Xu Zhiwei held Gu Xin's hand cordially: "You and I have a good talk about the matter between Shen Lian and your brother, the more detailed the better."

Gu Xin only felt that those hands were slender and soft, and under the lights of the hotel, they looked even more moist and delicate, like white jade works of art in a museum.He never hesitated to sell Big Brother's privacy!What's more, being held by Xu Zhiwei like this.

He and Xu Zhiwei found a quiet corner in the room, and started talking.

"Shen Lian, I can't remember exactly when I met him, it seems that I met him when I was very young.

"His mother and my mother are best friends, but the family conditions are not good, so my mother took care of his family and helped him a lot. He couldn't afford our school. But with my mother's help, he got The interview opportunity, plus good grades, is enough to get a scholarship from our school, and a part of it can be reduced before you can go to our school.

"He is in the same class as my brother in junior high school. We know each other from the beginning, so we have a good relationship. I think he is quite nice, and the school teacher also likes him... Later, I don’t know why some people dislike him, as if they often look for him Trouble. He can't solve it by himself. His mother went to the school to mediate, but it didn't work. My brother is impulsive, and finally broke out one day and beat all those people. Then those people stopped. But my brother I don’t want to go to our high school again.”

Xu Zhiwei had heard about beating people before, but he never expected that Shen Lian was the protagonist of this incident.

It was only after Gu Xin said this that she came to her senses and asked, "Do you know Shen Lian too?"

Xu Zhiwei nodded: "Yes. He is in the same class as me, and he is the monitor of our class."

Gu Xin didn't think too much, he was quite happy: "I heard my mother said that Shen Lian's grades are very good. It turns out that he and you are in the same class. We all know each other. We can play together in the future."

Xu Zhiwei didn't say anything, he looked in Gu Heng's direction.

Gu Heng was talking to Shen Lian, both of them were smiling, looking very happy.

Gu Heng also personally cut a piece of cake and handed it to Shen Lian.When handing the cake, the hands of the two seemed to touch each other.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhiwei felt like someone was pressing a pillow on his chest.

He stared at Gu Heng.

If eyes can transform energy, his gaze should burn a hole in Gu Heng's body.

Finally, Gu Heng seemed to feel his gaze, and looked back at him.

Shen Lian also took a look, and asked, "How did you and Xu Zhiwei get together?"

Gu Heng turned his head and smiled at Shen Lian: "It's nothing. It's not strange for me to be friends with anyone, is it?"

Shen Lian quickly explained: "I didn't mean that. It was Xu Zhiwei..."

Gu Heng asked seriously: "What happened to him?"

Shen Lian smiled and said: "I have been a classmate with him for so long, and I always feel that he is indifferent to everything. Although his grades are very good, he always rejects his classmates."

Gu Heng said softly: "I know, he is an iceberg in your class."

Shen Lian nodded: "So I didn't expect him to be willing to be your friend

, I really envy you. "

Gu Heng smiled, and glanced at Xu Zhiwei again.

Shen Lian smiled and waved at Xu Zhiwei, walking towards him and Gu Xin.

Xu Zhiwei didn't know what they were talking about, but when he saw Shen Lian coming, Gu Heng only casually glanced at him once or twice, without any intention of letting go of Shen Lian.It wasn't until Shen Lian came over that Gu Heng followed.

He felt very uncomfortable - why did these seemingly ordinary things make him so uncomfortable?Is this how it feels to like someone?Care to pay attention to his every move?I don't know if I'm overthinking it or if it's true.

He just stared blankly at Shen Lian coming over.

"Zhiwei, I really didn't expect to meet him!" Shen Lian said.

Xu Zhiwei opened his mouth and said, "Gu Heng called me here."

He seemed to be swearing something.

Shen Lian laughed: "You two have such a good relationship? I'm here with my mother."

He may have just mentioned it casually, but at this time Xu Zhiwei heard that the words sounded like "Although you have a good relationship now, I have known Gu Heng much earlier and have a closer relationship".

Gu Heng said from the side: "Zhiwei, go eat cake."

He asked Xu Zhiwei to fetch the cake by himself.

Xu Zhiwei stood up: "I want to go."

Both Gu Xin and Shen Lian looked at him in surprise, a little at a loss.Especially Shen Lian, just after he said a few words to Xu Zhiwei, Xu Zhiwei said he wanted to leave, as if he had returned to that cool brother who was very cold to everyone.

Gu Heng looked at him and asked, "Are you really going?"

Xu Zhiwei nodded.He really feels that the room is stuffy now, and he wants to leave, but he also has a tight pain in his chest, staring in a daze, without energy.

Gu Heng did not insist on him staying, but only said: "Then I will send you out."

He said to Shen Lian again: "I'll be back in a while."

Xu Zhiwei walked through the garden with him, and walked out of the hotel silently.

After a while, he heard Gu Heng ask: "Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

It turned out that Gu Heng noticed his sudden change of mood, Xu Zhiwei stood still, and now he had a lot of things to say.

Why was the matter of Shen Lian never mentioned?Is it just a coincidence that Shen Lian got into No. [-] Middle School like Shen Lian?You inquired about Shen Lian and Miao Shanshan before, but it was not about Miao Shanshan. Was it for Shen Lian?What do you think of Shen Lian?

do you like me?

But so many words were choked up in his mouth, his voice seemed hoarse, and finally he just said: "It's nothing, there are too many people, it's a bit boring."

Because he didn't dare to ask, for fear of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear.

