Chu Mian clenched her fists, telling herself repeatedly not to be rough.
He frowned and asked seriously: "Yu Ran, have you ever been followed?"
"No, what's the matter?"
Chu Mian shook her head, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "It's nothing, I just feel that you are easy to be assassinated, so be careful in the future."
The hotel quickly delivered brand new quilts and pillows, Yu Ran played "Master of Rhythm" on the bed, and Chu Mian stood at the door of the room waiting for the two "massage masters". Not long after, the two ladies in short skirts and heavy make-up came, with a very hospitable attitude. He blushed immediately and apologized, gave them a few hundred dollars in a hurry, and sent the two of them to leave quickly.
Yu Ran turned his head to look at him strangely, "You don't want someone to massage you? After this village, there will be no more shops. If you cry tired again later, I won't care about you!"
Chu Mian sat on the edge of the bed and pressed Yu Ran to the back of her neck, her tone seemed to be a warning: "In the future, all advertisements, flyers, text messages and calls from strangers on your mobile phone should be ignored, understand?"
Yu Ran nodded inexplicably, Chu Mian pushed his head hard again, and finally calmed down.
Chu Mian was too hasty before going out, so she packed her luggage again. Yu Ran took off his sweater and put on only a black vest. After washing, he lay down on the bedside to observe Chu Mian. Seeing that he took out several books from the box and put them beside the bed, Yu Ran moved over to look at the cover.
"What is this, a bedtime story?" Yu Ran tapped the hardcover book cover twice, and he opened it only after getting Chu Mian's permission. The whole book is in English, and there are some uncommon words that he couldn't translate, so he asked Chu Mian to read them to himself.
When Chu Mian was also lying on the bed, Yu Ran tucked into the quilt and lay on his side. He usually hates listening to English so much, but now listening to Chu Mian's fluent and standard voice is a kind of enjoyment, perhaps because the tone of the young man in front of him is more gentle. .
When Chu Mian finished reading a long paragraph, Yu Ran applauded even if he didn't understand: "It's great! You usually read this kind of foreign books? Are you not tired?"
"This is the only book I've read in its entirety, and it was given to me by my mother when I was in elementary school." Chu Mian pinched the corner of the page and flipped it lightly. This "little prince" is not his favorite book, but the fox in it is his favorite story character, stable and tolerant.
Staying by Yu Ran's side, his spirit was already relaxed, and he said everything he thought of: "I thought it was meaningless for her to give me this book, so I spent a month looking it up while looking up words, and I also searched for a lot of other people on the Internet. I read it in my post-reading reflections, just to understand the story."
"... But when I held the book and wanted to communicate with her, she told me that she gave me this book just to let me learn English well."
At the end, Chu Mian smiled helplessly.
Lying beside him, Yu Ran stared straight at the soft light on his side face, and asked, "What's the meaning of that passage you read just now?"
Chu Mian turned back to that page and easily translated into Chinese: "'To me, you are nothing more than a child, no different from thousands of other children, I don't need you, and you don't need me; yes To you, I'm nothing more than a fox, no different from thousands of other foxes, but if you tame me, then we'll need each other...'"
You are unique to me and I am unique to you.
—He paused for a moment and didn't read the last sentence.
Even if it was just a line, he felt that such romantic words were not suitable for speaking to Ran.
Yu Ran turned over, lay down in the same posture as Chu Mian, and asked curiously, "When you were young, did your mother read you stories in Chinese or in foreign languages?"
Chu Mian hardly needed to recall, "She never read a story to me."
"Then how did she coax you to sleep?" Yu Ran was surprised. He once pestered Li Guirong to read "Snow White" seven times in a row, and finally forced his mother to beat him before he would sleep obediently. Had a similar experience.
"She never coaxed me to sleep." Chu Mian replied truthfully. Before he started elementary school, he spent most of his time with his teacher, while Ye Zhihan only concentrated on his own life, often spending an afternoon doing hair and nails, but he didn't want to devote more energy to his son.
Yu Ran thought for a while, then asked again: "Then don't you cry? I always cried loudly on purpose when I was a child, and asked my mother to play with me."
Chu Mian shook his head hesitantly. In his impression, he hadn't cried much since he could remember. It wasn't because he was strong enough to bear it, but because the environment he grew up in didn't allow him to use crying to attract the attention of adults. Chu Yu is very busy with his career and has no time to pay attention to him; and Ye Zhihan doesn't want to play the role of mother, she just wants to be a woman with a free life.
He must be well-behaved and independent, so that the elders will praise him when they have time.
Yu Ran collapsed on the pillow and sighed lazily: "Your mother is as good-looking as you, but I don't think she looks like you at all."
