On the day of the New Year's Eve, because he really wanted to celebrate the New Year with Gu Zhi more, Jiang Yu rejected the New Year's Eve party that he had agreed with [Douzi] and the others without thinking.Having changed his clothes and got ready, he was restlessly doing his homework while waiting for Xia Ke to call him.

Even though he knew it was still early, he basically checked his phone every half an hour on average.

And I'm always thinking wildly, and I can't calm down to study the questions seriously.

It’s not that you have to take a note to the side while brushing to remind yourself that you must never drink alcohol at night, and you must control yourself not to talk and do nonsense, or when you are halfway through solving a problem, you suddenly stop writing as if you have lost your mind.Talking to himself, he began to recite in a low voice the precautions that he must definitely keep in mind during those nights that he wrote down in his notebook just now.

Even when Gu Zhi called him at the right time and asked him if he wanted to go out with him, he still muttered to himself in a daze, "Don't drink alcohol, don't act too close to him."Intimacy, let alone let people see his small thoughts about Gu Zhi, if people see it, it will be over." This kind of self-warning words.

Then he subconsciously chose to refuse, telling Gu Zhi that he had already been called out by Xia Ke.

Because he suddenly realized that his psychological defense against Gu Zhi was really too low.

Even most of the time, he can tell himself very rationally that he should not get too close to Gu Zhi, at least not in front of others.

When was in school, always used targeting and indifference as a cover.

Even sometimes, Gu Zhi completely ignored his tactful refusals, and would still tentatively wait for him at the subway station with Lin An, and then take the same subway with him to go home.If you have nothing to say, but you don't take the initiative to talk to the other party, you should treat it rationally.

But on the day of the holiday, after hearing that Gu Zhi had finished answering for him, he motioned him to look at his phone, and told him in WeChat that Hao Yan was going to invite them to a New Year's Eve dinner and bring them together for New Year's Eve, and heI will go this year too.

He broke his guard immediately, and without saying a word in front of the public, he didn't do anything or even say anything, and let Hao Yan write down his name.

So he was very afraid that he would say something he shouldn't say at the dinner table at night, or in the chat after dinner, and do something he shouldn't do at all.

He didn't even dare to go to the hotel with Gu Zhi.

But Gu Zhi and the others didn't know about this, nor did they expect so much.

When Jiang Yu and Xia Ke arrived, there were not many people on Hao Yan's statistical list.

He was not familiar with the others, and even because of his personality and demeanor, except for borrowing something in class, he basically didn't talk to these people much.

He didn't want to get acquainted with these people either, originally it was because of Gu Zhi, so as soon as he entered the door, he randomly found a seat near the corner and sat.

Amidst the sparse chatter without saying a word, he lowered his head and played with his mobile phone to himself.

He didn't notice when the others came, nor did he notice when Hao Yan and Wen Xin arrived.

He didn't even notice when Gu Zhi arrived.

Until a hand with slender and clean joints and a string of dark brown Buddhist beads that he was very familiar with hung on his wrist came across the sky, and without any explanation, he took the phone out of his unsuspecting palm——

"When you go out to eat, you have to be in a group."

When Jiang Yu raised his eyes subconsciously, he heard that also very familiar voice, gently admonishing himself above his head in an unhurried manner.

"How can you know how to play with your mobile phone in this situation?"

After finishing speaking, he conveniently put Jiang Yu's cell phone into the coat pocket in his arm.

"The table is about to start, and I will confiscate the things first." Gu Zhi turned sideways without giving Jiang Yu a chance, holding his clothes and pointing at the big round table behind which almost everyone has already taken their seats, "Please,Just waiting for you to sit down."

Jiang Yu: "..."

He silently stared at the large table of people who were all looking this way for a few seconds, then got up and walked over without saying anything.

He just turned on his toes in the middle of the walk, and didn't go to the two places specially reserved for Gu Zhi and him by those people.Instead, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he suddenly changed his route somewhat willfully and unreasonably, and walked straight to where Xia Ke was sitting.

