"Sure enough, the movie you picked is good. I just uninstalled Maoyan and Douban. The ratings are not as accurate as your intuition." Chu Mian has superb eyesight. He is like this when encountering any trivial matter, and he likes to praise others without sparing any effort, which makes Chu Mian almost feel embarrassed.
During the New Year's Day holiday, it is rare for Chu Mian to rest for a few days, but Yu Ran has to worry about applying for the school. After the admission brochures of various colleges and universities were announced, he and Chu Heng studied one by one, arranged according to the exam time, and listed their wishes.
"There are too many. You want to apply for twelve majors in the school in Beijing alone. Regardless of the time conflict, so many exams will definitely make you physically and mentally exhausted." Chu Heng persuaded him to reconsider.
Yu Ran hesitated for a moment, but still smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, Sister Heng, I'll just get through these days, I'm not afraid of being tired."
He has a deep obsession with Beijing, because there is a future agreed with Chu Mian. In addition to CAFA, his first choice, he also wants to seize opportunities from other Beijing schools.
The results of the 2015 Ronggang Art Entrance Examination came out yesterday. Less than 3,000 people signed up. Yu Ran scored 273 in three subjects, ranking ninth in the city. Although it was slightly lower than his ideal score, but with the top ten entrance exam results, he still had a wide range of choices.
After looking at several websites, Chu Heng finally started to sign up for him. Chu Mian watched from the side, silently memorizing the college and major that Yu Ran applied for.
Seeing the words "registration successful" displayed on the webpage, Yu Ran finally felt a sense of urgency in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, a little cold sweat was still oozing out of his palms.
He went back to the room to check the remaining paint, Chu Mian came in to help, and casually mentioned: "The majors you signed up for all have high requirements for cultural courses."
"Yeah. But let's talk about these after I finish all the exams, and I don't have time to review now." Yu Ran has already read the admissions brochures several times. The colleges and universities in Beijing pay great attention to cultural courses, especially Chinese and English. , Central America will also select the top few college entrance examination scores.
This means that he has probably lost to others before taking the test.
Yu Ran took a little time to accept such rules, and quickly cheered up, but he found that Chu Mian was more depressed than himself, as if he was worrying about the art test for him.
"Don't worry, the number of students enrolled this year has not decreased too much. As long as the major is easy to test, there is still great hope." Yu Ran leaned over and touched Chu Mian's arm.
"I know." Chu Mian said.
"Then why did you sigh just now? I heard it."
Chu Mian didn't answer, she wiped off the dripping paint on the floor with a paper towel, and pretended to be careless after a long time before muttering, "New Year's is almost here."
"Yeah, it's still the year of the goat! Baa baa, your birth year!" Yu Ran was faintly excited.
Chu Mian's breathing became heavy, and she denied, "I'm a rat."
He guessed that Yu Ran couldn't understand his obscurity, so he had to ask bluntly: "You won't come back after the new year, right?"
Yu Ran was startled, counted the days slowly, nodded, "Well, go directly to the exam, and then it's time to go back to school."
After speaking, reluctance welled up in his heart, and he knew that Chu Mian must feel the same way, so he opened his mouth to ease the tense atmosphere: "The sun and the moon are flying like a boat, and a white horse is passing by. I haven't taken advantage of you yet."
Chu Mian had no expression on her face, she just said, "If you want to come, you can come anytime."
Chu Mian meant to welcome him to his home at any time, but Yu Ran understood that "you are welcome to take advantage of it anytime", so he hurriedly nodded and raised his head to kiss Chu Mian's side face.
The less time two people spend together, the more willing they are to consider each other. Chu Mian contacted her driver in advance and asked him to take Yu Ran to the examination room later, and also helped Yu Ran book a few hotels close to the test site, as well as a balanced breakfast and dinner.
"During the Chinese New Year, don't overeat, don't stay up late." Chu Mian told him, looked at her closet again, took out an unopened black wallet and gave it to him.
On the day Yu Ran returned home, Yu Jin waited early at the gate of the community. He saw that his brother had nothing in his hand except the suitcase and painting tools, so he walked away disappointed, refusing to help carry the things.
After the college entrance examination, Yu Ran didn’t go home. When he entered the house, he found that the house had changed. Several pieces of furniture had been replaced, making the living room bigger and easier to clean. The bedrooms were all occupied by Yu Jin, and the sheets and quilts were brand new. , The host computer also changed the brand.
Li Guirong said that this is "new year and new weather", and she wanted to make her two sons feel better and bring good luck for this year's college entrance examination.
Lying on the bed, Yu Jin asked wearily, "Brother, is it difficult to draw? I might as well learn to draw after I finish the high school entrance examination. After learning it for two or three years, I don't need the college entrance examination like you!"
"Who said I don't need the college entrance examination, I still have to get 75% of the first-line score."
Yu Jin has no idea about the terminology of the college entrance examination. He has been tortured by the high school entrance examination review for half a year and has no time to fall in love, so he has the idea of taking the art test in the future, so as to reduce the burden of study. But Li Guirong definitely disagreed. To be precise, he didn't believe that he would be as calm as his brother.
