Restlessness

Xu Yue has never been like Li Ranran and Zhou Hui. Just 10 minutes after the start of each class, he began to secretly pinch his phone one after another, and looked down at the time on the screen every few minutes until there was still time left before the end of get out of class. Started restless at 6 or [-] minutes.

Gu Yuan was the same as him, whether they were sleeping on their stomachs or playing mobile games in their desk pockets with their eyes downcast, they never felt that time could be as difficult as it is now.

Because of the company of Gu Yuan, Li Ranran and Zhou Hui, Xu Yue was not as depressed as he imagined. In just two weeks, he was able to devote himself to the comprehensive review in the second half of the second semester of high school with great energy, regardless of the previous suspicions.Although Gu Yuan was a little surprised, he still took the time to move his freshman textbook and exercise book to their dormitory without saying a word.

Also surprised were all the substitute teachers in class A, even Li Ye who had prepared a few mental health education classes for Xu Yue, when she saw the tall, thin boy standing in her office and said

"Teacher, can we pretend that these things never happened?"

At that moment, Li Ye suddenly realized that the boy in front of him who had just passed his birthday had matured beyond the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Growing up is no longer a process, it has always been just a moment.

Xu Yue's conversations with others gradually became less and less, and the simplest low-pitched response eventually turned into a slight nod, and the brother group in 207 dormitory gradually became three people talking and one person listening.Gu Yuan felt uncomfortable in his heart, and some words were filled with bitterness, but in the end they just returned to the dust in silence.

He said in his heart that no matter what, he couldn't collapse before Xu Yue.

Gu Yuan naturally became the last straw in Xu Yue's life.

Xu was thinking too seriously, Gu Yuan didn't hear Xu Yue whispering his name in his ear, until the pair of white and slender hands with well-defined knuckles appeared in front of his eyes.

"Gu Yuan?" Xu Yue held the phone, poked his fingertips on the screen a few times before turning his head, "Headache?"

"Ah?" Gu Yuan paused, "Ah. No, I was distracted just now... Which question are we talking about?"

"This is, the answer." Xu Yue nodded slightly, and pushed the paper filled with the entire math problem-solving process, "And the problem-solving process."

Gu Yuan still wanted to say something, but he could only pinch the pen and turn it a few times, and fill in the final answer in the empty horizontal line.

Xu Yue still twitched the corner of his mouth, and turned his eyes back to his book, but Gu Yuan turned his head and looked out the window with red eyes.

Obviously he has never participated in Xu Yue's entire life before, but he has a deeper understanding than anyone else.

On both sides of the tree-lined road, a whole piece of fresh green emerged, and fallen leaves were rarely seen on both sides of the uneven concrete road. It also couldn’t penetrate the dense layer of leaves, and that road became the only salvation in the middle school that would not be exposed to the scorching sun in summer.

A few days ago, during the weekend, Xu Yue randomly found a barber shop behind the alley next to the attached middle school, cut his hair a lot shorter, and looked more energetic than before.When Gu Yuan asked about it, he just said that it was too hot in summer.

Sometimes Gu Yuan felt that Xu Yue had learned to deceive himself and others.

Whenever Xu Yue took advantage of the dark night to get his eyes red, he would close his eyes, and when he opened them again, only the endless coldness and indifference remained in his eyes.I don't know when it started, Gu Yuan also learned to pretend to be asleep, breathing steadily, eyes slightly squinted, seeing Xu Yue's pain and struggle in the dark, but this desperate breath disappeared without a trace in the daytime.

Even when she opened her eyes, Xu Yue said softly, "Are you awake?"

The sunlight outside the classroom was very bright, and the mechanically running electric fans above looked a bit out of place. After complaints from students and parents, the school finally decided to install vertical air conditioners in each classroom.

There are not too many boys in class A, so the project of moving the air conditioner to the classroom falls entirely on Xu Yue, Gu Yuan and a few other students who are slightly shorter.

"Why don't I go? You're wearing white short-sleeves today." Gu Yuan patted Xu Yue's shoulder, "Besides, it's too hot, so it won't be good if you suffer from heatstroke."

"It's okay." Xu Yue rolled up all his half sleeves and stuck them on his shoulders. The short sleeves that looked good and refreshing turned into a vest that was down-to-earth in an instant. He looked up at Gu Yuan, "Let's go."

Li Ranran's eyes were sharp, and he saw Gu Yuan and Xu Yue from a long distance away. He yelled a few times and rushed out from the front door of Class 1, and jumped down the stairs.

