the world in which he exists

As soon as the car approached the school the next day, Gu Chaoming looked out the window to see if there was any suspicious person.

Gu Tao didn't even see him, Gu Chaoming guessed that Gu Tao might have been drinking again yesterday and didn't get up today.

There was a physical education class in the afternoon, and Su Bing took advantage of the physical education class to play a good game to relax.

Gu Chaoming did his homework at noon and didn't go to sleep. He just took the English class he hated the most. He lay down on the table listlessly and complained to Cen Xili: "What English class is this afternoon?"

When the class bell rang, Gu Chaoming still lay on the table and did not want to move: "I need a cup of coffee now."

Su Bing patted Gu Chaoming on the back: "What you need now is a ball, not a cup of coffee, physical education class, let's go, borrow a ball."

Gu Chaoming sat up energetically after hearing the game: "Let's go."

The sun was a bit hot, and I had a great time playing with Su Bing in one class, driving away all the fatigue in my body, sweating profusely, and my hair was all wet with sweat.

When class was about to end, the physical education teacher called to gather. Gu Chaoming walked through the team with the ball in his arms. When he passed by Lin Jianfan, he unconsciously took a closer look.

Lin Jianfan was sweating like him, but not as much as he was. Gu Chaoming could feel that Lin Jianfan was also steaming after exercise.

It seems that he is also exercising, but I didn't see him on the basketball court. Did he go to play something else?

The sports committee reported the number in front, and Gu Chaoming asked Su Bing: "Who released the ball?"

"Old rules." Su Bing said.

The three of them stood together, and the front counted the three of them quietly rock-paper-scissors.

Cen Xili easily won the first round, but Su Bing refused to accept it: "Xili won every time, and he didn't miss the ball a few times."

Gu Chaoming was also surprised: "Xili, why are you so strong in rock-paper-scissors?"

"You two fight to the death." Cen Xili said.

After playing, Gu Chaoming's mood was like a ray of bright sunshine. Perhaps he was depressed by Gu Tao in the past few days, and he felt particularly refreshed after playing the game.

After three draws, Su Bing smiled and said, "Gu Shuai, we have a tacit understanding."

After finishing speaking, Gu Chaoming changed the way and a stone won Su Bing's scissors.

Su Bing: "???? What about our tacit understanding? If you say no, then there will be no."

Gu Chaoming ignored him and stuffed the ball into his arms: "Hurry up and return the ball, I'll go wash my face."

After the dissolution, Su Bing hugged the ball aggrievedly, and Gu Chaoming and Cen Xili went to the sink near the canteen to wash their faces together.

The two were chatting and laughing on the road, when Cen Xili approached the sink and suddenly called out: "Lin Jianfan."

Hearing the words Lin Jianfan, Gu Chaoming looked towards the sink. Lin Jianfan was standing alone by the sink washing his hands.

Gu Chaoming walked over to greet him: "Hey, wash your hands?"

Cold water flowed out of the opened faucet, Gu Chaoming rushed his hands, and absently turned his head to look at Lin Jianfan, who was also washing his hands beside him, and saw that Lin Jianfan was wiping his sweaty neck with his fingers with water droplets.

Slender fingers caressed the neck, and the water droplets on the fingers transferred to the neck. Gu Chaoming took a second look, retracted his gaze, and poured a handful of water on his cheeks to cool down.

Gu Chaoming blamed himself for having too good eyesight, the sun was too hot, and the air was too hot, allowing him to see clearly the water droplets on Lin Jianfan's neck and the obvious fluff after backlighting.

Gu Chaoming pretended to be calm and wiped the water from his face with his hands and asked Lin Jianfan: "Where did you go just now? I didn't see you on the basketball court, and you looked sweaty too."

"I went to the volleyball hall." Seeing that Fan didn't notice Gu Chaoming's weirdness at all, Lin replied truthfully.

