MTL - After I Was Reborn, I Devoted Myself To My Career-Chapter 51 Decide
As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the first day of school came to an end. Five minutes later, a strong noise broke out in the teaching building.
Qi Zhaohan put one or two new books just released today in his schoolbag, and then Wei Lifeng and Tao Shuran walked out.
"I haven't waited a day for Gu Ze's call, is he angry?" Tao Shuran jumped two flights of stairs, then turned around and asked.
Qi Zhaohan's footsteps stopped, and he said softly: "It was my negligence, I will explain it clearly to him."
"It's also my fault. There were too many things during the summer vacation. Aze went to his grandmother's house as soon as he was on vacation. It's normal to make some mistakes. I just happened to go to his house tonight. Just explain to him. At worst, he's here Transfer to another school." Seeing that he blamed himself so much, Wei Lifeng comforted him.
It's just that he didn't know that the sentence of transferring to another school made Qi Zhaohan's nerves tense immediately. He forced a smile, thought for a while, and said: "I remember that your home is a little far away from his home, so forget it, a phone call I'm going to calm him down."
"That's fine, I'll leave it to you, Zhaohan." Wei Lifeng thought of the conflict between the two, and it happened that this was also an opportunity to ease the relationship, so he didn't say anything, and readily agreed.
At the school gate, after the three parted, Qi Zhaohan turned around and got into his car.
No words were spoken all the way, and there was a compelling silence in the car.
Qi Zhaohan looked out of the window with an inexplicable expression, his thoughts drifted to the distance.
In fact, Wei Lifeng's proposal is very good, provided that he and Gu Ze have no such embarrassing past.
Just now when Wei Lifeng said that he could transfer schools, he was shocked. He didn't want to be in the same school as Gu Ze, but he couldn't tell them clearly, so he could only find an excuse to make them stop taking care of this matter.
After you go back, call Gu Ze to apologize. By the way, Gu Ze would never want to stay under the same roof with him for another three years.
At seven o'clock in the evening, after dinner, Qi Zhaohan returned to the room. He pulled out the chair and sat down. He took out the mobile phone with one hand and skillfully entered the mobile phone number. After typing, he didn't press the dial button for a long time. .
The young man showed a wry smile, and in the next moment he cleared the phone numbers one by one. Gu Ze has never used this number, but he has already formed a conditioned reflex. Whenever he thinks of Gu Ze, he subconsciously inputs this string of numbers with his fingers.
Gu Ze had such a profound influence on him, which he never expected.
But it also proved his decision, he and Gu Ze must never have any more contact.
———
Since Gu Ze came back, he went straight back to his room without even eating.
He was playing with his mobile phone, with hesitation and apprehension on his face, he wanted to make a call with Qi Zhaohan, and he could say anything, even if it was something insignificant, so that his heart, which had been worrying about gain and loss all day long, would settle down.
But when he thought that Qi Zhaohan didn't want to have more contact with him, and the courage he mustered up was like a balloon pricked by a needle, Gu Ze put his phone down on the desk in a sluggish manner.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Gu Ze quickly cleaned up his expression and called out, "Please come in."
Gu's mother came in, holding a small bamboo basket in her arms, with a mysterious tone: "Xiao Ze, do you see if these are your things? I found them in the storage room downstairs."
"What is it?" Seeing his mother's mysterious appearance, Gu Ze couldn't help being a little curious, and he reached out to take the bamboo basket.
The bamboo basket is very delicate, only about the size of two open hands. Inside are an excerpt book, a small toy car, a few pens and erasers, and some scattered gadgets that cannot be named. .
Gu Ze looked at it casually, and said, "It should be something from my childhood, it's useless."
"Well, I thought it was something you treasured." Gu's mother was a little disappointed. Seeing that her son didn't seem very happy today, she just found this small bamboo basket again, so she wanted to bring it as a little surprise for her son. Make him happy too.
Mother Gu glanced casually, and wanted to look away, but her gaze stayed on one thing: "What is this? A photo?"
She reached out to pick up the excerpt, and tore off a thin photo from behind the cover of the excerpt.
The photo is attached to the cover of the excerpt book upside down. The two are about the same size. The cover of the excerpt book and the back of the photo are both white. If you don't look carefully, it is easy to miss.
"It's a group photo of your four children. When was this photo taken?" Mother Gu looked at it carefully, a little curious.
Gu Ze took the photo, and when he saw clearly the person in the photo, he was also stunned.
It was a group photo of the four of them together. Tao Shuran was smiling brightly. Wei Lifeng put his hand on Tao Shuran's head in a funny way like a rabbit. He was standing next to Wei Lifeng with a smile on his face.
...and the boy next to him, standing sideways, staring straight at the camera with a blank expression, with a lonely and cold demeanor that makes people dare not play with him.
