Jiang Yu subconsciously stood there listening to the other party's explanation with a dazed expression.

Because in Gu Zhi's version of the story.

That year, Jiang Yu's incident was very big and widespread. Not only Beicheng and Z City, but even many students in other provinces knew that the liberal arts champion in No. 7 Middle School in Z City was inexplicably willful in his ownFilled in two magical vocational training schools on the voluntary form, and made myself have to stay in school to repeat.

So naturally, he heard the name "Jiang Yu" many times among the many gossips and discussions.

"I didn't pay much attention to it at first," Gu Zhi said, "because there are many excellent people, and I am one of them, so unless this person is familiar with me, or other than me getting first place in the gradeIn addition to what they can do, there are other shining points or special features on them, otherwise I would not spend any time and energy to pay special attention and attention."

He is such a person.

On the surface, he is friendly and close to everyone, but in fact he is very cold and cold on the inside.

This is why he was neither cold nor hot towards Jiang Yu before he was "reborn" back to the present - he would always reply to the news, but he always replied not quickly and relatively objectively - except for the occasional good mood.In addition, basically the main reason why they never take the initiative to send messages to Jiang Yu.

"Until that day," he said, "it was supposed to be the time when the university started, and when you were chatting with me, you were still telling me that you had to go to school to make up classes in two days."

That day, he didn't know why he suddenly reflexively asked Jiang Yu: [Didn't you all graduate?Why make up lessons.]

But when he saw the sentence from Jiang Yu's reply, "Oh, the Peking University and Tsinghua University I filled out earlier was a bit different from the one that ordinary people defaulted to. The full name is Peking University Jade Bird and Tsinghua Tongfang, so I can onlyGo back to school and repeat for another year." After that.

"I finally connected you with the god of liberal arts and science who has been widely rumored in the colleges and universities in the North City," Gu Zhi said, "and then for the first time, I asked youA few more personal questions."

"That's why you asked me the name of my school and the name of the city where I live."

Having said that in a hurry, Jiang Yu couldn't care less about being angry and cheating or not. He didn't even have time to be surprised that the other party was "reborn" as he had guessed at first.

His memory has always been relatively good, as long as he is reminded, his fast-moving brain can quickly recall the content and scenes at that time.

Jiang Yu followed up with Gu Zhi's words in a very complicated tone and expression.

"Just to confirm more accurately, am I the one in No. 7 Middle School, who has been rumored to be the 'bad Wenqu star' in the high schools in the entire North City, isn't it?"

"yes."

Gu Zhi nodded without hiding anything.

It's really just to make sure.

So he went to search for Jiang Yu's photos later, and then... because some people grew up with long blooms, while others grew up with equal proportions, he found another thing that surprised him.It feels very unexpected and coincidental.

This is also the main reason why he saw Jiang Yu by chance in the bookstore that day, and immediately decided to find a way to get the other party's absolute attention.

But he didn't plan to talk about it yet, and he didn't plan to let Jiang Yu know for the time being.

"..."

Jiang Yu suddenly stopped talking.

When the truth of the matter was re-presented before his eyes in a way completely different from his previous conjectures, he really didn't know whether he should be lucky or worried.

He knew what he was rumored to be outside, it was really hard to imagine, Gu Zhi's mental journey when he knew that he was Jiang Xiaoyu.

So I could only lower my head without saying a word, and was silent for a long time. Then, when everything was uncovered, as if everything had been put on the table, I raised my face and asked frankly and bluntly.: "Then what happened later, when you were completely sure that Jiang Xiaoyu was Jiang Yu..."

Jiang Yu didn't know why he was talking, so his voice dropped involuntarily.

After a pause of two seconds, Cai still wanted to know very much, and continued to ask after the previous words.

"You were disappointed."

Jiang Yu's eyes locked on Gu Zhi's without blinking.

"After knowing that I am the one they are rumored to be?"

If we say that when he thought that Gu Zhi was just playing and teasing him, Jiang Yu's heart was full of disappointment and anger that he was sincere or wronged.

