After the chestnuts and chocolate milk were delivered, Huo Ran took out a basket of snacks from his cabinet, ranging from melon seed cakes to chicken wings and duck necks, all salty and sweet, then took a small round table with wheels and pushed them to Kou Chen legs.
"Is this your special equipment for snacks?" Kou Chen asked.
"It's not just for snacks," Huo Ran said. "I can also put tools when I repair the car. It's convenient to use and can be pushed around."
"You still repair cars?" Kou Chen lay down on the sofa.
"I'll take care of the simple little problems myself," Huo Ran sat on the carpet in front of the sofa, leaning against the sofa, "take the big problems to the store."
"When will you take me for a ride?" Kou Chen said.
"No." Huo Ran refused quickly and firmly.
"Damn it, why are you so heartless, you thanked me just now," Kou Chen said, "I'm ignoring me now, and you didn't even take me to the end of my apprenticeship on foot."
"It's cold now, and I won't go out until the spring of next year." Huo Ran said.
"Okay, I'm going, let's talk about it first, you take me there, and you tell me in advance what kind of car to buy," Kou Chen said, "I promise not to hold you back."
Huo Ran sighed.
"You don't have enough lung capacity, you always sigh," Kou Chen sat up again, and put his legs on both sides of his shoulders, "I'll give you a massage. Next time you go for a bike ride or something, take me with you."
Before Huo Ran could speak, he started pinching Huo Ran's head: "How is it?"
"... Do you always go for massages?" Huo Ran asked.
Kou Chen grabbed the two grips on his head, making him feel comfortable and closed his eyes in an instant. He didn't know whether he was lacking or Kou Chen's level was simply too high.
"No, I don't like people I don't know touching me," Kou Chen said, "I always give my mother, my sister and them a massage. I have practiced it since I was young."
"Are you so virtuous?" Huo Ran said.
"Shut up," Kou Chen said, "the next blow will crush you."
Huo Ran smiled and said nothing.
Maybe it was because the auntie got a little angry today, and it didn't take long for him to feel his head tilted back uncontrollably. That day, he felt that Wei Chaoren and the others were sleeping on their crotch as if they were insane...
The last memory is that Kou Chen's hand pressed down from under his head to his shoulder.
Comfortable.
However, I couldn't sleep until dawn after such a comfortable sleep, and I suddenly dreamed that I was thrown into the wilderness.
The man who killed him was wearing a mask and had long eyelashes.
After killing him, drag him all the way to find a place to throw his body, interspersed with the judgment of the police, the deceased must know the murderer, you can see that he was smiling before he died...
Huo Ran couldn't help laughing.
He woke up with a smile, opened his eyes and saw his feet for the first time, dragged on the ground unconsciously, while his body was being dragged backwards.
"Fuck me?" He was stunned, raised his head, and saw Kou Chen's chin, "What are you doing?"
"What can I do, it's a bit of a ****, and you haven't arranged a place for me to sleep," Kou Chen dragged him into the bedroom, "How do you treat guests, this is me, my dad is replaced , you've already made your bed all over the house."
"Why did your dad come to my house for the night when you have nothing to do?" Huo Ran said and wanted to stand up, but Kou Chen didn't stop. After he kicked on the ground, he continued to be dragged back.
"I mean if I were my dad..." Kou Chen gave up halfway, "Forget it."
"Your dad gave me a massage," Huo Ran said, "I don't dare to fall asleep at all, okay?"
"Do you dare to let my dad give you a massage!" Kou Chen dragged him to the side of the bed and threw him on the bed, "Have you eaten your diamond?"
"Turn on the light." Huo Ran said while lying on the bed.
"I'm still standing here," Kou Chen said, but he went over to turn on the small table lamp. "Is this the light?"
"Well." Huo Ran rolled over and sat up, "I'll wash my face, you can sleep in my bed."
It was the first time for Kou Chen to sleep with the light on, and he felt a little unaccustomed to it. Fortunately, Huo Ran's small light was supposed to be used for ghost prevention, and the tone was very soft.
