"Aren't you looking for a route?" Kou Chen continued to turn the phone with a nonchalant expression, "I'm listening."
"Let you see the hotel, did you listen?" Xu Chuan asked with a smile.
"Did you say it?" Kou Chen was stunned, then turned to look at Huo Ran.
"...I'm not listening." Huo Ran turned his head in embarrassment and cleared his throat.
"So pay attention to the influence," Jiang Lei sighed, "When the matter of Zhifan's family is resolved, we will officially send blessings to both of you."
"What the hell." Huo Ran turned around and stared at Jiang Lei.
"There must be a girl between you two," Jiang Lei said. "The most obvious couple in the class is you two."
Kou Chen smiled happily and pointed at Huo Ran: "See, this is my wife."
"Go away!" Huo Ran looked at him.
Kou Chen put away his smile, and was probably a little embarrassed by his stare. He lowered his head and took the phone: "Okay, I'll book a hotel first, what's the standard? If there's no standard, I'll get four stars."
"Big brother," Wei Chaoren gave him a nod, "we are high school students who didn't have the last meal, and the travel expenses have to be approved by the family."
"I paid for it," Kou Chen said, "I haven't even moved the New Year's money from last year. My relatives have made a lot of money, and this year will definitely be a big one."
"I'll go out," Xu Zhifan said, "after all..."
"After all, I mentioned going on a trip," Kou Chen said. "Don't argue with me, I'm the most annoying when others argue with me about money."
Huo Ran looked at him.
Is it
So eloquently spoken.
When will I make up for the money that you ate in the campus card
Kou Chen must have sensed the roar in his heart and turned his head, but he had not yet reached the level of being able to read the content, so Kou Chen just turned his head and smiled at him, and continued to swipe the phone.
Huo Ran lay on the table and listened carefully to several people planning their route.
Divided into three groups, Huo Ran, Kou Chen, Xu Zhifan, Jiang Lei, Hu Yi, Xu Chuan, Wei Chaoren.
Divided into three directions, except the community where Aunt Hu stayed before, and several neighboring communities, sweep them one by one.
"If there is any situation, report it to the group immediately," Xu Zhifan said. "Don't think about handling it yourself, and call the police immediately in case of emergency."
"Don't worry," Kou Chen said.
Huo Ran said that he was going to travel, and both parents agreed. When he asked who he was going with, he kept his contact information as usual. Huo Ran wrote down the contact information of several people.
"Are there any outdoor projects?" Dad asked.
"No," Huo Ran said, "it's a city tour, you don't need to bring equipment, you can travel every day."
"My son hasn't traveled daily for a long time," my mother leaned against him with her arms wrapped around him. "Take some pictures. I haven't been there yet. The south is still green at the moment, but it's beautiful."
"Okay," Huo Ran nodded, "I'll bring you some specialties back."
"Then don't bring it, it's not easy to take," Dad said. "Just play, don't worry about bringing anything."
"Well." Huo Ran smiled.
"You haven't told me yet," Mom shook his arm. "Did your dad cry at the parent-teacher meeting that day? He said that many parents cried, and you kids were crying too much outside. "
"My dad really didn't cry," Huo Ran looked at his dad, "he's still smiling, I don't know whose letter he saw."
"It's very interesting. I guess it's a little girl. She's a cute baby on the surface, but she's actually a wild dragon slayer princess behind her back," Dad said with a smile, "But you, Mr. Yuan, said it should be kept secret, so I can't tell you."
"Okay." Huo Ran didn't ask much.
"What did you write?" Mom asked.
"Confidentiality," Huo Ran said, "I will have the opportunity to tell you later, but I am a little embarrassed to say it now."
"Oh, so cute," the mother squeezed his face, "Why is my son so cute."
"Ah..." Huo Ran broke free from his mother and fled back to his room.
He used to be called cute, except for helplessness, he has no strong emotions, but now no matter who calls him cute, even his mother, Kou Chen's voice will ring in his ears.
