Become a one-time character in a comic

Mr. Shen, the head teacher of Class 11 of Grade 1, saw Gu Mingxing and Song Yue discussing something on the desk recently. It was called a discussion, but it seemed that Song Yue was doing most of the talking. Gu Mingxing looked at the exercise book spread out on the desk in distress.

Teacher Shen walked over quietly with his hands behind his back. He heard Song Yue pointing at the question and saying, "This question is similar to the one we just talked about, but it hides a known condition in the previous question. If you don't understand it, you can draw the image."

He looked at this scene, thoughtful. During the evening self-study, he stood on the podium and announced that he would form a study mutual aid group. The group could be students with better grades leading students with poorer grades, or they could complement each other in certain subjects, or they could be teamed up with both students having good grades, but they could not have two students with poor grades teamed up together.

His original words were: "Two people who are not good at all subjects are together. Are you trying to smooth things over? Those who can form a team will register with me. Those who cannot form a team will be assigned according to my transcripts."

Two days later, Mr. Shen held the list and said, "The whole class has completed the team formation. I didn't expect you to be so active. Next, we will change seats according to the team formation." He posted the new seating chart on the blackboard, pointed and said, "The new seating chart is here, come up and take a look."

So Song Yue and Gu Mingxing sat together.

Gu Mingxing smiled at her, waved his hand and said, "Hello, new deskmate."

Yu Xiaoan smiled and said, "You haven't finished correcting your wrong chemistry questions today, and you haven't memorized all the formulas yet."

"Why are you so cruel?"

"Just kidding." Yu Xiaoan propped up her head and looked at him, her black hair draped over her shoulders, sliding on the table as she moved. "It's only the first year of high school, there's no need to be so anxious. When you are in the third year of high school, you will have plenty of time to review, but you have to start accumulating English now."

Gu Mingxing's smile froze on his face, and he opened the vocabulary list on the back of the English book like a machine.

Yu Xiaoan beside him laughed and took out a candy from his pocket and put it on his desk: "You have corrected enough wrong questions today, take a break."

After school, Yu Xiaoan sat on the bed, and her roommate asked her: "Song Yue, what's going on between you and Gu Mingxing recently?"

"What's going on?"

My roommate said, "I see you two have been getting pretty close lately, and you haven't spoken to each other before."

Yu Xiaoan replied: "He and I are friends."

"When did you become friends?"

Yu Xiaoan couldn't tell the truth, so he gave an ambiguous answer: "Naturally."

As for Gu Mingxing, his roommate asked him, "Are you pursuing Song Yue?"

"No."

"It seems like you have a very good relationship with her recently."

Gu Mingxing asked indifferently: "Do you want to like her?"

"I have a girl I like."

"Then why do you ask so many questions?"

Another roommate asked Gu Mingxing: "Are you friends with her?"

Gu Mingxing thought about what would happen to Yu Xiaoan, thought for a moment and said, "Is that right?"

"When did you become friends? Because you helped her at the classroom door last time?"

Gu Mingxing gave an ambiguous answer: "Naturally."

Gu Mingxing would check every day to see if his deskmate was Yu Xiaoan. Yu Xiaoan also discovered that Gu Mingxing would observe her every morning and then feel relieved.

Yu Xiaoan asked him: "Why don't you talk to me every morning?"

"Thinking about you still being you?"

Yu Xiaoan suddenly realized and said, "You are afraid that I am not Yu Xiaoan but Song Yue."

"Ah."

She didn't expect Gu Mingxing to express his concerns so directly. Yu Xiaoan calmly took out the book she needed to recite for morning self-study and said, "I won't change recently."

"Really?"

"real."

Gu Mingxing turned to the vocabulary list on the back of his English book, then took out a piece of draft paper and said, "Help me with dictation."

Later, Gu Mingxing’s roommates saw that he bought two boxes of orange juice and placed them in the dormitory, but they couldn’t get a box when they wanted to drink it.

Therefore, Yu Xiaoan could always expect a box of orange juice on the table every day.

Yu Xiaoan once asked him why he brought me orange juice every day. Gu Mingxing smiled and said, "You teach me every day, so I have to thank Teacher Yu."

She felt a little happy when she heard him call her "Teacher Yu".

Gu Mingxing noticed her happiness and called out again, "Teacher Yu."

Yu Xiaoan coughed twice, a little embarrassed, and then said in a teacher-like manner: "Gu Mingxing, today is the morning self-study of politics. Can you recite the second unit of the compulsory course one?"

"Teacher Yu, I will try my best to recite it this morning."

"Then classmate Gu should work harder, there are still many."

