It was useless to have an umbrella. After picking up the people, all six boys entered the dormitory soaked with water.
The maintenance uncle had already fixed the switch. Xie Lan took another shower and climbed into bed at almost twelve o'clock.
When he woke up early the next morning, something was wrong with him.
When I first said "Good morning", my voice was broken for the first two words, and the last word was completely silent.
Dou Sheng quickly stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, "Your body temperature is okay. Does your head hurt?"
Xie Lan shook his head listlessly, "It doesn't hurt."
I just feel a little groggy and want to sleep.
After buying breakfast and entering the room, he originally wanted to lie down on his seat until the coach came, but as soon as he sat down, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. There was a crowd of people crowded in front of the podium, noisy and noisy, and occasionally someone looked over at him.
Li Yuening stood up and threw away the breakfast trash, and inadvertently looked at Xie Lan.
He twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, "It's okay. It happens once or twice. It's normal for fluctuations."
Um
Xie Lan's head was filled with dizziness. After a while, he realized that the daily test report card had probably come out.
Dou Sheng stood up and asked in a low voice, "Want to go see it?"
Xie Lan was exhausted and sighed: "I'm not going, take a photo for me."
Dou Sheng walked to the podium, reached into the crowd, quickly took a picture, and sent it to Xie Lan.
Dou Sheng ranked first, 94.
Geng Rui ranked second at 90.
Li Yuening and Dai You tied for third, 82.
Xie Lan only answered seven of the fifteen questions. He is self-aware, and after scanning the results in front of him, he goes directly to the end.
In the exam of 82 people, he ranked 78th, 38. This means that among the seven questions he only completed, one of them was wrong.
Suffocated.
Xie Lan sighed deeply and was not in the mood to lie down anymore. He took out the daily test paper that he had not finished yesterday and read it again.
A gust of wind suddenly blew outside the door. Geng Rui grabbed the burrito and ran in and sat down.
Li Yuening moved inside and said, "The transcript has been sent to you."
Geng Rui opened his mouth and took several bites of the burrito, saying vaguely, "Thank you, I saw it."
Li Yuening asked, "Where did you get the question wrong?"
Geng Rui was still stuffing stuff into his mouth, shaking his head, "I don't know, I guess I stepped on a trap. Let's wait for the teacher to explain."
He seemed to treat his mouth like a worthless bag, stuffing it into it desperately. While chewing, he stood up to get the water, and finally turned around to meet Xie Lan's eyes.
It was probably because Xie Lan was too resentful that he stretched out his neck suddenly and almost fell on Xie Lan's table.
Xie Lan quickly wrapped his hands around the pencil case and paper and pulled it back, guarding against dirt and looking at him warily.
Geng Rui waved his hand quickly, "Brother, I choked myself, there is no other meaning. One or two exams is nothing, don't be too nervous."
"I'm not nervous." Xie Lan sighed, "I didn't think about it that way, I thought you were going to vomit."
"Oh, I'm in a hurry to eat." Geng Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "Stop talking, the training is coming soon."
Lao Ma must have said hello to Coach Kang, but Coach Kang didn't mention his performance at all. He didn't complain when he was stuck in a quick review and just let it go.
The lectures on the second day were even more intense than those on the first day. Every question was broken into pieces, and we had to draw inferences from one example. While listening to the lecture, Xie Lan completed the missed questions by himself. He had several times more brain cells than others. After looking at those words for a whole day, he felt nauseous.
After finishing the day's test at night, Xie Lan felt that he was not going to die soon.
Dou Sheng sighed worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"I want to drink something iced." Xie Lan said listlessly, "I want to drink some very, very iced cocoa milk."
Dou Sheng hesitated: "Do you have a cold? Can you drink ice?"
Xie Lan's eyes were empty, "But there is a poisonous fire in my body that attacks my heart, and I need the Nine Heavens Xuan Jade to transform it."
“…”
A rare dullness appeared on Dou Sheng's face, "Okay. Then you and Che Ziming and the others go back to the dormitory and go out to buy some."
Xie Lan nodded reluctantly, "Yeah."
