Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight.

Xu Lian didn't say when he would be back. Gu Chen spent two days at home in a daze. Except for eating, drinking and going to the bathroom,

he basically never left the room. It was a rare Monday morning when he overslept. When he arrived at school, the flag-raising ceremony had already begun.

Gu Chen walked quickly towards the classroom with his schoolbag on his back. He wanted to put down his schoolbag and go downstairs quickly, but when he reached the back door of the classroom, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

He and Lu Xun's seats were diagonally opposite the door. There was a plastic box on his desk, which seemed to contain some cakes. There was nothing on Lu Xun's desk, only a cotton doll.

Unlike the blue-haired one from the previous two days, this one looked smaller, with brown curly hair, so thick that it covered his ears, wearing overalls, and a well-behaved smile.

In an instant, Gu Chen remembered the letter again. He stared at the little doll intently and slowly walked to his seat. What

Gu Chen didn't know was that when he was looking at the doll, the doll was also looking at him, and in a layer that he couldn't see, it looked tangled and aggrieved.

"Grandpa." Geography choked up as he pressed the microphone, "Brother seems to really not recognize me."

"I told you that when he went back, because of the wave-particle duality... cough, it's a bit complicated, you'll understand when you grow up!"

"...Oh." Geography pulled his head, "Then brother Zheng and the others haven't come back, are they also amnesiacs?"

"What did I teach you before? You should diverge questions within a reasonable range. I only know about Gu Chen's situation. The rest..." Biology chattered a bunch of theories through the headset, until the curious baby was dizzy and lost all curiosity, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

If the truth is really told, what if this child doesn't want to go back at that time? That would be terrible.

Gu Chen opened the plastic box, and there were six golden shortbreads neatly arranged inside, and a small rose was outlined in the middle of each shortbread with red ink.

Gu Chen's fingertips trembled slightly, and he smelled the fragrance of the shortbread, and his heart began to beat.

Although the smell of flower cakes is not much different, there are still slight differences in the taste when made by different people.

And the one in front of him smells...

Gu Chen picked up a piece. Although the box was placed on his desk, according to his previous personality, he would never touch anything whose origin he didn't know.

But this small box of cakes in front of him seemed to have some magical power.

Gu Chen put the cake to his mouth and took a bite. Then, his eyes suddenly widened.

Exactly the same. Exactly

the same as what he made himself.

"The flower cakes made by my brother are very delicious. Brother Lu should try them when you have a chance!"

"I have already tasted them."

"A few days after you became a doll, you made flower cakes for a little doll named Dili..."

The scattered lines of memory floated up and down, gradually twisting together in the blank consciousness, and snap-

the flower cake fell from his fingers and fell back into the plastic box.

Dili looked at Gu Chen and frowned slightly, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, and kept muttering in his heart-

why didn't the big brother eat it.

Is it not delicious?

Woo, but I made it according to the recipe he gave me at that time.

Am I too stupid.

With his lips pursed up and down, Dili suddenly felt like crying.

Big brother doesn't remember him.

Big brother doesn't like the food he cooks.

Woo——

Before he finished feeling melancholy, he saw Gu Chen suddenly looking over.

Geography was startled.

Gu Chen took a deep breath, put his hands on the edge of the table, and leaned slightly towards Lu Xun's table. The wall clock behind the classroom was ticking. One second seemed as long as a year.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Chen heard himself speak.

"...Are you Geography?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound behind him. It was like the sound of the soles of shoes rubbing against the ground when you suddenly brake halfway through walking.

Gu Chen turned his head and saw Lu Xun standing at the door. He stood against the light, his body hidden in the darkness, only his eyes were exceptionally bright, with a heavy light in them, staring at him without blinking.

Gu Chen immediately retracted his body.

His face was calm, and outsiders couldn't see any clues at all.

Only Gu Chen himself could feel that his heart was beating almost against his throat.

He leaned over to get his textbook from his schoolbag. There was always a string hanging in his head. He listened to Lu Xun's footsteps approaching from afar, and paused slightly when he passed behind his chair.

Gu Chen's breathing tightened. He didn't know if Lu Xun had heard the question he asked just now, but he spoke very softly, so he shouldn't have...

He couldn't explain why he was so nervous. If the letter was pure nonsense, then even if Lu Xun saw his behavior just now, he could just make up an excuse like he was not awake or suddenly became stupid.

Unless.

The beating of his heart went all the way along the nerve endings to his fingertips. Gu Chen vaguely realized that he seemed to believe it.

