I am very poor

Chapter 9 One more sugar

Gu Cheng said, "I agree."

For others, the sentence I agree can be a solemn promise, or it can be a casual perfunctory, but no matter what, the shelf life of this sentence will not be too long.

For Gu Cheng, it was different.

Because he has too little and wants too little.

As long as there is something that can be held in the hand, it is especially cherished.

It's like being in an orphanage when I was a child. Resources were scarce, and everything must be distributed equally to everyone.

Once, a volunteer who came to help, whether on purpose or not, gave him an extra hard candy, and he immediately hid it carefully so that no one would find out, and held it in the palm of his hand even when he was sleeping.The summer came quickly that year, and the sugar melted into a sticky ball, sticking to the palm.It wasn't until they received an inspection that the courtyard organized them to take a bath in a public bath, and the things sticking to their palms were not discovered.

The life teacher who helped him take a bath broke away his hands, took down the half-melted sugar and threw it into the floor drain with an ugly face, and repeatedly scrubbed his palms with a bath towel in disgust, while comforting him "don't cry!" Don't cry, the teacher gave you a lot of sweets after taking a bath, so much, so much, don't cry..."

He sobbed suspiciously.

Of course, these are all casual words to coax children. An adult will not regard a piece of candy, or even a handful of candy, as precious, let alone feel that such a frivolous and cheap promise of his own has any need to be fulfilled.

So he hates, or resists being promised by others, and rarely makes promises.

Not because I don't like it, but because I cherish it too much.

For Gu Cheng, who was still young, not only lost half of the melted candy, but also lost more other things.

It's not because of how precious a candy is, or how much he likes to eat it.

It's the candy that is more than others, so that he can feel that he is favored and is different.

But he quickly realized that wasn't the case—

he's not worth it

He has nothing.

For example—this so-called "friend" is something he feels he doesn't deserve.

He studied desperately just to escape from that place.

He tried his best to pretend to be a child of a normal family, but he never dared to respond to the kindness given by the people around him.

Because every time, when he feels that he has been able to let go of his origin and integrate into the normal life of the people around him, he will dream over and over again, dreaming of the noisy Datong shop in the orphanage, dreaming of knocking off the edges in the cafeteria, and forever pretending to be Dissatisfied with the enamel bowl, the dream—the rising heat of the public bathhouse, blurring the face of the life teacher.

He couldn't remember who it was.

But I clearly remember the tearing feeling that half of the melted sugar was peeled from the palm of the hand, and the hard-bristled brush repeatedly rubbed and scraped the palm until the red palm was washed clean by hot water.

until--

Nothing.

Gu Cheng is trying his best to hide the little inferiority complex in his heart and hide it in a deeper place.

A shrimp was suddenly stuffed into his mouth.

Huo Yufei wiped his fingertips with a napkin in a graceful manner, and then stretched out his hand to flick Gu Cheng's forehead.

"When you say a few words, you lose your mind. What are you thinking about?"

His movements are very natural and stretched, even if he is wearing the cheapest clothes, he looks like he is in a suit and leather shoes, sitting between the cups and cups.

Is it true that some people are born with such a bearing?Even if you are stuck in the mud, you can still bloom a flower under the starlight.

Huo Yufei raised his hand to check the time, only to realize that he was not wearing a watch: "I'm full, how about you?"

Gu Cheng nodded: "Me too."

Huo Yufei said: "Okay, can you sit and wait for me?"

After speaking, he stood up and went to check out.

It's impossible for him to really get Gu Cheng married. Huo Yufei wouldn't know what kind of economic situation Gu Cheng is in?

Seeing Huo Yufei walking towards the cashier, Gu Cheng understood what he was going to do, grabbed his coat and quickly chased after him.

When Huo Yufei took out his wallet, he pressed his hand firmly, pulled the wallet out of his hand without a doubt, and took out the money from his own wallet to settle the payment, the drooping eyelashes were on the cheeks because of the warm light Cast a circle of shadows.

Huo Yufei couldn't grab him, so he tilted his head helplessly: "Don't be like this, and give me some face, at least one person and half?"

"How can I do that?" Gu Cheng didn't argue with him at all, put the wallet back in Huo Yufei's pocket, and led him outside, "Didn't you say I'll invite you?"

At this moment, a girl's voice came from behind——

"Gu Cheng!"

Huo Yufei wanted to look back, but his wrist tightened, and Gu Cheng pulled him so hard that he had no time to look back.

When he hurried to the stop sign and waited for the bus, Huo Yufei looked at him: "Someone called you just now."

Gu Cheng said "En", frankly: "I heard it."

Huo Yufei scratched his face, he had nothing to say, but kept turning his head to see if anyone was chasing him.

He was really curious about how Gu Chengyue became Gu Cheng.

And also curious about everything about Gu Cheng.

But it's not particularly anxious, after all, he has already caught him, isn't he?

The corner of his mouth curved into a smile.

Just then the bus stopped in front of them, and the two were about to get on the bus.

He heard hurried footsteps behind him: "Gu Cheng!"

Huo Yufei immediately turned his head this time, and saw Gu Cheng being grabbed by a girl.

