old city newcomer

Chapter 31

Gu Tong spent the remaining three days of New Year's Day at home.

He had a very fulfilling life.

He needs to prepare a lot of materials, and he has to wait for the materials from his father to be sent together. After summarizing, he has to go to many places like notary offices with Gu Yan. He has been busy several times, and the time will pass quickly.

Every night when Gu Tong lay in bed, he would stare at the stars on the ceiling and think about many things, most of which were related to Qi An.

When he was thinking, he would analyze what he did not do well, what caused him trouble, and whether he was even under pressure invisibly. After thinking about it, Gu Tong held a review meeting for himself.

"You're too clingy, Gu Tong." Gu Tong hugged the giraffe pillow and said, pointing to the pillow and saying, "The female squad leader will look down on you."

The giraffe smiled at him.

"Learn from Pan Shuai." He pointed to the dwarf's piggy bank on the desk, and the dwarf also had a bright smile on his face: "If you chase girls openly, why don't you be handsome."

Maybe that's what you think.

Gu Tong lay down on the bed and continued to stare at the stars. Maybe it was because he had never liked someone too much or was too obsessed with doing a good thing since he was a child. "It's all good", because he has no worries, and he doesn't need to think about others, and now, he feels that he often doesn't think about things from Qi An's point of view.

He thought about it seriously. The man in the padded jacket he saw on the snack street should be his second uncle, that's why Qi An lost control.

His mind was filled with Qi An and what he wanted to do, Gu Tong became sleepy after a while.

"Ding".

The phone rang.

Gu Tong opened WeChat and saw a message that had just been sent.

- did you sleep.

It's Xiao Bohan.

His first Chinese friend, an exchange student who once boarded at his American home.

The person in the first photo in Moments.

- Rare customers.

Gu Tong replied.

- Chinese is very advanced.

-That is.

-did you miss me?

-No.

After Gu Tong finished posting, he smiled, he felt that he had become a bit bad now.

After waiting for a while, but seeing no reply from Xiao Bohan, he sent another one.

-I thought about it, but I didn't think about it every day.

Xiao Bohan still didn't reply, just when Gu Tong was about to fall asleep holding the phone, the phone rang again.

"Hey." Gu Tong sighed.

-Who is Qi An?

This question was very straightforward, Gu Tong thought about it, he and Xiao Bohan actually talked about everything, so there was no need to hide anything from him.

-the person I like.

Xiao Bohan replied quickly this time.

-Show me next time.

see youI don't want you to see me.

Gu Tong looked at this sentence and didn't reply. He didn't want others to see Qi An, and Qi An wouldn't like others pointing and judging him deliberately. He just thought about it, and when he interrupted, he was too sleepy to take advantage of it. I didn't even know that the phone hit my face, and I fell asleep directly.

Early the next morning, Gu Tong was sitting at the dining table rubbing his eyes, and Meng Ya kissed his forehead: "Good morning, baby."

"Good morning, sister-in-law Meng Ya." Gu Tong yawned and looked at the breakfast made by his aunt, and suddenly lost his appetite.

Actually lose my appetite.

Because I want to eat rice.

Yangzhou fried rice, rice bowl, lotus leaf rice, in short, it is something related to rice.

"Auntie, can you cook rice bowls?" Gu Tong asked.

Sitting on the sofa, Gu Yan put down the newspaper and looked at him with a surprised expression: "Do you want to eat rice?"

"Yeah." Gu Tong closed her eyes and nodded.

"Blimey!" Gu Yan exclaimed, "I still can't get used to Chinese food."

"It's probably because I ate too much at school." Gu Tong used a fork to pick up a piece of cheese potato and put it in his mouth. He felt that it was not tasty enough, so he took another piece and dipped it in ketchup. It was still a bit bland, and took it from the stove again. jar of salt.

"Your taste has changed a lot." Meng Ya put on her earrings in front of the mirror, tidied up her little fragrant jacket, changed into her high-heeled shoes and said to Gu Tong, "I'll make you a rice bowl when you come back at night, you can order whatever you want."

"I want another bottle of olives." Gu Tong nodded.

Gu Yan crossed his arms and felt that his younger brother was incredible.

After the end of New Year's Day, there will be the final exam. This year's Spring Festival will be at the end of January, so there will only be two or three weeks of review time.

Gu Tong hummed happily and flipped through the second volume of "5000 Years of China". Pan Yang scratched his head for a while, scratched his chin for a while, and finally slammed his forehead on the table.

"The wind is blowing and the water is cold..." Pan Yang muttered as if he was dying, "I will never return this strong man once he is gone."

"Are you still a strong man?" The female monitor slapped his homework on his face, and Pan Yang sat up and pointed at her.

"I will not kill in front of Xiao Meitong." Pan Yang said.

The female squad leader glanced at him, put the unfinished homework on his desk, turned to Gu Tong and said, "Ms. Qi told you to go to the office."

Gu Tong was taken aback, and pointed at herself: "Call me?"

The female squad leader covered her mouth and whispered to him: "It might be about Qi An."

When Gu Tong heard Qi An's name, she couldn't help but glanced at his seat, but Qi An still fell into a deep sleep and could not be shaken.

He and Qi An don't talk much these days, they just do everything together, the two of them do their own thing, Gu Tong feels that as long as he stays by Qi An's side, he can calm down.

Qi An's heart was already in turmoil, so he shouldn't add to the turmoil.

