He was naked and only wore a pair of underwear. He had fair skin, thin figure, and had long and well-proportioned legs. At this time, Gu Mingxi was thirteen years and four months old. It was the time to get a long body. Li Han said that his pants were shorter after not wearing them for two months, and his shoes became bigger and bigger as they bought them.

Gu Mingxi knew that he was growing up and his body was undergoing various changes. There were many things that could not be avoided no matter what, such as the one that happened in his sleep just now.

However, compared with other boys, it is undeniable that Gu Mingxi will have more confusion, hesitation and fear.

In the deep night, everything was silent. The little boy stood in front of the dressing mirror in his room and saw his incomplete body again. He sighed softly, put on clean clothes, turned off the lights and went to bed.

On Christmas, Pang Qian prepared many greeting cards. After coming to school, she gave one to the girls in the class. Gu Mingxi watched her run around the classroom and then returned to her seat, her eyes shining with excitement.

After a while, the girl Zhang Wei walked to their table with her hands behind her back, took out a greeting card from behind and handed it to Pang Qian: "Merry Christmas, Crab."

"Thank you!" Pang Qian took it happily, and saw Zhang Wei standing by the side without moving. After twisting for a while, he took out a greeting card from behind and handed it to Gu Mingxi: "Gu Mingxi, I wish you a Merry Christmas."

Gu Mingxi was a little surprised, hesitated for a moment and did not move. Zhang Wei looked at his feet on the table, then looked at his sleeves drooping under his shoulders, and put the greeting card on his table awkwardly, and ran away with a red face.

Pang Qian looked at Gu Mingxi secretly, but Gu Mingxi put the greeting card into his schoolbag with calm expressions, but he didn't open it to look.

Later, seven or eight girls came to send greeting cards to Gu Mingxi one after another. Pang Qian was stunned. It can be judged by the envelopes of the greeting cards that these cards were not cheap.

She suddenly realized that Gu Mingxi was quite popular.

Pang Qian was not idle either. During the break, she took out the greeting card prepared for Xie Yi from her schoolbag. She observed that many girls had already given greeting cards to Xie Yi, so there was nothing more for her.

She hid under the table and unpacked the envelope carefully. Finally, she checked whether she had written any typos. After reinstalling it, she raised her head and saw the deep gaze of her deskmate.

Gu Mingxi's eyes were so strange! Pang Qian looked at him with some guilt, stood up without saying a word, and walked around the classroom with small steps to Xie Yi's desk.

Xie Yi was chatting with the boy at the back table. When he heard Pang Qian calling him, he turned around and his face had not yet faded.

"Thank you, Xie Yi." Pang Qian stuttered a little, blushed and handed him the greeting card, "I wish you a Merry Christmas."

A boy next to him started to cheer, and Xie Yize took the greeting card openly and said with a smile: "Thank you, crab."

Pang Qian scratched her head and plucked up the courage to ask the question she had always wanted to ask: "Xie Yi, in a few days of art performance, will you still play the violin?"

"Hmm?" Xie Yi looked at her with a smile and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"I think you play the violin every year in elementary school, which is very nice, haha, haha." Pang Qian smiled foolishly, "If you play the violin again this year, our class will definitely be the first."

Xie Yi stood up, leaned his butt on the edge of the table, turned a pen in his hand, and said lazyly: "I play the violin, not to compete for rankings. I really like playing the violin."

"Ah..." Pang Qian nodded, "I also like to listen to you pulling. I think you pulling it very well!"

"Have you learned it?"

Pang Qian shook her head: "No."

Xie Yi smiled again: "A few days ago, Teacher Cao asked me if I would like to perform. I think I am not good at performing in the class, so I refused."

Pang Qian felt very regretful: "That's it..."

Xie Yi suddenly squeezed his eyes at her and smiled, "But if you really want to hear it, I will ask Teacher Cao if you can add me one. It will take only a few minutes, and it should be a big problem."

Pang Qian was so excited: "Really?!"

"Yes." Xie Yi held his arm and leaned against the table, with his posture particularly graceful. "The teacher who taught me Qin said that he would play Qin to his soulmate. If someone wanted to listen, Qin would be happy."

When Pang Qian returned to her seat, she was about to float up. She happily prepared the textbook for the next class and hummed the song. Gu Mingxi didn't say anything. She turned her head and looked at her for a while, but she didn't notice it. He finally turned around and took out a number study book with his feet, and started the questions silently.

After Pang Qian was happy for a while, she poked Gu Mingxi's waist with a pen: "What are you doing?"

"Doing math." He twisted his waist and dodged for a while, and replied in a low voice.

"Hey, Gu Mingxi, show me your pencil case."

“What are you doing?”

Pang Qian had already leaned over and took his pencil case from his feet. The things in Gu Mingxi's pencil case were very simple, and there was no fancy stationery. Pang Qian looked at this and then that, and finally put it back for him.

Gu Mingxi asked her: "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Pang Qian smiled at him with her chin, her eyes full of smiles, obviously in a very good mood.

