"Why? Sheng Feng is pretty good, he looks clean and has a good temperament." Yang Lu was puzzled, "Crab, do you have a boyfriend?"

Pang Qian didn't know how to answer, but thought for a while and said, "I do know a boy. I grew up with him. I made an appointment with him to take the exam to Shanghai together, but he went to another city. Sometimes I think, maybe we will fall in love with him together, but it is also possible that we will always be like before, just as we did. Now, we are in different cities, and he hasn't told me anything, and I don't know what kind of feeling I feel about him now. I made an appointment with him, and I will go to see him next summer vacation. I'm thinking, after seeing him, I will probably know what kind of existence he is in my heart. Maybe then, I will be with him."

Yang Lu bit the lollipop in her mouth, shook her head and said, "Long-distance relationship, I have always felt that there is no chance."

"Is that true?" Pang Qian looked at her in confusion, "Isn't it just four years, and I can meet in the middle."

"You are so simple." Yang Lu said, "If I were you, I would definitely consider Sheng Feng. Long-distance relationships are really unreliable."

Pang Qian pouted and said nothing.

Two days later, Sheng Feng accompanied Pang Qian to the computer market to get a computer. Pang Qian asked him to have a meal, and he agreed happily. At the dinner table, Sheng Feng tentatively tried Pang Qian, and Pang Qian pretended to be stupid. Sheng Feng was also a smart person. Seeing her reaction, he immediately stopped the topic and prevented the two of them from becoming embarrassed.

Gu Mingxi finally started school. Li Han accompanied him to the school to complete various admission procedures. He studied computer software engineering and was a good major at B University, but Gu Mingxi did not tell Li Han that he did not like this major.

He did not live in the dormitory. After getting up in the rental house, he washed his face and brushed his teeth and ate breakfast, and went to school with his backpack. After class at noon, he didn't have to go to the cafeteria to have lunch, and went back to the rental house to have lunch break. The same was true in the afternoon. The classmates in the class were very polite to Gu Mingxi and were willing to help him in life. However, after a while, Gu Mingxi did not make a new friend. Everyone nodded with him. He was very silent in the class. Several classmates talked about him privately, saying that he was physically disabled and his personality inevitably became strange and withdrawn.

Gu Mingxi himself also realized the problem. He was not an introvert, but he always had no desire to talk to the classmates in the class. He was alone here, and most of the classmates around him were from the north. Gu Mingxi tried to communicate with them, but all he got was a very polite response.

This is a two-sided problem. Gu Mingxi is unwilling to open his heart, so how could others try to understand him? In addition, Gu Mingxi does not live in school. He has to go back to the rental house for the rest of his time except for class and spending time with everyone, so he lacks the opportunity to communicate.

Li Han asked Gu Mingxi how he stayed in school. Gu Mingxi always reported good news but not bad news. He replied: "It's pretty good."

But in fact, he has no friends.

He gradually became a lone man, walking silently in school every day with his bag on his back. Unless it was raining, Li Han would carry an umbrella to send him to school and pick him up. At other times, he was alone. Gu Mingxi was not allowed to take physical education, elective classes were not allowed to take self-study, and he could not go to school for late self-study. Even if he held a class meeting, the class monitor did not notify him to attend. In short, he became a special existence.

Over the past few months, he contacted Pang Qian less and less, one because it was inconvenient, two because Pang Qian was very busy, and three because Gu Mingxi felt that he could not find the topic to talk to Pang Qian.

Pang Qian had a computer and connected to the Internet. Gu Mingxi lived in a rental house and had not yet opened the Internet cable, so the two of them could not chat online. Pang Qian's university life was rich and colorful, and she always told him excitedly where she went to play, what new clothes she bought, what new movies she watched, and what charity activities she participated in... She is in Shanghai, in that colorful international metropolis, how could she not find something to do? How could she be as bored as him?

City Z is really just a very small city. Gu Mingxi goes to school day after day to class. On weekends, he goes to his grandmother’s house for a meal, and goes to the new house with his mother to supervise the decoration.

Apart from that, he had no place to go.

In such a lifeless life, Gu Mingxi welcomed the first midterm exam in college. The result was beyond everyone's expectations. This top student who scored 641 points and failed many subjects.

After the grades came down, the counselor talked to Gu Mingxi, but didn't tell me the reason. He called Li Han again, believing that Gu Mingxi's grades were only temporary. After all, the study pressure in college was much smaller than in his third year of high school, and Gu Mingxi just failed to adapt to college life well.

Li Han finally realized Gu Mingxi's abnormality. When his son came back from get out of class, the mother and son exchanged face to face. During this period, Gu Mingxi had been thinking about something and repeatedly weighing the feasibility of this matter. Faced with Li Han's questioning, he finally mustered up the courage to say it out.

