For Chu Mian, happiness is having an omnipotent boyfriend; pain is having a cruel love.
Yu Ran is celebrating his birthday with his family tomorrow, and he has already left after dinner in the evening. Chu Mian put several wet wipes on her neck, which can not only cover the bright red marks, but also stop the itching of mosquito bites. When Chu Heng saw this when he came home, he explained that he "wanted to cool off", squinted his eyes and pretended to be sleepy, and hurried back to the house to continue thinking of ways.
Tried all the tricks on the internet, nothing worked. Chu Mian had no choice but to steal a few spoonfuls of liquid foundation into her aunt's bedroom while she was taking a bath. However, there is a difference in skin color between the two of them. Chu Mian tried to apply it a few times, and the skin on the neck was mottled, which was even more strange.
The situation was serious, and Chu Mian thought "It's better to be bitten by mosquitoes", and then shook his head to refute himself, he must not be assimilated by Muggle Yu Ran.
The next morning, Chu Mian put on several Band-Aids and went to school, but was really greeted by teachers and classmates.
"It's okay." He slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "There are so many mosquitoes, I scratched them."
The students were all surprised: "You are really cruel to yourself."
Fortunately, the make-up classes for the summer vacation are over, and the teachers only assign homework today. Chu Mian was afraid that others would suspect the Bondy on his neck, and after helping Yu Ran get the birthday presents from everyone, he didn't stay any longer.
Yu Ran came back after eating cake at home at night, leaving a sweet and creamy smell on Chu Mian's cheeks as soon as he entered the door. The two entered the house to unpack the presents, Chu Mian rested her chin, looked at Yu Ran's excited expression, praised everyone's packages in different ways, and even called one by one to thank them personally.
As for Chu Mian's gift, Yu Ran naturally had to save it for the last one to unwrap.
"Such a big box, I guessed it was shoes." Yu Ran smiled "hehe", proud of his superb observation ability. The moment he opened the box, his breath stagnated.
If he read it correctly, it should be the joint all-red sneakers of Air Jordan and "Slam Dunk", with the number "10" embroidered on the side representing Sakuragi Flower Road. However, the official release date of this sneaker is this winter. Chu Mian must have asked someone else to get the stock so early.
Yu Ran put the shoebox on the ground, strode forward to hug Chu Mian, and threw Chu Mian down on the soft bed.
"Thank you for my bleat." Yu Ran subconsciously wanted to kiss his neck, but he gave up after seeing so many hickey marks that hadn't dissipated, "It's much darker than yesterday, like being poisoned. Alas, I will still kiss on the face in the future Well, you have a thick skin."
Chu Mian raised her hand and squeezed Yu Ran's cheek, "Who is thicker?"
Yu Ran moved his body upwards, then stood up and straddled Chu Mian's lower abdomen, took his hand, and asked, "I'm not here today, how many times have you slept?"
Chu Mian thought about it carefully, and said, "Eat once in the morning and once in the afternoon, that's all."
"After you switched to the new medicine, the effect is indeed much better than before." Yu Ran put his mind at ease for a while, "You must tell us if you feel uncomfortable, don't worry us."
"You make me very uncomfortable." Chu Mian held her breath.
Yu Ran rolled over from him, picked up the messy wrapping paper on the floor, folded it and put it in the wastebasket. Chu Mian checked the sanitation of the snake box and put Fiona on the bed. Apart from Yu Ran, it was the only creature that was qualified to touch Chu Mian's personal items.
"Is the snake's temperature very cold?" Yu Ran asked curiously. After being allowed by Chu Mian, he reached out and touched Fiona's white scales, unexpectedly there was no chill.
The ball python sensed a strange smell, moved its body slowly, and snaked up along Yu Ran's forearm. Yu Ran hid his head back at first, but after finding out that Fiona was not doing anything else, he calmed down and asked, "It won't bite me suddenly, will it?"
"No." Chu Mian stroked the white snake's tail, "The ball python is very docile, and usually won't take the initiative to bite people, either it is hungry, or it thinks you are dangerous. But it is willing to crawl on you, it should You're like a new toy or something."
"It obviously thinks I'm handsome."
