self-deprecating

The night before, Gu Ze and Han Zizhou walked to the intersection together before saying goodbye and going home. The next day, by coincidence, they met again at the school gate.

Gu Ze glanced at the hands that were holding the front of the car, they were rosy white, they looked a hundred times better than wearing gloves.

Han Zizhou went to park the car after saying hello, while Gu Ze stood in a daze at the door of the carport and yawned, as if he hadn't woken up.

"Let's go, what are you waiting for here?" As soon as Han Zizhou came out, he saw the tall boy standing at the door of the carport.

"It's nothing, I'll wait for you." Gu Ze said indifferently.

"It's so cold outside, you don't have to wait for me."

"You also know that the weather is so cold today. You don't know how to wear gloves. After your hands are frozen into pig's trotters, you can cook them and eat them." Gu Ze glanced at him angrily.

Han Zizhou put his hand in his coat pocket and rubbed it unconsciously twice.The cold wind in the morning is really cold, and I can't feel the blowing hands, otherwise I won't ride a bicycle?

Han Zizhou thought about how to solve this unavoidable problem.

The two went upstairs side by side, and there happened to be a girl waiting at the door of the classroom.

"Han Zizhou!" Gu Yue waved in the direction of the two of them.

Gu Ze looked at Han Zizhou curiously, where did the little girl get confused by Han Zizhou?It's kind and warm.

Han Zizhou nodded, "Morning."

"This is your paper, thank you." Gu Yue handed over Han Zizhou's paper.

Gu Ze happened to pass by the two of them and saw Han Zizhou's paper. According to his judgment, it should be a physics paper, so these two people participated in the physics competition together.

Gu Ze felt that there was nothing wrong with his reasoning, so he went into the classroom silently to pack his things.

Han Zizhou took the paper, "It's nothing, don't be too polite."

"Thank you, I think your ideas for the last two questions are correct, you are very good." Gu Yue looked at him with a slightly envious and excited expression.

"Actually, there are still some things that are not clear. Let's wait for the teacher to explain tomorrow."

Gu Yue nodded, "I won't bother you, I'll go to study early." After speaking, Gu Yue went downstairs and returned to the classroom.

When Han Zizhou entered the classroom, Gu Ze blinked at him.

"This is that girl who secretly promised her again?"

Han Zizhou glanced at him speechlessly, "Don't talk nonsense, we are classmates, she borrowed my physics test paper yesterday, and returned it this morning."

"I know. But don't you like her? She's pretty cute, she's good at studying, and she can discuss physics issues with you." Gu Ze continued.

Han Zizhou opened the English book stand in front of Gu Ze, "Do you still have time to gossip? Have you memorized the words?"

Gu Ze shut his mouth, and continued to recite English words angrily.

After Han Zizhou dismissed Gu Ze, another question popped up in his mind: Is it cute?Does Gu Ze think such a girl is cute?

Should be pretty good, right?In fact, he has no idea.

Two days later, after class on Wednesday night, Han Zizhou ran into Gu Ze again.

Less than 100 meters away from the school gate, Gu Ze put his hands in his coat pockets, walking slowly as if taking a walk.

"Gu Ze." Han Zizhou's bicycle parked steadily beside him.

"Yeah." Gu Ze glanced at his hands, still without gloves.

"Did you come around from the Internet cafe? Waiting for me at the door?"

"Well... here are you." Gu Ze took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and handed them to Han Zizhou.

Han Zizhou took the gloves, black leather gloves, the most common and simple style.

"Don't really freeze into a pig's trotter." Gu Ze handed him the gloves and walked forward on his own.

Han Zizhou glanced at the gloves in his hand, put them on obediently, and then rode behind Gu Ze with a smile on his lips.

"Thank you, the gloves are very warm." Han Zizhou smiled at Gu Ze.

"I just don't want to eat pig's trotters for the time being." Gu Ze put it in his pocket, with a bit of disgust and indifference in his tone.

Han Zizhou was so teased that he laughed out loud, "I'll treat you to supper today, Brother Ze, how about some face?"

Gu Ze turned to look at him.

Han Zizhou got off the bicycle, patted the seat, "Sit here, just holding the car."

Gu Ze stepped forward with long legs and straddled the car seat, but his legs were propped on the ground, and his hands still did not leave his warm pockets.

It was still the same stationery store, Gu Ze watched Han Zizhou standing in front of the big pot, cooking Oden in the dense mist.

"Here." Han Zizhou handed Gu Ze a copy, and stood beside him.

The two of them ate while talking about what they had.

"How much did you score on the last physics test?"

"88 points."

"It's quite auspicious."

"Don't worry about this monthly exam, you can take as much as you can."

"At least let's make some progress, or I'll be sorry for Teacher Han's passionate guidance."

"Are you still in the Internet cafe tomorrow night?"

"always there."

"Let's go together that Friday night."

……

The days passed day by day, and the monthly exam was approaching day by day.The time spans from November to December, waiting for the students of No. [-] Middle School is a battlefield, ah no!It is the examination room.

Gu Ze continued to recite vocabulary with his mobile phone in his arms, but suddenly received two messages.

Han Zizhou: Are you in the store?

Outstanding talent: Brother Zege, do you still remember Yao Jie by the Daming Lake?

Gu Ze answered two "um" neatly, and continued to recite words.

Han Zizhou didn't reply, but Yao Jie's news kept ringing.

Outstanding talent: Brother Ze, we haven't played together for a long time.

Outstanding Talent: Do you have a new love?

Outstanding talent: Which goblin is it?

Gu Ze: ...Yes.

Outstanding Talent: Who? !

Gu Ze: Study.The monthly exam is coming soon, and I have to prepare well for the exam.

