Chapter 16 I like it

The classmates in the class often joke about who likes who, and Nan Shengsheng also pulls Li Mianmian to gossip about others from time to time.

But she never thought about whether she would like someone.

Not to mention Gu Yanci.

To her, Gu Yanci was like that white flower on the high mountain. She could only look up to it, but not speculate on it.

But she seems to have a very narrow-minded mind that is unreasonable.

Not only did she not allow herself to speculate, she also couldn't bear other people's assumptions - whether it was guessing about him and herself, or guessing about him and others.

In her heart, she resigned to worship Gu Yan, and she was very domineering and did not allow others to visit.

Xu Tingmo's words made Li Mianmian shocked, but also angry and embarrassed.

She stood up suddenly, like a cat with explosive fur, and glared at Xu Tingmo fiercely.

After a few seconds, Li Mianmian slowly realized that there was someone next to him.

Turning her head and seeing Gu Yanci's expressionless face, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured from her head, and a cold and numb feeling pierced her spine all the way to her heels.

Li Mianmian's ears immediately started to burn uncontrollably.

When facing Xu Tingmo, she even wanted to scold him, but when Gu Yanci came, she subconsciously wanted to stay calm.

Pretend that you didn't hear Xu Tingmo's words at all, or pretend that even if you heard them, you didn't think of anything.

"Of course I like my brother." Li Mianmain pretended to look disgusted and looked at Xu Tingmo, "I don't like my brother, is it possible that I still like you? You are not my brother."

Then she turned to look at Gu Yanci and asked very naturally: "Brother, why are you here so quickly? Weren't you just speaking on the radio?"

Gu Yanci observed her for a moment and saw that she was indeed in a normal mood before explaining: "My brother's speech was recorded in advance. So many parents listened to it, and the radio station was worried that something would go wrong. I only stayed there because I chatted with the principal for a while, and...

I'll be back before the broadcast is over."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Tingmo coolly.

Xu Tingmo quickly stood up and took a few steps back, and said with a sneer: "What...then you guys talk, I am my wife...I have something else to do...cough, I'm leaving first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person quickly disappeared around the corner.

Li Mianmian didn't pay attention to him, and smiled and said to Gu Yanci, "No wonder my brother left so early in the morning. He came to school to record."

"Um."

Gu Yanci rubbed her head out of habit, then suddenly thought of something and put down his hand stiffly.

"How did you do in the exam this time?" He and Li Mianmian distanced themselves slightly and asked like an old father, "Did you make any progress compared to last time?"

Li Mianmian got excited when talking about this and insisted on dragging him to the first year of high school to see the commendation list. She also very deliberately hinted that Gu Xuanlang did worse than herself.

"That's amazing." Gu Yanci was in a good mood and took her outside the school, "Brother just got a scholarship and I'll treat you to something delicious."

"I also have a scholarship, but Teacher Song said I won't get it until next semester." Li Mianmian felt strange, "Why does my brother have it now?"

"Yeah." Gu Yanci smiled and said, "I have a relatively strong reputation and have several scholarships. Today's scholarship is the principal's scholarship."

"Wow!"

Li Mianmian hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I want to eat Bobo Cake!"

"Huh?" Gu Yanci asked, "Don't you always want to eat KFC?"

"I don't want to eat it today," Li Mianmian said, "I just want to eat bowl cake today."

Gu Yanci looked at her for a while: "Do you think your brother is poor?"

"No!" Li Mianmian waved her hand immediately, "I really want to eat the bowl cake!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Gu Yanci nodded: "Okay, if you want to eat KFC another day, my brother will treat you again."

After the parent-teacher meeting, except for the junior high school students and senior high school students who had to make up classes, the rest of the school began to have holidays.

However, the situation that Li Mianmian envisioned did not come true because Gu Yanci seemed to be even busier during the winter vacation.

He always has endless classes to make up, endless problems to solve, and endless work to do.

It wasn't until the days before the Spring Festival that Gu Yanci finally had some free time.

However, during those few days, Li Mianmian had to go back to her grandparents' house with her parents, and she was not sure when she would come back after the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, all the brothers and sisters of the Li family were in their hometown. The large round table was filled with rich dishes, and there were noisy people around. The Spring Festival Gala was also playing on the TV.

In addition to Li Yan, his biological brother, Li Mianmian also had several cousins. The children were running around, laughing and making trouble, and they didn't stop all night.

In such excitement, Li Mianmian suddenly thought of Gu Yanci.

His father doesn't even go to parent-teacher meetings, and they 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 had never spent the New Year alone.

Every New Year's Eve, the old lady's son and his family would go back.

Although they usually treat her poorly, they still let her come to the table to eat together during the Chinese New Year.

With such a comparison, Li Mianmian felt more and more that Gu Yanci was worse off than herself, so after eating, she secretly ran outside to call Gu Yanci.

She didn't use the mobile phone her parents bought before when she went to school, and didn't take it out until winter vacation. Fortunately, she saved Gu Yanci's home phone number right away.

However, no one answered the call after calling her. Li Mianmian called several times, but still no one answered.

She was worried and struggled for a long time, but she ran back and told Lan Qingwan about it, only to find out that Gu Yan was going back to her hometown during the Spring Festival.

But he didn’t go back to his grandparents’ house, but to his grandma and grandpa’s house.

Lan Qingwan said that Gu Yanci's grandparents lived far away and it would take a day and a night to get there by train.

He rarely goes back once a year and will probably stay in his hometown until school starts.

This became true, and Gu Yanci did not return until two days before school started.

However, he started school earlier than Li Mianmian. If she stayed at his house during the day, she could occasionally see him when he came 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. After she finished drinking it, he would briefly ask her about today's homework and then urge her to go home and sleep.

Li Mianmian knew that staying there would only cause trouble for him, so he only went there when he was painting.

But every night, she would still lie on the bed and listen intently to the sounds in the corridor.

Gu Yanci's footsteps were different from others.

He walked lightly and steadily, neither hurriedly nor slowly, as if nothing ever disrupted his pace.

As long as she closed her eyes, she could clearly picture Gu Yanci's appearance when he went upstairs.

The dim light shone on him, and his fluffy hair and thick eyelashes cast shadows of varying depths on his face.

The door of his house was the only one in the whole building that did not have couplets or the character "福" on it. Once the door was locked, it was a cold and lonely space inside.

When he was at home alone, there was almost no sound in that space.

Li Mianmian felt as if she was sick. Every time she heard him go upstairs in 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 it was also staying in bed with her intimately.

However, Gu Yanci seemed to be getting further and further away from her.

Doing the math, she actually spent very little time with Gu Yanci since the start of school.

But Gu Yanci never seemed to take the initiative to look for her.

Every time he looked for her, it was because he had to look for her because of something.

Why wouldn't he be like me and long to be with him every day?

During repeated questions and thoughts, Li Mianmian even felt that the tenderness and tolerance he used to treat her seemed to be another form of politeness and alienation.

He treats himself well, perhaps because of his parents' favor, perhaps because he feels sorry for himself, or perhaps both.

But anyway, it's not because I like it.

……like.

Li Mianmian was shocked by his idea.

——How could she have such an idea?!

The heat inside the house caused a thin layer of fog to form on the glass windows.
