”Chen Shengxu, actually, the day you broke up with me, I complained to the 16-year-old you.”
”I said, the you of one year later is a liar, I said, I hate you to death, I said, I will ne...
I'm very scared, Gu Yu
The next day, Gu Yu got out of bed and thought about what had happened the day before.
It's so hot.
"Aaaaaah..." Gu Yu whispered in despair, "Gu Yu, Gu Yu, what did you do last night?! I'm so embarrassed! So incredibly shameful!!"
"I might as well not live anymore."
I calmed down for a long time before I went to wash up.
The first thing I saw when I opened my phone was a message from Chen Shengxu.
Xiao Chen: [Does your head hurt?]
My experience: [No headache, I feel great.]
Xiao Chen: [That's good.]
Student Chen: [Didn't you go to school today?]
Gu Yu's eyes widened, forgetting that he was supposed to go to school today.
I'm doomed, I'm doomed...
Hurry up and put on your school uniform before leaving the room. You'll see Mrs. Gu in the living room.
Madam Gu walked over and said, "You're awake. Is anything bothering you?"
"I'm fine, Mom. Take me to school, I'm late!"
"I'm taking the day off. Get some rest and I'll go this afternoon."
Gu Yu relaxed. "That's good. You scared me to death."
"rest assured."
Gu Yu told Chen Shengxu a few words and then skipped over to Madam Gu's side.
What are we having for lunch?
"Eat your favorite braised pork ribs, dry-pot cauliflower, and stir-fried chicken with potatoes," Madam Gu tapped her forehead, "Go and drink the honey water over there."
"Yes, sir!"

After finishing his morning exercises, Chen Shengxu lay down on his desk, too lazy to move.
Just then, the homeroom teacher came in to talk about the basketball game.
"This isn't organized by our school, it's organized by the city. But you have to start by competing in your school, then your school will compete against the winning teams from other schools, and then participate in the city's competition. If you're interested, contact the sports committee to register. Once you've done that, the sports committee will give me your name."
Yu Cihuan hooked Chen Sheng's neck around his head and asked, "Are you going or not?"
"Of course I'll go!"
Later, because they needed to practice basketball, they stopped picking up Gu Yu as often.
After Gu Yu learned about this, he said to him, "Keep it up, Chen Shengxu! The championship is yours!"
"Um!"
*
They competed in the school competition for four days, and Chen Shengxu and his team qualified based on their strength.
Little Rabbit: [Congratulations!!]
Childish brat: [Hehe...]
Little Rabbit: [Next up is the competition against other schools, right? We heard from the weekend that they're really strong, so be careful and don't get hurt.]
Childish brat: [Don't worry, who am I!]
*
That night, Gu Yu told Chen Shengxu that he should go home first and not come to pick him up because his English teacher had kept him behind to correct his English essay.
As a result, he was hit by a motorcycle when he left the school gate.
She was admitted to the hospital that very night.
Chen Shengxu couldn't contact Gu Yu that night, and asked Yu Cihuan if he could get in touch with him, but he couldn't either.
I started to panic.
I went to her apartment complex, but I didn't see any lights on.
He had no choice but to go home.
I didn't sleep all night.
The next day, Yu Cihuan was startled to see his dark circles and bloodshot eyes.
"What were you doing last night? Did you rob a bank?"
“I think something happened to Gu Yu, but I can’t get in touch with her. It’s so frustrating,” he said, pulling at his hair. “Ugh!”
I received Gu Yu's message around noon.
Little Rabbit: [I'm fine! I just didn't see the road on my way home last night and got hit by a motorcycle. No fractures, no serious injuries, just abrasions and a slight concussion. Don't worry!!!]
Childish brat: [What! Which hospital are you in? Can I come see you?]
Gu Yu thought for a moment. If he didn't come, Gu Yu knew he wouldn't be able to concentrate on his afternoon classes. So it was better to let him come and take a look so he could relax and focus on his studies.
My response: 【Okay.】
My address: [Address].
