In the past two days, except for the chaotic cicadas, everything has been quiet.

Li wants to be like this, Meng Li is like this, and Gu Qing's life is even more so.

Because of some personalities and family relationships, he has few good relationships in the class, and he can't say anything except Li Xiang and Meng Li. After the three of them froze, no one came to him to answer. The bell rings, walks into the classroom, and leaves school. A person is a little lonely, but he doesn't care.

Because, it's good to be quiet now.

Yes, he needs to be quiet.

Li Xiang and Meng Li are former buddy partners.

But now they have abandoned themselves too?

Ridiculous, ridiculous!

Two years ago, that dusk in the playground, do they remember!?

I don't remember, I don't remember.

Because if they remembered, they wouldn't have asked themselves so hard, that kind of look?

Suspicion, distrust, ridiculous!

Lying on his bed, Gu Qing's eyes stared at the wall with a group photo of the three of them.

Three scarred people, three boys who frowned in pain because of the wounds on their bodies, but laughed happily together.

............

Two years ago, Gu Qing, Meng Li, and Li Xiang had just entered high school.

They weren't in the same class at the time. Li Xiang and Meng Li are in the fifth class, while Gu Qing is a student in the second class. They were supposed to be two parallel lines that would never intersect, but they met at that time!

Because of what?

By the way, it's a basketball game.

At that time, school was out and there were not many people in the school. Class 5 is playing basketball, there are four people, and there is still one short, but their opponents are a few guys from the third year of high school, I don't know why, Gu Qing joined.

It's a very ordinary thing, but it's something that everyone has done in high school. But what happened after that was not calm.

Basketball was playing, there was a conflict between the two sides, and it was already out of school and the teacher was not there, so the conflict quickly escalated.

The two sides began to fight in groups!

High school students are always impulsive and enthusiastic! When it comes to fighting, who's afraid of whom, fight!

is also because of his young impulsiveness, he is always very ruthless. Soon, because of his relatively small physique, the first year of high school lost, and the four people in the fifth class ran two, but Gu Qing stayed.

Why stay?

It was a problem, and he didn't seem to think much about it at the time, so he stayed.

Because of the tall and big horses, Meng Li can do two or three when he fights alone, but he is very passive when there are few people and fights in groups. When fighting in a group, everyone will always be the first to hit him when they see a strong one. He's like that, and the other two are even worse! So they lost...... Badly beaten!

In the end, after enough fights and dispersed, the three of them looked at each other's miserable appearances, but they all laughed.

"Oh, it hurts! Don't let me see them alone next time, kill him!!"

"Needless to say, call me, together!"

"Call me ...... too"

"I will believe you in the future!" said the three of them energetically, and he said with enthusiasm at the time. This sentence was said very enthusiastically, and Gu Qing originally felt ashamed after speaking, but he didn't expect to hear two exactly the same words.

"I will believe you in the future!"

"I will believe in you in the future!" That clear look has always remained in his heart.

That photo is the trace left by the three of them, and it was said at the time that it was for revenge Ming's determination!

......... Revenge didn't find anyone, Gu Qing became best friends with Li Xiang and Meng Li, and when he was in the second year of high school, Gu Qing begged his mother to divide the three of them together. finally couldn't survive her son, her mother left some relationships, and the three of them came to a class.

......

"Hehe, have you forgotten?" Gu Qing lay on his bed, laughing at himself.

"Humans are forgetful creatures. Sighing and saying something he didn't want to hear, Gu Qing turned on the stereo in his room to the loudest. Deafening music echoed through the room.

............

Classes, Schools...... Simple, simple.

There are no miracles in life!

However, a miracle still happened, and it only took - the price!

Dusk, the way home.

Step out of the classroom door and walk on the path that has been walked countless times. Walk down the hallway with the guardrail, out of the gate of the school building, through a small garden, through the playground, until you walk out of the school gate.........

