kill a canary

"

Chen Ran opened his eyes and looked at him in surprise.

In Chen Ran's memory, Shen Yixiu would coax him and buy expensive gifts for him when he was upset and emotional, but he never apologized seriously.Chen Ran was still expressionless, but his heart was still a little touched.Did you hear me right?Shen Yixiu actually apologized to him?

Shen Yixiu continued: "These things recently..." He paused, as if he was thinking about the appropriate wording: "I may, indeed, probably, a little overreact. You are sick now, and I am also distressed. What happened in the past Forget it all, don't lose your temper, kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, why bother?"

Chen Ran looked at him, trying to see some conspiracy from his face, but found nothing, he didn't expect Shen Yixiu to say such a thing to him, he was at a loss, looked at Shen Yixiu, helpless Be right.

Shen Yixiu stroked the hair on his forehead with his hands, his eyes became soft: "Sun Yang said last night that you vomited blood, you know how anxious I am..." He held Chen Ran's hand, and lightly pressed Chen Ran's hand on his palm again. Scratching lightly: "Is there anything you want? How about opening another gallery for you at 798? ... Let me compensate you. Okay? I don't care so much when you make friends and go out to play in the future. This head office right?"

Chen Ran's eyes flickered, he knew that this was basically Shen Yixiu's bottom line, his Adam's apple slipped up and down, and he said uncertainly: "Really?"

Shen Yixiu thought thankfully and finally spoke. He came over overnight last night and saw that Chen Ran was unconscious, his pretty face was twisted and hideous due to the pain, and his little heart almost fell to the ground and shattered into slag. He lost all temper immediately.

"Really. You mean what you say. What's the matter? Will you believe me if I knock you off?" Shen Yixiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Chen Ran was hesitant about how to respond, Shen Yixiu's words to this point were unique and perhaps unprecedented in their four-year relationship, and it was simply an epic and historic victory for Chen Ran on his arduous journey against Shen's tyranny.If he made further progress, Shen Yixiu might transform himself, unleash the power of the prehistoric, and destroy the world.

Chen Ran was thinking, when Shen Yixiu's phone rang, he took it over and saw "Teacher Luo Qianluo" displayed on the screen.Shen Yixiu frowned slightly, glanced at Chen Ran, and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, Mr. Shen? I'm Luo Qian." Teacher Luo's voice sounded hurried.

"Mr. Luo, what's the matter?"

"Are you in Beijing? Sisi is sick and has acute appendicitis. She needs an operation and needs the signature of her guardian. If you're not here, let's see if we can fax or..."

"I'm here." Shen Yixiu interrupted Luo Qian before she finished speaking: "How is Sisi now? Can you send her to the city? Where are you now?"

Teacher Luo was a little bit embarrassed: "It's the traffic jam now, I don't know how long it will take to go to the city, Sisi is in severe pain... There is a hospital nearby, which is also a top three, and there are relatively few people. We are sending her there now ..."

"Okay. Then I'll go right away." Shen Yixiu asked Luo Qian to report the address, and agreed neatly.

As soon as Chen Ran heard that Sisi was ill, half of his illness was healed immediately, and the effect was immediate. He sat up from the bed and looked at Shen Yixiu eagerly. He gave it a moment, but he didn't expect Shen Yixiu to agree without hesitation.

Shen Yixiu hung up the phone and said to Chen Ran: "You heard it all, then I'll go."

Chen Ran: "I want to go too."

Shen Yixiu: "You haven't eaten yet."

Chen Ran: "I'll take it with me to eat in the car."

Shen Yixiu: "...", he hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement: "Well, you don't feel relieved if you are not allowed to go."

Chen Ran and Shen Yixiu came to the hospital in the suburbs. Teacher Luo and the others had already arrived. Chen Ran went into the ward to see Sisi.

Chen Ran tentatively held her hand, Sisi didn't move, let her hold it obediently, and said pitifully: "My stomach hurts."

Chen Ran comforted her: "It will be fine after a while, don't be afraid." He added silently in his heart: I also have a stomachache.

