.
On Saturday, after get off work, Gu Chaoming was sitting on the bus going home to rest. Although he was tired from part-time jobs and studies, Gu Chaoming still felt quite comfortable without the trouble of Gu Tao coming to him.
After the bus passed a stop, the phone in his hand suddenly rang. Gu Chaoming narrowed his eyes and was startled. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Gu Tao. Gu Chaoming ignored it, turned on the mute, did not hang up, and called him casually.
Gu Tao is very persevering. After several phone calls, Gu Chaoming didn't answer a single call.
After returning home and taking a shower, he picked up his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID. Gu Tao called him several times, including two missed calls from Qu Yingyi.
Seeing that the time was called when he was on the road, Qu Yingyi hadn't called him for some time. Why did he suddenly call him
Gu Chaoming wiped his wet hair with a bath towel and sat on the sofa in the living room with no lights on, calling his mother back.
It took a while for the call to be connected. Before Gu Chaoming could say "Mom", a young girl's voice came from the opposite side.
"Hello?" The girl's voice was very glutinous, and Gu Chaoming was stunned for a moment. Why is there a girl on the opposite side? Still a kid.
Gu Chaoming glanced at the phone number he made. Yes, it was his mother's phone number. Hearing the little girl's voice, he thought he made a mistake.
The immature girl over there asked again, "Hey, who are you?"
Gu Chaoming guessed that she should be the man's daughter, and his mother mentioned it to him.
Gu Chaoming asked, "Are you Yuanyuan?"
"I'm Yuanyuan, who are you?" the girl asked innocently.
"I find… "
Gu Chaoming stopped and didn't say anything.
He didn't know what to call his mother to the little girl.
"I'm looking for your mother."
Saying these words, Gu Chaoming seemed to be missing something in his heart.
His mother was no longer his alone.
"My mother?"
Gu Chaoming heard that the phone was snatched away, the little girl called her mother over there, and an old woman's voice came: "Your son is looking for you."
It is the voice of a very strong old man, and it cannot be refuted.
Gu Chaoming felt that life on his mother's side was not easy either.
The phone was thrown on the bed, his mother picked it up, and Gu Chaoming finally heard his mother's familiar voice.
Just a few minutes, like walking around in an unfamiliar world.
His mother called him on the other end of the phone: "Chaoming."
"Well, Mom." Gu Chaoming responded.
"The one just now was Yuanyuan, the little daughter I told you about." Mom explained.
"I know, I just asked her." Gu Chaoming said.
Gu Chaoming cared more about the old man than Yuanyuan.
Gu Chaoming asked, "Who was that just now?"
Qu Yingyi gave a soft "um".
Gu Chaoming heard that the old lady just had a bad tone, and grabbed the phone directly from Yuanyuan's hand and threw it on the bed, as if he was afraid that he and Yuanyuan would have more to say.
Gu Chaoming remembered what Gu Tao said, "Your mother will take you there even if she can't handle it herself."
He asked his mother, "Mom, how is your life there?"
Mom obviously wanted to keep him from worrying, so she paused for a while and replied, "It's fine."
Gu Chaoming could tell as soon as he heard it: "Mom, you don't have to lie to your own son."
Mom sighed: "I didn't lie to you, it's good."
"What about him?" Gu Chaoming asked.
Gu Chaoming didn't know how to address that man in front of his mother.
your husband? that man
In the end, he just said that he was mother and son after all, and Qu Yingyi also understood who he was asking.
"He's at the company today and won't go home."
Gu Chaoming had only met that man once, but judging from the man's demeanor and his attitude towards his mother, he should have treated his mother well. Gu Chaoming didn't believe that his mother would be so ignorant of a person who treated him badly. But thinking of Gu Tao again, Gu Chaoming couldn't help overturning his previous thoughts.
Gu Chaoming still asked, "Is he good to you?"
Mom told the truth: "He is very good to me, but he has a bit of opinion on me."
Gu Chaoming knew that as soon as he heard the old lady's tone, there was a problem, and the mother-in-law relationship that her mother was worried about was still being staged.
