Chapter 15 What the fuck are you talking about

"..."

Gu Xuanlang thought of something following Gu Yanci's words, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"You..." he said viciously, "You are not allowed to tell others that I am your younger brother!"

"Okay." Gu Yanci agreed very readily, "From tomorrow onwards, whenever you see Li Mianmian, you will have to take a detour. If I hear that she met you someday, then every time your mother holds a parent-teacher meeting, I can hear people saying that you are not as good as me."

"..."

Gu Xuanlang didn't answer immediately.

His heavy breathing sounded in the narrow space, and he sounded a little angry.

After a long time, he whispered, "You hate me that much."

"Huh?" Gu Yanci kept smiling, "What stupid things are you talking about?"

"What does Li Mianmian have to do with you? It's like being a treasure." Gu Xuanlang's voice was actually aggrieved, "You are like an enemy to me..."

"Where did you get the illusion?" Gu Yanci's face turned cold, "You and I are enemies from the beginning."

Gu Xuanlang immediately shouted excitedly: "That's my mother—"

In the middle of shouting, he seemed to be strangled by someone, and he couldn't continue speaking.

After a while, he choked his throat and said, "It's not me..."

"So, I said it." Gu Yanci looked at him expressionlessly, "If you don't take the initiative to provoke me, I don't want to have any contact with you. Strangers are better than enemies? I avoid you, I hope you You can also avoid me, we don't mess with the river. I have a lot of things to do, I don't have time to play with you every day, can you understand people's words?"

Gu Xuanlang clenched his fists tightly, and the back of his hand was almost bruised.

He looked at Gu Yanci bitterly for a moment, then turned his head away in silence.

As soon as he left, Gu Yanci immediately frowned, and stayed where he was for a few minutes before leaving.
-
At night, when Li Mianmian had just finished taking a shower and was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep, there was a knock on the door.

At this point in time, it is very likely that it was Gu Yanci.

She ran over excitedly to open the door, and she saw Gu Yanci standing outside.

Most of the dim light in the stairwell was blocked by him, and against the light, his complexion looked very gloomy.

But the eyes are still gentle.

"Are you scared today?"

Gu Yanci rubbed her head, then handed out a small box, and explained in a very soft voice: "Gu Xuanlang has some conflicts with my brother, and I know you have a good relationship with my brother, so I will trouble you. Today I blame my brother for everything, so my brother came to apologize to Mumu."

"Is he your brother?" Li Mianmian asked.

"It doesn't count." Gu Yanci said, "Besides the same surname, he doesn't have much relationship with my brother."

"Oh." Li Mianmian nodded, "That's because he's just pretending to be affectionate."

Gu Yanci couldn't help laughing.

Li Mianmian took the box, and inside was a crystal ball with a snow-white polar bear in it. Turn it upside down, and you can see white snowflakes flying.

"Do you like it?" Gu Yanci asked.

"like."

Li Mianmian hugged the box tightly, remained silent, raised her head and said, "But what happened today is not my brother's fault, but Gu Xuanlang's. What does what he does have anything to do with my brother?"

Gu Yanci: "He scared you because of my brother."

"That has nothing to do with you." Li Mianmian felt anxious and irritable for no reason, and her voice involuntarily increased, "The bad things done by others have nothing to do with my brother!"

Gu Yanci was slightly taken aback.

In the bedroom, Li's father and Li's mother were watching TV. Hearing the movement, Li Changfeng poked his head out and asked, "Mianmian, what's wrong?"

Gu Yanci came back to his senses, and quickly said: "Ah, Uncle Li, it's me."

"Xiao Yan?" Li Changfeng asked, "Come in and sit for a while?"

"No, I'm going back now."

After Gu Yan finished his resignation, he bowed and said to Li Mianmian, "Then brother leaves first."

"Wait a minute!" Li Mianmian grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"...Huh?" Gu Yanci bowed his head.

"Brother, can you stop buying me things all the time?" Li Mianmian said, "Although I like them very much, brother should use the money to buy food for himself. Mom said you still have to grow."

