cool autumn

After the mid-term exam, the school teachers exchanged the test papers for correction, and all the corrections were completed four days later.

"Comrades, comrades, the exciting time has come..." A class representative holding the test paper held up the test paper, with a look of pride and determination to win the War of Resistance. If you ignore his little short man, cough, actually look It still looks very imposing.

The students in the class gathered one after another, clamoring to find their own test papers, but Mu Wei persuaded them to go back with a few words, and urged the team leaders of each group to come out to collect the test papers for distribution, and each student sat back quietly. .

"Wang Minyu, 95 points..."

"Li xx. 87 points..."

"Liu xx, 93 points..."

Each of these group leaders is very interesting, and each time they post one, they shout loudly, as if they were comparing each other enthusiastically.It's no wonder that when Zhou Ran asked them to review by themselves, they said that groups are competitors, so don't look too far. When your study circle has formed such a learning competition atmosphere, you are not afraid of academic performance. Can't go up.

The head teacher looked at his students with satisfaction from beginning to end, and when he heard the grades, the wrinkles at the end of his eyes deepened, and he smiled contentedly and proudly.

But when he caught sight of Zhou Ran from the corner of his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched. I don’t know what’s wrong with this poor kid recently. If he doesn’t pay attention, he can hold an apple and gnaw it. Otherwise, it’s strawberries, peaches and other fruits. I haven't seen him stop talking. He didn't even go home for lunch these days, saying that he ate in the school cafeteria, but she met him several times, but she didn't even eat, and he was only eating fruit. It made her wonder for a while whether Zhou Ran's family was poor and had nothing to eat.

After thinking about it, the class teacher stepped forward and stood in front of Zhou Ran, gently reminding him, "Zhou Ran, don't eat too much during lunch break, because the students on duty saw it..." The words "not good influence" ended up being Choking to death in the mouth, I saw Zhou Ran biting a strawberry and looking at her blankly, even the kitten in the drawer looked at her with the same warm eyes, cough, she definitely didn't get poked cute .

After choking for a long time, the head teacher waved his hand and turned his head to tell him to finish eating quickly, and class will start later.

"Oh, big representative, this time our class is back to the No. 1 high seat in grade average..." the boy in front of Zhou Ran waved the statistics sheet in his hand and shouted excitedly.

Someone next to him made a fuss, "Delegate, what did you say, if we take the first place in this exam, but you want to treat us to dinner, hehe, come on, we are all planning to postpone our trip home, just waiting for you It's a treat," the boy was gearing up, smiling wickedly.

After the midterm exam, there are three days to go home. Most of them are boarding students. In the afternoon, the school basically does not have classes, and there is more time to go home.

Zhou Ran took out a paper towel to wipe his mouth, and wiped Er Bao's mouth full of strawberry juice. Seeing him baring his teeth and sticking out his tongue, he couldn't help chuckling, and turned to look at the crowd, "Okay, wait for this labor day After the hygiene of the class is finished, let's go to reward and reward, and now we will use the pastries made by my mother to pad our stomachs first."

Zhou Huaning put a lot of effort into making so many exquisite and delicious pastries last night, because Zhou Ran also thought about repaying the side dishes given by his former classmates, and even helped out with his own hands.Moreover, it was also the first time for Zhou Huaning to hear Zhou Ran talking about their class in her ear, and he felt relieved that Zhou Ran was able to get along so well with his classmates, so he paid more attention to this pastry, and put more effort into it.

After the pastry was brought, it was kept at the foot of the table next to Zhou Ran. His position was next to the window on the wall. Mu Wei was outside, and he sat inside. Most girls love desserts, and the smell of the pastry lingered all the time. Looking at Mu Wei's nose, she always wanted to eat it as soon as she hooked it. At that time, Zhou Ran gave her a light look, and she stopped again. Now that she heard that she could eat it, the most interesting thing would be the she is gone.