Outstanding Talent: Learning? !Brother Ze, are you here for real this month? !

Gu Ze: Otherwise?I have nothing to do and I will continue to recite words.

Outstanding Talent: Brother Ze, don’t you miss me?You abandon me to recite words?

Gu Ze: We had dinner together at noon on Friday, and you robbed me of my fried pork.If you want to join me, let's recite words together.

Outstanding talent: ...you memorize it, I won't bother you anymore.

Gu Ze quit WeChat and continued to open the software for reciting words.

I saw a pair of big black hands dangling in front of my eyes.

Gu Ze raised his head from the screen, "Han Zizhou? Why are you here?"

"Well... I have something to do with you." Han Zizhou took off his gloves and held them in his hands.

"what's up?"

"Didn't you ask you to remove the seat on the back of the bicycle for me before? Can you put it back for me?" Han Zizhou tilted his head and calmly finished his request.A pair of smiling and charming eyes somehow made Gu Ze feel a little uncomfortable.

"Say it again? I didn't hear you clearly." Gu Ze also tilted his head to look at him.

"I'll ask you to put the back seat of the bicycle back on for me." Han Zizhou calmly finished his narration again.

"Are you sure?" Gu Ze asked him, "The one that was dismantled last time was sold directly, and there is no shelf in the back of the car."

"It's really gone?" Han Zizhou asked, "I really want to put it back."

"Are you kidding me? I disassemble and reinstall it for you every day, reassemble and dismantle it again. Don't care!" Gu Ze directly refused.

"Take it as my thank you gift for making up your lessons." As expected, Han Zizhou was the first in the grade, and Gu Ze couldn't refuse a single sentence.

Gu Ze looked at him, "Last time." Then he turned and went into the store, and came out from the warehouse behind with an iron shelf after a while.

"Isn't it sold to the uncle who collects waste?" Han Zizhou asked.

"The uncle who collects the scraps doesn't like it, so he can't sell it." Gu Ze looked for a wrench from the toolbox and was about to twist the screws.

"Thank you for your hard work." Han Zizhou answered cheekily.

"Don't look, come and help." Gu Ze handed the iron frame to Han Zizhou, motioning for him to support it.

The two were quickly assembled.

Han Zizhou looked at the shelf at the back, stepped on the car with satisfaction, "I'll go first, you remember to come to my house at night for surprise training before the monthly exam."

"Well, I see, let's go quickly." Gu Ze waved at him.

Han Zizhou suddenly remembered the wave in the taxi, raised his gloved hand, and waved at him twice.

Han Zizhou left, and Gu Ze was going to continue reciting words.Turn on the phone, and the date clearly shows "December 12st".Today is Saturday, December 1st, exams on the [-]rd and [-]th, and next Saturday is December [-]th.

December [-]th...December [-]th...it was Han Zizhou's birthday! ! !

Gu Ze thought about it in his mind, Han Zizhou transferred here this semester, that is to say, he didn't make any new friends except the classmates in the class, the key is that he also helped him make up a month of lessons.

After thinking about it, Gu Ze felt that he must give Han Zizhou an unforgettable birthday.

Monthly exams and birthdays are the two most important things.

Gu Ze knocked on the door of Han Zizhou's house on time at night.Aunt Wu opened the door for him, Gu Ze greeted him, and found slippers to put on as usual, and as soon as he entered the living room, he ran into a woman wearing a mask.

Gu Ze was taken aback, and stood there in a daze.

Riemann saw a little boy standing at the door with a schoolbag on his back, and suddenly realized that it was the classmate his son mentioned, or the classmate who brought him home to make up lessons.

"Here we come." Han Zizhou's voice came from the stairs.

Gu Ze nodded.

"This is my mother," Han Zizhou stood between the two, "This is Gu Ze, my classmate."

Gu Ze hurriedly greeted, "Hello, Auntie."

Riemann was wearing a mask, and it was inconvenient to open his mouth, so he just nodded.

"Let's go up to study first." Han Zizhou grabbed Gu Ze's arm and walked up.

Gu Ze followed behind with a smile, "Auntie, I'm sorry."

Gu Ze has been here many times, but this is the first time he has met Han Zizhou's family, so he became a little restrained for a while.

"Sit down, why are you standing there?" Han Zizhou looked at him.

Gu Ze sat on the chair without saying a word.

At this time, there were two knocks on the door. "Dongdong, son, can I come in?"

"Enter."

Riemann pushed open the door and came in. The mask on his face had been removed, revealing a gentle face.

Gu Ze stood up quickly, "Hello, Auntie."

"Hello, I didn't have time to say hello when I was downstairs just now, I came here to see you, if you need help, just say."

Gu Ze waved his hand, "No, thank you, Auntie."

"What's your name?"

"Gu Ze."

The smile on Riemann's face increased a bit, "You are Ozawa, I heard Han Zizhou mention you, you have a very good relationship."

"We are at the same table, and he helped me a lot." Gu Ze said embarrassedly.

Riemann smiled, "I won't disturb your study, I'll go out first." Riemann closed the door gently while speaking.

Gu Ze looked at the closed door and exhaled lightly.

"What's wrong? Nervous?" Han Zizhou looked at him amusedly, "Ms. Li is not a scourge."

"No... the first time I met your parents, I was a little nervous." Gu Ze touched the tip of his nose, "I'm just a poor student, and I asked you to help me with my lessons. Many parents don't like students like me."

"I think too much, my mother likes you very much." Han Zizhou touched Gu Ze's head and comforted him, "Study, try to get 400 points in the monthly exam."

400 points... you're kidding me.

Gu Ze silently lit a candle for himself in his heart.

The author has something to say: Thank you everyone.
