I'm starting to ship you two.
For lunch, Chen Shengxu took Gu Yu to eat beef noodles outside the school.
This noodle shop is very popular among the students of No. 10 Middle School; they all love to eat there.
In the afternoon, Chen Shengxu ran the semi-finals and finals of the 200-meter race and successfully won first place.
He stepped down from the podium, took the gold medal off his neck, and then put it around Gu Yu's neck.
"It's yours."
Gu Yu touched the gold medal, "I will definitely keep it safe."
"I plan to enter more events next year, win first place in all of them, and then give the gold medal to you."
"Why?"
"I want to give it to you, so that your suitors will know how awesome I am."
Okay~
When they had nothing else to do, they sat on the steps and chatted. Chen Shengxu would help them write encouraging messages, and Gu Yu secretly took many photos of him.
She saw a photo of Chen Shengxu running on the No. 10 Middle School forum. It was a beautiful photo, and she saved it. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
Chen Shengxu was writing with a pen, while Gu Yu sat beside him, resting his chin on his hand and watching him intently.
My mom wasn't lying; men look most handsome when they're serious.
How can he be so handsome?!
The sports meet ended early, at 6:30, so they didn't have to go to class. Chen Shengxu took Gu Yu out to eat, and they ate Gu Yu's favorite omelet rice.
It was still early, so instead of riding bicycles, the two of them strolled back hand in hand.
About a week later, the Third Middle School will hold an arts performance, and each class must put on two programs.
Gu Yu signed up herself; she planned to sing a song, JJ Lin's "Those Dreams You Had That Were So Adventurous".
The class's arts and culture representative found a few people who wanted to act in a play, but not many were interested. So they went to Gu Yu, who thought it was quite interesting and agreed.
The role I was assigned was the second female lead, who was paired with the third male lead, who was to be played on the weekend.
She's been finishing get out of class later these days because she has to rehearse with them, which is quite tiring, and she still has to practice singing when she gets home.
Chen Shengxu was always incredibly bored. He would chat with the gatekeeper until they all came out, then he would go and pull Gu Yu away to take her home.
That day, Gu Yu showed him a video, which was a scene between her and Zhou Mo.
Chen Shengxu felt uneasy and said, "You two are quite in sync, huh?"
"I've been waiting in line for a long time. If it still doesn't work, I'll be furious."
Chen Shengxu pouted: "You two look more like a couple than I do. I'm starting to ship you two. 99."
Gu Yu realized that this person was jealous. "What? My relationship with him is friendship, but with you it's love." He blinked as he finished speaking.
Chen Shengxu was still awkward, and in a strained voice, he said the line he'd spoken on the weekend in the video: "Can't you turn around and look at me? I've always been waiting for you here."
Gu Yu was amused by him.
"You're still laughing!" Chen Shengxu snorted, turning his head away from her and crossing his arms over his chest. "I'm ignoring you!"
"Stop laughing, stop laughing," Gu Yu coughed twice to suppress his smile, stretched out his arms to hug Chen Shengxu's waist, and looked up at him. "I like you the most~ I like Chen Shengxu the most~ I can't stand anyone else but Chen Shengxu."
Chen Shengxu suppressed a smile and said, "Then I won't hold it against you." He pretended to be reluctantly forgiving him.
But Gu Yu had already seen through it.
Chen Aojiao.
*
Gu Yu didn't get to see the performance; instead, she got to do a physical fitness test. Who knows how devastated she was when she heard the news from the sports commission? She felt like dying when she heard that the passing score for the 800-meter dash was four and a half minutes.
On the way home that night, she pitifully talked to Chen Shengxu for a long time.
"I definitely can't escape, what am I going to do!" Gu Yu gently bumped his forehead against Chen Shengxu's back. "I'm ruined, I don't want to live anymore, ahhh!"
"It's okay, this shouldn't count towards your exam score."
Gu Yu stopped. "Really? But our teacher said this is the final exam score."
"Don't listen to him trying to scare you. We went through the same thing in junior high, and we never had a physical education grade on the final exam."
"That's true."
"When you run, run slowly and breathe slowly. Don't rush. Falling down would be a huge loss. You come first. Results don't matter."
"good."
Chen Shengxu still remembers how Gu Yu always seemed to lose half his life during the 800-meter race in junior high school.
The worst time was when her legs gave way before she even reached the finish line, and she ended up kneeling on the track. He was so scared that he ran over to help her up, but Gu Yu's legs were too weak to stand up. In the end, he carried her off the track and placed her on the steps next to him so she could rest.
He gave her all the necessary instructions, but he was still worried that she might not be able to get up from kneeling on the ground. Just thinking about it made his heart ache. He couldn't rest easy and told Zhou Mo in advance to ask him to help take care of Gu Yu.
Just as he expected, the physical test took place on that day.
Gu Yu knelt down again just before reaching the finish line.