"Little cutie!"
Huo Ran always felt that after a semester of tempering, he should be able to accept any state of Kou Chen, but the next morning, when the group of seven gathered at the airport, he still couldn't hold back.
"What's your addiction?" He glared at Kou Chen.
"What's wrong," Kou Chen looked down at himself, then turned to look at himself reflected on the glass next to him, "Isn't it quite professional?"
Huo Ran looked at him in a jacket, quick-drying pants and high-top hiking shoes, and a large outdoor bag with a dust jacket on it. Why don't you take a cane anymore in several communities in this city?"
"You don't need a stick," Kou Chen said.
"...You don't need this, okay?" Huo Ran said.
"I'm happy," Kou Chen smiled, "any opinion?"
"No." Huo Ran sighed.
"Tell me the truth, isn't my body pretty cool?" Kou Chen asked.
"To be honest, yes." Huo Ran nodded.
"Are you handsome?" Kou Chen asked again.
"Handsome." Huo Ran continued to nod his head honestly.
"That's it, cool and handsome," Kou Chen snapped his fingers, "what else can't be done."
A few members of the group of seven who don't usually like to go out and play, when they saw Kou Chen's equipment, they all agreed that they were very cool and handsome.
"That's the team uniform." Wei Chaoren said.
"That's a good idea," Jiang Lei pointed at him, "this time there is no chance, there will still be opportunities in the future, the team uniforms are not playable, we usually have to wear school uniforms, but we can get some group chains, bracelets, shoes, etc. of."
This naive proposal has once again been unanimously approved by everyone.
Huo Ran felt that this was the magic of group travel. From the moment they gathered at the airport, the distance between them was completely gone, although there was basically no distance.
But now it is from standing in a row to a feeling of cuddling.
Huo Ran glanced at Kou Chen, yes, that's how it feels.
A sudden intimacy.
"It is said that the best way to break up with friends is to go on a trip together," Xu Chuan reminded them as he stepped back after passing the security check, "Let's not have a conflict, if we have any thoughts or dissatisfaction, we open it up and say, Don't hold back, it's easy to wilt."
Everyone looked at him together and nodded.
After getting on the plane, Kou Chen naturally squeezed next to Huo Ran. He lifted the armrest in the middle and squeezed people with their buttocks towards him.
"I'm not thin," Huo Ran's raised arm couldn't go down, "can you leave me a little space too?"
Kou Chen rested his head on his shoulder and closed his eyes.
Huo Ran had no choice but to push his head and put his arms down, and then put his head back on his shoulders.
After putting his head down, Kou Chen opened his eyes: "I remembered something."
"Say." Huo Ran said.
"Am I wearing too much?" Kou Chen asked, "It's not winter yet?"
"It's not winter over there," Huo Ran said. "Go to the toilet later and take it off slowly."
"Are you taking off?" Kou Chen asked.
"I just take off my down jacket," Huo Ran said, "it's just a T-shirt inside."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Kou Chen frowned and whispered.
"I thought this was common sense," Huo Ran looked at him and whispered, "Young master from a rich family, don't you even know this?"
"I haven't traveled much." Kou Chen said.
Huo Ran looked at him in surprise.
"When I went to school in my hometown, no one took me on a tour," Kou Chen twitched his finger, "I don't want to go out with my dad after I come here. Every time he tells me where to go, I don't want to go, and then I can't find it. To the right friends, classmates, etc..."
Huo Ran patted his leg in comfort.
"You don't want to take me anywhere." Kou Chen said.
"...You're just waiting here, aren't you?" Huo Ran glared at him.
"Yeah," Kou Chen said, "how do you answer."
"I'll take you with me." Huo Ran said.
"You're too soft-hearted, Huo Ran," Kou Chen laughed, "it's easy to suffer."
"Really, are you hard?" Huo Ran narrowed his eyes.
