Yu Hangwei's information came quickly.

On the bus home, Gu Chaoming grabbed the ring, and the phone in his pocket rang.

"Gu Shuai, what do you mean today?"

At the moment when he heard the prompt tone, Gu Chaoming thought it was Lin Jianfan, and the three words Yu Hangwei fell into his eyes. The joy in Gu Chaoming's eyes quickly fell like a meteor, and the disgust grew in his frowning brows.

The change happened in an instant. The crying child who was held by his mother on the seat in front of him stared at him with tears in his eyes for a while, and then frowned and bored Gu Chaoming for a second.

He may not be able to understand how a person can accomplish such a rapid change in a short period of time.

"It doesn't mean anything, just literally."

"That kid asked you to cover him?" Yu Hangwei asked, and after he asked, he sent another sentence: "Haha."

One that kid and one hehe, the irony can't be covered.

Faced with such a provocation, Gu Chaoming wanted to grab Yu Hangwei's collar across the screen, slap him a few times, and let him speak well.

This is too violent, and it is Gu Tao's behavior. Gu Chaoming knows that he has inherited it subconsciously and wants to use violence to solve the problem.

Don't be acquainted with dogs.

He didn't fluctuate much when others scolded him, he was an impregnable wall. However, as soon as he touches the person he cares about, Gu Chaoming's copper wall collapses, the iron wall melts, he loses his defenses, and there are weaknesses everywhere. A simple word can anger him.

This is true for the silent You Xin, and the same is true for Lin Jianfan.

Gu Chaoming couldn't resist cursing, and only replied to Yu Hangwei: "It has nothing to do with him, I said it myself. Don't look for him in the future."

"I got out of the car, I won't talk." Gu Chaoming hastily ended the conversation that made him want to swear. He didn't want to talk to Yu Hangwei too much, for fear that the more he talked, the more likely he would come out to fight.

He said to Yu Hangwei, "I got off the bus, let's not talk about it." In fact, the bus was still two or three stops away from the platform where he got off. After the information was sent, Gu Chaoming exited directly.

In the past few days, the mobile phone has been kept in hand every day, chatting with Lin Jianfan. Share with Lin Jianfan's own cooking skills, Lin Jianfan praised him, and he pretended to be embarrassed.

Lin Jianfan said, "I want to see how good your cooking is."

Gu Chaoming said humbly: "It's just so-so, a little better than eating."

"How much is a little better than being able to eat?" Lin Jianfan asked.

"You'll know when you eat it."

Unintentionally teasing the answer, the topic skewed in a direction that Gu Chaoming didn't expect.

After answering "you'll know after you eat it", Lin Jianfan said that he wanted to eat the dishes he made. Gu Chaoming said casually, "Come on, I'll do it for you."

Another word without thinking.

Lin Jianfan was also a serious person, and answered seriously, "Okay."

A good word made Gu Chaoming, who was sitting on the sofa, panicked, and quickly replied: "Don't come?"

"Don't come here, do you hear me?"

"It's far from your home, and there's no time for the exam soon."

Gu Chaoming hurriedly looked for various reasons to prevaricate, and asked Lin Jianfan not to come over.

He himself knew that these reasons were not fundamental, and the fundamental reason was Gu Tao, who was elusive. Gu Tao did not know when he would come back.

Since Gu Chaoming went to high school, he has only brought Su Bing and Cen Xili home, and only once happened to meet Gu Tao. Gu Chaoming couldn't make sure that Lin Jianfan came to his house only for an afternoon or a meal time and would not meet Gu Tao, and he couldn't make sure that if he happened to meet Gu Tao, he would be able to protect Lin Jianfan.

Gu Tao is a bit sensible if he doesn't drink. If he drinks alcohol, he can be as stubborn as a cow, and the curved and hard horns can burst your organs.

Gu Chaoming didn't dare to take this risk, so he kept rejecting it, rejecting it with repeated messages that he didn't want to come.

"It doesn't matter to me." After Gu Chaoming said a long line, Lin Jianfan answered only these five words.

"I'm fine."

The final punctuation mark is a period.

After chatting with him for so long, Gu Chaoming knew Lin Jianfan's habit. Like most people, he is generally without punctuation.

Punctuation marks indicate that the other party attaches importance to and confirms the sentence, and a full stop in a circle makes the whole sentence look solemn and solemn.

A full stop representing Lin Jianfan's attitude, Gu Chaoming's thoughts in his heart seemed to be seen through by Lin Jianfan all of a sudden.