Cen Xili next to Gu Chaoming was stunned when he heard the word volleyball hall, and glanced at Lin Jianfan who had been staying in the volleyball hall during this class. Lin Jianfan didn't know why Cen Xili looked at him after hearing the volleyball hall. Seeing Fan, he smiled at Cen Xili politely and formally.

Cen Xili looked away, Lin saw Fan Song breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can you still play volleyball?" Gu Chaoming asked.

Lin Jianfan shook his head: "I don't know, they took me to play."

There were drops of water on Gu Chaoming's arms that were not wiped off, and the hair on his forehead was wet with water.Transparent drops of water slid across the skin, Lin Jianfan looked at him, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to him.

After taking it, Gu Chaoming said thank you, took out a tissue and turned around to give it to Cen Xili who was behind him first, but found that Cen Xili was in a daze.Gu Chaoming flicked the water droplets on Cen Xili's face: "What are you thinking?"

Cen Xili stopped and looked at him: "It's nothing."

When mentioning the volleyball court, Gu Chaoming knew that Cen Xili must be thinking about You Xin, but he refused to say it.Gu Chaoming rubbed Cen Xili's hair, but Cen Xili avoided it.

Lin Jianfan looked at them, lowered his eyes and said, "Then I'll go first."

Cen Xili avoided Gu Chaoming's hand touching his head and asked Lin Jianfan who was about to leave, "Aren't you going up with us?"

Seeing Fan smiling, Lin shook his head.

Seeing that Fan was about to leave, Lin saw that Gu Chaoming stopped him: "Hey, wait a minute."

Seeing that Fan stopped, Lin thought that Gu Chaoming had something to say to him, but Gu Chaoming left a sentence of "you stand here" and then ran to the canteen not far away, and soon came over with a few bottles of yogurt in his hand .

The figure of the boy running under the hot sun, the sun covered his whole body, and even the shadow showed the youthful vigor.

Lin Jianfan watched Gu Chaoming run towards him, and Gu Chaoming ran to him and handed him a bottle of yogurt he just bought: "I remember you said that you like yogurt."

Lin Jianfan looked at the yogurt handed over by Gu Chaoming and then at Gu Chaoming, but he didn't take it.Gu Chaoming didn't talk to him, and directly stuffed the yogurt into his hand: "Just treat it as an apology from my dad for stopping you yesterday, don't mind."

Lin Jianfan held the cold yogurt that Gu Chaoming bought and said, "I don't have any."

Gu Chaoming smiled: "That's good."

In case Su Bing said he was biased, Gu Chaoming's yogurt was not only given to Lin Jianfan, but also to Cen Xili and Su Bing.When Gu Chaoming returned to the classroom, seeing Lin Jianfan sitting on the seat drinking the yogurt he gave him, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

When the school bell rang, Gu Chaoming stretched in his seat.After a day of exhaustion, Su Bing packed his schoolbag and came home with his companions as usual.

Leaving the classroom, he saw Lin Jianfan sweeping the floor in front of their group with a broom, Gu Chaoming called his name: "Lin Jianfan."

Lin Jianfan, who was sweeping the floor in front of him, turned his head with a broom. Su Bing waved to him enthusiastically. Gu Chaoming walked over with his schoolbag on his back and asked, "Why are you sweeping the floor by yourself? And don't you sweep the floor on Monday? Why are you doing it again today?" Do you sweep the floor? Do you sweep the floor every day?"

Lin Jian Fan replied suddenly: "Oh...he has something to do...let me sweep it for him."

Gu Chaoming picked out a word in Lin Jianfan's words, and asked sharply, "Replace? Or change?"

Lin Jianfan just smiled, trying to put it off: "It's okay, just sweep the floor."

Gu Chaoming wanted to say something, but he only said one sentence: "I'll go first."

Lin Jianfan nodded, Gu Chaoming waved goodbye to him, and Su Bing also waved to him cheerfully.

