growing up

Since only students from a few key classes participated in the opening exam, the difficulty of the exam questions has also been greatly increased.They made a ranking among several classes, and re-selected the list of students for the first class according to this ranking.

Several of those with unsatisfactory scores were transferred to the later key classes, and a few who had risen in rank entered the first class.

On the day of the transfer, everyone in class one was dumbfounded.This kind of reality that only speaks according to the score makes everyone more stressed.And this is their status quo, they must face it.

The reorganized Class One is the rocket class of a key high school like No. [-] Middle School, so one can imagine the heavy workload.Even if the students in the class are all academic figures, their faces are all gloomy under such intensity.

This state may continue until the third year of high school, and it will not disappear, but it will become more urgent day by day.

Ling Chao and Gu Yuan had promised each other that they would not give up the first or second places to others. Ling Chao still had to prepare for the IELTS test, and Gu Yuan had never stopped programming work.They spend more time on study every day, and the way of falling in love has become communication and learning.

Last semester, Gu Yuan could go to Ling Chao's for a while at noon, but now his mother and Qingqing are here, in order to prevent his mother from expressing objections, he now goes home for dinner at noon.

Seeing that it has been a month since the start of school, there are more and more exams, big and small.Before I knew it, Class One had almost completed the last semester of the third year of high school.

They don't need detailed explanations bit by bit. The teachers of each subject grasp the key points of each section, the students do more exercises, and then a pile of test papers sweeps them every day.

The weather is getting warmer, at least it is no longer a snowy and white world outside, and the occasional sunshine will come to the earth, giving this group of teenagers who have been soaking in the piles of exercises all day a little reason to contact the outside air.

Du Lin kept their physical education classes for two periods a week, and required the students in class one to go to the playground for activities during these two periods, and they were not allowed to bring books or stay in the classroom.Even if you just go to the playground to be in a daze, it's like emptying your mind.

The weather was good that day, with plenty of sunshine, and the air was less chilly. Standing under the sun, you could still feel a bit of warmth.

In the physical education class in the afternoon, Mr. Hu didn't lead the whole training, so he asked everyone to run two laps to warm up, and then dismissed them to let them move freely.It can also be regarded as a chance to relax in such a fine weather for this group of children who can only immerse themselves in studying hard.

For some reason, Ling Chao, who has always been in good health, suddenly has a slight cold these two days.He shouldn't have been sick for two years. Although it wasn't too serious, he still felt a little uncomfortable with a stuffy nose and sore throat. He didn't get better after taking the medicine.Gu Yuan went back at noon and made ginger tea for him. It was stored in a giant thermos, and he was pouring a cup for him right now.

Wang Tian, ​​Chen Yu and the other boys were leaning against a ping pong table that no one was playing with them.Most of the disbanded students on the playground are taking a walk, and they really use this time to relax.

"The weather is pretty good today, why don't we go play a game," Wang Tian said, "I haven't played a game for a long time."

"Yeah, last year when it was cold we still went to play, why don't we want to play this year?" Xu Ziqiang said.

"Because you're afraid of being kicked out of class one next semester." Xiao Yuping joked on the sidelines.

"Get out..." Xu Ziqiang patted him on the back, "Don't bully me, an individual who is trying to survive on the borderline, okay?"

"This is life. Who made class one the guarantee for further education? If I were to be knocked down, my mother would definitely break my leg." Zhang Cheng said with a sigh.

"Let's be okay, we won't be unable to stay in class one," Chen Yu said.

"That means you three..." Xu Ziqiang nodded Chen Yu, Ling Chao and Gu Yuan with his hands, "I really have to work hard to keep my ranking. I am so addicted to studying all day long that I can't extricate myself!"

"It's all right, don't sigh, go play ball." Wang Tian looked at the time, and it didn't take long for a class, but now more than ten minutes have passed.

As usual, Ling Chao and Gu Yuan watched from the sidelines, while the others played.

The ball is played in a disorganized way, a self-made team, whoever grabs the ball will take the ball, and then look for opportunities to layup.Even so, they had a great time.