Gu Tong couldn't figure out what Teacher Qi asked him to ask Qi An, and when he was walking in the corridor with his head bowed, he saw Jiang Ming, and hurried to make way for him.

He turned around and saw Jiang Ming standing at the door of their class, and Qi An followed him out after a while.

Gu Tong knocked on the door and walked into the office.

"Teacher, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Teacher Qi put down the big porcelain jar in his hand, and the tea in it was red dates and wolfberry tea, which was similar to that in Pan Yang's cup.

Gu Tong nodded, he was inexplicably nervous.

Teacher Qi poured him a glass of water, and Gu Tong felt much better after drinking the water: "Qi An's grades are not very good, you are close to him, can you let him at least work hard and pass the final exam?"

"He doesn't necessarily, doesn't necessarily listen to me." Gu Tong looked at the side of the cup and said.

"It's okay, he doesn't get along with other people. I also talked to Lu Chunze about it. Between classmates, we should help each other." Teacher Qi put the two report cards in front of Gu Tong.

One is the class ranking of Qi An's final exam in the last semester of the third year of junior high school, and the other is the class ranking of the mid-term exam of the first semester of senior high school. .

There is actually someone with a lower score than Qi An who turned in a blank paper.

Gu Tong felt that he might have missed the point.

"You all live in the same dormitory, so it's more convenient to talk together." Teacher Qi smiled at him, and Gu Tong put away the two pieces of paper in front of him.

When walking out of the office, Gu Tong sighed.

He had just made up his mind not to cause trouble to Qi An, and now he was "requested" by the female squad leader or the head teacher, Gu Tong only felt that one head was two big, and he turned and walked towards the toilet.

When the curtain was lifted, there was a cloud and mist, Qi An and Jiang Ming were leaning against the window and the wall, facing each other with cigarettes in their mouths.

Qi An glanced at Gu Tong, Gu Tong took two steps back, and then ran out with the curtain lifted.

After the self-study, Gu Tong saw that Lu Chunze was not there, ran to his seat and sat down, then turned to look at Qi An.

Qi An was drawing a sketch of a pendant, and when he saw Gu Tong, he put away the paper.

"Did I bother you?" Gu Tong asked a little embarrassed.

"No." Qi An put the cap on his pen.

"Ms. Qi is looking for me..." Gu Tong didn't know what to say after saying this, rubbing her hands in a daze.

"Lu Chunze told me." Qi An leaned back and stretched: "I don't have much interest in studying."

"Will you be with me?" Gu Tong looked up at him and whispered.

Qi An didn't speak.

"As long as you pass." Gu Tong continued: "I may fail Chinese, let's work hard together."

Qi An didn't respond, he tidied up the table and signaled Gu Tong to go back to the dormitory.

Gu Tong put his "dictionary" into the schoolbag, thought for a while, and put the Chinese books in it.

There was no one in the dormitory, and Lu Chunze and Pan Yang hadn't come back yet.

Qi An took off his coat and drank a cigarette, sat at the table and opened the Chinese textbook.

Gu Tong was a little surprised, so she hurriedly sat across from him, took out the Chinese book from her schoolbag, and turned to the page of the classical Chinese text that was to be recited.

He heard Qi An reciting the text silently. After listening for a while, the corner of his mouth raised, and he began to review seriously.

A hand reached out from under the table and touched Gu Tong's leg. Gu Tong hurriedly stretched out his hand, grabbed Qi An together, and quietly endorsed the book.

Efficiency has improved a lot.

The examination room is divided according to the grade ranking in the previous monthly examination. Gu Tong is still in class three, and Qi An is in class six.

There were a total of three days of the exam, and after each exam, Gu Tong would run to the door of class six, wait for Qi An to come out, and ask him how he was doing in the exam.

After three days, the exhausting exam was finally over, and Pan Yang almost tore up his Chinese textbook.

It's like a college entrance examination is over.

The results came out the next day, and Gu Tong anxiously ran to the office to inquire about Qi An's results.

All pass.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

What I didn't expect was that my Chinese also passed, and my English was still the first in the class, and my total score jumped to the top ten.

Looking at this report card, he felt that he could have a good year this year.

"Are you going to Qi An's place for Chinese New Year today?" Pan Yangguang raised his arms and looked at Lu Chunze who was busy packing his luggage.

"Yeah." Lu Chunze folded the clothes and stuffed them into the box: "What? Want to come too?"

"No, can't you?" Pan Yang looked at Qi An: "Master An, I want to go too."

Qi An didn't speak.

"Stable." Pan Yang gave Lu Chunze an OK gesture.

Gu Tong couldn't help but get excited when he thought of the four of them celebrating the New Year together.

When the door was closed, Gu Tong stood at the door of the dormitory and watched for a long time.

One semester is over.This semester he has gained too many unexpected things.

and unexpected people.

The dormitory building was almost empty. Gu Tong looked at the empty corridor, pulled out the trolley of the suitcase, and walked towards the stairs with it.

Rounding the corner and waiting for him against the wall was Qi An.

"Not going home yet?" Gu Tong jumped up in front of him and looked at him with a smile.

"Wait for you to go downstairs together." Qi An squeezed out the cigarette butt, pulled Gu Tong's suitcase, and walked downstairs with both hands up.

Gu Tong looked at Qi An's back, his broad shoulders, and the checkered scarf around his neck, and his heart felt hot.