Che Ziming and the others were still debating the function interval for the last question of the daily test. Several people from the attached middle school and city d experiment also joined the debate. About ten people stayed until the end, arguing so hard that the roof of the house was lifted, but they still couldn't figure out the reason. .
Guo Ruize slammed the table in anger, and suddenly glanced at Xie Lan, who was half-dead in the front row, "Great God! Do you want to consider the situation where x is equal to zero?"
Xie Lan laughed, "I'm laughing so hard, I didn't even finish the last question."
"Ah?" Guo Ruize was stunned, "You haven't finished the paper? What's going on with you? It's like a different person. I'm thinking that the questions I've practiced in the past two days are not difficult to understand."
Xie Lan smiled softly and was about to take out Ma's ancient arithmetic and function story session to open their eyes when Dai You suddenly cleared his throat.
"He has a cold and is not feeling well." Dai You said lightly: "Let's practice speaking tomorrow. Don't be stubborn."
Hearing this, Guo Ruize looked at Xie Lan again in surprise, "Then... okay, let's break up."
A large group of people walked back together, and Xie Lan followed slowly at the end.
He looked back in the direction of the school gate several times.
It was so dark that I couldn't see if there was a boyfriend behind me who had just returned from buying a drink.
Maybe it was because of his illness that he walked among this group of people. He knew most of them, but he suddenly felt a little lonely.
Dai You took a few steps back from the front and whispered: "Don't take the initiative to tell people that your questions are different."
"Huh?" Xie Lan turned around, a little confused, "Why?"
Dai You explained: "The provincial motto is to take care of everyone. That's true, but you are a bit special."
Xie Lan's head was groggy, and he reacted for a while, "But this method can only be regarded as taking care of him."
"Well, it would be nonsense if it had been anyone else." Dai You nodded, took a few steps back, and lowered his voice: "But there are mixed people in the class, and they are all opponents who will fight in the examination room in the future. It is difficult to guarantee that some people will feel unbalanced. . Lao Ma has good intentions, don’t let him take risks.”
Xie Lan was stunned for a while.
He didn't expect such a thing to happen. After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it did make sense. He sighed, "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Dai You nodded, "If you ask Douzi again, he will definitely think so too."
"Um."
Dai You ran two steps quickly and continued to discuss the topic with everyone. Xie Lan looked at his back and suddenly felt a sense of pressure.
Dai You: He is very attentive, good at observation, and thinks about things comprehensively.
It seemed that he and Dou Sheng had to be more careful in the dormitory from now on, otherwise they would be discovered sooner or later.
Dou Sheng arrived at the dormitory earlier than them and bought iced cocoa milk and cold medicine.
He saw that Xie Lan only allowed him to drink half a bottle of milk. After drinking the milk and taking medicine, he let Xie Lan wash up and go to bed.
Xie Lan immediately opened the novel as soon as he got into bed, wanting to go to the world of immortality to heal, but he could only barely read a few lines before his head started spinning.
—Ma’s weight-bearing training may help him quit reading novels.
"Don't read it if you feel confused." Dou Sheng reached out and touched his head on the other side of the railing, "By the way, the anime seems to have had one more episode, but you should be much ahead in reading the novel."
Xie Lan was relieved and immediately opened station B, "It's okay to be ahead, let's take a look."
As soon as I entered station b, my phone started to freeze. I clicked on the private messages of unfollowed people and the list automatically started to refresh.
New messages are popping up one after another.
-Lan Zai, you have been gone for too long
-It’s been a long time since there was a new video!
-Even if it’s live broadcast
-Grandpa, has the up you follow been updated today
-Now I almost suspect that you abandoned your account immediately after being stripped of your vest.
-Bao, there’s no need to hide in the dark when it comes to competitions!
-Missing notice: Xie Lan, nicknamed Ermao, international code name is s. Anyone who provides clues will be heavily rewarded!
They are all reminders.
Xie Lan read it with a blank expression, put on his headphones, and entered the world of Jianqi Xianxia.
Dou Sheng patted his pillow gently, "You have to open your business, how about a live broadcast on Sunday afternoon?"
"I know." Xie Lan said perfunctorily: "Let's think about what to do first."
Today's episode of the anime is particularly exciting. A sword-fighting discussion that was an understatement in the original book was made into an animation and exploded.
