Chapter 36
Gu's mother put the spoon in her hand into the pot at the back, walked up to Gu Moran, raised her hand and touched her head: "I'm sorry, my mother couldn't help you with what you went through in school.
You're being bullied. You can buy whatever glasses you want. If you don't have enough money, I'll give them to you."
Gu Moran's heart suddenly felt warm. Before she even mentioned it, Gu's mother had already said it.
"Mom, you go to work well tomorrow. I can just buy glasses myself. The optical store is not far from our home anyway."
Gu's mother wanted to say something more. Gu Moran could guess that Gu's mother wanted to accompany him, so he continued: "I'm almost an adult, I'm not a child anymore. Don't worry. Mom, can you not tell me about this?"
My dad? I'm afraid he will be angry."
Last time, because Gu's mother misunderstood her relationship with Lu Lin and asked random questions during dinner, Gu's father got angry. Gu Moran didn't want Gu's father to worry about her after work so hard. After all, Gu's father didn't have any rest at work.
Every day, every month, I work full time, and I only have about ten hours of rest every day when I get home.
Gu Moran suddenly found that she cared so much about the characters in the book. Occasionally, she almost regarded them as her real biological parents. Maybe it was because she had not felt this kind of fatherly and motherly love in real life for a long time.
Gu's mother responded: "Okay, I won't tell."
Father Gu came back not long after. During dinner, Mother Gu really didn't mention the fact that Gu Moran was bullied. When Father Gu asked why Gu Moran wasn't wearing his glasses, Mother Gu also said that he accidentally broke them while washing at home.
Yes, she responded according to Gu's mother's words. Under their welcome, Gu's father had no doubts at all.
Soon it was the tomorrow that Gu Moran was most looking forward to. Without the alarm, Gu Moran slept until about nine o'clock in the morning. It was really comfortable to wake up naturally. She stretched out and lay in bed for a few more days.
She got up after a few minutes, then opened the balcony curtains, and the warm winter sun shone into the bedroom and also shone on her.
Gu Moran randomly rummaged through the closet to find some casual clothes, put them on, and put on a cotton-padded jacket.
My family is not that wealthy, so I don't turn on the heater very often, so it's quite cold.
Gu Moran originally planned to make breakfast by herself, but as soon as she walked to the kitchen, she saw rice porridge in the pot, fried vegetables, and hundreds of red banknotes pressed by the plate...
–
On the way to the optical shop, Gu Mo Ran squinted her eyes for a while, otherwise she always felt that she couldn't see the road clearly. She really felt insecure without wearing glasses, and she was afraid that she would get lost.
Gu Moran walked for about 20 minutes to a nearby optical shop. After seeing Gu Moran, the clerk at the door came forward enthusiastically and said, "Classmate, do you want to buy glasses or contact lenses? Or repair glasses?"
Gu Moran responded: "I buy glasses."
The clerk became even more enthusiastic when she heard what Gu Moran said. Not only did she provide comprehensive services to test her vision, but she also told Gu Moran about the many styles of spectacle frames and spectacle lenses in the store.
Gu Moran finally chose a more fashionable gold-framed pair of glasses. The clerk enthusiastically told Gu Moran the price and brought her a glasses case and other necessities.
Gu Moran left the optical shop after paying the bill. She was still a little dizzy after just wearing new glasses. She felt that she was getting closer to a successful counterattack. Now she just had to lose weight.
Gu Moran started to jog. Since he was all out, he took this opportunity to exercise again.
When she was approaching the alleyway home, Gu Moran seemed to see Lu Lin's back turning in, but because her vision was a little dizzy now, she wasn't sure if it was it, but she thought there was a 50% chance that it was.
Lu Lin.
After arriving at school in the afternoon, in order to confirm whether it was Lu Lin, Gu Moran first went to the classroom of Class 4 to look for Chen Yan. She stood at the back door and shouted softly: "Chen Yan."
Chen Yan turned around when he heard the shouting, and suddenly noticed that Gu Moran at the back door had put on new glasses. They seemed to look better than the previous clumsy glasses. It felt like her appearance had improved a little.
Chen Yan stood up and walked over with his long legs, and said arrogantly: "What do you want from me? If you want to thank me, there is no need. You wrote it yesterday. We are all friends, so there is no need to be so polite."
Gu Moran raised his hand to push the frame, changed the subject and asked, "Where is Lu Lin? Why don't you see him in the classroom?"
Chen Yan felt a strong blow. Sure enough, she and Lu Lin were good friends, and she was just a foil.
Seeing Chen Yan's hesitation and delay in responding to the questions he just asked, Gu Moran became even more certain that the figure he saw from behind in the morning was Lu Lin.
She asked again: "Why did Lu Lin go home?"
Chen Yan instantly became a little crazy. Finally, his Adam's apple rolled twice and he told the whole truth: "Originally, Lu Lin asked me to keep it a secret from you, but I really feel that it's not worth it for him. You should know these things. For Lu Lin's sake,
You were waiting for Cheng Luoluo at the school gate early today. You didn't take any action after meeting and just gave a few warnings, but Cheng Luoluo reported it to the director."
