Chapter Fourteen: Today's Sunshine Is Extraordinarily Bright
Su Li and Chen Xi found the location of the literary club. The person sitting there recruiting people was a tall girl with a somewhat impatient expression.
Chen Xi stepped forward and asked, "Isn't Senior Gu here?"
The girl shook her head and gave them a cold look, "Are you here to sign up or come to see the handsome guy?"
Chen Xi frowned, "Let's sign up."
"Register." The girl pushed out a form, her expression still very impatient.
The two registered quickly. The tall girl glanced at the form and said with an expressionless face, "Gather at school on Saturday. I will send you a message then."
"Did you successfully join like this?" Chen Xi asked.
"Yeah." The girl put the form into the notebook, "Move aside, don't take up space here."
Chen Xi muttered, "What an attitude!" and pulled Su Li away.
Su Li asked her, "Have you met Senior Gu?"
Chen Xi shook his head, "No, but I have seen his photos. I forgot which issue of the magazine they were in. There was an introduction by the editor, and there were photos of his life in it."
"What does it look like?"
"Handsome, sunny, like the big brother next door."
An image of a big boy with a bright smile appeared in Su Li's mind. She could no longer remember what the colorful little boy looked like in her memory.
She thought, maybe he will look like a sunny boy now!
Zhou Qi happened to pass by them at this time and asked them both, "What club did you join?"
Su Li didn't answer, but asked him, "What about you?"
Zhou Qi said, "How about the basketball club? Isn't it very cool?"
Su Li shook her head and gave a ruthless denial, "Basketball is a stinky sport."
Zhou Qi frowned, "I don't know how to appreciate it at all." He asked Chen Xi hopefully, "Do you think it's cool?"
Chen Xi pursed his lips and smiled, "It depends on how well you play. If you play as well as Senior Gu, that would be cool."
Su Li was stunned for a moment and then immediately asked, "Senior Gu also plays basketball?"
Chen Xi nodded, "Yes, I heard that he is very good at playing basketball, and he can hit all the shots. Because of this, he not only gained many fans in school, but also many younger brothers."
Su Li lowered her head and smiled after hearing this, "Actually, this hobby is quite good, it's very sunny."
Zhou Qi heard this and immediately shouted, "Ouch, Senior Gu is like sunshine when he plays basketball, but why do I smell bad when I play basketball?"
Su Li reacted and couldn't help but blush, which made Chen Xi also laugh.
************************
After finally waiting until Saturday to see Gu Lingan, Su Li came to the school early in the morning, found the activity classroom, went in, and sat down in the corner.
Members came in one after another, some familiar ones were already chatting and chattering lively, while the new members were looking around, and a few of the more cheerful ones slowly chatted with the people around them.
Chen Xi then came, found Su Li, and sat with her. "I was almost late. I got up late this morning." He stuck out his tongue and cut his hair behind her ears.
Su Li didn't listen to her words at all. Her mind was now occupied with meeting Gu Ling'an, and she was so nervous that her palms were sweating a lot as she sat there.
Chen Xi asked, "Why are you shaking so hard?" "I... No." She tried to calm down, but the effect was not ideal, "I'm a little nervous."
"Why are you nervous? It's not a grand occasion." She smiled sweetly, "I brought plum blossoms, do you want one?" She took out a pack of plum blossoms from her schoolbag, tore it open, took out one and handed it over.
To Su Li, "Eating can relieve stress when you are nervous."
Su Li took it and put it in her mouth. The words were so sour that her brows furrowed into a knot. She thought her expression must be ugly now.
It happened that at this moment, Gu Lingan came in.
A girl whispered, "It's Senior Gu!"
There was silence in the classroom. Su Li looked over and saw a tall boy walking in from the door. He had handsome eyebrows and a clear face that made people unable to take their eyes away. His smile was bright and warm, like the sun in winter, shining directly
Go into people's hearts.
He was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, and he looked as friendly and easy-going as the big brother next door.
Chen Xi whispered, "It looks much better than in the photo."
Su Li looked at him and tried to compare him with the little boy also named Gu Ling'an when he was a child.
Unfortunately, the face in my memory is so blurry that it has no facial features.
Gu Lingan sat down in the front row and smiled and greeted the people around him.
After everyone arrived, the new members came to the podium one by one to introduce themselves.
When it was Su Li's turn, she was so nervous that her feet became weak. She got up and finally walked to the podium. When she was about to go up, she accidentally tripped and staggered to half-kneeling on the ground, causing several classmates to laugh.
Her face turned red with embarrassment. Just as she was about to stand up, she felt someone walking next to her. When she looked up curiously, she saw that it was Gu Ling'an.