Chen Ran discussed with the doctor a few more words about his condition, and knowing that there was nothing to worry about in such a minor operation as appendicitis, he came out to find Shen Yixiu, and there was a little nurse standing beside Shen Yixiu, waiting for him to sign the informed consent form for the operation.The little nurse should have recognized him. A pair of big bright eyes above the white mask turned around, and there was no room for her happy little eyes.After a while, the little nurse probably thought that with her face covered, others couldn't see or remember her, so she stopped covering up immediately and stared straight at Shen Yixiu's flawless side face, brazenly "seeing adultery".

Shen Yixiu completely ignored the little girl's fiery eyes, and looked seriously at the thin piece of paper spread out on the table with indifferent eyes from behind the sunglasses.

He picked up the signature pen on the side and glanced at Chen Ran. Chen Ran couldn't see his eyes, but suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill for no reason.

Shen Yixiu twirled the pen twice between his fingers, then turned it over, as if unconsciously, lightly tapped the table twice with the end of the pen.

The two soft clicks echoed in the quiet corridor of the inpatient department, and they turned into the roar of war drums in Chen Ran's ears. His heart gradually sank in this insignificant sound. He pursed his lips tightly and looked at Shen Yixiu There was an unstoppable weakness and begging in his eyes.

Just when he was about to walk over to say something, Shen Yixiu lowered his eyebrows and signed his name on the consent form without haste.

Chen Ran let out a long breath, but his fingertips were still trembling uncontrollably. It took Shen Yixiu a few seconds, a movement so simple that he didn't even need to raise his hand, that all his previous rebellion and resistance vanished into nothingness, turning into the last Bad joke.

Shen Yixiu told Chen Ran calmly and plainly: If you can get everything you want in the end, it's not because you can take it, but because I want to give it to you.

……

After Shen Yixiu signed, he handed the paper to the little nurse, and said thank you very gentlemanly, then looked at Chen Ran with a smile: "Ran Ran, don't worry, it's just a minor operation."

Chen Ran had recovered from the momentary moment of quiet confrontation, he licked his dry lips, walked slowly to Shen Yixiu's side, looked up at him, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Shen Yixiu raised his hand to pinch his face, and said ambiguously, "Thank you slowly when you go home."

There were other children in the center to take care of. Luo Qian left a nurse, greeted Chen Ran and the others and left.Before the operation, some preparations are needed, and it will take the next day at the earliest. Shen Yixiu wants to take Chen Ran back first, but Chen Ran refuses to leave: "If you have something to do, go first, I want to accompany Sisi."

Shen Yixiu frowned, unhappy: "You're just a bit better..."

Chen Ran: "Anyway, this is a hospital, are you still worried that I will die here?"

Shen Yixiu was speechless, unable to hold Chen Ran back, so he had to agree, but he was worried about leaving him here, and finally sighed helplessly: "Then I will accompany you. Ask the driver to book a hotel nearby."

There are no international five-star hotel chains where Shen Yixiu usually lives nearby, so in the end they simply found a small business hotel next to the hospital.

Chen Ran originally wanted to stay with him in the hospital, but Shen Yixiu insisted on following him. He couldn't drag Shen Yixiu to live in the hospital, so he had to bite the bullet and go to open a room with Shen Yixiu.

After leaving the hotel, the driver took them to dinner. The driver was very nervous along the way, worried that Shen Yixiu was not satisfied with the hotel he found, and also worried that the place to eat was not to his liking. From time to time, he sneaked a few glances at his boss in the rearview mirror.

But Shen Yixiu didn't say anything, he sat gracefully on the back seat, his face sank like water, his eyes closed, and he held Chen Ran's hand.Chen Ran looked out the window, motionless.

When eating, Chen Ran could only drink porridge, and Shen Yixiu drank porridge with him.After eating, he went back to the hospital. Chen Ran sat beside Sisi and read to her the stories he found on his mobile phone. Shen Yixiu sat in the armchair behind him, looking at the mobile phone and flipping through the newspapers in the hospital.

