Become a one-time character in a comic

Yu Xiaoan and Gu Mingxing sat on the stands of the playground. The weather was getting colder, but they each held an ice cream in their hands.

The two of them were not sitting side by side. It should be said that Yu Xiaoan deliberately did not sit in the same row with him.

After lunch, Yu Xiaoan would help him sort out the knowledge points, but today Yu Xiaoan took the initiative to say that she wanted to sit on the playground for a while, and Gu Mingxing accompanied her without asking the reason.

"Your family... No, it should be that you have encountered something recently?"

Gu Mingxing, who had just put the ice cream in his mouth, took a bite of the ice cream when he heard her question. He didn't look up at her, but lowered his head and murmured, "Why do you ask that?"

Yu Xiaoan looked at the back of his head and said, "I just feel that you have been a little tired recently. I was waiting for you on the first floor yesterday, but you didn't come down..."

"My grandpa is sick..."

Gu Mingxing himself did not expect that he would actually use such a lame excuse to answer Yu Xiaoan's question.

"Is he seriously ill?"

Yu Xiaoan asked very lightly, as if it was not a real thing. Gu Mingxing chuckled and replied, "It's not serious. It will be better soon."

Gu Mingxing turned his head and looked at her: "Aren't you going to ask me what I'm busy with?"

Yu Xiaoan bit into the ice cream and said, "You answered me with 'Grandpa is sick'. If you don't want to say it, then I won't ask. I'm just asking you. The choice of answer is always in your hands."

Yu Xiaoan took several bites of the ice cream in succession. Now not only her mouth felt cold, she felt her head was cold as well. She frowned and moved the ice cream a little further away. Gu Mingxing walked over and sat next to her, taking the ice cream that she didn't want to eat and putting it in a plastic bag together.

Gu Mingxing sorted out the garbage in his hands and said, "He will be sick for a while..."

She watched him tidy up, then looked at him again: "I hope he gets better soon." She stood up, patted the dust off her butt and said: "Let's go, there is still time, we can solve a physics problem."

Gu Mingxing stood up and followed her. He called her name: "Yu Xiaoan."

"Hmm?" She turned around and responded to him.

Gu Mingxing would catch up with her and walk side by side with her: "If, I mean if, if one day I am gone, what will you do?"

In the past, Yu Xiaoan would have said, "Your absence has no impact on my life," but she couldn't say this when she looked at Gu Mingxing, and she didn't think of this sentence in her mind: "I'm probably going to feel bad."

She kicked away the small stone at her feet. The stone was kicked away, drew an arc in the air, and rolled for a distance after falling to the ground. The road became flat.

Gu Mingxing threw the garbage into the trash can and trotted a few steps to catch up with her: "I won't be in a good mood either."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Yu Xiaoan patted his shoulder and asked with a smile: "What are you laughing at?"

"Then what are you laughing at?"

"I don't know." Yu Xiaoan put his hands behind his back and tilted his head to ask, "If you are really gone, where can I find you?"

"Are you coming to find me?"

Yu Xiaoan nodded as a matter of course: "My only friend is gone. If I don't go find him, who can I play with?"

Gu Mingxing smiled and said, "You don't have to look for me, you just need to stand still and I will find you."

Yu Xiaoan smiled but said nothing.

The autumn wind blows gently. It is not strong, but there is an inevitable chill. The fallen leaves are blown to the ground by the wind, covering the way back.

Gu Mingxing went back again, and Yu Xiaoan was called to the corner by Huo Ting again. Yu Xiaoan raised three fingers and said, "This is the third time."

"If you had kept your distance from him, I wouldn't have come to you three times."

"You're a bit like his agent," Yu Xiaoan said with a chuckle, "but you can rest assured that he and I won't have any dealings in the near future."

Huo Ting asked impatiently, "why should I believe you? God knows if you listened to someone and approached him on purpose."

Yu Xiaoan curled his lips and said, "Believe it or not, let's make a bet."

When he said this, Huo Ting became excited: "What are you betting on?"

"He will have no dealings with me after midterm."

Huo Ting thought of the scene where Gu Mingxing excitedly looked for her every time after class. He didn't believe her at all and asked with determination: "What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I will transfer to another school," Yu Xiaoan said with a smile, "On the other hand, if you lose, you have to promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

“I haven’t thought about it yet.” Yu Xiaoan raised his eyebrows and looked at him: “But if I win, that thing will not be achieved as ‘me’, but as ‘Yu Xiaoan’.”

"It's quite troublesome, but I agree." Huo Ting didn't believe she would win at all, because he always felt that Gu Mingxing liked her. He knew Gu Mingxing very well. As long as Gu Mingxing liked something, he would slowly make that thing his own, no matter how long it took.

