Chapter 103 What will we give next? (The male lead appears)
They talked for about ten minutes before it ended. As everyone prepared to head to the sixth floor, Gu Yin looked at the tall building and waved her hand, saying, "I'm not going up. It's too hot. I'll wait for you down here, under the tree across the street! You guys go ahead!" Without waiting for anyone else to speak, she quickly ran out.
Are you kidding me? The sixth floor! There's no elevator! Climbing up there would be half dead! Although she was reborn and her body is better than before, her soul is still that soul that would never take the stairs if there's an elevator, and would never live above the third floor if there isn't!
When Li Mengxin heard Gu Yin's words, she turned around and saw that Gu Yin had already disappeared from sight.
He chuckled helplessly, "Everyone gets lazy after a summer vacation! You need to stay at school to get more exercise!"
Gu Yin had no idea her family was talking about her. She ran to the small garden opposite the boys' dormitory and sat down under a big tree.
Gu Yin turned around and looked around, muttering, "The municipal key school is really different. It even has a small garden with roses, camellias, Chinese roses, night-blooming jasmine, kapok, magnolias, and everything else. Tsk tsk tsk, so extravagant!"
In her past life, she attended a junior high school in the county. The campus was bare, and even the canteen was shared with the junior high school next door. She had to go to the canteen to get water for showering. The dormitories were all eight-person rooms with only two electric fans and nothing else. She had to bring her own bedding and buy her own eating utensils. Sometimes she didn't have time to take her bowl back to the dormitory and would leave it in the canteen after eating. The next day, it would be gone, taken by the boys who didn't live on campus. She lost five bowls in two years!
"Excuse me, are you a freshman in high school?" a male voice came from the side.
Gu Yin turned around and saw a group of tall, handsome boys wearing white short-sleeved shirts, black knee-length shorts, black sneakers, and brown baseball caps.
Seeing that he was looking at her, Gu Yin shook her head: "No."
The man walked over, stopped a meter away from Gu Yin, and sat down: "So you're a transfer student? Hello, I'm Qin Heng from Class 1 of the second-year high school's elite class. Which class did you transfer to? The international class?" There were no transfer students in either of the elite classes.
So he's a top student. Gu Yin shook her head again and said in a cool tone, "No, I'm not a transfer student. I'm a family member of a freshman and I came with him."
Qin Heng was stunned. He hadn't expected this outcome. He looked at Gu Yin's fair face, lowered his eyelids, and then smiled again, "So I misunderstood. Family member? Do you mean family or boyfriend?"
Gu Yin felt he was overstepping his bounds, and since they didn't know each other, she gestured and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Seeing that she was unwilling to answer, Qin Heng was a little disappointed, but still smiled gently and shook his head: "It's nothing. I just saw you sitting here alone and thought you were lost, so I came to check on you. I'm sorry to bother you. But you don't seem very old. If you take the high school entrance exam, I hope you can choose our school. Our school is pretty good in many ways. I hope we can meet again in the future. Goodbye!"
After Qin Heng finished speaking, he smiled and then walked towards the dormitory building without disturbing Gu Yin any longer.
Gu Yin looked at his back. She had thought he was the kind of arrogant and self-righteous person, but she didn't expect him to be someone who knew how to respect others.
“How could someone who can be a top student be like a scoundrel like Xiang Yang?!” Gu Yin smiled and then put the person out of her mind.
Half an hour later, Gu Shu and the others came downstairs. Gu Yin got up and went over to them after seeing them.
"Have you been waiting long?" Gu Shu asked with a smile.
Gu Yin shook her head: "No, I only sat for a short while. By the way, are you going back today?"
"Yes, I'll come back tomorrow afternoon. I'll clean the dorm while I'm at it."
Gu Yin nodded. If it were her, she would have replied too.
As everyone walked out of the school, Li Mengxin looked at them and said, "Since you've all come to the city, why don't you go buy some clothes for the kids? It's the start of the school year, so new clothes are a tradition for us."
Everyone agreed and boarded the bus. Ten minutes later, the bus stopped in the city center.
The city was as bustling as ever. Gu Yin turned around and pointed to a shopping mall not far away: "Let's go there. It looks like it's newly opened. The sign at the entrance says it has everything!"
The group walked over. The mall was huge. The first floor was full of electronics, the second floor was a supermarket, the third floor was a clothing market, the fourth floor was a bookstore, the fifth floor was a wedding dress shop, and the basement was a food court.
As Gu Qinglang looked around, he said, "We originally wanted to open a shop like this, but the area hasn't developed well yet, and the workers nearby don't need these things. We also didn't have enough money to make it like this, so we gave up. But our idea is not bad. The stalls in the wholesale market are almost rented out, and it will be completed in two months. At that time, our area will be very lively, both at night and during the day! People have even come to ask if we're selling the partitioned-off housing. We'll remember what A-Yin said, none of it is for sale!"
Gu Yin nodded. It was the right thing to not sell. In another year, the land there would be expropriated.
