Gu Pei reborn

The temperature plummeted, and the few remaining yellow leaves on the tree also fell down. The lonely branches were soaked by the winter rain that lasted for a week, like old people in their twilight years.

There are only a few days left before the final exam, but Gu Pei doesn't have the heart to study hard.The sound of flipping books and small discussions in the classroom is like the chirping of insects in hot summer, which makes people feel dizzy and upset.

Turning his head slightly sideways, Gu Pei could still see the faint blue color on Dong Jing's face even with the corner of his eyes.

"Argued with your Cinderella?" Lin Shaojun's tone was a little gloating.

"No." Gu Pei replied lightly, with some worry on his brows.Different from the low self-esteem and cowardice in the past, Dong Jing now is more like a walking dead, silent all day long, even when the teacher rolls her name, she just stands up silently.It's not that she didn't talk to her, but no matter what Gu Pei said, she just looked at Gu Pei with those empty eyes, and when she was in a hurry, she burst into tears.Gu Pei looked so depressed.So Gu Pei didn't bother to ask any more, but every time he saw her, Gu Pei was still unconsciously worried.

"Then why don't you go comfort her?" Lin Shaojun cast a sidelong glance at Gu Pei, "The final exam is coming, don't let your Cinderella take the last exam because of emotional problems."

Gu Pei didn't speak, he and Dong Jing had nothing to do, it's just that these people didn't believe it.If it was really a relationship problem, he wouldn't be so irritable.

"Hmph!" Seeing that Gu Pei didn't speak, Lin Shaojun snorted coldly, his eyes darkened, and the tip of his pen drew heavy lines across the notebook.

On the last weekend before the exam, Gu Pei also stayed at home to study hard.

As early as a month ago, a return air stove had been fired at home. Gu Pei lay on the red lacquered stove, feeling the warm heat from the coal fire spreading from his palms to his whole body, and felt a little more relaxed.During this period of time, everything was fine, nothing happened at home, and it turned out that there was nothing wrong with his father's work; Chen Yan's newspapers were also selling well. When I saw him before, his whole face was full of brilliance.Except for Dong Jing...

Gu Pei sighed, put down the pen in his hand, raised his head to look at the trembling water droplets condensed on the window, and his mood drifted far away.

"finished?"

"Huh? No." Gu Pei turned to look at his mother, withdrew his thoughts and continued writing the question.

"Don't be half-hearted before the exam! Don't blame me if you can't pass the No. 1 exam!" Gu Ma said while putting away the hanger.

"Yeah." Gu Pei nodded helplessly.Gone are the days when you could make your mother happy just by not finishing in the bottom five.

"Xiaocheng is also in the first year of junior high school, you can't lower the exam than him."

"Huh?" After hearing what his mother said, Gu Pei frowned, "Do you want to go back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year this year?" Xiaocheng is a child of the second uncle's family in his hometown. I remember that the relationship between my family and the relatives in my hometown is very bad, and they basically don't spend the New Year together. passed.

"...Well." After hearing Gu Pei's question, Gu Ma paused, and then said slowly, "Your grandma asked us to go back this year."

Gu Pei's frown deepened.In his memory, the grandma didn't want to see them at all.He didn't forget that his parents were "banished" by his grandmother when they came here. Although he knew the reason after living for 30 years in his previous life, his dissatisfaction with his grandmother still hasn't disappeared.

Gu's father is not actually a child of the Gu family. He is the child of his grandma's sister. He was raised in the Gu family only because his biological parents died young. "I moved to my hometown, and my mother only gradually met after my father was begging for life in the city.Gu Pei remembered that in her previous life, her mother still complained in front of her that her grandma didn't give her a good face when she just got married and followed her father back to her hometown.

"Okay, don't worry about these things, just study hard and give me a hard time." As if realizing that this topic is unpleasant, Mama Gu didn't intend to continue talking.

"Yeah." Gu Pei nodded and said nothing.It's just that I can't focus on my homework anymore.

In the afternoon, after Gu Pei repeatedly assured that he had no problem in the exam, Gu Ma finally agreed to let him go out for a stroll.

After leaving the corridor, Gu Pei immediately felt a penetrating chill penetrate into his skin through the clothes, his body trembled, and Gu Pei subconsciously tightened his collar.

It's just that the people in Area A don't seem to be paying attention to the cold. In this scorching winter, they must be busy with their livelihoods.But even though there are bustling crowds on the street, there is a lot less noise. The gray streets and gray houses even have dull expressions. Everyone tucks their heads into their collars, and you can't see anything except indifferent eyes.Looking at all this, the emotions of decline and desolation arise spontaneously.Gu Pei suddenly regretted staying away from that warm little home. In such an atmosphere, even if the air is clear, it still can't make people's heads clear.

Gu Pei walked aimlessly for a while. If someone hadn't called him, he would have been ready to go home.The person who called him was Dong Jing, Gu Pei was a little surprised, he thought that after what he had witnessed, she would not want to talk to him anymore.

Dong Jing haggarded a lot, and her right cheek was still bruised. Gu Pei was not surprised. He saw the woman scratching it with her nails, and Dong Jing returned two handfuls of hair from the woman.Gu Pei never thought that Dong Jing would be so brave. He can still clearly remember the distorted appearance of the woman after Dong Jing pulled her hair. At that time, Dong Jing had a calm face, even though her face The bleeding didn't make her frown.

The woman said she was an unfilial daughter.So Gu Pei stopped after taking two steps.Dong Jing at that moment made people feel a little chilled.

Looking at Dong Jing whose lips were shaking in the cold wind, Gu Pei didn't know what to say.

"I was kicked out by that woman." Dong Jing looked at Gu Pei and said slowly, "I want to borrow some money."

Gu Pei didn't speak, he looked at Dong Jing with a slight mocking hatred on his face, he felt strange, she was no longer that timid girl.Sighing inwardly, Gu Pei took out a few dollars from his pocket: "This is all I have."

"Thank you." Dong Jing nodded and took it. Looking at Gu Pei, she paused and said, "Then I'll go first."

"... Go and apologize to your mother." Looking at the thin body even wrapped in cotton clothes, Gu Pei spoke slowly.

"Heh..." Dong Jing stopped, turned her head and twitched the corners of her mouth, as if Gu Pei was saying something funny.

Gu Pei pursed his lips. He didn't know what happened to Dong Jing and his mother, but it was not as simple as Gu Pei thought to make Dong Jing, who had always been timid, into what he is now.But how should she live without her parents now?

Walking among the crowd, Gu Pei suddenly stopped. In her previous life, Dong Jing didn't seem to take the final exam, but in the second semester, she "transferred"...