He turned to look at Huo Ran, Huo Ran still turned his back to him like he was in the school doctor's office that day.
"Which side do you face when you sleep alone?" Kou Chen asked.
"Come on." Huo Ran said.
"Oh." Kou Chen turned over and looked at the back of his head, "Is it because of your childhood that you are afraid of ghosts?"
"Someone else asked me this, and he was already dead in a second." Huo Ran said.
Kou Chen was a little embarrassed: "I didn't do it on purpose, I just... suddenly wanted to ask, and didn't think much about it."
"I don't know, anyway, since I was a child, I felt that there were ghosts in the little dark room," Huo Ran said, "Maybe, the little house in my grandma's old house, they won't let me in when I can remember."
"Stop talking," Kou Chen leaned over to him and put his hand on his waist, "Go to sleep, I'm behind you."
"You usually sleep with a pillow, right?" Huo Ran asked.
"No, when the pillow appears in my room, my dad must not mock me to death." Kou Chen said.
"It's not necessarily true, don't you still use the giraffe to smell Huahua's bath towel?" Huo Ran said.
"...My dad doesn't use the bathroom in my house, so I can't see it." Kou Chen said, "Why are you asking me this? You can't even take a ride?"
"No, I'm just wondering, where do you get such a habit of sleeping alone, who will take care of you..." Huo Ran suddenly stopped halfway through, "Damn it! Don't talk about it."
"I have two quilts, one to hold and one to hold, and a pillow to hold in summer..." When Kou Chen was halfway through speaking, Huo Ran was already rubbing back on the bed and squeezing on top of him, he was stunned, "What's the matter? ?"
"It's nothing," Huo Ran said, "I have to stick to my back."
"I..." Kou Chen suddenly reacted, and he couldn't help laughing. He put his arms on him, and proudly put his legs on him, "Hey, don't be afraid, Uncle Kou will protect you."
During the two days of smog, the group of seven almost all mixed together. They were at Kou Chen's house the first day, and moved to Huo Ran's house early the next morning.
In fact, there is nothing shameful, except that I occasionally smoke a cigarette, and copying homework is not a problem.
Their homework machine, Xu Zhifan, brought the finished homework in time and threw it on the table: "Let's work."
"Key high schools are just different," Kou Chen said with a displeased stomach. "Even if you copy your homework, you have to hand it in. If you don't hand it in, you will die?"
"This is the last bottom line for us scumbags who are in the focus." Jiang Lei lay on the table and started copying.
"Don't be so modest, you are all admitted to the test anyway, and you are better than our original school when you take the test." Kou Chen sighed and picked out a piece of English paper from Xu Zhifan's homework.
"How did you get in?" Hu Yi asked.
"Pay the money, brother." Kou Chen said.
"Your grades can't be too bad, right? You won't be able to get in unless you pay." Jiang Lei said.
"See how much you paid." Kou Chen hooked the corner of his mouth.
Huo Ran looked at him, and he was able to calmly deal with Kou Chen's all kinds of calm pretending, and he could even see how handsome Kou Chen was.
"Don't be humble," Wei Chaoren said in a very timely manner, as a spokesperson for a critical moment in his brain, "Your grades are better than mine, and I didn't even pay for it."
"Go away," Kou Chen looked at him, "can't copy your homework make you devote a little bit?"
Huo Ran couldn't hold back, fell on the sofa and couldn't stop laughing.
"Shut up." Kou Chen pointed at him.
Huo Ran turned over and continued to smile at the back of the sofa.
"Your uncle." Kou Chen said.
Copying homework is still very fast, and more people copy together, and they can chat, which is much more pleasant than being alone at home.
However, Kou Chen really admired Xu Zhifan. He didn't count all the homework. He was actually reading the book while everyone was copying the homework.
"I usually don't see you in class!" Kou Chen said, "Is he a hidden good student?"
"Listen a little bit," Xu Zhifan said. "As you said, make a surprise before the exam. Did you not know that the mid-term exam is coming soon?"
