you are with the light

Chapter 10

I really like him!

Gu Jinbei felt that this sentence was a bit harsh.He crumpled the note and stuffed it into the belly of the table.

When get out of class was over, he followed what his deskmate told him to lie down and pretend to sleep, but no girls really came to him.When it was time for class, his deskmate nudged him and handed him a note.

"My brother and Chen Ke are in the same ban. I've met him before. How do you think it's his?"

Gu Jinbei replied from the bottom, "He is my linju."

After a while, the deskmate asked him again, "Then can I go and play with you?"

Gu Jinbei could probably guess what she was thinking, so he rejected "my mother doesn't like people in the house".

This is the truth.Xia Yin has a strong sense of private domain, if Gu Jinbei brings someone home, she will be angry.

Gu Jinbei didn't dare to make her angry.

The deskmate did not return to him.When school was over in the evening, several boys blocked him in the classroom and beat him up.Gu Jinbei suffered inexplicably, but he didn't resist, he could only try his best to protect himself.

After the group of boys finished fighting, he heard someone say, "Get away from Liu Man!"

Who is Liu Man?Gu Jinbei thought about it, but didn't ask.He doesn't care much about these.He picked up the schoolbag that was covered in ashes on the ground, patted the ashes off, and carried it on his back again.

The boys threatened him after the beating: "Don't tell your parents! If you let them know, you will die!"

Gu Jinbei is not afraid of this threat, but he is afraid that Xia Yin will know.Xia Yin would taunt him, beat him after the taunting, and finally go to school to teach those who bullied her a lesson.

Xia Yin's lessons are usually not simple slapstick.

Gu Jinbei walked home, and on the way he suddenly realized that Liu Man might be his new tablemate.His new tablemate is so cute that boys will like it.

So, will Chen Ke like it?

Thinking of this, Gu Jinbei ran into Chen Ke at the intersection.Chen Ke was still the same as he had seen before, beautiful and flamboyant, like a star, dazzling and dazzling.

When the two met at the intersection, they both froze in surprise.

"Brother Chen..." Gu Jinbei spoke first, but he didn't know what to say in the middle of the drive.

Chen Ke nodded and saw that his white shirt was dusty, so he asked, "Why is the clothes dirty?"

Gu Jinbei looked down, reached out and patted: "I fell down."

His expression was too natural, so Chen Ke didn't think much about it.As soon as he raised his foot to move forward, the child called him, "Brother Chen."

Gu Jinbei walked up to him, trying to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.He said: "That day, my stepfather took our family out to play. It was a temporary decision. You know, my mother wants me to go, and I dare not make her angry."

Chen Ke said, "It's okay."

He didn't take it very seriously at first, but Gu Jinbei explained it to him, and he felt more relaxed.

"Are you angry?" Gu Jinbei said cautiously, "Don't be angry, okay?"

"I don't." Chen Ke raised his hand and rubbed his head. It was as soft as expected, and it made his palms itch.

Gu Jinbei just smiled, his little canine teeth protruding from the corners of his lips, showing that the master is also in a good mood: "Then, I'll go find you next time, okay?"

"Okay." Chen Ke took his hand and walked home, and heard Gu Jinbei ask him, "Brother Chen, do you have anyone you like?"

Chen Ke thought for a while: "Yes."

Gu Jinbei twisted, and asked him in an unwilling tone: "What kind of person is it?"

"My mother." Chen Ke said, "She is the best person in the world."

"What about me?" Gu Jinbei asked casually, kicking off a small stone at his feet.

"You are a very cute person." As Chen Ke said, he thought of his little canine teeth, which were small and pointed, like thorns on rose petals. Stab each other.

Gu Jinbei is actually not satisfied with this answer, but it is not bad for them now.

"You will find out in the future," Gu Jinbei said, as if he had made some kind of decision, "I have other good things besides being cute."

"Really." Chen Ke said, "Then I'll wait."

The twilight of dusk fell on the two of them, and the fine dust was flying in the air. Their shadows on the ground were slowly elongated. Sometimes they were close to each other, and sometimes they were separated from each other, but in the end they were holding each other's hands of.

Gu Jinbei said goodbye to Chen Ke at the door, he pushed open the door, the aroma of food permeated at that moment, Gu Jinbei hesitated when he stepped into the room, and only stepped in when he saw Xia Yin.

Sitting at the dining table, Xia Yin was rarely in a good mood.She waved at Gu Jinbei: "Today your father will cook for us."