"You, go and sit over there."

Jiang Yu raised his finger and checked the two adjacent positions that were vacant on the opposite side.

"I want to sit with you."

His expression and tone were a little blunt and unreasonable.

"Ah... oh, ok."

Xia Ke subconsciously exchanged glances with other people on the table. Although he didn't quite understand what happened to those two positions, in order not to spoil the atmosphere, he got up immediately and picked up his chair from the back of the chair.The jacket walked towards the two empty seats.

Gu Zhi, who didn't even look at Jiang Yu, sat down with a glance.

His intention was actually to avoid suspicion.

Afraid that I would inadvertently do something that I shouldn't have done while sitting with Gu Zhi while eating, and because I was used to speaking directly and was not good at covering up but couldn't refuse Gu Zhi's initiative,And under Gu Zhi's forced conversation at that time, he said something that would cause people to misunderstand.

That's why I would rather let everyone feel that he is not easy to get along with, and in this kind of occasion, I still have to exchange places with others.

But who knows that after a while, Gu Zhi, who stopped to watch him and Xia Ke exchange places, also walked towards his seat.

"Excuse me, can I trouble you to change with me, and condescend to sit in the opposite seat?"

Jiang Yu suddenly heard Gu Zhi standing behind him, asking the classmate sitting on his left in an unusually gentlemanly manner.

At the end, I added a few words very thoughtfully: "This location will definitely be the serving port later, and it may not be convenient for you to sit and eat here."

"Besides, as the one with the biggest position in the class, he is usually supported and respected by everyone in the class. Now is the time to give back. How can you let this kind of thing happen, especially for someone like you who should feel at easeYou shouldn't worry about other young ladies when you eat at the table, right?"

Gu Zhi also said with his usual smile on his face.

The girl sitting on Jiang Yu's left had always blatantly liked Gu Zhi in class.

Usually, not only would she go to Gu Zhi’s position with such and other problems to clear up her doubts when she was free, but she would also openly admit that Gu Zhi was so ignorant when other people deliberately made fun of her and Gu Zhi.Perfect and excellent, so what if she likes it for a while, let alone Nangao, even in the whole Beicheng, there are few girls who can say that they don't like such a person.

As soon as he heard the other party talk to him so actively, the words were full of caring and thinking for himself, he accepted his kindness on the spot, got up without hesitation, and walked to the seat next to Xia Ke with his coatup.

Even before leaving, she shyly thanked Gu Zhi.

While watching with his own eyes, the person he likes is suddenly so gentle and caring towards others, Jiang Yu, who can even be called unconsciously flirting with girls: "..."

Blinded by the sudden strong jealousy and jealousy in his heart, he didn't think about whether the other party changed seats because he wanted to sit with him.

I just feel that I might as well not come to eat this meaningless banquet for him today, at least I can get out of sight.

Both wronged and angry for no reason.

Because although Gu Zhi is usually gentle and friendly to people, he is always smiling and gentle when talking to anyone.

But others have always taken the initiative to talk to him. Apart from explaining some business matters, he basically never took the initiative to talk to anyone, let alone this kind of intentional provocation under the pretext of being considerate——Jiang YudanThe side firmly believes that——.

That was obviously a special case only for him.

Jiang Yu was very upset.

He couldn't figure it out, he hadn't seen that Gu Zhi had anything special about this girl in school before, why did he suddenly start flirting with her today?

Does Gu Zhi like her???

But when did this happen?

He sat with Gu Zhi every day, and watched that girl come to ask Gu Zhi questions every day, but Gu Zhi never showed anything wrong in front of him.There is no difference between people.

Otherwise, he could not have noticed.

Jiang Yu's gaze unconsciously followed the girl without any focus, and he didn't hear what Gu Zhi asked him seemingly casually afterwards: "Huh? What are you looking at?"

