After listening to Yang Hui telling about his extremely boring dream, Gu Beilu now felt that the two people in front of him were highly suspicious people who would dream about Yu Xi, because Yu Xi had the most contact with the two of them at school yesterday.
Shen Di and Su Weifan looked at each other at the same time, and both thought that Gu Beilu must be crazy. He actually cared about their sleeping conditions? Something must be wrong when things are abnormal.
The two who had spent the whole dreamless night shook their heads and looked at Gu Beilu as if he were a monster. What a psychopath…
Gu Beilu felt relieved, but at the same time he cursed Yang Hui in his heart.
Except for the sweeping monk, no one would have random dreams.
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Shen Di quickly escaped: “If you’re okay, I’m leaving.”
Gu Beilu stopped him and remembered that he had something else to do: “Wait, something. How is Yu Xi feeling today?”
Shen Di finally realized what was wrong with Gu Beilu today. In the past, Gu Beilu always asked him about Yu Xi, but today he actually asked about dreams. Is this normal?
He felt uncomfortable without hearing the word “Yu Xi” from Gu Beilu’s mouth.
But before he could answer, Su Weifan said, “Yu Xi seems to be in a bad mood.”
Although he just met Yu Xi yesterday, he could clearly see that Yu Xi was not in good shape since before the morning reading today. Gu Beilu had a good relationship with Yu Xi, so he should know the reason: “Do you know what happened to him?”
When Gu Beilu heard that Yu Xi was really unhappy, he felt anxious.
But the break time was too short, and in just a moment the class bell rang. The two people in front of him no longer paid attention to him and turned away.
As Shen Di walked, he complained to Su Weifan: “What you said this morning about the human skeleton was too scary. Who can be in a good mood after listening to it?”
After listening to it, he felt pain in his Adam’s apple, even though it hadn’t grown out yet.
Su Weifan retorted: “You all have a wrong understanding of the Adam’s apple.”
Gu Beilu looked at their backs in silence for a moment, then took out his cell phone from his pocket.
The school does not allow students to use mobile phones during school hours, but he was glad that he never followed these so-called broken rules. He immediately placed an order for the fried chicken that Yu Xi craved the most but rarely got to eat.
In their home, the meals were prepared by nutritionists, and Yu Xi ate with him every day, so he didn’t have much chance to eat these fast foods. In elementary school, many classmates chose to celebrate their birthdays at school. It was at that time that Yu Xi came into contact with fried chicken and French fries, as if he had opened the door to a new world, and he was very greedy.
Gu Beilu didn’t usually pay attention to these fast foods, he just knew that Yu Xi loved to eat them. He frowned and ordered everything he could on the mobile app.
After finishing his meal in the corridor, he went upstairs. When he passed the door of Class 7, he saw the empty seat at a glance.
It’s Yu Xi’s seat.
Where have the people gone?
Gu Beilu suddenly had a very bad feeling.
He turned around suddenly, and the corridor on the entire floor was empty. He ran into the toilet, and the toilet was also empty.

At this moment, Yu Xi was picking a sandwich at Li Ji convenience store outside the school.
In the morning, he made Gu Beilu not even have breakfast and was angry with others. Gu Beilu must be very hungry and unhappy now.
As soon as the class was over, he secretly climbed over the wall to bring breakfast to Gu Beilu.
He took a box of milk from the refrigerator, and then carefully choose a sandwich, Gu Beilu only eats chicken, but this store has bacon.
Yu Xi turned around and looked at the counter: “Boss, no chicken sandwiches?”
The boss answered while counting the bills: “We have sold out all the chicken today. We only have bacon left.”
“I see…”
Yu Xi was in a dilemma, he knew Gu Beilu’s eating habits too well. Gu Beilu never ate anything else, if he bought anything at random, he would rather starve than eat it.
This person was the most stubborn and uncompromising person he had ever met.
The boss didn’t hear any movement for a long time. He looked up at him, then at his watch. He thought that this student was really interesting. He looked very delicate, wore his school uniform properly, and even had the chain of his coat pulled to his neck. He looked like a good kid, not like those naughty kids who climbed over the wall every day.
