After nearly half a month of meticulous rehearsal for the stage play, the lead actor had an accidental nosebleed and missed the selection time. Yu Ran felt ashamed to face Ye Xi. Chu Mian was obviously very happy, anyway, he didn't need to wear that aesthetically deformed skirt anymore, class honor was of little importance to him.
"It's a pity, I haven't had time to take pictures yet." Yu Ran sighed obsessively, "When you wear that dress, even Dy Gaga is three points inferior."
During the big class break in the morning, the classroom was empty and quiet, only the two of them were drawing blackboard newspapers in the room. This is the job that Yu Ran took the initiative to take over from Ye Xi in order to make up for his mistakes, while Chu Mian was forced by him to write cursive characters.
After Chu Mian finished writing, she put down the chalk and blew the white foam off her fingertips. She tilted her head and saw that Yu Ran was still outlining the border on the far left side of the blackboard. The painting was not like ordinary flowers, but seemed to be waves of the sea, and its flow direction could be vaguely seen.
Yu Ran stepped on the chair, rolled up the sleeves of both school uniforms, and focused on the lines drawn by the pen. Chu Mian didn't make a sound to interrupt, and waited silently for him to finish part of the painting before asking, "When did you start practicing painting?"
"The first year of junior high school or the second year of junior high school, I forgot. In fact, I first learned graffiti at that time. Have you seen the painted wall at Lanwan Square?" Yu Ran lowered his head and picked out a new piece of chalk, breaking off the front end, "There is a I drew the robot."
Lanwan Square is also a famous scenic spot in Ronggang. Chu Mian sometimes passed by there, and he could indeed see the graffiti wall, but he never paid much attention to it. After all, the Pet Climbing Fair a few years ago was held nearby, and Chu Mian didn't want to think about Marika's lost memories anymore.
But now it is a small surprise to find that things that I don't care about are connected with people around me.
Chu Mian said, "Then I'll take a look next time."
"I don't know if it's still there or not, it was a few years ago." Yu Ran continued to draw a poster, "What do you think of the row of walls over the parking lot of our school?"
Chu Mian stopped his eager thoughts: "Don't draw in our school, you will be punished."
"Then where do I go to paint?"
Chu Mian thought for a few seconds and said, "Another school."
Yu Ran laughed: "You're a badass."
After hanging out with Yu Ran for a long time, Chu Mian's thinking also unknowingly deviated from the proper path. Although in Cui He's words, "You just revealed your true colors", Chu Mian still insists that there is a crucial relationship between himself and Yu Ran. The difference is that he uses his brain before speaking, while Yu Ran has no brain at all.
The radio exercise music outside has ended, and the students have returned to the class one after another. Every time Yu Ran finished washing his hands in the bathroom, he had to wipe them on Chu Mian when he was not prepared. The black school uniform was very conspicuously wet, and the two of them were soaked when they had a fight. It was very eye-catching when they entered the classroom together.
Just recently, boys often buy a kind of water gun toy candy at the canteen. Yu Ranshu stored several empty shells in the box. He couldn’t wait to fill it with mineral water, then stood up and held the small water gun high, threatening Chu Mian with a majestic loud voice. : "I'm going to spray water!"
At this time, no matter what they were doing, the whole class stopped their movements and stared at Yu Ran in astonishment.
Chu Mian wanted to lower her head and pretend to be concentrating on her homework to draw a clear line with him, but Yu Ran immediately said in a high voice, "Haha! Look at me shooting you all over your face!"
After speaking, he frantically pulled the trigger with his index finger, and the parts of the plastic water gun made a series of "creaking" noises.
The atmosphere in the classroom fell into dead silence, Fang Zhao hurriedly called out behind him in a low voice: "Yu Ran, Yu Ran, stop playing, the teacher is here."
Yu Ran turned around and saw Bai Yuzhu standing at the door with a stiff face and asked, "Didn't you hear the class bell?"