Yu Xiaoan gave a sympathetic smile. Looking at her expression, Huo Ting felt that she was only being stubborn before her defeat.

"You're quite nice."

Huo Ting proudly put his hands on his waist: "you still need to say that."

Yu Xiaoan thought, he is a good person, except that he sometimes doesn't have any brains.

And what Yu Xiaoan thought was correct.

After Gu Mingxing arrived at school in the morning, he went straight to morning self-study, but the teacher would not supervise him during the morning self-study and would only come to the class occasionally to take a look.

He sat in Xu Yan's seat with a book in his hand: "Where has Xu Yan been these days?"

"Recently, a few people fell on the road and are lying in the hospital. Uncle Xu plans to teach him personally, just like you, and found a reason to let him go back for a week."

Gu Mingxing looked at him with a smile: "You know these things very well."

"That's right," Huo Ting was a little proud when talking about intelligence matters: "Don't you see what my family does? So what do you want to ask me?"

"Have you looked for Zhou Meng?"

"Damn it!" Huo Ting exclaimed. The classmate at the front desk turned around and gave him a warning look. Huo Ting waved his hand apologetically and asked in a low voice: "Did Zhou Meng tell you?"

"No, but I just found out that you looked for her."

Huo Ting patted his mouth. Now that he knew about it, he confessed: "I did look for her to stay away from you."

Gu Mingxing asked calmly: "How many times have you looked for it?"

"Three times," Huo Ting was a little confused: "I don't understand, what do you like about her?"

"You mean Zhou Meng?"

Huo Ting nodded.

"I do not like her."

"You don't like her?" Huo Ting didn't understand even more: "If you don't like her, why do you run to her as soon as the get out of class is over?"

Gu Mingxing avoided the question: "You approached her three times, what was her attitude?"

"We made a bet. You two will have no contact after the midterm. I think she will lose. I know you too well. Even if the thing you like doesn't belong to you now, you will get it slowly."

Gu Mingxing asked: "What did you bet on?"

"If she loses, she will transfer to another school. If I lose, I will promise her something."

Gu Mingxing remained calm: "What's the matter?"

Huo Ting thought of what Zhou Meng said last night and felt strange: "she said she hadn't thought about it, but it was strange. She said that if I lost, that thing would not be realized as 'Zhou Meng', but as 'Yu Xiaoan'. Do you know someone named Yu Xiaoan?"

Gu Mingxing still didn't answer. He took the book and returned to his seat before the teacher came.

Huo Ting thought, they don't really know each other, are Gu Mingxing and Zhou Meng playing well for Yu Xiaoan? He needs to find out who is Yu Xiaoan in the school.

But after checking, he found out that Yu Xiaoan had helped Gu Mingxing before, and the two had no contact after a brief contact, and Yu Xiaoan's family background was a very ordinary family.

Huo Ting looked at the information sent on the phone, puzzled. Could it be that Gu Mingxing could get something from these people?

He couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it, because he believed that Gu Mingxing was not a person who did things without a purpose, except that he was really studying and doing the exercises as if he was preparing for the college entrance examination.

Based on the bet between Yu Xiaoan and Huo Ting, Gu Mingxing knew that Yu Xiaoan would change her identity after the midterm. He really wanted to stay with her more in such a limited time, but he had things to do.

One day he told Yu Xiaoan that he would take a whole day off. Yu Xiaoan just smiled and nodded and asked him what he was going to do.

Gu Mingxing didn't answer her, but just said, "Grandpa needs something."

Yu Xiaoan nodded as if he understood. The word "grandfather" had become a code word between the two of them, a code word for things that could not be said.

Gu Mingxing knew that Yu Xiaoan knew the general meaning of "grandfather", but neither of them understood it. In fact, Yu Xiaoan did not ask further questions and Gu Mingxing did not answer.

Yu Xiaoan just told him not to be too tired, because he was just a student who had just become an adult, and students should enjoy the time they should have.

He smiled softly, nodded and said, "After this matter is finished, it will be a while to relax. Then we can study together."

Yu Xiaoan acted like a teacher: "I am Teacher Yu. Student Gu, you must listen to me and do the questions well."

"Student Gu understands."

Yu Xiaoan smiled maliciously and said, "As the saying goes, 'once a teacher, always a father'. If classmate Gu wants, I can also be your father."

As soon as she said this, she ran away, and Gu Mingxing chased her.

In fact, Gu Mingxing knew that Yu Xiaoan said these words because his expression was not good when he said the code word. She wanted to tease him, but she was a little offended.

