When Chu Zhang saw this message, he immediately went to various major websites to search for any rumors about him and any female celebrities.

After searching around, I felt relieved when I found nothing.

For some reason, Chu Zhang felt very guilty at this moment.

How could he let his little angel see him kissing an unfamiliar woman.

...Not really, his little angel is already an adult.

Chu Zhang was pacing back and forth and was seen by Zhao Xinghua.

"What are you doing here?" Every time Zhao Xinghua saw Chu Zhang going crazy, there was usually only one reason, "Wan Qiu sent you a message again?"

"Yes, that's right." Chu Zhang's expression was very subtle, "Wan Qiu asked me if the heroine and I were in love when we kissed!"

Zhao Xinghua: “…” Although he thought it was ridiculous to ask this question, he felt it was a big deal when he thought the target was Wan Qiu.

"Then just say you're filming a movie," Zhao Xinghua suggested.

"Wouldn't it be shameless for me to kiss anyone just for the sake of filming?" Chu Zhang denied it immediately.

Zhao Xinghua suppressed the urge to complain and said, "Then just say you were in love at that time."

"Wan Qiu will love that woman and her family too. I can't bear to let her go. I'm not happy about it."

Zhao Xinghua felt the veins on his forehead throbbing: "Then let me ask what the situation is first, and then think of a solution!"

Chu Zhang certainly knew how to do it well, and he said this just to tease Zhao Xinghua.

When Chu Zhang saw Zhao Xinghua's expression, he knew that he had probably teased him too much, and he would be beaten if he teased him again.

He immediately asked Wan Qiu seriously what was going on.

After Wan Qiu sent several messages in succession to explain the situation, Chu Zhang's expression became subtly wonderful.

Wan Qiu: Yigui said that you will know you like it just by looking at it.

Wan Qiu: When I looked at Yigui, I knew that I liked Yigui very much. Is this love?

Wan Qiu: But Wang Yue said that only those who know how to kiss can be lovers.

Wan Qiu: If you don’t hate kissing, does that mean you are lovers?

Chu Zhang sat in the lounge nearby, it was extremely quiet.

He held the phone in one hand and covered his mouth with the other, looking serious, as if facing a formidable enemy.

No way…

It probably wasn't what he thought.

Impossible. Impossible.

It’s not impossible!

Thinking about the communication between Chu Yigui and Wan Qiu…it seems unlikely. If it really happened, there would be some signs at all.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Xinghua also realized that something was wrong and couldn't help but step forward to ask for more details.

"Brother Zhao, what do you think of the relationship between Chu Yigui and my Wanqiu?" Chu Zhang asked.

"Very good, right?" Zhao Xinghua answered truthfully.

"Do you feel that it's a bit too good?"

Zhao Xinghua nodded: "I rarely see two children whose relationship is as good as theirs."

Chu Zhang anxiously grabbed Zhao Xinghua's hand: "You are a bystander and can see things more clearly. Please help me analyze this. Does the relationship between Chu Yigui and Wan Qiu look like a romantic relationship?!"

"…Is there something wrong with your brain?" Zhao Xinghua's expression was very subtle.

"Yes, it's impossible." Chu Zhang also felt that he was not the one who was confused.

Zhao Xinghua looked at Chu Zhang's expression, and his heart sank a little bit: "Could it be...Wan Qiu told you that he likes Yi Gui?"

Chu Zhang's mouth twitched: "I've heard Wan Qiu like Chu Yigui many times."

Zhao Xinghua thought about it carefully, and indeed, he had also heard Chu Yigui and Wan Qiu say that they liked each other.

"Isn't that normal? Why are you so..."

Chu Zhang looked at his phone with a very serious expression: "Wan Qiu asked me about dating, and the first person he thought of was Chu Yigui."

“…”

"To be honest, I think Wan Qiu and Chu Yigui have a relationship as good as an old married couple. If we really talk about love, maybe no one is as clingy as them." Chu Zhang covered his face sadly.

Zhao Xinghua also felt that this was probably a big problem.

"Now he asked me if I wanted to fall in love just because I was willing to kiss. I was really afraid that if I said yes, Wan Qiu would go find Chu Yigui to experiment."