"Really?" Kou Chen said indifferently, "I'll wait until the final exam is over so I can take a vacation."
Of course he knew that there were still two days of mid-term exams. He wasn't too afraid if the mid-term exam didn't happen, but he was afraid of the final exam. Dad didn't ask about the mid-term exam results, but only focused on the final exam.
If it's too bad, although he won't poke on the railing, he will have to go out and hide for two days. Dad doesn't do much now, but he can't stand it just by scolding.
"Go out to eat or eat at my house?" After everyone's homework was finished, he suddenly took out his mobile phone, "Would you like to try the takeaway hot pot I ordered with Kou Chen yesterday, it's delicious."
"Then let's order takeout. If you are too lazy to go out, you can eat more comfortably at home," Xu Chuan said. "If you drink too much, you can still sleep on the spot."
"Then I ordered it. There are eight-person sets." Huo Ran looked at the phone. "No, I think we need ten people... I don't have ten people. I want two six-person sets..."
Xu Zhifan's cell phone rang, Huo Ran frowned when he saw him taking out his cell phone, then walked into the kitchen and closed the door.
Ever since the neighbor's aunt Hu contacted the family once to ask for money, Huo Ran followed Xu Zhifan to worry about his mother, always afraid that something would happen.
After Huo Ran finished ordering, Xu Zhifan opened the kitchen door and tilted his head at him from inside.
"Huh?" Huo Ran walked to the door.
"My dad's phone," Xu Zhifan whispered, "I have to go back."
"Is there any news?" Huo Ran asked immediately.
"It's not my mother's business," Xu Zhifan said, "other things."
Huo Ran glanced at him, feeling a little unconvinced, but the expression on Xu Zhifan's face was quite calm, he hesitated for a moment: "Then you go back first, and call if you have anything."
"Yeah." Xu Zhifan nodded.
Kou Chen was lying on the sofa, looking at Huo Ran and Xu Zhifan from the gap between Xu Chuan and Hu Yi.
Huo Ran is quite normal, but there is definitely something wrong with Xu Zhifan. It should be that even Huo Ran has concealed it. Only a pseudo-underworld like him who has been baptized in society can see it.
Xu Zhifan told them and left Huo Ran's house.
Kou Chen stretched, walked slowly to the window, and glanced down.
… not this window.
He turned and walked towards the kitchen again, looking down from the kitchen window.
Fuck it, it's not!
He couldn't keep his sassy attitude any longer, so he hurriedly ran across the living room into Huo Ran's bedroom, and then rushed to the balcony.
Right this time.
He quickly opened the window and looked down.
Fortunately, Xu Zhifan had just walked out of the corridor with his mobile phone in his hand and was talking on the phone. He ran up without taking two steps. This speed seemed to be the speed of what happened at home.
"Fuck." Huo Ran's voice came from the side.
Kou Chen turned his head and found that Huo Ran was standing beside him at some point, and was looking down.
"What did he say to you?" Kou Chen asked.
"He said his dad told him to go back, something happened." Huo Ran frowned, "Maybe it's something urgent."
"The privacy you didn't let me see last time was his business, right?" Kou Chen asked.
"He said it wasn't that." Huo Ran hesitated.
"Then why didn't I tell you what happened? Yesterday when he was going back to open the door for his aunt at my house, that was a normal reaction. If it's all right, he would definitely say it," Kou Chen pointed out the window, "I ran away just now. It's like that, just like flying, no matter what it is, it's not a trivial matter, right? There won't be any trouble, right?"
"But..." Huo Ran glanced at him with a tangled face, "Fuck!"
"Go." Kou Chen said, turning around and walking into the house.
"What?" Huo Ran quickly grabbed his arm and suppressed his voice, "Where are you going?"
"Go to his house to see." Kou Chen said.
"What if he doesn't go home?" Huo Ran said.
"What he told you is to go back. Based on my many years of lying experience, if it's an emergency, I usually won't make up a new location. If he wants to hide it, it's the matter itself," Kou Chen said. " He must be going home."
