A fine layer of sweat oozed from Chu Mian's forehead, her consciousness was in a semi-chaotic state, and the only clear cognition was that "Yu Ran was hugging herself".
This time, Yu Ran didn't suddenly run over and hang on to him, but buried his head in his chest docilely, with both arms tightly wrapped around his waist, his movements were extremely dependent.
"Look, he's just so dangerous." Yu Ran was furious because of self-blame, but he didn't let go of Chu Mian, he just raised his head and lightly bumped Chu Mian's body.
Chu Mian's heart beat faster after being hit by him, her hands had no place to rest, she said a little dullly, "It doesn't seem to be very dangerous."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ran raised his face and asked, "Really? I can't control him now."
Through the thin layer of clothing, Chu Mian could feel the temperature of Yu Ran's chin, he quickly turned his face away, and said, "No, it's fine if you don't control it."
"You are so magnanimous, no wonder the demon in my body is after you." Yu Ran had mixed feelings, he was moved by the warmth between brothers, so he recovered his reason smoothly, and put the "devil" that broke out just now. Repressed back to the bottom of my heart.
He let go of his arms, ending this warm embrace.
Chu Mian's skin was already scorching hot, and his cheeks were rosy and pale, so swollen that he wanted to apply ice immediately, "Yu Ran, let's go eat ice cream."
"Ok"
The two walked out of the teaching building side by side. Although the evening sun was not too harsh, Chu Mian decisively opened the parasol to block the ultraviolet rays above their heads.
Yu Ranxia would rather suffer from heatstroke than open an umbrella. He has always felt that boys are not enough to shade the sun, but at this moment, his thinking completely overturns Chu Mian’s umbrella. , but the sky above his head was propped up by Chu Mian's umbrella
"You don't want to lift it anymore, let me lift it." Yu Ran was elated, and grabbed the handle of the umbrella to shade the two of them.
Instead of going to the store to buy two popsicles, Chu Mian took Yu Ran to a taxi to find a Haagen-Dazs in the mall. The air-conditioning in the store was sufficient, and the body temperature of the two people who had been burned by the air quickly dropped.
"I wrote you an English test outline." Chu Mian took out a piece of A4 paper from her school bag, "I think the content of today's test was changed according to the question types at the end of the mid-term, and I guess tomorrow's subjects will be the same. "
Yu Ran turned over the page and saw that the back was full of drafts of math solutions, and asked in surprise, "You wrote this during the exam just now."
"Well, anyway, there is more than an hour left after finishing the math, so I'll help you sort it out."
"Aren't you asleep?"
"I took medicine before the exam." Chu Mian's mouth was still stained with unmelted butter, "You go back tonight and memorize these phrases and sentence patterns, and it's best to memorize the composition as well."
Yu Ran nodded hurriedly.
The ice cream tasted creamy and extremely cool, and the lips of both of them became redder after a while, as full as fresh cherries. When he opened his mouth to speak, his teeth were a little numb.
Chu Mian never asked Yu Ran how he felt about today's exam. He was afraid of getting a negative answer from the other party. Before the result of class placement was officially announced, he didn't want to imply that the two of them might be separated. This option was not within his expectation.
Before returning home, Chu Mian stopped Yu Ran and said solemnly, "When school starts again, I must see you in class."
Because he took the matter so seriously, his tone sounded less like encouragement than warning.
Yu Ran was completely unaware of the reluctance on his face, and he promised Chu Mian incoherently, "Well, I won't let you go, just wait and give it to me."
Yu Ran, who made up his mind, had ten times and a hundred times more stamina and tenacity than usual, and was fearless in the face of bible-like English. After entering the house, he didn't even eat snacks, and concentrated on reciting vocabulary at the table.
Seeing that he brought back so many birthday presents, Yu Jin urged him to quickly unwrap them, but Yu Ran was so disturbed that he could only take out Chu Mian's presents. The white gift box was tied with two red ribbons, and when the lid was lifted, a magic wand with a black crystal embedded in the top lay inside.
The instruction manual in both Chinese and English reads "The alder wand is not easy to bend, suitable for wizards who are helpful, warm, considerate and understanding."