"Mom, I asked the school teachers about changing majors, but they all refused, saying that they would take the exam in June next year, and the minimum score for the majors they transferred must be lower than the original major, and there is no precedent for the low to high. However, the two majors I like, the college entrance examination admission scores are higher than my current major, so even though my college entrance examination scores can be fully qualified for those two majors, the school will not agree."

Li Han was confused: "Change majors? Why do you need to change majors if you are good at it? Isn't it good for computer majors?"

"I don't like it at all." Gu Mingxi said with a stubborn expression, "I never thought about learning computers before. I would rather learn English than learn computers."

Li Han said: "Son, it's not easy for you to go to college. You have taken good care of you at the University of B.A. After four years, you can get a bachelor's degree and maybe you can still be admitted to the postgraduate degree. It's also good to take out this academic qualification. Maybe you can find a good job."

Gu Mingxi said seriously: "Mom, I don't want to get a diploma in college. I really want to learn things, I want to learn majors I like, and have the capital to do my favorite job in my favorite job in the future."

"Then it's already like this now. You don't like computers and the school doesn't transfer you. What are you going to do? You just plan to fail every exam?" Li Han was a little angry, "Mingxi, you weren't so ignorant before!"

“I want to drop out of school.”

Gu Mingxi looked into Li Han's eyes and said, "I want to drop out of school. Mom, I think it's still time to go back to the college entrance examination. I still have half a year to get into a good university again. The key is that even a second-tier university is fine. I just want to choose the major I like."

Li Han was stunned: "Next year's college entrance examination, you are twenty years old, and you are twenty-four after graduation!"

"If I continue to read, it will be a waste of time." Gu Mingxi said, "I don't want to do computer work at all. What do I do when I read it!"

Li Han looked at him for a while and asked coldly: "Do you want to go to Shanghai for the exam?"

Gu Mingxi was silent for a while, nodded heavily with his lips pursed and said, "Well, I want to go to Shanghai for the exam."

Li Han stood up and left four words: "I don't agree."

In early December, it snowed in City Z. The dry snow, without a trace of rain, quickly accumulated on the ground.

Gu Mingxi couldn't afford to wear single shoes and went out. Li Han bought him a pair of cotton shoes. The style the old man wore was very thick and rustic, but it was easy to put on and take off. She also weaved warm open-toed socks for Gu Mingxi. Gu Mingxi no longer showed off and dressed up to class obediently.

He entered the classroom with a thick down jacket and sat in the last row. He shook off his backpack, raised his right foot to his chest, pulled down the zipper of the down jacket with his toes, and took off his coat.

Gu Mingxi sat next to the radiator. The school did not arrange special desks and chairs for him. Because he often changed classrooms for one class in college, the school asked Gu Mingxi to adapt by himself and write on ordinary desks like other classmates.

However, this is really difficult.

Gu Mingxi's backpack was on the ground. He lowered his head and took out the textbook for the class from his bag with his toes. When he was holding the pencil bag, he thought about it and gave up.

When the teacher was in class, he was basically in a daze. Those professional terms related to computers became increasingly unfamiliar and difficult to understand. Gu Mingxi looked at his two feet under the desk, and his toes were red and swollen. A few days ago, Li Han was uncomfortable. Gu Mingxi helped her wash clothes for several days, and they were rubbed with her feet. The water was so frozen that he suddenly developed frostbite, and all his ten toes were covered.

Now, when the heating blows, his feet itch violently, and Gu Mingxi rubs his feet to each other, so he feels a little bit better.

His and Li Han’s new home has been renovated. Li Han said that he would be vacant for more than a month and could move in before the Spring Festival.

Li Mu also took a fancy to a three-bedroom apartment, which was a new house. His old house was opened by the agency, and someone soon came to ask for the price. Li Mu and Li Han discussed that the money can only be bought after the old house was sold. The new house still took time to decorate, and it took at least half a year from buying it to moving in. During this period, he hoped to temporarily live in Li Han's new house with his parents, wife and son. Anyway, Li Han would accompany Gu Mingxi to study, so it would be more convenient to live in a rental house next to the school.

Li Han was already in a difficult situation at this time. So many people lived in the newly renovated house at once, and it would take another half a year to live. Anyone felt uncomfortable. She discussed this matter with Gu Mingxi. Gu Mingxi said: "There is no problem for grandparents to live there, but why doesn't my uncle's family rent a house like us?"

Li Han was speechless. Judging from Li Mu's meaning, Li Han and Gu Mingxi slept in their house for less than two months before, so they had reason to stay in Li Han's new home for a while.

Li Han said: "Your uncle's salary is not high, and it costs several hundred yuan to rent a house every month."

Gu Mingxi was dull for a while and said, "You have no objection to agree to me, but I can't go there to live there, so I would rather live in this rental house."

