Adolescent boys seem to never be able to avoid adult topics, and they cover each other with parents and teachers, but they have a good time talking with their peers in school. Chu Mian doesn't dislike these contents, he just doesn't understand, everyone is obviously inexperienced, why they still make all kinds of obscure and obscene jokes unscrupulously, don't they have a sense of shame
What surprised him even more was that Yu Ran actually had similarities with those vulgar boys, and even called to brag about the length of time he persisted. More melons.
Thus, Yu Ran's name was filled in March's "Everything I Hate". This time, Chu Mian didn't even think about the reason for her dislike, and just repeated those two words as if venting her anger, and the tip of the pen carved deep marks on the page.
At the end of writing, Chu Mian found that there were not many blank pages left in the book, so she persisted until the end of April. These few blank pages can be used to record other things before buying a new notebook.
He was in a daze for a few minutes, drawing a short horizontal line on a new page.
—This means that I am too concerned about burning for another day.
The monthly exam in spring comes faster than the heat up, and the lunch break during the exam allows students to freely enter and leave the school. Every time Yu Ran goes to McDonald's to eat double cheeseburger, he also calls on his friends to come together.
Fang Zhao dumped a box of French fries on the dinner plate, poured two packs of ketchup on it, turned to Zhao Wuli and said, "It's so cool to eat like me."
Zhao Wuli's reaction was always slower than others, and it was a pity that he remembered Fang Zhao's words after he squeezed the sauce into a small pile.
When the two looked up, they found that Chu Mian only squeezed the sauce after eating a piece of French fries. His movements were so elegant that they were in stark contrast to them. Fang Zhao couldn't help admiring: "Chu Mian, your way of eating is the most advanced I have ever seen."
"How advanced?" Yu Ran leaned over to look curiously, "What is this, I don't dip ketchup in my French fries, it's more advanced!"
"Tch." Zhou Weixi deliberately sneered next to him, "What is this, I only eat chips when I eat French fries."
"Pretend to be aggressive, just eat and show me!"
Zhao Wuli found that they were competing with each other, and he was not to be outdone: "What is this, I only eat ketchup for French fries!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and stuck out his tongue, hooking all the ketchup on the dinner plate into his mouth. The thick red sauce slowly flowed down the corners of his lips, as shocking as dripping blood, and the others were stunned to see it.
Fang Zhao hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, brother, don't do this..."
Yu Ran immediately laughed heartily. He is used to being judged as a "stupid" by others, but Zhao Wuli is even more stupid than himself, so the feeling of superiority at the bottom of the food chain arises spontaneously. He couldn't help but say: "Zhao Wuli, You are the only one who convinced me because of your low IQ! Hahahaha... "
"Did you know that he was in the same examination room as me?" Chu Mian's voice floated slowly.
Yu Ran smiled and fell silent, lowered his head and bit the burger.
After a long while, he said again: "Actually, sundaes are the best when dipped in French fries, don't you know?"
He stirred a few French fries into the chocolate sundae. This way of eating was immediately rejected by everyone, who attacked it as "dark cuisine". Yu Ran didn't argue, picked out a long one, and handed it to Chu Mian's mouth.
Chu Mian swallowed subconsciously, and the ice cream quickly bloomed on the tip of her tongue, melting into a sweeter taste. He forgot to touch the texture of the fries dipped in the sundae, and swallowed it unconsciously, leaving only the fact that "Yu Ran feeds himself to eat" in his mind.
"Is it delicious?" Yu Ran asked expectantly.
Chu Mian nodded perfunctorily.
This kind of behavior between boys... probably counts as intimacy. Chu Mian paid attention to Yu Ran's next movements, and saw that he didn't feed the others one by one, so she looked away at ease.
After going back that day, there was another horizontal line in Chu Mian's notebook.
Then he thought over and over why Yu Ran only fed himself French fries with his own hands, when he was obviously closer to Zhou Weixi. In the end, he came to a conclusion: because Yu Ran felt that the French fries dipped in the sundae were the best, so he specially gave it to him.
