Chapter 75: Love period

From this day on, Chu Mian developed a strong resistance to the big-eyed yellow sponge named "SpongeBob SquarePants", and even wanted to resist the square cheese. As soon as he woke up in the morning, he immediately went out to buy a pair of underwear that fit well, and when he came back, he completely abandoned SpongeBob SquarePants in the trash can.

The two got up and had breakfast, and began to plan where to go today. The traffic lines in Beijing are complicated, and there are often traffic jams during peak hours. They are not willing to make a fuss. They only went to the 798 Art District in the morning.

On the way, Chu Mian bought a bunch of candied haws and handed them to Yu Ran, and asked, "Have you used the paint I gave you?"

Yu Ran took a big bite of the hawthorn, and replied vaguely: "Not yet, I just tested the color, I'm not very good at gouache now."

"Look, tell me what else you need. I'll go back and ask my aunt to pick it out for you. I'll give it to you when school starts."

"No, it's my fault for bothering her." Yu Ran's lips were dyed red by hawthorn, and there were still a little bit of rock sugar crumbs, "What does your aunt draw for work, manga?"

"It seems to have everything. I think she is quite famous in the industry, so she has a lot of requests for manuscripts." Chu Mian recalled Chu Heng's pen name, "It's called 'Er Daoheng', have you heard of it?"

Bingtang cracked between his teeth, Yu Ran was stunned, and let go: "Damn, I know! Her stick figure comics are very popular on the Internet! But I think her illustrations are even better, and I even saved a few of them as cell phone wallpapers Woolen cloth."

Chu Mian didn't know about her aunt's career, and seeing that Yu Ran was very interested in her, she secretly decided to go back to Chu Heng and ask for some signed albums for him.

It's still far away from dinner time, Chu Mian is thinking about where to take Yu Ran next, "I remember my aunt graduated from CAFA, why don't we go around the school now? Maybe we can find an exhibition of her works."

Yu Ran nodded quickly, with anticipation in his eyes. The two called a taxi and went there. During the winter vacation, there were not many people inside and outside the school, and there were not many places to visit freely, so they bought tickets to enter the art gallery.

Some of the works exhibited in the museum are very attractive, especially the excellent works in the "Design for Sitting" exhibition, which combines everyday objects such as chairs with aesthetics, full of whimsy and artistic sense. He sincerely admires their unconstrained imagination and superb creativity, and subconsciously hopes that his talent can approach their level when he grows up.

Yu Ran concentrated on the visit, took a lot of photos and posted them on Qzone. Chu Mian took some time to go to the public area to answer a few calls, and finally got impatient and turned off the phone directly.

"Who is it?" Yu Ran asked.

Chu Mian answered casually, "A friend who is also an artist of my dad's company always calls me when he can't find anyone to play with him in Beijing."

Yu Ran doesn't pay attention to celebrities, so of course he has no interest in his friends. But Chu Mian remembered something, turned on the phone again, took out the photo album, and said, "He came to my house before and gave my dad a pair of Xuanfeng, let me show you."

Yu Ran leaned over with great interest, and saw two yellow-headed and white-bodied parrots in the video, standing on the crossbar, vying to be the first to chirp. The most iconic feature of parrots is that they also have orange-red round spots on their cheeks, which are like natural blush, which greatly aggravates their playful and lively temperament.

"Fuck, it's so cute." Yu Ran was so engrossed in watching it that he took Chu Mian's phone over without realizing it, "Are they singing? It's a bit like the theme song of "Doraemon"!"

"Well, they bark every day, and their mouths are never idle, just like you." With her hands in her pockets, Chu Mian stared at the side of Yu Ran's face, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

Yu Ran's hair is a little static right now, and several tufts of hairs are curled up, swinging back and forth in the air, looking like the crown feathers of a parrot.

Chu Mian stretched out her hand to push down his hair, and said, "If you like these two birds, I'll ask my dad to come and see you off."

"No, no, no." Yu Ran shook his head and refused, "I don't have time to take care of small animals, and my parents can't even take care of them. Now this is enough."