"It's so handsome, my God." Yu Jin's eyes lit up, and he was immediately attracted by this rare and rare item, "This, this Voldemort can't even use it bro, can you use it to cast spells?"
This was an unexpected surprise for Yu Ran. He longed for too many things, such as Digimon's divine plan, Ace's burnt fruit, Muto Yuki's thousand-year-old building blocks, and this magic wand from the magical world was exactly what he dreamed of. one.
In other words, Chu Mian helped him realize a dream.
Yu Ran held the wand carefully for a few minutes, then put it back into the box and put it away, unwilling to touch it more. Chu Mian also sent a greeting card together. The card was made into the style of a Hogwarts invitation letter and used to write birthday wishes
"Muggle Burning, I guess you will never learn magic in your life, but it's good to be an ordinary person, so the chance of you destroying the world is much smaller."
"Happy birthday."
Yu Ran's eyes scanned these lines of elegant handwriting repeatedly, and he couldn't help laughing out loud. A few seconds after the card was closed, he couldn't help but open it and read it again.
Sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, Yu Jin snorted disdainfully when he saw his brother's foolish appearance, and said, "Brother, I also prepared something good for you, do you want to see it or not?"
"Don't look, get out."
"It also has something to do with brother Chu Mian."
Only then did Yu Ran raise his head, "What?"
Yu Jin smiled mysteriously, got out of bed and turned on the computer to log in to QQ, opened an ord file for Yu Ran, and introduced, "I asked my deskmate to write an article for you and brother Chu Mian, so that you can use it for fun. Hehe, don't thank me , This is what my brother should do."
Yu Ran looked at the screen curiously, and got up word by word. The title is Falling in Love with the Demonic Young Master, with Yu Ran as the male protagonist, written in the first person. The story begins with "Yu Ran" being promoted to an aristocratic academy, having conflicts with the school boss "Chu Mian", and being forced to become the other party's follower.
"Yes, yes, Chu Mian really looks like this." Yu Ran sighed while watching, he was indifferent to the development of the plot, and all his attention was on the author's portrayal of Chu Mian. What are "misty and lazy peach blossom eyes", "sexy thin lips like rose petals", "gloomy and unruly like a god of death standing against the light", Yu Ran slapped the table excitedly when he saw it.
However, as the content deepened, the male protagonist "Yu Ran" was quickly pressed against the wall by the wealthy school girl "Chu Mian" and kissed forcefully. "Chu Mian" took him to Provence to propose, and Yu Ran was dumbfounded; before he could recall the changes in the protagonist's relationship, the plot unexpectedly developed to the point where the two took a bath together.
Scrolling down the page, the documentation has come to an end.
"Brother, how is it? Does it look good? If you are satisfied, I will ask her to continue writing."
Yu Ran stared at the document with blank pages, and his brain went blank. He was stunned for half a minute, and then sharply refused, "Don't give me this kind of thing again after you don't read it."
Yu Jin pushed him, "What are you doing, it wasn't you who watched with gusto just now"
"I have a critical eye." Yu Ran plausibly said, "This kind of thing is a poisonous weed that needs to be eradicated."
He quickly dragged the mouse to delete the document.
Yu Jin was not convinced, "What poisonous weed, I think you scold the cook even when you're full."
Yu Ran blushed while being filled with righteous indignation, and said, "All poisonous things are addictive."
Yu Jin helplessly raised his forehead and looked up at the sky, "Brother, you are hopelessly hopeless."
After Yu Ran deleted the document, he inexplicably started to get angry with himself. To be precise, he was competing with the "demon" in his body, and "he" was not allowed to have shameless thoughts about Chu Mian. If you must have it, then wait until the division is over.
He carefully reviewed the outline listed by Chu Mian until late at night, and only went to bed after he had recited the English phrases proficiently. In the summer night, there is only the noisy sound of cicadas, and the ears can get used to it after listening for a long time.
It rained heavily the next day, and the students didn't stay after the exam, so they took the time to go home.
There are very few summer homework this semester, and Chu Mian has already finished all of them, and is now previewing the biology textbook for the second year of high school. He would glance at his phone every half hour to check for any missed messages. It stands to reason that after the exam, Yu Ran should have contacted him endlessly like before, but so far, there hasn't been a single text message.
