Under the dimly lit trees, Gu Jianlin had a dark face and corrected him: "First of all, what I bought is not what you thought it was. Secondly, you need to know that we are brothers and sisters."
"Is it?"
Su Youzhu took a sip of brown sugar water, obviously feeling much more comfortable than before. Then she raised her long and curled eyelashes and said quietly: "But we are not related by blood, and we are not in the same household register."
Gu Jianlin was speechless by what she said. When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was really the case.
The two of them are not even considered blood relatives. In essence, this so-called brother-sister relationship is no different from playing house.
"What goes through your head every day?"
He glanced at the time on his phone: "Let's go out to eat something first. The school will be closed in a while."
Su Youzhu hesitated for a second, then slightly pursed her lips and stood up. A gust of cold wind blew over, causing her to visibly tremble.
Gu Jianlin took one look at her petite and slender figure, so he had to take off his coat and put it on her.
It just covered her whole body and looked very cute.
Su Youzhu was stunned for a moment, and the look in his eyes became even weirder.
Well, it's obvious to increase your favorability, right?
She sniffed the smell on her coat carefully, and it smelled quite good.
"Remember to call me next time something like this happens."
Gu Jianlin glanced at her and said intentionally or unintentionally.
Logically speaking, when it comes to things like menstruation, most girls have best friends. Even if they are not prepared, they can just find a friend to help them, and they will not be curled up in a chair alone in embarrassment.
It's just that Su Youzhu's popularity in school doesn't seem to be very good.
To be more precise, it's not very good among girls.
Most boys can't understand that, in fact, girls' circles have been much more complicated since elementary school. The phenomenon of grouping and exclusion has always existed, but conflicts will not be brought to the table.
Therefore, it will give the illusion that everyone has a good relationship at first glance.
But if you pay close attention, it's easy to spot who's being left out.
Even though their senior class, Class 7, was a reorganized class, it only took a week for a small circle to be formed.
In a circle, no one likes anyone who is particularly different.
Su Youzhu is an alternative model. Her grades are not good, but she is very good-looking and has learned how to dress herself up. More than two-thirds of the boys in the school have missed her.
In addition, she is relatively withdrawn and doesn't like to talk much.
It is normal for such people to be ostracized by the girls in the class.
Including the boys' circle, everyone gradually gave up because she was too difficult to contact and pursue.
Of course, Gu Jianlin only discovered it recently. He had been indifferent to things in school before.
"I just came out to go to the bathroom to tidy up."
Su Youzhu raised her pretty face as delicate as ice and snow, and then shook the phone with a black screen: "The phone just ran out of battery."
Gu Jianlin hummed and led her outside the school.
The two siblings walked through the dimly lit basketball court and running track, passing by all kinds of classmates.
Many people looked at them in surprise when they saw the two of them walking together.
"They seem to have misunderstood something."
Gu Jianlin suddenly said: "Don't you mind?"
The fact that two people accidentally became brothers and sisters has never been told to anyone, including school leaders and teachers.
If they walk together, they can easily be misunderstood as lovers.
Su Youzhu showed no expression and said calmly: "Why do you mind? I don't plan to find a boyfriend. On the contrary, if you are so close to me, it will be difficult to find a girlfriend."
Gu Jianlin shook his head indifferently: "I don't have that plan either."
Su Youzhu raised his eyes and glanced at the young man.
In fact, she actually has her own reasons for not falling in love.
But in high school, it was very rare for someone to live as stoically as the young man in front of me.
Some of my peers are learning to smoke and drink, while others are going to Internet cafes to stay up all night, or perming and dyeing their hair, dressing themselves up in a fancy way, and dating four or five girlfriends in just one semester.
Although Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School is the best high school in the city, there is no conflict between good academic performance and youthful rebellion. Many people in the school seem to have more fun than anyone else, but as soon as they return to the classroom and sit down, they start playing hard. Question, that’s called a fight.
Gu Jianlin was different. He seemed to have no desire. He always dressed simply and cleanly. He was not friendly with anyone around him, nor was he interested in any hobbies. He did not strive for or participate in any positions or activities in the school.
Occasionally you can see him reading in the library, or staring at a place in a daze, and occasionally playing ball alone.
Even playing games is just to earn some money for contemporary practice.
Then the test scores will always be first.
Before Su Youzhu lived with him, there were several girls in the dormitory who wanted to pursue him. They could often hear news about him, but in the end they only came to a two-word conclusion.
boring.
Su Youzhu thought at first that it must be because those girls didn't understand him.
Many people appear to be one thing on the surface, but they are another thing privately.
However, after seeing him in the hospital, she realized that what her roommate said was true.
Whether it was when he was in a coma or when he woke up later.
What he did most was stare out the window in a daze, his eyes blank.
It's hard to imagine that there are such strange people in this world.

Gu Jianlin didn't know what the girl next to him was thinking. As soon as he walked out of the school gate, he saw the dim lights of the snack street opposite. There were crowds of people everywhere, and a strong aroma hit his face.
