Chapter 16: Close to home

    The high school entrance examination is coming soon in mid-June. With the help of Gu Yuwei and Qin Qing, Qin Anan has completely improved her English. Gu Yuwei’s grades have skyrocketed since the third grade of junior high school, so Qin Qing doesn’t need to worry.There is not much difference in their scores. If nothing else, they are expected to pass into a high school or even a city.

    At least that’s what Qin Qing and Qin Anan think. Qin Anan is naturally happy to be in the same high school as Gu Yuwei.On the day when the results came out, Qin Anan made an appointment with Gu Yuwei early and arrived at Qin Qing’s house as soon as possible.

    It’s already summer vacation. In the living room, Qin An’an shook her legs excitedly and talked about her longing for the city, “Sister-in-law, I went there on November last year, and Binhai City No. 1 Middle School is different… My parents are very happy to be able to pass the exam, and they kept saying thank you to my sister-in-law.”

    Qin Qing was sitting aside peeling apples. When the doorbell rang, Qin Anan stopped talking and jumped down from the sofa. “Yuwei must be here. I’ll open the door.”

    After Gu Yuwei entered the door, she still greeted Qin Qing politely, “Teacher Qin.” Qin Qing nodded and smiled and asked her to sit down.Qin An’an asked about Gu Yuwei’s score. Qin Qing also looked at Gu Yuwei after hearing this. Gu Yuwei said, “I’m quite satisfied with the score of the first middle school. I didn’t expect to get into the first middle school.”

    No. 1 Middle School, naturally Linqi County No. 1 Middle School.

    As soon as these words came out, Qin An’an was stunned. The apple skin in Qin Qing’s hand was also cut off directly. Qin Qing frowned and looked at Gu Yuwei. She had watched Gu Yuwei’s results this year, and she would not fall out of the city’s score line no matter what.It was beyond her expectation that Qin An’an could pass the entrance examination to the public examination. What she didn’t expect was that it was Gu Yuwei.

    Qin Anan naturally had the same idea, shaking Gu Yuwei’s arm and said eagerly, “Yuwei, are you kidding me? We agreed to go to the city together.”

    Gu Yuwei smiled and shook her head, “I’m sorry An’an, it seems I can’t go to the city.” Gu Yuwei cast an apologetic look at Qin Anan.Qin Anan froze on the spot for an instant, and Gu Yuwei continued, “Anan, you should study hard in the city. We will keep in touch.”

    Qin Anan raised his head and smiled bitterly, but finally said nothing.

    When leaving Qin Qing’s house, Gu Yuwei paused and turned to Qin Qing. She lowered her head and twirled her fingers, looking worried, “Teacher Qin, are you disappointed in me?” Gu Yuwei did not dare to look into Qin Qing’s eyes. Only she knew how much she wanted to stay with the person in front of her.

    Qin Qing looked at the tangled girl, her eyebrows softened a little, and she took Gu Yuwei’s arms and looked at her. At some point, the girl no longer needed to squat down and look at her, “What is Xiaowei thinking about? County No. 1 Middle School is not worse than the city.” Qin Qing changed the subject and joked, “No. 1 Middle School is pretty good, and it is closer to home than the city. If Xiaowei thinks of me, she can still come and see me. Isn’t it a lot less travel than the city?”

    This was said casually to make Gu Yuwei feel at ease. After hearing this, Gu Yuwei raised her eyes and said, “Teacher Qin, I will never forget you.” Forever.Gu Yuwei pursed her lips, with a slight blush on her face, “I will come to see Teacher Qin during the holidays.”

    Qin Qing was slightly stunned when she heard the sound, then she smiled and reached out to touch Gu Yuwei’s head.

    On the day of admission, Gu Yuwei came to the school gate with the support of Qin Qing and Gu Jiang. Gu Yuwei was admitted to No. 1 Middle School with excellent results, and Gu Jiang and his wife were naturally bright.After bidding farewell to the three of them, Gu Yuwei turned around and stepped inside.Gu Yuwei looked at everything in No. 1 Middle School. This was Qin Qing’s former school, and now it is also hers. In this way, is she getting closer to Qin Qing?

    The school gate was full of cars coming to see off new students’ parents. Gu Yuwei accidentally glanced back, but she froze in place.Although the woman’s face bears the traces of time, it is deeply imprinted in Gu Yuwei’s mind.The woman opened the rear door and a girl walked out. She had a pair of glasses on her nose. She had a quiet appearance and was about the same age as Gu Yuwei.She looks like the “good girl” her parents call her.

    The woman tidied the schoolbag behind the girl. She didn’t know what she said to the girl. The girl nodded and said goodbye to the woman. The woman looked at the girl with eyes full of maternal love and tenderness.Gu Yuwei looked at the woman and clenched her hand holding the schoolbag tightly.The woman noticed the gaze and subconsciously turned around, but Gu Yuwei was no longer there.The woman turned around and got into the car nonchalantly.

    According to her grades, Gu Yuwei was assigned to class (3). When Gu Yuwei walked in, there were not many people. Gu Yuwei looked around and her eyes fell on the girl. The girl was sitting alone in the corner. She seemed to be withdrawn.Gu Yuwei walked naturally to the girl’s table. The girl felt the pause of the visitor and thought that Gu Yuwei was going to sit at the table next to her, but she didn’t pay much attention. Her eyes were still looking out the window quietly, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

    Gu Yuwei finally moved away and landed on the table behind the girl.There are gradually more people in the classroom, and those who know each other and those who do not know each other are saying hello to each other.

