Become a one-time character in a comic

On the first day of the holiday, Huo Ting found that Gu Mingxing was weird. He touched Xu Yan's arm and asked in a low voice, "Hey, do you think Gu Mingxing doesn't know Chen Kang?"

Xu Yan was always attentive in class. When Huo Ting asked this, he glanced at Gu Mingxing and continued to copy notes on the blackboard: "Yes, a little bit."

"It's not my illusion," Huo Ting rested his arms on the table, his chin on the tiger's mouth between his thumb and index finger, thinking like a detective, staring at Gu Mingxing and Chen Kang with his own eyes.

clap clap-

"Huo Ting!" The teacher patted the blackboard: "What are you looking at? If you have so much free time, come up and solve the problem on the right."

Huo Ting pursed his lips, stood up awkwardly and said, "Teacher, I...can't..."

The teacher, who was a little irritable, said speechlessly: "You don't know how to study hard, do you know what I just said?"

Huo Ting's little hand secretly tugged at Xu Yan's clothes, sending a "help" signal. Xu Yan moved the textbook a little closer to him and pointed to the notes written on it. Huo Ting secretly looked at the handwriting he pointed at and asked the teacher carefully: "Teacher, are you teaching English now?"

The whole class burst into laughter. Xu Yan covered his face speechlessly. Huo Ting heard the laughter of the whole class and knew that he had said the wrong thing.

The teacher was so angry that he laughed, and asked with a dagger hidden in his smile: "What did I teach originally?"

Huo Ting knew that the teacher was angry and laughed, and he also knew that the teacher taught mathematics. He said to the teacher in a hurry: "Teacher, I am like this because of Gu Mingxing!"

Gu Mingxing looked back at him with a puzzled look and looked at him in disbelief. Gu Mingxing even suspected that he had just heard it wrong, but Huo Ting looked straight at him, and he knew that what he had just heard was not wrong.

In the teacher's eyes, Huo Ting was just making excuses for his behavior. He saw Gu Mingxing listening and studying well without any movement. How could it cause Huo Ting to not listen seriously? The teacher instantly flew into a rage and pointed at the door of the classroom and shouted to Huo Ting: "Go out and stand in the corner."

"Teacher, it's really because of him that I..."

That sounded like an excuse to the teacher, and he issued a warning: "Get out."

Under the gaze of the whole class, Huo Ting walked out of the classroom helplessly and unwillingly, standing by the door as punishment.

After class, the teacher did not ask Huo Ting to write a self-criticism or go to the office for a talk. Instead, he let him go if he was more serious in class next time, and repeatedly emphasized that he was teaching mathematics.

Huo Ting walked into the classroom and saw that Chen Kang was not in his seat, while Gu Mingxing was sitting in his seat reading a book. He sat in Chen Kang's seat and asked, "did you have a fight with your deskmate?"

Gu Mingxing looked at him with disdain: "Am I sick to quarrel with him?"

"Then why do you two look like you don't know each other?"

Gu Mingxing lay on the table and prepared to sleep: "I didn't know him in the first place," he said, and then buried his head in his arms and fell asleep.

Huo Ting returned to his seat and said to Xu Yan as if sharing gossip: "Gu Mingxing said he didn't know Chen Kang. Did the two have a quarrel?"

Xu Yan copied down his own wrong questions and simply responded to what he said: "Gu Mingxing has been acting strange since he came back from watching the lanterns."

Huo Ting thought about his words carefully, and suddenly realized: "It seems so." He left his seat, and Xu Yan didn't care where he went.

Xu Yan went to Gu Mingxing and asked, "What happened to your deskmate?"

Gu Mingxing buried his head and said nothing. Xu Yan sat next to him and touched him: "I know you are not asleep."

"My deskmate is not here," Gu Mingxing only replied with this sentence. Xu Yan asked, "Why do I feel that this Chen Kang is not the Chen Kang from last week?"

Gu Mingxing's body froze for a second, and then Xu Yan heard his chuckling tone: "Don't they all look the same? What's the difference?"

Xu Yan stood up and looked at him: "If you don't want to say it, I won't ask."

After Xu Yan left, Gu Mingxing raised his head and let out a long sigh.

In the corridor of the classroom, Huo Ting blocked Chen Kang's way after seeing him coming back. Chen Kang glanced at him with a serious expression: "Student Huo Ting, why are you stopping me?"

