love of life

Chapter 20 Chapter 20

These few days in class, Gu Ming deliberately kept a distance from Xu Zhe, but Xu Zhe took the initiative to find him. "Gu Ming, let's make peace. Since entering college, I think you are the most compatible in class. This is my fault. There is no need for us to be so unhappy." Xu Zhe took out his phone after finishing speaking , and deleted all the chat records in front of Gu Ming.It was rare for Gu Ming to see him being so serious, and couldn't help laughing.

Xu Zhe looked at him and said, "Is it okay if you smile?"

Wei Qing was very happy on the sidelines: "You finally reconciled. These two weeks have really suffocated me, and I don't have much fun in class. By the way, after the exam next week, we will organize a hangout. The second child and the duck are both Go, you two, too."

"Where are you going to play? It's such a hot weather." Xu Zhe didn't have too much interest. His physique is particularly prone to sweating, and he feels hot wherever he goes.

"I must go to a cool place in summer. How about going to Qinghai? Summer is the most beautiful season there." Wei Qing continued to lobby.

Xu Zhe raised his eyebrows, "Qinghai? This place doesn't seem very popular, why don't you go to Tibet?"

"I have compared everything. First, Tibet is too high, and I am worried that altitude sickness will be unbearable; second, the border area is not peaceful recently, and it is not recommended to go there recently for safety reasons; third, the scenic spots in Tibet are too scattered, and more than half of the time has to be visited. Wasted on the road, the car is too hard. Let's go to Qinghai Lake."

Xu Zhe has never been very keen on travel, especially when travel is too tiring, and he has no interest.At this time, the second child and the duck came over, "Xiaobao, are you still persuading the two of them to go to Qinghai Lake? We all said that it was impossible. I was so tired just after the exam, so I might as well go to Dali to sleep for two days." I feel good." Because the surname Wei is rare, the only celebrity this group of laymen know is Wei Xiaobao, so they nicknamed Wei Qing Xiaobao.

Xu Zhe picked up the book on the table and hit Wei Qing on the head: "Didn't you say that they both agree? Cooperate with you kid to lie to me? Have you got fatter?"

"Oh, the two of them didn't refuse, saying that if I can persuade you two, they will accompany you." Wei Qing hugged his head and hummed.

"Stay with you." Xu Zhe said.

The second child suggested: "Why don't we go to Lijiang, maybe we can have an affair or something."

Wei Qing glared at him and said, "It's true to call you the second child. If you don't think about your second child for a minute, you can't live, right?"

Xu Zhe rolled his eyes at the two, and asked Gu Ming, "What do you think?"

"Let's make a decision after the exam. Take the class well first." Gu Ming said.

At this time, the class leader suddenly stepped onto the podium and said: "Today, the math teacher has something to ask for leave, and the morning class will not be in class. Students can arrange it by themselves."

Wei Qing said: "Damn, why didn't you say it earlier? We came to school early in the morning. Are you going to play basketball?"

"No, you guys go." Gu Ming packed his schoolbag and left the classroom.He drove home with some displeasure.As soon as he parked the car and walked out of the parking lot, he saw Lin Zexi coming out of the building door with both hands empty. He looked hurried and didn't notice Gu Ming standing more than ten meters away.Gu Ming felt a little strange, hesitated for a moment, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed Lin Zexi's number.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Gu Ming asked casually.

Lin Zexi asked in surprise, "Why are you calling me right now? Shouldn't you be in class?"

"Teacher is late, I just want to ask what you are doing now, have you bought food?" Gu Ming said while staring at Lin Zexi not far away.

"The dishes have been bought a long time ago, and I'm currently researching how to make mousse cakes." Lin Zexi's voice on the phone was normal, but his footsteps stopped, and he turned and said to the flower bed in the community.

Gu Ming frowned, and continued to ask: "Then are you looking at the recipe now?"

Lin Zexi paused for a moment and said, "Well. Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. The pot is almost burnt, so you should go to class." Without waiting for Gu Ming's reaction, he hung up the phone in a hurry and walked towards the street in a hurry go.

Gu Ming listened to the busy tone from the phone and watched his back gradually walking away, an unknown fire rose from his heart.He chased after him with two big strides, and was about to call to stop him, but saw him reach out and stop a taxi to leave.A deep curiosity swept over him. People who usually save even fifty cents are willing to spend money to take a taxi?Gu Ming frowned even tighter.It happened that a taxi stopped in front of him. Before the two people in the back seat had time to get out of the car, Gu Ming opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, urging the driver: "Hurry up, master, follow the one in front." rent."