Leaving the classroom and walking in the corridor, Su Bing turned his head and glanced at Lin Jianfan who was sweeping the floor alone in the classroom. He retracted his eyes and sighed: "Lin Jianfan is at the mercy of others."

Gu Chaoming felt uncomfortable listening to Su Bing's words, and looked at Su Bing with a slight frown: "Can you stop being so ugly? What do you mean by letting others order you around?"

"You are not happy anymore, so what word do you think to use?" Su Bing asked.

"........."

Gu Chaoming didn't think about it. Lin Jianfan did ask him for help, and he would never refuse, no matter whether he was rewarded or not, and sometimes he was a little flattering.

Gu Chaoming didn't speak, Su Bing continued: "You didn't come by my side, you can see what he is like every day by sitting here. He won't reject people, what he says is good is to help, what he says is not good Just letting others order him around, especially his front desk Yu Hangwei, who calls him every day."

Gu Chaoming sighed softly: "I told him about this before, but it didn't seem to be of any use."

As soon as this remark came out, Cen Xili and Su Bing beside him looked at him in surprise, and Gu Chaoming recounted to Su Bing and Cen Xili what he said that morning according to his memory.

After listening, Cen Xili said, "Gu Shuai, why don't you just say it directly? Is this really okay?"

Su Bing also said: "Gu Shuai, you are just... I can't describe you well. From now on, don't speak so bluntly, be more tactful."

Gu Chaoming helplessly spread his hands: "I didn't think so much at the time."

Su Bing said to Gu Chaoming: "Do you know what you mean? It's like pointing at a person who doesn't look very good and calling him ugly. Everyone knows that you still have to say it in front of others."

"Your metaphor... Is it not good for me to say it? I have said it all."

Su Bing shook his head: "It's fine if you think it's good."

Gu Chaoming: "..."

Even if Gu Chaoming told him so bluntly, Lin Jianfan didn't see any change.If someone else was so flattering and flattering, Gu Chaoming would definitely not want to contact him. If the other party wanted to contact him, he would definitely stay away from him, but the other party was Lin Jianfan, so it seemed a little different.

As for why, Gu Chaoming didn't want to understand, just because it was Lin Jianfan, and the three words Lin Jianfan were the reason.

Gu Chaoming, who went downstairs, thought so, and couldn't help but look back upstairs, but saw nothing. Lin Jianfan should still be cleaning in the classroom.

When I took a close look, I accidentally saw the flowerbed downstairs of the teaching building. The yellow flowers on the flowerbed had long since withered, and the green leaves had bloomed layer after layer.Gu Chaoming thought of the strange boy he saw when he was waiting for Su Bing by the flower garden the day before Lin Jianfan came.

I don't know why I think of him, but I think of him suddenly, maybe in a specific place, a yellow flower in my memory.

Gu Chaoming was still thinking about the boy with yellow flowers in his memory. Upstairs, Lin Jianfan suddenly appeared in the corridor of the classroom with a broom. When Gu Chaoming saw him, Lin Jianfan swept the floor seriously.

Inexplicably, there is a little resemblance to the boy with yellow flowers.

Cen Xili looked at Gu Chaoming and kept turning his head to look back: "Gu Shuai, what are you looking at?"

Gu Chaoming raised his hands like when Lin Jianfan cheered him on at the sports meeting, put them on his lips like a trumpet and shouted out Lin Jianfan's name.

"Lin see Fan!"

Gu Chaoming's voice pierced the separated air and jumped into the classroom corridor.Lin Jianfan, who was sweeping the floor upstairs, heard Gu Chaoming calling his name, and leaned on the railing of the corridor with a broom and looked down.

Gu Chaoming downstairs waved goodbye to him backwards.

Lin Jianfan was upstairs, and Gu Chaoming couldn't see his expression clearly, but he knew that Lin Jianfan was smiling and that Lin Jianfan was also waving at him.

