The Original Love (Revised)

  After dinner, Jiang Jiang and Shi Xiao Fei went to the supermarket outside the school to go shopping. Zhao Zi Mo made an excuse not to go and took the remaining chicken soup back to Peony Garden directly.

  In the dormitory, Gu Chengxi was standing on the balcony watering a pot of lush autumn chrysanthemum. Her slender figure was set off by a white knitted long dress, making her look elegant and refined, gentle and quiet.

  When alone, Gu Cheng's west is always vastly different from his public persona.

  Hearing the sound of the door opening, Gu Chengxi turned his head back and silently put away the water bottle: "A Mo."

  Zhao Zimo smiled and picked up the thermos: "Xixi, there's still chicken soup here. I'll take charge of helping you with it. You won't mind, will you?"

  Gu Cheng's mouth twitched, her voice as thin as a mosquito hum: "Why should I care, he's giving it to you to eat, it has nothing to do with me." She raised her head and saw Zhao Zimo staring straight at her, she wanted to speak but hesitated, "A... Ah Mo, the rumors about you and Xiao Chuyan..."

  Zhao Zimo smiled and put his arm around her shoulder: "Alright, Xixi, I know what you want to say. You don't want to be in the spotlight, and I'll protect you. Don't worry, anyway, I'm used to being the center of attention, even if people think I'm Xiao Chuyan's girlfriend, it doesn't affect me at all - going to class, eating, sleeping, nothing changes. As long as you're not jealous, that's all that matters."

  She smiled brightly and sadly.

  Why not just take on the sweet blame?

  Gu Chengxi pouted: "......But I'm jealous, he didn't even glance at me just now..."

  Zhao Zimo's eyes dimmed, and he let go of his hand on her shoulder, covering his mouth to laugh somewhat unnaturally: "He used to publicly expose your relationship, and even walking down the street would get you pointed at like monkeys in a zoo. Didn't you used to be especially disgusted by that? Later on, every time it was me who took the blame for 'early love'..."

  Gu Chengxi's face turned red as he clenched his fists, completely unlike his usual calm demeanor, and instead looked like a confused little kid: "Back then I was only in junior high, so I didn't know any better... now that I'm in college, there are couples everywhere on campus... and to make matters worse, such a beautiful girl like Su Ti is chasing after him, it makes me really uncomfortable. The other day when I went out with another guy, it was also to provoke him..."

  Can't help but admit that Gu Cheng Xi is really hypocritical and nitpicky, Xiao Chu Yan often calls her "hypocritical little woman".

  Calling her that is actually justified.

  For example, when dealing with unfamiliar people, she is always kind and smiling, responding appropriately. Even if she dislikes someone extremely, she won't show it at all... but after turning around, her expression changes completely.

  For example, she clearly knew Xiao Chuyan, and she was the one he called his girlfriend of many years, yet she could calmly join Jiang Jiang and Shi Xiaofei in persuading Zhao Zimo to "build a ladder to touch the floating clouds".

  For example, Gu Chengxi's mother, Fu Qingzhuo, was once a famous anti-drug policewoman. However, she defected during an undercover operation and used her power to help drug dealers. In the end, the truth came out... Whenever Gu Chengxi mentions his mother, he always says with a straight face: "My mother is an oil painter."

  Of course, Zhao Zimo also knew about this matter in a very unexpected situation, so he would protect her after the two PKs, but Gu Chengxi didn't know that she already knew these things.

  Gu Cheng Xi is indeed so hypocritical and nitpicky, now he only says half of what's on his mind, but Zhao Zi Mo has already understood everything. Suddenly, her heart feels like it's being crawled on by an ant, biting and stinging, and after a brief moment of slight pain, she raises an eyebrow and laughs: "Haha, Xiao Chu Yan this old fox, this time he really miscalculated big time."

  She patted Gu Cheng Xi's shoulder reassuringly: "Xi Xi, don't worry, I know what to do now."

  Out of the dormitory door, the midday sun was still a bit dazzling, and the bright smile faded away bit by bit.

  Xiao Chuyu...

  In her childhood, she often dressed up and followed him around, calling him "Chu Gege" while he called her "A Mo", the two of them causing mischief like monkeys in every courtyard nearby.

  They are childhood friends who have gone through thick and thin together, getting into trouble together, being punished together, and growing up together.

  At the age of bean, she was in her early youth, and the boy wearing a white shirt attracted all her attention. It was a very vague feeling, indescribable, but deeply buried in her heart.

  On New Year's Day, the junior middle school held a literary and artistic performance. She had occupied the front row seat very early because Xiao Chuyan had a program to perform.

  The girl sitting next to her was also a beautiful and elegant girl, gazing at the stage with eyes that shone brighter than the sun. Later she found out that the girl's name was Gu Chengxi, who idolized Xiao Chuyan.

  Xiao Chuyu finished performing and threw a stage prop "plastic red rose" off the stage, right between her and Gu Chengxi. The two quickly grabbed it at the same time, neither willing to let go.

  Just as the red rose was about to be snatched away, Gu Chengxi suddenly raised his head, and a fierce light burst out of his clear eyes: "Stop fighting, let's find a place to PK and duel, whoever wins takes the rose."

  At that time, she was young and mischievous, so after being stunned for a moment, she gladly agreed.

  Then, the two girls started a fierce PK on the grassland of Cao Yang. In the end, she pressed Gu Chengxi down to the ground and rode on his body, panting with exhaustion while holding a rose triumphantly.

  After stopping, looking at each other's disheveled appearance, they couldn't help but burst out laughing. This one laugh made them become good friends. In that battle, she won and considered herself strong. Adding to that, she unintentionally found out about his mother's situation, from then on, the two became close friends who would go through thick and thin together...

  Then she stabbed herself twice.

  Soon after, Xiao Chuyan ran over and said to her: "A Mo, I've fallen for a hypocritical little girl."

  That little girl, named Gu Cheng Xi, is her good friend.

  But after all, I was young at that time and didn't feel particularly sad, just a little uncomfortable and lost.

  Later she realized that when emotions first sprout, one tends to pay more attention to a certain person than others, but that feeling will slowly fade away after some time and then shift focus to another person.

  This is a must for everyone on the path of growth. She just happens to have her eyes fixed on Xiao Chuyan, who grew up with her.

  This feeling is not called first love, but first affection, the initial love, as pure as fresh white milk, eventually becoming a faint color in life.

  But from then on, she no longer called him "Chu Gege", but rather somewhat impolitely called "Xiao Chuyan".

  It wasn't until much later that she slowly realized, the wisteria vine wrapped around her heart, full of small flowers, had not withered away despite the change in names.

  All along, Gu Chengxi that awkward and shy kid, has never dared to admit "early love", every time being unexpectedly spotted, he would shrink like a turtle, Xiao Chuyan was helpless, while she as his good friend would always stand up for him.

  Because this way she can unscrupulously shout loudly in a joking tone: "Xiao Chuyan, I really like you!"

  She thought that as long as she could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, even if it was just a rumored girlfriend, she would be content. But she knew that from now on, there would never be another chance again.

  Gu Cheng Xi finally began to face the problems between them under Xiao Chu Yan's deliberate provocation.

  Fortunately, neither of them knew that the white-clothed young man had once bloomed a tree of solitary fragrance in her heart...

  It blooms alone, withers alone, and is finally buried deeply.