One day at noon, when Gu Mingxi came back from get out of class, he accidentally fell because of the snow and freezing on the road. The fall was a bit severe, and his chin hit the ground, breaking a hole.

Blood fell on the snow, red against white, shocking. Gu Mingxi gritted his teeth and got up. He was wearing a thick coat and his sleeves were bulging. Passersby did not notice his body abnormality. Snow wrestling was common, and when he saw him get up, no one came to help him.

Gu Mingxi twisted his neck and rubbed his tingling chin against his shoulders. His nose and ears were frozen red. He sat cross-legged on the snow. It took a lot of effort to carry his schoolbag again. After standing up, he found that his foot was also sprained.

He limped back to the rental house. Li Han was not at home, probably because he went to the new house. Gu Mingxi sat next to the radiator and baked his feet for a while before going to the bathroom to wash his face and feet.

Looking at the mirror, the wound on his chin had condensed, and it was actually one centimeter long. Gu Mingxi looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly laughed mockingly.

Gu Mingxi returned to the room and sent a text message to the class monitor, saying that he would take leave in the afternoon and not go to class anymore.

The squad leader replied soon: [No problem.]

Gu Mingxi is the only student in the class who can take leave at will, and he doesn't need to ask for a leave note at all.

Li Han left him food, but Gu Mingxi had no appetite, sat in the bed for a long time, and suddenly wanted to call his father.

A nineteen-year-old boy inexplicably wanted to ask for help from his father at such a confused moment. Even though his father had hurt him, at this moment, what Gu Mingxi remembered was only Gu Guoxiang's repeated admonitions and teachings to him.

After coming to City Z, Gu Mingxi had not called Gu Guoxiang to take into account his mother's mood. After the phone was connected, his father's calm and familiar voice sounded in his ears. Gu Guoxiang asked, "Hello, who?"

Gu Mingxi shouted softly: "Dad."

"Mingxi?" Gu Guoxiang was a little surprised, "Mingxi! Is it you?"

"Well, it's me." Gu Mingxi said, "Dad, how are you doing now?"

"Dad is very good, where are you? Are you and mom now?" Gu Guoxiang said, "I see the weather. It has been snowing several times in City Z. Is it very cold there? Are you still used to it?"

"It's okay." Gu Mingxi thought for a while and asked, "Dad, is the baby born?"

Speaking of this topic, Gu Guoxiang felt extremely complicated, and joy suddenly surged into his heart. He couldn't wait to share it, but when he thought that his seriously disabled eldest son was opposite the phone, he felt that saying this to Gu Mingxi might hurt his heart.

He simply replied: "Well, born, not yet full month."

"Are you a boy or a girl?"

"It's a girl, six pounds and eight pounds."

"What's her name?"

Gu Guoxiang said: "Her name is Gu Ziyue, Mu Xinzi, Yue is, with the moon with the character Wang plus the moon."

Gu Mingxi smiled: "Dad, congratulations."

Gu Guoxiang was stunned and his eyes became wet for no reason.

He asked: "Mingxi, how are you studying now? Are you still adapting to it in college?"

Gu Mingxi did not hide it from him. He made this call to tell me: "It's not interesting to learn well. I don't like this major."

When Gu Guoxiang heard his tone was wrong, he asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Gu Mingxi opened her mouth and was about to tell Gu Guoxiang what he thought, but suddenly a baby cries came from the phone. Gu Guoxiang immediately said: "Ah, Xiaoyue is crying, Mingxi, Dad has to coax the baby first. Dad has time to call you. Is this your mobile phone number?"

"……yes."

"Then let's do it first. I'll die. Take care of yourself."

Gu Guoxiang hung up the phone, Gu Mingxi loosened his cheeks and his phone fell to the bed with a "splash".

He sat for a while, dialed his cell phone with his toes and called another phone number.

"Hey, Gu Mingxi?" Pang Qian smiled in surprise on the phone, "What a coincidence, I just wanted to send you a text message. Have you had a meal?"

He lied: "Eat."

"I ate braised pork ribs and shredded cabbage today, and then I actually had sweet and sour pork ribs again. Oh, so annoying! You don't know how delicious the sweet and sour pork ribs in our cafeteria are!" Her voice was chaotic, "Wait a moment, I'll climb onto the bed first."

Pang Qian slept on the upper bunk. After she got on the bed, she pulled the curtains, got into the quilt, and quietly called Gu Mingxi: "Is it cold there? Is it snowing?"

"Yeah, it's snowing."

"Be careful of frostbite on your feet, and you must not wear single shoes when you go out!"

He smiled: "I know."

"Gu Mingxi, you have replied to me so few text messages recently. What are you busy with?" Pang Qian asked, "You are not in love, are you?"