The car drove through the urban area, turned seven turns and eight turns for five or six kilometers, and finally stopped.Gu Ming also got out of the car, followed Lin Zexi cautiously, and saw him go up the steps by the side of the road.Only then did Gu Ming look up at the building on the side of the road, and it turned out to be the police station near his school.Gu Ming was stunned for a while, then stared at Lin Zexi quickly walking into the gate of the police station.What was Lin Zexi going to do when he came to the police station so far away?He stood at the door and glanced inside, but he didn't find him, but attracted the security guards.

"Hello, what are you doing?"

"I...that...what can I do here?" Gu Ming was at a loss for words for a while, and asked casually.

The security guard looked at him like a monster and said, "You don't know what the police station does?"

Gu Ming didn't pay much attention to the security guards, he kept looking inside, and said to himself, "What on earth is this for?"

The security guard got a little impatient: "Hey, do you really not know or fake? Even kindergarten children know that this police station mainly comes to report crimes..."

Before the security guard finished speaking, Gu Ming continued: "Report the crime? No way, there is nothing to report."

"I said that you are deliberately making trouble, don't you? Don't block the door if you have nothing to do. You are busy." The security guard was already angry, and his tone was very unhappy.Only then did Gu Ming realize that the security guard had taken his talking to himself as a conversation with him, and quickly explained: "Oh, brother, you misunderstood, of course I know what the police station is for, I just don't know where the man went in just now What, what office did you see him go into? Do you know what he's here for?"

"What do you care about people coming here? Do things if you have something to do, and leave quickly if you have nothing to do. Don't delay your work here." The security guard said with a dark face.

"I have something to do, wait for someone." Gu Ming still stood at the door and looked inside.

"Wait for someone to stand by the side, don't block the gate." The security guard looked Gu Ming from top to bottom with a look of disgust.

Apart from countless question marks, Gu Ming couldn't hold anything in his mind.Within a few minutes, Gu Ming saw Lin Zexi walking out side by side with a man wearing a dark blue jacket. The man was about 30 years old, with a crew-shaven head and a rather sturdy figure. Just as he walked out, the security guard just laughed. Greeted calmly: "Captain Liu, get out."

The man nodded at the security guard.Lin Zexi's expression was a bit reserved, and the two came to the gate, "That..." Lin Zexi murmured, pointed to the side, and was thinking about how to say goodbye, when Captain Liu opened his mouth neatly.

"Xiao Lin, if you have any difficulties, come to me at any time. If you need to introduce work or something, don't be shy to ask. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first. You can go back quickly." After Liu team finished speaking, he walked quickly towards the parking lot go.Lin Zexi looked at the back of the other party, and stood at the door for a few seconds in a daze, his eyes suddenly became hot.Although life has been cruel to him in the past few years, there are always kind people around him.He sniffed hard, took out his phone to check the time, and walked towards the nearby bus stop.

"Gu Ming, Gu Ming." Lin Zexi looked at Gu Ming who kept pouring water into the cup with an absent-minded look, and the water spilled all over the table.

"Oops!" The water flowed down from the edge of the table, splashing Gu Ming's pants, and he came back to his senses.

"Are you okay? I think you haven't been in a good mood for two days." Lin Zexi asked while wiping the water on the table.

"It's okay. I'm preparing for the exam recently, and I'm a little tired." Ever since he found out that Lin Zexi went to the police station without telling him, Gu Ming often pretended to go out and hid nearby to observe Lin Zexi, but he never went to other places except for grocery shopping.Gu Ming didn't ask about that either, he just observed secretly, but didn't find anything unusual.

"Business is more about science, right? You don't need to deliberately prepare for the exam, you just need to study hard at ordinary times. You have to memorize a lot of things before the liberal arts exam, and that's hard work."

"Although it mainly relies on daily accumulation, there are still many concepts that need to be consolidated before the exam. By the way, what major did you study before?" Gu Ming asked naturally.

"Management, at the end of the term, I memorized the books in a daze..." Lin Zexi replied casually, stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, turned and went into the kitchen.

"Which school did you go to?" Gu Ming obviously didn't intend to just let him go, he chased into the kitchen and continued to ask.