Gu Jinbei was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicable and a little novel.He put his schoolbag back in the room and ran into the kitchen. His stepfather was busy in the kitchen. Gu Jinbei asked him, "Do you need my help?"

The stepfather raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then turned his head and smiled at Gu Jinbei, "Go and sit with your mother and wait, I will finish it soon."

Gu Jinbei nodded, but still stepped forward to help him.He is so familiar with doing these things that even his stepfather would praise him: "Xiaobei is awesome!"

The stepfather's cooking skills were not very good, but they were not bad either. The three of them sat together and ate happily, and it felt like home.

Gu Jinbei has never really felt the so-called "feeling of home". He seemed to be born as a piece of driftwood, wandering in the water, without a foothold, and without belonging, but this meal softened his heart, and his heart seemed to be reborn again. The light came on.

At such a good time, it would be even better if Chen Ke was by his side.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinbei took a few mouthfuls of rice and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

Chen Ke doesn't like going to school.

He stared at the teacher on the podium, but his thoughts wandered outside the classroom.He can lie in bed for a day, but he doesn't want to suffer even a moment in the classroom.

After class was over, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had gained a new life.The classroom is very stuffy, even the rattling fan can't blow away the summer heat.Chen Ke picked up a book and fanned it, but it felt even hotter.

Chen Ke stood up and called Lu Weijian to the canteen. Lu Weijian lay on the table weakly and said, "When I move, I feel sweat dripping like rain. Brother, bring me a bottle of ice water."

Chen Ke nodded and walked out alone.Just after leaving the classroom door, Sun Jiani stopped him: "Chen Ke, are you going to the commissary?"

Chen Ke said, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going too," Sun Jiani walked up to him and wanted to join him, "Let's go together."

Chen Ke had no reason to refuse, so he walked towards the stairs with her.After taking a step, I heard Lu Weijian say, "Wait for me."

He walked to Chen Ke's side in two or three steps, and held his shoulders as brothers: "I'm going to buy a bottle of water too."

Chen Ke knew what he was thinking, so he didn't expose him, and even took the initiative to walk over and let him walk next to Sun Jiani.

"Didn't you just ask Chen Ke to bring you water? Why are you going to buy it with him again now?" Sun Jiani mercilessly pierced through his words, frowning when she said it.

"I'm thinking about it now." Lu Weijian said, he couldn't help showing a smirk at the person he liked, but Sun Jiani couldn't laugh.

On the way, Sun Jiani walked around to Chen Ke again, and kept looking for topics to chat with him. Chen Ke responded flatly, even a little impatiently, but Lu Weijian kept answering the calls all the way, giving Sun Jiani one step after another.

Entering the canteen, Chen Ke picked out a small pudding, Sun Jiani followed suit, and Lu Weijian followed closely behind.Sun Jiani glanced at Lu Weijian, and choked on him: "Didn't you say you wanted to buy water?"

"Can I change my mind when we get there?" Lu Weijian asked them with a small pudding, "I'm going to treat you, do you want it?"

Sun Jiani said no, but Chen Ke handed over the pudding naturally: "I invite you to eat at noon."

After Lu Weijian finished speaking, he turned around and asked Sun Jiani: "Do you want to have dinner with us at noon today? Chen Ke treats you."

Sun Jiani glanced at Chen Ke with shy eyes, lowered her head and said yes.

Lu Weijian suddenly felt uncomfortable.

On the way back, Sun Jiani was still looking for topics to chat with Chen Ke, and even Gu Jinbei got involved: "That little brother choked on water that day, is it okay? I was still worried when I got home..."

Chen Ke said: "It's okay." He didn't want to talk about this topic again, and turned to Lu Weijian: "Lu Weijian's father gave him an old bicycle, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Bicycle!" Sun Jiani yelled, and her gaze fell on Lu Weijian, "You got a bicycle!"

Lu Weijian was proud of himself, but nodded without showing it on his face: "Ah, yes, if you are free, you can come to my house, and I will teach you."

"Okay." Sun Jiani said, then looked at Chen Ke, "Are you going? You should also learn from it. In the future, you will pick up your girlfriend. It's so cool."

Lu Weijian said: "He has learned it a long time ago."

Chen Ke nodded: "I won't go, anyway, I'll just stand there, it's boring."

"How boring!" Sun Jiani argued, "You can teach me, you must be very good at riding a bicycle!"

