After the third mock test, time went by faster and faster.
After the results of the third mock test came out, Lin Xu still sat at the top of the list. The photos on the wall of honor changed constantly, but he was the only one who remained standing.
This time, everyone was less surprised, and they would no longer stand under the list to ask who the first-place boy was. They were used to it.
After all, he always showed outstanding results in all the big and small tests outside the formal exams.
It was a shocking thing for a poor student to become the first in the ranking of the third grade of the affiliated high school in three months, but it really happened, and people had to believe it.
Some people still think that Lin Xu may have mastered the secret source of the answer, so he can pretend for so long, and he may be exposed in the college entrance examination. But at least the students in Class 9 were already full of admiration for the new academic genius of their class.
The Affiliated High School is one of the test sites for the college entrance examination. In order to prepare the examination room in advance, students from other grades also had a week off.
In order to avoid possible changes during the college entrance examination, such as traffic or oversleeping and other unimaginable reasons that may affect students' grades, this year's senior high school students all moved directly into the school dormitory to review before the exam, both boarding and day students.
Grandma Lin didn't have the heart to dance in the square. She was at home muttering to Lin Xu while packing his luggage. Although she had never taken the college entrance examination and her family had never forced her children and grandchildren to get into a good university, after discovering that her grandson had become studious, she at least understood that this was very important to Lin Xu. She couldn't help much with his studies, so she had to make sure that his life was comfortable.
"Xiao Xu, is all the clothes grandma packed for you enough?" She asked worriedly without stopping her work. Her grandson had not been home for several days, so of course she was worried.
Lin Xu was helpless and said, "Grandma, just bring two sets of school uniforms." He took out a lot of unnecessary things. After all, it was not his first time to go to high school, nor was he a real high school student. He did not need to be taken care of.
Since he entered the book, Lin Xu has tried to reduce the troubles of his family as much as possible. He rarely asked for anything, but often advised his family not to pay too much attention to him.
Now, he was packing his things, looked at his phone, and hesitated for a moment.
Once in the dormitory, he would definitely have to accept stricter management. Every day, teachers from each class would patrol the corridor and would not leave until 10 o'clock in the evening. He might not have many opportunities to use his mobile phone.
However, thinking about Gu Jinzhi, Lin Xu still brought it with him, but he sent him a message in advance to explain: "Zhizhi, I'm busy in the next week and may not be able to reply to the message in time."
Seeing that the other party did not reply immediately, Lin Xu then put on his backpack and left home.
After getting off the bus and arriving near the school, Lin Xu subconsciously glanced at the hotel entrance from the side of the road. The next time he could come out would be after he finished the college entrance examination. By then, he could not think of a reason to explain, so he just had to be honest.
If Zhizhi was in college at the age of 20, it would not be much different when he went to college. For Zhizhi, there should not be too big a generation gap. According to his original plan, he also wanted to apply for a school in the capital.
But he had to explain to his family that he would have a boyfriend and confess his sexual orientation, and that he had just finished the college entrance examination. This made Lin Xu quite depressed. He was indeed worried that his grandparents would be frightened. After all, although the younger generation had already taken it for granted, it would be difficult for the older generation to accept it.
He would have to have a good communication with Zhizhi at that time. He might not be able to be as honest with his family as she was with him so early.
Of course, the above were all what Lin Xu had imagined with courage. When the day came for him to really confess, he might also be very embarrassed and find it difficult to think of himself as the other party's boyfriend.
Zhizhi doesn't know his identity now, so he is not that nervous facing her, because they don't need to have too much close contact, and because Gu Jinzhi only treats him as a half-acquaintance, but what about the day when Zhizhi finds out?
Just as he was thinking this, Lin Xu saw a Maserati parked not far away. It was not until the person inside half showed his head that he remembered that this seemed to be the car that Gu Jinzhi drove when he first met him.
Now he suddenly realized that he had a deeper understanding of the fact that Gu Jinzhi's family was rich, which he had always forgotten.
In the original book, Gu Jinzhi was able to help Zoe gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, which didn't seem like something an ordinary wealthy male college student could do.
Lin Xu paused for a moment and looked over there subconsciously.
Until Gu Jinzhi and the others got out of the car, everyone was dressed in suits and leather shoes. Two of them were middle-aged men in their forties or fifties. They were very respectful in front of Gu Jinzhi and had ingratiating smiles on their faces.
Gu Jinzhi no longer had the youthful aura he had yesterday or even a few days ago. He was just like the first time he met him, distant but with aura.
Before, Lin Xu thought that it might be some kind of cosplay or that he was dressed like that for some formal occasion. After all, he had a preconceived impression of Gu Jinzhi. After realizing that it was Gu Jinzhi, he automatically tried to smooth things over for him in his heart.
But now the other party looked like a shrewd businessman in the business world, mature and steady, and he didn't look like he was in his twenties anymore.
He could still hear them talking about words like planning.
Gu Jinzhi saw him, nodded slightly as if to an acquaintance, then turned around and concentrated on his own affairs while walking into the hotel. Anyway, there was nothing to hide about this classmate, as he had been seen in many embarrassing situations.
To him, this male classmate was like another existence between a stranger and an acquaintance.
