"... Gu Ningzi!" Chi Nuan struggled, thinking that Gu Ningzi would not let go, but she would break free as soon as she struggled.
Gu Ningzi came to hold Chi Nuan's hand again, someone passed by on the stairs, Chi Nuan turned her hand behind her back and refused.
When they were far away, Gu Ningzi asked her softly, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Chi Nuan said, "No."
"Yes." Gu Ningzi looked at her, "You look at me. You look at me and talk."
Chi Nuan raised her head and let her eyes fall on Gu Ningzi's face.
Gu Ningzi tentatively said: "What do you think about me... Do you still have ideas about my family?"
"I can feel it, since the night I brought you to see my sister, you... Chi Nuan, you believe me, I said, I will—"
"What are you talking about?" Chi Nuan interrupted her calmly, the corners of her lips raised, a kind of soothing tenderness.
"I don't mind that, and I believe you can do it." She smiled and asked Gu Ningzi jokingly, "Are you so insecure?"
Gu Ningzi: "..."
Chi Nuan took the initiative to take Gu Ningzi's hand and walked downstairs: "I said, nothing happened. Today is Xue Min's birthday, I promised her to be in front, so it's not good not to go... "
Chi Nuan said, and added with anger and resentment: "Since you have arrangements, you should tell me in advance, of course I would rather be with you."
Gu Ningzi's deep eyes fell on Chi Nuan's back, and she didn't speak for a while.
The three girls in the dormitory all stuck their heads out of the window and looked down, not understanding what happened, Chi Nuan received their gaze and turned to Gu Ningzi: "I'll take you outside the school, lock the door of the dormitory quickly. already."
After leaving the school gate, Gu Ningzi still looked down at the road, Chi Nuan gently stroked her palm with her fingertips, Gu Ningzi felt itchy and turned to look at her.
Chi Nuan smiled at her, her fingertips kept making trouble, and she was still making trouble in Gu Ningzi's palm.
Gu Ningzi: "...Are you writing?"
Chi Nuan said, "I'm seeing how long you can bear not to talk to me."
Gu Ningzi: "..."
Gu Ningzi took Chi Nuan into her arms.
"Gu Ningzi, I was wrong. I won't go out with Xue Min in the future. Don't be angry, okay?" Chi Nuan said in Gu Ningzi's arms.
Gu Ningzi: "I don't care about Xue Wen."
"Then what do you care about?" Chi Nuan raised her face and pecked at the corner of her lips with a smile: "Do you feel safe? Will this make you feel a little more secure?"
Gu Ningzi turned her head and smiled.
The two parted at the intersection, Gu Ningzi crossed the road, turned around and saw Chi Nuan standing at the other end of the zebra crossing, waving her goodbye.
Gu Ningzi also waved to her.
On the way back to school alone, Chi Nuan kept covering her mouth, afraid that she would cry. Stop and go, calm down, and then go back to the bedroom.
When it was time to follow the article again, the three of them all crowded on Zhao Jingjing's bed and laughed when they saw the male protagonist's mother deflated.
Chi Nuan took off her pajamas and went to take a shower.
When she was done washing and blowing her hair, Xu Dan wentssip and came up: "What did Gu Ningzi do just now? Are you quarreling?"
Without waiting for Chi Nuan's answer, he asked again, "What's the matter with you and Xue Min? It's mysterious, so they don't take us."
Du Min and Zhao Jingjing also pricked up their ears to listen, Chi Nuan tossed their half-wet hair: "It's too embarrassing for me to be caught between them..."
Her words were very inductive, and Xu Dan really asked, "Are they having trouble again?"
"I don't know the specifics." Chi Nuan looked at herself in the mirror, and disgust flashed in her heart.
I hate this self who keeps lying and acting.
Gu Ningzi sent a message: "Will you come to my side tomorrow?"
Chi Nuan sat down in front of the desk, stared at the phone for a while, then took out a note, and started to list the week's study plan clearly. Which shares need to be completed each day, accurate to the hour.
Du Min passed by her desk, glanced at the dense handwriting, "Huh", "Big brother!"
After Chi Nuan wrote it, she posted it in front of the desk, took a photo and passed it to Gu Ningzi: "The first monthly test next week, you should also concentrate."
Gu Ningzi was frightened by the coverage and detail of the content: "...Are you sure?"
Chi Nuan: "[smile]"
The next day, Chi Nuan reviewed his homework in the dormitory as planned, and ate a piece of bread when he was hungry. Xu Dan said with emotion, "Student masters have worked so hard, what reason do we have to work hard for scumbags?"
Zhao Jingjing: "… Why does it sound like something is wrong?"
Xu Dan spread his hands: "Anyway, they are all scumbags in seconds. If you can't catch up, you can't catch up."
In the evening, they all went out to the supermarket. Before dark, Chi Nuan received the photo of Xiao Wutong sent by Chi Qingchuan, and they went home from the confinement center.
"Xiao Wutong came home for the first time after being born." Chi Qingchuan said.
Xiao Wutong has taken off the wrinkled appearance when she was born, and her skin is white, tender and plump, and she cutely wants people to come and kiss her.
Chi Nuan: "I can go back to play with Xiao Wutong during the National Day holiday."
Chi Qingchuan: "When will you come back? My brother will pick you up."
Chi Nuan wanted to say that she could go back by bus, but then she thought of Gu Ningzi, who should be sending her off.
