I was the first to catch up

After hesitating for a few days, Guan Buyu felt that it was not good to go on like this, and that the progress would be zero, which was really bad.

She decided to fulfill Fang Ranran's third request - to establish more contact opportunities.

This request sounded plausible, but when Fang Ranran explained this, Guan Buyu fell asleep, so she could only vaguely remember what Fang Ranran said about "encounter".

It was not easy to meet by chance, Guan Buyu slapped his forehead, and ran to the gate of No. [-] Middle School on Saturday to wait for the senior high school students to leave school.

Guan Buyu came for a stroll after lunch, and there was still a long time before school was over. What she thought in her mind was to go out as soon as she saw Jiang Lingyu, and then slow down, waiting to have a very good time with Jiang Lingyu. A natural encounter.

The fantasy in Guan Buyu's heart was very beautiful, and she was sitting on the railing of the street opposite the school gate, looking very happy.But after waiting for a long time, she felt a little bored, so she ran to the bookstore next door to read the opened comic books.

Comic books are easy to get addicted to at first glance.When Guan Buyu finished reading this volume, the clock in front of him had already pointed to the end of school time.

Guan Buyu was taken aback, she closed the book and ran out, fortunately she ran very fast, and the students had just finished school when she arrived.

Guan Buyu stood there holding his knees and panting, Jiang Lingyu's figure did not appear for a long time, the more she waited, the more nervous she felt.And there seemed to be more and more sights from the side—as if someone recognized who she was.

In the end, she felt that this was not going to work, and she might explode with nervousness the moment she saw Jiang Lingyu.

So she had to find a way to calm down, and she knew the most effective way.

Guan Buyu took out his mobile phone and dialed a number - when the other side answered, he immediately said, "What stupid thing are you doing again?"

As soon as Fang Ranran said this, Guan Buyu shrank his neck subconsciously.Every time she gets impulsive, she will call Fang Ranran, but this time is different, this time she hasn't started doing it yet.

"I—I'm at the gate of No. [-] Middle School now, I—I'm a little nervous..."

Unable to even say a single sentence, Guan Buyu felt that he must look very cowardly now, his face was still like a ripe tomato, how could he see Jiang Lingyu like this?

Fang Ranran was silent for a while, then she sighed and cursed quietly:

"Guan Buyu, there is something wrong with your brain."

"I asked you to meet by chance, which means to meet by chance on the street Jiang Lingyu often walks. For example, when she came to the breakfast shop, the two of you actually had the same journey for a while. Who told you to meet by chance at the school gate? Quan Guan Buyu is waiting for someone at the gate of No. [-] Middle School, are you making an appointment for a fight?"

Guan Buyu's limbs were cold in an instant, Fang Ranran was still saying something on the other end, "You were really sleepy when I talked about it on the weekend", she had already seen Jiang Lingyu leaving the school gate on this end, and several people were walking beside her, they said Talking and laughing, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Guan Buyu suddenly felt like an out-of-season mosquito, buzzing loudly and annoyingly, no one wanted to see her, let alone Jiang Lingyu who never lacked people by his side.

And why did she show up here, dedicated to embarrassing herself?

Guan Buyu's hands subconsciously clenched into fists.This is her habit, once her emotions are suppressed, Guan Buyu's hand will unconsciously turn into a fist - basically, this means that someone will be unlucky in the next second.Only this time, the person she wanted to beat up was herself.

Why do you mess up everything you do?Is it because if I work hard, nothing will happen, or is it because my luck has always been bad.

Or is it that she is not good enough?So, she doesn't deserve all the good things, all the good feelings, all the good people.

She is only suitable for being stared at by more and more strange eyes, they are talking about how that Guan Buyu appeared here.

Guan Buyu silently hung up the phone, lowered his head and walked away quickly.

She didn't know if Jiang Lingyu saw her, probably not, she was surrounded by many people.