"It's amazing!" Lu Weijian chimed in, "Chen Ke learned it in a day, and he can ride with one hand. I..." He suddenly realized that something was wrong, as if he had belittled himself invisibly, and closed his mouth.

Sun Jiani looked at Chen Ke expectantly at this moment: "Master, please teach me."

Master Chen shook his head: "Don't bark, I won't go."

Sun Jiani didn't give up, she went all the way, and didn't stop until she got to the classroom.Lu Weijian asked her how she was going this Saturday, Sun Jiani shook her head: "I have an appointment with my best friend to go shopping, and I don't have time."

Lu Weijian smiled and scratched his head: "Then when are you free, come and find me."

"Okay." Sun Jiani said perfunctorily, "Success."

The deskmate passed a note to Gu Jinbei again today. Gu Jinbei opened the note and asked him what he had for lunch today.

The elementary school will have lunch for two and a half hours at noon, and some students will go home to eat. Gu Jinbei's home is not far from the school, but Xia Yin will give him a meal and let him go out to eat.

Gu Jinbei told her the truth.

The note at the same table came back after a while, asking him to eat noodles at noon, Gu Jinbei remembered the beating he received yesterday, so he refused.

After the class, the deskmate was lying on the table, and did not get up after the class.The teacher who came in pointed at the same table and said, "Who is this? Why are you lying on your stomach? Is it uncomfortable?"

The eyes of the whole class fell on the two of them. The tablemate was motionless, shaking his shoulders from time to time. Gu Jinbei sat upright, but felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

The person in the front row at the same table pushed her: "Xiao Man, what's wrong with you?"

The trembling at the same table became even bigger, and whimpers came from his arms.she is crying.

The teacher walked over quickly, gently pushed her shoulder, lowered her head slightly, and asked her what was wrong with concern.

The deskmate raised a face flushed from crying, with snot and tears hanging all over her face, she stumbled and said, "He bullied me..."

"Who?"

The deskmate stretched out a hand and pointed at Gu Jinbei without hesitation: "He bullied me!"

At that moment, Gu Jinbei was stunned.He didn't seem to understand the meaning of her words, but he knew exactly what she was talking about.

I do not have……

He wanted to make an excuse, but the moment he said it, he felt that it was unnecessary.The teacher looked at him with condemnation in his eyes, and the classmates looked at him with disgust in their eyes.

None of them needed his explanation, and they were unwilling to accept his explanation. They had already condemned him before his explanation.

Gu Jinbei didn't say a word because he knew it well.

Xia Yin came very slowly, like an elite woman who strayed into the school, she walked into the office with elegant and steady steps, her eyes turned around in the classroom, and finally fell on Gu Jinbei.

With just such a glance, Gu Jinbei seemed to have fallen into a huge bubble, and everything from the outside world was cut off, leaving only Xia Yin's cruel eyes.

"That's it...it's not my son...Xiaobei, come here." Xia Yin's voice brought Gu Jinbei back to the world for a short time, he stood where he was, and when he saw Xia Yin waving at him, he walked over.

"Tell the teacher, you didn't bully your classmates, did you?"

Teacher Tu took Gu Jinbei's hand and said earnestly, "Please explain clearly what's going on. Teacher believes in you."

Gu Jinbei liked Teacher Tu, and when he saw her, he felt trust and sincere intimacy, so he stumbled and said the contents of the small note.

This was just an innocuous little fight, and Liu Man herself admitted that it was because she was rejected and felt embarrassed that she cried.

She said this with a look of grievance: "Isn't this called bullying? Isn't this bullying?"

"Little girl," Xia Yin said from the side, "The real bullying is to push you to the ground and beat you to death until you can't stand up or speak, you know that?"

Liu Man stared at her with wide eyes, Xia Yin said, "Do you want to try?"

Teacher Tu forced a smile from the side: "Mother Gu, stop joking."

The little girl's mother shouted from the side: "What do you mean? What else do you want after talking about it?"

"It's okay." Xia Yin said, she opened her hand and looked at her newly-made nails. The diamonds on them were beautiful and shiny.

She said: "Little girl, keep your mouth shut, or you will grow up, and you will be those gossiping women on the street who think they are reasonable, but they are really ugly. Do you want to be that kind of person?" Her sharp eyes pierced Liu Man, Liu Man was so frightened that she almost cried: "I know... I know."
