Presence

Chapter 70

It was gray outside the window, like a picture of stars on an old TV.

Gu Chaoming looked out of the window habitually. The night light outside the window passed by. It was cold in winter and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

The air conditioner in the car was turned on to the point of being a little stuffy, and Gu Chaoming's padded jacket showed a little blue and white collar of the school uniform. Leaving under the tree where the leaves had fallen, Gu Chaoming was only wearing the thin school uniform he had worn during the fight. Lin Jian Fan was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he insisted on putting on his cotton clothes.

Putting on the padded jacket, the collar of the school uniform inside the padded jacket was turned up. Lin Jianfan reached out and squeezed the turned up collar of the school uniform, and carefully stuffed the collar of the school uniform into Gu Chaoming's padded jacket.

His fingers touched the skin on his neck slightly, Gu Chaoming inhaled unnaturally and held it, as if he was soaking in the bathtub and pinching his nose to hold his breath, if his nose loosened, he would drown.

Gu Chaoming also raised his hand to straighten his collar. He didn't know whether it was intentional or accidental, but the fingers that were sorting the collar touched Lin Jianfan's fingers that had not been removed.

When his fingers touched, Gu Chaoming was never the one who flinched. Facing the strange gazes of others, he directly returned them with more vicious eyes. Facing Lin Jianfan's finger that he touched, Lin Jianfan moved away silently, and Gu Chaoming pretended to follow him unintentionally.

Where the skin touched, a small spark burst out all the way in the gradually darkening air.

Lin Jian Fan silently withdrew his hand, and Gu Chaoming chased after him. Before Lin Jianfan put his hand down, he grabbed Lin Jianfan's palm with a proud smile of victory in a child's game: "I got it."

When the bus stopped, Gu Chaoming got off the bus, raised his hands and sorted out the unturned collar of the school uniform again, with the smile on Su Bing's face that he laughed at before.

The street lights were already on. Gu Chaoming stepped into the community and did not go home directly. He stopped downstairs of his unit as usual and looked up at his window.

The windows were as bright as street lamps.

The light in the house only lights one window, and the lit windows are unremarkable in the windows that are lit up one after another on winter nights. The light was light and seemed to have no weight, but it was like a heavy hammer, smashing all of Gu Chaoming's good moods with a single hammer.

Gu Chaoming stood silently downstairs like a stone sculpture for a long time, looking at the lit window upstairs and the trace of the man upstairs returning.

Stepping on the small stones on the concrete floor of the community, the stones rubbed against the ground and the soles of the shoes. The winter night was not windy, but it was cold. Gu Chaoming wanted to go upstairs to escape the cold, but he didn't know how to face Gu Tao who suddenly came back.

Gu Tao suddenly treated him kindly, but Gu Chaoming couldn't accept it, nor could he accept his incompetence. The meager hundred dollars and the concern for the incompetent can't heal the pits left in Gu Chaoming's heart over the past seventeen years.

Once something is left, it will never be filled.

Gu Chaoming didn't know whether he should accept it or avoid it as before. Before he could accept it, Gu Tao had already forgotten him outside the door.

Shouldn't I give him another chance.

Gu Chaoming indifferently kicked away the stones crushed by the soles of his shoes, but he turned around but couldn't help but look back at the brightly lit window.

forget it.

The cold winter night chilled Gu Chaoming's heart.

Gu Chaoming just wished to have a home as warm as the light from the window.

Too difficult, too difficult, Gu Chaoming turned and walked towards the lighted canteen.

Gu Chaoming did not bury his loneliness in his secret inner forest as usual. He took out his mobile phone to unlock it and sent a message to Lin Jianfan.

"Xueba, are you home yet?"

When Lin Jianfan chatted with him, he could always have Su Bing's ability to reply in seconds. As soon as the news was sent out, Gu Chaoming received a reply from Lin Jianfan.

"Here, how about you?"

"Just got home."

Look, he's not alone.

In the cold winter night, the lighted screen is the spring of Gu Chaoming's winter night.

The sun is warm, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the spring hills are smiling.

Blossoming.

Fingers fluttered on the screen, the corners of his mouth always twitched when he saw the name displayed on the screen, and his legs moved towards the direction of the canteen.

Gu Chaoming focused on replying to Lin Jianfan's news, but did not notice the shadow trotting towards the canteen dragging winter slippers.