Gu Ze didn't realize that his eyes had already been firmly glued to the boy. He looked at the photos over and over again, and ignored his mother's nagging.
Gu's mother yelled twice, but her son didn't respond and kept staring at the photo. She curled her lips. The duplicity child obviously wanted to be friends with Xiaohan, but he still kept his mouth stubborn.
But she still didn't interrupt, walked out of the room gently, and closed the door intimately.
After watching it a few times, Gu Ze noticed something different. The boy's hand seemed to be showing a little bit. If you look closely, it's not a stretching gesture, but a fist. Why is he making a fist? Is he nervous?
This is a movement that Gu Ze accidentally discovered in his previous life. As soon as Qi Zhaohan walked up to him, his hands would unnaturally clenched into fists, and the tips of his ears were red.
He moved his eyes to the boy's ears in the photo, and sure enough, the ears were very red.
At this time, the cell phone, which had been left out for a long time, rang.
Gu Ze's already relieved mood suddenly lifted again. He unconsciously held his breath and reached for the phone. When he looked carefully, his fingers trembled slightly.
When the three words Qi Zhaohan came into view, Gu Ze's breath was stagnant, and there was a look of ecstasy in his brows and eyes.
He brought the mobile phone to his ear, and after a short electric current, the young man's clear voice reached his ears.
"Hey, Gu Ze, did I bother you?"
"No, no, I have nothing to do now." Gu Zeqiang replied from his calm and excited mood.
Even though he concealed a lot, the different tone from usual aroused Qi Zhaohan's suspicion.
Qi Zhaohan moved the phone away, glanced at the caller suspiciously, and after confirming that it was Gu Ze, he said again: "Gu Ze, I forgot to tell you about the transfer to No. 3 Middle School. I'm really sorry. Don’t blame the two of them, it’s entirely my fault, even if you weren’t there at the time, I should have made it clear to you.”
Gu Ze quickly said: "It's okay, I'm a little busy during the summer vacation, we rarely meet each other, and you are busy with company affairs, I don't blame you."
"You come to No. 3 Middle School too, Li Feng and Ran Ran are both here." Qi Zhaohan paused, then said again.
Hearing this, Gu Ze glanced at the calendar in disbelief. What kind of a good day is today? Not only did Qi Zhaohan call him, but he no longer rejected being on the same occasion as him?
"However, in order to abide by the agreement between the two of us, I will transfer to another school. I wish you all success in your three years of high school." Qi Zhaohan said frankly.
He didn't explain this clearly at the time, and it was really inappropriate for Gu Ze to stay in Experimental High School alone, so the only way was for him to transfer to another school.
Gu Ze fell into an ice cave, "I didn't make any agreement with you! Besides, you didn't even care about Tao Shuran in order to avoid me?"
"Is that why you hate me so much?"
Qi Zhaohan blinked his eyes, somewhat puzzled why he reacted so strongly, and explained: "It's not a question of whether you like it or not, you also know that the relationship between the two of us is very awkward, even if we get together, there is nothing to talk about. Not to mention getting along day and night in the same class."
"Ran Ran and Li Feng are very smart. After a long time, they will always see some clues. Ran Ran is also a curious baby, and he likes to get to the bottom of it. In order not to let the two of them be caught between us, it is difficult to do so, so we remain friends in front of them. Isn't it a good illusion?"
The young man's clear voice was still passing through the phone to his ears, but Gu Ze could no longer hear it clearly, and there was only one thought in his mind, "Qi Zhaohan still doesn't want to be friends with him."
"Besides, there have been so many troubles in the past twelve years. Thinking about it, you don't want to appear in the same place with me again. This decision should be happy for everyone. And I have thought about it. You are just not used to the friend you grew up with becoming a stranger for a while. People, after a long time, they will be connected, so don’t force yourself.” Qi Zhaohan seldom said so much, but in order to solve the problem once, he still explained it persuasively.
Gu Ze's heart twitched violently, and a huge sense of panic rose again. He repeatedly said: "I don't force it, I don't mind getting along with you at all!"
Qi Zhaohan was stunned, and after a while he said: "Are you sleepy? Then I won't bother you, good night."
He hung up the phone neatly, with a gloomy expression, and it took him a long time to show a self-deprecating smile.
Gu Ze must be sleepy and his mind is not clear, otherwise how could he say such nonsense.
Will Gu Ze not care about his entanglement, and still want to get along with him? The joke is not funny at all.
———
The busy sound on the phone was next to his ears, but Gu Ze didn't take the phone away for a long time.
The light in the room was not turned on. He held the phone in his left hand, and groped for the boy's face in the photo with his right hand. His expression was hidden in the darkness and he couldn't see clearly.
Why, Qi Zhaohan just refused to believe him?