Until midnight, Chen Ran unknowingly fell asleep lying on the bedside, Shen Yixiu came over and shook him lightly: "Go back to sleep for a while, there is a nurse, you can't help much here."

Chen Ran nodded confusedly, followed behind Shen Yixiu, there was no one in the hospital corridor in the middle of the night, Shen Yixiu simply took Chen Ran in his arms, and half-dragged and half-carried him back to the hotel.

After entering the door and turning on the light, Shen Yixiu found a few small cards stuck in the crack of the door, he bent down to pick them up, and handed them to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran was already awake, took it over and took a look, and immediately drew three black lines from the top of his head. The small card was all full of big-breasted beauties and passionate porn-photos, and beside it was written in colorful and bold letters "pure white-collar, pretty school girl, Beautiful young woman, handsome guy", "on call, security service", "official invoice provided" and so on.

Chen Ran read all the small cards, pointed to one of the long-legged girls in Japanese school uniform, and said to Shen Yixiu, "I like this one better."

Shen Yixiu: "..." and patted him on the head: "I can't tell, why don't you call for one to try? Let me tell you, it's probably 'wrong version', and the one who calls has to be shut down." You can only get hard if you close your eyes."

Chen Ran curled her lips: "Anyway, I can't get hard." Then she pointed to the three words on the bottom of one of the small cards and said, "Unless there really is a 'little handsome guy'..."

Shen Yixiu looked at him with a troubled face, and rolled his eyes towards the ceiling: "... Hurry up and take a shower!"

When Shen Yixiu came out of the shower, Chen Ran was still not asleep, but sat on the bed and waited for him.This small hotel is fairly clean, but the ventilation and sunshine are probably not good. There is a musty smell everywhere in summer, and the air conditioner is very noisy. In comparison, the sound of the small TV is negligible.

With her upper body naked and her lower body wrapped in a messy quilt, Chen Ran showed a standard "eight small white teeth" smile at Shen Yixiu. Under the warm light, this smile looked a bit like crying.

"What's wrong? Why don't you sleep?" Shen Yixiu casually wrapped a towel bought by the driver, and looked at Chen Ran with his arms around his chest, while water droplets dripped down his smooth and firm abdominal muscles.

"Sorry for letting you live in this kind of place..." Chen Ran lowered her head and whispered guiltily.

"It's nothing, some locations have much worse conditions than here." Shen Yixiu said nonchalantly, walked over and kissed Chen Ran's hair: "Go to sleep."

Chen Ran suddenly hugged his waist, buried her head in his chest, and asked in a muffled voice, "Do you want to do it?"

Shen Yixiu was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the hair on top of his head in surprise: "Huh? No, go to sleep."

"Do you think the environment here is not good?" Chen Ran raised his head, his eyes were calm, and there was an imperceptible, routine-like indifference on his face.

"No. You are sick, I won't bully you." Shen Yixiu said flatly, turned around and took out the medicine bottle and medicine box from his bag, divided the medicine carefully, and handed it to Chen Ran with a glass of warm water: "Take the medicine Bar."

Chen Ran took it obediently, ate it all in one gulp, and returned the cup to Shen Yixiu.

Shen Yixiu took the empty cup and put it on the opposite cabinet, and heard Chen Ran's small, unassuming voice behind him: "Then this, is it...forgive me?"

☆, reconciliation

Hearing these words, Shen Yixiu's heart seemed to be uncontrollable by his brain, and it hurt spontaneously and unexpectedly for no reason. He pushed the water glass back and forth on the smooth surface with both hands, as if using Such meaningless movements calmed down the panic and stiffness for a moment.

He understood what Chen Ran meant, Chen Ran was apologizing to him, and wishful thinking that if he had sex with him.It means that they ignored the past and reconciled as before.Just like a poor puppy, it thinks that if you are willing to throw the ball in its mouth, it will not be angry with it anymore.

