hey, old classmate

We happen to be in the same school, in the same class, and in the same dormitory. I sleep on the bottom and he sleeps on the top.

We became friends, then buddies, and finally lovers, what are we at the end?I have no idea

Summer of 2003

I carried a quilt in a snakeskin bag on my back, and carried toiletries in my left hand and books in my right hand, and embarked on the road of studying alone.

When I was new to school I looked like an unsophisticated redneck, which I was.

Automatic retractable folding gate, fence like the villa in TV.Facing the gate is a big playground, which is probably as big as the entire school in our village.

Across the playground is a pool full of lotus-like things.It was only later that I realized that it was a water lily.

The name of the pool is Wuxin Pool, and there is a statue of Confucius on it, engraved with "filial piety, kindness, learning, responsibility, and morality".

Walk through Wuxin Pool and follow the admission sign to pass through a willow green area.I saw a lot of people around the bulletin board, which showed the classes for admission.

After tossing and turning to find my own class, I sweated profusely and carried my things to report to the office.

The teacher looked at me with a face wrinkled by the years, "what's your name?"

"Goudaner, oh no, look left."

"Puff!" The students in the back row couldn't help laughing.

I was extremely embarrassed, and at this moment a heavenly voice sounded from behind, "Hey, why don't you put the things down first, you are tired from carrying it"?

I turned around - "I'll go" ------- Ugly, so ugly, so fucking ugly.The face is full of acne and there are big black-rimmed glasses. Is the hair freshly washed and not dry, or is it sweaty and oily and won't dry at all?One strand at a time lay on the face.I was so scared that I almost sat on the ground.

"What's wrong"?he asks

"No—nothing"

I tried my best to answer as normal.

"Do you want to put down your things?"He pointed to the snakeskin bag on my back and asked.

I really sighed to myself, what a stupid B?After memorizing it for so long, I don’t know how to put it down.I smiled awkwardly, "Thank you, classmate"

The head teacher pushed his reading glasses, "Why are you so frizzy?"

"What is your name"?The head teacher asked again.

"Zuo Gu, the left of the left, the care of Gu".

"Zuo~Gu, Zuo~Gu" the head teacher flipped through the list.

"Look left, right? Your dormitory is in apartment 4, No. 308."

"Thank you teacher" I bow

"Come on, this is the relevant regulation of the dormitory, points will be deducted for violation"

I took the nine dormitory rules and withdrew.

Then when I was about to go to the dormitory with my snakeskin bag on my back, I heard the head teacher ask the classmate behind me "what's your name".

The boy behind me said cheerfully, "Gu Zuo, the one who takes care of Gu, the one on the left".

I looked at him in surprise, and he happened to look back at me with a smile.

His greasy hair and acne-prone face made that smile look so wretched.Um, like, like human traffickers.

Soon he came over with the dormitory rules.Still smiling, "Let me help you".

He was very kind and came over to help me carry things.Originally, I wanted to refuse, but after weighing the fact that a man should be independent and being independent does not mean that he does not need help.I decidedly chose the latter. "Thank you then"

He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, we will be friends in the future."