When Chu Zhang thought of that possibility, he felt sick all over.

"Just say you can't date in high school." Zhao Xinghua said firmly.

"Wow, wow, wow, I want to be a caring big brother, not a strict parent."

Chu Zhang was crying here, and was slapped on the head by Zhao Xinghua.

"Be normal, is this the time for you to joke?"

Although it was loud, it didn't actually hurt. Chu Zhang felt aggrieved: "I really am serious. I don't want to fool around."

Zhao Xinghua sat next to Chu Zhang.

The thought expresses anxiety through the speed at which the fingers keep tapping on the legs.

"By the way, does your family discriminate against people of the same sex?"

"No discrimination?" Chu Zhang said as a matter of course, "Do you think my mom would discriminate? If my mom doesn't discriminate, my dad certainly won't discriminate either."

"Then why can't Yigui date Wanqiu?" Zhao Xinghua asked.

Chu Zhang: "..."

Chu Zhang turned his head and looked at the ground.

Chu Zhang's expression gradually became dull.

Zhao Xinghua twitched his lips. Could it be that he hadn't noticed this problem from the beginning to the end?

"No, I can't imagine these two kids falling in love." Chu Zhang said helplessly.

It’s not that Zhao Xinghua can’t understand Chu Zhang’s feelings. After all, this situation is indeed a bit complicated.

"Besides, Chu Yigui would not be willing to be in a relationship with Wan Qiu. If Wan Qiu has any ideas, it will be very difficult for him."

Zhao Xinghua was stunned.

"Besides, it's not so much that I don't want Wan Qiu and Chu Yigui to fall in love, but rather that I don't want Wan Qiu to fall in love so early. He has only been back for a few years, and I can't bear to let him go."

Chu Zhang's voice was as gentle as a blooming dandelion in the breeze, floating into the air and spreading out.

Even ordinary parents can't bear to part with their children.

How could they bear to let go of this child who had been with them for less than five years?

Chu Zhang thought about it and replied to Wan Qiu.

Chu Zhang: When it comes to love, just let it happen naturally and don’t force it.

Chu Zhang: If it is really a love relationship, you will definitely find out someday.

Chu Zhang: Just like friendship and family, love is not a complicated thing. There is no need to pay special attention to it, and there is no need to be embarrassed about it.

Chu Zhang: My dear Wanqiu, don’t fall in love so quickly. Wouldn’t it be better for you to spend more time with your brother?

Chu Zhang's response can't be considered as perfunctory.

I was answering Wan Qiu's question seriously.

Although the emphasis is on the last sentence.

Wan Qiu quickly replied to the message.

Wan Qiu: Are the big brother and the heroine in love?

Chu Zhang: In TV dramas, of course people kiss each other because they are in love.

Chu Zhang: But the person in the TV series is not your eldest brother.

After seeing the news, Wan Qiu suddenly understood something.

The person on TV is not his eldest brother, but the person in the TV series.

Wan Qiu finally reacted in a daze.

Wan Qiu sent a message to Wang Yue.

Wan Qiu: Have you ever kissed?

Wang Yue: Fuck…

Wang Yue: No, I still have my first kiss!

Wan Qiu: So you said you were willing to kiss, did you read about it in a novel?

Wang Yue: …

Wang Yue: Yes, yes, I am just talking about it on paper, so what? Have you ever seen a pig run before eating pork?

Wan Qiu suddenly felt that perhaps he couldn’t believe all of Wang Yue’s words about love.

It may be of reference value, but it should be considered with caution.

Love is really complicated.

It's so complicated that everyone has a different explanation.

——

Wan Qiu and Chu Yigui finally went to the orphanage again a few days before school started.

On the way to the orphanage, Wan Qiu was held by the hand by Chu Yigui.

Wan Qiu also shook hands with Chu Yigui in return.

Suddenly, Wan Qiu realized that it seemed like they hadn't been together doing nothing like this for some time.

Wan Qiu has stopped tutoring classes with Chu Yigui. Except for asking Chu Yigui for help on questions he doesn't know how to answer, Chu Yigui spends most of his time studying on his own.