Gu Yuan hugged the clothes of several people on the field, and Ling Chao sat beside him, sipping ginger tea.The sun at two or three o'clock in the afternoon is the most comfortable time, and it is warm on the body.

After Ling Chao took the last sip in his hand, he buckled the cup made of the thermos lid and put it aside, stood up and moved his limbs tired due to illness a few times.He tilted his head and looked down at Gu Yuan condescendingly, but found that Gu Yuan seemed to be in a daze.

He was sitting on the audience stage, with several cotton padded clothes in his arms, which were barely fixed between his legs and chest cavity by his hands.He stared straight ahead, motionless.

Ling Chao bent down to look, then looked forward in the direction of his eyes, and went straight across the field to the wall.

"Hey!" Ling Chao waved a hand in front of his eyes, "What are you thinking?"

Gu Yuan was obviously taken aback, and jumped forward, only to be stabilized by Ling Chao holding his shoulder.

"No." Gu Yuan's eyes drifted for a moment, and he replied in a somewhat evasive manner.

Ling Chao sat down again, took a few pieces of clothes from his arms and hugged them, turned his head to Gu Yuan's arms lying on the clothes and asked: "I found that you are always absent-minded these days, and I didn't ask you before. Thought you were tired."

Gu Yuan looked at Ling Chao, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's really all right. Just... just stay in a daze."

Ling Chao didn't believe that Gu Yuan would be in such a daze at all.He has always been light-hearted, and he used to talk less because he had a cold personality.He will sit silently next to you without saying a word, but he will always pay attention to the actions and words of the people around him.But in the past few days, whenever he has free time, Gu Yuan seems to be in a trance.When in the classroom, he would lie down directly and bury his face in his arms. Sometimes when he exposed his eyes, he would find that he was staring straight ahead without focusing.

Qingqing has been in good health recently, and Ling Chao only went to their house for dinner on Sunday.I haven't heard of any other things affecting him, but why is Gu Yuan so abnormal recently?

Seeing that Gu Yuan was still unwilling to speak, Ling Chao didn't ask any more questions.Ling Chao has always respected each other's privacy, as long as Gu Yuan doesn't want to talk, he will definitely not get to the bottom of it.

The get out of class bell rang, and the teaching building began to boil.The unscrupulous students who poured out occupied all parts of the school in a short while.

A few people on the court are in high spirits, but time does not allow, so they can only give up.

They jumped onto the audience stand in front of Ling Chao and Gu Yuan, and took away their clothes one by one.

"Let's go, let me invite you to drink water." Chen Yu hung his clothes on his arms, and his whole body was still hot after exercising.

"You guys go, I'm going to the toilet, I just drank too much ginger tea." Ling Chao handed the thermos to Gu Yuan, "You help me take it back to the classroom."

"Then what do you drink? We'll bring it back for you." Chen Yu asked Ling Chao.

"No need, I still have half a pot of ginger tea here." Ling Chao pointed to the kettle Gu Yuan was carrying and said.

Chen Yu took a look and knew that Ling Chao was not being polite, so he didn't say any more, and the group separated.

The weather in April is like a floating electrocardiogram, with highs and lows.Fortunately, Ling Chao recovered from his cold within a few days.

This Saturday morning, Gu Yuan brought Ling Chao rock sugar pears over, but his hoarseness was still a little bit unrecovered.

"I'm already healed. Is your anesthesia so early in the morning troublesome?" Ling Chao took the fresh-keeping box Gu Yuan gave him, feeling both moved and helpless.

These days, it's either ginger tea or sugar water. People who are usually so busy that they don't even have time to take a nap, are so worried about their own small cold.

"I set the time in the rice cooker at night, just go out in the morning." Gu Yuan said with a smile.

His eyes were black and blue, especially against his fair skin.I don't know if it's because of the rush of work and staying up too long lately.

"Don't try too hard, didn't you say that you are not nervous about money?" Ling Chao couldn't help pinching his palm.

