Everyone knows that I am a licking dog, Lu Mingze's licking dog.

That's true, but it's not at all.

My kindness to Lu Mingze is based on the condition that he is the first in his grade.

But this secret, no one knows.

They all thought that I liked Lu Mingze because he was good-looking, after all, Lu Mingze was also the school grass of our school.

"Lu Mingze, this is the dinner I brought you, can we go to the library together for evening self-study?" I followed Lu Mingze with breakfast and asked earnestly.

Lu Mingze looked at me apologetically: "No need, classmate Gu Yao, I've already eaten." I also made an appointment to go to the teacher's office with other students in the evening, but I can't go to the library, so I'm sorry. ”

I took back my lunch box with a little frustration.

This is not the first time Lu Mingze has rejected me.

Since the first monthly exam, I have been chasing him relentlessly.

I confessed to him, and he politely rejected me, telling me that as a student, I should study hard and not fall in love.

After that, I never mentioned that I liked these two words, but I was kind to him.

Retracting the lunch box, I returned to my seat.

At the same table was my cousin, of course, only three days older than me.

Seeing me come back with the lunch box, she glared at me with some hatred: "They all said that they would be rejected, what are you doing licking the dog like this?" ”

I silently opened the lunch box and ate it.

Ever since I knew that Lu Mingze would refuse me, I chose to bring only one meal to school so that I wouldn't waste food.

Seeing me bowing my head to eat, my cousin sighed: "Gu Yao, if you put your mind on studying, your grades won't be so bad." ”

In fact, my cousin's words are a bit exaggerated, after all, our class is the best class in the school.

I'm just the one with the worst grades in this top class, and my grades are still good compared to my classmates in other classes.

Seeing what she was going to say, I immediately picked up the rice balls in the lunch box and stuffed them into her mouth, gagging her mouth.

The cousin stretched out her hand to catch it, swallowed the rice ball, and looked at Lu Mingze in front of her with some regret: "He hasn't eaten such a delicious thing, it's a pity......"

I silently handed over a rice ball, and my cousin obediently shut up.

When I was studying at night, it suddenly rained at school.

The rain of beans hit the ground with a crackling sound.

I usually bring an umbrella, but I woke up a little late this morning, so I forgot to bring it.

As for her cousin, she lives at school and has long since returned to her dormitory.

I was struggling with whether to rush home in the rain or wait for the rain to subside before leaving, when an umbrella suddenly appeared in front of me.

Following the umbrella, I saw Lu Mingze standing beside me, very uncomfortable.

"The umbrella is lent to you."

Looking at the heavier and heavier rain, and then at Lu Mingze, I was silent for a while and asked, "Give me the umbrella, how can you go back?" ”

He pointed to another male classmate standing not far away: "He's on the same road as me, you don't have to worry." ”

Without waiting for me to say anything more, Lu Mingze stuffed the umbrella into my hand and walked towards the classmate.

I was in a hurry, as if I was afraid that I would return the umbrella to him.

I didn't bother and watched him and his male classmates hold the umbrella together and walk towards the other school gate, and also opened the umbrella.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, although Lu Mingze has been rejecting me, he hasn't said anything excessive to me.

No matter who he treats, he is so polite, and as the class president, he has always cared about every classmate.

And when I pursued him, it seemed that I only saw his achievements, and never cared about how he was as a person.

The next day, I arrived at school early and put the umbrella back in his seat while my classmate was not here.

I know Lu Mingze doesn't like to be in the limelight.

Before, because of my vigorous pursuit, he and I were called to the office to talk, if this time a classmate saw me return the umbrella, then the two of us will be going to the office again.

The last time I went to the office, I also explained it for a long time.

I don't know if Lu Mingze is annoyed, but I really don't like going to the office.

In particular, my grades have always been at the end of the crane, and the class teacher's attitude towards me is not good, and it is not bad.

However, he likes Lu Mingze very much, and Lu Mingze, who is the first in the grade, is the person he values the most.

Knowing that I was pestering Lu Mingze, he was in the way of being a girl, so it was not easy to talk seriously, but he also vaguely reminded me not to delay Lu Mingze's results.

When Lu Mingze came, there were already a lot of people in the classroom.

When he saw the umbrella at the table, he glanced back at me.

Eyes met, and he quickly looked away.

But I could already see his reddened earlobes.

The midterm exams are getting closer, and my dark circles are getting heavier.

Finally, one noon, I fell ill.

When I woke up, I saw my cousin standing by my bedside.

She looked surprised when she woke up to me, but quickly became serious again.

"Gu Yao, didn't you study behind my back and my dad again?"

I grabbed her arm and looked at her pitifully: "Cousin, forgive me, this time it was an accident... I'll have a good rest in the future. ”

My cousin doesn't seem to like me anymore: "That's what you said last time." ”

I was silent.

My cousin touched my head and seemed to sigh: "Yaoyao, that accident was not your fault. ”

Hearing this, my eyes were inexplicably hot.

After leaving the hospital and returning to school, I found that Lu Mingze's attitude towards me had changed.

