Chapter 78

Views:

In the past few days, the number of times Cen Xili frowned and the number of sighs had skyrocketed. Gu Chaoming didn't need to pay attention to it. As soon as he turned his head, as long as Cen Xili was looking at his phone, he would sigh or frown to a large extent after reading the phone.

As the leader of the "Cen Xili Psychological Care Group", Su Bing dutifully observed that the number of times Cen Xili sighed and frowned increased, and summoned the only member of the group, Gu Chaoming, to conduct the first "Cen Xili Psychological Care Group" in the corridor outside the classroom. Second meeting.

The first meeting was after the first year of high school, on the stairs of the school, and the meeting funds were only a bag of potato chips.

The meeting place was in the school corridor, and Gu Chaoming also brought a new team member, Lin Jianfan.

The only meeting expenses were the yogurt and various snacks that Gu Chaoming bought for him in Lin Jianfan's hands.

Su Bing, who was leaning on the corridor, waited for Gu Chaoming, who went to the grocery store to buy things after class, to return, and saw Gu Chaoming walking downstairs with Lin Jianfan.

Gu Chaoming took out the yogurt straw and inserted it into the yogurt box and handed it to Lin Jianfan beside him. Su Bing, who was standing upstairs, was hit by the dog food thrown up from the downstairs.

"Heh, people in love." Su Bing snorted as he looked upstairs at the two who were handing yogurt below.

When the two people holding the yogurt came up from downstairs and walked to the door of the class, Su Bing waved to them and motioned them to come over.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chaoming also opened a box of yogurt in his hand and walked towards Su Bing questioningly.

Lin Jianfan was biting on the straw and didn't follow Gu Chaoming's footsteps. He thought that the two of them had something to say.

Gu Chaoming didn't think so. After walking a few steps, he felt that the seat beside him was empty. When he turned around, he saw Lin Jianfan biting a straw and preparing to enter the classroom. Gu Chaoming stepped back a few steps and hooked Lin Jianfan who was about to enter the classroom: "Don't enter. The classroom is over, come out and talk."

There is nothing that Lin Jianfan can't listen to. Gu Chaoming added a member to the "Cen Xili Psychological Care Group". Su Bing has no objection and is very welcome. It is the ambiguous atmosphere between Gu Chaoming and Lin Jianfan. It made Su Bing, the team leader, a little bit unbearable.

As a new team member, Lin Jianfan offered the only funding for this meeting—snacks from the school canteen.

Su Bing unceremoniously took a pack of ginger and tore it open, and started the theme of the second meeting straight to the point.

"Don't you think Xili has changed a bit recently?"

Su Bing picked up a piece of ginger and put it in his mouth, and turned around to look into the classroom, for fear that Cen Xili would notice that they were having a small meeting behind his back.

Gu Chaoming took a mouthful of yogurt and asked, "What has changed?"

"It just feels like he's frowning and sighing, but it doesn't look like he's angry or worried."

Lin Jianfan listened silently and did not speak. Gu Chaoming took Jiang from Su Bing's hand and asked him if he would eat it. Lin Jianfan shook his head.

Hearing Su Bing's question, Gu Chaoming seemed to know the answer and said "Oh~", "You said this."

"Do you know what happened to Xili?" Su Bing asked curiously.

When Lin saw that Fan didn't want it, Gu Chaoming returned Jiang to Su Bing, took another sip of yogurt and said, "I was also puzzled by this at first, thinking that he always frowned and sighed because he had leg pain or something unhappy, but I found him later. When I see my phone, I like to sigh and ask him what's going on, he said that the junior high school brother is too annoying."

"Secondary grade one?" Su Bing asked, "Guan Hui?"

Gu Chaoming nodded.

There is no wind or warm sun today, and the weather without wind is quite comfortable, but no matter what the weather is, it is not a good weather for Cen Xili, who injured his leg.

