After the birthday wishes, according to the normal procedure, everyone chatted a few more times in the group, and then went to bed separately.
Kou Chen didn't send any more messages to Huo Ran.
Just stared at the chat log and read it several times. In fact, it was only a few lines, and it could be cleared at a glance, but it took him two minutes before he put down the phone and went to sleep.
It's a good day, I didn't sleep until midnight.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Everyone gets up very early in the morning. There is a new tradition in their class. Birthdays treat guests to breakfast, and birthdays and class fees each pay half the cost.
Huo Ran has already invited several classmates before. The price is moderate early, and everyone can be lively and lively to deepen their relationship.
For this breakfast, the whole class will go to the cafeteria on time.
Kou Chen was the first to finish washing up, opened the door and kicked the door of the opposite dormitory: "Are you up!"
"Do you pay if the door is broken?" Hu Yi opened the door.
"Ah, didn't you pay for the bed last time?" Kou Chen said with a smile.
"Accompanying the bed? Who is the bed for?" Jiang Lei walked out of the toilet wrapped in a mouthful of toothpaste and asked in confusion.
"Huo Ran." Hu Yi said.
"Are you going to bed with Huo Ran?" Jiang Lei was stunned, "Kou Chen, are you going to bed with Huo Ran?"
"Compensate for the bed board!" Xu Zhifan put on his clothes and walked over, "The bed that collapsed last time!"
"...Oh." Jiang Lei went back to the toilet while laughing, coughing in it for a long time.
"Swallow toothpaste!" Kou Chen said.
He didn't listen to what Jiang Lei said, and walked directly to Huo Ran's bedside, Huo Ran was holding up his mobile phone and standing at the window, circling around to find an angle to take a selfie.
"It's different when you're an adult?" Kou Chen looked at him, "Wake up early in the morning to take a selfie?"
"My mother!" Huo Ran continued to circle around impatiently, "Every time I have a birthday, she sends me a photo to the circle of friends, ah, it's my baby son's birthday, he's grown up, handsome and cute!"
Kou Chen leaned against the bed and had a good time.
"Every time the photos I send are secretly taken by her mobile phone, it's very ugly. Once, a high school classmate of hers replied to her, this guy was okay, and he couldn't be angry with her," Huo Ran said, "I'm also very angry. "
"That was obviously intentional." Xu Zhifan said.
"That's why I wanted to send her a selfie this time," Huo Ran stopped circling and threw the phone on the bed. "My fucking photos aren't as good as my mom's sneak shots."
"I'm coming." Kou Chen took his phone, "I've been photographing Shuaishuai for many years, and I'm quite experienced."
Huo Ran looked at him.
Kou Chen handed the phone to him: "Unlock it."
Huo Ran looked at him.
Kou Chen reacted and smiled: "I mean I take a lot of photos, and when I take pictures of handsome, I think he is a person..."
"Come on, don't talk about it," Huo Ran unlocked, "It doesn't sound like anything."
Kou Chen turned on the camera and pointed at him: "Just smile, no need to pose."
Huo Ran leaned against the window and smiled at the camera.
Kou Chen pressed the shutter and returned the phone to him: "That's it, your level is enough to take a picture of your own hand."
Huo Ran took a look at the phone, and he was actually quite handsome.
No, he actually shot him handsome.
"How do you feel when you are eighteen?" Kou Chen asked.
"No." Huo Ran replied with a smile and sent the photo to his mother.
"Can I go!" Kou Chen urged, "There will be a lot of people in a while. This is not someone else. It's Huo Ran's birthday. If you go late, you must stand and eat."
"Let's go," Jiang Lei waved, "Let's go!"
A group of people came out of the dormitory and walked arrogantly to the cafeteria.
There were already a lot of people in the cafeteria, basically all of them were from their class, so they came to occupy a seat.
As soon as they were in the dining hall, they heard a shout: "The birthday star is here!"
"Happy birthday Huo Ran!"
"Happy birthday!"
Wu Xiaochen beckoned and pointed to a table full of gifts: "Happy birthday Huo Ran! The birthday star sits there, it's all gifts from everyone, the big red box is from Lao Yuan and the class committee."
