"I just delivered dinner to dad, and I happened to be following him." Gu Xing immediately retorted.
Of course Gu Pan knew that he was here to deliver food, so he left the store before he heard his father mention it.
But she just wants to find trouble.
"You ran very fast at noon today. You didn't even wait for me. You just skipped out after self-study..." Gu Pan has a gentle face, somewhat similar to the little Jew in the great era of Hong Kong dramas, but he speaks quickly and eloquently. His personality is completely opposite to his appearance. "Were you going to the Internet cafe again?"
Gu Xing ignored her at all.
The two of them were born on the same day and have been together for 18 years now. They have never dealt with each other, and being able to spend half an hour with each other in peace is a luxury.
Gu Xing looked at the girl next to his sister, "You're back?"
This is Shen Guanshan, who lives in the opposite house. He is in the same class as his brother and sister. He is very smart. Like Gu Xing, he participated in the National Mathematical Olympiad finals held in Yingtan at the end of last year.
It's just that Gu Xing only won the silver medal, but Shen Guanshan passed all the way to the final training team, and finally failed at the last step. He failed to pass the national team selection and just rushed back to Zhenhai from other places today.
She has short student hair and wears a gray loose sweatshirt and black sports pants. She is 1.7 meters tall and has fair skin. Although her eyebrows are a bit sharper than Gu Pan's, she is moderately sized and does not appear overly strong.
In Gu Xing's opinion, she looks much more pleasing to the eye than his sister.
"Long time no see." The girl's voice was very soft. She looked down at the suitcase. A gust of night wind blew her short black hair aside, revealing the red tips of her ears that were in great contrast with her skin tone.
Pan Pan glanced at his friend and immediately changed the subject, "Guan Shan, let's go quickly, I'm hungry!"
She dragged her best friend and ran into the community.
The wheels of the white suitcase rolled away on the concrete pavement.
Although the sky has not yet completely darkened, it is already dark in the corridor, and the stained glass connecting the platform has its own light-blocking effect.
It would be a bit troublesome to go up 7 floors in one go without lighting equipment.
Gu Pan stopped at the door of the residential building. The school usually checked her cell phone strictly, so she didn't bring it with her.
She turned sideways imperceptibly, and out of the corner of her eye she noticed Gu Xing following from a distance, apparently wanting to wait for them to leave first.
Shen Guanshan had a mobile phone. Before she could speak, she heard Gu Pan say something.
"Gu Xing, if you keep lingering, I will eat all the ribs in the house!"
Gu Pan knew that his brother was not getting along with him, so the more he urged him to walk faster, the slower he would walk.
But if we put it off any longer, the evening self-study at school will soon begin, and Gu Xing may have to go to class hungry.
Gu Pan was tough-talking but soft-hearted, so she chose to do the opposite.
As expected, Gu Xing immediately quickened his pace after hearing this.
"I'm not afraid to support you." He sneered, turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, picked up his suitcase, and walked into the corridor first.
Gu Pan felt relieved and followed behind with his friend on his arm.
Shen Guanshan thanked Gu Xing for helping carry the box, while his mind was racing at high speed.
She always couldn't understand how the Gu family siblings got along.
Gu Pan, who usually had a lot of dissatisfaction with Gu Xing, why did he suddenly change his temper?
Is there something wrong?
But until she climbed to the top floor, Shen Guanshan didn't understand that her skill points were not invested in this aspect at all.
Gu Xing watched as Shen Guanshan opened the security door opposite with the key.
It was pitch black inside.
This was originally the house of Shen Guanshan's grandparents. After their death, it was given to her parents who had been working hard away from home all year round.
Shen Guanshan usually boarded at school and only came back during holidays, which made the house look a bit deserted.
After putting the suitcase in, the three of them entered Gu's house.
Even though the sun is going down, the lights still keep the room warm and bright.
"Xiao Shen is here?" Mother Gu's voice was kind.
