"Did you get kissed by Yu Ran?"

During the review period on weekends, Chu Mian was asked this question on QQ by her classmates for the fourth time.

He held up the mobile phone in his left hand to reply perfunctorily, and wrote down the names of these gossiping people in the notebook with his right hand.

"Fortunately, Mr. Wang usually walks around when giving lectures. When she came to me, I quietly stood up and pulled out the paper airplane!" Cui He described in detail his experience of "pulling out teeth" in the small group of five people. , got applause from Yu Ran and others.

[Diu Ge Yi Jing Ling]: I think Mr. Wang should have found out at the time, but she was in a hurry to give a lecture and didn't bother to talk to you.

[Whale Song.]: It has nothing to do with me! It was thrown away. Anyway, he has already gone out to stand for punishment, and it is useless for the teacher to scold him.

[Diu Ge Yi Jing Ling]: He is dishonest outside, isn't he still kissing Chu Mian forcefully.

[Misaki]: Eh, eh

Chu Mian looked at the chat history helplessly, and sent an ellipsis. He waited for Yu Ran to take the initiative to explain, but the other party seemed to disappear, and he didn't participate in the discussion for a long time.

Chu Mian had no choice but to chat with him privately, and after a few minutes, Yu Ran replied, "I'm thinking about a composition."

"Your composition style should not need to be conceived in advance."

Yu Ran is quite modest: "Oh, you can't rely on your own talent, so you don't work hard!"

Chu Mian is speechless, sometimes he admires Yu Ran's unshakeable and powerful self-confidence. Others have to rack their brains to write the correct answer in the exam, but Yu Ran is whimsical in the exam, allowing his own thinking to override the range of all answers above.

Especially in liberal arts, a few days ago Chu Mian took the time to explain geography to him. When they sorted out the three pages of notes in detail... a brand new earth was slowly born in Yu Ran's mind.

After three consecutive days of midterm exams, Chengjun Middle School ushered in the annual campus art festival.

Yu Ran knew that Fang Zhao was going to sing on stage, and as a good brother, of course he had to support the scene. He first went to the ten yuan store to wholesale a bunch of clapping devices for his classmates, and then went to the toy store to buy some water guns that could spray bubbles. Even put on the whistle, just waiting for Fang Zhao to enliven the atmosphere in the auditorium when he appeared on the stage.

Two or three students had already appeared on the stage before, and Yu Ran suddenly realized that he had neglected an important supporting prop: "It's broken, Chu Mian, look, some people came to the stage to present flowers in the middle of their singing, just like a fucking star concert of."

Chu Mian was drowsy in the afternoon, and lazily echoed, "You can also blow bubbles."

"How does this compare to presenting flowers? In the middle of the song, it will only appear popular if there are fans on stage." Yu Ran's face was solemn, and after careful consideration, he decided to send flowers to Fang Zhao, "No, I'll go out and give him some time now." Son."

Chu Mian had already closed her eyes and fell asleep, completely unaware of Ran slipping away. After a while, he was awakened by Yu Ran's yell: "Wow, this contestant is so handsome, I can feel his heavenly voice before he even started singing!"

Chu Mian rubbed her eyes and sat up straight, and found that Fang Zhao had just stepped onto the stage, so he picked up a bubble water gun and sprayed it on the stage together with Yu Ran.

In order to make the atmosphere of Fang Zhao's performance reach the peak of enthusiasm, Yu Ran waved the plastic clapper with both hands without sparing any effort, without even noticing that two parts fell off. Before the prelude sounded, he first attracted the attention of everyone nearby. Many people recognized that Yan Ran was the classmate who skipped class exercises last time, and they were amused by him again.

The song Fang Zhao sang was "Rewind" by Jolin Tsai. His voice is very clean and clear when he usually speaks. Now he sings with a calm dantian.

After the chorus ended and the accompaniment started, Yu Ran left his seat and prepared to present flowers on stage.

Chu Mian didn't know how he found the opportunity to buy the bouquet just now, turned around curiously, but suddenly found that Yu Ran picked up a pot of spider orchids from the ground and rushed towards the stage.

Fang Zhao was caught off guard when he saw him running towards him from the auditorium. After Yu Ran took the stage, he stuffed a potted plant borrowed from the security room into Fang Zhao's arms, and then turned into an emotional fan after seeing his idol, clutching his chest and sighing loudly: "Ah! You sing so well! I grew up listening to your songs, and my whole family likes you very much!"

After speaking, he did not forget to cover his face and pretend to cry.

The audience roared with laughter, Fang Zhao hugged a pot of spider plants, and almost forgot the words in the second half of the song.

After he finished singing this song, Yu Ran was so exhausted that he leaned against Chu Mian out of breath, his arms drooping weakly.

However, his exaggerated performance just now did effectively invigorate the atmosphere. At the end of the accompaniment, all the teachers and students in the auditorium applauded enthusiastically, not only because of Fang Zhao's outstanding strength, but also because of Yu Ran's "fan". .

