'm coming out now." She hurriedly changed into a casual set of clothes she wore at home, tied up her loose hair into a ponytail, and then prepared to leave the room.But after taking two steps, I reali...That year, on the last day of August, the capital city had clear skies and a hint of coolness in the morning and evening.

Lu YaoYao squatted on the stone slab in front of her courtyard door, watching ants moving house.

She was very unhappy today. Lu Kuo was going to Qining with his grandparents to study, thousands of miles away. She was heartbroken because once she got into trouble at school, no one would protect her anymore. And if the teacher needed to contact her parents, there wouldn't be Lu Kuo to pretend to be her parent anymore.

Just as she was worrying, three young boys ran out of the alleyway and dashed past her, stumbling.

Before they could get too far, seven or eight boys of a similar age caught up with them and surrounded them.

The boy chasing them, the last one walking, was tall and slender. He didn't run, just walked leisurely at the back, holding a stick in his hand, making a slight scraping sound on the brick road. He seemed like the finale of this confrontation, making his grand entrance last.

Lu Yaoyao started and didn't know what had happened. She raised her eyes somewhat dazedly to look at the young man in front of her, feeling a sense of familiarity.

The boy stopped in his tracks when he saw her, obviously not expecting to find someone else there. When he saw her, the corner of his lips curled up slightly, and then he took off his black short-sleeved shirt from under his jacket. As he walked past her, he directly covered her head with the short-sleeved shirt. Lu Yaoyao was taken aback. Thinking of the kidnapping scene in TV dramas, she had only dared to be wild and unrestrained at home or in front of familiar people. But outside, she was very timid. Just as she was about to scream in fear, the boy touched her head with his hand, and a gentle voice with a hint of laughter came:

"Don't look, children."

The sound of the stick against the stone path gradually faded away. She was covered by a black shirt, unable to see anything, and then...

Hearing muffled groans and pleas for mercy.

All was silent, then the sound of shuffling feet grew louder as they approached. A few voices could also be heard.

"Just a few hits, that's too cheap for them, isn't it"

“They're lucky today, running into a day when Young Master Gu is feeling merciful.”

The murmur of voices faded away, and the sound of a stick hitting the stone path came to a stop in front of her. The black shirt covering her head was taken off.

Just now the boy squatted down to be eye level with her, “Child, next time you encounter something like this, run away, understand”

Lu YaoYao, who had been squatting there foolishly, nodded dumbly as if she understood.

The boy happily carried the shirt and stick away.

She remembered, he was her brother Gu Ruandong.

At this time, the gate of Lu's courtyard was opened from inside, and Lu Kuò continued his phone call as he came out.

"I will go to school two days later."

It was probably Zhuo Yu'an who asked him the reason over there. He held the phone, glanced at Lu Yaoyao who was still crouching in front of the door, and...

“My sister, she got the lowest grade in the class last term's final exam. Tomorrow is the first day back to school and she has a parent-teacher meeting. I’ll go to the meeting for her and then go to Qining.”

Lu Yaoyao, who was still shaken and crouching on the ground, suddenly stood up. She glared angrily at Lu Kuò. How could he expose her failure in front of Zhuo Yǔ'ān

She was just careless. Last semester's final exam, she forgot to look at the back of the paper and missed a whole side of questions!!

"It's like you think if you did it, you wouldn't come last." Lu Kuo sneered after hanging up the phone.

"And you, aren't you the same You always come last in exams."

"I don't want to learn that."

"I don't want to learn either."

The two siblings never compared themselves, only...

Who is worse.

Qianning City enjoys a pleasant climate with four distinct seasons.

Zuo Yu'an lived with his parents in a government compound in the city center, a few stops by car from Qining High School. After his parents brought him there, they only said a few brief words and left him with the nanny. The next day, they went on a business trip.

It has been three days since school started, and he adapts very quickly. He has already gotten used to the weather in Qining and the campus life at Qining High School.

But, last night, the young boy had his first, embarrassing, and somewhat suggestive dream in his life. In his dream, it was the girl who played the piano at the welcome party.

When he woke up that morning, the stickiness on his body made his heart race and his ears flush. He wasn't sure if this meant he had truly become a man.

The nanny was calling him for breakfast. He was wearing a white school uniform shirt and light blue school uniform trousers, with the refreshing and clean air of youth about him. He lowered his head and mumbled as he washed his underwear from earlier that morning at the sink on the balcony. His earlobes were still red, too embarrassed to think further.

"Yu An, breakfast is ready. Don't be late."

The nanny called him, leaned over and saw that he was washing clothes by himself. She hurried over and said, "Put that down, Auntie will wash it later."

By the time she could make out what he was washing, the nanny was speechless and quietly came out from the balcony.

In the kitchen, he sighed. A young boy at that age is in a period of rapid physical development, and both mentally and physically, he's incredibly sensitive. Teacher Cheng brought her child from Beijing to Qinyin, a place they didn't know, all for the sake of "family bonding," then left him there without a second thought and went on a business trip. What was the point

Staying in the capital city, where educational resources are abundant and the environment is familiar, with at least a close relative like an elder nearby, is a...

People who can speak. In Qining, not to mention children, even she was not yet used to the climate and diet when she first arrived.

Just as he was thinking, Zhuo Yunan came out from the balcony and left with his backpack on.

"Yu An, haven't you had breakfast yet" The nanny hurried to catch up and shouted.

"I'm done eating." He slung his bag over one shoulder and bent down to put on his shoes at the door.

"You can't skip it, I'll pack some for you to eat on the way...."

Before the nanny could finish her words, Zhuo Yu'an had already put on his shoes and gone out, riding away on his bicycle.

The streets and alleys of Qining are unlike the bustling streets of the capital city. There's a slow, languid pace here. Zhuo Y uan rode his bike, facing the morning sun, passing through the smoke-filled streets, heading towards Qining High School.

As he passed a bus stop, he suddenly slammed on the brakes and stood still. In the morning light, a girl was waiting for the bus facing the sun on the platform. She had her hair in a ponytail, wore her school uniform, and carried a backpack. She turned back to talk to the girl behind her from time to time. It seemed they were talking about something funny because the two girls burst into laughter.

The morning sunshine was so gentle, like her smile. It was different from her at the welcome event and different from her in last night's dream.

The boy's heart beat faster, ashamed and embarrassed by his dream from last night. He raced away on his bicycle.

The faster I rode, the more each breath felt like a sharp pain in my lungs.

The bus behind him gradually sped up and drove past him.

Two girls standing side by side in the car, one of them pointed out the window at the cyclist and exclaimed excitedly,

“Shushu, look quickly, that's the boarding student from the next class, he came from Beijing, so handsome.”

"Where" The bus had already passed him. Tinglan looked...

When I looked out the window, there was an elderly man riding a tricycle with a golden retriever on it. It was quite majestic.