"Come on, come on, hurry up, the team leader will come over and distribute it together. After eating, clean up and go have a big meal..." Li Mingliang shook the big box in his hand with a smile, and yelled for them to come up and get it. , Mu Wei hurried up to grab a few first.

As soon as I opened the package, the aroma overflowed for a moment. The greedy boarding students who seldom eat snacks at school swallowed for a while, and did not forget to thank Zhou Ran when they received the things, and then ate their portion with a smile, satisfied Take a deep breath.

Zhou Ran was a little dazed looking out the window, and didn't come back to his senses until the teacher walked into the classroom.

Because there are some classmates whose homes are far away from the school, there are only a dozen or twenty who can go out for dinner with Zhou Ran, both boys and girls, and Chen Haiqing and Mu Wei are among them.

Because they made a note with the class teacher, and agreed that they must return before ten o'clock in the evening, and the vicinity of the school is already a bustling place, so they didn't go too far, but just found a small restaurant with a decent grade to rub their hands. a meal.

"Boss, here are more than a dozen bottles of beer. I want ice, I want ice." After ordering their favorite dishes at the dinner table, several boys ordered beer. I grew up soaked in wine jugs, so it goes without saying that I can't drink enough. I guess they didn't take this idea of ​​water seriously. When they were in the school dormitory, they couldn't help but crave a few times and secretly hid several bottles of liquor. Drink it secretly, it's really a wine gourd.

Zhou Ran also got a bottle of beer. His alcohol capacity is not very good, but he can still drink this idea, while the girls have all kinds of drinks, and some girls who want to drink are stopped by Zhou Ran. A large group of people came out, and they had to be taken back safely no matter what. It was really inappropriate for a girl to drink outside. I am not afraid that you will get drunk, but I am afraid that something irreparable will happen after you are drunk. That week Ran Ke is guilty of a serious crime.

"Grand Representative, you are discriminating against women. Why can't girls drink? We have tempered our drinking capacity at home. Today we have to let you see and see..." One of the girls is also from the north, with a temper She is very forthright, but Zhou Ran is also the one that bothers her the most.

Zhou Ran reached out and poured her a glass of orange juice, with a calm face, "Girls should be more careful outside, drink this." He then took the bottle of beer in front of her away.

Perhaps because they saw Zhou Ran's rare happy mood, everyone was not as scrupulous about making jokes as before. They grinned freely and talked about interesting things at home, or winked to express their current mood. How excited and excited, each talking freely, the atmosphere is extremely good.

Zhou Ran was chased and drank a few glasses of wine, his face was immediately stained with a touch of rouge, his picturesque eyebrows seemed to slowly fade away like ripples, the ink and wash were light, calm and suitable, looking at the crooked sitting squinting His appearance is truly monstrous.

There were a few boys who were also entrusted by the girls next door, and they all tried to get news from Zhou Ran, so that when Zhou Ran raised his eyes to look at them, his eyes were so empty.

"I'm not looking for a girlfriend," Zhou Ran smiled and took a sip of his wine, then sat back in a crooked position, squinting his eyes with a half-smile, "If you really look for one, you can't be worse than me." He was also joking Son, although he is not purely gay, his interest in girls is really very weak. Before he met Huo Wendong, he always felt that it didn't matter whether his future partner was male or female, and the boundaries in this regard were not too extreme. obvious.

The few boys next to him who came to talk about the news all smacked their lips in surprise, ah, this request is too high, he should go back and persuade those girls to get rid of this thought quickly, otherwise he will have to compare himself to death, This is the gap.

Mu Wei glanced at Zhou Ran with a smile, and began to think that if she recorded the words, she would send them to Huo Wendong next time to see what Zhou Ran looked like.Hehe, it must be as miserable as the little aunt. The last time the little uncle received this thing, his face was black, and the little aunt couldn't come out of the room for several days. She saw the little uncle hugging the little aunt several times Into the bathroom.Not to mention that man Huo Wendong, after thinking about it, she couldn't wait.