Gu Yanci smiled: "My brother is not that poor."

Li Mianmian bit her lip, afraid that talking too much would make him unhappy, so she didn't continue the topic, and said instead: "Also, I'm not scared today, I'm not afraid of rats. I'm just afraid that he will fight with me in the future , I can't beat it, so I went to find you."

"En." Gu Yanci nodded, "You did the right thing."

"But I didn't mean to blame you." Li Mianmian said sullenly, "Don't blame yourself."

Gu Yanci looked at the soft and fluffy hair on the top of her head, and said after a few seconds: "Okay, brother knows."
-
The next day, when Li Mianmian walked to the school gate, she suddenly remembered what Teacher Song said yesterday.

Judging from the meaning of those words, it seems that Gu Xuanlang's grades are pretty good.

She let go of Nan Shengsheng's hand, trotted and said, "I'll go and see the commendation list."

"Ah?" Nan Shengsheng followed, "Why are you looking at the commendation list?"

Li Mianmian didn't answer. Looking from the front, he quickly found Gu Xuanlang's name, and it was actually the fifth one.

"Who are you looking at?" Nan Shengsheng asked curiously.

"An enemy." Li Mianmian said angrily, "I must pass him!"

Following her line of sight, Nan Shengsheng saw Gu Xuanlang's name, and said in surprise: "Hey—is this Gu Xuanlang Gu Yanci's younger brother? He was the one who scared you with dead rats yesterday?"

"Ah."

Li Mianmian nodded, then shook her head and said, "But he's not my brother's brother."

"What?" Nan Shengsheng pointed to the commendation list and asked, "But don't they have the same surname?"

"Brother said no." Li Mianmian bared her teeth, "Then it's definitely not!"
-
Hate always seems to be deeper than love, and Gu Xuanlang's achievements gave Li Mianmian a stronger motivation.

So when she was doing homework with Gu Yanci on weekends, she offered to buy extracurricular exercise sets to do.

From then on, she was either drawing pictures or doing problems with her head stuck in her head all day long. She didn't even go when Nan Shengsheng asked her to go out to play.

After school started, Gu Yanci was much busier than in summer vacation, and she could only spend half a day with her on weekends.

He also gave Li Mianmian a key so that she could go there by herself when she wanted to paint.

Li Mianmian felt that she and Gu Yanci hadn't been together for a few times, and it was the first monthly exam in a blink of an eye.

She has been studying very hard since the beginning of school, and she usually feels very good when she does exercises. She thought that she could surpass Gu Xuanlang in this exam, but when the results came out, she only got in the top 30.

But Gu Xuanlang took the second place.

After learning the result, Li Mianmian was very upset, and comforted herself in her heart that she would definitely surpass him next time.

Parents are very happy, because she has improved by [-] places compared to last time, and she has also passed the exam so far.

Before bringing her home, the couple thought she would be the tail end of the car.

The two attributed this matter to Gu Yanci's tutoring, and wanted to treat him to a meal, but he kept saying that he didn't have time, so they had no choice but to let it go.

Lan Qingwan thought that Gu Yanci was embarrassed, so she deliberately found a reason to evade it.

But Li Mianmian knew that he was really busy.

Recently, she couldn't even stay with Gu Yanci on weekends.

He was always out of the house by the time the morning passed, and it was late at night before he could hear his footsteps going upstairs.

Li Mianmian realized more clearly and profoundly that Gu Yanci was really different from ordinary kids like them, and also different from those students in his class.

When everyone was still a young seedling sheltered by their parents, he had already grown into a towering giant tree by himself.

Li Mianmian began to look forward to the arrival of winter vacation as soon as possible.

After the winter vacation, Gu Yanci might be able to relax a bit.

One semester is not fast, but it is not slow.

After the end of the final exam, the students in the junior high school will start their winter vacation, and the students in the third grade of senior high school will have to make up classes until the final grades are released in more than ten days before they can go on vacation.

As for the high school, except for senior one, senior two, and senior three, all make-up classes.

