Did you get taller?

After school, Pang Qian was walking down the stairs with Sun Mingfang. Sun Mingfan was short and rather introverted. After sitting behind the easygoing Pang Qian for a few months, their relationship had become pretty good.

Usually they would ride their bikes home together, but today, Pang Qian said she didn’t bring her bike, so she’d take the bus home.

Sun Mingfang walked toward the bike storage, and Pang Qian hummed as she walked out of the school building. She walked west down the street, looking around on her way. After walking for a few minutes, she heard a boy’s voice to her side, “Pang Pang.”

Pang Qian turned around and saw Gu Mingxi standing by a bicycle repair station. Dumbfounded, she asked, “Why are you standing there?”

“This place isn’t easily noticed by people.” Gu Mingxi looked up to the dark canopy above him. Then he walked over to Pang Qian and smiled, “Let’s go home.”

Pang Qian was still smiling nonstop. “Like this, it’s like we’re part of the special tasks force.”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t like others talking about us?” Gu Mingxi said lightly, “Then we just won’t let them see us.”

Pang Qian opened her mouth, wanting to tell him that actually she didn’t care anymore. Xie Yi was right. How could the relationship between her and Gu Mingxi be affected by those stupid boys in their class? But seeing Gu Mingxi’s clear as water eyes, Pang Qian felt that if she said that now, it would seem a bit fake. So she just closed her lips.

While they were waiting for the bus, Pang Qian ran over to the small shop to buy a popsicle. She was eating it as she walked back. Gu Mingxi, who was waiting for her at the bus stop, saw her licking on the popsicle like a glutton and called out, laughing, “Pang Pang, if you don’t eat something on the way home every day, will you be unable to go home?”

“Shut up! I don’t!” Pang Qian gave him a light smack on the shoulder. “It’s so hot today so I was just thirsty.”

In the past, she would often show such intimate actions towards him – pinching him, hitting him, tickling him. When they were even younger, they would even sleep in the same bed, rolling around and playing. Gu Mingxi never tried to hide or hide his disabled body. But for some reason, when Pang Qian hit him this time, he took a step back and distanced himself from her.

Pang Qian was a bit taken aback, her hand still hanging in the air. She sulkily pulled her hand back. And as if it wasn’t a big deal, she continued licking her popsicle. Gu Mingxi didn’t say anything. After a few minutes, her popsicle was finished, and the bus arrived.

The bus was packed during the evening rush hour. By the time Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi boarded the bus, all the seats had long been taken. Pang Qian payed two coins and she and Gu Mingxi walked onto the bus.

In this kind of weather, Gu Mingxi was wearing a short sleeved shirt, and his disabled body was very eye-catching. The bus driver put on the reminder, the female voice repeating, “Please give up your seat for passengers who need it. Thank you.”

Before the announcement went on, it was still fine. Afterwards though, a lot of people took note of Gu Mingxi. But still, no one gave up their seat.

Gu Mingxi’s face didn’t show any particular expression. He just found a vertical pole and leaned against it.

The bus started. Gu Mingxi was standing sideways, his shoulder against the pole, and his legs spread to maintain his balance. Pang Qian stood at his side protecting him. She held onto a pole with one of her hands, and wrapped her other arm around his waist.