Zhou Ran looked back inexplicably, always feeling a little cold behind his back, but if he took a closer look, he couldn't see anything ugly, and he just let it go after a few times, and asked Mu Wei when he went back. .

A group of people were laughing and laughing at the dinner table. They originally planned to go to the amusement park, but at the end of this month, the landlord's house had no food, and the gang of boys was even worse. Except for the car money to go home, they basically had nothing.Ran invited food this week, and they were too embarrassed to let others invite them to play again, so they wandered around, and when it was past [-] o'clock in the evening, they all picked up tickets to catch the late bus as if they were in a hurry. Zhou Ran watched them wave to him one by one from behind, and howled that he would bring Zhou Ran some delicious food when they got home and let him wait. Zhou Ran smiled knowingly, and his brows and eyes stretched.

Zhou Ran didn't go home, but took a taxi and went straight to Lin's house. Zhou Huaning told him this morning that Yuan Dingbang seemed to have asked for leave to go on a date with her, and even April went with her.

It was still the old housekeeper who opened the door, seeing Zhou Ran who was carrying a small porcelain jar outside the door, his benevolent brows looked like a Maitreya Buddha, he squinted his eyes and smiled and said: "It's Master Aran, come in, come in quickly. "Speaking, he opened the door and let Zhou Ran in.

"Is aunt at home?" Zhou Ran asked slowly, following the steps of the old butler, a little behind.

The old housekeeper waved his hand, and replied casually: "Miss Jingxian is practicing calligraphy in the backyard, the owner is not at home, and has something to go out."

Zhou Ran nodded and didn't say anything else, just quietly listening to the old butler's ramblings, saying, oh my god, it's really hot, Master Aran should pay attention to his body, and ask Zhou Huaning to boil some cold water to keep it cold. It’s just right for me to go home after school; I asked Zhou Ran whether it’s been a bitter summer recently, and said that Aunt Cai has pickled a lot of melon sticks recently, which are crisp and refreshing, so I’m ready to eat, so Master A Ran will bring some back. If he thinks it's delicious, he will drive some over there, and he must pay attention to his body...

"Remember to tell me before you go back later, I'll ask Aunt Cai to prepare it for you, ah," the old butler walked slowly out of the backyard gate, waved his hand to Zhou Ran with a smile, and gently urged.

Zhou Ran watched the old butler walking away with his hands behind his back, shaking three times, then adjusted his cuffs with a smile, and walked forward.

Lin Jingxian was really practicing calligraphy as the old housekeeper said, but this time she was wearing a vermilion long dress with swaying sleeves and light green gauze. Looking from a distance, she felt as if that person was about to fly to the sky at any time.

Before Zhou Ran approached, Lin Jingxian first raised her head to look at Zhou Ran, with a gentle smile in her eyes, and waved to Zhou Ran from a few steps away, then stroked her sleeves, and cleaned up the ink, paper and inkstone one by one good.

Zhou Ran took a closer look, and it said Tao Yuanming's "Plucking Chrysanthemums Under the Eastern Fence, and Seeing Nanshan Leisurely", which was written in a bold and majestic manner. For a while, I was a little surprised that a woman could write such a graceful The font is elegant and elegant.

Lin Jingxian packed her things, and regardless of the still-dry copybook, she turned around and walked to the stone table beside her, picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of Pu'er tea, then sipped it carefully with her eyes narrowed, before laughing slowly Said: "How come Ah Ran has time to visit my aunt?"

Zhou Ran looked at the copybook playfully, turned away his eyes lightly, then shook the jar in his hand with a smile, raised the corner of his lips and said: "I need more aunt to help me get the ink last time, otherwise It’s really tricky for me to deal with.”

Lin Jingxian waved her hands, didn't care, just looked at him with those moist eyes, and after a while, she asked word by word: "Have you considered what I told you last time?" ?”

Zhou Ran paused, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my aunt's kindness." He continued to move his hands to open the cloth on the jar, and added slowly: "I don't worry about my mother. , here is something I can't let go of." As early as after the kidnapping, he made up his mind to stay by Zhou Huaning's side and watch her be happy, he couldn't accept that this woman was suffering in a place he couldn't see.