People were coming and going on the street, and there were many people in school uniforms, but they were obviously not students.
He simply analyzed them using profiling and found out seven or eight.
"What to eat?"
He turned around and asked.
Gu Jianlin realized that something might happen in the near future and he had to go back early after dinner.
Su Youzhu thought carefully and said, "Anything is fine. I want to eat something hot."
Gu Jianlin nodded: "Then let's go eat wild wontons."
The wonton stall in Fengcheng is also one of the characteristics of the old town.
Many years ago, before his parents were divorced, his father often took him to the stall downstairs for late-night snacks. He would eat two bowls of wontons and a plate of barbecue until about two o'clock in the middle of the night, and then his mother would take him home.
It's so nostalgic.
The wild wonton stall across the street is quite authentic. There was a line of people in front of the store, and you had to wait for at least ten minutes.
While waiting in line, Gu Jianlin saw the girl frowning in pain again.
He sighed: "Go and buy a baby warmer first?"
Su Youzhu was stunned when he heard this, and said quietly: "You even know this? You are very experienced."
Gu Jianlin said with a straight face: "These days, all primary school students are Baidu."
He habitually walked to the left of the snack street, where there was a 24-hour convenience store.
As soon as I walked to the door of the store, I found that the store had closed down and had to be replaced!
The original convenience store disappeared for some reason, and was replaced by a grocery store that didn't even have a name.
Gu Jianlin was a little surprised. The convenience store was still there two days ago.
This grocery store is filled with a touch of sandalwood and smells expensive. It is surrounded by old-fashioned shelves that look like they have been used for many years, but the products are brand new.
The decoration of the store is completely different from before. It has an old smell. The mottled walls have a vague sense of age. There are many calligraphy and paintings on the walls, and some of them are even covered with dust.
This is not what a new store looks like at all.
"You two, welcome."
Someone said with a smile.
He was a man in a suit and tie, with neatly combed back hair, full and three-dimensional facial features, and a pair of gentle and deep eyes. At first glance, he looked like an aristocrat in a British drama, or a business celebrity.
He stood in front of the counter with a friendly smile.
There is also an old-fashioned antique cabinet behind the counter, filled with all kinds of rare antiques, including Guanyin statues and golden toads, as well as pairs of jade thumb rings, blue and white porcelain bottles, and bronze wine glasses.
An old man in a wheelchair, listening to cross talk on the radio, fiddled with six copper coins on the counter.
The scent of agarwood fills the air silently.
Gu Jianlin was stunned as soon as he saw this posture.
"What's wrong?"
Su Youzhu asked from behind.
Gu Jianlin shook his head calmly, because he found that this grocery store was not simple.
At least it's rich.
Because he just briefly profiled it, those rare antiques gave him a sense of long-lasting history.
Most of them are genuine.
As for the two people in the store, he couldn't see through them either.
Profiling is not a panacea, what is required is the mastery of information.
It’s just that most people in this world are too simple. They have fixed jobs and lives, lackluster experiences, and extremely obvious characteristics, which are as clear as a one-page resume.
But some people are different, like an obscure book with too many joys and sorrows hidden in it.
It's hard to read.
It's not like Gu Jianlin has never met people who can't read him at first sight, but the two people in the grocery store have a very special temperament.
"What do you need?"
The man still maintained a kind smile.
Gu Jianlin came to his senses and said, "Sorry, three packs of warm babies."
The man smiled: "Okay, it's fifteen yuan in total. I'll get it for you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Gu Jianlin took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay, and continued to look at the store, always feeling weird.
"what's up?"
Su Youzhu noticed that something was wrong with his expression.
"It's nothing. I'll buy food later and go back to bed early."
Gu Jianlin reminded.
From beginning to end, the old man in front of the counter did not raise his head, staring at the six copper coins attentively.
I don't know what I'm looking at.
At this time, there was a loud noise on the street outside the door, and the red and blue lights of police cars flashed.
"Give in, everyone, give in!"
I saw a fat man in school uniform walking at the front, cursing: "What a bad luck! Stop looking at it and go back to school quickly! Are you looking for money? It's you!"
This man pointed casually in the crowd, and several students shrank their heads and ran away in a hurry.
Gu Jianlin frowned. He knew this person. He was the richest second generation in the school and a well-known school bully.
Smoking, drinking, fighting, etc., this person is always there, and his grades are also at the bottom.
I couldn't even get into Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School. It is said that my family spent a lot of money to get in.
"Damn it, don't let me catch that grandson! There are more and more perverts these days."
The fat man looked back and his expression changed, as if he was suppressing a wave of nausea: "Ugh..."
He retched a few times, looked up and saw the grocery store, and hurried in.
"Boss, give me some bottles of water!"
The fat man slapped the ten dollars on the counter, went straight to the refrigerator, took out a few bottles of drinks, and poured them down his throat.
After drinking three bottles in a row, he saw a man and a woman in front of the counter.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Lin?"
The fat man's eyes lit up: "Bring your girlfriend out? Good guy, so beautiful!"