Today's Gu Qing did not follow the nearest road, but spared a large circle, turning into a road that is never easy to enter. In the morning, after waking up and feeling something disappear from his mind, he decides.

Miracles, since they are in front of their eyes, they must grasp it.

Wenshan Street says No. 69, an ordinary place, but there is an extraordinary person living there!

This is Gu Qing's entire understanding of this place.

Wenshan Road is a road that has been around for a long time, or rather, the current Wenshan Road is a road for a long time. The street itself is not shabby, it can even be said to be very nice, the clean environment, and the suitable greenery make it very comfortable.

There is a red mailbox not far from No. 69 Wenshan Road, which looks like it is some years old. Morning glories grew around the mailbox, wrapped around the mailbox, and the flowers were not blooming, only a few half-fallen buds. It's simple, but it has a quiet and laid-back taste.

Seven years ago, a new street was built next to Wenshan Road, and the economic center was shifted to a new neighborhood.

Most of the people in the old neighborhood are doing business, and since the economic center has shifted, they will naturally follow suit.

Seven years is enough time to change a lot of things.

A lot...... For example, the newly built Wenchang Road next to it has changed from the original wilderness to the most lively economic center of this generation. For another example, Wenshan Road, an economic street, was depressed, the shops that were originally doing business were closed, some were rented out as guest rooms, and some were never opened......

Wenshan Road ...... Not good for business?

Perhaps, but not all.

At the very least, he knew that there was a business that didn't have to be transferred!

"Bang bang bang~" The door is not closed, leaving a little gap. He didn't push it away, but knocked it lightly a few times.

"Please come in. As Gu Qing knocked on the door, a soft voice came out, a very nice girl's voice, faint, without too much emotion, but it was really good. It's like Chopin's serenade, so serene and quiet......

Let the irritable person be quiet.

"Thank you, thank you......" At this time, he stammered a little, but he still said that he answered.

Intense color ...... That's the first impression everyone has when they enter this room. Small, but weird notches on walls, furniture, and even chairs. Colours with strong suggestiveness intersect in the room, creating a protective coat of colour.

Gu Qing shook his head and narrowed his eyes, the strong colors here made him a little dizzy.

After walking for a while, I walked from the living room to the study that was not closed, and I felt much dizzy.

"Can I come in?" the door of the study was not closed, but he knocked politely. He is not the kind of polite person, and his usual habits are quite casual, but when he walked from the door to the study, for some reason, the strong colors always left a feeling of fear in his heart, but panicked......

Because of fear, people become cautious.

Because of prudence, a person becomes courteous.

Just like instinct, people are subconsciously protecting themselves.

"Please come in. There was a nice girl's voice in the unclosed study, and her voice was very soft, not as sharp as the softness of an ordinary girl. Thinking about it seriously, it was really a rather peculiar sound, like a jade bead falling on a plate, clear and clean.

After seeing this voice, he relaxed, pushed open the door and walked in.

In the study, the first thing I saw was several large bookshelves and the huge desk. Thousands of books are contained, on the shelves, on the floor, on the tables...... It's like a hill of books.

In the corner of the mountain, a small figure sits in a soft light.

This is a girl with long straight hair, wearing a thin plain white dress, no patterns, no decorations, simple and simple. With her back to him, she sat in the stack of books, holding a thick book in her slender hands, reading carefully.

Her movements are light, giving the impression of being afraid of damage to books.

Every time I turn a page, I handle it gently, mildly, without a trace of irritability, without a little anxiety.

The room was crowded with too many books, with books at your feet and books around you. Books with brand new covers, old books, books spread out, books on the shelves, heavy books, and light books. As far as the eye can see, all of them are occupied by books of all colors.

He took a deep breath and said seriously: "Bookworm, the appointed time has come. ”

Gu Qing didn't know the name of the girl in front of her who looked no bigger than herself, and when she first saw her, she had been reading a book and had made herself wait for a long time. The title of bookworm was also taken by myself at that time.