"Don't come, I won't open the door for you when you come."

"Follow me home is a good idea, but you're bound to be locked out."

Liar, Gu Chaoming looked at the information he sent and evaluated himself.

Gu Chaoming knew that if Lin saw Fan following, he would definitely open the door for him, or pretend to have a lock on it. After entering the door, he seemed to be unable to bear his persistence and opened the door for him.

Thinking that he was still a little excited, Gu Chaoming lay on the sofa and smiled.

Imagination is imagination, just think about it, the chance of encountering Gu Tao is very small, but it is also very large, and it is possible at all times.

Gu Chaoming refused him righteously: "If you want to eat, next time I will make some other snacks to bring to school, or make you breakfast, okay?"

Well, very righteous and unselfish.

At the end, he added: "Are you satisfied? Little ancestor."

Full of ridicule, and under the ridicule, Gu Chaoming wanted to call him that.

"What do you want to eat?" Gu Chaoming asked, and added, "You can't bring soup and water."

"Then it's nothing, are you so harsh about ordering food?" Lin Jianfan said.

Gu Chaoming smiled: "It's not easy to enter the school gate with soup and water. I will pour me a bag of noodle soup later. There are also many people without soup, steamed buns, dumplings, sandwiches..."

"Don't talk about it, I'm hungry," Lin Jianfan said, "Then let's make buns."

Seeing the words "I'm hungry", Gu Chaoming subconsciously thought of Lin Jianfan's licking his lips. Instead of looking at the new news displayed on the phone screen, he turned to the corner of the living room, as if seeing himself in the crowd. The reaction of looking away from someone you like.

Gu Chaoming didn't realize this kind of reaction, but was first discovered by his elder brother who used to play with him when he was a child.

When the eldest brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time said that sentence, Gu Chaoming's eyes froze, and the expression on his face brightened, stiff and bright.

Later, Gu Chaoming thought that his expression at that time had already explained everything.

The eldest brother in the same community is Liu Yi.

Because of Gu Tao, there are always parents who tell their children not to let them interact with Gu Chaoming. At that time, Gu Chaoming was lonely and full of blood, and the children who were only six or seven years old immediately turned over the children who said that he would not play with him and that his father had something wrong.

With one punch, several children lay on the sand and cried while covering their injured faces.

Several people can't beat him. The consequences of the beating came quickly, and that night some parents led the injured child to their home to judge.

Qu Yingyi went out that morning and promised Gu Chaoming that he would come back at night, but Qu Yingyi hadn't come back when he started broadcasting his favorite cartoon.

At a young age, Gu Chaoming was bolder than the sky. Children were afraid of the dark, and he didn't even dare to go to the toilet without a light. However, Gu Chaoming was sitting on the sofa alone, pressing the remote control, and watching his favorite cartoons.

Not a single light was turned on in the living room, only the light of the TV covered Gu Chaoming's tender face.

Halfway through, there was a hurried slap outside the door, and the door panel slapped loudly.

Gu Chaoming knew that it was definitely not Qu Yingyi. Qu Yingyi would not knock on the door like this, nor would he without a key.

The hurried and impatient knocks on the door sounded like drums. He was the only one at home, and Gu Tao didn't come back after he went out. Gu Chaoming trotted over and opened the door by himself.

When I opened the door, I saw a group of people standing at the door. Even the moonlight outside the door was blocked by them, and it could only leak into their faces through their gaps.

Gu Chaoming let go of the door handle, raised his head, and watched the adult who was much taller than him.

The dark night and the pale moonlight put makeup on them, turning them into the female ghosts in the horror chapter who painted their whole bodies.

Each of them looked bad, and even contempt was written on their faces, holding their "little devils" by their hands.

If there is always a scene in childhood that you can't forget, then Gu Chaoming must be now, like the scene of "Hundred Ghosts Walk in the Night".

Gu Chaoming is not afraid of the dark, he is afraid of people walking in the dark.

One of the female ghosts took the lead and asked, "Where's your mother?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that the visitor was not good, and he was here to collect debts.

"My mother isn't home."

There is a wall of female ghosts outside the door, and the little Gu Chaoming is like a human being driven to a dead end by them.

Outside the door is a ghost, and the door frame has become Gu Chaoming's protector, as if they can't get in without this door.

The leading female ghost turned her head and glanced at her companions behind. For her son, the female ghost spoke again: "Your dad..."

