After the beginning of summer, the temperature in Ronggang continued to rise, reaching a maximum of 28 degrees Celsius. The dense green trees seem to be covered with a layer of white air, and the shade is always a little damp, as if absorbing people's restlessness.
"I'm so stupid, really. I only know that running in the corridor will cause you to fall, but I don't know how cute you can be."
Yu Ran was lying on the table in grief, and the cool wind blew from the window and got into his wide school uniform cuffs, "As soon as I rang the bell, I ran back to the classroom with my cute dog. I just took a bite and didn't pay attention. Too bad it's already lying on the ground. Everyone says I'm not worth it. After class, I'm still lying on the ground, and I'm still holding on to the corner of the package... "
Fang Zhao was attracted by his sad voice of remorse, and turned to remind him: "The team leader has come to collect the money, Mrs. Xianglin, have you brought it?"
Yu Ran raised his head and glanced sadly, "What money?"
"Chemistry papers, one hundred and two, to be used before the exam."
"Why are broken papers so expensive..." Yu Ran muttered in a low voice, straightened up, found that the extra money in his wallet was only one hundred, and turned his head naturally, "Chu Mian, lend me twenty."
Yu Ran often forgets to ask Li Guirong for tuition and miscellaneous fees. Every time he borrows from Chu Mian, Fang Zhao ridiculed him as "like asking his father for pocket money". Cui He's seat was near them. Hearing what Fang Zhao said, she secretly observed Chu Mian's face.
The boy was as calm as ever, with an expressionless face, obviously he didn't want to pay attention to Fang Zhao's joke.
The chemistry exam is due next month, and as soon as the self-study class arrives, Yu Ran leans over to listen to Chu Mian sorting out his notes. But he was not concentrating on it. Occasionally, his thoughts strayed away, and he interrupted Chu Mian's explanation: "What? Say what you just said again."
Chu Mian repeated: "Carbon and carbon can form a single bond—"
Yu Ran suddenly laughed, Chu Mian didn't know why. After he had laughed enough, he explained: "'Carbon carbon' sounds like a nickname for carbon atom, and carbon atom looks like a Japanese."
Chu Mian was a little infected by his laughter, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Listen quickly, don't be distracted, and memorize the formula for calculating the molar volume of gas first."
Yu Ran didn't do what he said, and asked, "Chu Mian, what's your nickname?"
Chu Mian avoided answering, the tip of the pen marked the key points in the notebook, and continued to explain the chemistry knowledge. Yu Ran pressed the question twice, but did not get a response from Chu Mian, so he could only bow his head and listen carefully.
In fact, Chu Mian is not good at lecturing. He has unique problem-solving skills that others may not be able to understand, so he can only tear apart each test site and slowly instill it into Yu Ran's narrow mind. Yu Ran always nodded, Chu Mian was afraid that he was being perfunctory, so she asked him to do a few questions first, and then show it to herself.
There was not much noise in the classroom, and the students were writing their homework when they heard someone whispering to themselves in the class.
"... If the reactants increase to two moles, these things will remain the same, um, that's right." Yu Ran stared at the exercise book and thought about it, unconsciously speaking out the thoughts in his mind, completely unaware of the people around him They all looked sideways at themselves, "D is also right, I chose the wrong question... Hey, let's take a sneak peek at the answer, anyway Chu Mian doesn't know..."
Chu Mian frowned and stared at his back.
"The correct answer is here!" Yu Ran looked at it curiously, "'There is no answer to this question'? Fuck, what question did you ask without an answer!"
He muttered indignantly, making nearby classmates laugh.
"But it's the same as my judgment, heh, it's really Yu Ran." He twitched one corner of his mouth triumphantly, turned to the next page, and continued writing the question.
Chu Mian sat behind and sighed with a faint smile.
The temperature in the afternoon reached its peak today, and many people couldn't eat hot meals, so they went to buy cold noodles and iced sour plum soup from the cart vendors outside through the school railing. Yu Ran is more able to enjoy it, and directly finds a way to get someone to send in a huge watermelon, the peel is still cold.
He carried the watermelon back to the classroom to show off for a while, only to realize that he forgot to buy a knife, and he couldn't break it open with a heavy object, otherwise the fruit would splash everywhere.
The watermelons are placed at the back of the classroom, with two layers of newspapers underneath. Yu Ran pondered for a while, took advantage of no one's attention, quickly took a stride, angrily slammed his dantian down with his bare hands—
Undoubtedly failed, his palm hurt, and he was too embarrassed to yell.
Fortunately, Fang Zhao thought of a way: "Use my spoon, poke it open bit by bit, and it will be broken when the crack is bigger."
