Chapter 3
Xiao Yuanshan whistled as he slowly walked back from the cafeteria. He saw a group of boys lying on the balcony, looking at him pitifully.
Drawling out his tone: "Brother Xiao——"
Xiao Yuanshan understood and sighed, "Look at you guys, why did you bother him for no reason? When Si'er gets angry, he can't even kick a donkey."
After saying this, he was amused by his own success and raised his hand to invite everyone in: "Alright, he's just a straight A who's been single forever. Let's not bother with him. Let's go, Lao Du will be here soon..."
School officially starts tomorrow, September 1st.
But before this, senior high school students had already made up one month of classes.
Weekends were taken up for entrance exams, leaving me with no time off. Even the donkeys in the production team weren't exploited this way.
This evening self-study session was bound to make everyone's mood uneasy. As soon as Lao Du stepped into the classroom and was about to ask the class representative to project the answers to the opening exam, he saw everyone looking at him with bright eyes.
"What?" Lao Du raised his eyebrows. "Are you going to rebel?"
Someone shouted from below: "Watch a movie!"
Then a torrent of people started to say, "Watch a movie! Watch a movie! Watch a movie!"
The noise got more and more heated. Old Du threw the answer on the desk with a stern face. When everyone was worried, he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, let's show a movie tonight. It's the last time to relax. You won't be able to watch it again in the future."
Everyone cheered, "Long live Lao Du."
Lao Du asked the squad leader to come up and pick a movie. After much deliberation, they decided on a recently released foreign science fiction film. Lao Du stood at the door for a while with his hands behind his back, then asked the biology representative to go to his office to count the information, and he went back to his office to smoke a cigarette.
As soon as Lao Du left, the class was in even greater chaos.
However, in order to prevent the lingering Director Liu from coming to the second shift again, the noise gradually disappeared as soon as the movie dragon logo appeared.
Gu Fang didn't watch many movies, but this was his first time experiencing this kind of thing at school, and he found it novel. However, he had something else in mind, and he repeatedly reached for the toast in the hole in the table, then frowned and stuffed it back in, as if he was pondering some difficult problem.
Are you really not hungry if you don’t eat dinner?
The lights in the classroom were turned off, with only the projector flashing a dim light.
Gu Fang caught a glimpse of Lu Si rubbing his hair and raising his head. His expression was unclear in the darkness. He put on headphones, supported his chin with one hand for a while, and then closed his eyelids again.
The pale blue light fell on his thin eyelids, flowing like waves, with a mesmerizing beauty of light and shadow. Gu Fang had always been fascinated by light, shadow and color. His palms itched, and he had an urge to keep this picture on paper forever.
And there is sound.
To avoid complaints from other classes, the movie volume was not very loud, and by the time it reached the last row it had become just background noise for the boys playing games.
The chirping of cicadas among the green vines outside the window, the whirring of the air conditioner behind him, and the light breathing of his deskmate together make up all of Gu Fang's memories of that summer.
Finally, it was no longer white, silent, and smelled of disinfectant.
After the bell rang, people from Class 1 and Class 3 kept "passing by".
Some people even leaned against the window to watch the movie: "The science class is really different. We can watch a movie after the exam. I'm so jealous!"
In fact, you should give it to me when you say "thank you" at the beginning.
Gu Fang stuffed the toast back into the hole in the table and stared at the movie in frustration.
I regret it.
He took out a bottle of AD calcium, slowly tore open the straw, and thrust it in hard.
"Gu Fang, Gu Fang." Someone called softly.
Turning around, Xiao Yuanshan raised his chin and pointed to the back door: "Someone is looking for you outside."
Gu Fang looked over and saw Le Jiayu waving, with a boy from Class 11 following behind him.
As he walked out, sucking on the bottle of AD calcium, Le Jiayu stuffed two cups of milk tea into his hands without saying a word: "One cup of tapioca pearls is for you, and the other one is for your deskmate."
Gu Fang blinked, a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Did you give this to me?"
Didn’t this guy say bad things about Lu Si during dinner?
"I gave you that cup." Le Jiayu signaled the blushing boy with her eyes. Gu Fang smelled the faint sweet scent on him, the omega's pheromone, "Here, he gave you the other cup."
Gu Fang suppressed his aversion to the pheromones, and with a calm expression, he nodded and asked the boy, "Don't you want to say anything?"
