In the past month, Gu Yixin and Lu Mingshi had gotten along quite well. They often walked together after school, because by chance they found out that their homes were very close to each other’s. But Gu Yixin’s family’s financial situation was not comparable to that of Lu Mingshi.

After a long time, Lu Mingshi got accustomed to the company of this classmate.

It was a pity that a good thing didn’t last forever as Gu Yixin had been refusing to go home with him for a while now.

Lu Mingshi didn’t care about it the first time but then he became more and more unhappy.

He realized that Gu Yixin was getting bored.

And the bad thing was.

He seemed to have just gotten used to all this.

When Lu Mingshi went to another school to play basketball, he offended a group of gangsters from the other school. He didn’t take it to heart. On this day, Lu Mingshi, who had finished playing, was walking home wilting.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure.

It was Gu Yixin, who was walking with…… Another boy.

That person also looked very familiar. Lu Mingshi stared — It was Wei Junsuan!

An inexplicable kind of bitterness attacked his heart deeply.

It turns out you have found a new good friend.

Wei Junshan…… Wei Junshan was naturally also a very good friend. Maybe they can talk more. Maybe he is not as boring as I am…… Lu Mingshi thought disheartened.

It just so happened that they were walking side by side at this time, and Lu Mingshi quickly hid in an alley on the side.

Then he felt a pain in his head, and his eyes went dark.

Some unknown villain attacked Lu Mingshi from behind with a wooden stick.

“A high school student who doesn’t know the heights of the heavens and the earth.” The leader laughed cruelly, “Take him away.”

Lu Mingshi was awakened by a basin of ice water.

He gradually regained consciousness. He was lying on a cold concrete floor.

As he opened and closed his eyes, he was clearly able to see that this was a deserted construction site. The sun had long since set and the night had already fallen. The temperature dropped rapidly — It was already very cold there, and the coldness of the ice water made him shiver even more, and the rapid loss of body heat made him fear death.

“Let him talk.”

The lackeys took away the rag from Lu Mingshi’s mouth. His hands and feet were bound, and he was thrown on the ground like a sack. His eyes fixed on the man who was standing not far away.

The one he taught on the basketball court…… Turned out to be a gangster.

Seeing what the man was holding, Lu Mingshi’s expression finally changed.

“What are you going to do?……”

He asked in a hoarse voice.

“Oh? I’m very keyed up about this worn-out notebook.” The man flipped through it disdainfully. His malicious voice was as soft as a snake, “Let me see…… What our good student has written in it……”

“Don’t look!” Lu Mingshi shouted with all his might, “Give it back to me! Give it back to me!”

He yelled at the top of his lungs in desperation.

Although reason told him that it was meaningless.

The man flipped through his notebook casually and his secrets were read out loud in that disgusting, squishy voice:

“His smile was so beautiful today. So beautiful that it made my heart a little numb, like an electric shock—” The man showed a disgusted expression, “So our good student is a gay ah. This is really an unexpected harvest. I do not know who this lucky guy is who has the bad luck of being your crush? Let me see……”

“Don’t look!” Lu Mingshi hissed……

But he did that in vain.

He had never hated himself so much. Why did he have the damn habit of keeping records? Why did he write down that guy’s contact information in it……

“Oh yeah.” That man said with malice, “This will make it lively. I’ll call your baby over and let him come see you, okay? Do you think he will come to rescue you when he hears that you are in danger?”

……

Don’t come. Lu Mingshi thought desperately.

The abandoned construction site was very quiet, and there was the sound of stagnant water falling on the ground upstairs.

“He said he would come right away and will not call the police.” The bad guy said in surprise, “Your little boyfriend seems to be so loyal to you that he doesn’t even care about his own life.”

“It’s just that I don’t know if he’s as resistant as you are.”

Lu Mingshi curled up shivering and the pain in his body told him that he had been taught a hard lesson while he was unconscious.

This group of people was too ruthless.

Of course, Gu Yixin would come. He was so good and honest. But Lu Mingshi didn’t want him to come at all.

Maybe he will regret it and turn back halfway.

That’s the best.

Don’t get hurt. Don’t get hurt because of me.

……

“Ah, here he comes.” The bad guy squinted his eyes and looked casually at the entrance.

The person bathed in moonlight walked into the dark place. He was thin, wearing a blue and white school uniform, and unarmed.

Even the lackeys couldn’t help but sigh. The power of love was really great.

Gu Yixin walked very fast, almost teleporting to the front of this group of people and everyone was amazed by this speed.

The Boss asked curiously, “Are you from around here?”

Gu Yixin reported an address that was an hour’s drive away.

“……”

“Liar.” A lackey couldn’t stand it anymore, “You came here by helicopter?”

“I ran here.” Gu Yixin raised his hand to wipe his sweat.

Everyone was silent for a while.

“Although he is good-looking, it’s a pity that he is a fool.” The Boss defined in his heart.

Gu Yixin didn’t care and asked directly, “How can you release him?”

The Boss said profoundly, “Beat me.”

Gu Yixin was relieved. Fortunately, they did not ask for money. He really had no money.

If they demanded payment, he could only forcefully beat all of them up.

It was certainly easier to fight head-to-head.

Gu Yixin said, “Come on then.”