Cen Xili was hit in the leg by Guan Hui for several days. Cen Xili had a plaster cast on his leg for a few days, and Guan Hui brought him lunch for a few days, so Gu Chaoming and Su Bing didn't need to worry at all. Guan Hui did a good job of his father's task of letting him take good care of Cen Xili, and sometimes even sent Cen Xili home after school.

The first time Guan Hui said he would send Cen Xili home, Su Bing stood at Gu Chaoming's table waiting for Gu Chaoming and Cen Xili to pack up their schoolbags and go home together.

Lin Jianfan waved goodbye to Gu Chaoming and the others at the door of the classroom, and Gu Chaoming was not in a hurry to put away his schoolbag before saying goodbye to Lin Jianfan.

Lin Jianfan's back disappeared at the door of the classroom. Gu Chaoming zipped up his schoolbag and stood up. The sudden voice behind him startled him.

"Hey!"

Deliberately scary voices jump from the unnoticed back door.

Gu Chaoming, who was patronizing and waving goodbye to Lin Jianfan, was unprepared by the sudden sound from the back door, causing him to take a deep breath.

The unsuspecting three people were all frightened, turned their heads together, and Guan Hui was lying on the door frame of the back door of the classroom, laughing.

Cen Xili hadn't used the crutches much, and walked a little slowly. Gu Chaoming and Su Bing walked slowly with him.

Originally, the family wanted to take him to and from school because of his leg injury, but Cen Xili knew that his parents were unavailable and didn't want them to find time to pick him up. Cen Xili said, "It's okay, I can walk with a cane."

Stumbled up the aisle leading to the school gate, Gu Chaoming and Su Bing watched Cen Xili walk slowly, and two people who had never used crutches taught Cen Xili how to walk fast with crutches.

"In this way, grab your hands here..." Su Bing raised Cen Xili's arm, "Here is the force, then the legs..."

Cen Xili and the two of them have been around for a long time, so they are not so stupid. The two of them want to fix his mind. Cen Xili knows very well. Cen Xili didn't listen to what Su Bing said. He raised a crutch and waved towards Su Bing.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Su Bing didn't speak, but Guan Hui, who was pushing the car next to him, spoke first.

Guan Hui usually rides a bicycle to school like Cen Xili, but when he hit Cen Xili on a motorcycle, the motorcycle was confiscated, and the bicycle used to get to and from school was almost confiscated. The family learned that he had hit someone while riding a bicycle, and they said that he was flustered when he rode so fast, so he simply didn’t ride any car and picked him up at home.

Guan Hui tried his best to keep his bicycle.

Guan Hui's impression of riding a motorcycle was too deep. When Guan Hui suddenly appeared at the back door of the classroom and said he was going to take him home, the first thing that came to Cen Xili's mind was the scene of Guan Hui riding a motorcycle and taking him to the hospital yesterday.

Cen Xili didn't want to sit again for a second time.

But think about what Guan Hui said that his car was confiscated, and he had no chance to ride it again.

When he saw Guan Hui taking out his bicycle from the carport, Cen Xili asked, "You said you wanted to send me off, where would you let me sit? Are you sitting on the bar in front?"

Guan Hui gave him an "otherwise" look.

Cen Xili made up the scene of himself nesting in Guan Hui's car in his mind, and immediately refused: "No way, please don't make a fuss, go back first."

Cen Xili sighed.

Guan Hui was reluctant, Su Bing always wanted Cen Xili to get rid of You Xin, and he made up the scene of Cen Xili's brain repair in his mind, and a perverted smile gradually appeared on his face.

You can't always let Cen Xili hang on the crooked-neck tree like You Xin, and always accept others. Although he heard Cen Xili say "Yes, I can" to Cen's mother, Su Bing felt that it was difficult for Cen Xili to accept others, but Su Bing still wanted to try.

How do you know if you don't try it

"I think it's good." Su Bing expressed his support when he heard that Guan Hui asked Cen Xili to ride in his car.

Cen Xi glared at Su Bing who agreed.

Like Su Bing, Gu Chaoming didn't want Cen Xili to hang himself on You Xin's tree, but he also didn't want to let Cen Xili accept other people casually. Gu Chaoming was puzzled by Su Bing's sudden agreement.

