Yu Ran has lived for sixteen years, and he has never been so complacent as he is now.
Being embraced by the person he likes and blessed by the people he knows well, this sense of satisfaction will make every second of his daily life flow happily. Opening your eyes is even more powerful to go to school.
"Lu Ziyao said you're 'blessed' before," Yu Ran recalled, "then I'm lucky!"
Yu Ran usually doesn't know how to control the volume of his speech, but he can always be heard clearly by the nearby classmates. They will deliberately ask in surprise, "What, Chu Mianxi is becoming a father?"
In the past, everyone teased the two of them, which was purely a natural ethos in the class. After all, the words and deeds between these two boys are too numerous to enumerate; There have been classmates like Lu Ziyao who have come out in the open for a long time, and everyone is no stranger to homosexuality.
This week, the group seats were rotated again, and Yu Ran chose to sit on the inner side of Chu Mian, close to the wall, which was suitable for taking a break in class. He often leans on Chu Mian's shoulder, peeks at the mobile phone video on the table in the front seat, and watches two episodes of the recently popular "Heirs" with Ye Xi. He felt that Korean dramas were boring, so he adjusted his gaze to watch "Where Are We Going, Dad" on Cui He's desk.
Cui Hezheng watched it with great interest, and sighed: "Little Zhang Tiantian is really amazing, he can use the word 'clear' to make sentences at only five years old."
Yu Ran picked up a test paper and waved it at her, and made a sentence: "Teacher, you see, I clearly gave it wrong!"
Cui He turned to stare at him, "Sixty bucks, get lost!"
She also covered the phone screen and refused to lend it to him.
Yu Ran had no choice but to look away, just about to talk to Chu Mian, when he found that the other party was looking down at the phone with a stern look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Mian shook her head slowly, left the classroom after class, and found a quiet place to make a phone call.
Usually only on special festivals, the father will take the initiative to contact him to care about each other's physical condition. Although the two don't talk much, their attitudes are very sincere when they communicate, and they don't deliberately hide anything.
So, when Chu Yu asked him if he was in a relationship at school, Chu Mian just hesitated for a few seconds, and then gave a muffled "hmm".
Chu Yu didn't hold any opinion on this, nor did he ask about the situation of his partner, but only told him to know how to measure. Chu Mian responded in a perfunctory manner, feeling a little conflicted in her heart. Her father seemed to think that he valued pleasure, but in fact he just didn't understand him.
Chu Mian asked, "Did my mother tell you?"
"Well. After she found out from your school, she has been waiting for you to take the initiative to tell her, but you just ignore her." Chu Yu smiled, "You show her face, and I have to coax her, really Will find something for me."
"Anyway, you're happy." Chu Mian said, "Also, I forgot to ask, when are you going to..."
Chu Yu interrupted him: "Forget about that, Chu Mian. There are many factors to consider, the most important of which is your feelings. You don't want any new members in your family, so we will maintain the status quo. "
When the class bell rang, Chu Mian didn't have time to talk, she just asked hastily, "Do you know why I don't want to?"
Chu Yu didn't answer, but listened quietly.
"You have always been a loving couple, and you have always been dereliction of duty parents." Chu Mian returned to the classroom while holding up the phone, "Even if I have a younger brother or younger sister, I don't believe that you two will really take care of him personally. It should be thrown directly to the babysitter. It feels like... game leveling, you can 'cultivate' a better account without any effort."
Chu Mian stopped at the door of the classroom and continued, "But even if you are trained, you don't know how to operate it. It's better to say that you are suitable for cheating than that you like to sit back and enjoy the benefits."
Chu Yu was breathing heavily and slowly on the phone. He had never heard his son talk to him so much in one breath, and he still expressed his dissatisfaction in an understatement tone. This surprised him, and he became interested because of it.
He asked Chu Mian: "Why didn't you tell us this when you were at home?"
"It's not necessary, in fact, it is now." Chu Mian finally said, "But I will feel more relaxed when I say it."
Chu Yu was silent for a few seconds, "Okay."
Chu Mian hung up the phone and returned to her seat expressionlessly. Yu Ran immediately took his arm, leaned over and asked, "Did someone offend you, I'll help you out."
The corners of Chu Mian's lips curled slightly, and she rubbed his hair lightly, "It's okay, I'm calling my dad."
"Oh, forget it." Yu Ran knew that Chu Mian had always been polite to his elders, so he should learn from him.
However, he didn't expect Chu Mian to say, "My dad knows that I'm in a relationship at school."
"Ah? Is there any punishment for that?" Yu Ran has long heard that Chu Mian's parents are relatively strong in character, "Should, shouldn't—"
Chu Mian wanted to say "I won't let us break up" to dispel his worries, but Yu Ran was worried about another thing: "Will you kill me?"
"...they don't have that ability."
"Then will they find someone..." Yu Ran leaned into his ear and whispered, "Turn me?"
Chu Mian pushed Yu Ran's cranky head hard, and told him: "No, even if there is any punishment, it will be for me, and it has nothing to do with you."