Moreover, he seemed to be unable to let go of that person more and more in his heart, and now he couldn't just leave him behind and leave in a cool way.

It seemed that Zhou Ran's answer had already been expected, but Lin Jingxian still felt that it was a pity that if such a good seedling could be accepted as her own, on the one hand, it would be regarded as fulfilling her second brother's last wish, on the other hand, she would also be able to be in Zhou Ran's life. When Ran really grows up, he entrusts all the forces in his hands to him. Perhaps, his desire to be alone and play around the world can be realized.

Sighing inwardly, she rubbed her temples and thought about it carefully. Lin Jingxian didn't force her, she just held the teacup and smiled warmly, "It's not urgent, I'm waiting for your answer."

As soon as the cloth on the small jar was unsealed, Lin Jingxian was attracted by the strong aroma. She opened her eyes wide, as if she was curious about what was in it, but when she sniffed it carefully, it was similar to the aroma of the cups she drank last time. It's not the same, and the style is very different. Compared with the mellow aroma of the monkey wine, this one is more fruity and woody.

Zhou Ran took a clean porcelain cup and poured it into a small cup. Seeing the liquid as thick as milk swaying in the small cup, Lin Jingxian's eyes seemed to be stuck on it and she couldn't take it off. Zhou Ran didn't take a sip until he handed it to him, then let out a long sigh of satisfaction, and said jokingly: "Ah Ran has so many good things, your uncle is so stingy!" , I only tasted three small cups of that wine, and then I was not allowed to touch it."

Zhou Ran was stunned, but there was nothing unusual on his face. He just smiled and said, "This is a gift specially given to my aunt. It is very effective for women's skin, and it is also a leading model in beauty care."

He discovered this by accident when he entered the space two days ago. At that time, he was being chased by a huge wild dog, and he climbed up the tree trunk in a hurry, but the dog was guarding under the tree unyieldingly, from time to time. He was about to bump into the big tree trunk. Zhou Ran didn't pay attention at that time, but just glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw the small crumbling fruit on the branch. Jing opened it with a small knife, and saw that the inside of the fruit was filled with white thick liquid like a coconut. Curious, she even drank a few sips regardless. Thinking about it, I simply cut a big bag and ran out of the grove to find the record book on the foot of the bed, and only then did I get the fruit wine I have today.

Lin Jingxian squinted and smiled when she smelled the wine, and looked at Zhou Ran with a more friendly attitude. She doesn't have any big hobbies, but she is obsessed with wine to death. When she sees good wine, she can't walk. .When she was a child, she was often scolded and punished for this reason. Although she felt unconvinced at the time, and even hated her elder brother and second brother, but thinking about it now, she feels very warm.

As soon as she was in a good mood, she also became in the mood of pulling Zhou Ran to chat about family affairs, and from time to time, a little-known little interesting story broke out. Zhou Ran was quietly listening to her, watching her turn her face slightly With a nostalgic expression on her face, Lin Jingxian also talked a lot, and Zhou Ran sat with her until after ten o'clock in the evening before going back.

After saying goodbye to Lin Jingxian, Zhou Ran was about to go back home, but before he walked out of the Lin family gate, the old butler ran after him, "Master Aran, master Aran, wait, wait... …”

Zhou Ran stopped in response, and saw him running over with a mobile phone, "You left your mobile phone there, I heard someone calling you just now." Then he shook the jar of melon sticks in his hand, Let Zhou Ran take it home to eat.

Reaching out to take the phone and the jar of melon sticks, Zhou Ran bowed her lips to thank him, and then walked out of Lin's house step by step.

After walking out of the gate and getting into the taxi, Zhou Ran turned on his phone and saw that Zhou Huaning had called him more than a dozen or twenty times. He seemed really anxious, and he frowned slightly and dialed back. .

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhou Huaning's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ran Ran, something happened, something big..."
