After saying this, Huo Ran and Xu Zhifan didn't speak any more.
Xu Zhifan probably didn't find anything to say for a while, and this kind of reassurance, whether it was asking questions, pretending that he didn't mind at all, or buddy-style comfort, was inappropriate and seemed fake.
Only silence is the most appropriate, after all, the impact is not small.
Huo Ran didn't think about it so much. Now he's just emptying his mind. He doesn't think about anything, and he can't think about anything. It's as if his brain capacity is only those five words.
During this period of time, all the thoughts that have filled my mind and will surprise me if I am not careful seem to have never existed.
Just that.
Full, empty.
The only thing he said was that he had not completely wandered, only his fingers had been bouncing on the little sapling.
One tap, two tap, three tap...
"I..." After all, Xu Zhifan wasn't the party involved, and he recovered faster than Huo Ran, but he seemed a little helpless. He could shoot seven or eight times on his trouser pocket, and he didn't know what he was going to do.
"Looking for a cigarette?" Huo Ran asked.
"No," Xu Zhifan looked to the side, and not too far away, the teacher passed by with the book in his arms, "I actually almost guessed this before, but I thought you were a little... too sensitive. Well, it wasn't like this when you and Kou Chen were together, but it's different recently."
"Yeah." Huo Ran leaned on the sapling.
Xu Zhifan pulled him away: "It can't hold you."
Huo Ran had to lean against the wall of the old equipment room behind him: "I'm almost suffocated to death."
"Does Kou Chen know?" Xu Zhifan asked.
Huo Ran didn't understand what he said, and he felt a little shivering in shock. He rushed in front of Xu Zhifan: "If you dare to tell him, we will end our friendship!"
"Why should I tell him?" Xu Zhifan looked puzzled.
"...What did you just say?" Huo Ran asked.
"I said does Kou Chen know?" Xu Zhifan said.
"Oh," Huo Ran sighed softly, "how could he know."
"Are you going to tell him or not?" Xu Zhifan asked.
"I don't know," Huo Ran said, "I'm so messed up, I just figured it out myself, what should I tell him?"
"Yeah." Xu Zhifan nodded, "Just think about it first, I won't give you any advice on this matter, and I will support you no matter what."
Huo Ran patted his shoulder.
When I returned to the classroom, the bell had already rang, and the English teacher was already standing on the podium.
Huo Ran trotted back to his position, and when he was about to squeeze past Kou Chen, Kou Chen lay on the table and seemed to be asleep, motionless.
"I'll go in." Huo Ran whispered, grabbing the back of his chair and pushing it.
Kou Chen didn't move at all.
"Kou Chen?" Huo Ran bent down and looked at him.
The man's eyes were open, and he glanced at him.
"Fuck you..." Huo Ran just wanted to curse, and wanted to slap Kou Chen on the back, but the moment he spoke, he suddenly lost his confidence.
I always feel that I have something shameful to hide from Kou Chen.
Afraid of Kou Chen.
Although Kou Chen didn't know it, he suddenly felt guilty.
Just as he was about to move the table behind him and squeeze in, Kou Chen stepped forward to give way, he stepped in quickly, and sat down in his seat.
Kou Chen was still in his previous posture, lying on the table with his eyes open as if he was in a daze.
Huo Ran hesitated for a while, then leaned on the table and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with you?"
"No." Kou Chen muffled his voice.
This attitude made Huo Ran a little panic. Usually, he would definitely scold him, or ignore him at all.
In the end, he chose silence, took the book and opened it, staring down at the book.
After about ten minutes, Kou Chen turned his head to look at him: "Where did you go?"
"Huh?" Huo Ran also glanced at him, "I accompanied Xu Zhifan to the school doctor's office."
"Why?" Kou Chen asked again.
"Let's chat with Tao Rui," Huo Ran said, "I didn't go in."
"Oh." Kou Chen replied, and said nothing.
Huo Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but several of them had added Tao Rui's friends. If Kou Chen didn't believe it, he could just ask it out, and then he wouldn't know how to explain it.
He didn't listen much to this English class, and finally got through to the end of the get out of class. He quickly took out his mobile phone and prepared to send a message to Xu Zhifan for him to make a confession with Tao Rui.
When he touched the screen, he quietly glanced at Kou Chen.
Then froze.
Kou Chen tilted his head and looked at him with his chin in his hand.
"Tao Rui posted on Moments early in the morning," Kou Chen said. "Today she rested and went to a farmhouse with her friends."
Huo Ran felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life.
Kou Chen must be angry, and he is very angry. It should be the kind of anger that is a little wronged.
Usually, he would argue with Huo Ran when he was angry, would argue, and would stare at him, but today he was silent.
Based on what Huo Ran knew about him, this was a sign that he was really angry.
Kou Chen's anger still hadn't subsided, and he didn't talk to Huo Ran until the time they went to the playground between classes.
