The coming-of-age ceremony is for the entire third year of high school, including the international class. Many international class students applied to foreign universities with world rankings that are not lower than Q University, and are even higher, but the students who spoke on behalf of the international class did not have the same treatment as Lin Xu. For most students
, the college entrance examination is the most fair and broad path, so the appeal of the top scorer in the college entrance examination is naturally greater than that of students studying abroad.
After all, not all children from all families have the opportunity to receive elite education and go to study abroad without any pain or itching.
When the ceremony officially started, almost everyone had arrived, and the scene was very grand.
Watching her boyfriend go backstage to prepare, Gu Jinzhi's eyes were filled with soft emotions.
There was a sense of relief that his partner had grown up. From a distance, even the back of his neck looked slender and solemn, like the neck of a swan.
Of course, he didn't mean to think of himself as a toad. Gu Jinzhi was also very confident in his looks. Money couldn't conquer Lin Xu, so it could only be said that it was his charm that conquered Lin Xu. This realization made Gu Jinzhi very proud.
There were a lot of people, and the seats around him were slowly filled.
Gu Jinzhi looked very young, and the people sitting around him were naturally students. The parents went to sit with the parents of their classmates.
Gu Jinzhi crossed his legs and waited for his boyfriend to come out, while looking around boredly. He was also a person who couldn't sit still. From time to time, he would check the group chat and listen to the idle chats around him.
There were boys and girls at the same table. The suits they wore looked custom-made, so they must be from wealthy families. Of course, they chose to sit next to Gu Jinzhi just now, probably because they were attracted to trendy people. After all, Gu Jinzhi's aura of wealth was hard to conceal.
"After getting the offer from L University, I went abroad for more than ten days. If my mother hadn't asked me to come back for the coming-of-age ceremony, I would have been too lazy to come back."
"I went to Iceland. The scenery there is really beautiful."
Some classmates chattered, while others were silent. It seemed that their families were not yet able to travel abroad at will.
Gu Jinzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with what he heard. He just thought that these kids were very playful, just like he used to be. Unlike his son Lin Xu, who also spent every day in the library during the summer vacation, if she didn't like her boyfriend, she would have squeezed out their time together.
This might be the difference between a genius student and other students. Thinking of this, Gu Jinzhi began to admire her boyfriend again.
Until Lin Xu slowly came out, Gu Jinzhi was about to take a video of Lin Xu with his mobile phone, and he heard the voices of the children around him again.
"I really didn't expect that Lin Xu would get the top score in the general class after joining the college."
A female classmate said, "Well, he is very good. When he left, I felt that he had changed a lot. He was a dark horse."
Many others were disdainful: "But the Q University he worked so hard to get into is not as ranked as L University. Undergraduates with good grades at Q University have to study abroad for gold, and those with not so good grades stay in the university for graduate studies."
"This is already a very good result for him. After all, studying abroad costs a lot of money. I saw in an interview that he was a left-behind child raised by his grandparents. His family should be just average. If he has to work as a dishwasher to study abroad, he might as well not go abroad." I searched the interview online specifically. In fact, I do care.
This is a bit too much. After all, not everyone in the international class is rich. Most of them are from well-off families. However, a few students from wealthy families are too ostentatious. They have applied for very good schools, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
"If you say so, I'd better not sit here." The female classmate was a little angry.
"Hey, hey, hey? I'm not talking about you. Didn't you apply for a scholarship? We are talking about Lin Xu. Okay, okay, let's not talk about it."
"I heard that Lin Xu's scholarship is hundreds of thousands, and the school gave a lot. This is the first time our school is so generous."
"That's nothing. I have to spend so much for a trip..."
No matter how carefree Gu Jinzhi is, she can hear something wrong when she hears them talking about Lin Xu. My goodness, are these kids making fun of his boyfriend?
Gu Jinzhi recorded the video calmly, glancing at them at the same time. Indeed, some of them looked arrogant and smug.
From childhood to adulthood, no one dared to be more arrogant than Gu Jinzhi in front of him. He thought that he was indeed a second-generation rich kid, but he was not so annoying during his adolescence. At least he would not meddle in other people's family affairs.
Gu Jinzhi has always disliked hearing others say that Lin Xu is a left-behind child. He would feel uncomfortable if the report wrote so. Even if it was a positive report, he would feel distressed. Now he never thought that something that should be pitied could be ridiculed?
