Chapter 035 The Pious Messenger
Just after the mock exam at the end of September, the senior high school party ushered in a rare October holiday.
In the evening, when the heat does not subside, the evening glow smears on the streets of September, reflecting half of the city in the light summer. The two dragged their suitcases and stopped for dozens of minutes, and the fruity fragrance of orange trees wafted in the evening breeze, stirring the minds of young boys and girls.
"How I want to go back to that summer / The cicadas chirp across the eyelashes"
"Covet the starry sky on a summer night, your side face / I still remember the breeze tugging at the heartstrings"
"The taste of early summer is that you smile / I hold the moon and don't come harmless"
"Go farther / See the light"
Lin Jiahan hummed the song in the headphones with a thin schoolbag on his back, and walked in front of Gu Cheng with his hands behind his back, and the soles of his feet with light steps were like summer flowers blooming.
"Lin Jiahan, your box is quite heavy."
The sweat stains on the lenses of his glasses obscured Gu Cheng's vision, causing him to stagger a few steps forward. Stabilize the center of gravity and get out of the trouser pocket, "What kind of mess is in it?" β
"A girl's secret." Lin Jiahan, who was on the ramp, lifted the ends of his hair in his ears and smiled at him.
Not to mention Gu Cheng, who often plays basketball and exercises, if he is an ordinary boy, it is difficult to drag this big suitcase for such a long way.
What's more, Gu Cheng didn't bring too many things, all he took was Lin Jiahan's luggage and homework.
"If I knew I would have to walk that far, I might as well take a taxi home."
"I didn't have any money, so I couldn't get in a taxi."
Lin Jiahan said that he didn't bring any money, but his lying eyes had already exposed the essence. She purely wanted to be angry with Gu Cheng, after all, who made him angry with herself some time ago.
"You can pay with your phone, wow."
"There's no money for your phone."
"Then you can find me, I have money on my mobile phone."
"No, I'm motion sickness." "I don't like to owe favors to others."
"You were ...... when you returned favors in the bubble tea shop before"
"What did you say?"
ββ¦β¦ How far is it going? β
Lin Jiahan stopped his good and bad temper, and then followed him to change the topic:
"Ah, come on, turn left at the intersection ahead."
"Okay, okay...... I thought you weren't close to home if you didn't take the car. Gu Cheng's hands and feet were sore, and he grabbed the tissue given by Lin Jiahan to wipe his sweat.
The sun on the horizon faded to the last of its glow, and the cars passing by were all shining brightly.
Lin Jiahan fulfilled his promise and took Gu Cheng to the second floor of the apartment where he lived.
"Suitcases and bags can be put at the door, thank you~"
When the words reached his ears, Gu Cheng relieved himself of the burden of the whole world, and greedily breathed in the air outside the apartment.
"Are you sure Su Yuxi lives next door?"
"You've asked me this question for the third time, shall we change it?"
"Huh." Gu Cheng closed his mouth.
Sure enough, she is the one she knows, Lin Jiahan in daily life.
"The door isn't closed."
The hallway light in front of the apartment was turned on early, and the doorbell was tinkling, which was also a point she had only discovered now.
The lights in the apartment were ajar, and Xu Zhengchen heard footsteps from the living room in his light sleep.
There were a few flies floating on the uncleaned coffee table, the leftovers left in the fast food box stinked early, and the disposable chopsticks he used were casually thrown on the table. Not only that, Xu Zhengchen didn't even let Su Yuxi clean up the empty bottle of beer for him.
The outdated magazines and books covered his face, and it is estimated that he fell asleep on the bench after reading the book to relieve his boredom.
"Xu Zhengchen."
Xu Zhengchen, who was sleeping on the bench, raised his upper body and spit out a few words in a daze with saliva:
"Lin Jiahan, what are you doing here?"
With Xu Zhengchen's memory, forgetting to close the door has become a commonplace. You know, he also got the key to open the apartment and I don't know where he did.
