In the first week of Gangming's residence, for seven days, Wu Yueming only watched Lei Ruochen walk in front of him three times after evening self-study. On the way to school early in the morning for self-study, Wu Yueming did not see Lei Ruochen, all he saw was the black and half-old BYD car. The azure moire curtain on the third floor never seemed to have been opened that week, at least, Wu Yueming hadn't seen the cyan moire curtain being opened that day. The effect of Wu Yueming's hollowing out of his mind to move from the school dormitory to Gangmingju was that he watched Lei Ruochen go home all the way after self-study three times a week.

On Sunday afternoon, Wu Yueming went to Xinhua Bookstore as usual. Since he met Lei Ruochen at Xinhua Bookstore for the first time, Wu Yueming has spent every Sunday afternoon at Xinhua Bookstore. He himself didn't know whether he went to Xinhua Bookstore every week to read books, or to meet Lei Ruochen by chance.

Tang Xiaogang would accompany Wu Yueming to Xinhua Bookstore every Sunday, but he did not stay in the bookstore every week, he stayed in Xinhua Bookstore completely every week and spent the whole afternoon with Wu Yueming. Biweekly, after Tang Xiaogang came to Xinhua Bookstore, he would go to the Three Musketeers Internet café directly opposite Xinhua Bookstore, and he would download songs and movies for his Walkman. I heard that it was the best Internet café in the county at that time, and of course it was the most expensive. The internet fee for the Internet café near the school is 2.5 yuan per hour, this Internet café is 5 yuan per hour, and the booth is 7 yuan. Tang Xiaogang is the kind of person who only sits in a booth, and he only goes to the Xinhua Bookstore for two hours every Sunday before going to Xinhua Bookstore to find Wu Yueming. The reason why Tang Xiaogang is such a tyrant is because he counted one of the hour's Internet fees on Wu Yueming's head. Wu Yueming didn't eat him at all, but Tang Xiaogang had his own methods. He said, "It doesn't matter if you don't give it now, I will remember every dollar, with an annual interest rate of 18%, and I will settle the account with you after you graduate from college." Wu Yueming also didn't bother to pay attention to him, just read his own book.

Wu Yueming went to Xinhua Bookstore this Sunday, not just to read books, he wanted to implement the next step that could get close to Lei Ruochen, but he needed Tang Xiaogang's help, he decided to teach himself painting, first to learn sketching, and then oil painting.

"I don't see any connection between learning painting and chasing Lei Ruochen?" Tang Xiaogang said.

"When you miss someone and you can't do anything about it, is there a way to get rid of it?" Wu Yueming asked rhetorically.

"Listen to songs, watch movies"

"It's an escape, not a positive way to face it."

"So, well, write your thoughts into love poems or draw them."

"I choose to draw it"

"I think this is still evading, the most fundamental way is to chase Lei Ruochen into his hands, instead of hiding in the corner and drawing her appearance." Tang Xiaogang knew that he couldn't say anything about Wu Yueming, but he still wanted to fight.

"It's not just an escape, it will become a tool for me to chase Lei Ruochen at that time." At this time, Wu Yueming saw Lei Ruochen and his party of four walking into the bookstore. Lei Ruochen and Yu Wei stepped into the bookstore side by side, and the moment she stepped into the bookstore, she still had a smile on her face that didn't have time to close. The two people in the back row are Xu Tingjuan and Guo Zhiqiang, judging from the expressions of the two of them, the two didn't talk much before entering the bookstore.

"Brother, I see that if you don't make a move, you may never have a chance." Tang Xiaogang casually picked up a copy of the bookshelves and stabbed Wu Yueming in the waist.

Wu Yueming knew very well what Tang Xiaogang meant, maybe Lei Ruochen was Yu Wei's secret girlfriend now, but Wu Yueming believed that at least not yet. Yu Wei agreed with Lei Ruochen in some euphemistic form that Yu University was in the same school, but it was possible, like going to Fudan University or Tongji University together. Obviously, Yu Wei will not give up his efforts to make Lei Ruochen his secret girlfriend in high school, and Guo Zhiqiang will not give up his pursuit of Lei Ruochen. It's just that if Lei Ruochen is still the girl Wu Yueming is familiar with, she will not easily touch the line of defense of early love in high school.

