Bamboo horses in the morning and evening

Lu Qifan seemed to be a different person. Not only did he go to school on time, he attended classes seriously, he no longer resisted the one-on-one tutoring at night, and he also turned on the lights to complete the homework assigned by the teacher.

This frightened Zhong Ye, he closed the door and asked Lu Jincheng worriedly, "What's going on?"

Lu Jincheng snorted softly: "I've been a fool for three years, and I don't know how to worry until I come to the examination room."

Zhong Ye pushed him, and warned: "Just know that you are in a hurry, you are not allowed to pour cold water, do you hear me?"

"You're too used to him—" Lu Jincheng was intimidated by Zhong Ye's eyes in the middle of his sentence, and he shut his mouth wisely. Zhong Ye hit a mallet and gave him a candy, and leaned forward to kiss him, Lu Jincheng didn't care The little bastard upstairs just asked Zhong Ye, "Go out to eat tonight?"

Lu Qifan was coming out to drink water, and when he saw the two tired and crooked people on the sofa, he had already gotten used to it, and walked down expressionlessly, Zhong Ye quickly got up, stepped forward to take Lu Qifan's cup: "Xiao Qi, Would you like lemon tea?"

Lu Qifan reluctantly took a sip, then shook his head and refused: "It's too sour."

"Is it still sour? Then add some sparkling water, and Juan will teach me."

Lu Qifan paused, "Oh."

He takes the cup.

"Xiao Qi, don't put too much pressure on yourself, everyone has something that everyone is good at." Zhong Ye looked at Lu Qifan with a smile, and said softly: "My little dad didn't get good grades back then, but as long as he worked hard, It's enough not to regret."

Lu Qifan nodded, Zhong Ye suddenly felt a little emotional, and reached out to stroke Lu Qifan's hair.

When did you grow up?

Almost as tall as his dad.

"Go." Zhong Ye patted Lu Qifan, and Lu Qifan turned back to the room.

Zhou Zhimeng asked the driver to deliver the small biscuits he made himself. The sea salt crispy chicken legs and honey sauce chicken wings were packed in different insulated boxes, and a small card was hung on the bag. One word: Xiaoqi, come on!

Lu Qifan carefully took off the card and hung it on the lamp.

After a short break, the teacher of the next subject went online and analyzed the wrong questions on his mock paper for him. The teacher said: "I have made great progress. Now let's go over your weak knowledge points and try to start tomorrow. One round of review."

When the tutoring was over, it was nearly twelve o'clock, and Lu Jincheng knocked on the door and came in, with a gentler tone than usual, "Go to bed early."

"Got it." Lu Qifan took his clothes and went straight into the shower without flirting with his father.

Lu Jincheng flipped through Lu Qifan's homework and test papers, saw the red cross on it and the crooked corrections on the side, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"This kid..."

There were no big twists and turns. Lu Qifan grew up quietly like this. He became studious and serious overnight. Everyone around him was amazed. In the end, it was Zhong Ye who figured it out first. He said to Lu Jincheng: "Little Qifan I don’t want to make too much difference to Juanjuan, last time you said that Juanjuan would dislike him, he listened and took it seriously.”

Lu Jincheng felt a little regretful when he heard the words.

"It's not a bad thing." Zhong Ye comforted him.

Lu Qifan is fine now, but he doesn't want to see Zhou Zhimeng.

This day, Zhou Zhi Monte was waiting for him at the school gate, and when he saw him, he took the initiative to come forward: "Xiaoqi, go to my house for dinner."

Lu Qifan refused, "No need, I have classes tonight."

Zhou Zhimeng was stunned, when did Lu Qifan reject him?Every time it was Lu Qifan who refused to go home, he forcefully drove Lu Qifan back.

What's wrong with this now?

"Xiaoqi, you've been so tired recently, you should take a break. My dad made crab roe and tofu soup. Go and eat a bowl before going home. It won't waste time."

Lu Qifan was a little shaken, but now he felt a little ashamed when facing Zhou Zhimeng. He didn't like studying in the first place, and he didn't care about his failed test papers. Sometimes Zhou Zhimeng worked hard to help him read the wrong papers He always held an indifferent attitude, but this intensive counseling made him understand how much time he wasted.

Every time he makes a mistake in a simple question, he will think of the picture of Zhou Zhimeng raising the flag on the stage on Monday.

Will Zhou Zhimeng look down on him in his heart?But because he was a playmate since he was a child, he treated him well as always, and he couldn't control the continuous emergence of such thoughts.

The greater the pressure, the less he dared to approach Zhou Zhimeng.

"No need, I have too many classes tonight, and one of the teachers moved up the time, I'm sorry, I'll look for you after the exam is over." Lu Qifan turned to leave.

Zhou Zhimeng froze in place.

He didn't know what kind of temper Lu Qifan was throwing again, he got into the car in frustration, grabbed his schoolbag and got annoyed for a while, before he said to the driver: "Uncle, let's go."

The car had just started when someone knocked on the window twice.

Zhou Zhimeng turned his head and looked over, it was Lu Qifan.

Lu Qifan opened the car door and looked straight at Zhou Zhimeng, "...I still want to eat crab roe soup."

Zhou Zhimeng turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant, and smiled. He sat aside and made way for Lu Qifan. After Lu Qifan sat in, he still took Lu Qifan's schoolbag as usual. It's not just a messy exercise book, there are test papers, wrong question sets, and a few notebooks. Zhou Zhimeng flipped through it and praised: "It's very good now, and I can even do this kind of finale."

Lu Qifan looked out of the car window and didn't speak.

