growing up

There is no monthly exam at the end of October, because the midterm exam is coming soon.Thinking of Gu Yuan surpassing himself by several points in the last monthly exam, Ling Chao felt that it was time to calm down. Although losing to Gu Yuan was not a shame, Ling Chao could see how hard Gu Yuan worked.But in the end, it was the backwardness caused by my lack of care, and I couldn't help but have some demands on myself.

In the past few days, Ling Chao doesn't read much novels outside of class, and spends more time on his studies.Even though he still doesn't practice the tactics of the sea of ​​questions, he takes his few materials very seriously.

It was another Friday, Gu Yuan didn't go to Ling Chao's house at noon today, but he didn't come until the class bell rang in the afternoon.

Ling Chao looked at the empty space next to him and recalled that Gu Yuan looked normal in the morning, he was not sick or anything unusual, and he did not hear that he would not come to class in the afternoon.

But fortunately, Gu Yuan came in only ten minutes.

The chemistry teacher didn't ask anything, Gu Yuan called "report" at the door and the teacher let him in directly.

"Why are you late?" Ling Chao asked after waiting for Gu Yuan to sit down, and then looked at him twice and found nothing wrong.

"I have something to ask Mr. Du." Gu Yuan answered in a low voice while taking out the chemistry book.

"Oh." Ling Chao finally felt relieved: "I thought something was wrong with you."

"It's okay." Gu Yuan smiled, "I'm just going to ask for a leave of absence."

"Ask for leave?" Ling Chao turned his head and looked at him fiercely: "Is Qingqing feeling unwell again?"

"No, it's my own business." Gu Yuan paused: "I have a competition and I'm going to the provincial capital next week, it takes a week."

"Ah?" Ling Chao lay on the table and looked at Gu Yuan.

The teacher on the podium was talking about a rather special question type, Gu Yuan raised his head and listened carefully, and did not reply to Ling Chao's words.

In the end, Ling Chao didn't continue to ask.He looked at the questions on the blackboard, he knew it himself, but he didn't control his mind for a while, and started to be in a daze with some depression.

What game is it?

Why have you never heard of Gu Yuan?

It stands to reason that any competition must be prepared in advance, and the school has not heard of any students participating in it recently.

And next week there is a midterm exam!He asked for leave and didn't take the exam?

He felt that he seemed to care about Gu Yuan's evasive words to him.So much so that he didn't ask about it again throughout the afternoon.Although he looked the same on the surface, he was really depressed in his heart.

When school was over that day, for the first time, he didn't wait for Gu Yuan on Friday afternoon, and went home with his bag.

After going back, the more I thought about it, the more bored I became, and I didn't even want to eat.He felt that his state was very abnormal. He had obviously stabilized his mood recently, but now he became like this because of such a trivial matter.

He wanted to call Gu Yuan to ask questions, but his fingers stopped on the address book, but he never pressed down.

Ling Chao turned on the computer, and there was a new message from the landlord on the QQ that automatically logged in.Ling Chao often chats with him now, sometimes he talks about himself and Gu Yuan, and sometimes the host also shares his stories with him.

He happened to be online at this moment, Ling Chao thought about it and told him what happened today.

—My tablemate told me in the afternoon that he had a competition and asked for leave next week. I never heard him tell me about the competition, and he didn’t tell me today.

The reply over there was pretty quick.

— did you ask?

— No, I feel he is not very willing to tell me.

— How can you be sure that he doesn't want to talk about it?

—He asked for leave in the first class this afternoon, but he didn't mention it until the end of the fourth class.I don't think he really cares about me at all.

—I think you are overthinking it.Perhaps in his view, this is not a big deal.

— But I'm very annoyed now, I want to call him to ask, but I don't know how to ask.

—To be honest, your deskmate doesn’t know that you like him so much and cares about him, and wants to know everything about him. Leave this thing?

Ling Chao was stopped by this question.Indeed, besides Du Lin, I should be the only one who knows that Gu Yuan will ask for leave next week.Although he asked it himself, he only told himself, didn't he?But why is my heart so sad?

Ling Chao didn't answer any more, he got up and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water to drink, then spent a while on the balcony, and finally went to the gym to punch.

After exercising for more than an hour, the sweat soaked the whole body, and the feeling of boredom was relieved, and it was much more comfortable.

Ling Chao took a shower and was about to heat up the dishes for dinner. Just as the dishes were on the table, the phone in the bedroom rang.

Ling Chao trotted to check for an incoming call on his cell phone, and it turned out to be Gu Yuan.

The depression that was finally suppressed rose again, but when he saw his incoming call, he still quickly connected with his fingers.

"Hello, Brother Chao, are you home?" Gu Yuan's voice came.

"Yes, yes." Ling Chao replied.

"Can I go to your place to borrow the internet?" Gu Yuan asked: "My home internet was suddenly disconnected, and I still have some things in my hand that I have to finish today. I don't know when I will be able to access the internet."

Ling Chao originally thought that Gu Yuan would talk to him about asking for leave, or anything else, but he didn't expect to ask for help.