Upon receiving the address, Chen Shengxu rushed out and hailed a taxi to the First People's Hospital.
He pushed open the door and saw Gu Yu sitting on the bed, and tears suddenly streamed down his face.
"Gu Yu...it must hurt a lot..."
"Don't cry, come here, Chen Shengxu."
Chen Shengxu obediently went over and sat on the edge of the bed, sniffling. "What should I do? It hurts so much... I should have picked you up last night, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
"No!" Gu Yu said to him in a serious tone, "It should be that it's a good thing you didn't come to pick me up last night, otherwise you might have gotten hurt too."
"Although it hurts a lot, I'm just glad you didn't pick me up last night. You're okay, it doesn't hurt," Gu Yu said, wiping his tears with a tissue. "Don't cry~ I'm fine now, don't worry."
“I’m terrified, Gu Yu.”
Gu Yu cupped his face in his hands. "Look at me carefully. I'm fine now, don't be afraid, Chen Shengxu. I won't get into trouble. I will live well and stay with you."
"Hmm..." Chen Shengxu pouted and started crying again.
Mr. Gu and his wife stood at the door of the ward, not going in to disturb them.
Old Gu was speechless. What's that brat crying about?
They went inside after Chen Shengxu left.
Old Gu complained, "Everyone says women are made of water, but I think he's the one who's made of water, he cries so much."
"dad!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
Chen Shengxu went to the school in the afternoon to send a message to Ms. Jiang.
Childish kid: [Mom, what kind of soup is best for someone with a concussion?]
Mom: [Fish soup, please. What's wrong? Did you get a concussion? I'll call in sick for you.]
Childish Guy: [It wasn't me, it was Gu Yu. She was hit by a car last night and got a concussion. I wanted to bring her some soup.]
Mom: [You're not speaking clearly.]
Childish brat: [Sorry~]
As soon as he got home from school in the afternoon, he ran straight to the kitchen.
When Ms. Jiang saw him come in, she said, "I put the soup in a thermos on the coffee table. Take it over there."
"Mom!" Chen Shengxu exclaimed with delight.
"Alright, go ahead."
Chen Shengxu hugged Ms. Jiang tightly, "Thank you, Mom, I'm leaving now!"
"Remember to come back for dinner!"
"knew!"
Ms. Jiang smiled helplessly, "You brat."
Chen Shengxu carried the thermos to the hospital.
Gu Yu saw him: "What is this?"
Chen Shengxu set up the small table and opened the thermos. "Crucian carp soup. My mom says this is good for concussions."
Gu Yu took a sip and his eyes lit up: "Delicious!"
"My mom made it."
Gu Yu's eyes widened and his mouth opened.
"Don't worry~ My parents know. I asked her what kind of soup I wanted this afternoon, and she had it already made as soon as I got home. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come so quickly."
"Please thank the auntie for me, it's really delicious! I'll definitely finish it!"
"My mom will be very happy to hear that."
Gu Yu originally wanted to share with Chen Shengxu, but Chen Shengxu insisted that he would not drink, so she had to finish it all by herself.
"By the way, I'm playing against your school tomorrow."
"Go for it! You'll succeed! I believe in you!"
"Yes! I'm sure I'll win."
However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is harsh.
Chen Shengxu and his team lost by one point, and their journey ended there.
Although we lost, everyone gave it their all, so we still have to have a meal.
Childish Guy: [We lost, but it was a lot of fun. They said they're going to eat, I'll come see you later tonight.]
Little Rabbit: [It's okay to lose, as long as you're happy.]
Little Rabbit: [Eat well and make up for all the energy you used today. I'm waiting for you.]
*
Chen Shengxu raised his glass, stood up, and said, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. You guys enjoy your meal." He then drank the beverage in his glass.
Where are you going?
Yu Cihuan: "Look at Gu Yu."
"Oh, then you should go quickly."
Chen Shengxu told Yu Cihuan about Gu Yu's accident. When they asked Chen Shengxu what had been going on lately, Yu Cihuan told them that there was no point in hiding it.
