Chapter 45 With a desk lamp, a black pen, and a few pages of white paper, Gu Aoyu and Xu Luxi sat at the table and wrote furiously.
With a desk lamp, a black pen, and a few pages of white paper, Gu Ao Yu and Xu Luxi sat at the table and wrote furiously.
She knew every word in the question, but she just couldn't figure it out. She didn't know where she had gone wrong.
Gu Ao Yu angrily picked up the pen and calculated again with the numerical values. The dense handwriting filled the entire piece of rough paper, but the result was still not valid.
Anger exploded in her chest like a ignited gunpowder barrel. She wanted to throw her pen on the table, but she glanced at Xu Luxi who was working on the questions beside her and quickly gave up the idea.
His white fingertips grabbed the paper roll, tore it off quickly, crumpled it into a ball, and smashed it hard against the wall. He finished it in one go and was still panting with an unsatisfied look.
"What's wrong? Can't you solve the problem?" Even if the noise was very quiet, Xu Luxi still noticed it. She turned around and asked in a soft voice.
Gu Ao Yu rested her chin on the table sullenly, with a sour face and no words. Her whole body showed that she was going to die of anger.
A hand gently fell on her fluffy head and smoothed out her frizzy hair.
Xu Luxi imitated Gu Aoyu's behavior, resting his chin on the table, about a foot away from Gu Aoyu. His gentle eyes fell on Gu Aoyu's profile.
Even without saying a word, it was hard to ignore. Gu Ao Yu pursed her lips and was about to raise her hand to slap away the hand that was playing tricks on her head, but she couldn't help but think of Xu Luxi's watery eyes. She gave up in annoyance and turned her head away.
The sticky breath brushed the back of her neck vaguely. Xu Luxi didn't say anything and moved closer. Gu Aoyu's already fierce face became even fiercer. She knew that if she didn't say anything, Xu Luxi would stare at her like this all night.
"Yes, I just can't do it." She turned her head and raised her voice slightly, unconsciously becoming a little angry.
Xu Luxi was stunned for a moment, with a trace of hurt in her eyes, but she still smiled gently and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, these questions are indeed difficult, take your time."
Gu Ao Yu lowered his brows in annoyance, and the hostility on his face disappeared unconsciously.
"I'm not saying this to you. I've been listening to the lessons these days, but I just can't figure it out."
Xu Luxi sighed, stood up, picked up the paper ball that Gu Ao Yu had thrown aside, flattened it, and took a piece of draft paper to write down the process for her.
The soft light shines on the girl's face, making her look unusually calm.
Gu Ao Yu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and hummed in a fearless manner: "Sister."
"Yeah." The corners of his lips lifted up slightly, and a smile quickly spread across his face like the surface of a lake brushed by a spring breeze. Xu Luxi responded softly, and he didn't look hurt at all.
Gu Ao Yu became even more depressed, because she was in the wrong. She secretly glared at Xu Luxi when she lowered her head to write.
Clearly, according to the age of this life plus her previous life, she is older than Xu Luxi. But now, Xu Luxi, who knows nothing, is calculating based on her age in this life and forcing her to call her that.
She also didn't know why Xu Luxi was so keen on this title.
She is obviously the older sister.
Gu Ao Yu, who dyed his hair back to black and took off his lip piercing, tilted his head to look at Xu Luxi. The white light sprinkled on his angular face, making him look inexplicably obedient.
"Okay." After Xu Luxi solved it in a few tries, he drew out the main formulas and patiently explained them to Gu Ao Yu.
It was like a sudden enlightenment. Gu Ao Yu picked up the pen and calculated it again, and the answer was correct.
Her pupils dilated instantly, her eyes shone brightly, and she said with some emotion: "You are amazing. You solved such a difficult problem in one go. I just couldn't do it no matter what." Her eyebrows drooped unconsciously, and she became depressed again as she spoke.
"But Ao Yu is also very powerful. He can scare away all those thugs with just one punch. He is the most powerful one."
Listening to Xu Luxi's sincere admiration, Gu Ao Yu raised his eyebrows proudly and agreed without hesitation, with his two little canine teeth faintly visible at the edge of his lips.
Xu Luxi finally felt relieved and marked some of her notes from the first year of high school for Gu Ao Yu to memorize.
The first round of review will begin in a while. The first round is a systematic review, which basically goes over the basic knowledge again. Ao Yu just takes this opportunity to learn it.
First understand the basic knowledge concepts and get the easiest scores, then learn to solve some mid-level questions. As for high-level questions, don't waste time.
If you master all of these, it should be no problem to barely pass the first-tier line.
Xu Luxi lowered his head and wrote down Gu Ao Yu's future plans. He wrote a long piece of paper and posted it right in front of Gu Ao Yu's desk.
Time flies, two semesters have passed, and there is only one short semester left before the college entrance examination.
"Hurry up, we're going to be late. The teacher said to focus on the key points in the first class." Gu Ao Yu, who had a refreshing short haircut, grabbed Xu Luxi's arm and rushed to the classroom in a hurry.