This situation reminded Wan Qiu of the time when he had just returned to the Chu family. Chu Yigui was always elusive.

Wan Qiu also asked Chu Yigui if he wanted to hire a tutor, but Chu Yigui refused.

Chu Yigui said that he now needs to consolidate and learn on his own.

I don’t know why, but Wan Qiu vaguely feels that Chu Yigui’s enthusiasm for learning is different from before.

Compared to before, Wan Qiu seemed to see enthusiasm.

During the holidays, many of Chu Yigui's former tutors called to ask about the colleges he wanted to apply for, and some even wanted to enroll him directly, but they were all rejected.

Wan Qiu thinks Chu Yigui is very powerful because others also think Chu Yigui is very powerful.

Wan Qiu asked Chu Yigui why he was studying so hard now.

Chu Yigui said that he wanted to get the top score in the national college entrance examination.

Wan Qiu felt that the national top scorer in the college entrance examination sounded as powerful as the emperor.

Chu Yigui smiled and told him that the top scholar is the top scholar.

Because he hadn't faced Chu Yigui properly for a long time, Wan Qiu felt a little uncomfortable.

Even if Wan Qiu would do his homework next to Chu Yigui.

Even when he had nothing to do, Wan Qiu would sit beside the desk and watch Chu Yigui.

He observed Chu Yigui more clearly than ever before.

Chu Yigui is so handsome.

He looks more mature than before.

He has thick eyelashes and good skin.

His fingers are very long.

His shoulders are broader than before.

Wan Qiu would not disturb Chu Yigui most of the time, and even on weekends, Yang Ze would take Wan Qiu to the dance studio.

So they hadn't touched like this for a long time.

When we intertwined our fingers again, the familiar warmth of my other half seemed to be transmitted to me.

Wan Qiu intentionally or unintentionally used his fingers to stroke the thin calluses that appeared on Chu Yigui's knuckles from holding the pen.

When the fingertips were rubbed, there was an itchy and numb feeling, which was proof of Chu Yigui's hard work.

Wan Qiu said inexplicably: "Yigui will definitely get the honor you deserve."

Not just the national top scorer in the college entrance examination, there is much more.

"I will also let you see me get them." Chu Yigui also smiled and made a promise to Wan Qiu.

When they arrived at the orphanage, the children there welcomed them excitedly.

And what’s different from before is that not only did they bring gifts to the children in the orphanage, but the children in the orphanage also prepared gifts for them.

Because Chu Yigui is going to take the college entrance examination, although the children don’t understand yet, the dean tells them that this is an important matter.

We rehearsed the program.

The chattering of tender children's voices all wished Chu Yigui good results.

They practiced really hard and were actually very nervous when they went on stage to perform.

It was obvious that Chu Yigui and Wan Qiu were the only spectators, along with the dean and the nurses.

Wan Qiu looked at the cute children performing their moves on the stage.

There were also healthier children who danced the ballroom dance he taught them.

There were signs of immaturity everywhere, but Wan Qiu saw that after the ice and snow faded away, the seeds that had been wrapped in snow for the entire winter heard the call of the spring breeze, and tender green shoots emerged from the black soil.

Young, active and beautiful.

Chu Yigui received a plastic transparent bottle.

Inside were paper cranes of various colors. The dean said that inside each crane was written a blessing wishing him good luck in the exam.

Wan Qiu knelt aside, watching Chu Yigui holding the plastic bottle with some curiosity.

The paper crane was actually folded very roughly, and Wan Qiu could see that.

Perhaps some children were too playful to wash their hands, leaving some dirty marks on the paper crane.

In a somewhat old orphanage, Chu Yigui placed the plastic bottle between his legs, with no intention of opening it.

Wan Qiu smiled when he saw Chu Yigui.

But that smile was like a blooming wild jasmine whose flowers were not very big but filled the surroundings with a very pleasant fragrance.

It is particularly eye-catching and beautiful.

While Chu Yigui was playing with the children, the dean sat next to Wan Qiu.

Wan Qiu looked at this slightly plump woman who was not short and therefore looked very majestic but was actually quite gentle.