Lin Zexi acted as if he didn't hear it, and was busy with himself. Gu Ming couldn't help but walked over and grabbed his wrist, and continued to ask: "You went to college, right? Why is it like this now? What happened? "

"It's nothing, it's not important anymore, I only care about my current life. Let's make mung bean soup in the afternoon, it's hot, just to reduce the fire." After speaking, Lin Zexi broke away from Gu Ming's hand, turned around and went to the cupboard to get mung beans.

Didi, Gu Ming's phone rang a notification tone.He opened WeChat and saw that it was Yu Xiaoxiao who left him a message again.Since that meeting, she has been looking for him reluctantly.He had already obviously refused, but she didn't expect that she would still pester him with a stern face.Speaking of which, her conditions are pretty good, but he has no mood to go out to play recently.As usual, he glanced at the message and threw the phone on the sofa, ignoring it.

The matter of Lin Zexi has always troubled Gu Ming, he was a little absent-minded in study and life, and his curiosity and doubts continued to expand.Unexamined finally made it through the few days of the exam.At 11:30 noon on Wednesday, Gu Ming finished the exam of the last class of this semester. He was thinking about the sweet and sour pork ribs made by Lin Zexi. He was rushing to the parking lot, but he was blocked by someone.

"I sent so many messages, and you didn't reply to any of them, it's really cruel."

Gu Ming looked at Yu Xiaoxiao in front of him. She was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt today, and she was carrying a small red bright leather bag on her shoulders. Her long hair was simply tied in a bun behind her head. Looks like a senior intern.

"Why are you here?" He never thought he would see her outside of the night.

"Anyway, this is also my alma mater. I'm here to reminisce about my student days, and I'll ask you to ask questions. How about it? Walk around the campus with me. I haven't been back for almost two years." She turned her head and looked around. Looking at it, the exquisite makeup on the face has attracted the attention of many people.

"I still have something to do, so I'm going back first." After Gu Ming finished speaking, he wanted to leave her side, but she grabbed his arm.

"You should have finished your exam, right? It's noon, no matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. How about this, you go shopping with me, and I'll treat you to dinner."

"Miss Yu, don't we know each other too well?" He seemed a little helpless.

"You can just call me Xiaoxiao. Who says we are not familiar? As the saying goes, we meet each other for the third time. We can be said to be old friends. Also, the person I Yu Xiaoxiao likes, There is no way to escape." She said, leaning over, holding his left arm with her right hand, and dragging him towards the playground.

Gu Ming struggled for a while, and said in a somewhat irritable tone, "Let go of me, I don't want to make it ugly in public."

But she smiled indifferently and said, "If you don't want to make it look ugly, don't shout. Many people in the school know you, right? Me too." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone calling her name behind her.

"Yu Xiaoxiao, it's really you. I thought I was mistaken." A man with an old voice said with a smile.

"Teacher Yu, why is it you? I thought you had retired." Yu Xiaoxiao grabbed Gu Ming's arm tightly, turned her head and replied with a smile.

"Not yet, I'm going to retire after the new year. Hey, isn't this so-and-so from the School of Economics? I saw him during the invigilation, why? Do you know each other?" Teacher Yu adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, squinting The glasses looked at Gu Ming.Yu Xiaoxiao, who has graduated for several years, still remembers that Gu Ming is his current student, and after taking his class for more than a year, he said that he was just someone from the School of Economics, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Hello, Teacher Yu." He greeted reluctantly.Yu Xiaoxiao continued to snatch the words away, "Well, I know, I came here specifically to find him today."

"Oh." Teacher Yu nodded, with a long voice in his mouth, and looked up and down Gu Ming, making him feel a little nervous.Suddenly, Teacher Yu opened his mouth and said, "Do you think he looks a bit like Wang Yijie? He has the same body shape and that nose."

Gu Ming was wondering who this Wang Yijie was, and suddenly felt that the person holding his arm became stiff all of a sudden, and the expression on his face was also very unnatural, and the atmosphere suddenly turned downhill.

Teacher Yu seemed to realize something was wrong, and quickly said: "Oh, I'm sorry, the teacher shouldn't have mentioned this matter. Sure enough, people are getting old and stupid." Teacher Yu apologized and walked past them with his hands behind his back, towards The cafeteria has gone.He turned his head and glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao, who was almost petrified, and was thinking about how to get rid of her, but was startled by her pale face.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked tentatively, seeing that she had almost calmed down, he continued to ask: "Who is that Wang Yijie?

Yu Xiaoxiao's lips curled into a big smile, and he said nonchalantly, "A classmate is about your height and likes to play basketball."