"On the 30th, go home after the monthly exam on the 30th." Chi Nuan said to Chi Qingchuan.
Gu Ningzi came just after saying goodbye to Chi Qingchuan.
She was carrying a box of hot soup, Chi Nuan was stunned, took it over and opened it, the aroma was fragrant.
Chi Nuan smiled and rolled her eyes: "Thank you."
Gu Ningzi also smiled.
The bedroom was quiet, with a breeze blowing from the window and the curtains swaying gently. No headlights were turned on, only Chi Nuan's desk lamp glowed softly.
Chi Nuan sat under the lamp and drank the soup very slowly, sweating all over, but her heart was cold. She put down the spoon and said, "Gu Ningzi."
Gu Ningzi: "Huh?"
Chi Nuan: "Don't give me these in the future, they will ask again if they bump into them."
Gu Ningzi leaned against the desk and looked down at her.
Chi Nuan: "I went back to the dormitory last night, and they all asked me, what happened to you, and what happened to us... I don't want to lie to them again."
Gu Ningzi: "Don't you want them to know?"
Chi Nuan said, "There's no need to let them know, right? ... What do you think?"
Gu Ningzi didn't say anything, she stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Chi Nuan, Chi Nuan slanted her body to the side unintentionally, and Gu Ningzi's hand was empty.
Chi Nuan found the weekend homework on the table and handed it to Gu Ningzi: "Are you going to take it back? Or take a photo? They went to the supermarket, and it's time to come back soon."
Chi Nuan's attitude naturally seemed to be unaware that there was anything wrong with her words. Gu Ningzi looked at her for a long time. Finally, she took the homework and put it on Du Min's desk next door.
"I'll go home first." Gu Ningzi said.
Chi Nuan faced the closed bedroom door, always afraid that she would cry in the next second.
You will get used to it, now is the hardest time, and it will be fine in the future. Nothing, nothing... she muttered to herself.
Chi Nuan's attitude changed Gu Ningzi's mood. In the new week of class, neither of them talked to anyone. In the afternoon gym class, Gu Ningzi and the boys played in a team. During the halftime break, Chi Nuan came to her with a smile, her eyes sparkling: "Hello. Awesome."
Gu Ningzi drinks water.
Her forehead was wet with sweat, Chi Nuan stretched out her hand and brushed it, as if no unpleasantness had happened.
Gu Ningzi said, "Don't you want to be known by them?"
"Don't you know how attractive you are?" Chi Nuan smiled and walked away.
Gu Ningzi swallowed the water into her throat and slowly twisted the bottle cap.
After the physical education get out of class, before the last self-study class started, Chi Nuan went to the Chinese group to pick up today's classroom practice papers. He Liwen hadn't corrected it yet. When Chi Nuan left the office, the class bell had been ringing for a while.
It was quiet in the corridor, Chi Nuan was holding the paper, and was dragged to the stairwell before taking a few steps.
With her back against the wall, before she could make a sound, her lips were sealed.
Gu Ningzi's breath was overwhelming, Chi Nuan's legs were softened by her kiss, she made a decisive move to avoid it, and lowered her voice: "Gu Ningzi!"
Gu Ningzi raised her eyebrows.
Chi Nuan said, "I don't like this!"
Gu Ningzi slowly let go and took a half step back.
Chi Nuan took the paper into his arms, bumped her away, and hurried away.
In the self-study class, Gu Ningzi sent Chi Nuan a message, but Chi Nuan didn't reply. After school, Xu Dan ran to Du Min's side, and Gu Ningzi came over to talk to Chi Nuan.
"…Are you angry?"
Chi Nuan was copying English words and said without looking up, "No."
Gu Ningzi stood for a few seconds and took the pen from Chi Nuan's hand: "You can take a break, they are discussing what to eat, won't you go?"
Only then did Chi Nuan raise her head, with a smile on her lips: "Then it's too late to complete the study arrangement in this time period."
"This week is the first monthly test at the beginning of the school year. It is very important to the grade ranking." Chi Nuan emphasized.
Gu Ningzi was going to ask if I can't bother you anymore, but Chi Nuan closed her English book and looked at her eagerly: "...But when I talk to you, I don't want to read."
As always, the soft and sweet voice seemed to be the one who bumped Gu Ningzi away, not her.
Gu Ningzi couldn't react, Chi Nuan repeated it over and over again, making her more and more unclear about what she was thinking. This feeling was very, very bad.
"Ah, by the way," Chi Nuan opened the photo album on her phone, "Show you the little phoenix tree."
In the photo is Xiao Wutong's plump sleeping face. Chi Nuan said, "He has already returned home from the Confinement Center. When he returns on the eleventh, he will be able to play with him."
Gu Ningzi asked, "When are you leaving?"
Chi Nuan: "Let's go after the test, my brother will drop by to pick me up."
"..." Gu Ningzi said, "I thought we had agreed before the start of school, and I will pick you up in the future."
Chi Nuan put down the phone and said helplessly: "I know, but my brother took the initiative to mention it, and it was on the way again..."
Gu Ningzi supported the edge of the table and looked down at Chi Nuan.
—Actually, it’s not about who mentions it first, who mentions it later, Chi Nuan’s judgment standard, it’s just whether you want it or not, right
The only thing that is certain is that, whether it is to accompany Xue Wen on his birthday or to go home with his brother, in these two matters, he is the one who was abandoned by Chi Nuan.