"It's okay." Gu Yuan held Ling Chao back and rubbed his fingers back and forth on the back of his hand, "I'm used to it. After a few days, I will definitely go to bed early."

The early-reading students in the classroom were very serious, and no one paid attention to the little actions of the two of them in the last row.Looking at Gu Yuan's slightly haggard face, Ling Chao frowned in distress.

Sometimes, Ling Chao really wants to tell Gu Yuan not to be so busy, not to be so tired.Even though he was still so young, he always took on too many responsibilities.If it was really for money, Ling Chao even hoped that he could help him.

But Ling Chao also knows that Gu Yuan's life is not entirely for money, let alone accepting his money.

At the very beginning, when Gu Yuan discovered his talent on computers, he didn't think much about it.It was only after Uncle Niu introduced him to his first job that he realized that he could make money in this way.

At that time, his father was still there, and the burden of the family could still be borne. After all, Gu Yuanbi was young, and usually only thought that he could protect his sister well. He was more interested in studying pathology books.

But after my father left, my sister became seriously ill once.That time, the family spent almost all their savings to keep their sister.

Gu Yuan also understood the importance of money at that time.He knew that with his own ability, he couldn't help his sister medically at this stage, so he could only make more money.

For more than a year, he wanted to finish the book quickly and tried his best to catch up with the progress of his studies. At the same time, he worked hard to learn programming and took on more jobs.

As he himself said, he got used to it.When I have a job, it is common to sleep four or five hours a day.

Ling Chao opened the lid, and the sweet smell of rock candy Sydney came over his face.He took a sip, it was warm and moderately sweet.When the sugar water slides down the throat, it is warm and very comfortable.

Gu Yuan had earphones plugged into his ears, and he opened and closed his mouth to read something. He should be listening to Ling Chao's spoken English practice for him.There was a scrap of straw paper on the table, and a string of letters was written on it from time to time.

Ling Chao smiled silently, cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and focused on the IELTS preparation materials while drinking sugar water.

The author has something to say:

77 posted here

The lips touched, very warm and moist.Hot and soft, extraordinary emotion.

Ling Chao originally wanted to tease, but after posting it, he just let Lun down.

Gu Yuan didn't dare to move, he even stopped breathing.But Ling Chao licked his lips bit by bit, making them hotter and hotter.

He felt his whole body was burning, and his heart was beating out of order.The suppressed limbs also lost strength, and they slumped on the sofa, allowing Ling Chao to slowly open his teeth.

The moment it was opened, gasps came from within, mixed with the cheers at the end of the movie, and exploded in the room.

The corners of Ling Chao's mouth raised, but he didn't stop.He saw that Gu Yuan seemed to have lost his strength, so he let go of his hand, and slowly stroked his arm to the top of his head.

Gu Yuan's hair was already a finger long, and it fell fluffy on the leather cushion of the sofa.Ling Chao's fingers penetrated into it, and Gu Yuan's scalp went numb.

The finger that lifted the chin went all the way down, slowly falling from the neck to the waist.

The slightly slippery sweater that was rubbed when he fell just now exposed his waist, and the T-shirt inside was bound up by the sports pants.

Ling Chao's hand slowly touched it in, and he could feel Gu Yuan's slender waist through a layer of fabric.

This action made Gu Yuan panic, and bit Ling Chao's lip again without paying attention to his teeth.

"Hiss...you hit and hugged me again?" Ling Chao stepped back a little, staring into Gu Yuan's eyes and asked.

"I..." Gu Yuan only felt that his head was congested, and Ling Chao's hands were still swimming in his clothes. Every time he passed by, he felt the temperature of his body getting higher. After a while, his whole body felt like it was going to explode. generally.

He frowned, his eyes were blurred, and he bit his lower lip in order to restrain the scream that was about to blurt out.The flushed face was in stark contrast to the pale lips.

It was the first time Ling Chao saw such an extremely forbearing expression on Gu Yuan's face.He didn't care about the pain on his lips, nor the restlessness brought about by his body.Holding up Gu Yuan's face with one hand, pressing the clenched lips with his thumb, forcing them to separate, and then taking advantage of the jaws that had not yet closed quickly, he began to aggressively attack Gu Yuan's mouth.

