Teacher Cao took a sip of water and said earnestly, "Also, Pang Qian, you and Gu Mingxi are just in the first grade of the Chinese New Year. You should study hard at this time and don't think about some messy things. Gu Mingxi is a simple person. He is a boy and has poor health. If you treat him well, he will probably have some small thoughts on you. This is normal. It is not easy for the teacher to talk to him, for fear of hurting his self-esteem. But you should be sensible, Pang Qian, you can't use him! Gu Mingxi's future is only the path of studying. He works so hard that you can't distract him!"

After hearing this, Pang Qian had completely lost her desire to argue. She held her hands, tilted her head, and pointed her toes at the ground. She looked at the floor in a bit, and didn't care about Teacher Cao chatting there.

When Teacher Cao talked a lot about it again and asked Pang Qian to make sure that he would not be the case. When other teachers in the office looked at Pang Qian, Pang Qian finally spoke.

She said: "Teacher Cao, I asked for a seat change. I don't want to be a deskmate with Gu Mingxi."

Pang Qian walked out of the office and walked along the corridor toward the classroom. As she walked, she finally couldn't help crying.

It was just after school that the students who knew the final exam results passed by her in groups of three or three. They were either excited or lost, chattering along the way, and occasionally someone looked at Pang Qian curiously.

Pang Qian wiped away tears with the back of her hand and returned to the classroom with her head down.

Most of the students had left, and the student on duty was preparing to clean up. Pang Qian walked to Gu Mingxi and silently packed her schoolbag. Gu Mingxi sat on the chair and looked at her quietly.

After she stood up and carried her schoolbag on her shoulders, Gu Mingxi called her: "Pangpang."

He stood up and stood in front of Pang Qian, but Pang Qian turned around and avoided him. Gu Mingxi once again walked around her and blocked her at the table.

Pang Qian had no way out, so she could only lower her head deeply. Gu Mingxi bent down slightly to look at her. After a long time, she asked, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with Teacher Cao asking you for?"

"It's okay." Pang Qian replied in a low voice, "Let's go home, the cartoon is about to begin."

Gu Mingxi wanted to ask again, but several students who were cleaning the classroom started to make excuses because Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian's posture was really ambiguous. He blocked her in the dead corner formed by the table and the wall, and even leaned forward. The distance between them was very close, so close that they could clearly feel each other's breath. Several boys held brooms and whistled, and some even shouted: "Gu Mingxi! Kiss one!"

Gu Mingxi had to stand up and take a step back, his cheeks flushed. Pang Qian raised her head, her eyes were red, and she stared at the boys who were making excitement fiercely.

They did not notice Pang Qian's strangeness and were still joking. Mo Xiaogang even blocked another boy in the corner of the blackboard like Gu Mingxi, and even huddled his hands in his sleeves, lowered his arms and shook them beside him. The blocked boy pinched his throat and screamed: "I hate it, don't be close to you!"

The onlookers looked like they wanted to laugh but couldn't. Gu Mingxi gritted his teeth and lowered his eyes. Just as he was about to ask Pang Qian to leave, the girl in front of him was already strode towards the podium.

She picked up the chalk box on the podium and raised it high. Seeing that she was about to fall on Mo Xiaogang's head, Gu Mingxi exclaimed: "Pang Qian!"

But the chalk did not fall. Someone grabbed Pang Qian's wrist from behind. She looked back with tears in her eyes and found that it was Xie Yi who had just returned from playing basketball.

Gu Mingxi had already run to Pang Qian and looked at her with a frown. Xie Yi took the chalk box from Pang Qian's hand expressionlessly. He glanced at Mo Xiaogang, turned around and walked around the classroom corridor. While walking, he poured the chalk to the ground and stepped on it a few feet as if nothing had happened. The chalk broke all over the ground, and the gray foam made the ground dirty.

Everyone was silent. Xie Yi walked back to the podium, threw the empty box on Mo Xiaogang, and said coldly: "It's very boring? Sweep the floor first."

Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian rode home together, but Pang Qian didn't say anything. Gu Mingxi observed her for a long time and said, "Pang Qian, don't worry about what they said."

He called her full name and said that he attached great importance to the conversation, but Pang Qian still said nothing.

Gu Mingxi thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes? I'll treat you to it."

Pang Qian: “…”

"Or, eat candied haws?"

“…”

"Sauce-fried chestnuts, fried rice cakes, and grilled sausages?" Gu Mingxi said the same thing. These are all things Pang Qian likes to eat, "Fried stinky tofu, tribute balls, KFC?"

“…”

He smiled on his face, and he didn't seem to be angry at all because of what happened before: "I treat you to eat whatever you want. Today, you have improved so much, so I will reward you..."

