The national finals kicked off hotly this summer.
After two months of hard preparation, in mid-July, Huo Yan will go to City B TV station to participate in the competition.
The news that the little daughter was about to appear on TV made the Huo family's parents overjoyed. They happily called their relatives and asked them to watch the TV show when the time came.
In fact, it was not necessary at all, because the ratings of the TV program "Brainstorm" were extremely high. Needless to say, the news of Huo Yan's appearance on TV would definitely spread all over the city.
The parents' phone call was just a matter of vanity. Huo Yan said that he would be eliminated after a short time, so he told them not to talk about it anymore.
Huo Sinuan said sourly: "Even if you still have a little self-knowledge, if I were you, I would probably be embarrassed to go to the TV station to embarrass myself."
Huo Yan said "Oh", and said lightly: "My sister really wants to be on the TV station, but I heard that she was eliminated in the preliminary round."
"What are you proud of!" Huo Sinuan stood up and exclaimed angrily, "I was going to participate in a dance competition, and I didn't have time to prepare for this stupid competition."
Huo Yan originally didn't want to conflict with Huo Sinuan, but he didn't want to always be bullied as dumb.
"Sister, you didn't participate in "Brainstorm" because you saw me sign up, did you?"
Huo Sinuan's face was extremely ugly, and he snorted coldly: "How is it possible, I was just playing around."
"Just for fun." Huo Yan nodded: "So in the dance competition, you lost to Luo Yinan in our dormitory. Is this just for fun?"
"Huo Yan! Don't bully people too much!"
Huo Yan stood up and looked at her steadfastly: "Huo Sinuan, who is bullying so much?"
"The two sisters are doing well, why are they arguing?" The mother came out of the kitchen and wiped her wet hands: "Stop arguing, Nuan Nuan, you really are, you won a prize in a competition before, and Yan Yan is not I am really happy for you, why is it Yanyan's turn, you are full of sarcastic remarks."
Huo Sinuan said aggrievedly: "Mom, what's wrong with you now, you always speak for her."
"You are all my daughters, and I'm not helping my relatives."
With red eyes, Huo Sinuan got up angrily and went back to the room.
"Hey, it's time to eat, what are you doing?"
"I won't eat!"
She slammed the door shut.
The mother said helplessly: "Your sister has become more and more angry recently. She was not like this before."
Huo Yan picked up his chopsticks to eat without saying a word.
Jealousy makes people ugly. The gentle, kind and generous Huo Sinuan in the past only existed in the quiet years when no one competed with her. Now there is a sudden turmoil, how can she still sit still.
Huo Yan doesn't seem to have pushed her sister to this point, but she has done everything on her own, and has nothing to do with others.
Today, my mother took out her housekeeping skills and cooked a large table of delicious meals as Huo Yan's practice banquet. Without Huo Sinuan making faces on the table, the family was surprisingly harmonious.
In the afternoon, his father drove Huo Yan to the high-speed rail station, and took the high-speed rail to B City TV station to participate in the competition.
Originally, he wanted to ask for leave to accompany Huo Yan to City B. After all, this girl had never traveled far since she was a child. However, the leaders of the unit refused to approve the leave, so Huo Yan insisted that she could go there alone.
Before getting in the car, her father told her to be careful all the way, not to talk to strangers, let alone trust others easily.
Huo Yan said helplessly: "Now that I know Dad, I am not a child anymore, I will take care of myself."
"Hey, you have been a reassuring good boy since you were a child." The father was full of guilt: "You are outstanding, and your parents are proud of you."
"Dad, I'll get in the car first, and wait for my good news."
His father watched her leaving back with worry in his eyes.
Huo Yan passed through the ticket gate and got on the train. Not two minutes after sitting down, two familiar figures got into the car.
It turned out to be Su Wan and Lin Chuyu.
Su Wan held her white skirt and looked around with disgust: "Hey, why is it a second-class seat? Didn't I let you buy business class?"
Lin Chuyu smiled and said, "Miss, if you want to take the business seat, then we have to separate. Are you willing to separate from me?"