Gu Chaoming quickly said in front of her: "My dad is sleeping inside, he is drunk, do you want to find him?"

Gu Chaoming lied, Gu Tao has been away from home for many days. A child of his own would definitely not be able to resist so many adults. Gu Chaoming hoped to use Gu Tao's lies at home to scare them away.

The female ghosts don't know if what he said is true or not, but they all know that Gu Tao is prone to go mad when he is drunk, and he beats people when he goes mad. I don't want my children to see the scene of Gu Tao beating, don't let my children see it and be frightened.

No one suggested to go to Gu Tao for evaluation, and it was useless to ask Gu Tao to evaluate. After a drink, you won't be sober anywhere.

When some parents saw that Qu Yingyi was not at home, Gu Tao couldn't make any sense with him, so they decided to leave and wait for Qu Yingyi to come back to discuss.

Seeing that they were leaving, Gu Chaoming thought they had escaped.

One of them was a woman who was big and three thick, with a fat face hanging down, tossing her full of fat, took his little chubby, squeezed through the crowd in front, walked to Gu Chaoming and stood still, took the little chubby hand to Gu Chaoming Look.

It was full of meat, and there was an obvious tooth mark on the arm thicker than lotus root, which did not disappear until the evening, showing how hard the bite was.

The mother felt distressed, pointed at the teeth marks and asked Gu Chaoming threateningly: "Did you bite this?"

Gu Chaoming looked at the scar and said confidently, "What if I bit it? He scolded me and my dad first."

The voice is sonorous, stating the facts. The reason for the fight is very simple. In the afternoon, Gu Chaoming passed by the sand in the community. When several children playing in the sand saw him, they began to laugh at Gu Chaoming as their parents said.

Gu Chaoming has never been patient since he was a child.

As soon as the sonorous voice fell, there was a hot and crisp slap on his face.

The night was too dark to see clearly, and the burning pain on his face was hotter than the noon sun.

Gu Chaoming bit his lower lip, his small chest heaved up and down, and his anger was suppressed inside.

Don't cry, Gu Chaoming thought, what's the use of crying, it will only make them bully you even more.

Gu Chaoming raised his head and glared at the fat woman who beat him. The woman next to him saw the situation and rushed to persuade the woman who beat him.

"Why beat a child? His parents are not here, you can't justify hitting him."

"At that time, be careful of his family's rake, saying that you will beat his son first."

"Don't say that Qu Yingyi is not easy to deal with at first glance. His son is so tough, what kind of good children can such a family teach."

A few people persuaded, completely ignoring the unclosed door, Gu Chaoming was still listening, and the voices that slandered Qu Yingyi swayed and attacked Gu Chaoming's ears under the shelter of the night, his chest rose and fell faster, and the expression on his entire face All wrinkled together in anger.

"Such a young child left him and Gu Tao alone at home, this mother should go out and engage with men." The woman also laughed and discussed gossip.

In the corridor where the lights were broken, a small figure ran past. There was a sudden tingling in the drooping arm, and the woman screamed, frightened like a ghost.

The pain in her arm made the woman hurriedly throw her hand away, pushing Gu Chaoming with her hand, but if she couldn't push it, she switched to beating with her hand.

The brilliance of the moon gave a silvery white to the lightless aisle powder. Gu Chaoming clenched his teeth tightly and did not let go. He could feel that he had bitten into the flesh, his teeth were sinking in, and there was a hint of blood.

Other women came to help. Some children were crying, some were making trouble, and some were laughing at the farce.

Several women mingled together, with a biting child in the middle, letting them push and pull, but Gu Chaoming wouldn't let go.

The fist that hit him was painful, but he was able to hold it back. What he couldn't tolerate was the comments they made about their mother, that was slander!

Gu Chaoming bit her wholeheartedly, desperately and earnestly, only biting her in his mind, and saliva flowed from his wide open mouth.

The boy's shout came from the stairs, but Gu Chaoming completely ignored it.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Liu Yi came downstairs and shouted in shock.

The crowd made no sound to his shouting, Liu Yi hurriedly ran down the stairs, opened the crowd, and revealed Gu Chaoming, who was biting someone else's hand.

"Mingming?" Liu Yi was even more surprised when he saw Gu Chaoming who was biting.

Obviously, Liu Yi gave him a nickname, and he said that the children he knew in the community were all called double characters.

Liu Yi came to a friend's house to play, and when he went home and went down the stairs, he saw this chaotic group of people under the moonlight, including his mother and his younger brother.