The client Cen Xili refused, no matter what they said, Cen Xili would not agree, so much that even Guan Hui wanted to help him, but he refused.

Walking down the aisle of the school, Su Bing failed to straighten Cen Xili. Cen Xili waved his crutches to hit Su Bing, but Guan Hui stood beside him. Cen Xili raised his hand and accidentally missed Su Bing and accidentally injured Guan Hui, who was rejected by him. .

"Hey, what are you doing?" Guan Hui reacted quickly after being beaten, grabbing the crutch that Cen Xili had hit him with one hand and the other.

"What are you doing?" Cen Xili pulled the head of the crutch, Guan Hui was so strong, Cen Xili couldn't pull it back while standing on one leg.

Su Bing, who has always protected his shortcoming, saw Cen Xili being bullied this time. Instead of stepping forward, he snickered at the two people at both ends of the cane.

Gu Chaoming felt that Su Bing was weird, Su Bing took advantage of the gap between Cen Xili and Guan Hui pulling the cane, and quietly told Gu Chaoming his thoughts in Gu Chaoming's ear.

"Then you can't push everyone to Xi Li." Gu Chaoming disagreed with Su Bing's point of view.

"Try it first, how can you get rid of You Xin if you don't try."

Cen Xili, who was pulling a cane with Guan Hui, was all focused on pulling with Guan Hui, unaware that the two behind him were worrying about his lifelong affairs.

"Let me go!" Cen Xili couldn't pull it off, and was driven mad by Guan Hui who was always teasing him.

Guan Hui not only did not let go, but also tilted his head and smiled.

Angry, the docile little house cat has turned into a little wild cat.

Guan Hui looked at the mad Cen Xili and laughed, he liked to see Cen Xili like this.

Cen Xili pulled the crutches, hoping to pull the crutches over, but the strength was disparate, his legs didn't touch the ground, and he lost part of his strength.

Cen Xili was once again provoked by Guan Hui and sighed.

From Guan Hui's point of view, Cen Xili was pulling the cane like a kitten holding on to the cat's stick.

Guan Hui teased the cat for a while, and the two seniors behind him were still chatting. Guan Hui exerted force again, and Cen Xili released the crutches in his hands. Guan Hui succeeded in obtaining a crutch with only a little effort.

"Give it back to me!" Cen Xili, who had lost one crutch, could only use the other crutch to support him and roared at Guan Hui, who stole his crutch.

"I won't pay it back." Guan Hui shook the crutches in his hand.

The two chatting behind heard Cen Xili's roar before raising their heads.

Seeing that Cen Xili was limping like a kangaroo, leaning on crutches and jumping forward to chase after Guan Hui, Guan Hui held the car and walked ahead.

"I didn't expect you to be quite stubborn." Guan Hui said with Cen Xili's crutches.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chaoming asked Su Bing, "Is this what you said try?"

Su Bing smiled awkwardly and politely.

A kangaroo was jumping on the aisle of the school. Guan Hui was amused by Cen Xili who was jumping and chasing, and took out his mobile phone to take a video for him.

Cen Xili's chest rose and fell, and his breath gradually became rapid, and suddenly he figured out why he was chasing this little brat

After thinking about it, Cen Xili stopped in place.

Guan Hui, who was holding the car, wondered why he didn't run, thinking that Cen Xili was angry, Guan Hui turned the car around and wanted to run back to Cen Xili.

Before reaching Cen Xili's side, he killed a person halfway and stopped next to Cen Xili.

"What are you doing? I don't know that there are many people on this road, so bicycles can't go on this road?"

Guan Hui didn't need to look at it, as soon as he heard the hostile tone of his words, he knew that it was the "old man and senior".

"So what?" Guan Hui was not at all afraid of the seniors and You Xin, the president of the student union, "Didn't your car come here too? You still rode here."

The school does not strictly stipulate that bicycles cannot take this road, but the students who ride bicycles default to the other road beside the flower garden, which is specially designed to cycle out of the school gate.