By analogy, Yu Ran felt that pornography was a precious thing, so he asked him if he wanted to watch it; Yu Ran felt that masturbation was a comfortable thing, so he invited him together... After all, compared to other friends, Yu Ran seems to be more Take him seriously.
Chu Mian came to a sudden, her heartbeat quickened and she also believed in this inference.
He squeezed his lips tightly, not wanting to laugh alone in the room, quickly flipped through "baa baa everything you hate", and erased all of Yu Ran's names.
After several spring rains, the air in Ronggang is cold and clean. After the monthly exam, the students are looking forward to the first holiday of this semester, and Yu Ran looks more cheerful than usual after school today.
As soon as he entered the house, he heard his mother yelling. He looked down and found a pair of men's leather shoes on the ground.
It's Dad—Yu Ran easily judged the situation.
His return home can be regarded as a pause in the quarrel between his parents. Li Guirong came out of the kitchen with the dishes, followed by his father, and Yu Jin had been waiting at the dining table for a long time. None of them remembered when the family of four was reunited last time, but now they gathered together for dinner, and none of them showed any particular resistance or nostalgia.
"You idiot, you are really an idiot." Li Guirong obviously hadn't let go of her anger, and couldn't help talking to her two sons, "You two are stupid because you followed your own father. You said, the handle of the plastic broom at home was broken, I asked him to pass by the supermarket to buy a new one, and when he bought it back, guess what he did?"
Li Guirong said with a sneer: "He took off the stick of the new broom and replaced it with the old one."
She turned to stare at the man, "You don't fucking think that dustpan is useful, do you?"
Yu Hui glanced at her disdainfully, "I'm uneducated, the boy's IQ follows his mother's, it doesn't matter to me that they are stupid."
This made Li Guirong roll her eyes angrily, she put down the bowl with a "boom", and looked at Yu Ran and Yu Jin with gritted teeth, "You see, this idiot can't grasp the point when he listens to others, I'm out of control really .”
The two teenagers were not interested in participating in their parents' quarrel, they just smiled and lowered their heads to eat.
Yu Hui didn't want to talk to Li Guirong either, so he turned to ask his two sons about their studies recently. Yu Jin is only in the first year of junior high school, and he can finish his homework around ten o'clock every night, while Yu Ran doesn't go to bed until early in the morning, which makes Yu Hui feel distressed.
The man patted Yu Ran on the shoulder and sighed: "It's all my father's incompetence. If only I were a corrupt official, I would send you to the best school and spend money on the teachers so that they don't let you take care of you and play as you like."
Li Guirong pointed at Yu Hui with the tip of her chopsticks in the air, "Listen, you two, is this dog speaking human language?"
Yu Jin couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Yu Ran comforted his father: "Dad, it's okay, after you get rich, it won't be too late for us to go through the back door."
"Silly boy, how could I get rich?"
"Hurry up and shut up!" Li Guirong kicked him furiously.
Yu Hui came back this time because he had to visit his mother's grave on Ching Ming Festival. When the mother was alive, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship with Li Guirong was very good, so the husband and wife went to the cemetery together every year, pretending to be still in love with each other, and chatting a few times in front of the monument.
It is important for Yu Ran and Yu Jin to study, they just need to stay at home and wait for them to come back.
"Why aren't parents divorced yet?" Yu Jin asked his brother while lying on the bed playing a mobile game, "I think their destiny is over, they can find us a new father and a new mother, so that we can have four pocket money! "
Yu Ran was reciting the notes Chu Mian gave him, and said casually, "We children don't care about adults' affairs."
"You should be sixteen this year."
"Even if I am twenty-six, I am still a child in the eyes of my parents, and you are even more so."
Yu Jin put down his phone and turned over, scratched his cheek, and asked, "Do you know how your parents met? I don't remember them mentioning it."