Li Yan went to his grandparents' house as soon as the winter vacation was over, and Li Mianmian also stayed there for two days, but he always felt uncomfortable.

When she was first found, she went to see the two elderly people for the first time. They were all very kind to her, but after all, they hadn't seen her for more than ten years, and they didn't stay together every day. After all, they were still a little strange.

Moreover, the house in her hometown is very small, which is not convenient for her to do her homework, so she came back with her parents after a weekend.

When she got home, Li Mianmian could only stay alone during the day. Without Gu Yanci to cook her lunch, Lan Qingwan gave money to the small restaurant downstairs and asked Li Mianmian to eat directly at noon.

Lan Qingwan pays a lot of money, and the small restaurant cooks a lot of dishes, and she can't finish it, which feels like a waste.

Later, she had an idea, and asked the boss to pack a dish every day, and then ran to the school with the meal in hand, walked through the building of the first year of high school, and delivered food to Gu Yanci at the second year of high school.

Lan Qingwan also knew about this, and praised her for being grateful.

At first Gu Yanci refused very much, but Li Mianmian was stubborn, and he couldn't bear to criticize her, so he had to let her go.

There are too many meals delivered, and classmates will occasionally make fun of him, saying that it is like getting a little daughter-in-law.

If it was before, they would never make such a joke.

Because just one semester ago, Li Mianmian still had the appearance of bean sprouts. Although careful observation of the facial features showed that she was a little beauty, the sallow complexion and emaciation caused by malnutrition looked really shabby.

However, the child grows up fast, and after several months of raising her, Li Mianmian has not only become a lot more youthful, but also has grown a lot in height, to the extent that there are several boys in the class who secretly fall in love with her.

Gu Yanci was indifferent, and everyone dared not make jokes in front of him, but he couldn't stop people from gossiping behind their backs.

So the next day when Li Mianmian delivered food, he brought up the old story again and told her not to deliver any more.

Li Mianmian didn't know what he did wrong, so he asked aggrievedly: "Does my brother hate me for being so clingy to you?"

Gu Yanci was speechless for a while, then sighed: "Forget it, you can send it if you want."

Anyway, those jokes would not reach her ears.

After returning home, Li Mianmian reflected on herself and felt that she seemed to be playing a rascal.

She is really getting more and more proud of being favored.

Gu Yanci is like a soft sponge, as if it can be pressed to the extreme, and it will always be able to compromise a little more, give in a little more, and tolerate a little more.
-
More than ten days later, the final grades finally came out, and there was a parent-teacher meeting on the day of receiving the report card. Li Mianmian went to school with Lan Qingwan early in the morning.

The commendation list for the final exam had already been posted. The two of them had just arrived at the gate and hadn't even entered the school when they saw the big photos in front of them.

Lan Qingwan stared intently for a while, then took Li Mianmian's hand and asked, "Mianmian, do you see if it's you in that photo?"

Li Mianmian looked over, and the first photo on the commendation list seemed to be the one-inch photo she handed in.

But... the first one?
Li Mianmian couldn't believe it, let go of Lan Qingwan's hand and ran over there.

In the large photo at the top of the triangle, it is indeed her from more than four months ago.

Gu Yanci took her to take this photo. She handed in two student ID cards when the school started. She never expected that photo would appear here one day.

Li Mianmian thought many times that he would be the first in the exam and surpass that scoundrel Gu Xuanlang.

But her results in the previous monthly exams were all outside the top ten. She didn't have much hope this time, and she told herself to fight again next semester...

Thinking of this, she immediately looked back, and Gu Xuanlang's photo was just below her, No.2.

The second and third photos are juxtaposed, smaller than No.1.

Li Mianmian was so happy that she jumped up, turned her head and shouted at Lan Qingwan: "Mom! I really got the first place in the exam!"

"Oh! Really?!" Lan Qingwan trotted over with her bag, regardless of whether she was still wearing high heels.

Li Mianmian turned around and stared at her photo again, suddenly feeling a little sore in her nose.

On the first day of school, she stood here with Gu Yanci, and once said that she would post his photo in the same place.