On the way, Jian Qi was pierced through the shoulder by a sword. He vomited blood and turned pale. He fell straight into the deep cliff with the strong wind of heaven and earth. Xie Lan hissed several times in pain. After the pain, he frantically took screenshots of the battle-damaged scene. Poke and explode.
As soon as the door opened, Dou Sheng came back from the shower with a head full of steam.
Xie Lan suddenly turned over, looked at him from the edge of the bed, and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever vomited blood?"
Dou Sheng almost dropped the washbasin to the floor, "What is it? Did you vomit blood??"
He raised his foot and stepped on the ladder. Xie Lan quickly shook his head and pushed him back, "No, I'm just curious."
Dou Sheng looked confused, "Is there anyone else curious about this??"
Xie Lan didn't say anything. He looked at the screenshots of battle damage stored in the photo album several times. He looked at them with Dou Sheng's facial features and found them particularly touching.
Some broken inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, and the feeling of drowsiness subsided a lot, and he said: "I want to make a character song for Jian Qi, so I can practice arranging it and do a live broadcast on Sunday afternoon. ”
"Okay." Dou Sheng smiled casually: "It feels good to be freed from those brain-burning math problems and change my mind."
There were six days of training in the first week, plus Sunday morning, and the results of six daily tests were published.
Xie Lan made good progress during the week, reaching 62nd place for the last time, but what was terrible was that Kang Lian also improved his preliminaries results, and Xie Lan's cliff data suddenly became the brightest star in the night sky.
He had long since lost his temper. He came back from watching the show with an expressionless expression and was ready to go back to the live broadcast.
Geng Rui suddenly came over and whispered: "Xie Lan, are you not very good at functions?"
Xie Lan paused, "Huh?"
"Thinking about it carefully, you should be very strong in geometric thinking, but not good in functions. The function questions in the preliminaries are generally very difficult in geometry." Geng Rui analyzed it clearly to himself and was stunned. "The geometry is a weak point, and it takes a lot of effort to do it every time, but the function is okay. How about we complement each other?"
Xie Lan sighed helplessly, "Don't make up for it. I just want to make up for my Chinese skills."
Geng Rui was stunned for a moment, "What Chinese language should I study for? Don't leave. Seriously, we can both improve by complementing each other. I don't want to compete, I just want to improve."
His words were sincere, but Xie Lan was sorry.
He refused several times in succession, grabbed his schoolbag and walked out with Dou Sheng, but Geng Rui still followed.
Geng Rui chased after him: "You believe me, I have the function package, I have my own set of problem-solving ideas, I will carry you."
"..." It turns out that English verbs can also be overlapped, which is really amazing.
Geng Rui then talked to himself, "You have been watching cartoons during the lunch break these two days. To be honest, you have already entered the provincial training. You performed so well in the preliminaries. You can't give up! The function is so good As long as you grasp the method, the block will rise quickly. Bro, if you really can’t believe it, I’ll show you the function notes of first. If you think it’s OK, we’ll make a deal.”
“…”
Xie Lan just wanted to beg him not to speak English.
Dou Sheng walked beside him with a cold expression, Geng Rui followed him outside, and Xie Lan finally gave up.
He looked at Geng Rui helplessly, "I told you that the questions I got were different from yours. It was not me who was wrong, but the questions. Would you believe it?"
Geng Rui stared blankly for five seconds.
"Brother!" He seemed to suddenly realize, "You really can't watch those middle-class cartoons. What's wrong is that the world is not me, you are in the real world! You should wake up, this is a competition, this is Mathematics! If you are wrong in the math test, you are the one who is wrong!”
"puff."
Xie Lan's eyes narrowed and he leaned to the side.
Dou Sheng immediately suppressed his smile and waved his hand casually, "I'm not smiling. There's hair stuck in my throat. You continue."
Xie Lan: “…”
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Zhao Wenying's call came in. After saying that he had bought two valuable paintings, Xiao Ma took a vacation and asked Dou Sheng to go home and watch people move in.
Xie Lan could only live broadcast in the dormitory alone.
Dai You and Wang Gou were sitting on the bed playing games. Yu Fei went home. Che Ziming couldn't bear the loneliness and came to play with them.