Seeing the two of them going upstairs and downstairs waving goodbye, Su Bing and Cen Xili looked at each other and smiled in unison.

Su Bing said with a smile: "Gu Shuai, can you inform us before you call, your voice can scare me to death."

Saying goodbye to Lin Jianfan and walking to the school gate, the three of them couldn't help but become alert.Gu Chaoming quickly glanced around but did not find Gu Tao.

Walking out of the school, looking left and right, except for the students who didn't see Gu Tao, after walking for a while to make sure Gu Tao didn't come, they relaxed.

"Your father didn't come today." Su Bing said.

"Let's go play cards." Gu Chaoming guessed.

Play cards, sleep, anything is possible.It's best not to come, let him live in peace.

When Gu Tao didn't come, Cen Xili got on the bike and said to Gu Chaoming and Su Bing, "Then I'll go first."

When Su Bing and Gu Chaoming parted, he asked Gu Chaoming to be careful, and Gu Chaoming was a little impatient: "Got it, let's go."

After parting with Su Bing, Gu Chaoming took out the earphones from his pocket to listen to music, and opened the chat interface with Lin Jianfan after hesitation.

Gu Chaoming: "Have you finished sweeping?"

Gu Chaoming guessed that Lin Jianfan was either on the way or staying in the classroom, but he didn't expect Lin Jianfan to reply in seconds: "I have to mop the floor after sweeping."

Gu Chaoming: "Oh, it's pretty fast."

Gu Chaoming: "Next time they ask you to help clean, don't agree."

Lin Jianfan: "It's okay, just sweep the floor."

Gu Chaoming: "Every time you help them clean, but you don't get anything in return, just leave after saying a word, why do you help them clean?"

Some are what Gu Chaoming heard from Su Bing, and some are what Gu Chaoming saw by himself.Lin Jianfan is always behind his back, he has all the dirty work, and sometimes some bad things are pushed to him, and Lin Jianfan, an idiot who has little money for organizing activities in the class, pays for himself.

Because Su Bing said that he was too straightforward, Gu Chaoming also thought about his choice of words, instead of flattering them with what they said in private, but: "Can you stop being a nice person all the time."

Gu Chaoming said again: "I don't have the status to talk about you, but these people just see you as a bully, and they only pick soft persimmons."

Seeing that Fan didn't reply for a long time, Gu Chaoming went on to say, "The more you agree to them, the more they will make progress, and the more they will think you are easy to bully."

Lin saw that Fan hadn't answered for a long time, and seeing that he hadn't responded for so long, Gu Chaoming wondered if what he said was too blunt or too serious?

Gu Chaoming: "Are you angry?"

Lin Jianfan: "I'm not angry, I'm not flattering, but I'm not very good at rejecting others."

Gu Chaoming looked at the message: "What's the difficulty in refusing?"

Lin Jianfan: "It's very difficult for me."

Gu Chaoming: "Are you unable to speak out?"

Lin Jianfan: "Yes."

Gu Chaoming: "How about another way to refuse? Say you don't have time, say you have something to do, don't just say no."

Lin Jianfan: "Let me try."

Gu Chaoming: "Yes."

Lin Jianfan: "Let's not talk for now, I'm going to mop the floor."

Gu Chaoming almost forgot that Lin Jianfan had to mop the floor, and then he remembered what the original purpose of chatting with him was.

Gu Chaoming: "My dad is not at the school gate today, don't worry, go home early."

Seeing Fan after a while, Lin said, "Well, then I'll mop the floor."

In the next few days, Gu Chaoming was busy looking for a new house, hoping to find a suitable one, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find a satisfactory one.

On Saturday after get off work, Gu Chaoming sat on the bus home to rest. Although he was exhausted from part-time work and study, Gu Chaoming still felt quite comfortable without the trouble of Gu Tao coming to him.

The bus passed one stop, and the cell phone in his hand suddenly rang. Gu Chaoming squinted his eyes and was startled. He picked up the cell phone and looked - it was Gu Tao.Gu Chaoming ignored it, turned on the mute directly, didn't hang up, and played whatever he wanted.

