It's the students' fault if they are too popular.

Bai Lu puffed up her cheeks: "You actually guessed it right... What about me?"

Gu Nian thought that Bai Lu and Dong Yang had a good relationship, so she should stand next to Dong Yang. But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find anyone who looked like Bai Lu, so she had to guess and pointed to a cute little girl:

"……this?"

"..." Bai Lu felt frustrated, "No."

Dong Yang laughed beside him: "She used to... forget it, I won't talk about it."

The more she tried to hide it, the more it became clear, arousing Gu Nian's curiosity: "What happened to Bai Lu before?"

Bai Lu rolled her eyes and said angrily: "A little fat."

"Then let me guess..."

"I won't show it to you anymore." Bai Lu cut off the photo. "Let's look at the graduation photo."

When we graduated from elementary school, we all looked almost the same as we do now.

Six years of development and growth are incredibly magical.

"Ah, this is you." Gu Nian pointed at the pretty girl next to Dong Yang and looked at Bai Lu, "Right?"

"Hehe." Bai Lu was a little proud.

Gu Nian looked at him carefully and said, "Dongyang doesn't seem to have changed much..."

"That's enough," Dong Yang said, "It's embarrassing to have my photos looked at all the time."

But they still kept going.

"Let me tell you, this boy is so annoying," Bai Lu pointed at one of them, "He always laughs at me and likes to take Dong Yang's things, snatching her homework, her water bottle, and her schoolbag..."

At that time, this boy took the lead in laughing at her for being fat, reciting "Flying snow all over the sky and shooting white dew" in a weird voice, and then led a group of boys to laugh.

"What then?"

"Dong Yang gave him a good lesson."

"Stop talking..." Dong Yang interrupted a little shyly.

"Let me imitate you," Bai Lu ignored him, giggled, straightened her body, looked righteous, and held a book in her arms, imitating Dong Yang's tone, "'I hate you, please don't harass me again. The way you laugh at girls is very uncultured.' She said this in front of everyone, and the boy was so embarrassed..."

"Stop talking!" Dong Yang covered his face with his hands and put the pillow over his head. "If you imitate me again, I will break up with you!"

However, after learning everything, Bai Lu stuck out her tongue and moved closer to tickle Dong Yang. The girl screamed and fought back. The two ticklish people fought against each other, and it was a heart-pounding game. Dong Yang kicked back and forth, and Bai Lu couldn't control herself. She laughed non-stop when her waist was tickled, so she called for help:

"Gu Nian, come and help!"

Dong Yang also shouted: "Help me!"

Gu Nian: “…” It’s a difficult choice.

Finally, Gu Nian moved closer, stretched out his hand, and held Dong Yang's hand forcefully.

Dong Yang: “?!”

Bai Lu: "Haha, you're dead!"

She pushed Dong Yang's pajamas up and scratched his waist frantically. Dong Yang couldn't move, he laughed until tears came out, and his waist twisted wildly.

"Don't, don't..."

"I was wrong...haha..."

Gu Nian swallowed and gently scratched Dong Yang's waist with one hand.

A minute later, the brutal torture ended.

Dong Yang huddled in the corner of the tatami, wrapped the quilt around his waist, and panted. Bai Lu whispered to comfort him, and Dong Yang said bitterly:

"Break off the relationship!"

Sometimes Xu Dongyang acts like an elementary school student, breaking up with friends at any time.

Gu Nian felt guilty because she was also an accomplice.

Xu Dongyang, who is usually so calm, indifferent and gentle in class... is like a dream that is close yet distant and hard to give up. But the current Xu Dongyang is completely different. He is approachable and touchable.

The tide in her heart, which had just receded, rose again.

nightfall.

The air conditioner was working quietly, the TV was still on, and Dong Yang had curled up and fallen asleep. Dong Yang was sleeping in the middle, Bai Lu yawned, handed the remote control to Gu Nian, and whispered:

"I'm sleepy too, remember to turn off the TV..."

Then he fell down.

Gu Nian sat on the tatami bed. With the light from the TV, she could count Xu Dongyang's eyelashes - those long and delicate eyelashes easily made people have this impulse. She looked at them for a long time. She had always paid attention to Xu Dongyang, but she never thought that one day she would sleep with her.

She was very grateful for Xu Dongyang's help, such as tearing off the paper behind her, giving her water when the water was cut off, and being her friend. She knew that these helps might not be important to Xu Dongyang, and she also knew that Xu Dongyang was not special to her.

But she became more and more curious about Xu Dongyang. The more curious she was, the more she wanted to know him, and the more she knew, the more she became immersed in him.

She wanted to be a friend as important as Bai Lu in Xu Dongyang's heart.

Extra: Winter Sun (VIII)

"morning."

"Morning."

It was early in the morning and there were not many people in the classroom. Gu Nian greeted Dong Yang and then recalled in his mind the little details he had just experienced.

