Chapter 61 Goodbye
Chapter 61 Goodbye
[Dad, how long will you be back?
Another parent-teacher meeting is about to start. Do you have time to come?
It’s my sister’s birthday. Remember to call Jiayu when you have time.
Dad, I miss you a little.
[…]
Gu Lu also read the message records, and found that the frequency of sending messages was about one every one or two weeks.
He was surprised by two things. First, the original body sent a lot of text messages, but never complained of being hungry. Second, the original body didn't even remember his own birthday, but he could clearly remember his parents and sister's birthdays.
Gu Lu thought silently, "Children who cry a lot get candy, kid, why don't you understand this? Wait, that's not right, it seems that no one cares if I want to cry... My younger sister does care, but he can't cry in front of her younger sister."
People who get caught in the rain will have two reactions. The first is to tear off other people's umbrellas, and the second is to do the same as the original person.
After reading each message, Father Gu felt as if his heart was pierced by a knife, and he slapped himself in the face.
"Bang!" This time it was very loud.
Why only one slap? Why not two more? Gu Lu couldn't hide his disappointment.
"My dear, I'm sorry. I will answer the phone next time and raise you well." Father Gu's face was full of guilt.
Gu Lu believed that his father's guilt was real, but if this guilt could last for more than a week, Gu Lu thought it was a fantasy.
In the future? Brother, are you kidding me? There is no such thing as a future.
The young man's original plan was to rent a house by himself when he went to high school, and then say goodbye to you.
Gu Lu feels that he should live his life on his own.
Twenty-four years of experience in his previous life taught Gu Lu that there are two types of people that cannot be trusted: drunkards and gamblers!
"I'm going to cook you your favorite meal today. I'll go buy some groceries right away." Father Gu took a deep breath. He didn't dare to face his child again, so he left home as if he was escaping.
It was so funny. I really thought he was his original self. He kept the suffering to himself. Gu Lu had a smile on his face.
I don’t know whether it was because he felt pity for the original body or simply couldn’t stand this couple of parents, but Gu Lu wanted to let them know what the original body had experienced and what they had missed.
"No. 8 Middle School - I wonder how high school life will be compared to junior high school?" Gu Lu still has some expectations for the upcoming high school life.
"No wonder, I always feel like I forgot something." Gu Lu slapped his head.
I promised to check Zhao Juan’s birthday, but half a month has passed and there is still no sign of her.
Where is the household registration book at home? Gu Lu searched through boxes and cabinets and found it.
"So my birthday is February 2th. I've remembered it. I will definitely celebrate my birthday next year." Gu Lu muttered to himself as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was talking to someone else.
"Take some time to apply for an ID card, and then open a bank card after you have it. You should be able to do it on your own when you turn sixteen." Gu Lu thought of the second thing in his mind.
What gift should I give to Zhang Yudong? Gu Lu decided to give Fan Xiaotian a graduation gift.
"Since he took the initiative to ask his parents to buy The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, he must have some interest in reasoning, so let's read - The Tragedy of Z."
Gu Lu decided to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy it at noon tomorrow, but his best friend Fan Xiaotian seemed to do nothing but play games and eat.
I can't send snacks...
Spend a night relaxingly.
Tomorrow is the last day. The junior high school students who shared their books still didn’t see the book corner after all.
The next day is the high school entrance examination. Today, teachers have been reminding students again and again about what to bring to the examination room. Even though they get so tired of reminding them every year, some students still make mistakes.
"Wuwuwu!" Fan Xiaotian found Gu Lu choking with sobs.
How should I put it? You can see that Xiaotian is very sad, but it may be because his hands are dirty and he was wiping his tears, which resulted in a dark circle on his lower eyelids, as if it was painted with black and gray "watercolor" by a Peking Opera singer.
"What's wrong with you?" "I'm heartbroken, I'm heartbroken! It really hurts!" Fan Xiaotian's tone was very sad.
"Professional!" Gu Lu whispered.
"What?" Fan Xiaotian didn't hear clearly.
"I said I'm a professional, but that's not important. Just tell me what happened in detail." Gu Lu was indeed a professional because he didn't even laugh out loud.
"We just made an appointment last week, but she broke up with me yesterday when we chatted on QQ." Fan Xiaotian was so emotional that his voice was intermittent. "We were talking and laughing just two days ago."
I'm sorry, Gu Lu knew that his friend was in a miserable state, but the look on his face coupled with the crying tone like a chicken being slaughtered made him want to laugh, and he quickly beat the wooden fish in his heart.
"What stage have you reached?" Gu Lu asked.
As if the chicken's neck was being strangled, the crying stopped abruptly. Fan Xiaotian was silent for a while and said, "...Holding hands."
Fan Xiaotian showed a little shyness as he said this.
In the student days, just holding hands could make us happy for a long time, Gu Lu sighed.
"That's great, brother. You've already broken the hand-holding barrier in middle school, and you'll definitely be able to hug in high school." Gu Lu said, "That's already pretty good. Look, I haven't had a date in three years of middle school."
It seems to be the case. Fan Xiaotian said, "I may not be able to get into high school. After all, I am still a little bit behind Einstein."
I just said it casually, do you still remember this? Gu Lu coughed twice, and the next moment he took out the graduation gift.
"Here, this is for you." Gu Lu took out a book.
"'How to improve my grades'?" Fan Xiaotian looked at his friend in confusion, his eyes seemed to be saying, do you think this thing will be useful to me?
……
Gu Lu stayed at home from June 6nd to 22th. These two days were ordinary three days for him, and also ordinary days for the striking sun.
But for the third-year junior high school students, it has an extraordinary meaning, and it can even be said that every day is like a year.
Until the results are out, you don’t know how you did in the exam.
However, for the students in Class 5, the graduation banquet can temporarily relieve their anxiety. To say "wait" is not right either, because a farewell dinner may make some students more anxious.
No matter what, Zeng Hotpot has booked a table and the event must go ahead.
There should be 42 students in the class, but there are actually 45, because teachers Yan, Li and Tai are all there.
"Let me show you something." Before dinner, Teacher Li took out a booklet.
No. 37 Middle School brochure? Gu Lu looked at Teacher Li in confusion.
"Look at the last two pages," Teacher Li reminded.
Turning to the back, Gu Lu saw his own name——
[Gu Lu is a child with a rich imagination, carefulness, strong empathy for things, and a lot of knowledge and ideas about history.
"This ending is different from what I've read before." Gu Lu said to his teacher in class one day.
...]
Gu Lu was so praised that he almost couldn't recognize himself. The key point was that the short story written above about "correcting the teacher's mistakes in class" was simply made up. How could such a thing happen?
"This is the new version of the brochure for our No. 37 Middle School. Principal Liu specifically asked us to write your name on it." Teacher Li explained.
"Oh," Gu Lu was very happy to be recognized as an outstanding graduate by his alma mater.
But Gu Lu did not brag about this at the graduation party, because today's attention was not about how awesome a classmate was, but the memories of the entire class.