Walking quickly to the entrance of the commissary, when he heard the sound of slippers running, Gu Chaoming raised his head from the phone screen, looked at the source of the sound, and used the light of the phone screen to approach the person, hoping to see who it was.

A semi-familiar figure stopped in front of Gu Chaoming, who only saw him after school. But I haven't seen him much this semester, because I'm not in the same school, the two families have no contact, and they don't say hello when they live in the same community.

Seeing who was coming, Gu Chaoming thought about it and ignored him as before. After putting down his phone, he opened the iron door of the canteen and opened the curtain to walk in.

The commissary is tightly closed, and the heating and second-hand smoke have nowhere to go. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the backlog of second-hand smoke in the heating. Secondhand smoke lingers in the heating, fighting.

"Yo, two handsome guys are here."

"Chaoming, your dad is back today." Aunt Cheng said, pulling the plastic chair behind the counter.

Seeing the light upstairs, Gu Chaoming knew that Gu Tao was back. Gu Chaoming only responded and asked, "Does he have any credit?"

Aunt Cheng waved her hand and said, "No, I gave it all."

Did you really give it this time? Gu Chaoming asked again in disbelief, but Aunt Cheng still answered "Yes".

It is also unusual for Gu Tao not to take credit. Even if he was rich in the past, if he could make Gu Chaoming pay, Gu Tao would definitely not pay by himself.

Since Gu Tao didn't take credit, Gu Chaoming didn't have to pay back the money. Gu Chaoming didn't want to go home, so he looked on the shelves of the canteen to see what he wanted to buy.

"Zhou Han came to buy cigarettes for your father again?" Aunt Cheng opened the cabinet door and skillfully took out a pack of cigarettes.

Since he just met Gu Chaoming outside the grocery store, Zhou Han has been paying attention to the famous "neuropathy like his father" in their community.

When Aunt Cheng asked him, Zhou Han was staring at Gu Chaoming in front of the shelf.

"Yeah, the old way."

Gu Chaoming bought something casually and opened the door of the canteen. Zhou Han, who was standing beside the container, saw that Gu Chaoming was about to leave, and hurriedly said to Aunt Cheng, "Aunt Cheng, I'll go first", and quickly caught up with Gu Chaoming in front of him. .

Breathing in the first cold wind in the winter night outside, he lowered the curtain and opened the iron door. Zhou Han stopped him.

"Gu Chaoming."

Hearing the sound, Gu Chaoming turned to look at Zhou Han behind him and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chaoming asked calmly in the dark night.

Don't look at his face too clearly, his tone has revealed his indifference.

"... uh... uh" Zhou Han shook his head, "It's okay."

"If it's okay, I'll go first." Gu Chaoming turned around and wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he turned around again and said to Zhou Han, who was standing not far away, "I still have to thank you today and speak for me."

Gu Chaoming didn't know Zhou Han, and Zhou Han also didn't know much about him. Zhou Han's understanding of Gu Chaoming came from his parents who advised him to stay away from Gu Chaoming, and from the miscellaneous words of his neighbors. Gu Chaoming only regarded Zhou Han as a child who had fought when he was a child. He didn't expect that he would still speak for himself today. Gu Chaoming thought about it and said thank you.

Zhou Han smiled a little embarrassedly and scratched his head: "It's okay, it's okay."

Except that it's okay, Zhou Han didn't know what else to answer.

After Gu Chaoming finished speaking, he turned around, and Zhou Han who was behind him stopped him again.

The wind blew the leaves, and Gu Chaoming felt a hint of coldness. He inserted his hand into the pocket of his padded jacket and asked Zhou Han, who stopped him again: "Are you okay?"

Zhou Han didn't know where to start, nodded and said, "I have something to tell you."

"And me?"

Gu Chaoming was puzzled after hearing this. A person who hadn't spoken for a few years and was a stranger suddenly had something to say to you one night.

"Let's focus on it, it's cold outside."

"Then go to the corridor and talk." Zhou Han suggested.

"It's done." The corridor is sheltered from the wind and is always warmer.

Gu Chaoming walked to his unit building with a plastic bag, Zhou Han followed behind.

Walking into the corridor, Gu Chaoming stood at the foot of the stairs and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Han, who walked into the corridor, didn't organize his language well, and didn't know what he wanted to express. He only knew that there were some things he needed to say to Gu Chaoming.

"Uh... That's right, my mother said that the two of us seemed to fight when we were young?" Zhou Han asked.