The two little birds were so cute that Yu Ran softened his heart. He watched a video several times, and finally asked Chu Mian to send it to him.

The Art Museum of CAFA is not very big, and the two of them walked slowly and finished shopping in more than an hour. The street walls outside the campus are full of graffiti, which contrasts with the dark gray buildings of the opposite college, full of vitality in the cold winter.

Yu Ran looked up and saw creeper vines covering the building of the Academy of Fine Arts like a net. It was not difficult to imagine the lush and lush scene in spring and summer, so he sighed softly: "It's so beautiful."

What Yu Ran commented was the dense ivy in his imagination, but Chu Mian could only see large stretches of interlaced vines sticking to the wall bare, without any aesthetic feeling. However, he still echoed Yu Ran's statement.

"Will I come to take the exam next winter? I probably will." Yu Ran suppressed the anticipation in his heart, but still revealed something from his eyes.

Chu Mian said, "It will definitely."

Yu Ran thought about it for a while, and finally decided not to hide anything from Chu Mian, and told him honestly: "My mother doesn't like my art exam, she said that it will definitely make the college entrance examination score drop a lot."

Chu Mian frowned, "Can't you convince her?"

"Hmm... unless I can promise her that I will not fall behind in my studies, for example, I will get a high score in the next semester's exam." Yu Ran laughed before speaking, "She is dreaming, our experimental class has all kinds of ghosts and ghosts."

Chu Mian couldn't help but want to preach a few words: "I told you to study hard long ago, at least you have a solid foundation. In the future, you don't have to fill up your brain too much in one breath in the third year of high school. Your brain is not good at first."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and poked Yu Ran's temple, sighed and comforted: "It's okay, if Auntie doesn't support you, then I will send you to the best studio in Ronggang, and I will find you a few one-on-one tutors when I come back." .”

"No need." Yu Ran took his hand, "Don't worry about me, I will take care of it with my mother. Let's go, let's eat."

Seeing his calm expression, Chu Mian reluctantly felt relieved. Looking back later, he felt that Yu Ran's mother seemed not very open-minded, or that she wanted to control her son's future choice of path, and some concerns arose in his heart.

He asked Yu Ran: "What will happen if your mother finds out that you are with a boy, is she angry?"

"Oh, she already knows that." Yu Ran said, "I can't tell if she's angry or not, anyway, she doesn't take it seriously, she just thinks I'm just joking with you."

"Then what did you say?"

"I said, 'You and my dad eloped at this age, you still have the nerve to talk about me', she was speechless on the spot, just stared at me, hahaha..."

It seemed that their relationship was not opposed by their parents. Chu Mian felt a little relieved, and asked casually, "Your parents also married very early, right? My mother was still unmarried and conceived first, and gave birth to me at the age of twenty."

"That was early enough... I don't remember when my parents got married, I just know they both drank a lot that day, and then it was better to hit another day."

"Have you obtained the certificate?"

"No, she's pregnant with me."

"..."

The Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and the word "日" can confuse Chu Mian.

In the evening, the two went to Sanlitun to find a restaurant for dinner, and played a few games in an Internet cafe before going back to Chu Mian's house to rest. There are not many people living in this suite, Chu Mian likes to stay here alone during the winter vacation.

He tidied up the bedroom and said, "We'll live here when we go to college, if the courses aren't too tight."

Yu Ran lay down stretched and said, "No, I want to rent a smaller one."

"It's more convenient here."

"But it's different." Yu Ran waved at Chu Mian, motioning him to lie down too, "This is your home, but I want to live in 'our home'."

He bit the "we" hard deliberately, and his tone was full of hope for the future. After Chu Mian heard this, she didn't say anything, she stretched out her arms and hugged Yu Ran tightly, and the two of them lay on the bed and tacitly decided that there would be a day in the future—living in a home that only belonged to the two of them.

The next day, they went to the zoo and the aquarium, and the viewing was secondary. They just wanted to remember the happy time they had together.

Yu Ran didn't say hello to his family when he came out to play this time, for fear that Li Guirong would be worried, it would be safer for him to go back early. Chu Mian personally booked the train ticket for him and sent him to South Railway Station in the afternoon.