Yu Ran thought it was worth a try, so he and Fang Zhao squatted at the back of the classroom, took turns to fight with stainless steel spoons, and finally cut open the thick melon rind with all their might.
Cui He got impatient waiting to eat watermelon, went to the canteen and bought several packs of hair ties and came back, and told them: "Do you have any knowledge of physics? Put them all on and tie them in the same position in the middle."
The two did as she said. Dozens of strong hair ropes tightly strangled the watermelon until the bell rang at the end of the lunch break. They were still working on this work, but upon closer inspection, the watermelon had turned into a An ellipse is formed.
Just as Yu Ran wanted to take a picture with his mobile phone, he heard a crisp cracking sound, and the watermelon suddenly split into two irregular halves, which startled him.
"Hold on, it's about to explode again," Cui He said.
As soon as the words fell, the half of the watermelon tied with the hair rope split again, and the flesh almost rolled out of the newspaper. Yu Ran was overjoyed, now they can easily slice with a spoon, and have a quick meal before class.
Chu Mian spent his lunch break in the office asking questions, and when he came back, Yu Ran picked out the one closest to the flesh of the melon and presented it to him, "I keep it for you!"
Chu Mian saw a circle of light red watermelon juice on Yu Ran's lips, she shook her head and refused.
"Why, this one has the fewest seeds, it's very cold and sweet." Yu Ran followed, "You don't like watermelon?"
"I don't want to get it all over my face like you did." Chu Mian said casually, looking at the back of the classroom, there were still a few people squatting on the floor and gnawing watermelon forgetfully, the sound of teeth biting the crisp flesh came and went, very clear .
Chu Mian's obsession with cleanliness suddenly rose to a spiritual level, and she quickly shook her head and looked away.
Yu Ran understood that Chu Mian originally cared about the image, squatting on the ground to eat is really not elegant, so next time he should ask the vendor to cut it into pieces in advance, and it is best to remove some of the seeds.
"Yu Ran, hurry up and eat the rest, it's time for class!" Fang Zhao raised his head and urged him, the ground was already in a mess. Yu Ran agreed, but still went to the bathroom to wash his face first, making sure he was clean before appearing in Chu Mian's field of vision.
The class bell rang, and a few people hurriedly cleaned up the ground and cleaned it up with a mop. Before the teacher came, Fang Zhao rushed into the bathroom with a spoon to wash it. He still had the last piece of watermelon in his hand, and he stuffed it into his mouth, heartily.
Bai Yuzhu came in and found that there were few students in the class, and asked, "Where is Fang Zhao?"
Yu Ran actively told her: "Go to the toilet to eat!"
Not long after, Fang Zhao came back, holding a spoon in his hand, and wiping his mouth eagerly.
Bai Yuzhu snorted and said, "Hey, eating in the toilet is quite satisfying."
The students roared with laughter, Fang Zhao was at a loss, but when he saw Yu Ran laughing hard, he immediately understood that he must have taken the lead in saying bad things about himself.
In summer, Yu Ran likes to eat ice and sweet things. He ate enough watermelon at noon, and took Chu Mian to the newsstand to buy ice cream after school in the afternoon. A pity for a chance to enjoy.
Yu Ran tore off most of the wrapping paper, took out the cone, and directly bit off the bottom corner of the chocolate.
The order in which he ate it made Chu Mian feel novel, so he asked, "Do you like that piece of chocolate?"
Yu Ran nodded heavily.
Chu Mian thought for a second, then unwrapped the wrapping paper, carefully held the egg roll, handed it to Yu Ran, and said, "I don't like it, so I'll give it to you."
Yu Ran was very pleasantly surprised, opened his mouth unceremoniously and bit it off.
Chu Mian withdrew her hand, put Keiduo back into the paper cone, and ate the first bite of ice cream by herself. He raised his head and walked forward, suddenly his heart sank, and found that Cui He was standing in front of the newsstand holding the magazine he just bought, looking at the two of them with a half-smile.
Chu Mian immediately gave her a vigilant look, signaling her to leave quickly.
Yu Ran didn't notice Cui He, and was too busy talking to Chu Mian: "Then if you buy more cute ones in the future, let me share the pain of the sharp corner of the chocolate for you!"
The cream melted on the tip of Chu Mian's tongue and turned into sweet and greasy syrup, and he gave a muffled "hmm", agreeing to Yu Ran's request.
After arriving home, Chu Heng stopped him: "Baabaa, remember to go to the hospital for reexamination tomorrow afternoon, I have already made an appointment."
"Ok."