You Xin passed by that road on a bicycle and saw Guan Hui teasing Cen Xili with a cane, and Cen Xili was jumping behind him like a little fool, You Xin couldn't help but kill him halfway to stop him.

"There is no difference between riding a bicycle and pushing a bicycle," You Xin said, "and you should stop playing with your injured classmates."

"Playing?" Hearing the word "playing", Guan Hui said dismissively: "This is also called "playing?"

You Xin felt that it was pointless to talk to Guan Hui and did not want to waste time so as not to quarrel. You Xin directly asked Cen Xili, who had not spoken since he stopped by his side: "Are you going? I'll take you back so that you won't be entangled."

Cen Xili looked at You Xin in disbelief. You Xin has always looked like a gentleman, and he didn't say anything harsh to those who provoked him, but today he specifically looked at Guan Hui when he said the words "to avoid being entangled by others".

You Xin's eyes are saying: "It's you who is talking about."

Gu Chaoming and Su Bing came forward to stop: "Hey, You Sanjin, what do you want?"

"Send the injured classmates home." You Xin turned his head and said to them both.

"You don't have a back seat in your car. Cen Xili doesn't sit on a support frame."

When Guan Hui said this, Su Bing made a "tsk".

Guan Hui, this silly boy, did Xi Li not take your car because he felt tired from sitting on the bar? That's because it's your car! boy! You are facing You Xin, and you are exploding yourself by saying this. If Cen Xili doesn't take your car, he may not take You Xin's car.

Guan Hui's words let the newly arrived You Xin know that Cen Xili refused to take Guan Hui's car before he came.

You Xin looked at Cen Xili, and Cen Xili's eyes met You Xin's and moved away, looking elsewhere.

You Xin chased Cen Xili's eyes, withdrew his gaze and got out of the car: "I'll push the car to accompany him back."

You Xin never talks much, and won't change his way of speaking because of Guan Hui's tone. He just said simply and plainly: "I'll push the cart to accompany him back."

If Guan Hui is the type of child who will grab your toys, then You Xin will give up riding and accompany the injured you to go home calmly.

You Xin only stated the results without any other special tone.

Cen Xili's avoided eyes slowly returned.

Comparing the two, it is difficult for Gu Chaoming to tell which of Guan Hui and You Xin is more suitable for Cen Xili. Although he is against You Xin and dislikes You Xin, Gu Chaoming still thinks Guan Hui is a little too childish.

The usually warm and gentle You Xin reached out and snatched Cen Xili's crutch from Guan Hui's hand and handed it to Cen Xili beside him.

When Cen Xili took the cane, You Xin didn't even look at Guan Hui, as if Guan Hui didn't exist, he held the car and said to Cen Xili, "Let's go."

Before pushing the car away, You Xin took a special look at Gu Chaoming and Su Bing, as if saying goodbye to them, but not Guan Hui.

You Xin took a few steps out of the cart, and Cen Xili followed Su Bing as usual. You Xin did not help Cen Xili, who was walking slowly with crutches, but waited for him with his hand on the car and slowing down.

Just like when Cen Xili of high school was chasing his grades, he would not deliberately fail the exam because he took care of Cen Xili's self-esteem. He would only wait for Cen Xili to ask questions to help him catch up with him.

It was the first time that Guan Hui was left on the spot, and the first time that the people around him were taken away in front of him. Guan Hui did not know the relationship between them. The back figure disappeared little by little.

"Hey, brother." Su Bing patted Guan Hui's shoulder and shook his head.

When Gu Chaoming walked behind Guan Hui, he also sighed and patted Guan Hui's shoulder.

What is this? Guan Hui thought after being patted on the shoulder by the two seniors.

I thought that after the You Xin robbery incident, Guan Hui would "retreat". He discussed in the corridor why Cen Xili was always sighing and mad recently. Su Bing didn't expect to hear Guan Hui's name again. .