If what was said in the letter was true. Then between him and Lu Xun...

His current memory could not match the full emotions in the letter at all. Even he himself could hardly imagine that such emotional words would be written by him.

Gu Chen took a deep breath.

He liked and always tried to find the calmest position in all events to stand down, so that he would not be too passive. In this case, limited by his disordered memory, he couldn't find the location at all. If he asked Lu Xun rashly, he would probably be disturbed by strong emotions.

He didn't want that.

He heard the sound of the stool legs dragging on the ground. He glimpsed Lu Xun sitting down from the corner of his eye. Gu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't hear it...

Lu Xun: "You..."

"Is this for me?" Gu Chen put one hand on the plastic box of cakes and smiled easily.

Lu Xun glanced at him with deep eyes.

Gu Chen felt uneasy. Seeing that he didn't speak, he said to himself: "Sorry..."

He scratched his head and seemed a little embarrassed: "I thought it was for me. I opened it and it smelled very fragrant, so I ate a piece."

This was actually very disrespectful to Gu Chen, and Gu Chen himself felt embarrassed.

But forget it, people are multifaceted. Lu Xun didn't know all of him...

Gu Chen was covering his head and preparing himself mentally when he saw Lu Xun suddenly picked up the doll on the table.

"What did you say to him just now?" Lu Xun spoke slowly, his tone unpredictable.

"...Nothing." Gu Chen was unsure again, but he really hadn't decided whether to break this window paper, so he continued to play dumb, "Oh, I said he was cute."

In the invisible layer, Dili was jumping up and down in Lu Xun's hands.

Big brother said I was cute! Brother Lu, did you hear that!

Lu Xun had no intention of playing silly with his child.

When he was a child, he learned to fly a plane with his brother in Hawaii. At that time, he had his hearing tested

and found that he could compete with professional pilots. Although Gu Chen spoke very quietly just now, he was sure that he had not heard wrongly.

...Why didn't he admit it?

Was that sound an instinctive coincidence or was it simply...

Lu Xun asked himself that he had never been a person who worried about gains and losses. It was more in line with his style to point it out directly.

But for some reason, he was a little scared at this moment.

He was afraid that Gu Chen would remember it, and he was afraid that he would remember it but wanted to erase that memory

. Thinking about it carefully, although they had lived under the same roof for three months, he knew some of Gu Chen's little habits and hobbies, and even investigated his family background, but in the final analysis, they didn't really talk to each other.

People are multifaceted, and their thoughts change rapidly. Although Gu Chen was crying in the ward at that time, at this moment, he was a little unsure of Gu Chen's thoughts.

"It's for you." Lu Xun felt as if blood was boiling in his throat. "Is it delicious?"

"Very delicious." Gu Chen smiled flawlessly. "Thank you."

"...As long as you like it." Under the seemingly calm tone, the restless emotions were getting more and more intense.

Gu Chen put the box into the desk, thinking that he had temporarily put the matter behind him. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, an arm heavily rested on the back of the chair behind him.

Gu Chen's eyelids jumped. The next second, he felt a burning breath wrapped around him.

Lu Xun frowned, but in the end he couldn't resist the impulse in his body.

He leaned over, locked the person between the desk and his arms, and asked clearly: "Don't you think it tastes a little familiar?"

Ten fingers suddenly tightened, and Gu Chen didn't even dare to raise his eyes.

"Yes, it tastes a little familiar." He raised the corner of his mouth calmly, "It's exactly the same as what I ate in Yunnan."

Lu Xun narrowed his eyes. The air in the classroom seemed to be stagnant, and every second seemed to be as long as an hour.

The two maintained the same posture.

Gu Chen had never felt such pressure before. Lu Xun was suppressing him. The air between them seemed to have reached a certain ignition point and would explode at any time. Although the other party only asked that one question, he had the urge to tell everything.

"Wow~~!!"

A scream suddenly came from the back door.

Several boys who ran up first after the exercise stood outside the door, looking at Lu Xun and Gu Chen as if they were watching a blockbuster movie.

"...Brother Lu." Qi Xiang blinked, "Didn't you say you came up to catch up on your sleep? How come..."

"Silly." The boy next to him nudged him, "Why catch up on your sleep when you see a top student."

"That's right, every time I see my wife, she is very energetic."

Gu Chen: "..."