Kou Chen looked at him: "You can say something anytime, anywhere?"
Huo Ran cleared his throat, turned his head, and stared at the clouds outside.
Cities that have never been in winter are different. Jiang Lei felt it when he got off the plane: "I'm not out of tune, right? Is the air conditioner on?"
"Yes." Xu Zhifan said.
"Fuck it, it's cool." Wei Chaoren quickly took off his coat and stuffed it into his bag.
Because Kou Chen was too heavily armed, he had to go to the toilet.
"Aren't you going?" Jiang Lei looked at Huo Ran.
"I don't want to go to the toilet." Huo Ran said.
"Aren't you going to take off his clothes?" Jiang Lei said.
Huo Ran looked at him: "Leilei?"
"Aren't you going to help him get some clothes or something?" Jiang Lei said, "He has to take off his pants..."
Hu Yi laughed beside him: "You forgive Huo Ran."
"You just..." Huo Ran pointed to Jiang Lei before he finished speaking, the phone rang, he took it out and took a look, and found that Kou Chen had sent him a message.
"Fuck, come in and help me get my clothes. The grid is full, and the table is full of water."
Huo Ran had to grit his teeth and go to the toilet.
It seemed that Kou Chen's previous outfit was all about being handsome and having fun. The other clothes in his bag had nothing to do with the outdoors. Huo Ran admired his neurotic spirit.
"Put it in for me, Ran Ran." Kou Chen finished changing his clothes and ripped open his backpack to carry it.
Huo Ran folded his clothes into rolls and put them into the bag one by one: "Why are your clothes so fragrant?"
"You just smelled it?" Kou Chen said, "When I went out in the morning, my sister sprayed me with the perfume she bought for Lao Yang, so I could smell it."
"...It smells good." Huo Ran said.
"Then let her bring you a bottle." Kou Chen said.
"No no no no no," Huo Ran was taken aback, "I just provide a reference, I don't spray that stuff."
"It's your birthday soon, how long?" Kou Chen said.
"I don't want a bracelet." Huo Ran said.
"Oh shit, I see, I didn't say I wanted to give you a bracelet." Kou Chen said.
"When is your birthday?" Huo Ran asked as he walked out of the toilet.
"I will tell you a month in advance, and I will give you enough time to prepare gifts." Kou Chen raised his eyebrows.
A few people didn't stay too long when they got to the hotel. After putting things in their respective rooms, they gathered together in Xu Zhifan's room.
"Go here first, it should be pretty close by taking a taxi," Xu Zhifan bought a map at the front desk and spread it on the bed, "Three neighborhoods, scan them at the same time first."
"Let's go." Kou Chen took out his mobile phone and started calling a car.
"Do you want to bring anything for self-defense?" Hu Yi asked.
"Do you want to buy a fruit knife?" Kou Chen said, "I saw a supermarket next to me when I first came here."
"Farewell," Xu Chuan said, "If there is any conflict, we can't tell if we have knives on our bodies. Don't make trouble."
"Just looking for someone to see if I can determine the location," Xu Zhifan said, "Don't conflict with people, definitely, don't make me feel guilty."
"Okay." Kou Chen clicked his tongue.
The seven people got into the car separately. At first, several cars followed one another. When they were about to reach the place, three roads diverged. The gates of the communities they located were not in the same direction.
When Kou Chen and Huo Ran got out of the car, they took a photo of the gate of the community and posted it to the group together with their location.
This community is very big and looks good, but it is like an empty community, there is no one at the gate, and the street is quite deserted.
When the two of them walked inside, Kou Chen reminded in a low voice, "If the security guard asks, he will say that we came to see the house and made an appointment with the agent."
"Yeah." Huo Ran responded, feeling a little nervous for no reason.
But the security guard didn't make a sound, just sat in the booth on duty and watched them walk in.
"Damn, if I were the owner, I would fucking complain," Kou Chen said, "Do you actually let strangers come in and out like that?"