Then, after knowing that the other party probably didn't mean it that way, and didn't let his sincerity be delivered to the wrong person, all that lingered in his heart suddenly left only the initial uneasiness and apprehension.

The liking and dependence on [Da Zhi] is far better than those subjective prejudices on Gu Zhi.

Especially after he had already discovered that Gu Zhi was not as annoying as he had imagined before, but he still showed his worst side to the fullest in front of the other party and ended up making such a fuss.

I am afraid that the other party has actually secretly reduced his points in my heart, and I feel that I am not as good as I want.

I'm even more afraid that Gu Zhi is so stubborn that he has to explain to him, and it's just because he doesn't want him to misunderstand himself and feel that he is a villain with low personal character.

So just want to explain clearly to him, but don't have any thoughts and thoughts on continuing to maintain the previous relationship with him, or to be friends with him.

In fact, it's no wonder that he can't help but think in this direction.

After all, the authorities are obsessed, and it will be almost a year before both of them are "reborn".

Gu Zhi knew from that time that Jiang Yu and Jiang Xiaoyu were alone, but he didn't make any moves.

Although he hasn't broken contact with him, but he neither told him about it on WeChat, nor deliberately went to him in reality, as if he didn't intend to have any intersection with him in reality, let alone plan toHow to be friends with him.

Coupled with the rumors about him circulating in the colleges and universities in Beicheng...so the only thing he could think of was this possibility.

But Gu Zhi's response was to look at him in surprise, and while he wasn't very surprised that he was "reborn" like himself, he raised his eyebrows not quite understanding why he thought so.

"What do you mean? Why should I be disappointed?"

Gu Zhi looked at him inexplicably: "I've known you for so many years, why didn't I hear you chatting with me behind my back about all the big and small things at school and at home?"

Even if the versions of the two sides were different at the time, when I heard it from someone else, I would have a feeling of "this person is really crazy, and his behavior is really arrogant".

But after knowing that that person is Jiang Yu, wouldn't he contact the context himself?

He turned his head to look at Jiang Yu with an expression of "I really don't understand why you think that way".

"What is the truth of the matter and the reason why it happened like that, can anyone know better than me?"

"..."

Jiang Yu lowered his head again and remained silent.

After a long while, he still couldn't hold back and raised his eyes to look at him again.

"Then why didn't you mention this matter to me in the next year?"

He also looked at Gu Zhi completely incomprehensible to the other party's behavior: "Isn't it because of..."

"Of course not."

Gu Zhi's conditions in all aspects have always been superior to those around him, whether it's his family background and environment, or the external and internal talents and advantages he was born with.

So his inner temperament is actually very proud, and his heart and vision are also exceptionally high.

For example, this kind of brain circuit and logic always seem to be not on the same line of communication and communication. If it were someone else today, he must have given up and explained more to the other party, or it would be patient.I will continue to spend more time here with my temper.

Because he will feel that it is not necessary.

Since the other party can't get the signal he released and the meaning he really wanted to express, it means that they are not on the same logical thinking line.

And if you want to have a deep friendship with such a person, it will definitely be more troublesome and tiring than with those who can immediately understand his next move and thoughts.

So under normal circumstances, he would choose to give up without hesitation.

And he didn't care about what kind of misinterpretation and misunderstanding the other party would have about him because of his choice.

It's just that this person is Jiang Yu now.

After weighing and deliberating for a certain period of time, he still made up his mind to get close to that "poor little bug" who was tolerant and cared for as much as possible.

So he could only suppress the negative emotions that were surging up almost unconsciously in his heart, and continue to explain those reasons to Jiang Yu with his greatest patience since birth.

"Because I don't know how I should tell you."

Gu Zhi said: "We were completely unfamiliar at that time, and the image you set up outside was so arrogant and domineering and even cold."

"If I had inexplicably ran up to you and told you, hey, Wenquxing, I have all the secrets and black history of your youth and ignorance here."

As he spoke, he spread his hands, and tilted his head slightly more helplessly than before, looking at Jiang Yu quietly.

