In the hot summer of June, the 2014 college entrance examination has come to an end, and the summer make-up classes for the second grade are about to begin.
There is only Yu Ran as an art examinee in the two experimental classes. During the parent meeting at the end of the semester, Li Guirong has to go to the office alone to help him issue a leave certificate. This meeting was about the third year of high school, so Yu Hui also came along. He didn't look up to listen to the teacher's speech, and concentrated on sitting in the back row of the auditorium playing Doudizhu.
Yu Ran is packing his luggage at home, and he can come back once a week, so for now, he can just bring his personal items and a change of clothes. Chu Heng's car waited downstairs for a long time, Yu Jin held Yu Ran's arm reluctantly, and said: "Brother, do you understand the principle of 'Don't forget each other'? Flesh and flesh are deep, blood is thicker than water , don’t let all the water you pour out flow into outsiders’ fields.”
"I'm not at home, you go to bed early, don't secretly play computer until midnight." Yu Ran lifted the suitcase, "Also set the alarm clock, go to bed early and wake up early."
"Don't you express your enthusiasm for your handsome and charming brother?"
Yu Ran raised his hand to pat his forehead, and said, "Don't wear my clothes."
The suitcase was not heavy, Yu Ran quickly lifted it down, turned around and waved goodbye to Yu Jin.
Chu Heng stepped on the accelerator and drove to Hanning Mansion. She and Chu Mian are the only ones living in this house, and the guest room has long been used to store sundries. Only yesterday did my aunt clean it thoroughly and replace it with brand new ones.
The study room is the studio, and Chu Heng has prepared all the tools and paints in advance. The two rested for a while, then sat in front of the drawing board and started today's lesson.
"In the summer vacation, we will practice for the entrance exam first. The style of the questions in Ronggang is relatively stable. You can get a good ranking if you have solid basic skills. The more difficult ones are the school exams of schools like CAFA and Guangmei. The questions are flexible and will test your painting. Thinking and creativity, so we have to spend more time studying."
Chu Heng introduced Yu Ran's plans for the next few months in an orderly manner, and she handed Yu Ran a sketch paper, "Let's start with sketching, you practice your hand, draw a couple who are quarreling, the woman is angry, the man feels guilty, pay attention Show the emotions of both of you."
The outline of the characters slowly emerged in Yu Ran's mind, and he started to write without hesitation. He has a good grasp of body proportions, but when it comes to depicting the expressions of characters, his brain gets stuck, and even while drawing, he still has a beautiful style of comic characters' facial features.
Chu Heng rested his chin on the side to observe, and noticed that Yu Ran's eyes were a little flustered. He wiped the eraser three or four times, but failed to show a good effect.
"Have you ever really seen the expressions of couples arguing?" Chu Heng asked.
Yu Ran shook his head as he recalled, "I don't seem to have it. Or I've seen it before, but I don't remember it."
"But other candidates usually pay attention to these." Chu Heng said, "There are also scenes like 'mother picking up her daughter from school' and 'two people happily talking on the phone', which can be seen everywhere in our lives. I watched In other provinces and cities this year's entrance examination questions, sketching no longer only requires drawing two independent people like in previous years, but pays more attention to the emotional connection between characters and your ability to compose pictures."
She leaned forward, looked at Yu Ran's drawing paper, and said, "There is no scene arrangement like yours, and the two characters are naked next to each other. How can you show the couple relationship in the title? They may also be classmates, brothers and sisters or Stranger. If you can't even meet the requirements of the topic, your score in sketching will definitely not be high."
Yu Ran nodded and listened carefully.
"But it doesn't matter. Your character proportions are very standard, and you can also see the difference between male and female skeletons. Just for this, I dare say that most of the art students in Ronggang who are starting to train now are not as good as you. There are too many of them who have no foundation. It takes a lot of time to catch up."
Chu Heng praised him lightly, slapped him and then gave him a sweet date, hoping that Yu Ran would correct his attitude before he really studied.
They are all people who have walked the same road, and she knows very well what teenagers think. Especially among the art candidates, the proportion of pretentious people is very high, thinking that learning art represents extraordinary talent, and the studio teacher is complacent after a few words of praise, so high-minded, with high-mindedness and low-handedness.
Chu Heng took a new piece of paper and said softly: "Yu Ran, do you know what it takes the most time to learn in the process of painting? It's not basic skills or skills, but to recognize that you are just An ordinary guy who likes to draw."
"—and then keep painting with enthusiasm."
Yu Ran clenched the pencil eraser in his hand, and gave a heavy "hmm".
The third-grade parent meeting of Chengjun Middle School has been held, and the students are still in the classroom, officially entering the first round of review for the college entrance examination.
The air conditioner is sufficient, Chu Mian concentrates on writing the questions, and when she feels cold, she subconsciously moves to the left, but accidentally touches the empty space.