Now that she has done it, she is not as satisfied as she imagined.

Because even if they are all number one, the gap between her and Gu Yanci is still very large.

After the first monthly exam, she went to the second year of high school to look at it, and Gu Yanci's photo was indeed the first one.

However, during the half-term exam, Gu Yanci was no longer on the commendation list, and Li Mianmian didn't see him from the first to the hundredth.

She thought he made a mistake in the exam and forgot to apply the machine to read the card or something, but when she asked, Gu Yanci said that he didn't take the exam at all.

He is an Olympiad student, so he doesn't have to take the monthly exam.

Li Mianmian secretly asked Gu Yanci's classmate named Xu Tingmo what an Osaisheng was, and then she knew that Gu Yanci's intelligence was different from that of ordinary people.

He is top-notch smart, even in the best high school in the city, and in the best class, he is looked up to by everyone.

Li Mianmian never felt that she was so far away from Gu Yanci.

After knowing that she got the first place in the exam, she only narrowed the distance between herself and Gu Yanci a little bit in her heart.

After today, her goal will change from being the first in the exam to participating in the Olympiad.
-
The parent meeting does not require the presence of the students. After getting the report card, Li Mianmian secretly went to the sophomore to find Gu Yanci.

I heard that the second year of high school is also holding a parent meeting today. She thought she could come to school with him, but for some reason he left home early.

As soon as I arrived at the high school, the radio suddenly rang. A female student said a few opening words, and then said that the principal would be invited to speak next.

Li Mianmian suddenly realized that the parent meeting was held together in the second year of middle and high school because the principal was too lazy to speak twice.

Immediately afterwards, the principal's voice echoed throughout the campus.

Li Mianmian felt a little nervous in this voice, and did not dare to straighten her back after entering the teaching building.

She quietly ran against the wall to Gu Yanci's classroom, estimated Xu Tingmo's location, and then poked her head out of the window sill.

But she forgot that Xu Tingmo was not sitting in Xu Tingmo's seat today, but his parents.

Raising her eyes and seeing a group of adults in the dark, she was terrified, and quickly shrank back and leaned against the wall to breathe.

As the class monitor, Xu Tingmo needs to stay in the class to help the teacher during the parent-teacher meeting.

He happened to see Li Mianmian on the podium when Li Mianmian was poking her head. He couldn't help but finish his work and immediately went out to look for her.

The little girl was still squatting outside, holding her knees in a daze, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Xu Tingmo approached, bent down and asked her, "Are you looking for Gu Yanci?"

Li Mianmian raised her head, saw him, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you know where he is?"

"Maybe in the broadcasting room." Xu Tingmo probably felt that bending over to speak was tiring, and Xu Tingmo also squatted down in front of her, "He got the first place in the city in the final exam, and he wants to speak on behalf of the students."

"Wow!" Li Mianmian's eyes widened, "No. [-] in the city?"

"Yes." Xu Tingmo said with a smile, "Your brother is very powerful."

"That's right." Li Mianmian raised her chin proudly.

Seeing her like this, Xu Tingmo laughed even harder.

Simply because the work in the class was over, he teased and chatted with her.

After the principal's speech on the radio, it was Gu Yanci.

Hearing his voice, Li Mianmian immediately lost all thoughts of chatting and listened carefully to his speech.

Gu Yanci's speech was still rigid and boring, but Li Mianmian listened very carefully, and Xu Tingmo didn't bother her.

Finally finished speaking, Li Mianmian asked excitedly, "Is he going back to class?"

"Yes." Xu Tingmo nodded, "If his parents don't come, he must go back to class."

"Ah?" Li Mianmian was stunned, "Didn't his father come too?"

"No."

Xu Tingmo shook his head, then looked at her with interest for a moment, and jokingly asked, "You worry about your brother so much, do you like him?"

"...!"

Li Mianmian's breath was stagnant, and she stared in shock.

Before she could respond, a cold male voice suddenly sounded from above the two of them:
"Xu Tingmo, what nonsense are you talking about?"
