The sun seems to have released the energy of this year, only the residual heat of summer is still in the air. Autumn is inconspicuous in Ronggang City. People are always in the stage of catching a cold and realize that day and night are starting a new round of alternation of cold and warm.
It has been a while since the start of school, and almost all senior high school students have adapted to the rhythm of the course, the complaints gradually disappeared, and everyone settled down to write the questions one after another. Every time a new test paper is issued, Chu Mian will take the initiative to ask for a copy for Yu Ran. It doesn't matter if the seat next to him is empty, and the pile of homework can also give him a sense of security.
In order to let senior high school students set goals as soon as possible, Cheng Jun's latest exam was changed to the college entrance examination point system, so that everyone can estimate their respective levels. The test questions are not difficult, but the scope of knowledge is very wide, which makes most students confused.
On the day the scores were announced, everyone’s confidence was hit—only nine people in the whole grade scored above 600, and no one reached 650. This still includes the data of liberal arts students.
"Don't even Chu Mian have 650?" Such questions often come from the crowd.
Chu Mian was just a little regretful at first, but after hearing too many trivial words from others, it was inevitable that she would be even more unwilling. The Ronggang college entrance examination has always been the lowest difficulty in the country. Looking at the clear "648" on the transcript, he couldn't help but tell himself repeatedly: this is not competitive at all.
Even if he got the first place in the school exam, looking at the whole city, he might not even be able to make it into the top 50.
Chu Mian's face was serious, and she didn't even bother to drink water. She kept analyzing the problem-solving ideas in the wrong question book, so that listening to the teacher's explanation would be equivalent to getting twice the result with half the effort.
He looked up for a long time, and noticed that Ye Xi in the front seat had been lying on the table. Worried that she was not feeling well, Chu Mian poked her back with a pen and asked, "Are you awake?"
"Huh?" Ye Xi slowly got up and turned around.
Chu Mian saw that her eyes were half swollen, and she didn't need to ask to know that it must be because she failed the exam. Ye Xi's usual grades are in the middle and lower reaches of the experimental class, but this time she got messed up in the comprehensive answers, and suddenly fell to the bottom of the class. The report card needs to be signed by the parents. Now she dare not go home and tell her parents.
"Don't be afraid, the first round of review is not over yet, and the scores are of no reference value." Chu Mian comforted her, "You're just not used to this kind of exam rhythm, solidify your foundation on National Day, and you'll definitely be able to advance next time."
As the eternal number one, Chu Mian is not qualified to seek comfort from anyone even if she encounters setbacks.
He thought that Cui He would study hard in his third year of high school, so that he would have another competitor; he didn't expect that she would still leave early and cut classes as usual, and didn't even pay attention to the exam.
"Don't you want to take the college entrance examination?" Chu Mian was displeased with her laxity.
Cui He remained calm, "It's still early."
"Then what are you thinking now, making your father anxious?" Chu Mian asked, "Don't compete with him for your future, it's not worth it."
Cui He held a large glass of lemon juice and said disdainfully: "Look at what you said, it's not like I can't learn, I can get 600 points in a random test. I looked at the questions of this test, and I didn't know you How did you make so many mistakes?"
Chu Mian knew that she was not bragging, there are always people in this world who rely on talent to win, and Cui He is exactly like that. Especially in mathematics and physics, where it takes others a few classes to figure out the skills, she can list the answers in ten minutes, which often makes Chu Mian feel inferior.
It's a pity that all her thoughts were spent on rebelling against her parents.
Chu Mian brought a lot of blank test papers home, and as soon as she entered, she saw Yu Ran running out of the study, and opened her palm to him, pretending to smear gouache paint on his face.
"Don't touch me." Chu Mian threw away her schoolbag and hid back, seized the right moment, grabbed Yu Ran's wrist, and ran to the bathroom.
"Why did you get it all over your arms?" Chu Mian muttered softly, held Yu Ran's arm, and helped him clean the colorful paints.
Yu Ran couldn't break free, "Hey, be careful, I've been rubbing my hands until I lose consciousness... Do you know how important my right hand is? I have to eat, draw, and serve you—turn my hand over for you." Clouds cover hands as rain, follow the vines and touch the melons, when the melons are ripe, do you know how to cherish them?"
Chu Mian raised her eyes to glance at him, and asked back, "If you are really so capable, then why do I always solve it by myself in the end?"
Yu Ran was at a loss for words for a while, under the bright yellow light, he saw Chu Mian raised the corner of his mouth with a half-smile.
After washing his arms, Yu Ran relaxed all his strength, and clung to Chu Mian limply and went back to the room. Chu Mian took out a thick stack of papers from her schoolbag, and said, "I brought you a set of Chinese multiple-choice questions, the first four items of the college entrance examination, the pronunciation of the characters, the shape of the idioms, and the idioms. This is what we have to talk about in class every day. It is very important. You have to keep at the same pace."