Of course, anger will not go away. After all, Huo Ran has no explanation, and his anger has nowhere to go. Although Huo Ran can forcefully say that not everything can be shared with friends, Kou Chen obviously feels that there is a relationship between the two of them. This rule does not apply.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhifan caught up from behind and asked in a low voice beside Huo Ran.
"I'm angry," Huo Ran said, "I said we went to the school infirmary..."
"Tao Rui rests today." Xu Zhifan clicked his tongue.
"How do you all know?" Huo Ran was speechless, "I just don't know?"
"I'll go tell him," Xu Zhifan sighed, "Your level of making up nonsense is too low."
"I have nothing to talk about since I was a child. I failed the exam and got punished," Huo Ran said. "My parents don't care. I don't have this opportunity to practice."
"I'll do it," Xu Zhifan said. "On my birthday, please give me a pair of speakers, just the one I said I couldn't afford last time."
"KEF?" Huo Ran glared at him, "More than five thousand, you kill me!"
"You pay one thousand," Xu Zhifan stretched out his hand, "Are you making a deal?"
Huo Ran patted his hand: "What do you want to say?"
"I may not be able to attend your birthday tomorrow," Xu Zhifan said, "I'll ask you to talk about it alone."
"Why can't people know about this?" Huo Ran asked.
"Everyone is in high spirits, and it might not matter if it's someone else, but that's not my style," Xu Zhifan said. "I definitely don't want to affect everyone's mood, and it's still undecided."
"...Can he believe it?" Huo Ran said, "And you specifically asked him to tell him? Isn't that also fake?"
"Are you stupid? I told you that I couldn't go to your birthday because I had an appointment tomorrow. They only have time tomorrow, but they may or may not come," Xu Zhifan said, "then I asked Kou Chen because , I want to ask him where he made the anklet, I want to make a bracelet as a gift."
"Damn?" Huo Ran was a little shocked, "Who? Who is it? Who is it for?"
"Are you Jiang Lei?" Xu Zhifan looked at him.
"Ah!" Huo Ran came back to his senses, "Is your sacrifice a little too big?"
"It's quite big," Xu Zhifan said. "In a while, Kou Chen not only knows that I tried my best to chase people, but later he will know that I was rejected in the end."
Huo Ran was very moved and couldn't help but want to laugh as he watched Xu Zhifan speed up and walk to Kou Chen's side.
Kou Chen and Xu Chuan walked and chatted together. When Xu Zhifan patted him on the shoulder, he was stunned for a while, and seemed a little unhappy, but he still followed Xu Zhifan to the side.
"What are they doing?" Wei Chaoren asked.
"I don't know," Xu Chuan clicked, "Little secret."
"I'll be sentenced for a while!" Jiang Lei said, "What little secret dare to openly discuss it behind our backs!"
"Blatantly and behind our back are contradictory," Hu Yi said. "You're speechless."
"... Can you do it!" Jiang Lei glared at him.
"Are you discussing about Huo Ran's birthday tomorrow, make a surprise or something." Wei Chaoren said.
"Forget it, let's just eat and drink together, what a surprise." Huo Ran twitched the corners of his mouth uneasy.
However, the advantage of many people is that the speed of digression is quite fast. Without three sentences, a few people will soon talk to other places.
I have to say that Xu Zhifan doesn't usually work too hard, but his grades have always been good. Maybe it's because his brain is really easy to use, or at least his acting skills are excellent.
Huo Ran didn't know what he told Kou Chen, but when he returned to the classroom after the class break, Kou Chen had returned to his normal state and dragged Huo Ran to the canteen to buy food.
Huo Ran followed him. Before leaving the main unit, he glanced at Xu Zhifan carefully, but Xu Zhifan didn't even glance this way, and followed a few people to the classroom.
This description went well.
Kou Chen is a cute fool who is easy to deceive.
"I asked Xu Zhifan if he could tell you about this," Kou Chen put his arms around Huo Ran's shoulders with a happy face, "he said yes, that's what I said!"
"What's the matter?" Huo Ran asked.
"Did he tell you that he might not be able to come to your birthday party tomorrow?" Kou Chen laughed until his eyes disappeared.
"Huh?" Huo Ran worked hard to improve his acting skills on the spot, "Did he tell you?"
"He didn't tell you that he wanted to give someone a bracelet, right?" Kou Chen asked with a smile.
"No." Huo Ran shook his head.
"But I told him that it's too much trouble to do it yourself," Kou Chen said. "The time is tight, I'll just ask Lao Yang to help him do it, and Lao Yang will be able to deliver it at noon tomorrow."
Huo Ran smiled.
Kou Chen was a little excited, probably because Xu Zhifan asked him for help and shared a little secret. He kept guessing all the way, what kind of girl Xu Zhifan would like.
Huo Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
This ease is not like any kind of ease.
He could suddenly understand why Lin Wuyu said "maybe I'll never tell you that I like you" on the rooftop that day.
He dared to tell Xu Zhifan, but he dared not let Kou Chen know.
There are too many uncertainties, too many unknowns, and any point can break the balance.
