This Beta is too salty

Gu Xin caught the gift in a hurry, and when he looked up again, the elevator had already closed.

He thought, Jiang Chen always likes to do surprise attacks, but every time he is very useful, he actually quite enjoys the surprises Jiang Chen brings to him.

After entering the house, his parents were there.

Gu's mother saw that he was happily carrying a gift home, so she knew that he was in a good mood.

Gu's mother asked him: "Son, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"It's all right, you can arrange it." Gu Xin finished changing his shoes, and couldn't wait to enter the room to unwrap the gift Jiang Chen gave him.

Gu's mother asked Gu's father: "Did he not even look at me just now?"

Gu's father nodded: "It seems to be, I guess he was busy going back to the house to unwrap presents, he just had one in his hand."

Gu's mother is naturally very concerned about her son: "I don't know who sent it, it can't be an Omega?"

Dad Gu: "It may also be a friend."

Gu Ma: "If you're a friend, you shouldn't have such an expression. It's as happy as marrying a wife."

Papa Gu: "..."

No matter what his parents thought of Gu Xin's performance when he entered the room just now, he couldn't hear anything in the room, and all he could see was the gift box in his hand.

The packaging is not so exquisite, and even a little clumsy, but Gu Xin can tell that it was not packaged by a professional outside, but Jiang Chen folded it manually by himself. It is obvious who packaged it, Jiang Chen's He never passed the manual class, and sometimes he helped him complete it.

The corner of Gu Xin's mouth couldn't help but twitched.

Although he was eager to see Jiang Chen's gift, the movements of his hands were unhurried. He wanted to see it sooner, but he was unwilling to tear down the gift box that Jiang Chen had worked so hard for. How long did it take to complete.

Seeing the wrapping paper outside, he couldn't help thinking of how much Jiang Chen hated doing handwork when he was a child. Every time the teacher assigned them homework, he would sit in front of the children's desk with a sad face, looking at the children's handwork in distress. pile of paper.

Jiang's father often sits with him because his hands-on ability is really not enough, and Jiang's mother guides him to breastfeed his younger brother. Jiang Xin is even more impatient than Jiang Chen. If she taught her younger brother how to do handwork, she would only make a mess of the handicraft tools and be beaten up by Jiang Ma in the end.

Jiang Chen couldn't finish his homework in the manual class, and he would always go downstairs to find Gu Xin with the tools in his arms.

At this time, he would call Gu Xin aggrievedly: "Brother, I can't finish the manual work."

Gu Xin was always powerless to resist the fact that he was called brother, and always felt that being called brother gave him a sense of responsibility and motivation.

He would always answer Jiang Chen: "Brother will help you do it together."

Jiang Chen would look at him with teary eyes, and then start making demands.

"My brother helped me cut the paper."

"My brother helped me fold the plane."

"Brother helps me origami a boat."

Well, amidst the "brother" yelling again and again, almost all the handicraft classes in Jiangchen's kindergarten and elementary school were completed by Gu Xin for him.

Jiang Chen couldn't even fold a paper airplane well, and it took him a year of patience to wrap a gift box by himself.

But in order to see the real gift inside, Gu Xin still had to unwrap it. He knew Jiang Chen’s origami method, and he unwrapped it bit by bit along the direction he folded, without damaging the outer wrapping paper at all. It is folded and set aside first.

Inside was a light blue box made of paper. He gently lifted the lid, but he didn't know what was inside.

What will Jiang Chen give him?

Don't look at Jiang Chen who is not interested in anything and doesn't care about anyone, in fact, when he is serious, people can feel his delicate side.

Finally, Gu Xin saw clearly the gift Jiang Chen gave him.

a photo album.

An elementary school photo album with shared memories.

Gu Xin transferred to the Experimental Primary School in the sixth grade, which meant that he did not get the graduation certificate of the Sunshine Primary School that he and Jiang Chen attended.

All his primary school memories are in Sunshine Primary School, Jiang Chen, Jiang Xin, Jiang Zheng, and many friends whose faces have been blurred in memory.

The photo album is very thick, carrying the memories of their five years of primary school together.

Jiang Chen, a first-year student, is so cute. Standing next to him, the little one is not tall enough for him, and insists on taking pictures with his shoulders.

He still had baby fat on his face in the first grade, and he was too short back then.

