growing up

Gu Yuan looked calm.Sighing helplessly, he raised his hand and flicked Gu Qingqing's forehead: "You! What have you been thinking about all day? I think you have been violated by Two-dimensional!"

"That's not it. Okay, okay, I won't talk about the head office." Gu Qingqing muttered softly.

"But by the way, brother Ling Chao is your first friend I've ever met!" Gu Qingqing turned to look at Ling Chao again, with a cute smile on her face: "Brother Ling Chao, how could you be with my brother? As friends?"

"Ah, well, your brother helped me a lot, and then we met. We are still in the same class now." Ling Chao said with a smile.

"Brother Ling Chao, do you have a girlfriend?" Gu Qingqing blinked her big eyes, looked at Ling Chao and asked.

"Huh? No." Ling Chao couldn't keep up with Gu Qingqing's jumping thinking, so he could only answer hastily.

"Okay! Two-dimensional girl, can you be quiet for a while?" Gu Yuan was a little dizzy, wondering if it was right to bring her to buy books with Ling Chao today. "This is a lounge. It needs to be quiet."

"Oh. Alright." Gu Qingqing looked around, there were quite a few people sitting here reading books, and it seemed that only their table was more lively.

After sitting for a while, the three got up to buy books.

Going up to the second floor, Ling Chao picked up a few original English books, and saw a new management book.The two brothers and sisters of the Gu family walked behind him and watched.

The materials that Gu Yuan wanted to buy for Gu Qingqing were on the third floor, and Ling Chao helped them choose a few representative ones.It's all first-year data.Due to physical reasons, Gu Qingqing often asks for leave and always suspends school.Most subjects in elementary school are taught at home.Last year, I took the entrance examination for junior high school, which means I have officially graduated from elementary school.From the beginning of this year, he could have gone to junior high school with Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan skipped a grade and came to No. [-] Middle School. He was worried about letting her go to school in the old city alone.In addition, Gu Qingqing's health has not been very good recently, and an operation will be arranged at the end of next month.So this semester Gu Qingqing can only rest at home.

Ling Chao went to the high school materials area and picked up a few materials for the second year of high school, but Gu Yuan didn't take them.Walking down slowly, it was almost five o'clock before I knew it.

After paying the bill, both of them had a paper bag of books in their hands.

"Why don't I treat you to dinner? I checked before, and there is a pretty good health restaurant nearby." Ling Chao said to them standing under the shade of a tree.

"Is it Tang's Herbal Cuisine that has a high online rating?" Gu Qingqing asked.

"It seems to be called such a name." Ling Chao thought for a while and said.

"No, I heard it's quite expensive. It's better for my brother to go back and cook." Gu Qingqing frowned and said.

"It's all right, Brother Ling Chao treats you. This is the first time I see Qingqing, I want to take you to eat something delicious." Ling Chao patted his chest and said.

"Ah? It's still too expensive." Gu Qingqing should be a very sensible girl.Maybe it's because I'm used to the hard work of my mother and brother, and I don't want to waste money.

Gu Yuan beside him remained silent.Ling Chao turned his head to look at him, raising his eyebrows.

Gu Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, but he came back to his senses when he saw Ling Chao's expression, the two looked at each other for a while, Gu Yuan sighed and said, "Let's go, go eat."

Ling Chao was also afraid that Gu Yuan would also refuse, he didn't care if the meal was expensive or not, he just wanted to take the two of them to eat something good.

In fact, this hotel is not expensive. , Compared with the private dishes that his parents took him to eat in the past, it is already very cheap. The three of them can eat for less than a few hundred yuan.Just because it said on the Internet that this herbal cuisine is very authentic and tastes very good, I wanted to try it.

There are not too many people in the store now, the waiter led the three of them to a small cubicle, separated by a screen on both sides, and a small low table was placed on the raised table.Surrounded by straw mats, the guests take off their shoes and sit on the ground.

Ling Chao asked Gu Qingqing to order food, but Gu Qingqing refused, and Gu Yuan refused to take the menu. In the end, Ling Chao ordered four or five dishes by himself.

The meal was very comfortable. Gu Qingqing is a very lively girl, completely different from Gu Yuan's cold temper.Especially to find topics to talk about.From anime novels to sports competitions, he can say a few words.Knowing that Ling Chao practiced Sanda since he was a child, he also chatted with many legends in the professional field.Even Ling Chao admired her vast knowledge.

Gu Yuan said that she spent too much time at home since she was a child, so she would look around for things by herself.In the past, every time she was hospitalized, almost all the patients, doctors and nurses outside the hospital could chat with her.When chatting with Gu Qingqing, she laughed out loud at her classic sentences from time to time, and even Gu Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud several times.

This day was Ling Chao's happiest day since he came to D City. If he hadn't thought about Gu Qingqing's body, how long they would have had to chat.

When I got home to video with my mother at night, Ling Chao talked a lot about the two brothers and sisters, which made my mother laugh for a long time.

Ling Chao didn't seem to notice that in the past two days, the topics he and his mother talked about often turned to Gu Yuan unconsciously.

Gu Yuan actually jumped two levels in a row.

The breakfast that Gu Yuan made was delicious.

Gu Yuan can also do programming.

Gu Yuan this... Gu Yuan that...

The holidays passed much faster than expected. When I arrived at the school on Monday morning, there were many people gathered in front of the bulletin board downstairs.Ling Chao took a closer look, and it turned out that the report card for the start-of-term exam came out.

No.1 is Ling Chao, with a total score of 726. No.2 is Gu Yuan, Ling Chao is not surprised to see that his grade under his name is only two points lower than his own.He knew that Gu Yuan must be a very good person!