At some point, Gu Yuan's arms wrapped around Ling Chao's neck, and his palm slipped from the back of his neck into his collar, touching a piece of hot and smooth skin.

But the collar was restricted, and Gu Yuan longed for more in his heart. He fumbled with his hands indiscriminately, but lifted Ling Chao's half of his clothes right in the middle of the essentials.

Even though the heating in the room was sufficient and the atmosphere was warm at the moment, the moment his skin, which was not covered by the clothing, still gave him a jolt when it came into contact with the air.

Ling Chao opened his eyes abruptly, only to realize that one hand was pressed behind Gu Yuan's back, and the swelling pain somewhere in his body became clear.

His rationality was pulled back a little, and he tried his best to let go of the entangled tongue with Gu Yuan.

Ling Chao propped up one hand, separated his upper body slightly, and then used the strength of his knees to hang his whole body above Gu Yuan.

The movie has ended, and the TV screen jumps to the web search interface, silently.The only sound left in the whole room was the rapid breathing of each other, one after another, combined with the image of violently heaving chest and disheveled clothes, it seemed extraordinarily blurred.

Ling Chao pulled out the hand that was still pressed on the back of Gu Yuan's clothes, pulled off the sweater that had been pushed to his chest by Gu Yuan, and jumped off with one foot on the ground.

Gu Yuan put his hand down slowly, put it on his face, and lay there without moving.

For a while, no one dared to speak, the feeling of emotion was still in him, and he had no intention of retreating.Ling Chao's sweater is quite long, and the design of the jeans is not particularly obvious.But Gu Yuan was still wearing his school uniform, and the clothes he messed up just now were still hanging on half his waist, and a corner of the white T-shirt inside was torn open, revealing a piece of white skin.The part of the trousers is particularly conspicuous, and it has remained unchanged for a long time, which seems to indicate that the young man cannot calm his heart.

After a long time, Ling Chao's breathing finally calmed down a bit.He slowly sat next to Gu Yuan's calf, looked at Gu Yuan who was still maintaining his original posture with his eyes covered, and lightly touched his leg.

"Are you... uncomfortable?" Ling Chao asked.

But after asking, I felt a little regretful, what is this all about?

Gu Yuan still didn't move.

"How about...cough... you can solve it yourself?" Ling Chao said with difficulty.

In fact, when Ling Chao just got up, Gu Yuan knew that Ling Chao would not have any contact with him at least now.Everything just now was done by instinct, and none of them thought that they would almost miss a gun while kissing.

Gu Yuan has never practiced it himself, but he understands the theory.The reason why he is still like this is because on the one hand he really can't move, and on the other hand he is a little embarrassed.

Ling Chao waited for a long time and still didn't get an answer, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.He walked over and squatted beside Gu Yuan's head, slowly took off the arm covering his eyes, supported his face and turned to himself, and said, "What's on your mind, can you tell me?"

Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, Ling Chao's face was close at hand, eyes full of tenderness.He pursed his lips and called out in a slightly hoarse voice: "Brother Chao."

"I'm here." Ling Chao put his forehead against his, and shook it lightly, as if coaxing him.

Gu Yuan waited for Ling Chao to raise his head, and stared at him intently, as if he wanted to see through: "You... Is it because I'm too young?"

Gu Yuan has always been straightforward, but in the current atmosphere, Ling Chao still wanted to escape for a moment with such a question.

Gu Yuan's eyes were so sincere that Ling Chao had no choice but to follow his train of thought.

"Yes, but not only you, I am also young, some things must be kept."

"Then can I know the age limit?" Gu Yuan asked again.

"What age limit?" Ling Chao didn't respond.

"Just, the age at which it can happen just now." Gu Yuan said.

Gu Yuan's expression was very serious, he had been staring at Ling Chao from the beginning without moving his eyes, and even grabbed Ling Chao tightly when Ling Chao wanted to dodge, forcing Ling Chao to look at him.

