Rebel

It is said that the day was sunny, Gu Ao and Huai Xin were reading until noon, Yun Ang came to the bamboo forest as usual with a food box, but his face was cold.Yunying approached, unceremoniously threw the food box on the boulder, made a "bang", and said to Huaixin angrily, "Eat!"

Both Huai Xin and Gu Ao were confused by Yun Ang's actions and looked at each other, but it was Huai Xin who asked first, "Mr. Yun, why is there no brother Gu's meal today?"

Gu Ao also looked at Yun Ang with some doubts, but Yun Ang sneered for a moment, didn't even say hello to Gu Ao, then looked away, and only said to Huai Xin: "He? He's just a villain who is trying to gain power! "

Gu Ao received such accusations for no reason, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know where I offended Mr. Yun?"

Yunying raised her brows upside down, her jade face was full of evil, and she said angrily, "You know it yourself!"

Gu Ao's heart is full of doubts. A few days ago, Yun Yang accompanied him to carry water back to the dormitory every day. His words also expressed concern for him, a student who left home. Gu Ao still felt a lot of admiration in his heart. It's only been a day, and Yun Ang turned ruthless?What is going on?

Huai Xin watched Yun Ying's face silently, she understood most of it in her heart, she couldn't help coughing again: "...Could it be...cough cough...are there any rumors outside?"

When Yunying heard Huai Xin mentioned the crux of the matter, she became even more impatient, her eyes blushed slightly, and she told Huai Xin, "Isn't it just a rumor?! You actually said that I...I..."

The word 'commitment' couldn't be uttered, so he just pointed at Gu Ao and said, "He told people everywhere that I was in love with him! He also said that he was able to deceive me because he studied hard... ...makes me happy..."

When Gu Ao heard this, his face froze, and he asked, "Who said that?"

Yun Ang said angrily: "You said it yourself, you still ask who said it?!"

Just as Gu Ao wanted to refute, Huai Xin said: "...In my opinion...Brother Gu doesn't look like someone who would say such a thing..."

"It's spread all over the outside world now! Brother Huai, how can you help him?!"

Huai Xin shrank her shoulders when Yun Ang yelled at her, lowered her eyes, and stopped talking.

Gu Ao thought for a while, and argued, "One day, my roommate asked me why he was wearing brocade clothes and no one had friends with him, while I was wearing common clothes, but I had friends. He was very useless at that time, and I wanted to persuade him to make progress. , I said, you should study hard. But I didn't expect him to misinterpret it like this...Young Master just said those...those..." Gu Ao didn't know how to describe it, and said: "In short, those words that Young Master said just now, Gu Ao Ao is determined not to say anything!"

Yun Ang turned his head away, not looking at Gu Ao at all.With disgust on his face, he took a step back.

What Yun Ang hated the most in his life was that someone coveted his appearance.

He treated Gu Ao very well before, but he felt that Gu Ao was not such a person.In addition, you pity that he comes from a poor family but has great ambitions, which makes him feel close.Now that there are so many rumors outside, it turns out that Gu Ao, who I trust the most among the students, is also a chasing after fame and sex!

He even showed off his achievements everywhere, saying: "I can get Mr. Yun's favor because I study hard. And I wear rough clothes every day, which makes him pity me and love me, and he can't extricate himself! Now Mr. Yun is gone!" I have it in my hands, I am not afraid that he will not commit himself!"

These were originally fabricated rumors spread by the children of the family... But Yunhang really cared about Gu Ao, and seeing that these few words were to the point, Yunyang felt that the sincere heart he was holding was being captured by Gu Ao. When Gu Ao cut with the knife, blood was released.

Gu Ao had never encountered such a situation before, seeing that Yun Ang hated him so much, he silently put away the scroll, bid farewell to Huai Xin, turned around and walked out of the bamboo forest.

As soon as Gu Ao left, Yun Ang felt even more sad in his heart. Before Gu Ao had gone far, Yun Ang chased up from behind and scolded Gu Ao, "You lied!"

Gu Ao saw that Yun Ang was going to put himself in the class of disciples, and he couldn't help feeling very aggrieved. He stopped and turned to look at Yun Ang. Gu Ao looked at Yun Ang silently for a while, and then He bowed deeply and said: "Gu Ao is rude, I will never talk to you again, and I will never look at you again, please rest assured."

With that said, Gu Ao turned around and left.

Yun Ang stayed where he was, and couldn't help staring at the open space in front of him, dazed for a while.

----

Once back in the house, Gu Ao rummaged through boxes and chests to find an old bed sheet to cut, and hung it high in the room, dividing the space into two halves.Tian Rong had just made a hat, inlaid it with jade, and bought brocade shoes, and was happily returning to Shanyun Academy.Pushing open the door, he saw Gu Ao standing on a chair hanging the curtain.

