At the beginning of the second year of high school, Pang Qian was assigned to Class 2 (7), with the classroom at the east end of the second floor, Gu Mingxi was in Class 2 (1) of high school, and the classroom at the west end of the fourth floor.

Entering through the gate in the middle of the teaching building, there is a staircase on both sides. Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi face east and west, it is difficult to get together even if they go up and down the stairs.

Fortunately, Pang Qian and Zheng Qiaoqiao were in the same class, and Xie Yi and several other teammates from the table tennis team were also in the same class. Pang Qian naturally sat with Zheng Qiaoqiao. The two girls were particularly acquainted and became closer after being a deskmate.

What made Pang Qian even happier was that in the first baseline exam after school, she just took the exam casually. After the rankings came out, she was in the middle of the class. This made her ecstatic. She finished the whole class for a whole year and never finished the tenth to the bottom. Pang Qian was simply living with her tail between her legs and was covered in dust. The results after the class were divided greatly enhanced her self-confidence and let her know that she was not that rubbish.

During lunch, Pang Qian stood at the entrance of the teaching building with her lunch box. Countless students passed by her side. Her eyes passed by the crowd and saw the person walking towards her. She immediately waved her hand: "Gu Mingxi!"

Gu Mingxi tilted his head and held the lunch box, biting the rice card in his mouth. Xiao Yujing walked beside him. After seeing Pang Qian, she smiled at her and left without saying a word.

Pang Qian took the lunch box around Gu Mingxi's neck, took the meal card again, and said with a pretentious attitude: "Actually, you can have dinner with Xiao Yujing."

Xiao Yujing is Gu Mingxi's new deskmate, and the head teacher of their class is still Teacher Dai. Pang Qian felt that Teacher Dai was afraid that Gu Mingxi would "learn badly" again, so she simply found a first-year first-year to supervise him.

Gu Mingxi looked at her and said, "Really? Then I'll have dinner with Xiao Yujing tomorrow. She told me that if you are not available, she can help me get food."

"I'm just talking." Pang Qian was inexplicably anxious, and then shouted happily, "Gu Mingxi! I took the 32nd place in the class in the final exam! Hahahahaha... Thirty-two! There are fifty-one people in our class!"

"How many points?"

Pang Qian proudly reported the score to him.

"Um..." Gu Mingxi glanced at Pang Qian, "Pang Pang, are you sure you want to take the Fudan exam? Your grades are still the last in our class."

He is showing off again!

Pang Qian was so angry that she wanted to throw the lunch box back to him. Finally, she endured it and said, "Gu Mingxi, if you say a few words of praise, I will die!"

Gu Mingxi couldn't think of anything worth praising about Pang Qian. He blinked and said, "You can't even do the basic test. Then take a look at the midterm exam. Pang Pang, you have to strive to be in the top 150 of the grade so that you have the chance to take the exam."

To be honest, Pang Qian had no idea about the college entrance examination at this time. She was not popularized by Gu Guoxiang like Gu Mingxi. She only knew the difference between undergraduate and junior college. No. 1 Middle School is not the best high school. In Pang Qian's mind, it is very good to be admitted to undergraduate. She didn't even dare to think about the top 150 in the grade.

She accompanied Gu Mingxi to the cafeteria to get food and eat. After eating, she took the lunch boxes of two people to the sink to clean. After washing, she and Gu Mingxi walked towards the teaching building together and entered the gate. She looked at the stairs on the left and said, "I'll help you get it to the fourth floor."

"No need, I can take it myself." Gu Mingxi smiled at her, raised his right shoulder, and signaled Pang Qian to put the lunch box there.

Pang Qian felt a little sad. On a long day, she would only be with Gu Mingxi during lunch. She always chattered and talked to him, while he listened with a smile. After lunch, they had to return to their respective classrooms and never even meet after school.

No one helped her teach questions in self-study classes anymore, and Pang Qian was really not used to it.

Gu Mingxi looked at her depressed look and asked, "Do you practice football this afternoon?"

Pang Qian shook her head: "Don't practice."

Gu Mingxi said: "Then after school, let's go to the small market to sit for a while. I'll treat you to eat and go home after the meal."

Pang Qian looked up at him blankly, then she smiled with her eyes bent and nodded and said, "Okay."

Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi's second-year life kicked off like this.

Gu Mingxi gathered the best faculty and the best students in the grade in the Rockets class. Their study pressure was unimaginable. After writing a day, Gu Mingxi felt a headache and her waist would not be straightened. He couldn't help but think that if Pang Qian stayed here, she would probably be more and more unhappy.

Xiao Yujing sat next to him. She talked very little, and spent most of her time reading books and doing questions. Occasionally, she would fold her arms on the table, resting her arms or taking a nap.

Regarding Gu Mingxi's life difficulties, she simply said: "If you have anything to help, just tell me. If you don't say it, I will just treat you as no problem."

Later, she also implemented this way. Unless Gu Mingxi asked her for help, she would help without saying a word. If he buried his head in fiddling with him, Xiao Yujing would pretend that he didn't see it.

But Pang Qian lived a life almost like a fairy in Class (7).