Chu Heng handed over a pitch-black leather notebook, "Here, you asked me to buy a new notebook that day, and it took a lot of effort to find a similar one! Isn't this the same as the one you used before, you still feel nostalgic."
"Thanks." Chu Mian took it and went back to the house contentedly.
It's not that he is nostalgic, it's just that something has been used for a long time to naturally produce feelings, and he will not get used to the new one. In addition to the laptop, he has also used the same type of headphones for two consecutive years, so that there will be no nuances in listening to the songs.
He sat down, opened the cover, and wrote a few powerful words on the title page with a black pen—everything Baa Baa likes.
This time he finally listened to Chu Heng's words and was willing to record some positive emotions, instead of trying to find faults like before.
[Everything I like]
1.
As the first rule of habit change, Chu Mian felt that it must be done seriously. Yu Ran's name first appeared in his mind, but after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't write it down.
Writing "Like Yu Ran" by hand is much more difficult than admitting "Like Yu Ran" in your heart. Thoughts can be covered up by other thoughts at any time, but once it falls on paper, it means that it is an indelible existence.
Just imagining Yu Ran's name appearing after the word "like", Chu Mian felt her heart go up and down.
Just as he was hesitating, the phone vibrated continuously, and it was Cui He's call.
Once connected, the girl smiled meaningfully: "Do you have something to tell me?"
"No."
"real?"
"..." Chu Mian pursed her lips and remained silent.
Cui He sighed in disappointment: "Okay, just come to me when you want to talk in the future."
"Wait a minute, I have something to do." Chu Mian called to stop her, "Tomorrow I will go to the hospital for a review, and I should not go to class. Please help me put away the homework that was handed out, and I will try to arrive late for self-study."
Cui He agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Mian stared at the page again in a daze, but finally closed the book without making up her mind.
The next day, the morning sun was dazzling, and the golden light was overflowing.
When the weather was hot, Yu Ran woke up early and arrived at school on time at seven o'clock for several consecutive days, leaving 20 minutes to make up homework. It was rare that Chu Mian was later than himself today, so he had no choice but to borrow the answers from others and copy them.
After a while, there were more and more people in the classroom, and Yu Ran checked from time to time whether Chu Mian was here, but every time he turned around, he saw empty tables and chairs.
It means that Ran has completed all the homework that should be handed in. The morning self-study is almost over, and Chu Mian is still absent. This can be called an abnormal situation. Yu Ran can't help but feel a little worried: "Did he fall asleep halfway?"
"It's okay, he's going to the hospital today." Cui He told him lightly.
After a few seconds, a novel idea suddenly popped up in her head, and she immediately told Yu Ran: "Don't send text messages to Chu Mian."
"why?"
"It will disturb him." Cui He said seriously.
Yu Ran wrote the letter, and resisted the idea of contacting Chu Mian, put away her phone and sat on the table to listen to the class. But after listening for a few minutes, he began to guess when Chu Mian would come.
—Chu Mian loves to study so much, so she should be here during the big breaks.
Yu Ran thought to himself, staring at the clock, expecting it to go to nine forty.
But after the recess exercises, Chu Mian's figure did not appear. Yu Ran returned to his seat with heavy steps, and even the mood of going to the canteen to buy jelly disappeared.
—It doesn't matter, Chu Mian will definitely come at noon.
Yu Ran believed in his own judgment again.
Today's time has become very slow, every minute and every second makes Yu Ran restless, and he often turns his head to talk habitually, but only sees the empty back seat.
After finally waiting for lunch, Yu Ran only felt hungry, but his appetite was a little bit lower. Just because he was silent for too long today, and his smile was obviously less, it was easy for others to sense that he was in a bad mood today, and asked the reason with concern.
"I don't know, I just can't get up and feel uncomfortable." Yu Ran replied truthfully, a little confused, "Could it be that my smile has become higher?"
Cui He was thoughtful.
Fang Zhao: "Would you like to go to the infirmary?"
"Which infirmary are you going to?" Cui He rolled his eyes, "It's okay, Yu Ran, you'll be fine during your evening self-study."
It doesn't mean that Ran opened his mouth, Fang Zhao doubted first: "How do you know? Did you drug Yu Ran?"
"Stupid, get lost." Cui He gave him a middle finger.
Yu Ran believed her words, cheered up a little, and went to the cafeteria window to buy chilled tomatoes mixed with sugar.
He thought, if Chu Mian came during his lunch break, he could just eat it. If you don't come, then eat for him yourself.
…
Unfortunately, the end result is the latter.
Yu Ran took out his phone repeatedly, but remembered that Cui He said that he could not disturb Chu Mian, so he gave up and ate the tomatoes mixed with sugar silently. This time, I ate very carefully, and did not rub the juice on my face.