He had planned to pick her up over the weekend, but after thinking about it, he felt it wasn't convenient for him as a man. So he called over Shang Nuochu, who was warming up and not paying attention to the track, and the two of them helped Gu Yu up and carried him away.
Gu Yu felt as if his life hung by a thread, and his mouth tasted of rust. He drank several sips of water, but the taste remained the same.
You can't sit down after running, and since I have nothing to do on the weekend, I just walk around with her and watch over her.
After class, on the weekend, she told Chen Shengxu everything about Gu Yu, and he felt sorry for her.
In Yu Cihuan's words, Chen Shengxu would be heartbroken for half a day if Gu Yu's fingernails were a little short, and he would wish to pluck the stars from the sky to comfort Gu Yu.
*
When Gu Yu saw Chen Shengxu at noon, he immediately found someone to lean on, hugged him, and said pitifully that he had fallen while running again, which was embarrassing and painful, and tears fell down his face as he spoke.
The moment the tears fall, the sky collapses and the earth splits.
Chen Shengxu quickly hugged her and gently comforted her, taking out tissues from his pocket to wipe her tears. "I'll give your school's running track a good scolding and stomp on it a few times later, so it can bully you. Oh, you're so pitiful." He was just like a father comforting his daughter.
Yu Cihuan, who came with him, rolled his eyes so hard they were practically pointing to the sky, his eyes completely filled with white.
This was the first time he had ever seen a relationship turn out like this between the two of them.
But thinking back to myself and Tang Yu'er back then, although we were inseparable, it wasn't like this.
He suddenly gave a bitter laugh. They hadn't talked for very long back then. If it weren't for that incident, he would probably be in a similar situation to Chen Shengxu now, or even worse.
But there are no "what ifs".
To be honest, he can't quite remember what Tang Yu'er looks like now, but he still clearly remembers the scene where the girl smiled and told him she liked him.
There's still no news, but no news is good news in itself. At least he can at least be told that Tang Yu'er is alive, which is better than hearing that the girl has passed away.
He was so engrossed in Tang Yu'er's world that he didn't notice that Chen Shengxu had already coaxed Gu Yu, and the two of them were whispering to him.
Gu Yu: "What's wrong with him?"
Based on his understanding of him, Chen Shengxu said, "He's probably thinking about Tang Yu'er. He often spaced out like this before, and I only found out he was thinking about Tang Yu'er when I asked him."
They both fell silent, simply standing there watching Yu Cihuan, waiting for him to snap out of his reverie.
Yu Cihuan pulled himself out of his daze, then turned around and met Chen Shengxu's gaze. "You guys..."
Chen Shengxu stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulder. "Let's go home!"
Gu Yu also ran over and smiled at them, "Let's go home!"
"good."
Yu Cihuan was reluctant to admit that he was particularly moved by Chen Shengxu and Gu Yu at this moment.
Having these two friends is truly worthwhile!
*
After taking a shower, Yu Cihuan lay on the bed playing on his phone. As usual, he sent some random thoughts to someone whose contact name he called "Little Fish," and then opened the game icon to start playing.
The little fish's avatar lit up for a moment and then immediately went out and turned gray.
I played a few games with Chen Shengxu, and we were really into it when this guy said he was going to call Gu Yu and immediately logged off, leaving me alone to get beaten up.
After the game ended, he immediately reported Chen Shengxu for AFK, took a screenshot and sent it to Chen Shengxu, and received a smiling soybean emoji in return.
Feeling much better, I played another round and had a blast, carrying the whole team.
*
Before we knew it, it was time for the Third Middle School's arts performance.
Gu Yu performed exceptionally well that day, and the play he performed with them received a lot of applause.
She went down from the stage and got her phone from Shang Nuochu.
Shang Nuochu: "I've recorded everything for you. It's absolutely stunning, like a goddess descending."
Thanks! I'll treat you to dinner sometime!
"No need for a meal. The cookies you gave me last time were delicious. Do you have any more?"
"Yes! I'll make it for you when I get home tonight!"
"That's great!"
Gu Yu sent the two videos to Chen Shengxu.
Student Chen: [This is so beautiful!!!]
Student Chen: [Unfortunately, I can't experience it in person because I'm in school...crying.jpg]
Xiao Chen: [But watching the video is great too!! You're really, really amazing! You sang beautifully and acted exceptionally well!!]
Xiao Chen: [I knew you could do it!]
My image: [Happy spinning around.jpg]
Xiao Chen: [Let's go out and have fun together during the monthly break, okay?]
My reply: 【Okay, it's still a bit hot, let's go out this afternoon.】
Xiao Chen: [Okay! Let's eat first, then go to the food street, okay?]
My response: 【Sure!】
*
They agreed to go out and have fun on the first day of their monthly holiday.
Around four or five in the afternoon, Chen Shengxu was waiting for her at the entrance of Gu Yu residential area.
After picking him up, we took a taxi to a barbecue restaurant he had his eye on.
