growing up

Between the two was Gu Yuan's bag on his chest blocking him, Ling Chao's chin was about to touch the bridge of Gu Yuan's nose, and he could feel the hot air from Gu Yuan's exhalation just below his Adam's apple.

itchy, numb...

And refreshing...

Ling Chao steadied his footsteps, coughed lightly, and let go of the hand on Gu Yuan's back.

"Hold your bag for me." Gu Yuan looked normal, and only let go of him when Ling Chao regained his footing.

"No need." Ling Chao's voice was still a little hoarse, and he couldn't help coughing twice.

"I'm hooking the pillar with my foot, and the ring with your one hand is not very stable. If I carry the bag, you hang it with your left hand and hold my arm with your right hand." Gu Yuan said while hooking his foot under the pillar.

The bus ring is swinging, and it is indeed not stable.Coupled with the fact that there are so many people, whether it is turning or braking suddenly, it will swing with inertia.But now that Gu Yuan is hooking the pillar like this, it will be more stable if he holds his hand on the pillar.

Ling Chao's side was too crowded. They stood by the window. There was a single row of seats for the elderly, weak and pregnant. There was already a row of people leaning on the back of the chair. They were the second. layer.There are several more layers of people behind.

Ling Chao finally gave the bag to Gu Yuan, and stood with his left hand holding the ring and his right hand supporting him as he said.

Fortunately, the distance is not too far. After two big bends just now, there are only a few small bends and the brakes to be stepped on every time we arrive at the station.

When he arrived at the station, Ling Chao was dragged out of the car by Gu Yuan again.The platform here is the one that Gu Yuan told him last time, where he doesn't have to walk far from the alley to go home.

Ling Chao put his bag on his back first. After the crowded bus trip just now, Ling Chao felt a little sore in his right ribs.

It actually hurt when I was hit during the race, but I could bear it. After a short rest, I felt fine. Now I felt a little uncomfortable after being squeezed in the car.

Ling Chao tried his best not to let Gu Yuan see it, except for the frown when he got out of the car, he never showed any discomfort.

Gu Yuan's house hasn't changed much, it's still clean and simple.

Gu Yuan, who wanted to go to work in the kitchen as soon as he got home, was stopped by Ling Chao: "Go take a shower and rest first. You are not very hungry, so don't worry."

"Oh." At this moment, Gu Yuan remembered that Ling Chao came with him after school, without taking a shower.Although it is not smelly, the sweat after a long-distance run should not be uncomfortable: "Why don't you wash it first? I'll look for you to see if there are any clothes you can wear."

Today, for the afternoon run, both of them brought a short tracksuit.After the game, I just put on my jacket and didn't change my pants.

"Let's talk after you wash it." Ling Chao waved his hand, signaling Gu Yuan to leave him alone.

Now the pain in his waist became more and more clear, and it exploded.He wanted to wait until Gu Yuan left to see how the injury was doing.In fact, he was often injured when he was practicing Sanda before. Those injuries must be more serious than this time, and he didn't feel too uncomfortable before. Maybe it's because he hasn't been injured for a long time, so he is more delicate.

Gu Yuan went to the bedroom and searched for a long time, and finally found a loose sweater that he was wearing.

"This...you should be able to wear it, but it might be a little tight, so let's make do with it." Gu Yuan handed the clothes in his hand to Ling Chao: "I don't have new underwear, maybe you can only wear the ones on your body."

It's a bit cold today, to be honest, it's even colder when the wind blows after sweating.In the morning, Ling Chao wears a school uniform jacket with short sleeves, and puts his trousers in his bag.He took the clothes that Gu Yuan handed to him and looked at them, and he should be able to wear them.

"Go and wash quickly. I am in better health than you, so don't catch a cold anymore." Ling Chao asked Gu Yuan to wash first.

Gu Yuan didn't evade any further, and went to the bathroom with his clothes.

Ling Chao sat on the cool chair that had already been supplemented with cotton cushions, listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, he recalled what happened today.

He didn't have any interest in Luo Tianxiang, whether it was his provocation or the little tricks he used, he didn't pay attention to him.He doesn't like to make troubles, usually when someone provokes him, he will try his best to calm things down.What's more, he is here alone now, in order not to worry his parents, he doesn't care about Luo Tianxiang's actions today.

Fortunately, the person he chose to hurt was himself and not Gu Yuan. If it was Gu Yuan, he didn't know if he could handle it calmly today.

Ugh!

Ling Chao rolled up his clothes and looked at his side waist, there was a bruise.In fact, it's not that serious, and it's pretty light compared to the injuries he suffered in previous training.

However, Luo Tianxiang's strength is really quite strong, such a big injury can be caused by just such a bump, if he hadn't reacted quickly and someone was blocking him, he would definitely be knocked to the ground today, that kind of It is not so easy to fall on the runway with fine gravel.

Ling Chao gently pressed the injured area, the pain made him frown slightly, and he will deal with it when he goes back later.

Ling Chao put down his clothes and leaned on the sofa, with a lot of messy thoughts in his head.

He cared a lot about Gu Yuan's attitude.Going home with him today, I didn't hear Gu Yuan mention this on the way, but on the playground in the afternoon, Gu Yuan's gloomy look was real.

