the world in which he exists

Forty people plus an enthusiastic geography teacher are in a small classroom. Four electric fans are turning in unison, and the one closest to the back door is the loudest.

A small notebook escaped the sight of the geography teacher on the stage, passed through the desks that were not neatly arranged, passed through the hands of several classmates, and finally arrived at Gu Chaoming's desk.

The notebook is about the size of a palm, small but thick, with a leather cover.

Ever since he and Gu Chaoming became a study group, Lin Jianfan struggled with how to do what Old Chen said to learn from each other.Lin Jianfan didn't control Gu Chaoming more, and would not chase Gu Chaoming to learn just because he was in a group.Old Chen said that he would not pursue it. Lin Jianfan didn't want the group to be useless, and he didn't want to oppress Gu Chaoming to study too much, so he prepared a notebook to copy all the homework every day, and wrote down the due date of homework and the teacher's notes for each subject. Work requirements.

The first time I asked others to pass it on during class breaks. Lin Jianfan wrote down the purpose of the notebook on the first page, and copied down today's homework. Unexpectedly, when the notebook came back the next day, there was a message from Gu Chaoming on it.

"Fortunately, you just treat it as me, so you don't have to write every day."

Seeing that Fan was disobedient, Lin ran over after school the next day and handed him the notebook he copied from his homework.

"I even said no need." Gu Chaoming said to Lin Jianfan who was holding a thick homework excerpt.

Seeing Lin Jianfan's bewildered and bewildered expression, Gu Chaoming's heart suddenly softened, and he took the notebook in Lin Jianfan's hand: "Then...that's fine, you keep copying, I don't know how to write anyway."

From then on, Lin Jianfan insisted on copying his homework for several days, and Gu Chaoming would write and draw in his notebook when he was bored at home.

The open homework copybook was spread out on the table, the handwriting was correct, as if it was written with a ruler, not crooked at all, even the recitation that the teacher said in class to be checked tomorrow was written on it.

Gu Chaoming admired this seriousness.

With only a few minutes left to finish class, Gu Chaoming closed the homework book from Lin Jianfan and put it in his schoolbag.

All the students in the class like the geography teacher, because the geography teacher has one advantage-it doesn't delay the class.As soon as the get out of class bell rang, the geography teacher packed up the lesson plans, and the students below packed up their schoolbags.

There is still a homework book that has not been handed out. The class representative told the students not to leave. He went to the office to move the homework first.

It doesn't matter if Gu Chaoming and Su Bing wait until tomorrow morning to copy, but the three of them, Cen Xili, the top student, need to wait, and Gu Chaoming is not in a hurry, and sits safely in his seat.

The students after school were in a hurry to go home, a pile of homework was scattered on the desk, and everyone huddled together in the homework pile to find their own homework books.Gu Chaoming told Cen Xili not to move, and helped Cen Xili get the homework by virtue of his height and eyesight.

In the messy pile of homework, after taking the homework of Cen Xili, himself and Su Bing, a homework book with the word "Fan" appeared in Gu Chaoming's field of vision.Lin Jianfan was the only one in the class with the word Fan in his name, and Gu Chaoming helped Lin Jianfan get the homework when he saw it.

Thinking that Lin Jianfan should look for his homework in the crowd, but he took the homework and glanced around but saw no one.

Lin Jianfan's desk hadn't been cleared yet, and Gu Chaoming saw the textbooks spread out on Lin Jianfan's desk from a distance, and he didn't take his schoolbag.

Through the glass windows of the classroom, Gu Chaoming discovered that Lin Jianfan was sweeping the floor in the corridor outside.

Putting the homework on Lin Jianfan's desk, Gu Chaoming returned to his seat.

After getting homework, Cen Xili unzipped the schoolbag and put the homework book in the school bag, while Gu Chaoming directly put the homework book on the pile of books on the desk.

Cen Xili glanced at the homework book abandoned by Gu Chaoming on the pile of books: "This is quite simple, you should be able to do it."

"I don't want to do it today." Gu Chaoming replied seemingly casually.

Cen Xili said it was easy and he wanted to try it too, but what the top ten schoolmasters in the class said was easy and what he understood was not at the same level, so Gu Chaoming decided to forget it after thinking about it.

Su Bing came over with his schoolbag on his back, and the three of them walked out of the classroom together. Passing through the hallway, Gu Chaoming and Lin Jianfan, who was sweeping the floor, said, "I put your homework on the table for you."

"Thank you."

Thank you is synonymous with Lin Jianfan, he says "thank you" and "thank you" to everyone every day.

From the reminder at the beginning to Gu Chaoming's getting used to it later, Lin Jianfan's thank you and sorry have lost their value.

"Lin Jianfan is sweeping the floor again today, didn't he just finish sweeping on Monday?" Cen Xili asked after going down the stairs.

Gu Chaoming shook his head: "Didn't he sweep the floor today?"

