There is a girl named Xia Tong

Chapter 3

Although it is the end of August, the weather is still hot and dry.

And the noisy cicadas on the sycamore tree in the yard added to the restlessness in the afternoon.

Gu Xuanmu sat under the shade of a tree and carefully cleaned the strawberries.

When she was done, she went into the house and carefully put the strawberries one by one into the beautiful little basket.Auntie Bai Xiaowu next door is going to invite Xuan Mu and mother to dinner today, and mother said it would be better to prepare a little gift.

Looking at those delicate red strawberries, Gu Xuanmu suddenly remembered that bohemian boy the night before yesterday, with his cold lips and ironed tongue.

A burst of cold hit his heart, and Gu Xuanmu began to tremble uncontrollably again.

Those mocking jokes and whistles, his smug sneering eyes, the falling tissues.

Tears of grievances fell down again involuntarily.

Gu Xuanmu felt sore, he didn't make any big mistakes, why did he have to be humiliated by a group of ruffians who usually despise him the most?
At this time, my mother came out of the back room.Gu Xuanmu hastily wiped away the tears on his face, and looked back at his mother with a smile on his face.Don't make mom worry, that's the most important thing.

Mom asked with a smile, "Xuanmu, are you done washing?"

Gu Xuanmu nodded, thought for a while, and felt that he was not interested, so he asked again: "Can I not go?"

"How can I do that?" Mom patted her head and said, "Auntie Xiaowu likes you the most, doesn't she? If you don't go, she will think you have something to say!"

Gu Xuanmu then stopped talking.

Mom took a look at her, as if she really looked listless, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong at school?"

Xuan Mu smiled, shook his head, and made up a reason: "I just don't feel familiar with Zhong Bai, but I'm in the class next door, so it's not awkward or awkward, it feels weird."

"Oh..." Mom couldn't help laughing, "Hey, Xuanmu is still so shy! Haha!"

Xuan Mu lowered his head and smiled sheepishly, but heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Auntie Bai Xiaowu's neighbor's house is almost the same as other houses in this alley, a two-story house with a large courtyard.

The difference is that the walls of her courtyard are covered with rose flowers, and the delicate pink petals are set off by the dark green egg-shaped leaves, which are extraordinarily lovable.

Those flowers and leaves are layered upon layers, densely packed, like curtains woven from layers of flowers and leaves.

When Xuan Mu moved here, she fell in love with the roses on the wall next door, especially when the wind blows, there will be bursts of petal rain here, pink and white, the whole world Become crystal clear and transparent.

Because of the courtyard wall of Aunt Xiaowu's house, the front of her house and Xuan Mu's house are always covered with layers of rose petals.Every time Xuanmu walks on it, I feel that the bluestone slab suddenly becomes soft, and I feel very novel and happy in my heart.

Although she has been a neighbor for several years, Xuan Mu has never been in Aunt Bai Xiaowu's house.Because the members of their family seem to be away from home all the time, and their life patterns are different from those of the residents here.

They just greet each other when they meet, and sometimes Auntie Xiaowu will chat with her mother for a while through the courtyard wall.

Once, Auntie Xiaowu was chatting with her mother, and it happened to be back from school in the evening.

Aunt Xiaowu saw the school badge on Xuan Mu's chest and said, "Hey, Xuan Mu, why does your school badge look so similar to Zhong Bai's?"

Xuan Mu was delighted when he heard it: "Auntie Xiaowu, Zhong Bai and I are in the same school! I'm in class one and he's in class two."

Xuan Mu was overjoyed, neighbors for more than a year, Aunt Xiao Wu didn't even know that she and his son were in the same school.She has always been so-so like a child, while Zhong Bai is gentle and steady like a little adult, which makes Xuanmu feel very novel.

Moreover, when Gu Xuanmu saw her for the first time, he stared blankly at her for a long time, because she was probably in her thirties, about the same age as her own mother, but she looked so young and elegant, like a Like big sister.

After entering the yard, Xuan Mu found out that their yard is not only more beautiful than other homes on the outside, but even more so on the inside.

The yard of their house is a piece of green grass, and there is a cobbled path windingly connecting the yard gate and the house.There is a small pool of water in the corner on the left, and thin schools of unknown colored fish swim in the water.

Opposite the pool is a pure wooden basketball hoop, smooth and textured, looking at it, Xuan Mu felt an urge to touch it.

On the lawn on the right, there is a big tree with a thick trunk. I don't know how many springs and autumns it took to grow so thick and straight.Its green branches stretched out freely, embracing the house tenderly like a big hand.

Below the tree is a white marble stone table surrounded by four wide and long stone chairs.Xuan Mu thought, in summer like this, it should be very cool to sleep on it!
Their family is definitely not simple!
After entering the room, Xuan Mu realized that his guess was right.

Wooden floors, beige walls, various hanging pictures, exquisite decoration.

From the interior decoration, it can be seen that this is a wealthy family, which is hard to see in this community.

Only then did Gu Xuanmu remember that at school, Sisi and the others were always discussing that from Zhong Bai's usual attire, it could be seen that he should be a child of a rich family.At that time, Xuan Mu did not express any objection, because he looked more noble than ordinary high school students no matter in appearance, clothes or gestures.

Gu Xuanmu sat awkwardly on the leather sofa, feeling himself sinking uncontrollably, his heart trembled suddenly.The sofa was soft, and she touched it casually, thinking that the sofa at Xiaoxian's house didn't seem to be as good.

Xuan Mu was in a daze for a moment, and didn't pay attention to what her mother and Aunt Xiao Wu were talking about.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Auntie Xiaowu looking at him with a smile, Gu Xuanmu's heart trembled.