"It can't see clearly at all." Chu Mian laughed.
Yu Ranrao looked at Fiona with interest, and asked, "When we live together in the future, do you want to keep other pets?"
The tone of the first half of his sentence was too reasonable, Chu Mian replied "whatever you want" without thinking, and then realized that Yu Ran was so firm in his belief...their future would be as smooth as expected.
Chu Mian's Adam's apple rolled, she stood up and went to the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower first."
"I'm coming too!" Yu Ran carefully put the snake into the box and ran over actively.
Chu Mian took a bath alone for more than ten minutes. When Yu Ran came, he didn't even have the time to be in a daze. His nerves were tense all the time, and he quickly finished washing and getting dressed.
The two slept very close to each other. When the lights were on, they would hold the same mobile phone to watch videos, and when the lights were off, they would whisper together. Yu Ran likes to use the tip of his nose to touch the depression behind Chu Mian's earlobe, which often makes the other party shrink their shoulders reflexively.
"Chu Mian, I just thought about it. When you don't sleep so much, we will go to a farther place to play. Go to the south, go abroad, go to other planets." He murmured.
"Where is our first stop?"
"City in the sky—" Yu Ran said, "Lianyungang."
Chu Mian laughed and asked, "What about abroad?"
"I don't know any foreign countries. You know how poor my geography is..." Yu Ran thought about it carefully, "Isn't there a 'top ten most beautiful places in the world' on the Internet? Let's go if we have a chance. Now the world is changing. Nuan is so strong, maybe they will change in a few years."
"Yeah." Chu Mian turned over and lay on her side, hugging Yu Ran tightly, "Have you ever thought that if the college entrance examination results are not so ideal, we may be far away in the future, and we will not be able to see each other often."
Without hesitation, Yu Ran stroked Chu Mian's chin with one hand and said, "I will work hard, trust me."
"I've always believed in you." Chu Mian half-closed her eyes, "It's just that I don't know myself very often."
Hearing this, Yu Ran slowly supported his shoulders, stretched out his hand to press the top of Chu Mian's head and rubbed it twice, and said in a coaxing tone like a child: "Baa baa, be good, don't be afraid of baa baa. From now on, I will feed you grass every day, You smooth the hair, let you thrive."
Chu Mian smacked her tongue, pulled up the corners of her mouth helplessly, bent her knees and hit him, "You are so annoying."
Yu Ran stared intently in the dark room, even though his vision was completely dark, he still used his mind to outline Chu Mian's outline.
"I like a word very much, that is, 'Do your best and obey the destiny'." Yu Ran's voice rose unconsciously, a bit abrupt in the room, "Chu Mian, if we are really unlucky, then I will find a way to make it worse." A chance to meet. No matter how far away you are, I will go to you, by train or by plane, and the first thing we do when we meet is to hug you."
A sense of peace of mind automatically spread in a large area of her heart. Chu Mian calmed down a lot and said calmly, "I'm not afraid if I can't hug you. What I'm worried about is that you don't know how to take care of yourself alone."
"I understand! I may be patient."
"You don't understand, you are so stupid." Chu Mian retorted him, "I can imagine that you will help out strangers when you see them, and then you will be cheated of money, tricked into a pyramid selling company, selling Sanwu health care products, and finally When you get caught by the police, you still think you are doing a proper job."
"I'm not fucking stupid, you think I'm Yu Jin."
"Then you won't be much better." Chu Mian sighed heavily, "So I can't let you live alone, I can't let you be cheated away."
"Oh... Don't worry, I won't be deceived."
Yu Ran was confident, smiled a few times, and told Chu Mian: "I am the only one in the world who will believe whatever you say, even if you deceive me into being penniless, losing everything, and naked, I am willing to do everything."
Chu Mian covered the back of Yu Ran's neck with her palm, pressed her forehead close to his head, and said softly, "I forgot to tell you the most important thing, Yu Ran."
"Ok?"
"Happy seventeenth birthday." Chu Mian pecked his lips, "Now we are the same age again."
Yu Ran thought for a few seconds, then suddenly exclaimed: "You are an adult in winter!"
"You just found out."