Zhou Zhimeng looked like a parent, and was very pleased with Lu Qifan's progress. After reading a few test papers, he arrived at the door of the house, and said in a rambling manner: "If you can do these questions, you will have no problem. Really, the high school entrance examination The subject is not too difficult."

Lu Qifan took him down with his schoolbag.

"You're getting small, go wash your hands and eat." Zhou Huaisheng said.

The golden soup is full of plump crab meat and oily crab roe, as well as tender tofu that melts in your mouth, thick and delicious, which makes people feel full of happiness.

Lu Qifan, who has no appetite, also drank three small bowls. Zhou Zhimeng talked to his father about the competition while drinking, "It should be at the end of September for the exam, and the scores will be available before the Chinese New Year, and then the recommended places in March will be almost determined." down."

"Relax, Dad trusts you," Zhou Huaisheng put food into Lu Qifan's bowl again, "Small Qi too, relax, it's just an exam."

"Thank you uncle." Lu Qifan said.

After eating, Lu Qifan went upstairs to attend class. Zhou Zhimeng looked at Lu Qifan's back in a daze, as if he saw some horror scene, "Small Qi has changed a lot."

"It's time to grow up when you're young." Zhou Huaisheng cleaned up the kitchen, "Go to your little dad's study to do your homework, and give your desk to my younger brother."

"Okay," Zhou Zhimeng jumped on Zhou Huaisheng's back and said, "Crab roe soup is really delicious, Dad, let's make it again tomorrow."

When Zhou Zhimeng was very young, he lived a very hard life with Zhou Huaisheng. As a beta, Zhou Huaisheng took care of him while delivering food. He earned ten yuan and ninety-five yuan was spent on him, so the relationship between Zhou Zhimeng and Zhou Huaisheng The relationship between father and son is deeper than usual. Even when he grows up, Zhou Zhimeng still acts like a baby habitually.

Zhou Huaisheng wiped his hands, picked up Zhou Zhimeng's leg, and carried him on his back, "The little greedy cat is getting heavier and heavier."

Zhou Zhimeng lay on Zhou Huaisheng's back and sighed a little.

"Capital University is still a little far away from Wangcheng. Will you feel homesick in the future?"

"Yes, definitely," Zhou Zhimeng's thoughts were guessed at once, and he said in a low mood, "I will miss my father and my little father, as well as Xiao Qi, Uncle Zhong, Uncle Lu..."

"Don't be afraid. When you arrive at university, you will have a new and different life. You will meet new classmates and friends. If you feel homesick, my little dad and I will fly over to accompany you."

"New friend." Zhou Zhimeng muttered.

"Yeah, your little dad said that college is a very special and important time in one's life. Maybe you can meet lifelong friends in college."

"Isn't Xiao Qi a lifelong friend?"

"Xiao Qi is a relative, it's different."

Zhou Zhimeng was startled, unable to react.

Zhou Huaisheng put him down, "Don't think so much, take it step by step."

On the way to the study, Zhou Zhimeng couldn’t stop thinking about this question. Xiao Qi is a relative...Of course Xiao Qi can be counted as a relative. Uncle Zhong and Uncle Lu are all relatives, but the word relatives feels a bit strange to him. It seems that they are closer in blood, but the distance has become farther.

He shook his head, feeling that his father was not quite right.

As soon as he sat down, Wen Qiyue sent him a message, "Gossip and gossip! The old class found out about the monitor and Wang Yao!"

"... What's the matter with the squad leader and Wang Yao?" Zhou Zhimeng was puzzled.

"Brother, do you have a 2G network? He made an official announcement with Wang Yao last semester, and you didn't even know?"

"……do not know."

Wen Qiyue sent a series of wordless emojis, Zhou Zhimeng scratched his head, "My old class found out, what should I do now?"

"Admit your mistakes and write a letter of guarantee. Anyway, I think they were just joking around."

"Oh, it's fine." Zhou Zhimeng said.

Wen Qiyue went on to gossip again, but Zhou Zhimeng began to try hard to recall the picture of the squad leader and Wang Yao in the same frame. He thought it was nothing at first, but when he thought about their relationship, the picture suddenly became strange.

Zhou Zhimeng shook his hand, and the phone fell on the table, and the sound drove away the strange images in his head.

He took out his homework and started to do it.

Lu Qifan's class didn't end until [-]:[-], Zhou Zhimeng couldn't bear it anymore, and had already fallen asleep with the quilt in his arms. As soon as Lu Qifan came out of the bathroom, he saw Zhou Zhimeng sleeping carelessly in the middle of the bed , the curly hair rubbed even more messy.

Lu Qifan turned off the desk lamp, walked to the bed, put Zhou Zhimeng's arms slightly inward, and found an open space to lie down. The quilt was all on Zhou Zhimeng's place, and he didn't bother to pull it, so he stared sideways at Zhou Zhimeng. Mongolian.

Suddenly he smelled a faint fragrance.

Like coconut milk, very sweet.

……

Zhou Zhimeng had a nightmare. In the dream, he was on a black beach, and a huge sea monster swam in the distance, covering the entire sky, and swallowing him in one gulp.

He woke up suddenly, but his vision was very dark, just like in a dream.

He heard rapid breathing and a powerful breath that made him unable to move his hands and feet, suppressing him and making him tremble with fear. He subconsciously shouted "Xiaoqi", trying to protect him.

But before he finished speaking, he was turned over.

Lu Qifan wrapped him with two layers of quilt, and then hugged the quilt tightly.

But this is not enough.

What he wants to bite, has to bite something.

He picked up Zhou Zhimeng's quilt uncontrollably, and Zhou Zhimeng finally realized it.

He trembled and asked, "Xiao Qi, are you going to split?"
