The get out of class was just over, and while Gu Ling was correcting the test papers, Jiang Mingcheng took Gu Ling's thermos cup to get her some water.

Jiang Mingcheng had a good foundation in English and just passed the exam, which surprised Gu Ling a little.

In Chinese, except for the filling-in-the-blank questions of ancient poems and essays which were related to the textbook, other question types basically relied on daily accumulation. Therefore, Jiang Mingcheng wrote everything he should write and finally scored around 70 points.

He did well in these two subjects. As for the remaining math and comprehensive science, he only answered multiple-choice questions, so I won’t talk about his accuracy rate.

Gu Ling didn't say anything after grading the papers, which made Jiang Mingcheng feel a little uneasy.

He opened the thermos cup and handed it to Gu Ling: "Drink more hot water and you will get better soon. Please don't be angry."

"Don't be angry. It's better than I thought."

Jiang Mingcheng: ...

Gu Ling tore off a piece of paper and quickly wrote down a bunch of book titles on it. These were some basic questions with detailed answers that were more suitable for Jiang Mingcheng's situation.

Jiang Mingcheng held the list of books and frowned: "I will buy it myself?"

Gu Ling glanced at him and said, "How about I buy it?"

Jiang Mingcheng stopped talking. Gu Ling was so poor and he was going to use the information himself, so of course it would be more appropriate for him to buy it.

When talking about studying, Gu Ling was quite decisive: "Buy the book and do it yourself. If you don't understand the answer, come and ask me. Do you have any questions?"

Jiang Mingcheng felt that he was now just a pawn under his superior, and a sense of mission of being entrusted with an important task surged in his heart.

He nodded carefully and said in a resounding voice: "No problem!"

Gu Ling: “…” It felt like he was imagining something weird.

Since that day, Jiang Mingcheng joined the army of people who studied hard. He no longer went to the Internet cafe to play games, spent less time hanging out outside, and spent every day reading and studying.

During lunch break, there are only a few students in the classroom studying or taking a nap on the desk.

At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Ling would lie down and sleep for half an hour. When Jiang Mingcheng finished a test paper, he would see Gu Ling sleeping soundly with his face turned to the side.

Her cheek was slightly deformed where it touched her arm, and her baby face was chubby, adding a bit of childishness.

Gu Ling was asleep at the moment. She did not try to put on a cold expression and looked very harmless.

Jiang Mingcheng imitated her and leaned his head on his arm. He stretched out his fingers to trace the outline of Gu Ling's face through the air. Thinking of how unhappy this man was all day, he said in his heart:

Why don't you like baby faces? Baby faces are obviously cute.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Mingcheng gradually fell asleep.

When he woke up, Gu Ling was no longer beside him. He stretched his hands upwards and suddenly saw Gu Ling and Lu Lin in the front row.

There were still a few minutes before class started and Chen Fei hadn't arrived yet. Gu Ling sat in Chen Fei's seat with his head close to Lu Lin, muttering something.

Jiang Mingcheng knew that these two would sit together from time to time to discuss questions and difficult problems, but!

Why! Both of them! Wearing the same clothes!?

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, wearing exactly the same blue and white clothes, and both are top students, they are a perfect match... Bullshit!

Jiang Mingcheng felt a little stuffy in his chest, and happened to hear the girls next to him discussing their favorite stars.

"Did you see the trending searches yesterday? They were wearing the same clothes. Is it official?"

"Of course they are. They are wearing couple outfits openly."

As soon as the words "couple outfits" came out, Jiang Mingcheng's eyes changed.

This is this...

This can't be possible, or at least shouldn't be possible. When did these two get together under his nose?

He had a cold face and cold air was coming out of his body. The students around him couldn't help but shut up, and soon the whole classroom became quiet.

The sudden silence made Gu Ling and Lu Lin look up at the podium. They didn't see the teacher, but it was almost time for class to start.

Gu Ling began to pack up his books: "This question is almost like this."

Lu Lin smiled: "Well, thank you."

When Gu Ling returned to his seat, she looked at Jiang Mingcheng's expression and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?"

Jiang Mingcheng couldn't hold back and asked directly, "Why is Lu Lin wearing the same clothes as you?"

Gu Ling looked at his school uniform: "Is there a problem?"

Jiang Mingcheng: “!”

What a big problem!

Jiang Mingcheng was angry, but he didn't understand why he was angry.

Chen Fei arrived late and greeted his good brothers with great energy. Jiang Mingcheng replied fiercely: "Good afternoon!"