On the way, Chu Mian received another invitation call from his friend, so he had to ask the other party to wait at the South Railway Station.

Seeing that we are going to part ways, the next time we meet is probably when school starts in March. Yu Ran's reluctance was reflected in his expression and body. He stared at Chu Mian intently. He wanted to kiss, but he didn't want to make Chu Mian shy in front of so many passers-by. After hesitating for a long time, he just stretched out his arms and hugged Chu Mian. neck.

Chu Mian also wrapped her arms around his waist, and the two of them rubbed their ears together, talking softly.

Boys in the period of passionate love seem to become extra gentle, Chu Mian feels that Yu Ran is like this, and of course she is also like this.

Yu Ran turned his head, slowly kissed Chu Mian's neck and cheek a few times, and then pecked at the corner of his mouth. Chu Mian would slightly adjust the angle of her upturned face to quietly cooperate with Yu Ran's approach.

Chu Mian saw a Ferrari approaching ostentatiously not far away, so she said to Ran, "My friend is here."

Yu Ran gave a nonchalant "hmm", raised her head and pressed Chu Mian's lips firmly.

The car stopped a few meters behind them, after Chu Mian kissed, she sent Yu Ran to the station, and after a long time, she came out alone.

After getting in the car, Chu Mian directly said to the young man, "You should keep a low profile, even I know that you make headlines every day for showing off your wealth."

The young man in the driver's seat took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of deep brown-green eyes, and said word by word: "I don't care what they think."

In fact, Chu Mian was not very familiar with this young artist, and he was two or three years younger, so she didn't understand why he wanted to get in touch with an ordinary student like herself. After careful questioning, the young man from Germany told the truth: "I need you to come and help me buy birthday presents for my teammates. You are the same age."

"Then you should go find your other teammates, Koty."

"No one, ignore me." Koty said with difficulty.

"Okay." Chu Mian agreed.

After the car started, the atmosphere was quiet for a long time, Koty said suddenly: "Mien?"

"Ok."

"Did you stick out your tongue?"

Chu Mian froze for a few seconds before realizing that Koty seemed to be asking her about the details of kissing Yu Ran. His lips moved, and he responded decisively: "Mind your own business, Koty."

His reaction made the foreign friend laugh while driving, and then said fluently in Chinese: "It's not a fucking kiss if you don't stick your tongue out."

Chu Mian's neck was a little hot, he turned his face away, and said in a deep voice, "I probably know why your teammates are ignoring you."

The car is speeding by on the road. The city of Beijing is dry and cold in winter. Fortunately, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights, and the atmosphere of the New Year seems to make the temperature warmer.

On the night of Chinese New Year’s Eve, Chu Mian received a few pictures from Yu Ran’s QQ. It was a cockatiel he drew with colored pencils, which looked very similar to the one he raised at home.

There is a slash next to the parrot's mouth, which means it is talking: "Chu Mian ~ Chu Mian ~ Happy New Year."

Chu Mian couldn't help laughing, she slid her thumb and clicked on the next one.

The little parrot didn't speak this time, and was looking at him with its head tilted.

In the third picture, the little parrot squints its eyes and covers its rosy cheeks with its wings imitating hands, as if it is too shy to meet people.

Chu Mian saved all these paintings in her mobile phone, and planned to put them together as a screensaver later.

There was still the last one that Chu Mian didn't look at, and Chu Mian swiped quickly, the corners of her mouth froze in an instant.

The "head" of the cockatiel was picked off by a thin yellow hand. It turned out that it was just a headgear; and the creature hiding in the parrot's body was the pitted yellow sponge.

It stared and laughed wildly, held up the parrot hood and told Chu Mian, "Actually, I am SpongeBob SquarePants!"

"Get out." Chu Mian blurted out into the phone in a hurry.

So, with 30 seconds left before 2014, Yu Ran received Chu Mian's heartless reply: "Let's break up and get back together next year."

The countdown to CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala has already begun, and at the moment when the hosts greeted the audience with one voice, Yu Ran received another new message from Chu Mian—

"This year, you have to be serious about liking me."