"Not to mention the dismantling of the character set, the key is that I, a close stranger, still hold so many little secrets of yours... If I really ran to tell you at that time without saying a word, I would ask you if you want toDie on the spot, or let me die on the spot."

Gu Zhi said.

Jiang Yu: "..."

really.

It's not unreasonable for him to have this worry.

There is a saying that is often said, time can't actually help us solve any problems, but it will make the problems less important in our hearts than they were then.

Everything is time-sensitive.

Many things may take a long, long time, and when we look back, we will feel in our hearts: Huh?It turned out to be such an insignificant thing, why was it that I couldn't resist that turn, and I just regarded it as more important than anything else?!

For example, he wished to please Mo Xianyu and Jiang Tingzhou at the beginning.

But those in authority are often extraordinarily delusional.

During the period when they were unable to bend over, this matter was the most important to the parties concerned.

No one can talk too much, can't persuade, let alone inquire and interfere too much.

Especially those who don't want others to know.

For example, what Jiang Yu and Da Zhi said.

At that time, he certainly didn't want people around him—especially those around him who didn't know—to know.

Because if they are lucky, they may be like Pei Ben, just out of sympathy and regret, they will not stop lobbying and persuading themselves.

But if you are unlucky, those people will say behind his back that he is like this, that he is like that, and they may even spread the word widely, revealing all the secrets that he doesn't want others to know overnight, making things worse.Everyone knows.

In his bones, he is a person who attaches great importance to dignity and decency.

To be able to tell those things completely to Dazhi, who he thought was thousands of miles away and would never be known by the people around him, was already considered his limit.

What's more, as he grows older, he has also begun to restrain himself more and more obviously in the later time, he has not said anything outside, and he is less and less shameless like before.Go pester someone for an answer.

So Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and thought carefully for a moment, and still agreed with Gu Zhi's statement just now.

If only he had told himself then...

Jiang Yu thought about it, and found that he really didn't know what he would do because of this incident at that time.

But no matter what, the only result he can be sure of is that his friendship with "Da Zhi" must end the moment he knows that Da Zhi is Gu Zhi.

And so...

Jiang Yu raised his eyes.

"Have you figured it out?"

Although, sometimes this child's mind seems to be too easy to guess, basically everything he thinks in his heart is written on his face.

Gu Zhi saw what he wanted to say at a glance, and before him he had already opened his mouth and said, "I didn't tell you because I didn't want to be friends with you anymore, on the contrary, I just wanted toI'm your friend, so I didn't tell you right away."

Jiang Yu is silent.

After a while, I suddenly remembered something, and stared at him: "Then you were in the bookstore..."

"Scholar's reverse thinking is no stranger to radiation thinking, right?"

On this matter, Gu Zhi said quite confidently: "There are so many people scolding your words and deeds and praising your achievements behind your back, if I follow suit and do the same, it is absolutely impossible to attract your attention, isn't it?"

"So I can only improvise, and do the opposite to belittle the achievements you are most proud of." He said, "After all, the first step in wanting to be friends with you is to gain enough presence.It’s the truth that caught your attention, right?”

This is also the fundamental reason why he moved to the same community as Jiang Yu, and ran into Jiang Yu on the day Pei Ben left.

But at that time, he really wanted to comfort Jiang Yu by the way, but he didn't appreciate it.

Jiang Yu: "..."

If these words were put out of Gu Zhi's mouth in normal times, or before today.

Then even if he doesn't say it, he has to answer him in his heart immediately: "Are you serious, brother???"

For example, when Da Zhi asked him if there was such a possibility in WeChat, he thought so in his heart.

But now Gu Zhi is a big squeak.

And he also told himself that he was serious, indeed it was just to get his attention.

The expression is serious and the tone is serious.

……Fine.

"I thought……"

"Think that I, like Pei Ben, don't want you to give up on yourself, so I said those words in the bookstore on purpose, just to inspire you to come to Nangao to study?"

Gu Zhi was still able to read minds and said the words he wanted to ask first. Seeing the subtle expression on Jiang Yu's face that was obviously hit by what he said, his voice paused.