It was indeed the case, every previous dispute and conflict ended with Chen Ran's bowing his head and giving in, and his nearly punishing sex-love towards Chen Ran.It's just that it took them a long time to solve the problem this time.

Shen Yixiu didn't understand why he didn't have the joy of a conqueror's victory this time, but his heart was full of anxiety and loss.Isn't what he wants is Chen Ran's pleasing face, young and attractive body and companionship within reach?Since all these belonged to him now, and only to him, what was there to worry about?

Shen Yixiu seemed to have convinced himself, he gave up the urge to explain to Chen Ran—I didn't mean to threaten you with Sisi, my apology today is sincere—these words, and hummed almost inaudibly. A response to Chen Ran's uneasy question.

Chen Ran seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her body fell down on the pillow and did not move.

……

After Sisi had the operation, she was recuperating in the hospital for two days. Chen Ran stayed with Sisi, and Shen Yixiu stayed with Chen Ran. Sisi could finally be discharged from the hospital. The two of them sent her back to the care center.Shen Yixiu finally finished the re-education of high-level cadres' children going to the mountains and going to the countryside to experience life in a small business hotel, and brought his daughter-in-law Chen Ran back to the city.

Chen Ran finally got better. He no longer had to look at each other with porridge and side dishes, and he could eat something that could sustain the scene.

So on this day, Shen Yixiu personally drove his queen's leisure mini, and took Chen Ran to find something delicious.

"What do you want to eat?" Shen Yixiu looked out of the window while starting the car, it rained a little at noon, and the ground is still wet, the water is steaming, not hot but sticky.

"Spicy crayfish." Chen Ran said without exception, playing with his fingers.

Shen Yixiu glanced at him: "Shut up, you. Forget about the pain after the scar is healed, what spicy crayfish should I order for my stomach?"

"Then go to the buffet, I'm lazy." Chen Ran flipped through his phone boredly, Zeng Mochen hadn't sent him a message for a few days, so Chen Ran was half relaxed and half lonely thinking.

Shen Yixiu nodded, called Sun Yang to reserve a seat for him, turned the car around, and drove onto the main road.The white top, red body and flamboyant Mini Cooper is like a koi, passing through the sea of ​​cars quickly and smoothly.

The radio station in the car was playing the title song "Fish" of Xu Yuan's new album. Her voice was ethereal and ethereal, with a touch of immortality, which was very suitable for singing love songs of longing and reminiscence with a touch of sadness.

——I would rather be a fish, forget you after seven seconds, and no longer have any regrets

I would rather be a fish, see you again in seven seconds, it will be another surprise

Fish can love you for a lifetime and forget you for seven seconds

and I can only

Falling in love with you in seven seconds, forgetting you in a lifetime...

Chen Ran listened and hummed a few times, then suddenly turned his head, his eyes were as clear as water, and asked Shen Yixiu softly: "Have you ever loved her?"

"Who?"

"..."

"Xu Yuan."

Shen Yixiu shook his head expressionlessly, and tilted his head to look at Chen Ran: "What exactly is 'love'? Are you talking about it?"

Chen Ran lowered his head, he regretted asking such a nonsensical question, he and Shen Yixiu had no need to talk about "feelings", just like a group of scumbags who are not qualified to discuss how many solutions there are to a problem.In terms of relationship, he and Shen Yixiu are probably scumbags who will never pass the exam. He has no chance, and Shen Yixiu has no idea.

"Probably...", but since the question is out of your mouth, you have to bite the bullet and answer the question thrown back by others: "It means that you are happy when you see him, miss him when you don't see him, and want to put all your good things away when you don't see him sad. Give him everything. After a long time, the feeling may fade, and he will become your eyes, a part of your body. When he is there, he doesn’t feel much. Once he is gone, the whole world will be dark.” Chen Ran said After finishing, he swallowed embarrassingly, and added in a low voice: "I can't bear others to share him."

Shen Yixiu turned his head and looked straight ahead, thought for a while, seemed to be joking, but also said seriously: "Then I might fall in love with you."