Xu Dongyang...

She muttered to herself, sat down, opened her English book absentmindedly, and glanced in the direction of Dongyang. She saw Xu Dongyang greet Bai Lu, and saw a boy passing by helping Xu Dongyang get water... Wherever Xu Dongyang went, there was a colorful and youthful atmosphere.

That night…after they slept together, did they become closer?

The relationship between two people is determined by only one person.

She didn't want their relationship to cool.

There was still time before the morning reading began. Gu Nian looked around the table for a long time, found a few difficult questions, and walked slowly to Dong Yang's table with a worried look on his face:

"have time?"

Dongyang was drinking water. He put down the cup and tilted his head to look at the question:

"Yes, there is. This question?"

"Ah."

So close.

Gu Nian's body was a little stiff. He looked at the whorls on Dong Yang's head, then retracted his gaze and tried his best to focus on the question.

“It seems difficult.”

After calculating for a while, Dong Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "I have written down the conditions. I will contact you when I have finished the work."

"Well," Gu Nian said quietly, "Actually, there's no need...it's just an extracurricular question anyway."

"Well, I'll give it a try."

Morning reading.

Bai Lu was drowsy. She was very sleepy every morning. She wanted to yawn, shake her legs, pick up a book, close her eyes and compete with the teacher in wits and courage. Every day was very exciting.

Then she saw Gu Nian climbing the wall of her house.

Oh, it’s not hers yet.

Bai Lu sobered up instantly, her fighting spirit high. She was wary of both men and women, and was even more vigilant towards girls. She had long felt that something was wrong with Gu Nian, and would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.

Although she couldn't really kill anyone...

After class, Bai Lu tapped Dong Yang's left shoulder from behind. When Dong Yang turned around, she moved to the right and tapped him. Dong Yang quickly realized that he was being teased, so he turned around and rolled his eyes at Bai Lu:

"what."

Bai Lu thought to herself, of course it's to attract your attention, but on the surface she just smiled foolishly:

"Let's go out and play."

Dong Yang glanced at the corridor:

"anything fun?"

Bai Lu thought about it:

"Like...chatting with me?"

Dong Yang laughed: "I'd better solve this problem first."

Bai Lu was speechless and slumped down on her seat in anger.

Gu Nian over there seemed to have made it or something, and was discussing it with Dong Yang.

Bai Lu sighed and silently opened her reference book.

If she just lives like this and doesn't enrich herself, why would Dong Yang like her?

Based on childhood sweethearts?

Childhood sweethearts... isn't that enough?

She felt that her position was no longer secure and was very sad. She also felt that her grades were not that good and she and Dongyang no longer had common topics to talk about in terms of study.

Who doesn’t want to be a top student?

Bai Lu held her face in frustration and scribbled on the notebook with a pencil. Suddenly, a voice said to her:

"Hey."

She looked up in surprise and saw Dong Yang's smiling face.

Bai Lu: “Done?”

Dong Yang: "Yes, I have made it. I am here to talk to you."

Bai Lu thought about it and felt troubled again: "It seems like there is nothing to say..."

They don't chase stars, and unlike other girls in the class who would get together to look at celebrity magazines and photos, when they are together, they usually talk about whatever comes to mind.

Dong Yang suggested: "Will you come to my house next week? I feel lonely at home alone."

Bai Lu's face lit up with joy, but soon dimmed: "Not next week... I have to accompany my mother."

Dong Yang saw that she was unhappy, so he asked:

"what happened?"

The two of them talked about everything, and Bai Lu didn't hide anything: "My parents had a fight... I felt it was the worst fight they've ever had. My mom even asked me who I would be with if I got divorced. It was so annoying."

Dongyang stopped talking, just held Bailu's hand and listened quietly.

"But if I go back, they will probably be more restrained," Bai Lu lay on the table, tilting her head to look at Dong Yang, "If they quarrel, I will cry, and maybe they will stop, hehe."

After Bai Lu finished laughing, she fell silent.

"Look at you, you scared the child!"

"Can you blame me for this? You were the one who said it first!"

"What's wrong with me saying it first?! Shouldn't I have said it? Lulu, don't cry, come to your mother... Don't be like your mother in the future, and go find someone like your father..."

bother.

Bai Lu clenched her fists, unable to imagine how her parents, who now blamed and cursed each other, had once loved each other.

"Tell me, how did you get married when there was such a quarrel?" She asked Dong Yang, "Did you get carried away?"

Dong Yang shook his head: "I don't know."

As far as she could remember, her aunt and Ruan Qian had never quarreled.

Bai Lu whispered, "If I get married, I will definitely not quarrel on my own initiative... at least not in front of the children."

For a moment, neither of them was speechless.

It was almost time for class. Dong Yang was still holding Bai Lu's hand and suggested again:

"Or, come live at my house."