"Can you?" Seeing that Ling Chao didn't answer, Gu Yuan asked again: "Are you listening?"

"Come on." Ling Chao resisted the doubts in his heart and finally replied.

The whole afternoon this afternoon, Ling Chao felt uncomfortable in his awkward mood, but Gu Yuan didn't seem to notice his unhappiness.He felt that he was a little too hypocritical. How could such a small matter be magnified by himself?

"Okay, I'll go now, thank you Brother Chao." Gu Yuan obviously relaxed a lot.

Forget it, don't think about it, what do you want to ask, wait until he comes over, you can't go on like this, what a big deal!

Ling Chao went to the restaurant to eat the meal, washed the dishes, and the doorbell rang before he was done packing. Gu Yuan arrived quite quickly.

"Here we come." Ling Chao opened the door and looked at Gu Yuan, who was holding a computer bag in his hand.

"Well, I took a taxi here." Gu Yuan followed the path left by Ling Chao and walked in to change his shoes.

"You can go directly to the desk in the bedroom. The wireless password is the pinyin of my name." Ling Chao stood aside and looked at Gu Yuan and said.

"Okay." Gu Yuan changed his shoes and walked in with Ling Chao. There was still a little smell of food in the living room, but the table was clean: "Did you just finish eating?"

"Yeah." Ling Chao nodded: "I wasn't hungry when I came back. Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." Gu Yuan pointed to the bedroom and said, "Then I'll go get something first."

"Okay." Ling Chao didn't say any more, watched Gu Yuan walk to the bedroom, and then went to the kitchen to finish washing the unfinished dishes.

After Ling Chao finished washing, he leaned against the bedroom door and looked at Gu Yuan, but didn't go in.

Gu Yuan was very serious about his work. This was the first time Ling Chao really watched Gu Yuan's work. His fingers jumped on the keyboard quickly, and rows of codes appeared on the computer screen. He couldn't understand what those were. The original is so charming.

After dazed for a while, Ling Chao remembered the fruit tea he learned from Aunt Chen a few days ago, and he wanted to drink it a little bit.

"Gu Yuan, do you want some fruit tea?" Ling Chao asked him out loud.

"Huh?" Gu Yuan kept moving his hands, "Are you cooking?"

"Yes, I just learned from Aunt Chen." Ling Chao laughed.

"Okay." Gu Yuan said.

Ling Chao didn't bother him anymore, went to the kitchen refrigerator to take out the fruit to be used, washed a pot and boiled water.

He washed the apples, pears, and oranges, peeled the oranges, cut the pulp into pieces along with the apples and pears and put them aside for later use. After the water boiled, he put the fruit pieces in for cooking.

After boiling for a while, turn off the heat, cut two slices of lemon into it, put a black tea bag in it, wait until the black tea color is brewed, then filter it into a clean container.

He added some passion fruit jam and mixed it well, then put it in cold water to cool, and when the temperature dropped, he added some honey and it was done.

He likes to cook a bunch of fruits together. He has tried it before and it tastes good.I don't know if Gu Yuan will like it, but this should be the first time I try to make something for Gu Yuan, so I'm still somewhat excited.

"Brother Chao, can I borrow your computer? I'll check the information." Gu Yuan's voice came from the bedroom.

Ling Chao was happy with his little achievement, when he heard Gu Yuan's voice, he replied casually: "You can use it, the computer is on."

But suddenly I felt my heart beating faster, as if I forgot something?

computer!

The computer is on!

The chat interface between myself and that boy was still on the desktop!

fuck me!

I didn't manage the computer for a long time, and it came out in the middle of the chat. The main screen is now in a sleep state, and it will light up when touched, and once it is turned on, Gu Yuan can see the dialog box!

Ling Chao felt flustered, he clearly remembered what the last sentence of their conversation was, and it was so straightforward that everyone could understand it.Although he likes Gu Yuan very much, and he is indeed a little unhappy because of that little thing today, but he really doesn't want Gu Yuan to know about it, at least not now!

He felt that his whole body was shaking, his hands almost knocked over the iced teapot in the sink, and his feet were uncontrollably walking unsteadily.

Ling Chao took a deep breath, but he didn't tell Gu Yuan not to move, because there must be no rush.Gu Yuan was sitting in front of his computer, and the screen would light up automatically when he pressed the keyboard or moved the mouse.

He didn't know how he got to the bedroom, when he entered, Gu Yuan was checking something on the browser.

Ling Chao clenched his hands tightly in his pockets, he wanted to see something on Gu Yuan's face, but there was nothing, a normal expression, no different from his usual appearance.

Didn't he see it?So conspicuous!

Ling Chao couldn't figure out what was going on with Gu Yuan, but he didn't dare to ask directly now, and finally went out to the kitchen silently.

Ling Chao stood by the pool, staring at the pot of fruit tea in a daze, thinking a lot.

It would be best if Gu Yuan really didn't look at it at all.He doesn't know anything is what he hopes most now.

But if Gu Yuan saw it, then why is he like this now?don't care?or something else?