Chen Ran didn't even think about it, she smiled indifferently, said nothing, and put a sweet double quotation mark on the word "falling in love" in her heart.

If Shen Yixiu can fall in love with someone, then Yu can also participate in the World Memory Championships.

Shen Yixiu didn't take Chen Ran's obviously contemptuous and disdainful attitude seriously, as if he also understood and acquiesced that his words were treated as a joke by Chen Ran.While waiting for the red light, he tapped the steering wheel casually with the rhythm of the song, as if he suddenly thought of something interesting, a bright smile appeared on his face with sharp lines and deep contours, which made him bathed in the sunset The face in the warm light softened, like spring water gurgling by.

"Have you heard that joke? It's about fish?" Shen Yixiu said with great interest.

"What joke?" Chen Ran answered naturally.

Shen Yixiu raised one corner of his mouth and smiled mischievously, like a kid trying to play tricks: "You are a shark. You heard that the memory of a fish is only seven seconds, so you decided to rape the hairtail. You finally seized the opportunity to rape the hairtail. - raped, after the incident, hairtail cried and said to you, I'm going to sue you, you raped me..."

Chen Ran was stunned, and pondered for a long time: "Huh? What the hell? Why did I rape hairtail?" Still didn't understand at all.

"Hahahaha..." Shen Yixiu smiled brightly, out of breath: "Haha...Ran Ran, you are still...hahaha...too pure..."

Chen Ran blankly recalled that joke again, understood it this time, and immediately rolled her eyes at Shen Yixiu in embarrassment, couldn't help but pursed her lips into a smile, and said sourly: "I didn't expect you to tell dirty jokes..."

With a gentle smile, Shen Yixiu stretched out his big hand and rubbed Chen Ran's hair, then touched his chest twice, and said vaguely: "I can't just talk..."

Chen Ran's cheeks were hot from his teasing, a layer of intoxicating blush emerged, and the secret desire-desire in the depths of his body rushed left and right.It is said that the two of them are busy getting angry and sick these days, although Shen Yixiu has been by Chen Ran's side all the time, they really have a few days to do, which is really unprecedented.

……

The cafeteria is on the top floor of the hotel, with a glass skylight on the top, but unfortunately you can't see the stars, only a lonely crescent moon.

Shen Yixiu cut Chen Ran's veal steak and said casually, "The city is full of light pollution. When I'm free, I'll take you to New Zealand to see the stars."

Chen Ran smiled sweetly: "Okay. I also want to watch the koalas."...

The two talked and laughed, and it was the most harmonious and warm meal Chen Ran had had since he was 23 years old.

After eating, Shen Yixiu and Chen Ran went home and played Resident Evil on Wii for a while. After being eaten to pieces by zombies again, Shen Yixiu finally let out a long sigh, stretched himself, put the controller aside, and put one hand on the Leaning on the sofa behind his head, he took Chen Ran's hand with one hand: "Let's take a bath, together?"

Chen Ran nodded and went to the bathroom to turn on the water.

Soon the big bathtub was filled with warm water, and the dense water vapor transpired in the air, condensing into small water droplets on the white tiles and glass mirrors of the bathroom. The hand caresses the naked person.

Standing behind Chen Ran, Shen Yixiu looked at Chen Ran in the mirror in front of him together. Shen Yixiu raised his hand to touch Chen Ran's thin cheek, licked the sensitive part behind his ear, and whispered: "You recently A little thin, Ran Ran."

slowly……

When these two words came out of Shen Yixiu's mouth, it seemed to have magic power, and his deep and sexy voice brought out a kind of intimacy and unique charm.Shen Yixiu likes to call him like this, as if these two words came out of his mouth, it gave Chen Ran a seal of "Shen Yixiu exclusive", as if these two words were an invisible rope, enough to hold Chen Ran in prison. tied tightly to him.

Shen Yixiu slid into the bathtub, the depths of his eyes filled with water vapor shimmered, and he said to Chen Ran: "Come here, Ran Ran."

