Choose Wood and Live

"No, I think he's very funny." Shen Yize answered with a smile.

fun?Wang Zhuo raised his eyebrows. He was at the same table with that guy all morning, and he didn't even say ten words. The only time the other party took the initiative to communicate with him was to ask about the exercise book that his teacher asked him to buy.

Wang Zhuo struggled in his heart for a while, and when he got to the place to eat, he stopped thinking about it. Zhang Yihe didn't participate in the whole process, so he didn't have any doubts. They ordered the meal and started eating.

After leaving the school gate, Gu Qi dared to take out his mobile phone in his schoolbag, and opened it to read the messages from Chen Mengfang.The school does not allow mobile phones, but Chen Mengfang was worried about him, so she asked him to put the mobile phone in his schoolbag.

Gu Qi has strong self-control and will never play with his mobile phone during class. Chen Mengfang is very assured that her son will not delay his studies because of playing with his mobile phone.

Turning on the phone, seeing several text messages from Chen Mengfang, Gu Qi raised his hand to call Chen Mengfang back.

After about ten seconds, Chen Mengfang's tired voice sounded from the other end.

"Hey, Xiaoqi, is school over?"

"Well, school is over and I'm about to go to lunch. Has mom eaten?" Gu Qi knew that the other party was still in the office when he heard the noise from the other end.

Chen Mengfang in the office held the mobile phone in one hand and handed over the materials on the table to the person beside her, and replied, "Not yet, I'll eat later. Are you going to eat alone? Didn't you go with your classmates?"

Chen Mengfang knew her son's situation, and understood that it was impossible for Gu Qi to adapt to the new environment so quickly, but she still couldn't help asking hopefully.

I don't know if Gu Xi understood the meaning of Chen Mengfang's words, but he thought for three seconds and said, "Actually, a classmate said to go to dinner with me just now, but I have to go to the bookstore in advance, it will delay some time , and refused."

"Mom knows, you pay attention to safety, call me if you need anything."

"Okay, you have to eat on time, or you will have a stomachache." Gu Xi asked worriedly.

Chen Mengfang smiled and agreed, and then hung up the phone.

After putting away his mobile phone, Gu Xi walked along the road for several minutes, walked into a bookstore, bought an exercise book according to the list he wrote, and put all the books in his schoolbag after paying the bill.The store manager looked at Gu Xi's small body carrying so many books and couldn't help frowning. He wanted to say something but shut his mouth.

In fact, Gu Xi is not very short, his height of 1.7 meters [-] is considered average among the people around him, but he is thin, and he looks white and tender, making him easy to bully.Since the incident happened that year, his whole personality has become a lot more introverted, and many things have happened since then, which is why he is a little resistant to communicating with the outside world as he is now.

Before Chen Mengfang transferred him, the mother and son had a long talk all night. After Gu Qi agreed to transfer, he secretly made up his mind to change his state.

It's just that I still can't muster up the courage today...

but!Today, I took the initiative to ask my deskmate what exercise book to buy, which is also an improvement.Gu Qi silently comforted himself in his heart, and after the comfort, he was thinking about where to go for dinner.

When passing by a small restaurant, Gu Qi suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the glass, subconsciously looked aside, and saw Shen Yize lying on the window of the restaurant looking at himself.

Seeing Gu Xi looking over, Shen Yize smiled and waved at him to signal him to come in, but he didn't know that when Gu Xi saw him, his only thought was to run away.

Seeing him standing there still, Shen Yize couldn't help but frowned and smacked his tongue. He got up and walked towards the door. Wang Zhuo and Zhang Yihe, who were sitting across from him, watched him walk, stopped their movements, and watched him walk from the restaurant Going out, they turned their heads together to look at Gu Xi who was looking out the window.

"What are you doing here? Have you eaten yet?" Shen Yize stood in front of Gu Qi, lowered his head and asked kindly, looking at the boy who was a head shorter than Gu Qi, wondering if he had grown taller again. up.

"No, I didn't eat." The boy bit his lower lip, grabbed the sleeve of his school uniform tightly, trying to speak normally: "I'm going to find... find a place to eat..."

"That's good, eat with us, let's go." As he said, he took off Gu Qi's schoolbag, and it felt a little heavy in his hand. He got to look at him, why did he come out to eat and there were so many things in the schoolbag?

Feeling his gaze, Gu Xi stuttered and explained, "I, I went to the bookstore and bought a workbook."

"Oh, let's go, let's go eat." Shen Yize carried his schoolbag and took him by the arm to the restaurant.