"Little friend, I'm just an ordinary student who is about the same level as you. I'm not a magician. Even if I really have such thoughts, how can I be sure that you will really transfer it because of those words?"

He said.

"..."

Jiang Yu didn't speak.

Gu Zhi went on to say: "Besides, even if I can calculate that you will transfer, then based on your grades and aptitude, do you have to come to Nangao School if you want to study theory? Can't you stay in No. 7 Middle School?"

"Your No. 7 Middle School is very poor in science? So it's not the same as Nangao, has there been any city champions or provincial champions?"

He sent out soul torture that was completely irrefutable.

Jiang Yu: "..."

Indeed, the difference between Nangao and the No. 7 Middle School does not lie in the fact that the champions of arts and sciences in each class are from which side, nor does it mean that the arts/sciences of the other school are all bad.

The overall strength has always been evenly matched.

It’s just that relatively speaking, the annual admission rate of these two schools is that Nangao’s science subjects are higher, while No. 7 Middle School’s liberal arts subjects are even better.

"So, I can't calculate that far. I don't have such thoughts, and I really didn't deliberately trick you." Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Gu Zhicai continued to tell him, "And I never felt thatYou are giving up on yourself, and you don't need my persuasion at all."

After speaking, seeing Jiang Yu couldn't hold back and suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, he folded his arms with a funny face again, thinking his reaction was very interesting and let out a "tsk".

"No. 1 in Beicheng, student, if Beili in Nancheng also joins the battle, maybe you will be promoted to No. 1 in City Z." Gu Zhi almost thought he was in Versailles and said to Jiang Yu, "If this can be called giving up on yourself, then I think you want all the people behind you to die on the spot."

"After all, the hurt and humiliation are too great, which is enough to make them doubt their own life value."

He said.

Jiang Yu: "..."

Although, he can barely understand the matter of attracting attention, but——

"Then you always don't speak human words, don't do human affairs, and deliberately step on my minefield to flirt?"

Jiang Yu held back in silence for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back and looked at Gu Zhi with a "wonderful" look.

"Especially when you said that the subway was overweight, and when you exposed me in public in the classroom... Don't tell me that you did it because you wanted to become friends with me." He said, "Are you sure you are serious?Do you really want to make friends with me, instead of planning to make yourself an enemy because of this?"

It's really off the charts.

It was the first time he had seen someone make friends in such a way of owed.

However, Jiang Yu still knows that some fools with not very bright minds always like to play the mentally retarded drama of "bullying whoever they like".

When he said that, he was actually angry because he mentioned it, and wanted to take this opportunity to settle these matters with the other party, so he deliberately set up a trap for Gu Zhi—as long as Gu Zhi dared to express and admit that he was alsoOne of those idiots is dead.He will definitely take advantage of the opportunity he finally found to attack on the spot, and tell the person in front of him what he should do in order to be called the correct way to make friends.

But Gu Zhi is obviously not.

In fact, since he has been among thousands of flowers, he seems to have a good relationship with everyone, but he has been able to keep a leaf from touching himself, except for Lin An, who was asked by others to take care of him.What other closer friends, but in Nangao, or the students in the entire Beicheng, he has an unusually high praise rate and popularity value, which shows that his emotional intelligence is actually very high.

So Jiang Yu didn't get what he wanted.

Not only did he not get what he wanted, he was also given Gu Zhi's next answer, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

"Of course not," Gu Zhi said, "The reason why I did that was because I wanted to tell you once and for all that you have the worst temper and the worst behavior towards people., I have personally experienced it, but I am still willing and want to continue to be your friend."

"Then you don't have to worry about whether I will have any prejudice against your previous words and deeds in the future, right?" He said, "There is no need to wrong yourself to do it just to make a good impression on me.What you don't want to do, and pretending to be something you don't want to do."

"Just continue to be the most authentic you." Jiang Yu heard him say, "I will take care of the rest by myself, and slowly adapt to it in the following time."

This is also the key reason why he didn't ask to meet with her until yesterday.

"Because I think the foreshadowing and timing are almost the same, and you should be able to intuitively feel that the part in my heart is sincere and sincere, isn't it?" he said.