"Oh, a month? That's fast. The girl who seemed to be about to bury herself in a book paused when she heard this, and after reading the unfinished page, she gently tucked the old bookmark on the side of the book and turned slowly.

She wasn't big, about fifteen or sixteen. The face is soft, quietly without a trace of superfluous expression.

Her cheeks may not be extremely beautiful, but the corners of her small mouth are slightly hung with a graceful smile.

Although she has no expression, she has a wonderful temperament that people will not forget when they see it.

But these were ignored in Gu Qing's eyes...... He was staring at those small but gentle and bright eyes. Clean eyes, clear eyes. There is not a trace of magazines, like a free sky. It's obviously not big, but it reveals a sense of years that have been through the vicissitudes of life.

"Now that you've experienced it, let's decide now. Continue the trade, or just let it end?" the girl's voice was low, but very clear. It was like a beautiful serenade to his ears.

“...... It's decided. Faced with this unprovoked question, he replied with great seriousness: "Go on." ”

"Well, well, thank you for your patronage. "Girls, you can also call them bookworms. Even when she turned around and answered Gu Qing's question seriously, she was still holding the unfinished book in her hand. From the corner of the book, you can clearly see the "Deconstruction of the Spiritual Method".

"High school level English, high school level chemistry. If I'm not mistaken, these are the two subjects. ”

"Yes. ”

"Do you need anything else?" I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I said this, the voice that had always been clean changed slightly, and it seemed to be a little expectant.

In the face of her expectations, Gu Qing's face changed and darkened a lot.

He immediately suppressed the urge to nod his head in his heart, and said hurriedly, "No, no need. I can figure out the rest on my own. ”

"It's a shame......"

"What kind of knowledge do you want this time to trade yourself?"

"Level 4 computer knowledge, I want to use this to trade these two high school level knowledge, no problem!"

The girl looked at him with a little surprise, as if surprised by the trading items he used: "It's total, the trading time is one year, you need to keep in mind...... Well, this time my income is significantly greater than what I give. In this way, it comes with a small and useful knowledge 'short-time memory method' that I used when I was a child, and a very useful little trick. ”

-- Silence, he was silent, and the girl did not speak, but read quietly.

I don't know why, but after the deal was negotiated, he hesitated.

“...... Come on!" He stared at her for a long time before gritting his teeth.

"Don't show that expression, I've modified the improvement method, and I shouldn't have a headache this time. As if sorry for the pain she had caused him last time, the girl bowed her head apologetically, and then pressed the slender finger to the center of his forehead.

"The transaction is established, and you are sure to pay?"

"Sure!"

As he answered, something seemed to appear in the air around him...... The originally ordinary atmosphere began to enter the mystery.

...... in the head It was as if a hand was reaching into it, extracting something from its own secret mind, and with it the loss of something, an emptiness came from the depths of the heart...... Then, something different was added, filling up the originally empty mind.

Under Gu Qing's guarded face, the girl removed her index finger.

"Open your eyes, it's said that it has been improved, and it won't be a headache anymore. ”

When he opened his eyes, the girl in front of him was already so, quietly, without making a wave. She looked at him. He said calmly: "The price has been paid, and the remuneration has been paid." I hope you can put this knowledge to good use, and if you use it well, even if I take it back in the future, you won't lose it again. ”

She returned to her position and picked up the book, but she seemed to remember something, put it down again, turned around, stared at him with some solemnity, and said, "Bookworms don't sound good, I don't like them...... Well, you can call me a renter. ”

............

Although I didn't have the same headache as the first time, my head was still a little dizzy.

Gu Qing stayed for a while longer and then left.

When he went out, there was a girl about his age standing at the door.

He gave her a smug smile and asked, "Looking for someone?"

"Yes. ”

"Looking for a renter?"

"Yes. ”

"Lend knowledge?"

"Yes. ”

"Please come in. ”
