Rebel

At lunch that day, Gu Ao didn't answer Yun Ang's question after all, and finally felt a little unhappy.Gu Ao just tidied up his bowls and chopsticks respectfully, put them in a food box and handed them to Yun Ang: "Thank you, Mr. Yun, for your trouble today."

Yunhang snorted lightly: "What are you bothering about? Clamshell mouth!"

Gu Ao said: "Clam Kezui also ate the food you brought, I still have to thank you."

Yun Ang pouted and looked at Gu Ao, then said to Huai Xin: "I'm leaving!"

"... Let's go..." Huai Xin whispered softly.

Yun Ying's figure disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest, Gu Ao couldn't help leaning closer to Huai Xin and asked, "Did I offend Mr. Yun today?"

Huai Xin looked at Gu Ao calmly, "What do you think?"

Gu Ao said sadly: "I'm afraid I've offended him... Sigh..."

Huai Xin spread the book out and said leisurely, "Don't sigh, the best show is yet to come."

Gu Ao frowned: "...what do you mean?"

It was only then that Huai Xin revealed an imperceptible smile, and that light smile made his face even more like a thin sheet of paper: "...a fool who has not yet opened his heart."

Seeing that Huai Xin made fun of him, Gu Ao stopped talking to Huai Xin and started reading by himself.Huai Xin peeked at Gu Ao secretly through the gaps in the bamboo slips, seeing that he also had annoyance on his face, she quietly moved her eyes away, thinking: "I used to be alone, since Brother Gu came, it has brought me a lot of fun. "

After reading the book that day, and at sunset, Gu Ao and Huai Xin bid farewell at the fork in the path outside the bamboo forest.Back at the house, Gu Ao saw Tian Rong was still lying on the bed, so he ignored Tian Rong, put the books away, went out and took the pole and bucket in the corner, and went down the mountain to fetch water.

The soreness on his legs from yesterday hadn't completely disappeared, so Gu Ao walked a bit slower today.When carrying water up the mountain, Gu Ao was ready to be laughed at by others, but when he reached the water fetching place halfway up the mountain, Gu Ao was startled by the sight in front of him.

What Gu Ao didn't expect was that in the twilight, the sparse crowd that used to be scattered around the water intake disappeared, leaving a large open space in front.Yun Ang was standing in the middle of his clothes with fluttering sash, as if he was waiting for him; and there was already a circle of young masters watching the excitement around him.

As soon as Yun Ang saw Gu Ao, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Chef Ding can know the world by dispelling cattle; Lao Tzu can use 'cooking small fresh food' as a metaphor for 'governing a big country'; brother Gu who carries water, can he know the world's affairs?"

Looking at Yun Ang, Gu Ao couldn't help but pause, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Why is Mr. Yun here?"

Seeing that Gu Ao was sweating profusely and talking to him out of breath, Yun Ang stepped forward and took out his handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe Gu Ao's sweat.Gu Ao hurriedly took a step back, and said, "The place where the water is carried is not clean, are you afraid it will get dirty?"

"Don't be afraid." Yun Yang took two steps forward with a handkerchief in his hands, and said calmly.

It was the first time that Gu Ao was so close to Yunying, smelling the fragrance in his sleeves, he couldn't help turning his eyes away.Yun Ang didn't realize it, and still wiped Gu Ao carefully.Gu Ao was stared at by many young masters like fighting cocks, and blushed for a moment.Fortunately, he was already profusely sweating, his face was flushed with blood, and he couldn't see clearly even in the twilight.

Here Gu Ao is shy and uncomfortable, but Yun Ang feels at ease as usual.He wiped off Gu Ao's sweat slowly, and then pretended to be relaxed and suggested: "Brother Gu, let me go back with you."

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding young masters couldn't help but gasped.

Gu Ao nodded and said, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Gu Ao carried the water and walked forward, Yun Ang walked to Gu Ao's side without paying attention to the eyes around him, and walked side by side with him.Whispering voices sounded from the side, and the corners of Yun's lips curled coldly.

The reason why he came to see Gu Ao today, Yun Ang himself knew.Yunxi realized that at noon, he lost his composure.Since Gu Ao has something he doesn't want to say, he shouldn't force Gu Ao to tell him.But after all, Gu Ao didn't say anything, and he became angry, and he didn't give Gu Ao a good face in the end.

"I'm not such a stingy person." Yun Ang thought so, and in the evening, he thought of coming to the water fetching place to wait for Gu Ao.

In fact, the reason for being close to Gu Ao is also clear to Yun Ang himself.

When I met Gu Ao for the first time in a bamboo forest, I saw that although the young man in front of me was dressed in shabby clothes...but the brilliance in his black eyes made Yunying feel a fresh air rushing towards his face...that kind of simplicity How long has it been since I saw Lu Zhi's rhyme?

In the memories of his youth, there are always all kinds of coveting, greedy, and infatuated eyes, which annoy Yunhang; but this time, this boy named Gu Ao makes him feel comfortable instinctively.

Maybe it has something to do with his childhood experience, Yunhang felt that every time he saw the so-called "family son" who was pretending, he felt impatient.Those encounters in his childhood made him know the most about the dirty things hidden in those families who gained power...