It would be fine if he didn't mention this topic. When he mentioned this topic, Pang Qian immediately felt a lot of complicated emotions. She interrupted him loudly: "Who wants you to reward! Who wants you to reward! You want to eat so much, you can eat it yourself! You have been the first in the grade! The one you should reward is yourself! I don't have the right to benefit from you!"

Gu Mingxi was confused by her words holding a gun and a stick, and she shouted angrily: "Pangpang..."

He was very innocent, his eyes were so pure that they were almost transparent. Pang Qian knew that she was too much, but she felt really wronged and no one could tell her, so she had to vent her anger on Gu Mingxi.

She won't get angry if she recognizes him. In fact, Teacher Cao is right, she always bullies him.

Tears were about to flow out again. Pang Qian gritted her teeth and shook her head, hummed, and before she could cry in front of Gu Mingxi, she rode forward faster.

Every time she quarreled with him, she always used this trick to deal with him. She knew that Gu Mingxi could not chase her. If he rode the bike fast, it would be difficult to brake and easily fall. In fact, he had indeed fallen on the road for the past semester, but he did not tell his parents, but just asked Pang Qian to go to the roadside pharmacy to buy a band-aidai and help him stick it on the broken skin.

After the final exam, the students can rest at home for two days, and Pang Qian no longer has to go to Gu Mingxi's house to do homework. She was very depressed and stayed at home to watch TV and comics every day. Gu Mingxi came to find her, but she hid in the room and refused to see him. Gu Mingxi waited in the living room for half an hour, and finally returned home helplessly.

Pang Qian knew that she was unreasonable, so Gu Mingxi did nothing wrong. On the contrary, he helped her a lot. If it weren't for him, her grades wouldn't have improved so much.

However, it was precisely because of him! She was rumored and always sat in the corner of the classroom and could not make new friends. Even Wang Tingting was a little distant. Now the teacher thought she copied his homework and peeked at his test paper! Teacher Cao actually said that she used him! What Pang Qian couldn't bear the most was that she didn't know until this time that she could enter the fast class of Yuanfei Middle School because she was Gu Mingxi's six-year deskmate!

It was really ironic. She lay on the bed and thought angrily that in the eyes of the classmates, she was Gu Mingxi's "girlfriend". In the eyes of the teachers, she was probably Gu Mingxi's nanny!

The last time she went to school to get a report sheet before the winter vacation, Pang Qian did not go with Gu Mingxi, and she didn't care how he went to the school. In short, she didn't want to talk to him for the time being.

At first, Gu Mingxi didn't understand why Pang Qian was angry at all. Until he and Liu Hanlin went to the bathroom together, Liu Hanlin complained and said, "Gu Mingxi, don't let crabs peek at the exam in the future. Her scores were so high, it would be too unfair to others." Gu Mingxi only knew what Pang Qian had encountered.

Before school, he wanted to talk to Pang Qian, but was called to the office by Teacher Cao. Before he left, he said to Pang Qian who was tidying up his schoolbag: "Pang Pang, wait for me and leave together later."

Pang Qian lowered her head, pouted, and ignored him.

In the office, facing Teacher Cao's endless teachings, Gu Mingxi finally learned the "truth" completely. He could no longer remain silent and said, "Teacher Cao, I promise you that Pang Qian did not peek at me during the exam, not at all! Her grades were all obtained by herself!"

Teacher Cao waved his hand and said impatiently: "Gu Mingxi, you don't have to help her. I know that in life you are good friends who grew up together, but you don't help her protect her like this? You're hurting Pang Qian! You said that Pang Qian got the exam by herself? How do you tell me to believe it? In just two months, her English mathematics can be upgraded from over 60 to 90? It would be fine if she hired a tutor or asked the teacher's questions, but she didn't, not once!"

Gu Mingxi shrugged anxiously and said, "No, in fact, Pang Qian she every day..."

"Okay, stop talking." Teacher Cao stood up and carefully patted Gu Mingxi on the shoulder. For a young class teacher, a disabled student in the class must have worried her more. She acted very kindly towards Gu Mingxi, but in fact she was a little alienated. She was even a little scared like a physical contact with the shoulder. She usually tried to avoid it.

She continued, "Gu Mingxi, don't think too much. The teacher even tells you that you have good grades and can't cheat students without principles like this. Even if you change your deskmate in the future, you have to stick to your bottom line, do you know?"

Gu Mingxi captured the point in Teacher Cao's words, suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "Change a deskmate?"

Teacher Cao nodded: "Well, Pang Qian has communicated with me. After the next semester starts, she will not be at the same table with you. The teacher will help you arrange it and choose a good student..."
