—He is waiting for the girl he likes to leave school.
Yan Xiaoniao, who was nervous to eavesdrop, was stunned and reacted for a long time. He opened up every word and read it again—he, waiting, favorite girl, after school.
Then the brain automatically picks out the keywords.
—The girl I like.
-like.
Yan Xiaoniao's ears turned red inch by inch.
If it is said that Gu Ci’s ID number has been reported, it is now Yan Xiaoniao’s ID number.
He is indeed waiting for someone.
The handsome ratio in their mouths, the young man with a stunning face, he came to this world that did not belong to him, and he was blowing a cold wind...
Waiting for her.
The dialogue between the two girls echoed in the classroom.
"Fuck, I'm gone-this is the original sentence? This is the original sentence? I still remember the handsome face, my God, I can't even imagine what he would say when he said this..."
"It's the original words, that's why my sisters are sad and happy. Sad because such a big handsome guy has a sense of belonging. If you are happy... it's probably the kind of mood to applaud someone's beautiful love."
After a pause, she said again, "And we were too curious about who he was talking about. At that time, my sister was so shocked and didn't feel embarrassed to stay, so we didn't see who the last girl he was waiting for was ."
"Should it belong to our school? I have been waiting around here, and there is no other school."
"Woo woo woo really want to know!"
"..."
Yan Xiaoniao couldn't suppress the heat on her face, fearing that she might be seen, so she got up to make an excuse to go to the bathroom.
In the winter, Yan Luqing felt like a small flame is missing in his body, continuously sending heat to all parts of his body.
She washed her hands with cold water first, and after the hands were dry, she applied them directly to her face to cool down.
But even if the temperature dropped, she couldn't calm down.
Finally, I went back to the classroom, speeded up my clothes, and left school with my schoolbag.
There was a cool breeze on the way home. Yan Luqing's brain was still active. There were frequent dialogues between the two girls. There were only a few words back and forth, but they seemed to be standing next to Yan Luqing, repeating to her for a while. One sentence, repeat one sentence later.
The most lethal sentence is the one with the most damage.
The situation got better until I walked home.
Yan Luqing took a shower after returning home.
There were a lot of things during this period, and Gu Ci was approaching the final exam, and Yan Luqing's time to talk to him was significantly reduced when he arrived home. And she was afraid of finishing her homework too late, so she didn't have much time to chat with him.
Yan Luqing felt that since Gu Ci did not review, his sleep must be guaranteed. So when he got home, he would do his homework, and after finishing it, he would almost go to bed.
Thanks to the recent pattern-after she got home today, even if she didn't take the initiative to say anything, Gu Ci wouldn't be surprised.
After washing and returning to the room, Gu Ci was leaning against the table, seeming to have been looking at the door of the room. She met his sight as soon as she came in.
Gu Ci propped one elbow on the tabletop, with the other hand hanging casually, a trace of unknown emotions passed through his pitch-black eyes, and he smiled at her: "Why is your face red."
Yan Luqing felt his breathing stagnated.
In the past, it was only her own careful thoughts that popped up frequently. But tonight I heard something like that, knowing that he described himself to other people like that, when he looked at each other, the atmosphere around him seemed to change instantly.
Yan Xiaoniao looked away, went to get his schoolbag, and hesitated: "The water is too hot."
High school exams are usually two days, and his exam will be the day after tomorrow.
But the person in the room who is struggling with writing is the one who will not take the exam tomorrow.
Yan Luqing was full of thoughts, and barely concentrated on finishing her homework, probably because she had seen her working too hard, and Gu Ci hadn't bothered her. At half past ten, the two of them turned off their lights and went to bed.
Yan Luqing hadn't noticed which side she would like to sleep toward before, but in the past few months, she has indeed developed a habit. She habitually sleeps toward the partition—that is, Gu Ci's direction as soon as she lay in bed.
I also like to be a little closer to there, it is best to hear a slight breathing.
Today, after saying goodnight to each other, she stared at the partition again and started thinking about another question for the first time.