"Thank you, everyone," Huo Ran hurriedly bowed and bowed to everyone, "Thank you, thank you..."
"Fortunately, I came prepared," Wei Chaoren whispered, "so many gifts."
"What?" Kou Chen looked at him, "You still want to grab it?"
"Am I that kind of person!" Wei Chaoren took out a few folded reusable bags from his bag, "I'm sure Huo Ran's birthday must have a lot of gifts, so I took a few pockets."
"Damn," Huo Ran laughed, "Thank you!"
"Why don't you stop thanking him!" Xu Chuan patted him, "We'll give you something later, don't say thank you again!"
"I won't thank you, it's what you should do." Huo Ran nodded.
After a while, everyone sat down slowly and started to eat "birthday breakfast".
The group of seven cleaned up the gifts on the table. Many students in the class gave gifts, and a few people gave them together. The large and small boxes were filled with several environmental protection bags.
"Come on," Xu Zhifan patted the table, "it's our turn now, Kou Chen, do you have any additional gifts?"
Several people knew that the tape measure on Huo Ran's feet was a birthday present from Kou Chen.
"Of course there is," Kou Chen smiled and took out a small leather pocket, "It's still a bit of a ritual on my birthday."
"Also?" Huo Ran was stunned.
"It's a gadget, originally this pocket was for a tape measure," Kou Chen put the pocket in front of him, "Happy birthday."
"Happy." Huo Ran took the small leather pocket with a smile, hesitated for a moment, didn't open it, and put it directly in his pocket.
The things that several people gave took a little thought, and they were much better than the gifts they bought at the night market when they were licking the sea.
Xu Zhifan gave a helmet, Xu Chuan gave a very cool wireless charger, Jiang Lei, Wei Chaoren and Hu Yi bought a pair of very awesome cycling polarizers together.
"Although this is what you should give," Huo Ran cleared his throat and held a bunch of gifts, "I won't say thank you, but I'm really touched."
"It's okay to be moved," Xu Zhifan said. "We have enough food for us tonight."
"Kou Chen is in charge of ordering," Huo Ran said. "He is more experienced."
"Leave it to me." Kou Chen snapped his fingers.
The disadvantage of having a birthday on Tuesday is that you have to go back to the dormitory at night, you can't play too late, and you can't let go of drinking. After all, you have to get up early for class the next day.
However, as long as they can run out of school and have a meal, none of this can affect their mood.
Before the last self-study class in the afternoon was over, Huo Ran's cell phone kept vibrating, all from the group of seven chatting in the group.
Probably not enough to go to the amusement park that day, everyone was very interested in the party at night.
However, Xu Zhifan is still very stable. While discussing excitedly with everyone, he has not forgotten to finish the sequel to yesterday's play.
"Fuck," Kou Chen said in a low voice with his forehead on the table, looking down at the phone, "Did Zhifan tell you?"
"What?" Huo Ran leaned on the table and asked in a low voice, "I didn't check my phone."
"His appointment failed," Kou Chen suppressed his voice, "The bracelet that Lao Yang brought at noon didn't give away."
"Ah?" Huo Ran looked surprised. In order to complete the trick, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to pretend to take a look, but he was a little afraid of revealing his secrets.
What he didn't expect was that Xu Zhifan was very meticulous. He opened his phone and saw a message from Xu Zhifan in the message bar.
-fail
"Really failed?" Huo Ran said.
"Did you tell me?" Kou Chen leaned over and took a look, "Who are you talking about this appointment, Xu Zhifan needs to have a good appearance, a brain, and a good personality, yet there are people who don't look down on him? Crazy? !"
"I don't know, maybe..." Huo Ran almost blurted out that maybe other girls like girls.
"What?" Kou Chen looked at him, "What's your inside story?"
"...No," Huo Ran hurriedly thought about the words, "Maybe the way of expressing is wrong, too blunt?"
"I can't, Xu Zhifan's emotional intelligence," Kou Chen thought for a while, "it's possible to change your words, but his words should be the girl's madness."