"Really? He really looks like me? When I have a chance, I'll meet him." Gu Ming said to himself.Suddenly feeling that the arm that had been tightly wrapped around her was loosened, Yu Xiaoxiao was like a leaking ball, completely without the spirit that was wrapped around him just now.

"Since you have something to do, let's do it next time." After she finished speaking, she turned and strode towards the school gate without stopping.Gu Ming looked at her back, leaving a big question in his heart.

Gu Ming drove home and just parked the car when the phone message sounded again. She subconsciously clicked on WeChat, and Yu Xiaoxiao sent him another message, "I just found out that I like you a lot. Are you free tonight?" Same place."

Gu Ming looked at the text message and felt a little dumbfounded. Is there something wrong with this woman?They didn't say a few words in total, so why did they talk about liking?Or is this a popular way to hook up now?He has always positioned her as the type who comes out to have fun, shouldn't she be the same?He turned off the phone screen and ignored it.

It's finally summer vacation, and I have a lot more free time. Lin Zexi is not used to Gu Ming being at home all day long.He is always busy, but he can always feel Gu Ming's probing eyes, which makes him a little annoyed.

"Hey, I'm on summer vacation. It's boring to be idle. How about we go on a trip?" Gu Ming muted the TV, reached out and threw the remote control on the coffee table, and said to Lin Zexi.

"Travel? You can ask your classmates and friends to go, I'll forget it." Lin Zexi said without raising his head while cleaning the TV cabinet seriously.

"You can go with us, anyway, you'll be fine if you stay at home." Gu Ming continued to persuade.

"You guys go, I really don't need it, I just like to stay quietly." Lin Zexi insisted.

"That won't work, I don't want to leave you at home alone." Gu Ming said.

"If you don't mind me being alone at your house, I can go out and find a place to live while you're away." Lin Zexi said calmly.

When Gu Ming heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he said in a blunt tone: "What do you mean? You think I can't trust you at home alone? Why are you so small-minded? We have known each other for so long, and I am like this in your heart people?"

Lin Zexi still didn't stop what he was doing, and said while wiping the table: "This is not a matter of pettiness. We are not related, but it is normal for you to have such concerns."

"Where did you see that I have such worries? I am so unbearable in your heart?" Gu Ming felt an unknown anger rushing to his forehead.

Lin Zexi paused, looked up and saw his ugly face, thought for a few seconds and said, "I didn't think about it that much, I think human nature is like this."

Gu Ming frowned. It was a sunny morning, but he made a bad mood.He changed the subject with a dark face. "Let's go to Xishuangbanna. Xu Zhe asked me out a few days ago, and they will leave the day after tomorrow."

Lin Zexi wiped the table faster and faster with a rag, "I won't go, you go." It was the first time Gu Ming heard such strong words from Lin Zexi, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Go out and relax. It's okay to be idle anyway. They will arrange the air tickets and hotels, so you can follow along." Gu Ming continued to persuade.Originally, he just mentioned it casually, but after Lin Zexi refused, he wanted him to go with him even more.

"It's really unnecessary, I don't want to go anywhere." Lin Zexi said.

"What on earth are you doing?" Gu Ming was a little displeased with his attitude, obviously he had already begged him so much, and obviously he could satisfy many unreasonable demands of his in the past, but this time he flatly refused.

"Nothing." Lin Zexi picked up the rag and stood up, turned around to walk away, but was grabbed by Gu Ming.

Lin Zexi's hand suddenly shrank back, as if frightened.At this time, Gu Ming remembered the panic attack he had when he first came here. Although he hadn't relapsed after such a long time, he still didn't dare to be too strong, so he let go of his hand quickly.

Lin Zexi reached back, pulled down the sleeves of his shirt, covered his wrists tightly, picked up the rag and continued to wipe the table.Gu Ming stayed in the room irritably by himself, and they couldn't even quarrel happily, which made him very depressed.The surroundings were quiet, and there was no movement outside.He kept guessing what Lin Zexi was doing, but he didn't open the door.As time passed, the setting sun climbed higher and higher on the wall, and finally disappeared into the distant horizon.The sky gradually darkened, and his restless heart gradually calmed down.

Suddenly there was a familiar knock on the door, and Gu Ming glanced at his phone subconsciously, it was exactly seven o'clock in the evening.

"Dinner is ready, let's come out to eat." Lin Zexi's voice came through the door, feeling a little dry.

"Okay." Gu Ming replied as usual, but felt that his voice was strange and unnatural.