Immediately, torture tools such as whips and handcuffs appeared in Yu Ran's mind, and he felt sorry for the moment, and would rather bear this pain for him.
After thinking about it, Yu Ran still thought of a way, "Well, for your safety, you can say that you have broken up when you go home, so that your parents can feel at ease."
"They wouldn't have worried about me."
Chu Mian smiled, lowered her head and held Yu Ran's slender wrist, and stroked his protruding knuckles with her fingers, "Besides, since it has been made public, there is no need to hide it from anyone. I don't want a decision to be only half done."
Yu Ran withdrew his hand, turned it back, and clasped his fingers tightly. He saw this way of holding hands from the Internet. Although it was uncomfortable to hold five fingers between each other, it was indeed stronger.
Firm enough to be familiar.
Chu Mian looked at the crossed hands of the two, his eyes were as soft as clear lake water, he shook his head, suddenly several fingers were throbbing at the same time.
Yu Ran clenched his teeth and exerted force on his fingers, Chu Mian was pinched in pain, and asked him what he was doing with a frown.
"Ziwei has been tortured like this..." Yu Ran let go of his hand and sighed wearily after exerting all his strength, "Oh, it's not easy for Ziwei."
Chu Mian thought to herself, "It's not easy for me, too," and she willingly talked to a foolish boyfriend who was out of her mind, but she had to always be on guard against him sneaking up on her.
However, he patiently helped Yu Ran rub his knuckles to ease the pain just now.
Since the beginning of winter, smog has frequently occurred in northern cities, and the Ronggang Meteorological Observatory has issued a yellow warning signal for smog. Every morning, gray mist shrouded the road ahead, and the number of students being late was increasing, which aroused the attention of the school.
"Damn it, many other schools don't go to class because of the smog, so they are on holiday this week, what about us?" Fang Zhao took off his mask, "Our school leader personally checks attendance! Together we are all human body air purification A device? Squad leader, go and make a suggestion to the teacher."
Xiang Xuehua spread her hands helplessly, "There is no other way, we have two exams this semester, and there are not enough class hours, let alone make up for the holidays."
"As long as we pass the exam, the school must let us get all A's? If we are poisoned by air pollution, no one will take the exam."
Yu Ran lay on the table to catch up on sleep, woke up after a while, and said, "I want to take a vacation too."
Everyone else just wanted to finish complaining, but Yu Ran used his time in class to think of a way, "Well, none of our experimental classes will come tomorrow, and the school will definitely pay attention to it."
His proposal quickly won the support of classmates who also did not want to go to class, and they passed it on to others, inciting more students to choose to skip class.
However, it didn't take long for this matter to reach the teacher's ears. As soon as Bai Yuzhu entered the classroom, she ordered the front and back doors to be closed tightly, and then sternly taught them: "You are so self-willed, have you considered others? Have you considered that I, as the class teacher, will be punished?" Are you tired?"
Someone down there apologized bitterly.
"And even if all of you skipped class, what about the teachers?" Bai Yuzhu slapped the desk angrily, "We still have to come to work!"
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the reason why Teacher Bai was angry.
She clenched her fists to her mouth and coughed twice, and said, "The director has come to the corridor to check the attendance of each class in the past two days, cough...they will definitely stop to listen to the class...cough! You should behave well then, understand I mean?"
After she finished speaking, the class was silent for a few seconds, and then someone got up and suddenly started coughing. The others immediately reacted and cleared their throats on purpose.
Everyone made up their minds to let the leaders hear how the smoggy weather destroyed the flowers of their motherland.
In English class, teachers and students were absent-minded, waiting for the school leaders to come to inspect. Yu Ran sat in the last row against the wall, he could touch the back door by raising his hand, so he was in charge of observing the situation in the corridor through the glass.
As soon as he coughed, the whole class knew that the director was coming, and many people with loud voices followed suit to perform.
The doors and windows were closed tightly, Yu Ran was worried that the leader could not hear clearly, he caught a glimpse of the man approaching from the corner of his eye, he decisively opened the back door of the classroom, and coughed violently outside.
"Cough cough, cough cough, vomit—"
He was coughing so badly that he didn't forget to retch at the right time. When the leader passed by a class of classrooms, he subconsciously took half a step back when he heard such a loud voice.
Yu Ran leaned on the door frame and pretended to be weak, and half of his body came out of the door. While the director was observing his situation in horror, he hurriedly took out a tissue and covered his mouth: "Ahem—"
Then he put down his hand and slowly unfolded the paper in his hand, and there was a bright red piece in the middle.
Yu Ran raised his head tearfully, and just as he exchanged a glance with the leader in the corridor, Chu Mian pulled him back by his collar.
Soon, the director came in from the main entrance, looked at the back of the classroom with concern and asked Bai Yuzhu: "What's wrong with the student in your class, is he not in good health?"