He immediately hid the small water gun in his pocket and returned to his seat angrily.
Bai Yuzhu announced to the whole class: "It's time to change positions at noon, and each row should be adjusted to the window side. From now on, remember to change it every Monday morning. Also, there will be an earthquake drill before doing exercises in the afternoon. You should be quick. Don't waste time. Do you hear me?"
Yu Ran replied loudly: "Okay!"
The head teacher immediately rolled his eyes at him, and tapped his finger twice in the air, signaling him to behave.
"Well, in the afternoon, I should sit by the door. That's not the exclusive seat for the leading actor." Yu Ran was reluctant to part with his current position, but after thinking about it, he felt that there were other benefits, "Hey, Chu Mian, will you be in the future? Can you open the back door for me?"
Chu Mian was wiping the drops of water off his face, when he heard Yu Ran say such unclear words again, he immediately threw the ball of paper in his hand.
"Why are you angry?"
Chu Mian ignored him, lay down on the table and began to sleep.
Yu Ran shook Chu Mian's arm to harass him, but when he got no response, he took an automatic pencil and wrote the word "sb" on the wall next to Chu Mian, and then drew a downward arrow pointing to Chu Mian.
After entertaining himself, Yu Ran couldn't help but sigh again, a little disappointed.
No matter how much he concentrated, his body never felt as warm as last time, as if it was just a coincidence, and the day when he officially awakened his superpowers was still unknown.
Yu Ran only had the word "hateful" left in his mind. It will be almost winter in one month. If my body can be as warm as taking a hot bath in the cold wind, how relaxed and happy it will be.
During the big class break in the afternoon, an alarm came from the radio.
Everyone remembered that there was going to be an earthquake drill, so they immediately put down their pens and lined up to go down the stairs according to the teacher's instructions. Ronggang is located in the North China Plain. The local children have never experienced an earthquake since they were young, and they don't feel the sense of crisis. Now the drills are not rushed.
Walking out of the teaching building to the playground, the physical education teacher Dou supervised them halfway, urging them: "Do you have a sense of urgency? You are still talking and laughing here. Imagine that if there is an earthquake now, you will not be able to escape!"
Even if he said that, the students were indifferent and still dealt with it lazily.
But at this moment, everyone heard a loud roar from behind the team: "Run! There's an earthquake! If you don't run, people will die!"
Everyone looked back in amazement, only to see Yu Ran running forward with all his strength as if there was no one else around, the hair on his forehead stood up in the wind, revealing his anxious eyes.
He rushed directly from the back row to the front of the team, racing against time to rush to the open green field alone.
Cui He almost swallowed the bubble gum in fright: "Fuck, this idiot is so fucking serious."
Fang Zhao nodded in agreement: "And it's even more stupid to be serious."
Teacher Dou was very pleased: "You should learn from Yu Ran, you should have this kind of crisis awareness."
Amidst the loud laughter of the whole class, Chu Mian felt a little ashamed for Yu Ran. And Yu Ran complacently waited for them on the playground, without any sense of embarrassment at all.
However, because of his very positive attitude just now, after the exercise, the director specially praised Class 1 and Class 1 on stage, and everyone rejoiced.
"Hey, there's no other way, the Sports Committee has to have this sense of responsibility." After returning to the classroom, Yu Ran praised himself while brushing his hair.
But it didn't take long for him to be happy, he felt a bit of coolness between his legs, and looked down to see that his crotch was wet.
"Fuck!" Yu Ran remembered that he had stuffed the small water gun in his pocket in the morning and hadn't taken it out. As a result, the part was torn off during the intense running just now, so he quickly took out a few pieces of paper and pressed it on the wet part.
He wanted to go out to blow some air and let the school uniforms dry faster, but the Chinese teacher had already entered the door with the textbooks in his arms: "Hurry up, come back and take out the paper to write silently. I forgot to silently yesterday. Why didn't you remind me? The first one, gnawing..."
