See you tomorrow
At noon, Chen Shengxu had just returned home after dropping off Gu Yu when he received a call from Gu Yu.
He asked in a lighthearted tone, "What's wrong?"
"My bracelet is gone..." Gu Yu's voice was clearly trembling with tears, "What should I do..."
Chen Shengxu knew about the bracelet; it was obtained for her by her deceased grandmother who climbed a mountain to a temple. She had worn it since she was a child and cherished it very much.
"Don't panic. Think about where you found it missing?" Chen Shengxu was already putting on his shoes. "I'll go look for it for you now."
"I only noticed it was missing when I got home and started doing my homework..."
"It's okay, can you look around the house first? I'll be there in a bit."
"good."
Chen Shengxu didn't hang up the phone until he saw Gu Yu come out.
Gu Yu saw that the emotions he had just composed had collapsed again.
Chen Shengxu handed her a tissue to wipe her tears, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll help you look for it."
They searched for a long time in the neighborhood but couldn't find it, but time was running out.
Gu Yu: "Go back now. You have class this afternoon, and you won't have time to eat if you stay out any longer."
Chen Shengxu hesitated for two seconds before agreeing, "I can find it, trust me."
"Um."
*
The next afternoon, Chen Shengxu skipped the last PE class, went hiking to get an identical one, and then hurriedly returned to school.
Yu Cihuan handed him the steamed buns he had bought, saying, "They're cold, but you'll have to eat them anyway."
Thanks.
"Where did you go?"
“Gu Yu lost her bracelet and couldn’t find it anywhere, so I had to ask her to get another one,” Chen Shengxu said, taking out his study materials. “This bracelet is very important to her; she cares about it a lot.”
"oh."
*
That evening, Chen Shengxu dropped Gu Yu off at the entrance of the residential compound.
He smiled and said, "I found the bracelet." Then he took out the one he had asked for that afternoon and gave it to her.
Gu Yu took it in his hand, glanced at it, and burst into tears.
"Oh dear, why are you crying again? We found it, didn't we?"
Gu Yu put it away and hugged him, saying, "Thank you."
"Hey, don't thank me. It's what I should do as your boyfriend," Chen Shengxu patted her on the back. "Go back now."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
*
After finishing his homework, Gu Yu took out the bracelet and put it on.
This bracelet doesn't have the knot that her grandmother helped her change to be bigger.
*
Chen Shengxu chatted with Gu Yu for a while longer at the entrance of the residential area tonight, and was reluctant to leave.
He kept looking back as he took a step.
Just as I was about to ride away on my bike, an argument broke out behind me. I turned around and saw it was Gu Yu.
A woman was holding her wrist.
He let go of the handlebars, ran over, grabbed the woman's wrist tightly, then shook her off, shouting, "What are you doing!"
Then he took Gu Yu's wrist, rubbed it, and asked her, "Does it hurt?"
"A little, but not very painful."
Chen Shengxu frowned and looked at the woman: "What do you want! Do you think you can bully a little girl like this!"
"Hey! How can you be so rude, young man? She was the one who bullied my son first!" she said, pulling her son in front of her. "Look, my son's clothes are so dirty because she pushed him and he fell to the ground."
Chen Shengxu looked at the boy, who was at least thirteen or fourteen years old, and laughed angrily. "Ha! You're really lying through your teeth! How much strength could a little girl have to push your cube-shaped son to the ground!"
"You're the type to target kind and pretty young girls when you're trying to extort money, aren't you? You think they're easy to bully, huh?"
The woman's expression changed when she saw the two holding hands: "Oh! Why are you so concerned about this young girl? What's your relationship? You young people... tsk tsk tsk."
"You!" Chen Shengxu released his grip, took two steps forward to distance himself from Gu Yu, and exclaimed, "How dare you spout such foul language!"
"This is not my problem. If you don't have something to hide, why are you afraid of me saying it?"
"You're a girl too, how dare you talk like that to another girl! Don't you have any shame!"
"You're shameless! Bah!"
Chen Shengxu felt he couldn't reason with her, so he waved his hand behind him, signaling Gu Yu to go back first.
Gu Yu felt he was useless staying there, so he decided to go back and find someone and left.
The woman wanted to chase after him, but Chen Shengxu stopped her.
That kid also rushed over and bumped into Chen Shengxu.
He stumbled from the impact, yelling, "Damn!"
He was furious: "You—" Before he could finish speaking, he heard sirens and then saw police cars.
"Who called the police?"
The security guard at the guard booth recalled that he came out and said, "I called the police. This old woman and her son were bullying this little girl."
The woman was furious when she heard this, rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush forward when she was stopped by the police.
*
The police mediated at the entrance of the residential area for a long time, but the woman seemed not to understand human language. The police had no choice but to take everyone to the police station.
Upon entering the police station, the officer asked Chen Shengxu, "Do you really want her to apologize?"
"Why doesn't she apologize!" Chen Shengxu's eyes were red. "Why... why did she say that to my friend! My friend is just an ordinary high school girl, why did she say such disgusting things to her?"
The policeman saw that tears were about to fall from his eyes and said, "Hey, hey, don't cry."
"I didn't cry!" Chen Shengxu held back his tears. "I was just a little angry and felt wronged for my friend."
"Okay, okay."
After half an hour of haggling, the police insisted that her son's record would be tarnished if she didn't apologize, and only then did she apologize.
Under Chen Shengxu's coercion, he wrote an apology letter.