"You also know that Lu Lin used to love fighting. The dean was quite impressed with him and thought he was really bullying Cheng Luoluo. Then he was punished indiscriminately, asked to write a self-criticism, and had to go home to study.
One week.”
Gu Moran was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Lu Lin would do this for her, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Gu Moran didn't pay much attention to the afternoon class. All she could think about was that Lu Lin was suspended from class to vent his anger on her.
Senior year classes are already very tight. Will Lu Lin miss the course because of this and his ranking in the final exam will drop?
When school was about to end, Chen Yan skipped class early and took out the test papers and textbooks he needed to do tonight. He went to the back door of Class 5 and waited.
Lu Lin was suddenly suspended from class in the morning, and almost went home carrying an empty schoolbag.
Lu Lin had few friends, the only ones closest to Gu Mo Ran's family.
Gu Moran and Su Li often walked through the front door and never saw Chen Yan waiting at the back door. However, as soon as they left the classroom, they were followed by Chen Yan. Chen Yan stuffed all the things he was holding into Gu Moran's arms: "How do you say this?
You also have some responsibilities, so please give all the homework that needs to be done to Lu Lin."
Gu Moran was confused and hummed several times. She didn't come back to her senses until Su Li asked about Lu Lin, and then explained the whole matter to Su Li in a perfunctory manner.
The schoolbag he was originally carrying was already quite heavy, but now he had to add several more books. It was so heavy that Gu Moran almost dislocated his shoulder.
She actually didn't want to go to Lu Lin's house, mainly because Mother Lu and Mother Gu met and chatted often, especially on Sundays, when they visited each other's houses. She was really afraid that Mother Lu would see her and tell Gu about it.
mother.
After getting off the bus, Gu Moran walked to the door of Lu Lin's house with a sense of luck. The door of Lu Lin's house was closed tightly. She thought the door was locked, so she raised her hand to knock. As soon as she knocked, the door creaked open, revealing a lot of people.
Big gap.
Gu Moran called his name: "Lu Lin."
Lu Lin's house was so quiet that there was no sound at all, as if no one was there at all. Gu Moran began to hesitate whether to go in.
After careful consideration, she went in, thinking that if Lu Lin was really not at home, she could put the textbooks on the stool in the yard and then send a message to Lu Lin online when she got home.
Gu Moran stepped through the threshold and entered. Before she had walked a few steps, the schoolbag she was carrying on her back was suddenly picked up. Then Lu Lin's voice came to her ears: "What are you doing at my house?"
"I'll give you your homework for Chen Yan."
Lu Lin let go of the hand holding Gu Moran's schoolbag, raised his hand and scratched the back of his neck, and asked worriedly: "Chen Yan, he didn't say anything to you, did he?"
Gu Moran turned around, tried to raise his head and looked at him, and said honestly: "I told you, I told you everything."
Lu Lin didn't say anything, but he was already cursing Chen Yan in his heart. Chen Yan really couldn't change his habit of talking loudly. If it weren't for Chen Yan's presence at the scene this time, he really wanted to hide it, so he just knew it.
.
Gu Moran always felt that the atmosphere was getting a little weird, so he changed the subject and asked: "Lu Lin, do you think my new glasses are good-looking?"
Lu Lin lowered his peach blossom eyes and stared at Gu Moran's face seriously. Looking at her big eyes under her round glasses and her thinner cheeks, he had to admit that she was more beautiful than when he first met her.
a lot of.
After staring at Gu Moran for more than ten seconds, Lu Lin awkwardly looked away and raised his lips in response: "It looks good."
Lu Lin's tone of praise was very blunt, but Gu Moran was inexplicably happy after hearing it. This was the first time Lu Lin praised herself. Although she knew it was just the glasses and not the appearance, she was also very satisfied.
Wait, the reason why she is so happy is because she thinks Lu Lin is very discerning, especially since Lu Lin has a very real temperament. If he praises her, he must be really good-looking, yes, that must be the case.
Lu Lin suddenly coughed twice and added: "I don't know which boy with good luck will be your boyfriend in the future."
Gu Moran felt her thoughts change. She was about to misunderstand the meaning of this sentence. She quickly shifted her attention, took off the schoolbag she was carrying on her shoulder, unzipped it and took out Lu Lin's textbook and test papers.
Lu Lin took what she handed him, curled his lips and said, "I thought I wouldn't have to do homework after class, but I didn't expect that guy Chen Yan to be so worried about me failing the exam."
"I'm also worried that your grades will get worse because of the break this week. In that case, I will blame myself. After all, it's because of you..."
Gu Moran didn't say any more, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Lin's face or eyes.
"Well, I'm going to go home and do my homework first. The teacher assigned me a lot of homework today." As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Moran quickly picked up his schoolbag and slipped out from beside him.
Seeing Gu Moran's inexplicable behavior, Lu Lin's lips curled up slightly, and he happily walked towards the bedroom holding his textbook.
After Gu Moran returned home, she was praised by Gu's mother, saying that her new glasses were much prettier than the original ones and that she looked radiant. There were also a few old-fashioned words to describe her, but they were exaggerated. She was now more beautiful.
Gu Moran was a little embarrassed to be praised for his temperament.
