Gu Mingxi! What are you doing?!

Gu Mingxi sat at the side of the schoolyard looking down the stands. The rest of his class was in gym class. The girls were practicing sit-ups under the teacher’s supervision, and the boys were playing basketball on the court.

Pang Qian grimaced as one minute passed, and she heard Li Xiaoyan report, “41.”

She got up from the mat and switched spots with Li Xiaoyan. Pang Qian sat down onto her feet and held onto her knees.

From where she sat, she could very clearly see Gu Mingxi sitting in the stands. And so, she didn’t pay much attention to keeping count for poor Li Xiaoyan.

Her head was full of thoughts about Gu Mingxi. What exactly was wrong with Gu Mingxi? Did his parents quarrel again? Or did the girl he liked reject him? Or did someone bully him? Was he unhappy? Or was Gu Mingxi still concerned about the TV program?

In any case, Gu Mingxi had never acted this strangely before. It was as if he’d gone crazy.

Of course, Gu Mingxi hadn’t gone crazy. He was just…

How do you say it. He just felt kind of tired.

That nerve in his mind has been stretched for many years now, day and night, in every moment. A small idea and plan started to sprout inside his head. He got up everyday at 6 o’clock, took care of his daily needs, spent an hour to get to school, worked hard all day at school, and used his free class to help tutor Pang Qian. When he got home, he didn’t watch TV, he didn’t read the newspaper. After he ate dinner, he returned to his room to do his homework. When he finished the assignments from the teacher, he would self-study until 12 o’clock, and then he’d go to sleep.

He practiced using the computer every day for an house, but he never played games. Gu Guoxiang didn’t allow him to, so he just didn’t. At most, when he was itching to, he’d play a game of minesweeper.

When the weekend came, he went to his drawing class. When he got home, he’d practice drawing some more. He worked on practice problems and memorized English. In the past, Zhou Nanzhong and Wang Song would call him and invite him out to play soccer/football. Gu Mingxi really wanted to go, but his parents didn’t let him go. It was too far away, a waste of time, and playing ball wasn’t safe. After a few more times, they stopped inviting Gu Mingxi.

Gu Mingxi missed living at the Golden Compound. Pang Qian lived next door, so when he was bored on the weekends, they would go out together. Even if they didn’t go outside, they could play at each others’ houses, chat about, read comics, eat ice cream together.

When Jian Zhe and Liu Hanlin invited Gu Mingxi to play, he would call Pang Qian along. Pang Qian would complain about it being a bother, but she never refused.

Her job was to help Gu Mingxi put on his sports shoes, feed him water, help him wipe away his sweat. And when they went home, Gu Mingxi would reward her with a small snack or meal.

But now, they lived at opposite ends of the city. Gu Mingxi felt much lonelier.

In the past, Gu Mingxi would always be mindful of his parents’ demands of him. Gu Guoxiang wanted wanted him to get into a 211 or 985 university (top schools), and he wanted him to keep his position in the top 3 of his year. Now, Gu Mingxi suddenly felt that there was no point to all the efforts that he put in.