Chen Shengxu went to the hospital, but they didn't talk for long this time because Gu Yu urged him to go home.
"I have to go to school tomorrow, so I should head back soon. Besides, I'll be discharged from the hospital soon, so it won't make a difference if I stay a little longer."
"Okay, then you need to slow down."
"Okay, okay."
"See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."

Gu Yu was discharged from the hospital a week later.
I became extremely busy, catching up on homework, reviewing class notes, and attending several classes.
She slumped onto the table, "So tired—"
"I never want to get sick again, I can't keep up with all the health problems," she said, then realized that it wasn't right, since it's impossible for a person to never get sick, so she changed her words, "I hope I can take a vacation when I get sick in the future, so that it won't interfere with my health. Thank you."
She's been a bit out of sorts lately, and Chen Shengxu knows that, so every time he calls her he tries to cheer her up, tell her to relax, and not put too much pressure on herself.
Gu Yu saw a video of someone bungee jumping and sent it to Chen Shengxu.
My message: [I want to go bungee jumping, it looks so exhilarating!]
Childish Kid: [Sure! Let's do it together.]
The next second, Gu Yu saw a Taoist priest saying that bungee jumping when life is stable and one feels happy will disrupt the balance and is not good.
She immediately decided not to go.
Childish Kid: [Then we can go out and shout at night when no one's around to release stress.]
My answer: 【Sure! Let's go this weekend!】
Childish brat: [Okay!]
As agreed, they went to the riverbank at midnight on Sunday.
Gu Yu cupped his hand to his mouth, took a deep breath, and then shouted, "Ahhhhhh—"
Chen Shengxu saw her smile and joined in the shout.
After shouting the last word, Gu Yu turned to look at him and exclaimed, "That felt so good!"
"Indeed, even if there's pressure, we can do it again."
"Um!"
"Alright, let's go home. Tomorrow will be a day full of energy!"
"Let's go."

During English class, we had a short quiz. After class, the get out of class representative wrote all the answers except for the essay on the blackboard.
Yu Cihuan: "Hey, how many did you get wrong?"
"You should ask me how many I got right."
"How many did you get right?"
"10 hahahahahahahahahaha..."
Yu Cihuan was speechless, and then rolled his eyes.
"Idiot."
"How many did you get right?"
"11."
Chen Shengxu was speechless. "Then what do you want to say?"
"Hehehe..."
"Hey, did you get a new bicycle?"
How did you know?
"Because I didn't see your bicycle when I passed by the bike shed today."
“My dad brought it to me yesterday, and then he left again,” Chen Shengxu said. “He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.”
"It's all for supporting my family anyway."
“Yes, he works very hard too. He’s so busy, but he still remembered to get me a new car,” Chen Shengxu said, pausing the holes for the letters on the test paper with his pen. “But I was planning to buy a new one next month anyway.”
"fine."
"uh-huh."
When he went to pick up Gu Yu, Gu Yu also noticed that he had a new bicycle.
He asked, "Is it pretty?"
"Handsome!"
"That's good! Let's go home!"
During the long break the next day, Chen Shengxu secretly took out his phone to admire Gu Yu's beautiful photos.
"Oh, the bunny is so cute~ So beautiful~ A goddess has descended! I love it!" he muttered to himself.
Someone passed by him and heard him muttering something incomprehensible.
"What are you saying? All that babbling on and on."
Chen Shengxu showed him his phone screen directly, "You're praising Gu Yu's good looks, isn't he handsome!"
"It really is beautiful, you're a lucky guy!" The last sentence sounded a bit like he was gritting his teeth.
"whee."
Yu Cihuan asked him, "What do you do on your monthly leave?"
"Playing games and doing homework with Gu Yu."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't even rank among you."
Chen Shengxu looked up at him and said seriously, "Brothers are all in my heart." He then thumped his chest.
"Pack."
Chen Shengxu touched his nose and turned his head away from him.
Yu Cihuan rolled his eyes.