The sound of leather shoes still lingered in his ears.
Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and slowly left, with an expression that he didn't know how to describe.
If that was the case... if Gu Jinzhi was actually lying to him... he suddenly realized that they were incompatible.
Under the premise that they are both college students, maybe it is possible. But if Gu Jinzhi is the successful person with a successful career, it seems that there is no possibility between them.
Even though Lin Xu's mental age is that old, the fact is that his resume is very pale. He has not even taken the college entrance examination yet, which is very immature.
But Gu Jinzhi's orientation seems to be that he likes mature men who are older than him.
Lin Xu has been pretending to be a mature man for so long, and now he has to show his true colors.
He now thinks that maybe Gu Jinzhi will not necessarily be fooled. After all, he has not read the original book, but only vaguely seen the poster promotion of the anime adaptation. He vaguely remembers the outline of the story, but he does not fully understand what it is about. At the beginning, it seems that he is self-righteous and has excessive sympathy.
Lin Xu walked into the school in silence, and had to shake off his distracting thoughts and cheer up to go to the college entrance examination.
There were four people living in one dormitory, all of whom were classmates. After Lin Xu found his bed, he packed his things and started to review.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, the grade would also hold a ceremony for the third year of high school, so under such a tight schedule, there was no need to go to class to let the teacher give lectures.
Several rounds of review had already been completed, and the next step was up to the students' luck.
As the seed player of Class 9, Lin Xu was naturally loved and cared for by the head teacher and other teachers, so he received special care from the teachers who often passed by.
The students who shared the same dormitory with him were sitting at their desks and shouting, "Lin Xu, it's all because of you that I don't dare to play with my mobile phone now!" "
Old Wang is too scary. He pops his head out of the window from time to time and doesn't allow us to close the door."
Lin Xu could only smile helplessly. He was a person who could concentrate more. Even if his heart was not calm, he could concentrate on the paper and pen in his hand.
Time passed quickly when he was not distracted. It was not until he felt a soreness in his back and looked at his watch that he realized it was ten o'clock and it was time for a break.
He didn't look at his mobile phone all day, firstly because the objective conditions did not allow it, and secondly because his subjective emotions were not clear.
However, Lin Xu thought about it and quietly picked up his phone to go to the toilet.
Today, the other roommates in the dormitory have been playing with their phones and have been peeing frequently.
Looking again, there are indeed a lot of messages, and the latter ones seem anxious because he did not respond.
At the very end, Gu Jinzhi began to hope to video chat with him again, and the request was more urgent than the last time.
Lin Xu had other ideas in his mind, but it was not his style not to reply. He refused dryly: "It's not very convenient." This time, he didn't even dare to call her nickname.
Because he was sure that exposing himself at this time would only bring embarrassment to the two of them, especially to Gu Jinzhi.
Now he can be sure that if Gu Jinzhi knew that he was a high school student with such a big gap in social experience and age, she would be disappointed.
So, perhaps it is best that this online love has no result.
Gu Jinzhi finally worked hard for a day and took up his role as general manager. He felt that he was not young anymore. He
always ran into that high school student these days, and he often thought he was still young.
When he saw Amour said that he was busy recently and couldn't reply in time, Gu Jinzhi was a little annoyed. He felt that it must not be that simple. Usually, the other party would not even work overtime and would not see him for a whole day. How could he be so busy now?
Seeing that there was still no progress, Gu Jinzhi thought that if he didn't meet in person, he would go back soon, so he couldn't help but suggest a video call again. Sure
enough, he was rejected again.
This won't work. Wouldn't he have worked out in vain!
Video is such a simple thing, just turn on the camera, there is no inconvenience, it's just that he doesn't want to. But the other party didn't want to, and he had no other choice.
Xu Zhou, his bad friend, asked about the progress every now and then, but Gu Jinzhi was too embarrassed to tell him that he had been here for such a long time but still hadn't seen any trace of him.
"You haven't found him yet? Tsk tsk, I told you to check it out earlier." Xu Zhou said with a smile.
Gu Jinzhi retorted: "I'm not that kind of person." He didn't sound so righteous when he said it.
"He doesn't want to video chat or post photos, I don't know why." Gu Jinzhi still couldn't figure it out, but he wasn't so embarrassed that he couldn't see anyone.
"Has he become strange recently?" Hearing this, Xu Zhou became a little interested. He felt that it was really unacceptable that Gu Jinzhi had been lurking for so long and still hadn't found anyone.
"It seems so. The feeling he gave me on the Internet has become unreal." Gu Jinzhi thought about it, not knowing whether he was fully devoted to the process of finding the other party, or whether Amour was really distracted.
Inexplicably, Amour became mysterious, as if he was distracted by other things. The occasional topics were not consistent, as if they were just opened. His impression of his boyfriend became less and less profound.
"He is so unwilling to see you?"
"He used to be willing to send photos and call me. He obviously valued me very much. Now he seems to be unable to do so. It's like he is afraid of something." Gu Jinzhi felt more and more that something was wrong. He frowned and felt weird.
If he hadn't discussed it with Xu Zhou, he would never have been able to tell.
"Every time I think I'm going to find him, but every time it's all just a bubble."
"Hmm... Is there a possibility that he has already discovered you?"