Yu Ran doesn't have much memory, as long as he can remember, his parents' way of getting along has nothing to do with the word "harmony". But he looked through the family photo album, and his parents wore the clothes of the same technical school when they were young, shoulder to shoulder, smiling brightly, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Same age as me now.
While recalling the photos, he heard the sound of keys turning from the door of the house. Li Guirong came back alone, looking exhausted again, cursing Yu Hui: "I think he was out with wild girls and didn't know who he was. He knelt down in the cemetery and cried. It took a long time to realize that he was crying." Wrong grave."
Yu Ran asked: "Then you didn't stop him?"
"Why should I stop him? I'll let his mother see what he's doing right now in the sky." Li Guirong panted heavily, "I'm so pissed off, meeting your father once will mean losing a year of my life."
She went back to the house alone and stayed quietly for a long time. After her emotions eased, she came out to talk to her two sons.
"Yu Jin, did you fall in love early this semester?" Li Guirong asked, "Let me tell you, you can't find a wife at this age. You can't tell if a person is smart or stupid. You are all as stupid as your own father, so don't worry." Go out and cheat other girls."
The two brothers agreed repeatedly.
Yu Jin asked her directly: "Are you two still separated?"
Li Guirong sighed and waved her hands without answering.
She was too lazy to explain to the children that "emotion" had a shelf life, but it was a pity to throw it away like an overnight meal. She has been with Yu Hui for most of her life. She was astonished when she was young, because she had too little knowledge. Now that she has awakened, she is still willing to spend like this. I don't know who she is competing with.
She simply didn't want to think about it, and seeing Yu Ran reading and writing, she felt a lot relieved: "You have worked hard these few days, isn't the exam coming soon?"
"The exam is over."
"Okay, work hard." Li Guirong finally smiled, and gently stroked Yu Ran's hair, "I will get into a good university in the future, and I will ask my colleagues what majors are popular now."
Yu Ran didn't speak, and wrote the question quietly.
After his mother went out, Yu Jin asked in a low voice, "You haven't told mom that you want to study art."
"No rush, we'll talk about it later." Yu Ran put on his earphones and carried his notes with his head down.
The three-day Ching Ming holiday passed in a hurry, and when school started again, the monthly exam results were announced.
"162" is Yu Ran's grade ranking. Although he has made great progress compared to before, he still has a significant gap from the experimental class's score line. This means that he must double his ranking in the next few exams, otherwise he will not be able to rise Average score for the year.
Yu Ran finally discovered that it turned out that the test for the experimental class was much more difficult than he imagined, and the knowledge in high school was not as easy to understand as in junior high school. His luck in the high school test may not be met again.
"Chu Mian..." Yu Ran turned around and lay down on Chu Mian's table in a little frustration, "Why don't I go up the mountain to worship Buddha."
When Chu Mian was most troubled by sleeping sickness before, he passed the exam with more than 100 grades. He clearly remembered how much hard work he had put in to get back to the upper reaches. But he didn't want to put too much pressure on Yu Ran, so he just said softly "Come on".
After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and pinched Yu Ran's face, feeling the soft touch that he had not seen for a long time.
Just as Chu Mian let go of her fingertips, her hand was suddenly held by Yu Ran.
He saw the bright smile on Yu Ran's face again, looked at himself firmly, and said heartily: "For you, I will."
The three words "for you" are so lethal, Chu Mian didn't even care about being held by Yu Ran, and looked at each other hastily, and then a joy spread in her heart.
In some moments, Chu Mian almost concluded that Yu Ran treated him differently from others.
I seem to be... really the more important one.
"Yeah." Chu Mian didn't say much, the corners of her mouth tensed up, and she held Yu Ran's palm with her backhand.
He was cherishing this moment, when Yu Ran suddenly said "Hey", quickly pressed the back of his hand to the table, and then shouted brashly: "I win!"
Chu Mian stared at the hands of the two in a daze, without the subtle beauty just now, more like breaking the wrist once.
... I was still the one who lost.