But Gu Mingxi's mood became a little bad, but he didn't say anything, but just leaned down again.

Until school, Gu Mingxi did not receive Pang Qian's greeting card. He was a little disappointed, but he acted very generously. Before packing his schoolbag and going home, he took out a small box from his schoolbag and handed it to Pang Qian with his toes.

"I didn't buy a greeting card, so I prepared a small gift for you, Pangpang, Merry Christmas."

Pang Qian was very surprised, but after taking the box and opening it, she was stunned.

Gu Mingxi looked at her strange reaction and asked, "Don't you like it?"

"..." Pang Qian smiled foolishly, "No, I like it very much, thank you."

In the evening, Pang Qian came to Gu Mingxi's house with her homework. Gu Mingxi finally knew why she had such a strange reaction after receiving the gift in the afternoon.

Because Pang Qian gave Gu Mingxi a small box wrapped in colored paper. Gu Mingxi sat cross-legged at the table, unpacking her legs with her feet, and was surprised to find that the box was a dark blue hero pen.

The pen he gave to Pang Qian was also a fountain pen, except that the pen holder was crimson, the style, brand, and packaging were exactly the same as the one Pang Qian gave him.

He raised his head and looked at her in confusion. Pang Qian said dejectedly: "I didn't buy you a greeting card, I think it's quite boring. This pen was taken back by my father a few days ago. It was very expensive and I couldn't buy it outside. I asked him for a lot of geniuses to ask for it. I wanted to give it to you as a Christmas gift. Do you love practicing pen calligraphy? As a result, I left anxiously this morning... I forgot to take it."

Gu Mingxi: "..."

Pang Qian said anxiously: "I didn't prepare it temporarily! Look, I packed it a few days ago, I bought it myself! I was stunned when I saw the gift you gave me just now, thinking how could it be such a coincidence?"

"It's not a coincidence." Gu Mingxi spoke, "These pens were customized by the Metal Materials Company to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the factory construction. The company abbreviation was engraved on the cap. You probably didn't pay attention. My father got one and was used. I tried it and it was easy to write it. I asked him to bring one for me and I want to give it to you."

Pang Qian: “…”

Gu Mingxi looked down at the pen between his feet, thinking that it turned out to be a dark blue one. His big toe gently stroked the pen holder, raised his head, and suddenly laughed: "Pangpang, thank you for your gift, I really like it."

After finishing the homework, it was still early. Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian discussed the popular cartoons and TV series recently. Gu Mingxi's eyes focused on the pen on the table again. He suddenly asked Pang Qian: "Pang Pang, do you know that the factory is moving."

Pang Qian was completely unaware of the situation and looked up at him in surprise: "Ah! Where to move?"

"The west of the city is quite far away, and it will take about an hour and a half to take a bus." Gu Mingxi said, "My father said that the company has already enclosed a piece of land there, and will start construction after the New Year next year. In about two years, the entire factory will be moved there."

"What about here?" Pang Qian asked with a lollipop in her mouth, "So far away! How did my parents go to work?"

"I don't know either." Gu Mingxi shook his head, "My father said that when the factory was built, it was still a suburb, but the city gradually developed and expanded, and now it has become the city center, so the factory is not suitable here." After a pause, he said hesitantly, "There is another thing... Pangpang, I heard from my father that the company has built a new dormitory in the new factory, which is a high-rise with an elevator. The house is much larger than here. At that time, I may have to move."

Pang Qian stared at him with wide eyes, a little confused.

Before New Year's Day, the New Year's Art Performance at the Junior High School of Yuanfei Middle School was held in the school auditorium.

Before the performance started, Pang Qian went to the bathroom and met Xie Yi and Teacher Cao in the corridor outside the auditorium. They seemed to be arguing, and Pang Qian was a little curious and walked over involuntarily.

Teacher Cao was holding a white outfit in his hand, while Xie Yi was holding a black violin case in his hand, trying his best to say something to Teacher Cao. Pang Qian walked behind him and heard him say, "I will never wear this! I will never wear such clothes to play the violin!"

Teacher Cao said: "Then you don't prepare your dress! Do you want to wear down jackets to perform on stage?"

Xie Yi shouted: "What's wrong?"

"Then what's wrong with wearing this white suit?"

"This dress looks like a clown! A ridiculous clown!" Xie Yi took a step back and waved his hand to Teacher Cao, "If I had to wear this, I would rather not play the violin!"

When Pang Qian returned to the audience, her heart was beating constantly.

The previous scene shocked her deeply. Although Pang Qian was not a top student, she was always respectful and obedient to her teacher. This was even more so. He was a good baby since he was a child and almost never made trouble for the teacher.

Pang Qian never knew that there was someone who dared to disobey the teacher so much and dared to talk to the teacher so loudly.