Gu Cheng couldn't do anything with the girl, so he stood firmly on the spot, his face extremely cold: "Let go."

Huo Yufei saw that the cuffs of his sweater were twisted and deformed, so he couldn't help smiling: "If you have anything to say, let's find a place to discuss it, shall we?"

The other party turned a blind eye to him, and fixed his eyes on Gu Cheng: "I won't let go, what do you mean by avoiding me on purpose? I have already apologized to you about Zhao Yang."

Gu Cheng's eyebrows became sharper: "Yan Qing, we have already broken up, please don't come to me again."

As he said that, he pulled his arm back severely, turned around and left.

The girl named Yan Qing came to hold his hand, Gu Cheng dodged away, but Huo Yufei saw a long red mark on the back of his hand, and couldn't help frowning.

Gu Cheng tugged at him, his voice was cold: "What are you looking at? Come back with me."

Gu Cheng's attitude of not paying attention to people at all immediately forced Yan Qing to cry, grabbed his sweater cuff with one hand desperately, and squatted on the ground wiping his eyes.

Sobbing: "What did I do wrong, can I apologize to you? I didn't ask Zhao Yang to find you."

Huo Yufei was held by him with one hand, and the other hand was still in his pocket, feeling that the scene was really embarrassing.He wanted to quietly pull out his wrist, but it was held even tighter instead.

Gu Cheng pursed his lips tightly, took two deep breaths, and said in a deep voice, "You did nothing wrong, but I also have the freedom to choose how to get along with others, right?"

Yan Qing cried even harder: "Let's not break up, okay? I don't want to break up with you. I really, really like you!"

It's still early, so it's really eye-catching on the street, especially not long after, several of Yan Qing's female classmates rushed out from the place where they had just eaten, surrounded her to comfort her, saying that she was not wrong, and told her not to After crying, he told Gu Cheng not to be so heartless.

"Where is Qingqing sorry for you? Gu Cheng."

"Qingqing likes you, don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

"Aren't you guys nice before? Don't be angry with each other!"

Gu Cheng's expression was already shockingly cold, and someone even joked to smooth things over: "It's time for Gu Cheng to show your gentlemanly demeanor, please comfort her quickly, we won't let her cry, let her forgive you."

Huo Yufei had a natural smile on his lips, so he just stood aside and watched quietly.

It wasn't until Yan Qing let go of his hand a little bit and pulled it up again, leaving a second scratch on the back of Gu Cheng's hand.

Huo Yufei directly held her thin white wrist, opened her fingers together, and threw them aside.

Girls are not as strong as boys, not to mention that Huo Yufei didn't have the slightest intention of sympathizing with her, so she exerted so much force that Yan Qing cried out in surprise, holding her hands together and crying, but it was a little more serious than just now.

Yan Qing's classmates immediately became filled with righteous indignation and accused him one after another.

Huo Yufei still had a smile on his lips, and suddenly kicked a soda can next to the trash can into the air.

Metal scratched the asphalt road for a long period of piercing sound before bouncing and flying.

Suddenly there was silence.

Only the horns of passing cars.

The street lights suddenly turned on, and several deep and shallow shadows appeared on the ground.

When Huo Yufei moved, the shadows all over the ground also moved.

He lifted up his trousers lightly, squatted down on one knee, looked carefully at Yan Qing's hand, and said with a curved mouth, "Let me see, it doesn't seem to be injured, right? I was wrong just now, right Beauty shouldn't be so rude, I apologize to you."

His mixed-race facial features are profound and handsome, Yan Qing, who just ignored him, was suddenly forced to face this face at close range, and suddenly felt that he was wrong just now.

Huo Yufei smiled at her: "But beautiful lady, you can bully anyone, but don't bully Gu Cheng, otherwise, I will make things difficult for you."

The sky was dim, and the stars re-illuminated the sky layer by layer.

None of Yan Qing and those girls caught up.

Huo Yufei didn't speak all the way, but the corners of his mouth were naturally upturned, making it impossible to detect his mood.

Gu Cheng walked with him for a while, and simply took a taxi.

After getting into the car, Huo Yufei still didn't speak, and Gu Cheng suddenly realized that the other party was unhappy.

But he thought about it seriously for a long time, until the taxi took them back to school, he didn't understand what Huo Yufei was upset about.

Meeting Yan Qing by chance today also made him feel a little irritable.

But he still deliberately sent Huo Yufei to the door of the dormitory, and pondered for a while.

"I'm sorry today, my business has affected your mood."

The corners of Huo Yufei's mouth loosened, but he still smiled: "It's nothing, this girl is your ex-girlfriend today?"

Gu Cheng nodded briefly, didn't say anything else, let him have a good rest, then turned and left.

Yan Qing was a thorn in his heart.

The author has something to say: The ending of the previous chapter has been changed to connect with the plot of this chapter. Does the last sentence "Okay, I agree" sound like a marriage proposal? 233333~~~

It is said that I have the opportunity to write a perspective of Gu Cheng, this chapter is full of fog~ especially Yufei is angry because of his upset at the end, does he seem to be jealous?

Baby Gu Cheng thinks that the other party likes him step by step, hehehe~~
