"Is it?"
Filled with curiosity, Su Xiyue followed her classmate's gaze and looked over.
The boy sitting by the window was indeed good-looking. Although he couldn't compare to Gu Qing, who was one in a million, he was still a beautiful flower.
Su Xiyue glanced at it and then looked away.
Having been with Gu Qing for so long, my standards for beauty have been raised to the highest level. I'd rather think about my little Qingqing than this woman.
However, Su Xiyue's classmate across from her kept glancing at her while eating, as if she were indeed a feast for the eyes.
Su Xiyue understood this, after all, beauty can indeed be appetizing, and shyness can indeed be a dish.
Thinking of Gu Qing's budding beauty on the bed that night, Su Xiyue felt that even the ordinary cafeteria rice tasted better.
"Do you think I should go up and give it a try?" the classmate asked hesitantly.
"Why not give it a try? There's no harm in it."
Su Xiyue gave the answer casually.
"Let's forget about it." The classmate shook his head dejectedly. "I heard that this school beauty is very aloof. She throws all the gifts and love letters she receives directly into the trash can. I've never seen anyone successfully flirt with her. She's like a flower on a high mountain."
"Is it……"
Upon hearing the words "a flower on a high mountain," Su Xiyue's heart stirred, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the so-called school beauty again.
After glancing at her for a few moments, Su Xiyue looked away and gently shook her head.
Gu Qing was also known as a "flower on a high mountain" when she was in No. 2 Middle School, but she was not aloof at all.
He will greet you normally, respond to you politely, and will not be reserved about helping you with small favors.
But no matter what, he would never get close to anyone, as if there was an invisible wall between him and everything outside.
In Su Xiyue's heart, Gu Qing was the true unattainable flower, beautiful but unattainable.
Even though Gu Qing, this delicate flower, has been "ravaged" by her several times, it still doesn't affect Gu Qing's lofty position in Su Xiyue's heart.
……
"Gu Qing, here is the information."
A pretty girl in a white down jacket handed over a file folder.
Gu Qing took it, and while checking it, she thanked him, saying, "Thank you, you've worked hard."
The girl blushed and suddenly became nervous.
Despite being a head taller than Gu Qing, he suddenly became awkward.
"Is there anything else?" Gu Qing asked, puzzled by the girl's expression.
"No, no!"
The girl seemed startled. After withdrawing her gaze from secretly observing Gu Qing, she turned to leave.
But then, as if remembering something, she quickly turned around and said, "Gu Qing, our group's assignments are almost finished, so we're planning a group dinner. Would you like to come?"
Gu Qing actually knew about the group dinner.
Although he rarely speaks in the group chat, he does occasionally check it, but he hasn't responded to the question about the dinner party.
The reason wasn't that he was pretending to be aloof, but rather that the dinner party had only been on paper, with no confirmed time or place, so Gu Qing couldn't give a definite answer.
"That depends on the time and place. If there's nothing else important, I'll go," Gu Qing replied.
"Okay, I'll let everyone know in the group once the time and place are confirmed!"
The girl nodded happily, then turned and left with slightly excited steps, waving her fist in the air.
Gu Qing put the documents into his white backpack, sent a message to Su Xiyue, and then left the classroom.
The end of the first semester is approaching, and the Lunar New Year will be just around the corner.
For Gu Qing, this year has brought about significant changes in her life.
His father started a new family with him, and he gained an older sister, who is now his lover.
As a result, he himself underwent unpredictable changes.
It seemed as if Gu Qing had found a definite anchor in this world, and she felt more enthusiastic and hopeful about life.
With a pleasant feeling, Gu Qing quickened her pace.
Stepping on the bluestone slabs, Gu Qing took a shortcut, turned a corner, and after walking a few dozen steps, he saw Su Xiyue at the school gate.
The girl was wearing the same down jacket as Gu Qing today. It wasn't exactly a couple's outfit, but they looked very similar.
Her tall figure is very eye-catching, and even the heavy winter clothes cannot hide her even more prominent figure.
Gu Qing is particularly qualified to speak on this point.
"Qingqing, my darling, give me a kiss!"
When Su Xiyue saw Gu Qing, she smiled broadly and pressed her lips to Gu Qing's forehead.
At first, Gu Qing felt very uncomfortable being called such a mushy nickname.
But the girl was shameless enough, and she would whisper sweet nothings in his ear all the time, and over time he got used to it out of helplessness.
After stamping the document, Su Xiyue took the backpack off Gu Qing's shoulder and slung it over her own. Then, she grabbed one of Gu Qing's small hands, held it tightly, and stuffed it into her coat pocket.
As Su Xiyue passed by a newly opened milk tea shop, she suddenly stopped and looked at Gu Qing.
"Want to give it a try?" Su Xiyue asked.
"I'm still the same as always," Gu Qing said.
"learn!"
So, Su Xiyue pressed Gu Qing down onto a stool in the store, and then began to make her own purchases.
Gu Qing rarely tries new things; if possible, a life without change is perhaps what he desires.
In my past life, I don't know when it happened, but I suddenly started to resist new things and had some indescribable worries about the changes in the future.
Perhaps he's lost his fighting spirit?
Gu Qing herself didn't know either.
A moment later, Su Xiyue handed Gu Qing a steaming cup of unsweetened green tea made from whole leaves, while the girl herself had black tea with sugar added.
She originally preferred fruit tea, but with Gu Qing's personality, she now also likes leaf tea.
The warmth of the tea leaves warms the body and mind, and the cozy feeling in winter always invigorates the spirit.
"I saw on the weather forecast that it looks like it's going to snow in a few days. Qingqing, do you want to buy a pair of snow boots?"
On the way, Su Xiyue looked at the sneakers on Gu Qing's feet and asked.
The two did not bring many winter clothes when they arrived in Jinling; most of them were bought online later.
Su Xiyue wanted to accompany Gu Qing shopping for clothes, eating, drinking, and having fun.
However, Gu Qing was completely different from other boys; he had no desire to go shopping at all and was even more of a homebody than she was.
“I do need to, but I can just buy it online. I don’t want to go out,” Gu Qing said.
He disliked winter, especially winter in the south.
The chill in the air and wind always reminded him of the persistent cold and dampness inside the air-raid shelter.
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Su Xiyue tightened her grip on Gu Qing's soft, boneless hand.
218. If you kiss someone's feet, don't expect to kiss their face!
The night in Nanjing was peaceful and serene.
Whenever Gu Qing gazed at the lights of countless homes from his balcony, this scene, which seemed ordinary to Su Xiyue, was a treasure he had once longed for.
Lights are turning on in the buildings of the residential complex, and occasionally the sounds of children playing can be heard downstairs.
The highway in the distance is bustling with traffic, even late at night.
The only downside was that the cold wind in the south was quite biting.
"Be careful of catching a cold."
Before anyone knew it, Su Xiyue appeared behind Gu Qing and draped a straw shawl over the back of Gu Qing's neck.
"fine."
Gu Qing turned her head, revealing a faint smile, and took a cup of steaming tea from Su Xiyue's hand.
Holding the cup in both hands, it felt very warm.
"What are Qingqing's plans for the holiday?"
Su Xiyue gently wrapped her arms around the boy's waist from behind.
With a slender waist like a willow and skin as smooth as jade, she has tasted it and has the right to speak on it.
However, being too thin is not a good thing either. Whenever I approached him, I always worried whether the boy's fragile little body could withstand the torment.