The boy smiled shyly: "No need, I put a note on it. Thank you very much."
Gu Fang hummed and paused: "It's okay."
After he returned to the classroom, the boy tugged at Le Jiayu's sleeve, his face flushed. "Wow, Le Jiayu, your childhood friend is really good-looking! And so tall! I've never seen an Omega this tall, maybe 1.8 meters tall? And he's so cool, just like my idol, both of them are abstinent!"
This male god is extremely short-sighted, and is Lu Si.
Le Jiayu snorted in disdain: "Don't compare my Fangfang with that guy. No one can compare."
"However," Le Jiayu's eyes also revealed some doubts, "He is not usually so aloof. It's strange. What happened today?"
When passing Class 3, a few boys were shooting basketballs at the back door. One of them was leaning against the door playing with his phone. Suddenly he looked up and called out to them, "Le Jiayu, I have something to ask you."
"If you have something to say, just say it." Le Jiayu glanced at them with disgust as they were blocking her way.
"Did Gu Fang transfer to our school and is in Class 2?" Jing Xingye looked up, the light from his cell phone dimly shining on his chin.
"Yeah." Yue Jiayu said, "Have you seen the school forum?"
"Within dinner time, the post went viral." Jing Xingye raised his phone, eyebrows raised, "Why didn't he go to a foreign middle school after being discharged from the hospital, but came to this crappy school?"
Le Jiayu was about to reply, "What do you care?" when he suddenly remembered the boys in the last row who had all looked over at him when he'd gone to Class 2 to look for Gu Fang. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that Class 2, one of the science and engineering classes, had so many idiot A's.
Le Jiayu immediately changed her tone: "Since you're next door, please help me take care of Fangfang, otherwise I will report your parents."
Jing Xingye sneered and ignored him.
Le Jiayu clenched her fists and threatened, "If you dare to bully my Fangfang, I will beat you up."
Jing Xingye spun his phone around, his fingers trembling as he recalled his experiences growing up. "If I dared, my parents would have cut off my living expenses long ago, right? And Gu Fang's personality... whoever dares to mess with him is looking for death?"
Le Jiayu thought so too: "I don't think you would dare."
In their circle, if anyone dared to make Gu Fang unhappy, without waiting for Gu Fang's parents to say anything, their own parents would make those rascals cry out loud, and then they would be grabbed by the collar and forced to apologize in person the next day.
after all……
Can't afford to offend.
When Gu Fang came back, he saw a group of people crowding around his seat.
To be more precise, it was in the very corner. Next to the floor-standing air conditioner was a pink storage box with small wheels that could slide around. Gu Fang immediately guessed it belonged to his deskmate.
At that moment, everyone gathered around the storage box, searching for all kinds of snacks. There were potato chips, biscuits, and various drinks. Gu Fang also saw someone holding a bucket of instant noodles. He scanned the QR code in the storage box and raised his phone to Lu Si, "Brother Lu, scan it! We're out of spicy beef. Remember to help me get more tomorrow!"
Gu Fang looked at it curiously for a while, pulled out a chair, and before he could sit down, he curled his fingertips for a moment, lowered his eyes, and pushed the milk tea to the opposite side.
Lu Si was eating biscuits and scrolling through his phone, his eyes slightly raised as he gave him an inquiring look.
"Someone gave it to me," Gu Fang tilted his head and added, "From Class 11."
Lu Si's face was expressionless. He nodded, plucked the paper from the cup, glanced at it, and casually tucked it into the hole in the table. He tilted his head back and called out to Chen Yi, asking him to digest the milk tea.
There was free milk tea, so Chen Yi happily threw down his phone and left, pretending to sigh before leaving: "What a waste! Doesn't he know that our Lu brother is determined to resist premature love?"
Lu Si glanced at him coldly.
Chen Yi was so grateful that he left quickly.
Gu Fang looked at the biscuits on his desk and sat down absent-mindedly.
It looks a bit dry, doesn't it need some water?
The bell rang for class, and the crowd looking for food reluctantly dispersed from the corner, and the pink storage box had been completely cleared out.
Gu Fang continued to watch the movie with little interest. Across the classroom, the rustling sound of snack bags being torn apart could be heard. He casually opened the cap of his strawberry milk cup and, just as he stirred it, a box of biscuits crossed the table. In the light of the projector, he could barely make out the end he hadn't eaten.
"Or?" He was slightly startled when he heard his deskmate ask in a calm voice.