Gu Chaoming glanced at Zhou Han in the unlit corridor with strange eyes.

"I did, what's wrong? Want to ask me to confirm?" Gu Chaoming asked.

Zhou Han looked "I don't mean that": "It's not a confirmation, just, I don't remember too much..."

It turned out that the night of "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk", which represented the shadow of childhood, that he would never forget in his heart, had been washed away by the waves in other people's memories, and even his body had been swept into the deepest part of the sea.

A scar on one's own body is just a leaf in the world of others. It is insignificant and need not be remembered.

Gu Chaoming raised his lips and chuckled: "So what?"

"So?" Zhou Han's temporary organization was able to express his vague thoughts.

"I also listened to my mother when I was a child. He said that if I don't let me play with you, I can't play with you. In fact, I don't have much memory of the fight with you when I was a child, so I saw you on the road. What a feeling of hatred and resentment."

"But sometimes when I see you on the road, I can only pretend that I didn't see you, and I always feel a little uncomfortable. When I go home and listen to my mother about you, I feel a little sorry. In fact, sometimes I also want to be your friend, The kind of friend who can say hello even on the road. You remember when you were young, maybe I really did something bad when I was young, but I forgot, but I don’t have any hostility towards you now, so I don’t want to have such a vague ambiguity between us. estrangement."

"I think it would be better to say it." Zhou Han finally said.

Zhou Han didn't know what his thoughts were, but every time he met Gu Chaoming, he was obviously in the same community and had known each other for so many years, only seeing him was like seeing a stranger. Zhou Han didn't have any previous stories in his heart, so he felt bad about it.

After listening to a long paragraph of Zhou Han expressing his thoughts, Gu Chaoming couldn't help looking down at the ground.

Looking at the pitch-dark ground, Gu Chaoming smiled and said, "I thought you were going to say something, just stop me?"

Gu Chaoming seemed to smile disdainfully, but also seemed relaxed.

No one knew his pretense and helplessness.

It's not that he was at a loss like Lin Jianfan, he just didn't know how to answer if an apology didn't look like an apology and an explanation didn't look like an explanation in the face of Zhou Han.

When he needs to use his lip service ability, his mouth can only escape the emotions that should be expressed positively.

Zhou Han didn't know how to accurately express the feeling of regret in his heart, and Gu Chaoming didn't know how to describe how he felt after hearing Zhou Han's words.

Xu Shi has grown up, and his heart has been hardened by the eyes of others.

Zhou Han's remarks were not the boulder that shook Gu Chaoming's world, but it was by no means the dust that blew away. Zhou Han's words were a drop of water, seeping into the forest in Gu Chaoming's heart.

"After that, I'll go up." Gu Chaoming carried the plastic bag with a faint feather-like joy in his heart.

"Well, you go up, we are friends now, next time I say hello to you, you must answer." Zhou Han said.

"Row."

Putting his hands in his pockets, he went upstairs. Before he went to the first floor, Zhou Han stopped him again when he walked to the corner.

"Gu Chaoming."

"What's the matter?" Gu Chaoming stopped at the corner of the stairs and looked at Zhou Han who could be seen clearly by the night light in the dark corridor.

Zhou Han opened his mouth and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Lin Jianfan?"

Gu Chaoming left an unexplained smile at Zhou Han who asked the question, smiled without answering, and disappeared around the corner.

Zhou Han imitated Gu Chaoming's smile in the corridor and smiled: "What does this mean?"

In the early morning of the second day after the fight with Yu Hangwei, Gu Chaoming felt that it was a bit strange today. The classmates always wanted to ask whether or not to ask, just holding back and secretly watching him.

Bewildered by the baptism of the eyes of the classmates, he walked into the classroom, Gu Chaoming first glanced at Lin Jianfan's seat, and Lin Jianfan sat in the seat peacefully.

After saying hello to Lin Jianfan and sitting down to start a day of serious study, the final exam is approaching, and the Christmas that Liu Yi talked about when he met Liu Yi also came quietly.

This week happens to be Sunday.

Gu Chaoming saw the word Merry Christmas while doing English cloze, and looked up at Lin Jianfan, who was also doing his homework diligently across several tables.

Christmas? Gu Chaoming looked at Lin Jianfan's back.

After the first class in the morning, Gu Chaoming finally knew why the class was surrounded by a strange atmosphere today.