Mom said again: "don't worry too much, she has a little opinion on me but she's also kind to me."
Gu Chaoming didn't know what to say, so his mother continued, "Don't worry about me, I can handle it myself, but it's you. Has your dad been at home recently? Didn't he beat you?"
Qu Yingyi still felt ashamed when she said it, she clearly promised to bring him here, but temporarily regretted it.
Gu Chaoming remembered what happened recently, and touched the half-wet towel on his head. He didn't tell his mother that he moved out, but just smiled: "He hasn't come back for many days."
Gu Chaoming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the mother on the phone, and worried that he was at home alone: "You are alone... How about I go home to see you and give you the money by the way."
Gu Chaoming was startled: "Why are you coming back? If you happen to bump into Gu Tao, he's sure to go crazy. That man has a fucking opinion on you. Even if you're divorced, don't get in touch with Gu Tao."
Gu Chaoming said this, there is some sincerity in it, and some against it, mixed together.
"Mom wants to see you. I haven't seen you for so long. Last time, my mother was not good. I said yes..." Qu Yingyi said ashamed.
Gu Chaoming was most afraid of her saying this, and he smiled and said, "Mom, you've turned your back on the old accounts again, don't talk about the past. If you want to see me, just call me, why do we have to stay at home? ?"
"Alright, but I have something to do tomorrow. You have to go to school the day after tomorrow, right?" Qu Yingyi said.
Gu Chaoming said "um": "Then next Sunday, okay?"
"Okay." Qu Yingyi agreed, and Gu Chaoming heard the old lady shouting from his mother's side: "Yuanyuan stop playing, what time is it, come to sleep."
Gu Chaoming also said: "Mom, it's getting late, I'll hang up first."
Before hanging up the phone, his mother kept telling him, "Take care of yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Chaoming sat alone in the large, empty living room. The living room where he hung up the phone was extraordinarily quiet, so quiet that Gu Chao was obviously a little lonely.
For the first time, he heard Yuanyuan's voice, and heard her call her mother, mother. Gu Chaoming didn't know how to describe that feeling. It was as if everything he had in the past had gone away from him, good and bad. Gu Tao, his mother, the only mother who loved him became someone else's mother. Gu Tao is still entangled.
Gu Chaoming felt that the living room of Su Bing's house was a bit empty, so Gu Chaoming took off the bath towel and prepared to go upstairs. Halfway through the towel, the phone in his hand suddenly lit up, Gu Chaoming raised it and saw that it was Lin Jianfan.
Gu Chaoming couldn't help laughing, seeing that Fan was always good at picking when to call him, and the last time was when he learned that his mother couldn't take him out of that house.
Lin Jianfan deserves to be a scholar, and finding him is a matter of study. They are the only ones who have maintained the study group in the class until now.
Gu Chaoming tore off the bath towel and walked to the upstairs study, took it for homework, spread out the book and replied to Lin Jianfan.
When encountering a math problem that he could not do, Gu Chaoming took a photo and asked him, Lin Jianfan made a voice answer, one by one, Gu Chaoming listened to his voice.
Lin Jianfan's voice spread in a night that was so quiet that it couldn't be quieter. Gu Chaoming remembered that night, in the sultry headgear, there were a lot of people's voices, and Lin Jianfan's voice came across the sea of people.
Loneliness and companionship were intertwined. Gu Chaoming was lying on the table without any motivation to do his homework. He just wanted to hear Lin Jianfan's voice and wanted Lin Jianfan to speak with him.
When Lin saw Fan's thoughts on solving the problem halfway through, Gu Chaoming couldn't help but pick up the phone and reply to him: "Your voice is so nice, has anyone told you?"
Lin Jianfan's voice message paused, apparently not being praised so suddenly and straightforwardly. Lin Jianfan was stunned for a while before continuing to send messages.
"No, you're the first," he said.
Gu Chaoming is very happy to be the first, no matter what the significance of this number one is, and no matter what benefits this number one can bring him, it is just the purest happiness and pride in his heart.