In the second grade, Jiang Chen's front teeth changed late, and every time he took pictures, he only pursed his lips, and he didn't want to show his teeth, he was afraid of being ugly.

In the second grade, he still has baby fat. In Jiang Chen's words, he is not cool at all, but he is a little taller.

In the third grade, he and Jiang Chen were already able to run freely on the basketball court. The two cooperated seamlessly on the court. During the break, they held the basketball and hugged their heads together. They didn't know what they were talking about. In the game that ended, the two of them were chatting about where they made mistakes, or about the little idiot they met who could only hit people but couldn't play.

In the fourth grade, he and Jiang Chen also played football while playing basketball. Although their love and skill level are not as good as basketball, their cooperation is still tacit enough.

In the fifth grade, he and Jiang Chen completed their elementary school inter-class football match, and their class won No.1.

Sixth grade is gone.

There is no junior high school either.

This is just a photo album with only primary school memories, but Gu Xin is satisfied.

The photo album made all his frozen elementary school memories vivid and clear, and all those memories that were almost forgotten have pictures, happy, unhappy, fun, not fun, all the memories of playing with Jiang Chen are all there up.

This gift was more valuable than any gift he received today, and it was the most precious gift that he could not buy with money.

He wanted to thank Jiang Chen, but thanking them in person didn't seem to be enough to express their feelings. Using the word "thank you" might even insult this simple beauty. When it's Jiang Chen's birthday, he will give a gift in return , to a more elaborate gift.

One month is enough for him to prepare.

Gu Xin's birthday this year was low-key, but it was more fulfilling than any other year. Even though he only slept for two or three hours that day, he still ate with his family energetically that night.

Gu Ma asked Gu Xin: "Why don't you ask Shang Jiang Chen and his family to have dinner together? It will be more lively."

Dad Gu: "I have no objection. It seems that we haven't had dinner with their family since we came back. We can get together on Xinxin's birthday, son, what do you think?"

Gu Xin answered a little quickly: "Okay."

Gu Ma immediately started to make arrangements. The relationship between her and Jiang Ma is still very good. Even if they haven't lived here for three years, they often chat on WeChat, complain about their son and husband, and often share interesting videos they saw online. And news, although their family backgrounds and occupations are different, but as mothers, they definitely have a common language.

When Jiang Ma received the call from Gu Ma, she was still worried about dinner. She wanted to go out to eat, but the three slackers felt that it was cold outside and didn't want to go out. Today is Sunday, it will take a little longer to order food and deliver it, order takeaway It wasn't very clean either. When Mama Gu called to find her, she was struggling to choose the vegetables on the grocery shopping a. The good ones were all picked out, so it was too difficult to choose.

"Xiaozhi." Gu's mother's name is Xu Xiaozhi.

"It's me, how will your family arrange dinner today?"

"I just picked vegetables on a. I forgot to buy vegetables today. I'm so worried. When I go to the supermarket, I guess they are all leftovers. They are all sold out on a. How about you?"

"It's fine if you haven't cooked yet. It's Xinxin's birthday today, why don't we have fun together?"

Jiang's mother turned her head and asked Jiang's father in a low voice: "Are you going? On Gu Xin's birthday, Xiaozhi asked us to eat together."

Father Jiang: "Yes."

Jiang Zheng changed his appearance of dying just now: "I'm going!"

Jiang Ma didn't need to ask Jiang Chen anymore, she just came back from playing outside with Gu Xin this afternoon.

Gu Ma over there has already heard the answer given by Jiang's family.

Half an hour later, the two families gathered downstairs.

Jiang Zheng sweetly called Uncle and Auntie, and became quite cute and smart. Jiang Chen stood at the end with his hands tucked into his down jacket.

Gu Xin walked to his side and whispered, "I like that photo album."

Jiang Chen was a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to look at Gu Xin directly, and said, "You were there, but the teacher didn't make it because you weren't in the sixth grade."

In fact, he still asked the teacher for some photos. Their elementary school head teacher is really nice, and they still keep the photos of them when they were in elementary school.

However, he didn't tell Gu Xin that the teacher actually sent him a photo of the three g's yesterday, and he only picked a group photo of the two of them, skipping over the photos of other students.

When the Gu family treats guests, they naturally go to a good restaurant.

We ate home-cooked food, talked about daily household affairs, and were happy.

After the meal, the cake that Dad Gu ordered was delivered immediately.

