[The summer solstice has not yet come] Carving time

<Thirteen>

When Gu Qiaochu returned to school, almost everyone could feel the difference in him no matter if he was familiar or not.

He cut a very short board, wore the uniform of Asakawa No. [-] Middle School, and appeared on the campus with a black schoolbag on his back.Along the way, he ignored the people who greeted him, and walked towards his classroom with a pale and indifferent face.

The students didn't know what Gu Qiaochu was doing during this time until they saw the black cloth tied around his arm.

After experiencing the accident, Gu Qiaochu obviously became very dull. He no longer has a faint smile on his face when he has nothing to do.

There are quite a few juniors from the student union who didn't dare to say hello to him after trying a few times.

Someone was discussing loudly in the classroom, "Senior Gu is so scary now, it's too cold!"

"That's right!" Her classmate echoed, as if she had witnessed what kind of cold-blooded thing Gu Qiaochu did, "Look at him, his chin is so thin that it's only been half a month!"

But when he thought about what happened, he just experienced an accident. From the gentle, decent, handsome and polite senior that his classmates had imagined at the beginning, he became a little indifferent.

Maybe it's closer to the real him.

During lunch time, he went to the school cafeteria. He bought two meals, and when he turned around and wanted to go back to the dormitory, he was stopped by Lu Zhiang.He looked at the time on his watch, motioned to walk and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Lu Zhiang started to follow up, pursed his lips and didn't know how to answer Yu Lai's question.His face was a little nervous, thinking that Yu Lai should be very clear about the reason he found, so why did he ask.

"When did you get along so well." Yu Lai smiled lightly, glanced at the obviously nervous boy beside him, and said with relief, "It's okay, he will be fine."

Lu Zhiang thought how could you make the decision so hastily, what if Gu Qiaochu did something bad.

Judging from this period of time, Lu Zhiang felt that he knew Gu Qiaochu better.

That person usually seems to be so big that no one can touch his bottom line, but at this time, he is often very sensitive and will explode.

He thought about it, but he didn't know who could provoke Gu Qiaochu who was like a rotating turret.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiang became even more panicked after this, he was afraid that Gu Qiaochu would do something impulsive that would hurt others and not benefit himself, so he could only rush to the cafeteria to block others in a panic.

But obviously, Yu Lai's words did not reassure him a bit.

The direct manifestation of this uneasiness is that Lu Zhiang can't sleep well in class.

Fu Xiaosi expressed his novelty in comparison, he hit Lu Zhiang's head with a book when the teacher turned around, "Sleep if you want to sleep, don't toss around if you don't sleep, disturbing people's study!"

Li Xia who was sitting in front sat up straight unconsciously when he heard it, and plucked his bangs uncomfortably.

Lu Zhiang twitched again, looking at his friend for many years with aggrieved eyes but couldn't say a word.

He didn't think anyone could make him say what was on his mind right now.

At that time, it seemed that some strange things had just sprouted. He was panicked, at a loss, worried about Gu Qiaochu and some things that he couldn't explain clearly. He didn't know whether to follow his own thoughts or stop these strange things. Something to eat his brain and heart.

Lixia was also worried about Gu Qiaochu.

This well-behaved girl has known Gu Qiaochu for many years, and the two families visited each other many times during the Chinese New Year. She could see Gu Qiaochu and Grandpa Gu playing chess together in the Gu family's big courtyard.

Li Xia knew how important Grandpa Gu was to Gu Qiaochu.

Grandpa Gu is the most important mentor in Gu Qiaochu's life for more than ten years. It can even be said that Gu Qiaochu can be as good as he is now, thanks to the teaching of Grandpa Gu.To a certain extent, even if there is a generation gap in between, to Gu Qiaochu, his grandfather is more important than his father.

During the long time when his parents were doing business abroad, it was the old man who taught him all the time.

After the afternoon class, Li Xia packed up his books and wanted to go to Gu Qiaochu.She stood up and thought for a while, turned her head and knocked on Lu Zhiang's desk, blinked and said, "Lu Zhiang, let's go find the senior for dinner together!"

"Ah?" Lu Zhiang was stunned for a moment, quickly got up and stuffed the books on the table into the desk pocket, and repeatedly agreed, "Okay, okay!"

The two hit it off immediately, took Fu Xiaosi and called Cheng Qiqi and rushed to Gu Qiaochu's classroom.

For the rest of these two days, they were almost inseparable with Gu Qiaochu, so the six of them went to play outside the school together.

Gu Qiaochu was sitting with Yu Lai and Li Xia at the same time, he was quite at ease, eating on his own with a plate inch that later girls called the standard for testing the true appearance, and even had a cautious mind. Protect clothing from soiling.

Unfortunately, the other few people obviously felt strange, looking at each other, not daring to chat, not daring to breathe.