Everyone went straight up to the third floor. Since they were buying summer clothes, it was easy to buy them. The Gu family bought sportswear for all four children: two sets of short-sleeved shirts and long pants, and two sets of short-sleeved shirts and shorts. The boys got blue-trimmed ones, and the girls got red-trimmed ones. They finished buying everything in just half an hour.
"I'll embroider your names on your clothes later, so you don't wear the wrong ones," Li Xiang said with a smile, looking at Gu Hua and Gu Yin.
Gu Yin thought it was a good idea, so she didn't refuse.
After shopping, Li Xiang and Li Mengxin wanted to browse around some more, but Gu Hua pointed upstairs and said, "I want to go upstairs and read some books. If there's anything I want to buy, I'll buy it."
Gu Shu had the same idea, so she looked at Li Mengxin and said, "Then Mom, you can look around. Just give me a call when you're ready to leave!"
So the adults and children separated. Gu Yin and the other three went up to the fourth floor, while the adults went down to the first floor to look at the appliances.
The entire fourth floor is a bookstore; it's huge, probably over a thousand square meters. It's an established brand, so it certainly has the resources!
"I'll go check out the tools. What about you?" Gu Yin pointed to the row of tools not far away.
"I'm going to look at some reference books," Gu Hua said, walking towards another spot.
"I want to go check out basketball. I can play some after school tonight," Gu Shu said as soon as he came in and saw a wall full of all kinds of basketballs in the distance. He had been itching to play for a while.
After Gu Shu left, Gu Yin looked at Gu Le and said, "Then let's go together, Le."
There was nothing that could be done about her small size, so Gu Le nodded and said, "Okay, big sister."
Gu Yin led her people to the tool section. The amount of draft paper, notebooks, and pens needed for the third year of junior high school was much more than that needed for the first and second years. She didn't want to have to go and buy them again and again, which would be too much trouble. It would be better to buy them all at once!
Gu Le couldn't resist looking at all the different kinds of pens, while Gu Yin wanted to look at notebooks. Since the two were in the same spot, they turned back to back and looked at their own notebooks.
Gu Shu took ten sketchbooks, each about the size of an A sheet of paper, filled with blank paper without any lines. They could be used as notebooks or draft paper. She also took a few notebooks to use as exercise books. She was carrying quite a lot. Gu Yin put her things on a table not far away, which had a basket on it.
After putting it down, Gu Yin turned back to look at the pen.
Jianggao starts school tomorrow, and Chu Yan realized that he had almost used up his pens and notebooks, so he came to the bookstore after dinner.
After buying his things, he remembered that Ye Tiantian had taken his basketball from home, so he turned around and went to the basketball section. He picked out a basketball he liked and left. Anyway, he had brought it back from school, so he could just pretend it was stolen. It was almost used up anyway.
Just as I was about to go downstairs, I saw a familiar figure appear in the tool area across the street.
Chu Yan paused, and seeing her put her things away, she returned to carefully select pens, seemingly dissatisfied with several she picked out.
Chu Yan lowered his eyes. After thinking of something, he quickly ran downstairs to pay the bill. He said something to the cashier, who gave him an extra bag. After paying, he quickly ran back upstairs. Seeing that the girl was still there, he took out a piece of paper at the bottom of the stairs, quickly wrote something down, then walked to the table, put a small bag in the girl's basket, and then left quickly like a coward.
After Gu Le chose his pen, he stood up, glanced at the opposite side, and was about to turn around when he froze for a moment before quickly running towards the stairs.
Gu Yin was startled: "A-Le, where are you going?!"
Gu Le ran to the stairs and looked down, but there was no one there. He turned back in disappointment.
Seeing his expression, Gu Yin asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Gu Le shook his head: "It's nothing. I thought my brother hadn't waited for us to go down. I must have been mistaken. Let's go." He must have been mistaken. That person should be in Beijing right now, how could he be here?
Gu Yin knew he had his own secrets, so she didn't say anything more.
After taking her things back to the basket, Gu Yin was about to pick up the notebook when she saw a small bag inside. She opened it and found a fountain pen inside. Gu Yin wondered if someone had put it in the wrong place.
Inside, there was a note that read: "This pen is quite good; I'm used to using it. I've already paid for it, and the receipt is in the bag. Please keep it safe."
Gu Yin blinked, and for some reason thought of that cup of coffee she had that morning in S City.
"001, is it him/her again?"
001 remained silent.
Gu Yin smiled, and without saying anything, she put the pen away.
Gu Yin muttered again, "Another kind person, tsk tsk tsk, so they're from the same place. I wonder when we'll finally meet. 001, when do you think we'll meet? By the way, you said they gave me coffee last time, and a pen this time, what will they give me next? What should I do? I'm kind of looking forward to it~"
001 rolled her eyes and remained silent.
I listened to music, and my mood improved noticeably when I went downstairs.
Seeing her like that, then looking at the dozen or so draft papers and notebooks in her hand, and then at her own two foreign classics, Gu Shu thought for a moment, then ran back to get a few notebooks, and went downstairs with a numb expression. "Is this even fair?" she thought. "What if I work this hard and still don't grow tall?!"