Bai Yuzhu knew that there were too many flaws in Yu Ran, so she didn't dare to let the director look at him more, so she hurriedly said, "Oh, they've just had problems in the past few days, isn't it because of the severe smog, maybe they got infected somewhere when going back and forth to and from school."
The director looked serious, and clicked his tongue, "This is not acceptable, the students' health is critical, and if something goes wrong, we can't afford it."
He was thinking about something on the spot, remembering that he couldn't delay the teacher's class, so he turned and left first.
After the leader left the floor, Bai Yuzhu heaved a sigh of relief, put down the textbook and pointed at Yu Ran, "You, ah, overacted, what did you smear on that paper towel? Red fountain pen?"
Yu Ran proudly raised his hand and shook the paper, the red color in the middle was highly saturated, which was very different from the color of real blood.
"Chu Mian, you don't stop him, what are you drawing?"
"I stopped." Chu Mian chose to draw a clear line with Yu Ran at this time, "He originally planned to write 'haze' on it with a red pen, and the word 'haze' was scribbled because he didn't know how to write it."
"Hey, how do you say this!" Yu Ran threw down the paper, ignored the roar of laughter from the students, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
The bright classroom is full of excitement, but the window is still bleak, and the gray air makes it difficult to distinguish between buildings and streets.
The masks at Cheng Jun’s canteen were all sold out, and people tried their best to cover their mouths and noses when they went out. After school in the evening, Yu Ran also resisted talking to Chu Mian, and communicated on QQ while walking.
[Wolf hid beside the dog]: Chu Mian, is there a word called looking at you in the fog
[.]: Looking at flowers in the fog.
[Wolf hid beside the anti-dog]: Oh, it's all the same! You are the flower!
[.]:...
[Brother Diu takes a shot of spirit]: It's so disgusting, Yu Ran! roll! Don't come out to show!
[Misaki]: Please chat privately.
[Whale Song.]: Don't tell me, the smog is so thick, I can still see Yu Ran at a glance.
[Wolf hid beside the dog]: Hey, brother is shining in the smog like this!
[Whale Song.]: Fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog, fog
For safety, more people go home together in smoggy weather. Cui He chatted with them on QQ, glanced at the cars on the street inadvertently, and subconsciously called out to Chu Mian: "Hey, is that Maserati your mother's?"
Chu Mian slowed down, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I've only seen her other cars."
However, the girl's intuition is always better than his own. He didn't walk ten meters further, and the car slowly followed him and stopped at the intersection.
Seeing that Chu Mian was not leaving, Yu Ran also stood still, only holding hands with him.
The driver got out of the car and helped Ye Zhihan open the car door. The graceful mixed-race woman wrapped her coat tightly and walked towards Chu Mian with her boots on. She wears sunglasses and a filter on the mask, which at first glance looks like a gas mask.
The eyes behind the sunglasses first noticed Chu Mian and the boy holding hands, and then moved to Cui He.
"Long time no see, Auntie." Cui He took the initiative to say hello.
Ye Zhihan nodded slightly, and looked at her son again.
Yu Ran asked Chu Mian in a low voice: "Do I want to say hello? What should I call her?"
"No, you just pretend you can't see her."
"Okay..." Yu Ran immediately stared at the ground.
Ye Zhihan took off his sunglasses, looked at Chu Mian, and said, "Send you home."
This "you" made Chu Mian vigilant. Before he could think of a word to respond, Ye Zhihan looked at the boy next to Chu Mian and said, "Would you like to introduce me?"
Chu Mian: "He is—"
"Student Chu Mian, please send me here, thank you!"
Yu Ran's tone was up and down, he took the initiative to let go of Chu Mian, raised his arms, and groped for something in the air with both hands. Not only that, but his eyes were out of focus, and his pupils looked down lazily.
He moved his steps slowly, tentatively extended his palm an inch, and after touching Ye Zhihan's coat, he pretended to apologize: "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't see anyone here."
Ye Zhihan narrowed his eyes.
Chu Mian took two steps forward in embarrassment, hugged Yu Ran's shoulders, and lowered her voice, "It's not like pretending not to see."
"Fuck, how can I pretend, she's so big, she's alive in front of my eyes." Yu Ran still kept his eyes blank, "It's okay, I think it's good now, and I can set you up as an enthusiastic helper in front of your mother." The image of a classmate."
"forget it."
Chu Mian simply gave up making up excuses, walked up to Ye Zhihan with Yu Ran in her arms, and took off the mask.
With a sharp light in his eyes, he solemnly told his mother: "His name is Yu Ran, he is my boyfriend—"
Before he finished speaking, Yu Ran covered him with the mask and reminded him: "Don't open your mouth to talk in this weather."
"Just one sentence."
"That doesn't work, what should I do if my voice is hoarse?" Yu Ran scolded, "Your throat has been licked by an angel's tongue!"
The corners of Chu Mian's lips curled up, and she said through the mask, "Then introduce yourself to my mother."
"Okay." Yu Ran turned his head and looked at Ye Zhihan.
He said firmly, "I am Chu Mian's knight."