Yu Hangwei's leg kicked by him yesterday was still not easy, and he walked forward in an awkward posture. I don't know if it was ice compress or some emergency measures, but the redness and swelling on my face disappeared overnight. Being beaten yesterday, Yu Hangwei didn't want his tragic situation to be spread, so he dragged his legs and pretended to be okay.

It seems to have stopped.

Yu Hangwei didn't want the tragic situation of his being beaten to spread, and tried to maintain his normal appearance, as if nothing had happened, but someone did not let him go. You passed me the story of him being beaten by Gu Chaoming one night, and I passed it on. Here you go, spread it throughout the class. What I didn't know last night, I can find out by listening to the chat in class this morning.

Gu Chaoming only knew when others came to ask him. Gu Chaoming naturally became the first person Yu Hangwei suspected of spreading his ugliness, but he was afraid of being beaten yesterday and did not dare to be more rigid. The first person Gu Chaoming suspected was Wu Shan. Wu Shan's mouth that can't be sewed can be shaken off with three buttons. His mouth is much more daring than his body.

I must have struggled for a long time yesterday. I was afraid of being beaten, and at the same time I couldn't help breaking the news. I couldn't help secretly telling Yu Hangwei's beating. Gu Chaoming felt that people who watched without tinted glasses would definitely doubt Wu Shan, but looking at Yu Hangwei, a pig's brain and fish memory, he must have been kept in the dark by Wu Shan's rhetoric, thinking that he was showing off in class.

Gu Chaoming didn't care about things that he didn't care about, and he didn't give him a single thought. If Yu Hangwei makes trouble again, it will just repeat what happened yesterday.

After learning that Gu Chaoming didn't go home with them yesterday to answer Yu Hangwei's contract, and beat Yu Hangwei to the bottom of his head, Su Bing came over for a cross-examination and boasted after the cross-examination.

"You are venting your anger for the whole class." Su Bing said.

Gu Chaoming didn't think about venting his anger to the whole class. At that time, he only thought about how to keep Yu Hangwei away from Lin Jianfan in a civilized manner.

If you want a civilized solution, in the end, violence is used.

"Your news is slow. You were not very proficient in news before, so you only know now?" Gu Chaoming patted Su Bing who was standing at the table with the back of his hand.

"I didn't study hard." Su Bing said.

"Don't make drafts when you tell lies, and don't be afraid of bullshitting when you brag."

"Go away, wait for my final exam, let you see my true strength, then don't cry and beg me to be your father."

"Just you?" Gu Chaoming raised his eyes to look at Su Bing in his seat, full of disbelief and waiting for you to make a fool of yourself at the end of the term.

"Why, you still look down on me? Tell you, I'm a future scholar." Su Bing said.

"The student in your dreams, I advise you to dream more realistically. People always say 'I'm not a student' or something, but it's not like you, you talk about 'I'm a student' all day long, and you can't wait for it all. The world knows that you are a scholar."

Su Bing snorted disdainfully: "Don't pretend to me, who doesn't know who you are thinking when you say you are a real scholar."

Gu Chaoming raised his eyes and glanced at Su Bing: "Go away, don't talk nonsense."

Su Bing snickered when I saw you, and put his arm on Gu Chaoming's shoulder: "This Sunday is Christmas, do you two have any plans?"

Su Bing had acquiesced that he and Lin Jianfan were together, and Gu Chaoming gave Su Bing a "go away" smile.

Su Bing insisted on disdain: "Yo yo yo, the spring of the lonely old man is here."

Gu Chaoming finally couldn't stand Su Bing's playful and amusing play, and a book covered his face.

Su Bing also said pitifully: "Gu Shuai bullied me, I'm going to report to Zhen Xueba."

Saying that, Su Bing ran into the corridor from the back door of the classroom.

Lin Jianfan was called by Lao Chen to the office to talk, but he hasn't come back. Gu Chaoming turned around and shouted at Su Bing, "You come back to me!"

Following Su Bing out of the classroom, ready to grab him for a "lesson", Su Bing watched Gu Chaoming chase out and run away. Seeing Cen Xili returning from the toilet in the corridor, Su Bing ran behind Cen Xili: "Xili, ask for support, protect me quickly, Gu Shuai bullies others."

Cen Xili was helpless like an old mother with two silly sons whose minds and heights did not match.

"Xili, get out of the way." Gu Chaoming said to Cen Xili.