What about him
When he sleeps, will he... face him
The day of the New Year's Day party was December 31st. Yan Luqing's classmates said that they would go to get together after the end. It was the last carnival before the final exam.
She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't stand up to her friends. Who can resist her sister's act of acting like a baby? So he agreed.
Just before leaving in the morning, she felt that she should give Gu Ci a word. A few words explained the ins and outs. In short, he was informed that he would be back late. Gu Ci had just pulled the schoolbag in his hand and carried it in his hand, turning his head to look at her: "What time is it late."
"The party is over at ten o'clock, and you have to pack up..." Yan Lu settled, "Maybe after 11 o'clock?"
His expression was subtle, and he seemed to be a little bit unhappy.
But the next second, he said: "Where to go."
Yan Luqing replied: "It's near the school, and there is a barbecue shop next door to the milk tea shop."
"After eleven o'clock," Gu Ci asked her, "how do your classmates go back."
"Parents will pick it up."
After saying this, Gu Ci suddenly stretched out his hand over her.
The hands in front of him are white and lanky, and the hand lines are very light, very beautiful.
Yan Luqing admired it for a few seconds, then looked up in confusion.
"Give me the key," he raised his eyes and said quietly, "I'll pick you up."
"..."
That was the first time Yan Luqing felt that he was suspected of fleeing.
After arriving at school, Yan Luqing opened the zipper to find out the homework, but Qiu Nuanlin leaned over, and started to look at her apart from anything, his eyes sharp as a knife.
Yan Luqing was inexplicably guilty by her: "Look at me... What are you doing?"
"I used to think that you won't like anyone in your life." Qiu Nuanlin said, "Really, this kind of personality in the novel is for the male lead, so I found out that you really are. Be indifferent from the bottom of my heart, and have no worldly feelings towards the opposite sex of our school chasing you."
"..."
"But I think you have changed now."
Yan Luqing was stunned: "What's wrong with me?"
"Look at yourself—" Qiu Nuanlin held the mirror to her eyes, and said every word: "Thinking about spring on his face."
The day of Yan Luqing's New Year's Party was the last day of Gu Ci's final exam.
The final exam is not allowed to be submitted in advance.
Gu Ci thinks this rule is boring. He finishes the test papers almost every exam early, but because he went to bed early recently, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He just sat in his seat.
Although boring, although he finished ahead of time, he also complied with the rules.
Before doing something, he usually thinks about all the consequences after doing it, and what might happen.
If you finish writing, hand in the paper ahead of time, after that.
The teacher has to talk to him, but this is not the point. The most important thing is that there will be more rumors in the grade. After the grades are released, this matter will be spread with jealousy—have you heard that Gu Ci handed in the paper long in advance , Mathematics, physics and chemistry turned out to be the first in grade.
Then I was watched, talked about, and known to more people. I was stopped at the door of the class or in the corner of the playground. I was probably going to be interviewed by the class teacher again because of frequent female students' search.
After the calculation, the time that may be wasted together before and after is several times more than the time remaining in quietness in the examination room.
So he chooses the best solution.
Gu Ci turned the pen while looking at the paper boredly, turning around, and he paused with his fingers.
A girl's face appeared in his mind.
The unusually round apricot eyes and the sweet voice of a girl, although they can chirp like a bird, they are not disgusting at all.
And she sometimes acts as if she is missing a chromosome.
Before doing things, the way of thinking about all the consequences has indeed always been his habit.
Only not to her.
After finishing the last exam, I went back to the classroom to listen to a few words from the class teacher. The students who finished the final exam looked like liberated monkeys, chatting everywhere, and many of them were returning to their ancestors.
Calm human Gu Ci seems out of place here.
There are always many people around him. A group of people are leaving the school gate together. They are getting a headache because of the monkeys around him. Suddenly, there is a group of white furry.
There was a monkey who greeted her in the past. It should be a female classmate in the same class. She doesn't remember her name.
Gu Ci's attention was on Xiao Bai Tuan in her arms.
It was a fluffy little white dog with a small body and a small face. Its eyes were round and hydrated, like two black grapes. It was held in his arms and looked around. It looked particularly delicate and cute.