Even though what he wanted was no longer available, he didn’t leave or get a replacement. Instead, he just stood there obediently, staring at the warming cabinet, biting his lip, with a serious and embarrassed expression, as if he was making some major life decision.
The boss was almost amused: “What’s wrong, little classmate? Bacon ones are delicious too.”
Yu Xi shook his head: “He only eats chicken.”
The boss understood immediately. He had run a shop next to the school for more than ten years and had seen many cases of premature love.
“Oh? She is really picky and only eats chicken. This is not a good thing…” He deliberately prolonged the last syllable to see the reaction of this good boy.
“Boss, is there anywhere else I can buy a chicken sandwich around here?” Yu Xi asked sincerely.
He didn’t have many opportunities to buy things by himself in the past, but when Gu Beilu bought things for him, even if one store sold out, he would look for a second or third store until he found the item.
The boss looked at him. Although this student looked and sounded soft, he was determined to do things until his goal was achieved.
This is the only way to chase girls. The boss appreciated it and enthusiastically helped: “You can go to the store at the end of the street and have a look. Their business is average. Maybe you can still get some.”
Yu Xi looked at the time. There were less than ten minutes left before class started, but Gu Beilu couldn’t stay hungry for so long. Between class and Gu Beilu’s health, he chose the latter without hesitation.
“Thank you, boss!” He paid for the milk, turned around and ran quickly to the end of the street.
Fortunately, the street was not long, and he ran to the end of the street in two minutes and luckily bought the last chicken sandwich.
When he returned to the school wall with the food, there were only two minutes left before class. He didn’t care about anything else, and quickly put the sandwich and milk into the left and right pockets of his coat, stepped on the protruding part of the wall and climbed up.
This was the first time he had climbed over a wall in his life. Although he usually didn’t like climbing up and down, swimming had helped him to develop his flexibility, so this time he climbed over the wall easier than he had imagined.
When he came out just now, he climbed up the big banyan tree from the rockery on campus, and reached the wall by stepping on the thick branches. But it was not so smooth when he went back. He had to find a foothold while protecting the milk and sandwich in his pocket. He was very careful and his movements were much slower.
He finally climbed back to the rockery, just as the class bell rang. In his panic, he slid down the rockery while holding onto it, and didn’t even notice that his hand was scratched.
Both of them were running very fast. Yu Xi felt that he was almost knocked away and saw stars for a moment.
When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was stunned, gasping for breath.
Gu Beilu was sitting on the ground, and he was sitting on Gu Beilu, his hands still tightly guarding the food in his pockets.
Gu Beilu’s chest was also rising and falling violently, and beads of sweat were oozing out of his forehead. He looked all the way from upstairs to downstairs but didn’t see the person he was looking for, and he was almost going crazy.
At the moment of collision, he saw Yu Xi’s face clearly and pulled the person who was flying back to himself.
From upstairs, there were voices of “Hello, teacher” coming one after another, mixed with the harsh sounds of desks and chairs rubbing against the floor. But the two could hear nothing except each other’s breathing and their own heartbeats.
“Where have you been?” After a few seconds, Gu Beilu’s nervousness suddenly burst out and he blurted out the question without thinking much, without paying attention to his tone and expression.
Only then did Yu Xi feel the burning pain in his arm. Adding on the fact that Gu Beilu was so mean to him, he felt so aggrieved that his nose was hot and sour, and his eyes immediately became tearful.
This expression made Gu Beilu feel so distressed that he immediately hugged the person in his arms, without asking any questions and just apologizing.
“Xixi, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have treated you like that this morning. It’s all my fault.”
“Please forgive me. I won’t do it again.”
“If you’re unhappy, hit me and bite me, and I’ll buy you fried chicken.”
Yu Xi was in his arms, he wiped her tears with his shirt, and then he said with a trembling voice: “I’m sorry…hiss”
He accidentally touched his arm and immediately raised his hand in pain.