He no longer refused my kindness to him, and while accepting what I had offered, he invited me to dinner.

Then give me a lecture while eating.

I was nauseous and wanted to vomit when I saw the book, but Lu Mingze was there, and I couldn't show it.

After all, it's studying with the first grade.

Lu Mingze probably sensed my discomfort as well, and every time before I was about to vomit, he stopped the lecture and asked me to listen to the story and play games for a while.

It is impossible for the teacher to take care of every student, so everyone will not be able to talk about the questions.

And I'm the one who has the crane tail in the class, and I'm disgusted when I read books, and I missed a lot of knowledge points, and I can't do most of the questions.

It's rare to have Lu Mingze, a scholar, of course, I have to figure out all the questions even if I endure nausea.

Lu Mingze is not only in charge of my studies, but also in charge of my daily routine.

I belong to the kind of physique that has heavy dark circles under my eyes when I stay up late, and in order to maintain the position of the rear of the crane in this class, I often stay up late to study.

But after studying with Lu Mingze, my dark circles disappeared.

Not only that, but he asked me to take a nap at noon,

This lasts until the time of the monthly exams.

Lu Mingze was still the first in the grade, and my ranking went straight to the middle from the end of the crane, and the head teacher praised me in front of the whole class, and did not forget to praise the helpful Lu Mingze.

Although I don't know why Lu Mingze changed his mind to help me study, I am very grateful to him.

Every time I read a book, the feeling of nausea and vomiting seems to be subsiding little by little.

I became more and more comfortable with those questions, and my grades improved by leaps and bounds.

In the last semester of my senior year, I managed to climb to the top three of my grade.

Lu Mingze was the first in this grade and directly threw off the second place by a few points, and the score between me and the second place was only a few points apart.

I'm busy studying, and I don't have time to lick dogs, but within the scope of my ability, I will still be good to Lu Mingze.

There are three days left before the last monthly exam, and after the monthly exam, it is the most important college entrance examination.

On this day, after I packed my schoolbag, Lu Mingze, who had finished tutoring, suddenly asked me, "Which school do you want to go to?" ”

I was stunned, not expecting him to ask me this question.

After all, I pestered him a long time ago, and he must hate me.

"You don't hate me when I did that before?" I looked at him jokingly: "Aren't you afraid that my college will continue to pester you?" ”

Lu Mingze's dark eyes looked at me, and finally shook his head: "I don't hate it, and I don't be afraid." ”

"Do you really want to know which school I'm going to go to?"

Seeing him nod, the corners of my lips rose slightly: "It's better like this, in the last monthly exam, if I get the first grade in the exam, I'll tell you." ”

Lu Mingze's expression had an indescribable subtlety, but I didn't notice it.

After studying with Lu Mingze for so long, I am confident that I will surpass the second grade this time.

As for Lu Mingze, who is the first in the grade, there is only one possibility to surpass him.

Soon it was time to announce the results.

My cousin is more positive than myself.

She ran to the bulletin board one step ahead of me, and when she saw me coming, she immediately shouted excitedly: "Yaoyao, you are the first!" 1st place! ”

I looked up in surprise, but saw Lu Mingze, who was standing next to her, walking towards me with a complicated expression.

Finally stopped in front of me, he stared at my eyes tightly, and his tone was a little uneasy: "Gu Yao, can you tell me, which school are you going to?" ”

"Is this answer important to you?" I asked rhetorically.

The boy nodded earnestly.

I gently leaned into his ear.

Lu Mingze is not the first in the grade.

But I was still there for him.

There was an inexplicable tacit understanding between us.

The night I got my acceptance letter happened to be my eighteenth birthday.

Since my parents died, no one remembers my birthday except for my uncle's family.

When I left my uncle's house, it was already past nine o'clock.

My uncle's house is only a few minutes away from me. Soon I saw the door.

It's home, but I'm the only one.

It's just that when I saw Lu Mingze sitting in front of my house, I was still a little surprised.

When he saw me, he immediately stood up: "Where have you been?" This tone sounded a little aggrieved.

I lifted the gift in my hand: "Today is my birthday. ”

Hearing this, he immediately showed a somewhat flustered expression, and touched his hand on his body, but only took out a blue admission letter - exactly the same as mine.

"I'm sorry, I didn't prepare a gift." With the notice in hand, he looked at me at a loss.

"It's okay," I didn't care, and walked over and opened the door, "Do you want to go in and sit down?" ”

The young man was stunned, and then shook his head: "Gu Yao, I came here today to tell you something." ”

I pointed to his acceptance letter: "If it's this, I've seen it." ”

"It's not just the admission letter," Lu Mingze looked at me, his ears reddened: "There is another thing." ”

"Gu Yao, I like you, can you be my girlfriend?" The boy took a handful of gardenias from the corner and brought them to me.

I didn't take the flower, but stared at him: "How do you know I like this flower?" ”

After my parents died, I abandoned all my preferences.

Probably no one but myself knew that I liked gardenias.

But......

"A long time ago," Lu Mingze smiled a little, "You may not remember me, but I've always liked you." ”

I looked Lu Mingze up and down, and I really couldn't remember that I had such a fairy and beautiful classmate.

