Ji Ran saw Ji Wei's group at a glance.
Nothing else, but the bald man's hair was already bald, and the white was so eye-catching that Ji Ranguang recognized him when he saw his back.
At this time, the bald man suddenly turned his head, still muttering in his mouth, and caught Ji Ran's eyes off guard.
The bald man was startled, and quickly avoided his eyes and turned back.
This looks like a tongue-in-cheek.
"Your good classmates are in the back." Ji Ran snorted, "Isn't there any normal person among you top students? All of you are like eight wives."
"There are such people in every class, only a few. Most of the classmates are good." Qin Man didn't care at all, and didn't even glance back, "Are we going in?"
Ji Ran locked the car: "you go first, I still have something to do."
"What's up?"
Just as Ji Ran was about to answer, he saw a white BMW brush past him and parked beautifully in front of his car.
The door opened, and a man in a gray suit stepped out.
The man was slender, and his movements to get out of the car were a little hasty. Ji Ran saw the other's face clearly, and raised his eyebrows unconsciously.
He had seen this man many years ago.
In the grove of the school, the man's brows and eyes were much younger than they are now, he lowered his head nervously, rubbed his fingers constantly, and whispered to the person he liked.
And the person he likes is standing next to his car now.
Ji Ran glanced at Qin Man. Qin Man obviously didn't notice the person in front of him. Feeling his gaze, Qin Man raised his eyes and said, "Huh?"
"...Just go to the milk tea shop." Ji Ran said.
Ji Ran saw the man in front of him walking towards them hesitantly.
"Qin Man." The man called out.
Qin Man turned his head, and the two met their eyes.
Ji Ran saw a lot of complicated emotions pop up in the man's eyes - excitement, coursing, and nervousness.
In short, not looking at the eyes of old classmates.
"It's really you." The man's eyes widened slightly, "You... do you remember me?"
"Remember, long time no see." Qin Man nodded in greeting.
His tone was flat, and there were no waves in his eyes.
"I thought you wouldn't come." The man grasped and loosened his grip. After repeating it twice, he said, "Will you go in together?"
"No, I have something else to do."
Only then did the other party realize that Ji Ran was also there.
He had a crush on Qin Man for an entire high school, and of course he knew about their relationship. He was a little surprised, but he didn't have time to ask. Just when he hesitated, Qin Man had already passed by him.
Qin Man took two steps and found that the people behind him were not following him. He turned around and asked, "Aren't you going?"
Ji Ran: "Ah."
"Don't you want to drink milk tea?" Qin Man said, "Let's go, there's still a queue over there."
Ji Ran recovered, "Oh", and raised his legs to follow.
Halfway through, Ji Ran said leisurely: "That person is still looking at us."
Qin Man paused and said truthfully, "Actually, I don't remember him."
Ji Ran choked: "What?"
"There are more than 30 people in the class. It's too many. I don't remember it." Qin Man asked, "Did you see him when you came to look for me in the class before?"
"Yeah... Fuck, who went to the class to find you? I'm going to piss you off!"
After Ji Ran finished speaking, he couldn't help but said, "How could you not remember, he also confessed to you."
Qin Man: "Really..."
There were many people who confessed to him, but not many boys. Ji Ran mentioned this, and he vaguely remembered some.
He looked at the person beside him, "How do you know he confessed to me?"
Ji Ran: "..."
Hold.
"Have you seen it? Or heard of it?" Qin Man asked with the corners of his mouth raised, "and you still remember this to this day?"
Ji Ran stood in the queue of the milk tea shop and turned his eyes away from him: "Who made me unlucky, can I see anything bad?"
"I remember because I think the man is blind, why are you happy?"
The queue finally came to an end. The proprietress saw Ji Ran, her smile deepened: "Xiao Ran? Why are you back?"
"Come to the school celebration."
The proprietress was a little surprised, because Ji Ran usually didn't enter the school gate even if he came to the store. She asked, "Are you alone?"
"And him." Ji Ran pointed to the people around him.
"Hello, Madam." Qin Man smiled, and even his tone was very well-behaved.
The proprietress nodded hurriedly: "Okay. What do you want to drink?"
"Old rules." Ji Ran asked the people around him, "What do you drink?"
"Same."
After taking the milk tea, the two decided to rest in the store for a while before leaving. There was still half an hour before the school celebrations started, and the sun was poisonous, and no one wanted to stay outside for much longer.
They sat on tables and chairs by the glass door.
Ji Ran absently played with the small pinball on the table.
Qin Man looked at him, remembering the skillful tone of the proprietress just now, and asked, "Do you often go back to school?"
Ji Ran sneered: "Why do you go back to that ghost place?"
"Just occasionally come here for a cup of milk tea."
Qin Man took a sip. He has never liked to drink these things, sweet and unhygienic.
"It's delicious."
"Come on, don't think I didn't see you frowning." Ji Ran said, "Why do you have to follow me if you don't want to drink? What a waste."
"I'm not worried, of course I have to follow."
Ji Ran said: "don't worry, I can leave you here and go by myself?"
Qin Man smiled: "Look around, little girls are peeking at you."
Ji Ran: "... where are you looking at me?"
Qin Man was right. The girls in the store, whether they were graduates who came to attend the school celebration or little girls at school, couldn't help but glance at them, and most of them were peeking at Ji Ran.