Unknown, Tian Rong came forward and asked, "Brother Ao, what are you doing?"

Gu Ao said coldly: "From now on I will be me and you will be you."

"Why?" Tian Rong hurriedly put away the things in his hands, and asked in a panic.

Gu Ao glanced condescendingly at Tian Rong, seeing his outfit, he couldn't help snorting coldly, and said, "I finally know where the jade on your hat came from."

Seeing Gu Ao's facial expression, Tian Rong also became angry. Since he wore brocade clothes these days, and traveled around the county town and won a lot of respect from passers-by, he became more and more angry, saying: "What's the matter? I asked." Yes, you answered. I tell others what you answered, and I can get a piece of jade! Isn’t it better than you carrying water every day?!”

Gu Ao was extremely angry, and said angrily: "I will never associate with you again!"

Tian Rongshang argued: "You said those words yourself, I just relayed them. If you really have the ability, you should not have said them in the first place. Now that you said something wrong yourself, why are you still blaming me? "

Gu Ao felt that he and Tian Rong could no longer communicate, so he closed the curtain, lay down on his head, rolled up the quilt, closed his ears and ignored Tian Rong.

Tian Rong was happy to buy some clothes that day, but seeing Gu Ao suddenly said that he wanted to break up with him, he couldn't help feeling depressed, and didn't want to stay with Gu Ao, so he ran out quickly.

In fact, since coming to Shanyun Academy, not only Gu Ao realized his own shortcomings, but was inspired to forge ahead and advance bravely; Tian Rong was also impacted by a series of events, and his thinking changed drastically.

The two words he has established himself in the world since he was a child are "obedient"-the so-called cleverness means to find someone to rely on, and to use the situation to exert strength.

So when he was in the Tian family, he relied on Madam Tian; while in the school, he relied on Gu Ao.The method of relying on people is also simple - you only need to find out who is the backbone in a scene, and lean on it.

But since Tian Rong came out of the mountain, met Huahua World, and left Mrs. Tian and Mr. Tian who could rely on him, the foundation of his life in the world has been eroded unconsciously.

Gu Ao, whom he relied on in the past, is not only not the backbone in Shanyun Academy, but even has the meaning of being criticized by everyone; and even if Tian Rong can see that Liao Quji is the center surrounded by the group of aristocratic families, he can't rely on it. by the past.

If you look at it from outside, he has no brocade clothes on his body, and there is a gap between him and the family members in terms of clothing;

If you look at it from the inside, he was born in a poor family, so he couldn't get into the eyes of the children of the aristocratic family at all.

Of course, when Tian Rong was young, Tian Rong's mind was still a mess, and he didn't straighten it out.

He just instinctively felt that he needed brocade clothes;

He just instinctively felt that if he followed Gu Ao in everything now, he might not be able to please him.

So he indulged himself, lost the word "diligence" that he had practiced in the mountains before, and went to the county town in a sedan chair every three days.

He also thought about buying clothes, although Tian Rong himself knew that "if you buy those, you will have no means of living", he was also worried; but for some reason, Tian Rong felt that he had to do this.

In Tian Rong's deep heart, which he himself has never been aware of... He seems to have a natural understanding instilled by the Tian family's poor and warm interpersonal relationship - he is invincible in front of others - it is based on this understanding, Based on this feeling, Tian Rong felt that it was not impossible to integrate into the circle of the aristocratic family...

Tian Rong was still young, so naturally he couldn't sort things out. He pulled out his own thinking and found out his real body. He just acted on instinct.

So there are often some so-called "hopes" that occasionally appear in Tian Rong's chaotic and wronged dreams, such as: "If I dress like them, maybe they will meet me."

But now, his view seems to be proved clearly - he has only changed into a brocade clothes, and there is already a servant from an aristocratic family to win him over.

At this time, Tian Rong didn't know what all this meant.

He just felt that the hardships and sufferings he endured these days, his hopes and resentments these days seemed to have been answered by God—he had a chance to truly become a member of Shanyun Academy.

Now, he didn't see the harm he brought to Gu Ao; but he clearly felt Gu Ao's hindrance to him.

Tian Rong even came up with an idea: If Gu Ao hadn't offended all the family members when he came, he might have become friends with them long ago!

Tian Rong had long forgotten at this time that when he first arrived at Shanyun Academy and felt humiliated, it was Gu Ao who stood in front of him, shielding him from the wind and rain and refuting everyone.

At that time, he followed Gu Ao and praised Gu Ao: "You speak so well"!

The one thing that makes young people unstable is forgetfulness.