Maybe he was caught peeking at his cookies?
Gu Fang suddenly thought of the word "sharing." A perfect reason to give as a gift.
Lu Si was a bit nearsighted, and without his glasses, he could only vaguely make out blocks of color on the screen. They were mottled and messy.
Hearing the rustling of the table thread, he inadvertently turned his head and saw the boy stretched out his hand, quickly picked up a small piece of biscuit, and whispered a polite thank you.
Lu Si lazily dragged the biscuit box back, but saw that the boy who had been well-behaved just now was holding a biscuit in his mouth. Before he could swallow it, he hurriedly took out a large bag of toast and AD calcium from the hole in the table and pushed it to him like a treasure.
Gu Fang quickly swallowed the biscuits.
"Or?"
The same words were said, but his eyes, which were fixed on me, were bright and shining. When there was no light, his pupils turned into a deep blue, like the deep sea, and his face was slightly flushed.
Is this sharing?
...Although it seems that the exchanged items are not equal.
Lu Si looked at the things pushed over coldly for a while, and nodded as if possessed by something, and accepted the bag of toast and two bottles of AD calcium.
Beautiful, troublesome.
Lu Si’s understanding of his new deskmate deepened his mind.
...He is stupid and has a lot of money.
When school was over at around nine o'clock, Gu Fang followed the crowd downstairs.
The layout of No. 12 Middle School is as follows: Classes 1 and 2 are at the top, on the highest floor. Six classes are placed on each floor, and the rest of the building is divided into five floors, totaling thirty classes for the senior year.
Gu Fang found himself unaware of the throng, having barely grasped his route before he finally made it out of the East Gate. Mr. Gu's car was a striking sight, a brilliant yellow against the night sky and neon lights. It was a supercar with an unparalleled design, the brightest thing in the entire parking lot.
As he approached, the car door opened automatically. Mr. Gu was facing the boyfriend or girlfriend, chatting with her on the phone. When she saw him come in, she just glanced at him and reminded him to fasten his seat belt.
"Uncle." Gu Fang called out, put his schoolbag behind him, looked down at the message, and Le Jiayu asked him if he had found a parking lot.
There shouldn't be anything about him that makes him look like an idiot in life?
Gu Fang replied, "Get in the car." The FenDa group had been popping up messages after school, and he glanced through it, trying to find any recent photos of Lu Si, but caught a glimpse of his own name.
-A lot of A's and B's are asking about the new school idol's ID number.
-People from the No. 6 Middle School next door even came to ask.
They need to use their real name to join the group to prevent non-O people from entering, so everyone in the group knows Gu Fang's number.
Le Jiayu started bubbling.
-No!
-If they want it, ask them themselves!
-There is no way to take shortcuts!
Gu Fang actually cared about it. Didn't they have any selection criteria for this "school idol"?
Between dinner and school dismissal, these two words referred to no less than three people in the group.
Apart from him, there are Lu Si and Jing Xingye.
Gu Fang actually secretly analyzed the popularity of the two. Generally speaking, everyone agreed that if we only talk about handsomeness or coolness, Lu Si is better than the school bully.
But when it comes to the most ideal partner, the school bully actually wins over Lu Si.
Gu Fang didn’t understand, he really didn’t understand.
After looking around, it turned out that Jing Xingye scored full marks in the two columns of family background and personality.
...?
Gu Fang could only remain silent.
[TS Senior Citizens Association]
-Brothers and sisters! Tomorrow is Monday again!
-Band performance or just the usual?
-certainly!
-My group administrator's information channel is extremely reliable, awesome! Hooray!
The corners of Gu Fang's lips finally curled up, and he replied with "awesome.jpg".
Looking up, I saw that I had merged into the traffic outside the school and went down the slope.
Gu Jianlan finally finished replying to all the sweet nothings and raised his eyebrows: "Fangfang, shall I take you to see your new home?"
Gu Fang turned off his phone and glanced at him: "Have you finished moving all the things?"
"Are you still not confident in your uncle's efficiency?" Gu Jianlan patted the steering wheel, chin raised. "The only one missing is the one near your school. It needs to be vacant for another week to freshen up the air before you can move in. You can just walk there in a few steps, so you don't have to worry about traffic jams on the way back here."
"Oh, right," Gu Jianlan turned and climbed onto the elevated platform, remembering something. "Your grandma sent you those flowers. She said they were freshly cut from her garden, and she picked the best ones just for you."