With a sharp voice on purpose, Yu Ran replied in a strange way, "Okay baby."
Chu Mian thought for a while, and immediately took out a pen, "You write one now."
"Tsk." Yu Ran reluctantly took it, settled down to read the questions, and finished the selection in a few minutes.
Chu Mian glanced at him and told him: "Two mistakes, pronunciation and idioms. The homophony of '嘤' in Xiaodi is 'Ye', not 'Yan'; and the meaning of 'Bao Ren Yi' is 'generally satisfactory', not poor."
Yu Ran nodded heavily, as if he really remembered. Chu Mian couldn't tell whether he was distracted, so she put forward a new request: "How about this, in the future you will use idioms more when speaking, and I will correct your mistakes at any time, so as to make your impression deeper. There will not be too much difference in scores in Chinese in the college entrance examination , you must have a solid grasp of these foundations, and it will save you effort when you go back to school to review next year."
Yu Ran curled his lips, "You are making things difficult for others."
"Daily accumulation is very important, don't ignore it." Chu Mian persuaded him softly, "It's okay if you find it difficult, I'll teach you everything."
Yu Ran smiled again, "Thank you Lord Long En!"
"That's not an idiom."
During the National Day, Chu Heng gave Yu Fangfang a few days off, allowing him to have fun with his parents. He hadn't gone back for several weeks, and when he got home, Yu Jin took the opportunity to completely occupy the table and bookshelves, treating his elder brother as an outsider. But Yu Ran thinks about it, Yu Jin is also in the third year of junior high now, so just forgive such a trivial matter.
"Why do I always smell a smell of Chinese medicine, who is sick?" Yu Ran sniffed the air.
"Mom put plaster in the house, it smells bad."
Yu Ran's heart sank, "What plaster? What happened to her?"
"The other day when I moved things downstairs, I twisted my waist, and it hurt when I moved." Yu Jin said, "It's okay, it's almost healed now."
Yu Ran reluctantly let go, "Where's Dad?"
"I went to buy some fruit."
The brothers gradually adapted to the atmosphere where both parents were at home. Harmony is rare, and chaos is the norm. Fortunately, it was only because of some trivial matters that they couldn't figure it out. After arguing, they forgot about it. Moreover, the two sons are in an important learning stage, and the couple do not want to affect their mood.
Yu Ran didn't draw for the past few days, he was bored, and watched "Tokyo Ghoul" with Yu Jin. When he was about to finish reading, he glanced at the date, and suddenly remembered that this month is the first anniversary of his relationship with Chu Mian. October 10th is called "cute day" on the Internet.
Yu Ran couldn't help sighing, "It's so fast", and then thought hard about the anniversary gift.
It seems that there is never enough time to spend with Chu Mian. From the moment the relationship was confirmed, their passionate love period has never stopped. Yu Ran almost forgot that he and Chu Mian were just ordinary friends before, but now every frame of memory is from the perspective of a boyfriend, which created a kind of "they fell in love when they first met" to Yu Ran. illusion.
After careful consideration, Yu Ran decided to buy a doll for Chu Mian and let him sleep with another one every day.
He placed several orders, and Chu Mian didn't ignore the anniversary, and bought a gift early, which was a piece of sports equipment.
On the tenth day, the two bought a small cake to celebrate. Yu Ran was very surprised after opening Chu Mian's box, because the shape of the object was not like daily necessities, and there were two balls hanging in the shape of a stick, and it could be charged next to it, which seemed a subtle adult feeling.
"What is this, I saw it in a movie... where did you get it?" Yu Ran took it out and looked at it.
"I bought it at the mall. I think you paint at home every day and lack exercise, so I bought one for you."
Yu Ran raised his eyelids in surprise, shook his head and refused, "This, this is too scary, I dare not stuff it in."
Chu Mian hesitated for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Where...is it?"
Yu Ran hesitated to speak, looked left and right, leaned forward and whispered in Chu Mian's ear.
Chu Mian frowned quickly, and asked him, "What mess did you watch at home on National Day, did your brother teach you?"
"How could he know these things!" Yu Ran was rather proud, with a proud look on his face that he knew nothing about himself.
"You... Anyway, don't read blindly in the future." Chu Mian hurriedly lowered her head, unpacked the box, and showed it to Yu Ran, "This is a wireless skipping rope, which can be used at home, and can also be connected to a mobile phone to view data."
"Infinity what? Rope skipping?" The name and function of this product made Yu Ran unimaginable, "Then I can just jump around in place!"
"No, this one can be counted."