Compared with himself, my brother can get the adjective "stable"... Yu Jin was very unconvinced and felt humiliated by his mother.
If the art test fails, Yu Jin has to think about other crooked ways, and right now only Yu Ran is the most reliable.
"Brother, have you met your sister-in-law's parents? They don't object to you, right?" Yu Jin is very concerned about his brother's love life, "When will you buy a house to live together? If you need to sweep the floor, remember to call me."
Yu Ran raised his eyelids and sneered, "Why do you want to be a mop?"
"I'll be very good, listen to you!" Yu Jin begged, "Oh, why don't I go to technical school, I really can't study anymore, it's too difficult, chemistry is killing me."
Yu Ran looked at the ceiling and thought about his words, and said, "It's not impossible to go to a technical school, but... I don't want you to enter the society so early, it must be harder than your peers."
I didn't expect my brother to have such a caring and loving side, Yu Jin's eyes were hot, and he was moved: "Well! Then you have to work hard, so that I can spend my life drinking, eating and waiting to die in the future, and be the most relaxed among my peers!"
"Get lost, who will work hard for you." Yu Ran kicked him away.
Before the school exam starts, Yu Ran reviews cultural subjects at home, specializing in liberal arts. Affected by Chu Mian, his English scores are actually not bad, and he can get above the grade average every time; but his Chinese scores are ridiculously poor, and he has almost failed since the second year of high school, which often makes Teacher Wang furious.
"First memorize the required chapters for the college entrance examination without typos, and then do the special training for the multiple-choice questions I gave you last time." Chu Mian called him to explain in detail.
"Okay, what about the composition?" Yu Ran asked eagerly, "I just found out that the composition score of the college entrance examination is actually 60! It is higher than my Chinese score in the whole year of high school!"
"When the full score is forty, what is the average score of your argumentative essay?"
"Depending on the situation, if I write seriously, I can get 18; but if I write randomly, I can get 28! The teacher's vision is not good, how do you think I should improve my score?"
Chu Mian was silent for a few seconds, and said, "You should write scribbles, the more against your will, the better."
Yu Ran let out a long sigh, feeling sad for Ronggang's exam-oriented education.
After entering February, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights and festoons, and the glass of each residential building is covered with crimson window grilles. On New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers continued, and Yu Ran finished painting a few exercises before washing up and going to bed.
There is still one week before the official school exam, so Yu Ran packed his things and went to Beijing two days in advance, met the driver of Chu Mian's house, and went to the exam room to confirm the registration information.
"Have you arrived at the hotel yet?" Chu Mian asked in a text message.
Yu Ran dropped the suitcase and replied: "Just entered."
He took off his heavy down jacket and threw himself on the big soft bed. After running around all morning, he was very hungry, so he immediately contacted the hotel to deliver food.
"I'm almost at your place." Chu Mian said.
After a while, the door of the room was knocked lightly three times. Yu Ranju walked over with a cotton mop, and when he opened the door, a tall and tall figure came into view.
Before he could remember to say hello, Chu Mian walked in without saying a word.
Yu Ran smelled the scent of honeydew melon on his chest, which was much fresher than the various flower-based emollients before. Chu Mian seems to have grown a little taller after only a few weeks without time to see each other. When Yu Ran hugged him, his shoulders almost blocked his vision.
"Didn't you go back to Ronggang early?" Yu Ran let go of his arms and helped Chu Mian hang up his coat.
Chu Mian walked to the sofa and sat down, and wrote lightly, "I don't worry about you struggling alone. With so many test points, you will definitely lose everything. And I know Beijing better than you, so I can take a shortcut for lunch."
"I remember that school has already started, did you ask for leave?"
"Just a few days, don't delay things." Chu Mian said, smiling at Yu Ran, "I'll go back after I accompany you to Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts."
"You are quite clear about my application."
Yu Ran didn't rest enough just now, and now he collapsed directly next to Chu Mian, and the two squeezed together on the small sofa. Chu Mian only took one kind of medicine today, relying on coffee to refresh her mind, and now she is sleepy.
Yu Ran asked him to lie on the bed to sleep, but Chu Mian shook his head and said, "I can stay with you longer when I'm awake."
"How about I punch you? Help you refresh yourself." Yu Ran asked earnestly.
Chu Mian clicked her tongue, "You might as well tell me a joke."
"You've heard what I'm going to say... Hey, this way, I'm going to make a quick turn." Yu Ran said enthusiastically, "Please listen to the question: I use your mouth when you use it, and you use it By hand?"
Chu Mian's mind went blank for a while, then she looked at Yu Ran suspiciously, and asked, "Are you serious about the question?"
Yu Ran nodded firmly.
"I don't know." Chu Mian stared ahead, refusing to answer the question.
Yu Ran pretended to be mysterious and laughed, "With your intelligence, you must know it by now, right?"
"I really do not know."
"Then I'll announce the answer—it's the name! Stupid baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Chu Mian let out a muffled "Oh" and pursed her lips.