Today, there is less Yu Ran's active atmosphere in the class, and many students feel that they are not used to it. The history teacher was even more keenly aware of the boy's weirdness, so he asked him tentatively first, "Yu Ran, did you wake up last class?"
Yu Ran forced a smile at him, "Brother Xuan, I have listened to everything."
"Oh, then why do you look so listless today?"
The teacher carefully observed his surroundings, and then joked, "Chu Mian didn't come, so you're lonely?"
Yu Ran was startled, he couldn't hear the snickering of his classmates, and he could only pretend to say one sentence——
Chu Mian didn't come, are you lonely
Yu Ran never realized that his lack of energy today could be explained by "loneliness". He only knew that every time he looked back, he saw that Chu Mian's seat was empty, and his body seemed to be empty too.
"Yeah!" Yu Ran nodded firmly and told the teacher, "I'm lonely!"
The teacher couldn't help laughing, and didn't know how to comfort this strange boy.
After Yu Ran figured out the reason for his depression, his state became a little clearer. After class, he grabbed a red lucky bag in his hand and sighed: "Oh, I specially exchanged twenty steel coins for Chu Mian to pay back the money."
Fang Zhao respected him in awe: "It turns out that you can't eat because you haven't paid back the money. You are so honest!"
Cui He came over and picked up the small red cloth bag in Yu Ran's hand, presumably it was used to hold wedding candy in the past.
She squinted at Yu Ran, "Yo, you cut it from the bellyband and sewed it."
Yu Ran asked, "Will Chu Mian come tomorrow?"
Seeing his depressed appearance, Cui He couldn't bear it. She didn't expect that a lie she said in the morning would have such a big impact on Yu Ran, but this should also directly confirm...
She couldn't help feeling nervous for Chu Mian.
"Have you finished the inspection? Come to the school quickly!" Cui He eagerly texted Chu Mian, "I will tell you a good news and a bad news in person."
Chu Mian quickly replied: "OK."
The re-examination process is actually very fast, and the inspection results can be delayed and sent to the home. Chu Mian went out of the hospital to take a taxi and drove directly to the school.
When he fast-forwarded to the teaching building, he texted Cui He. The girl ran out immediately, with a smile on her face, grabbed him and said, "Listen to the good news or the bad news first?"
"bad news."
"Yu Ran bought you tomatoes mixed with sugar today, but he ate them all for you when you didn't come."
Chu Mian smiled slightly, "What about the good news?"
"Guess for yourself."
Chu Mian glanced at her, without being annoyed, she walked into the back door of the classroom.
Yu Ran was lying on the table silently writing chemical equations, stuck for a long time, unable to remember the correct answer.
He was about to give up, but suddenly his neck felt cold, someone was covering the back of his neck.
"You ate my tomato?"
Yu Ran's first reaction was an auditory hallucination, but when he turned his head and saw the face that he had been thinking about today, he forgot how to express his feelings for a moment.
Even the smile was several beats slower, only the joy flowed from the eyes.
Chu Mian didn't change her school uniform when she came, she simply wore a pair of ripped jeans and a pure white T-shirt, which alone was enough to catch people's attention.
Fang Zhao couldn't help sighing beside him: "Such a plain white dress is worth two thousand on Chu Mian's body."
Cui He glanced at it: "It was originally two thousand."
"forget it… "
Yu Ran moved his lips and said, "I'll give you new tomatoes tomorrow."
He remembered that he still had money to pay, so he quickly took out the red lucky bag and stuffed it into Chu Mian's hand, and the twenty coins inside collided and jingled.
Cui He saw it and sneered, "Yu Ran, are you a fucking old lady who gave her fiancé a purse? Chu Mian, take a look, did he even embroider his name on it?"
Ye Xi was amused by Cui He's metaphor, and whispered, "Yu Ran is a cucumber boy."
Chu Mian's face was hot because of Cui He's teasing, he tightly clutched the small bag Yu Ran gave him, his face drooped, and the corners of his lips couldn't hold back his smile.
This kind of atmosphere alone is enough to satisfy him, and he didn't think of Cui He's good news for a long time. When everyone finally went back to their homes after school, Cui He finally couldn't bear it and took the initiative to call Chu Mian.
She cut to the chase: "Yu Ran has been thinking about you all day, and I miss you so much."
Cui He didn't bother to describe what state Yu Ran was in today, he just thought it would be easier for Chu Mian to understand the conclusion directly, and he could imagine the rest.
Chu Mian sat at the table without moving for a long time, waiting for her heartbeat to stabilize before turning to her notebook to write.