Gu Mingxing was arranged to tidy up his appearance, clothes, hairstyle, etc. early in the morning.

He doesn't like these, to him they are troublesome and depressing things.

But reality forced him to do so and he could not resist.

The driver asked, "Master, do you remember what those people look like and what they like?"

Gu Mingxing glanced at him and said, "You wouldn't ask such a question. Did your father ask you to ask this?"

"Yes," the driver answered honestly.

"Tell him not to worry, I will still do the most basic things."

He hated banquets because in his eyes those people were all money-minded and hypocritical people who put profit first and trampled on personal relationships. Behind their glamorous appearance, they were already filthy and stinking.

When he saw these people, he wanted to go back to school to find Yu Xiaoan. He wondered what she was doing during break when he was not there today.

Will she feel bored? Will she buy orange juice herself if he doesn't give her orange juice? Who will she eat with? Will she feel lonely? Will she be in a bad mood?

"Nephew Gu."

Gu Mingxing's thoughts were interrupted by the voice. He saw someone walking straight towards him with a hypocritical smile on his face and his arms open towards him as if he missed him very much.

Gu Mingxing remembered the faces in the photos. The one who called him "nephew" was one of them. This person was a foster brother adopted by his mother.

The so-called "godbrother" is someone who has no blood relationship but insists on having the name of "family member". In fact, it is a relationship of cooperation achieved by utilizing the space to create value between each other.

Gu Mingxing greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Qian, long time no see."

Mr. Qian was surprised: "I didn't expect my nephew would still remember me as his uncle." He naturally put his hand on Gu Mingxing's shoulder and asked with concern: "I heard from my sister that you are still in school. What school are you in?"

Gu Mingxing thought, I don’t even know what school he goes to, why am I pretending to care about him here? Aren’t you tired of pretending like this?

But Gu Mingxing still answered politely: "At No. 11 Middle School." There was no need for him to lie about this question. After all, he only needed to do a little research to find out.

Mr. Qian frowned, as if he were a family member who was really worried about him: "Oh, why are you at No. 11 Middle School? Why don't you go to Caiying High School? I'm a good friend of the principal of Caiying High School, it's only a matter of a word, and my daughter is also in Caiying, you can take care of her."

Mr. Qian’s only daughter is also in the photo, and there is relevant information about her in the document. In other words, his daughter is also one of his targets for communication.

Gu Mingxing politely declined: "No need, uncle, I'm doing fine in No. 11 Middle School, and Huo Ting and Xu Yan are here too."

"Those two guys are also in No. 11 Middle School?" Mr. Qian rolled his eyes and smiled at Gu Mingxing, "That's good. I was worried that no one would take care of you. At least those two guys have a playmate." He pointed to a place in the banquet hall and said, "My daughter is there. You are the same age, so you should be able to chat. I am old, and I don't know the topics you young people talk about."

Gu Mingxing knew that this old fox just wanted to have a deeper relationship with their family. The real intention might not be deeper, but on the surface, in everyone's eyes, the relationship between the Gu family and the Qian family was good, and this was enough for Mr. Qian to have a bargaining chip in other negotiations.

Gu Mingxing nodded. He didn't need to say anything. Mr. Qian's words had already created opportunities for him and his goal. He picked up two glasses of red wine and walked towards the girl.

Gu Mingxing's purpose this time was very simple. He wanted to create the illusion that he could get along well with this girl, so that the outside world would think that the Gu and Qian families, who had not been in contact for several years, still had a good relationship. At the same time, he also wanted to create some ambiguous scenes between him and this girl, and these scenes must be seen by other people.

Gu Mingxing didn't want to be ambiguous, but there was no way. People were only willing to believe what they saw, and everything they saw would affect a person's judgment. A person's judgment was enough to affect the occurrence and direction of an event and directly determine the outcome of an event.

During the conversation with Qian's daughter, Gu Mingxing discovered one thing: Mr. Qian protected his daughter very well. She had no idea of ​​his intentions and talked to him very innocently.

In this forest full of dangers, a rabbit who knows nothing will not survive long. Even if there is a fox to protect it, it is a good outcome for the rabbit not to be betrayed by the fox.

Gu Mingxing saw Mr. Qian's eyes on them, and he took the girl's hand as Mr. Qian wished. The girl seldom had contact with the opposite sex, so her face turned red instantly, and Mr. Qian's mouth corners slightly curled up.

Unfortunately, this is the food chain in the forest. The innocent rabbits will always be exploited and eventually eaten. And the ones who eat the rabbits are not other creatures that hunt rabbits, but this forest that seems to be all-inclusive.