During this period, the artificial gossip about Lu Xun and Gu Chen was widely circulated in the school forum. At first, everyone only dared to surf the Internet and make jokes, after all, these two people were usually a little out of touch with the world. Until later, they heard that Lu Xun actually used the things in the post to joke with Gu Chen.

"It's my duty to buy lunch for my boyfriend."

"If I were an Alpha, what do you think I would taste like?"

What's even more amazing is that Gu Chen didn't seem to be particularly opposed to it.

Since the two parties were very receptive, the bystanders began to become unscrupulous.

"That Lu Ge, the academic master." Several boys became more and more excited, "How about we avoid him for a while?"

Lu Xun looked at Gu Chen and nodded: "I'll treat you to lunch at noon."

?

Seriously?

"There will be a math test in the first class!" Gu Chen raised his eyes nervously, his eyes directly hit Lu Xun's eyes, and he even saw his own reflection in the other's pupils.

His heartbeat jumped to a peak.

Lu Xun looked solemnly at the person in front of him who finally revealed a trace of panic.

The bustling voices gradually came from outside, from vague to clear. It was the sound of a large group going upstairs.

His arm and half of his shoulder gradually tightened. Lu Xun looked at Gu Chen solemnly for a long time before slowly taking his hand back from the back of the chair.

In the next two days, although Gu Chen explained the questions to Lu Xun as usual and Lu Xun listened as usual, both of them could feel that the atmosphere between them had changed.

It was as if there was an invisible wall that forcibly separated the air that was originally flowing between them.

"That's about it." After Gu Chen finished explaining the questions to Lu Xun, he stuffed the textbook back into his schoolbag. "The final exam is tomorrow, go home early today." Lu

Xun glanced at the clock in front of the podium. It was 5:30 in the evening, which was past the normal school dismissal time. But before, when Gu Chen explained the questions to him, he would usually explain until 7 o'clock. The two of them would have a meal with the boarding students in the school cafeteria and then go home separately.

But in the past two days, Gu Chen kept saying that he had something to do at home, and he finished earlier and earlier every day.

"The final exam is tomorrow." Lu Xun looked at the person who was organizing his schoolbag next to him, "Can't you explain more to me today?"

If you listen carefully, you can hear that in Lu Xun's seemingly ordinary question, there is a hint of soft request.

However, Gu Chen was thinking about something, so he didn't notice it at all. He just smiled and said, "You know everything you should know. I have nothing to say."

This is not an excuse. If he hadn't seen Lu Xun's grades when he first started school, Gu Chen wouldn't have believed that he could master the entire high school knowledge to this extent in just one semester.

A few days ago, Qin Che said that before Lu Xun was in the second year of junior high school, he always won the first place in all exams, big or small, and any competition.

Gu Chen didn't know what happened in the meantime, but he felt that if Lu Xun had maintained his current learning momentum when he entered the first year of high school, he would probably have lost his position as the first in the grade.

This person is really amazing.

Gu Chen was in a trance and couldn't help but look to the side.

It was just a casual glance, but he didn't want to bump into Lu Xun's eyes that were staring at him.

Gu Chen hurriedly dodged: "I'll go first."

He carried his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom. This month, it was still sunny at 5:30 in the afternoon. From upstairs to downstairs, there were few students. The halo flashed in front of Gu Chen's eyes, causing his thoughts to be a little trance. It's

not that he didn't know that his behavior just now would only make his relationship with Lu Xun more and more strange, but he still hadn't figured out what to do. His sleep quality has been getting worse and worse in the past two days, and the content of his dreams has been getting more and more complicated.

... Maybe he is too stubborn.

It might be best to ask Lu Xun directly.

He should trust Lu Xun.

In the classroom, Qi Xiang finished writing a test paper and felt a little sweat on his back. It was close to the end of the semester, and he was preparing to sprint. Today he stayed up a little later on purpose, but he didn't expect to inadvertently hear the episode just now.

"...Brother Lu." He turned his head and saw his brother Lu leaning back in his chair with a gloomy face. He couldn't help swallowing, "It's okay."

Lu Xun looked up at him, his face showed no clues: "What?"

Qi Xiang hummed. He thought he was somewhat insensitive to interpersonal relationships, but even he could sense that something was not right between his brother Lu and the top student these past two days.

Although he didn't know what happened, after his bold hypothesis, careful verification, and brave experiment, he felt that it seemed that the top student had more defense and his brother Lu couldn't get in.

"There will be an exam soon. The top student may be under a lot of pressure from studying. It will be fine after this period. As the saying goes, there is no overnight grudge."