It was raining heavily outside, and Chu Mian was worried that something might happen to him on the way, so he took the initiative to send a message, "Did you get a taxi?"
Unexpectedly, Yu Ran quickly replied "Yes", apparently in normal condition, but didn't say anything else.
Chu Mian waited patiently for a few minutes, but there was no more movement from Yu Ran, so he had to put down his phone and continue studying.
After a while, the phone rang, and Chu Mian answered without hesitation, but was disappointed when she found out that it was Cui He's voice.
Cui He came to him to ask for tickets to the meeting of the aceon boy group. If he wanted to receive VV-level treatment, Chu Mian had to tell his father. Chu Mian agreed to her straightforwardly, and Cui He, out of gratitude, said without hesitation, "Do you want me to help you catch up with Yu Ran?"
Such direct words made Chu Mian a little at a loss as to what to do, she held the phone in silence for a few seconds, and refused, "No need."
He originally meant "I don't want to chase", but Cui He understood that he was confident and didn't need other people's help.
"Yo, so self-confidence must have already yielded results." Cui He looked at his fingernails boredly, "How far have you two progressed? Does he know that you like him?"
Chu Mian subconsciously wanted to refute, but was at a loss for words.
He was sure in his heart that he liked Yu Ran, but he never admitted it to anyone. Even though Cui He knew the secret, when she asked, Chu Mian's first reaction was to avoid answering.
Cui He sensed that he was silent because he was shy, so he asked in another way, "Do you think Yu Ran is interested in you? Let me tell you what I think as a bystander. He must have it."
"I don't know." Chu Mian said in a muffled voice.
This time he didn't evade, he really didn't know the answer. Sometimes Yu Ran cares about him to an unreasonable degree, and often has unimaginable actions, but if the reason behind these actions is "like", then Chu Mian thinks that Yu Ran should have confessed a long time ago, and it is impossible to beat him around the bush.
After all, judging from the level of brain development, Yu Ran has no idea what "playing hard to get" is.
"You don't know that line, assuming he's interested in you." Cui He said, "Are you planning to strike first, or are you going to accept or refuse?"
Chu Mian didn't think about it, and replied flatly, "I don't intend to be with Yu Ran."
Cui He: "Ha, you are sick"
"Because this is good now, there is no unnecessary trouble, and it will not affect learning."
Chu Mian finished speaking in a hurry, feeling a little lacking in confidence.
Cui He sighed on the phone, "What are you talking about, I don't understand you. If you like someone, would you not want to kiss or hug him? If you only want to be friends, how can you do this kind of thing?"
Chu Mian clenched her fists unconsciously, and told her righteously, "This kind of thing is unnecessary."
Cui He laughed after hearing this, and yelled loudly, "I'm a modern person living in 2013. I don't want to kiss anyone I like. Why are you going to hug Plato?"
As soon as Chu Mian heard the word "hug", she automatically thought of the scene where Yu Ran suddenly jumped into his arms yesterday. He doesn't know whether this hug has other meanings, but based on what he knows about Ran, it seems to be just an excessive performance of "the demon can't be sealed and escapes to absorb human power".
Even so, the lingering warmth from that time still remained in his chest, whenever he thought of Yu Ran, the scorching heat would respread across his skin and boil in his blood at a slow speed.
"I've considered this for a long time." Chu Mian said calmly, "Compared with our personal feelings, our respective futures are more important. There are some things that can be discussed after graduation. If something affects your studies, then I think it's better to do it first." Better to put them down."
Cui He was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "You can let go of this."
Chu Mian stopped talking.
He really can't let go of the feeling of liking someone, not only that, but the feeling is becoming clearer and flourishing in the hot season.
The last page of "Everything Baa Baa Likes" is filled with Yu Ran's name, and the latest one reads "He hugged me, on his sixteenth birthday."
After finishing talking with Cui He, Chu Mian continued to wait for Yu Ran's call, just like a fox waiting alone in the wheat field for the arrival of the little prince. Time passed, but the figure was still missing, and the waiting mood gradually turned from anticipation to indifference.