Gu Xin pulled Jiang Chen to stand in front of the cake and blew out the candles.

It seems to be back to when I was a child again, the two families had shows together, sometimes at Jiang's house, sometimes at Gu's house, treat whoever's house is free, never need to care about gains and losses.

After sharing the cake, Father Jiang and Father Gu sat together and chatted and drank. I took a group photo and sent it to Moments.

Jiang Chen and Gu Xin sat on the small bar by the window, chatting and eating cake while watching the night outside the window.

Jiang Chen: "How did you celebrate your birthday in No. [-] Middle School?"

In the past few years of separation, their birthdays are always stuck on working days. Jiang Chen and Gu Xin always mail gifts to each other in advance, and it seems that none of them actually hand them over to each other.

Gu Xin thought for a while: "It seems that I will go out to eat with Jiang Yibai and the others. I haven't had a good time, how about you?"

Jiang Chen giggled, "Hey, then I'm different. I always go out to barbecue with Wei Meng and the others."

There are very few birthday parties who are serious about eating cakes.

I don't know what activities are going on today, but fireworks suddenly lit up in the night sky!

Everyone ran to the window to watch together.

Gu Ma: "I haven't seen fireworks for a long time."

Jiang Ma: "Me too. The city has not allowed them to release them. What holiday is today?"

Jiang Chen casually said, "Today is Gu Xin's birthday."

The crowd laughed.

No matter what the holiday is, they just need to know that today is Gu Xin's birthday.

This is a lucky and beautiful day.

The fireworks are over, and the two families are going home.

Because the children have to go to school tomorrow.

In front of his parents, Jiang Chen actually didn't stick to Gu Xin very much, whether he was in a car or walking, he was quite normal.

Before leaving, Gu Xin gently pressed his head, messing up his hair.

Jiang Chen looked back at him, Gu Xin smiled at him, and got out of the elevator with his parents.

It's not that Jiang Chen is the only one who can play pranks, he can too.

On her 16th birthday, Gu Xin had a great time.

The breath of winter is becoming more and more solemn, and going out every morning is an extremely painful process. Gu Xin and Jiang Chen have given up riding bicycles and took the subway instead.

Although the subway is only one stop away, the subway is a little far from home and school, and I have to leave 10 minutes earlier than usual.

For Jiang Chen, it was more than pain, he lost 10 minutes of life.

Gu Xin had gone upstairs to wake him up for two consecutive weeks.

It was about the same today, Gu Xin did not receive a reply from Jiang Chen for a long time.

If Jiang Chen woke up, he would definitely tell him to wait with a half-asleep voice. Today is the same as yesterday morning, and there is still no sound at this point. At this time, Gu Xin knows what to do, he has to go Tell Jiang Chen to wake up.

Compared to summer, waking Jiang Chen up in the winter morning is a particularly difficult task. Jiang's mother gave up waking him up, so this task fell on Gu Xin's head.

It has become a daily routine for Gu Xin to ring the doorbell to come in every morning.

Jiang Zheng yawned and opened the door for him: "Brother Gu Xin, good morning, my brother didn't wake up again?"

Gu Xin quickly put on the indoor slippers that Jiang Ma specially prepared for him: "Well, I'll come up and call him."

Jiang Ma asked him, "Have you had breakfast?"

Gu Xin: "I've eaten, Auntie."

Jiang Xin suddenly asked Gu Xin: "Have you taken the third year of high school by yourself?"

Gu Xin: "...not yet."

Jiang Xin, who has been very motivated to study recently, was disappointed: "I thought I could ask a few questions."

Jiang Ma: "Jiang Xin, aren't you embarrassing Gu Xin? He's only in the first year of high school."

Jiang Xin looked at Gu Xin suspiciously: "Oh."

Gu Xin emphasized: "Sister, I really didn't study in the third year of high school, so I can't teach you." He just learned the second semester of the second year of high school by himself.

"Okay." Jiang Xin carried her schoolbag and went out.

After going through several small hurdles, Gu Xin finally pushed open the door of Jiang Chen's room.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a faint fragrance in Gu Xin's breath. He has been used to it for the past few days, and he gradually likes the smell in Jiang Chen's room. He didn't smell it for a long time, probably it was The scent of body wash?

Jiang Chen was still sound asleep on the bed, with one leg tucked under the quilt, most of his face was on the pillow, his long hair covered his eyes.