Su Bing resorted to the trick that he used to deceive people, pointing behind Gu Chaoming: "True scholar!"

"You want to lie to me again."

Gu Chaoming didn't believe him until he had "experienced in a hundred battles", and it was not until Cen Xili nodded to him with certainty that Gu Chaoming turned his head.

Su Bing didn't lie to him this time, Lin Jianfan came out of the office door and was about to walk to his class.

When Gu Chaoming saw Lin Jianfan's mouth, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he waved at Lin Jianfan to let him come over.

After Lin Jianfan came out of the office, his footsteps were not light, and his eyes did not have the same look in his eyes when Gu Chaoming greeted him in the morning. They waved their hands so enthusiastically, Lin Jianfan picked up his smile and waved his hand slightly to indicate that he was not coming.

"This... why does he feel a little weird?" Su Bing looked at the empty back door of the classroom after Lin Jianfan entered, and then looked at Gu Chaoming whose smile gradually disappeared.

"Don't think about it." Cen Xi patted Gu Chaoming's shoulder.

In the past, Lin Jianfan would definitely trot over to join his camp with a bright smile, but now Lin Jianfan just refused to enter the classroom, Gu Chaoming felt that his heart was empty, something was missing, it was not normal.

Gu Chaoming was disappointed in one class, he held the fountain pen in his fingers to copy the notes, and his eyes turned more and more towards Lin Jianfan, as if he could get the answer why Lin Jianfan ignored him after a few more glances.

I peeked a few times in class, and even the class teacher walked over to the desk and knocked on his desk to ask a warning.

Gu Chaoming, who was reminded, listened carefully while poking at the textbook with a pen, leaving many irregularly distributed black spots on the textbook.

"How about you have some sesame seeds?" Cen Xili watched as he sprinkled a piece of "sesame seeds" on his textbook.

Gu Chaoming didn't ask Cen Xi why Lilin Jianfan was suddenly so indifferent to them. It's not cold. People just rejected you. Is that cold

Gu Chaoming ordered sesame seeds on the textbook by himself, looked at Lin Jianfan who was listening carefully to the class, and then turned to look at Cen Xili who was also listening to the class attentively. He remembered hearing from the class in the morning that he had been with Yu Hang after school yesterday. great thing.

"I see!"

Gu Chaoming stopped ordering sesame seeds, as if the famous detective Conan had obtained the main evidence and figured out the modus operandi.

Gu Chaoming shouted "I know" in a low voice, startling Cen Xili, who was listening carefully to the class.

Cen Xili asked quietly, "Gu Shuai, what do you know?"

Gu Chaoming's absent-minded and lost expression disappeared in one lesson, and it all turned into a sweet smile on his lips and in his pupils.

Gu Chaoming held a peach-flavored candy in his heart, and the sweetness emanated from every pore on his body.

"When did you and Gu Chaoming get along so well?"

After the run between classes, Lin Jianfan went upstairs with Li Zhao and Liu Xiaopang. Liu Xiaopang was well-informed and heard about Gu Chaoming and Yu Hangwei yesterday. 's answer.

"I have nothing to do with him." Lin Jianfan said.

In the winter, the cold wind poured into the crowded stairs, and the cold wind had to give way. Lin Jianfan's tone seemed to be dissatisfied with the cold wind and gave way, thinking that it was too hot around him, and one sentence froze the atmosphere around him.

Going upstairs and shoving, the cold winter wind lingering over the crowd brought a cough from Gu Chaoming behind him.

Gu Chaoming, Su Bing, and Cen Xili were walking behind Lin Jianfan. They wanted to go up to say hello, but heard what Lin Jianfan said.

Su Bing's "Don't be sad, Lin Jianfan definitely didn't mean that" was ready to be said, but Gu Chaoming, as if he didn't hear what Lin Jianfan said, stretched out his hand to grab Lin Jianfan's hat, and said lazily, "I I'm tired of walking, let me pull it."

Several people didn't know what was going on with these two people. The four pairs of eyes looked at each other and I looked at you, each with an "I don't know" expression.

He kept pulling Lin Jianfan's cotton-padded hat upstairs. As the flow of people scattered upstairs, the number of people around gradually decreased and the space expanded. Gu Chaoming naturally moved from Lin Jianfan's hat to Lin Jianfan's shoulders as usual.

Yu Hangwei sat in his seat and saw Gu Chaoming holding Lin Jianfan into the classroom, pretending not to see it.