Huo Ran glanced at him and said nothing.
Fortunately, I don't confess, or I will scare you to death.
Kou Chen turned back and continued to look at the phone, Huo Ran's reaction made him a little uneasy.
Usually he would say this, Huo Ran definitely had something to say to him, but today he was silent.
silent.
… have you been told!
fuck!
Kou Chen suddenly turned his head and stared at Huo Ran.
Huo Ran was taking the small leather pocket and wanted to open it. He turned his head and shocked Huo Ran. He held the leather pocket for a while before opening his mouth: "What's wrong? Can't see it?"
"No," Kou Chen said, "Didn't you watch it before?"
"No," Huo Ran said, "I felt a chocolate inside..."
"I don't want to open it when I touch only a chocolate, right!" Kou Chen decided to preempt it.
"You don't need to open the chocolate to take a look." Huo Ran said.
"Then why are you opening it now?" Kou Chen glared at him.
"I want to eat now..." Huo Ran said.
This answer was impeccable, Kou Chen nodded after a long time: "Eat it."
After Kou Chen lay down on the table again, Huo Ran opened the small leather pocket.
His movements were very light and very small. For some reason, it was just an accessory for a birthday present. It was normal to open it to see, but he didn't particularly want to disturb Kou Chen.
Even though Kou Chen clearly knew that he was opening the leather pocket, he was still very careful, as if Kou Chen could turn his head and see what was wrong with him.
There is indeed a chocolate in it.
However, it was different from what Kou Chen usually gave him, and it was wrapped in a layer of colored paper, like the kind of colored paper that children use on their birthdays.
Huo Ran opened the paper and found that there were words on it.
Wow I was eaten by an eighteen year old brother.
Depend on.
Huo Ran was stunned, and suddenly his nose was a little sore, but in fact he wanted to laugh.
Kou Chen was still lying on the table playing with his mobile phone, he quickly folded the paper and put it in his pocket.
Then he peeled the chocolate and bit into his mouth.
There were more small surprises in the leather pocket than he had imagined. In addition to the chocolate for writing, there was also a small card folded in half.
He opened the card, which also wrote.
Happy birthday.
The simple four characters were drawn in many circles with colored pencils, and the small cards were almost filled layer by layer.
Huo Ran felt that Kou Chen should have never given birthday gifts to anyone since elementary school. He wrote and wrote a card himself. This card looks like the work of elementary school students.
Childish and complex, repeating lines and never-repeating colors.
Who would have thought that Kou Chen, who insisted on the character of the school tyrant and cool brother, would give such a birthday card behind his back.
Huo Ran smiled and put the small card back in his leather pocket.
"Hey," Kou Chen touched his leg next to him, "Huo Ran."
"Huh?" Huo Ran tilted his head and put the leather pocket in his pocket.
"Are you..." Kou Chen whispered like a mosquito yawning, "are you..."
Huo Ran raised his ears alertly.
"Forget it." Kou Chen clicked his tongue.
Huo Ran stared at him and quickly guessed, what Kou Chen wanted to ask, was it something, did he like men? Is it the same? do you like me
The series of things that appeared in his mind were all these, and he himself was so angry that he wanted to laugh.
As for
so nervous.
"What are you talking about!" Huo Ran quickly adjusted his attitude and gave his usual reaction.
"You've been a little weird these days," Kou Chen frowned, "Do you... have a goal?"
"What goal?" Huo Ran felt a little numb when he was startled, and being able to say such a rhetorical question was an extraordinary performance, and now he had a strong urge to call Xu Zhifan for help.
"Have you taken your fancy to any girl?" Kou Chen said, "I always think you're weird, but I can't tell you what's wrong... Am I being too sensitive?"
Huo Ran was at war between heaven and man, and he didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or to be nervous.
Kou Chen guessed that it was a girl, he could breathe a sigh of relief, but Kou Chen felt that it was indeed so sensitive that he had to be nervous.
For a moment, he really wanted to recognize this sentence.
But he didn't dare.
This was in the classroom, and he didn't even dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
"I really like a girl," Huo Ran said, "I must tell you, you are not the master of confession, I have to ask you for help."