Gu Chaoming looked at Su Bing, who was sitting behind Lin Jianfan, and Su Bing looked at me for some reason: "I don't know why Lin Jianfan is sweeping the floor today, I'm just his back desk, your neighbor knows what your dad is doing today Come back for dinner?"

"Mom is very angry today." Gu Chaoming said.

"No." Su Bing argued.

Gu Chaoming asked with a smile: "Have you broken up with your fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged man?"

Su Bing looked over: "How do you know?"

Even Cen Xili couldn't help laughing: "I haven't heard much about her recently, so it's a breakup."

Su Bing snorted: "This time we really broke up, and I'm free again."

Gu Chaoming smiled and said to Cen Xili: "Let's count how many times Su Xiaoma has returned to freedom."

Gu Chaoming folded his fingers and started counting, but Cen Xili interrupted him: "Don't count, as many ex-girlfriends as he has, he has regained his freedom."

Su Bing squinted at Cen Xili and Gu Chaoming who were teasing him vigorously, and saw Chen Haiyang approaching from a distance: "The road to the enemy is narrow."

Gu Chaoming, Cen Xili, and Su Bing stood in the school lobby, while Chen Haiyang walked from the opposite side alone.As soon as they saw Chen Haiyang, Gu Chaoming and Su Bing automatically entered the state of protecting Cen Xili.Chen Haiyang didn't know what evil idea he had, but he was afraid that he would hurt Cen Xili.

The two sides passed each other, and when Gu Chaoming and Su Bing passed by, they heard Chen Haiyang's tut-tsk sound.

A rubbing of shoulders, a few "tsk tsk", disdainful eyes.

Su Bing's anger was ignited at once. He was already angry because he broke up with his girlfriend, but seeing Chen Haiyang's arrogant appearance was even more unbearable.

There was a gust of wind, and there was an empty area around him, Cen Xi immediately reacted and pulled Su Bing to keep him out of trouble.

Pulling Su Bing and hearing movement behind him, Cen Xili turned around, and a tall figure stood by the stairs.

Behind him is the setting sun at the entrance of the teaching building. The temperature has not dropped, and he is still wearing the blue and white school uniform and baggy school trousers.

You Xin stood by the stairs, silent as usual just watching a farce, blinked, and looked down at Cen Xili who turned around.

You Xin always appeared in his world suddenly, without warning, and he was caught off guard before he was ready.

Cen Xili can always arrange other people's affairs in an orderly manner, but when it comes to his own affairs—about You Xin's affairs, he will be beaten back to his original form.

Cen Xili and You Xin looked at each other from a distance of several meters. The time they looked at each other was very short, only a few seconds. Finally, You Xin looked away first, and Cen Xili lowered his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Su Bing grabbed Chen Haiyang's shoulder.

Cen Xili ran over and pulled Su Bing, while Gu Chaoming stood aside and stared at the silent You Xin.

"Why don't you explain everything clearly today." Gu Chaoming said to You Xin.

Su Bing had just been pulled over here, and Gu Chaoming started over there again.

"Gu Shuai, let's go." Cen Xili pulled Su Bing to Gu Chaoming's side, and pulled Su Bing away from the right and wrong place with each hand.

"You two, don't be so aggressive, don't explode at the first pick." Cen Xili advised them.

"Where am I rushing, is the sea dog's mouth smelly?" Su Bing was really angry today.

Gu Chaoming felt it, and came over and patted Su Bing on the shoulder: "Forget it, Xi Li has to go home. Didn't you just break up with your girlfriend? You really like it? This breakup is such a big reaction. "

Su Bing said uncomfortably, "A little bit."

"I didn't expect to hear this from you." Gu Chaoming was stared at by Su Bing after he finished speaking.

Gu Chaoming patted Su Bing's shoulder and smiled: "Okay, why don't we break up? Later, I will eat popsicles to calm your anger. For the sake of your broken relationship, I invite you this time."

"You said that." Su Bing regained his energy.

"Is what I said false?" Gu Chaoming looked at Cen Xili, "Xili, are you going?"

Cen Xili shook his head: "I have to go home."

"That's fine."

In the cold drink shop outside the school, Gu Chaoming and Su Bing each had a big cone. After Gu Chaoming paid, Su Bing, who was on the same road, kept scolding the provocative Chen Haiyang and the inactive You Xin.

After getting off the car and walking into the community, Gu Chaoming habitually went to the canteen to ask Aunt Cheng if Gu Tao was there and if he had seen him today.

The setting sun wandered in the corridor, and Gu Chaoming stepped on the dusty stairs.Behind him dragged a long shadow, which was divided into jagged shapes by the stairs.When Gu Chaoming walked to his house, Aunt Cheng said that Gu Tao came to buy a pack of cigarettes this morning and then left the community.

The key was inserted into the keyhole, the door lock turned, Gu Chaoming felt the silence inside the door through an iron door.

