Become a one-time character in a comic

Yu Xiaoan sat next to Bai Ruan. This time she was the heroine's deskmate. Yu Xiaoan glanced at the name on the homework book - Qian Miao. Except for the female classmate on the first day whose name was exactly the same as hers, the names of the possessed characters were all different.

Bai Ruan came back from the office, put the leave application in his hand on the table, and said to her with a smile: "I've also asked for leave, we can go together."

After the last class in the afternoon, the two packed up and left together.

The two passed by an alley and a group of thugs walked out of the alley. Their costumes were very distinctive, with baseball bats and an expression of "I'm the most domineering", plus the walking posture of second-rate people. Yu Xiaoan could imagine the next plot.

As expected, this group of thugs want money. Also, this is a campus youth comic, rape is impossible, and it is not some painful youth literature.

Bai Ruan's small body stood in front of Qian Miao and threatened the gangsters with a trembling voice: "If you don't leave, I will call the police."

Yu Xiaoan knew that this was a comic book world and the male protagonist would definitely appear, so she was not worried at all. However, looking at Bai Ruan, who was shorter and more fragile than her, she pulled him behind her, and at the same time she remembered a little bit of the plot.

Qian Miao in the comics would indeed protect Bai Ruan. At this moment, a figure with the light behind him appeared at the entrance of the alley.

"What are you doing?"

The gangsters all turned around, and Bai Ruan's voice was filled with reassurance despite her disbelief: "Gu Sheng?"

Gu Sheng smiled unruly, as if he was in the same group as this group of hooligans. He passed by Qian Miao and saw Bai Ruan behind her. He smiled and waved his hand as if to say hello: "Isn't this the squad leader? Why are you here?"

The leader of the gang shouted, "Where the hell did you come from? If you know what's good for you, just pretend you didn't see it."

Gu Sheng found it funny: "It's a pity that I have eyes and saw you threatening my class monitor. As the class monitor's classmate, how can I not help the class monitor when he is being bullied?"

"Damn it, he refused to accept my toast, beat him to death."

The thugs rushed towards Gu Sheng. Bai Ruan shouted worriedly behind Qian Miao: "Gu Sheng, be careful!"

The result was obvious. Gu Sheng displayed a fighting power that he had never shown before and knocked the thugs to the ground one by one. Although he was slightly injured, he was glowing again.

Yu Xiaoan really wants to complain. The comic's expression method is really bad, with too much light. I suggest passers-by wear sunglasses. Also, nothing good will happen if you are with the protagonist. You will really get hurt, so you should prepare more Band-Aids.

Afterwards, Bairuan was concerned about Gu Sheng's hand. His hand was injured when he hit a hard ornament on one of them during the fight. Gu Sheng smiled and asked Bairuan why he was here. Bairuan said, "I asked for leave, but I remember you didn't ask for leave. Why are you outside the school?"

Gu Sheng smiled and asked, "Will the monitor report the teacher when he returns to school?" He touched his arm and pretended to be pitiful: "It still hurts from the beating they gave me just now."

Yu Xiaoan took out a Band-Aid and handed it to Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng did not take it, but Bai Ruan took it. Only then did Gu Sheng move to reach out his hand.

Yu Xiaoan was ignored again, so he just stood there and watched them act out the plot.

After the plot was over, Gu Sheng rode a motorcycle with enough room for one person on the back seat. Qian Miao was almost home, so the male and female protagonists just went along on a motorcycle.

Yu Xiaoan smiled and waved at them at the entrance of the alley. She wanted to find a store selling sunglasses nearby because she needed to get a pair of sunglasses.

"Who are you now?"

Yu Xiaoan heard the voice behind her and turned around to see Gu Mingxing looking straight at her and asked her again: "What's your name?"

"Yu Xiao..." After she finished speaking, she immediately realized that something was wrong. This was not her current name. She immediately changed her words and said, "No, my name is Qian Miao. What do you want from me?"

Although she had just changed her words, Gu Mingxing had already gotten the answer. Seeing her expression that she didn't want to be recognized, Gu Mingxing didn't want to expose her directly.

He stretched out his hand, and Yu Xiaoan didn't understand why he stretched out his palm in front of her.

Gu Mingxing looked at her and said, "Band-Aid, come back another day, you said it will breed bacteria and it's not good for the injury."

Yu Xiaoan knew very well that she had been recognized, but she didn't know what impact being recognized would have on her. Now she had only one thought in her mind, which was to leave.

"It's all right now," she said before she hurried away.

Looking at her leaving back, Gu Mingxing touched his scabby chin and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The next day at noon in the school cafeteria, Yu Xiaoan was eating with Bai Ruan. Because no plot happened, Yu Xiaoan was still with Qian Miao.