A day passed, and it was rare that Yu Ran didn't take the initiative to contact him.
Chu Mian didn't care too much, thinking that Yu Ran would definitely show up early tomorrow.
But when the next day came, Yu Ran's number was still quietly lying in the address book, showing no signs of activity.
Chu Mian confirmed the excessively hot QQ online status and the frequency of chatting, everything is normal, but she didn't contact herself alone. Not knowing how long this abnormal situation would last, Chu Mian chose to wait patiently.
However, a few days passed, Yu Ran was basically silent to him, except that he couldn't bear to take the initiative to send him a message.
Chu Mian was not used to it, because Yu Ran used to call him all the time, often more than once a day, and he was used to it at certain time slots, but recently he couldn't wait for a long time. After thinking about it, Chu Mian came to the conclusion that Yu Ran should be just playing around, not thinking about him.
Although Chu Mian would be a little disappointed, she could understand it, so she didn't care about it.
On the day when the placement test rankings were announced, every student's parent received a text message from the class teacher, which clearly stated the student's new semester's class and precautions.
Chu Mian became the number one in the science experiment class without any suspense, and he was more concerned about Yu Ran's grades than himself. If everything goes well, I will be the first to congratulate; if it is not satisfactory, then I will be the first to comfort you.
The class qq group has exploded, and the class leader sent out a grade ranking form, and everyone chatted about it in full swing. Chu Mian opened the ranking list, looked down one by one, and looked for Yu Ran's name.
The first fifty didn't show up, and Chu Mian was so nervous that her heartbeat fluttered. Sixty, seventy finally, he found Yu Ran's name at the seventy-fourth place.
Chu Mian breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the bed, and took the initiative to call Yu Ran.
As soon as I dialed, the other party answered.
Yu Ran was obviously very excited, even the first "Hello" was lost, but he coughed twice as if pretending to be calm, restraining his joy.
Anyway, now that the dust has settled, Chu Mian didn't mention the class division, but asked a more curious question, "What have you been up to these days, it seems that nothing has happened."
Yu Ran said vaguely, "I'm busy growing up"
"What?" Chu Mian narrowed her eyes, "Is it increased?"
Yu Ran shook his head at the phone, explaining, "It's to make myself more sensible."
Chu Mian thought about it and asked, "Why are you so ignorant?"
After asking, he himself took the lead in whispering in his heart, "It's really ignorant".
Yu Ran tried his best to organize his words, and replied, "I used to call you as soon as I missed you, and I didn't even think about whether you would answer it or not, which took up a lot of your time; so if I miss you now, I just bear with it." , when I can't bear it anymore, I'll hit you again."
Chu Mian was speechless, he thought that Yu Ran didn't miss him at all these days.
"You don't have to bear it anymore, you can call if you want in the future." Chu Mian said, "I mean the phone."
"Is it still the same as before?"
"Yeah." Chu Mian said firmly, "You still have a lot of bedtime stories to tell."
After being allowed to make phone calls as he wished, Yu Ran laughed contentedly, his voice was transmitted to the other party's ear through the electric current, looking a little silly.
Chu Mian said solemnly, "You are still in class next semester, you did it, Yu Ran."
Regarding this matter, Yu Ran was not too excited, but rather calm as expected. As early as the day he and Chu Mian agreed to take the experimental class, he only allowed himself to have one result. Before the exam, he went all out to review without slack, and he didn't even make mental preparations for failing the exam.
Even just once, he didn't want to imagine what it would be like to be separated from Chu Mian.
Chu Mian recalled Yu Ran's test scores a year ago, and said with relief, "From the top 300 in the grade to the top 80, the real review time is only one month, which shows that you have great potential, Yu Ran."
"Really?" Yu Ran still felt that he didn't know anything about learning, and he could make rapid progress only with a strong enough motivation, "Because you must be in the experimental class, Chu Mian."
"I haven't taught you much before."
"As long as you're here." Yu Ran said seriously, "Although I don't have super powers, with you, I can do anything."
After Chu Mian heard this, her body almost limp on the bed. He lost his voice, and found that a brand new mood was gradually waking up in his consciousness
want to have him.