She also didn't want Jiang Lingyu to see her, it was so embarrassing.

Guan Buyu originally thought that he didn't care about other people's eyes long ago, but now he felt very uncomfortable, his cheeks kept burning, telling her that he didn't belong here.

She was about to bury her head and speed up to leave, but she heard a voice not far away:

"Shut up."

It was the voice of a good man, Jiang Lingyu's voice.

What are you doing, don't call me by my name, don't have anything to do with me.

Guan Buyu was about to run, she didn't want others to think that Jiang Lingyu knew her, it would affect them.

Just when she thought she had run out of sight, a panting voice came from behind and said:

"Guan Buyu, I run very slowly, can you slow down?"

When Guan Buyu turned his head, Jiang Lingyu immediately caught up with him. She grabbed Guan Buyu's wrist and panted there for a long time.

Guan Buyu looked at her stupidly, thought of something, and patted her on the back again.

In fact, she didn't run fast, but Jiang Lingyu did become like this because of chasing her, so Guan Buyu felt apologetic and at the same time a little puzzled.

"What's...how—so weird?"

Jiang Lingyu asked her intermittently, her pale cheeks flushed, Guan Buyu knew that she was tired, and felt even more guilty.

But the answer to this question is really not easy to say directly, Jiang Lingyu's breathing has gradually calmed down as Guan Buyu faltered.

She looked at Guan Buyu who couldn't say a word for a long time, and suddenly asked her:

"Guan Buyu, do you hate me?"

Guan Buyu was so startled that he almost jumped up, hate Jiang Lingyu?How can it be!She immediately shook her head like a rattle, but still couldn't say anything, Jiang Lingyu went on to say:

"You hate me, because I like to meddle in my own business, so you don't want to talk to me."

Jiang Lingyu's eyes seemed to be a little red as he spoke, and he didn't know if it was an illusion of being silent.Her scalp was numb and she thought of many things at once. Her indifference seemed to take the development of the matter to another direction. Damn, did she get into trouble?

Jiang Lingyu couldn't—couldn't really cry.

Guan Buyu now felt that she had really committed a serious crime, she scratched her scalp, then gritted her teeth, thinking to get rid of his three demands, Jiang Lingyu was about to cry, who has the time to care about those.

Guan Buyu suddenly took Jiang Lingyu's hand and led her in one direction.When she left, she didn't speak, but just dragged Jiang Lingyu away blindly.

Jiang Lingyu was being pulled by her, she looked a little flustered, she opened and closed her mouth, she didn't say anything, she just let her go without saying a word.

Guan Buyu often fights, and there are rough calluses on the knuckles, but the palm is soft and delicate, and it can be felt that it is a girl's hand.And it was so hot, Guan Buyu's hands were so hot, Jiang Lingyu had never seen a person's hands so hot.

They walked for a while, Guan Buyu pulled her to a small ice shop, which had various desserts and snacks.

After arriving, Guan Buyu went to the store and bought two lemon-flavored soda popsicles, and handed one to Jiang Lingyu.

"This is my favorite place to come in summer. Everything is delicious, and the lemon flavor is the best. Eat it quickly."

Jiang Lingyu was stunned for a moment, she looked at the popsicle but couldn't say anything, subconsciously said: "Mom never let me eat popsicles..."

Guan Buyu asked her why, and Jiang Lingyu was about to say that it was because of poor health, and Yu Xiaomin would be overly worried about her.But it's okay to eat one, and Guan Buyu will definitely not let her eat it. Many people have this reaction when they hear it.So she didn't say anything, just shook her head and smiled and started eating popsicles.

The lemon-flavored popsicles are really delicious. The cool, sweet and sour taste floods the tongue. It is really enjoyable to eat such a popsicle in this summer.

The two of them didn't say a word while eating. The air-conditioning in the store was very strong. The two of them sat on the chairs outside the store, their backs were cool, but they could feel the warm air on their cheeks.