Only then did he realize that Yu Ran had already gone through the formalities of suspending classes for art candidates, and he would not come to school again this semester. Even though she would be able to see each other soon after returning home from school, Chu Mian was still a little lonely, as if there was a space in her heart like the seat next to her.
What made him even more unaccustomed was that Yu Ran didn't come to pick him up to cross the street after school today, it seemed that he was treated strictly by his aunt on the first day.
Back at home alone, Chu Mian saw the two talking in the study, he nodded at them, went into the room to sort out the books for the third year of high school, and ordered three takeaways by the way.
With Yu Ran, Chu Mian can eat high-calorie fast food as a matter of course. If Chu Heng restrains, he explains that it is to satisfy Ran's taste.
"Baabaa, do you still have a new quilt over there? I only bought a sheet and quilt cover for Yu Ran, and the inside is still empty."
Chu Mian immediately glared at her, signaling her not to be called by her nickname. Chu Heng covered his mouth, glanced at Yu Ran, and found that the boy was concentrating on watching the video on his mobile phone, and didn't pay attention to what she called just now.
"The guest room doesn't have a bathroom, so it's inconvenient." Chu Mian said, "Yu Ran must get the paint on himself often, and he will come to my room to wash it."
"Then... why don't you just sleep with me? Is that what you mean?"
"I didn't say that, whatever he wants."
Chu Heng smiled helplessly, then turned to Yu Ran and asked, "Do you want to live in a room by yourself, or sleep with Chu Mian?"
Holding the pizza corner in his mouth, Yu Ran stared blankly at Chu Mian, but did not read the reference answer from his eyes.
At any rate, this is a question from her boyfriend's parents, maybe it's an assessment of herself, so Yu Ran sat upright and answered seriously: "I promise to be innocent with Chu Mian, so that he can sleep spotlessly clean and wake up bright and bright!"
Chu Mian quickly gave him a blank look.
Chu Heng said in a low voice: "Forget it, you can live as long as you like, and you can live as you like."
Yu Ran still had to practice sketching at night, and was not allowed to rest until nine o'clock. He moved his sore shoulders and waist, knocked on the door and entered Chu Mian's bedroom.
Chu Mian just finished drying her hair, and told him, "I put the towel inside, the sky blue one. The toothbrush and the cup are still unopened, remember to wash it with hot water first."
"Row."
"What time do you start painting tomorrow?"
"Eight o'clock."
"It's the same time as the school make-up class, so I'll call you when I wake up tomorrow."
Yu Ran nodded and went into the bathroom to take off his clothes and take a shower. The bottles and cans on the shelf were all in foreign languages. Fortunately, Chu Mian pasted Chinese characters with transparent tape in advance, so that he, an illiterate, could use them easily.
After coming out of the shower, Chu Mian personally helped him dry his hair. Yu Ran's eyes were not idle, he looked around the room, except for the white snake in the box on the table, only this bed attracted him the most.
"Why do you have so many dolls? I saw the green snake I gave you earlier. It looks so small when placed with others."
"Anyway, my bed is big." Chu Mian turned off the hair dryer, went forward to tidy up the plush doll, "Go and lie down first."
Yu Ran threw himself onto the bed unceremoniously, beside him was a super-sized lamb Xiao En, he picked it up and looked, but found a small card stuck in the zipper behind the doll.
"'Baa-baa Sean'." Yu Ranzhao read it out.
Chu Mian suddenly opened her eyes wide, her movements froze. It didn't mean that Ran asked what those words meant, so he snatched the doll, tore off the note on it and threw it away.
Yu Ran was really curious, but it was another question: "Do you have to sleep with the doll at night?"
"No, put it casually."
Chu Mian turned off all the lights in the bedroom, and went to bed to lie down. He habitually touched the lamb Xiao En, only to find that the doll was already held in Yu Ran's arms.
He frowned in the darkness, leaned over and pulled Yu Ran's arm, and said, "Give it to me."
Yu Ran shrugged his shoulders in resistance, "I want to hug."
Chu Mian clicked his tongue, and the lamb was hugged by Yu Ran, so he had no choice but to lie down and hug Yu Ran.
The feeling of holding a real person to sleep is completely different from holding a doll. The person in the arms has warmth and breath. Yu Ran's back was pressed against his chest, and the two of them shared the same bottle of shower gel, the scents from their bodies overlapped and merged into one.
"I remember smelling your shower gel when I was in the freshman year of high school," Yu Ran recalled, "It's been a long time, haven't you changed it?"
"Well, the familiar smell can make me feel safe, so I didn't change it after I got used to it."
"It's so monotonous." Yu Ran let go of Xiao En the lamb, and turned to face Chu Mian directly, "Change it, change it as you like, I will give you a sense of security, and I will protect you."