    Living on campus in high school also saved Gu Yuwei a lot of her emotions when facing Sun Songxin.Time flies, and half of the week has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, there has been rumors about someone in the class, and that protagonist is Gu Yuwei.During lunch time, there were three or five boys sitting around in the class. The boys kept whispering to each other and looked in Gu Yuwei’s direction from time to time. Besides Gu Yuwei, there was also the girl in the classroom. After that, Gu Yuwei found out that the girl’s name was Meng Yuanshuang.

    A boy walked next to Gu Yuwei. The boy was shy and sat on the seat across from Gu Yuwei. “Aren’t you going to eat?” Gu Yuwei could hear the noise in the class these days. She smiled at the boy and said, “I’m not hungry.” The boy was speechless and didn’t know what to say.

    Meng Yuanshuang’s expression did not change, and she quietly wrote the counseling materials in her hands.

    Soon another boy came over, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand and placing it on Gu Yuwei’s table. The boy smiled and showed two fangs, “Please drink.” Gu Yuwei glanced at the milk tea, then looked at the boy, and finally shook her head.The boy left the milk tea and returned to his seat. Gu Yuwei was speechless, so she had to take the milk tea and walk to the boy’s table and put it down.

    When I returned to my seat, there were three or five more boys gathered around the boy sitting across the aisle. One arrogant boy put his arm around the other’s shoulders and jokingly asked Gu Yuwei a topic.

    “Gu Yuwei, what kind of person do you like?” As soon as the boy said this, the boy sitting across the aisle and the boy delivering milk tea both looked at Gu Yuwei waiting.Gu Yuwei smiled and fell silent. Just when they thought Gu Yuwei would not answer, Gu Yuwei suddenly said, “Woman.”

    The boys all looked at Gu Yuwei in an instant. Meng Yuanshuang, who was at the table, paused inadvertently when she heard this sentence, but she quickly returned to her seriousness in doing the questions.

    The arrogant boy yelled, thinking that Gu Yuwei wanted to reject his brother and said, “Hahaha, what kind of woman do you like? Um, a girl?” The boy next door turned blue and white, and turned to glare at the arrogant boy.

    Gu Yuwei didn’t speak any more, but her eyes darkened, and she quickly focused on the girl at the table.The naughty boy noticed Gu Yuwei’s expression and opened his mouth, “You, you can’t tell the truth!” The naughty boy looked at Gu Yuwei and then at Meng Yuanshuang, his face looked like he had seen a ghost.

    Meng Yuanshuang noticed everyone’s eyes, especially those behind her. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, she stood up, closed the tutoring materials and left the classroom.

    Gu Yuwei stared at Meng Yuanshuang’s back and smiled secretly. When she fell into the eyes of all the boys, her mood changed instantly.

    After that, Gu Yuwei talked to Meng Yuanshuang intentionally or unintentionally, but Meng Yuanshuang was unexpectedly not disgusted.Days passed day by day, and a month later, Meng Yuanshuang and Gu Yuwei had a relationship where they talked about everything.But what Gu Yuwei said at noon that day was like a layer of window paper that had not been pierced.

    On Saturday, Gu Yuwei and Meng Yuanshuang walked to the school gate side by side. Gu Yuwei smiled and said, “Your parents are so kind to you. They come to pick you up every week. I’m jealous~”

    Meng Yuanshuang pursed her lips when she heard this and raised her eyes to look at Gu Yuwei, “Do you want… to come with me? My mother can take you back.”

    “Hahahaha Shuangshuang, you are so good to me, what if I get attached to you and can’t get rid of you?” Gu Yuwei smiled and hugged Meng Yuanshuang.Meng Yuanshuang’s ears turned completely red and she blurted out in a low voice, “Then just wait.”

    “Ah, Shuangshuang, what are you talking about?” Gu Yuwei let go of Meng Yuanshuang and looked at her with an inquiring look on her face. Meng Yuanshuang turned her head to the side, “Nothing, I asked you if you want to… ride in the car with me.”

    Gu Yuwei’s eyes darkened, then she suddenly changed, “No, no, I’m used to taking the bus.”

    The disappointment in Meng Yuanshuang’s eyes flashed, “Okay.”

    After bidding farewell to Meng Yuanshuang, Gu Yuwei walked alone on the way to the bus stop. The corners of her lips that were originally smiling suddenly tightened the moment she turned around, and her eyes became completely cold.

    When she returned to Sun’s house, there was no one at home. Gu Yuwei put the change of clothes into the washing machine and came out and faced Sun Songxin who opened the door and walked in. Sun Songxin was stunned. There had never been a time like this with only the two of them since that time.Sun Songxin grinned at Gu Yuwei and asked, “Xiaowei, you are back.”

    Gu Yuwei looked at Sun Songxin with disgust in her eyes, and it took a long time before she said “hmm”.Sun Songxin looked at Gu Yuwei’s back when she went out, and her heart still stirred. After high school, Gu Yuwei not only grew taller, but also developed.Sun Songxin withdrew his eyes and turned back to the room with full anger.

    In the empty Sun’s house, the sound of Sun Songxin’s breathing echoed for a long time.

    Gu Yuwei went to Qin Qing’s house. When she opened the door, it was not Qin Qing. Gu Yuwei looked at the sunny man in front of her and felt very uncomfortable, but she shouted calmly, “Officer Bai.”

    “Is it Xiaowei?” Qin Qing’s voice came from inside. Gu Yuwei responded and walked in. Bai Yang looked at Gu Yuwei’s back and frowned for a long time before letting go.Qin Qing was renovating the room. After Qin Anan was admitted to the public and secondary schools, their family moved to Binhai City. The room where Qin Anan had lived and Gu Yuwei had temporarily lived in was no longer needed. Qin Qing thought it would be a good idea to turn this room into a study.