I specifically chose a spot close to the air conditioner.
Gu Yu: "I want to eat shrimp."
"Order it, I'll peel it later."
Gu Yu watched Chen Shengxu peel the shrimp.
"Eat up, why are you staring at me?"
Do you know what I said to my mom and brother?
"What?" Chen Shengxu looked up at her, but his hands didn't stop moving.
"My mom says that if a man is willing to peel shrimp for you, it means he is very patient."
Chen Shengxu raised an eyebrow, "Then I'll have two more plates!"
"That's enough. I'll take pictures and send them to my mom. You'll definitely get enough points."
"That's good. I'll try my best to make a good impression."
"Keep it up!"
Chen Shengxu peeled them, wiped his hands, and then used tongs to put them all in to roast.
The meal took more than an hour to eat.
Gu Yu didn't touch the clip at all; he was well taken care of.
It was only a little past seven o'clock when we finished eating.
The barbecue restaurant wasn't far from the food street, so they decided to walk there and digest their food while they were there.
As I was walking, I saw someone selling balloons.
"Chen Shengxu, I want that pink pig balloon."
Chen Shengxu pulled her over.
"Boss, I want the pink pig one, how much?"
"Ten yuan."
“Okay,” Chen Shengxu scanned the code, “It’s over.”
The shopkeeper handed him the balloon, saying, "Here you go."
"Thanks."
Gu Yu said excitedly, "Tie it to my wrist."
"good."
Chen Shengxu tied her up and asked her, "Are you happy?"
"happy!"
He took her hand and led her into the food street.
Although it's called a food street, the food sold there is pretty much the same everywhere. They had just eaten and didn't have an appetite, so they only bought two bottles of mineral water.
I'll pop into boutiques and clothing stores when I come across them, but I haven't seen anything I like.
As Gu Yu strolled to the end of the street, he saw a grilled cold noodle shop.
"I want to eat this, the basic kind is fine."
Chen Shengxu stepped forward and said, "I want a basic one, without cilantro and onions."
"Okay! It'll be ready soon."
After paying, Chen Shengxu and Gu Yu waited on the side.
It should be ready in about ten minutes.
Chen Shengxu took it first, and watched Gu Yu tie her hair up before handing it to her.
He said, "Eat slowly, it's still very hot."
"good."
Gu Yu ate a piece himself and exclaimed, "Delicious!" Then he fed Chen Shengxu a piece as well.
The two of them shared the food, taking turns eating it.
When I got tired, I found a step nearby and sat down.
It's dark now, and the streetlights are on.
I rested for a while and then got up.
Chen Shengxu: "Want to go scratch a lottery ticket?"
Gu Yu's eyes lit up. "Go!" He grabbed Chen Shengxu and started running.
She said, "We'll scrape off twenty."
"good."
Gu Yu paid for two bills and pulled Chen Shengxu to sit down.
Before they even started, a girl walked over.
"Um, hello."
Gu Yu stood up: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Exactly, my boyfriend and I went out to play, and my mom wants to check up on us. Could you pretend to be my classmate?"
"all right!"
Chen Shengxu looked up and saw Gu Yu's eyes full of excitement, and smiled.
Then a boy came over next to him, bought the same lottery ticket as him, and handed it to him, saying, "Thank you."
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "You're too kind."
By the time I looked back, Gu Yu's situation had already been resolved.
After they left, Gu Yu grabbed Chen Shengxu's arm and exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! Chen Shengxu, you have no idea how excited I was!!! It was so much fun!!"
"Now I know!"
Gu Yule paused for a moment before starting to scratch the lottery tickets. She noticed there was an extra one. "You bought another one?"
"No, it was bought by that girl's boyfriend."
"Oh, then they're actually quite nice people."
“Okay,” Chen Shengxu handed her the small shovel. “We can start now, lottery king.”
"Let me show you what I've got."
Chen Shengxu scratched a card, but didn't win.
Gu Yu didn't win on the first scratch card, but she was extra careful on the second one and finally won ten yuan.
She excitedly hugged Chen Shengxu: "We're so lucky!"
"You're amazing!"
Gu Yu, with a smug look on his face, flicked ten yuan in cash and said to him, "I'll pay for everything tonight."
"Wow—that's incredibly powerful!!" Chen Shengxu rubbed his hands together. "I will follow King Gu Yu forever."
"Hmph, don't worry, as long as I have food to eat, you'll have a dish to wash."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not abandoning me."
Gu Yu burst into laughter, and Chen Shengxu laughed along with him.
*
After wandering around for a while, I decided to go home.
Chen Shengxu said goodbye to Gu Yu at the entrance of the residential area.
Gu Yu: "I'm going back now~ I can do my homework via video call tomorrow."
Okay, I'll wait for you~
"Bye-Bye."
"Bye-Bye."
After Gu Yu got home, he took the balloons off and put them in the living room.
The balloon floated up.