Sitting opposite Gu Qiaochu, Lu Zhiang didn't know whether it was a nervous system or something (Yu Laiyu), he kept casting resentful looks at Gu Qiaochu like a wronged child.

His good friend Fu Xiaosi was so shocked by this look that he didn't dare to speak, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he might be a little annoyed at not taking the seat next to Gu Qiaochu.

After all, he has been so worried about Gu Qiaochu during this time.

But looking left and right, it seems that it is inappropriate for Yu Lai and Li Xia to mention anyone.

To put it aside, Gu Qiaochu is afraid that he will lose his composure when he is stared at by the laser-like eyes.

But this time was different, no one knew whether he didn't care about the outside world at all or he clearly felt it but didn't speak, he just didn't even look at Lu Zhiang from the beginning to the end.

This was Lu Zhiang's entire freshman year, the last meal he and Gu Qiaochu had together.

After that, the children in the first year of high school never found a reason to go to Gu Qiaochu for dinner.

Although they still nodded when they met on the road, they never walked a certain distance together talking and laughing like they did during the winter vacation.

Everyone knows that Gu Qiaochu has changed.

Yu Lai also knew, but he wouldn't say a single word to Gu Qiaochu.He knew Gu Qiaochu's character. At this moment, what he was most afraid of was Gu Qiaochu causing trouble.

Anyone who looked at Gu Qiaochu at this time was completely indifferent, and no one would have thought that Gu Qiaochu might cause trouble.

But Yu Lai knew that people like Gu Qiaochu had endured it for a long time, and once a point was reached, anyone who touched it might explode.

Like Lu Zhiang, he was worried that Gu Qiaochu would cause trouble, but what he was most worried about was that he would hurt himself.

But as the saying goes, you can come to whatever you are afraid of.

Yu Lai didn't expect to see no one for several hours, something happened to Gu Qiaochu.

Yu Lai rushed to the hospital and asked Gu Qiaochu's ward number. He ran all the way up, but he didn't expect to see a man in a formal suit sitting in front of the bed just after pushing the door a little.

He stopped and stood at the door with a wooden face, but he didn't go in, nor turned around to leave.

He remembered that person, Lin An, a lawyer from Gu Qiaochu's mother's office.

He stood at the door, looked at Gu Qiaochu who was sitting on the hospital bed, raised his eyes coldly, and said coldly, "Let's sue for intentional injury, blackmail in school, and damage to reputation."

"Anyway, he won't be able to pass the university entrance examination with his appearance, so it's better to stay inside, which can be regarded as lightening the burden on his family."

Lin An was memorizing something in his notebook. Hearing this sentence, he paused and looked at Gu Qiaochu, "Where's your partner?"

"Hmm..." Gu Qiaochu murmured inexplicably. He thought for a while, then raised the corner of his lips, "Lawyer Lin can figure it out, just don't let them hurt other students at school."

It sounds like a warm and caring words.

Yu Lai turned around and went to the lobby to buy a can of coffee. After drinking it, he sat for a while. He didn't straighten his clothes until he watched Lin An leave, and entered Gu Qiaochu's ward.

"At the beginning of the bridge."

"Why did you just come in now?" Gu Qiaochu looked at Yu Lai and smiled in a blink of an eye, "Didn't you just arrive?"

"Didn't you see that you were talking to the lawyer?" Yu Lai also smiled, he sat on the chair that Lin An sat on not long ago, clasped his hands inexplicably nervous, "Qiaochu...they... "

"You think I've done it too well." Gu Qiaochu lowered his eyes, suddenly looking a little lonely, "Yu Lai, I'm not such a kind person, you should know."

"Aren't you okay? The college entrance examination is their last chance! You know everything about their family... This is their last chance."

"But for the rest of the day, that's not why they're trash."

When Gu Qiaochu raised his eyes to look at Yu Lai, Yu Lai would never forget that look in his life, the indifferent and painful look in his eyes, at that time he almost thought that this was probably the end of his friendship with Gu Qiaochu .

"I've endured it for too long, Yu Lai. But it seems that the more I endure with them, the more they think I'm afraid."

Gu Qiaochu closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to talk anymore.

He heard Yu Lai let out a long sigh, and finally got up and closed the door to leave without even looking at Yu Lai again.

Gu Qiaochu was really annoyed.

The gangsters in the third year of high school made trouble for him every now and then, but this time it was Lu Zhiang who made him make up his mind not to give in.

He didn't expect that the daily communication or interaction with Lu Zhiang in the past would be seen by some girls and become ambiguous gestures and words, passed to some people's ears, even if it was just a daily pastime, it would always become extraordinarily dirty .

But Gu Qiaochu knew that he could not take the initiative to cause trouble.

So he just smiled mockingly at the contemptuous and sinister eyes of the other party, "What's wrong with a person like me."

"For people like me, you only have the opportunity to deal with me in school. People like me are very busy, busy to reach a height that no matter how hard you try in your life, you can't climb it."

"That's my kind of person."