Although at some point, he did it because he just wanted to tease him—such as the time he said "Look at my little wife" on the subway—but the main reason was really because of this.

It's just because he knew that the intention to tease people would never be admitted in person under the current situation, so he deliberately ignored it and didn't say anything.

Jiang Yu: "..."

Gu Zhi's answer was too over the top, completely different from what he had originally imagined.

It's really hard to be indifferent and touched.

Especially this last explanation, to him it was simply a lore.

After all, when you were still anxiously thinking about how to become what the other party is most satisfied with and wants to see the most, you suddenly find that the other party is also thinking about how to come to you without saying anything, andI even went off the field in person, skipped the verbal things, and told you with practical actions that you actually don’t do anything, that’s all you need to do... This is not just a pure two-way rush, but also impliesThere is an invisible connivance and partiality.

Before the reunion, no matter how badly he treated the other party, Gu Zhi never showed a little bit of retreat or impatience because of this, but he has always treated each other with kind words until now.

Even yesterday, before he was caught off guard and discovered that the other party was [Big Squeak].

Gu Zhidu still seemed to be trying to make up for the regrets he didn't have before, holding an umbrella and walking towards him in the heavy rain without hesitation, and then asked him gently and gentlemanly: "Can ICan't take you home?"

Jiang Yu really couldn't tell at all what kind of complex emotions were rushing up in his heart at this moment.

So he just looked at Gu Zhi blankly and blankly.

Letting the messy fragments in his mind automatically fit together little by little in the flickering light and dark, until they are connected into a line, which is almost obvious, pointing to a person who is now enlightenedThe possibility of thinking, but not being able to control myself, having to think that way.

"Then did you let me find out on purpose yesterday, or did you really not want me to find out, just because you didn't have time to mute your phone?"

After Jiang Yu thought about it again and again, he still asked Gu Zhi such a question first.

After all, his flustered look at that time was too realistic, and the force he squeezed his wrist later on was also terrifyingly heavy, Jiang Yu didn't think it seemed like he could fake it.

Gu Zhi was startled.

This question and the sudden change of mind were beyond his expectation, so he couldn't answer it fluently immediately.

Instead, he instinctively froze for a moment, and then told Jiang Yu the truth with a difficult look on his face.

"Did not have time."

Gu Zhi said: "In the beginning, I really planned to take off the horse automatically, but I don't know why, but when I saw you, you changed your mind because of that 'I want to take you home'."When I thanked you, I suddenly regretted it."

So he temporarily changed his mind, thinking that at least he had to wait until the person was sent home first.

"But who knew that you moved so fast," Gu Zhi sighed helplessly when he said this, "I haven't even unlocked my screensaver yet, and you called directly."

Jiang Yu didn't speak.

It's just suddenly confirmed that Gu Zhi, to a certain extent, should have the same candor and honesty as himself.

So without hesitation, he asked the second question that he wanted to ask the most.

"So it's actually because you like me."

Jiang Yu looked into Gu Zhi's eyes firmly, resisting the tension and apprehension in his heart, and asked him calmly and calmly: "It was only when Tong Jiali chased him to the gate of Nangao, and told her that it was I who fell in love with you at first sight."

"Is it?"

Most of the teenagers are straightforward, dare to say hate casually, and dare to speak boldly about love.

No matter who the other party is or what kind of person they are.

Secularity and prejudice are nothing in their eyes.

But they are often unconsciously bound by the pride and fear in their hearts.

Especially in this kind of situation where you want to confirm the other party's mind, but also fear that it will create a gap with the other party, which will lead to alienation of the relationship.

And now Jiang Yu obviously had both.

He is afraid of being ruthlessly rejected after saying he likes it, and he is also afraid that he has finally caught the star in his hand, and he has not had time to hold it tightly in his hand, because of the part in his heart that could have been kept silent forever.feelings, and was pushed away by himself with his own hands.

So what he asked was actually very mysterious.

It is suitable for both advance and retreat.

If Gu Zhi's answer is "yes", then he can smoothly show the other party that he is too.