"He doesn't really like Shangxi Li, right? He delivers meals every day." Su Bing stood in the corridor and picked up a piece of ginger from the packaging bag and said.

"No, but I heard from Xili that Guan Hui would not retreat but advance, and send him messages every day."

"Guan Hui is not really annoying, he just likes to play with people, and his words are a little rushed." Su Bing said.

Gu Chaoming hummed in agreement.

Two boxes of yogurt were also found in the snacks that Gu Chaoming bought. Su Bing saw that Gu Chaoming and Lin Jianfan were both drinking yogurt and wanted to drink a bottle.

Su Bing took out the yogurt bought by Gu Chaoming and shook it in front of Gu Chaoming: "Brother, can I have a bottle of the yogurt you bought for Xiaojianfan?"

It's a pity that Gu Chaoming couldn't see the blush on Lin Jianfan's face after hearing Su Bing's words, but Su Bing could see clearly when he turned his body sideways.

Lin Jianfan wanted to explain that the yogurt was not bought for him. Before he opened his mouth, he accidentally choked on the yogurt. He coughed a few times, and the blush on his face was covered by the blush he coughed out.

"You can choke even if you drink yogurt." Gu Chaoming helped Lin Jianfan, who was coughing, pat his back.

Lin Jianfan coughed and explained to Su Bing, "Gu Shuai bought that for you, not me."

"Bought it for us?" Su Bing was flattered, obviously things that used to be normal, but with Lin Jianfan everything became precious.

"Ah! Gu Shuai, you finally don't care about sex and friends!"

Not long after entering the classroom, Lao Chen also followed into the classroom. The students obediently returned to their seats, and Lao Chen said on the podium, "The school chorus competition is about to start. You have heard from the seniors and sisters before that there will be a chorus competition in the second year of the school. Every year in the second year of high school, there will be a chorus competition. The class chooses to sing a song. In other classes, some teachers choose songs, and some choose their own songs. Do you want to choose them yourself or me?"

"Choose it yourself!" When choosing songs like this, the students below said in unison.

"So you don't believe the song I chose?" Lao Chen asked.

The students below laughed, Su Bing saved the whole class laughing at Lao Chen and said, "Teacher, it's not that we don't believe in your aesthetics, we want our own freedom."

Old Chen also followed with a smile: "Yes, you can choose your own, but don't choose any messy songs for me, choose some positive songs for me, and don't make any confessions, I'm afraid of you."

In the past, in the chorus competition, when a senior made a public confession after singing a song, all the students in the audience cheered together, and the scene was uncontrollable.

"Let me know when you're done," said Lao Chen.

"Okay." The monitor responded.

"Also, the costume for the chorus is either the school uniform or the class uniform you bought at the last sports meeting. You can choose one for yourself."

Most of the classmates thought the school uniform was ugly, and they didn't wear it if they could. Someone immediately answered: "Class uniform!"

"That's alright, we'll wear class uniforms if there is no objection."

There was no objection, and Lao Chen began to instruct again: "If there is an air conditioner in the auditorium for class uniforms, don't worry, but your clothes should be clean for me, especially if the boys should dress me up and straight, don't leave me a messy shirt. Teenage clothes, don't dress me up as an old man's shirt, button up all the buttons for me, don't act like a second-rate, there shouldn't be any second-rate in our class."

Old Chen also asked a few words to choose songs before leaving the classroom. As soon as Old Chen left the classroom, the students below boiled.

"I have a recommended song for me." The squad leader stepped onto the podium and shouted.

There was a lively discussion about the chorus competition in the class. Gu Chaoming slowly rotated the fountain pen with his fingertips in circles. Cen Xili, whose legs were not fully healed beside him, couldn't move. He had been sitting in his seat watching the lively crowd in the classroom.

Cen Xili looked at the heated discussion class and suddenly sighed in disbelief.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Chaoming turned his head and asked.

"It's okay." Cen Xili lowered his head.

"Guan Hui is bothering you again?" Gu Chaoming asked.

Cen Xili sighed again: "Don't mention him, I'm about to be annoyed to death by him."
