old city newcomer

Chapter 52

When Qi An was lying on the bed in the dormitory, he felt a little dizzy in his head, and there seemed to be something under the pillow.

When he took out the tickle and scratched his face in a daze, Pan Yang and Lu Chunze who were on the opposite bed smiled at the wall and trembled.

Gu Tong was sitting in the classroom reciting a book, completely unaware of what happened in the dormitory.

After thinking about it all weekend, he felt that "prescribing the right medicine" was the safest thing to do.

The days are going step by step, and the life is more fulfilling than before.

Every day, he has to concentrate on listening to lectures with 120 points. After class, when Qi An is not around, he will check his textbooks and notes and make supplements.Paste the post-it notes full of homework on Qi An's pencil case at night, and the day's hard work will be considered a success.

Going to visit Mr. Qi at Qi's house on the weekend, Gu Tong stood in front of the vermilion gate and called Lu Chunze first to let him open the door, then went straight to the main room, took Grandpa's hand and sat by the bed and said Talk for a while.

Old Master Qi is recovering well, but he can still see that he is much more haggard than before, and Gu Tong's heart tightens when he sees it.

He didn't disturb the old man's rest, and walked out of the room after saying a few words and closed the door behind his back.

"Not waiting for Qi An to come back?" Lu Chunze asked.

Qi An brought a small group today, and it should be almost over by now.Gu Tong shook his head, he didn't think about how to get along with Qi An alone, and his mood returned to the time when he first met him.

Love is really a magical thing, it can make you get carried away, and it can also bring you back to your original shape.

Qi Xin brought him two bags of rose cakes, and told him to bring them back to his brother and sister-in-law while they were still hot. They specially made low-sugar ones, so pregnant women can eat them too.

Gu Tong picked up two paper bags in a plastic bag, walked up the road along Zhonggu Lane, crossed the Xie Street, followed the memory to find the area where ice skating was in winter, bought a bottle of Arctic Ocean from a nearby shop, sat Staring at the lake in a daze on the bench.

He hiccupped a series of times, but he didn't get his thoughts back.

The setting sun was squeezed into a gap by the dark clouds, the shadows of the trees were sparsely shaking on the ground, and after a while there was a muffled thunder above the head.

Gu Tong looked up at Yin Yun, and was still sitting on the bench as if nothing happened, with an unshakable appearance.

He is still recalling what happened that day when he went to the temple fair with Qi An, breaking down the emotions of that day repeatedly. He doesn't think it's just a novelty, but if he can't hide in the crowd with Qi An one day every year and go crazy , "hunting for treasure" by Qi An's side, he felt uncomfortable being pulled.

Sitting next to someone, Gu Tong didn't bother to look sideways, still stuck in memory.

It wasn't until the bean-sized raindrops fell crazily that Gu Tong let out an "ah" and glanced sideways inadvertently when he got up.

Qi An.

The bottle nearly fell to the floor.

"I've been in a daze for almost an hour." Qi An finished speaking, took the bag in his hand, and dragged him to run under the eaves of a closed shop.

Both of them were half-drenched, Gu Tong stared at Qi An's side face for a long time, then withdrew his gaze and lowered his head, rubbing his hands together.

Then sneezed.

Qi An happened to be wearing a thin coat today, and it was what Qi Xin asked him to wear before going out to lead the group. He usually wears short sleeves and shorts at this time.Gu Tong felt that Qi An put the coat on her body, didn't look at him, didn't say thank you, just stood beside Qi An in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qi An squatted down, lit a cigarette and drank it, and also stared at the open space not far away, and the two of them remained silent for as long as it rained.

When the rain was getting weaker, Gu Tong suddenly remembered something, looked at Qi An again, and his body froze suddenly.

Qi An didn't wear earrings, and the earlobe was empty.

Sometimes the courage to fall in love needs some material to maintain. If the person you like always carries your things, you can get some support from them.

Just a glance and you can be resurrected with full blood.

It may also fail.

In Gu Tong's eyes, the pair of black earrings, the Nanhong bracelet, and the red rope tied with the gold ingot are all the bonds between him and Qi An. Seeing that their feelings can no longer be traced on Qi An.

For a moment, the string in Gu Tong's heart was disconnected along with this feeling of loss.

When Qi An took these away, he would have thought of Gu Tong's reaction, but he still insisted on taking them away.

It was the first and only time that Gu Tong stopped hiding in front of Qi An, and broke out happily.

"Am I that annoying to you?" Gu Tong gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, her body was still trembling.

Qi An didn't speak, he knew exactly what Gu Tong was doing.

"Why do you have to..." Gu Tong glanced at him, his eyes turned red, "You have to do this."

Gray smoke spiraled upwards, Qi An turned his eyes back, without saying a word.

"Speak." Gu Tong's voice trembled.

Considering his emotions, Qi An stood up and stroked his hair.

Gu Tong knew that he couldn't help the urge to cry no matter what, he hugged Qi An, buried his face in his arms, and covered his tears with his clothes.

Qi An frowned, raised his hand to comfort his back, and slowly tightened the arms around his waist.

At the end of the rain, only the eaves above the head were still falling into the water, and the sky and the earth were dark, only the shops that were still open were dutifully lit.