Police officer: "Alright, you should go home now. Tomorrow isn't the weekend."
Chen Shengxu bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Uncle. I'm leaving now."
He went outside and saw the message Gu Yu had sent him.
Mengmeng: [Where did you go? I looked for my mom, where are you guys?]
Mengmeng: [I asked the security guard, and he said you're at the police station. My mom said she'll take me to find you.]
Mengmeng: [We've arrived. Are you alright?]
Childish Kid: [I'm out. It's okay, everything's taken care of.]
"Chen Shengxu!"
He looked up and saw Gu Yu running towards him.
Why haven't you gone home yet?
Madam Gu: "Alright, alright, this isn't the place to talk."
The two men followed her into the car.
Madam Gu asked, "Where is your home?"
Chen Shengxu obediently gave him the address.
Gu Yu: "You're crying. What's wrong? Did they bully you?"
“I didn’t cry,” he said, handing her the apology letter. “That person wrote an apology letter; take a look.”
Gu Yu ignored the paper and stared at him. "You're very sad. Why?"
"Because of what she said, isn't it?"
“Hmm,” Chen Shengxu lowered his head, “What she said went too far. She just slandered you without thinking. How can a person do that?”
"It's okay, I don't mind."
“I care, I care a lot. I don’t want you to be talked about like that. You’re not that kind of person at all.”
Gu Yu reached out and touched his face. "Alright~ You've resolved things perfectly in the end~ Besides, only we know what she said, so it's okay. Don't keep thinking about it, it's all in the past, isn't it?"
"Um."
Mrs. Gu drove the car to the entrance of the residential area and said, "We're here." Then she got out of the car.
Gu Yu reached out and hugged him. "It's okay~ Chen Shengxu, you should be proud of me for protecting you today."
"And let me tell you~ my mom told me to say thank you to you, and that really boosted my impression of you."
Chen Shengxu laughed out loud.
"Okay, okay, go back to sleep now."
Good night.
Goodnight~
Chen Shengxu opened the car door and got out. He walked to Madam Gu's side and said, "Thank you, Auntie, for bringing me back. Be careful on your way home."
"Okay, go to sleep early. Thank you for today too."
"No need," Chen Shengxu said, belatedly realizing his embarrassment. "Then I'll head back now. Goodbye, Auntie."
"goodbye."
Chen Shengxu grabbed his coat and strode inside.
*
As soon as I entered the door, I saw his mother sitting on the sofa.
"You're back so late?"
"Something came up," Chen Shengxu said as he walked over. "I'm going upstairs now. Mom, you should go to sleep early too."
"Um."
He took a shower and lay in bed before suddenly realizing that this might affect Gu Yu's midterm exam.
I thought I'd send her a message: Good luck on your midterms.
Gu Yu knew what he wanted to express.
My response: [Don't worry, when I think about this during my midterms, all I'll remember is your handsome back blocking my way! *winks*.jpg]
Chen Shengxu looked at the emoji and laughed.
Childish brat: [Okay.]
Childish Ghost: [Goodnight, see you tomorrow.]
Mengmeng: [Goodnight, see you tomorrow.]
*
After the mid-term exams at No. 3 Middle School, Chen Shengxu told Gu Yu that he also had mid-term exams to take.
Mengmeng: [Go for it!]
Childish brat: [Hmm!]
He treated himself to a big meal after the exam. He invited Yu Cihuan and Gu Yu, but Gu Yu was eating at home and didn't come out.
He and Yu Cihuan went to eat hot pot.
We ended up ordering too much.
Yu Cihuan: "Put them all in and cook them, then get a takeout box to take home. When you're hungry at night, they'll taste ten times better than they do now."
"OK!"
They divided the food into two takeout boxes, one for each person.
Just as Yu Cihuan had predicted, Chen Shengxu got hungry in the early hours of the morning, took the food out of the refrigerator, and microwaved it.
It smells amazing.
He took a photo and sent it to Gu Yu.
Childish Ghost: [It smells amazing. I had hot pot with Yu Cihuan today and brought this home.]
Then it was sent to Yu Cihuan.
Yu Cihuan: [I told you so!]
Childish Kid: [Delicious, I love it.]
*
The results came out in about three or four days.
Chen Shengxu read Yu Cihuan's first.
Yes, a steady performance.
I saw my face fall instantly.
"Yu Cihuan!"
"What's wrong?"
"Who told you to get such a good score?! Who let you?!"
Yu Cihuan immediately knew what had happened. He smiled and said casually, "Well, what can I do? I'm just naturally smart. You hard-working type can't understand the pain of a gifted type like me."
"Aaaaah—I'm going to kill you!"
"Haha ...
*
Chen Shengxu rode his bicycle to give Gu Yu a ride.
He said, "My results are in."
"I didn't do well on the test."
How did you know?!
"Because if you do well on the test, you'll definitely say, 'Gu Yu! I did exceptionally well on this test!'"
“Yeah, English is too hard. I couldn’t make up anything for my second essay, I just wrote one sentence,” he said. “Yes!”
"What is this? You call a single word a sentence?"
"I've taken up a line."
"So, what was your English score?"
"88".
Gu Yu subconsciously replied, "Sigh!"
"?" Chen Shengxu paused for a moment, "Gu Yu!"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha..." Gu Yu laughed uncontrollably, "Sorry, my mouth beats my brain."
"Why."
"It's okay, you can definitely do it next time!"
"Um!"
