growing up

Gu Yuan's new residence is an old community, but the overall environment is not bad.Although it is worse than the neighborhood where Ling Chao lived, it is much better than where Gu Yuan lived before.

They lived on the third floor with an elevator, and Qingqing couldn't go up and down the stairs for a long time, so even if the elevator had problems, Qingqing could afford to live on this floor.

When Ling Chao arrived, Gu Yuan was waiting for him at the stairs.He was leaning against the corner by the door, smoking a cigarette with his head down.Faint smoke spewed out and spread out in front of him, and the flickering cigarette butts flickered.

"Gu Yuan!" Ling Chao shouted.

Gu Yuan raised his head and saw Ling Chao smiled first, then put out his cigarette on the trash can next to him, and then came over.

He looked at the things in Ling Chao's hand, smiled helplessly and said, "You really are..."

Ling Chaohao handed him the fruit in his hand unceremoniously, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Let's go."

The elevator was not on the first floor, so the two of them went straight into the safe passage and walked up slowly.

"Brother Ling Chao, welcome!" Qingqing opened the door for them and said to Ling Chao.

"Here, I'll give you a gift." Ling Chao handed her the bag that he had been carrying all the time.

"Wow, I still have a gift? Thank you Brother Ling Chao." Qingqing took a look at it, like anime merchandise.

Gu Yuan gave Ling Chao the slippers and led him into the house.

This is a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The area is not small, and the decoration is also good. It doesn't feel as old as it looks on the outside.It seems to have been refurbished in the past two years.

Before Gu Yuan's mother came back, they were the only two siblings at home.On the coffee table in the living room there was still a lot of medicines just brought back.

Gu Qingqing sat on the sofa holding the gift Ling Chao gave her and looked at it. It was a pair of figures she had longed for for a long time, and it was a limited edition.Even if you go to Japan, it takes a lot of effort to buy it.

The three of them chatted and played around at home for a long time before Zhang Yun came back. They didn't say a word about the meeting in the afternoon until Ling Chao came home after dinner.

This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between Ling Chao and Zhang Yun.

In the last few days of the holiday, apart from occasionally going downstairs for a meal, Ling Chao followed Gu Yuan to the boxing gym a few times.Most of the time, Ling Chao would stay at home, and Gu Yuan would spare two or three hours to come over to him every day.Cook for him, and then read a book together.

Neither of them are the kind of people who like to go out, teenagers always live like old people.All I have to do is eat melon seeds and drink tea.Of course, they also drank tea, the fruit tea that Ling Chao had practiced to perfection.

In the time when the sky is full of snow, the start of school is still here.

They started school together with the seniors, and the remaining senior ones and senior twos still had a week off.

The outside temperature is really not very friendly, everyone is wrapped up like a big rice dumpling, and no one can recognize anyone.

Compared with the strangeness at the beginning of last semester, Ling Chao is already familiar with the road this time, and he quickly completed the formalities and returned to the classroom.

Most of the classmates have already arrived. When they saw Ling Chao, Wang Tian rushed up enthusiastically: "Ah, buddy, miss."

Shocked by his exaggerated movements, Ling Chao backed away again and again, but unfortunately the seat behind was not big. Seeing Wang Tian's arms were about to come up to him, Ling Chao bent over and staggered, then stepped over with the desk supported, and turned behind him She clasped his arm and said, "Stop, stop, why are you so excited this morning!"

Wang Tian was stopped by Ling Chao from behind and couldn't move. He didn't have time to see Ling Chao's movements clearly, so he laughed and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, let me express how I miss my idol. .”

"Yes, thank you, be normal." Ling Chao let go of him helplessly, took a step back, and kept a safe distance, "You guys arrived quite early."

Wang Tian also withdrew his quarrelsome thoughts, raised his hands in fear that Ling Chao would throw him over his shoulder, and turned sideways back to his seat: "I came to the city yesterday. How was it, did you enjoy the Chinese New Year?"

"It's pretty good." Ling Chao walked back to his seat.He saw Gu Yuan's bag on the chair, but he didn't notice it just now.But no one is here.

"Gu Yuan has come?" Ling Chao seemed to be talking to himself.

"Ah, he's been here for a while, and Erlin called him away." Wang Tian took out a fresh-keeping box from his bag and handed it to Ling Chao, "My mother's pork jerky is delicious! I brought it specially for you. .”

Ling Chao took it with a smile: "You make me a little embarrassed, I didn't bring you a gift."

"Hi, it's just my snacks, why are you so polite." Wang Tian waved his hands indifferently.

Gu Yuan came back half an hour later, and he followed Du Lin into the classroom.

The two didn't have time to say a word, they just looked at each other and smiled, and Du Lin began to speak on the podium.

Their tasks this semester are quite heavy. They have to finish all the courses of the third year of high school in advance. If everything goes well, they will enter the first round of review from the last month, and they will also make up lessons during the summer vacation. The vacation is only one week at most.

According to the progress of ordinary classes, they can be regarded as entering the third year of senior high school ahead of schedule.

Everyone in the first class of this learning intensity is mentally prepared.When Du Lin spoke, there was silence, and everyone looked extremely serious.

Cleaning of common areas has been canceled due to snow outside.Four or 50 people cleaned a classroom very quickly, and it was completed in a short while.

The difference from last semester is that the school exam will start tomorrow, and the repeated school life has officially begun.

"What are you going to do later?" After the cleaning was over and school was over, Ling Chao and Gu Yuan went out together.