Gu Jianlin was stunned for a moment.
"It's me, I'm more than successful!"
Cheng Youyu hurriedly said: "Don't you know me? I even copied your paper!"
Gu Jianlin did have an encounter with this fat man.
During one centralized exam, this guy sat next to him and forcibly copied half of his papers before being taken away by the invigilator.
This group of people is considered to be one of the few bad boys in the school. They usually bully boys and dominate girls and are very arrogant.
But he was still very polite to Gu Jianlin.
After all, Gu Jianlin had no presence in the school except for his good grades, and if he was lucky enough to be ranked in front of him during the exam, he would generously help him, thus forming a good relationship.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Gu Jianlin said politely.
Su Youzhu looked very cold and obviously didn't want to talk.
"Just remember, just remember."
Cheng Youyu rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Well, I'll take the test this month, please."
Gu Jianlin looked strange: "Okay, if we can be divided together."
Cheng Youyu immediately beamed and said with a smile, "I'm relieved by Brother You Lin's words!"
At this time, a police car drove by slowly outside the door, and there were several detectives carrying transparent garbage bags.
Inside the garbage bag were the bodies of cats and dogs.
"What's going on over there?"
Gu Jianlin asked curiously.
Su Youzhu frowned, feeling a stench coming towards her face.
Cheng Youyu licked his teeth and said angrily: "Aren't there a lot of wild cats and dogs near our school? There are a few girls who go there to feed them every time after school. But when I went over today, I saw that all the wild cats and dogs were eaten by people. He was killed, and his stomach was disemboweled, and all the organs in his stomach were emptied..."
When he said this, he almost vomited again: "Then they called the police and asked the detectives to deal with it. But after checking the surveillance, they couldn't find out who did it. Those corpses were hanging on the branches. How perverted. .”
Gu Jianlin frowned and turned to look at the bloody plastic bags.
Although he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely see the miserable, disembowelled corpses.
The blood was coagulated, because the organs were hollowed out and not much blood flowed out.
Gu Jianlin walked a few steps outside, resisted smelling the stench, and stared at the corpses for a while.
"How perverted."
Su Youzhu said quietly.
Cheng Youyu patted his thigh: "Isn't that right? How pitiful kittens and puppies are. I often feed them with my girlfriend! I heard that people who abuse small animals tend to kill people! What the hell? It's really terrible to have such a disaster near the school! Well, if you two have nothing to do recently, just stay in the school and don't come out."
After hearing this, Gu Jianlin stared at the marks on the garbage bag and suddenly frowned.
Because he actually saw countless spider silk on the garbage bag.
There were also traces of spider silk on the corpses of those cats and dogs.
The open wounds were very irregular and did not look like marks caused by normal knives.
After a hurried profiling, he seemed to see a twisted limb like a bamboo, and the body was disemboweled like a knife, dripping with blood.
spider.
What killed these cats and dogs seemed to be a spider.
Just when he wanted to take a closer look, the detective had already walked away with the garbage bag.
"How could it be a spider..."
He muttered to himself subconsciously.
This time he didn't trust his profiling results very much, because the light was dim and the distance was too far, and he was afraid that he might be wrong.
At this moment, the old man who had been staring at the copper coins in a daze raised his head and glanced at him.
"Young man."
The old man said calmly: "Would you like to come and tell your fortune?"
Gu Jianlin turned around and saw the old man in front of the counter looking at him with a smile.
"I?"
He pointed at himself.
"Yes, that's you."
The old man nodded: "Don't worry, it's free and you won't be charged any money."
Gu Jianlin hesitated for a moment. The old man did seem to believe that.
It's just that he has some doubts about fortune telling. In the past, Sun Banxian downstairs was a piece of shit.
But given how unusual this grocery store is, it might as well give it a try.
"good."
The old man narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and pushed out the six copper coins in his hand: "Here, throw one at a time."
Gu Jianlin knew that this was the calculation of the sixty-four hexagrams of the "Book of Changes". According to what he said, he tossed it six times in sequence.
Six copper coins, lined up in a row, with different pros and cons.
The old man just looked at him calmly and said lightly: "The upper hexagram is Dui, and the upper hexagram is Dui, which is Yin, and is Ze. The lower hexagram is Kan, and Kan is Yang, which is water. The big swamp leaks water, and aquatic plants, fish, and shrimps, In a state of poverty. The yang is under the yin, and the hardness is covered by softness. A gentleman has difficulty in developing his talents and is in a place of poverty."
Gu Jianlin was silent for a second: "Old man, what does this mean?"
The old man looked at him deeply and said: "This is the hexagram of sleepiness. You can go back and check it yourself for what it means. In my humble opinion, you are probably going to get into trouble recently."
Gu Jianlin stared at this hexagram and said nothing.
Unexpectedly, Su Youzhu asked curiously: "Old man, how should we explain it?"
The old man said calmly: "Thunder and wind are weak, mountains and rivers are ventilated, and water and fire are not in contact with each other."
He paused: "Nanli Shengmen, Shengmen is in the fire."