Tian Rong selectively filtered out the parts he didn't want to believe in those who disdain—now he has reconstructed such a memory picture in his mind—the so-called hostility of the aristocratic family is not aimed at He, Tian Rong, aimed at Gu Ao; it was Gu Ao who did not respect the inheritance of the aristocratic family in Shanyun Academy, and they didn't like him.

Tian Rong thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it—are those sons of aristocratic families really feel sorry for Gu Ao?

The answer is, no.

When Lord Xun introduced Gu Ao to them, they were all polite;

When Liao Quji asked Gu Ao to write a poem, there was no disrespect in etiquette;

Even when Gu Ao couldn't write poems, Liao Quji rescued Gu Ao!

It was Gu Ao's arrogant appearance that opened the distance between him and them.

Tian Rong saw it in his eyes, and felt sorry for Gu Ao after thinking about it, and thought: Brother Ao, your style in Mangdang Mountain is useless now that you are out of the mountain!

It turned out that in Tian's house, there was still Mrs. Tian's eyes looking at Tian Rong, and Tian Rong always wanted to put on a cute and naive look, and her heart was softer.Now without Mrs. Tian, ​​Tian Rong has been completely liberated, just like all young people who have just gained independence, Tian Rong's repressed opposite side of his personality has been revealed rebelliously.

From naive to snobbish, it's just a piece of paper with two sides turned over; just like a black and white fish with yin and yang, it bites head and tail together and turns according to the situation.

And at the time when Tian Rong's heart was quietly changing; Gu Ao also began to speak sarcasticly or ignore Tian Rong on weekdays, which accelerated Tian Rong's "reflection": "What happened in the Mangdang Mountains in the past , it may not be all right if it is copied to the present. I may not have to rely on Brother Ao for everything."

He once said to Gu Ao, "I went down the mountain to buy a piece of brocade clothes", but in his heart, Tian Rong wanted to tell Gu Ao that he was also running around for the situation of the two of them.But Gu Ao not only disapproved of him, but didn't know his difficulties, instead he asked him: "Then how much do you get for buying books?" Then he went to fetch water by himself in a fit of anger.Seeing that Gu Ao didn't understand his efforts to save the situation at all, Tian Rong couldn't help feeling emotionally alienated from Gu Ao.

Tian Rong thinks it's not that he hasn't tried to save Gu Ao, he has been living with Gu Ao's face these days.Even if Gu Ao made such an obvious act of dissatisfaction with him every day - going down the mountain to carry water, he still faced Gu Ao with a smiling face and spoke timidly.

However, no matter how good a person is, he will feel exhausted after trying many times without getting a response, let alone Tian Rong is only a child.

If he hadn't looked at the relationship between Gu Ao and himself when he was a child, and according to Tian Rong's temperament of clinging to the strong, how could he be with Gu Ao now?

But Tian Rong felt that he still couldn't let go of Gu Ao after all.

After all, we grew up together.

Just like Tian Rong called her biological mother "auntie", she couldn't bring Mrs. Tian who was called "mother" by Tian Rong to give Tian Rong status and benefits, but Tian Rong had feelings for her biological mother.

Now it is the same for Gu Ao.

Tian Rong was a child who acted according to his feelings since he was a child, and some of his cleverness and wisdom are all excitement hidden deep in his bones.So although he can't understand some things mentally, his sense of touch is keen.

Now Tian Rong is determined by feeling, and has discovered Gu Ao's loss of power; also because Gu Ao treats him badly with a cold heart, there is some estrangement, but Tian Rong still can't let go of Gu Ao in his heart.

The most obvious is the present.

——He thought it was absurd that Gu Ao didn't make friends with the students of Yuanmeng Academy, and there must be no way out; so when the "way out" appeared in front of him, Tian Rong stepped on Gu Ao's behalf without hesitation. go in.

Still thinking: What's wrong with this?

He didn't know that Young Master Yun was Shan Yunzi's youngest son;

He only knew: "I didn't see Mr. Yun in the Yuanmeng courtyard that day, and it seems that he is not a gregarious person." '

This is the end of the matter... If you really want to trace the source, why did he and Gu Ao have such a big disagreement...

In fact, it was because he and Gu Ao were not the same kind of people.

When confronted with a strong person, Tian Rong took the path of dependence; while Gu Ao took the path of fighting against courtesy.

When he is weak, Tian Rong will try his best to avoid it; but Gu Ao is willing to spread his wings to protect him.

If we only talk about the personalities of the two of them, if Gu Ao is strong, the two will unite; if Gu Ao is weak, the two will separate.

However, the reality is not the same...

Because there is another thread holding the two of them together, which is called childhood love.

The author has something to say:

Gu Ao was a rare only child in ancient times. In the article, I counted Tian Rong as his younger brother.Gu Ao also regards Tian Rong as a close person similar to his younger brother, and there will be a big reversal later.