Bai Ruan was chatting with her while eating. Gu Mingxing came over and sat next to Yu Xiaoan. When Yu Xiaoan saw him, there was only one question in her mind - how did he recognize her?

Yu Xiaoan ignored him, treating him as a strange classmate who wanted to sit here.

Bai Ruan noticed that there was no strange atmosphere between the two of them, and asked, "Miao Miao, do you know him?"

Yu Xiaoan didn't look at him: "I don't know him."

"Why don't you recognize me?" Gu Mingxing pointed at his chin and said, "I fell and got hurt before, and you helped me."

Bai Ruan asked in confusion: "Classmate, Miaomiao has always been with me. When has she ever helped you?"

Yu Xiaoan smiled and looked at Gu Mingxing: "I haven't helped you before."

Gu Mingxing saw that her eyes were not smiling at all, but rather glaring at him. He immediately understood, waved his hand and said, "Then I remembered it wrong, but I really know her."

"I don't know you," Yu Xiaoan continued to eat, "You must have recognized the wrong person. The person you are looking for may just look like me. Everyone is here now. Why don't you look for him at another table?"

This was asking him to leave. Gu Mingxing knew that she must know that he recognized him, so he also tactfully took the plate and left: "I think I recognized the wrong person, sorry to bother you."

"Who was that person just now?" Gu Sheng sat next to Bai Ruan with empty hands. He supported his head with one hand and looked at Bai Ruan: "Squad leader's boyfriend?"

Bairuan's face turned red visibly: "Who... I, I don't have a boyfriend."

Gu Sheng looked at her as if he had seen an interesting toy: "Then why are you blushing?"

"I'm not blushing, you're the one talking nonsense."

"I'm just kidding."

Bai Ruan pouted angrily, and her cute face became even more adorable and interesting with her pouting lips. The tenderness and teasing in Gu Sheng's eyes could not be hidden at all.

Bai Ruan said seriously: "Don't make this joke casually."

In Gu Sheng's eyes, the angry and serious Bai Ruan was like a soft kitten staring at him angrily, and then scolded him in a childish voice. He smiled and said, "Then am I the class monitor's boyfriend?"

"Gu Sheng, you are making fun of me again!"

Watching them "flirting" like this, Yu Xiaoan ate calmly. Since Bairuan and Gu Sheng were talking all the time, she finished eating quickly: "I'm done, I'm going to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water, Bairuan, do you want anything?"

"I want a carton of milk."

Gu Sheng immediately teased again: "Hey, the squad leader still drinks milk, will he still grow taller?"

Yu Xiaoan walked towards the recycling area, and Bai Ruan's angry voice came from behind him: "Gu Sheng!"

As soon as Yu Xiaoan entered the supermarket, she went to the beverage section to choose a drink. Gu Mingxing appeared next to her: "Classmate, can we chat?"

"I don't think we have anything to talk about, and I don't know you."

"Yu Xiaoan."

Hearing him calling her name, Yu Xiaoan looked at him. Gu Mingxing smiled and said, "Finally you looked at me."

Yu Xiaoan asked: "How did you recognize me?"

Gu Mingxing took out the unused smile band-aid from his pocket and said, "Here, no one in school would prepare this, you seem to be the only one."

"Wouldn't that be strange to you?"

Gu Mingxing understood what she meant and replied, "I felt strange at first, as if you were a ghost, but this is very interesting, as if you have a special identity and are on a special mission. But I'm curious, why don't those 'you' recognize me anymore?"

Yu Xiaoan continued to choose drinks: "I said I don't know either, do you believe me?"

"Believe it."

Yu Xiaoan looked at him again: "Why do you believe it? Don't you think it's outrageous?"

"I don't know, I just feel like I should believe it."

Yu Xiaoan sighed. This is the world of comics. It seems that any bizarre things that happen are acceptable. The world of comics is quite crazy.

Seeing her take a box of orange juice and a box of milk, Gu Mingxing asked, "Do you like orange juice or milk?"

"Orange juice."

Gu Mingxing also took a box of orange juice and followed her to pay the bill, then followed her: "We will have a holiday after two classes tomorrow morning. Do you want to go out and play?"

Yu Xiaoan put in a straw and took a sip before saying, "Maybe I will be a different person tomorrow. Will you still recognize me?"

"You didn't reject me."

"Someone asked me out, why would I refuse? And you're the first person who knows what I'm like now."

The first one? Gu Mingxing didn't know what to feel, a little strange, and a little excited.

He now had an urge to run on the playground. He ran and waved to her: "It's settled then! I'll wait for you at the school gate tomorrow!"

Yu Xiaoan was a little confused: "Are you so happy?"

On the morning of the holiday, when Yu Xiaoan saw that she was not replaced by another person, she felt a little relieved. She didn't know where this feeling of relief came from.