"Then I'm really willing." Su Wan waved his hand: "Forget it, luckily it's only an hour's drive, not too far away."
Huo Yan quickly stood up and said in surprise, "Why are you here!"
"Hey, Huo Yan, what a coincidence that you are going to City B!" Su Wan pretended to be pleasantly surprised.
"I'm going to participate in the competition, don't you guys know that?" Huo Yan asked hesitantly, "You guys... don't you want to accompany me..."
"What are you thinking? If you don't reimburse the fare and board and lodging, why should we accompany you?" Su Wan sat diagonally in front of Huo Yan: "We're just traveling, don't think too much."
"Really?"
Su Wan took out her mobile phone and started searching: "I heard that the fried noodles in City B are very delicious."
Lin Chuyu said: "There are also a lot of handsome guys in City B."
"Ok, Ok."
"Hey hey."
The two chatted on their own, and ignored Huo Yan.
Huo Yan lifted the suitcase with difficulty, and wanted to put it on the luggage rack, but suddenly felt a lightness in his arm, and the luggage was picked up by someone with one hand, and landed on the luggage rack with ease.
In the eyes, there is a section of white skin, with a few blue meridians spreading in the delicate lower layer of the skin.
What a beautiful hand!
Huo Yan turned around, and suddenly found that the man standing behind her was Fu Shihan.
He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with two buttons slightly open at the neckline, exposing his slender and beautiful neck.
He smiled at her, the sun was shining on his face through the car window, those dark brown eyes seemed to be plated with a thin layer of gold, which was extremely beautiful.
And beside him stood Shen Yuran with big bags and small bags.
Huo Yan was full of surprise: "You guys...could you also travel to City B?"
Diagonally opposite, Su Guan and Lin Chuyu were lying on the armchairs, casting gossiping glances at them.
Fu Shihan smiled faintly: "Your uncle and aunt are worried, let me accompany you to the competition."
Huo Yan couldn't believe it: "Hey, my parents didn't tell me."
After Fu Shihan put away his luggage, he sat beside her and rubbed her little head: "Idiot, your uncle and aunt, of course they are my parents."
It was only then that Huo Yan suddenly realized, and he was a little embarrassed: "Then... thank you uncle and aunt for me."
Fu Shihan snorted softly: "I am the one who accompanied you, thank them for what they did."
There was a blush on Huo Yan's face, she paused for a long time, and then whispered to him: "Thank you."
"Are the mosquitos calling, can't you hear them?"
Huo Yan approached him: "Thank you, Brother Han."
Fu Shihan raised his eyebrows: "I still can't hear you."
So Huo Yan put his hand on his shoulder, approached his ear, and said word by word: "Thank you."
Fu Shihan inadvertently turned his head slightly, and her cold lips brushed against his earlobe.
In an instant, someone's earlobe turned red.
A more turbulent and deep-seated emotion squeezed the heart, scrambling to overflow, and transmitted to the limbs through the cells and nerves. His whole body was filled with this numb feeling like an electric shock.
The little girl didn't notice the unnatural expression on Fu Shihan's face at the moment, she pointed to Shen Yuran and asked, "Why did he follow here?"
Fu Shihan raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Yuran: "Yes, I will accompany my sister, what are you doing here?"
Shen Yuran immediately raised her hand and said, "Xiao Yan'er is participating in the competition, of course I'm here to cheer her on."
Lin Chuyu, who was peeping, whispered to Su Wan, "Are all boys so honest these days?"
Su Wan didn't answer her, but asked Shen Yuran excitedly: "Where is my brother monk, why didn't he come?"
"Your monk brother went out to work part-time during the summer vacation, but he is busy."
"Oh." Su Wan curled her lips: "Before I knew it, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Shen Yuran laughed and said, "It's rare that girls miss that hairless iron cock."
Su Guan said fiercely: "Hey, don't speak ill of my monk brother."
"All right, all right, my fault." After sitting down, Shen Yuran took out her mobile phone and opened the WeChat video: "Second brother, someone misses you, do you want to meet?"