He still clearly remembers that the world changed at that time, and he followed his father, Shan Yunzi, to stick to the academy... He saw and remembered clearly the generals who led the soldiers who surrounded the academy, and they came here to study in the future, saying What kind of aristocratic family admires the academy's knowledge, they are obviously the same group of people!

These people are the most unreasonable and have done the most shameful things in the world, but they still pretend to be polite and elegant on weekdays. Yun Xi on one side almost gagged.

If it weren't for these aristocratic families taking advantage of King Qin's military siege to threaten Shanyun Academy, why would Shanyun Academy lose the opportunity to choose their own students?In today's Shanyun Academy, as long as you are a son of an aristocratic family, you can enroll at will!

After this battle, the centuries-renowned Shanyun Academy is now in such a mess... The place of pure cultivation passed down by his father and even his master and ancestors has become a gate for the powerful.

At that time, the agreement was that "everyone from the aristocratic family can enter Shanyun Academy" in exchange for "King Qin's withdrawal of troops", but my father had to compromise.

Although it was true that these aristocratic families put pressure on the King of Qin afterwards, their nature of taking advantage of others' dangers was firmly in Yunyang's mind.

Seeing Gu Ao now, Yun Ang felt that Gu Ao was too different from them.Even Gu Ao is different from Huai Xin who he thinks is 'a good person'.

——Gu Ao's body is not stained with the habits of the children of the aristocratic family at all, it is clean.

They fight cocks and horses, Gu Ao concentrates on learning;

They are hypocritical and polite, simple and straightforward.

Gu Ao reprimanded them in awe-inspiring manner.

Although Gu Ao has no titles and positions, and is a commoner, Yun Ang feels that Gu Ao is much better than them.Originally, there were people of the same age in the academy, and the only one who could talk to was Huai Xin, but a geek was a geek after all, and he was a little different from ordinary people.Now that Gu Ao came, Yun Ang felt even closer.So at noon today, he pestered Gu Ao to talk, but Gu Ao didn't appreciate it, although he was polite, he still didn't answer.

Yunhang was angry at first, but when he returned to the dormitory, he thought again: "If he is like those people, if he is like those people, they will do whatever I say, and he looks like he is flattering, then he is not the Gu Ao I admire. !"

At this time, he saw Gu Ao carrying water, his breathing seemed to be suppressed, but he felt a little heavy in the quiet night, Yun Ying couldn't help lowering his voice, and asked Gu Ao, "Are you tired?"

Gu Ao glanced at Yun Ang and said with a smile, "I'm not tired."

Seeing Gu Ao looking at him with frank and upright eyes, Yunying liked it more and more in his heart.

He felt that compared with those aristocratic families, Gu Ao was like heaven and earth.Those sons of aristocratic families are courting themselves all day long, and they don't know where they learned such things as "the addiction of broken sleeves" and "the goodness of Longyang".I didn't see them caring about national affairs, but I came here every day to beg myself to become 'brothers' with them.Although among the literati, "broken sleeves" is an elegant thing caused by aristocratic fashion, and even the emperors of these dynasties have some inner decorations that shine in the annals of history, but Yunhang always instinctively dislikes them.

Thinking of this, Yun Ang sneered inwardly, and suddenly felt that the so-called "gold and jade on the outside and the inside on the inside" was only used to describe those young masters in fine clothes...they were absolutely absurd.Why do you take yourself as the goal to pursue?Looking at Gu Ao in a blink of an eye, although the clothes are simple and not gorgeous, and the sweat is not elegant, but the simple feeling is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.

"Today's noon, I was wrong, I hope brother Gu don't mind." Yun Ying bit her lip and said softly.

Gu Ao laughed when he heard the words: "I am so polite, but I did something wrong, should I apologize to you?"

"Then what do you think is wrong with you?" Yun Ang laughed.

Gu Ao said: "I shouldn't tell the truth. You asked me why I carried water. I said it was for strengthening my body, but that's not the case. In fact, I had no choice but to do it because I didn't have much money."

Yun Ang was taken aback for a moment, as if he heard Fang Waizhi's voice, he said in a bit of astonishment: "...Don't you have any money?"

Gu Ao smiled wryly: "I shouldn't have told you this, you should forget about it."

Yun Ang has dealt with the family since he was a child, and has never encountered such a bizarre thing-"no money".

Upon hearing this, Yun Ang felt ashamed: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have chased after you... and asked about your family..."

Gu Ao was also a little embarrassed, so he fell silent.

Seeing that Gu Ao didn't say a word, Yun Ang said in a flustered voice, "...I've already said that I'm wrong..."

"...It's okay." Gu Ao smiled, "...I don't care about it, because I think it's okay for a hero not to ask the source, let alone me. Please don't care about it, Mr. Yun."

Yun Ang regretted his previous faux pas very much, and said, "Well, I know."

Gu Ao smiled and nodded: "Then I'll go back first."

"and many more……"

Gu Ao said: "What's wrong?"

"Are you going to the bamboo forest tomorrow?" Yun Ang asked.

Gu Ao nodded.

Yun Ang smiled: "I will come to deliver food."

"Thank you."

Seeing Gu Ao carrying the water away, Yunying suddenly felt a soreness in his chest for some reason... It was a kind of heartwarming feeling, Yunying had never felt this kind of feeling before... Immersed in it, Yunying Looking at the place where Gu Ao disappeared, he stood for a long time.