"Are you going to move the air conditioner at the school gate?" Li Ranran exhaled, and threw the Coke in Gu Yuan's hand, "How about I go with you, it's really heavy... we The four boys in the class are struggling to move it, why do you think we have to move it ourselves, can’t we let the master who specializes in installing air conditioners move it to the class? By the way, install it directly.”

Li Ranran glanced at the other two shorter boys standing behind Gu Yuan, and dragged Xu Yue closer to Gu Yuan's ear.

"Li Ye just looked for the two short guys behind you? Where are the other boys?"

"You are not much higher than others, and you are still mocking them? What's more, those two won prizes in the school sports meeting." Gu Yuan gave Li Ranran an angry look. The illusion caused by putting his mind on Li Ranran, or because that guy worked hard on his own diet, for a moment Gu Yuan felt that Li Ranran was much thinner than before. "Are you losing weight?"

"Yes! I just measured it this morning, and I lost 10 catties! The main reason is that it's too hot at noon in summer, and I can't eat anything at all. I only rely on fruits and mineral water to maintain my life every day." Li Ranran smiled, very Quickly pushed Gu Yuan and Xu Yue out of the teaching area and moved towards the school gate.

On the way back, Xu Yue focused all his attention on his shoulders. Out of curiosity and maybe because he wanted more responses, Li Ranran kept chattering along the way, from writing to the last few pages of the exercise book. How beautiful is the new anime released last night.Occasionally, he would jump up and down excitedly, and the weight of the entire rectangular box suddenly fell on Xu Yue who was walking at the back.

"Can you shut up and walk properly?" Gu Yuan squinted at Li Ranran, and took the heavy object from his shoulders to his side, but was dragged back suddenly.

Gu Yuan couldn't help but stop.

"Don't move." The short white sleeves on Xu Yue's shoulders kept rubbing against the dusty box, and he glanced at Gu Yuan expressionlessly. "Li Ranran give this shirt to Gu Yuan."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yue pulled out a hand and threw the white and gray shirt tied around his waist to Li Ranran who was standing in the middle.

"The bottom of this box is very dirty. You can put your shirt on your shoulders to block it a little."

"You're wearing white." Gu Yuan froze for a moment, then took the thin shirt that Li Ranran handed over.

"Don't talk nonsense, my clothes are already dirty, it doesn't matter." Xu Yue said again.

"Don't, don't, or you should dress yourself..."

"..."

After going back and forth, Gu Yuan was finally frightened by Xu Yue's slightly impatient eyes, and directly put the thin shirt on the shoulder that was carrying the heavy load.The atmosphere that had just been forcibly mobilized by a few people went blank for a few seconds, and finally dropped back to freezing point. Li Ranran had no choice but to shake his head at Gu Yuan helplessly while Xu Yue was not paying attention.

So that later Li Ranran could only find Gu Yuan to come out and say, "It's useless for us to drag him, we still have to rely on him to get out."

Gu Yuan listened carefully, no longer distracted by other concerns.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Gu Yuan didn't want to let go of his hand.

In the past, Gu Yuan thought that time passed by every minute and every second, day and night, one day, one month, and another year, the time displayed on the phone screen represented the passage of life, but now, he suddenly realized that time is actually very fast , so fast that before he could catch up with Xu Yue, it seemed as if he had come to an end.

All the new high school courses finally came to a successful conclusion on Wednesday afternoon, and what is about to usher in is one endless comprehensive review after another.Liberal arts is no better than science, except what is printed in textbooks, or what the teacher mentioned in class... These things are only a drop in the bucket for all liberal arts students, and a lot of reading has become an indispensable item for liberal arts students.

Lao Yang retrieved the midterm and final exam papers that Xu Yue missed for the first two semesters of high school, printed two copies separately, and entrusted Zhou Hui to hand them over to Xu Yue.

"Lao Yang said that these two papers are the math papers for the first year of high school in our school. Let me give them to you." Zhou Hui held a blue doll keychain in his hand, and shook it in Xu Yue's eyes from time to time, "Xu Yue , Look, look, Brother Yuan liked this series of dolls very much before, this time this is a limited edition, tell him when he returns to the classroom, tell him to buy it quickly, otherwise it will be sold out by then. I didn't warn him sooner."

"Understood." Xu Yue took a few long scrolls that were brand new and blank without even creases, and looked up at the back door of the classroom, "Why don't you buy it for him?"