He knew that even if his boyfriend was with a lavish man like him, he would never care about his family background, and certainly would not take such remarks to heart. But Gu Jinzhi was too empathetic for her boyfriend, and now she was both angry and distressed.
On the podium, Lin Xu was conscientiously delivering an impromptu speech. Every time he was given a task that made him very nervous, he would complete it very seriously, and even pay attention to the skills and tone of his speech.
During the speech, many people were already attracted.
Although Gu Jinzhi didn't like to be preached, she was very moved when she heard her boyfriend speak, and wondered how Lin Xu could be so outstanding and so good.
While he was recording the video, there was also a heated discussion in the group.
"Zoe is here, the music is so exciting!"
"He is very conspicuous in the center position, but he doesn't look as good as on the poster. Is it because of the camera? He looks a little bit fat and his face is a little weird."
"It's like this on camera. Many celebrities are much better looking in real life than on camera. I have seen Zoe offline, he is very handsome."
Another wave was live broadcasting from the affiliated middle school. They were all adults and had no interest in listening to the school leaders' speeches. But the school's arrangement was very suitable, and Lin Xu was the first one.
"Woo woo woo! Little brother is out, so elegant, his back is so straight!"
"Why doesn't he smile, I've never seen little brother smile, are all academic gods so cold?"
"His voice is so nice, I'm willing to be lectured hehe~ If there is such a little brother who tells me bedtime stories, I will risk my life to make money to support him."
"What? You said the camera will make people ugly, no, little brother Lin Xu looks better in the video than in the photo, and the live broadcast is not post-edited."
"Uh, Qiuqiu, don't post screenshots in the group, I don't like to chase stars, and the clothes are too few and look a little greasy..."
"Zoe's face looks a little swollen in this animated picture, did he have an injection? The dance is okay, it's pretty neat."
Lin Xu stood on the stage, his palms a little sweaty, and in his mind he just treated the people in the audience as carrots. He always did this, so he would not be so nervous.
Suddenly, he saw a pair of white hands in the crowd holding up a mobile phone to take a photo. Lin Xu was very embarrassed at first and was about to look away, until he saw Gu Jinzhi's face.
The pressure in his heart suddenly disappeared, and Zhizhi was sitting below watching him.
Gu Jinzhi also noticed that Lin Xu had noticed him, so he smiled and waved to Lin Xu.
Lin Xu habitually pursed his lips and smiled at him, then he continued his speech with a serious face. That second was very short, but it did not escape the eyes of everyone.
Gu Jinzhi covered her heart, feeling like she was about to be melted by her boyfriend's sweetness, and then she realized that he was not the only one who was melted, and she was instantly speechless.
"Damn! My brother just smiled, it's so warm! It's really good for him to smile more!"
"If he looks at me and smiles, it will really be..."
"Can I wear a pair of pants..."
The speech was very short. After Lin Xu finished speaking, he felt relieved and bowed politely before leaving the stage. There was a loud applause from the audience, and Gu Jinzhi's applause was particularly loud, causing his classmates to look at him sideways.
This man looked very handsome and fashionable, but why did he feel a little silly now...
until they saw Lin Xu walking towards them after leaving the stage.
"Why is he here? We are not in the same class now." Some boys were puzzled, thinking that Lin Xu came to reminisce with them.
"Why can't he come?" Gu Jinzhi said lazily, holding his chin and looking at these naughty kids.
Everyone's eyes were even more confused, they didn't expect that Lin Xu knew this man.
At first, Lin Xu only saw Gu Jinzhi, who was a stranger. Later, when he came closer, he didn't realize that these were his classmates from the international class before, and his impression of them was no longer deep.
He naturally found a chair next to Gu Jinzhi and sat down. When he was with Gu Jinzhi, Lin Xu was at least not so embarrassed to meet strangers, anyway, there was no need to communicate.
"You just spoke very well." Gu Jinzhi quietly took Lin Xu's hand under the table and praised him in his ear.
Fortunately, only the two of them heard it, otherwise Lin Xu would be dead in the society again. Even so, his ears were slightly red.
"Yeah."
Then the female classmate started to bless him: "Lin Xu, congratulations on your success in the college entrance examination."
Lin Xu was a little confused at first why she was talking to him, and then he looked at the other person's face and slowly remembered that this seemed to be his classmate when he was in the international class.
Thinking about it carefully, there were a lot of them, but he just had no contact with them.
"Thank you." He also nodded politely. Since they were not very familiar with each other, he was a little embarrassed.