Gu Tao should not be at home, Gu Chaoming opened the door suddenly, and the opened door brought a gust of wind.

There was no one inside the door, and the setting sun sneaked in through the open windows.

Gu Chaoming breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and closed the door, put down his schoolbag and went to the bathroom first.

After eating, washing the dishes and taking a bath, the setting sun sneaking in from outside the window quietly escaped from the window again, and the night was lying by the window to join in the fun.

The night outside the window attracted gusts of summer wind, and Gu Chaoming was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone and it was nine o'clock before he knew it.Time is lost, Gu Chaoming doesn't know what he did in a day, it seems to be repeated every day.

Eating, bathing, sleeping, playing with mobile phones, playing with mobile phones in class, smoking after class... After a day in a hurry, there is no real feeling, only the constantly changing numbers on the mobile phone tell him that it is now the time of your life, and how many times have you spent today? Hours, how many hours do you have left to lose today.

Gu Chaoming swiped his phone, took the schoolbag in a bored manner, and opened the homework notebook that Lin Jianfan gave him.Although Gu Chaoming didn't do the homework on the notebook, it was very interesting to write a message to Lin Jianfan.

Lin saw that Fan was too serious, and sometimes his answers made people laugh.

Gu Chaoming was lying on the sofa, with his homework book leaning on his arched legs, and holding a fountain pen in his hand to leave a message for Lin Jianfan.

The phone on the coffee table was turned on, and when he picked it up, Gu Chaoming immediately closed the homework book he was writing, sat up and put the notebook on the cleaned coffee table.

"Hey, Mom."

The smile on Gu Chaoming's face for leaving a message for Lin Jianfan was instantly filled with Qu Yingyi's phone call.

"Have you eaten, it's so late." Qu Yingyi asked.

"Eat it already." Gu Chaoming said.

"Is Gu Tao back today?"

"No."

Gu Tao came back in the middle of the night last night, and Gu Chaoming vaguely heard him throwing up in his sleep, but Gu Chaoming ignored him.

Qu Yingyi said: "I've been busy with some things recently, so many things have been delayed."

Gu Chaoming didn't ask what she was busy with, he was only worried about his mother's health: "How is your body?"

"I've been training, don't worry."

Gu Chaoming asked again: "Mom, how are you doing in your new home? Are they treating you well?"

Gu Chaoming seemed to speak easily, just asking casually, but before speaking, Gu Chaoming had been deliberating and selecting words, repeatedly choosing, and finally chose the word "new home".

"He is very good to me, and so is his daughter. Her daughter likes me very much. I was worried that children would hate my stepmother, but she called me mother yesterday and sang English songs to me at school."

There was a smile in Qu Yingyi's words, which Gu Chaoming could hear through the phone.

His mother's happiness is his greatest happiness.

Gu Chaoming said: "That's good."

"You will be his elder brother in the future, do you want to have a younger sister?"

Gu Chaoming smiled, he has always been an only child, he has no brothers and sisters, and he has never experienced the feeling of growing up with someone by his side.

Gu Chaoming didn't know if he could be a good brother.

"It will be a few days before his parents come to live with us. I'm still a little worried. It's been a long time since I had this kind of worry."

"It's like the nervousness of a little girl meeting her parents."

Gu Chaoming made Qu Yingyi laugh with one sentence: "Your mother is so old, she's still a little girl, she's not seventeen or eighteen."

"You are seventeen or eighteen years old." Gu Chaoming said.

"You child," Qu Yingyi smiled, "I'll pick you up when everything settles down here, and wait a little longer."

Gu Chaoming said "hmm", knowing that his mother was not easy.

The next day, Lin Jianfan received only half of the homework notebook Gu Chaoming left a message on, and Gu Chaoming didn't finish writing it, so he hung up Qu Yingyi's phone and forgot that he hadn't finished writing it.

The temperature drops at night, and there are sparks in the depths of the night, half of which are stars in the sky and half of which are lights on the ground.

The lights in the bedroom are all extinguished, the starlight shines alone outside the window, and the moonlight inside the window will not completely darken.Yueshuang covered the furniture, and Gu Chaoming lay on the bed, staring at the wardrobe covered by Yueshuang.

I heard that the conditions there are very good. After all, the man is a fairly successful businessman. He has only met once, and he is well-dressed.Gu Chaoming lay on the bed imagining his future life, imagining the little girl calling him brother, and thinking of the "brother" brainwashed by Su Bing's crooked little girlfriend.

The girl can already sing English songs when she is in kindergarten, and Qu Yingyi said that she can also speak in English fluently.

If I go to that new home, the little girl asks him questions in English, if the man asks about his grades...

The night has not only darkness, but also the cranky thoughts of people who can't sleep.

Gu Chaoming, who had been slacking off all this time and taking every step counting, suddenly realized his own shortcomings deeply in the moonlit night.