"Going to the boxing gym, I asked He Nuo and the others to talk about it." Gu Yuan said.

"Oh, then I'll go home first. If you have time after talking, come and find me." Ling Chao looked at the time, and it was not even twelve o'clock.

"Okay." Gu Yuan said.

"I'm going to the bookstore in the afternoon, the one I went to with you and Qingqing before." Ling Chao said.

"Okay, then you go back and wait for me, I should be here soon." Gu Yuan said.

They parted at the turn, Gu Yuan turned around from the path behind the supermarket, and Ling Chao went home alone.

Aunt Chen came over yesterday, and the meal had just been cooked when Ling Chao returned.

"You're back, it's early today?" Aunt Chen was cleaning the kitchen when she heard the door open and said to the outside.

"Ah, there are few things to do today, the teacher let us go early." Ling Chao took off his coat on the sofa, and the tempting smell of food in the warm air caught the glutton in his stomach.

"It's so delicious! What delicious food do you cook?" Ling Chao came to the restaurant and saw the delicious sweet and sour pork ribs on the table. gone."

"As long as you like it." Aunt Chen wiped off the water on her apron, and took a bowl to serve Ling Chao with rice.

"I'll do it myself." Ling Chao stopped her.

"That's fine, you can eat it yourself. Send me a message about what you want to eat in the future, and I will try my best to make it for you." Aunt Chen said as she took off her apron and hung it up. "Then I'll go first."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Chen." Ling Chao came out with a good meal, "By the way, don't come over tonight, I'll go out to eat."

Aunt Chen was changing her shoes, when she heard Ling Chao speak, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she only replied: "Okay."

When Gu Yuan came over, Ling Chao was watching an original English movie in his room.Gu Yuan shook his head while listening to the plot without subtitles.

"Brother Chao, do you understand everything?" Gu Yuan asked, pointing at the TV screen.

"95." Ling Chao stared at the TV and said.

"..."

"Have you eaten yet?" Ling Chao asked.

"Eat." Gu Yuan gave up trying to listen, he could understand that the six or seven achievements were good, it seems that there is still a big gap between himself and Ling Chao in English.

Most of his efforts in learning English are in theory and exam questions, and he doesn't have much exercise in listening and speaking.Like Ling Chao, he often reads books in the original language and listens to movies in the original language, and almost never.

Ling Chao pulled him over to sit beside him, rubbed his hands and said: "Then you watch with me for a while, it's still halfway through, let's go to the bookstore after finishing."

Every time a line is spoken on TV, Ling Chao will translate it in a low voice, most of which even Gu Yuan can't understand what he is saying.Like an unconscious murmur.

One of Gu Yuan's hands was gently rubbed in the palm of his hand, and it felt a little itchy.But seeing him staring at the TV with full attention, and everything else seemed to be a habitual movement, Gu Yuan didn't break free and let Ling Chao hold it.

The protagonist's emotional expression became more and more obvious, and the scene of two people kissing lasted for several seconds.

Ling Chao was still immersed in the context without distracting thoughts, but he didn't see Gu Yuan whose expression was getting more and more wrong.

I don't know if it's because the heating in the house is too high, but gradually, Gu Yuan's hands are covered with sweat.

"Are you hot?" Ling Chao felt the wetness of his hands and turned to ask him.

"It's a little bit, it's okay." Gu Yuan lowered his head and said without daring to look directly into his eyes.

Ling Chao looked at Gu Yuan and found that his earlobe was flushed.The heating in the room is quite sufficient, but sitting here without exercising will not make it too hot.

Gu Yuan raised his head silently, and found that Ling Chao was still looking at him, his eyes dodging and he wanted to get up.

If Ling Chao still couldn't see it, it would be a waste of his being nearly two years older than Gu Yuan.

He held Gu Yuan tightly with one hand, wrapped the other around the back of his neck and put it on his shoulder, and said teasingly, "You are so shy!"

"No..." Gu Yuan couldn't get up, so he had to give up.

Ling Chao approached him: "Then...do you want to kiss too?"

Gu Yuan tilted his neck back, but Ling Chao got closer, but he didn't really stick to him, it was clearly teasing him on purpose.

In the next second, Ling Chao felt his lips were covered.He let out a loud bang and left again.

While Ling Chao was still in a daze, Gu Yuan quickly got out of the shackles and jumped behind the sofa.

"Fuck, am I being teased?" Ling Chao nodded his lips, looking at Gu Yuan who had successfully escaped and said.

"Who told you...to do that." Gu Yuan's heart beat extremely fast just now, and he has kissed Ling Chao so many times, and he has never been so flustered.Because it was his little mind that was smashed just now, it was embarrassing and messy.

The movie was coming to an end, but Ling Chao didn't want to watch it anymore.He beckoned, signaling Gu Yuan to come over.

"You won't hit me, will you?" Gu Yuan asked from a distance as before.

"Have you ever seen me hit you? I can't beat you if I beat myself, okay?" Ling Chao said helplessly.

Gu Yuan was right when he thought about it, and slowly moved over.

But as soon as he reached the edge of the sofa, Ling Chao grabbed him and hooked his feet. Before Gu Yuan could cry out in surprise, Ling Chao pressed him on the sofa.

"Didn't you agree not to hit me?" Gu Yuan squinted at Ling Chao who was on top of him and asked.

"I won't hit you, because I want to kiss you!" Ling Chao pressed Gu Yuan with his legs, pressed his hands on top of his head with one hand, lifted Gu Yuan's chin with the other, and kissed it slowly .