Xu Mingyi's characteristic absent-minded tone came from the phone: "I'm busy, what are you doing?"
Shen Yuran gave Su Wan a wink, and Su Wan immediately took out a small mirror to look at herself, and after making sure everything was perfect, she quickly answered Shen Yuran's call.
"It's me." Su Wan showed a refreshing and clear smile: "What are you doing?"
In the video screen, Xu Mingyi was wearing a black T-shirt, with his strong wheat-colored arms exposed in the sun. In the midsummer of the sun, beads of sweat hung between his broad brows.
He frowned slightly, his eyes buried in the deep lids.
"I'm working."
Su Guan noticed that behind him, among the fields with beautiful mountains and clear waters, stood several colorfully dressed girls. They were wearing sun hats and sunglasses, beautiful and fashionable.
He also seemed to help one of the girls carry a pink bag.
Su Wan took a breath: "Xu Mingyi..."
"Hey, handsome Xu, come and take a picture for us."
"There is an additional charge for taking pictures."
"Got it, come quickly."
Xu Mingyi said to Su Wan: "I'm a little busy now, I'll see you later."
"oh… "
The video was hung up, Su Wan handed the phone to Shen Yuran, forced a smile, and said, "Thank you."
Seeing that she seemed to have a lot of ups and downs in her mood, Shen Yuran stopped joking around.
The high-speed train drove out slowly.
Fu Shihan heard the little girl beside him yawn after yawn, he looked down at her, his small face was full of tiredness, and there were still dark circles under his eyes.
"Did you stay up late to read again last night?"
"Um."
"How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to stay up late, you must go to bed before eleven o'clock."
"I'm going to bed." Huo Yan smiled at him: "Reading under the covers."
Fu Shihan patted her on the head lightly: "What are you doing here for me?"
"Hmm." Huo Yan covered his head, seeing his serious expression, so he quickly expressed his favor: "I was wrong, after the game I will definitely sleep well and not stay up late."
Fu Shihan's eyes softened a lot, and he said, "Go to sleep for a while."
"Um."
Huo Yan leaned his head to the window and closed his eyes: "Then I'll sleep for a while, remember to wake me up when I get off the car."
"Where are you going to sleep?"
Hearing his reply, Huo Yan opened his eyes and looked at him puzzled.
Fu Shihan looked at the scenery outside the window, but leaned his shoulders, stretched out his arms, and put them on the armchair behind her.
Meaning, it's obvious.
Huo Yan stared at his broad shoulders for a full twenty seconds.
Being stared at by her, Fu Shihan's heart was so hot that he didn't care what happened, he licked her little head, and pressed it directly into his arms.
Huo Yan leaned on Fu Shihan's shoulder and took a nap for a while.
Although his shoulders are all hard, they are not the kind of scrawny and thin bones. On the contrary, there is a layer of flat muscles on top of his skeleton, so it feels quite solid to put his head on it. , very safe.
Huo Yan would move his body from time to time, like a sleeping cat, extremely restless, clutching the corner of his clothes from time to time, or making a purring sound, burying his whole face in the nest of his neck, scratching his body with his soft and warm breath. he.
As long as she moved a little, Fu Shihan's heartbeat would miss a few beats.
This girl actually slept like this, and Fu Shihan could only give in helplessly.
Soon after the train arrived at the station, Huo Yan woke up in a daze. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the fair and tender skin on his neck.
A man's body is much more delicate than a girl's, and it's not intentionally maintained, but born like this.
This makes people a little envious.
Huo Yan's eyes moved down slowly and landed on his shoulders, a small piece of his white shirt seemed to be wet.
Huo Yan suddenly widened his eyes, didn't he!
"Are you awake?" came his mellow voice.
Huo Yan hurriedly covered the wet spot on his shoulder with his hand, for fear of being seen by him.
Fu Shihan didn't even lift his eyelids, and said lightly: "What are you covering, I can't feel it?"
