At eleven o'clock in the morning the next day, Gu Xing got out of the car with a backpack on his back.

Guxi Community is just around the corner.

The camphor trees on both sides of the road were still green, helping him block the harsh August sun.

Gu Xing smelled the special aroma of camphor and was eager to return home. He stepped into the shadow of the trees and strode into his store.

A new bell was installed at the door, and when Gu Xing opened the door, it would make a mellow and sweet sound.

He complained in his mind and wanted to ask if he could sell the Peninsula Iron Box, but then he heard his mother's voice, "You're back?"

The voice is gentle.

Gu Xing's heart felt warm and he couldn't help but step forward and give the middle-aged woman standing in front of the counter a hug.

Mom looked Gu Xing up and down.

Although I have been making video calls with my son in the past two months, they are still separated by mobile phones.

Seeing it with her own eyes at this moment, she subconsciously looked at Gu Xing's figure to make sure that her son was not thin, and then she felt relieved, "It seems like the conditions there are not bad..."

"It's quite good," Gu Xing asked his mother to relax, "Every day there is plenty of fish and meat, and the meals are very rich."

Not only that, the team also goes out for dinner occasionally, and the quality of the food is much better than at home.

You can see how skilled the VG breeder is by looking at Yu Wenbo's rapidly expanding body size.

The two of them chatted for a while, and then his mother urged Gu Xing to go home quickly, "Your dad is almost ready to cook. You go back and take a shower first. I'll wait for a quarter of an hour before I go up."

When her son finally came back from vacation, Gu's mother naturally didn't want to continue opening the store and planned to take a half-day break.

When Gu Xing stepped into Guxi Community, he saw the ivy arrogantly entrenched outside the walls of the residential buildings. The familiar overhead wires were still above his head, weaving a dense network.

Everything is no different than when he left.

Gu Xing looked around, not forgetting to chat with the neighbors he met along the way.

After all, this is an old community. Most of the owners have lived here for more than ten years. They often go to the store owned by the Gu family to buy things. Every time they go there, they know that the store owner has a twin brother and sister, whose appearance and academic performance are very outstanding.

Gu Xing's social skills are perfect and his memory is quite good. When he had nothing to do, he helped pick up and deliver things in the store and knew the family situation and names of many owners.

When he met an acquaintance, he still had a very friendly smile on his face, "Uncle Gao, you are the one shopping for groceries again today... why did you buy so much pork?"

The other party was wearing a white undershirt in the summer and was so fat that his neck was almost invisible.

It is said that during the A-share bull market in 2000, Uncle Gao earned a lot of money, which was enough for him to be financially free for the rest of his life. He also retreated quickly to avoid the subsequent decline, retired early and enjoyed retirement life. His level was so high that people called him Buffett of Guxi Community.

Seeing Gu Xing greeting him, Uncle Gao looked kindly and said, "The suckling pigs are selling well today, so I bought a piglet and took it home to eat."

He then asked, "I heard that you are a professional player in Shanghai... My son likes you very much. Can I take a photo with you?"

Gu Xing didn't expect such a request, "I won't be able to stay for too long during this holiday, let's do it next time, definitely next time!"

Uncle Gao didn't care and waved goodbye to him.

Gu Xing walked quickly into the community. When he was approaching the downstairs of his house, he saw a rickety figure in front of him. With one hand he was pushing a trolley that the old man often used when going to the market, and with the other hand he was carrying a bunch of fruits. He hurriedly got on

Help before.

"Grandma Li, did you buy so many things again?"

The panting old man saw Gu Xing about to take over the cart full of vegetables in his hand, and hurriedly thanked him, "It's really troublesome. My grandson finally came back today, so he just wanted to make something delicious.

I accidentally bought too much.”

Gu Xing came back this time to stay for two or three days, so he didn't bring any suitcases with him, just so he could help carry things.

"What you're saying is that we all live on the same floor and can easily do it with a little effort..."

Gu Xing noticed that Grandma Li's expression showed happiness.

In my impression, her grandson is three or four years younger than her, and his grades have always been good. He is taking the high school entrance exam this year.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Xing could probably guess the reason why the other party was happy.

"Your grandson did well in the exam?"

He took the initiative to give Grandma Li a topic.

as expected.

One sentence opened up Grandma Li's conversation, "No, I performed exceptionally well and was admitted to the town's high school. Although it's not an innovative class, my family is very satisfied..."