Gu Xin gently closed the door, put down his schoolbag, and did not immediately enter the morning call process, but squatted beside his bed and watched Jiang Chen for a long time.

Jiang Chen's eyebrows are not as rough and thick as Alpha's. His eyebrows are also thick, but not thick, forming a beautiful willow-leaf eyebrow. It is said that most people with willow-leaf eyebrows are soft-hearted, gentle in character, and delicate in mind.

Gu Xin raised his hand and poked Jiang Chen's cheek: "Chenchen, wake up."

Jiang Chen didn't move, but Gu Xin continued to poke his face. It was soft and slippery, and it felt super nice. This was his favorite place to touch during this time, and it was also his secret.

He wanted to be closer to Jiang Chen.

Finally, the overwhelmed Jiang Chen grabbed his fingers, pressed the phone against the quilt, and muttered, "Don't poke any more."

Gu Xin then stopped, lying on the edge of his bed and said, "If you can't afford it, you'll be late again."

At this time, Jiang Chen could say anything without opening his eyes in order to sleep, "You go first, please make me late."

Gu Xin ignored his nonsense: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up."

Jiang Chen couldn't sleep because of his nagging, his eyes opened, and he met Gu Xin's smiling eyes.

"Laughing fart, I see my ugly face without washing my face every morning."

"Then you reminded me. I'll take pictures of the whole process of waking you up tomorrow morning."

"If you dare to take pictures, I really dare to sleep."

"Then I will shoot."

In fact, without Jiang Chen knowing, Gu Xin did not know how many pictures of him sleeping, but he couldn't say that.

Either way, it finally woke up Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen went to wash up, Gu Xin helped him fold the quilt, and then sat at his desk and wanted to pack the books he needed today, but Jiang Chen had recently developed a good habit and had already packed them before going to bed.

He found Jiang Chen's cell phone that was thrown between the pillows and put it on his schoolbag, so he didn't have to search for it when he came out later.

Normally at this point, Jiang Chen’s phone only had messages from Wei Meng, but now a message popped up from someone Gu Xin didn’t know.

Of course, Gu Xin doesn't have the habit of peeping at other people's mobile phones, he just saw them by accident.

Ka Fei: [Chen'er, help the world! ]

Who is this coffee?

Is it the guy Wei Meng mentioned in Jiang Chen's circle of friends before?Granny gray?

Gu Xin couldn't remember the scene of them walking together intimately, did Grandma Hui have a good relationship with Jiang Chen?

At this time, Jiang Chen came out of the wash, had a quick breakfast, and then went out with Gu Xin.

In the elevator and in the subway, Jiang Chen kept his head down and sent WeChat messages to people, but he didn't talk to Gu Xin much.

One of the two was chatting, the other had thoughts in his mind, and he didn't notice the time for a while.

They managed to be late by just 1 minute.

Jiang Chen thought of yesterday when the director of the Academic Affairs Office brought: "Hey, you two, why did you come so early today, why don't you sleep a little longer?", and then the name was hung on the big screen and rotated.

He grabbed Gu Xin who was going to continue walking, and pulled his hand to turn in another direction.

Gu Xingang was still full of worries, but now that he was held by Jiang Chen's hand, there was a warm current in his heart, as if he was okay again.

Gu Xin: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Chen: "Of course I took you to climb over the wall. I don't want to be caught by Lao Xu, he is so annoying," he asked again, "Haven't you tried it before?"

Gu Xin was faintly excited: "No."

The students in the No. [-] Middle School are relatively well-behaved, unlike the No. [-] Middle School, no matter whether they are late or not, climbing over the wall is the only way to prove their uniqueness. Only climbing over the wall is enough to show their handsomeness!

There is also a place where you can climb over the wall in No. [-] Middle School. It is near the old teaching building. Jiang Chen found it without any difficulty after going to the school forum here.

The wall wasn't too high, Gu Xin climbed up easily, followed by Jiang Chen, who also easily climbed up, and jumped neatly onto the sandy ground.

When both of them thought that they had avoided being late perfectly, the school's radio suddenly sounded Lao Xu's voice.

"Jiang Chen and Gu Xin from Class [-], Senior [-], please don't climb the school fence at will!"

Jiang Chen looked up at the flashing red light on the big tree next to him: "Trough!"

Gu Xin followed his line of sight and saw the surveillance camera hidden in the tree. He smiled very calmly.