Gu Tao was very persevering. He made several phone calls, but Gu Chaoming didn't answer a single call.

After returning home and taking a shower, he picked up his mobile phone and checked the caller ID. Gu Tao called him several times, among which there were two missed calls from Qu Yingyi.

Seeing the time, he called while he was on the road. Qu Yingyi didn't call him for a while, why did he suddenly call him?

Gu Chaoming wiped his wet hair with a towel and sat on the sofa in the living room with the lights off to call his mother back.

It took a while to get through the phone, before Gu Chaoming could say "Mom", a young girl's voice came from the opposite side.

"Hello?" The girl's voice was very waxy, Gu Chaoming was taken aback for a moment, why is there a girl on the other side?Still a kid.

Gu Chaoming glanced at his phone number, yes, it was his mother's phone number, he thought he had made a mistake when he heard the little girl's voice.

The immature girl over there asked again: "Hey, who are you?"

Gu Chaoming guessed that she should be the man's daughter, and his mother had mentioned it to him.

Gu Chaoming asked: "Are you Yuanyuan?"

"I'm Yuanyuan, who are you?" the girl asked innocently.

"I find……"

Gu Chaoming paused without making a sound.

He didn't know how to address his mother to the little girl.

"I'm looking for your mother."

After saying these words, Gu Chaoming seemed to be missing something.

His mother was no longer his alone.

"My mother?"

Gu Chaoming heard that the mobile phone was snatched away, the little girl was calling her mother over there, and an old lady's voice came: "Your son is looking for you."

It was the voice of a very strong old man, with a feeling that no one could refute.

Gu Chaoming felt that life on his mother's side was not easy.

The mobile phone was thrown on the bed, and his mother picked it up. Gu Chaoming finally heard his mother's familiar voice.

In the past few minutes, it was like walking around in a strange world.

His mother called him on the other end of the phone: "Chaoming."

"Well, Mom." Gu Chaoming responded.

"The one just now was Yuanyuan, the little girl I told you about." Mom explained.

"I know, I just asked her." Gu Chaoming said.

He cared more about that old man than Yuanyuan and Gu Chaoming.

Gu Chaoming asked: "Is that his mother just now?"

Qu Yingyi gave a soft "hmm".

Gu Chaoming heard that the old lady's tone was not kind, and she snatched the phone from Yuanyuan's hand, and threw the phone on the bed, as if she was afraid that he would say a word to Yuanyuan.

Gu Chaoming remembered what Gu Tao said, "Your mother can't handle it by herself, so she took you there."

He asked his mother, "Mom, how are you doing over there?"

Mom was obviously trying not to worry him, so she paused for a while and replied, "It's pretty good."

Gu Chaoming could hear it as soon as he heard it: "Mom, you don't have to lie to your own son."

Mom sighed: "I didn't lie to you, it's pretty good."

"What about him?" Gu Chaoming asked.

Gu Chaoming didn't know how to address that man in front of his mother.

your husband?that man?

In the end, he just said him, after all, they were mother and son, and Qu Yingyi also understood who he was asking.

"He's at the company today and won't go home."

Gu Chaoming only met that man once, but judging from the man's demeanor and attitude towards his mother, he should be very kind to his mother. Gu Chaoming doesn't believe that his mother would be so blind to someone who treats him badly. But thinking of Gu Tao again, Gu Chaoming couldn't help overturning his previous thoughts.

Gu Chaoming still asked, "Is he treating you well?"

My mother told the truth: "He treats me very well, but his mother has some opinions on me."

Gu Chaoming knew that there was something wrong with the old lady's tone, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that my mother was worried about was still going on.

Mom said again: "Don't worry too much, she has some opinions on me but she is also very good to me."