On the contrary, when he looked back full of doubts, and subconsciously looked at Gu Zhi next to him, he happened to see that the other party was also looking at the girl, and when he met her eyes, he smiled and nodded——

In the blink of an eye, suddenly remembered that a long time ago at Pei Ben's house, accompanied Tong Jiali and Grandma Lu who was still alive at the time, and watched those things that were not nutritious.Some plots in domestic idol dramas about love between girls.

He used to be a master of liberal arts, his imagination and associative power were always richer and astonishing than ordinary people, and combined with Gu Zhi's previous sophisticated layout that was also working in reverse in order to get close to him.

Soon, I deduced a secret love and being crushed, protecting and being protected in my heart "reasonable and well-founded".In the pocket, a campus love drama of "Beautiful Love" and membership money was cheated.

I think that Gu Zhi is likely to be the same as some dark-bellied and gentle domineering presidents in TV dramas, in order to protect that girl from the jealousy and harm of other girls at school, so she usually treats her like no different at school.Treat her like everyone else.

It's similar to the kind of behavior that I like you and want to send you a flower, but I can't give it directly, and I can't let others see it, so I can only send a flower to everyone in the class.

So from the moment the girl walked over to the position next to Xia Ke, Jiang Yu's undisguised gaze seemed to be glued to her.

Not only did seriously write down the dishes that people often stretched out their chopsticks to pick up during the meal and chat, but couldn't hold back after eating, and for the first time, took the initiative to talk to people in the class,Secretly asked the boy sitting on his right about his name and hobbies.

The boy was so flattered and unbelievable that he stared at him in surprise for a long time before answering, and then honestly told him something he knew.

But he only asked these two questions.

He was rubbing his head with the boy's hair with his head tilted, thinking what else to ask, but the man on the other side used his unstained wrist to cross the back of the neck and hook his head backin situ.

"Excuse me"

Immediately afterwards, he heard Gu Zhi touch him with his elbow again, and at the same time he said beside him without much emotion: "Help take down the tissue."

"..."

The grievance and anger in Jiang Yu's heart hadn't gone away, and he felt that the tissue was right by his hand.It was not my turn to look for him, and he was a little angry and didn't want to help.

So while turning his head to look at the past, without even thinking about it, he planned to ask him back, "Don't you have long hands?".

As a result, he only uttered four words when he saw that Gu Zhi's hands were greasy, and he put the white porcelain plate in front of him that contained the freshly peeled shrimp meat in front of him without saying a word.

"Reciprocity is courteous."

Gu Zhi pointedly raised his chin towards the tissue in his hand and said.

Jiang Yu: "..."

Just... there are still some people who want to avoid suspicion and are unwilling to accept it, so didn't help.

Still holding his own bowl and chopsticks and silently delivering things to his mouth.

It seemed that he was very unwilling to exchange courtesy with the other party, and even less willing to accept his kindness to peel the shrimp for himself.

Gu Zhi's eyes dimmed behind the thin lenses.

He frowned unconsciously.

At first, he thought that Jiang Yu was simply still angry because of the sentence he said too seriously at the time.

Thinking about children, I haven’t enjoyed being angry as much as I want for so many years. No matter what, there will be people chasing after me to please and coax the treatment of the real young master. I finally found a suitable reason and the right time.As well as the right person, it's okay to lose your temper a bit more, and it's okay to be angry for a little longer.

But then half a semester passed, and Jiang Yu was still the same, holding on to the sentence he said casually at the beginning, "the strong don't talk too much".Although my attitude towards him is a little bit better than before, I will start to respond to him sometimes talking to me when I have nothing to say, and I am willing to take the same subway with him to go home, even at school, except for classExcept for "tit for tat" with him, at other times, I didn't ignore him like before.

But it's been a whole semester.

He has also apologized very sincerely many times, and he has already said a lot of words to others intermittently.

Moreover, in the final exam of this semester, Jiang Yuming had really caught up with him by virtue of his strength, and tied for first place with him in the grade list with the same total score.