Auntie Xiaowu smiled gently: "Xuanmu is getting more and more beautiful! You and my Zhong Bai are in the same grade, right?"

Gu Xuanmu nodded.

Bai Xiaowu smiled slightly: "By the way, I remember you are still from the same school!"

Gu Xuanmu replied shyly: "Yes."

Bai Xiaowu was a little happy: "What a hardworking child!" After thinking about it, she smiled comfortably: "My nephew has been studying in No. [-] Middle School, and now he has finally decided to transfer to No. [-] Middle School, so he also moved here not long ago. That's it. In this way, we have another alumnus of yours in our family!"

While talking, a handsome boy came down the stairs. He was wearing a white T-shirt and brown slacks. He looked like a refreshing boy.

Bai Xiaowu said with a smile: "Zhong Bai, you know each other."

Zhong Bai sat next to Xiao Wu, and politely greeted Gu's mother, "Hello, Auntie!"

Mama Gu smiled and nodded.

Then, he turned to look at Gu Xuanmu: "Hello!" He smiled gently, just like his mother, with a warm smile.Gu Xuanmu replied, "Hello!"

Gu Xuanmu and Zhong Bai often meet each other. After all, they are in the next class and neighbors, so they will inevitably be a little more careful.

What's more, Zhong Bai is a person who is easy to notice.

He can be regarded as a man of the hour in school.

he looks good;

He has excellent academic performance and is proficient in all activities;
He treats people with sincerity, and teachers and classmates like him very much;
He has a girlfriend, she's a punk...

The first points are obvious to all, and the last point is widely rumored.Everyone said so, but few people had seen it, and no one had asked him, and he did not comment on the matter. In Xiaoxian's words, he did not deny it.

Gu Xuanmu didn't want to believe it.

Because she has a good impression of Zhong Bai, she doesn't want and doesn't want such a good boy to have anything to do with a gangster, especially a female gangster, she is simply willing to degenerate!

But no matter what, Gu Xuanmu still unconsciously liked this family very much.

But this feeling soon ceased.

Just as Gu's mother was about to say something, she heard the sound of someone opening the door, and everyone in the room looked over there.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhong Bai smiled: "Chenyu is back!"

Bai Xiaowu also poked her head over and asked, "Is it Chenyu?" Even though she knew that the person couldn't see the expression on her face at this time, Auntie Xiaowu still smiled, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Gu Xuanmu looked at Aunt Xiaowu and thought, Aunt Xiaowu must like that area very much!
"En!" Xu Chenyu replied sullenly, and walked in.

Basketball shoes, whitish jeans, a red shirt, a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, an indifferent expression, a wisp——

—Purple, hair.

Gu Xuanmu was startled, as if struck by lightning, she stared at him with wide eyes.

It turned out to be him!

The boy who was knocked down the night before,

The boy who humiliated himself the night before.

What a joke God is!
I thought that I would never see him again in this life, but he became a neighbor, a classmate of a school.Although Xuan Mu hated God to the core at this moment, he had no choice but to pray to him, don't let this boy be in the same class as him!
Gu Xuanmu was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, hoping that it would be impossible for him not to see him.

But Xu Chenyu really didn't seem to see her, he glanced at the living room, saw that there was a guest, and ran upstairs without saying a word.

Bai Xiaowu laughed softly: "My nephew is just too shy and shy."

Gu's mother also laughed: "Children of this age are like this, but your nephew is really handsome!"

Gu Xuanmu was furious in his heart, for such an impolite child, Auntie Xiao Wu still protected him so much, without any intention of blaming him.

Perhaps, that Xu Chenyu concealed himself very well at home!

The originally soft sofa suddenly seemed to grow countless needlepoints, and Gu Xuanmu was restless for the next time.

Even more so at dinner time.

It turned out that Xu Chenyu really didn't see Gu Xuanmu before, so when he came down from the upstairs and saw Xuan Mu in the restaurant, he was also taken aback, but soon smiled strangely.

His eyes were as deep as the gray twilight of that night.

Xuan Mu didn't dare to look at him, just lowered his head and ate mechanically.

The others seemed to be chatting while eating, but she couldn't hear a word.She just felt that every mouthful of food was so hard to swallow, and her heart was heavy, like falling into a swamp, struggling desperately but eventually sinking powerlessly.

On the first day of the new semester, Gu Xuanmu got up early and got ready to go to school.

But as soon as he went out, he saw Xu Chenyu coming back from a run, as if he had just finished his morning exercise.

There are a few strands of hair on his forehead obediently sticking to his skin. There is a thin layer of sweat on his face, but it doesn't make people feel like sweating profusely. However, his cheeks have a vibrant red color, which makes his complexion particularly pleasing to the eyes.

Xu Chenyu, who was wearing sportswear, lost his usual rascal air, and looked as clean as he who fell to the ground that day.

Gu Xuanmu thought to himself, this is what is often said that the first glance is not necessarily accurate!At that time, I thought he was a good boy, but I didn't expect... Gu Xuanmu's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

As soon as I looked up and saw his purple hair, I was angry, with inexplicable resentment.

But Xu Chenyu didn't seem to notice her icy face. When he saw Gu Xuanmu, he stopped slowly and said lightly, "It's so early!"

But Gu Xuanmu didn't plan to pay attention to him at all.At this moment, she was like a female soldier carrying a sword and gun to go to the battlefield. She clenched her schoolbag tightly, raised her head upright, looked straight ahead, and walked past Xu Chenyu.

This response obviously angered Xu Chenyu.