Gu Fang's eyes lit up with a smile: "I'll video chat with grandma later."
Gu Jianlan sighed, "Wait until I'm gone before you yawn, otherwise you'll start nagging me about the blind date again, that old lady."
A phone call came in. After dealing with all the beautiful women, Mr. Gu sighed and went back to work.
"I won't go in." After turning into the villa area, the car stopped at the door. Gu Jianlan helped him unbuckle his seat belt and sighed, "I've never driven a car so steadily in my life."
Gu Fang couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Then your life is too short, isn't it?"
"Wrong!" Gu Jianlan also got out of the car and patted the body. "I'll replace it tomorrow. It's the end of its life in my hands."
Gu Fang glanced at it and said, "It looks good to me."
Gu Jianlan just said three words: "I'm tired of it."
Gu Fang went to pick up his schoolbag and turned around to see Gu Jianlan pulling out a large bouquet of flowers from behind him like a magic trick: "Fang Fang! Look!"
Gu Fang curled his eyes: "Is it a gift from grandma?"
Gu Jianlan was anxious and refused to give it to him: "Hey, why is everything given by your grandma?"
"Just kidding, uncle." Gu Fang stood quietly, his eyes turning to the bouquet of flowers in full bloom, reluctant to leave. "Dutch irises, they are not grown in grandma's garden."
"Congratulations on the start of school," Gu Jianlan also smiled and handed him the flowers, "A smooth return to campus life!"
"Here, for you."
Lu Si, wearing an apron, stood behind the counter, put a small box of cream cake and a bottle of AD calcium in a plastic bag, and handed it to the girl holding the flowers.
The girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, was wearing a junior high school uniform. She handed the flowers to the store manager for signature before slowly glancing at the plastic bag and asking, "Are you having a sale?"
Lu Si shook the bag, his eyes flickering faintly under the warm yellow light: "Take it away quickly, there are customers behind."
The girl took the bag and stepped aside, waiting for him with her hands in her pockets, the plastic bag dangling outside, and a very arrogant expression on her face.
Two girls wearing the same school uniform as her met her eyes after entering the store and shouted in surprise, "Lu Qi! Why are you here?"
Lu Qi raised his chin and gestured to the big boy who was packing the bags neatly behind the counter.
"Wait for my brother."
The two little girls looked at Lu Si, exclaimed in surprise, and their faces flushed instantly.
After they finished shopping, the store manager said they could leave work. Lu Si took off the brown apron with bear ears. Lu Qi said, "You don't have to give them a discount. I don't know them well. The money will be added to your salary."
Lu Si gave her a cold glance.
He inherited his eyes from their father, a pair of very long and narrow phoenix eyes with slightly upturned tails, which added a sense of sharpness when he squinted.
"You are at your school," Lu Si asked calmly, "do you know anyone there?"
Lu Qi was also a little afraid to look him in the eye, so she turned away and muttered, "Even if you give them a discount, they won't get familiar with me just because of that."
"Of course it will happen if you don't fight for it."
Lu Si said goodbye to the store manager, picked up his schoolbag and piano case and left the store.
The cake shop is right across from the junior high school of No. 12 Middle School. Lu Qi comes over after evening self-study and they go home together. Today, he's on his way to deliver an order from the flower shop.
"Brother, are you still performing tomorrow night?"
Lu Si hummed and yawned sleepily.
"Oh." Lu Qi flipped through the plastic bag, found a straw and poked the bottle of AD calcium. "I don't see this sold in your store?"
Lu Si tilted his head and his eyes fell on the bottle.
With his eyes downcast, he lowered his voice and said, "I got it from a classmate."
Lu Qi nodded and didn't take it to heart.
As they turned the corner and walked into Dongmen Market, they suddenly heard her brother ask, "Is it delicious?"
She casually replied, "It's sweet and sour, it's okay, most children like it."
There are few people in the market after the stalls are closed.
Lu Si suddenly let out a breathy laugh, a short, piercing laugh, filled with amusement or something else. Before Lu Qi could figure out what it was, the laugh abruptly stopped, like a piece of music suddenly ending.
"What are you laughing at, brother?" Lu Qi's eyes showed confusion.
"I just think it's funny." Lu Si answered the question irrelevantly.
The author has something to say:
Who has any objection to a seventeen-year-old child who is underage?
