298 Who did you pick up?
Gu Xingjian suddenly regretted why he easily gave up the top 20 grades in the whole grade and let himself slide all the way to the edge of the top 100 in the grade.
The top 100 and the top 20, that's not the same thing.
And the top 20 and top 10 are another barrier that is difficult to cross.
Gu Xingjian suddenly realized how powerful his brothers were.
Neither of them has ever fallen out of the top 10 in their grade since they were young...... Are they human?
He was already as tired as a dog in order to get into the top 20 that year.
Gu Xingjian shook off the hand of the student council president who imprisoned him and strode towards the playground.
He saw the girl back in his class, sitting on the floor, talking and laughing with the girls.
Even when she is surrounded by a large number of flower-like girls, she still stands out from the crowd and shines, so that people can notice her at a glance.
Gu Xingjian wanted to go over and ask her a word.
But the girls formed a barrier, and no boy was able to cross this line of defense made up of girls and reach the girl without any problems.
So Gu Xingjian retreated.
He kept that sentence and turned away.
Since then, he has never seen the girl again.
ββ
In fact, it's not that he can't ask others about this girl, but because it took him a whole year in his senior year of high school to catch up with his grades, and he only climbed to the top 50 in the whole grade, so he didn't have the face to ask about the girl at all.
Even if he did, would he be able to go to her?
He didn't fit her dating standards at all.
Later, he graduated from high school and was admitted to a prestigious local university, but he did not go because his parents arranged for him to go abroad.
That's another four years.
After he came back, his classmates had already gone their separate ways, and he couldn't find the contact information of his acquaintances.
So the girl's matter was put on hold.
Over the years, he has not forgotten that girl for a moment.
He kept wondering how she was doing, whether she had been admitted to her ideal university and whether she had found a job she liked......
Does she ...... Met her?
Is she still single? Does he still have a chance?
Does she remember him?
She must not have remembered him...... But it doesn't matter.
He remembers her, as long as he remembers her.
This fate, Gu Xingjian never believed that the fate between him and the girl had been severed.
As long as he remembers, there will always be a thread between them, and fate will not really die.
One day, he would meet her again.
When this time is over, he will calm down and look for her.
Now she will definitely not use the top ten in her grade as the standard for making friends.
But he believes that his current self will not disgrace her.

The second elder and Gu Xingjian were waiting for the arrival of Chu Yunji and Shen Xiao in the living room together.
Since his grandparents didn't care about him, Gu Xingjian was crooked on the sofa thinking about everything, and his thoughts had already drifted to nowhere, and he didn't care about any movement outside the door.
When Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu stood up, Gu Xingjian was still immersed in his own memories and couldn't extricate himself, completely unaware that the person they were waiting for had arrived.
"Xiaoxiao!"
Old Madam Gu took two steps and stepped forward to hold Shen Xiao's hand: "Xiaoxiao, you are here." Heck, look at this, you must be hungry. Come on, come with me, let's go have some breakfast first, and don't starve you." β
Shen Xiao glanced at the clock on the wall, it was not yet 8 o'clock.
"Old lady, it's okay, we're not hungry yet, you can go slowly......"
Shen Xiao hugged Old Madam Gu hard, for fear that she would fall in a hurry.
Old Madam Gu was supported by Shen Xiao, not to mention how sweet it was in her heart, it was so sweet that it was about to overflow with honey.
She patted Shen Xiao's hand in the crook of her arm, and sighed with emotion: "Oops...... Xiaoxiao is really a child who knows cold and hot, so caring...... It would be nice if I had a granddaughter like you......"
Shen Xiao smiled silently, and helped Old Madam Gu to walk in the direction of the restaurant.
Regarding Mrs. Gu's statement of "wanting a girl" that she had to sigh many times every time, not only Shen Xiao did not dare to respond, but the whole family, including Mr. Gu, did not dare to respond.
Gu Xingjian was still crooked on the sofa, Chu Yunjian walked over to look at him, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Xingjian, get up for breakfast." β
"Huh!?"
Gu Xingjian suddenly woke up from his contemplation, and subconsciously looked at the sofa beside himβit was empty, and Old Mr. Gu and Old Madam Gu were no longer there.
Then he looked at Chu Yunji: "Yunji, when did you come!? I don't even know!"
Chu Yunji is also used to his confused appearance: Gu Xingjian is always distracted, and if he is not careful, he can wander for nine days, and even firecrackers around him can't wake him up.
"I just arrived. The old man and the old lady have gone to the restaurant, will you come with you?"
"Oh good, I'm starving......"
Gu Xingjian stood up, his arm habitually put on Chu Yunji's shoulder, hooked his neck and walked forward: "Ouch, you don't know, just to wait for you to come, my grandmother refused to give me food......
Chu Yunji, who had already realized how much Old Man Gu and his wife favored him, smiled a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, we're late." β
"It's not too late, it's not too late, I'm not hungry, I ate a snack to cushion my stomach! I just got up early...... Hey, I don't know why, every time I go to sleep at my grandparents' house, I always wake up early. β
"It's quiet here, and there's the smell of flowers outside the window, so if you sleep well, you'll wake up early. Chu Yunji said with a smile.
"That's how it should be. Gu Xingjian nodded.
Chu Yunjian and Gu Xingjian are of the same age, and they are both grandchildren, so they have a common language.
Not long after Mr. Gu picked up Chu Yunjian back, the news spread throughout the Gu family. Several of Mr. Gu's sons, along with his daughter-in-law and a large number of grandsons, ran to Gu's house in a majestic manner, just to see what kind of child Mr. Gu had to pick up even if he didn't hesitate to confront the Chu family.
Speaking of which, isn't the Chu Junhuai, the most outstanding child of the Chu family?
But it will definitely not be Chu Junhuai, if it is Chu Junhuai, even if the Chu family turns against the Gu family, they will not agree with the old man to take people away.
So who is the old man picking up?
ββ
When everyone poured into the Gu Mansion with questions in their hearts, what they saw was Chu Yunji, who had not yet gotten rid of his childishness.
The handsome and flawless appearance, the fresh temperament like a young leaf, and the black eyes with a hint of melancholy look incomparably deep and moving......
This boy sparkles like a jewel.