In Chengjun Middle School, if you haven't experienced the speed of Chinese teacher Wang Mingtao's speech, you don't know what real bitterness is. When everyone wailed and begged her to read the uncommon words slowly, Teacher Wang's machine-gun-like mouth had already reached classical Chinese.
Yu Ran didn't keep up with the rhythm from the initial stage of looking for the dictation paper, so he directly gave up the dictation of the previous words and concentrated on wiping his pants with his head down.
"Have you finished your silence? Don't write until you finish your silence. The last classmate will get up and collect it."
Chu Mian was the first to get up. He knew that Teacher Wang often wrote silently in surprise, so he always kept a few blank sheets of paper in the book box, so that he could keep up with her speaking speed every time.
When she walked to Yu Ran's side, Chu Mian put her note on the table and copied it for him, but when she looked down, she saw Yu Ran's hands drooping, clutching a tissue to wipe the wetness between her legs.
Chu Mian was taken aback by this subtle scene, turned her face away, and hurried forward to accept other people's dictation notes.
"Take out "Sunshine Classroom"!" Teacher Wang stepped down from the podium, "Who hasn't written it? Xue Zifan, have you written it? I knew you didn't write it, so go out. How about Yu Ran?"
Yu Ran hastily took out her homework, "Huh? I forgot."
"Okay, you can go out too, and come in after you finish writing."
Yu Ran obediently went to stay in the corridor, and high-fived Xue Zifan who was kicked out with him just now. The two often did not complete their homework as required in Chinese class. At first, Teacher Wang got angry with them, but now he calmly asks them to leave the classroom every day.
"Master, how far are you short?" Yu Ran bent over and lay on the window sill, "I only have two units that I haven't written, do you want to copy them?"
Xue Zifan calmly replied: "I wrote it all."
"Ah? Then why did you come out?"
"I don't want to go to class." Xue Zifan yawned.
Yu Ran gave him a thumbs up, "The Great God is the Great God."
If you want to say who you admire the most in the class, Yu Ran will definitely mention Xue Zifan. This person especially likes to choke with Mr. Wang in Chinese class. He doesn't raise an argument, but lazily answers the conversation at a very slow speed. The wind is light. But he talked normally with his classmates in private, and only in front of Teacher Wang did he imitate the speech speed of "Guo Degang imitating Li Jing".
"Great God, teach me." Yu Ran got tired after copying the homework halfway, and chatted with Xue Zifan, "I don't need to predict the future, just let me see human tails just like you."
Xue Zifan said: "This can't be taught, you have to open your eyes."
"How?"
"Poke yourself blind first." Xue Zifan widened his eyes at him, "Then put on a new one like me."
"Fuck, you're bluffing me." Yu Ran pushed him, and immediately gave up the idea of opening his eyes.
Being bored in the corridor, Yu Ran quietly walked to the back door of the classroom to observe Chu Mian's serious face in class. After a while, while the whole class was reading the text in unison, Yu Ran knocked on the glass of the back door to attract Chu Mian's attention.
Chu Mian knew that it was impossible for him to make up for his homework outside, so he turned to look over.
Yu Ran made a funny face on purpose, his nose stuck to the transparent glass, almost crushed. Chu Mian chuckled, seeing that Teacher Wang was not looking this way, she stretched out her hand to unlock the back door, opening a gap for Yu Ran.
"I want to buy watercolors after school." Yu Ran whispered, "Painting board newspaper."
Chu Mian nodded and agreed to accompany him.
The two discussed whether to take the subway or the bus. Chu Mian heard that Chu Ran's voice was a little hoarse, which might have been caused by shouting too loudly during the earthquake drill in the afternoon.
He turned sideways, took out a box of throat lozenges from his school bag, and passed it out through the crack of the door.
"What kind of candy, is it delicious?" Yu Ran couldn't understand the foreign language on it.