Gu Heng didn't want to keep him anymore, and said: "Then you go home and have a good rest. See you tomorrow?"

Xu Zhiwei asked, "Why?"

Gu Heng smiled: "Isn't tomorrow your birthday?"

Xu Zhiwei's heart warmed up again.He thought maybe he was thinking too much, maybe Gu Heng and Shen Lian were just pure friendship.

At noon the next day, Xu Zhiwei was leaning against the balcony window, and saw Gu Heng riding his little electric donkey, stopping downstairs at his house.

He ran downstairs, Gu Heng took off his helmet, and took out a small cake from the car basket.

"Yesterday you didn't eat my birthday cake, and today I brought one to eat with you."

Xu Zhiwei was pleasantly surprised.

In the past few years, he celebrated his birthday with his grandfather, cooking a few dishes and eating birthday noodles to celebrate.Birthday cakes are all bells and whistles to grandpa.

He held the cake that Gu Heng brought, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Grandpa Xu Zhiwei had a good impression of Gu Heng—mainly because Xu Zhiwei had said a lot of good things about him before, and Gu Heng came to visit and brought a cake as a gift, which won his grandfather's favor.

After eating chicken noodle soup and cake at noon, grandpa went back to his room to rest.

Gu Heng took out a diary from his bag and handed it to Xu Zhiwei: "Here, birthday present."

Xu Zhiwei took it, he didn't expect Gu Heng to prepare a small gift.Although it is just an ordinary diary, it is also a heart.

He had asked Gu Heng before what birthday present he wanted.Gu Heng just said: "No need. Just copy your homework for me."

Now Gu Heng has prepared a gift...

He stroked the cover of the diary and said softly, "Thank you."

Gu Heng signaled him to open the diary.

Xu Zhiwei opened the cover, only to see a sketched portrait on the blank page inside the cover.Although it was just a simple outline, he recognized his profile at a glance.

"I drew it according to your photo," Gu Heng said, "although the painting in the studio cannot be given to you..."

Xu Zhiwei raised his eyes and looked at Gu Heng. He decided not to ask anything today, because today is enough.He just wants to feel this moment well, and he can take it as Gu Heng who likes him.

If this is not liking, what else can be used to explain it?

He said again: "Gu Heng, thank you."

Early on Monday morning, when Xu Zhiwei arrived in the classroom, he first looked at Shen Lian.Shen Lian always came early, and he was a typical "good spirited" student in the teacher's mouth.

But Shen Lian looked a little listless today, not very energetic.It's a completely different look from Saturday night.

Xu Zhiwei just observed silently.

At this time, the tablemate came, and as soon as he put down his schoolbag, he broke out a big gossip to Xu Zhiwei: "Did you know? Miao Shanshan has a boyfriend! This time it's true! News from the girl group last night."

Xu Zhiwei: "Oh."

He asked casually, "Who is it?"

The deskmate was very happy to get the response of these words: "It's not a boy from our school, it's a grassroots from No. [-] Middle School. If you say you're not angry, you can catch up across the school. What's wrong with our monitor!"

Xu Zhiwei looked at Shen Lian again, as if he understood something.

"Shen Lian really likes Miao Shanshan?" He asked.

The deskmate said affirmatively: "Of course! He was very nice to Miao Shanshan during the summer vacation. He brought her a bottle of iced black tea every day. We all saw it."

Xu Zhiwei thought, then Gu Heng treated him much better than this.

At this time, other people joined the discussion at the same table, and the boys were filled with righteous indignation and criticized

Sentence the No. [-] senior high school grassroots.

Their voices were a bit loud, which caught Shen Lian's attention.

"Don't talk about it, this is Miao Shanshan's private matter, and if Lao Chen heard about it, it would cause trouble for her," Shen Lian walked over and said, "Besides, I was just surprised. Others are fine."

Several boys immediately developed a feeling of sympathy with Shen Lian, as if they had also participated in the process of Shen Lian's pursuit of Miao Shanshan, and they were very moved.

"Stop it, brother, we understand."

"be strong."

Xu Zhiwei didn't speak, he didn't understand this resonance.

Shen Lian and Xu Zhiwei looked at each other, he smiled at Xu Zhi, but he didn't mention going to Gu Heng's birthday party on Saturday.

Xu Zhiwei didn't understand.Gu Heng never mentioned Shen Lian, and Shen Lian never mentioned Gu Heng.what is this?

It wasn't until noon when Shen Lian went to the cafeteria to eat, that Shen Lian found a chance to talk to Xu Zhiwei alone.

"On Saturday, why did you leave so early? Did you go back to read a book?" Shen Lian joked.

Xu Zhiwei was a little inexplicably wary: "No. I probably ate too much that day, and my stomach felt uncomfortable."

Shen Lian nodded: "I didn't expect Gu Heng to call you, he's quite out of the way. Haha."

Xu Zhiwei suddenly asked a vague question: "Why do you never mention Gu Heng in front of others? I didn't even know you knew Gu Heng."

Shen Lian looked at Xu Zhiwei in surprise: "Don't you never mention it to others? I only found out that you and Gu Heng are friends the day before yesterday."

He probably felt that his tone was not very good, and added: "You know... Gu Heng's situation is different from ordinary people. If other people in our class know about my relationship with him and ask too much about him, I will It's hard to answer, I don't want to say so much. I think you are the same."

Xu Zhiwei was silent.

What Shen Lian said was that making friends with Gu Heng is a troublesome matter, and it will affect his communication with other classmates.

"No, I'm different." Xu Zhiwei said coldly.