But if the other party's answer is "no", then he can also retort and press the matter down as if nothing had happened, and tell Gu Zhi directly: It's nothing, maybe it's because he spends too much time on the post bar and forums when he's bored, and he's a bit confusedThose made-up fanfics affected.

This is the first step he intends to take toward Gu Zhi without hesitation after he has enlightened and accepted all of this, and it is also a way out for his future relationship with Gu Zhi.

The answer Gu Zhi gave was——

He was stunned with an expression that was even more unexpected than before.

...

Although it is not stated clearly, it is enough.

Jiang Yu understood the meaning of his reaction at a glance, and opened his mouth almost immediately as if nothing had happened.

Following this reaction, he gave a third kind of response that he thought up on the spot, which was fairly natural.

"Okay, then we'll be even in this matter."

Jiang Yu turned his head and looked away with a look of "success".

"Who told you to always tease me before." He lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "Then I'll tease you by the way."

...

The expression on Gu Zhi's face quickly returned to normal after these few words.

He thought that Jiang Yu asked that question just now because he really wanted to tease him back, so he didn't mention it any more.

He solemnly apologized to Jiang Yu, and then coaxed people gently and said: "I know that what I did is really too much for you, if you want to vent your anger, you can do it nowIt doesn't matter what you say or do."

"But Jiang Xiaoyu," Jiang Yu heard him say to himself in a low voice, "You can be angry, and I am willing to admit my mistakes. But at least for the sake of my sincerity, I still hope youAfter getting angry, you can think about it more carefully, discard your previous prejudices against 'Gu Zhi', more or less, and think about the little friendship that 'Da Zhi' has cultivated with you over the yearsof."

"After all, I am full of plans, and I am similar to you. I am only a child of seventeen or eighteen years old. I can't handle everything so comprehensively and comprehensively like some adults."

He said.

Jiang Yu: "..."

The steps have already reached here, and there is no point in continuing to carry them down.

Although the things Gu Zhi did made him quite angry at the time, but thinking about it later, it was actually not something that was particularly unforgivable. He had heard too much of what he said in the bookstore over the years, which were more extreme and more vicious..

When he was in Tanghu Middle School and No. 7 Middle School, he was even intentionally or unintentionally isolated by the people around him because of his personality and behavior style.

So in comparison, what Gu Zhi did was nothing at all.

In addition, no matter what, after listening to these explanations, Jiang Yu still knew the reason why he lied to him, and he was thinking more about himself.

He wasn't angry anymore, and he didn't intend to break off the relationship with the other party, so he went down this step.

"Then you can't play and lie to me like a fool again in the future."

While Jiang Yu pressed everything in Gu Zhi's arms forcefully, he stared at Gu Zhi's deep eyes with slightly lighter pupils almost for a moment: "You promise!"

Gu Zhi's breath was stagnant just after he relaxed.

But it was only a matter of a second or two, and he covered it up with a smile without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"...Okay, I promise."

"Except for those things before, I will never lie to you again, let alone tease you again."

After Gu Zhi spoke ambiguously, he took advantage of the situation and grabbed his wrist that was still pressed against his chest before he could retract it in time.

"so now"

Jiang Yu heard him whispering to himself in a softer voice than usual when talking to other people.

"Can I send this little boy who is alone in front of me home?"

Almost bewitching, Gu Zhi moved forward calmly, and got close to a suitable position that was irresistible, but he would not feel that he was offended. His eyes gently looked into Jiang Yu's eyes.

"So tell him that Jiang Xiaoyu will be a kid who will come and pick him up when it rains in the future."

He said: "It is also a little devil who will always be loved and cared about by someone."

Jiang Yu: "........."

Almost the second his voice fell into his heart irresistibly, he withdrew his wrist from Gu Zhi's hand as if he had been scalded.

"Forget it... Forget it, I suddenly remembered what you said to me in the classroom before, 'the strong don't gossip too much', and I still don't want to forgive you, and I don't want to continue to be friends with you."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Zhi to speak, he "snatched" something from his arms, turned around and ran to the side of the road, stopped a car and left.

Gu Zhi: "..."