"Aren't there only grandpa and grandma in your house? They didn't come to the coming-of-age ceremony?" The boy who had been arrogant before asked him.
Lin Xu felt that his attitude was not very friendly and puzzled. They were not familiar with each other.
So he just replied simply: "Yeah." Grandpa accompanied grandma to the hospital for a physical examination today, so he asked them not to go to the trouble of coming and sitting for a few hours. Besides, he has already become an adult and has already celebrated his 18th birthday.
Secondly, it would not be good for the old man to think too much if Zhizhi came to accompany him.
"Ah, so pitiful..."
Gu Jinzhi looked at the man with a smile: "Why, can't you see me?" He pretended to ask Lin Xu: "Brother, this is your classmate? Why are you so rude." The man was rebuked and was speechless for a while. They didn't know that Lin Xu had a brother. When they saw them getting to know each other, they were indeed still wondering what the relationship was. Lin Xu
, who was forced to be a younger brother, knew that Gu Jinzhi's acting addiction had come back, but he also knew that Gu Jinzhi was a little uncomfortable, so he let him play now. "You just said that you got an offer from L University?" Gu Jinzhi asked him with a smile. Gu Jinzhi still felt very oppressive to people other than Lin Xu, especially when he was deliberately stern. "Yeah, what's the matter? L University is four or five places higher than Q University in the world ranking." The classmate replied stubbornly. After all, he was used to being a thorn in the side, and he didn't know that he had bumped into a big thorn. He just thought that since Lin Xu's family background was average, then Lin Xu's brother must be average too, just dressed better, because who doesn't have two expensive suits? "L University is very good. There are several employees in my company who graduated from L University. They are really excellent. Now their annual salary is more than one million, and they have great prospects." Gu Jinzhi nodded and praised. But the male classmate's face turned ugly, knowing that Gu Jinzhi was trying to destroy his prestige. Lin Xu's brother really runs a company? He didn't believe it. "Who doesn't brag... Ha." He murmured stubbornly, but he couldn't tell whether Gu Jinzhi's words were true or false. After all, this man had a natural temperament of a second-generation rich man who was carefree. He usually wouldn't pretend to be so relaxed and confident. "Little classmate, haven't you seen a lot of the world? Brother will take you for a ride?" Gu Jinzhi tapped the table in front of him slowly with his fingers, looking straight at him. Lin Xu glanced sideways and rubbed his forehead. After all, Zhizhi beside him was full of bking's aura, and the social bull had a tantrum. But many little boys are susceptible to this kind of provocation, perhaps because they share the same magnetic field of the childish bking. "Okay, let's go. I want to see how powerful Lin Xu's brother is." The boy stood up suddenly, and several other classmates followed to watch the excitement. The boy followed behind Gu Jinzhi and heard the shaking of the car key in his hand. He thought it was at most a BMW, which a well-off family could buy with their savings. It was not very impressive. Until they came to the parking lot and saw Gu Jinzhi use the remote control to open the door of one of the cars. It was a yellow sports car. It was not a popular brand, but those who knew cars well knew that it was a limited edition with only a few in the country, and the price was eight figures. From the appearance of this car, you can tell that a rich second-generation who is rich and loves to show off would like it. "Have you seen it in a magazine, kid? Hmm?" Gu Jinzhi asked him lazily, leaning against the car. She had no shame for being an adult and pretending to be cool in front of an 18-year-old boy. Today, he had to give Lin Xu a face. Who said he was a left-behind child? Doesn't he have a good brother? ! "I..." The boy wanted to say something, but he couldn't help but touch the car body, his eyes full of admiration.
His family is very rich, but his father will never spend so much money to buy him such a sports car in this lifetime, because compared with the value of driving, its concept of showing off is stronger, but it is really cool.
"Little boy, don't keep talking about going abroad in the future, it's very pitiful." Gu Jinzhi looked at him and shrugged, as if he didn't know what to say.
The boy failed to pretend to be cool today, but he didn't have the confidence to say anything, so he could only snort and look at Lin Xu. If he
had such an awesome brother, he shouldn't have said it earlier, otherwise he might have been able to sit with him today.
"I apologize, I was rude just now." The boy said to Lin Xu reluctantly, and then shouted and left. He was mainly afraid that if he didn't express his opinion, he would be a joke among his classmates in the future. After all, so many people were here today, and it would definitely be spread out.
Lin Xu actually has a rich and protective brother, but this idiot is still bumping into him.