Xu Luxi stumbled a bit when Gu Aoyu grabbed him, and complained while panting: "It's all because of you. You didn't get up even after I called you several times."
"Wrong, wrong. I learned too late yesterday. Stop scolding me and run."
"Wait... wait a moment. Run slower."
The two hurriedly followed the teacher into the classroom, and without exception received a stern stare.
What followed were boring classes and boring exercises, like a painful cycle that trapped all the energetic people in this purgatory, where they were fried in oil and burned by fire, unable to be reborn.
The piles of books and test papers surrounded every desk, and the classroom was eerily quiet, with only the rustling sound of the pen tip on the paper. My joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were all affected by the piece of paper in front of me.
Those who got high scores were happy, and those who got low scores were sad. Many people broke down and sobbed. It was as if the score in front of them could determine a person's life.
Ding ding ding, the bell for the end of get out of class rang quietly at 10:30. Gu Ao Yu rubbed his sore wrist. Some classmates left one after another. The classroom was still silent. The white light shone on those students who stayed there.
Gu Ao Yu was silent for a while, packed his schoolbag, and left with Xu Luxi.
The coolness, wrapped in the fragrance of plants, seeped into my heart. I went to the playground and saw the shadows of senior high school students running and roaring even at this time. Gu Ao Yu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense back relaxed a little.
She and Xu Luxi put down their schoolbags and stood on the track, the breeze brushing their cheeks and their hair flying freely.
They waved their arms and raised and lowered their feet rapidly. The sound of the soles of their shoes rubbing against the track was even and rhythmic.
As his steps rose and fell, Gu Ao Yu swung his arms and ran faster and faster like a wild horse, leaving only a black afterimage.
Sweat gradually soaked her clothes, and slid down her cheeks and forehead. But she was completely unaware, and opened her arms to welcome the strong wind. In the distance, the classroom was still bright, and the teenagers were writing furiously and breathing heavily.
Putting aside the endless test papers and the ups and downs of grades, under this vast night sky, there are only the free wind and the young man running wantonly.
Gu Ao Yu opened his mouth wide and shouted wantonly.
Aaaaahhh!!!
Burning heat spread throughout his limbs and bones. Gu Ao Yu slowly stopped, breathing heavily and laughing uncontrollably.
A slender figure passed by her, and the long black hair inexplicably brushed against her nose, which was a little itchy, with an especially familiar fragrance.
Gu Ao Yu sneered, and the waves seemed to be dancing with warm spring days, sprinkling freely on Xu Luxi who slowed down his pace and waited for her to catch up.
"Xu Luxi." Gu Ao Yu made a trumpet shape with his hands and called her name loudly.
Xu Luxi curled the corners of his mouth and looked back suddenly.
Gu Ao Yu stood where he was and shouted again.
"Xu Luxi!"
The moonlight sprinkled on her angular face and shattered in her black eyes full of stars. In the hazy light, the boy's face was particularly gentle, like petals dancing in the wind in March, gently falling into Xu Luxi's heartstrings.
"Gu..." Xu Luxi just opened her mouth and wanted to call out her name like Gu Ao Yu, but she saw the motionless boy raised his eyebrows, trotted to her side, and enveloped the moonlight above her head.
The dark eyes reflected Xu Luxi's bright face. Xu Luxi stopped talking for unknown reasons and did nothing, just staring at her silently.
At that moment, she didn't think about anything, didn't calculate anything, just looked at her quietly. She thought, if she was allowed to die like this, she would be willing to do so.
The sweaty teenagers in school uniform stood there blankly, the breeze blowing across their cheeks, looking a little silly.
Gu Ao Yu turned his head first, stood beside Xu Luxi, and motioned her to walk around with her.
Xu Luxi nodded and took the lead in taking a step with her left foot. Gu Ao Yu followed her movements and also took a step with his left foot, swinging out his left arm. Xu Luxi looked at her in surprise, she didn't even know when Gu Ao Yu started to walk with his hands and feet together.
She curled her eyes but didn't laugh out loud. As she swung her left foot, her right pinky was gently hooked by another pinky. Seeing that Xu Luxi didn't resist, Gu Ao Yu held her pinky.
Boom, boom, boom, her heart was beating wildly. Xu Luxi pursed her lips slightly and tilted her head to look at Gu Aoyu. Gu Aoyu looked straight ahead, her profile tense, a drop of sweat sliding down her forehead. She seemed to be aware of Xu Luxi's gaze and swallowed nervously.
Xu Luxi hurriedly looked away, her whole body froze, and a light crimson color slowly crept up her neck.
She slowed down her movements and breathed a sigh of relief. They had done more intimate things before. Why, a simple action that didn't even count as holding hands made her heart beat so fast. So uncomfortable.
The little finger moved slightly and scratched Gu Ao Yu's palm, and Gu Ao Yu's little finger subconsciously loosened a little. Xu Luxi took advantage of the gap and went up, his soft palm came forward and held Gu Ao Yu's palm.
She also stared ahead, saying nothing, with sweat dripping from her forehead. The two clasped hands held the originally cool air, which became hot and inexplicably damp.
They still didn't let go, just held hands and walked under the starry night sky.