Chen Ran took a deep breath, stepped into the bathtub, and sat in front of him.

Shen Yixiu hugged Chen Ran from behind, and kissed his earlobes and shoulders intimately while splashing water on his body.Except for the punitive aggression to declare sovereignty and control over Chen Ran, in peacetime, Shen Yixiu has always been very patient with the foreplay, he likes to tease Chen Ran very much, watching him want to stop but being tense , I found it very interesting, if Chen Ran couldn't help but become active, then he would be pleasantly surprised, as if he had won a big battle, but Chen Ran rarely took the initiative, basically only a handful number.

Chen Ran responded to his actions passively but also actively, just like a conscientious laborer.He turned his head, closed his eyes, and kissed Shen Yixiu's lips. Soon, the two were entangled in the water.The feeling of being in the water is amazing, the buoyancy makes the body lighter, and even the spirit relaxes. The heat makes their heads dizzy, and the body and soul go up and down with the movement and the current, up and down, up and down .

The foam floated around Chen Ran's body, making his skin extremely smooth. Shen Yixiu couldn't put it down. After another deep kiss, he finally couldn't help it. He casually slapped a handful of foam on Chen Ran's body, almost It entered his body without any resistance.

The hot water became warmer and cooler, and they put in new ones again. During the second time, Shen Yixiu made Chen Ran kneel in the bathtub. The bottom of the bathtub was hard and slippery. Chen Ran tensed her body to fix her posture, but every time When Shen Yixiu pushed forward, his knee inevitably slid forward, rubbed against the bottom and then hit the side wall of the bathtub, causing painful bumps every time.But he held back and said nothing, not wanting to disappoint Shen Yixiu.

Shen Yixiu ban-I have been wanting for these days, I finally let go tonight, tossing Chen Ran until midnight, and the next day I woke up, still not satisfied, teasing Chen Ran alone as if entertaining myself, woke up in the morning full of energy Little brother, but Chen Ran himself hasn't woken up yet, so he is still a little annoyed to get up. While pulling Shen Yixiu's dishonest hand weakly, he said unhappily: "What are you doing? I'm really sleepy..."

Shen Yixiu didn't insist either, looking at his watch, it was indeed getting late, and he had to go out to earn money to support Chen Ran, so he had to suck and bite several mouthfuls of kisses between Chen Ran's neck and collarbone unwillingly. Just give up and get ready to get up.After he got up, he wanted to cover Chen Ran with the quilt again, but he accidentally saw Chen Ran's exposed knees, both knees were torn, and there were two big bruises, which were very conspicuous on Chen Ran's fair legs , like sticking two pieces of dog skin plaster.

"What's the matter..." Shen Yixiu was about to ask, but suddenly thought that he should have been injured by himself last night, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Why didn't you say you were uncomfortable? I didn't care about so much at that time..."

"Huh?" Chen Ran came to his senses, sat up and hugged his knees to block the injury, and said indifferently: "It's okay, as long as you are happy."

Ordinarily, this should be an extremely obedient and obedient sentence, but Shen Yixiu didn't feel relieved at all when he heard it. Instead, he was so blocked that he was most afraid of Chen Ran's "gentle resistance", which made him unable to lose his temper even if he wanted to , he stared at Chen Ran, and wanted to ask him "what the hell are you thinking these days", but when he thought of the relationship between the two of them finally getting better, Chen Ran didn't mention the breakup again, so he swallowed the words gone back.

After being silent for a while, Chen Ran avoided Shen Yixiu's gaze, and said without words: "I heard you said that you were sick on the weekend? Is it serious? Do you want to go and see?"

Shen Yixiu followed these words and put aside what he just said, while getting dressed, he said: "It's nothing serious, I had a minor operation, and I should be discharged from the hospital, Lin Yihui has been with me all this time."

Chen Ran snorted, no wonder, if Lin Yihui hadn't been in the hospital to accompany him on the weekend, Lin Yihui would have been unable to resist going to a small business hotel in the suburbs to bring him and Shen Yixiu back.