He no longer had a smile as bright as the warm sun, with a serious and concerned expression. He walked to her and knelt down, reached out and grabbed her arm and gently lifted her up. "Are you okay?" There was something gentle in his tone.
Touching concern.
"No, it's okay." Su Li didn't dare to look at him. The distance was so close, and she smelled a faint smell of washing powder on him. Her heart pounded, she became even more nervous, and her face turned even redder.
Finally standing on the podium, Su Li introduced herself, "My name is Su Li. I am a freshman in high school. I am very happy to join the literary club." After saying this quickly, she nodded and saluted and hurried back to her seat as if she had completed the task.
Chen Xi held her hand and asked her in a low voice, "Did you fall somewhere? Why were you so careless?"
Su Li replied, "It's okay." Still lowering her head and not daring to look at anyone, she felt her face was still very hot, probably as red as a tomato, and she hated herself in her heart for making such a fool of herself the first time she met him.
The next person to take the stage was Chen Xi. She walked up to the podium gracefully and with a decent smile, "My name is Chen Xi. I am a freshman in high school. I love words and I hope I can grow here." After saying this, she won a small moment.
applause.
Su Li secretly observed Gu Ling'an. He had a gentle expression and clapped with the people around him. He seemed to feel that he was being watched and looked towards her. Su Li was so frightened that she turned her head and looked away.
All the new members quickly introduced themselves. Gu Lingan came on stage and gave everyone an assignment. Write an article. It can have any content. After writing it, give it to him on Friday. Then he will select a few outstanding articles and publish them in the new article.
In an issue of a literary magazine.
After assigning this homework, he asked, "Do you have any questions that you need to ask? Especially the new freshman in high school." Looking around, his eyes fell on Su Li.
Su Li blushed and lowered her head.
A thin girl raised her hand and asked, "Can I come up with my own pen name? I don't want my classmates to know that I wrote what I wanted to write."
Gu Ling'an replied, "Of course."
The thin girl sat back with satisfaction.
Gu Lingan asked again, "Do you have any questions?"
Su Li's mind was blank and she no longer had the ability to think, so naturally she couldn't think of any problems.
In fact, even if she thought about it, she didn't dare to get up and ask.
Chen Xi stood up next to him and said, "Senior, if the writing is not good, can you leave me some comments for revision?"
Gu Ling'an thought for a while and nodded, "Okay." After that, he continued to look around and saw that no one raised their hands again, so he announced the adjournment of the meeting.
After the meeting, Su Li overheard two female classmates talking about him, "Senior Gu's family owns a bun shop. I heard that he gets up at four o'clock every morning to help make buns."
"Oh my god, it's four o'clock. I'm still sleeping in at this time."
"It's not just you, all the students in the school are probably sleeping in at this time."
When Su Li heard this, she remembered the day when she heard the proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop calling "Ling An" upstairs. This world is really too small.
************************
The next day, Sunday, Su Li got up early and went to the bun shop. The door of the bun shop was crowded with people buying breakfast.
Gu Ling'an wore a large T-shirt with a basketball pattern on it and was busy standing in front of two cages of steaming buns. When facing customers, he always had a bright smile on his face.
Su Li waited by the side until everyone had dispersed before going forward. As soon as he got closer, he became inexplicably nervous and wanted to retreat, but it was already too late.
I could only muster up the courage to walk up, pretending to be nonchalant, and said, "Five vegetable buns, two cups of soy milk." He lowered his head and pretended to look at the buns, trying to hide his inner panic.
"Su Li." The other party called her name naturally, which surprised Su Li. She didn't expect that he actually recognized her and remembered her name. She raised her head in surprise and faced him.
With a warm smile in his dark eyes, he couldn't help but blush. He lowered his head and continued to look at the steaming buns, "Hello, senior."
Gu Ling'an skillfully filled the buns and handed them to her, saying, "It's a little hot, be careful." He was so considerate and heart-warming.
At this moment, a little boy rushed down from upstairs, holding a cartoon car in his fat little hand, "Brother, brother, brother, my car is broken down."
"Let me take a look." Gu Ling'an reached out and took it and looked at it carefully, "It's not broken, it's just that the battery is out of power. My brother will buy it for you later." He smiled with a doting look on his face.
"Okay." The little boy waited patiently next to him.
Su Li walked away for a while and looked back, and saw the little boy dragging Gu Lingan's hand towards the small shop.
From time to time, Gu Ling'an lowered her head and bent down to help the little boy dust off his clothes. He was careful, considerate and gentle.
