first love is a substitute

Chapter 11 Countdown

Because she secretly hid in the room crying last night, when she woke up this morning, Tang Yue's eyes were a little swollen.

While washing up in the morning, Tang Yue secretly applied it to her eyes, but it seemed that her eyes were still red and swollen.

With the schoolbag on his back, he turned into Cheng Cong again.

Cheng Cong walked to school, the distance was actually a bit long, so as usual, he almost got stuck in the classroom at the morning self-study point.

As soon as Cheng Cong entered the classroom, Gao Jun's eyes collided with each other, and he quickly looked away, because of what happened yesterday, the relationship between the two returned to the way it was before.

When Cheng Cong was stunned, the class bell rang. He hurriedly sat down in his seat, and hurriedly started to get his textbooks out. In the panic, a book flew out and landed on Gao Jun's feet. side.

Cheng Cong bent down and tried to pick it up, but Gao Jun reached out and picked up the textbook, and then gently put it in his hand.

"thanks……"

Cheng Cong thanked him with a guilty conscience, not even daring to look him in the eye.

Gao Jun felt inexplicably unhappy seeing him like this, and in the end he didn't say a word, turned his head and opened his textbook as if nothing had happened.

Cheng Cong quietly opened the book, his eyes sore.

※※※

Gao Jun's middle school is considered to be a relatively good middle school in the local area. The school spirit is strict, and the teachers are also strict. Basically, there will be a more formal quiz every week to test the students' learning situation this week.

As for the first quiz at the beginning of the school year, among the more than 40 students in the class, Cheng Cong scored fifth from the bottom in the class.

The results of each test will be posted on the blackboard at the back of the class. Every time the study committee takes the report card from the teacher and pastes it, a bunch of students will gather there, and Gao Jun never looks at it.

He knew very well how he was doing in the exam, and he always topped the list without any surprises, but today he got up from his seat and walked to the back of the classroom for the first time, because his little deskmate has been looking at the results since he read the results. Lie face down on the table, obviously depressed.

Gao Jun stood still in front of the blackboard, his eyes scanned the list one by one, and he saw Cheng Cong's name among the last few.

He turned his head to look at Cheng Cong, that guy had already turned over his test paper full of cross marks and began to correct his mistakes.

Gao Jun sighed and was about to walk over, but the class teacher came into the classroom.

The teacher in charge of the class smiled all over his face and prevented everyone from going to the playground for routine extracurricular activities. Finally, he waved to Gao Jun and said that he needed to find him.

Gao Jun glanced at Cheng Cong, nodded, and followed the teacher to the office.

The head teacher came to him mainly for the math competition a month later. Unfortunately, now Gao Jun is all attached to Cheng Cong, and he doesn't have the heart to listen to what the head teacher has to say. He can only stand there and wait for the head teacher. After the long talk, she quickly agreed to all her suggestions.

The homeroom teacher didn't seem to expect Gao Jun to agree so easily, after all, he didn't particularly like this kind of boring game in his opinion.

"Teacher, can I go to extracurricular activities?"

"Oh, yes, yes."

As soon as the head teacher finished speaking, Gao Jun had already run out of the office.

Gao Jun almost ran all the way to the place where everyone had extracurricular activities on weekdays, but he didn't see Cheng Cong.

Gao Jun asked a few classmates, and they all said they didn't see Cheng Cong.

Gao Jun frowned, then immediately turned around and walked towards the teaching building.

……

All the people went for extracurricular activities, and finally he was the only one left in the classroom.

Cheng Cong looked at his test paper full of mistakes, and the math problems he still couldn't do after reading for a long time. The emotions he had suppressed for a long time finally couldn't be depressed, and he lay down on the table and cried softly.

He knew it was embarrassing, but there was nothing he could do. He was helpless in this world, and the only thing he could do was to work hard, but he was just so disappointing.

He secretly told himself in his heart, just cry this once, anyway, no one saw, just... this once.

Just as he was quietly venting his emotions in the classroom, a cold voice suddenly came from above his head, "Do you think you can change the fact that you are counting down in the exam?"

Cheng Cong didn't expect that there would be people in the classroom at all, and he was not prepared to let others see him hiding and crying stupidly, so he raised his head all of a sudden, and his whole body was frightened.

There were tears on his face that were not wiped clean, combined with his eyes that were completely red from crying, Gao Jun, who was secretly angry in his heart, was stunned all of a sudden.

Cheng Cong saw that it was Gao Jun who quickly raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, and Gao Jun also looked away awkwardly because of his momentary loss of focus.

The two of them were silent for a while, Cheng Cong lowered his head and tears couldn't stop streaming down, accompanied by the faint sobs that didn't dare to amplify his voice, finally made Gao Jun's heart softened all of a sudden.