When Shen Yixiu came back from washing, he saw Chen Ran leaning on the head of the bed in a daze, went over and kissed him on the forehead, and said, "I don't have time to cook for you, I took a look, there are still sandwiches in the refrigerator, you want to have breakfast yourself , do you know? What are you going to do today?"

Chen Ran thought for a while, and replied: "Go around the store, and go to the Civic Square to sing at night." Seeing that Shen Yixiu didn't seem very happy, he added: "Is that okay?"

Shen Yixiu originally wanted to express his objection, but he couldn't say anything when he asked this question. A few days ago, he swore that he would not care about Chen Ran going out to play and make friends anymore, so he nodded and said: " What time do you come back? I'll pick you up."

Chen Ran did not refuse.Watch him go out.

☆, gift

Chen Ran went out at noon and went straight to his coffee shop. It was still on summer vacation, so there were fewer people in the shop, and the part-time schoolgirls were not there. There was only the store manager, Xiao Zhao, and a regular clerk.When Chen Ran arrived, the clerk was slowly wiping the table, and Xiao Zhao was dozing off behind the counter.

"Boss, boss, bring me an American cup." Chen Ran knocked on the counter twice, looking out from above the sunglasses, and said with a half-smile.

"Oh, wait a minute..." Xiao Zhao Mimi opened his eyes and saw that it was Chen Ran, and suddenly became fully awake: "Ah, the boss is here! Why didn't you say something in advance, look at this, hahaha .”

Chen Ran shook his head, and didn't bother to talk to him, thinking that he was really not good for business, so the two employees were not afraid of him: "Give me spaghetti bolognese. Our chef doesn't know how to do it." Are you asleep?"

"Hahaha, how can it be?" Xiao Zhao said with a smile, went to the back kitchen to wake up the chef, and made food for Chen Ran.

Now that small coffee shops are popping up all over the place, it’s impossible to survive without some simple meals. Chen Ran doesn’t care about making money, but he just thinks it’s nice to have a place where people can talk.

Chen Ran walked to the seat by the window and sat down, looking at the seat next to the bookshelf in the middle, thinking of the three lively boys sitting there talking and laughing that day, a pain and loneliness like a slow knife cutting flesh came to his heart, he thought , even just sitting next to them and listening to them talk, just doing this will give him the illusion of being accompanied and needed.But now, he was alone again, and there was a lot of traffic outside the window, but it had nothing to do with him.

"Boss, this was sent by a student yesterday, and he told me to hand it over to you." Chen Ran was staring out of the window in a daze, when Xiao Zhao walked up to him, holding a paper bag in his hand.

Chen Ran took it in surprise and flipped through it. Inside was his T-shirt that Zeng Mochen had worn away, neatly folded, a record, and a note.

"Did he say anything else?" It must have been sent by Zeng Mochen. He went back to school?But it's the end of August soon, and it's normal to come back.

"Nothing. Ask me if you've been here recently. Boss, is this your friend?"

Chen Ran didn't answer, and unfolded the note. Zeng Mochen's handwriting was quite beautiful: Chen Ran, I heard you sing the song of the 'Backyard Boys' band in the Civic Square before. This is their first album. I was still in junior high school, and I went to the signing event to buy it.Give it to you, hope you like it.How are you recently?

The record was very old, and the plastic box was severely worn and scratched. Chen Ran turned it over to have a look, and carefully put it back into the paper bag.

It is said that courtesies are reciprocal, Zeng Mochen gave him a gift, so he just ignored it and didn't respond, right?Chen Ran found this plausible reason, immediately took out his mobile phone and searched Taobao, and bought an air conditioner fan after a while, thinking that this should be used in the dormitory, and wrote down the address of University B and Zeng Mochen's phone number, so that he should be able to received.

After finishing all this, Chen Ran smiled and was in a good mood, eating up a plate of pasta.

