After school, the teacher left with Song Xinyu, Zhou Ran, Cheng Chu and Gu Miao.

The teachers of other classes had not left yet, and looked over curiously.

Song Xinyu was out of breath from crying, and she kept choking, trying to arouse the teacher’s pity.

But Lin Yue obviously didn’t pity her, so she asked someone to call Wang Yan to the office.

The other teachers had goosebumps in their hearts when they heard the boy’s calm confession.

How can you be so vicious at such a young age!

The grade director watched from the sidelines, and finally came to a conclusion – Song Xinyu recorded a major demerit, and read the review in front of the whole school on Monday, Wang Yan and Gu Miao warned and punished. [1]

Warnings are not serious and can be withdrawn from the file as long as they perform well within one year.

But a demerit is a stain on your life.

Song Xinyu broke down and cried, her snot mixed with tears, and finally knelt down to Cheng Chu.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, please, I don’t want to have a demerit.” She cried, humbly begging, “Please forgive me this time, I won’t do it again next time.”

Cheng Chu lowered her eyes slightly and looked at her coldly without saying a word.

People always have to pay a price for what they do wrong.

This is what she deserves.

Song Xinyu cried in the office and was about to collapse. Finally, her parents came to the school to take her back.

When she came out of the office, it was already late, the sun was setting and the sky was crimson.

Cheng Chu and Gu Miao were walking on the path of the campus, and their shadows in the sunset stretched out. From a distance, they looked like lovers snuggling together.

The gentle evening wind blew through the holly trees by the roadside, and the campus was silent.

After a long time, Gu Miao said, “Y-you already knew.”

A few turquoise leaves fell at his feet. Cheng Chu pursed her lips and said, “Well.”

Gu Miao lowered her head, his dark eyelashes trembled slightly. .

His heart seemed to collapse, empty, and the overwhelming sense of powerlessness enveloped him.

In the setting sun of the evening, the dark eyes of the young man were as deep as the boundless night.

He suddenly felt that he was useless, the darkness that he tried so hard to cover up, in fact, she already knew it.

She is not afraid of anything, even braver than him, and knows how to face it better.

Gu Miao closed her eyes helplessly.

She doesn’t need him at all, maybe in her eyes, he is just a joke.

A ridiculous joke.

At the end of the trail is the bicycle shed. Gu Miao didn’t look at her and went straight in.

Cheng Chu quickly followed.

There were no lights in the carport, and the tall boy’s figure melted into the darkness.

“Gu Miao.” The girl’s voice was clear and gentle, like the sparkling lights in the dark night, passing through the lonely cold night of the sea market and getting into Gu Miao’s ear.

Gu Miao’s hand pushing the bike paused, “What’s wrong?”

“Can you take me home?” Cheng Chu pursed her lips: “I’m afraid.” The darkness seemed to magnify the senses for a moment, Cheng Chu listened to her own heartbeat.

“If it weren’t for you, Wang Yan would definitely find someone to block me that day.” Cheng Chu walked a few steps, raised his eyes and said, “Thank you, Gu Miao, thank you for protecting me.”

He looked at her, and the girl’s eyes were bright and bright, like a star that fell into the whole world.

Gu Miao’s Adam’s apple rolled, and his heart was beating wildly. He could hardly control the surging emotions that were surging in his body.

She was always like this, just a few words made his heartbeat disordered.

The girl raised her head slightly, and looked at him with her hot and bright eyes without blinking, as if she was saying to him –

I need you, I need you very much.

Gu Miao felt the surging emotion in his heart pouring into his throat, he moved his lower lip silently, but found that he couldn’t say a word.

The surrounding time is continuously stretched, and every minute and every second is like a slowed down music, flowing slowly.

It seemed like a long time, until the cold wind in the winter night got into the parking shed, and Gu Miao found the a balance in his frantic heartbeat.

He stabilized his frantic heartbeat, and finally found his voice.

He said, “If, if you’re afraid, I, I can take you home.”

The darkness covered his red ears, but it couldn’t hide the almost humble cautiousness in his tone.

Cheng Chu ticked the corner of his mouth, and said softly, “Okay, sorry to trouble you.”

When she followed Gu Miao out of the carport, a moon quietly hung in the sky, and the bright and clean moonlight poured into the peaceful campus.

The two walked out of the campus one after the other.

The holly tree on the roadside swayed its branches and leaves in the night wind. Gu Miao stepped onto the car, pursed her lips, and said, “Let’s go.”

Cheng Chu quietly stepped onto the back seat, and gently grabbed the corners of his clothes with both hands.

Gu Miao’s hands froze.

“Let’s go.” She reminded softly.

A rudimentary bicycle drove into the moonlight.

Cheng Chu’s house was very close, but Gu Miao slowed down, and the ride was several minutes longer than the last time he picked her up.