Gu Ci treats small animals equally, no matter how beautiful or ugly, he doesn't like or dislike him, but he looks at the puppy a few more times.
The monkey next to him found it, poked at him, and curiously said: "Brother, do you like this kind of puppy?"
Gu Ci retracted his gaze, and smiled faintly: "Very cute."
"Fuck," the monkey turned his head in surprise, bent over and said to the little white dog, "Hey, you are praised by this great god for being cute, do you know how many humans you are better than?"
The monkeys laughed.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the playground of Huaiyu No.1 Middle School.
Although it was winter, the hot atmosphere of the playground was not affected by the weather at all, and everyone sitting next to each other did not feel cold.
The New Year's Day party was very exciting. Every class thought about the program carefully. Judging from the facial expressions, the school leaders in the front row looked at them very comfortably.
But Yan Luqing has been absent-minded.
Apart from watching the stage when it was her turn to perform in class, and recording a lot of close-up shots to Qiu Nuanlin with her mobile phone, she no longer had the thought of watching the show.
Yan Luqing took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat. After thinking about it for a while, he clicked on the dialogue box with Gu Ci.
[Little Bird]: How did you do in the exam
This WeChat name was chosen based on her positioning of herself.
I originally wanted to call it "I am a little bird", but I thought it was too long and unsightly, so I changed it to a little bird.
Gu Ci quickly replied to her.
[Word]: Hmm.
Although Yan Luqing liked the name [word] very much, and took some thought of her own, Gu Ci has already set it as a WeChat name, so she can change another remark.
She thought, since she was called Little Bird, she should change Gu Ci to his corresponding role-Little Bird telling a story, and the princess word locked in the tower.
Yan Luqing typed again after making the correction.
[Little Bird]: What do you mean
[Princess Words]: The content of the test has the same meaning as I thought.
[Little Bird]:...
Not long after the ellipsis was sent, the phone was shocked again.
[Princess Words]: Does the show look good
Little Bird said that I didn't even watch it, but after all he had been busy for so long, he still replied that he was "good-looking".
This concludes the conversation.
Yan Luqing looked at [Little Bird] and [Princess Words], and smiled inexplicably while holding the phone for a long time. He didn't know how weird the people next to her looked at her.
At ten o'clock, we arrived at the barbecue restaurant at ten thirty.
The so-called last carnival is nothing more than chatting, eating and drinking together.
Parents came to pick them up, and the New Year's Day holiday was on the next day. The shop was close to the school and there was no public order, so everyone was relieved. In addition to eating, they also opened a few bottles of beer.
Except for a few classmates who were strictly forbidden to drink a drop of alcohol at home, the others basically drank at least one drink, and Yan Luqing drank more than two glasses. She drank it purely as a drink, and several boys were on it, and she was fine.
There was noisy for almost an hour. The parents called to say that they had arrived. At 11:30, everyone checked out and left the barbecue restaurant. Outside the door was a large-scale father and mother looking for their children to confirm their relatives.
Qiu Nuanlin's family also arrived. Before leaving, they hiccuped and asked, "Let my dad send you off. Isn't your house nearby? It's not safe to walk back by yourself."
Yan Luqing met Qiu Nuanlin in junior high school. They used to play until ten o'clock at the latest, and finally Qiu Nuanlin's parents sent her back.
But Yan Luqing said, "No need."
After a pause, she seemed to have some hidden happiness, and added in a low voice, "I have someone to pick it up today."
When Yan Luqing walked out of the barbecue restaurant, the wind at night blew away the hot breath, and behind him was the classmate who was picked up by the parents. She was in the opposite direction to them, turning the corner, still under the street light, and saw a familiar figure at a glance.
He didn't break his promise.
Said to pick up and really came to pick up.
Yan Luqing capitalized and bolded in his mind: This person is here to pick her up.
Gu Ci finally wore a bit thicker today, but it was only thicker than before, in her opinion it still felt bitterly cold.
When he saw her, Yan Luqing didn't know how long he had been standing there. She didn't speak, walked over, and suddenly grabbed his finger and put it on her face—
Then Gu Ci felt that he had touched the soft and hot skin.
