Chapter 422: The 80s' 'Five Grains of Harvest' 5
Huang Haiyang kept making a fuss all the way but didn't ask for a second hug. Gu Li refused Huang Haiyang's offer to help make the bed, and after putting down the new bedding, she drove him away.
It’s not that Gu Li was stingy with a hug, but she needed to think carefully about whether the thought that suddenly popped up in her mind just now was her temporary madness, or a response that had already existed during his subtle invasion.
Gu Li always thought that she liked a gentle and humble boy like Xiang Haiwei, the type that Gu Li had rarely met so far.
Xiang Haiwei always motivates Gu Li to keep working hard in study and life.
She likes herself to have clear goals and always be in action.
Gu Li felt that when one day she could stand at the same level as Xiang Haiwei, they would naturally be together.
But Huang Haiyang forcefully tore apart the tacit understanding between her and Xiang Haiwei, which was natural and needed no words to express.
When the classes were divided in the second year of high school, Gu Li and Xiang Haiwei were not only assigned to different classes, but also not on the same floor.
Gu Li's Class 9 is at the westernmost end of the third floor, and Xiang Haiwei's Class 1 is at the easternmost end of the second floor.
Unless you wait outside the classroom, the chances of running into him/her by chance during morning exercises or in the toilet are slim.
Gu Li has always known that Xiang Haiwei is very good at physics and chemistry. If he puts aside the subjects he is not good at, his grades will be even better.
This is indeed the case. After the class was divided, Xiang Haiwei was like an eagle with wings and jumped into the top three in the grade.
Gu Li must work harder to meet Xiang Haiwei at the top of the college entrance examination two years later.
Gu Li did not dare to slack off, and studied hard and practiced exercises.
But what Gu Li didn't expect was that Xiang Haiwei actually wrote a love letter to Gu Li like other boys, and asked her to meet him in the pavilion in the school garden.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere of puppy love emerged.
Just when Gu Lixin was curious, Huang Haiyang appeared as if on call.
He saw the sky blue letter paper in Gu Li's hand. Although it was not folded into a heart shape, anyone who saw it would know what it was.
Huang Haiyang took advantage of his height to peek at the name of the person who signed the document.
He snorted, "Why, are you too timid to keep my appointment, and want to call you to give you courage?"
"What do you mean?"
Huang Haiyang hesitated and didn't explain clearly, then turned around and ran away angrily.
Gu Li went to the pavilion and gave Haiwei a newly made red maple leaf bookmark. Unlike the bookmark made of transparent tape given last year, this maple leaf bookmark was made of photographic plastic.
Xiang Haiwei was as taciturn as ever, but Gu Li could easily see the hesitation in his eyes.
Gu Li took the maple leaf bookmark and asked him if he had something to ask her.
Xiang Haiwei hesitated for a long time and only said that if Gu Li was willing, he could lend her his physics and chemistry class notes like he did in the first year of high school.
"Apart from this, is there anything else?"
Xiang Haiwei shook his head in confusion, moved his lips, and said that he would sort it out when he got home tonight, and come here tomorrow to give it to her.
Gu Li didn't ask any more questions and returned to the classroom with the beautiful maple leaf bookmark.
In the evening, after the last evening self-study session, Gu Li, who rarely took any books with her, ran to the first floor as soon as she left the classroom.
She hid in the shadow of the stairs on the east side of the first floor for a long time, until the crowds of people became sparsely populated by one or two people, but she still didn't wait for Xiang Haiwei.
Could it be that she missed it?
Or was Xiang Haiwei called away by Huang Haiyang in advance?
Just as Gu Li was wondering, she heard a very familiar voice, "Boss, everyone in the first team has left. He's not here. That grandson actually ran away early!"
The boy's voice quickly came from upstairs, and he ran out of the teaching building like a gust of wind, chasing after another figure that Gu Li was very familiar with.
"Boss, I know where we can rob that kid. His home is not far south of the school. We can climb over the wall from the south gate and stop him."
Huang Haiyang's long legs moved very fast. He turned around after hearing his younger brother's suggestion and said, "What else do you want me to say? Let's go! Block him!"
After everyone had gone far away, Gu Li came out from the shadow of the stairs. The man who had just chased Huang Haiyang seemed to be her new classmate who had been in the same class for more than a week, named Su Hang.
Gu Li followed the two men from a distance and went to the south gate of the school which was always locked.
When Gu Li arrived, Huang Haiyang and Su Hang had already climbed over the wall. Gu Li hid behind the iron gate and looked at the two people confronting each other in the alley outside.
The south gate of the school faces an alley in the town. The alley leads to all directions and should have been the fastest choice for students in the town to go home. However, the school probably took the crowding and trampling into consideration, so the south gate is almost always locked.
Xiang Haiwei's home is in the town. If you go out from the south gate, you can get home in less than five minutes, but if you go out from the east gate, it may take more than ten minutes.
It just so happened that Xiang Haiwei, who had left early, was blocked in this alley by Huang Haiyang who had climbed over the wall.
"Didn't I ask someone to come find you in the evening? Why are you running away?"
Su Hang was keeping watch at the alley entrance. Xiang Haiwei, who was holding two books in his hands, was pushed against the wall by Huang Haiyang. He said something in a very soft voice and it was a little far away, so Gu Li couldn't hear it clearly.
Unlike Huang Haiyang, his voice is neither humble nor arrogant, like an angry young man giving a speech on stage, and every word he says carries weight.
"You are so timid and you still want to snatch my girl? I think you can only do some handicrafts to trick those silly girls who don't know the world!"
Xiang Haiwei didn't want to talk to Huang Haiyang. This kind of tug-of-war was really inexplicable to him. Gu Li didn't like Huang Haiyang at all. No matter how much he tried, it was useless. But the man in front of him didn't seem to understand and insisted on hitting his head against the wall.
Does he think that everyone would be willing to play this boring game of grabbing with him?
Gu Li simply looked down upon Huang Haiyang.
He doesn't even have the qualifications to compete with me.
Xiang Haiwei turned around and wanted to leave. He had promised Gu Li that he would go back and organize her physics notes.
But how could Huang Haiyang let him go so easily? He moved his feet and blocked Xiang Haiwei's way again.
"I'm talking to you, why are you struggling to say a word? I really don't understand why Gu Li likes you? Is it your deceptive pretty face?"
Gu Li, hiding behind the wall, shrank back. It is undeniable that without a pretty face, who would be willing to spend time and effort to get to know the other person for no reason?
She is very busy.
Xiang Haiwei looked at Huang Haiyang unhappily, "You are not her, you don't need to understand. Instead of wasting time with me here, why don't you look for the reason from yourself."
"Oh, the barking dog that bites is really a bite." Huang Haiyang curled his lips and smiled. The arrogance in his tone was completely different from the usual fawning and obedient behavior in front of Gu Li.
At this moment, Huang Haiyang looked more like a yellow-haired gangster who hung out in dance halls. He no longer looked like the smart and courageous young master that Uncle Seventh Tu described him as.
