Chapter 18 开学 Starting school

The short journey is over, Guo Zhi returned home "Dad, Mum I'm back. I brought you guys a gift."

"It's good that you're back, what gifts did you bring?" Once Zhou Hui looked back she saw Guo Zhi and the ridiculous hat on Guo Zhi's head, he really wore the hat all the way back. Zhou Hui could not help but laugh: "What is this hat? Did you buy it?"

Guo Zhi thought: "En."

He's growing up he understands that there are some things that he has to lie about. This lie is good for everyone.

"I've let you play, now you need to study hard." Guo Yun Yong said.

"I know."

Today, Guo Zhi was nervously watched the computer, half-closed eyes want to see but don't dare to see. On the screen, the test data was displayed. Gu Zhi jumped up, rushed to the living room: "I got in, I got in to Z university!"

Guo Yun Yong who always carried his hear finally put it down. Zhou Hui was unable to conceal her happiness even more: "I just knew that Guo Zhi is so smart and would have no problems. I'll call our relatives to come over to have a meal to celebrate."

"En, go." Guo Yun Yong also felt very proud, he can show off infront of his relatives.

"Congratulations, Congratulations, Guo Zhi has an offer." Praising sentence after sentence.

Guo Zhi busily received guests but his mind was thinking about how well s.h.i.+ Xi did. Even though he is very smart he barely read books/studied, will he be able to pa.s.s? Or will he choose other universities?

"Guo Zhi, quickly your cousin is here. She is also a Z university student, chat with her it will benefit you."

Once he heard that his cousin came, Guo Zhi could not help but smile: "TangJie!"[1]

[1] 堂姐 This is just another way of saying female 'cousin' but it felt weird to put 'cousin!' because it would be hard for you guys to tell if the cousin was a boy or girl so I put 'TangJie' instead.

"h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo." His TangJie lazily replied walking into Guo Zhi's room and fell onto his bed. She used her hand to support her messy hair and the other to scratch her a.s.s: "Go get me some food." Tone like a Empress Dowager CiXi.

"Okay, what do you like to eat i'll bring you more."

"Anything."

Guo Zhi ran to the living room, helda pile of snacks back into the room putting it on the bed. This TangJie of Guo Zhi's is called Guo Ruojie, she is a second year student at Z university. Her name is the biggest scam can only use one word to describe this woman: Lazy! Too lazy to comb hair, too lazy to wear makeup, too lazy to move.

Guo Ruojie lied on the bed eating food, Guo Zhi looked at Guo Ruojie. Guo Ruojie changed to a comfortable position/posture, a 大 on the bed："Why are you looking at me like that? You should know that we have blood relation?"

Guo Zhi quickly waved: "I don't want to marry you." What kind of family conversation is this? Guo Zhi slanted his head, s.h.i.+ Xi likes a variety of weird humans and his TangJie seems to be very good material. He continued to say: "TangJie after school starts, I want to introduce you to someone."

"Too lazy to have a boyfriend."

"I don't mean that, wait for me, maintain this posture. "Although Guo Zhi said this, she will not move even if he told her to cleanly move. Guo Zhi brought his phone taking photos of his Tangjie from a variety of angles.

"Guo Zhi."

"What?"

"When did you become a pervert?"

"I haven't!"

"Finally, Guo Zhi did not get any information and experience about Z university because Guo Ruojie was too lazy to say.

They has a simple dinner, several big masters drank some liquor happily chatting, the time quickly pa.s.sed to night. Guo Zhi sent them downstairs. Before leaving Guo Zhi suddenly innocently asked Guo Ruojie: "TangJie I have a question I have always wanted to ask you."

"Speak."

"Why aren't you lazy to eat."

Guo Ruojie stared at him: "None of your business!"

The next day, Guo s.h.i.+ went out wanting to tell this news to s.h.i.+ Xi. He sat on the bus, he was in fact very clear that s.h.i.+ Xi is a good person. Those days when they went travelling he was only comforting him, he (GZ) will not misunderstand what s.h.i.+ Xi has for him and will not misunderstand his and s.h.i.+ Xi's relations.h.i.+p. There hasn't been much change between them. s.h.i.+ Xi has no emotion, he is clear on that.

Even though he knows this, Guo Zhi's face could not help the smile he has for s.h.i.+ Xi. He just needed to think that he can see s.h.i.+ Xi, can speak to him he just wants to smile. In the past he thought that it was baffling, now he understands that this is to 'like' (someone).

His likes are very strange, it merely looks like 'to like' but there is no need for the other person to respond and return it.