Huo Yan quickly took out a tissue from the bag, and wiped it for him with a guilty conscience: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I will take off your clothes later and let me wash them for you."
Fu Shihan didn't seem to care about this, he just rubbed her messy sleeping hair, and carried her small schoolbag: "Let's go."
"Oh." Huo Yan obediently followed behind him. After getting out of the car, Fu Shihan called a car and drove a few people towards the hotel.
Huo Yan noticed that Su Wan, who loves to joke the most on weekdays, didn't talk much, and seemed to be in a bad mood, and even chattered less about Lin Chuyu.
Seeing this, Shen Yuran said to Su Wan: "The second child is usually ignorant of money, and seizes every opportunity to make money. Since he said he was working just now, he definitely didn't run away."
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Su Wan said expressionlessly, "What does it have to do with me? I'm not his."
Shen Yuran made fun of himself, so he simply stopped talking.
Within a few minutes, a wechat video came in, it was Xu Mingyi. Shen Yuran shook the phone screen, and said to Su Wan: "Second, hang up directly?"
"He's looking for you, whether you like it or not."
Shen Yuran hung up the video, and then replied to Xu Mingyi: "You're done."
Xu Mingyi: "?"
Shen Yuran: "Miss Su lost her temper."
Xu Mingyi: "What happened to her?"
Shen Yuran: "How do I know, you reflect on yourself&*%￥#"
Xu Mingyi: "Tell her that I was really busy just now."
Shen Yuran: "Say it yourself, I'm not your mouthpiece."
Xu Mingyi: "Oh."
Shen Yuran: "The monk also has all kinds of emotions and six desires?"
Xu Mingyi: "?"
Shen Yuran: "Didn't the monk only have copper strings in his mind? Why, he cares so much about whether she is angry or not, it's tricky! [Squint-eyed smile]"
Xu Mingyi: "Uh, she is my big client, so I can't easily offend her."
Shen Yuran: ...
After returning to the hotel and settling down, Lin Chuyu asked Su Wan: "What's the matter? You were very happy when you went out today. After a video with him, you became like this."
Su Wan said with anger in her heart: "The summer vacation is already half over, and I think about him every day. He is fine, and he is very happy to accompany the girls to go out for a tour of the mountains and rivers."
Huo Yan raised his head from the question bank and looked at Su Wan: "The monk is not that kind of person."
She had worked with him for a while, and Xu Mingyi definitely belonged to the kind of boy who doesn't touch women. No, in his eyes, there is no distinction between men and women in this world. Only Su Wan can make him People who are fooling around to make money and people like Huo Yan... no matter how eloquent they are, they will never get anything out of them.
At this time, Su Wan's WeChat rang, and Xu Mingyi's video came in. Seeing his blank profile picture, Su Wan's whole mood jumped for joy, but he still pretended to go to the balcony calmly and picked it up. video.
"what."
In the video, Xu Mingyi seems to be riding a motorcycle, the roadside is full of rural scenery, backing away quickly, and the sun is setting in the distance.
He didn't wear a hood either, and his curly bangs flew back, and his eyes were half-closed by the wind.
His curly bangs used to always cover his eyes, making it difficult for people to see what his face looked like, giving him a slightly unfathomable feeling.
At this moment, the whole face is completely revealed, with a pair of long and narrow red phoenix eyes, delicate and handsome.
Su Wan felt that his single eyelid was really ugly and handsome.
"Hey, I heard you're unhappy."
His loud shouts came from the receiver, as well as the howling of the wind.
"Are you crazy? You still play videos while riding a bike!" Su Wan was really angry now: "I'm dead!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for his reaction, he hung up the video, walked around the balcony twice angrily, and cursed: "Big pig's hooves!"
Within two minutes, Xu Mingyi sent a text message: "I stopped the car, please pick it up again."
Su Wan couldn't bear it, so she replayed the video: "Your time is so precious, you can't waste a second, can you?"
On the other side of the video, Xu Mingyi stood by the road with his motorcycle beside him. He brushed his hair and said helplessly, "It's getting dark, and there are still more than ten kilometers to go. I have to go back and cook for grandma."
