Gu Beilu could tell from just a few glances that Fang Tian definitely had bad intentions towards Yu Xi. He had developed a special ability since he was a child, and could distinguish all kinds of people around Yu Xi at a glance.

But during this period of time, he stuck to Yu Xi every day, and the big guy didn’t react much, so they never had a head-on confrontation.

Fang Tian held the front of the car with both hands and backed up half a meter until he was parallel to Gu Beilu. He whispered beside him, “First in the whole school? What a coincidence. I also like to be first.”

He was a popular figure in school during his three years in junior high school, but he had competitors in high school, which made him very unhappy.

Yu Xi opened the invitation and took a look, then said, “Fang Tian, ​​this Saturday…”

Fang Tian interrupted him: “Yu Xi, I’ll pick you up on Saturday, you must come.”

Without waiting for Yu Xi’s answer, he rode his bike away from their sight.

Yu Xi had originally planned to go to the bookstore this Saturday. Although it was not a serious matter, he was a little worried about Gu Beilu.

Anyone could hear the tension in the conversation between Gu Beilu and Fang Tian. As Su Weifan had said, these two people didn’t get along well.

After Fang Tian sent out the birthday invitation, Gu Beilu’s mood was very low, and he didn’t say much until he got home. But other than that, he didn’t show any other behavior. He ate, took a bath, did his homework, and checked Yu Xi’s homework as usual.

Yu Xi observed him all night, and after finally finishing the day’s homework, he looked up and asked him, “Derek, do you dislike Fang Tian?”

Gu Beilu paused, but did not stop packing his books. He asked casually, “Do you like him?”

“I don’t like him. I don’t know him very well.” Yu Xi shook his head and said, “But the way he spoke to you today was not good.”

He originally didn’t have a very deep impression of Fang Tian, ​​but today he discovered that he didn’t like this person.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Fang Tian had come here to provoke them, and Yu Xi had seen it, too. If he just wanted to invite him, there was no need to specifically block them at the school gate after school, and there was no need to deliberately mention that Gu Beilu couldn’t go.

Gu Beilu didn’t expect that Yu Xi’s attitude was so obviously biased towards him.

He raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Yu Xi’s fair face, and his mood improved a lot.

“I’m not even familiar with him, and I don’t care about his attitude.” He rubbed Yu Xi’s soft hair and his expression softened.

Yu Xi nodded. The birthday party and the bookstore were not as important to him as Gu Beilu’s competition. He wanted to tell Gu Beilu to compete well and he would not go to the birthday party.

He has been accompanying Gu Beilu these days, supervising his daily routine to prevent him from being too tired before the competition.

Gu Beilu had participated in numerous competitions, big and small, since elementary school, and he won first prize every time without any suspense. But he found that this time, Gu Beilu prepared more seriously than before.

“Derek, you’re not nervous, are you?” he asked worriedly.

Gu Beilu said: “Of course not. There’s no need to be nervous about the competition. I will definitely be first anyway.”

Yu Xi remembered what Fang Tian said to Gu Beilu at the school gate, and was afraid that Gu Beilu would add unnecessary pressure to himself because of this.

Gu Beilu looked at his serious little expression and guessed what was going on in his little head.

He pinched Yu Xi’s soft face and explained, “If I get first place this time, I can be directly admitted to the artificial intelligence department of University A, and I don’t have to take the college entrance examination.”

Yu Xi suddenly realized, and his eyes lit up: “Admission by recommendation, that’s great! You can do it!”

It was simply amazing that he was admitted to the university in the first year of high school. Gu Beilu was just that amazing, he thought.

Gu Beilu looked at the little marshmallow with a happy face and smiled unconsciously.

After he finishes this competition, he can concentrate on being Yu Xi’s exclusive counselor and ensure that Yu Xi can be admitted to the Marine Science Department of A University.

That’s why he takes this competition so seriously.

The day after Fang Tian sent out birthday invitations to everyone, he unexpectedly received an invitational notice for a track and field club competition.

His coach said that this was a rare opportunity, that the club rarely invited high school students, and that this was a stepping stone for him to participate in the Universiade^[1]an international multi-sport event in the future. Fang Tian canceled the birthday party without a second thought.