Lei Ruochen and the four of them only stayed in Xinhua Bookstore for half an hour before leaving, they came to buy books, which was different from Wu Yueming's simple reading of books. Wu Yue watched Lei Ruochen leave the bookstore, he imagined that maybe she would suddenly look back, as ordinary people say, if someone stares at you for a long time, you can feel it. He hoped that the rumor was true, and like most rumors, it was unfounded. Wu Yueming could only watch as the white down jacket, light blue denim trousers and black Anta sneakers disappeared from his sight. Lei Ruochen seems to have a soft spot for light blue trousers, yes, he remembers, she often wore them in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school.

Wu Yueming bought two sketch primers and two sketch books, the money was given by Tang Xiaogang, and Wu Yueming would return the money to him at the beginning of next month, and he would not wait until he graduated from college and had a job.

"I think you're right to be cautious with Lei Ruochen now." Tang Xiaogang insisted that he should hold the two sketch primers, on the grounds that he paid for them, and returned them to Wu Yueming when he arrived at the Gangming Residence.

"How so?" Wu Yueming stopped. "What did you find again?"

"Lei Ruochen came to Xinhua Bookstore last time to buy a copy of "Meditations", and this time she bought a copy of "Ideal Country" and a copy of "The Second Sex". Such a woman, I'm sorry, it's a little scary for such a girl to chase. In comparison, Xu Tingjuan is much more normal, last time she bought "Lady of the Camellias", this time it is "Snow Country". If it were me, I would rather chase Xu Tingjuan. ”

"Well, it makes sense, I think if you enter the second year of high school, you will be in the first class with Xu Tingjuan in the key class, and you will have a lot of opportunities at that time."

"God, I don't know if Xu Tingjuan is studying science or liberal arts? Do you think we'll be in the same class? ”

"No, I should be in the same class as Lei Ruochen, and at that time, I will launch a real offensive against Lei Ruochen."

"Then will Yu Wei be in the same class as you?"

"Probably, he won't be in the same class as us. According to the school's past practice, there will still be three key classes in science, but the number of students in each class will be reduced accordingly. ”

Since Wu Yueming decided to learn painting, every night when he returned to Gangmingju after self-study, he scribbled on the desk in front of the window. After resting, he locked his vision to the window on the third floor where Lei Ruochen lived in the third building in the second row, but the cyan moire curtain never opened at night. Only on Sunday afternoon had he seen the azure moire curtains being pulled open. After a few observations, he determined that behind the window was a study. He also figured out Lei Ruochen's family members, Lei Ruochen's family is three generations in the same house, her grandparents' bedroom is on the first floor, her parents are on the second floor, and she occupies the entire third floor.

Wu Yueming mainly focused on portrait painting, and at first used Tang Xiaogang as a model. When his painting skills have improved slightly, there is only one of his characters, and that is Lei Ruochen. In order to learn painting, he not only asked Tang Xiaogang to pay for him to buy books, paper, canvas, pens and paints. often occupied the Walkman that Tang Xiaogang used to listen to songs and watch movies, and he asked Tang Xiaogang to go to the Internet café more likely to download videos about painting for him to watch and learn.

After Tang Xiaogang couldn't bear it, he asked his father to buy him the latest Walkman. Tang Xiaogang's reason for his father was that he would enter the key class in the sophomore arts and sciences examination. Tang Xiaogang accepted Wu Yueming's tyranny because Wu Yueming said that he would be admitted to the key class in the second year of high school. If he enters the key class, he will not only get the latest mobile phone, but also increase his living expenses by another 300 yuan per month.

When Wu Yueming focused on painting, he still asked Tang Xiaogang to pay attention to Lei Ruochen's every move. Just in case Yu Wei and Guo Zhiqiang will use some strange tricks to turn Lei Ruochen into one of their secret girlfriends. Fortunately, for the entire school year of high school, Yu Wei and Guo Zhiqiang did not come up with any strange tricks. The state of the two of them is not much better than Wu Yueming from a certain point of view, during this period, Tang Xiaogang mentioned Xu Tingjuan more and more frequently, and excitedly announced to Wu Yueming that Xu Tingjuan no longer has a good impression of Wei, if the second year of high school can really be in the same class as Xu Tingjuan, then he will definitely chase Xu Tingjuan.

In the first year of high school, Wu Yueming was not without gains. After self-study three times a week, she followed behind Lei Ruochen, and when she took out the key when she got home, Wu Yueming also took out the key to open the aluminum alloy door that led to the famous residence he just had. Two or three times, when Wu Yueming was opening the aluminum alloy door, Lei Ruochen looked back. Wu Yueming was now convinced that Lei Ruochen knew of his existence, a boy in the same grade as her and living diagonally across from her house.