"There aren't many households in this community at all, right?" Huo Ran looked at the buildings next to it. Each building looked like there were only seven or eight households occupied. Many windows were obviously empty without even curtains.
"It's just like what others wrote," Kou Chen said in a low voice, "In a high-end community, rent a house and it's well decorated. People who don't know think life is going well, but in fact, if you can't cheat the money, rent a house. Can't make it."
"Look at the photos that Xu Zhifan posted in the group before," Huo Ran said, "to see if there are any that match this community."
"Well," Kou Chen found out the photos, which were sent by Li Ling to Xu Zhifan, and also by his mother in the circle of friends before, "I can almost remember them, you can take a look."
Huo Ran grabbed Kou Chen's hand, stared at the photos one by one and looked at them again: "Okay, I remember."
"Are you a little nervous?" Kou Chen asked.
"Why are you so sharp all of a sudden?" Huo Ran smiled. He was indeed a little nervous. He had never done anything like this before, and he didn't know what kind of situation he would encounter. After all, he was a good boy since he was a child. Boy, it is impossible to say not to be nervous.
"The fingers are cold." Kou Chen squeezed the tip of his index finger, "It's so hot, I'm sweating, you look like you just came out of the cold storage."
"I'm a little nervous," Huo Ran rubbed his hands, "and a little scared."
"I'm afraid of farts, I'm here," Kou Chen said. "Ordinary hooligans with knives, I'm not afraid of five or less."
"Let's run if we have something to do," Huo Ran hurriedly pointed at him, "Don't be impulsive."
"Are you going to inherit Xu Zhifan's father Xu's title?" Kou Chen frowned and said, "You can't trust me like that."
"It's not that I can't trust you," Huo Ran said. "If you were alone, you might have run away. With friends by your side, you must insist on carrying out your 'I'm here' to the end."
"You know me too well." Kou Chen laughed happily, took his hand and rubbed his hand a few times, "Don't worry, I will definitely control it and not cause trouble for Xu Zhifan, after all It's helping him."
After walking along the empty road in the community for a while, a few people appeared sporadically, and a car drove past.
Kou Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The people and cars he saw were quite normal, which made this community without any fireworks seem much safer.
Huo Ran just said he was nervous, but in fact he was nervous himself, but Huo Ran had already said it first, so he couldn't say it anymore. Anyway, the two young men can't be nervous at all.
"I looked at the fountain in front of me and looked a little familiar," Huo Ran suddenly pulled his arm. "Is that stone stool next to the pool... in the photo? It's Xu Zhifan's mother's penultimate circle of friends!"
"Let's see." Kou Chen was excited for a while. After he took out his phone, he felt that the excitement was more nervous, and his hands were shaking a little.
As soon as the photo was turned out, the two of them had already walked to the side of the fountain, and then suddenly stopped suddenly, without making a sound, just pressed his elbows against his waist.
Kou Chen raised his head and was stunned.
There is a small stone corridor behind the fountain, and there are more than a dozen people sitting or standing in the pavilion at the other end.
All looked at them.
At this moment, Kou Chen was almost certain that these people were members of the brainwashing group, and they were having a fucking meeting!
Before he could think about what to do, he suddenly felt Huo Ran's arms shaking.
I fuck
He glanced at Huo Ran and was very shocked. A dignified school basketball captain, the hot little Shiba Inu who usually had to be pulled by a friend to avoid fighting with others, was actually scared like this
He didn't care about anything else, he first hugged Huo Ran, and then shook it twice so that the people on the opposite side could see it.
In the pavilion, a man who looked very elegant, but his eyes were definitely not elegant and still very vigilant stood up, and it seemed that he was about to ask questions.
Kou Chen didn't think about it any more, he just wanted to leave here immediately, and he didn't know why he was so clever, he turned his head in Huo Ran's ear, just so that the other party could hear him say: "Let's go, I'll just say it here. Someone, go to a place where no one is there."