The smile at the corner of Yu Ranzui deepened, and he leaned forward and asked gently: "To be honest, did you think wrong just now?"
Chu Mian frowned slightly, doubts appeared on her face, and explained: "I didn't guess any answer."
"I don't believe it. I tricked a lot of people with this sharp turn, and they all fell for it!"
Chu Mian turned to stare at him, and asked back, "Then you have the nerve to say that you took the question seriously?"
Yu Ran laughed "hehe" a few times, pressed his chin on Chu Mian's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I'm trying to tease you tactfully, you always think I'm too straightforward, but you don't give me any hints, How do I know if you have any needs..." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Chu Mian lightly, and asked, "Do you want to have an indirect kiss with yourself?"
Chu Mian hesitated to speak, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
After all, the two hadn't been in touch for a long time. They were either busy with art exams or homework during the winter vacation, so they had to solve the situation by themselves.
"Just half an hour." Chu Mian said. He didn't want Yu Ran to waste too much time on this matter and delay his rest.
Chu Mian sat on the sofa, leaned down, and cooperated with Yu Ran to find a suitable angle. Due to the backlog for a while, he easily catered to him, and was surrounded by Yu Ran's moist heat.
But after a few seconds, Chu Mian pushed Yu Ran away abruptly, almost out of self-preservation.
"What?" Chu Mian bent down in disbelief, pinched Yu Ran's cheeks, and observed what was in his mouth. I saw that the tip of Yu Ran's tongue was covered with tiny pale pink particles, like some kind of medicine, and there seemed to be sound after listening carefully.
Yu Ran closed his mouth and answered truthfully: "Jumping candy."
Chu Mian narrowed his eyes in confusion, no wonder the thing made him feel like he was being pricked by a needle. He didn't have time to teach Yu Ran, and immediately got up to get the shower, and rinsed off the sugar stained spot.
Yu Ran followed, leaning against the door, realizing that he had made a mistake again, and obediently apologized: "It's my fault, don't you feel pain?"
"It doesn't hurt." Chu Mian dried it off with a towel, "But it's not uncomfortable either."
Yu Ran sighed and said, "I don't believe the postings on the Internet anymore."
After going out, Chu Mian asked him to sit down. Yu Ran didn't expect it to be his turn so soon, he was concerned about Chu Mian's unrelieved state, but also embarrassed to ask more, afraid that Chu Mian would punish him with popping candies.
Yu Ran looked up at the chandelier in the room, it was soft and bright, not glaring at all. Chu Mian was many times stronger than him no matter what, he unconsciously clenched the white sheet and held his breath.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the room again, and it was the hotel staff who came to deliver the food.
Chu Mian turned a deaf ear, just raised her eyelids, and glanced at Yu Ran's face.
"Come back later!" Yu Ran hastily issued an order.
"Okay sir, we will call you five minutes before delivery." The waiter was polite outside and pushed the dining car away.
Yu Ran let out a long sigh of relief, and found that his back was wet with sweat. His arms gradually lost strength, his breathing trembled a little, and gradually became urgent. All the ambiguous responses in his mouth were finally released into the name of the other party.
Chu Mian immediately stood up, went to the table and took a tissue to cover her mouth.
Yu Ran was too lazy to move, watching Chu Mian walking back and forth in the room.
"Baa baa, hard work."
Chu Mian didn't speak, just drank water silently.
When Chu Mian approached again, Yu Ran realized that his face and neck were completely red, and even his ears felt hot.
"I'll ask the hotel to bring you some mints, you wait." Yu Ran turned to pick up the phone.
"It's okay." Chu Mian held his wrist.
Yu Ran cupped his cheeks worriedly, "Why is your voice hoarse?"
Chu Mian explained: "It has nothing to do with you, I have been reciting ancient poems at home these days."
Just as Yu Ran was about to say something, Chu Mian said to him: "I haven't checked how much you memorized during the winter vacation."
"A lot!" Yu Ran put on his clothes and grinned at him, "I recited that, 'A friend came from afar...'"
"This is the content of elementary school." Chu Mian interrupted him, "Don't try to fool around."
As a result, Yu Ran didn't listen to him, and continued to chant: "A friend comes from afar, and I will send him away from thousands of miles away."
Chu Mian fell into a long silence after listening.
After Yu Ran finished reading this sentence, he hugged Chu Mian and stuck it in his arms, reciting the next song in a cadenced voice: "There is a ventriloquist in Beijing, whose surname is Chu Mingbaa."
Chu Mian immediately pinched Yu Ran's waist hard. Although she didn't pinch much flesh, it still made him frown in pain.
However, what Yu Ran is best at is patience. He laughed fearlessly, and continued: "I will have a big banquet with my boyfriend, my lips are red and my teeth are white.
Chu Mian lowered her head, raised her eyebrows and asked, "'The momentum is like a broken bamboo'? I am obviously much gentler than you."
"Yes yes yes." Yu Ran echoed him gratifiedly, "I am full of praise."