After the last class, Bai Ruan wanted to leave with Qian Miao, but Yu Xiaoan didn't want to because they had an appointment, so he found a reason to let Bai Ruan leave alone.

At other times when there is no plot, she can take active control of it.

After all the classmates had left, Yu Xiaoan carried his schoolbag and left. At this time, most people in the school had left, but a familiar person was waiting at the school gate.

The man was carrying a heavy, bulging transparent plastic bag, through which one could vaguely see a lot of snacks and orange juice.

He stood there with his head bowed.

"Gu Mingxing."

Hearing someone calling his name, he knew who it was and was very surprised. He looked up and said with a smile, "You're here." He handed her the bag in his hand and said, "I haven't thanked you properly for helping me before. These are for you."

"It's just a small favor to help you. You don't need to thank me. Just keep these for yourself."

Gu Mingxing said seriously: "That won't work. Knowing to repay kindness is an excellent virtue. You won't give me a chance to show my virtue, right?"

After hearing what he said, Yu Xiaoan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay, give it to me."

Gu Mingxing didn't give her the bag, but continued to carry it himself: "You have a lot of things, I'll help you carry it. Helping a girl is what a gentleman should do."

Yu Xiaoan didn't force himself to carry it, so he let him carry it.

The two walked side by side, and Yu Xiaoan asked with a smile: "You should be quite popular among the girls in the class, right?"

Gu Mingxing shook his head: "On the contrary, I have rarely talked to the opposite sex."

Yu Xiaoan covered her mouth in disbelief: "That's impossible. You just said something so complicated. Could it be that you don't like interacting with girls?"

"I tend to talk about topics that die easily, maybe that's why."

Yu Xiaoan nodded. It is true that many girls are unwilling to communicate with people who easily end the conversation, because the conversation ends quickly and is boring.

Just now, Gu Mingxing had brought the topic to a halt. Yu Xiaoan didn't know what to say, and it was a bit awkward to walk side by side, so she asked him, "Is there anything fun nearby?"

Gu Mingxing thought about it seriously and said, "There is nothing fun near the school except for the roadside stalls, but there is a park."

"Can you take me to the park?"

"Of course," Gu Mingxing looked at her and said, "You don't have to be so polite when talking to me. Aren't we friends?"

"Friend?" Yu Xiaoan thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Yes, a friend."

There were not many people in the park. Yu Xiaoan sat on the swing and swung back with a little effort. Gu Mingxing put the bag aside and sat on the swing next to her.

Yu Xiaoan felt the breeze and said calmly: "I just thought about it. I may not be able to eat anything of yours, but I turned into another one. Don't you think it's a pity?"

Gu Mingxing looked at her swaying in front of him and asked, "Do you think it's a pity?"

"A little bit. After all, it's something my first friend here gave me."

Gu Mingxing bent down and found a packet in the bag, tore open the package, poured the small packages inside into his hand, then took a packet and gave it to her and said, "Since it's a pity, eat some now."

Yu Xiaoan laughed again, stopped the swing with her feet, took the swing from his hand, and said "thank you".

Very soft, sticky and a little sweet.

"I used to be an office worker, but suddenly it became like this. I don't know how to deal with it. It's not right to panic, but it's not right to accept it too much either."

Yu Xiaoan suddenly spoke out her true feelings. Gu Mingxing looked at her and said, "But you look very calm."

"Heh, if you don't calm down, you won't be able to accomplish anything."

"Do you want to go back to your old self?"

Yu Xiaoan looked at the sky and said, "Of course I want to, but no one told me how to change back."

"What was your life like before?"

"There are many frustrations, many unnecessary contacts in the workplace, and many disappointments in life..."

"You want to change back even so?"

Yu Xiaoan smiled and said, "Although it's a life like this, it's my life. I'm a little overwhelmed by the uncertainty and lack of control over my life now."

Gu Mingxing looked at her calm and composed. She said she was at a loss, but he could not see her confusion at all. Instead, he could see her calmness and composure. He admired her a little. If he encountered such a thing, he would probably panic and not know what to do.

Or they might do something unimaginable and not think about whether to go back.

Gu Mingxing asked: "I feel like you don't want to go back now."

"I think so."

"No, what I mean is that you, as Qian Miao, don't seem to want to go back now."

Yu Xiaoan nodded, looking helpless and sad. She pointed at her face and said, "Because I don't know how to face this child's parents. It feels very awkward."

Gu Mingxing understood. The reason she didn't want to go back was because she was unfamiliar with everything here and didn't know anything. Coupled with the uncertainty, she was actually at a loss, but she would not show it through her body language or facial expressions.

And I was her first friend in this environment, the first person she told about her experience.

"If you want to talk to someone, you can always come to me."

When Yu Xiaoan heard what he said, she smiled happily and started swinging on the swing again. There was no wind today, but the gently swinging swing made her feel the comfort of the breeze.