(7) The students in Class 7 come from different classes in the first year of high school. There will inevitably be small groups when the school starts, but after a month, everyone gets very good at getting in. Especially, there is Xie Yi in the class, who is simply a calming needle that brings together all boys and girls.

Xie Yi almost responded to the call. Under his guidance, even the classmates who did not play table tennis in the class started to buy beats and practice. Xie Yi is a sports fan. The Chinese men's football team has been fighting for the top ten games in the 2002 World Cup, and he never missed every game. Every day, he talked with a few boys in the classroom, and sometimes he even asked his classmates to go to his house to watch the game because his house is big.

Pang Qian also went to join in the fun. When she talked about this with Gu Mingxi, she was flirting with her face, but Gu Mingxi's face became worse and worse.

When the autumn wind blew, the midterm exam came. Pang Qian took a big step back and only won the 38th place in the class.

She and Gu Mingxi sat on the bench in the small park together. Gu Mingxi asked her to take out all the papers for him to see. He turned his body sideways, placed both feet on the chair, and looked at Pang Qian's test papers one by one with his toes.

He really knows Pang Qian very well. She is the typical student who can only learn under high pressure and supervision.

Although she was at the end of the crane in the class when she was in her first year of high school, she had been supervising by Gu Mingxi and her grades were very stable. However, now she has only been in the second year of high school for half a semester, and no one cares about her at all. Pang Qian became an old man. Gu Mingxi looked at her paper and her brows became tighter and tighter.

Pang Qian looked disapproving and was quite satisfied with this ranking. Of course Gu Mingxi would not think so. He was already very experienced in Pang Qian. After reading her wrong questions, he knew where her weakness was, which knowledge point was, which knowledge point was just a little bit, whether he could memorize English, and whether he was guessing it randomly... He knew everything.

He said to Pang Qian a bit serious: "Starting next month, I will continue to give you tutoring."

Pang Qian looked at him for no reason: "How to make up for it?"

Gu Mingxi glared at her: "I'm sorry."

"Where is there time?" Pang Qian didn't understand, "You are so nervous during the day, and we can't touch you at night."

Gu Mingxi pursed his lips and said softly: "I have a solution."

In early December, a pair of young people living in 502 next to Pang Qian moved out. They were newly hired employees from the metal materials company. They lived in 502 for nearly a year and drove to work with Jin Aihua early in the morning. It is said that because they performed well, the company had to arrange for them to live in Jincai Xinyuan next to the factory.

Pang Qian asked her father who would stay in 502. Pang Shuisheng squeezed his eyes at her and said, "You will know then."

A week later, someone moved in next door. It was a weekend. After Pang Qian had a nap, she heard the sound of moving furniture next door and the noise of men discussing.

She wrapped herself in a thick coat and opened the door, secretly looking at the opposite side. The door of 502 was open, and several men with the appearance of workers were moving furniture into the house. Suddenly, someone walked out of the door. Pang Qian almost frightened when she saw him.

"Pang Pang, you got up so late." The young man was wearing a down jacket, with two bulging sleeves hanging beside him, leaning against the door frame and smiling at Pang Qian.

Many years later, Pang Qian will remember the years in her second year of high school, as if time had turned back, and she and him had returned to the starting point.

She would remember Gu Mingxi, who smiled at her that winter morning, so warm that it could burn people's eyes. Whenever she thought of it, she would want to cry.

Gu Mingxi followed Li Han to move back to Jincai Courtyard 502. For the outside world, they used the reason that Gu Mingxi lived in the west of the city and it was really inconvenient to go to and from school. He had to study late in his third year of high school, and it was more convenient to live in the city.

Gu Guoxiang still lives in the big house in Jincai Xinyuan. In fact, Pang Qian has learned the truth from her parents, that is, Gu Guoxiang and Li Han are separated.

They did not divorce, and the two of them were somewhat repulsive of divorce. Perhaps subconsciously, the relationship was still there, but they really could not live together again. When Gu Guoxiang returned home, Li Han either refused to talk to him, but when he said that, he would sarcastically hold a gun and stick. Sometimes he couldn't stand it and would stab her a few words in a tit-for-tat way. So a family war broke out again.

I was disgusted with each other. After a few times, Gu Guoxiang's time to go home became less and less.

But this is not a solution. Gu Guoxiang is in the rising period of his career, so he must not be criticized for his marriage or style issues and affect his future. So, after Li Han proposed to take Gu Mingxi back to the Jincai Courtyard, Gu Guoxiang immediately made arrangements. He also found a way to help Li Han retire due to illness so that she could take care of Gu Mingxi better. In this way, the two of them separated for the time being, and they did not have to quarrel or cold war every time they met, and they felt much more relaxed.

But for Gu Mingxi, he was still very sad when he watched his parents break.

It was cloudy and it rained all night. Pang Qian took an umbrella and went to school. She stood at the door and was stunned for a while. She went to knock on the door of 502.

The door opened, and a familiar face appeared in front of her. Gu Mingxi was about to go out when he saw Pang Qian, raised his eyebrows at her and said, "Pang Pang, it's early."

