Chapter 16 I like it
The classmates in the class often joke about whoever likes whoever, and Nan Shengsheng also occasionally pulls Li Mianmian to talk about other people's gossip.
But she never thought about whether she would like anyone.
I wouldn't even think of Gu Yanci.
To her, Gu Yanci was the white flower on the high mountain. He could only look up to it, not imagine it.
But she seemed to have a little bit of a very narrow mind without reason.
Not only did she not allow herself to imagine, she could not tolerate other people's imagination—whether it was guessing him and herself, or guessing him and others.
She gave Gu Yan in her heart, and was very domineering and refused to visit others.
Xu Tingmo's words shocked Li Mianmian, and even more angry and embarrassed.
She stood up suddenly, like a furry cat, staring at Xu Tingmo fiercely.
A few seconds later, Li Mianmian was slow to realize that there was someone next to him.
Turning his head and seeing Gu Yanci's expressionless face, it seemed as if a basin of cold water was pouring down from the top of his head, and the cold and numb feeling pierced her spine all the way to her heels.
Li Mianmian's ears immediately became hot without control.
When facing Xu Tingmo, she even wanted to scold him a few words, but when Gu Yan passed by, she subconsciously wanted to remain calm.
Pretend to not hear Xu Tingmo at all, or pretend that he didn't think of anything even if he heard it.
"Of course I like my brother." Li Mingmain pretended to have a very disgusting expression and looked at Xu Tingmo, "I don't like my brother, can you still like you? You are not my brother."
Then she turned to look at Gu Yanci and asked naturally: "Why did my brother come here so soon? Aren't you still talking on the radio just now?"
Gu Yanci observed her for a moment, and saw that she was in a normal mood, so he explained: "My brother's speech was recorded in advance. There were so many parents listening to it, and the radio station was worried about a mistake. He stayed there just because he had been chatting with the principal for a while, and I came back before the broadcast was over."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Tingmo coldly.
Xu Tingmo quickly stood up and took a few steps back, and said with a smirk: "What... Then you guys talk about it, I'm just fine... I have something to do... Cough, I'll leave first."
As soon as the words were finished, the person disappeared quickly at the corner.
Li Mianmian didn't care about him and said to Gu Yanci with a smile: "No wonder my brother left so early in the morning. It turned out that he was here to record the audio."
"Um."
Gu Yanci habitually rubbed her head, and then suddenly thought of something and put down his hand stiffly.
"How did you do this exam?" He and Li Mianmian slightly distanced themselves and asked like an old father, "Have you improved compared to last time?"
When talking about this, Li Mianmian was excited and insisted on pulling him to the first year of high school to see the commendation list. He also deliberately implied that Gu Xuanlang did worse than himself in the exam.
"It's so amazing." Gu Yanci was in a good mood and took her out of the school. "My brother just got the scholarship and invites you to have something delicious."
"I also have a scholarship, but Teacher Song said he would not get it next semester." Li Mianmian felt strange, "Why does my brother have it now?"
"Yeah." Gu Yanci smiled and said, "I have a big name and I have several scholarships. Today this is the principal's scholarship."
"Wow!"
Li Mianmian hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I want to eat Bozai cake!"
"Hmm?" Gu Yanci asked, "Didn't you always want to eat KFC?"
"I don't want to do it today." Li Mianmian said, "I just want to eat Bozai cake today."
Gu Yanci looked at her for a while: "Do you think your brother is poor?"
"No!" Li Mianmian waved his hand immediately, "I really want to eat Bozai cake!"
“…”
After a moment of silence, Gu Yanci nodded: "Okay, then you want to eat KFC another day, brother will invite you again."

After the parent-teacher meeting, except for the third year of junior high school and senior high school, all the other grades have started holidays.
However, the situation that Li Mianmian had previously imagined was not realized because Gu Yanci seemed to be busier during the winter vacation.
He always has endless lessons, endless questions, and endless work.
It was not until the Spring Festival that Gu Yanci finally got idle.
However, Li Mianmian had to go back to her grandparents' house with her parents during those days, and she was not sure when she would come back after the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, the Li family brothers and sisters were all in their hometowns. The huge round table was filled with rich dishes, and the surroundings were full of people, and the Spring Festival Gala was also displayed on the TV.
In addition to Li Yan, Li Mianmian also had several cousins and cousins. The children ran around, laughing and making noise, and didn't stop all night.
In such a bustle, Li Mianmian suddenly remembered Gu Yanci.
His father doesn't even go to the parent-teacher meeting and probably won't be together during the Chinese New Year.
So is he celebrating the New Year alone?
How deserted it must be...
Even before, Li Mianmian never celebrated the New Year alone.
Every New Year's Eve, the old lady's son and his family would go back.
Although they treat her badly, they still ask her to have dinner together during the Chinese New Year.
After this comparison, Li Mianmian felt that Gu Yanci was more miserable than himself, so after dinner, she secretly ran outside to call Gu Yanci.
The cell phone she bought before was useless when she was in school and she took it out until the winter vacation. Fortunately, she saved the landline number of Gu Yanci’s family as soon as possible.
However, after dialing, no one answered the other side. Li Mianmian called several times, but there was still no one.
She was worried and had been struggling for a long time, so she ran back to tell Lan Qingwan about this, and then she realized that Gu Yan was going to go back to her hometown when he was about to die in the Spring Festival.
But he did not go back to his grandparents' house, but to his grandmother's house.
Lan Qingwan said that Gu Yanci's grandparents and grandfather lived far away and took a day and one night to get there.
He goes back every year and will probably stay in his hometown until school starts.
This statement became true, and Gu Yanci did reply two days before school started.
However, he started school earlier than Li Mianmian. If she was staying at his house during the day, she would occasionally meet him when he returned home early.
But it's all in a hurry.
Every time he saw her at home, Gu Yanci would immediately go to the kitchen to squeeze juice for her. When she finished drinking, he would simply ask about today's homework and then urge her to go home to sleep.
Li Mianmian knew that staying there would only cause trouble for him, and then he only passed by when he was painting.
But every night, she would still lie on the bed and listen to the movements in the corridor.
Gu Yanci's footsteps were different from others.
He walked lightly and steadily, neither hurry nor slow, as if nothing had ever disturbed his pace.
As long as she closes her eyes, she can clearly describe what Gu Yanci looks like when he goes upstairs.
The dim light covered him, and his fluffy hair and thick eyelashes dropped shadows of varying depths on his face.
There is only his door in the entire building without couplets or words "Fu". Once the door lock is opened, there is a cold and lonely space inside.
When he was alone at home, there was almost no sound in that space.
Li Mianmian felt as if she was sick. Every time she heard him go upstairs at the same rhythm and then open the door and enter the house without hesitation, she would feel a little disappointed.
The rabbit that Gu Yanci gave her would sleep with her every day, and at this time she was also intimately staying in bed with her.
However, Gu Yanci seemed to be getting further and further away from her.
After all, she and Gu Yanci have only a few times spent together since the start of school.
But Gu Yanci never seemed to take the initiative to look for her.
Every time he looked for her, he had to look for her because he had something to do.
Why doesn’t he behave like himself, and he desires to be with him every day?
After repeated questions and thoughts, Li Mianmian even felt that his gentleness and tolerance towards himself in the past seemed to be another form of politeness and alienation.
He is kind to himself, perhaps because of his parents' affection, perhaps because he feels pitiful, or both.
But no matter what, it's not because of like.
……like.
Li Mianmian was shocked by his own thoughts.
——How could she have such an idea?!
The heat inside the house caused a thin layer of fog on the glass windows.
The winter night is dark and long, and the world is quiet and silent.