Su Wan's anger subsided a little, and he muttered, "What about those girls, won't you accompany them?"
"Time has passed, of course I won't be with you anymore, now is my private time."
Su Wan said angrily, "What are you doing today?"
"Lead a group."
"Leading a group?"
"I will take the tourists who are introduced to camp by others to the place."
It was only then that Su Wan suddenly realized: "You... you just learned software, why did you go to be a tour guide for others?"
"Is there a profession for making money?"
Su Wan felt much better, and asked with a smile, "Then how much did you earn this afternoon?"
"you guess."
Su Wan deliberately said: "It's so hard, it must be two hundred."
A refreshing smile rarely appeared on Xu Mingyi's face, and he compared his fingers to six: "This is the number."
"not bad."
He seemed very happy: "Yes."
"Well, it's amazing."
Xu Mingyi walked to the side of the motorcycle and asked again: "Shen Yuran said you are unhappy, what's going on?"
"Is there?" Su Wan rolled her eyes, "I'm in a very good mood."
"Hey, he lied to me." Xu Mingyi said regretfully, "I wanted to give you psychological counseling as a friendship price, but since I don't have one, then forget it."
Su Wan curled her lips: "Busy people, the sun is about to set, you should go back soon."
"Well, I'm leaving." Xu Mingyi crossed his legs and got on the motorcycle again.
"Be careful, drive slowly, and send me a message when you get home."
Xu Mingyi was a little confused, and didn't understand what Su Wan's actions meant, but seeing that the sun was about to sink, and he would walk at night if he didn't hurry back, so he nodded without thinking too much, and turned it off. video.
Su Wan looked at the video of the ended call with a sweet smile on her lips. When she turned her head, she saw Huo Yan and Lin Chuyu standing by the door, looking at her speechlessly.
"What are you looking at?" Su Wan returned to the room with a guilty conscience.
Lin Chuyu shook his head: "You are finished, you have been poisoned by that monk."
Huo Yan also said sternly: "Su Wan, you are smarter than the average girl, you can't fail to see that he just wants to make money and has no heart at all..."
Su Wan smiled faintly: "I can't see what you two idiots can see."
"Then you still..."
Su Wan leaned on the balcony and stretched her waist long: "Whoever says I like someone, they must like me."
Lin Chuyu said, "Then you are unrequited love."
"So what about unrequited love." Su Wan said frankly: "If you don't work hard, there is no hope. If you work hard, maybe one day in the future, he will see me."
Huo Yan looked at Su Wan, her plump little face was full of confidence, so beautiful. She appreciates her attitude, not pestering nor giving up, let alone embarrassing the other party.
Su Wan has always been a very understanding girl.
The three girls stood on the balcony, looking at the sparkling night scene by the river, the evening breeze was cool, Huo Yan couldn't help asking: "What's it like to like someone?"
Su Wan thought for a while and said, "Whether it's a meeting or a chance meeting, as soon as I see him, my heart will feel like being shot by an angel's arrow, and little stars will appear in front of my eyes, um... like soda pop in a coke can, I will feel very happy. If you encounter something interesting, you will immediately want to share it with him. Every day, you will think of various reasons to chat with him. If someone keeps asking you to report his life, he will come to provoke you from time to time. Don't think about it, I must like you."
Lin Chuyu sighed: "It's over, no one has ever looked for me like this."
Su Wan poked her little head: "Take your time."
Huo Yan, who had been silent all this time, opened his WeChat silently, and Fu Shihan's dialog box was always the first one.
His profile picture is a cartoon little robot, standing under the dark blue night sky, looking up at the starry sky, not knowing what to think.
Huo Yan pulled up a few lines of the chat history.

Huo Yan: "Please leave it all to me!"
Fu Shihan: "Okay."

Huo Yan: "Wow, you wrote it for a long time, and I haven't started it yet."

Fu Shihan: "Oh."

Fu Shihan: "Sorry, you're so handsome."
Huo Yan: "..."