Huo Ting looked at him as if he saw a new species, squinting his eyes and looking at him carefully. Chen Kang asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"Why do I feel like you not only don't recognize Gu Mingxing, but also don't recognize me?" Huo Ting frowned slightly: "Did you call your classmates like this before?"

"what?"

"'Student Huo Ting', did you call other people that before?"

Chen Kang answered very honestly: "I always answer my classmates like this, and I just call my friends by their names or nicknames."

Huo Ting shook his head and smacked his lips: "It's different, really different." Huo Ting asked a question that made Chen Kang incredible: "Who are you?"

Chen Kang felt that there was something wrong with his brain, so he chose not to pay attention to anything he said and walked around him and went back to the classroom.

Huo Ting followed him back to the classroom and saw that Gu Mingxing, who was sitting next to Chen Kang, didn't even look at Chen Kang. Has this happened before?

No.

In the past, no matter what Chen Kang did, Gu Mingxing would look at Chen Kang, and the two would talk with a smile, and today Gu Mingxing did not give Chen Kang orange juice.

Huo Ting felt something was wrong, really wrong. It didn't seem like a quarrel, as if this "Chen Kang" was not the "Chen Kang" they knew before.

Gu Mingxing was bored and wrote a name on the blank space in the middle of the draft paper which was densely covered with beautiful handwriting - Yu Xiaoan.

After he failed to wait for her at the entrance of Huadeng Street last time, he knew that Chen Kang was no longer Yu Xiaoan, so she and he were out of touch.

He once again didn't know where to find her, nor did he know what her identity was this time. Could it be that she was in a dangerous position, doing something dangerous...

He is worried about her.

Yu Xiaoan was holding the banner she made in the printing shop and sitting on the bus to the No. 11 Middle School in Puzhen City. Her cell phone was broken and she couldn't make any calls. After being taken home by the old lady's son and daughter-in-law, she tried to call Gu Mingxing. After all, he was her only friend in this world.

In this two-dimensional world for her, Gu Mingxing is a special existence. Being connected to him gives her a sense of reality that she is still a human being.

Although she couldn't contact him, she knew where he was and all she had to do was go find him.

And she happened to choose to go to school during lunch time.

She explained her purpose to the security guard, who contacted the academic dean. When the academic dean heard about the kind behavior of his school's students and that the people who were helped came with banners, he walked over happily.

The Dean of Academic Affairs came in person, and soon the principal also came. After Yu Xiaoan told the principal and the Dean of Academic Affairs the whole story, he gave them the banner.

"Can I walk around the school, please?"

"Of course," the Dean of Academic Affairs kindly supported her and said, "I'll take you around the school and introduce our school to you."

"Then why are you so embarrassed?"

"This is what we should do," the dean said, seemingly not bothered at all.

The dean took Yu Xiaoan downstairs. She listened to the dean introducing the school's history and some of its achievements. To be honest, Yu Xiaoan couldn't laugh, but in the adult world, it's inevitable to smile. She smiled and agreed with the dean's introduction.

She was a little tired of laughing and now just wanted to go to the cafeteria to find Gu Mingxing.

The dean and she were walking around the playground. When Yu Xiaoan saw Bairuan and her friend, she pointed at Bairuan excitedly as if she had discovered something precious and said, "That child helped me." Yu Xiaoan patted the dean's hand and said, "The children in your school are all good kids."

When the dean heard this, he began to praise and introduce the school.

Yu Xiaoan listened with a smile.

When they arrived at the campus supermarket, the dean introduced everything to her and took her inside to have a look. There was no need for the dean to introduce anything here as she was very familiar with it. She knew how many shelves and freezers there were, which shelf the daily necessities were on, and what brand of beverages were in each freezer without going in.

Yu Xiaoan saw a familiar person standing in front of the freezer choosing drinks. He was different from what he had seen in the past. It was rare to see him with no expression on his face, and it was also rare to see him so cold.

She ignored the dean's introduction and walked directly to his side to look at the drinks in the freezer with him: "You didn't break your chin again today, did you? Do you need a Band-Aid?"

The boy who was standing in front of the freezer with an expressionless face immediately changed his face when he heard this - surprise.

"Yu Xiao..."

Gu Mingxing saw her smiling and shaking her head slightly, and immediately understood, and greeted politely: "Hello, grandma, what would you like to drink?"

