Very brave

Of course, Li Mianmian didn't dare to answer, so she just ran with her head down and didn't stop until he pulled him to the shade of a tree in the corner.

"Take off the jacket underneath." Gu Yanci frowned and looked at her, "It's so wet, don't catch a cold."

Li Mianmian obediently took off her coat and held Gu Yanci's coat in her arms.

"give it to me."

Gu Yanci put her wet coat on her arm, lowered her head and turned over it: "Who did this?"

Li Mianmian shook his head: "I don't know."

"I don't know?" Gu Yanci glanced at her and asked, "What did you write?"

The writing on the coat had been washed out and he could only vaguely make out what seemed to be a few English letters.

"..."

When she thought that this kind of thing would be known to Gu Yanci, Li Mianmian was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head: "No, I didn't write anything..."

"What do you mean you didn't write anything?" Gu Yanci flicked her forehead, "How come you and your brother have become estranged after we haven't seen each other for a few days? Now you don't want to talk to your brother about anything, right?"

"no……"

Li Mianmian really didn't know how to explain it to him, so she grabbed the school uniform and turned around to run away: "Leave me alone."

Gu Yanci grabbed her: "Li Mianmian."

Li Mianmian paused and froze on the spot.

He had never called her name in such a serious tone in front of her.

"Tell your brother carefully." Gu Yanci said patiently, "Are you being bullied by your classmates?"

"...No." Li Mianmian bit her lower lip and said truthfully, "I really don't know who did this."

Gu Yanci looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze for a moment, and finally let go: "Okay. If you encounter anything in the future, you must come and tell your brother. If you have anything on your mind, you can also come to your brother, you know?"

Li Mianmian: "..."

She actually didn't have much on her mind.

She couldn't bear it and wanted to really tell him, but she couldn't.

The cool morning breeze flowed in through the hem and collar of his coat, blowing the thin T-shirt on Gu Yanci's body.

Li Mianmian nodded hastily, stuffed Gu Yanci's clean coat back to him, and urged: "Brother, put it on quickly."

Gu Yanci didn't answer: "I'll give you this one. There's another one in my brother's classroom."

"……ah?"

"Just in case I'm not prepared, I went to get a new set before." Gu Yanci explained with a smile, "Anyway, brother gets school uniforms for free, what if we all need them one day?"

Li Mianmian: "..."

These words were clearly alluding to what happened on the day she first came to visit her aunt.

She knew that Gu Yanci himself didn't need so many school uniforms, because he rarely appeared in occasions where he had to wear school uniforms.

So, he went to get the school uniform just for her.

Li Mianmian's heartbeat gradually accelerated.

He was always like this, using a very calm tone and saying some provocative words without realizing it.

What's even more unbearable is that everything he said was not just rhetoric, but a fact put into action.

Li Mianmian said "Oh" and while trying her best to calm her heartbeat, she slowly retracted her hand, but her ears still turned slightly red uncontrollably.

Gu Yanci lowered his eyes and suddenly remembered what Xu Tingmo said before.

——"You really don't think your sister is interested in you?"

——“The beholder is clear.”

He suppressed his smile imperceptibly, nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back to work."

Li Mianmian nodded, put on his coat silently, turned around and walked back.

In mid-November, the senior high school students participating in the competition were picked up by the school bus.

Gu Yanci was participating in the pre-match training some time ago and had not had much contact with Li Mianmian. He only spoke to her the night before departure and told her earnestly to prepare for the final exam seriously.

In fact, it's still early for the final exam, and the half-term exam hasn't even arrived yet.

But Gu Yanci, like Li Mianmian, always feels that November is almost the end of the year and the end of the semester, so he should start to get nervous.

Nan Shengsheng said before that she was a nerd, but she didn't know that she just followed this old man Gu Yanci.

At the end of November, after half term, there is the school anniversary party.

The party started at 7:30, and after class ended at 6:00, Li Mianmian and Nan Shengsheng went to the cafeteria to have a meal, and then came back to change clothes and put on makeup.

Because today was a special occasion, she even brought her mobile phone with her. After putting on makeup, she remembered that her mobile phone was still turned off.

She originally thought that no one would be looking for her anyway, but as soon as she turned on the phone, she received a text message from Gu Yanci, asking her when the party would start and what the ranking of the show she was participating in was.

Speaking of which, in fact, when Gu Yanci asked her if she had participated in the show, she wanted to lie and say she didn't come.

But facing Gu Yanci, she always felt like a transparent person and nothing could escape his eyes, so she finally told the truth.

Gu Yanci's message was sent at 12 noon, but Li Mianmian replied to him at almost 7 pm, and he immediately replied with another message: [Got it]

Li Mianmian felt that he meant to watch the show by asking this question, so she asked: [Has my brother come back already?]

Gu Yanci: [Not yet, I probably won’t be able to come back. Come on, perform well.]

After seeing the news, Li Mianmian felt that her emotions were a bit complicated. She didn't know whether she was disappointed or happy.

Snow White's stage play was the third to last performance. Other students in the class who participated in the performance were very nervous and waited backstage early.

Only Li Mianmian didn't care at all. She only had two sentences left and right, and Gu Yanci couldn't come back.

After changing her costume, she stayed in her seat to watch the performance. When it was almost her turn, she quietly slipped out of the back door of the auditorium.

Just as he turned out of the corridor, Li Mianmian saw several boys walking in the distance, and the tallest figure among them looked familiar.

But she was in a hurry to go backstage and didn't look carefully.

She does not need to appear in the first two acts of the stage play.

While sitting backstage waiting, Li Mianmian recalled the people just now and realized that the tall man seemed to be Gu Yanci.

But didn’t he say he wouldn’t come back? Or did he say he came back early?

After thinking about it, Li Mianmian began to get nervous.

It happened that it was her turn to go on stage at this time, and she was pushed out in a hurry without having time to collect herself.

The scene of poisoning Snow White was quite heavy, so the lights on the stage were very dark.

Li Mianmian carried the fruit basket and walked outside with rickets.

Handing the apple to Snow White and preparing to say her first line, Li Mianmian remembered that she should face the audience and turned slightly.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw the door to the auditorium opened, and light leaked in from the outside, casting a long shadow.

Golden light shone around him, drawing a circle of furry lines along the outline, as if a god had descended to earth.

Even though he was so far away and couldn't see anything clearly, Li Mianmian recognized him immediately - that person was Gu Yanci.

He actually came.

He still said he wouldn't be able to come back in the afternoon.

Reminiscent of the previous scene where he came here with several boys, Li Mianmian guessed that he might have just arrived.

So... after a long journey, why didn't he take a rest? Why did he come here? Just to watch a party?

And I only came to watch it when it was almost over.

Did you come here specifically to see her?

Li Mianmian's heart was beating fast.

The classmate who played Snow White saw that she hadn't recited her lines for a long time, so he poked her quietly under the cover of her clothes.

"!"

Li Mianmian suddenly came back to her senses, remembering that she was still acting in a stage play, and spoke quickly.

Her scenes totaled less than one minute. After the performance, she hurried off the stage and sat on a stool to catch her breath for a long time before she recovered.

When Gu Yanci comes back this time, he will definitely not be as busy as before.

Maybe he has already received a recommendation quota, so he will be very idle for more than half a year.