When it was Xie Yi's turn to come on stage, Pang Qian suddenly became very nervous. She was guessing in her heart whether Xie Yi would wear that white suit. In fact, Pang Qian didn't understand why he was so resistant to that suit. She just saw that the trouser legs and cuffs of the clothes had some golden patterns, which were quite beautiful, right?

Amid the applause, a boy slowly walked onto the stage with a violin. The light on the stage focused on him. Pang Qian felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Xie Yi was wearing his down jacket, black, fluffy fur on his collar, dark blue jeans underneath, and sneakers on his feet. He calmly put the piano on his shoulders, raised the strings, and his fingers were like dancing, and the melodious music flowed out.

Pang Qian couldn't help but grab Gu Mingxi's sleeve beside her, and pulled it very tightly. She murmured to herself: "Gu Mingxi, Gu Mingxi, Xie Yi is so cool, so cool, he is so cool."

Not long after the art performance, the final exam came soon after.

Pang Qian was so nervous that she was extremely nervous. After all, this exam would have grade adjustments. She ranked seventh from the bottom in the class during the midterm exam. No matter what, she was in the ranks of "poor students" in the class.

Pang Qian also has self-esteem. Gu Mingxi is not only the second in the class, but also the second in the grade. As his deskmate, Pang Qian is really embarrassed to be at the bottom of the class. Therefore, she attaches more importance to this exam than any exam she has experienced in the past.

Strangely, Gu Mingxi also attached great importance to this exam and studied like crazy every day, which made Pang Qian very puzzled.

In mid-January, the final exam finally ended, with seven courses, Chinese, mathematics, English, history, geography, and politics. Pang Qian ranked 23rd in the class in total. However, Gu Mingxi scored 19 points higher than Xie Yi and steadily won the first place in the whole grade.

When Pang Qian saw the ranking list posted on the blackboard, she ran excitedly to Gu Mingxi, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Wow! Gu Mingxi! You are the first in the exam! You are actually more than Xie Yi! So awesome!"

Gu Mingxi's lips just bent slightly, and before his smile could emerge from his eyes, his brows frowned and said, "But... you didn't get into the top 20."

Pang Qian felt that this was not a big deal at all. She was already very satisfied with her ranking. She was the person with the greatest progress in the class. She knew that this was all Gu Mingxi's credit.

Pang Qian said: "Gu Mingxi, I have done well enough in the exam! I will work harder next semester and will definitely be able to enter the top 20!" She smiled happily, patted her little breasts and said generously, "I will treat you to a drink later!"

Pang Qian did what she said, and after class, she went to the convenience store to buy a can of Coke for Gu Mingxi and returned to the classroom with the Coke. She helped Gu Mingxi open the pull-up ring, inserted a straw and placed it at Gu Mingxi's feet.

Pang Qian didn't notice the strange gazes of the classmates in the class. Many people were quietly looking at her and Gu Mingxi's every move. Until school was about to end, the class monitor walked to Pang Qian and said that Teacher Cao was looking for her.

Pang Qian is not familiar with the teachers. She is the kind of girl with a weak sense of presence in front of the teachers. She never asks questions, has never held any class position, and has never even been a class representative or a group leader.

In the minds of all the teachers, Pang Qian's only label is Gu Mingxi's deskmate. They have heard from Teacher Cao that Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi were together in elementary school for six years. The little girl would help Gu Mingxi in life. There was already a tacit understanding between the two. Therefore, after entering Yuanfei Middle School, Pang Qian was assigned to the fast class, which was also a blessing from Gu Mingxi. According to her grades, she could only be in the slow class.

But Pang Qian didn't know anything. She went to the office in confusion. There were seven or eight teachers in the office, all of whom were busy with their own affairs. Pang Qian walked up to Teacher Cao with some restraint and asked, "Teacher Cao, are you looking for me?"

"Yes." Teacher Cao turned to look at Pang Qian. The girl looked a little nervous and her face was flushed. Teacher Cao thought for a moment and said straight to the point, "Pang Qian, I came to you to ask some information. In the last midterm exam, you almost failed the English and math. After that, I saw that your homework and unit tests were all improved, but I didn't see you come to ask the teacher for questions. In this final exam, I paid special attention to your grades. English is 90 and math is 88. It's really obvious that the progress was too obvious compared to the last time, but it's only been two months."

The more Pang Qian listened, the more confused he became. He could not find the point in Teacher Cao's words. The teacher paused for a moment and asked clearly, "Pang Qian, tell me the truth. Have you been copying Gu Mingxi's homework for a while, and then during the exam, he begged him to let you peek?"

Hearing this, Pang Qian's brain exploded. She subconsciously looked up to see several other teachers in the office. There were her teachers in the classroom. They all lowered their heads and were busy at their desks, but Pang Qian always felt that they were all eavesdropping on Teacher Cao's words.

Her face was burning very hard, and she didn't know what to say at once. She organized her vocabulary in her heart and explained to Teacher Cao systematically, saying that she actually did her homework with Gu Mingxi every night, and she had a lot of things she didn't understand, and he would teach her.