The night was quiet, and the two of them unconsciously lowered their voices in the dark room.
Chu Mian chuckled and asked, "How safe is it?"
Yu Ran pondered for a few seconds, and said, "I am your helmet, goggles, safety belt, phone case..."
He racked his brains, trying to think of things that would bring protection.
"It's your toilet water, your contraceptive pill."
Chu Mian corrected him: "I don't need the last thing."
"What if? What if you evolve and grow that... egg nest."
"It's 'ovary', and you don't take biology class."
"I fucking listened! The final score is more than 70!" Yu Ran retorted, "Of course I know it's 'ovary', but I'm not distinguishing between men and women. If you grow a uterus, you can also be called 'children's palace' '."
Chu Mian reached into the quilt and pinched Yu Ran's waist through his pajamas, "Don't substitute synonyms."
"What organ is missing?" Yu Ran struggled to recall, "Oh, when the book is used up, the hatred will be less, and this hatred will last forever... Oh, I remembered, 'Yang—'"
Chu Mian immediately raised her hand to cover his mouth, and yelled softly, "If you can't grow it, don't think about it."
Yu Ran poked out the tip of her tongue and quickly rubbed against Chu Mian's palm.
"Chu Mian, if you have a child, what name will it be?"
Chu Mian didn't think about it: "How could we have it?"
Before he finished speaking, he paused his lips, for a moment he didn't know whether to surprise himself for thinking too far, or the "we" that blurted out.
Yu Ran was silent for a few seconds, then asked again: "Do you like children?"
"I don't like it very much."
"Me too." Yu Ran agreed, "Then just the two of us will live together."
"Okay." Chu Mian accurately touched Yu Ran's hand in the dark, and clasped his fingers tightly.
"But if you can really conceive a child, I will definitely like that baby." Yu Ran said.
Any random thoughts in the dark are harmless, once he associates Chu Mian with pregnancy, he can't control his excitement, as if it aroused the possessive desire in boys' nature.
But Chu Mian was concerned about another matter: "Why not you?"
"Because if it's a boy, IQ will be inherited from the mother. I'm not as smart as you, so of course I hope the child will follow you." Yu Ran has reasons and reasons.
Chu Mian was quite satisfied with the answer, and said with a smile, "You also know that your brain is not good."
"It's okay, under one person, above a hundred million people."
Chu Mian could understand the homophony in his words, and said, "Are you sure you can really surpass 'billion people'?"
"Of course! But it's not the 1.3 billion people." Yu Ran touched Chu Mian's underwear with a calm voice, "It refers to the 'billion' in it. I swam so many compatriots before I got life today."
The private place was touched, Chu Mian reflexively moved her body back, and then heard Yu Ran say: "You seem to have more than 100 million here."
Chu Mian curled up her knees and urged, "Hurry up and sleep."
"Yeah." Yu promised on the burner, but his eyes were still open, and his brain kept thinking.
The room was quiet for a few minutes, and Yu Ran asked in a low voice, "If a man gives birth, where will it come from? Does he have to have a caesarean section?"
Chu Mian pretended to be asleep and ignored him.
Yu Ran expressed his curiosity on his own: "Teacher Hao said, if a woman does not have a menstrual period during pregnancy, does the man also have no spermatorrhea during pregnancy?"
Chu Mian didn't say a word, her breathing was as steady as if she was in deep sleep. Yu Ran shook and he didn't respond, so he judged the truth: "Don't pretend to be you, if you really fell asleep, you will definitely talk when you wake up."
Chu Mian was still indifferent, so Yu Ran could only lie down and said, "From now on, I will treat you as pregnant."
His words did not pose any threat to Chu Mian, and the two of them huddled together and spent the long night together.
The next morning, the bright sun woke Chu Mian up earlier than the alarm clock. He moved lightly to get his clothes, and just as he took off his pajama pants, his waist was wrapped around his waist from behind.
Chu Mian turned around and rubbed Yu Ran's messy hair, "What do you want to eat? I'll have someone prepare it and bring it up."
Yu Ran leaned against Chu Mian's exposed belly, shook his head sleepily, and said with a smile, "I heard the child kicking your children's palace."
Chu Mian smacked Yu Ran's forehead hard, "I was talking nonsense early in the morning."
"Didn't I tell you last night, I think you are pregnant now."
Yu Ran hugged him unconsciously for a while, then opened his eyes with effort, his gaze shifted down inadvertently, and accidentally saw a small part of Chu Mian's black underwear that was darker in color, to be precise, the fabric was a little wet.
At a young age, it is normal for such a physiological condition to appear every once in a while. But Yu Ran made a big fuss on purpose, lowered his head and pointed at Chu Mian's crotch, shouting—
"It's about to give birth! Your goat's milk is broken!"