He didn't know what Gu Yuan meant when he said that he wouldn't let it go lightly.

and also…

The sound of water in the bathroom, which had just stopped for a while, sounded again, and Ling Chao's thoughts also flew away.He began to think of the feeling when he held Gu Yuan's hand and ran to the finish line in the afternoon, and the hug they had on the bus was not a hug...

Fortunately, Gu Yuan took a shower very quickly, and before Ling Chao could even react in a hurry with his blushing and heartbeat, the bathroom door was already opened.

Gu Yuan came out holding a dry towel and wiping his head.

"You go wash it. I put a new towel on the shelf, the white one." Gu Yuan said after wiping his hair casually.

"Okay." Ling Chao withdrew his thoughts, a little embarrassed to go to see Gu Yuan, took the sweater and trousers and went to the bathroom.

The bathroom in Gu Yuan's house is not big, and the room that has not dissipated the heat is full of orange fragrance.Ling Chao liked the smell very much. He took a deep breath and let out a long and heavy sigh.

He propped himself on the sink, and the mirror in front of him was covered with a layer of water mist due to the heat. Ling Chao touched it twice with his hands, and a clean mirror surface appeared. The self in the mirror and the self outside were looking at each other. It took several minutes for Ling Chao to take off his clothes and go to take a shower.

When he came out, there was the smell of food from the kitchen, maybe he was relaxed after taking a shower, Ling Chao felt that he was really hungry.

"It smells so good, what delicious food did you cook?" Ling Chao walked over and saw the aroma coming from the pot on the induction cooker.At this time, the pot was already boiling, and although it was invisible, it was making a sound of gurgling.

"Cured duck soup." Gu Yuan was pouring the pre-arranged vegetables into the hot pot and stir frying: "My grandma made it from the duck she raised herself."

Ling Chao looked at the two dishes prepared by the side that were not fried: "You should cook less, there are too many to finish."

"I didn't do anything. This is a dish that was prepared but not fried yesterday, and the soup was also stewed yesterday. I just made a green vegetable." Gu Yuan's stir-frying movements are very smooth, and he can stir the pan and stir-fry smoothly.Greens only need a few casual strokes.He took a plate and put out the fried vegetables, washed the pot and put it on the fire.

It was not the first time for Ling Chao to watch Gu Yuan do these things in the kitchen, but it was the first time for him to cook.It can also be seen from the breakfast he brought for himself that he must cook delicious food.

Watch him heat up the pan, pour the oil, put in the shredded ginger and garlic, stir fry a few times, then pour the shredded pork in, stir the pan quickly, then pour the shredded pork into the chopped celery, and finally Pour the shredded pork into the pot, add some seasonings, and it's out of the pot.A plate of shredded celery with full color, fragrance and color is ready.

"Why do I think it's so easy to see you cooking? And I can't even cook noodles." Ling Chao said with a smile while leaning on the table next to him.

"I've been learning how to cook for many years, and the ones I cooked at the beginning were also unpalatable." Gu Yuan washed the pot and put it aside.

"Let's go, let's eat first, we have to wait for the meal." Gu Yuan pointed to the two dishes on the table and said, "You take the dishes out, I'll serve the soup."

This stew is very satisfying.The old duck soup is rich and salty, the shredded pork is very smooth and tender, and even the most common vegetables are crispy and sweet.

After the meal, Gu Yuan made Ling Chao a cup of tangerine peel water, and Ling Chao sat on the cool chair holding the cup.Such a quiet, comfortable and warm moment is really relaxing.

The two chatted for a while, and Ling Chao felt that he wanted to sleep a little bit.It's not sleepy, it's just too comfortable.

"Gu Yuan, can you tell me what you mean by what you said this afternoon?" Ling Chao finally asked directly.

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Gu Yuan looked at Ling Chao in a daze and asked.

"That's right..." Ling Chao put down the half-drinked water, turned to Gu Yuan and said, "After running, you said you wouldn't just let Luo Tianxiang go lightly."

Gu Yuan couldn't see a trace of anger from Ling Chao's expression, as if he wasn't the one who was hit and this matter had nothing to do with him, but he also looked worried.

What are you worried about?

"I don't fight." Gu Yuan pursed his lower lip and said, "Don't worry, I have other ways."

"Can't you tell me?" Ling Chao asked again.

"No..." Gu Yuan thought for a while but still didn't say: "I'll tell you when the time comes."

Seeing that Gu Yuan insisted not to speak, Ling Chao didn't ask any more questions. Since it wasn't a fight to solve the problem, he didn't worry anymore.As for other methods, according to Gu Yuan's temperament, he should be able to handle it properly.I won't let myself suffer.

"Okay." Ling Chao finally compromised: "But if you have anything, you must tell me."

"Okay." Gu Yuan agreed.

Ling Chao raised his hand to check the time. It was past seven o'clock, and Gu Yuan was quite tired today. He stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first. You should take a rest earlier."

"En." Gu Yuan also stood up.

Ling Chao took the bag, opened the door and went out.He went to the back street along the way he came, and there happened to be an empty taxi coming, which saved him from calling another taxi.