He sat on the shoe changing bench and put on his shoes. Before he could wear them himself, Pang Qian had already squatted down to help him put his shoes on his feet. Gu Mingxi was a little unhappy: "I can wear them myself."

"You wear it too slowly." Pang Qian looked at his shoes and asked, "Gu Mingxi, will it be cold if you wear single shoes?"

"No, I'm used to it." He stood up, and Pang Qian took the raincoat next to him for him to put it on. Seeing that they were about to leave, Li Han came out of the kitchen and reminded the two children: "Be careful on the road, Qianqian, take care of Mingxi on the bus."

Pang Qian agreed: "I will, aunt."

Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian went out together. Pang Qian held an umbrella, and Gu Mingxi walked beside her in a raincoat. The raindrops fell on the umbrella. In a trance, Pang Qian remembered the heavy snowy day when she was a child. This was how she and Gu Mingxi went to school all the way.

She secretly turned her face to look at Gu Mingxi. At that time, the little boy who was only a little taller than her had grown up now, and he was one head taller than her.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Mingxi asked with a curl of his lips.

Pang Qian shook her head: "It's nothing, I just haven't been to school with you for a long time. I'm so used to it."

He smiled: "You haven't done your homework with me for a long time, and you will be even less used to it then."

Pang Qian instantly became frowning.

When she arrived at the bus stop, Pang Qian helped Gu Mingxi take off his raincoat, folded it and stuffed it into a plastic bag. After Gu Mingxi moved it back, Pang Qian naturally gave up riding a bicycle and took the bus to school with him every day. She felt that she was Gu Mingxi's hands, helping him put on and take off his raincoat, swipe his bus IC card, protect him in the car, and doing all this was natural and familiar to her.

The buses were very crowded on rainy days, and the bus was wet and wet. The outside of the car was cold and hot inside, and a layer of fog was filled with the window glass.

Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi stood by the back door. He stood steadily against a pillar, his eyes kept looking out the window, and as he breathed, he burst into white air from his mouth. She stood in front of his chest, holding the pillar with one hand and gently hugging his waist with the other.

Someone squeezed through Pang Qian's back, forcing her to touch Gu Mingxi. Her upper body was almost tightly pressed against his chest. When she raised her head, she saw his shiny black eyes.

His eyes were so gentle, and the two were close together. Pang Qian saw her little self in his pupils. She suddenly realized that she was no longer a child and could no longer stick to Gu Mingxi as unscrupulously as before.

She stepped back a little, her face turned slightly red. Unexpectedly, someone squeezed behind her again. She suddenly couldn't stand firm and rushed forward. Because of inertia, her face hit Gu Mingxi's chest heavily.

"Be careful." His voice sounded in her ears, with a clear tone and gentle tone. Pang Qian looked up at him again, reached out to touch her painful nose, and whispered: "I know."

I don’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Gu Mingxi had a special smell, not a fragrance, and of course it was not a stink. It was just that it seemed like nothingness that made her close her eyes and know that the person around her was Gu Mingxi.

At such a moment, Pang Qian suddenly remembered the girl Gu Mingxi liked. Pang Qian knew him so well that Gu Mingxi had never been in a relationship, and the only scandal was rumored to her.

The girl lived in his heart quietly. He must liked her very much. He would look at her with gentle eyes and speak to her in a beautiful voice. In the studio far away from Pang Qian, he would probably call the girl's nickname intimately, tolerate all her naughty and troubledness, stay with her nervously and reservedly.

However, the girl didn't like him, she liked another boy. Pang Qian felt uneasy for Gu Mingxi, and secretly raised her eyes to look at him. He was so handsome, the kind of handsome that was completely different from Xie Yi.

Xie Yi is beautiful, with delicate facial features and delicate skin, and looks like a rich young man. Gu Mingxi is more arrogant than Xie Yiying. He has a brightly contoured face, deep eyebrows and eyes, thin lips and straight nose, so close that Pang Qian even saw the green beard on his chin.

She reached out to touch her curiously, and it was thorny. Gu Mingxi tilted his head to avoid it. Pang Qian smiled and said, "Oh, you have grown a beard."

He was speechless: "Even a man needs to grow a beard, okay?"

"Ye---man?" Pang Qian said with teasing, "Have you started shaving?"

"Yeah." He felt a little embarrassed, "It's been shaving for half a year."

"How to scrape it? Is it convenient?"

Gu Mingxi's voice was low: "It's okay, just like brushing his teeth, holding a razor with his feet, there's no problem."

Pang Qian covered her mouth and smiled for a while. Gu Mingxi's face became redder and redder, and her tone was hard: "Why are you laughing at?"

"Isn't it okay to laugh at me?"

"no!"

"Stingy!"

While the car arrived at the stop, Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi got off together. They had to walk for a while, and she helped him put on the raincoat.

He was too tall. In the past, she could still walk with him with an umbrella, but now, she really couldn't help him with an umbrella.

A bicycle passed by them quickly, and the people on the bike were very eye-catching because he was not wearing a raincoat. The rain wet his hair. He didn't care at all, but just rode the bike very fast and entered the school gate in a flash.

It's Xie Yi.