Mature men are good, but young girls still have a soft spot for handsome and ruffian bad boys. Just in Ji Ran's appearance, a girl who eats this type has even finished a shocking campus love with him in his mind.
Qin Man smiled noncommittally and looked at the time wall covered with post-it notes.
"what is this?"
Ji Ran paused and explained it casually: "... Anyway, it's just to pass the time."
Qin Man nodded: "Have you written it too?"
"How is that possible?!" Ji Ran didn't even think about it, and even spoke faster, "I'm not that boring!"
Two female students writing post-it notes next to them: "… "
Qin Man held back his smile: "I think it's pretty good. After a few years, I'll come back and look at my note, and I'll definitely find it very novel."
Ji Ran looked at the wall several times over and over, and was relieved after confirming that there was no note of his own on it.
"What's so new..." Ji Ran stood up when the time was almost up, "Let's go, let's go in."
As soon as the two walked to the door of the milk tea shop, they heard a conversation outside.
"Let me tell you, Ji Ran was definitely not invited by the school! Did he come back to make trouble? He came here uninvited, but he has a face."
"Okay." It turned out to be Ji Wei's voice, "What do you always talk to him about?"
"..." The man paused, "I'm trying to vent your anger!"
"You said that because of what happened in the box last time."
"No, Ji Wei, why did you suddenly help him talk? You don't hate him anymore?"
"Hate. So you don't mention him, okay?"
"Who do I think." Ji Ran turned around and walked out of the door, interrupting their conversation with a sneer, "So it's you again, little bald."
Seeing him, the bald man was so frightened that his tongue was knotted: "Little... Xiao what?? Why are you here?"
"What. I was so happy just chewing my tongue, why are you panicking now?"
Ji Ran smiled casually, "Don't worry, I didn't come back to make trouble, I came here specially to sew your mouth up, so that you don't have to keep pushing behind others' backs all day long. It's also saving the world. "
The bald man was startled, and unconsciously hid behind Ji Wei: "You, you are intimidating!"
"Yeah. How about, call the police and arrest me?" Ji Ran felt amused when he saw his virtue.
Ji Wei frowned: "Okay, don't make trouble."
"Who do you care?" Ji Ran scoffed.
When Ji Ran said it was cool, Qin Man walked forward slowly.
"It's almost time, let's go first."
Ji Ran was not in a hurry to leave, but Qin Man came to the stage to give a speech in the first order and could not be late.
He clicked his tongue, stared at the bald man and said, "Let me hear you talking nonsense about me behind your back... Or other people's bad words, I'm really shutting your mouth! Do you hear the little bald head?"
It wasn't until Ji Ran walked away that the bald man dared to say, "... Really unqualified!"
—
A row of people from the etiquette department stood at the entrance of the school, politely welcoming the guests of the school celebration.
The closer to the school gate, the slower Ji Ran's pace.
After Qin Man noticed it, he followed him and slowed down: "What's the matter."
"It's okay." Ji Ran lowered his head when he reached the door, "Go in."
After many years, Ji Ran came back here again.
For him, it was a place of darkness and bullying, with very few people and things to remember.
When the little girl from the etiquette department saw them, she stepped forward and asked with a blushing face, "Hello, do you have an invitation letter? Or the graduates who came to visit?"
Qin Man handed her the invitation letter: "It's for the two of you."
The girl glanced at it, nodded and said, "Senior, the school celebration is about to start. Do you need me to take you to the small auditorium? The school has been rectified many times, and the small auditorium has changed places. I am worried that you will not be able to find it."
Qin Man nodded: "It's troublesome."
Go halfway. Ji Ran suddenly asked, "Is the back door of the school still there?"
The girl was stunned: "What backdoor?"
"To the back mountain... to the road behind."
"It's still there, but only the teacher can go through that door. We can't go there."
Ji Ran nodded thoughtfully.
Arriving at the small auditorium, the little girl said: "The seats are on the invitation letter, please take the seniors according to the serial number."
Ji Ran's seat is in the third row, and Qin Man is in the first row.
As soon as they reached the front seat, someone came towards them immediately. An elderly middle-aged woman.
"Qin Man, you're here." The woman was relieved to see her proud disciple.
Qin Man called respectfully, "Teacher."
The teacher was about to say something when he saw Ji Ran beside him, his expression changed immediately.
Qin Man was the student she valued most back then. Of course, she had heard about the conflict between the two of them.
Feeling the vigilance and contempt in the other's eyes, Ji Ran snorted and turned into his third row of seats.
Just two steps away, someone stopped him.
"Ji Ran." Qin Man said, "wait for me after the end, don't go by yourself."
"… "
The leaders in the front row couldn't help but turn around and look at them.
Ji Ran pretended not to hear and continued to walk in.
"Classmate." Behind him, Qin Man didn't know who he was asking, "Can we change seats? My seat is in a row."
The teacher was shocked: "Xiaoman? This is the position arranged by the school and cannot be changed."
This man is really strange. Ji Ran thought.
If there is anything that can't be chatted on the mobile phone, the elders like him to be excellent and clean, and he has to do something with himself in front of them.
"You're so annoying." Ji Ran stopped and put on an impatient tone: "Don't sit here... I'll just wait for you."