In the end, Ling Chao couldn't escape, and seemed to be making a decision to himself and said: "When you become an adult."

Gu Yuan smiled, and the seriousness just now collapsed in an instant, as if Ling Chao's words were a reassurance, and also broke all the embarrassment and confusion before.

Gu Yuan turned his head and looked up at the ceiling, the glazed ornaments of the ceiling lamp refracted the light outside, flashing bright spots.

After lying down for a while, Gu Yuan finally calmed down.He sat up and said to Ling Chao, "Let's go, let's go to the bookstore."

Ling Chao rubbed his hair, and smoothed the messy hair at the back, then turned and walked to the bedroom: "I'm going to get the bag."

There are not many people in the bookstore today, except for a few people reading books, there are almost no people walking around.

Ling Chao went straight to the floor where test materials for various subjects were sold, and focused on selecting the materials to be used for the IELTS test.

"You are..." Gu Yuan saw that the few books he took had nothing to do with what he was studying now, so he couldn't help being a little puzzled.

"I think I passed the IELTS this semester." Ling Chao said while flipping through the book, but his eyes drifted to Gu Yuan.

"Oh." Hearing this, Gu Yuan just nodded slightly.

"How about you, too?" Ling Chao waved a selected book in front of his eyes, and was relieved when he saw Gu Yuan's expression was normal.

Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's a bit difficult for me to learn by myself."

"You must have no problem with the written test, just practice your speaking and listening more." Ling Chao said, "Actually, it's not for the test, but for yourself."

They were alone in the area they were visiting now, and they were hidden by rows of bookshelves.They spoke in extremely low voices, communicating at just enough volume for each other to hear.

"You still don't study at night?" Ling Chao asked him.

"Yes." Gu Yuan replied.

"Why don't I apply for it too?" Ling Chao muttered to himself, "Actually, someone like me can't get a place in the school. Say it?"

"Aren't you taking the college entrance examination?" Gu Yuan asked.

"Examination, I want to enjoy a complete high school life." Ling Chao finished turning one row and moved to the front row.

"The self-study is actually a part of a complete high school life." Gu Yuan said as he walked beside him.

"That's right," Ling Chao smacked his lips, and took a book from the top row, "Does our school recommend it?"

Gu Yuan took the one he had chosen before, and made it easier for him to flip through the book: "Yes."

"So, will you be escorted?" Ling Chao was dissatisfied with the book he took down, and put it back again.

"No." Gu Yuan replied very simply.

"Why?" Ling Chao stopped and looked at him and asked.The two of them hadn't considered this topic before, and they were really puzzled when it was brought up suddenly.

Gu Yuan said in a clear way: "Guarantees are usually sent to certain schools and fixed majors. Before, I would not want to go because of Qingqing, but now that my mother is back, I just want to go to the one I want to go to." school. And it was never on our school's walk."

"Then... where do you want to go?" Ling Chao asked again.

"The University of Science and Technology in W City has the strongest computer major in the country." Gu Yuan's eyes suddenly seemed to be brightened.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is just the school that Gu Yuan wanted to enter.But Ling Chao knew what this meant to Gu Yuan.

Most of his previous life revolved around his younger sister. Perhaps the beginning of doing programming was only because he discovered his talent in this area, and he happened to be introduced to He Nuo and Wang Zibo by an acquaintance, so that he could rely on This makes money.

In order to cope with the not-cheap medical expenses, he found that the income brought by this line of work was good, so he persisted.With his current level and his own efforts to study in the future, it is not a big problem to maintain his sister's medical expenses by doing procedures.As for the university, choose one that is close to home and convenient for taking care of my sister.But now that his mother is back and his sister has support, he can also pursue his deeper dreams.It's not that he doesn't have a favorite school, it's just that these were extravagant hopes for him.

He doesn't think about it, and refuses to think about it.

Ling Chao leaned over and kissed him on the top of his head, and couldn't help rubbing it twice before saying, "Go if you want. With the strength of my Xiaoyuan, the strongest in the country is worthy of it!"
