My Dear Classmate Chapter 7: The relationship between the same table [7]
The old lady didn't ask any more questions until she got off the car. She asked Aunt Qiong to pick her up, and asked Uncle Li to send Gu Zhiran to Gu Beiyi.
Gu Zhiran didn't go to Gu Beiyi's place, he asked Uncle Li to send her to A, her and Qiao Zhishen's alma mater. Middle A is a century-old school, and it is also the best middle school in City A.
Students in a are basically divided into three categories, those with good studies, those with money, and those with power. Gu Zhiran walked in through the main entrance relying on his own ability, which is a good study. And Qiao Zhishen didn't belong to any of these types. He was transferred to their class in the second half of the semester of high school.
On the day Qiao Zhishen reported, he briefly introduced himself on the podium: "Hello everyone! My name is Qiao Zhishen, and I transferred from C City C." Gu Zhiran sat under the stage and looked up at him , I think this new classmate is quite handsome. Although he is wearing a loose school uniform, it can't hide his appearance, but he feels a bit cold, and he is probably not very talkative.
Before she finished evaluating him in her heart, she heard the head teacher say: "Qiao Zhishen, you sit in the empty seat in the fifth row in the middle, next to Gu Zhiran." The sunlight came towards her, so that she couldn't see his face clearly.
Qiao Zhishen slightly opened the chair and sat down, Gu Zhiran consciously moved to the other side. They are the only men and women in the class who sit at the same table, and the other students are male or female at the same table. This kind of recognition made Gu Zhiran blush a little. She didn't dare to look at him, so she could only pretend to be listening to the class seriously. Staring at the blackboard.
The life at the same table kicked off. Qiao Zhishen was as cold as Gu Zhiran had imagined. They sat at the same table for a week without saying a word. With such a big iceberg beside him, Gu Zhiran began to miss the days when he occupied two seats by himself, and even more missed the days when Ye Qianqian was at the same table with her. Ye Qianqian is her best friend and her first tablemate, but she went to England after a semester in middle school A.
Actually, Qiao Zhishen not only has nothing to say to Gu Zhiran, but also the other students. Although he is in the school, the students here are all good people. Judging from the city C with backward economic development, he is probably a poor boy. I don't know what kind of relatives he relied on to be lucky enough to study in a middle school. In addition, everyone was wearing school uniforms at that time, and the sneakers on the feet were the most show-off, but Qiao Zhishen wore the ones that were not available in China, so you can buy the aj as you like, so everyone believed that he had on his feet It's a cargo.
Gu Zhiran still remembers the first words he said to Qiao Zhishen: "Student, can you teach me this question?" The other students didn't have much friendship either.
At that time, she thought he was so cold and cold, and she didn't expect him to help her. Unexpectedly, he took her problem, looked at it, and began to teach her to do the problem on the draft paper. He taught very seriously, and his words were easy to understand, which made Gu Zhiran understand immediately. Afterwards, she sincerely expressed her gratitude, and promised to ask her to help with anything in the future.
The appearance of her going up the mountain of knives and down the pan of oil for her friends made Qiao Zhishen's iceberg face start to melt, revealing a spring-like smile, and said, "If you don't understand in the future, just ask me."
The harmonious deskmate life of the two began from that day.
Life in high school is very boring, either attending class or doing problems, but since having Qiao Zhishen as his deskmate, Gu Zhiran feels that going to school is something that people look forward to.
With the help of Qiao Zhishen, Gu Zhiran's grades, which were a little bit uneven, finally improved. He was often in the top five in the class, and sometimes he was lucky to stand behind Qiao Zhishen, being the second place . At that time, she felt that she could walk side by side with him.
"Gu Zhiran?" A rough voice called Gu Zhiran from her past thoughts, and when she looked up, she saw the security guy at the school gate waving to her.
"Uncle Wang." Gu Zhiran walked over and smiled at him, "Unexpectedly, you still remember me!"
"Of course I remember. When you were freshman in high school, you would ask for leave and go home every now and then. It's hard not to remember." Uncle Wang joked.
"Hee hee hee... At that time, my health was not very good!" Gu Zhiran scratched her hair in embarrassment. At that time, she often suffered from dysmenorrhea and had to ask for leave to see a doctor.
"Fortunately, your boyfriend ran with you every day afterwards, otherwise, the frequency of asking for leave like you would definitely have an impact on your grades." Uncle Wang said.
"What boyfriend? I didn't have a boyfriend at the time." Gu Zhiran immediately denied it. She knew that Uncle Wang was talking about Qiao Zhishen.
"Oh, Uncle Wang was too young. I still understand the thoughts of you young people. Now that you have all graduated, you don't need to hide it anymore!" Uncle Wang didn't believe her words. Isn’t your running student your boyfriend? Even if it’s not, then he must like you very much, how many of you are willing to run with you like this every day.”
Hearing what Uncle Wang said, Gu Zhiran didn't know how to explain it, but simply said: "He's really not my boyfriend, I just made a bet with him at the time, anyway, that's why I go for a run every day."