Jiang Lingyu didn't ask why Guan Buyu dragged her here.She thought that Guan Buyu should prove that she didn't hate her. If she hated her, why would she bring her to her favorite store?

Jiang Lingyu ate and laughed secretly, the blush on her face had gradually faded, she seemed to be talking to herself:

"Guan Buyu, you are not as scary as the rumors say."

Guan Buyu's body suddenly trembled, she looked at Jiang Lingyu in surprise, thinking that Jiang Lingyu knew those things, so wouldn't her hard work these days be all in vain, her poor acting skills must have been deducted long ago More points.

Jiang Lingyu looked very happy, she said:

"Fortunately, you are not. People say that you don't like to deal with people, and you always like to be alone, so I wonder if the things I did before are superfluous, making you feel weak and need to be taken care of, so you hate me .”

After finishing speaking, she smiled wryly and said, "After all, I am also familiar with the feeling of being underestimated."

Guan Buyu looked at her, stunned for a long time, Jiang Lingyu's smile was different from the previous one, less gentle and more helpless, but it was so real and so special.

Guan Buyu realized that she turned her head after looking at it for a long time. She pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said in a hurry:

"Me! I think you are amazing. You are in No. [-] Middle School, you are under so much study pressure, and you can still help out at the breakfast shop. If it were me, I would have given up a long time ago, and I might even have run away from home."

She spoke without thinking, and forgot all the things she promised Fang Ranran. Now Guan Buyu has changed back to herself, and Jiang Lingyu said to Guan Buyu: "Because my mother has to work harder than me... so I can't be too willful."

Guan Buyu couldn't say anything, her parents had divorced a long time ago, and her impression of her mother and father was blurred in the endless quarrels, so she couldn't quite understand Jiang Lingyu's words.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have told you this."

Jiang Lingyu realized that she had talked too much, and telling a person of the same age that she was not very familiar with would definitely cause her troubles.She didn't like to trouble people, so she got up to leave.

But Guan Buyu stood up abruptly. Although she didn't understand Jiang Lingyu's feelings for Xiao Min, one of her strengths was that she would speak out her true thoughts boldly.So she said:

"That's right, the proprietress is very good! But such a powerful proprietress is so proud of you, which means that you are doing well. You have to be more confident."

It feels inappropriate to say something without saying a word.Who is she, a little gangster who fights all day long said such things to an excellent student, this is too arrogant!It's over, it seems that points are deducted again.

Guan Buyu's face was so down that he wanted to cry, but he didn't have any tears. If he knew it, he would have listened to Fang Ranran, and it really wasn't good to be himself.

But Jiang Lingyu seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then she laughed softly.Guan Buyu felt that she seemed to be taken for a fool, her shoulders drooped, looking very depressed, while Jiang Lingyu suddenly leaned gently beside her.

There is a wind chime in front of the ice shop, which will sway slightly with the wind and make a crisp sound, just listening to it is very cool.

A few bicycles passed by on the street, Huanjiang City is not considered a big city, so this time in the afternoon is always lazy and leisurely.

Guan Buyu felt that time was stretched at this moment, she seemed to be able to see how the distorted air scorched the asphalt road, how Xia Feng played with the little bell, and Jiang Lingyu's hair seemed to be scratching her ear Beside, it's so itchy, how could her body be so light.

Guan Buyu almost wanted to hold her in his arms, but Jiang Lingyu only held on for a moment, and then she left quickly.She said that she still had a cram school at night and was about to be late, so Guan Buyu nodded foolishly and said that you should go quickly.

Jiang Lingyu walked out a few steps, then turned back, she laughed in the summer wind, and asked if she could bring her to eat ice cream, Guan Buyu nodded like a pounding garlic, making Jiang Lingyu laugh out loud again.

Maybe being yourself is not so bad.

Guan Buyu stood alone at the door of the ice shop, looking at Jiang Lingyu's back and thought so.