Shen Di felt very sorry about this and complained on the way home from school: “I thought I could have some fun on the weekend, but it was all in vain.”

Su Weifan glanced at him and asked, “Are you ready for the final exam?”

Last night he was still worried that Gu Beilu couldn’t go. What would the scene be like if Yu Xi went?

Today, all problems are solved.

Shen Di retorted: “Study is study, play is play, one day is not too much.”

Lin Yun pinched his arm and said, “You only know how to play. I tell you, if you dare to rank last in the exam again, you’re doomed!”

Yang Hui was puzzled: “It seems that Fang Tian suddenly received an invitation from an ace club. Logically, such clubs rarely invite high school students, and it was such a sudden invitation.”

Gu Beilu heard their conversation and chewed gum calmly.

What a temporary thing, he arranged it weeks ago, when he first saw this person in Class 2 classroom.

As expected, Gu Beilu won the first prize. Yu Xi was even happier than him and posted several posts praising him on the campus forum.

Shen Di finally seized this opportunity and used the excuse of celebrating for him to take everyone out to play and arranged a one-day mountain climbing trip.

Because they had to stay in the suburbs for a whole day, everyone carried some food and first aid supplies. Yu Xi packed a lot of small cakes and milk in his bag before going out, and Gu Beilu quietly took them out and put them in his bag halfway.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and Yang Hui, Shen Di and Lin Yun, who did not exercise often, were obviously struggling.

As they walked, Yang Hui complained to Shen Di: “You said you wanted to go on a picnic, so why do you have to go hiking? Isn’t it better to go to the beach?”

Shen Di even helped Lin Yun carry her sketching supplies. He was so tired that he was panting, but he still said stubbornly: “What’s the point? You are so young, you should challenge yourself!”

Yu Xi was walking in front, and when he heard him gasping for breath, he turned around and held out his hand: “Shen Di, let me get this for you.”

Shen Di looked like he had seen a savior and handed the folder to him with both hands: “Xixi, you are the best! Just help me carry it for a while until we get to the mountainside!”

Yu Xi smiled and said, “It’s okay, give it to me.”

But before he could put the sketchbook on his shoulder, Gu Beilu took it.

Yu Xi: …

Gu Beilu is the one with the best stamina can take one step equal to two steps of others, and walks as steadily as a mountain without even taking a breath.

Yu Xi and Su Weifan exercised regularly, and climbing a mountain was considered part of their exercise routine. But in order to wait for the other three people, they slowed down.

After climbing for another thirty minutes, Shen Di regretted it and leaned aside, shouting that he wanted to rest: “I was wrong, I should have chosen the one by the sea…”

Yang Hui was so tired that he sat down on the stone steps: “What’s the point of you saying this now!”

Yu Xi also sat down and unzipped his backpack, wanting to get water for everyone, but he found that there was no water or milk in his bag, only several packs of wet wipes and napkins…

Gu Beilu handed him what he was looking for and said, “Here it is.”

Yu Xi looked up at him in surprise: “When did you take it away?”

No wonder he felt that climbing the mountain today was too easy. It turned out that his bag was empty.

Gu Beilu didn’t answer. He opened a bottle of energy drink, leaned against the tree trunk, raised his head and drank half of it.

Yu Xi noticed that his neck was a little red from the sun, so after distributing the drinks to others, he walked over with the sunscreen spray.

Gu Beilu looked at the spray in his hand and consciously tilted his head to expose his neck.

Yu Xi sprayed twice on his exposed skin.

After Yang Hui finished drinking the drink and regained his strength, he continued to complain: “If we were at the beach, we could all have a barbecue by now!”

Su Weifan also agreed: “After eating barbecue, we can lie on the beach to bask in the sun and play in the water for a while.”

Shen Di couldn’t beat them, so he joined in: “We can also paint on the rocks. Hey, do you know that there is a beach behind the mall where we watched a movie last time? There aren’t many people there. Let’s go there next time.”

Lin Yun nodded: “I agree, if I were at the beach I would have finished a sketch.”

Gu Beilu turned around and looked at Yu Xi.

When Yu Xi heard them discussing the beach, his face suddenly turned red. He shook the spray in his hand and pushed Gu Beilu’s face back with his other hand.

Gu Beilu chuckled, and only Yu Xi heard it.