"That child seems to be getting happier and happier. Is it because he has grown up?" The dean smiled at Wan Qiu. "Although I thought this child was very good before, he is still a little bit lacking compared to now."

Wan Qiu asked, "What's missing?"

"Well... emotions, a bit like a robot, can you understand?" asked the dean.

Wan Qiu shook his head.

Wan Qiu remembered the robot. He had seen it when he went to the Science and Technology Museum with Yang Xiaoyu.

He never thought that Chu Yigui was like a robot.

In Wan Qiu's memory, Chu Yigui has various very vivid images, and none of them looks like a robot.

The dean thought about it and suddenly laughed: "It seems that since you returned to the Chu family, he has changed a lot. Every time I come, I feel that he has grown up again."

Wan Qiu was at a loss, not knowing how to answer the dean.

However, the dean smiled beside Wan Qiu: "You must not understand. He is different in front of you."

The dean looked at Chu Yigui playing with other children. The children liked Chu Yigui before, and they liked him even more now.

Abandoned children are always sensitive and they will get close to people who are gentle and kind to them.

For example, Chu Yigui now.

"Maybe he should say thank you to you." The dean suddenly turned his head and smiled at Wan Qiu.

Wan Qiu didn't understand what the director said until he left the orphanage.

Even when Wan Qiu asked the dean, the dean did not tell him.

On the way back, Wan Qiu relayed the dean's words to Chu Yigui.

Chu Yigui looked at Wan Qiu.

Then he smiled.

Said: "Thank you."

Wan Qiu didn't know why Chu Yigui suddenly said thank you.

But at this moment, Chu Yigui seemed even more colorful than the thousand paper cranes folded with various colored papers and placed in the plastic bottle between them.

When Wan Qiu saw the bottle placed in Chu Yigui's room, he found a piece of red colored paper, wrote a blessing on it, and secretly put it into Chu Yigui's plastic bottle.

He hopes that his blessing to Yigui can bring good luck to Yigui through the red paper crane.

——

In the second semester of senior year, the school added evening self-study sessions for the senior students.

In order to allow students to learn better in school, participation is voluntary and safety must be ensured before they can attend evening self-study.

Even so, all senior high school students participated.

Including Chu Yigui and Zhou Peiyu.

Therefore, Wan Qiu had no one to go home with after school.

Even though Wan Qiu kept saying that he could go back by himself and that it only took a short time to get from the school to their nearby house, the other people in the Chu family were still worried.

So their housekeeping became a live-in housekeeping transferred from the residence, who would pick up Wanqiu from school every day.

Every day when Chu Yigui's evening study was about to end, Wan Qiu would ride his tricycle and go to pick up Chu Yigui with Jiazheng.

Jia Zheng would always sit on the back of Wan Qiu's tricycle, and from feeling awkward at first, she became accustomed to it.

Wanqiu’s tricycle is a small tricycle. Wanqiu has grown a lot taller, and the tricycle that used to be a bit big for him now seems a bit small.

But the quality is very good and it is easy to use.

So when Yang Ze proposed to buy him another tricycle, Wan Qiu refused.

Yang said that he would go to learn how to drive during the next summer vacation and could use the car at home.

Wan Qiu was also worried that the vehicle might break down if left unused, but Chu Zhang said that would not happen.

It was said that it was a limited edition collector's car, given to Wanqiu to play with.

Wan Qiu quietly asked Fu Zhengyu, and Fu Zhengyu asked Li Shuo. Li Shuo looked at the photos given by Wan Qiu and then realized the value of the car.

Even though Li Shuo felt that it was a waste of resources to leave the car gathering dust, Wan Qiu didn't have a driver's license.

Since they no longer had to wait for Chu Yi to return, Wan Qiu and the study committee member no longer had more time to chat.

The study committee member was different from Zhou Peiyu and Wang Yue. She was a very introverted girl, and the communication between them became much less.

However, Wan Qiu felt that the study committee member should be a friend within the scope of the relationship, not too close, but still a friend.

When Wan Qiu brings snacks for his classmates, there will also be some for the study committee member.