No matter the way he and Kou Chen get along, he is reluctant to destroy them. Even the slightest imbalance may cause him to lose this friend and the inseparable inseparability that makes him feel warm.
"What to eat?" Kou Chen greeted someone at the entrance of the grocery store.
Huo Ran came back to his senses and saw Lin Wuyu holding an ice cream and smiled at them: "It's very boring, eat ice cream to wake up."
For some reason, since Lin Wuyu said those few words to him last time, he felt that Lin Wuyu seemed to see through him, and he always felt that Kou Chen might be able to feel it after a few more encounters.
Suddenly a little nervous.
He glanced at Kou Chen, Kou Chen didn't seem to feel anything, just took his arm off his shoulder and walked into the canteen.
"Do you eat ice cream?" Kou Chen asked, "I didn't want to eat it at first, but when he took one, I suddenly wanted to eat it."
"Is there one with a chocolate shell? Any brand will do." Huo Ran asked.
"Yes," Kou Chen took an ice cream from the freezer and handed it to him, "Isn't your shell a little too cute?"
"It's almost as cute as your wriggling," Huo Ran smiled. "My mother told me that when I was a child, do you eat this chocolate shell?"
While enjoying himself, Kou Chen took a bag, filled it with a bunch of snacks, and handed it to Huo Ran.
When Huo Ran went to checkout with his card, he walked out of the canteen, took a deep breath at the door, and let it out slowly.
The moment he just met Lin Wuyu, he actually had the illusion that he was seen through.
Obviously, after adding Lin Wuyu's friend, he didn't let go of a fart, but somehow, he always felt that the act of adding a friend was suspicious in itself.
I always feel that Lin Wuyu will ask, what did you want to say to me yesterday
Very guilty.
In addition, Lin Wuyu is a scholar, with a high IQ, and his EQ is estimated to be not low.
Gee.
Kou Chen frowned.
I was a little sensitive today. Huo Ran didn't take him to play after class, and then went back to the classroom with Xu Zhifan. It wasn't a big deal. what a feeling.
But it's not very good to put it on Huo Ran, no matter how you think about it.
Just like when he was a child, he gave all his toys to the children in the neighborhood to play with, but the children turned around and played with other friends, feeling very lost.
Later, because he beat the kid, Dad beat him again.
This painful memory gets even more lost every time I look back on it!
… digress from Kou Chen.
He took back his thoughts and turned to see if Huo Ran had come out.
Turning his face, he suddenly stood beside him.
"Hey!" he shouted in fright, "Why are you standing here without making a sound!"
"...I just came out," Huo Ran was also taken aback by him, staring at him, "You can sign up for a vocal class with your voice, even if you don't sing, you can scare the other students out of highF with your voice. ."
"Go." Kou Chen smiled and waved his hand.
In the evening, after the evening self-study, a group of people went to the cafeteria to have a late-night snack, discussed the matter of celebrating Huo Ran's birthday tomorrow, and went back to the dormitory.
After taking a shower, Kou Chen lay on the bed and didn't sleep, and he didn't put his cell phone in his hand.
He wanted to say happy birthday to Huo Ran at 0:00.
And he knew that these birdmen were not sleeping, and he couldn't tell the group of seven not to compete with him for the first place, so he could only stare at the time and pinch.
I originally wanted to talk to Huo Ran in a private chat, but I thought it would be better to post it in the group first, which seemed more natural.
Fortunately, maintaining the character is his forte.
When the second displayed 56, he quickly switched back to the group chat box while reciting 57 and 58, and when he recited 00, he sent out the words he had already typed in the chat box.
-Happy birthday to Huo Ranran, happy every day, never troubled
The time display is 00:00, which is very accurate.
All the pictures and words of the group of seven were not accurate to him, but they all followed closely behind his sentence. If he hadn't pinpointed the time correctly, he would have to let these guys take the lead.
-Aren't you sleeping!
Huo Ran asked, and then posted a picture of a manic laugh.
- Don't talk like you're sleeping, are you waiting with your phone
- If we all slept, you must scold!
- No, Kou Chen must remember
A bunch of people were having fun in the group, Kou Chen opened Huo Ran's private chat and passed a red envelope of 520 yuan.
- happy birthday to Ranran
-For the first time, I saw the red envelopes used for transfer.
- Get it now!
Huo Ran took the money.
- Wouldn't it be enough to send 5 yuan 2
-5 yuan and 2 humiliation, I'm just afraid that you won't accept it if it's too big, or I'll transfer it to 5200
Huo Ran didn't respond, and Kou Chen cut to the group to take a look, and found that he was talking in the group, so he also made a few noises in the group.
- is your memory box there
Huo Ran sent another private chat.
- ah , open
Kou Chen was lying on the bed and made an action of opening the box. Although no one could see it, he still made this action very seriously.
Huo Ran sent a screenshot of the conversation between the two just now.
- put this in
-OK
Kou Chen grabbed the screen and put it in the box.
- put it away