The Boss picked up a wooden stick and threw it to him1Wrong move bro, wrong move. Because he felt that with this size, if he didn’t give the other person some weapons, he would be ashamed to talk about it in the future.

“I……” Just when the bad guy said a word of the villain speech that he had been thinking about for many years, Gu Yixin knocked him on the chest with the wooden stick.

“……”

The bad guy fell to the ground.

The lackeys were shocked, “Boss! Boss, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me, Boss! What’s wrong with you, Boss!”

When Gu Yixin picked up Lu Mingshi, he untied the rope for him. But felt that the man he picked up was as soft as the rope that tied him up.

The face of Gu Yixin immediately sank.

“They beat you up?”

Lu Mingshi hummed lightly.

Then we had to omit the five hundred words as the picture was too bloody and brutal to describe.

Gu Yixin sent the person to the hospital and took out the notebook that he had conveniently stuffed into his pocket at some point.

It could be said that the school uniform was good when It came to this. It was big enough and the pockets were also big. So much so that you couldn’t even see this big book when put in it.

He opened the book and read it page by page.

Gu Yixin didn’t like to read books, and he had never read the words written by others so carefully.

His complexion became very calm and soft.

A week later, Lu Mingshi returned to school.

It was another physical education class. This time Gu Yixin asked for a leave. He sat by the playground with Lu Mingshi, who was still unable to exercise. The breeze was blowing gently.

Lu Mingshi looked thoughtfully at the great school grass, Wei Junshan, who was playing basketball and surrounded by a group of girls cheering for him. He quickly glanced at Gu Yixin and was caught straight.

“What’s wrong?”

Lu Mingshi, “No, nothing.”

Gu Yixin followed Lu Mingshi’s gaze and saw that Wei Junshan had just completed a dunk.

“He’s playing well.” Gu Yixin said casually.

Lu Mingshi suddenly said, “I can play better than him.”

Gu Yixin scratched his head, not understanding why Lu Mingshi wanted to compare himself with Wei Junshan.

Lu Mingshi looked at him in a hurry, and emphasized, “I am really better than him.” After he said that, he wanted to walk over and compete with him regardless of his physical condition.

Gu Yixin quickly stopped him, “Yes, yes. You are better than him.”

Only then was Lu Mingshi satisfied.

But he still felt a little knotted thinking about the day he saw Gu Yixin and Wei Junsun walking side by side in perfect harmony.

“You and him.” Lu Mingshi finally asked, “What is your relationship with him?”

“It’s like this.” Gu Yixin volunteered to say, “One day he stopped me on the road and said that he was better at fighting than me, and he insisted on fighting with me. I was in a hurry to go to the toilet that day. So I told him to take me to the nearest toilet and then I would fight him.”

Lu Mingshi, “…… So?”

“Of course, I didn’t fight with him.” Gu Yixin said, “You will get demerits for fighting outside the school, and I’m not stupid.”

Lu Mingshi, “Then he didn’t pester you anymore?”

Gu Yixin, “How can it be? Of course, he still pestered me. I didn’t have any other way. So I solved the problem with him in the last PE class in which you didn’t come.”

He spoke calmly, but Wei Junshan, who accidentally saw him sitting there, turned pale.

Wei Junshan stood at attention and then stood at ease before bowing to Gu Yixin.

Gu Yixin waved his hand to show his friendliness.

Lu Mingshi felt it to be very novel. Wei Junshan had never seen anyone else in his eyes, and there was still this day!

But he quickly thought of another thing, “You will get a demerit for fighting that day at the construction site…… Are you not afraid of getting a demerit?”

Gu Yixin looked at him as if this was a very unnecessary question. His gaze was a little hot, a little different from usual. Lu Mingshi’s breathing became faster, and he was a little nervous.

“You……”

Gu Yixin stopped talking. He took out the notebook from his school uniform pocket.

Lu Mingshi was shocked, “You…… You saw it.”

“Hmm.” Gu Yixin said calmly.

Lu Mingshi took a deep breath and decided to explain clearly — He knew that it would be a super disrespectful thing to reject someone’s confession, but then go back on it when the other party no longer liked him.

“That’s not what I meant.” Lu Mingshi said.

“What do you mean?” Gu Yixin asked back.

Oops, Lu Mingshi thought, this guy has become smarter.

What else did he want to say, Gu Yixin had already returned the notebook to him.

The young man stood up with his hands in his pockets, covering the sun in front of Lu Mingshi, and said lazily, “The sun is good today. I’m going to the rooftop to bask in the sun.”

Lu Mingshi stayed in place.

The wind on this day was so strong that he squinted his eyes. He watched countless students running, jumping, and frolicking on the playground, chasing after each other, full of youthful vigor and enthusiasm.

In all corners of the campus, there must be many, many stories.

After a long time, Lu Mingshi opened the notebook, wanting to read it one last time, and then burn all the wrong thoughts.

His hand stopped on the title page, and there, under the name of “Lu Mingshi”, appeared three words that were not there before.

The handwriting was ugly. It bared fangs and brandished claws2make threatening gestures and had weird strokes.

“Me too.”

Lu Mingshi’s heart was pounding. He closed the book hard and ran to the rooftop quickly.