"Then he must be the one who lost." Uncle Wang answered immediately.
Gu Zhiran smiled, and didn't say that he was the one who lost, because he felt that this matter was getting darker and darker.
"Uncle Wang, can you let me go to school, I haven't been back for six years!" Gu Zhiran asked.
"Okay, no problem, Uncle Wang will make it easier for you today, but remember to observe discipline." Uncle Wang looked like he was educating students.
"Okay, sure." Gu Zhiran thanked with a smile.
It's summer vacation now, there are no students on campus, Gu Zhiran is walking along the football field lap after lap, the scene of jogging with Qiao Zhishen in the past is clearly presented in his mind as if it happened yesterday. In the past few years, she deliberately didn't think about the past, she thought that she could forget it, and she thought she had forgotten it, but now standing on this track, she even told her about Qiao Zhishen's expression and movements when he was running. If you pass, you can remember it clearly.
"Gu Zhiran, hurry up, your slow speed is different from walking." Qiao Zhishen was a little angry when he said this.
"Gu Zhiran, did you run so slowly on purpose?" Qiao Zhishen frowned slightly when he said this.
"Gu Zhiran, are you pretending to have a stomachache?" Qiao Zhishen looked at her suspiciously, clutching her stomach and saying she was uncomfortable.
"Gu Zhiran, are you really sick? I'll take you to the school infirmary." Qiao Zhishen ran back nervously.
…
Walking and walking, I walked to the previous classroom. The seat in the fifth row in the middle was still the old table and chair. She seemed to see him lowering his head and teaching her how to do the questions seriously; while he disliked the breakfast she bought was not good, he ate up all the breakfast ;When she was about to fall asleep in a physics class, she made a bad show when pinching her arm hard...
Walking around the campus, Gu Zhiran said goodbye to Uncle Wang, and towards dusk, she went to the small beef ramen shop she used to go to.
"Boss lady, have a bowl of beef noodles." Gu Zhiran said to the lady boss who was below.
"Oh, little girl, I haven't seen you here for a long time." The proprietress recognized Gu Zhiran immediately.
"Hee hee hee... I went out to study, and I just came back. I didn't expect you to recognize me, Madam Boss." This familiar feeling made Gu Zhiran feel very warm.
"Of course I do. Before you and your boyfriend came to eat noodles, he reminded me every time that your bowl of noodles should be thick, with less onion and more coriander, a little bit more spicy, and more soup. They all said they remembered, he always reminded me like an old man." The proprietress said happily.
It was another person who misunderstood her relationship with Qiao Zhishen. She didn't bother to explain much, and just said: "Then please trouble the lady boss." Then she went in to find a place.
Now is the summer vacation, there are fewer students, so there are not many people. In the past, every time she came to eat noodles with Qiao Zhishen, it was Qiao Zhishen who ordered food, and she rushed in to take a seat, so she didn't know what the proprietress said.
He used to treat herself so sincerely, she was really comforted, but she felt that it was ironic that he was so kind to her, it was only because of his friend's concern, not her own liking.
The noodles will be ready soon, and the proprietress personally brought them over, "Come and taste, after so many years, have my skills deteriorated?"
"Okay, no problem." Gu Zhiran opened the disposable chopsticks, picked up the noodles and blew them on before eating.
"Delicious, still the same taste as before, still so delicious." Gu Zhiran took a bite and gave the proprietress a thumbs up.
The face of the proprietress blossomed with joy, and she said: "You can eat it as long as you like it. By the way, why didn't you come over with your boyfriend today? He often comes here to eat by himself in the past two years. I asked her why she didn't bring it. You, he said that you have not come back after studying abroad."
"Does he come over often to eat?" Gu Zhiran asked.
"That's right!" said the proprietress. She wanted to chat with Gu Zhiran again, but a few guests just happened to come over, so she let Gu Zhiran eat slowly, and then went back down.
Gu Zhiran ate the noodles slowly, but the tears kept dripping down into the bowl, causing ripples. She didn't mind, she lowered her head and continued to eat bite by mouthful until the last drop of soup was gone. Finished.
This noodle is a bit salty today, probably because of the tears.
She took out a tissue, blew her nose, and wiped her face clean. She didn't need to look in the mirror. She knew that she must look like a monkey's butt, with red eyes, red nose, and red lips.
When she handed the money to the proprietress, she really shocked the proprietress. She simply attributed the reason to the fact that the noodles were so delicious, and it had been a long time since she had eaten such spicy food, and she cried herself.
She said with a smile, the swearing appearance made her seem to believe it herself, and she really cried!
After saying goodbye to the proprietress, Gu Zhiran left.
She told herself that revisiting her hometown today is a farewell to all the past youth stories about Qiao Zhishen and Gu Zhiran.
From now on, she will start again.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly. When she opened her eyes wide again, she revealed unprecedented determination.
Ah Shen, goodbye!
Hello, Qiao Zhishen! From now on, we are old classmates, nothing more!
At this time, she really wanted to make a call to Ye Qianqian. As soon as she took out her phone, she saw an incoming call on the screen...