Yu Ran raised the bar again: "I can count while jumping."
Chu Mian glared at him, and explained with an emphatic tone: "But you don't have the feeling of holding the skipping rope, and it can simulate the sense of gravity, and it won't hang on the object."
Yu Ran sneered a few times after listening to it, and commented concisely: "What a dick thing." Then he added, mocking Chu Mian: "I never thought that you would have a day when your IQ plummeted, and you would easily fall into the trap of high technology!"
Chu Mian's face darkened suddenly, and she packed up her things without saying a word, as if she meant not to give them away.
He can tolerate Yu Ran's contempt for this smart product, it's just ignorance; but he can't accept being despised by Yu Ran for his IQ, it's clearly a humiliation.
Only then did Yu Ran enter the state of caring for her boyfriend, hugged Chu Mian's waist, and changed his words in a good voice: "This kind of crystallization of human wisdom can only be imagined by a smart person like you, my wife is too smart and witty! It’s not like me, an ordinary person, when I see it, I can imagine it, dance lightly, dance youth, spring heart sprouts, dynamic superman... "
Chu Mian raised her hand to signal him to stop, and said helplessly, "I asked you to speak more idioms, not to play idioms solitaire."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Yu Ran pecked at the side of Chu Mian's face, and stretched out his hand to take back his gift.
"But seriously, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Chu Mian hugged a few brand new dolls, squinted at him, and said, "It's your fault, I think it's fine."
Yu Ran retorted: "Because you haven't seen 'that'... Damn, it's all Yu Jin's fault, he secretly put a folder on the computer called 'Surprise for Brother', I clicked on it right away, and it was really... full of beautiful things, It’s colorful and fascinating.”
Chu Mian poked him on the forehead, "Don't use these complimenting words to describe it."
"Why, it's not a bad thing." Yu Ran's smile was innocent, "Baabaa, do you want to see it? I still have it in my phone."
"dont see."
"Why, don't you want to study? You don't like studying the most."
"That's not trying to learn everything."
Yu Ran retracted into his arms resentfully, thought for a moment alone, and then asked sincerely: "Chu Mian, will we do the same in the future?"
Chu Mian was stumped by his question.
Yu Ran added: "If it weren't for Yu Jin, I still don't know that boys can be like girls, although it seems a little more scary... Chu Mian, are you afraid of pain?"
Chu Mian took a deep breath, and hurriedly replied in a low voice, "It's...it's too early for us to think about this."
"Well, I'm just curious, just asking." Yu Ran lay down relaxed, leaning against Chu Mian's chest, "Yu Jin saved a lot for me, I just saw one, my God, it really opened my eyes , astonishing."
He rubbed his head, and described the scene for Chu Mian while recalling: "At first, the two foreigners were polite, but after five minutes they chatted to comfort themselves. Well-dressed, with needles hidden in the cotton."
Chu Mian was confused by Yu Ran's words, but he still tried his best to keep up with his thinking rhythm.
"Then let's get to the point. Who would have thought that from this moment on, the picture would be blurry and illiterate. One of the men saw every stitch. Although it didn't hit the nail on the head, I was still scared and fast forwarded."
Yu Ran talked eloquently, and continued: "These two foreigners wielding knives and guns are unequivocal, killing two birds with one stone, deeply rooted; —”
Yu Ran let out an inconceivable "huh" and said, "As a result, one wave of ups and downs rose again, day after day, the man was able to bend and stretch! The other person was already stunned and trembling."
After he finished speaking, he still sighed unsatisfactorily.
Chu Mian was startled, and asked, "Is it over?"
"It's over." Yu Ran said, "Do you still want to hear it?"
Chu Mian shook her head quickly.
Yu Ran twiddled Chu Mian's heart with his fingers, he was alone, and after a while he said, "Chu Mian, I've thought about it, if there is such a day in the future, I'll endure the pain, I'm open to all kinds of people, I'm not afraid of pain."
His tone was too sincere, and Chu Mian didn't even guess whether it was a joke, but secretly said "How could I make you hurt".
"If there is such a day, the first thing I will do is to gag you." Chu Mian said in a deep voice.
Yu Ran raised his head with a chuckle, and snapped his tongue loudly at him, "It's okay to block it now."
Without hesitation, Chu Mian opened her lips slightly and kissed Yu Ran.
The years passed by quickly, and the bodies of the teenagers became taller and stronger, and the contours of their Adam's apples became more mature; they missed each other's body temperature during sleepless nights, and asked for each other's arms under the spotless light.
Those are two apples that are still green and sour and sweet, and no one has picked them.
"My baa-baa, she is as eloquent as a tongue." Yu Ran patted Chu Mian's cheek, "It made me a golden rooster independent..."