On the day when the results came out, Jiang Yu immediately took both of their papers for comparison, and then for the first time found a deduction item in the steps of solving a certain math problem of his.

Gu Zhi was also surprised at the time.

And at the same time as the accident, everyone thought that Jiang Yu would take the paper to make the matter public in order to elevate his eyebrows. After being "scolded" by someone behind his back for a semester of self-defeating, he would use the facts to tell the truth.Slapping them in the face and telling these people that the harsh words he uttered to himself when he first transferred was not arrogance, but something he could really do himself.

But Jiang Yu didn't.

He just pointed out the question to Gu Zhi, and for the first time in such a long time, he took the initiative to send him a message on WeChat, saying: "You write less in the steps of solving this question.It stands to reason that this step cannot be omitted in this way, so according to the strict scoring standard, you should be deducted another 1 point, so this time it should be regarded as my victory."

At that time, Gu Zhi thought that Jiang Yu had finally won the bet with himself, and he was calm and smooth.

Even when Hao Yan was counting the list, she tentatively spoke in advance to answer Jiang Yu's message, and privately asked Hao Yan to record both names.

Jiang Yu didn't refute at that time, but after glancing at him not quite understanding, he lowered his head very cooperatively to read his explanation in WeChat, and chose to acquiesce without saying a word, letting Hao Yanzhen listen to himAfter listening to his words, wrote down Jiang Yu's name.

So Gu Zhi thought that he had really calmed down.

That's why he dared to confiscate his mobile phone in public just now.

Who knows that it hasn't been long before Jiang Yu suddenly changed to this attitude again.

Gu Zhi stared at Jiang Yu for a moment with an inexplicable frown on his face, and he didn't know what was going on. He suddenly remembered that when he was talking about this matter with Lin An some time ago when he had a headache, the other party said to him almost absurdly.Yes, some possibility that he didn't think was possible at all—

"Do you... have any unreasonable thoughts about me?"

So within a few seconds, Jiang Yu didn't expect it at all, and suddenly heard the person next to him approaching his ear without warning and asking such a sentence.

The stutter in his mouth was so frightened that he almost didn't go straight down the throat to his stomach.

The hand that was still holding the chopsticks and holding the bowl was tight.

"..."

With great difficulty, Jiang Yu swallowed the thing that was fortunately still in the esophagus and did not stray into the trachea, and subconsciously turned his eyes to glance at the positions of other people on the table.

After confirming that no one heard him, he forced himself to turn his head and glared at Gu Zhi calmly, and said in a very low, almost breathless voice: "Are you sick?!"

...

Gu Zhi thought in his heart that this was impossible.

After being denied by Jiang Yu himself, he quickly reviewed what happened in the short twenty minutes in his mind.

Turning my mind for a while, I felt that I had grasped the clue of the whole thing.

His eyes glanced at the girl opposite him who changed places with him without any trace, then he stretched out his hand nonchalantly, over the bowl and plate in front of Jiang Yu, took two paper towels by himself and began to wipe his hands slowly.

He didn't ask Jiang Yu for help anymore, and he didn't care about the few shrimps that he peeled and put in front of Jiang Yu as a gesture of goodwill, but the other party silently refused to eat them.

Even during the mingling of wine and chips afterwards, he never took the initiative to talk to Jiang Yu again.

Until the third round of dinner, everyone has almost eaten. Some people say that it is still early anyway, and there is still a long time before the New Year's Eve fireworks in Fountain Square. It is quite cold outside, why notJust stay in the hotel for a while, let's play some small games together to pass the time, then get Hao Yan and Wen Xin's consent, and really stay in the private room for the time being, chatteringWhen discussing what to play.

Only then did he see the right moment, using public interest for personal gain, and at the same time he glanced at Jiang Yu indistinctly, he seemingly inadvertently put forward a reasonable suggestion that took into account the overall situation and allowed everyone present to join in.

The author has something to say:

Happy New Year's Eve~
