Chapter 12 Graduation trip

The bell rang, Guo Zhi went out of the examination room, he took a deep breath then spat, rushing out to hold a tree: “It’s finally over! ” He stuck his face on the uneven tree trunk: “Very good.”

Hua Gu Yu quickly walked past pretended to not recognise him but was still seen by Guo Zhi: “Hua’er, how did you do?”

“Nonsense, not doing well is sorry to my beautiful face!” Hua Gu Yu touched his beautiful face. He fell into obsessing his own expression, he looked at Guo Zhi again: “I will go study at university Z. There’s no need to miss me, although you cannot go just anywhere to see this face of mine, but after all we still have to part. I can only send autographed photos to you. When you go to university you can show off that you know such a handsome person.”

Guo Zhi let go of the big tree: “But i’m also going to university Z.”

“What?!” Hua Gu Yu bitterly looked at Guo Zhi.

“Hua’er, do you hate me?”

“I don’t hate you. If you go to Z university, then Shi Xi will also go right? He wants to fight for the name ‘flower boy’ with me, there’s no door!” Hua Gu Yu’s voice faded. Guo Zhi flattened his lips: “Shi Xi probably didn’t even participate in the university entrance exam, can he still go to university Z?”

“Did not participate in the university entrance exam? He was clearly assigned the same exam room as me.”

Guo Zhi’s face lit, lit again. He stepped forward grabbing Hua Gu Yu’s face rubbing: “Hua’er, you are the most beautiful flower.” Finished, he ran far. Hua Gu Yu angrily pulled out a mirror. Guo Zhi’s hands ink marks were printed on his face. He couldn’t rub it out, he just angrily muttered behind: “Guo Zhi, Lao Zi will kill you!”

Whoever kills Guo Zhi, Guo Zhi will not hate him now

He climbed up to the second floor, stood at a height to search for Shi Xi. Very quickly, on the second floor he rushed shouting loudly: “Shi Xi~” Shi Xi did not raise his head, he sat on the stone bench. He slowly blinked, he has no expression. He maintained a posture, watching the crowd. They lived in the world as if nothing had happened.

“Shi Xi~ since you came to the university entrance exam, go to university Z with me. I won’t lie to you, I really will help you find the best material, will write down all your manuscripts, will provide paper and pen at any time by your side, will buy you more books online, and will help you correct words!” Guo Zhi’s cry was so clear making everyone could not help but look up.

Shi Xi stood up, hands inserted into his pockets going forward.

Guo Zhi continued to shout: “Shi Xi, if you don’t look at me, i’ll jump down. I’m serious.”

Shi Xi stopped. At last he raised his head. He knew what was waiting for him, it was Guo Zhi’s smile.

Wang Linlin was also below: “Guo Zhi, what are you screaming and shouting. Quickly come down, need to discuss something with you.”

Guo Zhi ran down. What did Wang Linlin and a few female students from class want to discuss? Seeing that Guo Zhi came they pulled him into the girl’s pile, leading the male students around envy him. In a million flowers a little green Guo Zhi looked at Wang Linlin lost: “What?”

“We discussed to go on a graduation trip. Call Hua Gu Yu and a few male students with features that are reluctantly acceptable. Do you want to go?”

“I can’t, my dad won’t agree.”

“You know he won’t agree when you haven’t asked? It’s finally the end of the university entrance exam, he still controls you?”

“I know my dad, he will worry that I’ll be corrupted by bad examples.”

“It’s a pity.”

Guo Zhi laughed: “What’s a pity, is it just not going on graduation trip. I can also play at home, and my dad said if I do well he will take me travelling.” Guo Zhi thought that he would receive everybody’s envy but he was cast aside: “Travelling with parents? Really boring.” He was pushed out by the female students. Feeling baffled, he made faces at them.

What is the big deal not going on a graduation trip, he doesn’t care.

Because students were relieved they went mad all around school and they tore books page by page throwing it down from upstairs. Guo Zhi stood downstairs, the paper flew past his head falling on his body sliding onto the ground. Shi Xi watched this picture not far away, pen in hand.

“Shi Xi, will you always be at the rental house/apartment in the summer vacation? Can I find you when I’m doing nothing.”

“Won’t be.”

“You’re going home?”

“Going to another city.”

“You’re also travelling? Then, I’m going too.”

“No one invited you.”

“I don’t need anyone to invite me.” Sometimes, Guo Zhi is very thick skinned.

Shi Xi didn’t say anything. Guo Zhi knew Shi Xi was unwilling so he had his own idea. He followed Shi Xi again thick skinned. Just entered, taking advantage of Shi Xi not noticing, he picked up the laptop and ran out, whilst running he said: “No notebook, you have no way to continue writing fiction. Don’t go anywhere! If you don’t take me, I won’t return it to you.” After he finished he ran without turning back. Shi Xi watched Guo Zhi’s rapidly running appearance: “Moron.”

Guo Yun Yong anxiously waited at home for a long time. Guo Zhi returned carrying a bag.

“How did you do?”

“Very good, will definitely go to university Z.”

Hearing Guo Zhi reply full with confidence, Guo Yun Yong although happy, achievement has not got the real thing/proof. Bound to be filled with anxiety and fear. He turned to his wife Zhou Hui: “Recently our son worked very hard, buy delicious food tonight.”

Zhou Hui was also very happy, she nodded, touching Guo Zhi’s head whilst carrying basket to go out to buy food.

Guo Zhi stood in the living room stammering: “Father. Erm, I, my classmates asked me to go on a graduation trip, can I go?”

“No! It’s very dangerous for a child to go out, and there are a lot of things that are out of order.”[1]

“But ever since I grew up I have never been far out of this door. I want to go play with a classmate this time.”

“What’s so fun, wait for your grades. Our whole family can go on holiday.”

“But, a lot. A lot of classmates are all going travelling,”

“Just finished studying high school and you want to play? There is still university, if you’re doing nothing at home then you can go to the library first to read the university courses to choose the right profession.” Guo Yun Yong’s expression is serious.

“It’s just a few days, when I come back I will go to the library everyday and I guarantee that I did well this time. Father, I really want to go. Can I? I won’t stir up trouble outside and will not learn things that are out of order. I want to go and see the world after all in the future i’ll be alone outside in university. Didn’t you say men have to learn to live independently, now i’m always relying on you,[2] i’m worried.”

Guo Yun Yong felt that Guo Zhi’s words were rather reasonable. His heart was fell into contradictions.

Guo Zhi continued to speak: “I will report to you by phoning you everyday.”

“All right, let me think about this.”

He contacted Cui Chenglong’s father, that side also said that their child will go travelling, letting them go out to play is a must. Guo Yun Yong was assured by this, but before leaving, imploring over and over again constantly to Guo Zhi and then let him go.

Summer ‘s early morning lit up very early. Guo Zhi carried a bag appearing outside Shi Xi’s door. He knocked on the door for a long time. The door opened, it was Shi Xi’s impatient face, he looked lazy. After opening the door he turned back onto the bed continuing to sleep.

“Let’s go, Shi Xi. Let’s go on holiday.”Guo Zhi excitedly ran to the bedside.

The person on the bed had no response.

“Shi Xi, what time are we going, do you need me to help you pack stuff?”

“Shut up, talk again when I wake up.”

Guo Zhi didn’t speak again, he pulled a root stool sitting at the bed. He watched Shi Xi like that. His good looking face can collocate[2] any expression, he is not excited and not anxious. He suddenly felt that in fact can sit there for a lifetime.