After the performance, the students went back to their respective classes. Fang Zhao received a lot of compliments along the way, and even the music teacher said he was suitable for singing.

Yu Ran put his arms around his shoulders and persuaded him, "You might as well go to the Central Conservatory of Music, when the time comes, we'll all go to Beijing after graduation, that would be great."

"Do you think this kind of school is so easy to take exams? It has to be practiced since childhood. I'm just a hobby." Fang Zhao smiled, "And even if I think about it, my parents definitely don't agree. I still have to be serious. college entrance examination."

Yu Ran doesn't know much about music, but he will trust Fang Zhao 100%: "It's okay, the big deal is that you will participate in "The Voice of China" in the future, and then hold 32 concerts a year like Yang Kun. go."

Even if he was fantasizing about the future jokingly, Fang Zhao's mood suddenly brightened, and he said with a smile, "At that time, you will be able to bring your wife and children here."

Chu Mian didn't listen to their conversation carefully, but when Fang Zhao mentioned the words "wife and child", he involuntarily came back to his senses and began to pay attention to their chat content.

However, their next topic did not revolve around "wife and children", it seemed that they were just talking casually just now.

Chu Mian looked at Yu Ran's profile, and suddenly felt a strong sense of disobedience.

Just like during the military training, he really couldn't associate the word "love" with Yu Ran, and now he can't imagine that Yu Ran will be related to major life events such as "marriage and childbirth", which is very related to Yu Ran's personality. Not apt.

In Chu Mian's view, Yu Ran should be an ignorant adult even when he becomes an adult, the kind of idiot who doesn't know how to please girls before the age of twenty-five, and goes on blind dates every day after the age of twenty-five.

How is it possible to get married and have children smoothly

Chu Mian even had the illusion that Yu Ran would never grow up in this life.

It's not that the mind stops growing, but it seems that even the appearance can last for a lifetime of fifteen years... This is the "normal" Yu Ran in his impression.

After another week of intensive classes, it is time for the release of midterm exam results.

Since this exam requires a district-wide ranking, the results were announced one day late, and the parents' meeting was held in the evening when the students learned the scores.

During the big class break, Mr. Wang passed the first class and handed out the test papers by the way. Standing at the door, she saw Yu Ran and asked loudly: "Yu Ran, didn't I give you a few composition templates before the exam? You memorized them and used them later?"

Yu Ran timidly replied: "I've been tricked, didn't you tell me to change it myself, modify it..."

"Are you 'retouching'? You just gave it a facelift!" Teacher Wang adjusted his glasses, "And what did you answer the reading questions? It's okay, I won't talk about you today, and I will directly Talk to your parents."

She finished speaking heavily and hurried away.

After the Chinese test papers were handed out, Chu Mian noticed that several people in the class walked towards Yu Ran at the same time, as if they wanted to make fun of his composition again. Chu Mian had no choice but to stand up and took the paper first.

The composition requirement this time is to choose genres other than poetry, and the title is half-named: That time, I really____.

Many students wrote "that time, I really shed tears", "I really regret it", "I'm really happy", give full play to their subjective initiative, and make up one touching or warm story after another.

Chu Mian was mentally prepared, and slowly opened Yu Ran's composition paper—

"That time, I was really crazy"

Chu Mian took a deep breath, and slowly closed Yu Ran's composition paper.

"Why don't you read something good together?" Cui He came over and grabbed Chu Mian's arm, and grabbed the composition paper, "Come on, let me read Yu Ran's latest masterpiece. Hey, twenty-six points, this Isn’t rounding up to a perfect score? It’s amazing, Yu Ran!”

She immediately gave her thumbs up, and then read out the content in cadence: "'The famous British scientist Goldo Roger once said that family affection is a double-edged sword. When you perceive it, it drives you into the abyss...'"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Ran couldn't help applauding himself, "That's really well said, it all rhymes."

Cui He quietly rolled his eyes, and continued to read aloud with emotion: "'When I was young, I encountered such a strange thing, and I still can't understand it when I think about it. That day after school, I pestered my mother to go to the vegetable market. I bought three little chickens, they were as yellow as ducks, mischievous and cute, which made my heart flutter. When I got home, my brother and I built a small nest for the little chickens out of cardboard, and let them live in it again. Sing and dance.'”

"'But soon, mother became dissatisfied with the chickens, because they were chattering in the middle of the night, noisier than the old women who played cards downstairs, and mother had to go to the bathroom every night to scold the chickens , Threatened that if they talk again, I will kill you and make soup! The chickens are so scared that they dare not chat at night again.'”

"'At that time, our family was very poor, and we often ate a meal without a meal, and we could only eat meat once a week. So when I heard my mother threaten the chickens like that, I doubted that she would actually kill them, because Mom is usually a cruel woman.'”