Shen Guanshan quickly smiled and bent down to take a new pair of slippers from Gu Pan and put them on.
"Come here and let Auntie take a look..." Gu's mother looked at her up and down with a smile on her face, "I went out for a training session and lost a little weight."
While the two of them were chatting, Gu Xing was finally able to get in - the foyer of his home was too narrow to accommodate too many people.
"There will still be time to chat in the future, but Gu Xing and I have to go to school for self-study later," Gu Pan interrupted his mother and Shen Guanshan, "Can you eat quickly?"
Gu's mother quickly asked them to wash their hands, took off the heat preservation cover on the plate on the dining table, and scooped rice for the three children.
Gu Pan ate as fast as ever, but Gu Xing was so slow that he only finished half of the rice.
Seeing this, she urged, "Can you speed up a little bit..."
She wanted Gu Xing to eat more food before, so she used a trick to get him to go upstairs quickly.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xing started to waste time when he had time.
"Whatever," Gu Xing scolded her while not forgetting to pick up a piece of egg and relax his posture, "I study by myself at half past six, why are you going so early?"
Gu Pan looked at him eagerly, "The life of signing a book is really leisurely."
"Who told you that you weren't good at competition?" Gu Xing gloated. "You were laughing at me before for only winning a silver medal?"
But Gu Pan now felt confident. She looked at her friend who was eating silently next to her and asked, "Guan Shan, how many gold medals are there in the national competition?"
Shen Guanshan has always been a little transparent, just because he was afraid that the war between the brother and sister would spread to him. Unexpectedly, he was still affected.
Her demeanor can only be described as 'looking left and right'.
Shen Guanshan answered vaguely, "One, early one hundred."
"Oh, it's more than a hundred," Gu Pan pretended to suddenly realize it, and started to act in a long tone, "Then you Gu Xing..."
"Come on, are you ready for self-study?" Gu Xing quickly ate the last piece of ribs in the bowl, not wanting to hear his sister continue talking.
What Gu Pan wanted was his words. After he succeeded, his eyes turned into crescent moons with smiles, "I'll get two sets of papers."
Mother Gu's expression remained unchanged throughout the whole process, and she was obviously not surprised by the quarrels between the brothers and sisters.
"Guan Shan, you won't go to school until tomorrow, right?" Gu Pan came out of his cubicle, holding two sets of papers in his arms.
"Yes, I told the head teacher." Shen Guanshan also finished his meal and stood up to say goodbye.
Seeing that her eyes were still slightly red, Gu's mother thought that Shen Guanshan had cried outside, so she gave up the idea of keeping her and just patted the girl on the shoulder, "Go back and have a good sleep. You won't think about this the next day." Already."
"That's right, so what if you didn't get selected for the national team?" Gu Pan's voice was clear, but every word was heart-wrenching, "Gu Xingcai just won a silver medal, look at how comfortable he was in his childhood."
"Gu Pan!" Gu Xing became anxious, "Don't push yourself too far!"
The two of them were quarreling as they walked to the door. Shen Guanshan, who was lowering her head to change her shoes, listened. The rare smile in the past few days made her eyebrows soften a lot.
Gu Xing put his schoolbag on his back.
Under normal circumstances, unless he takes a long vacation, he will not come back with his backpack. This time, he mainly needs to pack advanced math textbooks to prepare for his college life in September.
The three of them said goodbye to Gu's mother and left home together.
"See you tomorrow..." Gu Xing said goodbye to Shen Guanshan, but was stopped by her.
"Do you eat dark chocolate?" The other person stretched out a hand with a plate of dark chocolate in his palm.
"Huh?" Gu Xingjian turned around and saw her clear eyes, so he did not refuse his friend's kindness, "Thank you!"
It was dark all around, so he didn't look much at it, just put it in his pocket and walked down.
Shen Guanshan looked at Gu Xing without any fluctuations and his expression looked slightly disappointed. He waited until the footsteps of the Gu brothers and sisters disappeared, then opened the door and walked into his home.