"Okay!" Kou Chen pointed at him.
"Yeah." Huo Ran nodded.
Kou Chen didn't ask any more questions, feeling that he was a little too hypocritical, like a girl who was pregnant with spring.
tsk tsk.
Simply invisible.
In a few minutes after class, he took his mobile phone, turned to lean on Huo Ran, and gave instructions in the group.
Whether it was true or not, he felt at ease when he said no.
- As soon as the bell rang, I called for a car. Brother Chuan also called for one. It was estimated that the car arrived at the school gate.
Several people in the group responded.
- When will the cake be delivered
- 7:30, time is fine
As soon as the bell rang, Kou Chen jumped up, grabbed Huo Ran back and walked out.
The group of seven all jumped up and ran out of the classroom at the head of the class.
Everyone is very naive, everyone knows that a few of them are going out to eat, and now they have to make a fuss, just like they are afraid that others will not know how hard we are, and we have small activities in private.
Full of pride.
But they ran too fast and stopped at the school gate, the car still stuck at the traffic light two kilometers away.
"Bring some barbecue to the rest of the class when you come back in the evening," Xu Zhifan said, "Don't make it look like we are stealing food."
"Well," Xu Chuan nodded, "call Wu Xiaochen before you come back and ask her to come out and get the girl's share."
"Can I bring a small portion for Lu Huan alone?" Jiang Lei looked at Kou Chen, "Is it suitable?"
"Please bring a small portion to each of the girls in her dormitory," Kou Chen said. "You must have a mass base for chasing people, and you must have public opinion to understand."
"Understood, one share per person." Jiang Lei nodded.
"Let's say it was Huo Ran's birthday invitation," Kou Chen added, "it's not easy for her to refuse."
"Okay." Jiang Lei gave him a thumbs up, "Although you are an empty talker, it turns out that your theory still works."
"Shut up." Kou Chen glared at him.
These words made Kou Chen very embarrassed.
Still a little depressing.
Who the fuck is talking about it!
Is this not practice
Know the shit!
Kou Chen turned his face away and stared at the few people under the tree two meters away.
After staring for a while, someone over there waved his hand at him.
Only then did he suddenly regain his senses, and found that he was staring at Lin Wuyu and his classmates grimly.
"Daze?" Lin Wuyu smiled, "I thought you declared war."
"No no no no." Kou Chen quickly shook his head.
"Is it Huo Ran's birthday?" Lin Wuyu asked, "This morning all the people in the cafeteria are from your class."
"Ah, yes." Huo Ran nodded.
"Happy birthday." Lin Wuyu said.
"School God, let's go to dinner with us!" Wei Chaoren greeted with an overly enthusiastic greeting.
"No, we have an appointment." Lin Wuyu pointed to the classmates next to him.
"Oh!" Wei Chaoren responded.
"Are you stupid?" Xu Chuan couldn't help asking him.
"...Maybe." Wei Chaoren faced the doubts for the first time.
"Let's go," Lin Wuyu waved at them, "Have fun."
Everyone waved together.
Kou Chen also waved his hand. He has been a little overly sensitive recently, especially when facing Lin Wuyu, who is known to be out of the closet, he always has the illusion that a shady secret is about to be exposed.
He even felt that Lin Wuyu gave him a special look when he said that last sentence.
Quite a thoughtful look.
Did he take the wrong medicine? I don't know, because he has a crush on Lin Wuyu.
He turned around, hugged Huo Ran, put his face on his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "Ran Ran."
"Huh?" Huo Ran tilted his head.
"It's alright," Kou Chen said, "Just call me and see if you're there."
"Seventeen-year-old Huo Ran is not here, eighteen-year-old Huo Ran is here." Huo Ran smiled.
"Eighteen is amazing." Kou Chen looked up at him.
"Aren't you convinced?" Huo Ran raised his eyebrows, "Little brat."
Kou Chen clicked his tongue.
Huo Ran's expression was smug and cute, and he had to click his tongue quickly to prevent him from suddenly slurping MUA on Huo Ran's face.
Although there are not many MUAs.