Gu Mingxing took out the compulsory political science course 1 and asked her, "Teacher Yu, do you still remember the knowledge points of the compulsory political science course 1?"

Yu Xiaoan also took out the compulsory political course 1, opened the book and said, "Teacher Yu doesn't remember it, so I will recite it with you."

Gu Mingxing discovered that Yu Xiaoan was always not active during lunch time. He would walk slowly at the back by himself. Even if he got his meal, he would eat alone with his tray at an empty table, regardless of who sat around the table in the end.

Yu Xiaoan found an empty table with her tray and just sat down when Gu Mingxing sat opposite her with a half-finished meal. Yu Xiaoan asked in confusion, "You're almost done eating, what are you doing here?"

"I'm having dinner with my friend," Gu Mingxing put a piece of meat in his mouth and muttered, "Aren't you my friend anymore?"

"I'm your female friend."

"Aren't we friends too?"

Seeing Yu Xiaoan looking at him in confusion, he put down his chopsticks and said, "It's so lonely to eat alone. I'll eat with you in the future, or you can come to the table where I sit and eat. I'll save a seat for you in the future."

In Yu Xiaoan's eyes, Gu Mingxing is still a freshman in high school. Children of this age will not actively feel lonely. They can feel loneliness only after slowly accepting it. However, Gu Mingxing has her own friends, not just the one.

She said while eating, "No, I'm used to it."

"Start with me, then don't get used to it."

Yu Xiaoan looked up at him. She saw a smiling face full of sunshine. She seemed to see the light of the protagonist. Gu Mingxing smiled and said, "Teacher Yu doesn't seem to be good at interpersonal communication. As a student, I think it is necessary to help the teacher."

Yu Xiaoan covered her mouth and laughed out loud. She found that Gu Mingxing was always very humorous at times. She asked, "How can you help me?"

Gu Mingxing glanced at her plate and said, "First, eat with me."

"But I'm slower than you."

"Then starting tomorrow, I will drag you along and make sure you don't have to queue in the cafeteria anymore."

Yu Xiaoan looked at him in disbelief: "Can you lead me?"

"You can teach me how to study, but why can't I run when I take you for a run? Just wait and see."

Yu Xiaoan smiled happily. This was the first time she smiled like this since she came here.

In Gu Mingxing's eyes, Yu Xiaoan looked like a student only when she was smiling happily. When he looked at her normally, he always felt that she was worried and did not look like a classmate who took classes with him.

The next day, Yu Xiaoan regretted what she had said the day before. Gu Mingxing really pulled her to run as soon as the get out of class was over. Her chair even fell over, and he ran very fast. If he hadn't pulled her, it would have been difficult for her to keep up.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, there were only a few people queuing in the hall who ran faster than them. Gu Mingxing asked Yu Xiaoan to stand in front of him.

Yu Xiaoan was panting so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. He waved his hands and said, "Next time...next time, I can't run like this...it's too...too tiring."

Gu Mingxing handed the plate to her and said, "It's your turn now."

Yu Xiaoan held the dinner plate tiredly, looking at the dining area where there were few people. How many years had it been since she saw such an empty dining area?

I haven’t seen him since high school, and suddenly, a feeling of nostalgia came over me.

Gu Mingxing came over and saw that she was in a daze and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

“I haven’t seen so many empty tables in a long time.”

Gu Mingxing found a seat near the window and sat down. While eating, he asked, "Did you also run to the cafeteria when you were in high school?"

"Yeah, otherwise there will be a very long line," Yu Xiaoan pointed at the already long line and said, "When I was in high school, I didn't like to spend too much time eating."

"No wonder you have good grades," Gu Mingxing said jokingly, "Good students are good students for a reason. I eat here purely to avoid waiting in line."

Yu Xiaoan smiled and said, "That's good."

Gu Mingxing became curious: "Teacher Yu, tell your students what's good about it?"

"Pure, free, simple," Yu Xiaoan looked at him and said with a smile, "This is good."

Gu Mingxing continued eating: "I don't know whether this is a compliment or an insult to me."

"I'm praising you."

"Mingxing, we won't disturb you if we sit here," Gu Mingxing's two friends, who were holding plates, stood beside the table and looked at him in a mean way. Gu Mingxing said in annoyance, "Sit down and eat your meal."

Gu Mingxing said to Yu Xiaoan: "Just ignore these two, they are not important."

Yu Xiaoan was socially phobic and didn't know what to say, so he felt awkward.

One of them was dissatisfied: "Gu Mingxing, you are really not a good friend, forget it," the one who spoke introduced himself: "My name is Huo Ting, from Class 7," Huo Ting pointed at Gu Mingxing and said: "I watched this kid grow up."