Gu Tong let go of Qi An, his eyes were so red, he took off the clothes from his body and put them in his hands, and left without looking back.

There are two major events at the end of September, one is the monthly exam and the other is the sports meeting.

The female squad leader is still in charge of registering for the sports meeting, but without the enthusiasm of the first year of high school, those who yell on the podium don't work very hard.Panyang Lu Chunze did his best to apply for all that he could, and the rest were still a few projects that required endurance and consumed a lot of energy.

When Qi An appeared in front of the female monitor, her shock wiped out all the texts she had just memorized from her memory.

After the monthly exam was over, Qi An was still sleeping soundly while commenting on the test papers.

Of course, even if he didn't sleep, the papers would not be handed out to him.

When school was over, he covered his face with four sheets of paper, densely filled with knowledge points, and wrote the correct answer with a red pen next to the wrong question.

Gu Tong only went to the playground on the morning of the first day of the sports meeting, and has been reading in class since then.

Xiao Bohan asked him to cheer, Gu Tong secretly waited at the finish line to cheer him on, risking being pointed at by his classmates and called "traitor".

The two parted ways after having a boring lunch in the cafeteria.

On the first day of the sports meeting, apart from the team relay, the individual events were basically over.

After taking a shower in the dormitory, Gu Tong walked to the classroom with her schoolbag on her back.

When he returned to the class, only the female squad leader and Yang Chong were there. Yang Chong was here to give the female squad leader a lecture, and Gu Tong was also going to get in the way, asking all the math questions that he knew well at once.

Before I got back to my seat, I saw three things on the table.

Awards, certificates and medals.

Qi An took No.1 in three personal projects.

Standing in front of the table, Gu Tong blinked vigorously, trying to squeeze back the tears, so as not to let the two people behind her find out.

He opened the schoolbag, put them away in the folder containing the test papers, and carefully stuffed them back into the schoolbag.

It took me a long time to huddle in my seat before I calmed down.

When Yang Chongfeng gave him a lecture, he didn't listen to a single word.

It's been almost a month, and the complicated mood of this month has made him a little tired.

He doesn't want to go on like this.

After the National Day, high school sophomores received an exciting news.

Outward bound training.

This activity is held every year in No. [-] Middle School, and it is also the last group activity in high school before entering the third year of high school.

In previous years, there were many outward bound training projects, some of which were too dangerous or too complicated were canceled this year, leaving only three popular and effective training projects: camping, high-altitude broken bridge and hiking.

The night before departure, Teacher Qi distributed tents to the third class of students.

Lu Chunze heaved a sigh of relief, at least it wasn't a small tent for two people like last year, and he still had to rack his brains to figure out how to squeeze the two people into one tent.

Early the next morning, the bus departed by class, and the seven buses left the campus one by one and slowly entered the urban area.

Gu Tong felt a little heavy all over, she couldn't sleep in bed yesterday, and now she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

Mimi stared forward and nodded his head several times before he felt someone grab his shoulders and let him lean on that person.

The location of the outward bound training is in the outskirts of the city, and the location is relatively remote. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the vehicle arrived.

The two projects of high-altitude broken bridge and hiking were arranged on the second day, so the students excitedly started to set up tents under the arrangement of the teacher.

Lu Chunze didn't let Gu Tong do it. He saw that Gu Tong was unwell, so he didn't dare to let Pan Yang do it, for fear that he would tear up the tent if he got agitated.After threading the two long steel poles with Qi An, insert/insert the top of each pole into the small hole on the corner of the tent, and then hold the two movable ends at the same time, and forcefully push them into the net of the pole. , so that the tent can bow up, it is basically completed.

"I thought it was very capable, but with the speed of you two, it's too slow." Pan Yang sat cross-legged on the ground and tore off the crispy horns that Lu Chunze bought, his five fingers were too busy.

Lu Chunze glanced at him: "It's not as fast as you, and your support is about to collapse."

"You can say whoever you want." Pan Yang pointed at him seriously with his index finger on a corner: "Just don't say my little brother."

Qi An smiled, and casually took out a cigarette, but Lu Chunze snatched it with his backhand.

"The grade leader is in our area, you have some quality." He put the cigarette back into the cigarette case and stuffed it back into Qi An's trouser pocket.

Qi An sighed helplessly, took out the lollipop that Qi Xin stuffed for him in his coat pocket before leaving, and swallowed it reluctantly.

After everyone finished their work, the sky was getting dark, and the cafeteria not far away was lit up.

The lights flickered on and off, and the light-transmitting windows were connected to the ground. Gu Tong had no appetite to eat, so he sat in the tent to help them "watch the house."

He stood up, looked around, and found the "High-altitude Broken Bridge" project that he was going to participate in tomorrow.Visually, two iron pillars more than seven meters high stand upright in the ground, with two unconnected long iron plates embedded in them, and what they have to do is very simple, that is, to jump from one iron plate to the other. iron plate.

This project aims to exercise the courage and courage of the students. A small step that seems easy will not be easy for most people.

The school does not have a rigid rule that every student must participate, it is all voluntary.

Gu Tong's throat moved slightly, and he looked up at the seven-meter-high pillar and the 1.2-meter span between the broken boards, silently cheering himself up in his heart.

With this step, he will enter Qi An's heart forever.
