"I could have gone to watch the girls rehearse, and Chen Ming and the others said there was a role vacant in the skit, so they wanted me to take the role. At least I would have been on stage in junior high school... But you ruined it, and I can only make a useless bulletin board here!"
Cheng Ran glanced at him and said, "Didn't I tell you not to accompany me? You can go too." What to draw? A sunflower? How uncreative...
"Look at this place..." Yu Xiao pointed at the messy dirt and construction site around him, "It's a wasteland, and I can't bear to leave you here alone..."
"Then you draw it and I'll go home." Cheng Ran turned his head.
"Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Yu Xiao was a little crazy on the spot. Who was he doing this for? For whom...
"By the way... Yang Xia is rehearsing, why don't you go to cheer her up or something? This is not like you! Who usually hangs around Yang Xia all day long?" Yu Xiao asked puzzledly.
"Did I?" Cheng Ran thought about it. Although he admitted that he liked Yang Xia very much in middle school, it was too exaggerated to follow her around...
As a result, Yu Xiao simply ignored it and said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, you are about to enter the sprint stage. Hehe, maybe you won't be nervous if you don't see him, so you won't be scared when the time comes."
"By the way, did you see that Yang Xia is the main dancer of Moon Lake? However, in terms of both skill and figure, Yang Xia is also second to none. You are lucky, you have a really good figure..."
Cheng Ran: “…” You are quite out of touch, talking about everything from Hale-Bopp to girls’ figures.
"Who do you think can match Yang Xia's figure among the people we know..." Yu Xiao paused, "Then I'm afraid it can only be... Lao Jiang..."
In the space sealed by building boards, the boy talked about those girls, and felt a different kind of excitement and heartbeat.
Cheng Ran nodded, "Lao Jiang... has a butt and breasts, which is really good, and I'm afraid it will be even better in the future..."
"That's right. Living in the government's red courtyard, she must have a good life and good nutrition, so naturally she has a curvy figure..." Yu Xiao also analyzed from a scientific perspective, and said, "Most importantly, I think she is prettier than Yang Xia... It's a pity that she doesn't dance. If she did, I'm afraid a lot of people in the audience would have nosebleeds!"
"The nosebleed is a bit exaggerated, but the blood is still boiling." Cheng Ran tried to write on the blackboard with chalk.
"Why did Lao Jiang's family give her such a name? Jiang Hongshao, Jiang Hongshao, literally means the same as sweet potato, which is sold everywhere on the street. Roasted sweet potato, roasted sweet potato! It sounds very rustic."
"It's the red peony in the poem 'Today, there are red peonies in front of the steps, some flowers are about to grow old and some are new'." Cheng Ran laughed. This kid would go astray if he wasn't careful. "Isn't there a poem by Yuan Zhen in the Chinese Extended Reading: Cutting red cloud pieces, opening red clouds wrapped, smoke-light glass leaves, wind-light coral flowers... Who planted it for? I appreciate it. I'm sorry for picking it, but why should I give it as a gift? If peony is the queen of flowers, then peony has the reputation of being the best among flowers, and in terms of flower quality, it ranks first among all flowers. Maybe his family doesn't ask her to be elegant and graceful, but she also wants her to be graceful and elegant."
Yu Xiao looked at Cheng Ran in front of him. He indeed found that Cheng Ran had changed. Is this what they call growth? He could only say, "There is no high school entrance exam, so I am too lazy to memorize it!"
At this time, a gentle voice sounded from outside the building board, "Lao Jiang?"
Yu Xiao was scared to death and Cheng Ran was stunned. A face that seemed to have torn through the dimensional wall and awakened the time and space behind the building board appeared from the gap between the cypress tree and the wall. The eyes that many people longed for and wanted to be stayed in for a moment looked around this space curiously. The hair was gently fluttering and the breath brought by the breeze made the soul tremble... Who else could it be but Jiang Hongshao
"Old old old old... Old Jiang!" Yu Xiao was so scared that he stuttered.
Cheng Ran immediately understood that since the other party could call out this nickname, he had been listening to their conversation outside the building board for a long time. The key was at what step did he start to intervene, and whether he listened to what he should and shouldn't have listened to
This is really good. They just peeped at Xie Feibai not long ago, and in the blink of an eye, they got their comeuppance. This woman is a cat...
If this were a moment in a martial arts novel, the author would definitely say something like, "Your Excellency has such outstanding lightness skills and restrained spirit that you were so close to me that I didn't even notice you."
But Yu Xiao was asking for trouble, feeling guilty, "You, when were you outside?"
Jiang Hongshao, who was slim and wearing jeans and a striped shirt, walked in and smiled, "Just arrived, just arrived."
It's obviously perfunctory, okay
"Have you been watching us for a long time?" Cheng Ran stared at the woman suspiciously. Jiang Hongshao was mysterious and might have a great background, so it was not easy to provoke her. In addition, she had excellent insight, so he always felt that being targeted by her was not a good thing.
Jiang Hongshao met his gaze, like a swaying peony, "Yes, look at what bad things you are doing..."
"We are making a bulletin board. We are making a bulletin board... Don't think we can't do good things just because we are in a group..." Seeing Jiang Hongshao's charming eyes, Yu Xiao immediately pointed to the side, "If there is really something bad, he is the one who started it..."
As expected, there was no need to count on Yu Xiao's loyalty at this time. Perhaps he finally got the chance to explain to Jiang Hongshao.