Several people were surprised by the strange way that Lin Jianfan and Gu Chaoming got along for a while, and when Gu Chaoming was doing his homework in his seat after eating, he also felt that it could not go on like this.

He chooses what he finds the quickest and most useful—buying yogurt.

Throwing down the pen, under Cen Xili's "where to go?" question, Gu Chaoming dropped the sentence "commissary" and ran out from the back door of the classroom.

I specifically remembered the yogurt that Lin Jianfan mentioned in the supermarket last time. After buying the yogurt at the canteen, I didn't expect to meet Lin Jianfan who was walking on the road.

Lin Jianfan walked in front alone, Gu Chaoming watched his back quietly walk over, tried not to make a sound, and patted him on the shoulder to tease him.

The wind and trees moved by the roadside, Lin Jianfan turned his head to see no one, and then turned back to see a bottle of yogurt, which was carried by a big hand.

Lin Jianfan looked at the big hands holding the yogurt, and Gu Chaoming read desire and depression from his eyes.

Gu Chaoming just wanted to say, "If you don't pick it up, I'm tired of raising my hand." Before he could say it, Lin Jianfan took the yogurt in his hand.

Is it that you can't help but ignore him

In the morning, Lin Jianfan hardly said a word to him, he just nodded and looked away from a distance, and he didn't speak when he went upstairs and put him on his shoulder. If he hadn't figured it out, Gu Chaoming would have thought that he had traveled back to the forest to see when Fan had just arrived. When Lin Jianfan first arrived, he was more enthusiastic than he is now.

Now that Lin Jianfan took the yogurt, Gu Chaoming changed his words: "Didn't you say it has nothing to do with me in the morning? Why did you take my yogurt again?"

Lin Jianfan raised his eyes to look at him, he didn't know what to do, his eyes were full of helplessness like a child.

As soon as Gu Chaoming said it, Lin Jianfan thought for a while and put the yogurt he took back into his hand.

Gu Chaoming couldn't help laughing, and patted Lin Jianfan's head with a little strength as punishment: "Just kidding with you."

Gu Chaoming inserted a yogurt straw into Lin Jianfan and handed it to him: "Take it, drink it all."

Gu Chaoming stretched out his hand, but Lin Jianfan didn't take it but lowered his head and took a sip.

Seeing Lin Jianfan lowered his head to hold the straw's lips, Gu Chaoming blinked unnaturally.

When Lin Jianfan finished taking a sip, Gu Chaoming forced the yogurt into Lin Jianfan's hand, pretending that nothing had happened, but in fact, a fireworks exploded in his heart alone, roaring in his mind.

Gu Chaoming couldn't help grinning.

Gu Chaoming and Lin Jianfan were strolling along the school aisle together. The cold wind was blowing in the winter, and there were few pedestrians on the road, only the tall and straight trees beside the road for company.

Lin Jianfan held the yogurt and said slowly, "I'm sorry about the morning, I'm not sincere, I'm just... just... "

Lin Jianfan stammered.

Gu Chaoming looked sideways at Lin Jianfan, who was trying his best to explain, and said for him: "I'm afraid that they will talk nonsense about me because of Yu Hangwei, and it's not good for me, so you feel like ignoring me and pretending to have no relationship with me. Good looks are better for me, right?"

Lin Jianfan looked up at Gu Chaoming, surprised how he knew what he was thinking.

Gu Chaoming asked narcissistically, "Am I very smart?"

Lin Jianfan said seriously, "Well, smart."

Gu Chaoming laughed loudly: "You have already used this trick Xili."

"Because he didn't want to implicate Su Bing and me, he didn't talk to us and was very indifferent to us. We thought he had depression at the time, and we checked a lot of information about depression, hahahaha, you don't know How funny we were."

Gu Chaoming explained cheerfully, and was happy that Lin Jianfan was no longer as cold as in the morning classes.

Gu Chaoming was waiting for Lin Jianfan's answer, but Lin Jianfan suddenly changed the subject: "Sunday is Christmas, I think..."

Christmas

Thinking of Merry Christmas that I saw in English reading today, thinking of Liu Yi's words, Gu Chaoming wanted to invite him out to play.

Lin Jianfan didn't say everything.

He tried, and waited.

In his expectant eyes, Gu Chaoming completed what Lin Jianfan had not finished saying: "I want to invite you out to play at Christmas, you must come, you are a real scholar."