"You think I don't want to, this thing is limited, everyone can only buy one at most! Damn." Zhou Hui lowered his head regretfully, and looked around the classroom again after a few seconds, "So why did Brother Yuan go? When I was looking for him for something serious, he disappeared."

serious……

Xu Yue didn't realize how serious this matter was, it was just a keychain.

"I don't know, I either went to the toilet, or I was called to the office by Lao Yang." Li Ranran answered Zhou Hui's question in seconds, "Maybe Lao Yang had a convulsion and asked Gu Yuan and Xu Yue to rewrite the math papers of the first year of high school together. It’s not impossible to do it again.”

"Oh." Xu Yue froze for a moment, took out a gel pen from his school bag, and shifted his gaze to the multiple choice questions in the first part of the paper.

Knowing that he was bored, Zhou Hui pouted at Li Ranran and was about to turn around and go back to class 1, but Xu Yue grabbed his arm the moment he stepped forward.

"Hey, wait. Then... where can I buy that keychain?"

Xu Yue came back from off-campus just in time for the bell to start the evening self-study of the first quarter. Through the glass window in the corridor, Xu Yue, who was standing at the stairs, saw the tall black figure in the last row of Class A at a glance. Sticking it on the table for two, lowering the head and holding the pen, not knowing what is written on the paper.

Until he stood in the aisle, Gu Yuan still didn't lift his head.

"Hello." Xu Yue gave Gu Yuan a push, and forcefully pushed him back on the stool, "When writing, keep your head away from the table, so as to block the light and waste your eyes."

"Xu Yue! You're back." Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly stuffed the messy draft paper on the table back into his desk pocket, got up and brought Xu Yue to his place, " I went to ask Lao Yang a few questions in the afternoon, look, the penultimate question is the one you left blank, I just asked, do you want me to explain it to you?"

"The empty one..." Xu Yue glanced down at her paper.

It was obviously a big question for which time was tight and he didn't have time to write the answer, but Gu Yuan thought he didn't know it, and even went to the teacher because of it.

have to.

Xu Yue knows how to do it, but this time he has to pretend he can't.

"Okay, if you know this question, then tell me." Xu Yue couldn't help laughing.

This is the first time he has shown such an undisguised smile since half a month.Even though the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, Gu Yuan was more excited than anyone else.

He tore two blank pages of homework paper from the back of his geography homework book, and spread them evenly on Xu Yue's roll.

"Look, this, this... Lao Yang said that this type of question is the best value for trigonometry. First use that... the same angle..." Gu Yuan blinked his eyes, and couldn't help touching it with his index finger. Touch your chin.

"The square relationship of trigonometric functions of the same angle." Xu Yue said.

"Ah yes, that's it!! Then you can turn this function into a quadratic function, and combine it with the properties of the cosine function to find it." Gu Yuan picked up a pen and displayed the process step by step, and finally calculated the answer . "So, do you know this question?"

Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, shook his head slightly, and took another blank paper to write down the steps that Gu Yuan had just mentioned one by one, and the few steps that could be omitted were completely presented in front of the two of them.

"Mr. Gu, do you think I solved this problem correctly?" Xu Yue put down his pen, his hands naturally dropped to his legs, and suddenly touched the bulging thing in his left trouser pocket. "Almost forgot, I have something for you."

Gu Yuan stared at Xu Yue's problem-solving steps without squinting, "What?"

"Give."

"Keychain?! Isn't this?!" Gu Yuan's eyes widened in an instant. Due to the many classmates around him, he had to cough a few times and snatched the limited edition doll keychain from Xu Yue. "Aren't you naive? You're already an adult and you still buy these things... So you weren't in the classroom before evening self-study, and that's why you went there?"

"Otherwise?" Xu Yue flicked his wrist, "If you don't like it, give it back to me."

"No, you said it was given to me. Even if I don't like it, I have to keep it." Gu Yuan grabbed the phone and stuffed the keychain tightly in his hand into his pocket, "Then what... Ouch...I, my stomach hurts suddenly, I'll go to the bathroom and I'll be right back! Wait for me."

Without waiting for Xu Yue to give a response, Gu Yuan rushed out of the back door of the Class A classroom. At the corner of the corridor of the second grade classroom with few people and dark lights, he suddenly stopped and looked around, holding the keychain in his pocket between his fingers After shaking it a few times, I finally couldn't help but smile with canine teeth on both sides.

Xu Yue glanced in the direction where Gu Yuan ran away just now.

"The tongue is not the heart."