She was very proud of this.

Being able to enter the best destination of Zhenhai's nine-year compulsory education is definitely a big event worth celebrating for ordinary families.

Gu Xing agreed with a smile and helped carry the trolley up to the third floor. Before leaving, he had a clean and handsome face and good communication skills. Grandma Li stuffed him with two crisp peaches as a token of appreciation.

grateful.

Watching the old man close the security door, he just took off his long legs, took three steps and then two steps, and ran all the way to the top of the building.

As soon as we stepped onto the 7th floor, the door of Shen's house opposite was gently pushed open.

Shen Guanshan, who was wearing home clothes, stuck his head out, his clear eyes full of joy.

Gu Xing looked at each other, and for a moment he stretched out his hand.

"Want to eat a peach?"

Shen Guanshan was confused by this question.

She had originally focused all her attention on Gu Xing's face, and her gaze shifted downwards, only then did she realize that the other person actually held two peaches in his hand!

Shen Guanshan hesitated for a moment, "Take it back and give it to Gu Pan."

Just two peaches, not enough for three people.

"Why do you care about her?" Gu Xing put the peach into Shen Guanshan's hand, "Let Gu Pan eat it if he wants."

Seeing that he insisted on giving it to him, Shen Guanshan had no choice but to accept it.

"Are you busy this afternoon?" Gu Xing stepped on the last step, so that the girl was a little taller than him.

Shen Guanshan, who was just over 1.7 meters tall, could look straight at Gu Xing's face and engraved his facial features into his mind with greed.

Her strange brain circuit started to go astray again.

Influenced by Gu Pan, Shen Guanshan read several Mary Sue romance novels during the summer vacation.

One of them described the ideal male protagonist as having a face like a knife.

When she saw this, her first reaction was knife-cut noodles, which made her hungry. Then she wondered in her mind who could have a "knife-like face".

After thinking about it, it seems that only the boss in SpongeBob SquarePants perfectly meets this requirement.

Now seeing Gu Xing's face, Shen Guanshan finally understood his ideal type.

He's not so handsome that he's miserable, but his facial features are handsome, his appearance is clean, his figure is tall, and his smile is sunny and warm, making people feel like they're in the spring breeze...

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Xing's palm moved up and down in front of her eyes, and then Shen Guanshan was awakened.

She remembered that she hadn't answered the other person's question yet, so she calmed down and said, "Gu Pan asked me out to watch "Cold War 2" this afternoon."

Gu Xing made two slanderous remarks.

I stopped watching it in the morning and stopped watching it in the evening. But when I came back, I took Shen Guanshan out to play again.

Gu Xing felt that Gu Pan did it on purpose.

Thinking of this, the guilt I felt for taking two crisp peaches from Grandma Li and not giving them to her disappeared instantly.

"When you come back from driving lessons tomorrow, let's go to the Drum Tower for a walk?" Gu Xing suggested.

Due to historical reasons, Ningbo has many ancient drum towers located in the city.

The name of Guxi Community comes from this. As the name suggests, it is to the west of the Drum Tower.

The nearest Drum Tower is next to Zhenhai Middle School. Sometimes many students go there for a walk on weekends.

Gu Xing and others used to hang out there.

Shen Guanshan agreed immediately without even thinking about it.

"Then see you tomorrow?"

Gu Xing saw Shen Guanshan nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he planned to take out the key and go home.

"Wait..." Shen Guanshan stopped him and ran into the house without looking back.

Not long after, he ran back again, holding a support banner with Gu Xing's Q-version avatar printed on it. Next to the avatar were cartoon images of heroes such as a male gunman, a leopard girl, and a blind monk.

Shen Guanshan pulled the banner apart with both hands and looked at Gu Xing with his eyes as clear as ever, "Can you sign your name for me?"

He had no reason to refuse, so he found a marker pen from his backpack and signed his name next to the Q-version avatar according to the signature style designed for 5 yuan on Taobao.

Shen Guanshan carefully put it away, "When the finals come, I will bring your signed banner to the scene to support you."

Gu Xing said goodbye to her and as soon as he opened the security door, he found his sister sitting on the sofa playing with the TV remote control.

"Hey," Gu Pan started to get angry when he came up, "Isn't this a big star? How come he's back by chance?"

Gu Xing immediately turned on the emergency device and responded with a cold sneer, "I am a leading star with a hammer. Have you ever seen a leading star making such a small amount of money in a month?"