Guo Zhi ran to the rental house knocked on s.h.i.+ XI's room. There wasn't any sound inside，Guo Zhi knocked harder but the door never opened. The landlord heard the noise and came over: "Are you looking for someone?"

"Auntie I'm looking for the tenant of this room, do you know where he went?"

"I don't know, he checked out a while ago."

Guo Zhi froze in place, his hand was still mechanically knocking. It seems that he always thought that the door will open if he knocked. s.h.i.+ Xi left? Where did he go? Will he go to Z university?

Suddenly Gu Zhi only realised that if s.h.i.+ Xi didn't go to Z university then he would disappear from his own life. Taking away his feelings, taking away his like.

This summer vacation, others hope that the holiday is longer but Guo Zhi wanted scissors to directly cut off these two months. He read books/studied, brought books, chatted with cla.s.smates, went on holiday with his parents, went to his dad's friend's shop for summer work and thought about s.h.i.+ Xi.

He brought himself a camera with the money he earned. At night, before he slept he would always take it out to look at, he wanted to use this camera to shoot all of the material that s.h.i.+ Xi wants.

Guo Zhi felt that the time was very slow, very slow.

The day that school started, Guo Zhi got up very early. He looked at his suitcase and peeked  at his parent's room, he opened his suitacase and took out some clothes. He put the hat that he brought from Guzhen in and pulled his suitcase up.

Before leaving, Guo Yun Yong said a lot, he said what he repeatedly said everyday, it seems he won't be tired but Guo Zhi was also never tired of listening. He thought that his dad was doing this for his good.

He stood at the train station, there was a person who was dressed up stylishly attracting the attention of female students coming and going. Guo Zhi called this easily recognisable person: "Hua'er long time no see, handsome man!"

This way of greeting somebody was refres.h.i.+ng to Hua Guyu: "So it's Guo Zhu, quickly go you won;t be able to catch the train."

"En." Guo Zhi nodded then looked back at the crowd. Even though it was early in the morning, the train station had a large number of people but none within this crowd there was no s.h.i.+ Xi.

He and Hua Guyu talked all the way, they arrived at their destination after more than three hours. Guo Zhi stood outside the school looking at the grand school gate compared to the iron school gate in high school, it was like heaven.

Next to him, Hua Guyu shrugged: "That's more like it, can reluctantly match my level." He walked forward, he discovered that Guo Zhi did not move: "What are you doing? You do not need be be amazed at a school gate like this."

"I, I, I want to stand here." stuttering is not a good thing.

Hua Guyu had a general idea what it was, he shook his gentle and agreeable hair: "Then I will go in first."

"Hua'er."

"What?"

"Fighting! Use your good looks to take the campus by a storm." Guo Zhi sincerely blessed Hua Guyu.

"This minor matter needs cheering on?" Hua Guyu left naturally and unrestrained, luckily Hua Guyu truly is a handsome man. If he was just an average looking man matched with this character/personality then many people will beat him up.

Guo Zhi stood outside the school for 10 minutes, half an hour, an hour. More and more students were pa.s.sing by his side but throughout, he did not see s.h.i.+ Xi. He hung his head and looked at the time, he finally dragged his suitacse but after walking two steps he wanted to keep waiting. Maybe s.h.i.+ Xi will appear in the next second, thats it. He was outside the school again, walked two steps to spend more time.

"Looking for me?" a voice came from behind and Guo Zhi's insides momentarily surged.

s.h.i.+ Xi will not appear in the next second, he will appear in the next two seconds.

Guo Zhi quickly turned his head, the idea of thinking that s.h.i.+ Xi wouldn't pa.s.s was rather ridicuolous. Guo Zhi did not know that s.h.i.+ Xi's examination result scored first place out of the whole school to enter Z university after a compet.i.tive exam. s.h.i.+ Xi has become taller, he is still wearing a hat and he is somewhat tanned. He wore a simple t-s.h.i.+rt and jeans. Guo Zhiwiped/rubbed his eyes, its too much. They only haven't seen each other for merely for more than two months, he has become good-looking in places that he can't see, he looks so f.u.c.king good. [2]

[2] original text is 好看死了which means he looks so good one might die but it sounds weird if I put that so I just put a swear word. It's the same, if you have a different opinion i'll consider trying to make it more appropriate.

The corners of his mouth bent, his mouth bent into a dimple [3]: "En, looking for you."

[3]在嘴边弯成了酒窝 how does the mouth bend into a dimple but idk I'm just gonna follow the original text.

No matter what, s.h.i.+ Xi came.