When Kou Chen said that he was about to enter the room again, Huo Ran hugged his arm and dragged him, "Kou Chen, Kou Chen, Kou Chen... Wait a minute."
"I know what you mean. If it's something he doesn't want people to know, we went to see it," Kou Chen said, "it's not very good."
"Yes." Huo Ran nodded.
"What if something goes wrong?" Kou Chen asked, "What if he really needs help?"
Huo Ran opened his mouth.
"People like me do things without thinking about the consequences," Kou Chen said, "I will be like this when I take him as a friend. If it's really because of this that he doesn't treat me as a friend, then just let him be. It doesn't matter."
Huo Ran looked at him and said nothing.
"Give me his address," Kou Chen frowned, "If you think it's inappropriate, I'll go by myself."
"Go." Huo Ran said.
Huo Ran had originally thought that the call that Xu Zhifan answered was a bit wrong, and he had to hide in the kitchen to answer it, but Xu Zhifan didn't want to tell him, so he didn't think much about it.
Kou Chen is indeed different from many of them, whether he is impulsive or unreasonable, whether he likes to play tricks and pretend to be coercive, the few words just now made him suddenly feel a little hot in his eyes, very moved, and faintly distressed. .
If he doesn't treat me as a friend, he can do whatever he wants, and I don't care.
Huo Ran glanced at the back of Kou Chen's head and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
"Why?" Kou Chen turned his head.
"No, just touch it." Huo Ran said.
Kou Chen stared at him twice, probably not understanding why he would want to touch other people's heads at such a time.
But Kou Chen always explained everything perfectly.
"I'm too handsome on the back of my head, can't you hold it back?" he said.
"...Let's go." Huo Ran pushed him.
"What's the matter?" Xu Chuan asked.
"Let's go," Kou Chen didn't explain, "Xu Zhifan may have encountered something, go and have a look."
Jiang Lei and Hu Yi looked at each other, stood up, took their jackets and left. After all, they were more familiar with Xu Zhifan, and they felt a little bit.
Xu Chuan and Wei Chaoren didn't ask much, and they all went out together.
Several people called two cars and went to Xu Zhifan's house together.
On the way, Huo Ran called Xu Zhifan twice, but he didn't answer.
When they got out of the car and ran towards Xu Zhifan's building, Kou Chen confessed: "Let's see what's going on first, don't go straight up, if it's not a dangerous trouble, our group It's not appropriate for people to jump out."
"Well," Xu Chuan said, "if it's not a big deal, don't let him know we've been here."
From the outside, it seemed safe and sound. Xu Zhifan's house was on the fourth floor, with the lights on and the curtains closed, as usual.
"It's probably nothing." Huo Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he got to the first floor, he heard the voice of the neighbor on the first floor talking.
"You ate at my house tonight," the neighbor said. "After eating, let's play cards, and Zhifan will come to pick you up after talking with people in the evening."
"Well, I'm not confused," said Grandma.
This neighbor suddenly knew that Xu Zhifan's grandmother always liked to play mahjong with others at this house.
But today, there are obviously people at home, but my grandma goes to a neighbor's house for dinner...
"You go up first and listen to what's going on," Kou Chen said in a low voice in his ear, "We'll be waiting below, if there's nothing to do, no one fights, and no one makes trouble, then you come down quietly, we're mainly here to carry racked."
"Well." Huo Ran nodded and ran upstairs gently.
It was the first time for him to do such a thing, eavesdropping at the door of his friend's house. Although he was worried about his friend, he was still a little guilty.
But when he turned up the stairs to the fourth floor and looked up suddenly, when he saw a girl about his age standing in front of Xu Zhifan's house, he almost turned around and ran away with a guilty conscience.
But when the two sides were stunned at the same time, Huo Ran suddenly realized that he had seen this girl before, and she was the daughter of the neighbor Aunt Hu.
"Are you looking for Xu Zhifan?" the girl asked, her voice a little cold.
"Ah." Huo Ran responded.