"Orange juice."

"Okay," Gu Mingxing walked quickly to the shelf where orange juice was placed excitedly.

The Dean of Studies came over and asked, "Do you know this student?"

Now the expression on Yu Xiaoan's face was a genuine smile. She nodded: "I know him. He is my neighbor's child. Can I ask him to show me around the school?"

The dean of studies was already quite busy, and he had also found the student who had received the banner. In order to find that student, he asked Gu Mingxing to take Yu Xiaoan around the school and reminded him to be careful with the elderly.

Gu Mingxing and Yu Xiaoan sat on the stands of the playground. He helped her insert the straw into the orange juice before giving it to her. Yu Xiaoan laughed at his care and said, "I'm not that old yet."

Although he said this, Yu Xiaoan still took the orange juice from his hand.

Gu Mingxing held the ice soda with water droplets in his hand. The water droplets condensed along his hand and passed through the bottle and fell at his feet. He did not speak in the same way as the water droplets along the bottle, but said like the water droplets dripping on the ground: "Xu Yan and Huo Ting noticed that something was wrong with Chen Kang, and more people knew about you."

“Is that so?” Yu Xiaoan said, not caring at all: “It seems that they have nothing to do with the original work.”

"What do you mean?"

Yu Xiaoan looked at the blue sky. There were a few white clouds floating in the sky. Under the blue sky, these white clouds looked very small. She pointed at the sky and said, "My understanding is that this cloud is the original comic plot, and this blue sky is this world. The blue sky is big, and the white clouds are small. If the white clouds do not change, the blue sky will not care about its own changes."

Seeing Gu Mingxing's puzzled expression, she smiled and explained, "Chen Kang is a character that will appear in the comics. He will be affected by the plot. This influence seems inevitable. But Xu Yan, Huo Ting and you are all outside the plot. You are not affected by the plot. In other words, you will remember what you see and experience."

"If I become the character in the plot you mentioned," Gu Mingxing looked at her: "Will I forget you then?"

The wind blew and ruffled the boy's hair, but she faced the wind with her hair neat and tidy.

Yu Xiaoan smiled and said, "I will never forget that you are my only friend here."

She turned her head away from him, and he knew she wasn't answering his question, she was just answering a non-existent question.

The atmosphere right now is a bit sad.

"I went to see the lanterns last time. They were beautiful. It's a pity that someone didn't go," Gu Mingxing said with a sarcastic shrug, "There are riddles on those lanterns."

"What?!" Yu Xiaoan looked at him fiercely, grabbed his arm and asked, "Didn't I ask you to take a picture? Let me see."

Gu Mingxing looked at her in astonishment, pretending that he couldn't believe what he heard: "What? What did I hear? Is the old lady instigating students to use mobile phones in school? I remember the school rules say that students cannot bring mobile phones into the campus."

"Why are you pretending!" Yu Xiaoan shouted angrily, "Don't I know whether you brought it or not? Show me now!"

Gu Mingxing stood up and ran towards the exit: "It's time for class!"

"Gu Mingxing!"

On the playground, a young boy who was laughing heartily was backing away while looking at an elderly woman who was walking slowly and angrily. Although the elderly woman looked angry, one could feel the youthful temperament in her.

"Yu Xiaoan, you walk too slowly, hahahahaha..."

"Gu Mingxing, shut up! If you have the guts, try walking now since your body is so old!"

Gu Mingxing jumped and danced, opened his arms and said proudly: "It's a pity that I'm not that old, you see I can still be like this." He did a standing long jump in front of her, and jumped back before she could catch him.

Yu Xiaoan suddenly stood there motionless, raised his head and looked at him like a thief whose plan was about to succeed: "Do you believe me or not, I will fall down."

"No, no, no," Gu Mingxing was really afraid that she would do what she said, so he immediately ran to his side and supported her. Yu Xiaoan immediately grabbed his clothes and smiled triumphantly: "I got you!"

Gu Mingxing pretended to run away, but he didn't use any force, because he knew that Yu Xiaoan could fall, but her current body couldn't fall. If she fell, Yu Xiaoan would be the one who suffered.

So you can see on the playground an old man pulling a young boy's clothes, the young boy walking in front with a helpless smile on his face as if he had lost, while the old man is laughing wantonly behind him as if he is the winner who has everything under control.

The sun is warm but not hot, and youth is growing freely.