The study committee member would occasionally give Wan Qiu some snacks as a return gift.

However, the study committee member was not that close to other students in the class. He just gave back to Wan Qiu because he received gifts from Wan Qiu.

It's just that at this time everyone seems to have become interested in such a two-way interaction.

Some people even openly asked Wan Qiu whether he liked the study committee member.

Wan Qiu likes his friends. He never hides his affection for his friends. Wan Qiu's answer is "like".

Wan Qiu likes every one of his friends, and he will say so to anyone who asks him.

But... the situation seems to have become a little worse because of this.

The classmates all urged them to fall in love.

Wan Qiu still doesn't understand the definition of love, and with the previous experience of being expelled from school, how could he possibly agree?

Wan Qiu's refusal made his classmates even more upset.

Some girls even mocked the study committee member and said some unpleasant things.

"I was wondering why you were waiting in the classroom every time after school last semester. It turns out you wanted to pursue Chu Wanqiu. Do you think you are worthy of a family like Chu Wanqiu's?"

"I heard that you consider Chu Yigui your idol? You?"

Not only classmates from my class, but even students from other classes would gather at the classroom door.

"Look, that's the one sitting in the third row."

"Oh my god, she looks like this, where does she have such a face?"

"It is said that she likes Chu Yigui and Chu Wanqiu at the same time."

"Hahahahahahaha, ugly people are more likely to do weird things."

Wan Qiu didn't pay much attention to it at first. These people would not say such things in front of Wan Qiu.

But as things fermented, more and more voices began to appear, and they were inevitably heard by Wan Qiu.

Wan Qiu was shocked.

It took him a long time to realize that it was his love that caused the study committee member to be bullied.

When he saw people gathering at the door again and saying bad things about the study committee member, he suddenly rushed in front of them.

Wan Qiu tightly grasped the other person's arm.

"What did you just say?" Although Wan Qiu was thin, he had more exercise than other boys.

The opponent was clamped for a while and couldn't break free.

"Let me go." The other party would not just give in and struggle.

When an argument was about to break out, Wan Qiu was suddenly pulled by a strong force.

Although the force was not strong, Wan Qiu felt that his school uniform was strangling his neck as he staggered.

Wan Qiu turned around and saw the study committee member.

She cried.

There were tears on his chubby cheeks.

She reached up to wipe her eyes, and her glasses were lifted up. She adjusted her glasses again, looking very embarrassed.

Wan Qiu stood in front of the study committee member, at a loss.

"Don't bother me." After saying this, the study committee member turned and ran away.

"The person you like ran away, so why don't you chase her?"

Someone was talking nonsense nearby.

"Oh yeah, you look down on that fat guy, right, hahaha."

Wan Qiu didn't know what to do.

He turned around and saw those who were talking taking a few steps back and trying to leave Wan Qiu.

Wan Qiu didn't understand why every word these people said with a smile was like a sharp knife that could leave blood marks on the skin just by passing through the air.

Wan Qiu didn't know why the Study Committee was crying like that.

I don’t know what the study committee member felt when he was pulled out.

But at this moment, Wan Qiu seemed to remember something.

The past that was once chaotic in memory and sitting in the corner.

Wan Qiu suddenly remembered that this was bullying and violence.

He doesn't care about being bullied, nor does he get sad if others bully him.

But this is not the case for the study committee member.

Wan Qiu went after the study committee member.

But she went into the ladies room.

Wan Qiu stood at the door of the women's restroom, at a loss.

The girls coming out of the ladies' room looked at him in surprise.

Wan Qiu really wants to find Chu Yigui.

But Chu Yigui, who is in his third year of high school, is very busy even after classes.

Wan Qiu just stood there quietly. His classmates walked over one by one. Some of them looked at him, while some did not.

Until the bell rang for class, the people in the women's restroom hurried out and returned to the classroom, and Wan Qiu still didn't wait for the study committee member to come out.

"Chu Wanqiu? What are you doing here?" Suddenly, the voice of the head teacher came beside Wanqiu.

Wan Qiu turned his head and looked at the head teacher with an English textbook in his hand. He opened his mouth and called out, "Teacher."