Angry, but polite.

After Chen Fei sat down, he whispered to Lu Lin: "As expected of Brother Jiang, you can even say murderous intent when saying good afternoon."

Then he patted Lu Lin on the back and said in a loud voice, "Oh, by the way, why are you wearing a school uniform?"

Lu Lin explained: "I accidentally got my clothes dirty at noon, and the clothes I wore before weren't dry yet, so I took out my school uniform."

Lu Lin doesn’t have many clothes, and he only wears the same few sets over and over again. He didn’t wear school uniform before because wearing a school uniform would remind him of some not-so-nice memories.

Fade Chen hesitated: "But before..."

Lu Lin smiled and said, "It's just a piece of clothing."

He is no longer the bullied Lu Lin of the past, and he will no longer be excluded because of a school uniform that does not fit in with others.

So when he saw the No. 13 Middle School uniform at the bottom of the box today, he chose to put it on.

It's just a piece of clothing.

Jiang Mingcheng in the back row naturally heard their conversation. He suddenly remembered that when he first met Lu Lin, Lu Lin was wearing this blue and white clothes.

But at that time, the school uniform was so dirty that it was hard to see.

It turns out that this is the school uniform of No. 13 Middle School.

No wonder it looks so familiar.

Gu Ling watched Jiang Mingcheng's expression change from gloomy to bright, and he really couldn't understand what he was thinking.

The days passed by uneventfully, and winter came in the blink of an eye.

Maybe it's because the days have been peaceful for too long, and there has to be something exciting.

Gu Ling and Jiang Mingcheng walked out of the school gate. There was an intersection not far from the entrance of No. 13 Middle School. At this time, the intersection was in chaos and pedestrians fled in panic.

A man was waving a kitchen knife around and chasing a girl. Pedestrians were unarmed and scattered everywhere. There were a few passers-by around who were ready to take action, but they did not dare to step forward because of the knife in the man's hand.

Gu Ling took out his cell phone and called the police, but when he wasn't paying attention, Jiang Mingcheng rushed out.

"Jiang Mingcheng!"

Gu Ling shouted and hurriedly chased after the man.

Jiang Mingcheng grabbed the strap of his schoolbag and smashed the heavy bag at the knife-wielding man like a sledgehammer.

The man waved his hands to avoid, Jiang Mingcheng protected the girl and retreated. The man continued to swing the knife forward, the sharp knife was close at hand, Jiang Mingcheng's mind went blank but he still did not dodge, and stood firmly in front of the girl.

The man's attention was attracted by Jiang Mingcheng. Gu Ling kicked the man and he staggered a few steps and fell to the ground. Several pedestrians around him who were ready to take action immediately rushed forward and stopped the man together.

"Are you okay?" Gu Ling looked anxious and pulled Jiang Mingcheng to look him up and down.

Jiang Mingcheng came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief a little late, then he felt scared: "It's okay."

Seeing that he was indeed not hurt, Gu Ling's face suddenly turned cold. He distanced himself from him and stopped talking.

This kind of rescue was not the first time, but the danger this time was particularly great.

Jiang Mingcheng basically stayed with Gu Ling during this period and rarely hung out outside, but sometimes he still encountered some bullying scenes.

Jiang Mingcheng would always rush forward to beat up the bully. Gu Ling was used to his kindness and was responsible for holding his schoolbag for him, or secretly kicking someone when they attacked him.

But the previous times were just minor incidents, unlike this time.

The only thing that remained unchanged was that the idiot Jiang Mingcheng still rushed forward without hesitation.

Soon, the police arrived at the scene, arrested the man, and took a group of enthusiastic people to the police station to take statements.

After leaving the police station, Gu Ling walked towards home on her own. Jiang Mingcheng stopped her and asked, "Why are you ignoring me?"

Jiang Mingcheng didn't understand. He was clearly doing good things, so why did Gu Ling look so dissatisfied?

Gu Ling broke free from his hand: "Jiang Mingcheng, you are not the only hero in this world. Sometimes, can you consider your own safety first?"

The cold wind was howling, and as they spoke, the hot air turned into white mist that filled the air.

Winter days are always gray, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and the surrounding scenery is not very clear.

Jiang Mingcheng had a blank expression on his face and his eyes were calm. He said calmly, "Does anyone care about my safety?"

He smiled softly and lowered his eyes: "No. So using my safety in exchange for other people's gratitude and other people's safety, isn't that a good thing?"

He is a king, a lonely king.

So I crave other people's attention and sincere love.