Gu Beilu’s eyes darkened: “What happened? How did it become like this?”
Yu Xi couldn’t hide it anymore and took out milk and a sandwich from his pocket. The packaging was a little flattened.
“I went out to buy you breakfast… I got scratched on the rockery…”
He didn’t quite dare to look Gu Beilu in the eye, feeling guilty and afraid of being criticized.
Unexpectedly, before he could receive any criticism, the next second, he was forced to leave the ground and was picked up steadily. The brief feeling of weightlessness made him hold Gu Beilu’s shoulders tightly.
He didn’t dare ask where he was going, nor did he dare ask to be let go, because he knew it wouldn’t happen.
In Gu Beilu’s arms, he looked thin and small, didn’t weigh much, and didn’t struggle.

In the infirmary, Gu Beilu watched the school doctor use alcohol cotton to disinfect the bloody wound, and immediately held Yu Xi’s hand with one hand and covered his eyes with the other hand.
Yu Xi has been like this since he was a child. No matter how much pain he feels, he never makes a sound. He just closes his eyes tightly and holds on to him.
The school doctor said: “They are just skin injuries, but the area is a bit large, it will be a bit painful, just bear with it.”
Feeling the person in his arms trembling, Gu Beilu’s heart tightened. From the teaching building to the school clinic, he had cursed himself a hundred times in his heart as a bastard. If he wasn’t such a bastard, Yu Xi wouldn’t have to suffer like this.
After bandaging the wound, the school doctor wrote a sick leave note, telling him to go home and have a good rest, keep the wound away from water, and change the dressing regularly.
After leaving the school clinic, Gu Beilu immediately called the housekeeper to send a car to the school.
Yu Xi sat on the chair waiting for him. His arms no longer hurt. Both hands were bandaged. He suddenly felt like a Michelin tire, swinging his arms for fun.
He has such a happy personality, he may feel like crying in pain one second, but can find fun in the next.
After a long while, Gu Beilu came back with his head down. Yu Xi couldn’t see his expression clearly, but just told him to have breakfast quickly.
Gu Beilu’s attention was all on him. He walked up to him, squatted down, touched the bandage lightly, and asked him in a low voice with a heavy nasal voice if it hurt.
Just now, when he didn’t know someone was injured, he was still able to apologize endlessly, but now he couldn’t say a word. He felt that no apology could make up for Yu Xi.
Yu Xi’s skin was as tender as an egg. How painful it would be to get such a large abrasion? He couldn’t bear the thought and felt extremely guilty.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore, eat it quickly. If you don’t eat it, it would be a waste of my money.” Yu Xi pointed to the sandwich and milk placed aside.
Gu Beilu stopped talking, lowered his head, walked to the side, picked up the sandwich, and started eating with his back to him.
“Is it delicious?” Yu Xi asked curiously, looking at his back.
Most of the sandwiches that Gu Beilu eats on weekdays are made by the chef at home, so he wonders if this small shop will suit his taste.
After several seconds, Gu Beilu replied, “Yeah, it’s delicious.”
Although he tried his best to keep his voice steady, Yu Xi still heard something wrong.
He stood up and walked around from behind Gu Beilu to his front.
When Gu Beilu heard the footsteps, he immediately turned around, leaned against the wall, buried his face in his hands and started coughing.
Choked? Yu Xi patted his back and told him to eat slowly.
“Don’t move your hand… cough cough cough.” Gu Beilu coughed and moved away to prevent Yu Xi from touching the wound.
“I injured my arm, not my hand.” Yu Xi argued, then asked, “Are you really okay?”
Gu Beilu buried his face, wiped away his tears where Yu Xi couldn’t see, and forced himself to calm down.
I can’t let Yu Xi see him cry.
He would never be such a jerk again and would not let Yu Xi worry about him. This fool saw that he hadn’t eaten breakfast and took such a big risk to buy it. If he saw him crying, who knows what he would think.
“It’s okay, it’s just too delicious. I took too big a bite and choked.”