Compared with the previous schools, the grades of students in No. 3 Middle School are still a little bit behind.Ling Chao used to have to work very hard in school to get the first place in the exam, and most of them hovered around the third and fourth.This time, No.13 was 15 points behind Gu Yuan and [-] points lower than himself in the start-of-term exam.This has never happened before.

Among the surrounding students, there was a class of students who were not familiar with them, and when they saw Ling Chao coming, they whispered with the students next to them.

Ling Chao took a rough look at the grades, then backed out and walked to the classroom, ignoring what others said about him.

A lot of people came to the class. As soon as Ling Chao walked in, the noisy classroom suddenly fell silent, and they all stared at Ling Chao.

Ling Chao was a little uncomfortable being stared at, but since he just came to this class, he didn't have anyone he knew very well except Gu Yuan and his deskmate Wang Tian.He could only walk silently to his seat.

Gu Yuan's seat was still vacant, and no one came yet.As soon as Wang Tian saw him, he waved to him enthusiastically.

"Ling Chao Ling Chao, you are so awesome, you are number one in the school!" Wang Tian said to him in a serious voice.

"Ah." Ling Chao really didn't know how to answer him.

"Gu Yuan is also awesome! I didn't expect him to have such a good result after skipping two grades." Wang Tian said excitedly: "I heard that the teachers who corrected the test papers in the second day of high school praised you both. It said that our No. [-] Middle School transferred two top seeds this year. Erlin was so happy that she got her grades yesterday that she invited all the teachers to eat hot pot."

"Ha, is it?" Ling Chao answered by taking out the things he needed from his bag and putting them on the table.

"Yes, yes, our school has never given such a high score before. Chen Yu can only take the No. 3 exam this time. In the first year of high school, the number one in the grade for a long time was more than ten less than you It’s so unbelievable!” Wang Tian clicked his tongue: “However, I heard another news.” He leaned closer to Ling Chao, and his voice was much softer: “Last time you fought with Da Ban I don’t know which SB reported it to the school, but I heard that there is no evidence, and the school doesn’t believe it. I heard that Daban was hospitalized, with a broken rib and a broken wrist.”

If Wang Tian hadn't mentioned it, Ling Chao would have almost forgotten about Hongmao.Broken ribs?so fragile?I don't seem to touch his ribs much.But the wrist must be broken.The power to step down with one's own foot is indeed not small.

Seeing that Ling Chao didn't answer, I thought he was thinking too much: "This kind of person is well cleaned up, Ling Chao, I really can't see that your force value is so strong. I've decided, you will be my idol from now on!"

Seeing the boy who was taller and stronger than himself speak like this with admiration, Ling Chao couldn't help laughing: "Are you going to be so exaggerated? You're still an idol."

Wang Tian immediately said seriously: "If you want it, look at you, your grades are MAX, your strength is MAX, you are handsome, and you have a good personality. It's a pity, I'm a straight man, otherwise I would have chased after you."

Ling Chao couldn't help laughing softly anymore.

Gu Yuan came in while pressing the bell for the morning reading. Du Lin was already sitting on the podium to supervise the morning reading.The students just looked at him twice, and no one dared to discuss anything.

Du Lin announced that the last class meeting in the afternoon would be a seat change.The rules for changing seats in a class are set by Du Lin. She will draw a class seating chart once a month.Then according to the monthly test results, the students will tick the seats they want to sit from front to back.Maybe it is out of trust in the students in her class, no matter where you choose, she will agree.You have to sit where you want to sit and let your grades speak for you.The higher the grades, the more right to speak.

When Gu Yuan gave Ling Chao breakfast after morning class, Ling Chao originally wanted to ask him about the seat, but he seemed to be busy, so after giving him the lunch box, he left without saying a word.

Looking at the two rice balls brought to him today, Ling Chao shook his head helplessly.

Forget it, ask again later.

Today is Monday, and the first class is the flag-raising ceremony and school assembly.Because the first year of high school is still participating in military training and not in school, only the second and third grades of high school participate.

The director of academic affairs, surnamed Xie, is in his 40s, with sharp eyebrows.With his slightly chubby figure and his thundering voice, many students call him Xie Bawang in private.

This time the school encyclopedia mainly explained some precautions for the start of the new semester, and provided 10 minutes of motivation and learning mobilization for the senior high school students.I also made a concluding speech on the opening of the second year of high school.He also praised Ling Chao and Gu Yuan by name.Many students from other classes looked at them one after another.There are still some people who know Gu Yuan, but not many people know Ling Chao.There was a lot of inquiry and discussion below.

Gu Yuan was standing in front of Ling Chao, who was separated by a person, couldn't see his expression clearly, just stood straight, and didn't whisper to the people around him.

After this morning meeting, the two of them were completely famous.Fortunately, No. [-] Middle School did not require outstanding students to speak on stage like before, at least it avoided some unnecessary embarrassment.

When the meeting was over, Ling Chao didn't go with Gu Yuan, and it was a good thing they weren't together. He was stared at and discussed all the way to the classroom, which made Ling Chao feel uncomfortable all over his body.There are also more courageous girls who come to say hello to him.

Ling Chao is not used to communicating with strange girls, and he can't even keep his habitual smile. This embarrassment will not be better until he returns to the classroom.

He sits on the inside, so he won't be disturbed by others except those in his own class.Although the off-duty staff in the corridor still looked into the education from the window door from time to time, they didn't leave until they heard the class bell ringing.

The few students around were fairly quiet, so he didn't let him continue to be embarrassed.Even Wang Tian, ​​who has always been very enthusiastic about him, probably saw his embarrassment, so he patted his shoulder and sat there doing exercises.

Ling Chao recalled Du Lin saying that he would change seats in the afternoon during the morning reading, and looked up to see Gu Yuan lying on the table, seemingly sleeping, and he didn't know where he wanted to sit.