It wasn't Liu Yi's mother who was bitten, it was the woman downstairs downstairs. Liu Yi didn't know what was going on at all, so he ran down and pulled the crowd away, letting Gu Chaoming relax.

As soon as he heard someone call him Mingming, Gu Chaoming knew that it must be Liu Yi. Gu Chaoming still refused to let go, his eyes were as fierce as a cheetah, and his mouth was holding his fat.

Gu Chaoming bit her so hard that the woman who was bitten was so painful that she burst into tears.

This kick happened to be seen by Qu Yingyi who went upstairs to go home.

Qu Yingyi is gentle by nature, and her clothes are mostly light-colored. Seeing someone kicking Gu Chaoming, she turned into a heroic female warrior, stepped on high heels, strode over, and gave the woman a kick.

The woman who was kicked scolded in pain, Qu Yingyi had never been so violent.

When Gu Chaoming heard Qu Yingyi's voice, he immediately released the woman who was bitten by him and oozing blood, and threw himself into Qu Yingyi's arms.

Qu Yingyi touched his head to comfort him and took him home. Several women still wanted to stop their mothers, but Liu Yi persuaded them to come down, and some who refused to accept it cursed at the closed door.

"The whole family is sick."

Inside the door, Gu Chaoming was holding Qu Yingyi's flower-printed skirt, and all the tears he shed were wiped on the beautiful flower skirt. Qu Yingyi put the bag on the sofa, she didn't speak, and when Gu Chaoming was tired from crying and sobbed, only choked up and couldn't cry, Qu Yingyi asked him softly: "Why bite? "

Gu Chaoming's small hand wiped tears on his face: "They scold you, so I will bite them, no one can scold you."

No one can scold you.

Qu Yingyi was slammed into pieces by Gu Chaoming's immature and crying words that had not changed his voice.

She didn't say "no biting in the future", "it's wrong for you to do this", "it's okay for mom, don't bite for mom's sake".

She just stretched out her arms to hug Gu Chaoming, who was crying, and hugged her son, her protector, her little man.

After this incident, several families broke down completely, and the children were not pleasing to the eye when they walked all the way, and it was common for a few quarrels to fight.

At that time, Liu Yi was in high school, and they were not in the same school, but the road to school was the same. Liu Yi went to and from school, and when they fought, he would go up to stop them.

After stopping, his younger brother and his companions went crazy, he would buy a green good mood at the roadside canteen and hand it to Gu Chaoming.

Liu Yi represents green in Gu Chaoming's world, the color of mung bean ice in summer.

Three years later, Gu Chaoming's childhood green left the city and went to another city to study at a university, and the city where he was studying at a university was developing. Except for the New Year and the festival, it was difficult for Gu Chaoming to see him again.

Until today, the day after chatting with Lin Jianfan and promising to bring him breakfast on Monday.

Gu Chaoming carried the purchased preparation materials on his way home.

"Mingming?" Someone called him from behind. Gu Chaoming turned his head, he knew the voice - Green is in a good mood, brother Liu Yi.

Gu Chaoming held the ingredients in one hand and put the other in his pocket. Recently, the temperature has dropped very sharply. It is almost overnight into the winter, and the temperature drops directly.

The hand without gloves walked all the way with the bag, the temperature was stolen by the cold air, Gu Chaoming curled his cold fingers, turned around, and sure enough it was him.

Liu Yi was dragging a gray suitcase, the wheels of the suitcase rattling on the cement-paved path. Liu Yi was wearing leather gloves and a black coat while dragging the suitcase. The pants that were a bit thin in this weather didn't look like winter gear.

The gray scarf around Liu Yi's neck was tied into a scarf-like shape, his hair was also ruffled by the wind, and his face was a little red from walking in the wind.

Liu Yi dragged the box, trotted slightly to Gu Chaoming's side, and walked with him.

Sixteen-year-old Liu Yi didn't listen to the words of his parents not to have contact with the Gu Chaoming family. Instead, he took more care of this biting brother.

Liu Yi often goes home with this younger brother who is eating green and in a good mood, and talks to him.

One tall and one short, two popsicles, walking home. The same is true now, only the heights are reversed.

Long time no see, no need to greet him, Liu Yi looked at him and the first thing he said was: "Have you grown taller again?"

"Is there?" Gu Chaoming asked.

"My soles are still a little taller, but you weren't that tall last year," Liu Yi said.