He sighed and sat down beside Cheng Cong, patiently began the first gentle comfort in his life.

"It's okay to fail the exam, at worst, I'll help you with tutoring..."

Cheng Cong didn't respond to these words, and still lowered his head, holding his test paper in his hand.

Gao Jun's ears turned slightly red imperceptibly, but he still refused to give up and continued, "I know all of these, at worst I'll help you with tutoring."

But Cheng Cong still didn't respond.

For the first time in young master Gao Jun's life, he felt the anxiety in people's mouths. He even clenched his hands slightly. When Cheng Cong still kept his head down and did not speak, and another tear fell on the table, he finally Unable to bear it, he took the other party's test paper.

Cheng Cong raised his head almost instantly and wanted to grab his test paper back, but Gao Jun took advantage of his height and long arms to lift the test paper so high that Cheng Cong pitifully wanted to get it back with red eyes Gao Jun naively refused to give him his own test paper.

Cheng Cong was in a hurry, and couldn't hold back his tears. He reached up anxiously with his two little hands, but they could only touch Gao Jun's arm.

Gao Jun was still trying his best to raise the test paper in his hand to prevent the other party from reaching it, but when the two of them pushed and pushed, he suddenly stopped.

He stayed there for a while, staring blankly at Cheng Cong's face. There were still tears in the corners of the other party's eyes, which made them look even brighter. He just looked at Cheng Cong like that, and felt that the other party was too good-looking to move. open your eyes.

Gao Jun suddenly felt that his heart skipped a beat, and after a moment of dazed effort, Cheng Cong, who stood on tiptoe, finally grabbed the corner of the test paper.

"Please give me..."

Unable to see his pitiful appearance, Gao Jun's chest felt hot and he let go.

Cheng Cong took back his test paper and hurriedly put it on the table to smooth out the folds that were pulled out by the two people, but Gao Jun looked down at the black head and fell silent, an inexplicable warm current surged through his chest .

Gao Jun stared at the exposed half of Cheng Cong's snow-white neck for a while, then sat down, and took Cheng Cong's test paper again without hesitation. Zhang Lian spread out the test paper, picked up the pen and pulled off the cap with one hand, reminding him without looking up, "Bring the calculation paper."

Cheng Cong stared blankly at him for a long time without any response, Gao Jun finally raised his head and looked at him, "Next time you want to take the bottom five?"

Cheng Cong's eyes got wet all of a sudden, and his chest felt warm. He quickly found the calculation paper from the hole in his desk and handed it to Gao Jun.

Gao Jun didn't say anything more, but immediately entered the state, just like a professional teacher, explaining each question carefully to Cheng Cong, and wrote down the steps on the paper.

Cheng Cong wiped away the tears from his face, then leaned beside Gao Jun, listening to him seriously.

Before you know it, a class is over, the bell rang, and students began to come in one after another. Gao Jun stopped the pen in his hand, lowered his head to meet Cheng Cong's gaze, and said in a low voice, "The remaining Let’s talk about it tomorrow, let’s go wash your face first.”

Cheng Cong froze, nodded quickly and took back his test paper.

Just when Cheng Cong was about to get up to wash his face, two girls came over.

One of the girls has a round face, big eyes, loose hair and looks like a little princess. She is Qiu Lili, an art and clerk in the class. She smiled at Gao Jun, and then said very politely, "Student Gao Jun, tomorrow is my birthday, can I invite you to my birthday party?"

Gao Jun raised his head when he heard the words, but he didn't react too much. He actually wanted to refuse. Before he could say anything, the other party had already smiled playfully, "You won't refuse the new classmate, right?"

Gao Jun was silent for a while, and then said, "I already have an appointment with Cheng Cong tomorrow, but if Cheng Cong is also in your invitation, I think I can."

The girl was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly realized that she went to invite Cheng Cong who was next to Gao Jun.

Cheng Cong looked nervous, looked at the smiling female classmate, and looked at Gao Jun beside him, but finally lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Sorry...I...I have something to do. Go to participate..." Then he quickly ran out of the classroom to wash his face, leaving behind Qiu Lili who was unresponsive and Gao Jun who was thoughtful.

……

Cheng Cong took the cold water and splashed it on his face. After splashing it several times, he felt that his slightly red eyes were much better.

Until now, his chest was still beating non-stop. He turned off the tap, thinking that class was about to start, and was about to return to the classroom when he turned his head and bumped against a strong chest.

Cheng Cong took a step back nervously, but when he looked up, he saw Gao Jun's face, the other party lowered his head slightly, his whole face was almost close to his.

The other party looked straight into his eyes and asked with a cold look on his face, "Why don't you go?"
