Gu Pei reborn

After finishing writing the Chinese test paper in his hand, Gu Pei raised his head and realized that he was the only one left in the classroom.Looking at the empty seat next to him, Gu Pei was not used to it. Lin Shaojun had been doing homework with him at school for a while.

The migrant workers on the floors below had already returned home, and the sound of the clinking of pots and pans and the sound of TV dramas gradually drifted up along with the smoke. Gu Pei felt as if he was walking in a steamer.He raised his head and let out a breath. When he inadvertently saw the disastrous yellow and gray mountain forest behind the school, he suddenly wanted to go for a walk on a whim.

Climbing to the playground on the top of the building, Gu Pei walked to the wall on the side next to the mountain. It is indeed not high, but there is a gap of about half a meter between the wall and the flat ground on the opposite side, but this is not a big deal to Gu Pei big problem.

Stepping on the irregular ridge that seemed to be collapsing, Gu Pei walked along the mountainside, remembering that there was a way down the mountain a little further ahead, and after a few alleys, he could walk to the street downstairs from his house.

Along the way, I met a few children who came home late. They seemed to have no troubles. Even in the cold and dark season, they could still keep laughing.From the mountainside, on the way to the alley, there is a public toilet, not the regular public toilet in the city, but the toilet that tends to be in the rural huts, for the residents of the one-story shacks not far from here To provide convenience, the two women are arguing by the toilet at this moment, as if it is for hygiene issues.Gu Pei carefully avoided the sewage on the ground. Just as he was about to step into the ground next to him with one foot, he heard a shrill female voice.

"You son of a bitch! Stepping on food! Do you want to die!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Gu Pei watched the woman glaring and angrily glaring at him, and hurriedly retracted her feet to apologize, and ran over quickly regardless of whether it was dirty or not.Until he entered a darker alley, he could still hear the woman's scolding.He stopped and took a breath when he saw a familiar figure coming out from another corner.

Much different from memory.During this period of time, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. The ill-fitting clothes made him look even thinner. His sleeves were rolled up a few times, and a large bag sewn together with different bags was draped over his shoulders. His shoulder blades protruded forward, like a A thin piece of paper that could fly away at any moment.

Gu Pei looked at the little boy who stopped in front of him, and the memory that he deliberately forgot was like the smoke from a violent volcano, quickly filling his mind.He stood still on the spot, forgetting to speak for a moment.

"Step aside!"

The cold and hostile words made Gu Pei's body tremble.He turned sideways subconsciously, and before he could react, Chen Yan passed him by.Gu Pei turned around and looked at the lonely but resolute figure, his brows were slightly frowned.

"You..." Gu Pei cried out involuntarily, but he didn't know what to say after only one word.He and Chen Yan were inexplicably acquainted, and inexplicably separated, and when they met again, he was stunned for a while.

Chen Yan's footsteps paused, and he walked forward in just a few seconds.It's just that the hand holding the bag was tight, and the next moment he felt a lot of warmth on the back of his hand.He turned his head and looked at Gu Pei who was grabbing his shoulder, his eyes sparkled, then he widened his black eyes and glared at Gu Pei: "Let go!"

"Sorry!" Gu Pei looked at Chen Yan and sincerely apologized.Because of the fact that I maliciously speculated on Chen Yan in order to seek peace of mind, and because of the fact that I gave up looking for my friends.

"..." Chen Yan didn't speak, but stared at Gu Pei with those dark eyes, and then his eyes slowly turned red.

Seeing Chen Yan like this, Gu Pei finally heaved a sigh of relief, then stroked Chen Yan's head, annoyed that he was even fussing over a child.After being reborn once again, he actually forgot that for marginalized people like them, being "betrayed" by someone he gave his heart to is worse than death, right?

"You...uh..." The sudden weight in his arms made the clean-loving Gu Pei subconsciously push away, but unexpectedly, Chen Yan held on to his clothes tightly, and then slowly began to sob.Hearing the intermittent crying, Gu Pei sighed, glanced at his dirty clothes, and still stretched out his hand to hug the child.

"Cut, it's so dirty!" The passer-by kicked away Chen Yan's garbage bag in disgust, then gave Gu Pei and the others a strange look, and then walked away cursing.

"Bah!" Obviously hearing the scolding from passers-by, Chen Yan raised his head, turned his head and gave him a hateful look without wiping away his tears.

"You're really..." Gu Pei looked at Chen Yan who was flaring his teeth and claws, annoyed and funny. He kind of missed the kid who pretended to be good in front of him.He took out the toilet paper from his pocket and wiped off Chen Yan's cat face, only to realize that he was quite cute.If Gu Pei hadn't seen the black streaks on this face just now, he would have leaned up to kiss her.

Feeling Gu Pei's hand moving over his face, Chen Yan's face suddenly burned up, but others couldn't see it because his skin was too dark.

"Didn't you see that you are cute? Why don't you wash your face?" Gu Pei remembered that Chen Yan seemed to be angry after he asked him to wash his hands and face.

"..." Hearing Gu Pei's words, Chen Yan's body shook, his face became ugly, and his lips were clenched tightly.

"Uh... Forget it, if you don't wash it, then..."

"I don't want those guys who look at people with their nostrils to see the face of a trash picker." Chen Yan's low voice shocked Gu Pei, and then he felt panicked.

"I'm sorry." Gu Pei looked at Chen Yan with his head down, and apologized after a long time.This kind of child who has lived outside since childhood is the most sensitive and inferior.In his opinion, his behavior at that time was hurting his self-esteem, right?

Chen Yan shook his head, and when Gu Pei didn't pay attention, his eyes quickly flashed with resentment and unwillingness.

Seeing Chen Yan shaking his head, Gu Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the big bag on the ground, and said, "Will you wait for me there tomorrow?"

"There are already people there." Chen Yan lowered his head and said sullenly.In fact, within a few days after the quarrel with Gu Pei, he couldn't help but want to see this person again, but when he went to the garbage dump, he found that there was already an old man, so after being disappointed, he gave himself an excuse to stay away from Gu Pei.

"Pick up trash and divide the 'territory'?" Gu Pei frowned and looked at Chen Yan.

"Yeah." Chen Yan nodded, and then said, "But few people only pick it up in one place. It's just that the garbage dump is close to your school, and there are many things to pick up in it. Even if you don't run around, you can pick up enough. Scrap."

"That's it..." Gu Pei frowned, thinking of Chen Yan who was so small and carrying a big bag of food and garbage around every day, and remembering how he was beaten when he first saw him, he felt that he had let him The plan to sell newspapers still has to be implemented.

"Then you wait for me at the alley tomorrow, okay? Go early." Gu Pei didn't want her classmates to talk about Chen Yan again.

"...Okay." After hesitating for a while, Chen Yan still nodded. Although it would be a waste of time to meet Gu Pei, he really wanted to see Gu Pei, and...his breakfast.
