I'm downstairs.
On his way home, Chen Shengxu couldn't help but shout several times. When he got home, he jumped up and down several times. After taking a shower, he lay on the bed and rolled around on it several times.
The excitement just wouldn't go away.
I got up, grabbed my phone, and changed Gu Yu's contact name to "Little Rabbit."
I posted a message on WeChat Moments that was only visible to myself.
"I kissed Gu Yu on New Year's Day. His lips were soft and warm."
*
The next day, I woke up to find a message from Gu Yu.
Little Rabbit: [I went out to play with Mommy today.]
Childish Kid: [Okay! Have fun.]
Little Rabbit: [Hmm!]
Chen Shengxu did his homework at home for a while, but got so bored that he went to Yu Cihuan's house to play games with him.
He asked, "Is no one home?"
"She went out on a date."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I was thinking of asking you to come and get a free meal."
"Then get out."
"No, no, I won't."
You seem very excited today.
Seeing that he had finally asked, Chen Shengxu's face lit up with joy, and he said, "I'll tell you, I—"
“I don’t want to hear it,” Yu Cihuan interrupted him.
Chen Shengxu ignored him, "I kissed Gu Yu yesterday, damn it! My God! I actually kissed her!!"
Yu Cihuan covered his ears.
Chen Shengxu pulled his hand down and continued sharing.
Yu Cihuan remained silent.
I just asked that one question.
*
After returning to school, we will face final exams.
Chen Shengxu finished his exam five days earlier than Gu Yu.
During the day, I would stay at home copying my summer homework. When it was time to pick up Gu Yu, I would play games when I didn't want to do my homework, and occasionally look at cooking guides.
He stopped taking photography classes after the exam. Actually, he felt that he had learned most of the key points and still needed more practice.
His plan was to arrange a location after Gu Yu finished her exams, and have Gu Yu wear one of the tutu skirts he bought for him to take pictures.
In the evenings, when he had nothing else to do, he would take orders for game boosting and gaming companionship.
However, he doesn't really like accepting gaming companions; most of his work involves proxy gaming because many gaming companions are mentally unstable, which is quite mentally taxing for him.
But the Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and he needs to save money to buy his mother a New Year's dress, even though she won't be coming back this year, it's still necessary.
He had his eye on a black dress beforehand, which cost over six hundred.
Old Chen asked him a couple of days ago what he planned to give his mother for the New Year, because he was worried that they would be giving the same thing to each other.
Then they discovered there were no duplicates; he gave her a dress, and Lao Chen gave her high heels.
He's been struggling with what New Year's gift to give Gu Yu these past few days.
*
The day Gu Yu finished his exams, he took his friends out for a hot pot meal.
Chen Shengxu: "Do you have a lot of summer homework?"
"It's alright, just a few test papers."
"Wow~ I finished copying my summer homework these past two days."
"I envy you. I have to do my own test, and when I get to school, the teacher says they have to explain it to me."
That's terrible.
"Yes."
Chen Shengxu put some meat on her plate, saying, "Eat more, you need to replenish your nutrition after the exam."
What are your plans after the exam?
"I need to take the test while I still remember the key points. I'm afraid if I play for a month and then take the test, I'll forget everything."
"Sure, call me anytime if you get tired of writing."
"good."
After that meeting, they didn't see each other much anymore, because Gu Yu stayed at home doing practice papers. Occasionally, they would take a walk around the neighborhood in the afternoon.
*
Lunar New Year's Eve arrived in the blink of an eye.
Chen Shengxu took the New Year's gift he had prepared a few days ago and ran to Gu Yu's neighborhood.
The security guard at the booth asked in surprise, "Why are you here instead of going home for the New Year?"
"Giving New Year's gifts."
"Go in."
"Thank you, Uncle."
He waited downstairs at Gu Yu's house for the time to pass.
I called Gu Yu at 11:59.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Chen!!"
Happy New Year, Gu Yu.
"Should we tell my parents?"
"May I?"
“Okay,” Gu Yu said to her parents, “Mom and Dad, Chen Shengxu will say hello to you.”
She said, "I put it on speakerphone."
"Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt."
Mrs. Gu: "Happy New Year! May the new year bring you peace and safety."
Old Gu: "Happy New Year, may the new year go smoothly."
"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
Old Gu said awkwardly, "You two talk."
Gu Yu smiled and took the phone.
"My dad has accepted you now."
"Gu Dagong has made invaluable contributions. What does he want?"
"I don't know, I'll just save it."
Alright!
Chen Shengxu asked, "Do you miss me?"
"Miss you!"
"Then you can go downstairs now."
"What's the meaning?"
"I'm downstairs."
"wait for me!"
Gu Yu grabbed a down jacket from the coat rack by the door and ran downstairs. "Mom and Dad, I'm going out for a bit!"
Old Gu: "That brat's here?"
Madam Gu: "Most likely."
"You're quite good at it."
Madam Gu smiled but didn't say anything.
*
Gu Yu ran downstairs and threw himself into Chen Shengxu's arms.
"Why did you come so suddenly without telling me?"
"Because I miss you so much, and I wanted to give you a surprise."
"What a wonderful surprise!"
“Here you are, a New Year’s gift,” Chen Shengxu handed her the bag, “It’s a CD player.”
How did you know I needed a CD player?
"You mentioned you had CDs at home, so I thought you might need them."
Gu Yu tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek. "I like you."
Then she remembered that she hadn't brought the gift she was supposed to give Chen Shengxu.