"Mint flavor." Chu Mian told him in a low voice, "During the voice change period, protect your throat."
Yu Ran immediately showed a smile, went back with the candy, and continued to lie on the window sill to do his homework.
Xue Zifan stared at his lower back for a moment, then said casually, "Yu Ran, your tail is up."
Yu Ran subconsciously covered her tailbone.
When the school bell rang, Yu Ran finally finished his Chinese homework and successfully escaped from Teacher Wang's clutches.
He returned the lozenges to Chu Mian, but the other party said, "Take it."
Yu Ran stuffed it into his pocket unceremoniously.
The two took the subway and were going to Ronggang Academy of Fine Arts. The shops there had a variety of watercolors, and they should be able to buy ones that were suitable for drawing blackboard newspapers and were easy to clean.
Now is the rush hour, and the subway is overcrowded. The two of them are holding the hanging ring, and their bodies are shaking slightly. Yu Ran was tired from standing, so he let go of the armrest and leaned on Chu Mian.
"I want to sit." Yu Ran stared at the row of passengers in front of him, and whispered to Chu Mian, "Who do you think will get up at the next stop? I guess it's the long-haired woman."
Chu Mian followed his gaze, "She put on the earphones just now, which means that there is no need to listen to the news station for a long distance, and she won't get off so soon."
Yu Ran scanned the others: "Where's the one with the suitcase?"
Chu Mian said, "He's sitting too slack, if he stops and walks, he'll definitely be sitting upright right now, holding on to the box."
Yu Ran felt that Chu Mian's analysis was well-founded and convincing.
"I think it's the one in the red coat. She's been staring at the name of the station." Chu Mian made a judgment and arched her elbows at Yu Ran, "In her position, she should get up to the left. You can stand on her right the fastest. sit down."
"Okay." Yu Ran quickly rubbed against the crowd and squeezed in front of the aunt Chu Mian was talking about. He was ready to go, waiting for the subway to stop before taking his seat first.
Finally, the bell rang to stand by, and Yu Ran watched the lady in red move her body.
"It's now." Chu Mian reminded him, and did not forget to push. Yu Ran hastily said "um", and sat down without thinking.
—Sit directly on the aunt's lap.
"Huh?" Yu Ran turned around in surprise, and met a pair of equally surprised eyes.
The aunt asked him sincerely: "Young man, don't you see someone here?"
"I'm sorry!" Yu Ran didn't expect the prediction to fail, and quickly apologized and stood up. When she turned her head again, she found that Chu Mian was squeezing into the crowd bit by bit, trying to stay away from herself.
"Fuck." Yu Ran immediately followed, grabbing Chu Mian's schoolbag, "You fucking tricked me."
"I don't know how to read minds." Chu Mian tried to keep her expression calm, "Who made you so lazy, you just want to sit after a few stops, Muggle."
Yu Ran couldn't make loud noises on the subway, so he had to wrap his arms around Chu Mian and pinch him hard.
It was already dark when the two left the subway station.
"So what does 'Muggle' mean? Why do you always call me that?" Yu Ran held onto Chu Mian's arm, "Is it a curse word?"
Chu Mian acted nonchalantly: "You don't know how to Baidu?"
"That's right." Yu Ran even forgot about this method, took out his mobile phone and searched for this word, and found that it refers to ordinary people who don't know magic in "Harry Potter".
Yu Ran let go of Chu Mian's arm, stood there in surprise and forgot to walk, and looked at him in disbelief: "You call me 'Muggle', that means—"
"You know magic?"
Clear thinking, impeccable.
Chu Mian could only sneer and sigh.
"I knew it." With a gentle smile on Yu Ran's lips, he moved close to Chu Mian and looked up at him, "Sure enough, you were the one who woke me up that day."
Chu Mian denied: "It's not me, don't compare me with you."
"It's you, I can feel it." Yu Ran said firmly, "When I see you, I feel warmer than seeing others."