Gu Chaoming smiled: "I'm still young and have a long body."

Liu Yi almost wanted to cover his chest: "Old brother like us won't grow anymore."

A cold winter wind blew, Liu Yi shrank into the scarf, saw Gu Chaoming's frozen red hand holding the plastic bag, took off the glove of the hand that he didn't drag the suitcase, and handed it to Gu Chaoming.

"Put it on, it's cold, don't get chilblains." When he took the gloves, he heard the word chilblain. The only person Gu Chaoming thought of was Lin Jianfan, and he had no place at the same table in his junior high school who had been fighting chilblains for many years. .

Lin Jianfan is the button that makes Gu Chaoming happy and smile. As soon as he mentioned the words next to Lin Jianfan, no matter how many tens of thousands of miles there were, he could find them in one somersault.

Fingers are inserted/inserted into the gloves with Liu Yi Yuwen, and the inside of the gloves has soft fluff.

The cold was abandoned, and the smile in Gu Chaoming's heart climbed to the corner of his mouth.

Liu Yi glanced at him: "I didn't expect the temperature to drop so much."

"It cooled down a few days ago, it's cold, and it snows every year," Gu Chaoming felt that he was wearing too thin as soon as he saw Liu Yi, "Why do you wear so little?"

"I can't help it, I came back directly from a business trip, and I didn't bring anything, I could only be cold." Liu Yi said.

"How long are you staying this time?" Gu Chaoming asked.

"About three or four days. One day is enough. Anyway, it's fine. It's good to rest at home for a few more days." Liu Yi said.

"You guys are about to finish school, aren't you?" Liu Yi asked again, a question that a big brother would ask.

"Not yet, there is no final exam yet." Gu Chaoming said.

Liu Yi nodded: "But this New Year's Eve is very early, so you should have an early holiday. You should be able to have a winter vacation soon after Christmas, right?"

Gu Chaoming hummed.

Gu Chaoming is now in the same high school that Liu Yi was in, so he talked about studying and mentioned Christmas. Liu Yi said, "The girls in our class didn't know what to do other than giving apples and candy for Christmas. It is also popular to send paper cranes. All the girls in the class fold paper cranes in class, so I don’t know if our class is the only one. Do you still fold them now?”

Gu Chaoming shook his head.

Liu Yi laughed: "Then do you think you will receive a present for Christmas this year? Or for whom?"

Sudden emotional problems, Gu Chaoming suddenly rang the bell in his heart.

The name Lin Jianfan jumped out at once, and was pressed down by Gu Chaoming, and it jumped out and pressed down again. Gu Chaoming wondered if there was a spring bed underneath. The more he tried to suppress it, the higher the name Lin Jianfan jumped.

"No one sent me, and no one wanted to send it." Gu Chaoming replied against his will.

"No? Don't be so sure," Liu Yi said in disbelief. "No one can confess to such a handsome and tall boy?"

"No." Gu Chaoming smiled.

"You don't want to tell me." Liu Yi said.

"I was guessed by you, I don't want to tell you." Gu Chaoming smiled along the way.

Liu Yi looked at the child's naughty look, "Then have you agreed? Or do you already have a girlfriend?"

Gu Chaoming raised his eyebrows and quickly shook his head: "No, no, nothing at all."

"That must be because there is someone you like," Liu Yi continued, "I just saw that you were in such a good mood, and you giggled from time to time. Who are you thinking of?"

Gu Chaoming's eyes lit up at this moment.

Lin Jianfan's name was beating in his heart again.

Liu Yi approached him and asked him, "Which little girl do you think of? In a blink of an eye, you are already at the age of falling in love. I think I was only your age back then."

Lin Jianfan kept jumping in his head, but Gu Chaoming still said: "No, there is nothing, I have to study hard now, I won't think about those things, learning makes me happy! By the way, I just thought about it. That girl is called study!"

Gu Chaoming made Liu Yi laugh with a serious look.

"You are too cute," Liu Yi smiled. "Be good, study is your girl, you must treat her well."

"I will, I will."

Liu Yi chuckled, looking at Gu Chaoming's tough profile, the hair on the temples was extremely short, even if he said righteously that learning was his girl, the corners of his mouth still evoked because he thought about his crush.

Liu Yi thought to himself that he was still a young man, and he still looked so young when he mentioned the person he liked.

The author has something to say: Don't worry, Liu Yi is just a big brother who helps and guides Gu Chaoming, not Bai Yueguang when he was a child