The woman in front of him put her hands in her trouser pockets, not caring whether the wall was clean or not, just leaning against it casually, tilting her head and smiling at the two of them, "Old Jiang, Old Jiang... If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have known that I actually have such a..." She tilted her head, revealing the perfect curve of her cheekbones, as if she was thinking of the right words, "Well, the nickname of 'stable'."
Yu Xiao subconsciously wanted to continue, "You are a calm person..." He was halfway through his sentence when Jiang Hongshao glared at him and pointed his finger to the side, "He called me that first! I got used to it later. I told you not to give people nicknames randomly, but you didn't listen. I feel bad about that..."
Really a good teammate of China.
Cheng Ran pretended to kick, but Yu Xiao immediately dodged to the side like a rabbit.
Jiang Hongshao laughed first.
Seeing her smile, Yu Xiao's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
There was no way, this girl was too unattainable. It could be said that in the world of Cheng Ran and Yu Xiao, she was a beautiful but distant snow mountain. They could see countless people making pilgrimages to her, but they could only stay where they were. When she occasionally came to visit the unit compound like she did to Liu Ying's house, she was always surrounded by stars, and everyone wanted to occupy her time and space around her. How could she be alone with them like this
However, Cheng Ran truly knew that this incident in his previous life had never happened. They and Jiang Hongshao were on two unintersecting paths. They were naturally well-known for Jiang Hongshao, but the former's impression of them was probably limited to picking loquats from her house and having met her before.
The butterfly flapped its wings, and some things changed.
"Okay, okay... I'm not angry." Jiang Hongshao smiled magnanimously, "Do you really mean what others call you? In terms of age, you are a little older than me. If anyone is going to get old, you will get old first. Old Cheng or Old Yu."
How kind... Yu Xiao's eyes blossomed.
"You guys seem to be having fun making bulletin boards. I've never done this before. Can I join in?"
Yu Xiao was about to express her opinion, but Cheng Ran shook his head and said, "It will make you dirty, so girls shouldn't do it."
Yu Xiao twisted his head and looked at Cheng Ran. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? How can you drive away distinguished guests like this? Do you know how many people would love to have this
Jiang Hongshao had already walked over, calm but forceful. She picked up a piece of chalk from the baffle in front of the blackboard and drew a few strokes on the wall. "It's an interesting thing. Would you be discouraged by a little obstacle? When I was painting oil paintings, my whole body was covered with paint... I'm not that squeamish."
The so-called "obstacle" in this sentence, is it getting his body dirty, or is it Cheng Ran's opposition at this time
It was another strong aura that was not obvious. Yu Xiao secretly gave a thumbs up.
Cheng Ran really couldn't do anything about his best friend. Jiang Hongshao's chalk slipped and not much markings were left on the blackboard.
Cheng Ran pointed to the side and said, "A water pipe burst here, and the wall is damp. I can't paint with chalk. It seems that watercolor paint will be needed."
"I have watercolors at home... Friendly sponsorship." Jiang Hongshao smiled, then narrowed her eyes mischievously, looking very provocative, "By the way, if you don't want me to be here so much, are you two really going to do something bad?"
"He just has intermittent brain cramps and is occasionally insane!" Yu Xiao almost jumped up and clapped his hands, "Don't bother with him, we really don't do bad things all day long! Supervision is welcome. Come on, if you have paint, that would be great!"
Cheng Ran shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he couldn't get rid of Lao Jiang. If he continued, he would really make things worse. He said, "Then why don't we draw a picture of Comet Hale-Bopp in the background? It will be more suitable for the scene."
Yu Xiao praised, "Great! This is great! Just paint a large area blue and black! Cheng Ran, you are a genius! Now I wonder what Liu Ming can say!"
"When drawing a person, start with the skeleton; when drawing a scene, start with the outline." Jiang Hongshao smiled, "Let's outline the main layout today."
Then she paused, turned around and asked Cheng Ran, "Where do you want to start?"
Cheng Ran had to admit that it was a pleasant and comfortable thing to get along with her. More importantly, this girl knew how to respect and take care of other people's opinions without embarrassing them. On the other hand, it also showed her self-restraint and intelligence.
This is true, she can dance with calligraphy and painting, play the piano and string instruments, dance with long sleeves, have beautiful eyebrows and a nice look, and she can do it all.
The key point is, it seems that Jiang Hongshao, the girl who seemed distant and unapproachable to others, is so close to them and started a cultural wall newspaper.
I don’t know what Cheng Ran thinks, but Yu Xiao feels that he will never forget this time.
Unable to hold it any longer, Yu Xiao finally went to the toilet, leaving Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao to compose the picture in front of the blackboard. The two of them were sketching one arc after another. The girl was very focused, sometimes standing on tiptoe, and the arc of her inward-drawn abdomen would always attract Cheng Ran's attention consciously or unconsciously.
After finishing the painting, Jiang Hongshao put down the chalk, clapped her hands, turned her head and looked at the serious Cheng Ran, revealing a squinting smile that would make people feel ashamed if they had even the slightest blasphemous thought. But the words she said made Cheng Ran's calm heart suddenly tense up again.
"You didn't want me to stay just now because you were afraid that I would hear something you shouldn't hear... Don't worry, I didn't hear that much. After all, I have a butt and breasts, so I won't bear grudges."