Shen Yize pressed Gu Xi on the seat, took the menu and ordered two more dishes, and the four of them started eating again.

When paying the bill, Gu Xi took out his wallet, but Shen Yize held down his hand, and the other party said proudly: "I'm treating you, it's fine."

The boy withdrew his hand embarrassingly, and his impression of Shen Yize seemed to have changed a lot.

But just after this kind of thinking lasted for a long time, Gu Xi realized that he was wrong. To recognize a person clearly, he had to look at his long-term performance.

Gu Xi studied theory, physics and chemistry in the afternoon, and the school did not force the sophomores to study by themselves in the evening, so Gu Xi started to pack his schoolbag as soon as school was over, planning to go to the school gate and wait for Chen Mengfang to pick him up.

"Wang Zhuo, Fatty, let's go!" Shen Yize from behind suddenly said coldly, causing Gu Qi to tremble in fright, and then saw his deskmate grabbing his schoolbag and the two sitting behind him leaving aggressively out of the classroom.

Thirty seconds later, Gu Qi heard the screams of girls outside, and hurried out of the classroom through the back door. At a glance, he saw Shen Yize, the tallest in the crowd, carrying a boy into the men's bathroom with an angry face, followed by Wang Zhuo, Zhang Yihe, and a bunch of boys who don't know where they came from.

A dozen or so tall boys went into the bathroom together, and the last one even locked the door.

Gu Qi secretly glanced at the panicked girls at the door of Class [-], frowned, and suddenly flashed many things that happened before.

Thinking about it, the mobile phone in the pocket of the school uniform suddenly vibrated, and when he took it out, it was Chen Mengfang.

"mom……"

"Xiao Qi, I've been delayed by work here, why don't you stay at school for half an hour before I pick you up?" Chen Mengfang's voice was full of exhaustion after work and apologies to Gu Qi. Gu Xi felt distressed.I can't help but blame myself, my mother is already so tired, and she still has to worry about her own affairs, if it wasn't for...

Gu Xi subconsciously glanced at his left hand, feeling a sense of guilt in his heart, and that feeling drove him to say, "No need, Mom, I'll just go back by myself, don't worry."

"Can you go home by car alone?" The woman at the other end was worried that she knew what was going on with her son, so she didn't dare to rest assured.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, Mom, hurry up and get busy with work." Listening to the noisy voice on the other end, Gu Qi said: "You go to work first, I can cook by myself."

Before Chen Mengfang answered, Gu Xi had already hung up the phone, turned back to the classroom, packed his schoolbag and left the classroom.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, it was dusk, Gu Qi stopped and looked at the students walking back and forth on campus, feeling a little lonely in his heart.

It seems like everyone has a companion, only you are single.

I'm not like that...

Thinking of this, the boy sighed, and when he was about to continue walking, he felt a cool breeze blowing from behind, and before he turned his head, he felt that someone had patted his right shoulder.

Subconsciously looked to the right, but there was no one there. Gu Qi was wondering when he heard someone laughing on his left.

"Why are you falling for such a simple trap?" Shen Yize was carrying a bag on one shoulder and holding the ball in his right hand, looking foolish.

Knowing that he had been duped, Gu Qi blinked and didn't answer, but just looked at him with burning eyes.

Shen Yize, who looked a little embarrassed by him, swallowed his saliva, and had nothing to say: "Well, are you going home alone?"

"Yeah." Gu Xi said concisely.

"Then do you want to play basketball? We have an appointment with the freshman in high school." Shen Yize didn't know why the other party said so little, so he could only ask tentatively, and after the question, he spun the basketball with his right index finger.

Gu Qi's eyes were attracted by his turn, Shen Yize smiled when he saw this, and continued to ask: "Will you go?"

"But I won't." Gu Qi still whispered, and Shen Yize couldn't help admiring himself. If others talked to him like that, he would have been annoyed.But Gu Xi looked like a good baby, as if he should talk like this.

Shen Yize collected the ball and hugged it with his right arm: "Then you can be a spectator and watch me play, will it work?"

Gu Xi, who was carrying a schoolbag, wanted to refuse subconsciously, because he hated crowded places, but when he looked up and saw the expectant gaze of the other party, he nodded his head in a mysterious way.

Seeing that he agreed, Shen Yize was overjoyed, and after saying a few words, he took him to the playground.

Shen Yize walked fast, and Gu Qi couldn't keep up after following him for dozens of steps.

The boy walking in front noticed it, slowed down, and walked into the basketball court with him.
