After going back that night, Gu Zhan didn't fall asleep in a daze.Zhou Muzhen's words made him very angry, no one really underestimated him, Gu Zhan, at such a young age.

Gu Zhan rolled left and right on the bed, making the bed creak.But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, the more he couldn't sleep.He simply lifted the quilt and sat up all at once.The curtains were jerked open.In an instant, light silver moonlight poured into Gu Zhan's room.

Sitting on the table next to the window, Gu Zhan slightly opened some windows.A cool night breeze blew in, but fortunately, he was hot all over because of his anger, and this cool breeze just calmed down some of his restless heart.Now it is the end of summer, although the weather is no longer hot, but there are still some cicadas who are greedy for the last remaining heat of summer and make slight calls.

Tonight's moon is very round, and there is a soft light around the moonlight.Gu Zhan stared blankly at the moon and some inconspicuous stars.For a moment, he wanted to step out the window, imagined wings sprouting from his back and soaring into the sky.He tried to let his bare feet out of the window a little, and a chill came up from the soles of his feet.After all, the temperature started to drop.

At this time, Gu Zhan heard the sound of the combination lock outside the house being unlocked.He guessed it was his mother who had returned.So, he closed the window carefully, crept back to the bed, and wrapped himself in the quilt carelessly.As he expected, the next second, his door was opened after two light knocks.

The tired Ms. Gu walked lightly to Gu Zhan's bedside.She brushed her hair that fell to her cheeks behind her ears, then sighed, helped Gu Zhan close the curtains and covered him with a quilt, and then went out.

Gu Zhan opened his eyes and looked under the door. The light in the living room was on.He vaguely heard his mother still on the phone, her tone was a bit unpleasant, but he couldn't hide the exhaustion in it.He roughly guessed who the person on the other end of the phone was. He was also a gentle man, but he was also someone he hated.

He will never understand why Ms. Gu still has contact with that person now, but Ms. Gu has never talked to him about it.To be honest, the probability of Gu Zhan meeting Ms. Gu has become smaller and smaller in recent years.Going home today is also the first time in a week, and he doesn't know how long this life will last.

But he believes that Ms. Gu can solve it.

I don't know why, after being covered by Ms. Gu's quilt, Gu Zhan actually felt sleepy for a while, and he fell into a deep sleep after a while.

A night without dreams.What woke him up was the alarm clock that would go off at the same time every day.At this time, Ms. Gu should have gone to work.

After Gu Zhan washed up, he saw a sandwich on the table in the living room. The bacon sandwiched in the sandwich was already burnt. It seemed that Ms. Gu made it in a panic.A smile hung on the corner of his mouth, he took a bite, the burnt part was slightly bitter, but it turned into a sweetness and flowed into Gu Zhan's stomach.

Turning his head, he picked up the group photo on the shoe cabinet at the door, silently said goodbye, and went to class.What awaits Gu Zhan today is not only a high school student's Nissan, but also a battle with Zhou Muzhen, and the classroom is their battlefield.There won't be any bloodbath, just a contest of pride and determination.