The corners of Chu Mian's lips curled up, and she said slowly, "Well, her creed in life is to maintain her elegance at all times, and no one can hinder her. I suspect that the most embarrassing day in her life... was when I was born."
He raised his hand to close the English book and put it on the bedside table.
Yu Ran stared at his bony fingers, "Then have you ever ridden on your father's back?"
"No, neither of them have time to care about me." Chu Mian said lightly, stretched her arms and turned off the master light control, and the room was plunged into darkness.
When he retracted and lay down, Yu Ran suddenly grabbed his shoulders and felt the breath of the other person who was close at hand.
"Don't be afraid, I will take care of you for them." Yu Ran hugged Chu Mian's head, comforting him softly, "I will be your reborn parents from now on."
The newly ignited sense of dependence in Chu Mian's heart was fleeting again, but he did not push away Yu Ran's embrace, but just smiled and said, "Don't take advantage of me".
Yu Ran didn't take the initiative to let go. He even stroked Chu Mian's hair and asked him, "What fairy tale do you want to hear now? I'll tell you."
Chu Mian was a little surprised, and thought about it seriously, "Gulliver's Travels."
"Won't."
"The Wizard of Oz?"
"No."
Before the words finished, the two laughed together, Chu Mian lightly pinched him on the back, "I don't think you know anything, but you still insist on showing off with me."
"Oh, I'll read more when I get home, and I'll tell you every day after I remember it, and I'll tell you when you wake up. But let's talk about it first, I'll tell the same story again!" Yu Ran said While talking, she unconsciously hugged Chu Mian even tighter, "One day I will make up for what your parents owe you."
Chu Mian's smile deepened, but the temperature of her eye sockets also rose, and then her internal organs were all affected by the warmth.
He has adapted to loneliness very early, so he never felt that he cared much about his parents' company, until Yu Ran said the word "ow", his body suddenly released those grievances as if he had received a safety order.
Then he realized that what Yu Ran wanted to give him was those favors that he had never received before.
"Yu Ran," Chu Mian closed her eyes, and simply approached him, "Are you always concerned about whether others are not tired?"
"Huh? It's okay, not to mention you are no one else." Yu Ran answered logically, "You are my best friend, shouldn't I care about you?"
Chu Mian opened her eyes in the darkness, her breath wandering through Ran's chest.
He couldn't help but ask, "'Best friend'?"
"Yes."
Chu Mian took a deep breath, feeling more relaxed than ever before, and continued to probe: "Why me?"
"Because..." Yu Ran opened his mouth, but was at a loss for words.
The air fell into silence, only the slight breathing of the two of them was about to close.
Why do you think Chu Mian is your best friend? Yu Ran was dull for a long time, but he didn't answer the exact reason.
He gently stroked Chu Mian's hair with his fingers, and blurted out with a blank mind: "There is no reason, I said yes."
"Okay." Chu Mian smiled lightly, "Then you are also to me."
Yu Ran was very happy to hear that, and didn't ask him why, but just kept patting him on the shoulder to express his joy.
Chu Mian could smell the scent of shower gel in Yu Ran's arms, so he quietly moved closer.
In the story of "The Little Prince", the fox waits for the little prince to come at four o'clock every afternoon, and will be very happy from three o'clock; Chu Mian also comes to the classroom every morning, from the moment he opens his eyes , will begin to look forward to.
I hope that when I walk forward, he will take the initiative to follow up again; I hope that when he tilts his head to talk to others, I can secretly look at his side face; I hope that after I fall asleep, I will wake up from his arms... Original Yu Ran and others Thousands of boys are no different, but he is already a fox tamed by him.
Therefore, Yu Ran is unique.
Therefore, "like" is also inevitable.
In the dim room, the bodies of the two teenagers cuddled together and slept soundly. From night to day, the warm quilts overlapped unknowingly, and the soft pillows were quietly joined together.
By the time the next day's sun leaked from under the curtains, one of the white quilts had fallen to the floor. Chu Mian's throat was very dry, her arms crossed without touching Yu Ran's body, and she vaguely heard the sound of him brushing his teeth in the bathroom.
First there was a "gurgling" in the mouth, then a violent cough for half a minute, and finally angrily cursed in a low voice, and turned on the faucet to rinse his mouth.
Chu Mian tries to open her eyes, sits up and wakes up for a nap. After the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, he got out of bed and walked in, just in time to bump into Yu Ran who came out.
The other party had just washed his face, there were still drops of water on his hair, and his eyes were not very energetic. He lowered his head and knocked on his shoulder, and then lazily left with his slippers on.
Chu Mian stared at Yu Ran's back, her mind was completely clear.
The heartbeat warning from the left chest was not an illusion caused by the touch last night; it was half past twelve in the morning, and I was miraculously enchanted by this Muggle—
From now on I have to like him.