"Ah, um... hello."

Another one introduced himself in a friendly manner: "I'm Xu Yan, also from Class 7."

Gu Mingxing noticed Yu Xiaoan's awkwardness and helped her socialize: "This is my new teacher Yu..."

He didn't finish his words because he didn't know whether he should introduce her or not. Because Yu Xiaoan was special in this world, he looked at Yu Xiaoan, who pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.

Gu Mingxing said again: "My study partner and my deskmate."

Xu Yan said, "I heard your class has set up a study group recently, and this person is one of them."

Gu Mingxing asked in confusion: "How do you know about our class setting up a study group?"

Huo Ting picked up a piece of vegetable leaf and said, "because the old man in our class also wanted to learn from your class to form a study group, but no one signed up to form a team. The old man also taught us that we are not active in learning and have problems with our thinking." He imitated the way his head teacher spoke, in a very realistic way.

Xu Yan said: "I don't think we can do study groups in our class. The study atmosphere in our class is not very good, but the atmosphere for playing is very good."

They were talking, but Yu Xiaoan didn't say anything. A fake smile remained on his face as he ate in silence.

Gu Mingxing could tell at a glance that her smile was fake, because he had seen it a lot. There were many people like this who fake smiled around his parents before, but the reasons for their fake smiles were different from Yu Xiaoan's reasons for fake smiles.

Gu Mingxing was about to say to the two people who were still talking beside him with disdain: "Why didn't I know you were so noisy before?"

When Xu Yan heard what he said, he immediately understood and smiled and shut up. But Huo Ting, who had no sense of propriety, was still saying, "Old Ban just likes to use his strength in useless places. The style of each class is different. How can copy and paste work?"

Seeing that they were all eating and only he was talking, Huo Ting asked puzzledly, "why don't you talk?"

This tactless guy even blinked his eyes, and from his sincere eyes it could be seen that he really didn't know why they suddenly stopped talking.

Gu Mingxing glared at him and said, "Eat your meal."

Huo Ting glanced at his watch and said, "there's still an hour before class, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Yan said: "Did you forget to go to class early?"

"I almost forgot about Old Man Ban's disgusting rule," Huo Ting suddenly remembered and hurried to eat.

This dining table is finally quiet.

Xu Yan and Huo Ting left after finishing their meal. Yu Xiaoan ate slowly. Gu Mingxing sat opposite her waiting for her. Yu Xiaoan felt a little embarrassed and quickened her eating pace.

Gu Mingxing cleared his plate once again, showing that he still had time to wait for her. He said, "You don't have to eat so fast. There's no rush."

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Yu Xiaoan said, "It's not good to keep you waiting. I'll finish eating right away."

He pulled a small box of yogurt out of his pocket and placed it in front of her, saying, "This will help with digestion."

Yu Xiaoan stopped chewing and stared at the yogurt in front of him, then looked at Gu Mingxing, then looked at the yogurt again, and then looked at Gu Mingxing curiously.

Gu Mingxing looked at her cute expression and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yu Xiaoan asked: "Is there any dimension in your pocket?"

"Why do you ask?"

She pointed at the yogurt and said, "It feels like your pocket can produce a lot of things I need."

Gu Mingxing looked at her with a smile and said, "Because I am a close student of Teacher Yu."

"There will definitely be a lot of girls who like you."

When he heard her say this, Gu Mingxing thought of a sentence in his mind - There are three thousand rivers, but I only take a sip.

Yu Xiaoan has been Gu Mingxing's desk mate throughout the semester.

Until the day of the final exam, Yu Xiaoan said to him: "I seem to be changing again."

? !

Gu Mingxing was stunned for a moment. She had always been by his side, studying and eating with him. There was even a box of unopened orange juice under his bed in the dormitory.

After a long while, his eyes were a little dull: "Is that so, then..."

He felt around on his desk and found his sticky note. He wrote down his contact information on the note, tore it off and stuck it on her desk, saying, "This is my phone number. If you change, you... must call me. I will be there right away if I can help you, and then I can... you won't be so tired, that is..."

Yu Xiaoan smiled and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

He took a deep breath and said, "You are the only one who knows your current situation. I am your accomplice in doing all this in this world. So, as an accomplice, please be sure to contact me."

Yu Xiaoan tore off the sticky note on the table, silently repeated the phone number on it, nodded and said, "Okay."

Summer vacation is coming soon. The trees outside the window can't block the hot sunshine. The intertwined leaves make the falling sunlight mottled, and the mottled sunlight falls on the ground, making the dark shade of the trees exceptionally bright but not so hot.