Xie Lan carefully adjusted the camera angle to ensure that they were not in the frame, and then started the live broadcast.
As soon as the stream was pushed, the barrage gradually started to pop up.
-Ah, Lan Zai suddenly appeared
-haven't seen you for a long time! good afternoon!
-s, I squatted on you for a long time after you fell off the horse, and finally did a live broadcast
-I didn’t see the violin. Aren’t you going to play the piano today
-This background is in a dormitory
-Douzi, is Douzi here
-lol, isn't your fake boyfriend here
Xie Lan clicked on the simple arranging software on his iPad and answered the barrage's questions sentence by sentence.
"He's going home. I won't be playing the piano during the live broadcast today. I want to hear how he plays the piano next time."
"The provincial training is very busy, so I will take Sunday afternoon off and broadcast live."
"His video... I don't know what to say. You can wait until he submits it later."
The number of people gradually increased, and more and more people mentioned the challenge of pretending to be a boyfriend in the barrage. Xie Lan was so embarrassed that he simply turned the camera downwards to prevent his face from being shown.
"If you want to write something original and practice writing today, you can just treat it as a study room."
-Hurrah
-You can do whatever you want, we are very satisfied
-What app is this
-Looks so professional
"The software is Cubasis." Xie Lan said casually: "I haven't used it a few times, and I'm still trying to figure it out. I rarely did real arrangements before, and I just made random changes on the violin."
-"Change it as you like"
-"Still Exploring"
- Lan Zai, come on, mom doesn’t understand, just take a look.
Xie Lan put on the headphones and said, "I'll just let you play the broken things. You can find a BGM and play it yourself, or listen to my roommate playing games."
Perhaps because he has been with Dou Sheng for a long time, he has become more and more casual with his fans. Live broadcasts and submissions are all done according to his own comfort.
He has been recording some inspirations off and on this week. He first sorted out the melodies that only had a few bars, then sorted them out carefully, and occasionally hummed a few lines.
-Lan Bao can listen to whatever he hums.
-I love the teenage voice. I used to like Douzi’s voice the most, but now it’s starting to waver.
-Lan Zai’s voice is softer
-s It’s great to be on station b. I never thought I could see you arranging music.
-Hahaha, roommates playing games is a bit funny
-No one can be seen. There should be three roommates here
-Who is Gouzi? Fuck you, why do you still have this name
As soon as Dai You and the others started the group, their voices suddenly became intense. But Xie Lan was very focused once he was immersed in one thing. He hummed while arranging the melody, occasionally stopping to check other compositions, and getting started while groping, which lasted more than two hours.
While he was in good condition, he finished writing the main melody and half of the chorus. He stopped and wanted to take a break. Finally, he scanned the screen and found that it had over a million hits.
He didn't expect so many people to watch this kind of live broadcast, so he put down his water glass and said, "Let's chat, we'll be off soon."
-Want to chat? Just finished my homework
-The camera was a little out of focus just now. I wanted to help you with the melody, but I’m a student of arranging.
-When will Douzi come back
Xie Lan looked at the time and said, "It should be almost soon..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
Dou Sheng walked in with his cell phone, and Xie Lan's voice, delayed for two seconds, appeared on the phone, "It should be soon..."
That sound was captured by Xie Lan's live broadcast equipment again, and the live broadcast sounded like a baby inside the coat several times.
Che Ziming suddenly became happy, "Hey, this is fun, isn't it?"
Dou Sheng glanced at him with an idiot look and said impatiently: "Get up, don't sit on the seat."
Barrage surged.
-Is Douzi back
- Douzi comes into the mirror and lets me see it!
-I heard the sound of beans
-I'm so worried. Where is Douzi
Che Ziming stood up with a grumble, squatted on the ground and continued playing games.
"Hey, you two are waiting for a group start!" he shouted.
Dai You was speechless, "You are really too lazy."
Wang Gou then added, "It's optional."
Che Ziming: “…”
Dou Sheng came back from outside and it was extremely hot. He drank half a glass of water and looked down at the barrage on his phone, all calling for him to appear.
"Here we come." He said lazily.