Gu Chaoming didn't know what to say, so his mother continued: "Don't worry about me, I can handle it myself, but you, is your dad at home recently? Didn't he hit you?"

Qu Yingyi felt ashamed when she said it, she clearly said she would bring him here, but she regretted it temporarily.

Gu Chaoming recalled what had happened recently, touched the half-wet bath towel on his head, didn't tell his mother about his moving out, just smiled: "He hasn't come back for many days."

Gu Chaoming was relieved when he heard the old mother on the other end of the phone, but worried that he was alone at home: "You are alone...how about I go home to see you and give you the money by the way."

Gu Chaoming was startled: "Why are you still coming back? If you happen to run into Gu Tao, he will definitely go crazy, that man has a fucking opinion on you, even if he's divorced, don't get in touch with Gu Tao."

When Gu Chaoming said this, there was some sincerity in it, and some against it, mixed together.

"Mom wants to see you. It's been a long time since I saw you. Last time, it was my mother's fault. I agreed..." Qu Yingyi said ashamed.

Gu Chaoming was most afraid of what she would say, so he smiled and said, "Mom, you have turned over the old score again, so don't talk about the past. If you want to see me, call me. Why don't we come out? Why do we have to stay at home?" ?”

"Alright, but I have something to do tomorrow, so you have to go to school the day after tomorrow?" Qu Yingyi said.

Gu Chaoming said "hmm": "Then next Sunday, is that okay?"

"Okay." Qu Yingyi agreed, and Gu Chaoming heard the old lady on the mother's side shouting: "Yuanyuan stop playing, what time is it, come to sleep."

Gu Chaoming also said: "Mom, it's getting late, I'll hang up first."

Before the mother hung up the phone, she kept telling him: "Take care of yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chaoming sat alone in the spacious living room. The living room where he hung up the phone was extraordinarily quiet, so quiet that Gu Chao was obviously a little lonely.

He heard Yuanyuan's voice for the first time, and heard her calling his mother, mother.Gu Chaoming didn't know how to describe that feeling, as if everything in his past was far away from him, good or bad, Gu Tao, his mother, the only mother who loved him became someone else's mother, and Gu Tao is still entangled.

Gu Chaoming felt that the living room of Su Bing's house was too spacious, so Gu Chaoming took off the bath towel and prepared to go upstairs.The towel was half torn, and the phone in his hand suddenly lit up. Gu Chaoming picked it up and looked - it was Lin Jianfan.

Gu Chaoming couldn't help laughing, Lin Jianfan always picked a good time to call him, and the last time was when he learned that his mother couldn't take him out of that house.

Lin Jianfan is worthy of being a top student, and looking for him is a matter of studying, and they are the only ones who still maintain the study group in the class.

Gu Chaoming tore off the bath towel and went upstairs to the study room, brought homework, spread out the book and replied to Lin Jianfan.

Encountered a math problem that he could not do, Gu Chaoming took a photo and asked him, Lin Jianfan sent a voice answer, one by one, Gu Chaoming listened to his voice.

Lin Jianfan's voice spread in the night that couldn't be quieter, Gu Chaoming recalled that night, in the sweltering heat of the hood, there was a lot of voices, and Lin Jianfan's voice came across the sea of ​​people.

Loneliness and companionship were intertwined. Gu Chaoming lay on the table without the slightest motivation to do his homework. He just wanted to hear Lin Jianfan's voice, and wanted Lin Jianfan to talk with him.

Seeing that Fan was halfway through his thoughts on solving the problem, Gu Chaoming couldn't help picking up his phone and replying to him: "Your voice is really nice, has anyone told you that?"

Lin Jianfan's voice message paused, obviously he had not been praised so suddenly and bluntly.Seeing that Fan was stunned for a while, Lin continued to send messages.

He said, "No, you were the first."

Gu Chaoming who became the number one is very happy, no matter what the meaning of being the number one is, and no matter what benefits this number one can bring him, it is just the purest happiness and pride in his heart.