"Actually, it's like this......"
"The two of you are living together?"
The lonely man and widow sharing an apartment attracted Gu Cheng's attention, although he did not have a deep relationship with these two people, and it was reasonable to ask a few words.
He tried his best not to think about it, but no matter what he did, the last thought would come back to "this guy is Su Yuxi's boyfriend".
"You're asking me?"
"Who else else......"
Gu Cheng pinched the words of the chat, and continued his inquiry with a gentle emotion:
"So you're her friend?"
"I don't know."
"Since you two are living together, you should know where she has gone now, right?"
"Can't you understand people, I don't know."
"What theβ" Gu Cheng knew that his attitude towards Xu Zhengchen was not much different, and what was missing might just be the size of his voice.
"Who are you?"
"Who is Lao Tzu who cares about your, tell me where is Su Yuxi?" Gu Cheng took a step forward and quickly pulled up the collar of Xu Zhengchen's shirt, "You don't look like a good person no matter how you look at it." β
"You two calm me down!"
Lin Jiahan pulled away Gu Cheng's reckless hand and explained, "This is Xu Zhengchen, my new neighbor. β
"He's Gu Cheng, and we're classmates in the next class."
"I'm sorry, I just thought you were that kind of person......"
"Is it over? When you're done, please leave. Xu Zhengchen picked up the magazine that had fallen on the floor, lay back on the bench and continued to read.
"Xu Zhengchen, he came to you with me this time just to see Su Yuxi." Lin Jiahan saw Gu Cheng casually running into someone else's house to make trouble, and his heart to speak for him was also a little colder.
"She's not at home and she's gone to the park."
"Going to the park alone at night? Such a dangerous thing, why didn't you take a good look at her in the first place? β
"Why should I be optimistic about her?"
"Tsk! I'm going to find her! Gu Cheng held back his urge to be rude and decided to come back and settle accounts with him.
Lin Jiahan secretly sighed in his heart that Xu Zhengchen had changed a lot, but the matter had come to this point, so he had to help Gu Cheng find someone.
"Little one!"
At the staircase on the second floor of the apartment walked out a female girl, holding a basket of vegetables and pulp in her hand. And at the moment when Su Yuxi appeared, Gu Cheng's heart was full of joy beyond words.
"Good evening, Jiahan." Su Yuxi gently shook the little hand she was holding, "Who is this tall boy?" β
"His name is Gu Cheng, and I just met him for a short time." Lin Jiahan, who probably understood the meaning, typed words on the message input interface.
"What do you mean by not knowing each other for a short time, but we've been friends for a month."
"Hee-hee."
"You, hello, Sue, Su Yu......"
"You're the one who splashed me with correction fluid before......"
Boom.
Gu Cheng stared at Su Yuxi's dodging little eyes, and when he saw that she wanted to escape, he reached out and held the wall of the road with his hand.
Completing the wall knock on the girl he likes, that's what he wants to do at this moment.
"There's something I've wanted to say to you for a long time, I like you." Gu Cheng's unconventional movements almost didn't kiss the other party's lips, and he felt as if his heart was beating with her.
Su Yuxi, who was in a panic, directly drilled through Gu Cheng's arm, hid behind Xu Zhengchen, who went out to see the situation, and timidly pulled the corners of his clothes.
"What's the matter, it's me Gu Cheng, I don't have any malicious intent."
ββ¦β¦β
"You're still thinking about that old thing, aren't you?"
Then, Gu Cheng took out the envelope he was carrying in his schoolbag:
"I know it's my fault, I just want you to forgive me this time, I hope you can accept this letter."
"Please." Gu Cheng owed himself in front of others.
"Okay." Su Yuxi politely accepted the dark yellow envelope.
"Uh, what, the bus home, yes, I'm not going to be able to catch it."
"Stupid." Lin Jiahan scolded softly.
"I'll come back to you in a few days, it's a little late today, bye." After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he walked into the staircase.