"You don't have to look at it, it's a big change from before." Lu Mingze said, touching his face: "I changed my name, my name was Gou Xu before." ”

I looked at the slender boy in front of me, and I really couldn't associate him with the bloated, somewhat gloomy little fat man in my memory.

"Then why didn't you agree to my confession?" I'm a little weird.

If you like me, then why did you reject me when I confessed?

The boy scratched his head, but replied to me very seriously: "Because I know, you just like the first grade, not me, the most important thing at that time was not to fall in love, but to study." ”

When I was in junior high school, I was really crazy about pursuing the first classmate in every grade.

There are men and women, and they are very famous in school, which is why I changed schools when I graduated from junior high school.

"But the most important thing is that it is better for boys to take the initiative to confess this kind of thing." The boy was a lot taller than me, and he was no longer the shorter man I remembered.

He knelt on one knee and looked at me with such a focused and solemn gaze: "I want to ask Gu Yao, are you willing to be my girlfriend?" ”

After a pause, he continued, "Of course, I will continue to maintain my position as the number one in my grade. ”

I wiped the corners of my hot eyes, took the flowers and hugged him.

"I do."

Postscript:

Lu Mingze deliberately went to check the flower language of gardenias.

Happy and joyful, strong and brave, silently guarding, eternal love, and keeping promises.

Just like Gu Yao.

Because of physical reasons, he became obese after taking hormone pills, and the ensuing school violence made him gloomy.

After discussion with his parents, he changed to a new school.

I also knew the light in my life.

The girl named Gu Yao always has a faint fragrance of gardenia on her body.

When he is alienated by other classmates, she will take care of him and take him to play with him.

When I hear someone slander, I will defend him.

When he sees someone bullying him, he will also stand up.

Although he is not the only one who has been helped in this way.

Maybe Gu Yao didn't know who she had helped.

But Lu Mingze will remember.

Later, one day, he heard that Gu Yao's parents had died in a car accident.

After that, her temperament changed drastically, and she began to pursue the first place in her grade frantically.

Before Lu Mingze knew the reason, when he graduated from junior high school, Gu Yao changed schools.

His illness was finally cured after the operation.

He inquired about Gu Yao's school with his classmates, worked hard to make up classes at home, and then went to Gu Yao's school, and took the first grade.

He naturally made Gu Yao obsessed with him, or rather, obsessed with his grades.

Gu Yao began to pester him, but he couldn't respond.

He was afraid that he would not be able to control his feelings for her.

Later, in the mouth of Gu Yao's cousin, he knew the truth of everything.

When she was in the second year of junior high school, Gu Yao's parents divorced.

At the time when the quarrel was the worst, Gu Yao's grades just dropped.

At that time, the two of them directly used Gu Yao's grades as an excuse to quarrel, and finally the two decided to drive to the Civil Affairs Bureau for divorce.

That is, on that day, a large truck lost control and two people died on the spot.

Gu Yao blamed herself and felt guilty, she thought that she didn't get good grades, because she was not the first in her grade, so her parents would divorce, and she would have an accident.

She studied frantically, reading books all day and night, and as a result, when she saw a book, she was directly nauseous and wanted to vomit.

She said she was tired of school. This also led to her frantically pursuing the first place in her grade.

Uncle Gu had no choice but to arrange for her to transfer to another school.

After leaving the original place, Gu Yao's situation did improve a lot, but for the sake of good grades, she naturally insisted on staying up late to study, and then she began to feel nauseous and want to vomit.

Even with Uncle Gu supervising, her condition did not improve.

Gu Yao looked a lot better, but Uncle Gu knew that she had always refused to forgive herself.

Lu Mingze didn't know how to untie her heart knot, but she liked the first place so much, so let's start from studying.

Little by little, he made her adapt to reading and made her grades better little by little.

He didn't know if what he was doing was right, but Gu Yao's smile when he saw the results made him persevere.

Gu Yao still has such good grades even though she is tired of studying, which naturally shows that she is not badly talented.

Lu Mingze's step-by-step approach made her relax her vigilance little by little, and she no longer rejected learning.

Her body had become very poor because of staying up late, so he supervised him to rest.

He couldn't look at the tree for too long, and he couldn't see the knowledge points, so he read it out and controlled the time to let her get used to it slowly.

As for her later sentence that seemed like a joke, Lu Mingze thought that if this could make her untie the knot. In fact, it's not a big deal to let it be given to her.

After all, from the beginning, it was for her that she worked hard to strive for this so-called first place in the grade.

He will do his best to help Gu Yao, just like she did at the beginning.

He wanted to protect her smile.

The few little selfishness is to want to know the school she is going to and confess to her.

He thought he would be rejected.

But the last bit of selfishness was fulfilled by the girl she liked.

——

And many years later, her daughter suddenly asked Gu Yao why she was with her father.

Gu Yao smiled slightly, pinched her daughter's nose and replied.

Probably he risked losing me and wanted me to be happy.

I treat him well on the premise that he is the first in his grade.

But this secret, only he and I know.