"I didn't get my gift down. I'll go up and get it. Wait for me!"
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yu ran up to her.
Chen Shengxu watched her hurried figure disappear into the distance and smiled helplessly.
so cute.
Gu Yu ran home, put the gift in her room, took out the blue sweater she had bought from the closet, and then rushed downstairs again.
He stood panting in front of Chen Shengxu.
Open the box. "Do you like it?"
Chen Shengxu took out the sweater. "It's beautiful. You must have spent a long time choosing it."
How did you know?!
"Because I'm smart."
"Actually, it wasn't for very long, I only went to three or four places."
"The timing was perfect; I was planning to buy a sweater in a few days anyway."
Chen Shengxu folded the clothes and put them back.
Gu Yu: "Sit down for a while."
"Um."
The two sat on the steps of the stairwell, chatting intermittently.
He called his parents when he got home that night.
Old Chen: "Your mom said she really likes the dress."
"If you like it, that's good!"
We hung up after only a couple of sentences, and then I received a red envelope from my parents.
*
After that, Gu Yu started visiting relatives.
Chen Shengxu was too lazy to go to his relatives' houses by himself, so he stayed at home playing video games, taking orders, playing with building blocks, and setting off firecrackers...
*
After Gu Yu had some free time, Chen Shengxu invited her out to play.
While they were waiting for roasted sweet potatoes by the roadside, Yu Cihuan called him.
Why aren't you home?
"I went out with Gu Yu," Chen Shengxu said. "You went to my house?"
“Hmm,” Yu Cihuan said as he came out of Chen Shengxu’s house, “Take me with you, I’m so bored by myself.”
"Let me ask," Chen Shengxu asked Gu Yu, "Yu Cihuan is coming to visit, do you want him to come?"
"Come on, come on, it's more fun with lots of people."
"We'll send you the address; we'll wait for you here."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shengxu asked the shop owner to buy another sweet potato.
Yu Cihuan arrived in about ten minutes.
Chen Shengxu handed him the sweet potato, saying, "It's still warm."
What are your plans?
“We didn’t have a plan,” Gu Yu said. “We just came out, started wandering around, and when we saw someone selling roasted sweet potatoes, we bought some because we wanted some.”
"So, are we just going to squat here and eat sweet potatoes now?"
"Let's talk about it after we finish eating."
Yu Cihuan stopped talking and ate sweet potatoes with them.
This place is sheltered from the wind, so it's not too cold.
After the three finished eating the sweet potatoes, they looked at each other and then started laughing.
After laughing enough, Chen Shengxu said, "How about we go to the mall and go wherever we want? It's getting a bit cold outside after a while."
Yu Cihuan: "Okay!"
Then I took a taxi to a nearby shopping mall.
They went up to the second floor and found a place to sit down.
Gu Yu: "Let me ask Xiao Chu if she wants to come out and play. If there are a lot of people, we'll know where to go."
Chen Shengxu: "Hmm, then I'll ask about the weekend."
About ten minutes later, the two found them on the second floor.
Sitting down on the weekend: "Where to go for fun?"
Chen Shengxu: "I don't know."
"Let me introduce you first. This is my good brother, Yu Cihuan."
"Hello."
"Hello, I'm Zhoumo."
Weekend: "So you didn't even know where to go before calling me out?"
Shang Nuochu: "Me too."
Gu Yu: "Oh dear, more people means more brains. Let's think about where to go."
The five people sat in a circle, and after thinking for a while, no one spoke.
Gu Yu: "Let's take a look around first. We're already here, it's not right to just sit here."
Chen Shengxu was the first to stand up. "Let's go."
I wandered around and ended up in the game section.
Chen Shengxu bought 100 yuan worth of game tokens and said to Gu Yu, "Come on, let me help you win a prize."
"No, I want to go catch it with Xiao Chu." After saying that, she put her arm around Shang Nuochu and left.
Yu Cihuan: "Let's go, brother."
The three of them, arms around each other's shoulders, headed towards the pitching area.
After playing around, Chen Shengxu didn't catch a single plush toy.
I've lost all will to live.
Gu Yu found them and asked, "Let's go buy milk tea. What would you like to drink?"
Chen Shengxu: "Pudding milk tea."
Yu Cihuan: "Pearl milk tea."
Weekend: "Bubble Tea".
"OK, you guys wait for us here."
The three of them clung to the glass railing on the second floor, waiting for them to return.
Yu Cihuan asked, "Chen Shengxu and Zhou Mo, which university do you two want to apply to?"
“I don’t know, but it would be best if I were in the same city as Gu Yu,” Chen Shengxu said. “There are still two years, so there’s no rush.”
Weekend: "I'd prefer within the province or the next province. If it's too far, it'll be difficult to carry my luggage and I'll be exhausted."
Yu Cihuan: "I dream that I can get into A University."
“You really have a vivid dream,” Chen Shengxu said. “Then I’ll dream that Gu Yu and I can both get into A University.”
Weekend: "Since I've already dreamed about it, I'll dream about A University too."
They waited for a while before Gu Yu and the others returned.
The group wandered around for a while longer, and seeing that it was lunchtime, they found a barbecue restaurant.
After they finished eating, they planned to wander around a bit more, but they left after receiving a phone call over the weekend.
They all then headed home.
*
Chen Shengxu was lying in bed talking on the phone with Gu Yu.
"Gu Yu, which university do you want to apply to?"
Nanjing University.
Chen Shengxu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll work harder and try to get into Nanjing University with you!"
Okay~