In the afternoon, I read a book in the store, and took a batch of small things from Taobao for the store, such as aromatherapy, artificial flowers, bookmarks, and discussed with Xiao Zhao that there should be a themed promotion for the start of school, and before I knew it, it was night , After eating in the store, Chen Ran drove home to pick up the guitar, thinking that Shen Yixiu insisted on picking him up, so he had to take a taxi to the Civic Center.

When the lights came on, the crowd was still bustling. Since the night of his birthday, he hadn't come back. Remembering that he had some conflicts with the "indigenous" band that night, Chen Ran simply stood in the corner today.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if anyone listens, he just needs something to do and needs to stand in the crowd.

Chen Ran's mind was full of the songs of the "Backyard Boys". The band was popular for a while, and they are still there, in a half-dead state. Chen Ran sang their songs, and after a while, a small circle of people surrounded him.

Most of his audience are women, and the types are very extreme. They are either aunts who dance in the square dance during the intermission, or students who have eaten during the summer vacation and have not done their homework. Chen Ran probably knows that most of them are not really listening. He sang, and most of the time he came just to see him, or to be more precise, to see his face.

Chen Ran was not surprised. If someone took a picture rudely, he would lower his head a little and not get angry.He also met some strange people here, the most normal ones were those who came to sell houses, fitness cards and English learning courses; there were also self-proclaimed talent scouts who wanted to find him, but he declined Just kidding, he is Shen Yixiu, the entertainment predator. If Shen Yixiu is willing, he will be promoted as a superstar in no time; there have been fangirls or people who eat melons before posting his photos and singing videos on the Internet, but As soon as someone paid attention, Shen Yixiu asked someone to delete it.

Shen Yixiu has a strong desire to monopolize him, the entertainment industry?Even if Qing became a puddle of autumn water, he couldn't even think about it.

On this day, I met another person who struck up a conversation. When Chen Ran was drinking water and taking a rest, a young man in gaudy clothes and greasy hair came over. He walked to a distance of one meter from Chen Ran and stopped in his tracks.

"Little brother sings well." The man's Mandarin is not very standard, but his smile is quite sincere.

"Thank you." Chen Ran said coldly, bent down - ready to pack up and leave.

The man continued to talk with a smile: "How much money do you make singing all night?"

Chen Ran looked up at him, and said perfunctorily, "Not necessarily."

The man shrugged: "I have a suitable job for you here, if you want..."

Chen Ran was a little annoyed, and before he finished speaking, he interrupted: "Thank you, no need."

The man was not angry either. He grinned, revealing a row of small white teeth, which seemed to be inlaid with gold, blinking: "I don't need it now, maybe I will use it later." He put it into Chen Ran's guitar case. Throwing away a business card, he said, "My surname is Bai, and I work in a famous city."

Chen Ran wanted to leave quickly, so he nodded hurriedly, picked up the guitar, turned around and left without looking back.

Shen Yixiu just parked his red Mini on the side of the road and was about to call Chen Ran when he saw a man talking to Chen Ran from his hair to his fingernails. Get out of the car and go to have a look, Chen Ran has already walked to the side, and then the phone he was still holding in his hand rang.

"Brother Yixiu, where have you been? I want to go."

"On your left. I see you."

Shen Yixiu hung up the phone, honked the horn, Chen Ran turned around in the crowd, saw his car, smiled slightly, and ran over.

Chen Ran walks through the night square and the hustle and bustle of people. The street lamps are like the eyes of a lover, casting a soft and melancholy light on his young face, making him the only bright color in the dark background.

Seeing Chen Ran running towards him like this, Shen Yixiu suddenly felt extremely peaceful in his heart. A small numbing electric current passed through the heart bones and extended to all the limbs, which surprised and panicked him.

Chen Ran threw the guitar on the back seat, sat in the co-pilot casually, and saw Shen Yixiu had a weird look on his face, like an exaggerated expression that stopped at the moment when the director called out, and then quickly returned to normal , It's a bit embarrassing for a while to change.

"What are you thinking?" Chen Ran carefully looked at Shen Yixiu for a few minutes.