"I thought this day was far away from us." Yu Ran suddenly became enlightened, and jumped into Chu Mian's arms excitedly, "Great, in a few years, you will definitely recover."
Even though today is his birthday, but he still thinks about himself all the time... Chu Mian hesitated to speak, her finger stroked the burning neck, and stopped on the slightly protruding bone in the back of the neck.
Darkness is Chu Mian's most reliable protective shell, which can attract all his throbbing that has nowhere to rest.
"Happy seventeen years old... Yu Ran." He couldn't help wishing again.
Yu Ran nodded heavily.
"Also, I love you." Chu Mian covered Yu Ran's mouth in time to prevent him from answering, "Let's live together when we grow up, this is my second dream, you must help me realize it .”
Yu Ran completely forgot to listen to what was said later, he only knew that it was the first time in Chu Mian's history that Chu Mian expressed his love directly.
Without concealing it, every word is extremely clear, as if all the stars in the night sky were crushed and turned into bright and gentle firelight. Chu Mian let go of her palm, and kissed habitually before going to sleep, but she didn't know that in the process of responding, Yu Ran's internal organs had already been burned for him.
The teenagers are each other's most youthful and sweet forbidden fruit. In the huge room, only the blurred snake is their spectator. With two young and vigorous bodies, they can honestly show their reactions when they are slightly teased by the one they love. Yu Ran felt nervous again, his mind was occupied by a secret delusion, and he even understood what it meant to be "unspeakable". In order to make the atmosphere less serious, he deliberately called Chu Mian by his nickname: "Baabaa, I'm so bloated."
Chu Mian understood immediately, but still chose to pretend to be dazed, "Then I'll turn down the air conditioner."
"I want you to hug me." Yu Ran licked Chu Mian's wet lips, and when he spoke, he raised his leg to press down on his waist.
They leaned close together, and Yu Ran rarely changed into pajamas in summer, only Briefs was covered with a thin layer of cloth. Chu Mian's head was buzzing, the temperature of Yu Ran's skin had already been conveyed through his pajamas, and when he moved a little, the two boys were at a loss at the same time, they even forgot how to kiss, and breathed face to face in embarrassment.
Yu Ran's heart sank, he didn't think much, he quickly sat up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Chu Mian breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to be sleepy, and adjusted the position of the pillow.
After a while, there was the sound of a shower in the bathroom. Of course, Chu Mian couldn't control her body, the feeling of bloated, hot and bulging was completely different from the physiological phenomenon in the morning. The more he let his thoughts burn, the more itchy he felt.
After the bathroom light was turned off again, Yu Ran walked lazily back to the bed. His lower abdomen has just been flushed with water, and now it feels slightly cold, and his whole body has returned to normal, and even his heartbeat is not as frantic as before.
Chu Mian closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, when suddenly she found Yu Ran's fingers poking out from under the quilt, grabbing the edge of her skirt. Cold fingers accidentally touched the warm skin, but Chu Mian didn't feel cold at all, but her eyes were a little confused. Yu Ran twitched his long fingers, and was about to stretch his whole hand in when he was suddenly grabbed by the back of his hand.
He immediately opened his mouth and explained in a low voice: "Baabaa, I know how to help you, don't worry."
Chu Mian didn't say a word.
Yu Ran was dumbfounded, he wondered if he had made the little princess unhappy again, so he took the initiative to retract his fingers. However, within half a second, Chu Mian held his hand tightly and slowly moved to a lower position like a guide.
Through the last layer of cloth, Yu Ran's palms were filled, his mind was empty, and his fingers curled up involuntarily.
Then he didn't dare to speak anymore.
The air froze for a while, and Chu Mian pushed his hand away, keeping the two of them at an appropriate distance without any skin-to-skin contact. Yu Ran didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere, and finally he only heard Chu Mian say "good night" gently.
Yu Ran silently clenched his fist, feeling a sense of frustration in his heart.
Although Chu Mian closed her eyes tightly, she didn't actually feel sleepy anymore. Drowsy during the day and energetic at night, just when he was hesitating whether to get out of bed and take a sleeping pill, Yu Ran murmured a few times to himself—
"come on."
"as long as you try very hard, you can achieve anything."