Putting down the water glass and walking behind Xie Lan, he flipped the lens upwards, put his arm on Xie Lan's shoulders, leaned over and touched his head, "Is the boyfriend live broadcast still on?"
In the camera, the two of them were standing and sitting together, Dou Sheng's leaning movements were natural and intimate, and there was almost no sense of distance between the two.
Xie Lan's cheeks were slightly red, his Adam's apple moved several times, and he hummed uncomfortably.
"It's okay," he whispered.
The barrage exploded on the spot.
-Lie! groove!
-Douzi, you are so horny!
-Is it so exciting when you come back
-You two, this scene is too smooth
-exist? Take out the film school offer
-Boy friend! Ahhhh! ! !
The live broadcast room exploded into fireworks, but the people behind them suddenly stopped talking.
Xie Lan watched the barrage start to freeze in large chunks, and his ears were burning terribly. He quickly said: "I want to record that video, on purpose. The device is about to run out of power, so I will download it first."
The barrage is still lagging, and the last wave of "ahhh"s haven't finished yet, and those who protested against his offline can no longer show their faces.
He breathed a sigh of relief, said a few quick goodbyes, and cut off the live broadcast.
Dou Sheng smiled, stood up and yawned and returned to his seat, "I've been watching your live broadcast all afternoon. The team that delivered the paintings is so professional. I don't even know what my mother asked me to go back to do."
"What painting did you buy?" Xie Lan asked.
Dou Sheng shook his head, "One is orchids, and the other is calligraphy. I don't understand it, so I can't tell which one is more expensive. Oh, I brought a lot of snacks back from home."
As he spoke, he took out chocolate, beef jerky, and biscuits from his bag, all in bulk. He got up and grabbed a few handfuls and put them on the tables of Dai You and Wang Gou, then wrapped a bag and threw them to Che Ziming, and put the rest into Xie Lan's cabinet.
Xie Lan took a piece of chocolate, peeled it open, and put it in his mouth. He was about to pick up the iPad when he suddenly paused.
He suddenly realized that the dormitory was eerily quiet, and no one even made a sound while Dou Sheng was eating.
Looking back carefully, this silence seems to have started with the phrase "boyfriend".
Xie Lan made a sound and subconsciously looked at Che Ziming. Che Ziming was staring blankly. He stared at him for a while and then he suddenly realized what he was doing.
"Ah haha!" Che Ziming quickly tore open a pack of biscuits and stuffed it into his mouth without looking at it. "Thanks, hahaha! It's so fragrant and delicious!"
The two of them on the bed had been playing games with their heads down. When they heard what he was talking about, Dai You put down his phone and said, "I'm really hungry. Do you want to eat?"
Wang Gou nodded, "Eat it, help me bring it up, thank you. Thank you Douzi too! I was just in Tuan Dalong, so I didn't take care of it."
Dou Sheng chewed the beef jerky without saying a word, turned around and took a dangerous look at Che Ming.
Soon, the dormitory became quiet again. Dai You and Wang Gou continued to play black, just like before. Wang Gou was thirsty after eating biscuits and asked Dou Sheng to give him water.
Xie Lan asked, "What happened to you?"
Dai You replied without raising his head, "I'm almost winning. That wave just now was pretty good. I won even if I didn't have a car."
Wang Gou also nodded, "You have to be focused when playing games, you can't be like Che Ziming."
Xie Lan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saved the arrangement file, but when he thought about it, he felt very scared.
He thought for a moment and chatted privately with Che Ziming.
-Afternoon Grape Ice: You are too obvious Che Lizi
-cherries:
- Afternoon Grape Bing: I said before that I would challenge pretending to be my boyfriend, and it’s up to you to laugh happily. If you suddenly stop smiling, Dai You and Wang Gou will be suspicious. Fortunately, they didn't pay attention this time.
-Cheerilee: ... But I can't laugh.
- Afternoon Grape Bing: Work hard, we are not ready to confess to everyone yet.
Che Ziming squatted beside Dou Sheng's desk and sighed, suddenly pulling out two handfuls of hair.
Xie Lan put down the phone, looked at him, and nodded to him solemnly.
It's up to you.
Che Ziming twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a dangerous smile that was uglier than crying.