"..."
His Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes squinted inconceivably: "What are you doing."
"I'm drinking," she raised her face, with an innocent look, her eyes sparkling, "cool me down."
"..."
The wind was a little bit weaker, and Gu Ci did smell a faint scent of wine, floating along with her shampoo scent.
With his hand on her face, the two of them stood there for a long time. Gu Ci said with a funny smile: "You are hot, go home and wear less and turn on the air conditioner. Isn't it better?"
"Also." Yan Luqing nodded.
His hand feels like cool jade, and when he loosens it, he feels a little bit reluctant.
It only takes a few minutes to go home.
There are a lot fewer people on the street, and Gu Ci probably thinks she wants to go home quickly and does not ride too slowly. When passing a street, a small dog suddenly rushed out of the middle of the road. He reacted very quickly and braked. Yan Luqing leaned forward and then leaned back suddenly due to inertia, just hitting his shoulder with his head.
The puppy ran away smoothly, but Yan Luqing kept leaning his head on his shoulder and didn't lift it up.
The car hits the road again.
"Gu Ci." She called him suddenly.
"Um."
The girl’s voice was very close to him, and she said in her ear: "I drank, but I was not drunk."
The state is really not like drunk.
But there is a suspicion of acting like a baby after drinking.
"understood."
When I got home, it was 11:55.
The two moved neatly and uniformly. They took off their jackets when they entered the bedroom, but they seemed to stop after taking off, and neither of them took the next step.
Yan Luqing was quite conscious and his thinking was very active.
Countless pictures popped up in my mind—the kind of scene where the timeline was completely messed up.
When riding in his car, it seemed to be an illusion of being held.
In a very occasional physical contact in a room, that piece of skin seems to be numb.
Gu Ci's habit of pulling his hair out of the shower after taking a shower, he will really keep thinking about it after watching too much.
... ...
When you ask him a question you don't know, you can always get the answer suddenly-although you will also get a bunch of bamboo shoots from him.
There are many more, subconsciously looking at each other in one space.
I want to see him when I think of funny things, I want to see him when I think of angry things, I want to be the first to tell him about any weird things.
Tonight, she felt that for a total of ten minutes of the road, there were street lights everywhere, and she could walk along the road without any danger.
But he would ask for the address and time, and while he was upset, he would go to pick her up.
A girl struck up a conversation, and he said that he was waiting for the girl he liked to leave school.
Gu Ci hated waiting for people and wasted time.
But he is always waiting for her to finish school.
How many times have you waited? It's already innumerable.
After taking off his coat, Yan Lu stood beside the somewhat broken door.
Gu Ci was originally standing at the table, and seeing that she hadn't moved a place, he walked straight towards her.
He had just stood still, Yan Luqing said without beginning and end: "Happy New Year."
Gu Ci glanced at the phone beside her.
It's zero.
January 1, 2019.
In her world, this is a new year.
Yan Luqing said in twitter that she likes New Year's Day very much, more like the Spring Festival than her birthday. Not only because of the holidays, but also because she especially likes the first day of the year. She said, I really want to do the best thing on this day.
I don't know what she is going to do today.
Gu Ci paused for a few seconds, curled her lips and smiled, repeating her words like a repeater, and only said four words: "Happy New Year."
But Yan Luqing's next sentence was even more endless.
She looked up at him with her eyes wide open, took a deep breath, and said clearly in her voice:
"I like you."
-The moment I heard these four words, my heart beat violently, and there was almost an unreal pain.
It may have been only a few seconds, or it may have been a century.
Yan Luqing observed every change on his face, watching Gu Ci gradually constricting his previous faint smile, his eyes were so narrow that he could almost drown a person.
He raised his hand to the door behind her—the door that connected everything in the first place.
Gu Ci also used a repeater to learn her words.
"I like you."
... ...
Yan Luqing thought, there are always some encounters, like a gift from heaven.
For example, when she was sixteen, she accidentally opened a door and met a young man who looked amazing.
He comes from another world.
He is good everywhere.
His name is Gu Ci.
Happy New Year, I like you.