Cui He paused for a moment, glanced at Yu Ran sympathetically, and asked with concern: "Is your family really that difficult at that time?"

Yu Ran shook his head, and asked back: "There is only one sentence in this composition that is true, which one do you think it is?"

Chu Mian pondered, "Chickens are as yellow as ducks."

"Wrong!" Yu Ran denied, "It's 'my mother is a cruel woman'!"

"..." Cui He continued to read, "'Sure enough, when I woke up one morning, the three chicks really died strangely! I squatted next to their dead bodies and cried loudly, but my mother was indifferent, picked them up, and took them directly. Going to the kitchen to make soup.'”

"'I don't drink! I yelled angrily, the smell of meat was overflowing in the room, and I was hungry, but when I thought of the chick being brutally killed by my mother, I didn't have any appetite at all, so I rushed out the door, crying Running on the street. Suddenly, it rained heavily, as if God was crying for the chicken, I yelled, knelt on the ground, and gradually lost consciousness...'”

"'When I woke up again, I was delirious. I forgot the memory of that time. Later, I heard from my mother that I could only crow like a cock, and kept pecking people with my mouth. It was terrible! It was like crazy. Same.'"

"'But one thing I remember very clearly is that I had a dream that night, and it was entrusted to me by the chickens. The strange thing is that they are clearly chattering, but I can understand what they are saying. After waking up from the dream , I followed their instructions and opened my younger brother’s pillow, and sure enough—there were light-yellow chicken feathers underneath!’”

"'What's the matter? Why do you have chicken hair here? I questioned my brother, but he hesitated and couldn't answer. At this time, I found that the corners of his mouth were yellow, so I opened his mouth forcefully, surprised It turned out to be a mouth full of blood!'”

"'I smelled it and it smelled like chicken blood!'You... you!' I looked at my brother in shock, and couldn't believe that he had killed the chicken. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time That day, listening to my mother threatening the chickens to make soup if they were disobedient may have inspired the idea of killing the chickens. I was so disappointed in my brother that I fainted out of anger.'”

"'When I woke up again, it was already three days later. I heard from my mother that I couldn't speak human words in the past three days, like a chicken, kept pecking my brother and pulling his hair. Until he cried I knelt down to apologize, and I let him go. After listening to my mother’s words, I couldn’t calm down for a long time, and I remembered the little chickens entrusting me with dreams before. It seems that they are attached to me this time to take revenge!’”

Cui He was thinking, and suddenly sighed wearily: "Fuck, it's too miserable to be your younger brother. You have pulled his hair twice in just a few months."

At the end of this composition, Yu Ran still did not forget to summarize and sublimate: "Many people say that animals are psychic, and I suddenly realized that it is no wonder that the vital organs of our body are named after chickens. It seems that our ancestors were once like me. Same, resonate with them!"

After Chu Mian listened to it completely, she asked sincerely, "Yu Ran, your science scores should be very high in the high school entrance examination?"

"Fuck, how do you know? I passed a hundred and one in math!"

There was a perfunctory smile on the corner of Chu Mian's mouth: "Well, it's expected."

"Hey, you found out so soon."

Yu Ran straightened his back and said meaningfully: "Sure enough, judging whether a person is smart or not is like judging whether he has hair or not. This kind of exposed thing cannot be hidden..."

After the last class, the parent-teacher meeting is about to begin, and there are more and more bicycles parked outside the teaching building.

Yu Ran and Chu Mian met their parents at the gate of the station. Chu Heng was at home rushing to finish the draft just now, and when she arrived at school a few minutes late, she eagerly asked Chu Mian for the location of the meeting.

Standing by the side, Yu Ran felt that he should take the initiative to say hello and appear polite. But he saw that Chu Mian's aunt was quite young, and it was inappropriate to call her "Auntie", so he had to say "Hello, Big Sister".

He hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth again: "Wow."

Chu Mian was taken aback when she heard him suddenly barking like a dog. Then I realized that my aunt had accidentally called me "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ."

... In the end, did Yu Ran take this as a communication signal

Chu Heng didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with them, so he just smiled softly at Yu Ran, and then hurried to the classroom.

"Bye bye, big sister!" Yu Ran waved goodbye, "Meow!"

Chu Mian laughed dumbfounded, and gently pushed Yu Ran's head.

The moment the palm touched the boy's soft hair, the illusion from not long ago gradually became clear at this moment. In a trance, Chu Mian realized that she didn't mistakenly think that Yu Ran "won't grow up", but hoped that he simply "don't grow up".

It's not a big deal to be stupid, whether it's writing ridiculous essays or communicating with others in an unreasonable way, at least the world is simple, at least happiness is pure, at least...

At least I can make myself laugh along with him from the bottom of my heart.

Chu Mian gently curled up her five fingers, and when she clenched slightly, she felt a heat flow in her palm.

—Still be a Muggle all the time.