Lu Xun raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"

"That." Qi Xiang scratched his head, and a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, "Oh! Husband and wife don't..."

Sizzle -

the sound of the stool legs scraping across the ground. Qi Xiang watched Lu Xun stand up, blinked twice, and suddenly realized what he said!

"It's not Brother Lu..." Qi Xiang wanted to bite his tongue, and subconsciously wanted to stand up, but was pressed down by Lu Xun's shoulders.

Qi Xiang was about to cry: "Brother Lu, I mean..."

"This time in Chinese." Lu Xun patted Qi Xiang's shoulder, and the corners of his mouth that had been suppressed for a day slowly rose, "You will definitely be in the top ten in the grade."

Gu Chen's home is not far from the school, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk. All along the way, he was thinking about Lu Xun.

When crossing the road, he suddenly heard a girl behind him shouting: "Be careful!"

Gu Chen suddenly came to his senses, and saw a black car rushing from his right side, and hurriedly stepped back.

The car body almost passed in front of him, and the speed was so fast that it almost tore the air apart. If Gu Chen had reacted a little slower, he would probably have fallen on the road and couldn't get up.

He raised his head with lingering fear and found that he was standing on the crosswalk, and the pedestrian signal light in front of him showed green.

Gu Chen had walked back and forth on this road for two years, and he had already formed a conditioned reflex, and even had muscle memory of the traffic lights. Although he was thinking about something just now, he was sure that he should have started walking when the traffic light jumped.

But it is indeed possible that his conditioned reflex failed this time.

Gu Chen calmed down his breathing, turned around and was about to thank the kind-hearted person, when suddenly there was another loud whistle in his left ear.

The black car turned around again! The speed was even faster than before!

Gu Chen's pupils shrank sharply, and an outrageous idea almost instinctively rose in his mind: this car is coming for him.

He quickly backed away, trying to retreat to the curb, but the car was faster than him, and seemed to see Gu Chen's intention, and the front of the car slightly adjusted and rushed straight towards him.

It's over.

The pupils reflected the man in black in the driver's seat. In an instant, countless fragments suddenly flashed through his mind: the playground, the dark night, the skateboard, the blue-haired doll...

Thousands of fragments caused Gu Chen's temples to hurt violently, and at this moment, his wrist was suddenly grabbed from behind.

His body suddenly lost balance, and Gu Chen stumbled back a few steps, and then crashed into a strong and hot chest. Then his waist was clamped.

Lu Xun hugged Gu Chen and jumped onto the curb in a flash. Because he was in such a hurry, his back hit the electric pole next to him.

The black car didn't linger this time. The tires scraped the concrete ground and sped away at full power.

The surroundings returned to silence.

This road is not big, and there are usually few cars and pedestrians.

"Um..." The little girl who called Gu Chen at the beginning walked up carefully: "Are you okay?"

Gu Chen didn't know if he hadn't recovered from the crisis just now. His face was dazed. It took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Thank you, I'm not..."

As he said,

he looked at Lu Xun suddenly: "Are you okay?" Lu Xun leaned against the electric pole, one hand around Gu Chen's waist, the other hand hanging at his side, looking at him with an unpredictable expression.

Gu Chen pursed his lips uncomfortably, and his forehead was full of sweat.

Lu Xun raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his thumb. His movements were very light, but every time, it seemed to touch Gu Chen's nerves directly.

"The one that was in front of my house last time." He spoke slowly, his voice heavy, "Is it also a Buick?"

Gu Chen's face changed.

The passerby girl looked puzzled, but seeing that they seemed fine, she walked away silently.

As the sun set, Lu Xun was bathed in the orange-red light, and there seemed to be a flame in the depths of his pupils.

Gu Chen felt that every blood vessel in his body seemed to be expanding and vibrating, and the tension was even more intense than when he was almost hit by a car just now.

Lu Xun's hand slid down along the contour of Gu Chen's cheek, and his broad palm covered the artery on the side of his neck. This was an aggressive and even forced action.

But Gu Chen did not show any resistance. He closed his eyes for a long time, and then opened them again. The panic in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a deep calm.

"It's not a Buick." He stared at Lu Xun for a long time, and said word by word, "It's a Tesla."

The flowing air solidified in an instant, and time and space seemed to have lost their meaning. Only this small space was left between heaven and earth.

Gu Chen looked at the trembling pupils in front of him, and his heart swelled. Just as he was about to say something else, Lu Xun covered his lips fiercely.