The other people also looked at Lin Xu in disbelief. They just felt sorry for Lin Xu being ridiculed, but they didn't expect that he was not really ordinary.
After they left, Gu Jinzhi stopped pretending and laughed triumphantly.
"This naughty kid... is so damn embarrassing hahahaha."
Lin Xu knew that Gu Jinzhi wanted to stand up for him. Although he didn't care at all in his heart, he still felt Gu Jinzhi's care for him. After all, she was willing to call herself his brother in front of outsiders, which Gu Jinzhi was usually reluctant to do.
After laughing, Gu Jinzhi looked at the prince-like boy in front of him and felt a little embarrassed again.
"I said he is a naughty kid, but you are an adult!" Gu Jinzhi cleared his throat and said guiltily. Although they are students of the same grade, this matter should be treated differently.
He is the elder of the other children, and there is no conflict with him being Lin Xu's boyfriend.
Lin Xu smiled helplessly: "Yeah." Indeed, he thinks Gu Jinzhi is also a naughty kid plus version.
"Are you going back?" Lin Xu asked him, after all, he had finished his speech.
"No, it's boring. Let's go for a ride~" Gu Jinzhi opened the passenger seat for him and said with a smile.
He was just joking, he would not allow others to ride in his car, only Lin Xu.
"You know, a lot of people in the group were watching your live broadcast just now." Gu Jinzhi said, feeling sour in her heart, but also very proud, after all, they can only see but not touch.
Lin Xu: "Ah? How about I quit the group." It would be fine if he didn't read the group messages, but Gu Jinzhi took the initiative to tell him, which was too awkward.
"They said you are prettier than Zoe, I am so beautiful." Gu Jinzhi continued to say, feeling quite proud, after all, they had mocked themselves for having poor taste before, and also mocked Amour, who knew that they and Lin Xu were the same person.
"..." Zhizhi is really childish, Lin Xu sighed helplessly, he is not like Gu Jinzhi who likes to join in the fun, he only cares about his own life and the people around him.
Gu Jinzhi looked at his fair neck, and suddenly had a strong possessive desire. This boy was his, he had to protect him, and she just fell in love with him.
"Xiao Xu, shouldn't you thank me..." Gu Jinzhi looked at him with a wandering look, and said with a guilty conscience that he wanted to do something bad again.
"What? How to thank?" Lin Xu looked at him puzzledly.
Gu Jinzhi now ruthlessly overturned his own words that he was not obsessed with face. He simply longed for his boyfriend's face every day, and would become impulsive when he saw it.
Suddenly Lin Xu felt a heat on his neck, and was startled again. He thought that it was exciting enough when Zhizhi kissed his lips tonight. After all, his heart was about to jump out, and Zhizhi was usually as well-behaved as he was. He thought she should be as slow to warm up as he was.
Gu Jinzhi sucked on Lin Xu's neck gently, as if he had eaten swan meat. The feeling of being cleansed was so strong that he was reluctant to let go.
His brother was right. It turned out that people like him really like to fall in love!
Lin Xu didn't dare to move or speak, for fear that his neck would itch if he spoke. He only knew that his neck and shoulders continued to heat up.
"Zhi... Zhi? Is it okay..." Lin Xu didn't dare to push him away, but it was too long. He was worried that Zhizhi would accidentally bite his neck with such force.
Gu Jinzhi let go, and the blood in his body was surging.
"Wait... I'll pose for another picture..." Gu Jinzhi had kissed enough and took a few pictures of Lin Xu's neck with his mobile phone.
In the photo, one can only see a white neck and clear blue veins, a touch of red like scraping, and a small mole under the earlobe.
The skin, which was originally as flawless as white jade, suddenly had a beauty that was destroyed because of that wild kiss.
Gu Jinzhi pursed his lips and thought guiltily, then he was the beast.
The guilt of eating young grass did not last for three seconds, and Gu Jinzhi happily posted it on his Moments, not allowing his relatives to see it, especially his brother.
But in fact, everyone can see it! He thought that those chicken-like group members, like Sherlock Holmes, would soon find out the clues.
This piece of young grass was picked by him!
Lin Xu never thought that Gu Jinzhi was so obscene in his heart. He just felt cute watching her poking the screen with her fingers.
He covered his neck and couldn't help but look at Gu Jinzhi's red lips. His heart was confused and dazed.
It was like a sports car, taking him to the edge of the endless city. There was no navigation, no idea of the way forward, only the throbbing of his heart and the beating of his blood.
